State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”). For the reasons described below, which cannot be eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort or expense, the Company has determined that it is unable to file the Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within the prescribed time period.

As previously disclosed, on May 11, 2021, each of the Company and its US Compounding Inc. (“USC”) subsidiary received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York issued in connection with a criminal investigation, requesting a broad range of documents and materials relating to, among other matters, certain veterinary products sold by USC, certain practices, agreements and arrangements relating to products sold by USC, including veterinary products, and certain regulatory and other matters relating to the Company and USC. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has engaged outside counsel to conduct an independent internal investigation to review these and other matters. The internal investigation is ongoing and the Company cannot predict its duration or outcome. The independent investigation includes matters that could, depending on the outcome of the investigation, affect the Company’s financial statements to be included in the Form 10-Q and other disclosures in the Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will not be able, without unreasonable effort or expense, to timely file the Form 10-Q by the deadline prescribed by applicable securities laws. The Company is working diligently towards the goal of being in a position to file the Form 10-Q, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, and any other required prior reports, with the SEC, but at this time cannot predict with certainty when the preparation and filing of those reports will be completed. However, the Company is committed to completing the Audit Committee investigation, addressing any issues identified, and re-establishing timely financial reporting as soon as practicable. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. At this time, the Company is unable to determine what, if any, proceedings the U.S. Attorney’s Office or other federal or state authorities may initiate, what, if any, remedies or remedial measures the U.S. Attorney’s Office or other federal or state authorities may seek, or what, if any, impact the foregoing matters may have on the Company’s business, previously reported financial results, financial results for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, or future financial results. The foregoing matters may divert management’s attention, cause the Company to suffer reputational harm, require the Company to devote significant financial resources, subject the Company and its officers and directors to civil or criminal proceedings, and depending on the resolution of the matters, result in fines, penalties, equitable remedies, and affect the Company’s business, previously reported financial results, financial results for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, or future financial results. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This filing contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words such as “expects,” “will,” “anticipates,” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our beliefs and expectations relating to the duration or outcome of the internal investigation described above, actions by federal or state authorities or third parties regarding the matters described above, and the completion of matters necessary to permit the filing of the Form 10-Q, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, and any other required prior reports, with the SEC. There can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

PART IV – OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification.

Dennis J. Carlo	(858) 997-2400
(Name)	(Area Code and Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

☐ Yes       ☒  No

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021.  

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

☒ Yes       ☐ No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company currently anticipates that the Form 10-Q will not reflect a significant change in net revenue, and will reflect an increase in gross profit, a decrease in loss from operations, a decrease in the expense relating to change in fair value of warrants and total other income (expense), net, and a decrease in net loss, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the comparable period of 2020. However, the Company is unable to determine whether the investigation and other matters described in Part III above will have an impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial information relating to the periods included in the Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company is unable to provide an accurate quantitative estimate of its results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021.
