Pipeline Priorities 8

9 ▶ Recent research from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) has identified Tempol as a potentially potent antiviral for COVID - 19 . According to a study of cell cultures conducted by NIH researchers, Tempol demonstrated an ability to limit SARS - CoV - 2 infection by impairing the activity of a viral enzyme known as RNA replicase . The NIH researchers also found that Tempol “doses used in their antiviral studies could be likely achieved in tissues that are the primary targets for the virus . ” ( 1 ) ▶ Our Phase 2 / 3 clinical trial start - up activities are underway for examining the effects of Tempol in the treatment of COVID - 19 . Commenced activities include site identification and initiation, database production, vendor management, and the establishment of an independent data safety monitoring board of infectious disease experts, which will review the safety and efficacy of the trial . Clinical trial drug product and placebo have also been obtained . ▶ We have formed a highly - qualified Data Safety Monitoring Board (“DSMB”) for our Phase 2 / 3 trial . The clinical members of the DSMB include Dr . Michael Ison (Professor, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine), Dr . Shmuel Shoham (Associate Professor, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine), Dr . Cameron Wolfe (Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine) and Dr . Roy Steigbigel (Professor at Stony Brook School of Medicine) . ▶ We plan to begin enrolling patients in our Phase 2 / 3 clinical trial for Tempol in the third quarter . Following the trial start - up activities, recent discussions with our clinical research organization partner suggest that patient enrollment will begin by the middle of Q 3 2021 .

( 1 ) • The Board and management are in the process of evaluating how Adamis will engage with the government about potentially participating in any federally - funded initiatives or programs • Given that Tempol has distinct potential to serve as an antiviral and anti - inflammatory, we believe Adamis can make a compelling case to participate in public - private activities to explore treatments for COVID - 19 (1) Source: CNN, June 18, 2021

11  ZIMHI™ is a high - dosage naloxone injection intended for the rapid reversal of opioid overdose • The opioid crisis has been perpetuated by the pandemic, with the highest one - year overdose deaths ( 81 , 000 ) recorded in May 2020 ( 2 ) • Over the last five years, annual naloxone sales rose from $ 44 mm to $ 330 mm ( 3 ) and units sold grew 28 % YoY  Increased awareness and limited competition create tailwinds for ZIMHI™ • New consumer - oriented products and awareness of the opioid crisis have created an emerging retail market • FDA now recommends that physicians co - prescribe naloxone with opioids • Intramuscular injection ( Evzio ®) was discontinued and remaining approved product (Narcan®) is intranasal and lower dosage, which may be sub - optimal due to the increasing strength of synthetic opioids ( 4 )  The FDA has accepted our NDA for review and provided a target action date in November 2021 5mg Dose (IM Injection) (1) Source: Centers for Disease Control ( Link ) (2) Source: Centers for Disease Control (3) Source: Bloomberg Intelligence (4) Source: Moss RB, et. al.

12  SYMJEPI® is used to treat severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) • FDA - approved injection device is smaller than the most widely - used epinephrine auto - injector devices, making it ideal for on - the - go • With an estimated 50 million individuals ( 1 ) in the U . S . with allergies, the U . S . epinephrine market is estimated to be $ 1 . 5 billion ( 2 )  Our commercial partner has made significant progress in the U . S . epinephrine market in the first half of 2021 • In January, both approved SYMJEPI ® doses became available through the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club at a discounted price of $ 99 . 99 per two - pack • Based on third - party data, we believe unit sales have increased approximately 90 % on a year - over - year basis for the period beginning December 2020 and ending April 2021  We expect the Walgreens arrangement, along with other commercial initiatives currently underway, to continue fueling positive sales trends for SYMJEPI® products High dose for individuals 66 lbs. or more Low dose for individuals 33 - 66 lbs.
