MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial

condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and the related notes and the other financial

information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve

risks and uncertainties.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result

of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly those

under “Risk Factors.” Dollars in tabular format are presented in thousands, except per share data, or as otherwise indicated.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking

statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 under Section 27A of the

Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Forward-looking statements

include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions

and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which

may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements

expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could

be forward-looking statements.

You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “can,”

“anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,”

“contemplate,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,”

“point to,” “project,” “predict,” “could,” “intend,” “target,”

“potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future.

There are a number of important factors that could

cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us.

These factors include,

but are not limited to:

our ability to complete one or more strategic transactions that will maximize our assets or otherwise provide value to stockholders;

our ability to raise capital when needed;

our ability to maintain or protect the validity of our patents and other intellectual property;

the factors listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, elsewhere in this report and other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified

in their entirety by this cautionary notice.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak

only as of the date of this report or the date of the document incorporated by reference into this report.

We have no obligation, and

expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, revise or correct any of the forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information,

future events or otherwise.

We have expressed our expectations, beliefs and projections in good faith, and we believe they have a reasonable

However, we cannot assure you that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company

focused on delivering groundbreaking therapies using our lipid nanocrystal (LNC) platform delivery technology (LNC Platform).

Key elements of our strategy now include:

Securing one or more partners to monetize the value of MAT2203 in the short term and raise additional non-dilutive capital through the licensing or sale of our lead LNC Platform product candidate.

A partnership would likely seek to advance MAT2203 into Phase 3 development as quickly as possible, which could position a partner to commercialize MAT2203 upon approval and which could bring additional longer-term value to the Company and its shareholders.

Conserving our cash resources while identifying and evaluating other strategic options for the Company, which could include the in-license of one or more assets or seeking a merger partner for the Company.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and

2024, our net loss was $1,656 and $5,824, respectively.

We have incurred losses for each period from our inception and expect to incur

additional losses for the foreseeable future.

We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity offerings, debt financing,

government or other third-party funding, collaborations and licensing arrangements.

Adequate additional financing may not be available

to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would impact our going concern and would have a

negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy and continue as a going concern.

to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

Financial Operations Overview

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs

incurred for the development of product candidate MAT2203 and advancement of our LNC platform, which include:

the cost of acquiring, developing, and manufacturing pre-clinical and human clinical trial materials;

costs for consultants and contractors associated with Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (CMC), pre-clinical and clinical activities and regulatory operations;

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, including the NIH, that conduct our pre-clinical or clinical trials;

employee-related expenses, including salaries and stock-based compensation expense for those employees involved in the research and development process.

Research and development activities are central to

our business model.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase over time because product candidates in later stages of

clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the

increased size and duration of later-stage human trials.

However, we anticipate that our research and development expenses during 2025

will be lower compared with expenses incurred during 2024 until such time, if at all, as we are able to secure additional funding to support

initiation of our Phase 3 registration trial for MAT2203 and advancement of our LNC platform delivery technology.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three

months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1,861 and $2,456, respectively.

General and administrative expenses consist principally of

salaries and related costs for personnel in executive and finance functions.

Other general and administrative expenses include facility

costs, insurance, investor relations expenses, professional fees for legal, patent review, consulting and accounting/audit services.

anticipate that our general and administrative expenses during 2025 will decrease slightly compared to expenses incurred during 2024 as

a result of cost-cutting measures implemented to conserve cash.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

On February 13, 2025, the Company closed a private

placement investment with certain investors in which the investors received shares of Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase

shares the Company’s common stock.

The warrants were classified as a liability upon issuance with the fair value estimated using

a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Future changes in fair value will be recognized in other (expense)/income, net at each reporting period

until the warrants are either exercised or expired.

A gain of $294 was recognized for the

three months ended March 31, 2025, representing the change in fair value of the warrant liability between the issuance date of February

13, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

in fair value of warrant liability

a series of transactions on February 13, 2025, and April 8, 2025, the Company closed a private placement investment with certain investors

in which the investors received shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase shares the Company’s common stock.

The Warrants were initially classified as a liability upon each issuance date with the fair value estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation

The terms of the Warrants were amended after issuance enabling for reclassification of the Warrants as equity.

Changes in fair

value between the dates of issuance and the date of amendment were recognized in other (expense)/income, net at each reporting period.

loss of $3,161 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing the change in fair value of the warrant liability

between the issuance dates of February 13, 2025 and April 8, 2025 and the amendment date of June 26, 2025.

on sale of assets, net

the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company sold equipment with a net book value of $210.

Other (expense)/income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were ($4) and $78, respectively.

Other (expense)/income, net decreased compared to

the prior period primarily due to recording issuance costs of $148 in connection with the Company’s private placement of Series

C Preferred Stock and warrants.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and

Accounting Estimates

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important

to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex

judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

For a description of our significant accounting policies,

refer to “Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Of these policies, the

following are considered critical to an understanding of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as they require the

application of the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments:

(i) Research and development expenses, (ii) Goodwill and other

intangible assets, and (iii) Warrants.

We account for warrants as either equity-classified

or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance

in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Warrants classified as equity are recorded at

fair value as of the date of issuance on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made.

Warrants that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value

on the date of issuance and are revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any

changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The assessment of

whether the warrants are accounted for as equity-classified or liability-classified instruments is re-evaluated on a periodic basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to “Note 3 – Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently adopted

accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on our financial positions and results of operations.

Current Operating Trends

Our current R&D efforts are focused on advancing

our lead LNC product candidate, MAT2203.

Our R&D expenses consist of fees paid to consultants for work related to clinical trial design

and regulatory activities, fees paid to providers for conducting various clinical studies as well as for the analysis of the results of

such studies, and for other medical research addressing the potential efficacy and safety of our drugs.

We believe that significant investment

in product development is a competitive necessity, and we are seeking a partner to assist us in continuing to make these investments to

be in a position to realize the potential of our product candidates and proprietary technologies.

We expect that most of our R&D expenses in the

near-term, if any, will be incurred in support of MAT2203 and positioning that drug for a partnership with a well-funded and experienced

third party biotech or pharmaceutical company.

shares under the sales agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold

4 shares of its common stock generating net proceeds of $54.

As of June 30, 2025, the Sales Agreement’s available capacity is $44,191.

following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for each of the periods set forth

Six Months Ended June 30,

Cash used in operating activities

Cash provided by investing activities

Cash used in investing activities

Cash provided by financing activities

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,007 and

$5,769 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net losses of $1,656 and $5,824 for the three month periods

ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were partially offset by working capital adjustments due to the timing of receipts and payments

in the ordinary course of business, adjustments for non-cash stock based compensation expense and change in fair value of the warrant liability.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 and

$2,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The decrease of cash provided by investing activities

was due to a $2,000 decrease in maturities of marketable debt securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing

activities was $1,647 and $53 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The increase in cash provided

by financing activities is primarily due to the net proceeds from the sale of our preferred stock of $1,648 during the three months

ended March 31, 2025, compared to net proceeds from the sale of our common stock of $54 under the ATM with BTIG, LLC during the

three months ended March 31, 2024.

Funding Requirements and Other Liquidity Matters

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses

and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:

conduct further preclinical and clinical studies of MAT2203, our lead product candidate, even if such studies are primarily financed with non-dilutive funding from the NIH;

seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;

seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

require the manufacture of larger quantities of product candidates for clinical development and potentially commercialization;

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

hire additional clinical, quality control and scientific personnel;

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and planned future commercialization efforts and personnel and infrastructure necessary to help us comply with our obligations as a public company.

We do not believe that our existing cash and cash

equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures requirements beyond the next twelve months from

the filing date of this Quarterly Report.

As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going

Until such time, if ever, that we can generate revenues

sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of private and public equity offerings,

debt financings, government or other third-party funding, collaborations, and licensing arrangements.

To the extent that we raise additional

capital through the sale of common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders

may be materially diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights

of our common stockholders.

Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations

and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional

debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

Securing additional

financing could require a substantial amount of time and attention from our management and may divert a disproportionate amount of their

attention away from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our management’s ability to secure one or more partners to

monetize the value of MAT2203 or future product candidates.

Moreover, under the terms of a recent financing, we are prohibited, subject

to certain exceptions, from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue, or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares

of common stock or common stock equivalents until November 2025.

If we raise additional funds through

collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish

valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that

may not be favorable to us.

Our financial condition and results of operations

may also be impacted by other factors we may not be able to control, such as global supply chain disruptions, global trade disputes and/or

political instability.

Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial

markets, may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks.

Additionally, rising inflation rates

may affect us by increasing operating expenses, such as employee-related costs and clinical trial expenses, negatively impacting our results

of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and

we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules, such as relationships with unconsolidated entities

or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose

of facilitating financing transactions that are not required to be reflected on our balance sheets.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

cash used in operating activities was $4,028 and $8,875 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

expense and change in fair value of the warrant liability.

cash used in investing activities was $0 and $938 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

of cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $7,938 decrease purchase of marketable securities offset by a $7,000 decrease

in maturities of marketable debt securities.

cash provided by financing activities was $3,269 and $9,242 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

of $9,250 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
