INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024)
1.
Organization
Nature
of Business
Celcuity
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of targeted
therapies for the treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate is gedatolisib, a kinase inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (“PI3K”),
serine/threonine-protein kinase protein kinase B (“AKT”), mechanistic target of rapamycin (“mTOR”) pathway that
binds to all class I PI3K isoforms and the mTOR complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. By targeting all class I PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, gedatolisib
induces comprehensive inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (“PAM”) pathway. Gedatolisib’s
mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties are differentiated from other currently approved and investigational therapies that
target PI3K or mTOR alone or together. A Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with
or without palbociclib in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is currently enrolling patients. Site selection activities for a Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and fulvestrant as
first-line treatment for patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, are completed and site activities have begun. The first patient is expected to be dosed in the
second quarter of 2025. A Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients
with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, is currently underway. The Company was co-founded in 2012 by Brian F. Sullivan
and Dr. Lance G. Laing and is based in Minnesota. The Company has not generated any revenues to date.

Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with Article
10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, as permitted by Article
10, the unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements
at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are
of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the financial statements. These unaudited condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024
and the related footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating
results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of
the current year or for any other future period.
Accounting
Estimates
Management
uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Those estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported
revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the difference could be material. Significant items subject
to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation and prepaid or accrued clinical trial costs.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks common to companies in the development stage including, but not limited to, the clinical and commercial success
of its initial drug product, gedatolisib, the regulatory approval of gedatolisib, the need for substantial additional financing to achieve
its goals, uncertainty of broad adoption of its approved products, if any, by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.
8
Clinical
Trial Costs
The
Company relies on third parties to conduct certain aspects of clinical studies and to formulate and manufacture our drug product. While
there are alternative vendors that can perform these functions, any disruption or delay by the Company’s current third parties
in carrying out their contractual duties could delay the clinical trials. The Company records prepaid assets or accrued expenses for
prepaid or estimated clinical trial costs conducted by third-party service providers, which includes the conduct of preclinical studies
and clinical trials. These costs can be a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses. The Company
primarily relies on a compilation of progress reports from third-party service providers, including the respective invoicing, to record
actual expenses, along with determining changes to prepaid assets and accrued liabilities. To date, the Company believes utilization
of third-party reports most accurately reflects expenses incurred. With the ongoing VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial and the CELC-G-201
Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, and the commencement of the VIKTORIA-2 Phase 3 clinical trial, the Company’s estimated expenses in future periods and actual services performed may vary from these
estimates, and these estimates may become more significant. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to the Company’s
prepaid assets or accrued expenses could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
3.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic
and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average
common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the common shares underlying the preferred stock, options, warrants,
and restricted stock have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average
shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.
The
following table summarizes the potentially-dilutive shares excluded from the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding:

Pre-funded
warrant shares of 5,747,787 are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, as the pre-funded warrants are exercisable for nominal consideration.
4.
Investments
Debt
securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported
at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Expected credit losses, if any, are recorded through
the establishment of an allowance for credit losses. All of the Company’s held-to-maturity
investment securities are U.S. Treasury and agencies securities that are guaranteed or otherwise
supported by the United States government and have no history of credit losses. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to incur any
credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities and has no allowance
for credit losses recorded for these securities.

5.
Commitments
Operating
and Finance Leases
The
Company leases its corporate space in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with an operating lease in place through April 30, 2026. The lease provides
for monthly rent, real estate taxes, and operating expenses. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Clinical
Research Studies
The
Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business to conduct research and development programs internally and through third
parties that include, among others, arrangements with vendors, consultants, contract manufacturing organizations, and contract research
organizations. The Company has a license agreement in place with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) to research, develop, manufacture
and commercialize gedatolisib. In conjunction with the license agreement, the Company completed a Phase 1b clinical trial – B2151009
related to gedatolisib. These patients subsequently transitioned to an Expanded Access study – CELC-G-001. Contracts related to
the Expanded Access study are generally based on time and material. In addition, contracts related to the Company’s Phase 3 clinical
studies (VIKTORIA-1 and VIKTORIA-2) and the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial (CELC-G-201) are generally cancelable with reasonable notice within
120 days and the Company’s obligations under these contracts are primarily based on services performed through termination dates
plus certain cancelation charges, if any, as defined in each of the respective agreements. In addition, these agreements may, from time
to time, be subject to amendments as a result of any change orders executed by the parties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had six
material non-cancelable contractual commitments with respect to these arrangements, which totaled approximately $ 6.9 million.

The
Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options of $ 2,260
and $ 1,290
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In January 2025, May 2022, December 2021 and May 2020, the Company modified previously granted stock option awards to certain employees. The total incremental compensation expense recognized as a result of the modifications was $ 141 and $ 45 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effect of these modifications on stock-based compensation over the remaining service periods will be $ 416 .

The
Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of equity-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions
for the three months ended March 31:
Schedule
of Assumptions for Fair Value of Equity-based Awards
2025

Expected life (years)
5.01
to 6.42
5.25
to 6.08
Expected dividend yield
0 %
0 %
The
inputs for the Black-Scholes valuation model require management’s significant assumptions. Prior to the Company’s initial
public offering, the price per share of common stock was determined by the Company’s board based on recent prices of common stock
sold in private offerings. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the price per share of common stock is determined by using the
closing market price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the grant date. The risk-free interest rates are based on the rate for U.S. Treasury
securities at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The expected life is
based on the simplified method for the time-based awards, in accordance
with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 107 and 110. The expected volatility is estimated based on historical volatility information
of peer companies that are publicly available in combination with the Company’s calculated volatility since being publicly traded
for the time-based awards.
All
assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of non-employee options are generally consistent with the assumptions used for
options granted to employees. In the event the Company terminates any of its consulting agreements, the unvested options issued in connection
with the agreements would also be cancelled.
The
Company had 1,079 and 1,958 shares of restricted stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and no shares of restricted
stock vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted
stock of $ 4 and $ 5 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The
Company initially reserved a maximum of 750,000 shares
of common stock for issuance under the 2017 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The number of
shares reserved for issuance was automatically increased by 371,432 and
255,060 shares
on January 1, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and will increase
automatically on January 1 of each year through 2027 by the number of shares equal to 1.0% of the aggregate number of outstanding
shares of Company common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31. However, the Company’s board may reduce the amount
of the increase in any particular year.
At
each of the Annual Meetings held on May 12, 2021 and May 12, 2022, the stockholders approved a 500,000
share increase each year to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan. At each of the Annual Meetings held on
May 11, 2023 and May 9, 2024, the stockholders approved a 1,500,000
share increase each year to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The total remaining shares available for
grant under the Company’s 2017 Plan as of March 31, 2025 was 1,007,905 .

On
May 30, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”)
with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as collateral agent, and the
Lenders including Innovatus in its capacity as a Lender and Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), pursuant to which Innovatus and
Oxford, as Lenders, have agreed to make certain term loans (“Term Loans”) to the Company in the aggregate principal amount
of up to $ 180 million. The A&R Loan Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated
April 8, 2021, as amended, between the Company and Innovatus, as collateral agent, and the Lenders named therein (the “Prior Loan
Agreement”).
Funding
of the first $ 100 million under the A&R Loan Agreement occurred on May 30, 2024, including tranche payments of $ 16.8 million (the
“Term A Loan”) and $ 21.5 million (the “Term B Loan”) reflecting repayment of the principal amount of loans under
the Prior Loan Agreement plus accrued payment-in-kind interest, in addition to $ 61.7 million of new borrowings (the “Term C Loan”).
The Company will be eligible to draw on a fourth tranche of $ 30 million (the “Term D Loan”) and fifth tranche of $ 50 million
(the “Term E Loan”), in each case upon achievement of certain clinical trial milestones and satisfaction of certain financial
covenants determined on a pro forma as-funded basis. The Lenders may, in their sole discretion upon the Company’s request, make
additional term loans to the Company of $ 45 million (the “Term F Loan”). Funding of these additional tranches is also subject
to other customary conditions and limits on when the Company can request funding for such tranches. Costs associated with the new borrowings
were approximately $ 2.4 million.
Pursuant
to the A&R Loan Agreement, the Company is entitled to make interest-only payments for thirty-six months, or up to forty-eight months
if certain conditions are met. The Term Loans will mature on May 1, 2029 and will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the
greater of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) or (ii) 7.75%, plus (b) 2.85%, provided that 1.0% of such interest
will be payable in-kind by adding an amount equal to such 1.0% of the outstanding principal amount to the then outstanding principal
balance on a monthly basis through May 31, 2027. The A&R Loan Agreement is secured by all assets of the Company. Proceeds will be
used for working capital purposes and to fund the Company’s general business requirements, including the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 clinical
trial. The A&R Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve-outs, and
includes financial covenants related to liquidity and other financial measures. Innovatus has the right, at its election and until August
9, 2025, to convert up to 20 % of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price
per share of $ 10.00 . Innovatus will continue to have the right to exercise a previously disclosed warrant granted to it under the Prior
Loan Agreement to purchase 26,042 shares of common stock at a price per share of $ 14.40 through April 8, 2031.

The
A&R Loan Agreement contains a Final Fee, which is equal to 4.5 % of the initial funding of the agreement and is due on the earliest
to occur of (a) the Maturity Date, (b) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (c) the prepayment of the Term Loans. There is also a contingent
non-utilization fee for both the Term D and Term E Loans. If the Company achieves the Term D Milestone and (i) fails to draw the full
amount of the Term D Loan during the Term D Draw Period and (ii) fails to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is
four weeks after the Company’s achievement of the Term D Milestone, of the Company’s intent not to draw the full amount of
the Term D Loan, a non-utilization fee of $ 0.9 million, with respect to the Term D Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest of
(i) the termination of the Term D Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment
in whole of the Term Loans. If the Company achieves the Term E Milestone and (i) fails to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan during
the Term E Draw Period and (ii) fails to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is four weeks after the Company’s
achievement of the Term E Milestone, of the Company’s intent not to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan, a non-utilization
fee of $ 1.5 million, with respect to the Term E Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest of (i) the termination of the Term
E Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment in whole of the Term Loans. After
the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans
advanced by the Lenders under the A&R Loan Agreement, provided the Company (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its
election to prepay the Term Loans at least seven Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Lenders on the date of such
prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding
principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Fee, (C) the Prepayment
Fee, plus (D) all other outstanding Obligations that are due and payable, including, without limitation, Lenders’ Expenses and
interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. At May 30, 2024, the Company recognized the Final Fee of $ 4.5 million
as additional debt principal and a corresponding debt discount to be amortized over the life of the loan.
In
connection with the funding of each of the Term C Loan, the Term D Loan, the Term E Loan and the Term F Loan, the Company agreed to issue
to Innovatus and Oxford warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5 % of the principal
amount of the applicable Term Loan divided by the exercise price, which shall, with respect to the Term C Loan, be equal to the lower
of (i) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last
trading day immediately preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day immediately
preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement. Accordingly, on May 30, 2024, the Company issued 103,876 warrants with an exercise
price of $ 14.84 per share. The relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $ 1.2 million. For the additional Term Loans, the
exercise price will be based on the lower of (i) the exercise price for the Warrants issued pursuant to the Term C Loan or (ii) the volume
weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately
preceding the applicable Term Loan funding. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable through the tenth anniversary
of the applicable funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise
price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant.
On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First
Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) pay Oxford an amendment fee of $40,000 on
the effective date of the First Amendment, (ii) extend to March 9, 2026 the expiration date of Innovatus’ right to convert up to
20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $10.00, (iii)
extend the expiration date of the Term D Draw Period to the earlier of (x) August 31, 2025 and (y) the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement), (iv) update the liquidity covenant to increase the Minimum Liquidity Percentage (as
defined in the First Amendment) to 50% if the Company fails to achieve the Term D Milestone prior to June 1, 2025 and to decrease the
Minimum Liquidity Percentage back to 30% if the Company subsequently achieves the Term D Milestone prior to the end of the Term D Draw
Period, and (v) release Innovatus and the Lenders from any and all claims arising out of or related to the A&R Loan Agreement, the
First Amendment and related documentation.
The
Company evaluated the change of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded the
change in terms did not result in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in a
modification of the debt and not an extinguishment of the debt.
