+Added: On July 11, 2024, the Company consummated the
+Added: transaction contemplated by the Inducement Letters upon unanimous written consent of the Board (the “Warrant Inducement”).
+Added: The Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million from the exercise of the Existing PIOs by the holders and the
+Added: sale of the Inducement PIOs, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
+Added: The Company agreed to file a registration statement
+Added: covering the resale of the Inducement PIO Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Inducement PIOs (the “Resale Registration
+Added: Statement”) within 30 days after the date of the Inducement Letter and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale
+Added: Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 days following the date of the Inducement Letter (or within 90 days
+Added: following the date of the Inducement Letter in the case of full review of the Resale Registration Statement by the SEC).
+Added: The Company engaged H.C.
+Added: Wainwright & Co.,
+Added: LLC (“Wainwright”) to act as its exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions summarized herein and will
+Added: pay Wainwright a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds received form the exercise of the Existing PIOs as well as a management
+Added: fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing PIOs.
+Added: The Company also agreed to reimburse Wainwright for its
+Added: expenses in connection with the exercise of the Existing PIOs and the issuance of the Inducement PIOS, up to $50,000 for fees and expenses
+Added: of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses and agreed to pay Wainwright for non-accountable expenses in the amount of $35,000.
+Added: The Company also agreed to issue to Wainwright or its designees warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), and as such shares
+Added: of common stock issuable thereunder, (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”) to purchase (i) 13,054 shares of common stock
+Added: which will have the same terms as the Inducement PIOs except for an exercise price equal to $7.50 per share and a term of five (5) years
+Added: following the date of stockholder approval and (ii) upon any exercise for cash of the Inducement PIOs, 7.5% of the aggregate exercise
+Added: price and that number of shares of common stock equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of such shares of common stock underlying the Inducement
+Added: PIOs that have not been exercised, which will have substantially the same terms as the Placement Agent Warrants.
+Added: The Company evaluated the terms of the Inducement
+Added: PIOs and the Wainwright Inducement Warrants (collectively, the “August 2023 Inducement Warrants”), and determined that they
+Added: should be classified as equity instruments based upon accounting guidance provided in ASC 480 and ASC 815-40.
+Added: The Company also evaluated
+Added: the unissued shares held in abeyance, which represent a prepaid forward contract, and determined that it is an equity instrument based
+Added: on the guidance provided in ASC 480 and ASC 815-40.
+Added: The Warrant Inducement, which resulted in the
+Added: lowering of the exercise price of the Existing PIOs and the issuance of the Inducement PIOs, is considered a modification of the Existing
+Added: PIOs under the guidance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
+Added: 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications
+Added: or Exchanges of Equity Classified Written Call Options .
+Added: The modification is consistent with the “Equity Issuance” classification
+Added: under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Existing PIOs to cash exercise their warrants,
+Added: resulting in the imminent exercise of the Existing PIOs, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds for the Company of approximately
+Added: $0.9 million.
+Added: As the Existing PIOs and the Inducement PIOs were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as
+Added: the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $1.9
+Added: million as an equity issuance cost.
+Added: In addition, the change in fair value of the contingent
+Added: warrant liability associated with 3,729 of the August 2022 Contingent Warrants and 7,459 of the August 2023 Contingent Warrants was decreased
+Added: to $0 upon the agreement with Wainwright that all prior contingent warrants were no longer issuable or due upon the Warrant Inducement
+Added: The fair value of the contingent warrant liability of approximately $2,700 was derecognized as of the settlement date, with
+Added: the corresponding amount, representing the fair value of the Wainwright Inducement Warrants, was recognized as additional paid-in capital.
+Added: The Company evaluated the terms of the 39,158
+Added: Inducement Contingent Warrants (equivalent to 7.0% of the aggregate number of such shares of common stock underlying the Inducement PIOs
+Added: that have not been exercised), which are issuable upon a future inducement, and determined that they should be classified as a liability
+Added: based upon accounting guidance provided in ASC 815-40.
+Added: Since the Inducement Contingent Warrants are a form of compensation to Wainwright,
+Added: the Company recorded the value of the liability of approximately $158,000 as a reduction of additional paid in capital, with subsequent
+Added: changes in the value of the liability recorded in other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations.
+Added: Reverse Stock Split
+Added: On September 24, 2024, the Company effected a
+Added: Reverse Stock Split of all shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio of one-for-forty (1:40).
+Added: The Company accounted
+Added: for the reverse stock split on a retrospective basis pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification
+Added: (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share .
+Added: All issued and outstanding common stock, common stock warrants, and share-based
+Added: awards’ exercise prices and per share data have been adjusted in the consolidated financial statements, on a retrospective basis,
+Added: to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.
+Added: The number of authorized shares and par value of the
+Added: preferred stock and common stock were not adjusted because of the reverse stock split.
+Added: Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
+Added: On September 24, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate
+Added: of 142,749 shares of Common Stock to Veru Inc., following Veru’s election to convert all the 3,000 shares of Series A preferred
+Added: stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) of the Company issued to it on September 29, 2023.

−Removed: As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of approximately $4.6 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $11.4 million
−Removed: and an accumulated deficit of approximately $56.8 million.
−Removed: These factors, along with the
−Removed: Company’s forecasted future cash flows, indicate that the Company will be unable to meet its contractual commitments and obligations

+Added: In December 2024, the Company began drawing on the Equity Financing Line of Credit (“ELOC”), which it entered into on
+Added: October 2, 2024, referred herein as the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
+Added: These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability

+Added: and to utilize the ELOC entered into in October 2024 (see Note 9) on an as-needed basis to assist with the paydown of the notes and to

+Added: However, based on the terms of the

+Added: to sustain operations.
+Added: In addition, there are currently no other commitments in place for further financing nor is there any assurance

−Removed: to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value.
−Removed: An impairment loss would be recognized
−Removed: when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount.

−Removed: This process involves reviewing
−Removed: open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our personnel and third parties to identify services that have been performed on
−Removed: our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced
−Removed: or otherwise notified of the actual cost.
−Removed: We make estimates of our accrued research and development expenses as of each balance sheet
−Removed: date based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time.
−Removed: We periodically confirm the accuracy of our estimates with the service

−Removed: incurred for services performed by our vendors in connection with research and development activities for which we have not yet been invoiced.
−Removed: We accrue for costs related
−Removed: to research and development activities based on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts
−Removed: with vendors, including CMOs, that conduct research and development on our behalf.
−Removed: The financial terms of these agreements are subject
−Removed: to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows.

−Removed: expense accordingly.
−Removed: Although we do not expect
−Removed: our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, if our estimates of the status and timing of services performed
−Removed: differ from the actual status and timing of services performed, it could result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in
−Removed: any particular period.
−Removed: To date, there have been no material differences between our estimates of such expenses and the amounts actually
−Removed: Financial instruments
−Removed: The Company determines the
−Removed: accounting classification of financial instruments that are issued, including its warrants and a subscription agreement, as either liability

−Removed: Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”).
−Removed: Under ASC 480-10, financial
−Removed: instruments are considered liability-classified if the instruments are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the instruments
−Removed: or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing a variable number of shares.
−Removed: If the instruments do not
−Removed: meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that
−Removed: require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood
−Removed: of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature.
−Removed: If the financial instruments do not require liability classification
−Removed: under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude equity classification, the Company assesses whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s
−Removed: common stock and whether the instruments are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP.
−Removed: After all relevant assessments
−Removed: are made, the Company concludes whether the instruments are classified as liability or equity.
−Removed: Liability-classified instruments are required
−Removed: to be accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair
−Removed: value after the issuance date recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and
−Removed: comprehensive loss.

−Removed: term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified
−Removed: method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term.
−Removed: The simplified method is used as the Company has insufficient
−Removed: historical information to provide a basis for an estimate of the expected term.
−Removed: Expected Volatility —
−Removed: Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s share price has historically fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate
−Removed: (i.e., expected volatility) during a period.

−Removed: common stock and a lack of adequate company-specific historical and implied volatility data, the Company computes stock price volatility
−Removed: over expected terms based on comparable companies’ historical common stock trading prices.
−Removed: For these analyses, the Company has selected
−Removed: companies with comparable characteristics, including enterprise value, risk profiles, and position within the industry.
−Removed: Common Stock Fair Value —
