Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 - BUSINESS Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Relmada or the Company) (a Nevada corporation), is a clinical-stage, publicly traded biotechnology company focused on the development of esmethadone (d-methadone, dextromethadone, REL-1017), an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Esmethadone is a new chemical entity (NCE) that potentially addresses areas of high unmet medical need in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases and other disorders. In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other governmental regulations and approval requirements. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Liquidity As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred negative operating cash flows of $ 16,505,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and has an accumulated deficit of $ 488,432,511 from inception through March 31, 2023. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will enable it to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Beyond that point management will evaluate the size and scope of any subsequent operations and clinical trials that will affect the timing of additional financings through public or private sales of equity or debt securities or from bank or other loans or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements. Further, additional financing does not affect the Company’s conclusion that based on the cash on hand and the budgeted cash flow requirements, the Company has sufficient funds to maintain operations for at least 12 months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates are stock-based compensation expenses and recorded amounts related to income taxes. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash deposits and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash deposits are held at two high-credit-quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance of $ 28,894,360 at March 31, 2023 at these institutions exceed the federally insured limits. 5 Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Short-term Investments The Company’s investments consist entirely of mutual funds. The securities are measured at fair value based on the net asset value (NAV). Substantially all equity investments in nonconsolidated entities are measured at fair value with recurring changes recognized in earnings, except for those accounted for using equity method accounting. Changes in fair value of the securities are recorded as part of other income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Short term investment activity is presented in the investing activities section on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Short-term investments at March 31, 2023 consisted of mutual funds with a fair value of $ 103,547,634 . Patents Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are recorded as general and administrative expense and expensed as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. Leases The Company recognizes its leases with a term of greater than a year on the balance sheet by recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases can be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Operating leases will result in straight-line lease expense, while finance leases will result in front-loaded expense. The Company’s lease consists of an operating lease for office space. The Company does not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for short-term leases. Instead, the Company recognizes short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, short term investments, and accounts payable. Due to the short-term nature of cash and accounts payable the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). As required by Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic No. 820 - 10 Fair Value Measurement , financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company’s short-term investment instruments of $ 103,547,634 at March 31, 2023 consist of mutual funds, bank deposits and money market funds and are classified using Level 1 inputs within the fair value hierarchy because the value is based on quoted prices in active markets. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations under other income. The Company recorded unrealized gain of $ 1,291,110 and an unrealized loss of $ 1,763,287 included in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 6 Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance to the full extent of the Company’s net deferred tax assets since the likelihood of realization of the benefit does not meet the more likely than not threshold. The Company files a U.S. Federal income tax return and various state returns. Uncertain tax positions taken on the Company’s tax returns will be accounted for as liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. There were no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The open tax years, subject to potential examination by the applicable taxing authority, for the Company are from June 30, 2018 forward. Research and Development Research and development costs primarily consist of research contracts for the advancement of product development, salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, and consultants. The Company expenses all research and development costs in the period incurred. The Company makes an estimate of costs in relation to clinical study contracts. The Company analyzes the progress of studies, including the progress of clinical studies and phases, invoices received and contracted costs when evaluating the adequacy of the amount expensed and the related prepaid asset and accrued liability. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period. The grant-date fair value of employee share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. Net Loss per Common Share Basic loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of options and warrants to purchase common stock. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net losses in each period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the potentially dilutive securities that would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. The anti-dilutive securities are as follows (in common stock equivalent shares): Three months ended March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 Stock options 12,487,917 10,262,184 Common stock warrants 3,027,441 3,175,443 Total 15,515,358 13,437,627 7 Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The standard requires enhanced disclosure of certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and eliminates certain current recognition and measurement accounting guidance. This ASU also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Subsequent Events The Company’s management reviewed all material events through the date the financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration. NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES Prepaid expenses consisted of the following (rounded to nearest $00): March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Insurance $ 211,700 $ 313,200 Research and Development 2,589,800 3,619,800 Other 288,100 102,200 Total $ 3,089,600 $ 4,035,200 NOTE 4 - ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses consisted of the following (rounded to nearest $00): March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Research and development $ 4,806,000 $ 5,809,800 Professional fees 125,000 116,500 Accrued bonus 331,000 492,100 Accrued vacation 332,400 529,800 Other 80,900 258,700 Total $ 5,675,300 $ 7,206,900 8 Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock During the three months ended March 31, 2023 no shares of common stock were issued. On April 6, 2022, the Company entered into a new Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Jefferies, shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 100,000,000 . We are not obligated to sell any shares under the agreement. As of March 31, 2023, no shares have been issued under this agreement. Options and Warrants In December 2014, the Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved Relmada’s 2014 Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which allows for the granting of 5,152,942 common stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and incentive and nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to designated employees, non-employee directors, and consultants and advisors. In May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and shareholders approved Relmada’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) which allows for the granting of 1,500,000 options or other stock awards. In May 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and shareholders approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance thereunder by 3,900,000 shares. These combined plans allowed for the granting of up to 10,552,942 options or other stock awards. Stock options are exercisable generally for a period of 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over four years . As of March 31, 2023, no shares were available for future grants under the 2014 or 2021 Plan. The shareholders will vote at their annual meeting in 2023 on a management proposal to increase the shares available to be issued under the 2021 Plan. There can be no assurance such amendment will be approved. As of March 31, 2023, options for 1,934,975 shares of common stock had been issued subject to approval by the shareholders of this amendment. If the amendment is not approved, such options will be forfeited. As of March 31, 2023, no stock appreciation rights have been issued. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants. The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected volatility was based on historical volatility. The Company routinely reviews its calculation of volatility changes in future volatility, the Company’s life cycle, its peer group, and other factors. The Company uses the simplified method for share-based compensation to estimate the expected term for equity awards for share-based compensation in its option-pricing model. From January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023, 620,000 options were issued to various consultants and employees with an exercise price ranging from $ 3.18 to $ 4 .30 and a 10 -year term, vesting over a 4 year period. The options granted include time-based vesting grants. The options have an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.9 million calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate of 3.46 – 4.12 % (2) expected life of 6.25 years, (3) expected volatility of 115.4 - 115.6 %, and (4) zero expected dividends. 9 Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued) At March 31, 2023, the Company has unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $84.5 million related to unvested stock options which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of 2.62 years.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES License Agreements Wonpung On August 20, 2007, the Company entered into a License Development and Commercialization Agreement with Wonpung Mulsan Co, a shareholder of the Company. Wonpung has exclusive territorial rights in countries it selects in Asia to market up to two drugs the Company was developing at the time of the signing of the agreement and a right of first refusal (ROFR) for up to an additional five drugs that the Company may develop in the future as defined in more detail in the license agreement. If the parties cannot agree to terms of a license agreement then the Company shall be able to engage in discussions with other potential licensors. As of March 31, 2023, no discussions are active between the Company and Wonpung. The Company received an upfront license fee of $ 1,500,000 and will earn royalties of up to 12 % of net sales for up to two licensed products it is currently developing. The licensing terms for the ROFR products are subject to future negotiations and binding arbitration. The terms of each licensing agreement will expire on the earlier of any time from 15 years to 20 years after licensing or on the date of commercial availability of a generic product to such licensed product in the licensed territory. Third Party Licensor Based upon a prior acquisition, the Company assumed an obligation to pay third parties (Dr. Charles E. Inturrisi and Dr. Paolo Manfredi – see below): (A) royalty payments up to 2% on net sales of licensed products that are not sold by sublicensee and (B) on each and every sublicense earned royalty payment received by licensee from its sublicensee on sales of license product by sublicensee, the higher of (i) 20% of the royalties received by licensee; or (ii) up to 2% of net sales of sublicensee. The Company will also make milestone payments of up to $4 million or $2 million, for the first commercial sale of product in the field that has a single active pharmaceutical ingredient, and for the first commercial sale of product in the field of product that has more than one active pharmaceutical ingredient, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not generated any revenue related to this license agreement. Inturrisi / Manfredi In January 2018, we entered into an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (the Assignment Agreement) and License Agreement (the License Agreement and together with the Assignment Agreement, the Agreements) with Dr. Charles E. Inturrisi and Dr. Paolo Manfredi (collectively, the Licensor). Pursuant to the Agreements, Relmada assigned its existing rights, including patents and patent applications, to esmethadone in the context of psychiatric use (the Existing Invention) to Licensor. Licensor then granted Relmada under the License Agreement a perpetual, worldwide, and exclusive license to commercialize the Existing Invention and certain further inventions regarding esmethadone in the context of other indications such as those contemplated above. In consideration of the rights granted to Relmada under the License Agreement, Relmada paid the Licensor an upfront, non-refundable license fee of $ 180,000 . Additionally, Relmada will pay Licensor $ 45,000 every three months until the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the first commercial sale of a licensed product anywhere in the world, (ii) the expiration or invalidation of the last to expire or be invalidated of the patent rights anywhere in the world, or (iii) the termination of the License Agreement. Relmada will also pay Licensor tiered royalties with a maximum rate of 2%, decreasing to 1.75%, and 1.5% in certain circumstances, on net sales of licensed products covered under the License Agreement.
