AIM
IMMUNOTECH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1: Business and Basis of Presentation
AIM
ImmunoTech Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “AIM” or the “Company” is an immuno-pharma company headquartered
in Ocala, Florida, and focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat multiple types of cancers, viral diseases and
immune-deficiency disorders and to treat cancers for which there are currently inadequate or unmet therapies. It has established a strong
foundation of laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical data with respect to the development of nucleic acids and natural interferon to enhance
the natural antiviral defense system of the human body, and to aid the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of certain
cancers and chronic diseases.
AIM’s
flagship products are Ampligen (rintatolimod) and Alferon N Injection (Interferon alfa). Ampligen is a double-stranded RNA (“dsRNA”)
molecule being developed for globally important cancers, viral diseases and disorders of the immune system. Ampligen has not been approved
by the FDA or marketed in the United States but is approved for commercial sale in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”).
The
Company is currently proceeding primarily in five areas:
● Conducting
clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ampligen for the treatment of pancreatic
cancer.
● Evaluating
Ampligen across multiple cancers as a potential therapy that modifies the tumor microenvironment
with the goal of increasing anti-tumor responses to checkpoint inhibitors.
● Exploring
Ampligen’s antiviral activities and potential use as a prophylactic or treatment for
existing viruses, new viruses and mutated viruses thereof.
● Evaluating
Ampligen as a treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (“ME/CFS”)
and fatigue and/or the Post-COVID condition of fatigue.
● Evaluating
Ampligen as a vaccine adjuvant in the combination of Ampligen and AstraZeneca’s FluMist
as an intranasal vaccine for influenza, including avian influenza.
The
Company is prioritizing activities in an order related to the stage of development, with those clinical activities such as pancreatic
cancer, having priority over other experimentation. The Company intends that priority clinical work be conducted in trials authorized
by the FDA or European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), which trials support a potential future New Drug Application (“NDA”).
In
management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial statements have been included.
Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The
interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
and do not contain certain information which will be included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.
These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024,
filed on March 27, 2025.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure (“GAAP”)
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences may be material. Accounts requiring the use
of significant estimates include determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities, valuation of deferred taxes, patent
and trademark valuations, stock-based compensation calculations, fair value of warrants, and contingency accruals.
6
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements
are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether
there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration
the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company
as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates the substantial doubt. The mitigating
effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will
mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The
Company’s principal source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and proceeds from financing activities
to provide the necessary funding to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company incurred losses from operations and net cash
used on operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and has a working
capital deficit as of December 31, 2024 and as of September 30, 2025. Additionally, its stockholders’ equity was below the minimum
requirements for continued listing on the New York Stock Exchange American (“the Exchange”). These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance
of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management evaluated the conditions and the significance in relation
to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and noted that all outstanding debt is current as of September 30, 2025. If the
Company is unable to implement sufficient mitigation efforts, it may need to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as
a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
During the third quarter of 2025,
an agreement was reached with a vendor surrounding legal fees. The agreement provided that $ 3,041,000 of previously billed fees would
be forgiven in exchange for payments totaling $ 1,875,000 . The reduction was included as “other income” and accounts payable
was reduced.
On
December 11, 2024, the Company received an official notice of noncompliance with the Exchange’s continued listing requirements.
This includes the need for the Company to have stockholders’ equity of $ 6,000,000
or more. The Exchange’s review showed that the Company
was not in compliance with that requirement. As required, the Company submitted a plan (the “Plan”) to the Exchange illustrating
how it can regain compliance by June 11, 2026. The Exchange accepted the Plan on February 26, 2025. If the Company is not able to regain
compliance by June 11, 2026, its common stock may be delisted from the Exchange. As of September 30, 2025, its stockholders’ deficit
was approximately ($ 6,077,000 ).
It must increase its stockholders’ equity to be at least $ 6,000,000 to regain compliance with this rule. If it is not able to raise
sufficient capital as set forth in the Plan or by other means, it may be unable to regain compliance with the Exchange’s listing
standards and its securities could be subject to delisting. In addition, in the event that the price of the common stock drops to $ 0.10
per share, trading in the common stock will automatically be
suspended and the common stock would be subject to delisting. The price dropped below $ 0.10
and on April 4, 2025, the Company received a delisting letter
from the Exchange and trading in its common stock on the Exchange was suspended.
On April 30, 2025, the Company
held a special meeting of stockholders and authorized the Company’s Board of Directors to effect a reverse split at its discretion
on a basis of up to one for 100 outstanding shares of Common Stock. On May 29, 2025, the Board authorized the Reverse Split and on June
10, 2025, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation effecting a reverse split of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock on a one for 100 basis (the “Reverse Split”). Stockholders were given cash in lieu of any fractional shares on a post-split
basis.
On June 11, 2025,
the Company was notified by the Exchange that the Company had regained compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Exchange’s Company
Guide (low selling price) and that trading in the Company’s Common Stock was reinstated on the Exchange on June 17, 2025
Note
2 : Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented
all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements
unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued
that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. Accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB since
filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 did not or are not believed by management to have a material
impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
Note 3: Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
includes bank deposits maintained at several financial institutions. The Company considers highly liquid instruments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At various times throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2025, some accounts
held at financial institutions were in excess of the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced any losses
on these accounts and believes credit risk to be minimal.
7
Note
4: Marketable Securities
Marketable
securities consist of mutual funds. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, it was determined that none of the marketable securities
had an other-than-temporary impairment. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, all securities were measured as Level 1 instruments
of the fair value measurements standard (See Note 5: Fair Value). At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company held $ 62,000
and $ 2,276,000 respectively, in mutual funds.
Mutual
Funds classified as available for sale consisted of $ 62,000
at September 30, 2025. The net losses recognized for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2025 on equity securities was ($ 1,000 ) . The net gains recognized for the three-month period ended September
30, 2025 on equity securities sold during the period were $ 11,000 . The unrealized losses recognized for the three-month period ended

5: Fair Value Measurements
Fair
Value
The
Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” for its financial and non-financial assets
and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset
and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
The
fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to
the short-term maturities of these items and are considered a Level 1 instrument of the fair value measurements standard. The Company
also has certain warrants with a cash settlement feature in the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction. The fair value of the Class
A and Class B warrants (“June 2024 Warrants”) related to the Company’s June 2024 common stock and warrant issuance,
are calculated using a Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the Class C and Class D warrants (“October 2024 Warrants”)
related to the Company’s October 2024 common stock and warrant issuance, are calculated using a Black-Scholes model. The fair value
of the Class E and Class F warrants (“August 2025 Warrants”) related to the Company’s August 2025 common stock and
warrant issuance, are calculated using a Black-Scholes model.
The
Company also had certain redeemable warrants in the Rights Offering with a cash settlement feature in the occurrence of a Fundamental
Transaction. No Fundamental Transaction occurred. In March 2024, 2,050 of these warrants converted on a cashless basis and the remaining
58,300 expired.
The
Company estimated the fair value of the June 2024 Warrants, October 2024 Warrants and August 2025 Warrants using the Black-Scholes Model,
which uses multiple inputs including the Company’s stock price, the exercise price of the warrant, volatility of the Company’s
stock price, the risk-free interest rate and the expected term of the warrants.

The
significant assumptions using the Black-Scholes model approach for valuation of the Warrants are:
(i)
Risk-Free Interest Rate . The risk-free interest rates
for the Warrants are based on U.S. Treasury constant maturities for periods commensurate with the remaining expected holding periods
of the warrants.
(ii)
Expected Holding Period . The expected holding period
represents the period of time that the Warrants are expected to be outstanding until they are exercised. The Company utilizes the remaining
contractual term of the Warrants at each valuation date as the expected holding period.
(iii)
Expected Volatility . Expected stock volatility is based
on daily observations of the Company’s historical stock values for a period commensurate with the remaining expected holding period
on the last day of the period for which the computation is made.
(iv)
Expected Dividend Yield . The expected dividend yield
is based on the Company’s anticipated dividend payments over the remaining expected holding period. As the Company has never issued
dividends, the expected dividend yield is 0 % and this assumption will be continued in future calculations unless the Company changes
its dividend policy.
(v)
Expected Probability of a Fundamental Transaction. Put
rights arise if a Fundamental Transaction 1) is an all cash transaction; (2) results in the Company going private; or (3) is a transaction
involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange. The Company believes such an occurrence is unlikely because:
1. The
Company only has one product that is FDA approved but is currently not available for commercial
sales.
2. The
Company will have to perform additional clinical trials for FDA approval of its flagship
product.
3. Industry
and market conditions continue to include uncertainty, adding risk to any transaction.
4. The
nature of a life sciences company is heavily dependent on future funding and high fixed costs,
including Research & Development.
5. The
Company has minimal revenues streams which are insufficient to meet the funding needs for
the cost of operations or construction at their manufacturing facility; and
6. The
Company’s Rights Agreement and Executive Agreements make it less attractive to a potential
buyer.
While
the assumptions remain consistent from period to period (e.g., utilizing historical stock prices), the actual historical prices input
for the relevant period input change.
10
The
Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the
extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. AIM categorizes each of its fair value measurements
in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These
levels are:
1. Level
1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
at the reporting date. Generally, this includes debt and equity securities that are traded
in an active market.
2. Level
2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quote prices for similar assets
or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets
or liabilities. Generally, this includes debt and equity securities that are not traded in
an active market.
3. Level
3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that
are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities
include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted
cash flow methodologies, or other valuation techniques, as well as instruments for which
the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. As
of September 30, 2024, the Company has classified the warrants with cash settlement features
as Level 3. Management evaluates a variety of inputs and then estimates fair value based
on those inputs. As discussed above, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes model in valuing
the warrants.

The
fair value of each option and equity warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation
model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate
is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option and equity warrant. The Company uses historical
data to estimate expected dividend yield, expected life and forfeiture rates.

Note
14: Stock warrants
On
July 30, 2025, the Company announced closing a public offering of an aggregate of 2,000,000
shares of its common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof), Class E warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000
shares of common stock, and Class F warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000
shares of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $ 4.00
per share (or $ 3.999
per pre-funded warrant) and accompanying warrants. The warrants will have an exercise price of $ 4.00
per share, and were exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Class E warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original
issuance date, and the Class F warrants will expire on the eighteen-month anniversary of the original issuance date. Gross proceeds,
before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, were approximately $ 8,000,000 . Maxim Group LLC acted as sole placement agent in connection with this offering.
Based on a
review of the Class E and F warrants, it was determined that the warrants met the liability criteria as described in Accounting Standards
Codification 480. Accordingly, as the warrants might require the Company to issue additional stock under certain circumstances, a loss was recognized and the resulting computed value was classified as a liability on the
Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2025.

the Company’s Supplemental Listing Application. The Company created successive new plans following the expiration of the July 7,
2020 plan. Recently, the procedure for purchases under the plan changed. Now, any time an officer or employee purchases stock from the
Company under the plan, that person must file a SLAP with the Exchange and the purchase cannot be effected until the Exchange
accepts the SLAP.

Warrants
(Rights offering)
On

of (i) 17,405 shares of common stock; (ii) pre-funded warrants exercisable for 71,483 shares of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”),
and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 88,888 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). In conjunction with
the Offering, we issued a Representative’s Warrant
to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,666 shares of common stock (the “Representative’s Warrant”) .
The shares of common stock and Warrants were sold at a combined Offering price of $ 0.90 , less underwriting discounts and commissions.
Each Warrant sold with the shares of common stock represents the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$ 0.99 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants were sold at a combined Offering price of $ 0.899 , less underwriting discounts and
commissions. The Pre-Funded Warrants were sold to purchasers whose purchase of shares of common stock in the Offering would otherwise
result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99 % of the Company’s
outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering, in lieu of shares of common stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant
represents the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable
immediately and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A registration statement on Form S-1,
relating to the Offering was filed with the SEC and was declared effective on September 25, 2019, the net proceeds were approximately
$ 7,200,000 . During the year ended December 31 , 2020, 18,700 of the Pre-funded Warrants were
exercised and 88,739 Warrants were exercised. In addition, on March 25, 2020, the Representative’s Warrant was amended to
permit exercise of such warrant to commence on March 30, 2020. These warrants were exercised on March 31, 2020 and an aggregate of 2,666
shares were issued upon exercise of this warrant for gross proceeds of approximately $ 264,000 and a $ 46,000 expense for the warrant modification.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 2,050 warrants were exercised, and 58,300 warrants expired unexercised. As of September 30,
2024, and December 31, 2024, there were no warrants outstanding related to the Rights Offering.
Equity
Distribution Agreement
On
April 19, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA”), with Maxim, pursuant to which they
may sell from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 8,500,000 through Maxim, as agent.
The amount was subsequently reduced from $ 8,500,000 to $ 3,100,000 . Sales under the EDA were registered under the S-3 Shelf Registration
Statement. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, Maxim is entitled to a transaction fee at a fixed rate of 3.0 % of the gross
sales price of shares sold under the EDA. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the company sold 13,956 shares under the EDA for total
gross proceeds of approximately $ 649,916 , which includes a 3.0 % fee to Maxim of $ 19,497 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
the Company has sold 11,191 shares under the EDA for total gross proceeds of approximately $ 259,800 , which includes a 3.0 % fee to Maxim
of approximately $ 7,800 .
On
April 1, 2025, the Company entered into a new EDA, a sales agreement, with Maxim pursuant to which it may issue and sell up to an aggregate
of $ 3,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time
through Maxim acting as agent. Under the terms of the sales agreement in no event will the Company, inter alia, issue or sell through
the sales agreement such number or dollar amount of shares of common stock that would exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of
common stock permitted to be sold under Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 thereof, if applicable). Subsequent to September
30, 2025, the Company has sold 24,680
shares under the new EDA for a total gross proceeds of approximately
$ 38,233 ,
which includes a 3.0 %
fee to Maxim of approximately $ 1,147 .
The
Company will pay Maxim in cash, upon each sale of the common stock pursuant to the sales agreement, a commission in an amount equal to
3.0 % of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of common stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition
to this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to the Company, if any, are not determinable at this
time. The Company has agreed, under certain circumstances, to reimburse a portion of Maxim’s expenses, including legal fees up
to a maximum of $ 50,000 , and $ 5,000 on a quarterly basis thereafter.
The
shares under the sales agreement will only be offered after a prospectus related to such offering is filed with the SEC. If and when
the shares are offered, they will be offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286319), which was
declared effective on July 3, 2025.
Equity
Purchase Agreement
On
March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement with Atlas Sciences, LLC (“Atlas”),
pursuant to which Atlas committed to purchase up to $ 15,000,000 of common stock of the Company for a period of 24 months from the date
of the purchase agreement. No assurance can be given as to the actual amount that will be raised pursuant to the purchase agreement.
20
Under
the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to issue Put shares to the Investor at
95 % of the Market Price of the shares on the day of trade. Sales under the purchase agreement are limited to a daily maximum of the lessor
of: $ 500,000 , the Median Daily Trading volume, and a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99 % and a maximum of 19.99 % of the outstanding
shares at the time of the purchase agreement. In April 2024, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-1 registering
a total of 99,750 shares for resale pursuant to the Atlas Agreements, consisting of 96,364 shares that can be sold by the Company to
Atlas and 3,386 shares that were issued to Atlas as Commitment Shares. The registration statement was declared effective on May 1, 2024.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a total of 7,596 shares have been issued pursuant to the purchase agreement for a total of
approximately $ 128,000 after clearing costs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a total of 30,829 shares have been issued pursuant
to the purchase agreement for a total of approximately $ 398,000 after clearing costs. There were no shares issued subsequent to September

Securities
Purchase Agreements
May
2024 Securities Purchase Agreement
On
May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to complete an offering
(the “Transactions”) with a single accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which, on June 3, 2024,
the Company issued to the Purchaser, (i) in a registered direct offering, 56,410 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”),
par value $ 0.001 per share (“common stock”) and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to the Purchaser
Class A common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 56,410 shares of its common stock (the “A Warrants”) at an exercise
price of $ 36.30 per share and Class B common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 56,410 shares of its common stock (the “B
“Warrants” and, along with the A Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) at an exercise price of $ 36.30 per share. The
A Warrants and B Warrants are not exercisable for six months after the issuance date and expire, respectively, five years and six months
and twenty-four months after the issuance date. The Common Warrants and the shares of common stock are issuable upon the exercise of
such warrants are offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
The
Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262280), which was declared effective
on February 4, 2022.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company could not issue any equity securities for 60 days
following the issuance date, provided that the Company was able to utilize its at-the-market offering program with the Placement Agent
after 30 days. Additionally, the Company cannot enter into a variable rate transaction (other than the ATM program with the Placement
Agent) for 120 days after the issuance date. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and each of the Company’s directors
have entered into lock-up agreements with the Company pursuant to which each of them has agreed not to, for a period of 90 days from
the closing of the Transactions, offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities, subject to certain exceptions.
The
exercise price of the Common Warrants, and the number of Common Warrant Shares, are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend
or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Common Warrants. If a Fundamental
Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrants) occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company,
and may exercise every right and power that the Company may exercise and will assume all of its obligations under the Common Warrants
with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. Common Warrant Holders will have additional rights
defined in the Common Warrants. The Common Warrants are exercisable on a “cashless” basis only if there is not a current
registration statement permitting public resale. In this regard, the Company filed a registration statement to register the resale of
the Common Warrant Shares providing for the resale of the Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants. That registration
statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 11, 2024. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such registration statement to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
Maxim
Group LLC acted as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on a “commercially reasonable best efforts” basis,
in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, dated May 31, 2024 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”),
by and between the Company and the Placement Agent. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent was paid a cash fee
of 8 % of the aggregate gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities sold in the Transactions and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket
expenses.
21
The
Company evaluated the Common Warrants under the guidance of ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that
they were in scope under the guidance as freestanding financial instruments but did not meet the criteria for liability classification
and are classified as equity within the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds allocated to such warrants totaled approximately
$ 2,500,000 . For the nine months ended September 30,2025, no Common Warrants were exercised, and all remain outstanding on September
30, 2025, related to this agreement.
September
2024 Securities Purchase Agreement
On
September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder as Purchaser, pursuant to which we issued
to the Selling Stockholder, (i) in a registered direct offering, 46,530 shares of our common stock (“Shares”) and (ii) in
the concurrent Private Placement, Class C and Class D Warrants, each to purchase an aggregate of up to 46,530 Shares (the “Common
Warrant Shares”) each with an exercise price of $ 28.00 . The Class C and Class D Warrants together, hereinafter the “Common
Warrants”. The purchase price for Shares in the registered direct offering was $ 28.00 per Share.
The
Company received aggregate gross proceeds from the Transactions of approximately $ 1,260,000 , before deducting fees to the Placement
Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262280), which was declared effective on February 4, 2022. The Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares
issued in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act. Rather the Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares
were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated
thereunder. The Class C Warrants and the Class D Warrants are not exercisable until December 3, 2024, and will expire, respectively,
twenty-four months and five years and six months after that date.
The
Company evaluated the Common Warrants under the guidance of ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that
they were in scope under the guidance as freestanding financial instruments but did not meet the criteria for liability classification
and are classified as equity within the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds allocated to such warrants totaled approximately
$ 2,500,000 . For the nine months ended September 30,2025, no Common Warrants were exercised, and all remain outstanding on September
30, 2025, related to this agreement.
Note
16: Net Loss Per Share
Basic
and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Equivalent common shares, consisting of stock options and warrants which amounted to 4,238,792
and 145,745
shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share since their effect is anti-dilutive.
Note
17: Subsequent Events
On November 5, 2025, the
Company entered into agreements with Streeterville Capital to settle a portion of its outstanding loan obligation in the amount of $ 150,000
through the issuance of 74,626 shares of common stock, rather than cash payment.
On July 3, 2025, the Company’s
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286319) was declared effective by the SEC. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, on
October 30, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus with the SEC to enable it to sell shares under this shelf registration statement. Please
see Note 15: Stockholders’ Equity; (2) (b) Common Stock and Equity Finances; Equity Distribution Agreement, above. Additionally,
subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company has sold 24,680 shares under the new EDA for a total gross proceeds of approximately $ 38,233 ,
which includes a 3.0 % fee to Maxim of approximately $ 1,147 .

Overview
General
AIM
ImmunoTech Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “AIM”, “Company”, “we” or “us”) are
an immuno-pharma company headquartered in Ocala, Florida, and focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat multiple
types of cancers, viral diseases and immune-deficiency disorders for which there are inadequate or unmet therapies. We have established
a strong foundation of laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical data with respect to the development of nucleic acids and natural interferon
to enhance the natural antiviral defense system of the human body, and to aid the development of therapeutic products for the treatment
of certain cancers and chronic diseases.
AIM’s
products are Ampligen (rintatolimod) and Alferon N Injection (Interferon alfa). The Company’s flagship product –Ampligen
– is a double-stranded RNA (“dsRNA”) molecule being developed for globally important cancers, viral diseases and disorders
of the immune system. Ampligen has not been approved by the FDA or marketed in the United States but is approved for commercial sale
in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”).
The
Company is currently proceeding primarily in five areas:
● Conducting
clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ampligen for the treatment of pancreatic
cancer.
● Evaluating
Ampligen across multiple cancers as a potential therapy that modifies the tumor microenvironment
with the goal of increasing anti-tumor responses to checkpoint inhibitors.
● Exploring
Ampligen’s antiviral activities and potential use as a prophylactic or treatment for
existing viruses, new viruses and mutated viruses thereof.
● Evaluating
Ampligen as a treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (“ME/CFS”)
and fatigue and/or the Post-COVID condition of fatigue.
● Evaluating
Ampligen as a vaccine adjuvant in the combination of Ampligen and AstraZeneca’s FluMist
as an intranasal vaccine for influenza, including avian influenza.
We
are prioritizing activities in an order related to the stage of development, with those clinical activities such as pancreatic cancer
having priority over other experimentation. We intend that priority clinical work be conducted in trials authorized by the FDA or European
Medicines Agency (“EMA”), which trials support a potential future NDA.
Please
see “Immuno-Oncology” below.
Immuno-Oncology .
We
are focused on pancreatic cancer because testing results to date — primarily conducted in the Netherlands — have been very
promising. The Netherlands study generated statistically significant data indicating that Ampligen extended survival well beyond the
Standard of Care (“SOC”), when compared to well-matched historical controls. These data support the proposition that Ampligen,
when administered to either patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer after systemic chemotherapy, showed a statistically
significant increase in survival rate. In October 2021, we and our Contract Research Organization, Amarex, submitted an IND application
to the FDA for a planned Phase 2 study of Ampligen as a therapy for locally advanced or metastatic late-stage pancreatic cancer.
Ampligen
appears in clinic testing to have potential for standalone efficacy in a number of other solid tumors. We have also seen success in increasing
survival rates and efficacy in the treatment of animal tumors when Ampligen is used in combination with checkpoint blockade therapies.
In fact, in March 2022 we announced interim data from an investigator-initiated, Phase 2, single-arm, efficacy/safety trial to evaluate
the effectiveness of combining intensive locoregional intraperitoneal (IP) chemoimmunotherapy of cisplatin with IP Ampligen (TLR-3 agonist)
and IV infusion of the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab for patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. We believe that
data from the study, which is being conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and funded by a Merck grant, demonstrated
that when combining three drugs – Ampligen and pembrolizumab, which are both immune therapies, with cisplatin, a chemotherapy –
evidence of increased biomarkers associated with T cell chemotaxis and cytolytic function has been seen. Importantly, increases of these
biomarkers in the tumor microenvironment have been correlated with favorable tumor responses. These successes in the field of immuno-oncology
have guided our efforts toward the potential use of Ampligen as a combinational therapy for the treatment of a variety of solid tumor
types. The first of our patent applications in this space was granted by the Netherlands on March 15, 2021.
Please
see “ Immuno-Oncology ” below.
24
Ampligen
as a Potential Antiviral
We
have a research and pre-clinical history that indicates broad-spectrum antiviral capability of Ampligen in animals. We hope to demonstrate
that it has the same effect in humans. To do this, among other things, we need a population infected with a virus. That is why our most
recent antiviral focus has been on COVID-19 (the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2) and Long COVID. Previous animal studies yielded positive
results utilizing Ampligen to treat numerous viruses, such as Western Equine Encephalitis Virus, Ebola, Vaccinia Virus (which is used
in the manufacture of smallpox vaccine) and SARS-CoV-1. We have conducted experiments in SARS-CoV-2 showing Ampligen has a powerful impact
on viral replication. The prior studies of Ampligen in SARS-CoV-1 animal experimentation may predict similar protective effects against
SARS-CoV-2.
We
announced in February 2025 our intention to pursue a study of a potential avian influenza combination therapy of Ampligen and AstraZeneca’s
FluMist, a nasal spray vaccine that helps prevent seasonal influenza. The new proposed clinical trial would expand upon previous Company-sponsored
clinical research at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (“UAB”), which indicated that intranasal delivery of Ampligen after
the intranasal delivery of the FluMist seasonal influenza vaccine increased the immune response to seasonal variants in the vaccine by
greater than four-fold and induced cross-reactive secretory Immunoglobulin A against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus strains
H5N1, H7N9 and H7N3. We are seeking collaborative grants from government and industry to defray the cost of the study. We believe that
this pre-clinical and clinical work to date – combined with the ever-growing threat of Avian influenza – strongly supports
our decision to move forward with this second Ampligen and FluMist study in humans.
Please
see “ Ampligen as a Potential Antiviral ” below.
Ampligen
as a Treatment for Post-COVID Conditions
In
July 2023, we enrolled and dosed the first patient in our Phase 2 study evaluating Ampligen® as a potential therapeutic for people
with post-COVID conditions (“AMP-518”). We announced in August 2023 that the study had met the planned enrollment of 80 subjects
ages 18 to 60 years who have been randomized 1:1 to receive twice-weekly intravenous infusions of Ampligen or placebo for 12 weeks, with
a follow-up phase of two weeks. All patients have completed the study, with topline data reported in February 2024.
In January 2025, we announced
that the final Clinical Study results from AMP-518 had been posted to ClinicalTrials.gov. The results support our belief in Ampligen as
a potential therapeutic for people with the moderate-to-severe Post-COVID condition of fatigue, and that this would be the likely subject
population for any follow-up clinical trial.
Please
see “ Ampligen as a Treatment for Post-COVID Conditions ” below.
Ampligen
as a treatment for ME/CFS and Post-COVID Conditions
As
of September 30, 2025, there were 4 patients enrolled in this open-label expanded access treatment protocol (including one patient with
Post-COVID Conditions). AIM previously reported positive preliminary results based on data from the first four Post-COVID Condition patients
enrolled in the study. The data show that, by week 12, compared to baseline, there was what the investigators considered a clinically
significant decrease in fatigue-related measures and improvement in cognition. Eight such patients have been treated in the study to
date.
Please
see “ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) ” below.

OUR
PRODUCTS
Our
primary pharmaceutical product platform consists of Ampligen (rintatolimod), a first-in-class drug of large macromolecular double-stranded
(ds) RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules. Ampligen is the only known TLR3 agonist to avoid helicase activation of NF-κB. Natural dsRNAs
and poly IC which activate NF-κB in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and have the potential to enhance cancer cell proliferation.
Alferon Injection is an FDA-approved natural alpha-interferon product.
Ampligen
®
Ampligen
is approved for sale in Argentina (to 2026) for severe CFS and is an experimental drug in the United States currently undergoing clinical
development for the treatment of certain cancers, ME/CFS and Post-COVID Conditions. Over its developmental history, Ampligen has received
various designations, including Orphan Drug Product Designation (FDA and EMA), Treatment protocol (e.g., “Expanded Access”
or “Compassionate” use authorization) with Cost Recovery Authorization (FDA) and “promising” clinical outcome
recognition based on the evaluation of certain summary clinical reports (“AHRQ” or Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality).
Based on the results of published, peer-reviewed pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, we believe that Ampligen may have broad-spectrum
antiviral and anti-cancer properties.
We
believe that nucleic acid compounds represent a potential new class of pharmaceutical products designed to act at the molecular level
for treatment of many human diseases. Ampligen represents the first drug in the class of large (macromolecular) dsRNA molecules to apply
for NDA review. There are two forms of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) and ribonucleic acid (“RNA”).
DNA is a group of naturally occurring molecules found in chromosomes, the cell’s genetic machinery. RNA is a group of naturally
occurring informational molecules which orchestrate a cell’s behavior which, in turn, regulates the action of groups of cells,
including the cells which comprise the body’s immune system. RNA directs the production of proteins and regulates certain cell
activities including the activation of an otherwise dormant cellular defense against viruses and tumors. Our drug technology utilizes
specifically configured RNA and is a selective Toll-like Receptor 3 (“TLR3”) agonist that can be administered intravenously,
intranasally and intraperitoneally. Ampligen has been assigned the generic name rintatolimod by the United States Adopted Names Council
(“USANC”) and has the chemical designation poly(I):poly(C12U).
Expanded
Access Program/Early Access Programs/clinical trials of Ampligen that have been conducted or that are ongoing include studies of the
potential treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer, renal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian
cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, ME/CFS, Hepatitis B, HIV, COVID-19 and Post-COVID conditions.
We
have received approval of our NDA from ANMAT for the commercial sale of Ampligen in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe
CFS. The product would be marketed by GP Pharm, now Filaxis, our commercial partner in Latin America. Shipment of the drug product to
Argentina was initiated in 2018 to complete the release testing by ANMAT needed for commercial distribution. In September 2019, we received
clearance from the FDA to ship Ampligen to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent sales. In June 2020, we received import
clearance from ANMAT to import the first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen into Argentina. Collaboration with GP Pharm,
now Filaxis, continues for commercial launch of Ampligen in Argentina. To successfully bring this to market, several key steps are necessary,
including building disease awareness, providing medical education, securing appropriate reimbursement, developing effective market strategies,
and finalizing manufacturing preparations for launch. We started work with Filaxis (then GP Pharm) in 2016 to address these key issues.
The
economic landscape in Argentina has changed dramatically since then, with the country experiencing significant hyper-inflation. As contracts
in Argentina are U.S. dollar contracts, the parties must evaluate the impact of the devaluation on the relationship and the ability to
go forward on a U.S.-dollar basis. The combination of the cost and frequency of treatments has rendered CFS treatments in Argentina cost
prohibitive, at least for the time being. We will therefore focus our efforts with Filaxis on an approval in Argentina for pancreatic
cancer.
The
FDA has authorized an open-label expanded access treatment protocol (AMP-511) allowing patient access to Ampligen in a study under which
severely debilitated CFS patients have the opportunity to be on Ampligen to treat this serious and chronic condition. The AMP-511 protocol
started in the 1990s and is ongoing. The data collected from the AMP-511 protocol through clinical sites provide safety information regarding
the use of Ampligen in patients with CFS. We are establishing an enlarged database of clinical safety information which we believe will
provide further documentation regarding the absence of autoimmune disease associated with Ampligen treatment. We believe that continued
efforts to understand existing data, and to advance the development of new data and information, will ultimately support our future filings
for Ampligen and/or the design of future clinical studies that the FDA requested in a CRL. The FDA approved an increased reimbursement
level from $200 to $345 per 200 mg vial of Ampligen, due to increased production costs; which was re-authorized in 2021, 2022, 2023,
2024 and 2025. At this time, we do not plan on passing this adjustment along to the patients in this program. In October 2020, we received
IRB approval for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program clinical trial for ME/CFS to include patients previously diagnosed
with SARS-CoV-2 following clearance of the virus, but who still demonstrate chronic fatigue-like symptoms that we refer to as Post-COVID
conditions. As of September 30, 2025, there were 4 patients enrolled in this open-label expanded access treatment protocol. In July 2022,
AIM reported positive preliminary results based on data from the first four Post-COVID Condition patients enrolled in the study. The
data show that, by week 12, compared to baseline, the investigators observed what they considered a clinically significant decrease in
fatigue-related measures. To date, there have been eight such Post-COVID patients treated in this study.
26
In
May 2016, we entered into a five-year agreement with myTomorrows, a Netherlands-based company, for the commencement and management of
an Early Access Program (“EAP”) in Europe and Turkey related to ME/CFS. Pursuant to the agreement, as amended, myTomorrows
also is managing all Early Access Programs and Special Access Programs in Europe, Canada, and Turkey to treat pancreatic cancer and ME/CFS
patients. The agreement was automatically extended for a period of 12 months on May 20, 2021; has been automatically extended for 12
months on each subsequent May 20; and will continue to be automatically extended for periods of 12 months every May 20 until terminated
or the terms of the agreement are met.
In
June 2018, Ampligen was cited as outperforming two other TLR3 agonists — poly IC and natural double stranded RNA — in creating
an enhanced tumor microenvironment for checkpoint blockade therapy in the journal of Cancer Research. In a head-to-head study in explant
culture models, Ampligen activated the TLR3 pathway and promoted an accumulation of killer T cells but, unlike the other two TLR3 agonists,
it did so without causing regulatory T cell (Treg) attraction. These findings were considered important because they indicate that Ampligen
selectively reprograms the tumor microenvironment by inducing the beneficial aspects of tumor inflammation (attracting killer T cells),
without amplifying immune-suppressive elements such as regulatory T cells. The study was conducted at the University of Pittsburgh and
Roswell Park as a part of the NIH-funded P01 CA132714 and Ovarian Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (“SPORE”).
In
2018, we completed production of two commercial-size batches of more than 16,000 vials of Ampligen, following its “Fill & Finish”
at Jubilant HollisterStier, the Contract Manufacturing Organization. These lots passed all required testing for regulatory release for
human use and are being used for multiple programs, including the treatment of ME/CFS in the United States and the treatment of pancreatic
cancer in the Netherlands. These lots will be used for ongoing and future clinical studies in oncology. Additional lots of Ampligen were
manufactured in December 2019, January 2020 and December 2023.
As
to the production of additional Ampligen when and if needed, the validation of the polymer production process with Sterling Pharma Solutions
(“Sterling”) is ongoing. This will need to be complete before we can manufacture more polymer, and thus more Ampligen.
Immuno-Oncology
The
potential of Ampligen as an immuno-oncology therapeutic has been a major focus of AIM since our current leadership took over in 2016.
We have been working with the University of Pittsburgh’s chemokine modulation research initiative, which includes the use of Ampligen
as a potential adjuvant to modify the tumor microenvironment (“TME”) with the goal of increasing anti-tumor responses to
check point inhibitors (“CPI”). As part of this collaboration, we have supplied Ampligen to the University. The study, under
the leadership of Robert P. Edwards, MD, chair of gynecologic services at Magee-Women’s Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine, and Professor of Surgery Pawel Kalinski, M.D., Ph.D., at Roswell Park, Buffalo, N.Y., involved the chemokine modulatory
regimen developed by Dr. Kalinski’s group and successfully completed the Phase 1 dose escalation in patients with resectable colorectal
cancer.
Multiple
Ampligen clinical trials are underway or recently completed at major university cancer centers testing whether tumor microenvironments
can be reprogrammed to increase the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors. The underway trials include:
Pancreatic
Cancer Trial
● The
DURIPANC Study is a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial combining Ampligen with AstraZeneca’s
anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor Imfinzi® (durvalumab) for the treatment of late-stage
pancreatic cancer. The primary objective of the Phase 1b portion was to determine the safety
of combination treatment. Investigators at Erasmus Medical Center (“Erasmus MC”)
in the Netherlands have completed the safety evaluation of subjects enrolled in the first
dose level of the dose escalation design, finding the combination therapy to be generally
well-tolerated with no severe treatment-related adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities.
In February 2025, we announced that the Erasmus MC Safety Committee had approved the clinical
trial to move forward with Phase 2. In July 2025, we announced a positive mid-year safety
and efficacy update that included treatment of 14 subjects. There has been no significant
toxicity reported. Three of the 14 subjects (~21%) have progression free survival (PFS) >6
months with an additional 3 subjects (21%) not yet progressed. Overall survival (OS) of >6
months in majority of eligible subjects (64%). Up to 25 patients are expected to be enrolled
in the Phase 2 portion of DURIPANC. Enrollment and dosing is ongoing in Phase 2.
27
● The
Phase 2 AMP-270 clinical trial is a randomized, open-label, controlled, parallel-arm study with the primary objective of comparing
the efficacy of Ampligen in combination with standard of care (SOC) versus SOC alone following first-line therapy, such as
FOLFIRINOX for subjects with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Secondary objectives include comparing safety and
tolerability. AMP-270 is expected to enroll approximately 90 subjects in up to 30 centers across the U.S. and Europe. In March 2022,
the FDA granted clearance to proceed with the study. In April 2022, we executed a work order with Amarex to manage the clinical
trial. In August 2022, we received IRB approval of the trial protocol and so announced the trial’s commencement. The
authorization to proceed with the Phase 2 pancreatic cancer clinical trial has been received with potential sites in the Netherlands
at Erasmus MC, and also at major cancer research centers in the United States such as The Buffett Cancer Center at the University of
Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). We sought FDA guidance on the expansion of inclusion criteria and treatment arms, then subsequently
amended the study protocol. In February 2025, we made a business decision to place screening/enrollment on hold and suspend the
study. The study may be redesigned or amended, pending additional data from the ongoing DURIPANC clinical trial.
(https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05494697).
Advanced
Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
● Results
of the Phase 1 portion of a Phase 1/2 study of intraperitoneal chemo-immunotherapy in advanced
recurrent ovarian cancer were published in the American Association for Cancer Research publication,
Clinical Cancer Research (Clin Cancer Res January 19, 2022 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-21-3659).
The study results represent an important extension of prior studies using human tumor explants
that showed Ampligen’s potentially important role as a TLR3 agonist acting synergistically
with high-dose IFNα and celecoxib to selectively enhance Teff cell-attractants while
suppressing Treg-attractants in the tumor microenvironment with a concomitant increase in
the Teff/Treg ratio. The importance of boosting the Teff/Treg ratio in the tumor microenvironment
is that it is associated with the conversion of ‘cold’ tumors into ‘hot’
tumors, which have an increased sensitivity to chemo-immunotherapy and an improved chance
of showing tumor regression. The Phase 1 portion was designed to establish intraperitoneal
safety. The Phase 2 portion of the study has been terminated due to lack of funding. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02432378
● A
Phase 2 study of advanced recurrent ovarian cancer using cisplatin, pembrolizumab, plus Ampligen;
up to 45 patients to be enrolled; enrollment has commenced, and numerous patients have commenced
treatment. In April 2024, researchers released topline data that saw an Objective Response
Rate (“ORR”) of 45% in platinum-sensitive subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer.
ORR includes complete response (“CR”) and partial response (“PR”)
to treatment. There was a total Clinical Benefit Rate (“CBR”) of 55% when including
patients who experienced stable disease (“SD”). Researchers also reported a median
Progression-Free Survival (“PFS”) of 7.8 months. In July 2024, results posted
online indicated 24 patients treated in the study saw an ORR of 50% and no patients
had a dose-limiting toxicity reported. Based on these results and other research suggesting
a similar effect in other solid tumor types, AIM sees an Ampligen combination therapy as
having potential across multiple types of cancers. Additional clinical studies are being
planned in these tumor types to further confirm these effects.” https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03734692.
We
hold multiple patents related to the use of Ampligen as part of a combination therapy when combined with checkpoint inhibitors
for the treatment of cancer. The combination of these compounds is designed to work synergistically to enhance the effectiveness of the
treatment. AIM’s “synergistic” patents include a U.S. patent (expires August 9, 2039) for methods involving use of Ampligen
as part of a combination oncology therapy when paired with an anti-PD-L1 antibody; a patent in Japan (expires December 20, 2039) for the
use of Ampligen in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies) for the treatment of cancer; and a patent
in the Netherlands (expires December 19, 2039) for the use of Ampligen as a combination cancer therapy with checkpoint blockade inhibitors,
such as Keytruda (pembrolizumab), Opdivo (nivolumab) and Imfinzi (durvalumab). Additional “synergistic” patent applications
are pending and AIM will promptly announce when any such patent is issued. Additionally, in June 2025 we received a patent (expires January
25, 2041) covering methods
involving the manufacture of a range of therapeutic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) products, of which Ampligen is included. Combined with
our multiple compositions and methods patents involving Ampligen, this manufacturing patent, along with our other issued patents, further
secures our control over the synthesis and use of the first-in-class drug.
Stage
4 Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer - Phase 1 study of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer using chemokine modulation
therapy, including Ampligen and pembrolizumab. Eight patients were enrolled and 6 patients were evaluable. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03599453.
The key findings announced first in April 2022, and later published in November 2023, included:
● The
pre-determined primary endpoint of efficacy was met (increase in CD8 in TME).
● Uniform
increase of immune markers upon treatment was observed: CD8 mRNA (6.1-fold; p-0.034), GZMB
mRNA (3.5-fold; p=0.058), ratios of CD8 /FOXP3 and GZMB/FOXP3 (5.7-fold; p=0.036, and 7.6-fold;
p=0.024 respectively), thus successfully meeting the pre-determined primary endpoint in the
study (increase in CD8 in TME).
● In
addition, an increase in CTL attractants CXCL10 (2.6-fold; p=0.104) and CCL5 (3.3-fold; p=0.019)
was observed. In contrast, Treg marker FOXP3 or Treg attractants CCL22 or CXCL12 were not
enhanced.
● Three
patients had stable disease lasting 2.4, 2.5 and 3.8 months, as of data cut off September
1, 2021.
● An
additional patient (non-evaluable) had a partial response (breast tumor autoamputation) with
massive tumor necrosis in the post-CKM biopsy.
28
Stage
4 Colorectal Cancer Metastatic to the Liver - Phase 2a study of Ampligen as a component of chemokine modulatory regimen on colorectal
cancer metastatic to liver; recruitment has been completed; 19 patients were enrolled and 12 patients were evaluable for the primary
endpoint https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03403634. The key findings announced in April 2022 included:
● The
study’s primary endpoint was met, evidenced by increased CD8a expression post-treatment
(p=0.046).
● Saw
increase in the CD8a/CD4 (p=0.03), CD8a/FOXP3 (p<0.01) and GZMB/FOXP3 (p<0.01) ratios.
● The
expression of CTL-attracting chemokines CCL5 (p=0.08), CXCL9 (p=0.05), and CXCL10 (p=0.06)
were increased, while expression of the Treg/MDSC attractant CXCL12 (p=0.07) was decreased
post-treatment.
● Median
OS was 10.5 (90% CI 2.2-15.2) months, and the median PFS was 1.5 (90% CI 1.4, 1.8) months.
● No
tumor responses were seen. The treatment was well tolerated. Of all enrolled patients (N=19),
adverse events were noted in 74% of patients, with the most common being fatigue (58%). Grade
3 or higher adverse events were rare (5%).
Early-Stage
Prostate Cancer - Phase 2 study investigating the effectiveness and safety of aspirin and Ampligen with or without interferon-alpha
2b (Intron A) compared to no drug treatments in a randomized three-arm study of patients with prostate cancer before undergoing radical
prostatectomy. Patient enrollment was initiated in this study designed for up to 45 patients. The study was temporarily suspended due
to the Merck discontinuation of Intron-A production. Roswell Park has had a Type-C meeting with the FDA and has performed the necessary
experiments to replace Intron-A with a generic alpha-interferon. As of August 2025,the study is no longer recruiting patients. A total
of 12 patients were enrolled. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03899987.
Early-Stage
Triple Negative Breast Cancer - The objective of this Phase 1 study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a combination of
Ampligen, celecoxib with or without Intron A, when given along with chemotherapy in patients with early-stage triple negative breast
cancer. The now completed (as of September 2022) topline results from the study confirm the positive findings that were previously presented
at the 2022 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 37th Annual Meeting in a poster presentation titled Safety and efficacy of de-escalated
neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) using chemokine-modulating regimen (rintatolimod, IFN-α2b,
celecoxib). The primary endpoint of the study was safety and tolerability. The results demonstrated that treatment was well-tolerated
with mostly grade 1 or 2 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) without dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) or delayed or immune-related
toxicities. DLT was defined as grade 3 or higher toxicities within the first 3 weeks. Secondary endpoints included pCR rate where 5/9
(56%) of patients attained pCR and 1 more patient attained ypTmic. Tumor and blood biomarkers were also analyzed in exploratory studies.

Refractory
Melanoma — Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (“Roswell Park”), in a clinical trial fully funded by the National
Cancer Institute (NCI), has commenced patient enrollment in its Phase 2 study in subjects with primary PD-1/PD-L1 resistant melanoma.
The Phase 2 study will evaluate type-1 polarized dendritic cell (αDC1) vaccine in combination with tumor-selective chemokine modulation
(“CKM”) comprised of Interferon alpha 2b, Ampligen (rintatolimod) and Celecoxib. Up to 24 patients are to be enrolled. The
study was temporarily suspended due to the Merck discontinuation of Intron-A production but has since resumed recruitment. In June 2025,
the study was terminated with 1 patient enrolled, funding completed. (See: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT04093323).
Metastatic
or Unresectable Triple Negative Breast Cancer – This phase 1/2a trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of chemokine
modulation therapy (CKM) (rintatolimod, celecoxib, and interferon alpha 2b) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients
with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic)
or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). In June 2025, the study was terminated with 5 patients enrolled, funding ended.

Additional
Progress and Analysis Related to Pancreatic Cancer
In
January 2017, the EAP established under our agreement with myTomorrows to enable access of Ampligen to ME/CFS patients was extended to
pancreatic cancer patients beginning in the Netherlands. myTomorrows is our exclusive service provider in Europe and Turkey and will
manage all EAP activities relating to the pancreatic cancer extension of the program. In February 2018, the agreement with myTomorrows
was extended to cover Canada to treat pancreatic cancer patients, pending government approval. There have been no physician requests
to date that would cause the program to move forward with the approval process.
A
total of 42 pancreatic cancer patients initially received treatment with Ampligen immuno-oncology therapy under the EAP program at Erasmus
MC in the Netherlands, with more than 50 patients ultimately receiving treatment. Prof. C.H.J. van Eijck, MD, was the lead investigator.
In March 2024, the team at Erasmus MC published a thorough data analysis in an article titled “Rintatolimod in Advanced Pancreatic
Cancer enhances Anti-Tumor Immunity through Dendritic Cell-Mediated T Cell Responses” in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.
The positive clinical findings relate to changes in the tumor microenvironment after Ampligen use. We are working with our Contract Research
Organization, Amarex Clinical Research LLC, to seek FDA “fast-track.” We have applied for fast-track status; have received
denials to date; and are currently working through the FDA process to provide all the materials and information required to achieve fast-track
status.

A
manuscript titled “Rintatolimod in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer enhances Anti-Tumor Immunity through Dendritic Cell-Mediated T Cell
Responses,” was published in the print version of the journal Clinical Cancer Research in August 2024. Researchers at the Erasmus
University Medical Center (“Erasmus MC”) found that Ampligen treatment in pancreatic cancer patients enhances peripheral
immune activity at the transcriptomic and proteomic levels, particularly involving type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) and T
cells. Post-Ampligen, the increased peripheral abundance of BTLA+XCR1+ cDC1s and CD4+SELL+ T cells correlated with improved clinical
outcomes. Patients with stable disease exhibited pronounced overexpression of genes related to DC and T cell activation. Notably, the
expression of immune checkpoints PD-L1 and PD-L2 decreased post-Ampligen across all patients.
Additionally:
● In
December 2020, the FDA granted Ampligen Orphan Drug Designation status for the treatment
of pancreatic cancer. The Orphan Drug Designation program provides orphan status to drugs
and biologics which are defined as those intended for the treatment, prevention or diagnosis
of a rare disease or condition, which is one that affects less than 200,000 persons in the
United States or meets cost recovery provisions of the act. The status helps incentivize
the treatment of therapies to treat unmet medical needs by providing a company with seven
years of exclusivity rights once a drug reaches market.
● In
February 2021, our subsidiary, NV Hemispherx Biopharma Europe (now AIM ImmunoTech Europe
N.V./S.A.), received formal notification from the European Commission (“EC”)
granting Orphan Medicinal Product Designation for Ampligen as a treatment for pancreatic
cancer. Orphan products, once commercially approved in the European Union (“EU”),
receive benefits including up to ten years of protection from market competition from similar
medicines with similar active component and indication for use that are not shown to be clinically
superior.
In
June 2021, Ampligen was featured in a publication containing state-of-the-art methodologies in the peer-reviewed medical journal Cancers
as a potential treatment option for cancer patients who are infected with SARS-CoV-2. The study’s authors stated that Ampligen
has the potential to reduce the severity of the deadly respiratory disease COVID-19. According to laboratory data presented in the publication,
“Rintatolimod [Ampligen] activated the innate and the adaptive immune systems by activating a cascade of actions in human pancreatic
cancer cells”, including:
● Stimulation
of interferon regulatory factors and activation of the interferon signaling pathway,
● Production
of immunomodulatory activity and
● Induction
of the expression of MHC class I and II histocompatibility
The
full journal article is titled: “Rintatolimod Induces Antiviral Activities in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells: Opening for an Anti-COVID-19
Opportunity in Cancer Patients?” Cancers is a peer-reviewed, open access journal of oncology published semimonthly online by MDPI.
The study’s authors include Prof. C.H.J. van Eijck, MD, PhD, the lead investigator at Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands.
In
October 2021, we and Amarex submitted an IND application with the FDA for a planned Phase 2 study of Ampligen as a therapy for locally
advanced or metastatic late-stage pancreatic cancer. In December 2021, the FDA responded with a Clinical Hold on the proposed study.
We submitted our response to the FDA in February 2022. In March 2022, we received notification from the FDA that the Clinical Hold was
released and cleared, meaning that we are now able to proceed with the study specifically to treat locally advanced pancreatic cancer
patients. In August 2022, we received IRB approval of the trial protocol and so announced the trial’s commencement.
A
Type D meeting package seeking the FDA guidance on expansion of inclusion criteria and treatment arms to be included was submitted to
the FDA. We subsequently amended the study protocol. In February 2025, we made a business decision to place screening/enrollment on hold
and suspend the study.
Positive
data was published in March 2022 in a manuscript titled, “Rintatolimod (Ampligen®) enhances numbers of peripheral B cells and
is associated with longer survival in patients with locally advanced and metastasized pancreatic cancer pre-treated with FOLFIRINOX:
a single-center named patient program,” in Cancers Special Issue: Combination and Innovative Therapies for Pancreatic Cancer. In
the single-center, named-patient program, patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) or metastatic disease were treated
with Ampligen for 6 weeks, at 2 doses per week with 400 mg per infusion. The study found that Ampligen improved the median survival of
these patients. The study’s primary endpoints were the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SIII), the Neutrophils to Lymphocyte
Ratio (NLR), and absolute counts of 18 different populations of circulating immune cells as measured by flow cytometry. Secondary endpoints
were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The median overall survival in the Ampligen group was 19 months, compared
to a historical control group and subgroup (7.5 and 12.5, respectively) that did not receive Ampligen.
30
Also
in March 2022, we announced that study data evaluating the direct effects of Ampligen on human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
cells was accepted for presentation at the 15th Annual International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association World Congress in New York,
NY. For the study, three PDAC cell lines (CFPAC-1, MIAPaCa-2, and PANC-1) were treated with various concentrations of Ampligen and their
corresponding vehicle control. The proliferation and migration effects were examined using in-vitro assays and the molecular effect was
examined by targeted gene expression profiling. Additionally human PDAC samples were used to validate the expression of toll-like receptor
3 (TLR3) by immunohistochemistry. Results from the study demonstrated Ampligen decreased the proliferation and migration ability of CFPAC-1
cells. In addition, it decreased the proliferation of MIAPaCa-2 cells and the migration of PANC-1 cells. However, it did not have a dual
effect in MIAPaCa-2 and PANC-1 cells. Interestingly, TLR3 was highly expressed in CFPAC-1 cells, low expressed in MIAPaCa-2 and not expressed
in PANC-1. Gene expression analysis revealed the upregulation of interferon-related genes, chemokines, interleukins and cell cycle regulatory
genes. The heterogeneity of TLR3 expression was confirmed in human PDAC samples. Based on these results, treating pancreatic cancer with
Ampligen may have a direct anti-tumor effect in pancreatic cancer cells expressing TLR-3.
Ampligen
as a Potential Antiviral
Following
the SARS-CoV-1 outbreak in 2002-03, Ampligen exhibited excellent antiviral properties and protective survival effect in NIH-contracted
studies of SARS-CoV-1-infected mice, which is very similar to SARS-CoV-2, the novel virus that causes COVID-19.
● The
Barnard 2006 study (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/095632020601700505) found
that Ampligen reduced virus lung levels to below detectable limits.
● The
Day 2009 study (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042682209005832) found
that, instead of 100% mortality, there was 100% protective survival using Ampligen.
We
compared key transcription regulatory sequences of SARS-CoV-1 to SARS-CoV-2 and found significant similarities, suggesting highly probable
extension of the antiviral effects of Ampligen in the earlier NIH-contracted SARS experiments to COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 virus –
which causes COVID-19 – shares important genomic and pathogenic similarities with SARS-CoV-1 (hence its name). Since Ampligen has
shown antiviral activity against more distantly related coronaviruses, there was a reasonable probability that the antiviral effects
of Ampligen against SARS-CoV-1 will likely extend to SARS-CoV-2, and as discussed below, recently, Ampligen has demonstrated ex vivo
antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. We believe that this creates a compelling case for clinical trials to evaluate Ampligen as a potential
tool in the fight against COVID-19.
Since
the late 2019 outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, we have worked to determine whether Ampligen could be an effective treatment for this virus or
could be part of a vaccine. We believe that Ampligen has the potential to be both an early-onset treatment for and prophylaxis against
SARS-CoV-2. We believe that prior studies of Ampligen in SARS-CoV-1 animal experimentation may predict similar protective effects against
the new virus.
In
February 2020, we filed three provisional patent applications related to Ampligen in our efforts toward joining the global health community
in the fight against the deadly coronavirus (See: https://aimimmuno.com/press-release/aim-immunotech-files-provisional-patent-application-for-the-use-of-ampligenr-as-a-potential-therapy-for-covid-19-induced-chronic-fatigue/) .
Our three provisional patent applications include: 1) Ampligen as a therapy for the coronavirus; 2) Ampligen as part of a proposed intranasal
universal coronavirus vaccine that combines Ampligen with inactivated coronavirus, conveying immunity and cross-protection and; 3) a
high-volume manufacturing process for Ampligen. Under the Patent Cooperation Treaty of 1970, which provides international protections
for patents, these three provisional patent applications were converted into two international patent applications based on the date
of their filings.
In
May 2020, the FDA authorized an IND for Roswell Park to conduct a Phase 1/2a study of a regimen of Ampligen and interferon alpha in cancer
patients with COVID-19 infections. This clinical trial, sponsored by Roswell Park in collaboration with us, will test the safety of this
combination regimen in patients with cancer and COVID-19, and the extent to which this therapy will promote clearance of the SARS-CoV-2
virus from the upper airway. Several subjects have been treated. It is planned that the phase 1/2a study will enroll up to 44 patients
in two stages. Phase 1 will see 12-24 patients receiving both Ampligen and interferon alpha-2b at escalating doses. Once that initial
phase is complete, further study participants will be randomized to two arms: one receiving the two-drug combination and a control group
who will not receive Ampligen or interferon alpha but will receive best available care. We are a financial sponsor of the study and will
provide Ampligen at no charge for this study. In November 2020, the first patient in the study had been enrolled and treated. This study
was amended to add 20 patients, with 10 randomized to receive a single dose of Ampligen and 10 patients to receive current best therapies.
(See clinicaltrials.gov/NCT04379518). Roswell reported partial results from the study.
31
We
also entered into a specialized services agreement with Utah State University and have supplied Ampligen to support the University’s
Institute for Viral Research in its research into SARS-CoV-2. The Utah State results show that Ampligen was able to decrease SARS-CoV-2
infectious viral yields by 90% at clinically achievable intranasal Ampligen dosage levels.
In
October 2020, we received IRB approval for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program clinical trial for ME/CFS to include
patients previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, but who still demonstrate chronic fatigue-like symptoms. Eight Long-COVID patients have
been treated with Ampligen in AMP-511 since January 2021. One patient is still receiving treatment.
In
January 2021, we entered into a Sponsor Agreement with CHDR to manage a Phase 1 randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the safety
and activity of repeated intranasal administration of Ampligen. AIM funded and sponsored the study. This study was designed to assess
the safety, tolerability and biological activity of repeated administration of Ampligen intranasally. A total of 40 healthy subjects
received either Ampligen or a placebo in the trial, with the Ampligen given at four escalating dosages across four cohorts, to a maximum
level of 1,250 micrograms. The study was completed, and the Final Safety Report reported no Serious or Severe Adverse Events at any dosage
level. We believe that the trial is a critical step in our efforts to develop Ampligen as a potential prophylaxis or treatment for COVID-19
and other respiratory viral diseases. Amarex provided us with monitoring support during the trial.
Additionally,
we filed two COVID-19-related provisional patent applications in the third quarter of 2021. In August, we filed an application for Ampligen
as both an intranasal and an intravenous therapy for what we describe as Post-COVID conditions. The people suffering from Post-COVID
conditions, including some young adults, can be afflicted with severe difficulties in concentrating; serious memory problems; and the
inability to live an active lifestyle, to work and even to perform everyday tasks. Early data has demonstrated that patients with symptoms
of Post-COVID conditions being treated with Ampligen in the ongoing AMP-511 Expanded Access Program have reported improvements in fatigue
symptoms. Similarly, in ME/CFS, data supports the claim that Ampligen improves fatigue symptoms. Then in September 2022, we filed a patent
application for Ampligen as a potential early-onset intranasal therapy designed to enhance and expand infection-induced immunity, epitope
spreading, cross-reactivity and cross-protection in patients exposed to a wide range of RNA respiratory viruses, such as influenza, Rhinoviruses
and SARS-CoV-2.
In
addition to securing these two provisional patent applications, we also moved forward with proposed studies in these areas and with Pre-Investigational
New Drug Applications in September 2021. One pre-IND was for a Phase 2, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter
study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ampligen in patients experiencing Post-COVID conditions (originally referred to as Post-COVID
Cognitive Dysfunction (PCCD) and has been revised to Post-COVID conditions).
We
believe that Ampligen has the potential to be both an early-onset treatment for, and prophylaxis against, SARS-CoV-2. We believe that
prior studies of Ampligen in SARS-CoV-1 animal experimentation may predict similar protective effects against the newer virus.
Ampligen
as a Treatment for ME/CFS and Post-COVID Conditions
In
July 2023, we enrolled and dosed the first patient in our Phase 2 study evaluating Ampligen® as a potential therapeutic for people
with post-COVID conditions (“AMP-518”). We announced in August 2023 that the study had met the planned enrollment of 80 subjects
ages 18 to 60 years who have been randomized 1:1 to receive twice-weekly intravenous infusions of Ampligen or placebo for 12 weeks, with
a follow-up phase of two weeks. All patients have completed the study and topline data was reported in February 2024.
In
January 2025, we announced that the final Clinical Study results from AMP-518 had been posted to ClinicalTrials.gov. The results support
our belief in Ampligen as a potential therapeutic for people with the moderate-to-severe Post-COVID condition of fatigue, and that this
would be the likely subject population for AIM’s planned follow-up clinical trial. Study subjects with Long COVID were, on average,
able to walk farther in a Six-Minute Walk Test (“6MWT”) when compared to subjects who received a placebo. The 6MWT measured
the distance a subject was able to walk in six minutes as a baseline and then again at 13 weeks. A clear signal of significant potential
(p <0.02, two-tailed T-test) was observed in Ampligen-treated subjects with a baseline 6MWT less than 205 meters, who saw a mean improvement
of 139 meters, compared to a mean improvement of 91 meters in the corresponding part of the group who received the placebo. AIM therefore
believes that any future trial design should focus on Ampligen’s therapeutic potential for subjects whose Long COVID-related fatigue
can be categorized as moderate or worse.
Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), also known as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (“CFIDS”)
and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), is a serious and debilitating chronic illness and a major public health problem. ME/CFS is recognized
by both the government and private sector as a significant unmet medical need, including the U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”),
FDA and the CDC.
32
Many
severe ME/CFS patients become completely disabled or totally bedridden and are afflicted with severe pain and mental confusion even at
rest. ME/CFS is characterized by incapacitating fatigue with profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina, sleep difficulties and problems
with concentration and short-term memory. It is also accompanied by flu-like symptoms, pain in the joints and muscles, tender lymph nodes,
sore throat and new headaches. A distinctive characteristic of the illness is a worsening of symptoms following physical or mental exertion,
which do not subside with rest.
The
high number of younger people being hospitalized for COVID-19 suggests considerable numbers of people in the prime of their lives may
have a COVID-induced ME/CFS-like illness in their future. According to a 2016 journal article, the estimated annual cost of lost productivity
related to ME/CFS was $9-37 billion in the United States, and for direct medical costs it was $9-14 billion.
In
June of 2020, we filed a provisional patent application for, among other discoveries, the use of Ampligen as a potential early-onset
therapy for the treatment of COVID-19-induced chronic fatigue.
Many
survivors of the first SARS-CoV-1 epidemic in 2003 continued to report chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping and shortness of breath months
after recovering from the acute illness. “After one year, 17% of patients had not returned to work and 9% more had not returned
to their pre-SARS work levels,” according to Simmaron Research. Now there is increasing evidence that patients with COVID-19 can
develop a similar, ME/CFS-like illness. These patients are commonly referred to as “Long Haulers.”
In
October 2020, we received IRB approval for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program clinical trial for ME/CFS to include
patients previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 following clearance of the virus, but who still demonstrate chronic fatigue-like symptoms.
For more information on our AMP-511 Expanded Access Program, please see “OUR PRODUCTS: Ampligen” above.
In
November 2020, we announced the publication of statistically significant data detailing how Ampligen could have a considerable positive
impact on people living with ME/CFS when administered in the early stages of the disease. The data were published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed
open access scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science. AIM researchers found that the TLR3 agonist Ampligen substantially
improved physical performance in a subset of ME/CFS patients.
As
noted above in Overview; General; Ampligen as a treatment for ME/CFS, we have long been focused on seeking the FDA’s approval for
the use of Ampligen to treat ME/CFS. In fact, in February 2013, we received a CRL from the FDA for our Ampligen NDA for ME/CFS. We believe
Phase 3 results provided in the NDA were positive. The CRL indicated that we should conduct at least one additional clinical trial, complete
various nonclinical studies and perform a number of data analyses.
While
developing a comprehensive response to the FDA and a plan for a confirmatory trial for the FDA NDA, we proceeded independently in Argentina
and, in August 2016, we received approval of an NDA from ANMAT for commercial sale of Ampligen in the Argentine Republic for the treatment
of severe CFS. In September 2019, we received clearance from the FDA to ship Ampligen to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent
sales. On June 10, 2020, we received import clearance from ANMAT to import the first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen into
Argentina. The next steps in the commercial launch of Ampligen include ANMAT conducting a final inspection of the product and release
tests before granting final approval to begin commercial sales. This testing and approval process is currently delayed due to ANMAT’s
internal processes. Once final approval by ANMAT is obtained, we will begin distributing Ampligen in Argentina.
We
plan on a comprehensive follow-up with the FDA regarding the use of Ampligen as a treatment for ME/CFS. We have learned a great deal
since the FDA’s CRL and plan to adjust our approach to concentrate on specific ME/CFS symptoms. Responses to the CRL and a proposed
confirmatory trial are being worked on now by our R&D team and consultants.
Other
Diseases
In
Europe, the EMA has approved the Orphan Medicinal Products Designation for Ampligen as a potential treatment of Ebola virus disease and
for Alferon N Injection as a potential treatment of MERS.
We
concluded our series of collaborations designed to determine the potential effectiveness of Ampligen and Alferon N Injection as potential
preventive and/or therapeutic treatments for Ebola-related disorders. Although we believe that the threat of both MERS and Ebola globally
may reemerge in the future, it appears that the spread of these disorders has diminished.
33
In
April 2021, we entered into an MTA with the University of Cagliari Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita e dell’Ambiente (“UNICA”),
an educational institution, under the laws of Italy, located in Monserrato (Cagliari), Italy. The MTA relates to the research and development
of the effects of Ampligen and its ability to induce interferon production in several cell lines, and also on the ability of the Ebola
virus protein VP35 to bind to viral dsRNA and impede interferon’s upregulation and activity, and on Ampligen’s ability to
reverse VP35 inhibition of interferon production in biological systems. The data analysis was published in the peer-reviewed journal
Antiviral Research, in a manuscript titled “Ebola virus disease: In vivo protection provided by the PAMP restricted TLR3 agonist
rintatolimod and its mechanism of action.” We believe that the analysis supports a dual mechanism of action when Ampligen is used
as a prophylactic therapy against Ebola Virus Disease.
In
May 2021, we filed a U.S. Provisional Patent Application for Ampligen as a potential therapeutic to possibly slow, halt, or reverse the
progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
In
November 2022, we received notice that the FDA had granted Orphan Drug Designation to Ampligen for the treatment of Ebola virus disease.
In
October 2024, we were granted U.S. patent No. 12,102,649, covering both compositions and methods comprising a range of TRL3 agonist,
within the drug Ampligen, in the treatment of endometriosis, a painful chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the
uterus grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain and making it difficult or impossible to become pregnant. The patented method
involves the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition containing our proprietary double-stranded
RNA products. The versatile administration options offer flexibility for patient-specific needs and care. The patent also covers treatments
targeting recurrent endometriosis and includes options for co-administration with interferons, including well-known types such as alpha
and beta interferons.
We
announced in February 2025 our intention to pursue a study of a potential avian influenza combination therapy of Ampligen and AstraZeneca’s
FluMist, a nasal spray vaccine that helps prevent seasonal influenza. The new proposed clinical trial would expand upon previous Company-sponsored
clinical research at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (“UAB”), which indicated that intranasal delivery of Ampligen after
the intranasal delivery of the FluMist seasonal influenza vaccine increased the immune response to seasonal variants in the vaccine by
greater than four-fold and induced cross-reactive secretory Immunoglobulin A against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus strains
H5N1, H7N9 and H7N3. We are seeking collaborative grants from government and industry to defray the cost of the study. We believe that
pre-clinical and clinical work to date – combined with the ever-growing threat of Avian influenza – strongly supports our
decision to move forward with this second Ampligen and FluMist study in humans.
Alferon
N Injection®
Alferon
N Injection is the registered trademark for our injectable formulation of natural alpha interferon. Alferon N Injection is the only natural-source,
multi-species alpha interferon currently approved for sale in the United States and Argentina for the intralesional (within lesions)
treatment of refractory (resistant to other treatment) or recurring external genital warts in patients 18 years of age or older. Alferon
N Injection is also approved in Argentina for the treatment of refractory patients that failed or were intolerant to treatment with recombinant
interferons. Argentina has experienced hyper-inflation and devaluation of its currency compared to the U.S. dollar. Contracts with GP
Pharm are U.S. dollar contracts and the parties must evaluate the impact of the recent devaluation on its relationship. Certain types
of human papilloma viruses (“HPV”) cause genital warts, a sexually transmitted disease (“STD”). According to
the CDC, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, with approximately 79 million Americans — most in their late teens
and early 20s — infected with HPV. In fact, the CDC states that “HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active men and
women get the virus at some point in their lives.” Although they do not usually result in death, genital warts commonly recur,
causing significant morbidity and entail substantial health care costs.
Interferons
are a group of proteins produced and secreted by cells to combat diseases. Researchers have identified four major classes of human interferon:
alpha, beta, gamma and omega. Alferon N Injection contains a multi-species form of alpha interferon. The worldwide market for injectable
alpha interferon-based products has experienced rapid growth and various alpha interferon injectable products are approved for many major
medical uses worldwide. Alpha interferons are manufactured commercially in three ways: by genetic engineering, by cell culture, and from
human white blood cells. All three of these types of alpha interferon are or were approved for commercial sale in the United States.
Our natural alpha interferon is produced from human white blood cells. The potential advantages of natural alpha interferon over recombinant
(i.e., synthetic) interferon produced and marketed by other pharmaceutical firms may be based upon their respective molecular compositions.
Natural alpha interferon is composed of a family of proteins containing many molecular species of interferon. In contrast, commercial
recombinant alpha interferon products each contain only a single species. Researchers have reported that the various species of interferons
may have differing antiviral activity depending upon the type of virus. Natural alpha interferon presents a broad complement of species,
which we believe may account for its higher activity in laboratory studies. Natural alpha interferon is also glycosylated (i.e., partially
covered with sugar molecules). Such glycosylation is not present on the currently U.S.-marketed recombinant alpha interferons. We believe
that the absence of glycosylation may be in part responsible for the production of interferon-neutralizing antibodies seen in patients
treated with recombinant alpha interferon. Although cell culture-derived interferon is also composed of multiple glycosylated alpha interferon
species, the types and relative quantity of these species are different from our natural alpha interferon.
34
Alferon
N Injection [Interferon alfa-n3 (human leukocyte derived)] is a highly purified, natural-source, glycosylated, multi-species alpha interferon
product. There are essentially no neutralizing antibodies observed against Alferon N Injection to date and the product has a relatively
low side-effect profile. The recombinant DNA derived alpha interferon formulations have been reported to have decreased effectiveness
after one year of treatment, probably due to neutralizing antibody formation (See “Manufacturing” and “Marketing/Distribution”
sections below for more details on the manufacture and marketing/distribution of Alferon N Injection). The production of new Alferon
N Injection Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, or API, is currently on hold. We do not know when, if ever, our products will be generally
available for commercial sale for any indication. Additionally, on May 9, 2023, we were granted a U.S. Patent for a method for preventing
or reducing antigenic drift or viral reassortment in a host animal comprising determining if a host animal has been exposed to or infected
by an avian influenza virus and administering to the exposed host animal alpha-interferon. Given our focus on developing Ampligen as an oncology therapy and antiviral, alone and in combination with other
drugs, at this time we are not focusing on developing Alferon N Injection.
MANUFACTURING
ANMAT
in Argentina approved Ampligen for commercial distribution for the treatment of CFS in 2016. Shipment of the drug product to Argentina
was initiated in 2018 to complete the release testing by ANMAT needed for commercial distribution. In September 2019, we received clearance
from the FDA to ship Ampligen to Argentina for the commercial launch and subsequent sales. In June 2020, we received import clearance
from ANMAT to import the first shipment of commercial grade vials of Ampligen into Argentina. We are currently collaborating with GP
Pharm, now Filaxis, on the commercial launch of Ampligen in Argentina (See “Our Products; Ampligen” above).
Following
our approval in Argentina, in 2017 we engaged Jubilant HollisterStier (“Jubilant”) to be our authorized CMO for Ampligen.
Two lots of Ampligen consisting of more than 16,000 units were manufactured and released in 2018; these lots have been designated for
human use in the United States in the cost recovery CFS program and for expanded oncology clinical trials. The production of additional
polymer (Ampligen intermediates) took place in 2019 at our New Brunswick facility. Additionally, Jubilant manufactured three more lots
of Ampligen in December 2019, January 2020 and December 2023. In addition, we have supplied GP Pharm, now Filaxis, with the Ampligen
required for testing and ANMAT release under the agreement that GP Pharm, now Filaxis, would be the eventual distributor in Argentina.
In
June 2022 we entered into a lease agreement with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority for a 5,210 square-foot, state-of-the-art
R&D facility at the New Jersey Bioscience Center (NJBC), primarily consisting of two separate laboratory suites. The lease commenced
on July 1, 2022, and runs through August 31, 2027, but can be extended for an additional five-year period. The facility is AIM’s
operations, research and development center.
Our
business plan calls for the utilization of one or more CMOs to produce Ampligen API. While we believe we have sufficient Ampligen API
to meet our current needs, we are also continually exploring new efficiencies so as to maximize our ability to fulfill future obligations.
In this regard, on December 5, 2022, we entered into a Master Service Agreement and a Quality Agreement with Sterling Pharma Solutions
(“Sterling”) for the manufacture of our Poly I and Poly C12U polynucleotides and transfer of associated test methods at Sterling’s
Dudley, UK location to produce the polymer precursors to manufacture the drug Ampligen. We are utilizing Sterling’s expertise to
refine our approach to polymer production; the validation of the polymer production process with Sterling is ongoing.
Our
second product, Alferon N Injection, is approved by the FDA for commercial sales in the United States for the treatment of genital warts.
It is also approved by ANMAT in Argentina for commercial sales for the treatment of genital warts and in patients who are refractory
to treatment with recombinant interferons. Commercial sales of Alferon N Injection in the United States will not resume until new batches
of commercial filled and finished product are produced and released by the FDA. We will need the FDA’s approval to release commercial
product once we have identified our new manufacturing approach and submitted satisfactory stability and quality release data. Currently,
we are not manufacturing Alferon N Injection and there is no definitive timetable to resume production.
LICENSING/COLLABORATIONS/JOINT
VENTURES
To
enable potential availability of Ampligen to patients on a worldwide basis, we have embarked on a strategy to license the product and/or
to collaborate and/or create a joint venture with companies that have the demonstrated capabilities and commitment to successfully gain
approval and commercialize Ampligen in their respective global territories of the world. Ideal partners would have the following characteristics:
well-established global and regional experience and coverage; robust commercial infrastructure; a strong track record of successful development
and registration of in-licensed products; and a therapeutic area fit (e.g., ME/CFS, immuno-oncology).
As
Filaxis has now turned its focus to oncology, we are exploring the potential for the use of Ampligen in Argentina for the treatment of
pancreatic cancer as either a monotherapy or in combination with immunotherapies.

MARKETING/DISTRIBUTION
In
May 2016, we entered into a five-year, exclusive Renewed Sales, Marketing, Distribution and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with GP Pharm, now Filaxis. Under this Agreement, GP Pharm was responsible for gaining regulatory approval in Argentina for Ampligen
to treat severe CFS in Argentina and for commercializing Ampligen for this indication in Argentina. We granted GP Pharm the right to
expand rights to sell this experimental therapeutic into other Latin America countries based upon GP Pharm achieving certain performance
milestones. We also granted GP Pharm an option to market Alferon N Injection in Argentina and other Latin America countries. They have
since decided to discontinue this effort with Alferon but we continue to search for other partners in Argentina to continue this project.
The contract was extended in May 2021 with an end date of May 24, 2024. While we are in discussions with Filaxis to extend the agreement,
we are also open to the possibility of looking for a new partner. In August 2021, ANMAT granted a five-year extension to a previous approval
to sell and distribute Ampligen to treat severe CFS in Argentina. This extends the approval until 2026.
In
May 2016, we entered into a five-year agreement (the “Impatients Agreement”) with Impatients, N.V. (“myTomorrows”),
a Netherlands-based company, for the commencement and management of an EAP in Europe and Turkey (the “Territory”) related
to ME/CFS. Pursuant to the agreement, myTomorrows, as our exclusive service provider and distributor in the Territory, is performing
EAP activities. These activities will be directed to (a) the education of physicians and patients regarding the possibility of early
access to innovative medical treatments not yet the subject of a Marketing Authorization (regulatory approval) through named-patient
use, compassionate use, expanded access and hospital exemption, (b) patient and physician outreach related to a patient-physician platform,
(c) the securing of Early Access Approvals (exemptions and/or waivers required by regulatory authorities for medical treatments prior
to Marketing Authorization) for the use of such treatments, (d) the distribution and sale of such treatments pursuant to such Early Access
Approvals, (e) pharmacovigilance (drug safety) activities and/or (f) the collection of data such as patient-reported outcomes, doctor-reported
experiences and registry data. We are supporting these efforts and have supplied Ampligen to myTomorrows at a predetermined transfer
price. In the event that we receive Marketing Authorization in any country in the Territory, we will pay myTomorrows a royalty on products
sold. Pursuant to the Impatients Agreement, the royalty would be a percentage of Net Sales (as defined in the Impatients Agreement) of
Ampligen sold in the Territory where Marketing Authorization was obtained. The formula to determine the percentage of Net Sales will
be based on the number of patients that are entered into the EAP. We believe that disclosure of the exact maximum royalty rate and royalty
termination date could cause competitive harm. However, to assist the public in gauging these terms, the actual maximum royalty rate
is somewhere between 2% and 10% and the royalty termination date is somewhere between five and fifteen years from the First Commercial
Sale of a product within a specific country. The parties established a Joint Steering Committee comprised of representatives of both
parties to oversee the EAP. No assurance can be given that activities under the EAP will result in Marketing Authorization or the sale
of substantial amounts of Ampligen in the Territory. The agreement was automatically extended for a period of 12 months on May 20, 2021;
has been automatically extended for 12 months on each subsequent May 20; and will continue to be automatically extended for periods of
12 months every May 20 until terminated or the terms of the agreement are met.
In
January 2017, ANMAT granted a five-year extension to a previous approval to sell and distribute Alferon N Injection (under the brand
name “Naturaferon”) in Argentina. This extended the approval until 2022. A request to extend the approval beyond 2022 has
been filed and is still under review. In February 2013, we received ANMAT approval for the treatment of refractory patients that failed
or were intolerant to treatment with recombinant interferon. GP Pharm now renamed Filaxis has decided not to move forward with this project
and has sent us a notice of termination for this project. However, as there are numerous companies in Argentina now providing patients
treatment with recombinant interferon, we believe these companies and their patients would benefit greatly from having the opportunity
to treat those refractory patients with Naturaferon. We are continuing to seek out potential partners to move this project forward in
the near future.
In
January 2017, the EAP through our agreement with myTomorrows designed to enable access of Ampligen to ME/CFS patients was extended to
pancreatic cancer patients beginning in the Netherlands. myTomorrows is our exclusive service provider in the Territory and will manage
all EAP activities relating to the pancreatic cancer extension of the program.
In
August 2017, we extended our agreement with Asembia LLC, formerly Armada Healthcare, LLC, to undertake the marketing, education and sales
of Alferon N Injection throughout the United States. This agreement has expired. We were in discussions with Asembia about the possibility
of continuing the relationship, while also exploring the possibility of working with other similar companies. However, we still do not
foresee an immediate need for this service and continue to push this search further out in our expected timeline.
In
February 2018, we signed an amendment to the EAP with myTomorrows. This amendment extended the Territory to cover Canada to treat pancreatic
cancer patients, pending government approval. In March 2018, we signed an amendment to the EAP with myTomorrows, pursuant to which myTomorrows
will be our exclusive service provider for special access activities in Canada
for the supply of Ampligen for the treatment of ME/CFS.
36
In
December 2020, we entered into a signed Letter of Agreement with myTomorrows for the delivery of Ampligen for the treatment of up to
16 pancreatic cancer patients. In November 2021, we entered into a signed Letter of Agreement with myTomorrows for the delivery of Ampligen
for the treatment of up to an additional 5 pancreatic cancer patients. In March 2022, we entered into a signed Letter of Agreement with
myTomorrows for the delivery of Ampligen for the treatment of up to an additional 10 pancreatic cancer patients. In November 2022, we
entered into a signed Letter of Agreement with myTomorrows for the delivery of Ampligen for the treatment of up to an additional 10 pancreatic
cancer patients.
401(k)
Plan
We
have a defined contribution plan, entitled the AIM ImmunoTech Employees 401(k) Plan and Trust Agreement (the “401(k) Plan”).
Our full-time employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan following 61 days of employment. Subject to certain limitations
imposed by federal tax laws, participants are eligible to contribute up to 15% of their salary (including bonuses and/or commissions)
per annum. Participants’ contributions to the 401(k) Plan may be matched by us at a rate determined annually by the Board of Directors.
Each
participant immediately vests in his or her deferred salary contributions as well as our safe harbor contributions. A 6% safe harbor
matching contribution by us was reinstated effective January 1, 2021. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025 we made
approximately $87,000 in contributions, and for the year ending December 31, 2024 approximately $167,000 in contributions were
made.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
There
have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in Part II; Item 7: “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Three
months ended September 30, 2025 versus three months ended September 30, 2024
Net
Loss
Our
net loss was approximately $3,284,000 and $3,700,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, representing
a decreased loss of approximately $416,000 or 11%. This loss decrease was primarily due to the following:
●
an increase in interest
and other income of $2,334,000
●
a decrease in general and
administrative expenses of $1,281,000,
●
a decrease in research
and development expenses of $830,000,
●
a positive increase in
warrant valuations of $670,000, and
●
a decrease in interest
expense and other finance costs of $54,000.
These improvements were offset by:
●
Losses recognized from warrant issuances of $4,410,000
●
a decrease in gain on investments of $274,000,
●
an increase in production costs of $60,000, and
●
a decrease in revenue of $9,000.
Net
loss per share was $(1.57) and $(6.00) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The weighted average
number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, was 2,093,446 as compared to 1,195,439 as of September
30, 2024.
37
Revenues
Revenues
from our Ampligen® Cost Recovery Program were $26,000 and $35,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively,
representing a decrease of $9,000 which is primarily related to the fluctuation of patient participation.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had no Alferon N Injection® Finished Good product to commercially sell and
all revenue was generated from the EAP and our FDA approved open-label treatment protocol, (“AMP 511”), that allows patient
access to Ampligen® for treatment in an open-label safety study.
Interest
and Other Income
Interest
and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was approximately $3,052,000 and $718,000, respectively, reflecting
an increase of approximately $2,334,000. The increase was primarily due to an agreement reached with a vendor surrounding legal fees.
The agreement provided that $3,041,000 of previously billed fees would be forgiven in exchange for payments totaling $1,875,000.
Gain
(loss) on Investments, net
Gain
(loss) on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was approximately ($1,000) and $273,000, respectively, reflecting
decrease of approximately $274,000. The decrease was primarily due to the change in the fair value of equity investments.
Production
Costs
Production
costs were approximately $68,000 and $8,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, representing an increase
of $60,000. This related to increased production activities for the three months ended 2025 when compared to the
quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and Development (“R&D”) costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $607,000, as compared
to $1,437,000 for the same period a year ago, reflecting a decrease of approximately $830,000. The decrease in R&D costs was a combination
of decreased clinical expenses of $273,000, decreased manufacturing costs of $249,000, decreased quality control costs of $177,000 and
decreased regulatory costs of $131,000.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were approximately $1,798,000
and $3,079,000, respectively, reflecting a decrease of approximately $1,281,000. The decrease in G&A expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2025 was the result of ongoing cost cutting measures by the Company in an effort to improve efficiencies and reduce
costs with the largest reductions relating to legal fees.
Interest
Expenses
Interest
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $148,000 compared with $202,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2024. Interest expense was lower due to principal reductions over the period.
Warrant issuances
On July 31, 2025, we
announced the closing of the above public offering of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (or pre-funded warrants in
lieu thereof), Class E warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, and Class F warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares
of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $4.00 per share (or $3.999 per pre-funded warrant) and accompanying warrants.
The warrants will have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, and were exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Class E warrants will
expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date, and the Class F warrants will expire on the eighteen-month anniversary
of the original issuance date. Gross proceeds, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, were approximately $8,000,000.
Maxim Group LLC acted as sole placement agent in connection with this offering.
Based on a review of the Class
E and F warrants, it was determined that the warrants met the liability criteria described in Accounting Standards Codification 480. Accordingly,
as the warrants might require us to issue additional stock under certain circumstances, a loss was recognized and the resulting
computed value was classified as a liability on our balance sheet at September 30, 2025.
Nine
months ended September 30, 2025 versus nine months ended September 30, 2024
Net
Loss
Our
net loss was approximately $9,783,000 and $11,353,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, representing
a decrease in loss of approximately $1,570,000 or 14%. This decrease in loss was primarily due to the following:
● a
decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3,655,000,
● a
decrease in research and development expenses of $1,672,000,
● a
decrease in interest expense and finance costs of $32,000, and
● an increase in warrant valuation of $670,000.
These improvements were offset by:
● losses recognized from warrant issuances of $4,410,000
● a
decrease in interest and other income of $306,000,
● a
decrease in gain on investments of 79,000,
● an
increase in production costs of $64,000, and
● a
decrease in revenue of $58,000.
38
Net
loss per share was $(8.18) and $(21.00) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The weighted average
number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, was 1,195,439 as compared to 533,514 as of September
30, 2024.
Revenues
Revenues
from our Ampligen® Cost Recovery Program were $67,000 and $125,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively,
representing a decrease of $58,000 which is primarily related to the fluctuation of patient participation.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had no Alferon N Injection® Finished Good product to commercially sell and
all revenue was generated from the EAP and our FDA approved open-label treatment protocol, (“AMP 511”), that allows patient
access to Ampligen® for treatment in an open-label safety study.
Interest
and Other Income
Interest
and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 was approximately $3,073,000 and $3,379,000, respectively, reflecting
a decrease of approximately $306,000. During the third quarter of 2025, we reached an agreement with a vendor surrounding legal
fees. The agreement provided that $3,041,000 of previously billed fees would be forgiven in exchange for payments totaling $1,875,000.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recovered $2,500,000 of Director and Officer (D&O) insurance originating from
legal costs related to shareholder litigation matters. Additionally, in September 2024 an amendment to an original agreement with a vendor
clarifying and changing the nature of a remaining execution fee of $725,437. The amendment allowed that the remainder would not be exclusive
to the original agreement, that the nature of the payment changed from an execution fee to a fully refundable deposit, and that it could
be applied to any invoice upon mutual agreement of the parties, removed the threshold contingencies, and if such invoices were not sufficient
to exhaust the balance, that the refund would be refunded in cash.
Gain
(loss) on Investments, net
Gains on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 were
approximately $17,000 and $95,000, respectively, reflecting a decrease in the gain on investments of approximately $79,000. The decrease
primarily resulted from a change in the fair value of equity investments.
Production
Costs
Production costs were approximately $88,000 and $24,000, respectively,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, representing an increase of $64,000.
Research
and Development Costs
Overall
Research and Development (“R&D”) costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were approximately $2,861,000, as
compared to $4,533,000 for September 30, 2024, reflecting a decrease of approximately $1,672,000. The components of the decrease consisted
of decreases in clinical costs of $244,000, manufacturing cost decreases of $501,000, quality control cost decreases of $547,000 and
regulatory decreases of $380,000.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, were approximately $5,830,000
and $9,485,000, respectively, reflecting a decrease of approximately $3,655,000. The decrease in G&A expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2025 was the result of ongoing cost cutting measures by us in an effort to improve efficiencies and reduce
costs with the largest reductions relating to legal fees.
39
Interest
Expenses
Interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $421,000 compared with $453,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2024. Interest expense was lower due to principal reductions over the period.
Warrant issuances
On July 31, 2025, we announced the closing of the above public offering
of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof), Class E warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000
shares of common stock, and Class F warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, at a combined public offering price of
$4.00 per share (or $3.999 per pre-funded warrant) and accompanying warrants. The warrants will have an exercise price of $4.00 per share,
and were exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Class E warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date,
and the Class F warrants will expire on the eighteen-month anniversary of the original issuance date. Gross proceeds, before deducting
placement agent fees and offering expenses, were approximately $8,000,000. Maxim Group LLC acted as sole placement agent in connection
with this offering.
Based on review of the agreement, it was determined that the warrants met
the liability criteria as described in Accounting Standards Codification 480. As such, a loss was recognized and the resulting computed
value was classified as a liability on our balance sheet at September 30, 2025 as the warrants might require us to issue additional stock
under certain circumstances. While the warrants met the technical requirements of the accounting standard, the ultimate redemption of
the warrants will not require any cash expenditure or transfer or assets by us. Any warrant exercises would result in additional cash
and equity to us because we have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available to satisfy the warrant exercises in shares.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
was approximately $8,971,000 compared to approximately $10,933,000 for the same period in 2024, a decrease of $1,962,000. The primary
reasons for this decrease in cash used in operations in 2025 was primarily due to the decreased net loss for the period.
Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025
was approximately $1,948,000 compared to approximately $1,002,000 for the same period in 2024, an increase of $946,000. The primary reason
for the change during the current period is an increase in proceeds from the sale of marketable investments of $725,000.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
was approximately $7,669,000 compared to approximately $5,407,000 for the same period in 2024, an increase of $2,262,000. The increase
primarily resulted from the issuance of warrants which generated approximately $8,000,000 of positive cash flow for us.
Our principal source of
liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and proceeds from financing activities to provide the necessary funding
to meet our obligations as they become due. As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $2,409,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
investments, inclusive of approximately $62,000 in marketable investments, representing a decrease of approximately $1,568,000 from December
31, 2024.
We have incurred losses from operations as of September 30, 2025, and have a working
capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least
one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. On September 30,
2025, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1,468,000 which raised doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Additionally, at September 30, 2025, our stockholders’ equity was below the minimum requirements for continued
listing on the Exchange. See “Potential Delisting from the Exchange” below.
40
These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern
for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management
evaluated the conditions, and the significance of these conditions related to our ability to meet our obligations. If we are unable to
implement sufficient mitigation efforts, we may need to limit our business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which
would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
During the third quarter of 2025,
an agreement was reached with a vendor surrounding legal fees. The agreement provided that $3,041,000 of previously billed fees would
be forgiven in exchange for payments totaling $1,875,000. The reduction was included as “other income” and accounts payable
was reduced.
On September 6, 2024, an amendment
to an agreement dated April 7, 2022, was executed by us and Amarex clarifying and changing the nature of a remaining execution fee of
$725,437. The amendment allowed that the remainder would not be exclusive to the agreement dated on April 7, 2022, that the nature of
the payment changed from an execution fee to a fully refundable deposit, and that it could be applied to any invoice upon mutual agreement
of the parties, removed the threshold contingencies, and if such invoices were not sufficient to exhaust the balance, that the refund
would be refunded in cash. Due to the changes brought about by the amendment, the nature of the payment changed to deposit status. At
September 30, 2025, we had an outstanding deposit of $240,000 which may be used to offset future clinical research expenditures. This
deposit is listed as a non-current asset on the balance sheet but could provide working capital if the timing of expenditures are realized
within the next 12 months.
On April 4, 2025, trading of our common stock was suspended by Exchange. Leading up to this event, we and Streeterville (the “Lender”)
were in regular communication, and both parties acknowledged the possibility of such an occurrence. On May 13, 2025, the Lender and the
Borrower entered into a Forbearance Agreement pursuant to which, for a 1% fee and expenses, the Lender released the Borrower and its affiliates
from all defaults under the Agreements through the date of the Forbearance Agreement and confirmed that, as a result, no Default Interest
is due, with no effect on liquidity. The outstanding balance of the Note, following the application for the Forbearance Fee, was $2,484,000.
As a research
and development company, we are conducting research necessary to bring our product, Ampligen, to market. As such, we primarily rely
on financing activities to provide the necessary funding to meet our obligations as they become due. AIM has a long and
demonstrated history of success in these efforts, however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in attaining the
necessary funding in the future.
Potential
Delisting from the Exchange .
On
December 11, 2024, we received an official notice of noncompliance with the Exchange’s continued listing requirements. This
includes the need for us to have stockholders’ equity of $6,000,000 or more, given we have had 5 years of operating losses. As
required, we submitted a plan (the “Plan”) to the Exchange illustrating our plan to regain compliance by June 11, 2026.
The Plan includes a number of capital formation initiatives. The Exchange accepted our Plan on February 26, 2025. However, if we are
not able to regain compliance by June 11, 2026, our common stock may be suspended and subject to delisting from the Exchange. As of
September 30, 2025, our stockholders’ deficit was approximately ($6,077,000). We must increase our stockholders’
equity to be at least $6,000,000 to regain compliance with this rule. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital as set forth in
the Plan or by other means, we may be unable to regain compliance with the Exchange’s listing standards and our securities
could be subject to delisting. In the event that the price of our common stock drops to $0.10 per share, our common stock will
automatically be suspended and subject to delisting from the Exchange. The price of our common stock dropped below $0.10 and on
April 4, 2025, and we received a delisting letter from the Exchange and trading in our common stock on the Exchange was suspended.
We sought a review of the delisting and were granted a hearing held on June 5, 2025.
On
April 30, 2025, we held a special meeting of stockholders to approve a series of alternate amendments to our Certificate of
Incorporation to effect, at the option of our Board of Directors, a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock at a ratio
in the range of up to 1-for-100, with such ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. At that meeting,
stockholders approved the measure. On June 10, 2025, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation effecting a reverse
split of our outstanding shares of common stock on a one-for-100 basis (the “Reverse Split”). This did not affect the
number of authorized shares.
On June 11, 2025,
we were notified by the Exchange that we had regained compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Exchange’s Company Guide (low
selling price) and that trading on our Common Stock was reinstated on the Exchange on June 17, 2025 under the ticker symbol “AIM”.

Universal
Shelf Registration Statement and At-The-Market Offering with Maxim
We
filed a Universal Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC in April 2025 registering
the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to $100,000,000 of our common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts, warrants, subscriptions
rights, depositary shares, debt securities and/or units. This Registration Statement has not been declared effective yet.
We
have entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), dated
April 1, 2025, pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 of shares of our common stock under the Registration
Statement from time to time through Maxim acting as agent, subject to certain limitations, as set forth therein and below. Upon delivery
of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Maxim may sell shares of our common stock by any
method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” equity offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities
Act, including sales made directly on or through the Exchange, the existing trading market for our common stock, sales made to or
through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated
transactions.
Under
the terms of the Sales Agreement, in no event will we issue or sell such number or dollar amount of shares of common stock that would
(i) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of common stock registered and available on the Registration Statement, (ii) exceed
the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, (iii) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of common stock permitted
to be sold under Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 thereof, if applicable), or (iv) exceed the number or dollar amount of
common stock for which we will file a prospectus to the Registration Statement.
Each
time we wish to issue and sell common stock under the Sales Agreement, we will notify Maxim of the number of shares to be issued, the
dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and other sales parameters
as we deem appropriate. Once we have so instructed Maxim, unless Maxim declines to accept the terms of the notice, Maxim has agreed to
use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified
on such terms. The obligations of Maxim under the Sales Agreement to sell our common stock are subject to a number of conditions that
we must satisfy.
We
will pay Maxim in cash, upon each sale of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, a commission in an amount equal to 3.0% of
the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of our common stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition
to this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.
We have agreed, under certain circumstances, to reimburse a portion of Maxim’ s expenses, including legal fees, in connection with
the establishment of this offering up to a maximum of $50,000, and $5,000 on a quarterly basis thereafter. We estimate that the total
expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and expense reimbursement payable to Maxim under the terms of the Equity Distribution
Agreement, will be approximately $54,000.
Settlement
for sales of common stock will occur on the business day following the date or the standard settlement period at the date on which any
sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Maxim in connection with a particular transaction, in return for
payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. Sales
of our common stock as contemplated in the prospectus that will be filed to cover the offering will be settled through the facilities
of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Maxim may agree upon.
Maxim
will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable
state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Exchange. In connection with the sale of the common stock on
our behalf, Maxim will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of
Maxim will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Maxim
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The
offering of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the issuance and sale of all shares
of our common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) 24 months from the execution of the Sales Agreement or (iii) the termination
of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein.
42
Maxim
and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our
affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, Maxim will not
engage in any market making activities involving our common stock while the offering is ongoing under pursuant to the prospectus to be
filed covering the offering.
The
shares under the sales agreement will only be offered after a prospectus related to such offering is filed with the SEC. If and when
the shares are offered, they will be offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286319), which was
declared effective on July 3, 2025.
Atlas
Equity Line of Credit (Equity Purchase Agreement)
On
March 28, 2024, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”) with Atlas Sciences, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Atlas”), pursuant
to which Atlas has committed to purchase up to $15,000,000 of our common stock.
Under
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Atlas, and
Atlas is obligated to purchase up to $15,000,000 of our common stock (the “Commitment Amount”). Such sales by us, if
any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at our sole discretion, over the 24-month period
commencing on the date that a registration statement covering the resale of shares that have been and may be issued under the
Purchase Agreement. We agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Sales
cannot commence until the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is
filed and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied. The registration statement was declared effective
on May 1, 2024, and the final prospectus was filed.
Atlas
has no right to require us to sell any shares to Atlas, but Atlas is obligated to make purchases as we direct, subject to certain conditions.
There are no upper limits on the price per share that Atlas must pay for shares of common stock. Actual sales of shares to Atlas will
depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price
of the common stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for us and our operations.
The
net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares to Atlas. We expect that any
proceeds received by us will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
We
cannot sell shares below the Minimum Price (as defined by the Exchange) under the Purchase Agreement that would represent, in the
aggregate, more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares on the date that the Purchase Agreement was executed. Before we could do that,
we would need to obtain stockholder approval.
We
have agreed with Atlas that we will not enter into any “variable rate” transactions with any third party for a period defined
in the Purchase Agreement. Atlas has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling
or hedging of our shares.
As
consideration for Atlas’s irrevocable commitment to purchase shares upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay Atlas an initial commitment fee in shares
equal to 1.0% of the Commitment Amount. The initial commitment fee was paid upon execution of the Purchase Agreement through the issuance
of 3,386 shares of common stock.
The
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification
obligations of the parties. We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty.
During
any period where bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for
relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted or anticipated by or against us or any of our
subsidiaries, and in the case of such a proceeding being involuntary or commenced against us, which is not dismissed within 60 days,
we may not initiate any purchase of shares by Atlas.
The
representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific
dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting
parties. The foregoing descriptions of the Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of these Agreements
which were filed as exhibits 10.104 and 10.105 to our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
43
As
of December 31, 2024, a total of 7,596 shares have been issued pursuant to the purchase agreement for a total of approximately $128,000
after clearing costs. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 30,829 shares have been issued pursuant to the purchase agreement for a total
of approximately $398,000 after clearing costs. There were no shares issued subsequent to September 30, 2025.
Securities
Purchase Agreement
May
2024 Securities Purchase Agreement
On
May 31, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to complete an offering (the “Transactions”)
with a single accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which, on June 3, 2024, we issued to the Purchaser, (i)
in a registered direct offering, 56,410 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.001 per share (“common
stock”) and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, we issued to the Purchaser Class A common warrants to purchase an aggregate
of up to 56,410 shares of our common stock (the “A Warrants”) at an exercise price of $36.30 per share and Class B common
warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 56,410 shares of our common stock (the “B “Warrants” and, along with the
A Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) at an exercise price of $36.30 per share. The A Warrants and B Warrants are not exercisable
for six months after the issuance date and expire, respectively, five years and six months and twenty-four months after the issuance
date. The Common Warrants and the shares of common stock are issuable upon the exercise of such warrants are offered pursuant to an exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated
thereunder.
The
Shares were offered by us pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262280), which was declared effective
on February 4, 2022.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, we could not issue any equity securities for 60 days following
the issuance date, provided that we were able to utilize our at-the-market offering program with the Placement Agent after 30 days. Additionally,
we cannot enter into a variable rate transaction (other than the ATM program with the Placement Agent) for 120 days after the issuance
date. In addition, our executive officers and each of our directors have entered into lock-up agreements with us pursuant to which each
of them has agreed not to, for a period of 90 days from the closing of the Transactions, offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
our securities, subject to certain exceptions.
The
exercise price of the Common Warrants, and the number of Common Warrant Shares, are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend
or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Common Warrants. If a Fundamental
Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrants) occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may
exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the Common Warrants with the same effect
as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. Common Warrant Holders will have additional rights defined in the Common
Warrants. The Common Warrants are exercisable on a “cashless” basis only if there is not a current registration statement
permitting public resale. In this regard, we filed a registration statement to register the resale of the Common Warrant Shares providing
for the resale of the Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants. That registration statement was declared effective
by the SEC on July 11, 2024. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to keep such
registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
Maxim
Group LLC acted as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on a “commercially reasonable best efforts” basis,
in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, dated May 31, 2024 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”),
by and between us and the Placement Agent. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent was paid a cash fee of 8%
of the aggregate gross proceeds paid to us for the securities sold in the Transactions and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses.
We
evaluated the Common Warrants under the guidance of ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that they were
in scope under the guidance as freestanding financial instruments but did not meet the criteria for liability classification and are
classified as equity within the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds allocated to such warrants totaled approximately $2,500,000.
For the nine months ended September 30,2025, no Common Warrants were exercised, and all remain outstanding on September 30, 2025, related
to this agreement.
September
2024 Securities Purchase Agreement
On
September 30, 2024, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder as Purchaser, pursuant to which we issued to the
Selling Stockholder, (i) in a registered direct offering, 46,530 shares of our common stock (“Shares”) and (ii) in the concurrent
Private Placement, Class C and Class D Warrants, each to purchase an aggregate of up to 46,530 Shares (the “Common Warrant Shares”)
each with an exercise price of $28.00. The Class C and Class D Warrants together, hereinafter the “Common Warrants”. The
purchase price for Shares in the registered direct offering was $28.00 per Share.
We
received aggregate gross proceeds from the Transactions of approximately $1,260,000, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent and
other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The Shares were offered by us pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-262280), which was declared effective on February 4, 2022. The Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares issued in
the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act. Rather the Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares were issued
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
The Class C Warrants and the Class D Warrants are not exercisable until December 3, 2024, and will expire, respectively, twenty-four
months and five years and six months after that date.
44
We
evaluated the Common Warrants under the guidance of ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and determined that they were
in scope under the guidance as freestanding financial instruments but did not meet the criteria for liability classification and are
classified as equity within the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds allocated to such warrants totaled approximately $2,500,000.
For the nine months ended September 30,2025, no Common Warrants were exercised, and all remain outstanding on September 30, 2025, related
to this agreement.
Public
Offering on a Registration Statement on Form S-1
On
July 31, 2025, we announced the closing of our public offering of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (or pre-funded
warrants in lieu thereof), Class E warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, and Class F warrants to purchase up to
2,000,000 shares of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $4.00 per share (or $3.999 per pre-funded warrant) and accompanying
warrants. The warrants will have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, and were exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Class E warrants
will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date, and the Class F warrants will expire on the eighteen-month anniversary
of the original issuance date. Gross proceeds, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, were approximately $8,000,000.
Maxim Group LLC acted as sole placement agent in connection with this offering.
Based
on review of the Class E and F Warrants, it was determined that the warrants met the liability criteria as described in Accounting Standards
Codification 480. As such, a loss was recognized and the resulting computed value was classified as a liability on the Company’s
balance sheet at September 30, 2025 as the warrants might require the Company to issue additional stock under certain circumstances.
While the warrants met the technical requirements of the accounting standard, the ultimate redemption of the warrants will not require
any cash expenditure or transfer of assets by the Company. Any warrant exercises would result in additional cash and equity to the Company
because the Company has a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares available to satisfy the warrant exercises in shares.
NYSE
American Continued Listing Requirements
To
maintain our listing on the NYSE American (the “Exchange”), among other things, we are required to maintain Stockholders
Equity of $6,000,000 or we may receive a warning or a delisting notice.
If
the common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact us by (i) reducing the liquidity and market
price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the common stock, which could negatively
impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable
securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives
to our employees.

4: Controls and Procedures
Our
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) performed an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures, which have been designed to permit us to effectively identify and timely disclose important
information. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation,
our CEO and CFO concluded that the controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, to ensure that material information
was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, is appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we made no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ImmunoTech, Inc. v. Tudor, et al., in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Ocala Division, Case No. 5:2022cv00323.
On
April 22, 2024, the District Court issued an order granting-in-part Lautz and Jorgl’s Rule 59(e) and Rule 11 motions, respectively.
The court entered an order finding Jorgl and Lautz were entitled to recover attorney’s fees and costs and entered judgment on behalf
of Jorgl for $216,936, and on behalf of Lautz for $76,473. AIM has appealed these judgments to the United States Court of Appeals for
the Eleventh Circuit and secured a stay of the enforcement of the judgment spending the 11th Circuit Appeal. AIM’s appeal does
not seek damages. On June 18, 2024, The Carlyle Appellate Law firm was engaged for the above referenced appeal. The Carlyle Appellate
Law firm has since filed a notice of appearance in that matter. AIM is exposed in this matter for the amount of those Judgments (which
have been bonded by AIM), interest on those judgements, as well as potentially paying attorney’s fees in the event the appeal is
unsuccessful AIM filed its initial brief on September 4, 2024. The parties attended mediation on November 5, 2024. The parties did not
reach an agreement, and mediation impassed. After mediation, Appellees filed answer briefs and Jorgl and Lautz filed motions for sanctions
seeking reimbursement of appellants Attorney’s fees. The appeal and Appellees ‘motions are fully briefed. A bond in the amount
of $366,762.11 was posted by AIM for the sanctions to the court on behalf of AIM and counsel on June 21, 2024, pending the appeal . On
April 4, 2025, the Appellate court upheld the decision of the lower court and the funds for the which were held in escrow were disbursed
in accordance with the ruling. After the funds were disbursed in the amount of $292,180.73 the court returned $74,581.38 to AIM on June
5, 2025. The matter is now concluded
