Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
SenesTech, Inc. (referred to in this report as
“SenesTech,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) has developed and is commercializing a global,
proprietary technology for managing animal pest populations, initially rat populations, through fertility control.
Although there are myriad tools available to control
rat populations, most rely on some form of lethal method to achieve effectiveness. Each of these solutions is inherently limited by rat
species’ resilience and survival mechanisms as well as their extraordinary rate of reproduction. ContraPest®, our initial product,
is unique in the pest control industry in attacking the reproductive systems of both male and female rats, which our field data shows
results in a sustained reduction of the rat population.
Rats have plagued humanity throughout history.
They pose significant threats to the environment and to the health and food security of many communities. In addition, rodents cause extensive
product loss and damage through consumption and contamination. Rats also cause significant damage to critical infrastructure by burrowing
beneath foundations and gnawing on electrical wiring, insulation, fire proofing systems, electronics and equipment.
The most prevalent solution to rat infestations
is the use of increasingly powerful rodenticides. Although these solutions provide short term results, there are growing concerns about
secondary exposure and bioaccumulation of rodenticides in the environment, as well as concerns about rodenticides that have no antidotes.
The pest management industry and Pest Management Professionals (“PMPs”) are being asked for new solutions that are both effective
and less toxic. Our goal is to provide customers with not only a solution to combat their most difficult rat problems, but also offer
an effective, non-lethal option to serve customers that are looking to decrease or remove the amount of rodenticide used in their pest
control programs.
ContraPest is a liquid bait containing the active
ingredients 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (“VCD”) and triptolide. ContraPest limits reproduction of male and female rats beginning
with the first breeding cycle following consumption. ContraPest is being marketed for use in controlling Norway and roof rat populations.
SenesTech began the registration process with
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) for ContraPest on August 23, 2015. On August 2, 2016, the EPA
granted an unconditional registration for ContraPest as a Restricted Use Product (“RUP”), due to the need for applicator expertise
for deployment. On October 18, 2018, the EPA approved the removal of the RUP designation. We believe ContraPest is the first and only
non-lethal, fertility control product approved by the EPA for the management of rodent populations.
In addition to the EPA registration of ContraPest
in the United States, ContraPest must obtain registration from the various state regulatory agencies prior to selling in each state. We
have received registration for ContraPest in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia and 48 states have also
approved the removal of the RUP designation.
We expect to continue to pursue regulatory approvals
and amendments to the existing U.S. registration for ContraPest to broaden the marketability and use of ContraPest, and if ContraPest
begins to generate sufficient revenue, regulatory approvals for additional jurisdictions beyond the United States. In certain cases, our
EPA and state registrations require completion of additional testing and certifications even though we have received approval for the
product or its labelling. We continue to seek to comply with these requirements.
The Company also continues to research and develop
enhancements to ContraPest that align with our target verticals and other potential fertility control options for additional species.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business – (continued)
We were formed in July 2004 and incorporated in
the state of Nevada. The Company subsequently reincorporated in the state of Delaware in November 2015. Our corporate headquarters and
manufacturing site are in Phoenix, Arizona. On December 8, 2016, we went public and are currently traded on Nasdaq under the symbol SNES.
On February 4, 2020, we amended our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The accompanying
condensed financial statements and notes thereto give retrospective effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. All issued
and outstanding common stock, options and warrants exercisable for common stock, restricted stock units, preferred stock conversions to
common stock and per share amounts contained in our condensed financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted.
Going Concern
Our financial statements as of September 30, 2021,
December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent
registered public accounting firm included in its opinion for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 an explanatory paragraph referring
to our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern
without additional capital becoming available. If we encounter continued issues or delays in the commercialization of ContraPest, our
prior losses and expected future losses could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and negatively impact our ability to fund
continued operations, obtain additional financing in the future and continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such financing,
if necessary, will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements
do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in
the future through additional financings, sales of our products, licensing fees, royalty payments or from other sources or transactions,
we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have sustained significant
operating losses in the course of our research and development and commercialization activities and expect such losses to continue for
the near future. We have generated limited revenue to date from product sales, research grants and licensing fees received under our former
license agreement. We have primarily funded our operations to date through the sale of equity securities, including convertible preferred
stock, common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. See Note 10 - Stockholders’ Deficit for a description of our public equity
sales.
We have also raised capital through debt financing,
consisting primarily of convertible notes and government loan programs, and, to a lesser extent, payments received in connection with
product sales, grants and licensing fees.
Through September 30, 2021, we received net proceeds
of $ 89.3 million from our sales of common stock, preferred stock and warrant exercises and issuance of convertible and other promissory
notes, an aggregate of $ 1.7 million from licensing fees and an aggregate of $ 1.4 million in net product sales and grants. As of September
30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $ 110.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $ 11.1 million.

SENESTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business – (continued)
Our ultimate success depends upon the outcome
of a combination of factors, including: (i) successful commercialization of ContraPest and maintaining and obtaining regulatory approval
of our products and product candidates; (ii) market acceptance, commercial viability and profitability of ContraPest and other products;
(iii) the ability to market our products and establish an effective sales force and marketing infrastructure to generate significant revenue;
(iv) the success of our research and development; (v) the ability to retain and attract key personnel to develop, operate and grow our
business; and (vi) our ability to meet our working capital needs. Based upon our current operating plan, we expect that cash and cash
equivalents at September 30, 2021, in combination with anticipated revenue and additional sales of our equity securities, will be sufficient
to fund our current operations for at least the next 12 months. We have evaluated and will continue to evaluate our operating expenses
and will concentrate our resources toward the successful commercialization of ContraPest in the United States. However, if anticipated
revenue targets and margin targets are not achieved or expenses are more than we have budgeted, we may need to raise additional financing
before that time. If we need more financing, including within the next 12 months, and we are unable to raise necessary capital through
the sale of our securities, we may be required to take other measures that could impair our ability to be successful and operate as a
going concern. In any event, we may require additional capital in order to fund our operating losses and research and development activities
before we become profitable and may opportunistically raise capital. We may never achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows,
and unless and until we do, we will continue to need to raise capital through equity or debt financing. If such equity or debt financing
is not available at adequate levels or on acceptable terms, we may need to delay, limit or terminate commercialization and development
efforts or discontinue operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations. In the Company’s opinion, the unaudited condensed financial statements include all material adjustments,
all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September
30, 2021, the Company’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the Company’s
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2020 is derived
from audited financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021. All amounts shown in these financial statements and accompanying notes are in
thousands, except percentages and per share and share amounts.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 and classification of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements include the valuation
of preferred stock, if issued, common stock and related warrants, and other stock-based awards. Actual results could differ from such
estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material impact on net earnings, financial position or cash
flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers money market fund investments
to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents in the form of money market fund investment of $ 10,493 and $ 1,500 at September
30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, included in cash as reported.
Accounts Receivable-Trade
Accounts receivable-trade consist primarily of
receivables from customers. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts.
That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status
of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful trade receivables was $ 0 at September 30, 2021 and December
31, 2020.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market value, using the first-in, first-out convention. Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. Raw
materials are stocked to reduce the risk of impact on manufacturing for potential supply interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic or
other supply chain interruptions and long lead times on certain ingredients.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies – (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Equipment held under finance leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated
amortization.
Depreciation on property and equipment is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized
over the life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Equipment held under finance leases is amortized over
the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. The Company incurs repair and maintenance costs on its major equipment,
which are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment,
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
If circumstances require long-lived assets or asset groups to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the
carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow models
and the use of third-party independent appraisals. The Company has not recorded an impairment of long-lived assets since its inception.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted
Accounting Standards Codification 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) . Under ASC 606,
the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying
the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine
the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when
each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company recognizes revenue when product is
shipped at a fixed selling price on payment terms of 30 to 120 days from invoicing. The Company recognizes other revenue earned from pilot
studies, consulting and implementation services upon the performance of specific services under the respective service contract.
The Company derives revenue primarily from commercial
sales of products, net of discounts and promotions, as well as consulting and implementation services provided in conjunction with our
product deployments.
Research and Development
Research, and development costs are expensed
as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development employees, stock-based
compensation, consulting fees, lab supplies, costs incurred related to conducting scientific trials and field studies, regulatory compliance
costs, as well as manufacturing costs associated with process improvement and other research. Research and development expenses include
an allocation of facilities related costs, including depreciation of equipment.

Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based awards, consisting of stock options
and restricted stock units expected to be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, are recorded as equity awards. The grant
date fair value of these awards is measured using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock
options and grant date market value for restricted stock units. The Company expenses the grant date fair value of its stock-based awards
on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods.
The stock-based compensation expense recorded
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

See Note 11 for additional discussion on stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the
asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred
tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to
the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments
as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances
are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive
and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies and recent financial operations. The Company currently maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold for all tax uncertainties. Only those benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination
by the taxing authorities are recognized. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions

Comprehensive Loss
Net loss and comprehensive loss were the same
for all periods presented; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive loss is not included in the accompanying financial statements.
Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic loss per 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
during the period. Diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined
using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the computation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders,
common stock purchase warrants, and common stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities but have been excluded from
the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would be anti-dilutive given the net
loss reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share attributable
to common stockholders are the same for each period presented.
The following table sets forth the outstanding
potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders
(in common stock equivalent shares):

Adoption of New Accounting Standard:
The Company has considered all recently issued
accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we believe may have a material
impact on our unaudited condensed interim financial statements.
Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company issued common stock warrants to purchase
shares of common stock in June of 2015 (see Note 9 - Common Stock Warrants and Common Stock Warrant Liability) that expired in June of
2020. These warrants contained a cash settlement provision that resulted in a common stock warrant liability that was revalued at the
end of each reporting period.
We valued these warrant derivatives at fair value.
The accounting guidance for fair value, among other things, 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 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. The framework for measuring fair value consists of a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based upon whether such inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable
inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the reporting
entity. The three-level hierarchy for the inputs
11
SENESTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements – (continued)
to valuation techniques is briefly summarized
as follows:
Level 1 —Inputs
are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at
the measurement date;
Level 2 —Inputs are observable,
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 —Unobservable inputs
that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
An asset’s or liability’s fair value
measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value
are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:
A.
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
B.
Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
C.
Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models.
The Company’s common stock warrant liabilities
are classified as Level 3 because there is limited activity or less transparency around the inputs to valuation.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial
instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The estimated fair
value of the convertible notes and other notes, not recorded at fair value, are recorded at cost or amortized cost which was deemed to
estimate fair value.
Note 4 - Credit Risk
The Company is potentially subject to concentrations
of credit risk in its accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to receivables is limited due to the number of companies comprising
the Company’s customer base, however the Company did identify a potentially uncollectable account at December 31, 2019 and maintained
a reserve for this receivable balance of $ 123 . At December 31, 2020, the account was deemed uncollectable and offset against the reserve.
The Company did not have any potentially uncollectable account at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020 and therefore, did not record
a reserve for uncollectable accounts at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The Company does not require collateral or other securities
to support its accounts receivable.

Outstanding Warrants
As of September 30, 2021, we had 4,547,618 shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding common stock warrants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $ 3.987 per share.
On November 21, 2017, the Company issued a total
of 232,875 detachable common stock warrants issued with the second public offering of 293,000 shares of its common stock at $ 20.00 per
share. The common stock warrant is exercisable until five years from the date of grant. The common shares of the Company’s stock
and detachable warrants exist independently as separate securities. As such, the Company estimated the fair value of the common stock
warrants, exercisable at $ 30.00 per share, to be $ 661 using a lattice model based on the following significant inputs: common stock price
of $ 20.00 ; comparable company volatility of 73.8 %; remaining term 5 years; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of 1.87 %.
The initial exercise price of these warrants was $ 30.00 per share, which adjusted downward to $ 29.40 on July 24, 2018, the record date
of the Right’s Offering and downward to $ 19.00 per share on August 13, 2018, the date of the Rights Offering, pursuant to antidilution
price adjustment protection contained within these warrants. The exercise price of the warrants was adjusted downward to $ 7.13 on January
28, 2020 in connection with a private placement of common stock. Per guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
260, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $ 285 on the 143,501 unexercised warrants that contained this antidilution price adjustment
protection provision and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the warrants immediately prior to downward exercise
price adjustment and immediately after the adjustment using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs: on January
28, 2020, common stock price of $ 7.90 ; comparable company volatility of 73.8 %; remaining term 2.82 years; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free
interest rate of 1.45 %.
The exercise price of the warrants was adjusted
downward to $ 2.1122 on March 4, 2020 in connection with a private placement of common stock. Per guidance of ASC 260, the Company recorded
a deemed dividend of $ 129 on the 143,501 unexercised warrants that contained this antidilution price adjustment protection provision and
was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the warrants immediately prior to downward exercise price adjustment and immediately
after the adjustment using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs: on March 4, 2020, common stock price of $ 2.88 ;
comparable company volatility of 74.5 %; remaining term 2.71 years; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of 0.68 %.
The exercise price of the warrants was adjusted
downward to $ 1.3659 on October 26, 2020 in connection with an inducement offering of common stock. Per guidance of ASC 260, the Company
recorded a deemed dividend of $ 22 on the 143,501 unexercised warrants that contained this antidilution price adjustment protection provision
and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the warrants immediately prior to downward exercise price adjustment and
immediately after the adjustment using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs: On October 26, 2020, common stock
price of $ 1.47 ; comparable company volatility of 96.5 %; remaining term 2.08 years; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of
0.18 %.
On June 20, 2018, the Company entered into an
agreement with a holder of 56,696 of the November 2017 warrants to exercise its original warrant representing 56,696 shares of common
stock for cash at the $ 30.00 exercise price for gross proceeds of $ 1.7 million and the Company issued to holder a new warrant to purchase
56,696 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 36.40 per share. The new warrant did not contain the antidilution price adjustment
protection that was contained within the exercised warrants. In June 2018, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $ 1,700 representing
the fair value of the of 56,696 inducement warrants issued. The Company estimated the fair value of the common stock warrants, exercisable
at $ 36.40 per share, to be $ 1,700 using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs: common stock price of $ 42.20 ;
comparable company volatility of 72.6 %; remaining term 5 years; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of 2.8 %. Also, in June
2018, an additional 17,088 of the November 8, 2017 warrants that were in the money at the time of exercise, were exercised for gross proceeds
of $ 513 .

the Company’s common stock, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 353,872 shares of common stock to
certain institutional and accredited investors that participated in the 2020 Registered Direct Offerings (the “2020 Warrants”).
The warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Terms used but not otherwise defined
herein will have the meanings given them in the warrants, attached as Exhibit 4.1 to our Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2020,
and our Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2020.
The warrants issued in January 2020 to purchase
177,500 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $ 9.00 per share, are exercisable after July 28, 2020 and will expire July
28, 2025. The Company estimated the fair value of the common stock warrants, exercisable at $ 9.00 per share, to be $ 813 using a Black

The Company estimated the fair value of the common stock warrants, exercisable at $ 2.88 per share, to be $ 242 using a Black Scholes model
based on the following significant inputs: common stock price of $ 2.35 ; comparable company volatility of 74.8 %; remaining term 5.5 years;
dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of 0.39 %.
For so long as the 2020 Warrants remain outstanding, the exercise price
and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment as follows: (a) upon payment
of a stock dividend or other distribution on a class or series of shares common stock, not including shares issued under this warrant;
17
SENESTECH, INC.

Note 9 - Common Stock Warrants and Common Stock Warrant Liability
– (continued)
(b) upon subdivision (by stock spilt, stock
dividend, recapitalization, or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split or otherwise) of shares of common stock; or (c) upon
the issuance of any shares of capital stock by reclassification of shares of the common stock.
In the event that the Company declares or makes
any dividend or other distribution of its assets to holders of its common stock, each 2020 Warrant holder will be entitled to participate
in such distribution to the same extent that such holder would have participated therein if the holder had held the number of shares of
common stock acquirable upon exercise of the 2020 Warrant.
In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as
described in the 2020 Warrants and generally including the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties
or assets; our consolidation or merger with or into another person or reorganization; a recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification
in which our common stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or any acquisition of our outstanding common stock that
results in any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50 % of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, then
the holders of the 2020 Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of such warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash, assets
or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the 2020 Warrants immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.
Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction the 2020 Warrant holder may at its option require the Company
or any Successor Entity to purchase such warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes
Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the 2020 Warrant on the date of the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.
Any time that the Company grants, issues, or sells
any securities pro rata to all of the record holders of the common stock (the “2020 Purchase Right”), each holder of 2020
Warrants will be entitled to acquire the aggregate amount of securities that the holder could have acquired if the holder had held the
number of shares of common stock acquirable upon exercise of the applicable 2020 Warrant. However, to the extent that an exercise of a
2020 Purchase Right would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (defined below), then to such extent the 2020 Purchase Right will
be held in abeyance until such time, if ever, that complete exercise of the 2020 Purchase Right would not exceed the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation.
After the Initial Exercisability Date (as defined
in the 2020 Warrants), the 2020 Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a
duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise.
If, at the time a holder exercises the 2020 Warrant (but not sooner than six months following the date of such warrant), a registration
statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the 2020 Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective
or available, nor is any current prospectus thereto available, and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available
for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in
payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the number
of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the 2020 Warrant.
Limitations on Exercise . A holder (together
with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the 2020 Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the
outstanding common stock after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon at least 61 days’
prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation up to 9.99% of the number of shares of
our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance
with the terms of the 2020 Warrants. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a 2020 Warrant.
In lieu of fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise
price or round up to the next whole share.

Agent in March 2021 Registered Direct Offering
On March 23, 2021, the Company consummated a registered
direct offering with certain institutional investors and issued an aggregate of 1,975,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,
par value $ 0.001 per share at a purchase price of $ 2.00 per share for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 3.95 million, before
deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The 1,975,000 shares of Common
Stock sold in the Offering were offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus, dated August 24, 2018, and a prospectus supplement, dated March
22, 2021, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225712).
In connection with the registered direct offering
in March 2021, the Company issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as the placement agent, warrants to purchase up to 148,125 shares
of Common Stock. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable commencing six months following the date of issuance, expire five years
following the date of sale and have an exercise price per share of $ 2.50 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants, and the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company estimated the fair value of these common
stock warrants, with an exercise price of $ 2.50 per share, to be $ 181 using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs:
common stock price of $ 1.76 ; comparable company volatility of 100.8 %; remaining term 5 years; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest

Deemed Dividend Adjustment-Warrant Modified
Terms Revaluation
On March 3, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate
of 51,414 common shares in a cashless exercise of 56,625 warrants issued in December 2016 and November 2017. Consideration for the exercise
of these warrants was the full settlement of an outstanding litigation reserve of $ 238 .
On October 26, 2020, in connection with the private
warrant inducement with an existing accredited investor to exercise 1,700,680 Original Warrants, the Company agreed to modify the terms
of the Original Warrants that were originally issued on March 6, 2020 and on April 24, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement, the per share
exercise price of the Original Warrants were reduced from $ 2.88 and $ 3.05 , respectively, to $ 1.725 .
Per recent proposed guidance of ASC 260, the
Company determined that this was an exchange of the existing 1,700,680 warrants that were affected and the difference between the fair
value of the warrants immediately prior to modification of terms and immediately after the adjustment was a cost of raising capital and
was recorded as a reduction of equity. The difference between the fair value of the warrants immediately prior to modification of terms
and immediately after the adjustment was calculated as $ 237 , using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs: On
October 26, 2020: common stock price of $ 1.47 ; comparable company volatility of 96.5 %; remaining term 4.5 -4. 8 years; dividend yield of
0 % and risk-free interest rate of 0.18 %.

Note 11 - Stock-based Compensation
Stock Options
Stock options are generally issued with a per
share exercise price equal to no less than fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2018
Plan generally vest over a twelve- to 36-month period coinciding with their respective service periods. Options under the 2018 Plan generally
have a term of five years . Certain stock options provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 2,857,184
shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
The Company measures the fair value of stock options
with service-based vesting criteria to employees, directors and consultants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related
to the expected price volatility of the Company’s stock, the period during which the options will be outstanding, the rate of return
on risk-free investments, and the expected dividend yield for the Company’s stock.
The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model used to calculate the fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were as follows:
Expected volatility
96.5 %
Expected dividend yield
—
Expected term (in years)
2.99
Risk-free interest rate
0.44 %
The weighted average grant date fair value of
options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $ 0.98 per share, as per the table above.

SENESTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 11 - Stock-based Compensation – (continued)
Due to the Company’s limited operating history
and lack of company-specific historical or implied volatility, the expected volatility assumption was determined based on historical volatilities
from traded options of biotech companies of comparable size and stability, whose share prices are publicly available. The expected term
of options granted to employees is calculated based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term according
to the simplified method as described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise
data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to the limited period of time its awards have been outstanding.
For non-employee options, the expected term of options granted is the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is
determined by reference to the implied yields of U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the expected term assumed at
the time of grant. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company
has not paid and does not intend to pay dividends.

Lease Commitments
In February 2012, the Company entered into an
operating lease for its then corporate headquarters in Flagstaff, Arizona, which expired in December 2019. In December 2019, we extended
the lease for only the manufacturing facilities located in Flagstaff, Arizona, occupying a total of 7,632 square feet of space. The lease
for these manufacturing facilities expired in December 2020.
On November 16, 2016, we leased an additional
1,954 square feet of manufacturing, research and development space, also in Flagstaff. This lease expired on November 15, 2018 but was
extended for an additional 24 months, through November 2020. A subsequent amendment to the lease allows for the Company to cancel the
lease at any time through the lease term with 30 days’ notice. The Company provided a 30-day cancellation notice effective February
2020.
On December 1, 2019, we entered into a lease for
our corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona where we lease and occupy approximately 5,529 square feet of office space. This lease expires
in November 2024.
On August 1, 2020, we entered into a lease for
our manufacturing and research facility in Phoenix, Arizona where we occupy approximately 5,105 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse
space. This lease expires on November 30, 2024.
We believe that our existing facilities are adequate
and meet our current needs for business, manufacturing and research.

COVID-19
The travel and other restrictions that began in
March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in a significant slowdown in our field studies and sales efforts. We were
able to resume some projects by mid-year 2020, however, we still have delays on certain projects that might remain on hold until businesses
and government entities return to more normal operations. These continued delays have impacted our results of operations and could impact
our results in future quarters. In addition, extended stay at home orders and other social distancing initiatives severely limited our
ability to communicate with current and potential commercial and governmental customers. While many restrictions were lifted during our
second and third fiscal quarters of 2021, we have not returned to full scope pre-pandemic activities, and are uncertain as to when or
if, with potential further restrictions, that may occur. The COVID-19 pandemic is also placing a significant budgetary burden on federal,
state and local governments, which may impede or delay their ability to purchase our products.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from
the balance sheet date through November 12, 2021, the date at which the financial statements were issued, and determined that there were
no other items that require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
