Notes
to Condensed Financial Statements
For
the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
(unaudited)
1. Background
Information
BioVie
Inc. (the Company or we or our) is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies
to treat chronic debilitating conditions including liver disease and neurological and neuro-degenerative disorders and certain cancers.
In
liver disease, our Orphan Drug candidate BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) is being developed as a future treatment option for
patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis caused by NASH, hepatitis, and alcoholism.
The initial target for BIV201 therapy is refractory ascites. These patients suffer from frequent life-threatening complications, generate
more than $5 billion in annual treatment costs, and have an estimated 50% mortality rate within 6 to 12 months. The US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has not approved any drug to treat refractory ascites. A Phase 2a clinical trial of BIV201 was completed in 2019,
and a multi-center, randomized 30-patient Phase 2b trial is currently underway. As of October 31, 2021, the nine planned US study centers
have been activated and are actively screening patients, and multiple patients have been enrolled in the study. The FDA has communicated
to us that pending positive Phase 2 study results, a sufficiently large and well-controlled Phase 3 trial, with supportive trend data
from the Phase 2b (statistical significance not required), could potentially yield the clinical data needed to apply for BIV201 marketing
approval. The Phase 2b clinical trial protocol is summarized on www.clinicaltrials.gov, trial identifier NCT04112199.at nine US study
centers. (NCT04112199). Top-line results from this trial are expected in mid-2022, to be followed by a proposed single pivotal Phase
3 clinical trial beginning in late 2022. In June 2021, BioVie received written feedback from the FDA in response to a Type B meeting
request to conduct a pivotal US Phase 3 clinical trial in HRS-AKI, which is a life-threatening complication of advanced ascites. Based
on the guidance received in subsequent communications with the FDA, we are revising certain elements of our proposed study and are planning
to initiate this study in early 2022.
The BIV201 development program was initiated by 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. 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.
In neurodegenerative disease, BioVie acquired the biopharmaceutical assets
of NeurMedix, Inc. (“NeurMedix”), a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, in June 2021 (See Note 5 Related
Party Transactions ). The acquired assets included NE3107, a potentially selective inhibitor of inflammatory ERK signaling that,
based on animal studies, is believed to reduce neuroinflammation. NE3107 is a novel orally administered small molecule that is thought
to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatory cascades with a novel mechanism of action. There
is emerging scientific consensus that both inflammation and insulin resistance may play fundamental roles in the development of Alzheimer’s
and Parkinson’s Disease, and NE3107 could, if approved represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating
conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s and 1 million from Parkinson’s. The FDA has
authorized a potentially pivotal Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate NE3107
in subjects who have mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (NCT04669028). In August 2021, the study was initiated and the Company
is anticipating top line results in late calendar year 2022.
In September 2021, the FDA authorized the Company to initiate a Phase 2
study assessing NE3107’s potential pro-motoric impact in Parkinson’s disease patients, and to assess its safety and tolerability.
The NM201 study (NCT05083260) is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics study in Parkinson’s
Disease (PD) participants treated with carbidopa/levodopa and NE3107. Forty patients with a defined L-dopa “off state” will
be randomized 1:1 placebo: active 20 mg twice daily for 28 days. Safety assessments will look at standard measures of patient health and
potential for drug-drug interactions affecting L-dopa PK and activity. Efficacy assessments will use the Motor Disease Society Unified
Parkinson’s Disease Rating (MDS-UPDRS) parts 1-4, Hauser ON/OFF Diary, and Non-Motor Symptom Scale. This study is planned to start
in early 2022.
Inflammation-driven insulin resistance is believed to be implicated in
a broad range of serious diseases, including multiple myeloma and prostate cancer, and we plan to begin exploring these opportunities
in the coming months using NE3107 or related compounds acquired in the NeurMedix asset purchase. NE3107 is patented in the United States,
Australia, Canada, Europe and South Korea.

2. Liquidity
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 September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $ 19.3 million ,
cash of approximately $20.5 million, stockholders equity of approximately $20.2 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately
$230.4 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 efforts,
as well as its ability to secure additional financing as needed. Although our 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 the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (and its related variants),
may lead to continued regional quarantines, business shutdowns, labor shortages, disruptions to supply chains, and overall economic instability.
Although some jurisdictions have relaxed these measures, others have not or have reinstated them
as COVID-19 cases surge and variants emerge. The duration and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term impact of COVID-19
and its variants on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. 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 the Companys strategic 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.
3. Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation – Interim Financial Information
These
unaudited interim condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United State of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for Interim Reporting. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim
condensed financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of
management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year. The condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2021 was derived from audited annual financial statements
but does not contain all the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements
and information included under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021. For a summary of significant accounting policies, see the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 30, 2021.

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 three months ended September 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 period.
The
table below shows the number of outstanding stock options and warrants as of September 30, 2021 and 2020:

5. Related
Party Transactions
Asset
Acquisition with NeurMedix
On
April 27, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) with 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 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 APA, following the closing, the Company was potentially 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 Companys
achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones related to the drug candidates to be acquired 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 Amendment No. 1 to the APA, dated May 9, 2021,
the Company is now obligated to deliver to NeurMedix (or its successor) 4.5 million shares upon the achievement of each of the four milestones
set forth in the APA, for an aggregate of up to 18 million shares, 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.
On
June 10, 2021, and pursuant to the APA, 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; 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, 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.

Office
Lease
From
July 1, 2019 to October 31, 2021, the Company paid monthly rent of $1,000 to Acuitas for its headquarter office at 2120 Colorado Avenue
Suite 230, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Effective November 1, 2021, the Company relocated its headquarters to Nevada at 9120 Double Diamond

CA 92122. The lease agreement requires monthly payments of $8,782.
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 (IPR) of our U.S. Patent No. 9,655,945 titled Treatment of Ascites (the 945
patent). On November 13, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of USPTO issued a written decision in the IPR from which no appeal
was taken. The decision revoked all of the claims of the patent as lacking novelty or as obvious.
This
ruling is unrelated to the Companys Company’s 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 Company’s 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 review and authorization, 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
count.

Managements
Discussion
BioVie
Inc. is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies to overcome unmet medical needs in chronic debilitating conditions.
In
liver disease , our Orphan Drug candidate BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) is being developed as a future
treatment option for patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis caused by NASH,
hepatitis, and alcoholism. The initial target for BIV201 therapy is refractory ascites. These patients suffer from frequent life-threatening
complications, generate more than $5 billion in annual treatment costs, and have an estimated 50% mortality rate within 6 to 12 months.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any drug to treat refractory ascites. A Phase 2a clinical trial of BIV201 was
completed in 2019, and a multi-center, randomized and controlled Phase 2b trial is currently underway at nine US medical centers including
Vanderbilt University, the Mayo Clinic, and University of Pennsylvania (NCT04112199). Top-line results from this trial are expected in
mid-2022, to be followed by a proposed single pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial beginning in late 2022. In June 2021, we received written
feedback from the FDA in response to a Type B meeting request to conduct a pivotal US Phase 3 clinical trial in HRS-AKI, which is a life-threatening
complication of advanced ascites. Based on the guidance received in subsequent communications with the FDA, we are revising certain elements
of our proposed study and planning to initiate this study in early 2022.

In
neurodegenerative disease, BioVie acquired the biopharmaceutical assets of NeurMedix, Inc., a privately held clinical-stage
pharmaceutical company, in June 2021. The acquired assets include NE3107, a potentially selective inhibitor of inflammatory ERK signaling
that, based on animal studies, is believed to reduce neuroinflammation. NE3107is a novel orally administered small molecule that is thought
to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatory cascades with a novel mechanism of action. There
is emerging scientific consensus that both inflammation and insulin resistance may play fundamental roles in the development of Alzheimer’s
and Parkinson’s Disease, and NE3107 could, if approved, represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating
conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s and 1 million from Parkinson’s. The FDA has
authorized a potentially pivotal Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate NE3107
in subjects who have mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (NCT04669028). We initiated this trial on August 5, 2021, and are targeting
primary completion in late 2022. In addition to Alzheimer’s disease, in September 2021, the FDA authorized the company to initiate
a Phase 2 study assessing NE3107’s potential pro-motoric impact in Parkinson’s disease patients, and to assess its safety
and tolerability. The NM201 study (NCT05083260) is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics study
in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) participants treated with carbidopa/levodopa and NE3107. Forty (40) patients with a defined L-dopa “off
state” will be randomized 1:1 placebo: active 20 mg twice daily for 28 days. Safety assessments will look at standard measures of
patient health and potential for drug-drug interactions affecting L-dopa PK and activity. Efficacy assessments will use the Motor Disease
Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating (MDS-UPDRS) parts 1-4, Hauser ON/OFF Diary, and Non-Motor Symptom Scale. This study is
planned to start in early 2022. Inflammation-driven insulin resistance is believed to be implicated in a broad range of serious diseases,
including multiple myeloma and prostate cancer, and we plan to begin exploring these opportunities in the coming months using NE3107 or
related compounds acquired in the NeurMedix asset purchase.

Comparison
of the three months ended September 30, 2021 to the three months ended September 30, 2020
Net
income (loss)
The
net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $5.5 million as compared to net income of $7.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in net income of approximately $12.8 million was primarily due to a change in fair
value of derivative liabilities of approximately $8.3 million and an increase in operating expenses of approximately $5.1 million, offset
by a decrease in interest expense of approximately $558,000.
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $5.5 million as compared to $387,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2020. The net increase of approximately $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30,
2021 was primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses of approximately $2.7 million, primarily attributed to the
development of the recently purchased Neuroscience biopharmaceutical assets and continuation of our Orphan Drug candidate BIV201s
Phase 2b clinical trial, which was initiated earlier in the 2021 calendar year, as well as an increase in selling, general and administration
expenses of $2.4 million, primarily due to stock-based compensation awarded to the management team.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses were approximately $2.8 million and $101,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The net increase of approximately $2.7 million, was primarily due to additional operating expenses related to our Neuroscience operations
totaling approximately $2 million and the increased activities of our Liver Cirrhosis operations totaling approximately $700,000, as
our Orphan Drug candidate BIV201s Phase 2b clinical trial initiated in June 2021 continues to ramp up. The level of research and
development activity for the three months ended September 30, 2021 strongly contrasts to the three months ended September 30, 2020, when
the Company was focused on closing its capital raise.
Approximately
$1.7 million of the $2.7 million increase in research and development expenses was attributed to increased compensation expense in connection
with the hiring of two executives that oversee our Neuroscience research and development and product development. The $1.7 million increase
consisted of an increase in payroll expense by approximately $151,000, bonus expense of approximately $1.1 million, including a retention
bonus to certain employees totaling $1.0 million to be paid in 24 equal monthly installments, and stock compensation granted to the management
team totaling approximately $420,000. The remaining increase in research and development expense of approximately $1 million consisted
of expenses for the clinical operations related to BIV201s Phase 2b clinical trials totaling approximately $506,000 and the preparation
and initiation of the Alzheimer potentially pivotal Phase 3 study, which was initiated in August 2021 totaling approximately $533,000.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately $2.6 million and $228,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. The net increase of approximately $2.4 million was primarily attributed to increased compensation expense of approximately
$1.9 million, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million representing restricted stock units and
stock options awarded to the executive management team of approximately $1.3 million and the amortization cost of $385,000 for the stock
option granted the directors in the prior fiscal year; and approximately $227,000 related to bonus and salary increases. The remaining
net increase of approximately $500,000 is attributed to increased expenses related to being listed on a national exchange including listing
fees and investor relations, legal and professional fees, office expenses and website development expenses, as the Company expanded its
operations in the development of the recent neuroscience pharmaceutical assets.

Capital
Resources and Liquidity
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $19.3 million, cash of approximately $20.5 million, stockholders
equity of approximately $20.2 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $230.4 million. In addition, the Company has not generated
any revenues 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 efforts, as well as its ability to to secure additional financing as
needed.
In
August and September of 2021, the Company closed two capital raises issuing an aggregate of 2.6 million shares of its common stock at
a price of $8.00 per share for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $18.5 million. Although the increase in the Companys 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. We cannot
assure you that our drug candidate will be developed, work, or receive regulatory approval; that we will ever earn revenues sufficient
to support our operations or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since we have no committed source of sufficient financing,
we cannot assure that we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and
when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.
Although
management continues to pursue its strategic 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. Management intends to attempt to secure additional
required funding primarily through additional equity or debt financings. We may also seek to secure required funding through
sales or out-licensing of intellectual property assets, seeking partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies or third parties to
co-develop and fund research and development efforts, or similar transactions. However, there can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain required funding. If we are unsuccessful in securing funding from any of these sources, we will defer,
reduce or eliminate certain planned expenditures in our research protocols. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue
operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some
or all of their investment in us.
The
emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (and its related variants),
may lead to continued regional quarantines, business shutdowns, labor shortages, disruptions to supply chains, and overall economic instability.
Although some jurisdictions have relaxed these measures, particularly as more and more people are
vaccinated, others have not or have reinstated them as COVID-19 cases surge and variants emerge The duration and spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term impact of COVID-19 and its variants on the financial markets and the overall economy, are highly
uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. 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.
These
circumstances raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this report
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification
of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls
and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures,
our management necessarily was required to apply its judgement in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure and
procedures. The design of and disclosure controls and procedures also are based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.
Based
on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15f and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that

internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
To
our knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors is a party to any material legal proceeding or litigation and
such persons know of no material legal proceeding or contemplated or threatened litigation. There are no judgments against us or our
officers or directors. None of our officers or directors has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor relating to securities or performance
in corporate office.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or if we issue shares subject to options, warrants, stock awards
or other arrangements.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or
other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering,
and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per
share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future
transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.
In
addition, as of September 30, 2021, there were warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 158,761 shares of common stock at exercise
prices ranging from $1.88 to $75.00 per share, 2,121,035 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options at exercise prices ranging
from $2.80 to $42.09 per share, and 43,420 restricted stock units convertible to an equal amount shares. We may grant additional options,
warrants or stock awards. To the extent such shares are issued, the interest of holders of our common stock will be diluted.
Moreover,
we are obligated to issue shares of common stock upon achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones with respect
to certain of our drug candidates (i.e., NE3107, NE3291, NE3413, NE3789) pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, dated April 27, 2021,
by and among the Company, NeurMedix, Inc. and Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, as amended on May 9, 2021. The achievement of these milestones
could result in the issuance of up to 18 million shares of our common stock, further diluting the interest of holders of our common stock.
