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”). Renovaro Inc. operates through two
subsidiaries, Renovaro Biosciences and Renovaro Cube. Renovaro Cube refers to Renovaro Cube Intl Ltd. (formerly known as GediCube Intl.
Ltd.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries GediCube, B.V. and Grace Systems B.V., which were acquired on February 13, 2024.
Renovaro Biosciences is a biotechnology
company intending to develop advanced allogeneic cell and gene therapies to promote stronger immune system responses potentially for long-term
or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers, and potentially to treat or cure serious infectious diseases such as Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. Renovaro Cube is an AI-driven healthcare technology company focusing on the earliest possible
detection of cancer and its recurrence. Renovaro Cube has developed a proprietary AI platform that analyzes genetics using Explainable
AI to provide earlier and more accurate cancer diagnosis.
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, 2025, and 2024 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, 2024 audited financial
statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.
Consolidation – For
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, 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.
Loss 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 nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, 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 12,850,390 and 9,522,967 potential
shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
8
Functional Currency & Foreign
Currency Translation – The functional currency of Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS 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, 2025, and 2024. 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.
Investment in Equity Securities
– The Company accounts for investments in equity securities in accordance with ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income
or loss. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost, less impairment, if any, and adjusted for observable
price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company evaluates such investments
at each reporting period for impairment or other observable transactions that would require adjustment. On February 28, 2025, the Company
purchased $ 500,000 of equity securities. During the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a change in fair value of equity
securities for $ 210,281 (see note 3). The investment in equity securities balance at March 31, 2025, was $ 710,281 .
Recently Adopted Accounting
Pronouncements – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “ Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segment Disclosures ,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an
annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets
that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2024. The
adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued
ASU 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ,” which enhances the transparency and
decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the
rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the
effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption
permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company currently believes
there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to our 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 income (loss) of $ 189,176 and $( 51,275,253 ) for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 923,002 and an accumulated deficit of
$ 383,730,334 and a working capital deficit of $ 25,173,586 . 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 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.
9
Management has reduced overhead
and administrative costs by streamlining the organization to focus around the development and validation of its AI-driven cancer diagnostics
platform. The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these activities. In addition, the Company intends 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 2025
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 value 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 were no Level 2 and 3 assets,
or any Level 1 or 2 liabilities as of March 31, 2025.
Unless otherwise disclosed, the
fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued
expenses, lease obligations and notes payable approximate their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.
Level 1 assets held as of March
31, 2025, consisted of an investment in equity securities related to an extension agreement entered on February 28, 2024 .
The Company purchased 467,290 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.07 per share. The investment in equity securities was recorded
at a fair value of $500,000 at the time of purchase and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company held 467,290 shares of common stock in connection with the investment in equity securities.
Level 3 liabilities held as of
March 31, 2025, consisted of a contingent consideration liability related to the February 13, 2024 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 up to 11,899,545 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 the Acquisition and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. As of March 31, 2025,
there were 2,775,650 contingent shares issuable in connection with the Acquisition.
10
The Company’s assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on recurring bases as of March 31, 2025 were as follows:

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, 2025, were:

NOTE 4 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
On February 13, 2024, the Company
acquired Renovaro Cube as a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. As part of the acquisition of Renovaro
Cube, the Company acquired goodwill valued at $ 159,464,039 .
Impairment – During the nine months ended March
31, 2025, the results of the assessment indicated that the carrying value of the RENC reporting unit exceeded its fair value, due to the
decline in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit based on the Company’s market capitalization. Management concluded the
significant driver for the change in the economic benefits was due to the Company’s continued inability to raise capital for the
further development of the technologies within this reporting unit. Therefore, an impairment adjustment of $ 47,614,729 was recorded for
the period ended March 31, 2025.

for such forfeiture, the Company granted to Mr. Miller, an option to purchase 978,261 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a per-share
exercise price of, $ 0.69 . The Company determined that this transaction represented a modification of the original award. The Company measured
the fair value of the options issued as compared to the fair value of the original issuance and determined that there was no incremental
compensation to recognize as the fair value of the options was less than the fair value of the Common Stock. Therefore, the Company will
recognize the remaining fair value of the original award over the remaining vesting period, which is one year. The Company recognized
stock-based compensation expense of $ 847,082 related to the vesting of the stocks options during the period ended March 31, 2025. At March
31, 2025, the Company had $ 497,761 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options which vest at August 23, 2025.

On November 4, 2024, the Company
issued 362,904 stock options to its board of directors. The options had a fair value of $ 190,525 on the grant date, fully vest on October

On November 4, 2024, the Company
issued 58,500 stock options to its former interim Chief Financial Officer. The options had a fair value of $ 31,005 on the grant date,
fully vest on January 6, 2025 and expire on November 4, 2034. Subsequently, during the period ended March 31, 2025, pursuant to the Company’s

which were issued on November 4, 2024.
On January 21, 2025, the Company
issued 250,000 stock options to the Chief Financial Officer of Renovaro Cube. The options had a fair value of $ 151,750 on the grant date,

Contingencies
Securities Class Action Litigation.
On July 26, 2022 and July 28, 2022, securities class action complaints (the former, the “Chow Action” and the latter, the
“Manici Action”) and together, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”) were filed by purported stockholders
of the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s
current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions
of material fact in connection with the Company’s relationship with Serhat Gümrükcü and its commercial prospects.
The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On November 22, 2022, the Manici Action was voluntarily dismissed
without prejudice, but the Chow action remains pending. On October 22, 2023, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff in the Chow Action.
The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 15, 2023. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on March
15, 2024. The Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss on June 28, 2024. A mediation was held on September 17, 2024, after which
the parties signed a stipulation of settlement, dated November 8, 2024. The plaintiff filed their motion for preliminary approval of the
settlement on December 9, 2024. On December 18, 2024, the Company filed a notice of non-opposition to the motion for preliminary approval
of the settlement. On January 7, 2025, the Court took the plaintiff’s motion for preliminary approval of the settlement under consideration
without oral argument.
Federal Derivative Litigation.
On September 22, 2022, Samuel E. Koenig filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California (the “Koenig Matter”). On January 19, 2023, John Solak filed a substantially similar shareholder derivative
action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Solak Matter”). Both derivative actions recite
similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation. The actions, filed on behalf of the Company, name
Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s former directors as defendants. The actions also name the Company as
a nominal defendant. The actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and also set out
claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiffs do not
quantify any alleged injury, but seek damages, disgorgement, restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 24, 2023, the United
States District Court for the Central District of California stayed the Koenig Matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated
motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On April 4, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
stayed the Solak Matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation.
On June 28, 2024,
17
the United States District Court for the Central District
of California denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action Litigation. The Koenig Matter is currently stayed
and the parties’ deadline to file a joint status report is July 11, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the court stayed the Solak Matter for
ninety (90) days and the deadline for the parties to file a joint status report or further stay of the action is July 29, 2025. The defendants
have not yet responded to the Koenig or Solak complaints. The Company intends to contest these matters but expresses no opinion as to
the likelihood of favorable outcomes. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss, including a possible range of losses,
if any, arising from this matter as of the reporting date.
State Derivative Litigation.
On October 20, 2022, Susan Midler filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, reciting
similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation (the “Midler Matter”). The action, filed
on behalf of the Company, names Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants.
The action also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The action sets out claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, contribution and
indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiff does not quantify any alleged injury, but seeks damages, disgorgement,
restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 20, 2023, the Court stayed the Midler matter pending resolution of the defendants’
anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On June 28, 2024, the United States District Court for the Central
District of California denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action Litigation. On April 29, 2025, the court
stayed the Midler Matter for ninety (90) days. The parties’ deadline to file a joint status report in the Midler action is July
28, 2025. The defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. The Company intends to contest this matter but expresses no opinion
as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss, including a possible range of
losses, if any, arising from this matter as of the reporting date.
On October
21, 2022, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Serhat
Gümrükcü, William Anderson Wittekind (“Wittekind”), G Tech Bio, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI (collectively,
the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that the Defendants 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 motions.
On December
4, 2023, the Defendants answered the Company’s First Amended Complaint and G Tech and SRI filed a Cross-Complaint. In the Cross-Complaint,
G Tech and SRI seek declaratory and injunctive relief related to certain agreements between G Tech, SRI, and the Company, including, inter
alia , a declaration that the Framework Agreement, effective as of November 15, 2019, the Statement of Work & License Agreement,
effective as of January 31, 2020, and the Statement of Work and License Agreement for Influenza and Coronavirus Indications, effective
as of April 18, 2021, have been terminated and the Company has no rights to any license under such agreements.
Trial
was scheduled to begin on March 3, 2025. On November 14, 2024, the court vacated the March 3, 2025 trial date and set a trial setting
conference for May 1, 2025. At the May 1, 2025 trial setting conference, the court reset the trial to begin on November 30, 2026. Discovery
remains ongoing. The Company denies the allegations in Defendants’ cross claims and intends to vigorously defend against them while
pursuing its claims against the Defendants.
On March
1, 2021, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Robert Wolfe and his company, Crossfield, Inc., filed a Complaint in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont against the Company, Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS, and certain directors and officers.
In the Complaint, Mr. Wolfe and Crossfield, Inc. asserted claims for abuse of process and malicious prosecution, alleging, inter alia,
that the Company lacked probable cause to file and prosecute an earlier action, and sought millions of dollars of compensatory damages,
as well as punitive damages. The allegations in the Complaint relate to an earlier action filed by the Company and Renovaro Biosciences
Denmark ApS in the Vermont Superior Court, Orange Civil Division. On March 3, 2022, the court partially granted the Company’s motion
to dismiss, dismissing the abuse of process claim against all defendants and all claims against Mark Dybul and Henrik Grønfeldt-Sørensen,
the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former member of the Board of Directors, respectively. On November 29, 2022, the
Company filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to the sole remaining claim of malicious prosecution. On August 24, 2023, the
court denied the motion for summary judgment.
18
On or
about April 16, 2025, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement. The confidential settlement agreement requires certain
events to occur within 45 days and 60 days and, accordingly, the court has entered a 65-day dismissal nisi. Unless a party moves to reopen
within the 65-day period, the action will be dismissed with prejudice.
On June 7, 2023, Weird Science
LLC (“Weird Science”), Wittekind, the William Anderson Wittekind 2020 Annuity Trust, the William Anderson 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 and the court held a hearing on November 15, 2024. At the hearing, the court dismissed (1) all
claims brought on behalf of Wittekind and the Trusts, (2) the fraudulent concealment claim against the Company and others (without prejudice),
and (3) the breach of contract claim against the Company related to a registration statement that was not filed in 2023. At the hearing,
the court also found that punitive damages were not available to Plaintiffs. The court took the remaining issues briefed on the Company’s
motion to dismiss under advisement. On February 26, 2025, the court ruled on the balance of the claims against the Company and (1) denied
the Company’s motion to dismiss Weird Science’s breach of contract claims related to registration statements filed in 2020
and 2022; (2) dismissed the fraudulent inducement claim as time barred; and (3) dismissed the declaratory judgment claim. The Company
denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and remaining claims and intends to vigorously defend against these 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 19, 2024, Weird Science
and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a letter demanding it take corrective actions with respect to twenty-one issues identified therein.
On February 27, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a supplemental letter that expanded their demand for corrective
actions to twenty-six issues. In response to these demand letters, the Board of Directors initially formed a Special Committee (“Special
Committee”) of independent directors on February 29, 2024. The Special Committee retained Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP
as its counsel to investigate the issues identified in the demand letters. The Special Committee’s investigation is ongoing.
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, in connection with, inter alia , Weird Science
and Wittekind’s demand for corrective action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 21, 2024. The First Amended 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. The Derivative Complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant. On July
19, 2024, certain of the director defendants, who had agreed to waive service of the summons and Derivative Complaint, filed a motion
to dismiss the Derivative Complaint on a variety of procedural and substantive grounds. A hearing on the motion dismiss was held on October
3, 2024 and the court subsequently took the motion under submission. On October 22, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of certain subsequent
events that they allege relate to their pending motion to dismiss. On October 29, 2024, the court granted the director defendants’
motion to dismiss and dismissed the Derivative Complaint without prejudice, but also without leave to amend.
19
On November 27, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind filed
a notice of appeal of the court’s decision granting the director defendants’ motion to dismiss. The appeal remains pending.
On June 21, 2024, the Company
filed suit against Weird Science, Wittekind, and certain trusts in connection with the February 16, 2018 merger involving the Company
and two companies closely associated with Gumrukcu. In the complaint, the Company alleges that Gumrukcu and others deliberately and fraudulently
concealed a murder-for-hire scheme from the Company in order to induce the Company to enter into the merger agreement, which resulted
in the defendants receiving shares and compensation. The Company asserts claims for fraudulent concealment, equitable fraud, unjust enrichment,
and civil conspiracy and seeks, inter alia , equitable relief, including, but not limited to, return to the Company any shares
received in connection with the merger, and damages. On October 1, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint and a hearing
has been scheduled for June 25, 2025.
Equity Contingencies
Between February 24, 2025 and
March 25, 2025, the Company received gross proceeds of $ 3,000,000 from
an investor participating in the equity offering of up to $15,000,000 made
to a group of investors whereby each investor is to receive one Common Stock and one Warrant for every dollar invested. As of March 31,
2025, the equity offering had not yet closed. Pursuant to the terms of the offering, the investors retain the right to require the return
of their funds in the event the offering does not close.
Because the closing of the offering has not occurred yet as of March 31, 2025,
and the return of proceeds remains within the control of the investor, the Company has classified the $ 3,000,000 as a liability on its
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. The Company will reassess the classification of this amount in future periods
based on the status of the offering and any changes to the related rights or obligations.
NOTE 8 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of March 31, 2025, the Company
has accrued $ 384,949 of compensation related expenses for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Mark Dybul, related to budget
constraints.
On August 23, 2024, Avram Miller,
a former member of the Board of Directors, forfeited 833,333 shares of Common Stock from the original 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
for advisory services originally granted to him on October 11, 2023. As consideration for such forfeiture, the Company granted to Mr.
Miller, an option to purchase 978,261 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a per-share exercise price of $ 0.69 . The Company determined
that this transaction represented a modification of the original award. The Company measured the fair value of the options issued as compared
to the fair value of the original issuance and determined that there was no incremental compensation to recognize as the fair value of
the options was less than the fair value of the Common Stock. Therefore, the Company will recognize the remaining fair value of the original
award over the remaining vesting period, which is one year. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 847,082 related
to the vesting of the stocks options during the period ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $ 497,761 of unrecognized
compensation cost related to the options which vest at August 23, 2025.
NOTE 9 — SEGMENT REPORTING
For the period ending March 31,
2025, the Company had two reportable segments. These segments have different strategic and economic goals and are managed separately because
they require different technology and marketing strategies.
Reportable Segment
Description
RENB (United States)
Developing new immunotherapies to combat cancer
RENC (Netherlands)
Developing a predicative artificial intelligence based diagnostic methodology for the use of earlier cancer detection
The Company’s
chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker and reviews the internal management reports for each segment at least quarterly.
During the period ending March 31, 2025, there were no significant inter-company revenues or expenses. The chief operating decision maker
assesses performance for each segment and decides how to allocate resources based on segment operating losses that also is reported on

NOTE 10 — ACQUISITION
On September
28, 2023, the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with GEDi Cube Intl Ltd.,
a private company formed under the laws of England and Wales (“ GEDi Cube ”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests
of GEDi Cube from its equity holders (the “ Sellers ”). On September 28, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company,
and the board of managers of GEDi Cube unanimously approved the Purchase Agreement and on January 25, 2024, the shareholders of the Company
approved the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On February 13, 2024 (the “Closing Date”),
the Company consummated the 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.
21
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 were initially recognized provisionally in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at their estimated
fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values as of the acquisition date are based on information that existed as of the acquisition
date. The Company completed its accounting for this acquisition during the period ended June 30, 2024. As a result of the completion of
the Company’s analysis, the amount of provisional in-process research and development was determined to have a value of nil. Accordingly,
the amount of goodwill recognized was increased to include the previously recognized provisional amount of in-process research and development.
There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a result of this change to the provisional allocation.

Our Business
Renovaro
Inc. operates through two subsidiaries, Renovaro Biosciences and Renovaro Cube. Renovaro Cube refers to Renovaro Cube Intl. Ltd. (formerly
known as GediCube Intl. Ltd.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries GediCube, B.V. and Grace Systems B.V., which were acquired on February
13, 2024.
Renovaro Biosciences Overview
Renovaro
Biosciences is a biotechnology company intending, if the necessary funding is obtained, to develop advanced allogeneic cell and gene therapies
to promote stronger immune system responses potentially for long-term or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers,
and potentially to treat or cure serious infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections. As a result of our
acquisition of GEDi Cube Intl Ltd. on February 13, 2024, we have shifted the Company’s primary focus and resources to the development
of the Renovaro Cube technologies.
Therapeutic Technologies
Renovaro Biosciences aims to train
the immune system to allow a person to better fight diseases through allogeneic cell and/or gene therapy. Our vision is for a world with
healthy longevity, and free from toxic chemotherapy, for those with cancer and other serious diseases. Renovaro Biosciences will seek
to leverage general principles and advances in the knowledge of the immune response to engineer cells with enhanced attributes to promote
the recognition and elimination of disease cells.
Allogeneic Cell Therapy
The strategic benefit of the allogeneic
cell therapy technologies is to potentially allow for the manufacture of large, “off-the-shelf” banks of therapeutic cells
that are readily available on demand by healthcare professionals, to potentially decrease the time between diagnosis and treatment.
In certain treatments (e.g., HIV
and cancer), cells taken from healthy donors are engineered to introduce signaling molecules that are designed to enhance the ability
of specific immune cells to recognize diseased cells, and to help recruit other cells that will destroy cancer or virus infected cells.
24
Gene Therapy
Renovaro Biosciences may also seek
to explore various approaches for gene therapy design elements to potentially eliminate virus-infected or cancer cells by the modulation
of the patient’s immune system. Upon injecting into the patients, these genetically engineered allogeneic cells have little to no
risk of passing those modifications to the patient since they are terminally differentiated with locked functionality to activate the
host immune system. Gene modified allogeneic cells are expected to be rejected naturally once they activate the patient’s immune
system therefore will have a very short survival time.
Renovaro Biosciences Focus Areas:
Oncology:
RENB-DC11: Genetically modified
Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Product for Long-term Remission of Solid Tumors; specifically Pancreatic tumors
Allogeneic Cell Therapy Platform
– Completed pre-IND, IND-enabling phase.
Based
on learnings from our internal research, literature reviews of ongoing clinical development for solid tumors, and recent advances in immune
modulation, we have designed an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to induce life-long remission
from some of the deadliest solid tumors such as pancreatic, liver, triple negative breast and head & neck cancers.
The platform
may one day enable broad immune enhancements that are combined with cancer specific antigens that could be applicable to a wide range
of solid tumors. This approach allows us to quickly adapt our approach to any patient solid tumor using the same banked allogenic drug
substance.
RENB-DC20: Genetically modified Allogeneic Dendritic
Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Treatment Product for Long-term Remission of Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
is a subtype of breast cancer that is negative for estrogens receptor (ER) negative, progesterone receptor (PR) negative and human epidermal
growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is characterized by its unique molecular profile, aggressive nature, and distinct metastatic patterns
that lack targeted therapies. TNBC is well known for its aggressive behavior and is characterized by onset at a younger age, high mean
tumor size, and higher-grade tumors.
Based upon our internal research,
literature reviews of ongoing clinical development for solid tumors, and recent advances in immune modulation, we believe we may have
the ability to design an innovative therapeutic vaccination platform that could potentially be used to treat some of the deadliest and
hard-to-treat solid tumors that include triple negative breast cancer.
Infectious Diseases:
RENB-HV12: Genetically Modified
Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Therapeutic Vaccine as Potential Treatment Product for Long-term Remission of HIV; A Chronic Infectious Disease
The oncology therapeutic vaccine
technology could potentially be adapted to target infectious disease antigens and be a viable therapeutic approach in difficult to treat
chronic infectious diseases. As described above, the engineered allogenic dendritic cell drug substance is thought to be able to be loaded
with various cancer antigens for specific solid tumors but could or may be loaded with infectious disease antigens to elicit a more robust
immune response to viruses and other difficult to treat infections.

Renovaro Cube Overview
Renovaro Cube is an AI-driven healthcare
technology company focusing on the earliest possible detection of cancer and its recurrence. Renovaro Cube has developed a proprietary
AI platform that analyzes genetics using Explainable AI (as defined below) to provide earlier and more accurate cancer diagnosis. This
platform uses a multi-omics approach to search for individual biomarkers that are present even in asymptomatic patients. This approach
is combined with differential molecular capabilities that are designed to identify, differentiate and pinpoint the exact source. Renovaro
Cube’s process also involves the mining of biomarker panels, which are integrated into a machine learning library referred to as
“RenovaroCube” to further enhance diagnosis.
Renovaro Cube also aims to utilize
its proprietary AI platform in the development of commercial products to support clinical, research and pharmaceutical organizations that
are trying to improve patient care through precision diagnosis, prediction of success of therapy, new drug discovery, treatment protocols
or clinical trials. Specifically, Renovaro Cube is focused on developing products and services aimed at (i) early cancer characterization,
(ii) personalized treatment selection, (iii) prediction and tracking response to therapies, (iv) recurrence detection and efficacy monitoring,
and (v) ultimately, drug discovery.
Renovaro Cube was initially incorporated
as Grace Systems B.V. (“Grace Systems”) in 2013 under the laws of the Netherlands to develop unique data mining algorithms
to enable banking, finance and government entities to extract business insights from data. Grace Systems began applying its algorithms
to biological data in 2018 to uncover cancer-associated patterns. Beginning in 2018, Grace Systems pivoted its platform to focus only
on healthcare. Renovaro Cube has focused on developing its AI technology for early cancer detection.
Renovaro Cube has now focused on
commercialization of its AI technology. Renovaro Cube believes that it has developed a unique approach to the early detection and diagnosis
of cancer and its recurrence and, in time, other rare diseases through the systematic analysis of data using AI technologies, data mining
procedures and algorithms for health technology.
Renovaro Cube’s technology
has been trained on complex heterogeneous cancer data and appears to find patterns associated with cancer in public and private data resources.
With the help of Renovaro Cube’s algorithms, discovered patterns may be translated into biomarkers that can be used in a clinical
setting to target various aspects of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Renovaro Cube’s Strategy
Renovaro Cube’s product development
focuses on four core areas:
●
Early Detection. Multi-cancer early detection (“MCED”) blood tests are advanced diagnostic tools that analyze cell-derived molecules present in the bloodstream. These tests specifically look for abnormal genetic, epigenetic or proteomic patterns of these cell-derived molecules, which can indicate the presence of cancer cells. By examining the molecules shed from various cells, including cancer cells, MCED tests aim to detect cancer at an early stage. This approach holds promise for improving cancer detection and potentially saving lives.
●
Recurrence of cancer . A recurrence refers to the return of cancer after a period of remission. A cancer recurrence happens because, in spite of the efforts to kill the cancer, some cells may remain, which grow and eventually cause symptoms. In rare instances, a patient may develop a new cancer that’s completely unrelated to the originally diagnosed cancer, which is referred to as a second primary cancer. An early warning system could help to identify a recurrence as early as possible, thereby helping to accelerate any treatment and diagnosis. The different types of recurrence include:
26
o
Local recurrence, meaning that the cancer has returned in the same place it first started;
o
Regional recurrence , meaning that the cancer has returned to the lymph nodes near the place it first started; and
o
Distant recurrence , meaning the cancer has returned in another part of the body.
●
Response to treatment. At Renovaro Cube we aim to develop a new array of diagnostic products that can accurately identify patients that are going to respond or fail to a certain drug. In highly toxic therapies it will not only increase survival but will also reduce unnecessary exposure to chemotherapy. Furthermore, the costs for cancer drugs are usually very high. Providing the right therapy to the right patient will therefore significantly reduce the costs of medicine in cancer.
●
Clinical trials . Clinical trials involve a type of research that studies new tests and treatments and evaluates their effects on human health outcomes. People volunteer to take part in clinical trials to test medical interventions including drugs, cells and other biological products, surgical procedures, radiological procedures, devices, behavioral treatments and preventive care. Clinical trials are carefully designed, reviewed and completed, and need to be approved before they can start.
In response to these four core
areas, the key components of Renovaro Cube’s product development are to build a software and hardware platform that:
●
Uses data science to develop novel insights into the characterization of diseases such as cancer. Renovaro Cube intends to apply its proprietary technology to biological data from multiple sources to enable the typification (or classification) of disease entities and sub-entities to provide insights about the nature and behavior of diseases to payers, providers, pharmaceutical companies and patients.
●
Enables more accurate diagnosis and earlier detection of cancer and other diseases with the goal of maximizing outcomes and minimizing the costs of treatment. Renovaro Cube intends to develop a system to understand the smallest fragments of cancer in the blood of the patient. Presently, Renovaro Cube is developing a product to analyze results from liquid biopsy run through an Oxford Nanopore Sequencer. We expect the Renovaro Cube product will subsequently identify, train and validate explainable biomarkers, panels and models on different molecular layers. Multiple models will be individually trained for optimal stratification through the entire health journey, ensuring the right accuracy for a therapeutic decision in every stage. Renovaro Cube will integrate different modalities and molecular data sources into a differential diagnostic report. Diagnostics and prognosis will be explainable with quality control reports and biomarker insights for different disciplines ensuring maximum trust and insight in medical decision making.
●
Assists in clinical trials with patient cohort selection and response tracking, to be used by companies like Renovaro Biosciences in their patient cohort selection for their clinical trials, by looking at which patients are reacting positively, negatively and have no reaction. This data becomes more important through the progression of the different phases of drug development, as more and more patients are added. Renovaro Cube will provide multi-omic data analysis, looking for specific changes in the patients that might indicate a change in their molecular make-up. This can then be used for the next phase of a clinical trial to look for the specific molecular data that has showed a positive reaction in the previous phase. It also provides insights for more effective response tracking, which Renovaro Cube believes is important to the providers of care as well as the development and evaluation of new pharmaceuticals and immune therapies in clinical trials. Patient response to treatment can be used to focus the target audience for drugs in development and in subsequent clinical practice. As Renovaro Cube collects more data, longitudinal about treatment and response, it will have the ability to train prognostic models to give an insight in disease progression and treatment response, both critical for enrolling in clinical trials and eventually every treatment. Because Renovaro Cube consists of many independently trained and validated models, it will have the ability to assist in virtually every therapeutic decision, for different subtypes and groups (stratifications). The multi-omics and multi-modal pipelines could allow the use of multiple combinations of tissue samples and diagnostic platforms. The detailed diagnostic reports will allow and support insights for multiple disciplines such as cancer biology, genomics and pathology to look at underpinning biomarkers, pathways and clinical annotations.
27
●
Provides insight into patients who have had cancer previously. These insights will provide for more effective recurrence monitoring, which Renovaro Cube believes is important to the providers of care and patients during follow-up monitoring of remissions. Renovaro Cube anticipates that payers want to detect and re-treat recurrences at the earliest possible stage to maximize patients’ outcomes in terms of time and cost and that, similarly, patients with a recurrence are keen to re-engage with effective treatment at the earliest opportunity. A key aspect of this will be taking blood from the patients, sequencing this blood and running it through the Renovaro Cube platform which will identify if the patient has any indication of the recurrence of the same or a new cancer. For recurrence monitoring, Renovaro Cube will focus on a highly sensitive combination of lab and information technology. Lab protocols, sequence post processing and machine learning will all be designed, trained and validated to get the best signal with the highest sensitivity to catch early signals of recurrence. This will be done on a regular basis allowing surveillance analysis over time.
●
Includes biomarker panels that will be extended to include as many layers of genetic information (multi-omics) as possible including mutation, gene expression, methylation status, fragmentomics, nucleosome mapping, collectively named multi-omics, with the goal to reach the highest accuracy possible, both in terms of sensitivity and specificity of each individual biomarker panel. This provides a non-invasive alternative for the current complex, expensive and cumbersome procedures.
●
Create value through advancing more sophisticated typification of diseases in an effort to address some of the pressing problems faced by modern healthcare, including healthcare costs, an aging population and developments in medical technology that produce a stream of increasingly sophisticated treatments requiring more precise targeting.
One additional key focus of Renovaro
Cube is its multi-modal, data analysis. Multi-modal data encompasses the whole aspect of data from a patient perspective, whether genomics,
imaging, phenotypic or even wearable data, which can be cross analyzed to produce data that could not be previously produced. Renovaro
Cube intends to use multi-modal data to bring new insights to the clinical and research teams trying to understand what to do next with
the patient.
Renovaro Cube’s Technology
and Techniques
Renovaro Cube is dedicated to the
development of early cancer detection blood tests and expects to develop partnerships with third-party laboratories across the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands and the rest of Europe and will also expand to the United States. Renovaro Cube is focused on developing diagnostic
tests and test kits that would analyze samples derived from non-invasive liquid biopsy samples and intends to perform these tests from
Renovaro’s dedicated fully certified service laboratory and engage third-party laboratories to perform these tests for end-users.
For this purpose, Renovaro Cube
has developed an AI platform that aims to leverage expertise in both biological and computational sciences and to go beyond traditional
tumor signals by detecting the body’s early warning signs of cancer. Renovaro Cube’s goal is to provide accurate and reliable
tests that can aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Renovaro Cube’s AI technology is created to detect a wide range
of biological signs to enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of early cancer detection and, thereby, enable earlier intervention and potentially
improved patient outcomes.
Renovaro Cube’s AI technology
aims to address three critical facets of medical needs within the domain of cancer diagnosis (as illustrated below):
●
type-specific cancer detection;
●
pan-cancer detection; and
●
patient stratification.
28
Moreover, the versatility of Renovaro
Cube’s AI technology extends to encompass the realm of rare cancers, including cases such as cancer of unknown primary.
Leveraging DNA methylation data,
Renovaro Cube has identified and validated biomarker panels tailored for the detection of a wide range of cancers, including bladder,
breast, colon, prostate, thyroid, head and neck, liver, kidney and lung cancer.
The foundational architecture of
Renovaro Cube’s AI technology is engineered to facilitate comprehensive pan-cancer analysis through its extensive record of informative
biomarkers discovered across a diverse array of cancer types. This comprehensive repository empowers Renovaro Cube’s AI technology
to swiftly cross-reference biomarkers and explore molecular commonalities and distinctions that span multiple tumor categories.
For example, the capabilities of
Renovaro Cube’s AI technology have unearthed biomarkers capable of pinpointing a specific subgroup of thyroid cancer patients characterized
by a distinct genomic alteration, the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (“NTRK”) gene fusion. Identification of these
NTRK-positive patients provides an actionable therapeutic target.
Uses of Renovaro Cube’s AI Technology
Renovaro Cube has developed its AI platform to support:
●
AI-assisted patient diagnostics;
●
multi-omic data analysis;
●
genome-wide or targeted analysis;
●
pan-cancer analysis;
●
different technology platforms (sequence or array);
●
tracking of each sample;
●
AI-guided biomarker discovery for single or multiple cancer types; and
●
logs of analysis steps and outcomes (data preparation, discovery, validation).
Renovaro Cube’s AI platform
is an enterprise software platform that is distinguished from its competitors’ technology by its core attributes encompassing AI-guided
analysis and meticulous record-keeping of data handling procedures within audit trails, logs, and data discoveries. Renovaro Cube designed
this technology to support and validate every phase of the process, from the initial handling of raw data to the creation of essential
biomarker panels. Renovaro Cube’s AI platform also facilitates the integration of data originating from diverse sources, including
public databases and collaborative partnership data.
Illustrated below is the three-phase
workflow behind Renovaro Cube’s AI platform for biomarker discovery using DNA methylation data. This workflow commences with the
identification of pertinent single- and multi-omic data best suited to address the specific inquiries of Renovaro Cube’s clients,
and the subsequent stages involve the meticulous pre-processing and loading of this data into the platform. This process culminates in
the availability of a dashboard offering the client insights into the data’s characteristics, such as data quality, the technology
employed, and associated metadata.
●
Phase I of the workflow behind Renovaro Cube’s AI platform primarily centers on the pivotal process of biomarker discovery. This intricate procedure unfolds through the application of data mining algorithms and statistical methodologies integrated into the AI platform. The paramount objective of Phase I is to reduce the plethora of genomic features displaying variations across samples, which is accomplished by systematically eliminating extraneous or inconsequential features while preserving those features that exhibit the greatest potential for accurately detecting cancer.
29
●
Phase II of the workflow builds upon the foundation of selected biomarkers by focusing on understanding the dynamic interplay among these chosen biomarkers, culminating in the creation of composite panels. The goal of Phase II is to pinpoint biomarker combinations that not only demonstrate robustness in detecting cancer but also maintain their efficacy across diverse contexts. Renovaro Cube believes that its AI algorithms are adept at uncovering multiple combinations across a spectrum of panels, which is supported by Renovaro Cube’s AI-guided panel mining, a proprietary combinatorial optimization technique used by Renovaro Cube’s AI technology. This approach, coupled with the capacity to explore numerous panels, significantly enhances the likelihood of discovering panels that align with specific metric criteria, such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and recall and allows for tailoring criteria to align with clients’ unique needs, such as the number of biomarkers included per panel, or the inclusion of biomarkers associated with the expression of specific genes. The performance of the top-tier panels is further fine-tuned through the application of machine learning models. Subsequently, the efficacy of these biomarker panels in detecting cancer is validated through independent data sets.
●
Phase III of the workflow involves Renovaro Cube’s collaboration with its clinical partners to validate the performance of the biomarker panels. Through this collaboration, Renovaro Cube can confirm the utility and accuracy of its biomarker panels in real-world clinical contexts.
AI-Assisted Diagnostics
The process of biomarker discovery
facilitated by Renovaro Cube’s AI technology has yielded a set of data that enables scrutiny of the genomic distinctions and commonalities
inherent in diverse cancer types. This data set can support the diagnosis of cancers when their type or origin remains unidentified.
In addition to this role in biomarker
discovery and the development of diagnostic tests, Renovaro Cube’s AI technology also integrates AI-guided molecular profiling of
patient samples and furnishes diagnostic patient reports. These diagnostic reports reflect the outcomes of molecular profiling, coupled
with interpretations provided by Renovaro Cube’s team, to facilitate the process of cancer diagnostics by a qualified healthcare
provider, who can consider these reports in the context of a patient’s medical history, clinical signs, and symptoms, among other
factors.
Quality Control Process
Renovaro Cube undertakes post-processing
of data generated from sequence and arrays to ensure accurate and meaningful results. These post-processing steps for omic data include:
1.
Quality Control : Quality control is performed to assess the overall data quality and to identify any technical issues or anomalies.
2.
Normalization : arrays can introduce various sources of technical variation, such as batch effects, intensity variations, and probe-specific biases.
3.
Quality Filtering : After genotype calling, additional quality filtering may be performed to remove low-quality SNPs based on criteria like call rates, minor allele frequency, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium p-values, and linkage disequilibrium.
Other post-processing steps may
include genotype calling, population stratification and association analysis. Specific post-processing steps may vary depending on the
type of array used, the study design, and the analytical goals.
Planning for Commercialization
Partnerships in Development
To enhance multi-omic and multi-modal
capacity, and to work to validate those capabilities with human samples including liquid-biopsy-based tests/test kits, Renovaro Cube is
actively pursuing relationships with leading academic cancer centers, pathology and imagery centers in Europe, the USA and the Middle
East. In certain cases, scopes of work are in process. This is a very attractive model for partners to be involved with Renovaro Cube
to perform multi-omics genetic analysis using liquid biopsies.
30
Resources
Renovaro Cube intends to hire additional
staff to increase the speed and velocity of its organization, including the development of the AI platform and the opportunities to deploy
the AI platform for research perspective and ultimately for clinical practice and into clinical trials.
In addition, Renovaro Cube intends
to build out its infrastructure by leasing space for storage, networking and hosting facilities.
Target Market
Renovaro Cube’s intended
customers will be hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, research centers, physicians and
individual patients.
Renovaro Cube aims to utilize its
AI technology to commercialize products and test kits for healthcare providers, hospitals, clinics and doctors that will expedite diagnosis
and the selection of appropriate treatment for various types of cancer. Renovaro Cube intends to differentiate its products based on the
following factors:
●
Proprietary and unique panel mining algorithms to create multiple biomarker stratifications per cancer;
●
Explainable AI, offering traceability between the prediction and the exact biomarkers, panels and genes;
●
Differential diagnosis, inclusion and exclusion of cancer types based on facts; and
●
Precision diagnosis, with a high accuracy percentage with machine-learning tuning.
The multi-omic design of Renovaro
Cube’s AI platform enables the use of different molecular layers, such as epigenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, together
with genomics and clinical data.
Panel Mining
The unique panel mining technique
in Renovaro Cube’s technology repeatedly investigates genes to identify relevant biomarkers. The proprietary technique in Renovaro
Cube’s technology not only searches for individual biomarkers, but also integrates validated panels for different cancer types into
the “RenovaroCube” machine learning library. This process enables precision diagnosis, by including one cancer and excluding
others based on statistically, scientifically and clinically validated machine-learning panels.
Panel mining is designed to combine
biomarkers into panels in such a way that the final panel meets:
●
performance metric criteria;
●
technical criteria, such as a minimum or maximum number of biomarkers for the selected assay;
●
biological criteria, non-annotated genes inclusion; and
●
stratification criteria.
Explainable AI
The term “Explainable AI”
refers to the ability of an AI system or model to provide human-understandable explanations for its decision-making process or predictions.
This feature aims to bridge the gap between the “black box” nature of many AI algorithms and the need for transparency, interpretability,
and accountability in AI applications.
31
In traditional machine learning
approaches, such as deep neural networks, the internal workings of the model can be complex and difficult to interpret. This lack of interpretability
poses challenges in critical domains where decisions have significant implications, such as healthcare.
Renovaro Cube believes that Explainable
AI is crucial for ensuring transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI systems. Renovaro Cube’s AI platform includes Explainable
AI by design. All data points, calculations and results are traceable, and all calculations are verifiable and reproducible with the same
result.
Disease prognosis is one of the
diagnostic capabilities of the Explainable AI feature of Renovaro Cube’s technology. Disease prognosis gives more insight for a
specific patient that empowers healthcare providers, patients, and their families to make well-informed decisions about treatment, care,
and future planning, thereby enhancing patient-centered care, optimizing resource utilization, and contributing to improved patient outcomes
and quality of life.
Differential Diagnosis
Renovaro Cube’s AI platform
offers differential diagnosis by design due to its approach with a multitude of models for different diseases and the ability to include
and exclude diseases.
Diseases like cancer are very homogenous,
meaning that markers like TP53 or BRCA are expressed with multiple cancers. To address this homogeneity, differential diagnosis distinguishes
between two or more conditions or diseases that share similar signs, symptoms or characteristics. The goal of differential diagnosis is
to consider and evaluate all possible diagnoses for the patient’s symptoms to determine the most likely cause. Differential diagnosis
therefore aims to identify the underlying condition accurately and guide appropriate treatment and management strategies.
Corporate History
We were incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware on January 18, 2011, under the name Putnam Hills Corp. and in 2014 we merged with and changed our name to
DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc. In 2018, we acquired Enochian Biopharma and changed our name to Enochian BioSciences Inc. In August 2023, the
Company changed its corporate name to Renovaro Biosciences Inc. On February 13, 2024, the Company changed its corporate name to Renovaro
Inc. On February 13, 2024, Renovaro Inc. acquired Renovaro Cube Intl Ltd and its subsidiaries, in which Renovaro Cube became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Renovaro Inc.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
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 income (loss) of $189,176 and $(51,275,253) for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $923,002 and an accumulated deficit of
$383,730,334 and a working capital deficit of $25,173,586. 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 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 the development and validation of its AI-driven cancer diagnostics
platform. The Company has tailored its workforce to focus on these activities. In addition, the Company intends 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.
32
Funding that we may receive during
the fiscal year 2025 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.

34
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically satisfied
our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from stockholders, the sale of our Common Stock and warrants, and debt financing.
We have never generated any sales revenue to support our operations, and we expect this to continue until our therapies or products are
approved for marketing in the United States and/or Europe. Even if we are successful in having our therapies or products approved for
sale in the United States and/or Europe, we cannot guarantee that a market for the therapies or products will develop. We may never be
profitable.
As noted above under the heading
“Going Concern and Management’s Plans,” through March 31, 2025, we have incurred substantial losses. We will need additional
funds both in the next twelve months and beyond for (a) research and development, (b) increases in personnel, (c) the purchase of equipment,
and investment in the development and validation of our technology. The availability of any required additional funding cannot be assured.
In addition, an adverse outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings in which we are currently involved or in the future may be involved
could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. We may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales
of our equity or debt securities. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital
when needed could materially adversely affect our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company
had $923,002 in cash and working capital deficit of $25,173,586 as compared to $220,467 in cash and working capital deficit of $28,312,274
as of June 30, 2024, an increase of 319% and decrease of 22%, respectively.
Assets
Total assets at March 31, 2025,
were $117,726,120 compared to $163,129,450 as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in assets is primarily due to goodwill impairment of $47,614,729
in the current period.
Liabilities
Total liabilities at March 31, 2025, were $29,339,269 compared to $31,152,306
as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily related to the decrease of $10,990,000 in contingent consideration
liability, partially offset by an increases of $3,534,901 in notes payable – related parties, net, $2,277,375 in accounts payable
and $3,000,000 in Stock subscription payable.

Cash Flows
The decrease in our cash used in
operating activities is primarily related to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The change is primarily driven by our
net loss offset by significant non-cash charges such as stock based compensation, impairments and change in fair value of contingent consideration.
Additionally, our operating cash flow was positively impacted by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, primarily other receivables,
prepaid expenses and accounts payable.
35
Cash used in investing activities
during the period related to the investment in equity securities of $1,464,389. Cash used in investing activities in the prior period primarily
related to the issuance of notes receivable prior to the acquisition of Renovaro Cube totaling $1,206,806.
Cash provided by financing activities
during the period primarily related to net proceeds of $3,527,822 from issuance of notes payable and $5,376,181 from private placements
that were partially offset by $699,588 in repayment of a finance agreement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes
in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material
to investors.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting
Estimates
The methods, estimates, and judgments
that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some
of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding
matters that are inherently uncertain.
For a summary of our accounting
policies, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company”
as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is 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 (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information
is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.
The Certifying Officers are responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company and used the “Internal Control
over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct
an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation,
the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that
the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The deficiency is attributed
to the Company not having adequate resources to address complex accounting matters. This control deficiency will be monitored, and attention
will be given to this matter as we grow.
The Certifying Officers based their
conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified a material weakness in controls over financial reporting, detailed above. We expect
to be deficient in our disclosure controls and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting
staff.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected or are reasonably
likely to materially affect our internal controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Securities Class Action Litigation.
On July 26, 2022 and July 28, 2022, securities class action complaints (the former, the “Chow Action” and the latter, the
“Manici Action”) and together, the “Securities Class Action Litigation”) were filed by purported stockholders
of the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s
current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions
of material fact in connection with the Company’s relationship with Serhat Gümrükcü and its commercial prospects.
The complaints seek unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs. On November 22, 2022, the Manici Action was voluntarily dismissed
without prejudice, but the Chow action remains pending. On October 22, 2023, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff in the Chow Action.
The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on December 15, 2023. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on March
15, 2024. The Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss on June 28, 2024. A mediation was held on September 17, 2024, after which
the parties signed a stipulation of settlement, dated November 8, 2024. The plaintiff filed their motion for preliminary approval of the
settlement on December 9, 2024. On December 18, 2024, the Company filed a notice of non-opposition to the motion for preliminary approval
of the settlement. On January 7, 2025, the Court took the plaintiff’s motion for preliminary approval of the settlement under consideration
without oral argument.
Federal Derivative
Litigation. On September 22, 2022, Samuel E. Koenig filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court
for the Central District of California (the “Koenig Matter”). On January 19, 2023, John Solak filed a substantially
similar shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Solak
Matter”). Both derivative actions recite similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation.
The actions, filed on behalf of the Company, name Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s former directors
as defendants. The actions also name the Company as a nominal defendant. The actions allege violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and also set out claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification,
aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiffs do not quantify any alleged injury, but seek damages, disgorgement,
restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 24, 2023, the United States District Court for the Central District of
California stayed the Koenig Matter pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities
Class Action Litigation. On April 4, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware stayed the Solak Matter
pending resolution of the defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On June 28,
2024, the United States District Court for the Central District of California denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the
Securities Class Action Litigation. The Koenig Matter is currently stayed and the parties’ deadline to file a joint status
report is July 11, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the court stayed the Solak Matter for ninety (90) days and the deadline for the parties
to file a joint status report or further stay of the action is July 29, 2025. The defendants have not yet responded to the Koenig or
Solak complaints. The Company intends to contest these matters but expresses no opinion as to the likelihood of favorable outcomes.
Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss, including a possible range of losses, if any, arising from this matter
as of the reporting date.
State Derivative Litigation.
On October 20, 2022, Susan Midler filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, reciting
similar underlying facts as those alleged in the Securities Class Action Litigation (the “Midler Matter”). The action, filed
on behalf of the Company, names Serhat Gümrükcü and certain of the Company’s current and former directors as defendants.
The action also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The action sets out claims for breaches of fiduciary duty, contribution and
indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. Plaintiff does not quantify any alleged injury, but seeks damages, disgorgement,
restitution, and other costs and expenses. On January 20, 2023, the Court stayed the Midler matter pending resolution of the defendants’
anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Class Action Litigation. On June 28, 2024, the United States District Court for the Central
District of California denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action Litigation. On April 29, 2025, the court
stayed the Midler Matter for ninety (90) days. The parties’ deadline to file a joint status report in the Midler action is July
28, 2025. The defendants have not yet responded to the complaint. The Company intends to contest this matter but expresses no opinion
as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome. Management is unable to determine the likelihood of a loss, including a possible range of
losses, if any, arising from this matter as of the reporting date.
37
On October
21, 2022, the Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against Serhat
Gümrükcü, William Anderson Wittekind (“Wittekind”), G Tech Bio, SG & AW Holdings, LLC, and SRI (collectively,
the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges that the Defendants 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 motions.
On December
4, 2023, the Defendants answered the Company’s First Amended Complaint and G Tech and SRI filed a Cross-Complaint. In the Cross-Complaint,
G Tech and SRI seek declaratory and injunctive relief related to certain agreements between G Tech, SRI, and the Company, including, inter
alia , a declaration that the Framework Agreement, effective as of November 15, 2019, the Statement of Work & License Agreement,
effective as of January 31, 2020, and the Statement of Work and License Agreement for Influenza and Coronavirus Indications, effective
as of April 18, 2021, have been terminated and the Company has no rights to any license under such agreements.
Trial
was scheduled to begin on March 3, 2025. On November 14, 2024, the court vacated the March 3, 2025 trial date and set a trial setting
conference for May 1, 2025. At the May 1, 2025 trial setting conference, the court reset the trial to begin on November 30, 2026. Discovery
remains ongoing. The Company denies the allegations in Defendants’ cross claims and intends to vigorously defend against them while
pursuing its claims against the Defendants.
On March
1, 2021, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Robert Wolfe and his company, Crossfield, Inc., filed a Complaint in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont against the Company, Renovaro Biosciences Denmark ApS, and certain directors and officers.
In the Complaint, Mr. Wolfe and Crossfield, Inc. asserted claims for abuse of process and malicious prosecution, alleging, inter alia,
that the Company lacked probable cause to file and prosecute an earlier action, and sought millions of dollars of compensatory damages,
as well as punitive damages. The allegations in the Complaint relate to an earlier action filed by the Company and Renovaro Biosciences
Denmark ApS in the Vermont Superior Court, Orange Civil Division. On March 3, 2022, the court partially granted the Company’s motion
to dismiss, dismissing the abuse of process claim against all defendants and all claims against Mark Dybul and Henrik Grønfeldt-Sørensen,
the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former member of the Board of Directors, respectively. On November 29, 2022, the
Company filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to the sole remaining claim of malicious prosecution. On August 24, 2023, the
court denied the motion for summary judgment.
On or
about April 16, 2025, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement. The confidential settlement agreement requires certain
events to occur within 45 days and 60 days and, accordingly, the court has entered a 65-day dismissal nisi. Unless a party moves to reopen
within the 65-day period, the action will be dismissed with prejudice.
On June 7, 2023, Weird Science
LLC (“Weird Science”), Wittekind, the William Anderson Wittekind 2020 Annuity Trust, the William Anderson 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.
38
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 and the court held a hearing on November 15, 2024. At the hearing, the court dismissed (1) all
claims brought on behalf of Wittekind and the Trusts, (2) the fraudulent concealment claim against the Company and others (without prejudice),
and (3) the breach of contract claim against the Company related to a registration statement that was not filed in 2023. At the hearing,
the court also found that punitive damages were not available to Plaintiffs. The court took the remaining issues briefed on the Company’s
motion to dismiss under advisement. On February 26, 2025, the court ruled on the balance of the claims against the Company and (1) denied
the Company’s motion to dismiss Weird Science’s breach of contract claims related to registration statements filed in 2020
and 2022; (2) dismissed the fraudulent inducement claim as time barred; and (3) dismissed the declaratory judgment claim. The Company
denies Plaintiffs’ allegations and remaining claims and intends to vigorously defend against these 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 19, 2024, Weird Science
and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a letter demanding it take corrective actions with respect to twenty-one issues identified therein.
On February 27, 2024, Weird Science and Wittekind sent the Board of Directors a supplemental letter that expanded their demand for corrective
actions to twenty-six issues. In response to these demand letters, the Board of Directors initially formed a Special Committee (“Special
Committee”) of independent directors on February 29, 2024. The Special Committee retained Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP
as its counsel to investigate the issues identified in the demand letters. The Special Committee’s investigation is ongoing.
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, in connection with, inter alia , Weird Science
and Wittekind’s demand for corrective action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on June 21, 2024. The First Amended 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. The Derivative Complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant. On July
19, 2024, certain of the director defendants, who had agreed to waive service of the summons and Derivative Complaint, filed a motion
to dismiss the Derivative Complaint on a variety of procedural and substantive grounds. A hearing on the motion dismiss was held on October
3, 2024 and the court subsequently took the motion under submission. On October 22, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of certain subsequent
events that they allege relate to their pending motion to dismiss. On October 29, 2024, the court granted the director defendants’
motion to dismiss and dismissed the Derivative Complaint without prejudice, but also without leave to amend.
39
On November 27, 2024, Weird Science
and Wittekind filed a notice of appeal of the court’s decision granting the director defendants’ motion to dismiss. The appeal
remains pending.
On June 21, 2024, the Company filed suit against Weird
Science, Wittekind, and certain trusts in connection with the February 16, 2018 merger involving the Company and two companies closely
associated with Gumrukcu. In the complaint, the Company alleges that Gumrukcu and others deliberately and fraudulently concealed a murder-for-hire
scheme from the Company in order to induce the Company to enter into the merger agreement, which resulted in the defendants receiving
shares and compensation. The Company asserts claims for fraudulent concealment, equitable fraud, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy
and seeks, inter alia , equitable relief, including, but not limited to, return to the Company any shares received in connection
with the merger, and damages. On October 1, 2024, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint and a hearing has been scheduled for June
25, 2025.
