AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business – In August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc., (“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). The Company engages in the research and development of pharmaceutical and biological products for the treatment of cancer, HIV, and HBV with the intent to manufacture said products. Going Concern – These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue, has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations and has an accumulated deficit of $ 253,204,281 as of September 30, 2023. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon (i) its ability to successfully obtain FDA approval of its product candidates, (ii) its ability to obtain any necessary debt and/or equity financing, and (iii) its ability to generate profits from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Basis of Presentation – The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2023, and 2022 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2023, audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Consolidation – For the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, and fair value of equity instruments issued. Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred. 7 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured amounts at September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, of $ 144,568 and $ 1,526,990 , respectively. Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four to ten years (see Note 4.) Intangible Assets – The Company has both definite and indefinite life intangible assets. Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application. Indefinite life intangible assets include license agreements and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. License agreement costs represent the fair value of the license agreement on the date acquired and are tested annually for impairment, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill – Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually as of June 30 th of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets – We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record an impairment loss for such excess. The annual fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2023, and no additional impairment is deemed necessary as of September 30, 2023 (see Note 5.) For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset, on an annual basis we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any, for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the licenses acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $ 18,960,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023. No impairment was deemed necessary as of September 30, 2023 (see Note 5.) The carrying value of IPR&D and goodwill at September 30, 2023, were $ 42,611,000 and $ 11,640,000 , respectively. 8 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, definite and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use are their respective fair values. Leases – In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company determined the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter. The lease terms include any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise, if applicable. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company develops an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the future payments. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the operating lease right of use assets have been impaired, over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For operating leases that reflect impairment, the Company will recognize the amortization of the operating lease right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus are recognized in general and administrative expenses when incurred (see Note 6.) Research and Development Expenses – The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating, and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the Oncology, HIV and HBV therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for Oncology, HIV and HBV. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, amounted to $ 566,644 , and $ 2,605,375 , respectively. Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. Loss Per Share – The Company calculates earnings/ (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Potential shares of common stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. Because of the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of common stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 17,136,596 and 4,495,477 potential shares of common stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively. 9 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There were no Level 1, 2, or 3 assets, nor any Level 1, 2, or 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there was 0 zero and $ 419,182 loss on extinguishment of the contingent consideration liability. Stock Options and Restricted Share Units – The Company has granted stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and warrants. The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to consultants and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the required service period, which is generally the vesting period. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $ 983,829 and $ 1,026,008 , respectively (See Note 8.) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB do not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. 10 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, has used cash in the Company’s continuing operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $ 9,175,028 and $ 7,699,760 for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 523,474 and an accumulated deficit of $ 253,204,281 . These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Management intends to raise additional funds for (a) research and development, (b) increases in personnel, and (c) the purchase of equipment, specifically to advance the Company’s potential products through the regulatory process. The Company may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of equity or debt securities. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and the failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely affect the Company’s growth plans and its financial condition and results of operations. NOTE 3 — NOTES RECEIVABLE On August 11, 2023, and August 18, 2023, the Company entered into two Promissory Notes (“Notes”) in the amounts $ 550,000 and $ 500,000 , respectively, to lend a total of $ 1.05 million to GEDi Cube Intl Ltd. (“Issuer”) to further develop the Issuer’s IP and technology, which will become part of the combined company. Pursuant to the Notes, the Issuer promised to pay the Company the outstanding principal and related accrued interest at a rate of 6 % per annum on the maturity date, February 11 and February 18, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued interest of $ 7,875 . The balance of the Notes Receivable at September 30, 2023, was $ 1,057,875 . 11 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC.

NOTE 5 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS At September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, definite-life intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, consisted of patents on the Company’s products and processes of $ 37,641 and $ 39,676 , respectively. The patents are recorded at cost and amortized over twenty years from the date of application. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, was $ 781 and $ 1,486 , respectively. At September 30, 2023, and 2022, indefinite life intangible assets consisted of a license agreement classified as In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”) intangible assets, which are not amortizable until the intangible asset provides economic benefit, and goodwill. At September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, definite and indefinite-life intangible assets consisted of the following: Schedule of intangible assets Useful Life June 30, 2023 Period Change Effect of Currency Translation September 30, 2023 Definite Life Intangible Assets Patents 20 Years $ 290,936 $ — $ ( 9,356 ) $ 281,580 Less Accumulated Amortization ( 251,260 ) ( 781 ) 8,102 ( 243,939 ) Net Definite-Life Intangible Assets $ 39,676 $ ( 781 ) $ ( 1,254 ) $ 37,641 Indefinite Life Intangible Assets License Agreement $ 42,611,000 — — $ 42,611,000 Goodwill 11,640,000 — — 11,640,000 Total Indefinite Life Intangible Assets $ 54,251,000 — — $ 54,251,000 Expected future amortization expense is as follows: Schedule of expected future amortization expense Year ending June 30, 2024 $ 7,059 2025 10,194 2026 10,194 2027 10,194 Total $ 37,641 During February 2018, the Company acquired a License Agreement (as licensee) to an HIV therapy which consists of a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans. Because the HIV License Agreement is considered an IPR&D intangible asset it is classified as an indefinite life asset that is tested annually for impairment. Impairment – Following the fourth quarter of each year, management performs its annual test of impairment of intangible assets by performing a quantitative assessment and determines if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is greater than or equal to the carrying value of the asset. The results of the quantitative assessment indicated that the carrying value of the license acquired as an IPR&D asset exceeded its fair value, due to the sublicensing of RENB-HV01, which required a different valuation approach and changes in other factors impacting the fair value of the asset as of June 30, 2023, which resulted in an impairment adjustment of $ 18,960,000 . No impairment was deemed necessary as of September 30, 2023. 12 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 6 — LEASES Operating Leases — On November 13, 2017, Renovaro entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of five years and two months from November 1, 2017, with Plaza Medical Office Building, LLC, a California limited liability company, as landlord, (the “Landlord”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease from the Landlord approximately 2,325 rentable square feet. The base rent increased by 3% each year and ranged from approximately $8,719 per month for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year. The lease was terminated early without penalties or additional costs as of September 30, 2022, that released an accrual of $70,800 related to leasehold improvements that was not utilized. On June 19, 2018, Renovaro entered into a Lease Agreement for a term of ten years from September 1, 2018, with Century City Medical Plaza Land Co., Inc., pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 2,453 rentable square feet. On February 20, 2019, Renovaro entered into an Addendum to the original Lease Agreement with an effective date of December 1, 2019, where it expanded the lease area to include another 1,101 square feet for a total rentable 3,554 square feet. The base rent increases by 3% each year, and ranges from $17,770 per month for the first year to $23,186 per month for the tenth year. The equalized monthly lease payment for the term of the lease is $20,050. Renovaro subleased the space as of June 25, 2022 through April 30, 2023. (See subsection below “ Sublease Agreement ” for details.) The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing the right-of-use asset and corresponding liabilities: Expected lease term — The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and, when applicable, cancelable option periods when it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such options. The Company’s lease has a remaining lease term of 47 months. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted-average remaining term is 3.92 years. Incremental borrowing rate — The Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. As the Company does not have any external borrowings for comparable terms of its leases, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the U.S. Treasury Yield Curve rate that corresponds to the length of each lease. This rate is an estimate of what the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted-average discount rate is 4.03 %. Lease and non-lease components — In certain cases the Company is required to pay for certain additional charges for operating costs, including insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other costs incurred, which are billed based on both usage and as a percentage of the Company’s share of total square footage. The Company determined that these costs are non-lease components, and they are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities because they are variable. Payments for these variable, non-lease components are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred. 13 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Below are the lease commitments for the next 5 years: Schedule of lease commitments Year Ending June 30 th Lease Expense 2024 185,403 2025 253,384 2026 260,985 2027 268,815 2028 45,021 Sub-total 1,013,608 Less imputed interest ( 78,746 ) Total $ 934,862 Sublease Agreement On June 20, 2022, the Company entered into a sublease Agreement with One Health Labs (the “Subtenant”), whereby the Subtenant agreed to lease 3,554 square feet of space currently rented by the Company in Century City Medical Plaza as of June 25, 2022, for a period of 3.5 years with an option to renew for the remaining term of the lease that ends as of June 19, 2028. The base rent was $17,770 per month plus $750 towards utility fees that are part of the original lease agreement and would increase by 3% each year over the term of the sublease. The Company received a total of $57,022 on July 1, 2022 after execution of the sublease to cover the first month rent, utility fee and deposit. The first sublease payment began on August 1, 2022. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company treated the sublease as a separate lease, as the Company was not relieved of the primary obligation under the original lease. The Company continues to account for the Century City Medical Plaza lease as a lessee and in the same manner as prior to the commencement date of the sublease. The Company accounted for the sublease as a lessor of the lease. The sublease was classified as an operating lease, as it did not meet the criteria of a sales-type or direct financing lease. On April 18, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease termination agreement with the Subtenant, whereby the Subtenant and the Company agreed to terminate the sublease effective as of April 30, 2023. The Subtenant agreed to pay the Company $ 139,460 along with the security deposit of $ 35,540 for a total termination fee of $ 175,000 , to permit early termination of the sublease. The Company recognized operating income from the sublease on a straight-line basis in its statements of operations over the sublease term. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the net operating lease expenses were as follows: Schedule of net operating lease expenses Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Operating Lease Expense $ 68,743 $ 43,930 Sublease Income — ( 53,310 ) Total Net Lease Expense (Income) $ 68,743 $ ( 9,380 ) Lease expense (income) charged to general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, amounted to $ 68,743 and $ ( 9,380 ), respectively.

The Company received a total of $ 750,000 in gross proceeds from the private placement, after taking into account the 5 % original issue discount. The 2023 Notes bear an interest rate of 12 % per annum and shall mature on September 5, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company is required to pay interest quarterly, in arrears, in cash, on the first day of each quarter of each year following the Issue Date prior to the maturity of the Notes. The 2023 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Qualified Offering (as defined below) or upon the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay the Note at any time. The 2023 Notes are subject to mandatory conversion (“Mandatory Conversion”) in the event the Company closes an offering of its Common Stock and receives gross proceeds of not less than $ 10,000,000 (“Qualified Offering”). The conversion price per share of Common Stock in the case of a Mandatory Conversion shall be 95 % of the offering price per share in the Qualified Offering, subject to a floor of $ 4.50 per share. In addition, if no Qualified Offering occurs prior to the Maturity Date, the 2023 Notes shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date at a conversion price per share equal to the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Maturity Date, subject to a floor of $ 4.50 per share. The 2023 Notes will be accounted for under ASC 470-20, and all proceeds received from the issuance will be recognized as a liability on the balance sheet net of discount. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued the 2023 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $ 789,474 and received a total of $ 750,000 in gross proceeds, taking into account the 5 % original issue discount.

The outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes was due and payable on February 6, 2023 . Interest on the Convertible Notes commenced accruing on the date of issuance at six percent ( 6 %) per annum, computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, and was compounded monthly on the final day of each calendar month based upon the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding as of such compound date. The interest was payable in cash on a semi-annual basis. The conversion price was equal to $12.00 per share of common stock. The Holder did not exercise its conversion right and the conversion feature expired on February 6, 2021. The Company evaluated the Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 and identified that they each contain an embedded conversion feature that shall not be bifurcated from the host document (i.e., the Convertible Notes) as they are not deemed to be readily convertible into cash. All proceeds received from the issuance were recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. 15 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Effective December 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company amended and restated the Convertible Notes (the “Amended and Restated Secured Notes”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Secured Notes, the due date was extended to February 28, 2024 . The Amended and Restated Secured Notes are convertible by the Holder if the Company consummates a public offering or private placement of common stock or securities convertible into common stock. The conversion price shall be the price being paid by the investors in such offering. The interest was increased to twelve percent ( 12 %) per annum, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the date of amendment through the issuance of 198,439 shares of the Company’s common stock: 29,419 shares for accrued interest up to the Effective Date and 169,020 shares related to the prepayment of interest through the extension date of the Amended and Restated Secured Notes using the closing market price on the Effective Date, of $ 1.03 . The obligations of the Company under the Amended and Restated Secured Notes were secured by a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The Company evaluated the Amended and Restated Secured Notes and conversion feature to determine the appropriate accounting treatment based on the terms of the agreement. In accordance with ASC 480-Distinguising Liabilities from Equity, the Company determined that the Amended and Restated Secured Notes embody an obligation that may require the Company to settle with the issuance of a variable number of shares, where the monetary value of the obligation is based predominantly on a fixed monetary amount of $ 1,200,000 known at inception. Accordingly, the Company recorded the Amended and Restated Secured Notes as share settled debt. The total value of the shares issued was $ 204,392 which included $ 174,090 of prepaid interest and $ 30,302 for accrued interest as of December 30, 2022. On June 26, 2023, the Holder notified the Company that it wished to elect to exercise its conversion right triggered by a private placement. Therefore, all outstanding $ 1,200,000 Amended and Restated Secured Notes were converted into 2,264,150 shares of common stock and 1,132,075 warrants. There were no Amended and Restated Secured Notes outstanding after the foregoing conversion. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded accrued interest in the amount of zero 0 and $ 12,030 , which is included in accrued expenses, respectively.

The Amended and Restated Secured Notes balance as of September 30, 2023 was zero 0 . Note Payable — On March 30, 2020 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company issued a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $ 5,000,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to the Holder. The principal amount of the Promissory Note was originally payable on November 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”). The Promissory Note bore interest at a fixed rate of 6 % per annum, computed based on the number of days between the Issuance Date and the Maturity Date, and the interest was prepaid by the Company in full on the Issuance Date through the issuance of 188,485 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $ 501,370 . The Company evaluated the Promissory Note and PIK interest in accordance with ASC 470-Debt and ASC 835-Interest, respectively. Pursuant to ASC 470-20, proceeds received from the issuance are to be recognized at their relative fair value, thus the liability is shown net of the corresponding discount of $ 493,192 , which is the relative fair value of the shares issued for the PIK interest on the closing date using the effective interest method. The discount of $ 493,192 will be accreted over the life of the Promissory Note. On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Promissory Note that extended the Maturity Date to November 30, 2022. All other terms of the Promissory Note remained the same. The change in Maturity Date required an additional year of interest at the fixed rate of 6 % per annum, which was prepaid by the Company in full on the date of the amendment through the issuance of 74,054 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the closing market price on that date for a total value of $ 298,178 . 16 RENOVARO BIOSCIENCES INC.

The Holder elected the interest be paid in cash (the “Interest Payment”). Effective December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Promissory Note. Pursuant to the third amendment, the Company’s obligations under the Promissory Note were secured by the Security Agreement. To secure the Company’s obligations under each of the Amended and Restated Secured Notes and the Promissory Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with the Holder, pursuant to which the Company granted a lien on all assets of the Company (the “Collateral”) for the benefit of the Holder. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Secured Notes and Promissory Note, respectively) the Holder may, among other things, collect or take possession of the Collateral, proceed with the foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral or sell, lease, or dispose of the Collateral. On June 12, 2023, the Holder notified the Company that it wanted to apply the Interest Payment due to it towards the Company’s next private placement. Therefore, on June 26, 2023, in conjunction with the Company’s private placement, the Company issued (i) 567,588 shares of its common stock, per share and (ii) warrants to purchase 283,794 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $ 0.53 per share and applied the Interest Payment of $ 300,822 it owed to the Holder. On July 31, 2023, the Company and the Holder agreed to amend the Promissory Note (the “Fourth Amendment”) to provide the Holder with limited conversion rights in connection with the Company’s next private placement. Per the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the Holder could elect to convert $2 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note into the Units being offered in the private placement at a price per Unit being paid by the investors in the private placement (the “Conversion Right”). On August 1, 2023, the Holder notified the Company of its election to exercise the Conversion Right. As a result, $2 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note was converted into 280,505 Units at $7.13 per unit, comprised of an aggregate of (i) 280,505 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and (ii) Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,402,525 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.65 per share. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock acquired by the Holder is initially convertible into 2,805,050 shares of common stock. A $3 million principal balance remains outstanding under the Promissory Note after the forgoing conversion. The Company concluded that in accordance with ASC 470-20-40-4, the difference between the fair value of the Preferred Shares and warrants and the carrying value of the portion of the Note being converted should be recognized as an extinguishment. The extinguishment loss of $120,018 is recorded in Other Income/Loss in the Statement of Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, discount amortization of $ 165,023 and $ 74,621 was charged to interest expense.
