Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

and 2023
(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
neurological and neuro-degenerative disorders and liver disease.
The Company acquired the biopharmaceutical assets
of NeurMedix, Inc. (“NeurMedix”) a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and a related party in June 2021 . The
acquired assets included NE3107. NE3107 is an investigational, 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 disease (“AD”)
and Parkinson’s disease (“PD”), and NE3107 could, if approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”),
represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering
from AD and 1 million Americans suffering from PD.
Neurodengenerative Disease Program
In neurodegenerative disease, the Company’s
drug candidate NE3107 inhibits activation of inflammatory actions extracellular single-regulated kinase (“ERK”) and nuclear
factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (“NFκB”) (including interactions with tumor necrosis factor (“TNF”)
signaling and other relevant inflammatory pathways) that lead to neuroinflammation and insulin resistance. NE3107 does not interfere with
their homeostatic functions (e.g., insulin signaling and neuron growth and survival). Both inflammation and insulin resistance are drivers
of AD and PD.
Alzheimer’s Disease (NCT05083260)
On November 29, 2023, the Company announced the analysis
of its unblinded, topline efficacy data from its Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT04669028) of NE3107 in the treatment of mild to moderate AD.
The study has co-primary endpoints looking at cognition using the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Scale (ADAS-Cog
12) and function using the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). Patients were randomly assigned, 1:1 versus placebo, to receive
sequentially 5 mg of NE3107 orally twice a day for 14 days, then 10 mg orally twice a day for 14 days, followed by 26 weeks of 20 mg orally
twice daily.
Upon trial completion, as the Company began the process
of unblinding the trial data, the Company found significant deviation from protocol and current good clinical practices (“cGCPs”)
violations at 15 study sites (virtually all of which were from one geographic area). This highly unusual level of suspected improprieties
led the Company to exclude all patients from these sites and to refer the sites to the FDA Office of Scientific Investigations (“OSI”)
for further action. After the patient exclusions, 81 patients remained in the Modified Intent to Treat population, 57 of whom were in
the Per-Protocol population which included those who completed the trial and were verified to take study drug from pharmacokinetic data.
The trial was originally designed to be 80% powered
with 125 patients in each of the treatment and placebo arms. The unplanned exclusion of so many patients has left the trial underpowered
for the primary endpoints. In the Per-Protocol population, which included those patients who completed the trial and who were further
verified to have taken the study drug (based on pharmacokinetic data), an observed descriptive change from baseline appeared to suggest
a slowing of cognitive loss; these same patients experienced an advantage in age deceleration vs. placebo as measured by DNA epigenetic
change. Age deceleration is used by longevity researchers to measure the difference between the patient’s biological age, in this
case as measured by the Horvath DNA methylation Skin Blood Clock, relative to the patient’s actual chronological age. This test
was a non-primary/secondary endpoint, other-outcome measure, done via blood test collected at week 30 (end of study). Additional DNA methylation
data continues to be collected and analyzed.

Background Information (continued)
Parkinson’s Disease (NCT05083260)
The Phase 2 study of bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment
of PD (NCT05083260), completed in December 2022, was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics study
in PD participants treated with carbidopa/levodopa and bezisterim (NE3107). Forty-five patients with a defined L-dopa “off state”
were randomized 1:1 to placebo: bezisterim (NE3107) 20 mg twice daily for 28 days. This trial was launched with two design objectives:
1) the primary objective was safety and a drug-drug interaction study as requested by the FDA to measure the potential for adverse interactions
of bezisterim (NE3107) with carbidopa/ levodopa; and 2) the secondary objective was to determine if preclinical indications of promotoric
activity and apparent enhancement of levodopa activity could be seen in humans. Both objectives were met.
Long COVID Program
In April 2024, the Company announced the grant of
a clinical trial award of up to $13.1 million from the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”), awarded through the Peer Reviewed
Medical Research Program (“PRMRP”) of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (“CDMRP”). The award
can provide up to 2 years of non-dilutive funding for a Phase 2b clinical trial that will assess bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment
of neurological symptoms that are associated with long COVID. The Company anticipates the trial to commence by early 2025.
Long COVID is a condition in which symptoms of COVID-19,
the acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, persist for an extended period of time, generally three months or more.
The Centers for Disease Control recently reported that 6.8% of adults in the United States (more than 17 million individuals) currently
or previously had long COVID. Symptoms, which include fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and sleep disturbances, are debilitating. The loss
in quality of life and earnings and increased medical costs has an enormous economic impact estimated to be 3.7 trillion dollars. To date
there are no therapies proven effective for treatment.
Chronic inflammation is one of the main hypotheses
that researchers have proposed to explain the persistence of symptoms in long COVID. Specifically in individuals with “brain fog,”
sustained systemic inflammation and persistent localized blood-brain-barrier (“BBB”) dysfunction are key physiological features.
Bezisterim (NE3107) permeates the BBB and has been shown to modulate inflammation via the activation of NF-kB, thus representing a novel
oral treatment targeting an underlying cause of long COVID symptoms.
Neuroinflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress are common
features in the major neurodegenerative diseases, including AD, PD, frontotemporal lobar dementia, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Bezisterim (NE3107) is an investigational oral small molecule, blood-brain permeable, compound with potential anti-inflammatory, insulin
sensitizing, and ERK-binding properties that may allow it to selectively inhibit ERK-, NFκB- and TNF-stimulated inflammation. Bezisterim’s
(NE3107) potential to inhibit neuroinflammation and insulin resistance forms the basis for the Company’s work testing the molecule
in AD, PD, and long COVID patients. Bezisterim (NE3107) is patented in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe and South Korea.
Liver Disease Program
In liver disease, our investigational drug candidate
BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin), which has been granted both FDA Fast Track designation status and FDA Orphan Drug status, is
being evaluated and discussed after receiving guidance from the FDA regarding the design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the
treatment of ascites due to chronic liver cirrhosis. BIV201 is administered as a patent-pending liquid formulation.
In June 2021, the Company initiated a Phase 2 study
(NCT04112199) designed to evaluate the efficacy of BIV201 (terlipressin, administered by continuous infusion for two 28-day treatment
cycles) combined with standard-of-care (“SOC”), compared to SOC alone, for the treatment of refractory ascites. The primary
endpoints of the study are the incidence of ascites-related complications and change in ascites fluid accumulation during treatment compared
to a pre-treatment period.
In March 2023 the company announced enrollment was
paused and that data from the first 15 patients treated with BIV201 plus SOC appeared to show at least a 30% reduction in ascites fluid
during the 28 days after treatment initiation compared to the 28 days prior to treatment. The change in ascites volume was significantly
different from those patients receiving SOC treatment. Patients who completed the treatment with BIV201 experienced a 53% reduction in
ascites fluid, which was sustained (43% reduction) during the three months after treatment initiation as compared to the three-month pre-treatment
period.
In June 2023, the Company requested and subsequently
received guidance from the FDA regarding the design and endpoints for definitive clinical testing of BIV201 for the treatment of ascites
due to chronic liver cirrhosis. The Company is currently finalizing protocol designs for the Phase 3 study of BIV201 for the treatment
of ascites due to chronic liver cirrhosis.

Background Information (continued)
While the active agent, terlipressin, is approved
in the U.S. and in about 40 countries for related complications of advanced liver cirrhosis, treatment of ascites is not included in these
authorizations. Patients with refractory ascites 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 FDA has not approved any drug to treat refractory
ascites.
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 this 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.

Liquidity
The Company’s 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 Company’s products, the Company’s 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 Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products;
and the Company’s ability to raise capital. The Company’s 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 March 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $ 18.1 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$ 30.4 million, stockholders’ equity of approximately $ 18.9 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 329.3 million.
The Company is in the pre-revenue stage and no revenues are expected in the foreseeable future. The Company’s future operations
are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as its ability to secure
additional financing as needed. Although our cash balance is projected to sustain operations over the next nine months from the balance
sheet date. Projected cash flows could be extended beyond that period of time, if further measures are taken to delay planned expenditures in our research protocols and slow the progress in the Company’s
development and launch of next phase clinical programs, the Company’s current planned operations to meet certain goals and objectives.
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.
Although management continues to pursue the Company’s
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 Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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, 2023 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 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
August 16, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). A summary of significant accounting policies can also be found in those audited financial
statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.
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, par value $ 0.0001
per share (“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 restricted stock units. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, such
amounts were excluded from the diluted loss since their effect was considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the periods.
The table below shows the number of outstanding stock
options, warrants and restricted stock units as of March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposits
and money market funds held at banks and funds held in brokerage accounts which included a U.S. treasury money market fund and U.S. Treasury
Bills with original maturities of three months or less.
Investments in U.S. Treasury Bills
Investments in U.S. Treasury Bills with
maturities greater than three months on the date of purchase, are accounted for as available for sale and are recorded at fair
value. Unrealized gains were included in other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying condensed statements of operations
and comprehensive loss. Upon the maturity and settlement of these investments, realized gains were recorded as a component of
interest income on the accompanying condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Concentration of Credit Risk in the Financial Service
Industry
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash deposited
in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these
financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March
and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions
due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these and other current events have
not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect
to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into
new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Fair value measurement of assets and liabilities
We determine the fair values of our financial instruments
based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the
fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through
market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs based
on our assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments include
cash, accounts payable, the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities, notes payable and other derivative liabilities (see Note
9). The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying
amounts of notes payable and operating lease liabilities approximate their fair values since they bear interest at rates which approximate
market rates for similar debt instruments.

Related Party Transactions
Equity Transactions with Acuitas
On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into a
securities purchase agreement with Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (“Acuitas”), the Company’s majority stockholder,
pursuant to which Acuitas agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement, (i) an aggregate of 3,636,364
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price of $1.65 per share (the “PIPE Shares”), and (ii) a warrant to
purchase 7,272,728 shares of Common Stock (“PIPE Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price of $1.82, with a term of
exercise of five years. The warrant’s down round feature reduced the exercise price of the warrant to $1.00 per share on March
6, 2024 in connection with the offering further described in Note 10 as the Company sold stock at a price lower than the initial exercise price of the warrant. The Company calculated the difference in fair value of the
warrants between the stated exercise price and the reduced exercise price and recorded $ 886,423
as a deemed dividend. The fair value of the warrants were estimated using the Black Scholes Method with the following inputs, the
stock price of $ 1.07 ,
exercise price of $ 1.82
and $ 1.00 ,
remaining term 3.4
years, risk free rate of 4.4 %
and volatility of 95.0 % .
On August 15, 2022, the Company received net proceeds
of approximately $5.9 million, net of costs of approximately $94,000, and entered into an amended and restated registration agreement
with Acuitas, which amended and restated that certain registration rights agreement, dated as of June 10, 2021, by and between the Company
and Acuitas (the “Existing Registration Rights Agreement”), to amend the definition of “Registrable Securities”
in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement to include the PIPE Shares and the PIPE Warrant Shares as Registrable Securities thereunder.

Other Liabilities
The current portion of other liabilities at June 30,
2023 was approximately $ 48,000 and represented the remaining balance of a retention bonus payable for arrangements with certain employees,
which was paid in July 2023.

Notes Payable
On November 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”),
the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and the Supplement to the Loan and Security Agreement and Promissory Notes (together,
the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“AVOPI”) and Avenue Venture Opportunities
Fund II, L.P. (“AVOPII,” and together with AVOPI, “Avenue”) for growth capital loans in an aggregate commitment
amount of up to $20 million (the “Loan”). On the Closing Date, $15 million of the Loan was funded (“Tranche 1”).
The Loan provided for an additional $5 million to be available to the Company on or prior to September 15, 2022, subject to the Company’s
achievement of certain milestones with respect to certain of its ongoing clinical trials, which were not achieved. The Loan bears interest
at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) the sum of 7.00 % plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (b) 10.75%.
The prime rate at March 31, 2024 was 8.50 % . The Loan is secured by a lien upon and security interest in all of the Company’s assets,
including intellectual property, subject to agreed exceptions. The maturity date of the Loan is December 1, 2024.
The Loan Agreement required monthly interest-only
payments during the first eighteen months of the term of the Loan. Following the interest-only period, on July 1, 2023, the Company pays
equal monthly payments of principal, plus accrued interest, until the Loan’s maturity date when all remaining principal and accrued
interest is due. If the Company prepays the Loan, it will be required to pay (a) a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 3.0% of the principal
amount of the Loan that is prepaid during the interest-only period; and (b) a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal
amount of the Loan that is prepaid after the interest-only period. At the Loan’s maturity date, or on the date of the prepayment
of the Loan, the Company will be obligated to pay a final payment equal to 4.25% of the Loan commitment amount, the sum of Tranche 1 and
Tranche 2.

Notes Payable (continued)
The Loan Agreement includes a conversion option to
convert up to $5.0 million of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding at the option of Avenue, into shares of the Company’s
Common Stock at a conversion price of $6.98 per share.
On the Closing Date, the Company issued to Avenue
warrants to purchase 361,002 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Avenue Warrants”) at an exercise price per share
equal to $5.82. The Avenue Warrants are exercisable until November 30, 2026.
The amount of the carrying value of the notes payable
was determined by allocating portions of the outstanding principal of the notes; approximately $ 1.4 million to the fair value of the Avenue
Warrants and approximately $ 2.2 million to the fair value of the embedded conversion option. Accordingly, the total amount of unearned
discount of approximately $ 3.6 million, the total direct financing cost of approximately $ 390,000 and premium of $ 850,000 being recognized
on an effective interest method over the term of the Loan. The adjusted effective interest rate is 25%.
The total interest expense of approximately $ 629,000
and $ 1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was recognized in the accompanying condensed statements
of operations and comprehensive loss. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 included the interest payments
totaling approximately $ 327,000 and $ 547,000 , the amortization of financing costs of approximately $ 24,000 and $ 43,000 , unearned discount
of approximately $ 222,000 and $ 400,000 and the accretion of loan premium of approximately $ 52,000 and $ 93,000 , respectively. The total
interest expense of approximately $ 2.5 million and $ 3.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was recognized
in the accompanying condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2024
and 2023 included interest payments totaling approximately $ 1.3 million and $ 1.5 million, the amortization of financing costs of approximately
$ 92,000 and $ 128,000 , unearned discount of approximately $ 867,000 and $ 1.2 million and the accretion of loan premium of approximately
$ 201,000 and $ 329,000 , respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, the remaining principal balance
of $7.5 million under the Loan is payable in 9 monthly equal installments. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company
paid back $2.5 million and $7.5 million respectively, of the original loan of $15 million.

The fair values of derivative liabilities for the
Avenue Warrants and the conversion option of the Note at March 31, 2024 in the accompanying condensed balance sheet, were approximately
$21,000 and approximately zero, respectively. The total change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities totaled approximately $109,000
and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively; and accordingly, was recorded in the accompanying condensed
statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model to value the derivative liabilities at
March 31, 2024 included the closing stock price of $ 0.53 per share; for the Avenue Warrants, the exercise price of $ 5.82 , remaining term
2.7 years, risk free rate of 4.5 % and volatility of 93.0 % ; and for the embedded derivative liability of the conversion option, the conversion
price of $ 6.98 ; remaining term 0.67 years, risk free rate of 5.3 % and volatility of 104.0 % .
Derivative liability – Avenue 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 Company’s own stock because of full-rachet and anti-dilution
provisions or adjustments to the strike price due to an occurrence of a future event are accounted for as derivative financial instruments.
The Avenue Warrants were not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock, and accordingly, were recorded as a derivative
liability at fair value in the accompanying condensed balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
The Black Scholes model was used to calculate the
fair value of the warrant derivative to bifurcate the warrant derivative amount from the Avenue Loan amount funded. The Avenue Warrants
are recorded at their fair values at the date of issuance and remeasured at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
Embedded derivative liability – Conversion
Option
The embedded derivative liability represents the optional
conversion feature of up to $5.0 million of the outstanding Loan, which meets the definition of a derivative and requires bifurcation
from the loan amount.
The Black Scholes model was used to calculate the
fair value of the embedded derivative to bifurcate the embedded derivative amount representing the conversion option from the Avenue Loan
amount funded.
Financial assets
As of March 31, 2024, investments in U.S. Treasury

$ 6,500 after 3 % commissions and expenses of approximately $ 201 . During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 3,337,487
shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for total net proceeds of $ 9.3 million after 3 % commissions and expenses of approximately
$ 377,000 .
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the
Company sold 1,515,078 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for total net proceeds of $ 9.8 million after 3 % commissions and

Issuance and modification of restricted stock units and options:
On November 23, 2022, the Company issued equity awards
for the board of directors’ annual compensation. Four directors received restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to purchase
a total of 155,636 shares of common stock at the grant date fair value of $ 6.12 per share, a total cost of $ 952,492 was recognized as
stock compensation in the three months ended December 31, 2022. Three directors received stock options to purchase 195,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $ 6.12 per share. The total stock compensation cost of these stock options of $ 791,700 was recognized as
stock compensation in the three months ended December 31, 2022. The equity awards vest quarterly over the annual service period from November
9, 2023 to the next annual shareholders’ meeting. While the agreements contain certain contractual vesting terms, there are circumstances
where the vesting can be accelerated that is not within the Company’s control and as a result, for accounting purposes, the awards
are assumed to have been fully vested on the grant date, accordingly, the Company recognized the total compensation cost of $ 1,744,192
on November 23, 2022.
On November 9, 2023, the Company issued equity awards
for the board of directors’ annual compensation. Four directors received restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to purchase
a total of 182,696 shares of common stock at the grant date fair value of $ 3.01 per share, a total cost of $ 137,479 and $ 215,383 was recognized
as stock compensation in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Two directors received stock options to purchase
183,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 3.01 per share. The total stock compensation cost related to these stock options
of $ 83,837 and $ 118,303 was recognized in the three months and nine ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The equity awards vest
quarterly over the annual service period from November 9, 2023, on February 9, 2024, May 9, 2024, August 9, 2024 and earlier of November
9, 2024 or the next annual shareholders’ meeting.

Equity Transactions (continued)
In December 2023, the Company terminated five employees
and as part of their severance agreement modified their equity awards that had been granted pursuant to the 2019 Omnibus Plan. The modifications
included the acceleration of certain tranche vesting of stock option awards to purchase a total of 56,233 shares of common stock (“Accelerated
Options”), effective on the December Separation Date, as defined in severance agreement (“Separation Date”); and extended
the expiration date for one year from the Separation Date for both the Accelerated Options and any vested and unexercised stock options
held by the terminated employees as of the Separation Date. Accordingly, the Company remeasured the modified awards based on the stock
price of $1.54 per share at the close on the Separation Date and a one-year life. The net adjustment for both stock option modifications
was a net credit of $127,199 and was recognized as adjustment to stock compensation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
The modification also included the acceleration of
an additional tranche vesting of 10,302 Restricted Stock Units, (“RSUs”) as of the Separation date. The modified RSUs were

Shareholder class action complaint
On January 19, 2024, a purported shareholder class
action complaint, captioned Eric Olmstead v. BioVie Inc. et al. , No. 3:24-cv-00035, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Nevada, naming the Company and certain of its officers and/or directors as defendants. On April 15, 2024 the court ordered
the motion to consolidate the six pending motions, appointed the lead plaintiff and approved selection of the lead counsel, now captioned
Olmstead v. BioVie Inc., et al., Case 3:24-cv-0035 LRH-CSD and Way v. BioVie Inc., et al., Case No. 2:24-cv-00361-LRH-CSD. The lawsuit
alleges that the Company made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact relating to the Company’s business,
operations, compliance, and prospects, including information related to the study and trial of bezisterim (NE3107), in
violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The class
action is on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities during the period from August 5, 2021 through November 29, 2023 and
seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees.
The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit
and intends to defend the case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable to make any prediction regarding
the outcome of the litigation. No adjustment or accruals have been reflected in the accompanying condensed financial statements.
