therapies and products that are or become available;
●
our ability to expand our

we may seek to develop, and our ability to serve those markets;

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note
1 – Description of Business and Liquidity
Nature
of Operations
Tharimmune,
Inc. (formerly, Hillstream BioPharma, Inc.) (“Tharimmune” or the “Company”) was incorporated on March 28, 2017,
as a Delaware C-corporation. At March 31, 2025, Tharimmune had one wholly-owned subsidiary: Hillstream Oncology, Inc. (“Hillstream
Oncology”), formerly, HB Pharma Corp.
Tharimmune
is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutic candidates in rare, inflammatory, and oncologic conditions with high
unmet need. On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a patent license agreement (the “Avior License Agreement”) with
Avior Inc. d/b/a Avior Bio, LLC (“Avior”) pursuant to which it received an exclusive sublicensable right and license to Licensed
Patent Rights and Licensed Technology to, among other things, Develop, have Developed, make, have made, use, sell, import, export and
commercialize TH104 and TH103) and to practice the Licensed Technology in connection with the foregoing, throughout the world (each as
defined in the Avior License Agreement). In February 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved an investigational
new drug (“IND”) application for TH104. TH104 has a dual mechanism of action by affecting multiple receptors, known to suppress
chronic, debilitating pruritis or “uncontrollable itching.” With respect to TH104, the Company intends to first seek approval
for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pruritis in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (“PBC”), an orphan
rare form of liver disease with no known cure in which more than 70% of patients suffer from debilitating chronic pruritis, and with
respect to TH103, it intends to develop the product candidate and potentially file an IND.
On
September 11, 2024, Tharimmune entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Intract Agreement”) with Intract Pharma
Limited (“Intract”), pursuant to which, the Company exclusively licensed INT-023/TH023, an oral anti-Tumor Necrosis
Factor-alpha (TNF-α) monoclonal antibody infliximab. Infliximab is a purified, recombinant DNA-derived chimeric IgG monoclonal
antibody protein that contains both murine and human components that inhibit tumor TNF-α. Under the terms of the Intract
Agreement, the Company licensed global development and commercialization rights (outside of South Korea) to Intract’s
Soteria® and Phloral® delivery platform along with an existing supply agreement for infliximab to be used in the oral
product development program.
The
Company is also developing an early-stage pipeline of novel therapeutic candidates targeting validated high value immuno-oncology (“IO”)
targets including human epidermal growth factor (“EGF”) receptor 2 (“HER2”), human EGF receptor 3 (“HER3”)
and programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1”). The Company is developing antibodies including bispecific antibodies, antibody
drug conjugates (“ADCs”) and small molecular weight bovine-derived Picobodies™ or antibody “knob” domains
which have the potential to target and bind more tightly to “undruggable” epitopes better than full sized antibodies. The
Company is advancing HS3215, a bispecific against both HER2 and HER3 antibody which targets a novel “bridging epitope” encompassing
multiple domains of the HER2 extracellular domain (“ECD”) as well as ligand-dependent and independent blocking of the ECD
of HER3 into IND-enabling studies. In addition, the Company anticipates that HS0059, a HER2/HER3 bispecific ADC (“bsADC”),
and HS1940, a PD-1 Picobody, will progress to enter IND-enabling studies in 2025.
F- 5
In
addition, on May 23, 2024, HB Pharma Corp. filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to which it changed its name to Hillstream Oncology, Inc. effective as of May 23,
2024.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During
the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred operating losses in the amount of approximately $ 2.5
million, expended approximately $ 2.7
million of net cash used in operating activities, and had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $ 39.4
million as of March 31, 2025. Through March 31, 2025, the Company
has primarily financed its operations through public and private offerings of its equity securities. On June 7, 2024, the Company filed
a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process pursuant to which, under an at-the-market
offering agreement (the “ATM Agreement”), the Company may sell, from time to time through the applicable sales manager, shares
of common stock in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $ 1.65
million. Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, the Company sold 200,817
shares for net proceeds of approximately $ 0.3 million, after deducting commissions of $ 15,400 and other offering fees of $ 33,600 . Further, on June 17, 2024 and December 9, 2024, the Company closed private placement
offerings (the “June 2024 PIPE Offering” and “December 2024 PIPE Offering”, respectively) with certain accredited investors
of shares of the Company’s common stock and/or pre-funded warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants
to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, with combined net proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 3.6
million. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements for details regarding the various offerings.
Based
on the Company’s limited operating history, recurring negative cash flows from operations, current plans and available resources,
the Company will need substantial additional funding to support future operating activities. The Company has concluded that the prevailing
conditions and ongoing liquidity risks faced raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
for at least one year following the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company may seek to raise additional funding through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, enter into strategic partnerships,
grants, or other arrangements or a combination of the foregoing to support its future operations; however, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company, on a timely basis or at all. The failure
to obtain sufficient additional funding could adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives and product
development timelines and may result in the Company delaying or terminating clinical trial activities which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Other
Risks and Uncertainties
There
can be no assurance that the Company’s products, if approved, will be accepted in the marketplace, nor can there be any
assurance that any future products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance
characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed, if at all. The Company is subject to risks common to
biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies including, but not limited to, the development of new technological innovations,
dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, product liability,
uncertainty of market acceptance of products and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company is dependent on third party
suppliers. The Company’s products require approval or clearance from the FDA prior to commencing commercial sales in the
United States. Approvals or clearances are also required in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company may license or sell its
products. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive all of the required approvals or
clearances.

Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
These
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated
financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments
and accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheet, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Operating results for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2025 or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the annual financial statements prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company’s
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are presented in U.S. Dollars. These condensed consolidated financial statements
and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025.
The Company operates in one segment and the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses net loss,
as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements, to monitor budget versus actual results and allocate resources. The
CODM is regularly provided with financial information, including expenses, in a format consistent with the condensed consolidated
statements of operations. The CODM does not review assets at a different level than those disclosed in the consolidated balance
sheet.
Reverse
Stock Splits
On
May 24, 2024, the Company effectuated a reverse split of shares of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15 pursuant
to an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and
approved by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders. The par value of the Company’s common stock was not
adjusted as a result of either reverse split. All issued and outstanding common stock share and per share amounts contained in the
condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect these reverse splits for all periods
presented.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tharimmune and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hillstream Oncology.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience
and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable
estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates.
Areas of the condensed consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include research and development
expense recognition, valuation of common shares and share-based compensation, allowances of deferred tax assets, valuation of debt related
instruments, and cash flow assumptions regarding going concern considerations. Although management believes the estimates that have been
used are reasonable, actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
F- 7
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company maintains cash balances with various financial institutions. Account balances at these institutions are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 per depositor. At various times during the year, bank account balances may have been in
excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. The Company believes that it is not subject
to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash
equivalents. Cash equivalents, if any, are stated at cost and consist primarily of money market accounts.
Research
and Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include personnel costs associated with research and
development activities, including third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials, and manufacture drug supplies
and materials. The Company accrues for costs incurred by external service providers, including contract research organizations and clinical
investigators, based on its estimates of service performed and costs incurred. These estimates include the level of services performed
by third parties, patient enrollment in clinical trials, administrative costs incurred by third parties, and other indicators of the
services completed.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees, and directors as
an expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value
for each stock-based award. The fair value of each option grant to employees, non-employees, and directors is estimated as of the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, net of actual forfeitures. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on
the straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
The
fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to January
12, 2022, the Company was a private company and the Company’s common stock has only been publicly traded since that date. As a
result, the Company has lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it has estimated its expected
stock volatility based on the historical data regarding the volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term
of stock options granted was between five and seven years. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the
definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received
for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent
of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances.
The
carrying value of the Company’s cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of
the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
F- 8
The
valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:
Level
1 Inputs: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date
for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level
2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These
include quoted prices for assets or liabilities recently traded in active markets, with similar underlying terms, as well as direct
or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, as well
as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level
3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists
for the assets or liabilities, that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
Deferred
Offering Costs
Deferred
offering costs consists primarily of legal, accounting, underwriters’ fees, printing, and filing fees that are incurred prior
to an offering of the Company’s common stock and are initially capitalized and then subsequently reclassified to additional
paid-in capital upon completion of the offering. If an offering is not completed, any associated offering costs will be expensed
immediately upon termination of the offering. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $ 117,000
in deferred offering costs associated with the ATM Agreement.
Insurance
Premium Financing Liability
In
January 2024, the Company entered into an insurance premium financing agreement for $ 492,450 , with a term of 10 months and an annual
interest rate of 7.5 %. The Company made a down payment of $ 98,490 and is required to make monthly principal and interest payments of
$ 40,763 over the term of the agreement, which was repaid in full in November 2024.
In
January 2025, the Company entered into an insurance premium financing agreement for $ 386,280 , with a term of 10 months and an annual
interest rate of 7.15 %. The Company made a down payment of $ 77,356 and is required to make monthly principal and interest payments of
$ 31,914 over the term of the agreement, which matures in November 2025. Related prepaid insurance at March 31, 2025 of $ 289,710 is included
in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Retirement
Plan
The
Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan which covers all employees that meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. Eligible
employees may contribute a percentage of their salary subject to certain limitations. The Company makes a discretionary match which is
currently equal to 3% of employee contributions. Total Company contributions to the plan were $ 11,740 and $ 337 for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset-and-liability method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC
740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards.
Deferred
income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and
liabilities and the amounts used for income tax purposes and for certain changes in valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce certain deferred tax assets when, in management’s estimation, it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will not
be realized. A full valuation allowance has been recognized for all periods since it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.
F- 9
The
Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The standard applies to all tax positions
and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement.
The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical
merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold
are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the
taxing authority. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position in the financial statements if it believes that
the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority. The Company will recognize interest and penalties
related to tax positions in income tax expense. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized uncertain income
tax positions, and therefore no amounts have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net
Loss per Share
The
Company reports loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share , which provides for calculation
of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss
available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect
the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per
share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Potentially
dilutive securities not included in the computation of loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included
options to purchase 242,788 and 90,758 shares
of common stock, respectively, and 35,000 restricted stock unites subject to vesting. Other potentially dilutive securities not
included in the computation of loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included warrants to purchase 500 shares
of the Company’s common stock related to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”); warrants to
purchase 424 and 20,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock issued in the Company’s May 2023 and November 2023 offerings, respectively; warrants to
purchase 480,721 and 329,771 shares
of the Company’s common stock issued in the December 2024 PIPE Offering and June 2024 PIPE Offering, respectively; and
warrants to purchase 19,786 shares
of the Company’s common stock issued to the placement agents in the June 2024 PIPE Offering. All common share amounts as of
March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and per share amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect a 1-for-25 reverse
stock split of the Company’s common stock effectuated on November 17, 2023 and a 1-for-15 reverse
stock split of the Company’s common stock effectuated on May 24, 2024.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements that were required to be adopted or are required to be adopted in the near
future and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.
Note
3 – Note Payable
The
Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $ 333,265 to satisfy an outstanding amount owed to its prior attorney. The promissory
note is payable in monthly installments of $ 24,000 through December 2025, with a final payment of $ 93,265 that will be deemed waived
upon timely payment of the previous monthly installments. No interest is due on the outstanding balance of the note payable. However,
following an event of default, the note shall accrue interest at 3.7 % on the outstanding balance and the balance shall be immediately
due in full.
As
the promissory note does not have an interest component, imputed interest at 10 %, using the prime rate plus an additional estimated factor
related to the Company’s credit rating, was calculated and the note payable is recorded at the present value of the total payments,
including the forgivable portion. The balance, at net present value, is $ 271,454 at March 31, 2025, and is considered current.

The
fair value of stock option awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair
value of each stock option is then expensed over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period (ranging between
immediate vesting and four years). The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s share
price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected price volatility, expected life,
risk-free interest rate, and forfeitures. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

Warrants
In
connection with the IPO, the Company issued warrants to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 5%
of the total shares of common stock issued in the IPO, or 500 warrants. The warrants are exercisable at $ 1,875.00 per share, were not
exercisable within the first six months after issuance, and may, under certain circumstances, be exercised on a cashless basis. The exercise
price of the warrants is subject to standard anti-dilutive provision adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, or similar events
affecting the Company’s common stock. The Company has determined that these warrants should be classified as equity instruments
since they do not require the Company to repurchase the underlying common stock and do not require the Company to issue a variable amount
of common stock. In addition, these warrants are indexed to common stock and do not have any unusual anti-dilution rights.
In
May 2023, the Company issued warrants to designees of the underwriter (the “Representative’s Warrants”) to
purchase 424
shares of the Company’s common stock (which is equal to 3% of the number of shares sold in the public offering closed in May 2023) at an initial exercise price of $ 234.375
per share, subject to adjustment. The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or
in part, during the four- and one-half year period commencing 180 days from the commencement of sales of the shares of common stock
in the public offering.
In November 2023, the Company issued
the underwriters from a private placement offering warrants to purchase 20,000 shares
of common stock with an initial exercise price of $ 18.75 ,
exercisable beginning May
27, 2024 , and expiring May
2, 2028 (the “November 2023
Underwriters Warrants”). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the
November 2023 Underwriters Warrants to purchase 20,000 shares
of common stock have not yet been exercised.
F- 13
In
connection with the June 2024 PIPE Offering as described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company issued

PIPE Warrants and June 2024 Placement Agent Warrants were immediately exercisable and are able to be exercised until five and a half
years from the effective date, or December 21, 2029. As of March 31, 2025, 368,533 of the June 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised
and none of the June 2024 PIPE Warrants or June 2024 Placement Agent Warrants have been exercised.
In
connection with the December 2024 PIPE Offering as described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company
issued the December 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 491,157 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001
and the December 2024 PIPE Warrants to purchase 480,721 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 2.031 . The
December 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and are able to be exercised at any time until exercised in full. The
December 2024 PIPE Warrants are exercisable six months from the date of issuance and are able to be exercised until five and a half years
from the effective date, or December 9, 2030. As of March 31, 2025, 100,058 of the December 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and none of the
December 2024 PIPE Warrants have been exercised.

units (“RSUs”) under the 2023 Plan to an individual representing the right to receive one share of the Company’s
common stock. The
RSUs will 100% vest on June 30, 2026, provided that the grantee remains a consultant of the Company .
The grant date fair
value of an RSU represents the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The estimated fair value
of each RSU is then expensed over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period (approximately a year and a half).
The
total stock compensation expense related to RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $ 8,274 . The total estimated fair value
of RSUs at March 31, 2025 was $ 69,125 of which $ 60,851 remains to be vested quarterly through June 30, 2026.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition
to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as may be amended, supplemented, or superseded from time to time
by other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Throughout
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or
“Tharimmune,” refer to Tharimmune, Inc. (formerly, Hillstream BioPharma, Inc.), individually, or as the context requires,
collectively with its subsidiary.
Overview
Tharimmune
is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutic candidates in immunology and inflammation with high unmet need. On
November 3, 2023, we entered into a patent license agreement (the “Avior License Agreement”) with Avior Inc. d/b/a Avior
Bio, LLC (“Avior”) pursuant to which we received an exclusive sublicensable right and license to Licensed Patent Rights
and Licensed Technology to, among other things, Develop, have Developed, make, have made, use, sell, import, export and
commercialize TH104 and TH103 and to practice the Licensed Technology in connection with the foregoing, throughout the world (each
as defined in the Avior License Agreement). In February 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved an
investigational new drug (“IND”) application for TH104. TH104 has a dual mechanism of action by affecting multiple
receptors, known to suppress chronic, debilitating pruritus or “uncontrollable itching.” With respect to TH104, we
originally intended to first seek approval for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic pruritus in patients with primary biliary
cholangitis (“PBC”), an orphan rare form of liver disease with no known cure in which more than 70% of patients suffer
from debilitating chronic pruritic. We expected to obtain topline data from a Phase 2 trial in TH104 in Q4 2025 and with respect to
TH103, we intended to develop the product candidate and potentially file an IND. In parallel to this strategy, we engaged and
received positive feedback in March 2025 from the FDA regarding the additional proposed indication of temporary prophylaxis of
respiratory and/or nervous system depression in military personnel and chemical incident responders entering an area contaminated
with high-potency opioids (“PrHPO”), for which we submitted a Pre-Investigational New Drug Application
(“PIND”). With respect to our PIND for this additional proposed indication for TH104, the Company received positive
feedback from the FDA regarding a regulatory pathway that will allow the Company to submit a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application
(“NDA”) for TH104. The FDA advised that we will need to perform additional nonclinical studies ( i.e., in vitro
toxicology studies), but the FDA confirmed that it does not believe any additional clinical trials will be required to define the
prophylactic dosing window prior to IND or NDA submission for this indication, which will be the lead program for the Company. The
Company intends to pursue the pruritus in PBC indication subsequent to the nearer term opportunity of filing an NDA for PrHPO. The
Company intends to conduct a capital efficient strategy to file an NDA for PrHPO, which involves actively progressing its Chemistry,
Manufacturing, and Controls (“CMC”) plan to meet the stringent requirements for filing an NDA with the FDA. This
comprehensive plan encompasses all aspects of the manufacturing process, quality control measures, and product stability to ensure
the consistent production of a high-quality buccal film formulation known as TH104.
On
September 11, 2024, we entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Intract Agreement”) with Intract Pharma Limited (“Intract”),
pursuant to which, we exclusively licensed INT-023/TH023, an oral anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) monoclonal antibody
infliximab. Infliximab is a purified, recombinant DNA-derived chimeric IgG monoclonal antibody protein that contains both murine and
human components that inhibit tumor TNF-α. Under the terms of the Intract Agreement, we licensed global development and commercialization
rights (outside of South Korea) to Intract’s Soteria® and Phloral® delivery platform along with an existing supply agreement
for infliximab to be used in the oral product development program.
4
We
are also developing an early-stage pipeline of novel therapeutic candidates targeting validated high value immuno-oncology (“IO”)
targets including human epidermal growth factor (“EGF”) receptor 2 (“HER2”), human EGF receptor 3 (“HER3”)
and programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1”). We are developing antibodies including bispecific antibodies, antibody drug
conjugates (“ADCs”) and small molecular weight bovine-derived “knob” domains which have the potential to target
and bind more tightly to “undruggable” epitopes better than full sized antibodies. We are advancing HS1940, a bispecific
biologic against both PD-1 and vascular endothelial growth receptor (“VEGF”) antibody which targets both receptors. In addition,
we anticipate that HS3215, a HER2/HER3 bispecific antibody will progress into preclinical studies in 2025.
The
critical components of our business strategy to achieve our goals include:
●
Develop
TH104 as a transmucosal buccal film product for temporary prophylaxis of respiratory and/or nervous system depression in military
personnel and chemical incident responders entering and area contaminated with high-potency opioids;
●
Develop
TH104 as a transmucosal buccal film product for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic pruritus in PBC and other inflammatory
diseases;
●
Develop
TH023 by obtaining regulatory authorization to initiate a first-in-human bioavailability clinical trial and pursue an IND through
the FDA post optimizing its CMC program;
●
Create
a preclinical and clinical path forward for, HS1940, a unique PD-1 knob-domain antibody fragment as a bispecific biologic against
VEGF with unique binding differentiation for IO vulnerable tumors;
●
Continue
to advance pre-clinical candidate selection activities against HER2/HER3 receptors with various antibody formats, including HS3215
designed for multiple solid tumor types;
●
Hasten
the discovery of next generation multi-specific (bi- and tri) antibodies with binding capabilities to novel epitopes of combinations
of HER2 and HER3 with and without toxin delivery capacity to multiple high unmet need rare cancers and other validated immunology
and metabolic targets; and
●
Pursue
strategic collaboration opportunities including partnering and potential merger and acquisition transactions to maximize the value of our pipeline
to bring novel therapies to patients suffering from high unmet need conditions

Phloral® delivery platform along with an existing supply agreement for infliximab to be used in the oral product development
program. Pursuant to the Intract Agreement, Intract received a mid-six digit upfront payment eligible to receive additional payments
upon an equity financing of the Company and is eligible for future development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as
mid-single digit royalties based on net product sales. Under the terms of the Intract Agreement, we retain a right of first refusal
to continue development and commercialization after a Phase 2 clinical trial and have the option to exercise the license to
Intract’s platform for up to four additional targets. The term of the Intract Agreement expires upon the final payment
obligation of the Company under the Intract Agreement. In addition, the Intract Agreement may be terminated by us at any time upon
90 days written notice to Intract. Either party may terminate the Intract Agreement if the other party materially breaches any
provision of the Intract Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after the breaching party receives written
notice thereof. In addition, either party may terminate the Intract Agreement on written notice in the event that either party
declare: (a) becomes insolvent or admits inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (b) becomes subject, voluntarily
or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law, which is not fully dismissed or
vacated within 60 days; (c) is dissolved or liquidated or takes any corporate action for such purpose; (d) makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (e) has a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar agent appointed by order of any court
of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business. On March 14, 2025 we amended
the Intract Agreement to pay the milestone due upon closing of our
December 2024 PIPE Offering in equal installments over the next 12 months, with the first payment beginning in the second quarter of
2025.
Recent
Developments
On
June 7, 2024, we entered into an at-the-market offering agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Rodman & Renshaw LLC (the
“ATM Sales Manager”) under which we may sell, from time to time through the ATM Sales Manager, shares of common stock in
one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $1.65 million.
To date, we have
sold 200,817 shares pursuant the ATM Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after deducting commissions of
$15,400 and other offering expenses of $33,600. See Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On
June 10, 2024, we reported positive results from our Phase 1 clinical trial with TH104. Results from healthy subjects demonstrated consistent
pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles across buccal and intravenous routes of administration with a comparable safety and tolerability profile
between routes of administration. This Phase 1 trial was a single-dose, single-center, open-label, randomized 2-way crossover study comparing
16 mg of TH104 with 1 mg intravenous nalmefene administered under fasting conditions, with a 7-day washout period between doses. Twenty
healthy subjects were enrolled to complete both doses of the crossover design. All 20 subjects completed TH104 buccal dosing, while 19
of 20 subjects also completed the intravenous dosing. The primary objective was to evaluate the absolute bioavailability of TH104, as
well as to assess safety and tolerability. Findings from the study indicated that the primary endpoint of the study which was absolute
bioavailability (F) of TH104, or fraction (or percentage) of the administered dose absorbed into the systemic circulation compared to
an equivalent intravenous dose of nalmefene, was 0.459 (45.9%). The median time to maximum concentration (C max ) of TH104 was
2.0 hours, and mean half-life (T 1/2 ) as measured in the blood of subjects was 14 hours after a single buccal administration
of TH104, compared to 9 hours for the 1mg intravenous dose of nalmefene. These data were consistent and within range of previous findings
of nalmefene in the literature and the Company believes PK results from this Phase 1 trial show proportional kinetics consistent with
published findings of oral and intravenous formulations, suggesting TH104 could be developed for once-daily dosing in a target population
of moderate-to-severe chronic pruritus in PBC patients. The Phase 1 trial also demonstrated that a 16mg dose of TH104 had a comparable
safety and tolerability profile to the FDA-approved 1mg dose of nalmefene intravenous formulation. Treatment emergent adverse events
(TEAEs) in this study were reported in 8 subjects (40.0%) in the TH104 group and 7 subjects (36.8%) in the intravenous group. All reported
TEAEs were considered mild in severity. The most frequently reported TEAE for both TH104 and intravenous treatments was dizziness (4
subjects in the TH104 group; 7 subjects in the intravenous group). TEAEs reported in at least 2 subjects in any treatment group were
nausea (3 subjects in each group) and somnolence (3 subjects in each group). There were no serious adverse events reported during this
study. No subjects discontinued the study due to adverse events. No subjects exhibited abnormal results for the visual examinations of
the buccal mucosa pre- or post-dosing with TH104 buccal film.
On
June 17, 2024, we reported positive Type C meeting feedback from the FDA for our Phase 2 clinical
trial with TH104, confirming our plan to pursue a 505(b)(2) approval pathway, which permits inclusion of data from external studies when
the active ingredient is already approved in the United States. The FDA also agreed that the nonclinical studies submitted to the FDA
in advance of the meeting appear sufficient to support the proposed Phase 2 clinical trial. In addition, the FDA provided feedback on
study design and certain recommendations regarding PBC patient inclusion, the primary endpoint to assess pruritus in these patients,
and considerations for monitoring for adverse events in this patient population. We engaged and received positive feedback in March 2025
from the FDA regarding the additional proposed indication of temporary prophylaxis of respiratory and/or nervous system depression in
military personnel and chemical incident responders entering an area contaminated with high-potency opioids (“PrHPO”), for
which we submitted a PIND. With respect to our PIND for this additional proposed indication for TH104, the Company received positive
feedback from the FDA regarding a regulatory pathway that will allow Tharimmune to submit a 505(b)(2) NDA for TH104. The FDA confirmed
that no additional clinical trials will be required prior to NDA submission for this indication, which will be the lead program for the
Company. Based on this interaction with FDA we plan to delay the Phase 2 trial with TH104 in moderate-to-severe chronic pruritus in PBC
patients until after planning and completing a hepatic impairment study. Due to the positive interaction with the FDA allowing for a
505(b)2 NDA application for PrHPO with no further clinical studies, we designated PrHPO as the lead program for the Company.
8
Components
of Results of Operations
Revenue
We
have not recognized revenue since inception or for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses include personnel costs associated with research and development activities, including third-party contractors
to perform research, conduct clinical trials, and manufacture drug supplies and materials as well as stock-based compensation for our
research and development personnel. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
We
accrue costs incurred by external service providers, including contract research organizations and clinical investigators, based on estimates
of service performed and costs incurred. These estimates include the level of services performed by third parties, patient enrollment
in clinical trials, administrative costs incurred by third parties, and other indicators of the services completed. Based on the timing
of amounts invoiced by service providers, we may also record payments made to those providers as prepaid expenses that will be recognized
as expense in future periods as the related services are rendered.
We
have incurred research and development expenses related to the development of HSB-1216, which has been deprioritized. We expect that
our research and development expenses will increase as we plan for and commence further studies for HS1940 and HS3215.
We
cannot determine with certainty the duration and costs of future clinical trials of our product candidates, HS1940 and HS3215, or any
other product candidates we may develop or if, when or to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of
any of our product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval. We may never succeed in obtaining marketing approval for any of
our product candidates. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of our current and future product candidates
will depend on a variety of factors, including:
●
the
scope, rate of progress, expense and results of clinical trials of our current product candidates, as well as of any future clinical
trials of our future product candidates and other research and development activities that we may conduct;
●
uncertainties
in clinical trial design and patient enrollment rates;
●
the
actual probability of success for our product candidates, including their safety and efficacy, early clinical data, competition,
manufacturing capability and commercial viability;
●
significant
and changing government regulations and regulatory guidance; and
●
the
timing and receipt of any marketing approvals.
A
change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change
in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the FDA or another regulatory authority
were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development
of a product candidate, or if we experience significant delays in our clinical trials due to slower than expected patient enrollment
or other reasons, we would be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and consulting related expenses, including stock-based compensation for
our general and administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees and other corporate expenses,
including legal fees relating to corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax, and consulting services; insurance
costs; travel expenses and other operating costs that are not specifically attributable to research activities.
9
We
expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our personnel headcount to support our
continued research activities and development of our product candidates. We also incur expenses associated with being a public company,
including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, directors and officers insurance expenses,
corporate governance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.
Interest
Income
Interest
income consists of interest income from funds held in our cash accounts.

Research
and Development Expenses
Research and development
expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 42%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in clinical trial expenses of approximately $0.1 million
due to completion of our Phase 1 clinical trial and start up costs related to our Phase 2 clinical trial in TH104 and a decrease of $0.3
million in expenses related to preclinical vendors.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative
expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 43%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $1.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2024. The change in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $0.3 million in investor
relations, an increase of $0.1 million in corporate taxes, and an increase of $0.2 intellectual property expense.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense increased by $3,771, or 80%, to $8,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $4,700 for the three months ended March
31, 2024. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to the director and officer insurance premium financing liability as well as the
note payable related to the legal fees settlement.
10
Interest
Income
Interest
income decreased by $82,458, or 86%, to $13,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $95,894 for three months ended March 31,
2024. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to the decrease in cash March 2024 to March 2025.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among
other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended
March 31, 2025, we incurred operating losses in the amount of approximately $2.5 million, expended approximately $2.7 million of net cash
used in operating activities, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $39.4 million as of March 31, 2025. Through March 31, 2025,
we have primarily financed our operations through public and private offerings of our equity securities.
In April 2025, we
raised gross proceeds of $0.26 million pursuant to the ATM Agreement from the sale of 160,817 shares of our common stock at an
average price of $1.61 per share. The net proceeds from the sales were $0.25 million, after deducting sales agent commissions of
$12,900 and other offering fees of $33,300.
Further, on June 17,
2024 and December 9, 2024, we closed private placement offerings (the “June 2024 PIPE Offering” and “December 2024 PIPE
Offering”, respectively) with certain accredited investors, consisting of offerings of shares of our common stock and/or pre-funded warrants to
acquire shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire shares of our common stock, with combined net proceeds of approximately $3.6
million.
Based
on our limited operating history, recurring negative cash flows from operations, current plans and available resources, we will need
substantial additional funding to support future operating activities. We have concluded that the prevailing conditions and ongoing liquidity
risks faced by us raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date the
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are issued. The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
We
may seek to raise additional funding through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, enter into strategic partnerships,
grants or other arrangements or a combination of the foregoing to support our future operations; however, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain additional capital on terms acceptable to us, on a timely basis, or at all. The failure to obtain
sufficient additional funding could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives and product development
timelines and may result in us delaying or terminating clinical trial activities which could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations.

Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.7 million which consisted of net loss of $2.5 million and net changes in operating assets and liabilities
of approximately $0.4 million, partially offset by non-cash stock-based compensation of approximately $0.2 million.
Cash
used in operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2024 was $2.8 million which consisted of net loss of $2.3 million, increase
in prepaid and other current assets of $0.4 million, and decrease in operating liabilities of $0.3 million, partially offset by non-cash
stock-based compensation of $0.2 million.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Cash
provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.2 million. The net increase in financing activities was due to proceeds from
the insurance premium financing liability of $0.3 million, offset by repayments of insurance premium financing liability of $0.1
million and repayments of the note payable of less than $0.1 million.
Cash
provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $0.3 million primarily attributable to proceeds from
insurance premium financing liability of $0.4 million, offset by repayments of insurance premium financing liability of $0.1
million.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
May 24, 2024, we effectuated an additional reverse split of shares of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15 pursuant to an amendment
to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and approved by the Company’s board
of directors and stockholders. The par value of our common stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse split. All issued and outstanding
common stock share and per share amounts contained in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the reverse split for all periods presented.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes,
and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Estimates are used in the following areas,
among others: research and development expense recognition, stock-based compensation, allowances of deferred tax assets, and cash flow
assumptions regarding going concern considerations. Although management believes the estimates that have been used are reasonable, actual
results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Research
and development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include personnel costs associated with research and
development activities, including third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials and manufacture drug supplies
and materials. We accrue for costs incurred by external service providers, including contract research organizations and clinical investigators,
based on our estimates of service performed and costs incurred. These estimates include the level of services performed by third parties,
patient enrollment in clinical trials, administrative costs incurred by third parties, and other indicators of the services completed.
12
Stock-based
compensation
Stock-based
compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to our employees, directors, consultants, and affiliates. We measure
stock-based compensation costs at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize the cost over the requisite
service period.
We
recognize compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors as an expense
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each
stock-based award. The fair value of each option grant to employees, non-employees and directors is estimated as of the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, net of actual forfeitures. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
The
fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to January
12, 2022, we were a private company and our common stock has only been publicly traded since that date. As a result, we lack company-specific
historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, we have estimated our expected stock price volatility based on the historical
volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of stock options granted was between five and seven years. The
risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for
time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award.
Recently
Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
See
Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
JOBS
Act
On
April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides
that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of
the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can
delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We
have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying
with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.
As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for
complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions,
including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our internal controls over financial reporting
pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and (ii) complying with the requirement adopted by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on financial statements.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total
annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of
the completion of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three
years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The
Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined
in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures”
as of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on the evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that,
as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except
as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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.
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedure, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how
well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management
is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedure relative to their costs.

PART
II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From
time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation
is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.
Risk
factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025 (“Annual Report”). There have been
no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks
described in our Annual Report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described
in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently
deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the
risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.
