We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company with a potential therapy that has not been fully evaluated in clinical trials,

and our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including but not

limited to the absence of an operating history, the lack of commercialized products, insufficient capital, expected substantial

and continual losses for the foreseeable future, limited experience in dealing with regulatory issues, the lack of manufacturing

experience and limited marketing experience, possible reliance on third parties for the development and commercialization of our

proposed products, a competitive environment characterized by numerous, well-established and well capitalized competitors and reliance

on key personnel.

Since inception, we have not established any

revenues or operations that shall provide financial stability in the long term, and there can be no assurance that we will realize

our plans on our projected timetable in order to reach sustainable or profitable operations.

We have not emerged from the development stage, and may be unable to raise further equity.

These factors raise substantial

doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result

from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Because we are subject to these risks, you

may have a difficult time evaluating our business and your investment in our Company.

Our ability to become profitable depends

primarily on our ability to develop drugs, to obtain approval for such drugs, and if approved, to successfully commercialize our

drugs, our research and development (“R&D”) efforts, including the timing and cost of clinical trials;

Even if we successfully develop and market

BIV201, we may not generate sufficient or sustainable revenue to achieve or sustain profitability, which could cause us to cease

operations and cause you to lose all of your investment.

If the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory

authorities approve generic versions of any of our products that receive marketing approval, or such authorities do not grant our

products appropriate periods of exclusivity before approving generic versions of our products, the sales of our products could

be adversely affected.

Once a new drug application (“NDA”)

is approved, the product covered thereby becomes a “reference listed drug”

in the FDA’s publication, “Approved

Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,”

commonly known as the Orange Book.

Manufacturers may seek approval

of generic versions of reference listed drugs through submission of abbreviated new drug applications (“ANDAs”) in

the United States.

In support of an ANDA, a generic manufacturer need not conduct clinical trials.

Rather, the applicant generally

must show that its product has the same active ingredient(s), dosage form, strength, route of administration and conditions of

use or labeling as the reference listed drug and that the generic version is bioequivalent to the reference listed drug, meaning

it is absorbed in the body at the same rate and to the same extent.

Generic products may be significantly less costly to bring

to market than the reference listed drug and companies that produce generic products are generally able to offer them at lower

Thus, following the introduction of a generic drug, a significant percentage of the sales of any branded product or reference

listed drug is typically lost to the generic product.

The FDA may not approve an ANDA for a generic

product until any applicable period of non-patent exclusivity for the reference listed drug has expired.

The United States Federal

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) provides a period of five years of non-patent exclusivity for a new drug containing

a new chemical entity (“NCE”).

Specifically, in cases where such exclusivity has been granted, an ANDA may not be submitted

to the FDA until the expiration of five years unless the submission is accompanied by a Paragraph IV certification that a

patent covering the reference listed drug is either invalid or will not be infringed by the generic product, in which case the

applicant may submit its application four years following approval of the reference listed drug.

While we believe that BIV201 contains active

ingredients that would be treated as NCEs by the FDA and, therefore, if approved, should be afforded five years of data exclusivity,

the FDA may disagree with that conclusion and may approve generic products after a period that is less than five years.

FDA were to award NCE exclusivity to someone other than us, we believe that we would still be awarded three year “Other”

exclusivity protection from generic competition, which is awarded when an application or supplement contains reports of new clinical

investigations (not bioavailability studies) conducted or sponsored by an applicant and essential for approval.

Manufacturers may

seek to launch these generic products following the expiration of the applicable marketing exclusivity period, even if we still

have patent protection for our product.

If we do not maintain patent protection and data exclusivity for our product candidates,

our business may be materially harmed.

Competition that our products may face from

generic versions of our products could materially and adversely impact our future revenue, profitability and cash flows and substantially

limit our ability to obtain a return on the investments we have made in those product candidates.

If we fail to

obtain or maintain Orphan Drug exclusivity for BIV201, we will have to rely on our data and marketing exclusivity, if any, and

if we successfully develop and market BIV201 and/or NE3107, we may not generate sufficient or sustainable revenue to achieve or sustain

profitability, which could cause us to cease operations and cause you to lose all of your investment.

the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities approve generic versions of any of our product candidates that receive marketing

approval, or such authorities do not grant our products sufficient, or any, periods of exclusivity before approving generic versions

of our products, the sales of our products could be adversely affected.

a new drug application (NDA) is approved, the product covered thereby becomes a reference listed drug or

RLD, in the FDAs publication, Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as

the Orange Book.

Other manufacturers may seek approval of generic versions of reference listed drugs through submission of abbreviated

new drug applications (ANDAs) in the United States.

In support of an ANDA, a generic manufacturer need not conduct clinical

Rather, the applicant generally must show that its product has the same active ingredient(s), dosage form, strength, route of

administration and conditions of use or labeling as the reference listed drug and that the generic version is bioequivalent to the reference

listed drug, meaning it is absorbed in the body at the same rate and to the same extent as the RLD.

Generic products may be significantly

less costly to bring to market than the reference listed drug and companies that produce generic products are generally able to offer

them at lower prices.

Moreover, generic versions of RLDs are often automatically substituted for the RLD by pharmacies when dispensing

a prescription written for the RLD.

Thus, following the introduction of a generic drug, a significant percentage of the sales of any

branded product or reference listed drug is typically lost to the generic product.

FDA may not approve an ANDA for a generic product until any applicable period of non-patent exclusivity for the reference listed drug

The United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) provides a period of five years of non-patent

exclusivity for a new drug containing a new chemical entity (NCE).

An NCE is an active ingredient that has not previously

been approved by FDA in any other NDA.

Specifically, in cases where such exclusivity has been granted, an ANDA may not be submitted to

the FDA until the expiration of five years unless the submission is accompanied by a Paragraph IV certification that a patent covering

the reference listed drug is either invalid or will not be infringed by the generic product, in which case the applicant may submit its

application four years following approval of the reference listed drug.

If an ANDA is submitted to FDA with a Paragraph IV Certification,

the generic applicant must also provide a Paragraph IV Notification to the holder of the NDA for the RLD and to the owner

of the listed patent(s) being challenged by the ANDA applicant, providing a detailed written statement of the basis for the ANDA applicants

position that the relevant patent(s) is invalid or would not be infringed.

If the patent owner brings a patent infringement lawsuit against

the ANDA applicant within 45 days of the Paragraph IV Notification, FDA approval of the ANDA will be automatically stayed for 30 months,

or until 7-1/2 years after the NDA approval if the generic application was filed between 4 years and 5 years after the NDA approval.

Any such stay will be terminated earlier if the court rules that the patent is invalid or would not be infringed.

we believe that BIV201 contains an active ingredient, terlipressin, that would be treated as an NCE by the FDA and, therefore, if it

is the first terlipressin drug product to be approved, should be afforded NCE exclusivity, the FDA may disagree with that conclusion

and may approve generic products after a period that is less than five years.

If the FDA were to award NCE exclusivity to someone who

receives approval of a terlipressin drug product before us, we believe that we could still be awarded a different type of exclusivity

protection from generic competition, which is awarded when an NDA or supplemental NDA for a new use of a drug contains reports of new

clinical investigations (other than bioavailability studies) conducted or sponsored by an applicant and which FDA deems to have been

essential for approval of the application or supplement.

Such exclusivity prevents FDA approval of a generic version of the RLD for three

years from the date of the RLD approval.

Manufacturers may seek to launch generic products following the expiration of any applicable

marketing exclusivity period, even if we still have patent protection for our product and no 30-month stay is in effect.

maintain patent protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates, our business may be materially harmed.

that our products may face from generic versions of our products could materially and adversely impact our future revenue, profitability

and cash flows and substantially limit our ability to obtain a return on the investments we have made in those product candidates.

we fail to obtain or maintain Orphan Drug exclusivity for BIV201, we will have to rely on other potential marketing exclusivity, and

on our intellectual property rights, which may reduce the length of time that we can prevent competitors from selling generic versions

We have obtained Orphan Drug designation for

BIV201 in the U.S.

for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (received November 21, 2018) and treatment of ascites due to all etiologies

except cancer (received September 8, 2016).

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an Orphan Drug if it

is a drug intended to treat a rare disease or condition, defined, in part, as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 in the

In the EU, Orphan Drug designation may be granted to drugs intended to treat, diagnose or prevent a life-threatening or chronically

debilitating disease having a prevalence of no more than five in 10,000 people in the EU.

We have obtained two Orphan Drug Designations for BIV201 (terlipressin) in the U.S., one for the treatment of

hepatorenal syndrome (received November 21, 2018) and another for treatment of ascites due to all etiologies except cancer (received

September 8, 2016).

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an Orphan Drug if it is a drug intended to treat a

rare disease or condition, defined, in part, as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 in the U.S.

In the EU, Orphan Drug designation

may be granted to drugs intended to treat, diagnose or prevent a life-threatening or chronically debilitating disease having a prevalence

of no more than five in 10,000 people in the EU, and which meet other specified criteria.

The company that first obtains FDA approval

for a designated Orphan Drug for the associated rare disease receives marketing exclusivity for use of that drug for the stated

condition for a period of seven years.

for a designated Orphan Drug for the associated rare disease may receive a seven year period of marketing exclusivity during which time

FDA may not approve another application for the same drug for the same orphan disease or condition.

Orphan Drug Exclusivity does not

prevent FDA approval of another application for the same drug for a different disease or condition, or of an application for a different

drug for the same rare disease or condition.

Orphan Drug exclusive marketing rights may be lost under several circumstances, including

a later determination by the FDA that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to

assure sufficient quantity of the drug.

a later determination by the FDA that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure

sufficient quantity of the drug.

Similar regulations are available in the EU with a ten-year period of market exclusivity.

Even though BioVie has obtained two Orphan

Drug designations for its lead product candidate, there is no assurance that BioVie will be the first to obtain marketing approval

for any particular rare indication.

Further, even though BioVie has obtained Orphan Drug designation for its lead product candidate,

or even if BioVie obtains Orphan Drug designation for other potential product candidates, such designation may not effectively

protect BioVie from competition because different drugs can be approved for the same condition and the same drug can be approved

for different conditions and potentially used off-label in the Orphan indication.

Even after an Orphan Drug is approved, the FDA

can subsequently approve the same drug for the same condition for several reasons, including, if the FDA concludes that the later

drug is safer or more effective or makes a major contribution to patient care.

Orphan Drug designation neither shortens the development

time or regulatory review time of a drug, nor gives the drug any advantage in the regulatory review or approval process.

In addition, other companies have received

Orphan Drug designations for terlipressin.

Mallinckrodt Hospital Products IP Limited received Orphan Drug designation in 2004 for

terlipressin for the treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome and Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.

received Orphan Drug designation in 1986

for terlipressin for the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices.

If Mallinckrodt Hospital Products IP Limited receives FDA approval

for terlipressin for the treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome before we do, they may obtain a competitive advantage associated with

being the first to market.

Further, in connection with obtaining marketing approval for terlipressin for the treatment of Hepatorenal

Syndrome, Mallinckrodt Hospital Products IP Limited would also obtain Orphan Drug exclusivity for terlipressin, that could prevent

our approval for the same indication for seven years, although we could continue to pursue other indications for the drug.

If Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.

approval for terlipressin for the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices, they would also obtain a competitive advantage associated

with being the first to market.

In connection with obtaining marketing approval for terlipressin for the treatment of bleeding

esophageal varices, Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.

would also obtain Orphan Drug exclusivity for terlipressin, but we do not believe

that Orphan Drug exclusivity for Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s terlipressin product would have an adverse effect on our

ability to market BIV201, as the same drug would be approved for different indications under FDA rules, and we can maintain Orphan

Drug exclusivity for BIV201 for the different indication.

We will need to raise substantial additional

capital in the future to fund our operations and we may be unable to raise such funds when needed and on acceptable terms, which

Even though BioVie has obtained two Orphan Drug Designations for its lead product candidate, terlipressin, for

treatment of ascites and for treatment of hepatorenal syndrome, and may seek other Orphan Drug Designations for BIV201, and Orphan Drug

Designation for other product candidates, there is no assurance that BioVie will be the first to obtain marketing approval for any particular

rare indication.

Further, even though BioVie has obtained Orphan Drug Designations for its lead product candidate, or even if BioVie

obtains Orphan Drug Designation for other potential product candidates, such designation may not effectively protect BioVie from competition

because different drugs can be approved for the same condition and competing versions of the same drug can be approved for different

conditions and potentially used off-label in the Orphan indication.

Even after an Orphan Drug is approved, the FDA can subsequently approve

another competing drug with the same active ingredient for the same condition for several reasons, including, if the FDA concludes that

the later drug is clinically superior due to being safer or more effective or because it makes a major contribution to patient care.

Orphan Drug Designation neither shortens the development time or regulatory review time of a drug, nor gives the drug any advantage in

the regulatory review or approval process.

addition, other companies have received Orphan Drug designations for terlipressin.

Mallinckrodt Hospital Products IP Limited received

Orphan Drug designation in 2004 for terlipressin for the treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome.

Mallinckrodt has already filed an NDA for

its product, and the FDA convened an advisory committee meeting to discuss that application in 2020.

FDA then issued a complete response

letter declining to approved the NDA as filed based on safety concerns.

Mallinckrodt has reported that it has met twice with FDA since

the complete response letter, in October 2020 and January 2021 and plans to continue to engage FDA to seek a viable path to approval.

PharmaIN Corporation received Orphan Drug Designation in 2012 for PGC-C12E-terlipressin for treatment of ascites due to all etiologies

except cancer.

In addition, Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.

received Orphan Drug designation in 1986 for terlipressin for the treatment

of bleeding esophageal varices.

If one of those or any other company with Orphan Drug Designation for the same drug as ours for the same

proposed disease or condition receives FDA approval and Orphan Drug Exclusivity before our product is approved, approval of our drug(s)

for the orphan indication may be blocked for seven years by the other companys Orphan Exclusivity and they may obtain a competitive

advantage even after the exclusivity period expires associated with being the first to market.

needed and on acceptable terms, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

biopharmaceutical products, including conducting pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and establishing manufacturing capabilities,

requires substantial funding.

On June 10, 2021, the Company closed its Asset Purchase with NeurMedix, and Acuitas, which are related

party affiliates, to acquire certain assets from NeurMedix and assume certain liabilities of NeurMedix, in exchange for the consideration

of cash and common stock of the Company.

At the close the Company issued 8,361,308 shares of its common stock and made cash payments

of $2.3 million to the seller.

Other related cash expenditures for expenses such as the due diligence, legal fees and the fairness opinion

totaling $4 million was also paid.

These expenditures have a significant impact on the Companys cash position and the funding

of its future operations over the next 12 months, raising substantial doubt about its ability to meet its financial cash flow requirements.

Additional financing will be required to fund the research and development of our product candidates.

We have not generated any product

revenues, and do not expect to generate any revenues until, and only if, we develop, and receive approval to sell our product candidates

from the FDA and other regulatory authorities for our product candidates.

may not have the resources to complete the development and commercialization of any of our proposed product candidates.

We will require

additional financing to further the clinical development of our product candidates.

In the event that we cannot obtain the required financing,

we will be unable to complete the development necessary to file an NDA with the FDA for BIV201 or NE3107.

This will delay or require

termination of research and development programs, preclinical studies and clinical trials, material characterization studies, regulatory

processes, the establishment of our own laboratory or a search for third party marketing partners to market our products for us, which

could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Developing biopharmaceutical products, including

conducting pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and establishing manufacturing capabilities, requires substantial funding.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $37,000.

Although we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement

on September 24, 2019 with our controlling stockholder regarding a bridge financing in the form of up to $2.0 million in convertible

debt and warrants, of which approximately $1.3 million has been drawn as of June 30, 2020, additional financing will be required

to fund the research and development of our product candidates.

We have not generated any product revenues, and do not expect to

generate any revenues until, and only if, we develop, and receive approval to sell our product candidates from the FDA and other

regulatory authorities for our product candidates.

We may not have the resources to complete the

We will require additional financing to further the

clinical development of our product candidates.

In the event that we cannot obtain the required financing, we will be unable to

This will delay research and development programs, preclinical

studies and clinical trials, material characterization studies, regulatory processes, the establishment of our own laboratory or

a search for third party marketing partners to market our products for us, which could have a materially adverse effect on our

The amount of capital we may need will depend

on many factors, including the progress, timing and scope of our research and development programs, the progress, timing and scope

of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, the time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, the time and cost necessary

to establish our own marketing capabilities or to seek marketing partners, the time and cost necessary to respond to technological

and market developments, changes made or new developments in our existing collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships,

and new collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships that we may establish.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of

product revenue, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs, through public or private equity offerings, debt financings,

or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements.

Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are

acceptable to us, or at all.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate

one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts.

In addition, we could be forced to discontinue

product development and reduce or forego attractive business opportunities.

To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing

equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional significant dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve

restrictive covenants.

To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be

necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable

We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an

immediate need for additional capital at that time.

Our fixed expenses, such as rent and other

contractual commitments, will likely increase in the future, as we may enter into leases for new facilities and capital equipment

and/or enter into additional licenses and collaborative agreements.

Therefore, if we fail to raise substantial additional capital

to fund these expenses, we could be forced to cease operations, which could cause you to lose all of your investment.

We have limited experience in drug development

Development of pharmaceutical products

is a time-consuming process, subject to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.

Consequently, if we are

unsuccessful or fail to timely develop new drugs, we could be forced to discontinue our operations.

Our lead product candidate, BIV201, has been

cleared by the FDA to undergo testing in a mid-stage (Phase 2) clinical trial.

On June 18, 2019, we met with representatives of

the FDA for Type C Guidance Meeting to plan our next clinical study following the recently completed Phase 2a clinical trial.

discussed our clinical development program with the FDA and proposed safety and efficacy endpoints required for future marketing

In September, the FDA granted our Type B meeting request and committed to providing feedback in early 2020 for our proposed

clinical trial design.

We subsequently submitted a proposed clinical trial protocol to the FDA supported by a detailed meeting

information package.

In April 2020, we received the FDA’s written response to our Type B meeting questions which required

changes to our clinical trial design.

We then submitted a revised Phase 2 trial design and follow-up questions.

In June, we announced

lead product candidate, BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin), has been cleared by the FDA to undergo testing in a mid-stage (Phase

2b) clinical trial for treatment of ascites.

On June 24, 2021, we announced that the first patient has been enrolled in this study.

our Phase 2b study in ascites fails to generate sufficient evidence of effectiveness, or shows significant safety risks, we may not be

able to continue development of the product for that proposed use.

As reflected by the FDAs complete response letter to Malllinckrodts

new drug application (NDA) for terlipressin dosed as an intermittent IV bolus (1 or 2 mg every 6 hours) to treat hepatorenal syndrome

(HRS), terlipressin may cause significant toxicity when administered this way.

We believe that our continuous infusion approach to terlipressin

treatment may overcome some of those safety concerns, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to demonstrate acceptable safety

for BIV201 to the FDAs satisfaction.

On June 23, 2021, we announced that FDA has provided guidance on our planned Phase 3 clinical

trial of BIV201 in hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney syndrome, and that we plan to apply for a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) to gain

agreement on the key elements of the Phase 3 trial design prior to initiating the study.

If FDA declines to grant an SPA for this proposed

indication, we may still be able to proceed with our proposed study protocol, which will be subject to FDAs standard review process

upon submission of an NDA.

We may also fail to obtain FDA clearance to proceed with the study in our proposed form.

known as GMP regulations.

The R&D, manufacture and marketing of product

candidates are subject to regulation, primarily by the FDA in the United States and by comparable authorities in other countries.

These national agencies and other federal, state, local and foreign entities regulate, among other things, R&D activities (including

testing in animals and in humans) and the testing, manufacturing, handling, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising

and promotion of the product that we are developing.

Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in various adverse consequences,

including approval delays or refusals to approve drug licenses or other applications, suspension or termination of clinical investigations,

revocation of approvals previously granted, fines, criminal prosecution, recalls or seizures of products, injunctions against shipping

drugs and total or partial suspension of production and/or refusal to allow a company to enter into governmental supply contracts.

The process of obtaining FDA approval has historically

been costly and time consuming.

Current FDA requirements for a new human drug or biological product to be marketed in the United

States include:

(a) the successful conclusion of pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests, if appropriate, to gain preliminary

information on the product’s safety;

(b) filing with the FDA of an IND application to conduct human clinical trials for drugs

or biologics;

and efficacy of the product for its recommended use;

and (d) filing by a company and acceptance and approval by the FDA of a NDA

for a drug product or a biological license application (BLA) for a biological product to allow commercial distribution of the drug

A delay in one or more of the procedural steps outlined above could be harmful to us in terms of getting our product

candidates through clinical testing and to market, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

The FDA reviews the results of the clinical

trials and may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of clinical trials at any time if it believes the product candidate

exposes clinical subjects to an unacceptable health risk.

Investigational drugs used in clinical studies must be produced in compliance

with cGMP rules pursuant to FDA regulations.

Sales outside the United States of products

that we develop will also be subject to regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing for drugs and biological

products and devices.

The requirements vary widely from country to country, but typically the registration and approval process

takes several years and requires significant resources.

If we experience delays or discontinuations

of our clinical trials by the FDA or comparable authorities in other countries, or if we fail to obtain registration or other approvals

of our products or devices then we could be forced to cease our operations and you will lose all of your investment.

Even if we are successful in developing BIV201,

our product candidate, we have limited experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials that must be performed to obtain

data to submit in concert with applications for approval by the FDA.

The regulatory process to obtain approval for drugs for commercial

sale involves numerous steps.

Drugs are subjected to clinical trials that allow development of case studies to examine safety,

efficacy, and other issues to ensure that sale of drugs meets the requirements set forth by various governmental agencies, including

In the event that our protocols do not meet standards set forth by the FDA, or that our data is not sufficient to allow

such trials to validate our drugs in the face of such examination, we might not be able to meet the requirements that allow our

drugs to be approved for sale which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We can provide no assurance that our

product candidate will obtain regulatory approval or that the results of clinical studies will be favorable.

The business plan we have developed for the

next twenty-four months is to complete the Phase 2 clinical development program for our lead new product candidate BIV201, commence

In its decision, the PTAB determined that all claims of the 945 Patent were not patentable because they were either

anticipated or obvious in light of prior art.

The PTAB also denied our Motion to Amend the claims on similar grounds.

The result of the

PTABs decision is that the 945 patent is no longer valid or enforceable.

patent application 16/379,446 (a continuation application related to the 945

Patent) that we believe are defensible in light of the IPR challenge described above.

BioVie has also filed a PCT (Patent Cooperation

Treaty) application covering our novel liquid formulations of terlipressin (international patent application PCT/US2020/034269

published as WO2020/237170) and we will seek patent protection in at least the United States, Europe, China and Japan.

We also have fifteen

patents one (1) pending U.S.

application and one (1) pending U.S.

provisional application (provisional application filed

May 18, 2021) directed to our newly acquired drug candidates, including NE3107.

However, there can be no assurance that our pending patent

applications will result in issued patents, or that any issued patent claims from pending or future patent applications will be sufficiently

broad to protect BIV201, NE3107, or any other product candidates or to provide us with competitive advantages.

patents we do obtain may be challenged by re-examination or otherwise invalidated or eventually found unenforceable.

Both the patent

application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time consuming and expensive.

If we were to initiate legal proceedings

against a third party to enforce a patent related to one of our products, the defendant in such litigation could counterclaim that our

patent is invalid and/or unenforceable.

In patent litigation in the U.S., defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability

are commonplace, as are validity challenges by the defendant against the subject patent or other patents before the USPTO.

for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty,

obviousness or non-enablement, failure to meet the written description requirement, indefiniteness, and/or failure to claim patent

eligible subject matter.

Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution

of the patent intentionally withheld material information from the USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution.

grounds for an unenforceability assertion include an allegation of misuse or anticompetitive use of patent rights, and an allegation

of incorrect inventorship with deceptive intent.

Third parties may also raise similar claims before the USPTO even outside the

context of litigation.

The outcome is unpredictable following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability.

to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that no invalidating prior art existed of which we and the patent examiner

were unaware during prosecution.

These assertions may also be based on information known to us or the Patent Office.

If a defendant

or third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps

all, of the claims of the challenged patent.

Such a loss of patent protection would or could have a material adverse impact on

our business.

The standards that the United States Patent

and Trademark Office (and foreign countries) use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change.

There is also no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical

or biotechnology patents.

Accordingly, we do not know the degree of future protection for our proprietary rights or the breadth

of claims that will be allowed in any patents issued to us or to others.

Further, we rely on a combination of trade

secrets, know-how, technology and nondisclosure, and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our rights

in the technology.

If any trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently

developed by a competitor, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The laws of some foreign

countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., and we may encounter significant problems

in protecting our proprietary rights in these countries.

We do not believe that BIV201, the product

candidate we are currently developing, infringes upon the rights of any third parties nor are they infringed upon by third parties.

However, there can be no assurance that our technology will not be found in the future to infringe upon the rights of others or

be infringed upon by others.

Moreover, patent applications are in some cases maintained in secrecy until patents are issued.

publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which

the underlying discoveries were made and patent applications were filed.

Because patents can take many years to issue, there may

be currently pending applications of which we are unaware that may later result in issued patents that our products or product

candidates infringe.

For example, pending applications may exist that provide support or can be amended to provide support for

a claim that results in an issued patent that our product infringes.

However, there can be no assurance that our technology will not be found in the

Moreover, patent applications are in some cases maintained

in secrecy until patents are issued.

The publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially

later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made and patent applications were filed.

Because patents can take many years

or product candidates infringe.

For example, pending applications may exist that provide support or can be amended to provide support

for a claim that results in an issued patent that our product infringes.

In such a case, others may assert infringement claims against

us, and should we be found to infringe upon their patents, or otherwise impermissibly utilize their intellectual property, we might

be forced to pay damages, potentially including treble damages, if we are found to have willfully infringed on such parties’

patent rights.

In addition to any damages we might have to pay, we may be required to obtain licenses from the holders of this

intellectual property.

In addition to any damages we might have to pay, we may be required to obtain licenses from the holders of this intellectual

We may fail to obtain any of these licenses or intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms.

Even if we are able to obtain a license, it may be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors access to the same technologies

licensed to us.

In that event, we may be required to expend significant time and resources to develop or license replacement technology.

If we are unable to do so, we may be unable to develop or commercialize the affected products, which could materially harm our

business and the third parties owning such intellectual property rights could seek either an injunction prohibiting our sales,

or, with respect to our sales, an obligation on our part to pay royalties and/or other forms of compensation.

Conversely, we may

not always be able to successfully pursue our claims against others that infringe upon our technology.

Thus, the proprietary nature

of our technology or technology licensed by us may not provide adequate protection against competitors.

The pharmaceutical industry is characterized

by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights.

Moreover, the cost to us of any litigation or

other proceeding relating to our patents and other intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial,

and the litigation would divert our management’s efforts.

We may not have sufficient resources to bring any such action to

a successful conclusion.

Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability

to continue our operations and you could lose all of your investment.

We depend upon our management and their

loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We currently depend upon the efforts and abilities

of our executive management team of Terren Peizer, our Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Adams, our President and Chief Operating

Officer, and Wendy Kim, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.

Adams serves the Company full-time and Ms.

serves the Company part-time.

The loss or unavailability of the services of either of these individuals for any significant period

of time could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations which may

cause you to lose all of your investment.

We have not obtained, do not own, nor are we the beneficiary of key-person life insurance.

We may not be able to attract and retain

highly skilled personnel, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled

personnel is critical to our operations and expansion.

We face competition for these types of personnel from other pharmaceutical

companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, technical,

human and other resources than us.

We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis,

on competitive terms, or at all.

If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business, prospects,

financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical

industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition.

We may be unable to compete

with enterprises equipped with more substantial resources than us, which could cause us to curtail or cease operations.

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries

are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition based primarily on scientific and technological

These factors include the availability of patent and other protection for technology and products, the ability to commercialize

technological developments and the ability to obtain government approval for testing, manufacturing and marketing.

We compete with biopharmaceutical firms in

the United States, Europe and elsewhere, as well as a growing number of large pharmaceutical companies that are applying biotechnology

to their operations.

Many biopharmaceutical companies have focused their development efforts in the human therapeutics area.

major pharmaceutical companies have developed or acquired internal biotechnology capabilities or made commercial arrangements with

other biopharmaceutical companies.

These companies, as well as academic institutions, government agencies and private research

organizations, also compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants.

to compete successfully with other companies in the pharmaceutical field will also depend to a considerable degree on the continuing

availability of capital to us.

Although there are not currently any therapies

approved by the FDA specifically for the treatment of ascites due to liver cirrhosis, we still face significant competitive and

Other companies, such as Mallinckrodt Inc., are developing therapies for severe complications of advanced liver cirrhosis,

which may in the future be developed for the treatment of ascites, and these therapies could compete indirectly or directly with

our product candidate.

There may be other competitive development programs of which we are unaware.

Even if our product candidate

is ultimately approved by the FDA, there is no guarantee that once it is on the market doctors will adopt it in favor of current

ascites treatment procedures such as diuretics and paracentesis.

These competitive and market risks could have a material adverse

effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations which may cause you to lose all of your investment.

Our competition will be determined in part

by the potential indications for which drugs are developed and ultimately approved by regulatory authorities.

Additionally, the

timing of the market introduction of some of our potential product candidate or of competitors’

products may be an important

competitive factor.

Accordingly, the relative speed with which we can develop drugs, complete pre-clinical testing, clinical trials,

approval processes and supply commercial quantities to market are important competitive factors.

We expect that competition among

drugs approved for sale will be based on various factors, including product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, price

and patent protection.

The successful development of biopharmaceuticals

is highly uncertain.

A variety of factors including, pre-clinical study results or regulatory approvals, could cause us to abandon

the development of our product candidates.

Successful development of biopharmaceuticals

is highly uncertain and is dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Products that appear promising in the early

phases of development may fail to reach the market for several reasons.

Pre-clinical study results may show the product to be less

effective than desired (e.g., the study failed to meet its primary objectives) or to have harmful or problematic side effects.

Products may fail to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or may be delayed in receiving such approvals.

Among other things,

such delays may be caused by slow enrollment in clinical studies, length of time to achieve study endpoints, additional time requirements

for data analysis or a IND and later NDA, preparation, discussions with the FDA, an FDA request for additional pre-clinical or

clinical data or unexpected safety or manufacturing issues;

manufacturing costs, pricing or reimbursement issues, or other

factors that make the product not economical.

Proprietary rights of others and their competing products and technologies may also

prevent the product from being commercialized.

Success in pre-clinical and early clinical

studies does not ensure that large-scale clinical studies will be successful.

Clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying

interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals.

The length of time necessary to complete clinical studies

and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one

product to the next, and may be difficult to predict.

There can be no assurance that any of our products will develop successfully,

and the failure to develop our products will have a materially adverse effect on our business and will cause you to lose all of

your investment.

There may be conflicts of interest among

our officers, directors and stockholders.

Certain of our executive officers and directors

and their affiliates are engaged in other activities and have interests in other entities on their own behalf or on behalf of other

Neither we nor any of our shareholders will have any rights in these ventures or their income or profits.

In particular,

our executive officers or directors or their affiliates may have an economic interest in or other business relationship with partner

companies that invest in us or are engaged in competing drug development.

Our executive officers or directors may have conflicting

fiduciary duties to us and third parties.

The terms of transactions with third parties may not be subject to arm’s length

negotiations and therefore may be on terms less favorable to us than those that could be procured through arm’s length negotiations.

Although we have established an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors to oversee transactions between us and

our insiders, we do not have any formal policies in place to deal with such conflicting fiduciary duties should such a conflict

If we fail to maintain an effective system

of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or detect fraud.

Consequently, investors could

lose confidence in our financial reporting and this may decrease the trading price of our common stock.

We must maintain effective internal controls

to provide reliable financial reports and detect fraud.

We have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures internal

controls, as well as internal controls over financial reporting, are effective.

Failure to implement changes to our internal controls

or any others that we identify as necessary to establish an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results

and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information.

Any such loss of confidence would have a negative

effect on the trading price of our common stock.

We may enter into employment agreements

with our executive officers and compensation payable thereunder may not be based on arms-length negotiations.

One of our current executive officers also

serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors.

Therefore, compensation which may be paid by us to our management under current

arrangements may not have been determined based on arms-length negotiations.

We may grant stock options and other equity incentives

to our executive officers and directors that are consistent with the nature of the pharmaceutical industry.

Although we have established

a compensation committee in connection with this offering comprised of only independent directors, there can be no assurance made

that the consideration which may be payable to management will reflect the true market value of services provided to us.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

There is a risk of dilution of your percentage ownership of

Common Stock in the Company.

We have the right to raise additional capital or incur borrowings

from third parties to finance its business.

We may also implement public or private mergers, business combinations, business acquisitions

and similar transactions pursuant to which it would issue substantial additional capital stock to outside parties, causing substantial

dilution in the ownership of the Company by our existing stockholders.

Our Board of Directors has the authority, without the consent of any of the stockholders, to cause us to issue

more shares of common stock and/or preferred stock at such price and on such terms and conditions as are determined by the Board

of Directors in its sole discretion.

As of August 3, 2020, there were warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 124,667

shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.88 to $75.00 per share, excluding the Bridge Financing Warrants that

will be exercised automatically upon the closing of our currently planned uplisting offering at an exercise price equal to the

par value of the common stock.

Any issuance of additional shares of capital stock by us will dilute your ownership percentage in

the Company and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.

Certain stockholders who are also officers

and directors of the Company may have significant control over our management.

Our directors and executive officers currently

own an aggregate 4,477,488 shares of our common stock as of August 3, 2020, which currently

constitutes 86.0% of our issued and outstanding common stock.

As a result, directors and executive officers may have a significant

influence on our affairs and management, as well as on all matters requiring member approval, including electing and removing members

of our Board of Directors, causing us to engage in transactions with affiliated entities, causing or restricting our sale or merger,

and certain other matters.

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr.

Terren Peizer, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares

held by Acuitas.

Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change

in control of us even when such a change of control would be in the best interests of our stockholders.

There is not now, and there may never

be, an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares

of our common stock .

There is not now, nor has there been since

our inception, any significant volume of trading activity in our common stock or an active market for shares of our common stock.

An active trading market for our securities may never develop or be sustained after this offering.

As a result, investors in our

common stock must bear the economic risk of holding those securities for an indefinite period of time.

Although our common stock

is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace, or OTCQB, over-the-counter quotation system, trading of our common stock on such system has

only recently commenced and continues to be extremely limited and sporadic and at very low volumes.

Although we are to applying

for listing on Nasdaq, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or be sustained.

If an active market for our

securities does not develop, it may be difficult for you to sell the securities you purchase in this offering without depressing

the market price for such securities or at all.

Further, an unestablished trading market for our securities may also impair our

ability to raise capital by selling additional equity in the future, and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships

or acquire companies or products by using shares of our common stock as consideration.

We may, in the future, issue additional

common stock, which would reduce investors’

percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

As of August 3, 2020, our Articles of

Incorporation authorize the issuance of 800,000,000 shares of common stock.

As of August 3, 2020 we had 5,204,392 shares of

services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our

investors, might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise

capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.

We have a large number of restricted

shares outstanding, a portion of which may be sold under Rule 144 which may reduce the market price of our shares.

Of the 5,204,392 shares of common stock issued

and outstanding as of August 3, 2020, 726,904 shares are held by non-affiliates

and 4,477,488 are owned by affiliates of the Company, consisting of our officers and directors or entities controlled by them.

The majority of our common stock, including all of the affiliates' securities are deemed "restricted securities" within

the meaning of Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act.

It is anticipated that all of the “restricted

securities”

will be eligible for resale under Rule 144.

In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain

other conditions, a person, who is not an affiliate (and who has not been an affiliate for a period of at least three months immediately

preceding the sale) and who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months is permitted to

sell such shares without restriction, provided that there is sufficient public information about us as contemplated by Rule 144.

An affiliate who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for a period of at least one year may sell a number

of shares equal to one percent of our issued and outstanding common stock approximately every three months.

The respective holding periods for certain

shares issued to affiliates and non-affiliates holding restricted securities commenced and were issued between May 17, 2013 and

June 30, 2013.

The possibility that substantial amounts of our common stock may be sold under Rule 144 into the public market may

adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through

the sale of equity securities.

Any failure to maintain effective internal

control over financial reporting could harm us.

Our management is responsible for establishing

and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed

to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in

accordance with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Under standards established by the Public Company

Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design

market price and trading volume of our common stock has been volatile.

We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue

to fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including in response to the risk factors described in this prospectus or for reasons unrelated

to our specific performance.

In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.

This volatility

has affected the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and may adversely

affect the market price and trading volume of our common stock.

Prices for our common stock may also be influenced by the depth and liquidity

of the market for our common stock, investor perceptions about us and our business, our future financial results, the absence of cash

dividends on our common stock and general economic and market conditions.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been

instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price.

This type of litigation could result in substantial

costs and could divert our management and other resources.

management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over

financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation

of financial statements in accordance with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Under standards established

by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists

when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or personnel, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,

to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

The PCAOB defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of

deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement

of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

If we are unable to assert that our internal

control over financial reporting is effective, or when required in the future, if our independent registered public accounting

firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors

may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be adversely

affected and we could become subject to litigation or investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed,

the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

The lack of public company experience

of our management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S.

securities laws, which

could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Our officers have limited public company experience,

which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of

Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis.

such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting

requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is necessary to maintain

our public company status.

If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S.

public company would

be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our Company.

We are considered a smaller reporting

company and is exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our stock less attractive to potential investors.

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smaller

reporting company”

as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary

of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

Had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate number of worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principle market for the common equity;

In the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares;

In the case of an issuer who had annual revenue of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audit financial statements are available, had a public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition that was either zero or less than $700 million.

of stockholders in the past, and if we are required by the Nevada District Court to hold an annual meeting pursuant to Nevada Revised

Statutes §78.345(1), it could result in the unanticipated expenditure of funds, time and other Company resources.

Section 1 of Article II of our bylaws provides

that an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by our Board of Directors.

78.345(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that if there is a failure to hold the annual meeting for a period of 18 months

after the last election of directors, stockholders owning at least 15% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock may

apply to the Nevada district court to order the election of directors.

We have not held regular annual meetings of

stockholders in the past because a substantial majority of our stock is owned by a small number of stockholders, making it easy
