we use the words “intends,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues,”
“anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “could,”
“may,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, we are identifying forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These factors include our research and development
activities, distributor channel; compliance with regulatory impositions; and our capital needs. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Except as may be required by applicable law, we do
not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that
our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should
carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may affect our business.
All statements other than statements of historical
fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these
forward-looking statements, except as required by law. When used in this report, the terms “BioVie”, “Company”,

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 beziisterim
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.
Neurodegenerative 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. Bezisterim (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.
Parkinson’s Disease
To extend the Phase 2 data in progressed patients
from the previous Phase 2 study that completed in December 2022, the Company 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 commenced in April 2025.
The previous Phase 2 study of bezisterim (NE3107)
for the treatment of PD (NCT05083260) that 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 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 in May 2025. The Company was reimbursed
approximately $2.5 million and $2.8 million for trial costs incurred during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, additional reimbursements of approximately $141,000 were received for trial costs incurred through March
31, 2025.

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 bezisterim (NE3107) in the treatment of mild to moderate AD. The
study had 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 bezisterim (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.
Liver Disease Program
In liver disease, our investigational drug candidate BIV201 (continuous
infusion terlipressin), which was granted both FDA Fast Track designation status and FDA Orphan Drug Status, is being evaluated as a treatment
option for patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis caused by non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis, and alcoholism. The initial target for BIV201 therapy was refractory ascites.
After receiving guidance from the FDA regarding the
design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the treatment of patients with cirrhosis and ascites, the Company is now targeting a
broader ascites patient population. The Company is currently finalizing the protocol design for the Phase 3 study of BIV201 with a focus
on demonstrating clinical benefit through a composite primary endpoint of complications and disease progression in patients with cirrhosis
and ascites who have recently recovered from acute kidney injury (“AKI”). This patient population is not limited to those
having refractory ascites. BIV201 is administered as a patent-pending liquid formulation with patents issued in US, China, Japan, Chile
and India to date.
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. By October 2022, there were 15 patients enrolled for treatment and the last patient completed treatment
in May 2023.
In March 2023, 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.
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 March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of approximately $ 21.2 million, cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately
$ 23.2 million, stockholders’ equity of approximately $ 21.8 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 348.7 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.
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.

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, 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
nine months ended March 31, 2024. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2025.
Concentration of Credit Risk in the Financial Service
Industry
As of March 31, 2025, 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 the Company’s Class A common stock (“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 nine months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of
Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”), which will require additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income
statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard
requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as
well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with
the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting
standard update on its financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting
(Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," to enhance disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public
entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. The standard did not change the definition of a segment, the
method for determining segments or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The amendments are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective
adoption is required for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact
to our financial statements or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
"Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements in Income Tax Disclosures" to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income
tax disclosures. This amendment requires public companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional
information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, under the amendment entities are required to disclose
the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, as well as disaggregated by material individual jurisdictions.
Finally, the amendment requires entities to disclose income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between
domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The new rules are
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We will adopt this standard on a prospective basis as allowed by the
standard. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

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”) and the lien upon and security interest in
all of the Company’s assets was released.
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.
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 nine months ended March 31, 2025. 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 .

Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s derivative liabilities during the nine months ended
March 31, 2025 related to the Avenue Warrants is a level 3 liability measured at fair value.
The fair value of the Avenue Warrants at March 31, 2025, in the accompanying
condensed balance sheets, was nil. The total change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities totaled approximately $ 3,771 and $ 1.8
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and approximately $ 7,290 and $ 109,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024, 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 March 31,
2025 included the closing stock price of $ 0.98 per share; for the Avenue Warrants, the exercise price of $ 58.20 , remaining term 1.7 years,
risk free rate of 3.9 % and volatility of 86.0 % . The Conversion Option was nil as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 as the corresponding
debt matured and was repaid in December 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 March 31, 2025 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.

Equity Transactions
Issuance of common stock for cash
On March 6, 2024, the Company closed a best efforts
public offering (the “Offering”) of 15,000,000
shares (the “Shares”) of its Common Stock, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase

Shareholder class action complaint and shareholder derivative complaints
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 that motion was fully briefed as of December 5, 2024. On March 27, 2025, the court denied the defendants’
motion to dismiss, allowing the case to move into fact discovery .
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.
On April 28, 2025, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed
in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by putative stockholder William Settel, allegedly on behalf of the Company,
that likewise piggy-backs on the securities class action. The Settel derivative complaint alleges essentially the same claims as the Hulm
derivative action against the same defendants based on the same alleged conduct.
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.

The following discussion of the Company’s financial
condition and the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this report.
Management’s Discussion
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.
Neurodegenerative Disease Program
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. In April 2024, the Company announced that the United States Adopted Names Council, and the World
Health Organization International Nonproprietary Names expert committee had approved “bezisterim” as the non-proprietary (generic)
name for NE3107. Bezisterim (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 AD and PD, and bezisterim (NE3107) could,
if approved by 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.
In neurodegenerative disease, bezisterim (NE3107)
inhibits activation of inflammatory ERK and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (“NFκB”)
(including interactions with TNF signaling and other relevant inflammatory pathways) that lead to neuroinflammation and insulin resistance.
Bezisterim (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.
Chronic 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.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (“PD”) is driven
in large part by neuroinflammation and activation of brain microglia, leading to increased proinflammatory cytokines (particularly TNF).
Multiple daily administrations of levodopa (converted to dopamine in the brain) is the current standard of care treatment for this movement
disorder. However, levodopa effectiveness diminishes over time necessitating increased dosage and prolonged daily administration leads
to side effects of uncontrolled movements called levodopa-induced dyskinesia, commonly referred to as LID, which is exacerbated by high
dose levodopa. Although levodopa provides symptomatic benefit, it does not slow PD progression.
21
Table of Contents
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.
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 commenced in April 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 in May 2025.
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 as
a treatment option for patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis caused by
non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis, and alcoholism. The initial target for BIV201 therapy was 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.
After receiving guidance from the FDA regarding the
design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the treatment of patients with cirrhosis and ascites, the Company is now targeting a
broader ascites patient population. The Company is currently finalizing the protocol design for the Phase 3 study of BIV201 with a focus
on demonstrating clinical benefit through a composite primary endpoint of complications and disease progression in patients with cirrhosis
and ascites who have recently recovered from acute kidney injury (“AKI”). This patient population is not limited to those
having refractory ascites. BIV201 is administered as a patent-pending liquid formulation with patents issued in US, China, Japan, Chile
and India to date.
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 were the incidence of ascites-related complications and change in ascites fluid accumulation during treatment compared
to a pre-treatment period. By October 12, 2022, there were 15 patients enrolled for treatment and the last patient completed treatment
on May 2023.
In March 2023, 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.

ended March 31, 2024
Net loss
The net loss for the three months ended March
31, 2025 was approximately $2.8 million as compared to the net loss of $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net
decrease of $5.3 million is due to a decrease in research and development expenses of $4.4 million, decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses of approximately $388,000, and a decline in other expense of approximately $536,000.
Total operating expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2025 were approximately $3.0 million as compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net
decrease of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was comprised of decreased research and development expenses
of approximately $4.4 million primarily due to the completion of clinical trials in the prior fiscal year and a net decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses of approximately $388,000.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses
were approximately $1.3 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $4.4 million net
decrease was primarily attributed to a decline in expenses of approximately $2.9 million from studies that completed in prior fiscal year
and other related expenses such as the clinical teams’ payroll of approximately $262,000, reflecting the reduction in force in December
2023, and a decrease in consultancy expense of approximately $678,000, resulting from declining use of consultants as the clinical studies
were completed, a decrease in Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”) and new drug discovery totaling approximately
$354,000, a reduction in the use of regulatory and other consultants totaling approximately $29,000, and a decrease in related expenses
of approximately $18,000 in travel, conferences and publications.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.6 million and $2.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The net decrease in expenses of approximately $388,000 were primarily
attributed to decreases in directors’ compensation of approximately $201,000, executive teams’ compensation of $148,000 and
legal fees of approximately $121,000, offset by increased expenses comprising of increased audit, accounting and regulatory filing fees
of approximately $19,000, other consulting and professional fees of approximately $25,000, public and investor relations fees of $8,000
and miscellaneous expenses for website development, travel and other banking fees totaling approximately $23,000.
Other Income and Expense
Other income, net was approximately $200,000 compared
to other expense, net of $336,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The net decrease in other expense
of approximately $536,000 was comprised of the decrease in the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of approximately $102,000,
offset by a decline in interest expense of approximately $624,000 due to the payoff of the notes payable on December 1, 2024, and an increase
in interest income of approximately $14,000.
Comparison of the nine months ended March 31, 2025 to the nine months
ended March 31, 2024
Net loss
The net loss for the nine months ended March 31,
2025 was approximately $14.1 million as compared to the net loss of $27.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The net decrease
of $13.1 million was primarily attributed to decline in research and development expenses of $13.0 million, and a net increase in other
income, net of approximately $140,000.
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended
March 31, 2025 were approximately $14.4 million and $27.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The net decrease of approximately
$13.0 million was primarily due to decreased research and development expenses of approximately $13.0 million due to the completion of
clinical trials in the prior fiscal year.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were approximately $8.0 million and
$21.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $13.0 million reduction was primarily attributed to
the completion of the clinical studies in the prior fiscal year and comprised of a declines in direct study costs of approximately $7.6
million, and the related expenses such as the clinical team payroll of $1.6 million, reflecting the reduction in force in December 2023,
and consultants expenses of $2.6 million, reflecting a declining use of consultants and a reduction in the use of regulatory and other
consultants totaling approximately $469,000 as the clinical studies completed in the prior fiscal year. Other decrease included a decrease
in CMC and new drug discovery totaling approximately $535,000, and a decrease in travel & conferences of approximately $76,000 and
publications of approximately $127,000.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
nine months ended March 31, 2025, was approximately $6.2 million and was comparable to approximately $6.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 2024. The net fluctuations in expenses were primarily comprised of decreases in directors’ compensation of approximately
$339,000, executive teams’ compensation of approximately $416,000, investor and public relation fees of $131,000 offset by increases
in other professional and consultancy fees of $566,000, legal fees of approximately $255,000, audit and accounting fees of approximately
$72,000, and insurance premiums of approximately $31,000.

nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $210,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The net increase in other
income of approximately $140,000 was comprised of a decrease in the change in fair value of the related derivative liabilities of approximately

Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of approximately
$21.2 million, cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $23.2 million, stockholders’ equity of approximately $21.8 million,
and an accumulated deficit of approximately $348.7 million.
The Company used net cash in operations totaling approximately
$13.4 million and net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $12.7 million comprised of net proceeds from the capital
raise activities of $15.7 million and proceeds from exercise of warrants of $2.9 million offset by the payment of $5.0 million of the
Company’s notes payable and payment of the $850,000 loan premium.
The Company has not generated any revenue, 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. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2025, the
Company added a Grant Program accounting policy that is disclosed in the Significant Accounting Policies section of this Form 10-Q. There
were no other significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as identified in the Annual Report Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Table of Contents
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considered the applicability and impact
of recent accounting pronouncements and determined those to be either not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on our balance
sheets or statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures.”
Such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls
and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide 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 occurred during the three months ended March
31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, other than described below, 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.
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 that motion was fully briefed as of December 5, 2024. On March 27, 2025, the court denied the defendants’
motion to dismiss, allowing the case to move into fact discovery. The defendants believe that the claims are without merit and
intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
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 derivative complaint also alleges claims for unjust enrichment,
waste of corporate assets, gross mismanagement, and abuse of control as against all defendants. The defendants believe that the claims
are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
On April 28, 2025, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed
in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by putative stockholder William Settel, allegedly on behalf of the Company,
that alleges essentially the same claims as in the Hulm derivative litigation, against the same defendants based on the same alleged conduct.
The Settel derivative complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment,
abuse of control, and waste of corporate assets against all defendants. The defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend
to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than as described below, there have been no material changes
to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2024 (the “2024 Form
10-K”), our quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2024 (the “Q1 2025 10-Q”) and our quarterly report for
the period ended December 31, 2024 (the “Q2 2025 10-Q”). The risks described in our 2024 Form 10-K, our Q1 2025 10-Q, our
Q2 2025 10-Q and below are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company
or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
We rely and will continue to rely on third parties
to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines
or do not successfully perform and comply with regulatory requirements, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval of or commercialize
our product candidates.
We depend, and will continue to depend, on third parties,
including, but not limited to, contract research organizations (“CROs”), clinical trial sites and clinical trial principal
investigators, contract laboratories, IRBs, manufacturers, suppliers, and other third parties to conduct our clinical trials, including
those for our drug candidates bezisterim (NE3107) and BIV201. We rely heavily on these third parties over the course of our clinical trials,
and we control only certain aspects of their activities. Nevertheless, we retain ultimate responsibility for ensuring that each of our
studies is conducted in accordance with the protocol and applicable legal, regulatory, and scientific standards and regulations, and our
reliance on third parties does not relieve the Company of our regulatory responsibilities. We and these third parties are required to
comply with cGCPs, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities for the conduct
of clinical trials on product candidates in clinical development. Regulatory authorities enforce cGCPs through periodic inspections and
for-cause inspections of clinical trial principal investigators and trial sites. If, due to the failure of either the Company or a third
party, a clinical trial fails to comply with applicable cGCPs, FDA’s IND requirements, other applicable regulatory requirements,
or requirements set forth in the applicable IRB-approved protocol, the Company may be required to conduct additional clinical trials to
support our marketing applications, which would delay the regulatory approval process.
29
Table of Contents
Although we design the clinical trials for our product
candidates, our CROs are tasked with facilitating and monitoring these trials. As a result, many aspects of our clinical development programs,
including site and investigator selection, and the conduct, timing, and monitoring of the study, is outside our direct control, either
partially or in whole. Our reliance on third parties to conduct clinical trials also results in less direct control over the collection,
management, and quality of data developed through clinical trials than would be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own employees.
Communicating with third parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes as well as difficulties in coordinating activities.
Our business may be impacted if any of these third parties violates applicable federal, state, or foreign laws and/or regulations, including
but not limited to FDA’s IND regulations, cGCPs, fraud and abuse or false claims laws, healthcare privacy and data security laws,
or provide the Company or government agencies with inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete data.

Risks Relating To Our Common Stock
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.
As of March 31, 2025, our Articles of Incorporation,
as amended, authorize the issuance of 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and we had 18,545,735 shares of Common Stock issued and 18,517,376
issued and outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 781,454,265 shares of Common Stock. The future issuance of Common
Stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Common Stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any
Common Stock in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Common Stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate
actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, might have an adverse effect on any trading market
for our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.
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. We may sell
shares or other securities in offerings at a price per share that is less than the current market price of our securities, and investors
purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The sale of additional shares
of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock would dilute all of our stockholders, and
if such sales of convertible securities into or exchangeable into our Common Stock occur at a deemed issuance price that is lower than
the current exercise price of our outstanding warrants sold to Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (“Acuitas”) in August 2022, the
exercise price for those warrants would adjust downward to the deemed issuance price pursuant to price adjustment protection contained
within those warrants.
As of March 31, 2025, there were warrants outstanding
to purchase an aggregate of 9,600,564 shares of our Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.37 to $125.00 per share and 887,129
shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options at exercise prices ranging from $1.90 to $420.90 per share and restricted stock units
totaling 109,039. We may also grant additional options, warrants or equity 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 our
Common Stock upon achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones with respect to certain of our drug candidates
(i.e., bezisterim (NE3107), NE3291, NE3413, and NE3789) pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, dated April 27, 2021, by and among the
Company, NeurMedix and Acuitas, as amended on May 9, 2021. The achievement of these milestones could result in the issuance of up to 1.8
million shares of our Common Stock, further diluting the interest of holders of our Common Stock.
If we fail to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement
prior to the one-year anniversary of our prior reverse stock split, we would be issued a delisting determination, and if our Common Stock
were delisted from Nasdaq, it would adversely affect the liquidity of our Common Stock and the market price of our Common Stock could
decrease.
Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. Nasdaq has minimum
requirements that a company maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. If a company fails to maintain Nasdaq’s minimum
bid price requirement for a period of 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will deem the company noncompliant. In January 2025,
the SEC approved amendments to Nasdaq’s minimum bid price compliance rules designed to limit reliance on reverse stock splits.
The amendments provide that if a company fails to meet the bid price requirement and the company has effected a reverse stock split over
the prior one-year period, the company would not be eligible for any compliance period to address the bid price deficiency.
Instead, Nasdaq will move forward with delisting proceedings. We previously effected a reverse stock split on August 6, 2024. If we fail
to meet the minimum bid price requirement prior to the one-year anniversary of our prior reverse stock split, or August 6, 2025, we would
not be granted a compliance period and would be issued a delisting determination.
Since we have a recent history of our Common Stock trading below $1.00,
we are currently considering available options to ensure continued compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, including
taking steps to effect a reverse stock split. There is no guarantee that any corrective measures we take would help us maintain compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement or other Nasdaq listing rules. If our Common Stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our Common
Stock would be adversely affected and the market price of our Common Stock could decrease. Our failure to be listed on Nasdaq or another
national securities exchange would have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment in us.
