RENOVARO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
– On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name from Renovaro Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Inc.
(“Renovaro”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”). In
August 2023, the Company changed its corporate name from Enochian Biosciences Inc. to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. 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. On February 13, 2024, Renovaro Inc. acquired Renovaro Cube Intl Ltd and its subsidiaries (“Renovaro Cube”), as a wholly
owned subsidiary pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.
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 March 31, 2024, and 2023 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 period ended March
31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Consolidation – For
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations
of the Company 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 of assets
acquired in a business acquisition, contingent consideration, and equity instruments issued for goods or services.
Functional
Currency & Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Denmark is the Danish Kroner
(“DKK”) and the functional currency of Renovaro Cube is the Euro (“EUR”). 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 March 31, 2024, and 2023. 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.
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
– Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial
institutions, which, at times, exceed the amount of deposit insurance provided within the relevant jurisdiction where the deposits
are held. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the
Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

RENOVARO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
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”. Definite life 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. Definite life 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 in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and goodwill. The Company accounts for indefinite life intangible
assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. IPR&D represents the fair value of the technology
on the date acquired and is 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 Company has elected to perform its annual analysis on June 30th.
The annual fair value analysis performed on goodwill supported that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2023. There have been no
events which have caused the Company to conduct an interim evaluation of its goodwill through March 31, 2024 (see Note 5.)
For indefinite-lived intangible
assets, such as IPR&D, on an annual basis on June 30th 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
IPR&D exceeded its fair value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $18,960,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $8,421,000 related to the termination of the HV-01
license (see Note 5.)
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.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
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 and nine months ended
March 31, 2024, amounted to $ 1,087,156 , and $ 2,274,321 , respectively. Research and development expenses for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $ 239,137 , and $ 3,170,471 , 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 and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. Because of the net
loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the dilutive shares for all periods were excluded from the Diluted
EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 9,522,967 and 5,410,460 potential
shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively.
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, or 2 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and
2023, respectively. Level 3 liabilities held as of March 31, 2024, consisted of a contingent consideration
liability related to the February 13, 2024, acquisition of Renovaro Cube (see Note 3.)

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 and nine months ended March
31, 2024 were $ 1,861,601 and $ 3,844,658 , respectively. Stock based compensation costs for the vesting of options and RSUs granted for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $ 1,076,203 and $ 2,922,166 , 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.
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 $ 17,024,414 and $ 30,728,563 for the three and nine months ended March
31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 312,697 and an accumulated deficit of $ 274,757,816
and a working capital deficit of $ 19,654,098 . 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 has reduced overhead and administrative costs by streamlining the organization
to focus around two of its therapies (oncology and a HIV therapeutic vaccine) and investment in the development and validation of its
AI driven cancer diagnostics platform. The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these therapies. In addition, the Company intends
to attempt to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain any sources of funding. Such additional funding may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms,
and, in the case of equity financing transactions, could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain
required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend
operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with
whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations,
we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their
investment in us.
Funding that we may receive during
the fiscal year 2024 is expected to be used to satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities and working capital needs, to support
commercialization of our products, to conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop our product candidates, and to begin building
working capital reserves.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the
guidance establishes a three-tier fair val ue hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
●
Level 1. Observable inputs
such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
●
Level 2. Inputs, other
than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
●
Level 3. Unobservable inputs
in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
There
we re no Level 1, 2 or 3 assets, nor any Level 1 or 2 liabilities as of March 31, 2024.
Level 3 liabilities held as of
March 31, 2024, consisted of a contingent consideration liability related to the February 13, 2014, acquisition of Renovaro
Cube, (the “Acquisition”). As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of Renovaro Cube received (i) 70,834,183
shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the right to receive contingent shares pro rata
upon the exercise of convertible notes, options, and warrants, which were outstanding at closing. The contingent consideration liability
was recorded at fair value of $ 20,557,500
at the time of acquisition and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end
of each reporting period. At March 31, 2024, there were 8,474,146
contingent shares issuable in connection with the Acquisition of Renovaro Cube.
The fair value of the
contingent consideration liability is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a Monte-Carlo option pricing model.
The key inputs to the model are all contractual or observable with the exception being volatility, which is computed, based on the
volatility of the Company’s underlying stock. The key inputs to valuing the contingent consideration liability as of March 31,
2024, were:

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.)
Renovaro Cube leases an office
facility in Amsterdam, Netherlands, under a 30-month operating lease agreement commencing on September 1, 2023, with a maturity date of
February 28, 2026. In determining lease asset values, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives,
and options to extend, terminate or purchase.
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 leases have a remaining lease term of 41 and 23 months. As of
March 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining term is 2.77 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 March 31, 2024, the weighted-average
discount rate is 5.16 %.
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.

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.

NOTE 7 — DEBT (Continued)
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.
On January 11, 2024, the Company
entered into an amendment with one of the investors of the 2023 Notes whereas the conversion terms were amended to provide for optional
conversion at a conversion price of $ 3.38 per share. All other terms of the Promissory Note remained the same. The Company treated this
as a modification for accounting purposes.
For the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2024, discount amortization of $ 26,316 and $ 55,694 was charged to interest expense, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the
Company accrued interest expense of $ 134,719 . The 2023 Notes balance, net of discount at March 31, 2024 is $ 2,055,694 .
The Convertible Notes —
On February 6, 2020, the Company issued two Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to Paseco ApS (the “Holder”),
a Danish limited company and an existing stockholder of the Company, each with a face value amount of $ 600,000 , convertible into shares
of Common Stock. 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 feature that 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.
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 rate 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- Distinguishing 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.

engaged in a “concerted, deliberate scheme to alter, falsify, and misrepresent to the Company the results of multiple studies supporting
its Hepatitis B and SARS-CoV-2/influenza pipelines.” Specifically, “Defendants manipulated negative results to reflect positive
outcomes from various studies, and even fabricated studies out of whole cloth.” As a result of the Defendants’ conduct, the
Company claims that it “paid approximately $25 million to Defendants and third-parties that it would not otherwise have paid.”
On April 21, 2023, defendants Wittekind, G Tech, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI filed a demurrer with respect to some, but not all,
of the Company’s claims, as well as a motion to strike. On September 6, 2023, the court denied in part and granted in part the pending

Wittekind 2021 Annuity Trust, the Dybul 2020 Angel Annuity Trust, and the Ty Mabry 2021 Annuity Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”)
(collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed a Verified Complaint against the Company in the Court of Chancery of Delaware. In the Verified
Complaint, Plaintiffs alleged that the Company breached the February 16, 2018 Investor Rights Agreement between the Company, Weird Science,
and RS Group ApS (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). According to the Verified Complaint, the Investor Rights Agreement required
the Company to (i) notify all “Holders” of “Registrable Securities” at least 30 days prior to filing a registration
statement and (ii) afford such Holders an opportunity to have their Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. Plaintiffs
alleged that the Company breached these registration rights by failing to provide the required notice in connection with S-3 registration
statements filed by the Company on July 13, 2020 and February 11, 2022. The Company moved to dismiss the Verified Complaint on September
15, 2023.
On December
4, 2023, in lieu of opposing the motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed a Verified First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). In the FAC,
Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company and others for purported breaches of the Investor Rights Agreement, fraud, tortious interference
with a contract, and several other torts. Plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages, as well as certain declaratory
relief, specific performance, and pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss
the FAC on December 18, 2023. The Company denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.
On August 24, 2023, counsel on behalf of Weird Science,
Wittekind, individually, and Wittekind, as trustee of the Trusts served a demand to inspect the Company’s books and records (the
“Demand”) pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, § 220 (“Section 220”). The Demand seeks the
Company’s books and records in connection with various issues identified in the Demand. The Company takes its obligations under
Section 220 seriously and, to the extent that the requests are proper under Section 220, intends to comply with those obligations.
On January
23, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District
of California against certain officers, directors, and investors of the Company, as well as other defendants. The Verified Stockholder
Derivative Complaint (“Derivative Complaint”) alleges, among other claims, violations of Section 13(d) and 14(a) and Rules
10b-5(a), 10b-5(c) and 14a-9 of the Exchange Act of 1934. The Derivative Complaint also includes claims of breach of fiduciary duty, corporate
waste, unjust enrichment, and contribution/indemnification. Weird Science and Wittekind seek unspecified compensatory, exemplary and punitive
damages and certain injunctive relief. Simultaneously with the Derivative Complaint, Weird Science and Wittekind filed an emergency Ex
Parte Application for Temporary Restraining Order (“Application”) asking the Court to enjoin a special meeting of the
Company’s stockholders noticed for January 25, 2024. As the basis for the Application, Weird Science and Wittekind recited many
of the same allegations as in the Derivative Complaint. The Court denied the Application on January 24, 2024. The defendants have not
yet responded to the Derivative Complaint. The Company denies the allegations in the Derivative Complaint and intends to vigorously defend
against the claims asserted therein.

On February
13, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced acquisition of GEDi Cube and the other transactions
contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, GEDi Cube
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant
to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding equity interests of GEDi
Cube owned by the Sellers as of the Closing Date (each, a “GEDi Cube Share” and, collectively, the “GEDi Cube Shares”)
in exchange for which each Seller was entitled to receive (i) as of the Closing Date, such Seller’s pro rata percentage of an aggregate
of 70,834,183 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), which represents the
67,224,089 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date (minus (a) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously
issued to a consultant assisting with the Transaction and (b) 1 million shares of Common Stock previously issued to Avram Miller, a director
of the Company, pursuant to his Advisory Agreement, dated October 11, 2023, by and between Mr. Miller and the Company) (the “Closing
Consideration”) plus 5,610,100 shares of Common Stock representing the Seller’s Earnout Shares (defined below) resulting
from the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred and, (ii) following the Closing Date, such Seller’s
pro rata percentage of the shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares” and, together with the Closing Consideration, the
“Exchange Consideration”) to be issued to the Sellers upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s derivative
securities (subject to certain exceptions) that are outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Closing Derivative Securities”).
Each Seller’s pro rata percentage of the Exchange Consideration is equal to the ratio of the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares
owned by such Seller divided by the aggregate number of GEDi Cube Shares issued and outstanding, in each case, as of the Closing Date.
The
transaction was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-10 - Business Combinations . As a result
of the issuance of the Closing Consideration on the Closing Date and based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the
Closing Date, the Sellers held approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing
of the Transaction and the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The
assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized provisionally in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at
their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete as the
Company is in the process of obtaining additional information for the valuation of acquired intangible assets and deferred tax
liabilities. The provisional amounts are subject to change to the extent that additional information is obtained about the facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Under U.S. GAAP, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the
acquisition date and the Company will finalize these amounts no later than February 13, 2025. The estimated fair values as of the
acquisition date are based on information that existed as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period the Company may
adjust provisional amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed to reflect new information that the Company has
subsequently obtained regarding facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

The goodwill
recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Gedi Cube. None of the goodwill is expected
to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The
fair values of the acquired tangible and intangible assets were determined using variations of the income approach. The income approach
valuation methodology used for the intangible assets acquired makes use of Level 3 inputs.
The in-process
research and development acquired represents know-how and intellectual property being developed by GEDi Cube pertaining to its diagnostic
platform currently being developed. The fair value of this asset was determined based on a cash flow model with forecasted revenues and
expenses specifically tied to the diagnostic platform. Those cash flows were then discounted at 19.2% over the life of the projections.
The discount rate was determined by the use of a weighted average return on assets analysis.
The
Company recognized approximately $ 1.2
million of acquisition related costs that were expensed during the period ended March 31, 2024. These costs are included in
“selling, general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
