PASITHEA THERAPEUTICS CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2025 AND 2024
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND
BUSINESS
Pasithea Therapeutics Corp.
(“Pasithea” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 12, 2020 and completed an
initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) on September 17, 2021. The Company is a clinical-stage
biotechnology company primarily focused on the discovery, research and development of innovative treatments for central nervous
system (CNS) disorders, RASopathies, MAPK pathway-driven tumors and other diseases.
The Company’s primary operations (the “Therapeutics”
segment) are focused on developing the Company’s lead product candidate, PAS-004, a next-generation macrocyclic mitogen-activated
protein kinase, or MEK inhibitor that the Company believes may address the limitations and liabilities associated with existing drugs
targeting a similar mechanism of action. In December 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) cleared the Company’s Investigational
New Drug application (the “IND”) for PAS-004 and the Company received a study may proceed letter from the FDA for its Phase
1 multicenter, open-label, dose escalation trial of PAS-004 in patients with MAPK pathway-driven advanced tumors with a documented RAS,
NF1 or RAF mutation or patients who have failed BRAF/MEK inhibition (the “FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study”). The Company
is currently conducting the FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study at four clinical sites in the United States and three additional sites in
Eastern Europe and expects to complete the FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study in 2026.
In May 2025, the Company initiated a Phase 1/1b
multicenter, open-label, dose escalation trial of PAS-004 in adult patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (“NF1”) with symptomatic
and inoperable, incompletely resected, or recurrent plexiform neurofibromas (“PN”) with the activation of the first clinical
trial site in Australia. The Company expects to conduct the trial at a total of five sites in Australia, South Korea and the United States
in up to 24 patients in a dose escalation phase followed by 24 patients in an expansion phase.
The initial indication the Company plans to seek
FDA marketing approval for PAS-004 is the treatment of symptomatic PNs in both adult and pediatric patients with NF1. As such, the Company
aims to conduct a Phase 1 trial for pediatric NF1-PN patients and ultimately complete registrational clinical trials in both adult and
pediatric NF1-PN populations.
Additionally, the Company has two programs
that are in the discovery stage, which the Company believes address limitations in the treatment paradigm of the indications the
Company plans to address with these programs, which are currently amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) for PAS-003 and
schizophrenia for PAS-001.
Throughout this report, the terms “our,”
“we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. and its subsidiaries, Pasithea
Therapeutics Limited (U.K.), Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda, Pasithea Clinics Inc., Alpha-5 Integrin, LLC (“Alpha-5”),
AlloMek Therapeutics, LLC (“AlloMek”) and Pasithea MacroMEK Pty Ltd. Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (U.K.), legally dissolved
as of January 2, 2024, was a private limited company, registered in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade
Unipessoal Lda is a private limited company registered in Portugal. Pasithea Clinics Inc. is incorporated in Delaware. Alpha-5 and AlloMek
are both Delaware limited liability companies. Pasithea MacroMEK Pty Ltd is registered in Australia. The operations of Pasithea Therapeutics
Limited (U.K.), Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda, and Pasithea Clinics Inc. have been discontinued.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
5
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth
company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
(the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are
applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to
comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a
nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS
Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such
extended transition period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately
$ 7.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $ 6.9 million. The Company’s major sources
of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various private and public offerings, the Initial Public Offering and the exercise of warrants. The
Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue
to execute its development plans and continue operations. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will not have
sufficient working capital to meet its needs through twelve months from the date of these financial statements if additional funding cannot
be obtained.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows
from operations since inception. On June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 7.2 million and an accumulated
deficit of approximately $ 56.9 million. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating
cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. Historically, the Company’s major sources of
cash have been comprised of proceeds from various public and private offerings of its capital stock. The Company is dependent on obtaining
additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans
and continue operations. Without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern through twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate
affiliates based on standards set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation,” (“ASC
810”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alpha-5
Integrin, LLC, AlloMek Therapeutics, LLC, Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (U.K.), Pasithea Clinics Inc. and Pasithea MarcoMEK Pty Ltd. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements
are presented in U.S. Dollars.
6
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. Management regularly makes estimates related to the fair value of warrant liabilities;
the recoverability of long-lived assets; the fair values and useful lives of intangible assets acquired in business combinations; the
potential impairment of goodwill; and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial
statements. As appropriate, the Company obtains reports from third-party valuation experts to inform and support estimates related to
fair value measurements.
Research and Development
Research and development
costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expense, except for goodwill related to intellectual
property and patents. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the
Company’s research activities, payments to third parties for preclinical and clinical activities, costs to acquire drug products
from contract development and manufacturing organizations and third-party contractors relating to chemistry, manufacturing and controls
(“CMC”) efforts and research and development costs related to our discovery programs. Depending upon the timing of payments
to the service providers, the Company recognizes prepaid expenses or accrued expenses related to these costs. These accrued or prepaid
expenses are based on management’s estimates of the work performed under service agreements, milestones achieved and experience
with similar contracts. The Company monitors each of these factors and adjusts estimates accordingly.
Research and development also includes contra expense related to costs
reimbursed under the Company’s grant agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded no grant
income as a contra expense within research and development. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded grant
income of approximately $ 43,000 and zero as a contra expense within research and development, respectively.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses primarily
consist of personnel and related costs, including stock-based compensation, legal fees relating to both intellectual property and corporate
matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications and public company expenses, information technology,
office and facility rents and related expenses, including depreciation, amortization and maintenance, and fees for consulting, business
development and other professional services.
Defined-Contribution Savings Plan
In the United States, the Company maintains
a defined-contribution savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The plan is
available to employees who meet the minimum age and length of service requirements. The contributions made during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were immaterial.
Grants
In
connection with the acquisition of Alpha-5, the Company legally assumed rights under a grant agreement with FightMND, which was entered
into by Alpha-5 on September 23, 2021. FightMND supports pre-clinical research, development and assessment of therapeutics for motor neuron
disease, including ALS. Under the grant agreement, the Company is entitled to reimbursements for costs incurred for research related to
its monoclonal antibody targeting a5 b 1
integrin as a potential treatment for ALS.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments
with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, classified as trading securities. The Company
had cash equivalents of $ 6.2 million and $ 6.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from three to
ten years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are expensed
as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of those leasehold improvements and the
remaining lease term.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for the publicly traded warrants
issued in its Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the warrants issued as compensation to the underwriters
in its Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “IPO Warrants”)
in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” under which the IPO Warrants do not meet
the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the IPO Warrants
as liabilities at their fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the IPO Warrants are
exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the IPO Warrants was initially measured using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Currently, the
fair value of the Public Warrants is measured using quoted market prices, and the fair value of the Representative Warrants is based on
an estimate of the relative fair value to the Public Warrants, accounting for a small difference in the exercise price.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024, respectively, the Company had deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses. A valuation allowance was established
against these deferred tax assets at their full amount, resulting in a zero balance of deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and
a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not
aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company
is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management
believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
With the exception of liabilities related to the
IPO Warrants, described in the table below, the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments
under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying
balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
8
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that
would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
●
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
●
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
●
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following table presents information about
the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy
of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The fair value of the cash equivalents is based
on the fair value of marketable securities invested in U.S. government money market funds.
The fair value of the liability associated with
the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was based on the quoted closing price on The Nasdaq Capital Market and
is classified as Level 1. The fair value of the liability associated with the Representative Warrants as of June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, was based on an estimate of the relative fair value to the Public Warrants, accounting for a small difference in the exercise
price, and is classified as Level 3.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure
fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is
categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed similarly to the basic earnings per share, except the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding is increased to include additional shares of Common Stock from the assumed exercise of share options, if dilutive. The
following outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock
units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have
had an anti-dilutive effect:

Foreign Currency Translations
The Company’s functional and reporting currency
is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate prevailing
on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the U.S. dollar at the
rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred
until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income
or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.
Translation of Foreign Operations
The financial results and position of foreign
operations whose functional currency is different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
●
assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
●
equity is translated at historical exchange rates; and
●
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
Exchange differences arising on translation of
foreign operations are transferred directly to the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated
financial statements. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three
and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had one operating subsidiary with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, which
resulted in a foreign currency translation gain of approximately $ 6,000 . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company
had one operating subsidiary with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, which resulted in foreign currency translation losses
of approximately $ 4,000 and approximately $ 3,000 , respectively. Additionally, losses related to the now dissolved subsidiaries which were
previously operating in functional currencies not that of the U.S. dollar as the parent were realized in the consolidated statements of
operations within other income (expense) in the amount of approximately $ 7,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no material items of other comprehensive income (loss) except
for the unrealized foreign currency translation adjustment.
Acquisitions, Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect the operations of an acquired business beginning as of the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded
at their fair values at the date of acquisition; goodwill is recorded for any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired. Significant judgment is required to determine the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets and in assigning
their respective useful lives. Accordingly, we typically obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for significant tangible
and intangible assets. The fair values are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed
reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain and could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Determining
the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives. Any intangible
assets associated with acquired in-process research and development activities (“IPR&D”) are not amortized until a product
is available for sale.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
Long-lived and amortizable intangible assets are
assessed annually for impairment or sooner should impairment indicators exist. Significant events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances may include a significant decrease in the market
price of an asset, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition or a history
of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of an asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
The amount of the impairment loss is the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. There were no charges related
to impairments of long-lived assets for all periods presented.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually during
the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds
its implied fair value. The Company may elect to assess goodwill for impairment using a qualitative or a quantitative approach, to determine
whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is greater than its carrying value. There were no charges related to
goodwill impairment for all periods presented.
Leases
The Company’s has leases related to office
space. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the time of the contract’s inception based on the presence
of identified assets and the Company’s right to obtain substantially all the economic benefit from or to direct the use of such
assets. When the Company determines a lease exists, it records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability
on its balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities
represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at the lease commencement
date at the present value of the remaining future lease payments the Company is obligated for under the terms of the lease. Lease liabilities
are recognized concurrently with the recognition of the ROU asset and represent the present value of lease payments to be made under the
lease. These ROU assets and liabilities are adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred.
As the discount rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of the Company’s leases, the Company uses its incremental
borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. If
the Company’s lease terms include an option to extend the lease for a set period, the Company evaluates the renewal option and should
it be reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option, adjusts the ROU asset and liability accordingly.
11
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation
awards to employees and members of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock
Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees and Board members, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing
this fair value as stock-based compensation using a straight-line method over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period.
Financed Director and Officer Insurance Premiums
In January 2025, the Company finalized a financing
arrangement for its Director and Officer Insurance policy. The total amount financed was approximately $ 379,000 after a down payment of
approximately $ 68,000 , or a total amount of $ 447,000 . The note bears an annual interest rate of 9.2 %, to be paid over a period of twelve
months. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining payable balance on the note was approximately $ 155,000 .
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise for which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)
or decision-making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages
its business as one operating and reporting segment, which is the business of research and development of innovative treatments for central
nervous system (CNS) disorders, RASopathies, MAPK pathway-driven tumors and other diseases. See Note 12 Segment Information for further
information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment
Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires incremental disclosure of segment information
on an interim and annual basis. This ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial
statements is required for public entities. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 1, 2024, which resulted in additional disclosures
of significant segment expenses and other segment items as well as incremental qualitative disclosures.

NOTE 4 – LEASES
Laboratory Lease – South San Francisco,
California
In August 2022, the Company, as a lessee, entered
into an amended sublease agreement to sublease laboratory and office space in South San Francisco, California. The lease term was from
August 15, 2022 through May 15, 2024, and month-to-month through June 2024. Monthly rent was $ 16,656 during 2024.
This lease was accounted for as an operating lease
under ASC 842, Leases, which resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset (“ROU asset”) and liability of approximately
$ 332,000 at inception. The ROU asset was separately presented as a non-current asset, and the liability is recorded as a component of
current and non-current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company discounted the future lease payments
of this lease using the prevailing collateralized lending rate which would be extended to the Company based on its credit profile relative
to the period of inception, and the duration of the lease from inception. The interest rate used in calculating the fair value listed
above was 7.8 %.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the
Company had no recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company has an aggregate of 105,000,000 authorized
shares. The authorized shares are divided into: (i) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $ 0.0001 per share and (ii)
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $ 0.0001 per share.
Common Stock
The Company had 7,443,577 and 1,394,263 shares
of its Common Stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote
for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), and Amended and Restated Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights.
In addition, the holders of our Common Stock will
be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board out of legally available funds; however, the current
policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders
of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution.
Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive,
conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights,
preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders
of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Effective January 2, 2024, the Company amended
its Charter to effect a one-for-twenty ( 1 : 20 ) reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares were
issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were paid in cash. The reverse
stock split did not otherwise affect any of the rights currently accruing to holders of our Common Stock.
2023 Stock Incentive Plan
The Board and stockholders have adopted and approved
the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) which took effect on December 19, 2023. The 2023 Plan allows
for the issuance of securities, including stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees,
Board members and consultants. The initial number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2023 Plan was 125,000 shares
plus 28,389 unused shares reserved under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, which will, on January 1 of each calendar year,
beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on and including January 1, 2033, unless the Board decides otherwise, automatically increase
by an amount equal to the lessor of (A) three percent ( 3 %) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the final day of the
immediately preceding calendar year or (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by the Board.
On January 1, 2025, the number of shares of Common Stock available
for issuance under the 2023 Plan automatically increased by 41,828 shares. As of June 30, 2025, 264,221 total shares were available
under the 2023 Plan, of which 90,068 shares were issued and outstanding and 174,153 shares were available for potential issuances.
September
2024 Private Placement
On September 26, 2024, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the “September 2024 Private Placement”) with an institutional investor, pursuant to which
the Company agreed to sell pre-funded warrants (the “September 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate
of 1,219,513 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, Series A warrants (the “Series A Warrants”)
to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,219,513 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 3.85 per share, and Series B warrants (the
“Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “September 2024 PIPE Warrants”) to purchase
up to an aggregate of 1,219,513 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $ 3.85 per share. The combined purchase price per September
2024 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying September 2024 PIPE Warrants was $ 4.099 . Aggregate gross proceeds from the September 2024 Private
Placement were approximately $ 4.5 million and the September 2024 Private Placement closed on September 30, 2024.
The
September 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire when exercised in full. The Series A Warrants
are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five ( 5 ) years from the date of issuance. The Series B
Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to eighteen ( 18 ) months from the date of issuance.
14
A holder of the September 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants
and the September 2024 PIPE Warrants may not exercise any portion of such holder’s September 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants or September
2024 PIPE Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99 % (or, at the election
of the holder, 9.99 %) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least
61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99 %
of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. In the event of certain fundamental
transactions, holders of the September 2024 PIPE Warrants will have the right to receive the Black Scholes Value of their warrant calculated
pursuant to a formula set forth in the warrant, payable either in cash or in the same type or form of consideration that is being offered
and being paid to the holders of Common Stock.
In connection with the September
2024 Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
dated as of September 26, 2024, with the investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the September
2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and the September 2024 PIPE Warrants no later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the Registration Rights
Agreement (the “Registration Statement”), and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective
as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than forty-five (45) days following the date of the Registration Rights
Agreement (or ninety (90) days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of a “full review” by
the SEC). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 11, 2024.
The net proceeds to the Company from the September
2024 Private Placement were approximately $ 4.5 million, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the
Company. In addition, the Company issued to the placement agent or its designees warrants (the “September 2024 Placement Agent Warrants”)
to purchase up to an aggregate of 85,366 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $ 5.125 per share. The September 2024 Placement
Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the September 2024 PIPE Warrants, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have
a term of five ( 5 ) years from the date of issuance. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the September
2024 Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The September
2024 PIPE Warrants met the requirement for equity classification. The Company computes the fair value of warrants and options using a Black-Scholes model.
The expected term used for warrants is the contractual life. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review
of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned
public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon
bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

May 2025 Public Offering
On May 6, 2025, the Company entered into securities
purchase agreements with investors (the “May 2025 Purchase Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate
of (i) 3,094,284 shares (the “May 2025 Shares”) of Common Stock, (ii) 477,144 pre-funded warrants (the “May 2025 Pre-Funded
Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 477,144 shares of Common Stock (the “May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”),
(iii) 3,571,428 Series C Common Warrants (the “Series C Common Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,571,428 shares
of Common Stock, and (iv) 3,571,428 Series D Common Warrants (the “Series D Common Warrants” and, together with the Series
C Common Warrants, the “May 2025 Common Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,571,428 shares of Common Stock. Each
May 2025 Share, or May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof, was sold together with a Series C Common Warrant to purchase one share
of Common Stock and a Series D Common Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock in a best efforts public offering (the “May
2025 Public Offering”).
The public offering price for each May 2025 Share
and accompanying May 2025 Common Warrants was $ 1.40 , and the public offering price for each May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying
May 2025 Common Warrants was $ 1.399 . The May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, are exercisable immediately
and will expire when exercised in full. The Series C Common Warrants have an exercise price of $ 1.40 per share, are exercisable upon issuance
and will expire five years thereafter. The Series D Common Warrants have an exercise price of $ 1.40 per share, are exercisable upon issuance
and will expire 18 months thereafter. Simultaneously with the closing of the May 2025 Public Offering, certain investors exercised Series
D Common Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 914,286 shares of Common Stock, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately
$ 1.3 million. In addition, all May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised simultaneously with the closing of the May 2025 Public Offering,
resulting in the issuance of 477,144 May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares.
A holder will not have the right to exercise any
portion of the May 2025 Common Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99 % (or, at
the election of the holder, 9.99 %) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise,
as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the May 2025 Common Warrants. However, upon notice from the
holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation, which may not exceed 9.99 % of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance
with the terms of the May 2025 Common Warrants, provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect
until 61 days following notice to the Company.
The net proceeds of the May 2025 Public Offering, after deducting the placement
agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding the net proceeds from the exercise of the May 2025 Common
Warrants, were approximately $ 4.2 million. The aggregate gross proceeds from the May 2025 Public Offering and the exercise of the Series
D Common Warrants were approximately $ 6.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the May 2025 Public Offering for general
corporate purposes, which includes, without limitation, ongoing research and pre-clinical studies, clinical trials, the development of
new biological and pharmaceutical technologies, investing in or acquiring companies that are synergistic with or complementary to its
technologies, licensing activities related to its current and future product candidates, and the development of emerging technologies,
investing in or acquiring companies that are developing emerging technologies, licensing activities, or the acquisition of other businesses
and working capital. The May 2025 Public Offering closed on May 7, 2025.
In addition, the Company issued to the placement agent
or its designees warrants (the “May 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price equal to $ 1.75 per share. The May 2025 Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series
C Common Warrants, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of five ( 5 ) years from the date of the May 2025 Purchase
Agreements.
The warrants issued in connection with the May
2025 Public Offering met the requirement for equity classification. The Company computes the fair value of warrants and options using
a Black-Scholes model. The expected term used for warrants is the contractual life. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure
based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued,
of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from
U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal and Regulatory Environment
The healthcare industry is subject to numerous
laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such
as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare
and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations
of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers.
Violations of these laws and regulations could
result in expulsion from government healthcare programs, together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant
repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations,
as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such
laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted
at this time.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Consulting Agreement with Prof. Lawrence Steinman
The Steinman Consulting Agreement memorializes
the compensation arrangements pursuant to which Prof. Steinman has been compensated for his services to the Company, as previously disclosed
in our public filings. Pursuant to the Steinman Consulting Agreement, Prof. Steinman provides a variety of consulting and advisory services
relating principally to the clinical and commercial development of our product candidates, including our research and development strategy
through all phases of discovery and preclinical development, identifying potential partners for our pre-clinical assets, and business
development efforts related to our pre-clinical assets, among other things. Pursuant to the Steinman Consulting Agreement, Prof. Steinman
receives $ 25,000 per quarter for his services.
NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was
enacted, introducing significant changes to U.S. federal tax law, including modifications to corporate tax rates, deductions, and tax
credit provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the new law and assessing the potential impacts on its consolidated
financial statements.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not completed
its analysis and has therefore not recorded any material adjustments related to the new legislation. The final impact of the tax law may
differ from the Company’s current estimates as the assessment is completed and additional guidance, interpretations, or clarifications
become available.
NOTE 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company views its operations and manages its business
as one operating and reportable segment, which is the business of research and development of innovative treatments for central
nervous system (CNS) disorders, RASopathies, MAPK pathway-driven tumors and other diseases. The determination of a single operating segment
is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the CODM. Consistent with the operational structure, the
Chief Executive Officer, as the CODM, reviews and evaluates net loss for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions,
allocating resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, therapeutic areas and research and development
projects, and planning and forecasting for future periods on a consolidated basis. Operating expenses are used to monitor budget versus
actual results in assessing performance of the segment. Total assets are monitored by the CODM on a consolidated basis which is reported
on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. All the Company’s long-lived assets are held in the United States.
The following table is representative of the significant
expense categories regularly provided to the CODM when managing the Company’s single reporting segment. A reconciliation to
the consolidated net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is included at the bottom of the table below.

Company Summary
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company
primarily focused on the discovery, research and development of innovative treatments for CNS disorders, RASopathies, MAPK pathway-driven
tumors and other diseases.
Our primary operations (the “Therapeutics”
segment) are focused on developing our lead product candidate, PAS-004, a next-generation macrocyclic mitogen-activated protein kinase,
or MEK inhibitor that we believe may address the limitations and liabilities associated with existing drugs targeting a similar mechanism
of action. In December 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) cleared our Investigational New Drug application
(the “IND”) for PAS-004 and we received a study may proceed letter from the FDA for our Phase 1 multicenter, open-label, dose
escalation trial of PAS-004 in patients with MAPK pathway-driven advanced tumors with a documented RAS, NF1 or RAF mutation or patients
who have failed BRAF/MEK inhibition (the “FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study”). We are currently conducting the FIH Phase 1
Dose Escalation Study at four clinical sites in the United States and three additional sites in Eastern Europe and expect to complete
the FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study in 2026.
In May 2025, we initiated a Phase 1/1b multicenter,
open-label, dose escalation trial of PAS-004 in adult patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (“NF1”) with symptomatic and
inoperable, incompletely resected, or recurrent plexiform neurofibromas (“PN”) with the activation of the first clinical trial
site in Australia. We expect to conduct the trial at a total of five sites in Australia, South Korea and the United States in up to 24
patients in a dose escalation phase followed by 24 patients in an expansion phase.
The initial indication we plan to seek FDA marketing
approval for PAS-004 is the treatment of symptomatic PNs in both adult and pediatric patients with NF1. As such, we aim to conduct a Phase
1 trial for pediatric NF1-PN patients and ultimately complete registrational clinical trials in both adult and pediatric NF1-PN populations.
Additionally, we have two programs that are in
the discovery stage, which we believe address limitations in the treatment paradigm of the indications we plan to address with these programs,
which are currently amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) for PAS-003 and schizophrenia for PAS-001.
Our ability to generate product revenue will depend
on the successful development, regulatory approval and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Until such
time we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity,
debt financings, or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. Adequate
funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when
needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
We expect to continue to incur significant expenses
and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance our product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials
and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to
incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. We expect our expenses
and capital requirements will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities as we:
●
establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our drugs, if approved, and for any other product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval;
●
maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
●
hire additional clinical, scientific and commercial personnel;
●
add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and planned future commercialization efforts; and
●
acquire or in-license or invent other product candidates or technologies.

Recent Developments
Clinical Updates
On April 29, 2025, we announced completion of
enrollment and initial dosing of three subjects in cohort 6 with 30mg capsules of PAS-004 from our ongoing FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation
Study. On May 6, 2025, we announced pharmacodynamics results demonstrating robust target engagement from our ongoing FIH Phase 1 Dose
Escalation Study of PAS-004. On May 14, 2025, we announced the initiation of our Phase 1/1b clinical trial to assess PAS-004 in adult
NF1-PN patients. On July 31, 2025, we announced the completion of enrollment and initial dosing of the first cohort of three patients
from our Phase 1/1b clinical trial in adult NF1-PN patients.
May 2025 Public Offering
On May 7, 2025, we closed a public offering (the “May 2025 Public
Offering”) of 3,571,428 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and accompanying Series C warrants to purchase
up to 3,571,428 shares of Common Stock and Series D warrants to purchase up to 3,571,428 shares of Common Stock, at a combined offering
price of $1.40 per share of Common Stock (or per pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrants. The Series C warrants
have an exercise price of $1.40 per share, are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years thereafter. The Series D warrants
have an exercise price of $1.40 per share, are exercisable upon issuance and will expire 18 months thereafter. Additionally, in connection
with the closing of the May 2025 Public Offering, certain investors exercised Series D warrants to purchase an aggregate of 914,286 shares
of Common Stock, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. Total gross proceeds to the Company from the May
2025 Public Offering were $5.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the
Company. Aggregate gross proceeds from the May 2025 Public Offering and the exercise of the Series D warrants were approximately $6.3
million.
Nasdaq Deficiency
On June 23, 2025, we received a written notice
(the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that
we are not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing
on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of our Common
Stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
We intend to monitor the closing bid price of
our Common Stock and are considering our options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement within the allotted deadlines for
compliance, including implementing a potential reverse stock split of our Common Stock as contemplated in our proxy statement for our
2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
Impact of Inflation
We have recently experienced higher costs across
our business as a result of inflation, including higher costs related to employee compensation and outside services. Although we anticipate
a decline in the rate of inflation throughout 2025, we expect inflation to continue to have a negative impact throughout 2025, and it
is uncertain whether we will be able to offset the impact of inflationary pressures in the near term.

General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased
by approximately $75,000, or 5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase
was primarily driven by increases in (i) accounting and business development of approximately $126,000, (ii) other income of $94,000,
(iii) personnel and other expense of approximately $80,000, (iv) gain on asset disposal of approximately $9,000, (v) consulting costs
of approximately $9,000, and (vi) legal expenses of approximately $5,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in (i) office
expenses of approximately $153,000, (ii) non-cash stock-based expense of approximately $54,000 and (iii) public company expenses of approximately
$41,000.
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $266,000,
or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases
in (i) legal expenses of approximately $241,000, (ii) non-cash stock-based expense of approximately $215,000, (iii) public company expenses
of approximately $96,000, and (iv) office expenses of approximately $38,000. These decreases were partially offset by increases
in (i) accounting and business development of approximately $117,000, (ii) personnel and other expense of approximately $95,000, (iii)
other income of approximately $94,000, (iv) gain on asset disposal of approximately $9,000, and (v) consulting costs of approximately
$9,000.
We expect general and administrative expenses
to decrease slightly throughout fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily due to reduced legal and public company and
corporate communications expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses relate to activities
primarily focused on the development of PAS-004 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and PAS-004, PAS-003, and PAS-001 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Research and development
expenses decreased by approximately $209,000, or 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June
30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in (i) preclinical research and development expenses related to de-prioritization
of our discovery programs of approximately $850,000, (ii) consulting expense of approximately $32,000, (iii) stock compensation expense
of approximately $49,000, (iv) manufacturing and CMC expenses of approximately $289,000 and (v) other expense of approximately $69,000.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in clinical trials expense of approximately $1,080,000 related to the ongoing FIH
Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of PAS-004 and the initiation of the Phase 1/1b clinical trial of PAS-004 in adult NF1-PN patients.
Research and development
expenses decreased by approximately $229,000, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30,
2024. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in (i) preclinical research and development expenses related to our discovery programs
of approximately $1,325,000, (ii) consulting expense of approximately $130,000, (iii) stock compensation expense of approximately $136,000,
(iv) manufacturing and CMC expenses of approximately $345,000 and (v) other expense of approximately $122,000. These decreases were partially
offset by an increase in clinical trials expense of approximately $1,829,000 related to the ongoing FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study
of PAS-004 and the initiation of the Phase 1/1b clinical trial of PAS-004 in adult NF1-PN patients.
We expect research and development expenses to
increase throughout fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily due to (i) an increase in clinical research for PAS-004
related to the ongoing FIH Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study and the Phase 1/1b clinical trial of PAS-004 in adult NF1-PN patients, and (ii)
an increase in manufacturing costs related to the drug supply for our clinical trials, offset by decreases in pre-clinical research and
the reduction in workforce related to the closure of our research laboratory.
Other income, net
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, other
income, net increased by approximately $16,000, or 20%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in other income,
net is primarily due to increases in foreign currency transactions gain of approximately $29,000, fair value of the Public Warrants and
the Representative Warrants (as such terms are defined in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) of approximately $27,000, and other
income of approximately $20,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividends, net of approximately $60,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other
income, net decreased by approximately $47,000, or 18%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in other income,
net is due primarily to decreases in interest and dividends, net of approximately $166,000 and a realized foreign currency translation
loss from dissolution of subsidiaries of approximately $7,000, partially offset by an increase in fair value of the Public Warrants and
the Representative Warrants of approximately $77,000, foreign currency transactions gain of approximately $29,000 and other income of
approximately $20,000.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately
$0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a decrease of approximately $8.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to cash provided
by financing activities related to proceeds from at-the-market sales of common stock of $2.0 million, proceeds from the issuance of common
stock through a May 2025 Public Offering of $4.2 million and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $1.3 million, which was partially
offset by payments on director and officer insurance of $0.3 million. These net financing proceeds were partially offset by cash used
in operations of approximately $6.9 million. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to cash used
to fund operations.
Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook
As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $7.2 million in operating
bank accounts and money market funds, with working capital of approximately $6.9 million. We are dependent on obtaining additional working
capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute our development plans and continue operations.
Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity was and continues to be satisfied through the net proceeds
from the Initial Public Offering, the private placements we consummated in November 2021 and September 2024, the May 2025 Public Offering
described above, the receipt of cash upon the prior exercise of our outstanding warrants and the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the
ATM Agreement. Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will not have sufficient working capital to meet our needs through
twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, without raising additional capital.
We are able to sell securities on a shelf registration
statement pursuant to the ATM Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. Under current Securities and Exchange Commission regulations,
if at any time our public float is less than $75.0 million, and for so long as our public float remains less than $75.0 million, the amount
we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any twelve-month period using shelf registration statements is limited
to an aggregate of one-third of our public float, which is referred to as the baby shelf rules. As of June 30, 2025, our calculated public
float is below $75.0 million and we will be restricted from selling more than an aggregate of one-third of our public float pursuant to
a shelf registration statement in any twelve-month period, so long as the aggregate market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates
is less than $75.0 million.
25
Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses,
primarily general and administrative and research and development expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the
timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties
associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of
our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
●
the scope, timing, progress and results of discovery, preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates;
●
the costs of manufacturing our product candidates for clinical trials and in preparation for marketing approval and commercialization;
●
the extent to which we enter into collaborations or other arrangements with third parties in order to further develop our product candidates;
●
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
●
the costs and fees associated with the discovery, acquisition or in-license of additional product candidates or technologies;
●
expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;
●
the costs required to scale up our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing capabilities;
26
●
the costs of future commercialization activities, if any, including establishing sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval; and
●
revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval.
We will need significant additional funds to meet
operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials, other research and development expenditures, and business development
activities. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated
with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays
and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical studies.
Contractual Obligations
See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a summary of our contractual
obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have
any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates, which include (1) stock-based compensation and (2) fair value measurements, are more fully described in the Notes to our Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed on March 24, 2025. During the three
months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in our
Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies in the Notes to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description
of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.
27
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required
to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the
end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Exchange Act, Rule 13a-15(e),
are effective as of June 30, 2025 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits
under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures
or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements
due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
28
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined
adversely to us, we believe would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk
factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2024, as filed on March 24, 2025, except for the below. Our business involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the
risks and uncertainties described below and in our Form 10-K, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties
described below and in our Form 10-K are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we
deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. The realization of any of these risks and uncertainties
could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects
as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our common stock and Public Warrants
could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Failure to comply with The Nasdaq Capital
Market continued listing requirements may result in our Common Stock and/or Public Warrants being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
On June 23, 2025, we received the Notice from
the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our Common Stock for 30 consecutive
business days prior to the delivery of the Notice, we are not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2). We were provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until December 22, 2025, to
regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
We will continue to monitor the closing bid price of our Common Stock
and seek to regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq requirements within the allotted compliance periods and may, if appropriate,
consider available options, including implementation of a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, to regain compliance with the Bid
Price Requirement. If we seek to implement a reverse stock split in order to remain listed on Nasdaq, the announcement or implementation
of such a reverse stock split could negatively affect the price of our Common Stock and/or Public Warrants. If we do not regain compliance
within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that our Common
Stock and/or Public Warrants will be subject to delisting. We would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings
panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day compliance period or
maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our Common Stock
and/or Public Warrants, adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Stock and/or Public Warrants as a result of the loss of market
efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, adversely affect our ability to obtain
financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees
and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of our Common Stock and/or our Public Warrants may decline
further, and stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.
