NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 –ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS INmune Bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is a clinical stage biotechnology pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to the patient’s disease. INmune Bio has two product platforms. The DN-TNF product platform utilizes dominant-negative technology to selectively neutralize soluble TNF, a key driver of innate immune dysfunction and mechanistic target of many diseases. DN-TNF is currently being developed for COVID-19 complications (Quellor), cancer (INB03), Alzheimer’s and treatment resistant depression (XPro595), and NASH (LIVNate). The Natural Killer Cell Priming Platform includes INKmune aimed at priming the patient’s NK cells to eliminate minimal residual disease in patients with cancer. INmune Bio’s product platforms utilize a precision medicine approach for the treatment of a wide variety of hematologic malignancies, solid tumors and chronic inflammation. NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 44.6 million and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as a result of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products, which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’s products are commercialized. To meet its current and future obligations the Company has taken the following steps to capitalize the business and achieve its business plan: ● During July 2021, the Company completed a registered direct public offering in which it sold 1,818,182 shares of common stock to investors for estimated net proceeds of $ 36.9 million. ● During June 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement and drew down a $ 15.0 million term loan. ● During March 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), as sales agent, to establish an At-The-Market (“ATM”) offering program of up to $ 45 million of common stock (the “2021 ATM”), subject to certain limitations on the amount of common stock that may be offered and sold by the Company set forth in the sales agreement. The Company is required to pay BTIG a commission of 3 % of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares. During July 2021, the Company sold 713,192 shares of its common stock at an average price of $ 21.73 through the 2021 ATM for net proceeds of $ 15.0 million. ● During July 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering in which it sold 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $ 10.00 per share. Aggregate net proceeds from the underwritten public offering were approximately $ 23.1 million, net of $ 1.9 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. ● During April 2020, the Company entered into a sales agreement with BTIG, as sales agent, to establish an ATM offering program to sell up to $ 10.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2020 ATM”). In August 2020, the sales agreement was amended whereby the aggregate offering was increased from $ 10.0 million to $ 30.0 million. From April 2020 through December 2020, the Company sold 178,600 shares of common stock at an average price of $ 5.45 per share for net proceeds of approximately $ 0.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold in aggregate 1,439,480 shares on common stock at an average price of $ 20.17 per share for net proceeds of $ 28.4 million. As of June 30, 2021, sales of our common stock pursuant to the 2020 ATM have been completed. Although it is difficult to predict the Company’s liquidity requirements, as of June 30, 2021, and based upon the Company’s current operating plan, the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash to meet its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based on the balance of cash available as of June 30, 2021. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as it continues the development of its clinical drug candidates and preclinical programs and incurs additional costs associated with being a public company. 6 NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of INmune Bio, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Also, economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, however policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain. In addition, the Company’s clinical trials have been affected by and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical site initiation and patient enrollment have and may continue to be delayed due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic. Some patients have not and others may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly, the ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19, may adversely impact the Company’s clinical trial operations. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s service providers, suppliers, contract research organizations (“CROs”) and the Company’s clinical trials, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain. Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation instruments, and the net realizable value of research and development tax credit receivables. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions. 7 Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia (“AUS”), participates in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“UK”), participates in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdom tax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time. Intangible Assets The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with in-process research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and such uses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line as intangible assets. Acquired in-process research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated for acquired in-process research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired in-process research and development intangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. Basic and Diluted Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had potentially issuable shares as follows: June 30, 2021 2020 Stock options 3,892,000 3,417,000 Warrants 100,013 1,674,931 Total 3,992,013 5,091,931 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC Topic 606: (1) identify contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations. The Company records the expenses related to revenue in research and development expense, in the periods such expenses were incurred. The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. 8 Stock-Based Compensation The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur. Research and Development Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research and development costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stock-based compensation, costs of preclinical studies, clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory and compliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Foreign Currency Translation The Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S. Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdom-based operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australian-based operations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the Company´s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows. Subsequent Events The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2021, through the date which the financial statements are issued. 9 NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY According to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certain requirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable in the amount of $ 1,787,000 and $ 833,000 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $ 0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements from the UK. The Company expects to receive R&D tax credit reimbursements during the second half of 2021. According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certain requirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $ 1,281,000 and $ 853,000 , respectively, for R&D expenses incurred in Australia. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $ 0 R&D tax credit reimbursements from Australia. The Company expects to receive R&D tax credit reimbursements during the second half of 2021. Xencor, Inc. License Agreement On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Xencor License Agreement”) with Xencor, Inc. (“Xencor”), which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological molecule that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. During June 2021, the Company entered into the First Amendment to License Agreement. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license in licensed patent rights, licensed know-how and licensed materials (as defined in the license agreement) to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, or incorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of the licensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation (“Licensed Products”). The Company believes the protein has numerous medical applications. Such additional alternative applications of the technology are available under the Xencor License Agreement. In connection with the Xencor License Agreement, the Company paid Xencor a one-time non-creditable and non-refundable fee of $ 100,000 and issued Xencor 1,585,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $ 12,221,000 . In addition, the Company issued Xencor fully vested warrants with a fair value of $ 4,193,000 to purchase an additional number of shares of common stock equal to 10 % of the fully diluted company shares immediately following such purchase. The aggregate purchase price for the full exercise of the option was $ 10,000,000 . The Company recorded $ 16,514,000 for the acquisition of intangible assets for the in-process research and development as the fair value of the cash, stock and warrants on the date of the License Agreement acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 730 – Research and Development . The Company has the license rights to pursue alternative applications of the technology as part of its future development plans. The Company also agreed to pay Xencor a royalty on Net Sales of all Licensed Products in a given calendar year, which are payable on a country-by- country and licensed product by licensed product basis until the date that is the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire valid claim covering such Licensed Product in such country or (b) ten years following the first sale to a third party of the licensed product in such country. Under the Xencor License Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Xencor a percentage of any sublicensing revenue that it receives. On June 10, 2021, the Company and Xencor entered into an Option Cancellation Agreement whereby Xencor terminated its warrant to purchase 10 % of the fully diluted shares of the Company in exchange for a cash payment of $ 15,000,000 and 192,533 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $ 3,300,000 based on the market price of the common stock as of June 10, 2021, which the Company issued in June 2021. The Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of these shares on or before the earlier to occur of September 8, 2021, or the date on which the Company next files a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or any statement on Form S-3 previously filed) and to keep the registration statement continuously effective until all such shares cease to be outstanding or otherwise cease to be registrable securities as defined in the Option Cancellation Agreement. The Company charged the cash consideration paid to Xencor to enter into the Option Cancellation Agreement to equity as the fair value of the warrant immediately prior to the Option Cancellation Agreement was greater than the consideration paid to Xencor. INKmune License Agreement On October 29, 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “INKmune License Agreement”) with Immune Ventures, LLC (“Immune Ventures”).

Description of Business Overview We are a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on developing drugs that may reprogram the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We believe this may be done by targeting cells of the innate immune system that cause acute and chronic inflammation and are involved in the immune dysfunction associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative, metabolic and infectious diseases. The Company has two therapeutic platforms – dominant-negative TNF platform (“DN-TNF”) and the Natural Killer (“NK”) platform. The DN-TNF platform neutralizes soluble TNF (“sTNF”) without affecting trans-membrane TNF (“tmTNF”) or the receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2. This unique biologic mechanism differentiates the DN-TNF drugs from currently approved non-selective TNF inhibitors that inhibit the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Protecting the function of tmTNF while neutralizing the function of sTNF is a potent anti-inflammatory drug that does not cause immunosuppression or demyelination. Currently approved non-selective TNF inhibitors are approved to treat autoimmune disease, however they are contraindicated in patients with infection, cancer and neurologic diseases because they increase the risk of infection, cancer and demyelinating neurologic diseases, respectively, because of off-target effects on inhibiting tmTNF. The NK platform targets the dysfunctional natural killer cells (“NK cells”) in patients with cancer. NK cells are part of the normal immunologic response to cancer with important roles in immunosurveillance to prevent cancer and in preventing relapse by clearing residual disease. Residual disease is the cancer left behind, often undetected, that can grow and cause relapse. The NK cells of cancer patients have the ability to kill cancer cells but are not effective because cancer cells mutate to evade NK cell immune surveillance. INKmune provides the missing signals needed to prime NK cells to overcome the immune evasion mutation to allow NK cells to kill the cancer cell. We believe INKmune is best used to eliminate residual disease after the patient has completed other cancer therapies. Both the DN-TNF platform and the INKmune platform can be used to treat multiple diseases. The DN-TNF platform will be used as an immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative, metabolic and infectious diseases. INKmune is being developed to treat NK sensitive hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. We believe our DN-TNF platform can be used to reverse resistance in immunotherapy, to target glial activation to prevent progression of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”), to target neuroinflammation in treatment resistant depression (“TRD”), to target intestinal leak and inflammation to treat non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”) and to treat complications of the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 infection. The drug is named differently for each indication; INB03, XPro1595, LIVNate and Quellor, respectively, but it is the same drug product. In each case, we believe neutralizing sTNF is a cornerstone to the treatment of each of these diseases. As an immunotherapy for cancer, we are using INB03 to neutralize sTNF produced by HER2+ trastuzumab resistant breast cancers to reverse resistance to therapy. sTNF causes an up-regulation of MUC4 expression that causes steric hindrance of trastuzumab binding to the HER2/Neu receptor on HER2+ breast cancer cells. Without binding, trastuzumab is not effective. In addition, INB03 changes the immunobiology of the tumor microenvironment by decreasing the number of immunosuppressive myeloid cells, both myeloid derived suppressor cells and tumor active macrophages, and increasing the number of cytotoxic lymphocytes in the TME. The Company has completed an open label dose escalation trial in cancer patients with metastatic solid tumors that have failed multiple lines of therapy. The trial informs the design of the Phase II trial by demonstrating that INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined the dose of INB03 to carry into Phase II trials, and demonstrated a pharmacodynamic end-point. A Phase II trial is planned in women with advanced HER2+ breast cancer with metastasis. 17 Likewise, we believe the DN-TNF platform can be used to treat selected neurodegenerative diseases. XPro1595 is being used to treat patients with Alzheimer’s disease in a Phase I trial partially funded by a Part-the-Clouds Award from the Alzheimer’s Association. XPro1595 targets activated microglia and astrocytes of the brain that produce sTNF that promotes nerve cell loss and synaptic dysfunction, key elements in the development of dementia. In animal models, elimination of sTNF prevents nerve cell dysfunction and reverses synaptic pruning. The Phase I trial in patients with biomarkers of inflammation with AD is enrolling patients. The open label, dose escalation trial is designed to demonstrate that XPro1595 decreases neuroinflammation in patients with AD. This end-points of the trial are measures of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, measures of neuroinflammation by MRI by measuring white matter free water and breath by measuring volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath and by monitoring neuropsychiatric symptoms known to be associated with neuroinflammation including depression, apathy, aggression, hallucinations and sleep disorders. In addition, we believe the DN-TNF platform can be used to treat selected metabolic diseases. LIVNate is being developed to treat NASH. NASH is a pleiotropic disease caused by a complex mix of metabolic, inflammatory and fibrotic pathophysiology. We believe targeting inflammation caused by intestinal leak, mesenteric and peripheral fat will prevent lipotoxicity, hepatic stellate cell activation and hepatocyte death that causes fibrosis and liver dysfunction associated with advanced disease. sTNF is elevated in obesity and is believed to cause intestinal leak. Intestinal leak combined with cytokines coming from mesenteric fat may dramatically increase the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in portal blood destined for the liver. The cytokine load contributes to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and progression to NASH. LIVNate, by neutralizing sTNF improves insulin sensitivity, decreases the inflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat and may also seal the intestinal leak. This combination prevents development of NAFLD or NASH in animal models. The Company is planning a Phase II open label randomized study using non-invasive measures to enroll patients with NASH in a study using a fixed dose of LIVNate delivered as a once a week sub-cutaneous injection. We also believe the DN-TNF platform may be used to treat the complications associated with the cytokine storm caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). Three inflammatory cytokines make up the cytokine storm associated with COVID19 infection – sTNF, IL-6 and IL-1β. Targeting sTNF with Quellor may have advantages because IL-6 and IL-1 expression occur after sTNF expression; sTNF promotes endothelial activation causing expression of proteins that promote trafficking of immune cells from the blood vessel to the tissue and expression of Tissue Factor that stimulates the coagulopathy that is a prominent pathology of COVID-19 infection. The Company plans a Phase II trial in patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection and hypoxia. The goal of the study is to prevent the catastrophic complications of advanced COVID-19 infection including one or more of the need for mechanical ventilation, new onset of cardiovascular, neurologic or thromboembolic disease, admission to an intensive care unit or death. The randomized trial will treat patients requiring hospitalization because of their disease. Effective therapy for treatment resistant depression (TRD) is a large unmet need. Twenty percent of patients with a Major Depressive Disorder have TRD. Once third of TRD patients have peripheral biomarkers to inflammation (elevated CRP). This is a large patient population. The role of TNF and anti-TNF therapeutics was explored in a small open label clinical trial by Prof. Andrew Miller, MD of Emory University demonstrated the patients have elevated TNF levels and treatment with infliximab treated their depression (Miller, 2011). The Company received a $2.9M USD award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to treat TRD with XPro1595. The blinded, randomized Phase II trial will use a biomarkers of peripheral inflammation to select patients with TRD for enrollment. Patients will be treated for 6 weeks. Primary end-points include both clinical and neuroimaging measures. The final trial design has is ongoing and discussions with the FDA are not complete. The Company anticipates receiving authorization to initiate the clinical trial in the second half of 2021. 18 We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune interacts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is a replication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in their circulation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system has recovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy. INKmune can be used to treat numerous hematologic malignancies and solid tumors including leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, lung, ovary, breast, renal and prostate cancer. The Company plans Phase I trials using INKmune to treat patients with high risk MDS, a form of leukemia and women with relapsed refractory ovarian. During July 2021, the Company’s Phase I trial using INKmune was initiated and its first patient was dosed. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, including clinical trials and preclinical studies as well as general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no significant revenue. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.6 million. Our net losses were $11,211,000 and $4,178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stock-based compensation. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Also, economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, however policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain. In addition, the Company’s clinical trials have been affected by and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical site initiation and patient enrollment have and may continue to be delayed due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic. Some patients have not and others may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly, the ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19, may adversely impact the Company’s clinical trial operations. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s service providers, suppliers, contract research organizations (“CROs”) and the Company’s clinical trials, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain. We classify our operating expenses into two categories: research and development; and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense comprise a significant component of our research and development and general and administrative expense categories. 19 We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include: ● only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure; ● reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; ● no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; ● exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and ● delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. Research and Development Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop our product candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of: ● clinical trial and regulatory-related costs; ● expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials; ● manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and ● employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation. We typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs by product candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidates or development programs. We participate, through our wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. In the future, the Company may elect to cease to perform research and development in Australia at which point the Company may not participate the Australian research and development tax incentive program. We participate, through our wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdom tax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. In the future, the Company may elect to cease to perform research and development in the United Kingdom at which point the Company may not participate in the United Kingdom tax relief program. 20 Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidates through clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates. The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following: ● per patient trial costs; ● the number of sites included in the clinical trials; ● the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted; ● the length of time required to enroll eligible patients; ● the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials; ● the number of doses that patients receive; ● the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials; ● the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients; ● potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies; ● the duration of patient follow-up; ● the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and ● the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labelling and storage drug used in the clinical trial. We do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we: ● continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates; ● potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates; ● seek to discover and develop additional product candidates; ● establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval; 21 ● seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws; ● maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio; ● hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts; ● add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and ● incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation; professional fees for legal, consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research and development expenses. Other income (expense) Other income (expense) primarily consists of interest expense on debt, interest income on money market accounts and foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Results of Operations Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 The following table summarizes our results of operations for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Change Revenues $ - $ - $ - Operating expenses: Research and development 4,464 903 3,561 General and administrative 2,090 1,204 886 Total operating expenses 6,554 2,107 4,447 Loss from operations (6,554 ) (2,107 ) (4,447 ) Other expense (101 ) (1 ) (100 ) Net loss $ (6,655 ) $ (2,108 ) $ (4,547 ) 22 General and Administrative General and administrative expenses were approximately $2.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses is largely due to higher professional fees ($0.6 million higher during the three months ended June 30, 2021) and higher payroll expense ($0.2 million higher during the three months ended June 30, 2021). Research and Development Research and development expenses were approximately $4.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in research and development expenses during the three months ending June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ending June 30, 2020 is largely due to higher costs associated with manufacturing additional drugs ($0.9 million increase), incurring additional costs in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 clinical trial ($1.2 million increase), and incurring higher compensation expense, including stock-based compensation ($0.2 million increase). Other Expense The Company’s other expense is higher in 2021 due to the Company incurring interest expense from a loan the Company obtained in June 2021. Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 The following table summarizes our results of operations for the periods indicated: Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Change Revenues $ 4 $ - $ 4 Operating expenses: Research and development 6,955 1,696 5,259 General and administrative 4,151 2,504 1,647 Total operating expenses 11,106 4,200 6,906 Loss from operations (11,102 ) (4,200 ) (6,902 ) Other (expense) income (109 ) 22 (131 ) Net loss $ (11,211 ) $ (4,178 ) $ (7,033 ) Revenues During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold MSC’s to one third-party and recognized $4,000 of revenues. There were no revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2020. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses were approximately $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses is largely due to higher professional fees ($1.2 million higher during the six months ended June 30, 2021), higher stock-based compensation ($0.2 million higher during the six months ended June 30, 2021) and higher payroll expense ($0.2 million higher during the six months ended June 30, 2021). Research and Development Research and development expenses were approximately $7.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in research and development expenses during the six months ending June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ending June 30, 2020 is largely due to additional amounts incurred related to manufacturing additional drugs ($1.2 million increase), incurring additional costs in connection with the Company’s COVID-19 clinical trial ($1.9 million increase), and incurring higher compensation expense, including stock-based compensation ($0.4 million increase). 23 Other Income (Expense) The Company’s other expense is higher in 2021 due to the Company incurring interest expense from a loan the Company obtained in June 2021. Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We incurred a net loss of $11,211,000 and $4,178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $10,801,000 and $2,853,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sales of our common stock. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $39.5 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cash used in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development. Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, third-party clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation and related expenses, professional fees, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing our spending. The Company incurs the majority of its research and development expenses in Australia and the United Kingdom. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the pound sterling as well as the Australian dollar could adversely affect our financial results, including our expenses as well as assets and liabilities. We currently do not hedge foreign currencies but will continue to assess whether that strategy is appropriate. As of June 30, 2021, the cash balance held by our foreign subsidiaries with currencies other than the United States dollar was approximately $0.2 million. We do not have any material financial exposure to one customer or one country that would significantly hinder our liquidity. As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable to us as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $44,586,000 and working capital of $41,060,000. Losses have principally occurred as a result of stock-based compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’s products are commercialized. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $39.5 million. We believe our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based on the balance of cash available as of June 30, 2021. Registered Direct Offering During July 2021, the Company completed a registered direct offering whereby the Company sold 1,818,182 shares of its common stock to investors for net proceeds of $36.9 million. 24 ATM Sales Agreements During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued and sold 150,682 shares of common stock at an average price of $5.44 per share under the 2020 ATM program. The aggregate net proceeds were approximately $0.7 million after BTIG’s commission and other offering expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued and sold 1,439,480 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.17 per share under the 2020 ATM program. The aggregate net proceeds were approximately $28.4 million after BTIG’s commission and other offering expenses. As of June 30, 2021, sales of our common stock pursuant to the 2020 ATM have been completed. During March 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 ATM program with BTIG, as sales agent, to establish an ATM offering program of up to $45 million of common stock. The Company had no sales of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2021 under the 2021 ATM program. During July 2021, the Company sold 713,192 shares at an average price per share of $21.73 for net proceeds of approximately $15.0 million under the 2021 ATM program. Term Loan On June 10, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with SVB and an affiliate of SVB, providing for a $15.0 million term loan. The Term Loan also provides for us to request an additional $5.0 million term loan from the Lenders, which may be granted or denied at the sole discretion of the Lenders. The Term Loan provides for an annual interest rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate then in effect as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 4.50% and (ii) 7.75% and also includes a final payment fee equal to 6.5% of the original principal amount borrowed payable on the earlier of the repayment of the loan in full and the maturity date. The Company used the proceeds of the term loan to fund the cash consideration for the Option Cancellation Agreement with Xencor. The Lincoln Park Transaction On May 15, 2019, the Company and Lincoln Park entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company had the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $20.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 196,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Lincoln Park for gross proceeds of $1,003,000. During April 2021, the Company terminated the Purchase Agreement. Grants During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company was awarded a $500,000 grant from the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association (“ALS”) to fund a study of the efficacy of XPro1595 to reverse ALS in vitro and to fund a study of the efficacy of XPro1595 to protect against ALS model phenotypes in vivo. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of cash proceeds pursuant to this grant which the Company recorded within deferred liabilities. The Company records costs incurred related to the ALS study as a reduction of deferred liabilities. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as deferred liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets related to the ALS grant. 25 Cash Flows The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated: Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Net cash and cash equivalents (used in) provided by: Operating activities $ (10,801 ) $ (2,853 ) Investing activities (15,000 ) - Financing activities 43,415 655 Change in cash and cash equivalents 17,614 (2,198 ) Impact on cash from foreign currency translation (61 ) 18 Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period 21,967 6,996 Cash and cash equivalents, end of period $ 39,520 $ 4,816 Operating Activities Our cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss. Operating activities used approximately $10.8 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulting from our loss of $11.2 million and changes in our net operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 million, partially offset by non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.7 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was mainly due to an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $1.2 million, and an increase in research and development tax credit receivable of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred liabilities of approximately $0.4 million. Operating activities used approximately $2.9 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $4.2 million, a net cash outflow of approximately $0.1 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, and non-cash stock-based compensation charges of approximately $1.4 million. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in research and development tax credit receivable of approximately $0.5 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred liabilities of approximately $0.4 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.2 million. Investing Activities Investing activities used $15.0 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid Xencor $15.0 million to settle an option to acquire 10% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis which was issued to acquire the Company’s acquired in-process research and development intangible asset. Financing Activities During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold 1,439,480 shares of its common stock under its 2020 ATM program for net proceeds of approximately $28.4 million. The Company also obtained $15.0 million in cash proceeds from the issuance of debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company purchased 220,000 shares from an investor for approximately $1.0 million. In addition, the Company sold 196,000 shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park for cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued and sold 150,682 shares of common stock at an average price of $5.44 per share under the ATM program for net cash proceeds of approximately $0.7 million. 26 Critical Accounting Policies Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and there have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
