SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED ____, 2021

IMPACT BIOMEDICAL, INC.

123,651,388 shares of Common Stock

(par value $0.001 per share)

This Prospectus is being furnished to you as a stockholder of Document Security Systems, Inc., a New York corporation, referred to as DSS, in connection with the planned distribution to its stockholders of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock” ) of Impact BioMedical, Inc. (the “Company,” “Impact,” “we,” “our” or “us” as applicable) beneficially held by DSS (the “Distribution”).

DSS’s long-term plans for the Company include taking it public through an initial public offering. In concert with this public offering, DSS plans to distribute an aggregate of approximately _________ shares of our Common Stock (the “Impact Shares”) beneficially held by it in a distribution to holders of common stock, par value $0.02 per share, of DSS (“DSS Common Stock”) as of ___________(the “Record Date”), except DSS will not distribute any Impact Shares to the Chairman of the Board of DSS, Mr. Chan Heng Fai Ambrose, or any of his affiliates that hold shares of DSS Common Stock. As of the Record Date, Mr. Chan, individually and through affiliates, beneficially held ___________ shares of DSS Common Stock (the “Affiliate Shares”). Except for the Affiliate Shares, each share of DSS Common Stock outstanding as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, held on a Record Date, will entitle the holder thereof to receive four (4) Impact Shares.

Immediately prior to the Distribution, DSS will beneficially hold 100%, or ______, of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The Distribution will be effective as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on (“Distribution Date”), after which DSS will beneficially hold approximately__, or _____%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

The Distribution will not occur until this Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Distribution will be made in book-entry form by a distribution agent.

All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are currently beneficially owned by DSS. Accordingly, there currently is no public trading market for our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is currently not listed for trading on any stock exchange or market. The Impact Shares may be illiquid as we cannot predict whether any trading market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our Common Stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock.

DSS stockholders are not required to vote on or take any other action in connection with the Distribution. We are not asking you for a proxy, and we request that you do not send us a proxy. DSS stockholders will not be required to pay any consideration for the Impact Shares that they receive in the Distribution, and they will not be required to surrender or exchange their shares of DSS Common Stock or take any other action in connection with the Distribution.

In reviewing this Prospectus, you should carefully consider the matters described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this Prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This Prospectus is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities.

The date of this Prospectus is , 2021.

SUMMARY

To understand fully and for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the Distribution, you should read this Prospectus in its entirety, including the information presented under the section titled “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the documents to which you are referred. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Except where the context otherwise requires, or where otherwise indicated, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to are to Impact BioMedical, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Introduction

Currently, we are a holding Company operating mainly through our majority owned subsidiary, Global BioLife, Inc., which was incorporated on April 14, 2017. The Company is committed to both funding research and developing intellectual property portfolio. We currently focus on research in three main areas: (i) development of a universal therapeutic drug platform; (ii) a new sugar substitute; and (iii) a multi-use fragrance.

Business Overview

We leverage our scientific know-how and intellectual property rights to provide solutions that have been plaguing the biomedical field for decades. Together with scientific partners, our aim is to drive mission-oriented research to advance drug discovery and development for the prevention, inhibition, and treatment of neurological, oncology and immuno-related diseases. Our research and development efforts are headed by Mr. Daryl Thompson in his capacity as Director of Scientific Initiatives in Global BioLife Inc. (“Global BioLife”). Mr. Thompson has initiated research regarding universal therapeutics as part of an attempt to help cure some of the world’s deadliest diseases.

We have five wholly owned subsidiaries and six partially owned subsidiaries. We are the single largest and controlling shareholder of Global BioLife, with an effective ownership of 63.64%. The other shareholders of Global BioLife include Holista CollTech Limited (“Holista CollTech”) (the majority shareholder of Alset International Inc. is also a significant shareholder in Holista CollTech) and GRDG Sciences, LLC (“GRDG”), a related party via their equity position in several of the Company’s subsidiaries, formed by Mr. Thompson.

Global BioLife has biomedical intellectual property, including intellectual property assigned to it by one of its shareholders. Global BioLife is a company devoted to research in four main areas: (i) the “Linebacker” project, which aims to develop a universal therapeutic drug platform; (ii) a new sugar substitute called “Laetose,”; (iii) a multi-use fragrance called “3F” (Functional Fragrance Formulation); and (iv) Equivir/Nemovir, a blend of natural polyphenols designed as an antimicrobial medication.

Linebacker

“Unlike the traditional approach to treat individual diseases with specific drugs, the Linebacker platform seeks to offer a breakthrough therapeutic option for multiple diseases. Linebacker is designed to work by inhibiting a cascade of inflammatory responses responsible for many diseases. Its design is in direct contrast to the traditional approach of targeting individual diseases with specific drugs.

Laetose

We have also developed a low-calorie, low glycemic level, natural modified sugar through Global BioLife. The product, “Laetose,” is a functional sugar with a calorie count 30% to 50% lower than regular sugar. Laetose is designed to possess low glycemic properties and mitigate inflammation. The Company is presently seeking to license Laetose. Global BioLife established a joint venture, Sweet Sense, Inc. (“Sweet Sense”), with Quality Ingredients, LLC for the development, manufacture, and global distribution of the new sugar substitute. On November 8, 2019, the Company purchased 50% of Sweet Sense Inc. from Quality Ingredients, LLC for $91,000. Sweet Sense is now an 81.8% owned subsidiary of the Impact BioMedical.

Functional Fragrance Formulation (“3F”)

Global BioLife has established a collaboration with U.S.-based Chemia Corporation to develop specialized fragrances to counter mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika and Dengue, among other medical applications. The 3F mosquito fragrance product, which is made from specialized oils sourced from botanicals that mosquitos avoid, has shown promising results in repelling mosquitos in laboratory testing. Global BioLife is seeking to commercialize this product. Together with Chemia, we are attempting to license 3F. Any potential profits from the 3F project will be split between Global BioLife and Chemia pursuant to the terms of the Royalty Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2018, by and between Global BioLife and Chemia Corporation, and the Addendum thereto, dated as of November 27, 2018 and Amendment No. 1 to Royalty Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2019.

Table of Contents

Equivir

Equivir was created for use in biological emergencies. Equivir is a patented medication, that has broad antiviral efficacy against multiple types of infectious disease. The ability of Equivir to inhibit viruses makes it a promising candidate.

Global BioLife and Sweet Sense have engaged a consulting firm in the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industry, to assist in our goal of licensing each of Linebacker, Laetose, 3F and Equivir/Nemovir.

Commercialization Business Strategies

Our business model revolves mainly around two approaches – Licensing and Sales Distribution.

1. Licensing

The licensing strategy envisions that our subsidiaries would develop valuable and unique patented technologies which would then be licensed to pharmaceutical companies or venture capitalists in exchange for an agreed payment (consisting of a fee or royalty). We believe that interest in licensing certain projects may rise over time as validating data becomes available.

2. Sales Distribution

Certain affiliates of ours have relationships with developing global distribution networks. We currently intend to engage in private labelling to go into production of products for sales generation. Our plans to expand its geographical presence globally and intends to launch more products to add on over time. In addition, the we intend to launch a new retail e-commerce site in 2020 to allow us to take orders and deliver products.

Future Product Research Pipeline

In addition to our major projects, the company has several other early stage research projects that we believe have potential for further research and development. In particular, we have partnered with GRDG, a specialized research team that focuses on developing solutions for biodefense under the guidelines of the Project BioShield Act, Event 201, and Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, on the following research project:

Cannabinoid Research

Through our partnership with GRDG, we intend to work in collaboration with research institutions to enhance a cannabinoid extract for the treatment of cancers and cancer-associated pain, and will look to use the expertise of collaborating research institutions to synthesize, test and validate the compounds. The result of this one-year program will be looking at two therapeutic drugs that have been evaluated for in-vitro efficacy against Pancreatic, Lung, Breast, and Prostate Cancer; in-vivo efficacy against Pancreatic Cancer in an animal model; in-vivo efficacy against Pancreatic Cancer-induced pain in an animal model; and in-vivo Pharmacokinetic and toxicity in animals to include vital organ and blood plasma concentrations after administration, major cytokine activity, renal function, blood chemistry/hematology, cellular morphology, Mitotic index, and Maximum Tolerated Dose. These tests, conducted in rats, will attempt to determine how much of the drugs can be administered safely, the effects of the drugs on metabolism and organs, and their effective doses for the respective purposes.

Risk Factors related to Our Business Operations

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our operations may be materially harmed.

We rely on and expect to continue to rely on agreements with parties with whom we have relationships, as well as patent, trademark and trade secret protection laws, to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of its intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss in potential revenue and could materially harm our operations and financial condition

New legislation, regulations or rules related to obtaining patents or enforcing patents could significantly increase our operating costs and decrease any potential revenue we might otherwise make.

We spend a significant amount of resources on its patent assets. If new legislation, regulations or rules are implemented either by Congress, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) or the courts that impact the patent application process, the patent enforcement process or the rights of patent holders, these changes could negatively affect its expenses, potential revenue and could negatively impact the value of its assets.

Safety and effectiveness concerns can have significant negative impacts on sales and results of operations, lead to litigation and cause reputational damage.

Concerns about product safety, whether raised internally or by litigants, regulators or consumer advocates, and whether or not based on scientific evidence, can result in safety alerts, product recalls, governmental investigations, regulatory action on the part of the FDA (or its counterpart in other countries), private claims and lawsuits, payment of fines and settlements, declining sales and reputational damage. These circumstances can also result in damage to brand image, brand equity and consumer trust in products. Product recalls could in the future prompt government investigations and inspections, the shutdown of manufacturing facilities, continued product shortages and related sales declines, significant remediation costs, reputational damage, possible civil penalties and criminal prosecution.

Significant challenges or delays in our innovation and development of new products, technologies and indications could have an adverse impact on our long-term success.

Our continued growth and success depend on our ability to innovate and develop new and differentiated products and services that address the evolving health care needs of patients, providers and consumers. Development of successful products and technologies may also be necessary to offset revenue losses should our products lose market share due to various factors such as competition and loss of patent exclusivity. We cannot be certain when or whether we will be able to develop, license or otherwise acquire companies, products and technologies, whether particular product candidates will be granted regulatory approval, and, if approved, whether the products will be commercially successful. We pursue product development through internal research and development as well as through collaborations, acquisitions, joint ventures and licensing or other arrangements with third parties. In all of these contexts, developing new products, particularly biotechnology products, requires a significant commitment of resources over many years. Only a very few biopharmaceutical research and development programs result in commercially viable products. The process depends on many factors, including the ability to discern patients’ and healthcare providers’ future needs; develop new compounds, strategies and technologies; achieve successful clinical trial results; secure effective intellectual property protection; obtain regulatory approvals on a timely basis; and, if and when they reach the market, successfully differentiate its products from competing products and approaches to treatment. New products or enhancements to existing products may not be accepted quickly or significantly in the marketplace for healthcare providers, and there may be uncertainty over third-party reimbursement. Even following initial regulatory approval, the success of a product can be adversely impacted by safety and efficacy findings in larger patient populations, as well as market entry of competitive products.

Share Exchange Transaction

On August 21, 2020, we closed on a Share Exchange Agreement by and among DSS, DSS BioHealth Security, Inc. (“DSS BioHealth”), Alset International Ltd.(formerly Singapore eDevelopment Ltd.), and Global Biomedical Pte Ltd. (“GBM”), pursuant to which we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS BioHealth. Shortly after closing, Frank D. Heuszel, Jason Grady and John Thatch were appointed directors, and Mr. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan remained on the Board of Directors and appointed Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Heuszel was appointed President, Mr. Grady was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Todd Macko was appointed Secretary and Treasurer, replacing the officers and directors who resigned in connection with the share exchange.

Mr. Chan is the Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder of Alset International Ltd., as well as the Chairman of the Board and largest shareholder of the DSS.

We expect that it will take the distribution agent up to two weeks to electronically issue shares of our Common Stock to you or your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form. If you own your shares of DSS Common Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, your bank, broker or other nominee will credit your account with the whole shares of our Common Stock that you receive in Distribution on or shortly after the Distribution Date. You will not be required to make any payment, surrender or exchange your shares of DSS Common Stock or take any other action to receive your shares of our Common Stock.

Table of Contents

●

no other events or developments shall have occurred prior to the Distribution Date that, in the sole judgment of the DSS Board, would result in the Distribution having a material adverse effect on DSS or its stockholders;

		The fulfillment of the foregoing conditions will not create any obligation on the part of DSS to effect the Distribution. We are not aware of any material federal, foreign or state regulatory requirements with which we must comply, other than SEC rules and regulations, or any material approvals that we must obtain, other than the SEC’s declaration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, in connection with the Distribution. DSS has the right not to complete the Distribution if, at any time, the DSS Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Distribution is not in the best interests of DSS or its stockholders or is otherwise not advisable. For a more detailed description, see “The Distribution—Conditions to the Distribution.”

Trading Market
		All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are currently beneficially owned by DSS. Accordingly, there currently is no public trading market for the Common Stock. The Common Stock is currently not listed for trading on any stock exchange or market. The Common Stock may be illiquid as we cannot predict whether any trading market will develop.

Table of Contents

Tax Consequences to DS Stockholders
		U.S. federal income tax treatment of the issuance of our Common Stock to DSS shareholders is unclear at this stage. Accordingly, stockholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to them of a possible distribution of the Impact Shares. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution” for more information regarding the potential tax consequences to you of the Distribution.

		You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the particular tax consequences of the Distribution to you, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

Dividend Policy
		Following the Distribution, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See “Dividend Policy” for more information.

Transfer Agent and Distribution Agent
		V Stock Transfer LLC, the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock, will serve as distribution agent in connection with the Distribution.

Risk Factors
		Our business faces both general and specific risks and uncertainties. Our business also faces risks relating to the Distribution. Accordingly, you should read carefully the information set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Table of Contents

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all of the information in this Prospectus and each of the risks described below, which we believe are the principal risks that we face. Some of the risks relate to our business, others to the Distribution. Some risks relate principally to the securities markets and ownership of our Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones faced by us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that are currently deemed immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows and the trading price of our Common Stock could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the Distribution

The Distribution may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, if at all.

While we are actively engaged in planning for the Distribution, unanticipated developments could delay or negatively affect the Distribution, including, but not limited to, those related to the filing and effectiveness of appropriate filings with the SEC and receiving any required regulatory approvals. In addition, until a Distribution has occurred, the DSS Board, in its sole discretion, has the right to not proceed with the Distribution, even if all of the conditions are satisfied. Therefore, the Distribution may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, if at all.

DSS expects the Distribution to be treated as a taxable non-liquidating distribution to its stockholders. As a result, a U.S. stockholder of DSS may have a U.S. Federal income tax liability in respect of the Distribution without the receipt of cash from DSS or Impact.

U.S. federal income tax treatment of the issuance of the Impact Shares to DSS shareholders is unclear at this stage. However, DSS expects the Distribution to be treated as a taxable, non-liquidating distribution to its stockholders. As such, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each U.S. stockholder of DSS receiving shares of Impact Common Stock in the Distribution would be treated as if such stockholder had received a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of Impact Common Stock received, which would result in (1) a taxable dividend to the extent of such stockholder’s pro rata share of Impact’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, (2) a reduction in such stockholder’s basis (but not below zero) in DSS common stock to the extent the amount received exceeds such stockholder’s share of earnings and profits and (3) a taxable gain to the extent the amount received exceeds the sum of the amount treated as a dividend and the stockholder’s basis in the DSS Common Stock. Accordingly, such stockholder may have a U.S. federal income tax liability in respect of the Distribution without the receipt of cash from DSS or Impact.

For a more detailed discussion, see the section entitled “The Distribution – U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution” below.

If the Distribution were determined not to qualify for non-recognition of gain and loss, then DSS would recognize gain in an amount up to the fair market value of our Common Stock held by it immediately before the Distribution. See below and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution” for more information.

We have a limited operating history, and our historical financial information may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. As of the date of this report, we have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays our research, testing and marketing efforts or wider economic downturns. For additional information about our past financial performance and the basis of presentation of our financial statements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

Table of Contents

Risks Relating to Our Business

If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our operations may be materially harmed.

Safety and effectiveness concerns can have significant negative impacts on sales and results of operations, lead to litigation and cause reputational damage.

Significant challenges or delays in our innovation and development of new products, technologies and indications could have an adverse impact on our long-term success.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Currently, there is no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any public market will ever develop.

Currently, our Common Stock is not listed or quoted on any public market, exchange, or quotation system. Although we plan to take steps to have our Common Stock publicly traded, a market for our Common Stock may never develop. Even if we are successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable stockholders to sell their stock. If a public market for our Common Stock does not develop, DSS stockholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our Common Stock that they have received, rendering their shares effectively worthless.

Table of Contents

Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market could lower our stock price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership in us.

We may sell additional shares of our Common Stock in public or private offerings. We also may issue convertible debt or equity securities. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales or distributions of our Common Stock will have on the market price of our Common Stock from time to time. Sales or distributions of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales or distributions are likely to occur, could adversely affect the prevailing fair market price for our Common Stock.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our Common Stock must come from increases in the fair market value of our Common Stock.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in our business. Also, any credit agreements, which we may enter into, may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements, future prospects and any other factors our Board deems relevant. Therefore, any return on your investment in our Common Stock must come from increases in the fair market value of our Common Stock. For more information, see “Dividend Policy.”

Your percentage ownership in the Company may be diluted in the future.

Your percentage ownership in the Company may be diluted in the future because of equity awards that we may grant to our directors, officers and other employees. In addition, we may issue equity as all or part of the consideration paid for acquisitions and strategic investments that we may make in the future or as necessary to finance our ongoing operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, level of expenses and anticipated expense reductions, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. The following factors could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations or beliefs:

	●	the potential adverse impact on our business resulting from the Distribution;
	●	the adverse effect from a decline in the securities markets or from catastrophic, unpredictable events like a global health pandemic;
	●	a decline in the performance of our products;
	●	a general downturn in the economy;
	●	changes in government policy or regulation;
	●	changes in our ability to attract or retain key employees;
	●	unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of governmental and self-regulatory organizations; and
	●	other factors (including the risks contained in the section titled “Risk Factors”) relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations.

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, you are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, expectations may prove to have been materially different from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, we also disclaim any obligation to update our view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this Prospectus.

THE DISTRIBUTION

Background

DSS currently beneficially owns through its wholly owned subsidiary, DSS BioHealth, ____ shares of our Common Stock, which represents 100% of the shares outstanding. These shares were acquired on August 21, 2020 upon closing of the Share Exchange Agreement. DSS is deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this Prospectus because it has voting and dispositive power over such shares.

On _________, the DSS Board approved the Distribution. DSS will distribute part of its equity interest that it holds in us, consisting of ___ shares of our Common Stock, to DSS stockholders, except for the holders of the Affiliate Shares. Following the Distribution, DSS will own an equity interest in us of approximately __%, giving DSS effective control over us. No approval of DSS Common Stockholders is required in connection with the Distribution, and DSS stockholders will not have any appraisal rights in connection with the Distribution.

The Distribution is subject to the satisfaction, or the DSS Board’s waiver, of a number of conditions. In addition, DSS has the right not to complete the Distribution if, at any time, the DSS Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Distribution is not in the best interests of DSS or its stockholders or is otherwise not advisable. For a more detailed description, see “The Distribution—Conditions to the Distribution.”

Reasons for the Distribution

The Distribution is the method by which DSS will begin to carry out the intention of management of DSS and the DSS Board to take the Company public and to reward DSS stockholders via the issuance of our shares of Common Stock.

Table of Contents

When and How You Will Receive Company Shares

DSS will distribute to its stockholders, as a dividend, ___________ shares of our Common Stock for every share of DSS Common Stock outstanding, except for the Affiliate Shares, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, ____________, the Record Date of the Distribution.

Prior to the Distribution, DSS will deliver the Common Stock to the distribution agent. V Stock Transfer LLC, the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock, will serve as distribution agent in connection with the Distribution.

If you own DSS common stock on the Record Date, the shares of our Common Stock that you are entitled to receive in the Distribution will be issued to your account as follows:

	●	Registered stockholders. If you own your shares of DSS Common Stock directly through DSS’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are a registered stockholder. In this case, our transfer agent, V Stock Transfer LLC, which is serving as the distribution agent in connection with the Distribution, will credit the whole shares of our Common Stock you receive in the Distribution to a new book-entry account established on or shortly after the Distribution Date. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership where no physical stock certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the Distribution. You will be able to access information regarding your book-entry account holding our shares of Common Stock at V Stock Transfer LLC. Commencing on or shortly after the Distribution Date, the distribution agent will mail to you an account statement that indicates the number of whole shares of our Common Stock that have been registered in book-entry form in your name. We expect it will take the distribution agent up to two weeks after the Distribution Date to complete the distribution of the shares of our Common Stock and mail statements of holding to all registered stockholders.
	●	“Street name” or beneficial stockholders. If you own your shares of DSS Common Stock beneficially through a bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares in “street name” and records your ownership on its books. If you own your shares of DSS Common Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, your bank, broker or other nominee will credit your account with the whole Impact Shares that you receive in the Distribution on or shortly after the Distribution Date. We encourage you to contact your bank, broker or other nominee if you have any questions concerning the mechanics of having shares held in “street name.”

We will not issue any physical stock certificates to any stockholders, even if requested.

If you sell any of your shares of DSS Common Stock on or before a Distribution Date, the buyer of those shares will in most circumstances be entitled to receive the Impact Shares to be distributed in respect of the shares of DSS Common Stock you sold.

We are not asking DSS stockholders to take any action in connection with the Distribution. No approval of the holders of DSS Common Stock is required for the Distribution. We are not asking you for a proxy and request that you not send us a proxy. We are also not asking you to make any payment or surrender or exchange any of your shares of DSS Common Stock for Impact Shares. The number of outstanding shares of DSS Common Stock will not change as a result of the Distribution.

Number of Shares You Will Receive

On the Distribution Date, you will receive four Impact Shares for every share of DSS Common Stock you held on the Record Date.

Table of Contents

Results of the Distribution

After the Distribution, we expect to have approximately holders of shares of our Common Stock, based on the number of DSS stockholders and shares of DSS Common Stock outstanding on . The actual number of holders of shares of our Common Stock will depend on the actual number of holders of shares of DSS Common Stock outstanding on the Record Dates. The Distribution will not affect the number of outstanding shares of DSS Common Stock or any rights of DSS stockholders, although it is possible that the trading price of shares of DSS Common Stock immediately following the Distribution may be lower than immediately prior to the Distribution because the trading price of DSS Common Stock will no longer reflect the value of DSS ownership stake immediately before the Distribution. Nevertheless, we do not expect the trading price of shares of DSS Common Stock immediately following the Distribution to be materially lower. However, until the market has fully analyzed the value of DSS without the value represented by the Impact Shares distributed to DSS stockholders, the trading price of shares of DSS Common Stock may fluctuate.

Listing and Trading of our Common Stock

All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are currently beneficially owned by DSS. Accordingly, there currently is no public trading market for the Impact Shares. Our Common Stock is currently not listed for trading on any stock exchange or market. The Impact Shares may be illiquid as we cannot predict whether any trading market will develop.

Conditions to the Distribution

We expect that each Distribution will be effective on the Distribution Date, provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived by DSS:

	●	the DSS Board shall have authorized and approved the Distribution and not withdrawn such authorization and approval, and shall have declared the dividend of our Common Stock to DSS stockholders;
	●	the SEC shall have declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-1, of which this Prospectus is a part, under the Securities Act, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of our Registration Statement shall be in effect and no proceedings for that purpose shall be pending before or threatened by the SEC;
	●	no order, injunction or decree issued by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the Distribution shall be in effect, and no other event outside the control of DSS shall have occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the Distribution; and
	●	no other events or developments shall have occurred prior to the Distribution Date that, in the judgment of the DSS Board, would result in the Distribution having a material adverse effect on DSS or its stockholders.

DSS shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the Record Date, the Distribution Date and all terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transactions and/or offerings to effect the Distribution and the timing of and conditions to the consummation thereof. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Prospectus, DSS may at any time and from time to time until the Distribution decide to abandon the Distribution including by accelerating or delaying the timing of the consummation of all or part of the Distribution or modifying or changing the terms of the Distribution if, at any time, the DSS Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Distribution is not in the best interests of DSS or its stockholders or is otherwise not advisable.

Reasons for Furnishing this Prospectus

We are furnishing this Prospectus solely to provide information to DSS’s stockholders who will receive Impact Shares in the Distribution. You should not construe this Prospectus as an inducement or encouragement to buy, hold or sell any of our securities or any securities of DSS. We believe that the information contained in this Prospectus is accurate as of the date set forth on the cover. Changes to the information contained in this Prospectus may occur after that date, and neither we nor DSS undertakes any obligation to update the information except in the normal course of our and DSS’s public disclosure obligations and practices and except as required by applicable law.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISTRIBUTION

Consequences to U.S. Holders of DSS Common Stock

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of DSS Common Stock in connection with the Distribution. This summary is based on the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and judicial and administrative interpretations of those laws, in each case as in effect and available as of the date of this Prospectus and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could affect the tax consequences described below.

This summary is limited to holders of DSS Common Stock that are U.S. Holders, as defined immediately below, that hold their DSS Common Stock as a capital asset. A “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of DSS Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

	●	an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States;
	●	a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
	●	an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
	●	a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or, in the case of a trust that was treated as a domestic trust under law in effect before 1997, a valid election is in place under applicable Treasury Regulations.

	●	persons who own DSS Common Stock through partnerships, certain trusts or other pass-through entities.

This summary does not address any U.S. state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences or any estate, gift or other non-income tax consequences.

If a partnership, or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds DSS Common Stock , the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its own tax advisor as to its tax consequences.

YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISTRIBUTION.

Table of Contents

General

U.S. federal income tax treatment of the issuance of the Impact Shares to DSS shareholders is unclear at this stage. However, DSS expects the Distribution to be treated as a taxable non-liquidating distribution to its stockholders, As such, based on such treatment, each U.S. stockholder receiving Impact Shares in the Distribution should be treated as if such stockholder had received a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock received, which would result in (1) a taxable dividend to the extent of such stockholder’s pro rata share of Impact’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, (2) a reduction in such stockholder’s basis (but not below zero) in DSS Common Stock to the extent the amount received exceeds such stockholder’s share of earnings and profits and (3) a taxable gain to the extent the amount received exceeds the sum of the amount treated as a dividend and the stockholder’s basis in the DSS Common Stock. Any such gain would generally be a capital gain if the DSS Common Stock is held by such stockholder as a capital asset on the Distribution Date.

A U.S. stockholder also may be subject to information reporting with respect to the Distribution In addition, such stockholder may be subject to “backup withholding” on the Distribution, unless such stockholder provides proof of any applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and it may be refunded or credited against a U.S. stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is timely supplied to the IRS.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the Distribution.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

No consideration will be paid for the Impact Shares in the Distribution.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not intend, following the Distribution, to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in our business. Any credit agreements which we may enter into may restrict our ability to pay dividends. The payment of dividends in the future will be subject to the discretion of our Board and will depend, among other things, on our financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements, future prospects and any other factors our Board deems relevant. There can be no assurance that a payment of a dividend will occur in the future.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes, respectively, beginning on page F-1 below of this Prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Prospectus, particularly under the section titled “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Impact BioMedical Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on October 16, 2018 and established a fiscal year end of December 31st. The Company issued 9,000 shares to Global BioMedical Pte. Ltd., which was wholly–owned by Singapore eDevelopment Limited (“SeD Ltd”), a multinational public company, listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGXST”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception to September 30, 2020 the Company has met its cash needs by borrowing from related parties. In the absence of third-party capital funding, the Company intends to rely upon loans from related parties to meet our cash requirements over the next twelve months.

Although we feel we will be able to satisfy our cash requirements over the next twelve months, we also feel that we shall be required to seek additional financing in the future. Management plans to raise additional funds by obtaining governmental and non-governmental grants as well as offering securities for cash. Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings. Management can give no assurance that any governmental or non-governmental grant will be obtained by the Company despite the Company’s best efforts.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements currently contemplated by management or in place that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the business, financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures and/or capital resources.

Recent Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of September 30, 2020, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

CARES Act

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any adjustments to our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2020.

BUSINESS

Introduction

Currently, we are a holding company operating mainly through our majority owned subsidiary, Global BioLife, Inc., which was incorporated on April 14, 2017. The Company is committed to both funding research and developing intellectual property portfolio. We currently focus on research in three main areas: (i) development of a universal therapeutic drug platform; (ii) a new sugar substitute; and (iii) a multi-use fragrance.

Our Company

We have three wholly owned subsidiaries and six partially owned subsidiaries. We are the single largest and controlling shareholder of Global BioLife, with an effective ownership of 63.64%. The other shareholders of Global BioLife include Holista CollTech Limited (“Holista CollTech”) (the majority shareholder of Alset International Ltd. is also a significant shareholder in Holista CollTech) and an entity formed by the chief scientist overseeing Global BioLife’s projects.

We also have biomedical intellectual property, including intellectual property assigned to it by one of its shareholders. We are devoted to research in four main areas: (i) the “Linebacker” project, which aims to develop a universal therapeutic drug platform; (ii) a new sugar substitute called “Laetose,”; (iii) a multi-use fragrance called “3F” (Functional Fragrance Formulation); and (iv) Equivir/Nemovir, a blend of natural polyphenols designed as an antimicrobial medication.

Linebacker

“Linebacker,” has demonstrated promising results in treating a range of diseases including neurological, anti-microbial, anti-viral and oncology diseases. Unlike the traditional approach to treat individual diseases with specific drugs, the Linebacker platform seeks to offer a breakthrough therapeutic option for multiple diseases. Linebacker is designed to work by inhibiting a cascade of inflammatory responses responsible for many diseases. Its design is in direct contrast to the traditional approach of targeting individual diseases with specific drugs. Charles River Laboratories International, Inc., an independent company that provides services to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, government agencies and leading academic institutions around the globe, has performed the studies needed for Global BioLife Linebacker research and drug development efforts.

Laetose

We have also developed a low-calorie, low glycemic level, natural modified sugar through Global BioLife. The product, “Laetose,” is a functional sugar with a calorie count 30% to 50% lower than regular sugar. Laetose is designed to possess low glycemic properties and mitigate inflammation. This product is at the commercialization stage. The company is presently seeking to license Laetose. Global BioLife established a joint venture, Sweet Sense, Inc. (“Sweet Sense”), with Quality Ingredients, LLC for the development, manufacture, and global distribution of the new sugar substitute. On November 8, 2019, the Company purchased 50% of Sweet Sense Inc. from Quality Ingredients, LLC for $91,000. Sweet Sense is now an 81.8% owned subsidiary of the Impact BioMedical.

Functional Fragrance Formulation (“3F”)

Global BioLife, has established a collaboration with U.S.-based Chemia Corporation to develop specialized fragrances to counter mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika and Dengue, among other medical applications. The 3F mosquito fragrance product, which is made from specialized oils sourced from botanicals that mosquitos avoid, has shown promising results in repelling mosquitos in laboratory testing. Global BioLife is seeking to commercialize this product. Together with Chemia, we are attempting to license 3F. Any potential profits from the 3F project will be split between Global BioLife and Chemia pursuant to the terms of the Royalty Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2018, by and between Global BioLife and Chemia Corporation, and the Addendum thereto, dated as of November 27, 2018 and Amendment No. 1 to Royalty Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2019.

Equivir

Equivir was created for use in biological emergencies. Equivir is a patented medication, and our research has indicated that it has broad antiviral efficacy against multiple types of infectious disease. The ability of Equivir to inhibit viruses makes it a promising candidate.

Property

We do not have offices, and at the present time, office space is provided to the us by DSS at no costs

Commercialization Business Strategies

Our business model revolves mainly around two approaches – Licensing and Sales Distribution.

1. Licensing

2. Sales Distribution

Table of Contents

Employees

We have two employees focused primarily on the development and marketing of existing technologies as well as identifying new opportunities. Certain services are provided to us and our subsidiaries by DSS as well as by GRDG, a related party, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 2020. At the present time, Global BioLife pays GRDG $35,000 per month for services provided by GRDG.

Future Product Research Pipeline

Cannabinoid Research

Competition

The biohealth business is highly competitive. Existing and future competitors may introduce products and services in the same markets we serve, and competing products or services may have better performance, lower prices, better functionality and broader acceptance than our products. This competition could result in increased sales and marketing expenses, thereby materially reducing our operating margins, and could harm our ability to increase, or cause us to lose, market share.

Most, if not all, of our current and potential competitors may have significantly greater resources or better competitive positions in certain product segments, geographic regions or user demographics than we do. These factors may allow our competitors to respond more effectively than us to new or emerging technologies and changes in market conditions.

Table of Contents

Our competitors may develop products, features or services that are similar to its own or that achieve greater acceptance, may undertake more far-reaching and successful product development efforts or marketing campaigns, or may adopt more aggressive pricing policies. Certain competitors could use strong or dominant positions in one or more markets to gain competitive advantage us in its target market or markets. As a result, our competitors may acquire and engage customers or generate revenue at the expense of our own efforts.

Regulation of the Biohealth Business

In the United States, the drug, device and cosmetic industries have long been subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies, primarily as to product safety, efficacy, manufacturing, advertising, labeling and safety reporting. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has broad regulatory powers. Extensive testing and documentation is required for FDA approval of new drugs and devices, increasing the expense of product introduction. Significant expenses are also evident in major markets outside of the United States.

The costs of human health care have been and continue to be a subject of study, investigation and regulation by governmental agencies and legislative bodies around the world. In the United States, attention has been focused on drug prices and profits and programs that encourage doctors to write prescriptions for particular drugs, or to recommend, use or purchase particular medical devices. The regulatory agencies under whose purview Impact BioMedical may operate in the future have administrative powers that may subject partners to whom Impact BioMedical licenses products to actions such as product withdrawals, recalls, seizure of products and other civil and criminal sanctions.

In addition, business practices in the health care industry have come under increased scrutiny, particularly in the United States, by government agencies and state attorneys general, and resulting investigations and prosecutions carry the risk of significant civil and criminal penalties.

Partners to whom we license products in the future may need to rely on global supply chains, and production and distribution processes, that are complex, subject to increasing regulatory requirements, and may be faced with unexpected changes that may affect sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in products which we have or will develop. These processes also are subject to lengthy regulatory approvals.

Share Exchange Transaction

On August 21, 2020, we closed on a Share Exchange Agreement by and among DSS, DSS BioHealth Security, Inc. (“DSS BioHealth”), Alset International Ltd. (formerly Singapore eDevelopment Ltd.), and Global Biomedical Pte Ltd. (“GBM”), pursuant to which we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS BioHealth. Shortly after closing, Frank D. Heuszel, Jason Grady and John Thatch were appointed directors, and Mr. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan remained on the Board of Directors and appointed Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Heuszel was appointed President, Mr. Grady was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Todd Macko was appointed Secretary and Treasurer, replacing the officers and directors who resigned in connection with the share exchange.

Mr. Chan is the Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder of Alset International Ltd., as well as the Chairman of the Board and largest shareholder of the DSS.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 21, 2020, DSS completed its acquisition of the Company, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement by and among DSS, DSS BioHealth, Alset International Ltd. (formerly Singapore eDevelopment Ltd.), and Global Biomedical Pte Ltd. (“GBM”) (the “Share Exchange”).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

Impact BioMedical Inc (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on October 16, 2018 and established a fiscal year end of December 31st. The Company issued 9,000 shares to Global BioMedical Pte. Ltd., which was wholly–owned by Alset International Limited (formally Singapore eDevelopment Limited), a multinational public company, listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGXST”). On March 31, 2020 the Company issued 125,064,621 shares of common stock to its sole shareholder Global BioMedical Pte. Ltd. On July 24, 2020, the Board approved the Stock Split, pursuant to which each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding was split into nine shares of the Company’s common stock. The numbers of authorized common stock and issued and outstanding common stock in the reporting periods were retrospectively adjusted for the stock split.

On March 12, 2020 Alset International Limited (“Alset”), Global BioMedical Pte Ltd., Document Security Systems, Inc (“DSS”) and DSS BioHealth Security Inc. (“DSS BioHealth”) signed Term Sheets and subsequently on April 21, 2020, these four companies entered into Share Exchange Agreement, based on which Global BioMedical Pte Ltd. agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company to DSS BioHealth in exchange for the combination of common and preferred shares of DSS. The Company’s Chairman, who is also the largest shareholder of Alset, at the time of the signing of the Share Exchange Agreement was the beneficial owner of approximately 18.3% of the outstanding shares of DSS and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of DSS. On August 21, 2020, the transaction was concluded and the Company became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DSS BioHealth.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results.

The results for the consolidated statement of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim period. The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 has been derived from unaudited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited report filed with the SEC via the Form 8K/A on June 8, 2020 by Document Security Systems, Inc.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements.

(“DSS BioHealth”) signed Term Sheets and subsequently on April 27, 2020, these four companies entered into Share Exchange Agreement, based on which Global BioMedical Pte Ltd. agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company to DSS BioHealth in exchange for the combination of common and preferred shares of DSS. The closing of this transaction was contingent upon DSS shareholders’ approval and all parties meeting the conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company’s Chairman, who is also the largest shareholder of Alset, at the time of the signing of the Share Exchange Agreement was the beneficial owner of approximately 18.3% of the outstanding shares of DSS and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of DSS. On August 21, 2020, the transaction was closed and the Company became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DSS BioHealth.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policy

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods ended September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

IMPACT Biomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On July 28, 2020, the Board approved the Stock Split, pursuant to which each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding was split into nine shares of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average numbers of outstanding common stocks in the reporting periods were retrospectively adjusted for the stock split as 125,073,621 and 9,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Investment in Securities Under Equity Method Accounting

BioLife Sugar, Inc. (“BioLife”), a subsidiary consolidated under the Company, entered into a joint venture agreement on April 25, 2018 with Quality Ingredients, LLC (“QI”). The agreement created Sweet Sense which is 50% owned by BioLife and 50% owned by QI. Management believes its 50% investment represents significant influence over Sweet Sense and accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2018, BioLife contributed $55,000 to the joint venture and recorded its proportionate share losses totaling $49,687 recorded as loss on investment in security by equity method in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of November 8, 2019, the total investment in joint venture was equal to $91,000 and the proportionate losses totaled $90,00 from the inception of the joint venture.

On November 8, 2019, the Company purchased 50% of Sweet Sense from QI for $91,000. Consequently, Sweet Sense is now an 81.8% owned subsidiary of the Company, and therefore, is now consolidated into the consolidated financial statements.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $341,546 and $260,671 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

Item 17.

Undertakings.

	(a)	(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

	(2)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(3)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

	(4)	The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

	(i)	Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

	(ii)	Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

	(iii)	The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

	(iv)	Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Table of Contents

	(b)	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

	(c)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

	(1)	For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

	(2)	For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
