Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
have evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and our principle financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures
may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June
30, 2021 using the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation using those criteria, our management
has concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for the reasons discussed above.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during quarter ended June 30, 2021, that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
BioVie
Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Biovie Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Companys recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Related
Party Transactions
As
described in note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into agreements with a related party. As part of these agreements,
the Company is required to issue common stock and, at times, warrants to the related party. The purchase option to the related party
for the additional securities resulted in a deemed dividend of approximately $53 million recorded on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet.
Additionally, in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement identified in note 5, the Company recorded approximately $130.6 million
of in-process research and development expenses on the June 30, 2021 statement of operations and $124.3 million of common stock and additional
paid-in-capital and cash paid to related party of approximately $2.3 million on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet.
We
identified managements related party transactions as a critical audit matter due to the significance of transactions occurring
throughout the year and managements process to ensure all transactions are recorded and disclosed accurately. This in turn led
to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in applying the procedures related to those transactions.
Addressing
the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial
statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of the controls over the Companys process to identify, account
for and disclose related party transactions. We performed procedures to test the common stock, additional paid-in-capital, deemed dividend
and in-process research and development expenses balances related to related parties transactions at the balance sheet date. Our audit
procedures also included, among others, reading agreements and subsequent amendments, and testing invoices to related parties to ensure
expenses are accurate and proper approval from management and audit committee was received. We also made direct inquiries of financial
personnel on the status of all agreements to ensure the population of amendments or new agreements entered into was complete and that
these items were properly accounted for and disclosed. Additionally, we reviewed all board minutes to ensure completeness of related
party transactions.

1. Background
Information
BioVie
Inc. (the Company or we or our) is a company developing innovative drug
therapies to treat chronic debilitating conditions including liver disease and neurological and neuro-degenerative disorders and
certain cancers. We are currently focused on developing and commercializing BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin), a novel investigational
approach to the treatment of ascites due to chronic liver cirrhosis. Our therapy BIV201 is based on a drug that is approved in
about 40 countries to treat related complications of liver cirrhosis (part of the same disease pathway as ascites), but not yet
available in the United States. BIV201s active agent is a potent vasoconstrictor and has shown efficacy for reducing portal
hypertension in studies around the world. The goal is for BIV201 to interrupt the ascites disease pathway, thereby halting the
cycle of accelerating fluid generation in ascites patients.
BioVie completed a Phase 2a clinical trial of BIV201 in six patients with refractory ascites due to advanced liver
cirrhosis at the McGuire Research Institute in Richmond, VA in 2019. The Company met with representatives of the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) in a Type C Guidance Meeting to discuss the study results and plan our next clinical study. Subsequently, we requested
a Type B Meeting and submitted an extensive pre-meeting information package. In April 2020, the FDA provided a written response that
provided new guidance regarding primary and secondary endpoints, BIV201 dosing levels, quality of life measures and other key aspects
of the clinical trial design. After further communications, the Company completed the clinical trial design protocol and was cleared
to begin a Phase 2 clinical study. We activated the first trial sites in the first calendar quarter of 2021 and as of July 2021, seven
of nine planned US study centers have been activated and are actively screening patients, and two patients have been enrolled in the
study. We plan to follow this study with a larger potentially pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial expected to begin in 2022. The Phase 2 study
results will be used to guide the design of a potentially pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial. We have developed a patent-pending novel liquid
formulation of BIV201 for use in this study that is intended to improve convenience for outpatient administration and avoid potential
formulation errors that may occur when pharmacists reconstitute the powder version of terlipressin.
BIV201 has the potential to improve the health of thousands of patients suffering
from life-threatening complications of liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and alcoholism. It has
FDA Fast-Track status and Orphan Drug designation for the most common of these complications, ascites, which represents a significant
unmet medical need. The first-approved orphan drug may receive 7 years of market exclusivity in the United States for the specific drug
for the specific orphan indication. The FDA has never approved any drug specifically for treating ascites. In addition, the Company
is applying for global patent coverage of a proprietary liquid formulation of terlipressin which could eventually provide up to 20 years
of patent protection in countries where the Company seeks patent issuance according to local patent laws.
The
BIV201 development program began at LAT Pharma LLC. On April 11, 2016, the Company acquired LAT Pharma LLC and the rights
to its BIV201 development program. The Company currently owns all development and marketing rights to its drug candidate. The
Company and PharmaIN, Corp. (PharmaIN), LAT Pharmas former partner focused on the development of new modified
drug candidates in the same therapeutic field but not including BIV201, had agreed to pay royalties equal to less than 1% of future
net sales of each companys ascites drug development programs, or if such program is licensed to a third party, less than 5% of
each companys net license revenues. On December 24, 2018, the Company returned its partial ownership rights to the PharmaIN modified
terlipressin development program and simultaneously paid the remaining balance due on a related debt. PharmaIN, Corp.s
rights to our program remain unchanged.
On
April 27, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the APA) with NeurMedix, Inc. (NeurMedix)
and Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (Acuitas), which are related party affiliates, pursuant to which the Company acquired
certain assets from NeurMedix and assumed certain liabilities of NeurMedix, in exchange for the consideration of cash and shares
of common stock. (collectively, the Transaction). The acquired assets include, among others, those related to certain
drug candidates being developed by NeurMedix, including NE3107, a small molecule orally administered inhibitor of insulin resistance
and the pathological inflammatory cascade, with a novel mechanism of action that has potential applications for treatment against
Alzheimers Disease and Parkinsons Disease.

Table of Contents
The
total cost of the asset purchase of the In Process Research and Development (IPR&D) was approximately $ 130.6
million. The Company issued 8,361,308 shares of the Companys common stock, valued at $ 14.87 per share, the closing price
on June 10, 2021 (the closing date); and was required to make cash payments totaling approximately $6.3 million, of which approximately
$2.3 million was paid to Acuitas and approximately $ 4.0 million to others for due diligence, legal fees, transaction fees and
the fairness opinion.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of Amendment No. 1 to the APA dated May 9, 2021, (the Amendment and the APA as so amended,
the Asset Purchase Agreement); following the closing, the Company may be obligated to deliver contingent stock consideration
to NeurMedix (or its successor) consisting of up to 18.0 million shares of BioVies common stock, with 4.5 million shares
issuable upon the achievement of each of the four milestones set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, subject to a cap limiting
the issuance of shares if such issuance would result in the beneficial ownership of NeurMedix and its affiliates exceeding 87.5%
of BioVies issued and outstanding common. (See Note 5 Related Party Transactions - Equity Transactions with Acuitas
)

Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
Companys operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial conditions.
Such factors include, but are not limited to: the results of clinical testing and trial activities of the Companys products,
the Companys ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products, competition from products manufactured and sold
or being developed by other companies, the price of, and demand for, Company products, the Companys ability to negotiate
favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products, and the Companys ability to raise
capital. The Companys financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2021,
the Company had working capital of approximately $ 3.6 million, cash of approximately $4.5 million, stockholders equity
of approximately $5.1 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $224.9 million. In addition, the Company has not generated
any revenues to date and no revenues are expected in the foreseeable future. The Companys future operations are dependent
on the success of the Companys ongoing development and commercialization effort, as well as continuing to secure additional
financing. The cash payments required to close on the purchase of the biopharmaceutical assets from NeurMedix had a significant
impact on the Companys cash position. On August 11, 2021, the Company closed a capital raise issuing 2.5 million shares
of commons stock at $8.00 per share and increased cash by the net proceeds of approximately $17.8 million. Although the increase
in the cash balance could possibly sustain operations over the next 12 months if measures are taken to delay planned expenditures
in our research protocols and slow the progress in the Companys clinical programs, the Companys current planned
operations to meet certain goals and objectives, project cash flows to be depleted within that period of time.
The
future viability of the Company is largely dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. Management
expects that future sources of funding may include sales of equity, obtaining loans, or other strategic transactions. The emergence
of widespread health emergencies or pandemics such as coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, may lead to continued
regional quarantines, business shutdowns, labor shortages, disruptions to supply chains, and overall economic instability, including
the duration and spread of the outbreak and restrictions and the impact of COVID-19 and its variants on the financial markets
and the overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall
economy are impacted for an extended period, the Companys ability to raise funds may be materially adversely affected.
Although
management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient
financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, to fund continuing operations. These circumstances raise substantial
doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys financial position
for the periods presented.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported
in the Companys balance sheet and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates
and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, accounting for share-based compensation, accounting for derivatives and
accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
is maintained at two financial institutions, and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never
experienced any losses related to these balances.
Other
Assets
Other
assets consist of direct costs related to capital raise and filing of the registration statement legal fees and investment banking
fees incurred to raise capital. The costs will be offset against proceeds received once the Company raises the capital.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, we
consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. This
guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
● Level
2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
● Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The
Companys financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, related party loans and a demand promissory note. The carrying
amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items.
Loan
Pursuant to Paycheck Protection Program
The
Company received $ 62,500 in loan proceeds pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), under the Coronavirus
Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a loan application and payment agreement by and between
the Company and Lender. The Company applied for the loan in May 2020 and received funding for its maximum amount of $62,500 on
May 21, 2020. The term of the loan is for 60 months and matures on the fifth-year anniversary from the date of funding. It bears
interest at an annual rate of 1%. On June 28, 2021, the Company received confirmation that the Small Business Administrations
PPP loan was forgiven and recognized the loan forgiveness as gain on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying Statements of
Operations.

Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the preclinical and/ or clinical trials of drug candidates,
compensation and other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants
and related contract research and facility costs. Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed as incurred.
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 the company recorded the assets acquired totaling approximately $130.6 million from NeurMedix,
a controlled affiliate of Acuitas, our majority shareholder, that were under development as research and development expenses
in the accompanying Statements of Operations. See Note 1 - Background Information.
Income
Taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying
enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in
no unrecognized tax benefits as of such date. Additionally, there have been no unrecognized tax benefits subsequent to adoption. The
Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue, if any, according to the provisions of relevant tax law as
general and administrative expenses, in the Statements of Operations. For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no such
interest or penalty.
Net
Loss per Common Share
Basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially outstanding
shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through
stock options, warrants, and convertible debentures. For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, such amounts were excluded from
the diluted loss since their effect was considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the year.
The
table below shows the number of outstanding stock options and warrants as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020:

Stock-based
Compensation
The
Company has accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 – Stock Compensation
which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and
others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (stock options and common stock purchase warrants). For employee awards,
the fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses
assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. For non-employees, the
fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions
for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. For non-employees, the Company utilizes
the graded vesting attribution method under which the entity treats each separately vesting portion (tranche) as a separate award
and recognizes compensation cost for each tranche over its separate vesting schedule. Expected volatilities are based on historical
volatility of peer companies and other factors estimated over the expected term of the stock options. For employee awards, the
expected term of options granted is derived using the simplified method which computes expected term as the average
of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets
acquired. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and further periodic tests to the extent indicators of impairment
develop between annual impairment tests. The Companys impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting
unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to the reporting unit. To determine the fair value of the reporting
unit, the Company may use various approaches including an asset or cost approach, market approach or income approach or any combination
thereof. These approaches may require the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions including future cash flows, revenue
and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed each time the Company tests goodwill for impairment and are typically
developed as part of the Companys routine business planning and forecasting process. While the Company believes its estimates
and assumptions are reasonable, variations from those estimates could produce materially different results. The Company did not
recognize any goodwill impairments for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of
the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its undiscounted estimated future cash flows, an impairment review is performed. An impairment
charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Generally, fair
value is determined using valuation techniques such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. Assets to
be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated or amortized. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held
for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheets.
Purchase
Accounting for Transactions with Related Party
Purchase
accounting for transactions with related party, entities under common control, are recorded at the historical carrying cost with
no step up in basis to the fair market value of the asset or liability are recognized.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). There were no
recent ASUs that are expected to have a material impact on our balance sheets or statements of operations.

Related
Party Transactions
Asset
Acquisition with NeurMedix
On
April 27, 2021, the Company entered into an APA with NeurMedix and Acuitas, which are related party affiliates, pursuant to which
the Company acquired certain assets from NeurMedix and assumed certain liabilities of NeurMedix, in exchange for consideration
of cash and shares of common stock. The acquired assets include, among others, those related to certain drug candidates being
developed by NeurMedix, including NE3107, a small molecule orally administered inhibitor of insulin resistance and the pathological
inflammatory cascade, with a novel mechanism of action that has potential applications for treatment against Alzheimers
Disease and Parkinsons Disease.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, following the closing, the Company may be obligated to deliver contingent
stock consideration to NeurMedix (or its successor). Previously, the Company was obligated to deliver contingent stock consideration
to NeurMedix (or its successor) consisting of shares of the Companys common stock having an aggregate value of up to $3.0
billion, subject to the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones related to the drug candidates to
be acquired by the Company from NeurMedix, and subject to a cap limiting each issuance of shares if such issuance would result
in the beneficial ownership of NeurMedix and its affiliates exceeding 89.9999% of the Companys issued and outstanding common
stock. Pursuant to the Amendment No. 1 to the APA, dated May 9, 2021, the Company may now be obligated to deliver contingent stock
consideration to NeurMedix (or its successor) consisting of up to 18 million shares of BioVies common stock, with 4.5 million
shares issuable upon the achievement of each of the four milestones set forth in the APA, subject to a cap limiting the issuance
of shares if such issuance would result in the beneficial ownership of NeurMedix and its affiliates exceeding 87.5% of the Companys
issued and outstanding common stock.

Table of Contents
On
June 10, 2021, and pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Acuitas (as NeurMedixs assignee) 8,361,308
shares of the Companys common stock and made a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million, representing NeurMedixs
direct and documented cash expenditures to advance certain programs from March 1, 2021 through the closing date and cash payments
to other third parties for expenses totaling approximately $4.0 million for due diligence, legal fees, transaction fees and the
fairness opinion. Since the transaction was between entities under common control, there were no fair value adjustments of the
purchased assets and the historical cost basis of the purchased assets was zero . The total consideration paid was expensed as
research and development expense.
Equity
Transactions with Acuitas
On
September 22, 2020, concurrent with the closing of the Companys Offering, approximately $1.8 million was paid to Acuitas
satisfying all amounts owed on the Debenture due September 24, 2020 held by the Companys controlling stockholder, Acuitas.
Additionally,
in connection with the close of the public offering on September 22, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,909,582 shares
of Common Stock to Acuitas, representing (i) 5.4 million shares issuable pursuant to Acuitas rights under the Purchase
Agreement dated July 3, 2018, as amended on June 24, 2019 and October 9, 2019; and the various extension letters as more fully
described below; which resulted in a deemed dividend at the close of the public offering at price of $10 per share, consistent
with the Companys accounting policy; and (ii) the automatic exercise of 1.5 million warrants issued to Acuitas in connection
with the Debenture financing at the par value of the Common Stock.
During
the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company received additional draws under the Debenture totaling $436,000. The total draws as
of September 22, 2020 were $1.7 million and the related total number of warrants issuable at $4.00 per share of common stock was
424,750 of which 328,250 warrants had been issued. In accordance with the Debenture agreements, as more fully described below;
at September 22, 2020 upon the Companys close of its public offering, all the warrants issued related to the debenture
totaling 1,453,250 were mandatorily redeemed along with the additional 96,500 shares common stock issued to Acuitas.
The
following paragraphs summarize the background of those financings and arrangements which were settled and redeemed on September
22, 2020.
On
July 3, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Acuitas and certain
other purchasers identified in the Purchase Agreement (together with Acuitas, the Purchasers) pursuant to which
(i) the Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 2,133,332 shares of the our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred
Stock) at a price per share of $1.50 per share of Preferred Stock (the Initial Sale) and (ii) we agreed to
issue warrants (the Warrants) to purchase 1,706,666 shares of common stock, each subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate consideration of $3.2 million. We received $160,000 of the $3.2 million
in April and May 2018 as prepaid equity. Acuitas also received an additional 6,667 Warrants in connection with the payoff of a
note issued by us in favor of Acuitas. The Initial Sale and issuance of the Warrants occurred on July 3, 2018. In addition, Acuitas
had the option to purchase up to an additional 1,600,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $1.88, and warrants on
the same terms as the Warrants, within two weeks following the one year anniversary of the closing of the Initial Sale (the Subsequent
Sale) in the event that we did not obtain $3,000,000 of funding through various non-dilutive grants prior to the one year
anniversary of the closing of the Initial Sale, less any federal or FDA grant funding received by the Company.
Acuitas
is controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Terren Peizer and the Purchasers included Jonathan Adams, James Lang,
Cuong Do and Michael Sherman, who are members of our Board.
F- 14
Table of Contents
The
Purchase Agreement contained customary representations and warranties. In connection with the disclosure schedule associated with
the representations and warranties, we also disclosed customary information, including the following: (i) the existence of the
Mallinckrodt petition before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board, (ii) our capitalization, (iii) our obligation to pay a low
single digit royalty on the net sales of BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) to be shared among LAT Pharma LLC members,
PharmaIN Corporation and The Barrett Edge, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 11, 2016, by and between
LAT Pharma LLC and us, (iv) our obligation to pay a low single digit royalty on net sales of all terlipressin products covered
by specified patents up to a maximum of $200,000 per year pursuant to the Technology Transfer Agreement, dated July 25, 2016,
by and between us and the University of Padova (Italy), and (v) certain recent issuances of common stock by us.
Each
share of Preferred Stock automatically converted into 1 share of common stock upon the filing with the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada of a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the Amendment) on August 13, 2018
that increased the number of authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000. The Amendment was approved by the written consent
of the holders of more than a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock on July 3, 2018 and was filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Nevada 20 calendar days following the distribution of our Definitive Information Statement on Schedule
14 that was filed with the SEC on July 13, 2018.
Pursuant
to a letter agreement dated June 24, 2019, Acuitas agreed to modify its existing rights under the Purchase Agreement so that:
-
Acuitas
agreed to immediately exchange its existing 1,606,667 Warrants for common stock such that it will have effectively exercised its
Warrants in full pursuant to a cashless exercise thereof at an assumed current market price of $45.00 per share and, as a result
received an aggregate of 95% of the shares covered thereby, or 1,526,094 shares of common stock;
-
Acuitas
agreed to (i) waive its rights to a 50% adjustment of the purchase price of the Preferred Stock in the Initial Sale, the exercise
price of the Warrants and the price per share in the Subsequent Sale in the event of certain reductions in the useful life of
our current intellectual property rights, and (ii) effectively exercise its rights to purchase securities in a Subsequent Sale
pursuant to a cashless purchase at an assumed current market price of approximately $11.25 per share, conditioned
in each case on the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq or the raising of $2.0 million in additional funds in the form of another
securities offering, in either case not later than November 30, 2019, which will result Acuitas having irrevocably waived its
rights to an adjustment in the purchase price of the Preferred Stock in the Initial Sale and the exercise price of the Warrants
and the purchase price of per share in the Subsequent Sale upon the issuance by us of an aggregate of 1,339,958 shares of common
stock (the Subsequent Sale Shares) to Acuitas, which is expected to occur concurrently with the closing of our potential
public offering and listing on Nasdaq;
-
Acuitas
shall in exchange for the foregoing agreements and waivers have the option to purchase additional shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase one share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased during the period from September 1,
2019 to November 30, 2019 at the then-effective purchase price of the Preferred Stock in the Initial Sale (the Funding
Option), provided that any shares issued pursuant to any exercise of the Funding Option will reduce share-for-share
the amount of shares issued pursuant to the deemed exercise of its rights to purchase securities in a Subsequent Sale mentioned
above.
Convertible
Debenture Transaction with Acuitas
On
September 24, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the 2019 Purchase Agreement) with
Acuitas pursuant to which (i) Acuitas agreed to purchase a 10% OID Convertible Delayed Draw Debenture due September 24, 2020 for
an aggregate commitment amount of up to $2.0 million, and (ii) the Company issued 1,125,000 shares (the Commitment Shares)
of the Companys common stock and warrants (the Commitment Warrants) to purchase an equal number of shares,
each subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Purchase Agreement. The Debenture accrues additional principal
at the rate of 6% per annum and interest at the rate of 10% per annum, is convertible into shares of common stock at $4.00 per
share prior to the completion of the companys planned public offering of units (the Public Offering) or,
subsequent to the closing of the Public Offering, the lower of $4.00 or 80% of the offering price per unit to the public in the
Public Offering and are mandatorily redeemable upon such closing at 100% of the accrued principal amount and unpaid interest to
the date of redemption. The Commitment Warrants are five-year warrants, exercisable upon the earlier of the effectiveness of the
Companys current reverse stock split or December 1, 2019, at an amount equal to the lower of $4.00 or 80% of the offering
price per unit to the public in the Public Offering. Upon entering into the 2019 Purchase Agreement, the Company drew an initial
$500,000 under the Debenture and in accordance with the 2019 Purchase Agreement, Acuitas received an additional 125,000 warrants
(the Bridge Warrants) having the same terms as the Commitment Warrants.

Any
future draws under the Debenture, which may be made from and after October 15, 2019, November 15, 2019 and December 15, 2019 in
equal tranches of $500,000 each, will entitle Acuitas to receive additional Bridge Warrants in equal amount upon such funding.
In addition, the 2019 Purchase Agreement provides that, should the underwriters in the Public Offering exercise their option to
purchase additional securities during the 45 days following closing and the issuance of such securities would result in Acuitas
beneficial ownership (on a fully diluted basis) of shares of common stock being below 60%, Acuitas shall be issued a number of
additional shares of common stock and warrants having the same terms as the Commitment Warrants to result in its beneficial ownership
(on a fully diluted basis) of shares of common stock equaling 60%.
The
issuance of 1,125,000 shares of the Companys commons stock and warrants to purchase an equal amount number of shares, to
its controlling stockholder for the Bridge Financing was accounted for as a deemed dividend due to its related party nature and
$17.1 million representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration given for the financing, net of debt discount; was
recorded in accumulated deficit for the year ended June 30, 2020, accordingly. A debt discount of $500,000 against the debenture
was recorded which will be amortized over the term of the debenture using the effective interest method.
The
Company received draws under the Debenture that totaled approximately $1.3 million during the year ended June 30, 2020. The total
interest expense related to the draws under the Debenture was approximately $99,000 for the year ended June 30, 2020. On April
1, 2020, the Company entered an amendment to modify the payment of accrued interest amounts under the original terms of the Debenture
to capitalize all such amounts as would otherwise accrue on the Debenture. On January 4, 2020, payment of $13,487 accrued interest
due was paid through the issuance of 4,422 shares of the Companys common stock. Acuitas and the Company continue to discuss
the need and timing for some or all the remaining draws under the Debenture Agreement. Subsequent to the initial $500,000
draw on September 24, 2019, the Company received draws that totaled $813,000 as July 13, 2020, and accordingly; the Company issued
additional Bridge Warrants to purchase 203,250 shares of common stock to its controlling stockholder under the terms of the Bridge
Financing. Accordingly, on April 16, 2020, the Company recorded the warrants to purchase 125,000 common stock related to the second
$500,000 draw under the debenture as a derivative warrant liability as of June 30, 2020. The Company recorded the warrants related
to the draws totaling $313,000 to purchase 78,250 common shares as derivative liabilities.
Pursuant
to the 2019 Purchase Agreement, Acuitas has agreed to further modify its existing rights under the Purchase Agreement dated July
3, 2018 with the Company so that Acuitas previous agreement in June 2019 to waive its rights to a 50% adjustment of the
purchase price of the Preferred Stock in the July 2018 transaction, the exercise price of the warrants in such transaction and
the price per share in a Subsequent Sale in the event of certain reductions in the useful life of our current intellectual property
rights, and effectively exercise its rights to purchase securities in a Subsequent Sale pursuant to a cashless purchase
at an assumed current market price of approximately $11.25 per share, conditioned in each case on the listing of the Companys
common stock on Nasdaq or the raising of $2.0 million in additional funds in the form of another securities offering, in either
case not later than November 30, 2019, such that Acuitas will have irrevocably waived its rights to an adjustment in the purchase
price of the Preferred Stock in the Initial Sale and the exercise price of the Warrants and the purchase price of per share in
the Subsequent Sale upon the issuance by us of an aggregate of 2,679,916 shares of common stock and 2,679,916 warrants having
the same terms as the Commitment Warrants to Acuitas, upon the closing of the Public Offering.
Pursuant
to an amendment to the 2019 Purchase Agreement dated October 9, 2019, Acuitas agreed to modify its existing rights under the 2019
Purchase Agreement so that:
- The
Commitment Warrants (and related warrants issued upon the first draw under the Debenture) were replaced with warrants having similar
terms, but which are automatically exercised upon the closing of the offering at an exercise price equal to the par value of the
common stock;
F- 16
Table of Contents
- Acuitas
existing rights under the Purchase Agreement dated July 3, 2018 with the Company were further amended so that the number of Subsequent
Sale Shares would be multiplied by four (in lieu of the changes to the Purchase Agreement originally provided for in the 2019
Purchase Agreement); and
- The
provisions of the 2019 Purchase Agreement providing that, should the underwriters in the offering exercise their option to purchase
additional securities during the 45 days following closing and the issuance of such securities would result in Acuitas
beneficial ownership (on a fully diluted basis) of shares of common stock being below 60%, Acuitas will be issued a number of
additional shares of common stock and warrants having the same terms as the Commitment Warrants to result in its beneficial ownership
(on a fully diluted basis) of shares of common stock equaling 60% have been modified such that, upon the exercise of such option
by the underwriters, the Company will issue to Acuitas a number of securities that will result in Acuitas fully diluted
beneficial ownership after the exercise of such option being the same as prior thereto.
On
July 14, 2020, the Company, entered into a further extension of its letter agreements dated April 8, 2020, that furthered extended
its letter agreement dated February 10, 2020 with Acuitas regarding Acuitas previous agreement to modify its existing rights
under the Purchase Agreement dated July 3, 2018 with the Company so that its June 2019 waiver of its rights to a 50% adjustment
of the purchase price applicable to its initial investment in the Company and the exercise price of the warrants received in such
transaction and the price per share should it exercise certain rights to purchase additional securities in the event of certain
reductions in the useful life of the Companys intellectual property rights and commitment to purchase such securities upon
the closing of the Companys planned public offering of shares of Class A common stock (the Common Stock)
as described in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-231136) and commitment to purchase such additional securities
would remain effective until October 31, 2020, and accordingly Acuitas shall be entitled to receive an aggregate of 5,359,832
shares of Common Stock at such closing. In addition, the parties agreed that certain draws under the Companys current bridge
financing with Acuitas were to be made based with respect to the Companys ongoing capital requirements and current market
conditions, notwithstanding certain scheduled availability dates set forth in the 10% OID Convertible Delayed Draw Debenture issued
in connection therewith. The letter agreement of July 14, 2020 also confirmed the understanding between the Company and Acuitas
regarding certain amounts funded to BioVie that were intended as partial draws of credit available under the Debenture
which, as of the date hereof aggregated $813,000 in aggregate principal amount in additional to amounts initial funded under the
Debenture. Accordingly, such partial draws shall accrue additional principal as amounts otherwise funded pursuant
to the original schedule of draws included in the Debenture (as modified by the letter agreement between BioVie and Acuitas dated
April 1, 2020 regarding the capitalization of interest otherwise payable) and shall entitle Acuitas to receive a pro rata amount
of Bridge Warrants.

Derivative
liability – Warrants
The
Company accounts for stock purchase warrants as either equity instruments or derivative liabilities depending on the specific
terms of the warrant agreements. Under applicable accounting guidance, stock warrants that are precluded from being indexed to
the Companys own stock because of full-rachet anti-dilution provisions or the adjustments to the strike price due to an
occurrence of a future event; are accounted for as derivative financial instruments. The stock warrants issued September 24, 2019
were not considered indexed to the Companys own stock because of the adjustment to strike price, an occurrence
of a future event such as the Companys pending capital raise.

Challenge
to US Patent
On
April 30, 2018, we received notice that Mallinckrodt had petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
to institute an Inter Partes Review of our U.S. Patent No. 9,655,945 titled Treatment of Ascites (the 945
patent). Inter Partes Review is a trial proceeding conducted with the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to review
the patentability of one or more claims of a patent. Such review is limited to grounds of novelty and obviousness on the basis
of prior art consisting of patents and printed publications.
On
November 13, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the Board)
issued a written decision in the inter partes review (IPR) action that was brought by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals
Ireland Limited (Mallinckrodt) against BioVie Inc. (BioVie or Company). In that action,
Mallinckrodt sought to invalidate BioVies patent (U.S. Pat. No. 9,655,945, Treatment of Ascites) (the 945
Patent). In its decision, the Board determined that all claims of the 945 Patent were not patentable because they
were either anticipated or obvious in light of prior art. The Board also denied BioVies Motion to Amend the claims on similar
grounds. The result of the Boards decision is that the 945 patent is no longer valid or enforceable. Acuitas Group
Holdings, LLC was aware of this patent challenge when it purchased a majority ownership interest in the Company in July 2018.
This
ruling is unrelated to the Companys Orphan drug designations for ascites and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS),
which remain unchanged. An Orphan drug that is first-to-market typically receives 7 years of market exclusivity in the United
States for the designated use(s). In addition, the ruling does not affect the Companys rights in its pending patent application
directed to proprietary liquid formulations of terlipressin for use in its planned Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, subject to FDA
clearance, which could eventually provide up to 20 years of patent coverage in each country in which the Company seeks patent
protection, such as the United States, if a patent issues from a patent application according to the patent laws of each issuing
country.
Royalty
Agreements
Pursuant
to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on April 11, 2016 between our predecessor entities, LAT Pharma LLC and NanoAntibiotics,
Inc., BioVie is obligated to pay a low single digit royalty on net sales of BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) to be shared
among LAT Pharma Members, PharmaIn Corporation, and The Barrett Edge, Inc.
The
Company and PharmaIN Corporation, LAT Pharmas former partner focused on the development of new modified drug candidates
in the same therapeutic field but not including BIV201, had agreed to pay royalties equal to less than 1% of future net sales
of each companys ascites drug development programs, or if such program is licensed to a third party, less than 5% of each
companys net license revenues. On December 24, 2018, the Company returned its partial ownership rights to the PharmaIN
modified terlipressin development program and simultaneously paid the remaining balance due on a related debt. PharmaIN, Corp.
rights to our program remain unchanged. Additionally the Company obligation to pay a low single digit royalty on the net sales
of BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) to be shared among LAT Pharma LLC members, and The Barrett Edge, Inc. pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 11, 2016, by and between LAT Pharma LLC. The Company has an obligation to pay a
low single digit royalty on net sales of all terlipressin products covered by specified patents up to a maximum of $200,000 per
year pursuant to the Technology Transfer Agreement, dated July 25, 2016, by and between us and the University of Padova (Italy).
