2024 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 or (“Bezisterim”). Bezisterim, the approved generic name for 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 Beizisterim could, if approved by the 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 Bezisterim (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
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 potential 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 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.
Parkinson’s Disease
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.
8
Table of Contents
To extend this Phase 2 data in progressed patients,
the Company has designed a new Phase 2 study of bezisterim (NE3107) as a potential first line therapy to treat patients with new onset
PD. In July 2024, the Company submitted the new protocol and received a response from the FDA which permitted the Company to proceed with
the study. The trial is anticipated to commence during the first calendar quarter of 2025.
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 of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. In August 2024, U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command,
Office of Human Research Oversight (“OHRO”) approved the Company’s plan to evaluate bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment
of neurological symptoms that are associated with long COVID. and the FDA authorized our Investigational New Drug (“IND”)
application for bezisterim (NE3107) allowing the Company to study a novel, anti-inflammatory approach or the treatment of the debilitating
neurocognitive symptoms associated with long covid. The Company anticipates the trial to commence by first calendar quarter of 2025. The
Company was reimbursed approximately $325,000 for trial costs during the six months ended December 31, 2024. Subsequent to December 31,
2024, additional reimbursements of approximately $2.6 million were received for trial costs incurred through December 31, 2024.
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.
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 and Going Concern
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 December 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $ 23.2 million, cash and cash equivalents totaling
approximately $ 24.4 million, stockholders’ equity of approximately $ 23.9 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 345.9
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. Projected cash flows could be extended if further measures are taken to delay planned expenditures on
our research protocols and slow the progress in the Company’s development and launch of next phase clinical programs.

Table of Contents
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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(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, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
September 30, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). A summary of significant accounting policies can also be found in those audited
financial statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposits
and money market funds held at a bank and funds held in a brokerage account 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, are accounted for as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Realized gains were included in the
accompanying condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the settlement of available-for-sale investments during the
six months ended December 31, 2023. The Company had no outstanding investment securities with original maturities of greater than three
months at the time of purchase as of and during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024.
Concentration of Credit Risk in the Financial Service
Industry
As of December 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, if 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 and cash equivalents, accounts payable and the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities and notes payable. 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.
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 and six months
ending December 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 presented.
The table below shows the potential shares of common stock, presented
based on amounts outstanding at each period end, which were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to
common stockholders because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

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 bore 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 Loan was secured by a lien upon and security interest in all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual
property, subject to agreed exceptions. The Loan was paid in full on its maturity date of December 1, 2024 along with a final payment
equal to 4.25 % of the Loan commitment amount, or $850,000, the (“Loan Premium”).
The Loan Agreement included 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 $69.80 per share (the “Conversion Option”).
On the Closing Date, the Company also issued to Avenue
warrants to purchase 36,101 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Avenue Warrants”) at an exercise price per share equal
to $58.20. 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, resulting in approximately $ 1.4 million allocated to
the fair value of the Avenue Warrants, and approximately $ 2.2 million allocated 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 the
Loan Premium of $ 850,000 were amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Loan.

comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Interest expense associated with this loan was comprised of interest
incurred on the outstanding principal of the loan of approximately $ 33,000 , amortization of financing costs of approximately $ 2,000 , amortization
of the unearned discount of $ 22,000 , and the accretion of the Loan Premium of approximately $ 5,000 . Total interest expense associated
with the Loan was approximately $ 312,000 , which is reflected as a component of interest expense on the accompanying condensed statements
of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Interest expense associated with this loan was comprised
of interest incurred on the outstanding principal of the loan of approximately $ 163,000 , amortization of financing costs of approximately
$ 12,000 , amortization of the unearned discount of approximately $ 111,000 , and the accretion of the Loan Premium of approximately $ 26,000 .

loss. Interest expense was comprised of interest incurred on the outstanding principal of the loan of approximately $ 429,000 , amortization
of financing costs of approximately $ 31,000 , amortization of the unearned discount of approximately $ 289,000 and the accretion of Loan
Premium of approximately $ 67,000 . Total interest expense associated with the Loan for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was approximately

approximately $ 3,519 and $ 1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively; and accordingly, was recorded
in the accompanying condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model to value
the derivative liabilities at December 31, 2024 included the closing stock price of $ 2.00 per share; for the Avenue Warrants, the exercise
price of $ 58.20 , remaining term 1.9 years, risk free rate of 4.2 % and volatility of 95.0 % . The Conversion Option was nil as of December
31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.
Derivative liability – Avenue Warrants
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 December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
The Black Scholes model was used to calculate the
fair value of the derivative warrant to bifurcate the amount from the Avenue Loan amount funded. The Avenue Warrants are recorded at fair
value at the date of issuance and remeasured at each subsequent reporting period end date.
Embedded derivative liability – Conversion
Option
The Conversion Option was accounted for as an embedded
derivative liability and required bifurcation from the Loan amount. The Black Scholes model was used to calculate the fair value of the
Conversion Option to bifurcate it from the Loan.

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 as defendants. On February 22, 2024, a second, related putative
securities class action was filed in the same court asserting similar claims against the same defendants, captioned Way v. BioVie Inc.
et al. , No. 2:24-cv-00361. On April 15, 2024, the court consolidated these two actions under the caption In re BioVie Inc. Securities
Litigation , No. 3:24-cv-00035, appointed the lead plaintiff, and approved selection of the lead counsel. On June 21, 2024, the lead
plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that the defendants made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact
relating to the Company’s business, operations, compliance, and prospects, including information related to the NM101 Phase 3 study
and trial of bezisterim (NE3107) in mild to moderate probable AD, in violation of Sections
10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The class action is on behalf of purchasers
of the Company’s securities during the period from December 7, 2022 through November 28, 2023, and seeks unspecified monetary damages
on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the amended complaint on August 21, 2024, and plaintiffs filed their opposition on October 21, 2024 and the defendants’
reply brief was filed on December 5, 2024.
On December 30, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the
United States District Court for the District of Nevada by putative stockholder Andrew Hulm, allegedly on behalf of the Company, that
piggy-backs on the securities class action also pending in that court. The derivative complaint names certain current and former officers
and directors as defendants, and generally alleges that they breached their fiduciary duties by causing or failing to prevent the securities
violations alleged in the securities class action.
The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intend to defend
vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Employee Benefit Plan
On August 1, 2021, the Company began sponsoring an
employee benefit plan subject to Section 401(K) of the Internal Revenue Service Code (the “401K Plan”) pursuant to which,
all employees meeting eligibility requirements are able to participate.
Subject to certain limitations in the Internal Revenue
Code, eligible employees are permitted to make contributions to the 401K Plan on a pre-tax salary reduction basis and the Company will
match 5% of the first 5% of an employee’s contributions to the 401K Plan. The Company made contributions into the plan of approximately
$ 27,500 and $ 20,500 , for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company made contributions into the plan
of approximately $ 62,000 and $ 51,400 , for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
