INMUNE BIO INC.
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 three 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 Alzheimer’s and treatment resistant depression (“XPro”). The CORDStrom product platform is a pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem
cell product currently being developed to treat recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (“RDEB”). 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 – GOING CONCERN
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred significant losses and
negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to incur additional losses until such time that it can generate significant
revenue from the commercialization of its product candidates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net
loss of $ 9.7 million and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $ 6.8 million. Given the Company’s projected
operating requirements and its existing cash and cash equivalents, the Company is projecting insufficient liquidity to sustain its operations
through one year following the date that the financial statements are issued. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In response to these conditions, management is
currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding of future operations. Financing strategies may include, but are
not limited to, the public or private sale of equity, debt financings or funds from other capital sources, such as government funding,
collaborations, strategic alliances, divestment of non-core assets, or licensing arrangements with third parties. There can be no assurances
that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or if available, that it will be sufficient to meet its needs or on favorable
terms. Because management’s plans have not yet been finalized and are not within the Company’s control, the implementation
of such plans cannot be considered probable. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 unaudited condensed 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025.
6
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties
common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological
innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the need to
obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research
and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies, clinical trials and regulatory approval prior to commercialization.
These efforts require significant amounts of additional resources, adequate personnel, infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting.
The Company’s product candidates are still
in development and, to date, none of the Company’s product candidates have been approved for sale.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s
research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be
obtained or maintained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products
will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the
Company will generate any revenue from any of its products. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial
competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
The Company relies and expects to continue to
rely on a small number of vendors to manufacture supplies and materials for its use in the clinical trial programs. These programs could
be adversely affected by a significant interruption in these manufacturing services.
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.
Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities
in accordance with authoritative guidance which requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following
three categories:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable prices that
are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are
used when little or no market data is available.
Assets and liabilities are classified based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification
on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain assets
or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between the levels of
the fair value measurement hierarchy during the years presented.
The carrying amounts of financial instruments
such as cash and cash equivalents, research and development tax credit receivable, other tax receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
7
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.
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. When
the assets are determined to have a finite life (upon completion of the development of the in-process research and development for its
DN-TNF platform), the useful life will be determined and the in-process research and development intangible assets will be amortized.
During the fourth quarter and if business factors
indicate more frequently, the Company performs an assessment of the qualitative factors affecting the fair value of our in-process research
and development. If the qualitative assessment suggests that impairment is more likely than not, a quantitative analysis is performed.
The quantitative analysis involves a comparison of the fair value of the in-process research and development with the carrying amount.
If the carrying amount of the in-process research and development exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount
equal to that excess.
8
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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had potentially
issuable shares as follows:
March 31,
2025
2024
Stock options
7,303,307

Total

5,541,386
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.
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.
9
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).
Segment Information
We have one primary business activity and operate
in one reportable segment.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”)
is our Chief Financial Officer who evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data
presented on a consolidated basis. The measures of profitability and the significant segment expenses reviewed by the CODM are consistent
with these financial statements and footnotes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes
(Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The guidance in ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency
of income tax disclosures by greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.
The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for interim periods for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of
ASU 2023-09 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income
Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of specific types of expenses included
in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application for all prior periods presented. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or
financial statement disclosures.
Subsequent Events
The Company
evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2025, through the date which the financial statements are
issued.
NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVITY
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $ 1,283,000 and $ 1,181,000 ,
respectively, for R&D expenses incurred in Australia.

Xencor, Inc. License Agreement
On October
3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Xencor License Agreement”) with Xencor, Inc. (“Xencor”),
which discovered and developed a proprietary biological molecule that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. On June 10, 2021, the Company
and Xencor entered into a First Amendment to License Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Section 3.2 of the Xencor License
Agreement was amended to change the due diligence milestones. Pursuant to the Xencor 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 “XPro” 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.
The Company
also agreed to pay Xencor a 5 % 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.
Cordstrom License Agreement
On February 6, 2025, the Company and Great Ormond Street Hospital for
Children NHS Foundation Trust (“GOSH”) entered into a license agreement for the exclusive commercial use to clinical trial
data associated with a GOSH study investigating the potential of CORDStrom to treat RDEB in pediatric patients (the ”MissionEB study”).
The Company owns the intellectual property covering CORDStrom, the investigational medicinal product used in the Mission EB study. In
addition, the Company owns intellectual property and maintains trade secret protections covering the manufacturing of CORDStrom. With
this license to the clinical trial data, the Company intends to prepare applications seeking marketing authorization of CORDStrom for
treatment of pediatric RDEB in each of the FDA, EMA, and MHRA. Terms of the license agreement include an upfront payment of £ 250,000
(approximately $ 0.3 million at March 31, 2025) and a single milestone payment of up to £ 6,000,000 (approximately $ 7.8 million
as of March 31, 2025) due on the first to occur marketing authorization to be granted by the FDA, EMA or MHRA, which had not occurred
as of March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 0.3 million and $ 0 , respectively, payable to GOSH
within accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Pursuant to the GOSH license agreement, the Company has an obligation
to provide CORDStrom to the MissionEB study at no cost. While Part 1 of the study is completed, Part 2 of the MissionEB study is currently
uninitiated due to a lack of funding by the National Health Services England (“NHSE”). It is unknown whether funding for the
study will be allocated by NHSE or its successor agency in the United Kingdom. The Company has not recorded an estimated obligation for
the supply of the MissionEB trial with CORDStrom as it is unknown if the MissionEB trial will resume.
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”).
Pursuant to the INKmune License Agreement, the Company was granted exclusive worldwide rights to the patents, including rights to incorporate
any improvements or additions to the patents that may be developed in the future. In consideration for the patent rights, the Company
agreed to the following milestone payments:
(in thousands)
Each Phase I initiation
$ 25
Each Phase II initiation
$ 250
Each Phase III initiation
$ 350
Each NDA/EMA filing
$ 1,000
Each NDA/EMA awarded
$ 9,000
In addition, the Company agreed to pay the licensor
a royalty of 1 % of net sales during the life of each patent granted to the Company. The License is owned by Immune Ventures. RJ Tesi,
the Company’s President and a member of our Board of Directors, David Moss, its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell,
its Chief Scientific Officer, are the owners of Immune Ventures. No sales have occurred under this license. During December 2023, the
Company initiated a Phase I trial with INKmune in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. At December 31, 2024
and March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 25,000 payable to Immune Ventures within accounts payable and accrued liabilities –
related parties in the consolidated balance sheet.
The term of the agreement began on October 29,
2015 and ends on a country-by-country basis on the date of the expiration of the last to expire patent rights where patent rights exists,
unless terminated earlier in accordance with the agreement. Upon the termination of the agreement, we shall have a fully paid up, perpetual,
royalty-free license without further obligation to Immune Ventures. The agreement can be terminated by Immune Ventures if, after 60 days
from the Company’s receipt of notice that the Company has not made a payment under the agreement, and the Company still does not
make this payment. On July 20, 2018 and October 30, 2020, the parties amended the agreement under which the Company was required
achieve milestones pursuant to the agreement.
On April 17, 2023, the parties executed an additional
amendment to the agreement under which the Company removed the due diligence requirements to achieve reasonable commercial efforts to
bring INKmune to market. This removed all requirements of clinical trial timelines and the filing timelines of an NDA or equivalent. All
other provisions in the INKmune License Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
