(Unaudited)
Note
1 - Organization and Description of Business
SenesTech,
Inc. (referred to in this report as “SenesTech,” the “Company,” “we,” “us”, or “our”)
was formed in July 2004 and incorporated in the state of Nevada. We subsequently reincorporated in the state of Delaware in November
2015. Our corporate headquarters is in Phoenix, Arizona. We have developed and are 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 will result in a sustained reduction of the rat population.
Rats
have plagued humanity throughout history. They pose significant threats to the health and food security of many communities. In addition,
rodents cause significant 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 highly effective
solution to combat their rat problems, but also offer a 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.
We
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
June 2022, we received EPA registration and approval our new Elevate Bait System with ContraPest. This innovative bait system provides
a unique and effective delivery system designed to target roof rats in elevated spaces.
In
addition to the EPA registration of ContraPest in the United States, we must obtain registration from the various state regulatory agencies
prior to selling in each state. To date, we have received registration for ContraPest in all 50 states and the District of Columbia,
48 of which have approved the removal of the RUP designation.
In
addition to product registration, the EPA also approves all labeling (the container label, instructional inserts, and the Safety Data
Sheet (“SDS”)) of ContraPest. Generally, states accept the EPA approved label as is. ContraPest’s labeling was
submitted to the states at the initial registration and is resubmitted during state scheduled reregistration or for any significant labeling
change requiring EPA approval.

(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Note
1 - Organization and Description of Business – (continued)
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.
We
also continue to research and develop enhancements to ContraPest that align with our target verticals and other potential fertility control
options for additional species and alternate delivery systems.
Going
Concern
Our
financial statements as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue
as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, we have
incurred operating losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable
future. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition.
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 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, research grants and licensing fees.
Through
June 30, 2022, we received net proceeds of $ 89.6 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 $ 2.0 million in net product
sales. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $ 117.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $ 5.0 million.
Our
ultimate success depends upon the outcome of a combination of factors, including the following: (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.

(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Note
1 - Organization and Description of Business – (continued)
Based
upon our current operating plan, we expect that cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022, in combination with anticipated revenue and
any additional sales of our equity securities, will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next six to nine 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
six to nine 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
Our
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements 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 the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed financial statements include
all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of
June 30, 2022, our operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2021 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC
on March 29, 2022. 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 our 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
We
consider money market fund investments to be cash equivalents. We had cash equivalents in the form of money market fund investment of
$ 4,095 and $ 8,793 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, included in cash as reported.

Accounts
Receivable-Trade
Accounts
receivable-trade consist primarily of receivables from customers. We provide 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. We had allowance for doubtful trade receivables at
June 30, 2022 of $ 12 . We did not have any allowance for doubtful trade receivables at December 31, 2021.
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, supply chain issues or long lead times on certain ingredients.

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. We incur repair and maintenance
costs on our 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,
we compare 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. We have not recorded an impairment of long-lived
assets since inception.
Revenue
Recognition
Effective
January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC 606”) . Under ASC 606, we recognize 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.
We
recognize revenue when product is shipped at a fixed selling price on payment terms of 30 to 120 days from invoicing. We recognize other
revenue earned from pilot studies, consulting and implementation services upon the performance of specific services under the respective
service contract.
We
derive 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.
Deferred revenue represents payments that have
been received in advance of fulfillment of these orders. These product orders are anticipated to be fulfilled in future periods.
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 our 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. We expense the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over
their respective vesting periods.
The
stock-based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was as follows:

Income
Taxes
We
account 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.
We
record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe 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,
we consider 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.
We
apply 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 our evaluation, we have concluded there
are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements.
We
recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There are no uncertain tax positions as
of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021 and, as such, no interest or penalties were recorded in income tax expense.
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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Therefore,
basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same for each period presented.

Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
There
have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact,
or potential significant impact, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note
3 - Fair Value Measurements
The
carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their
short maturities. The estimated fair value of our notes, not recorded at fair value, are recorded at cost or amortized cost which was
deemed to estimate fair value.
Note
4 - Credit Risk
We
are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk in our accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to receivables is limited
due to the number of companies comprising our customer base. At June 30, 2022, we had $ 12 in potentially uncollectable accounts and recorded
a reserve for uncollectable accounts in that amount. We did not have any potentially uncollectable accounts at December 31, 2021 and
therefore, did not record a reserve for uncollectable accounts at December 31, 2021. We do not require collateral or other securities
to support its accounts receivable.

Outstanding Warrants
As of June 30, 2022, we had 4,531,447 shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding common stock warrants, at a weighted-average exercise price of $ 4.00 per share.
On November 21, 2017, we issued a total of 232,875
detachable common stock warrants issued with the second public offering of 293,000 shares of our common stock at $ 20.00 per share. The
common stock warrant is exercisable until five years from the date of grant. Our common stock and detachable warrants exist independently
as separate securities. As such, we 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 five 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 2018 Rights Offering, and downward to $ 19.00
per share on August 13, 2018, the date of the 2018 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 ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share (“ASC260”), we 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, we 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, we 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, we 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 we 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, we recorded stock compensation expense of $ 1,700 representing the fair
value of the of 56,696 inducement warrants issued. We 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 five 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 .

offering of 267,853 shares of our common stock (the “2018 Rights Offering”), we issued 267,853 warrants to purchase shares

for providing services in connection with a common stock offering in July 2019. The warrant was fully vested and exercisable on the date
of issuance. The common stock warrant is exercisable until five years from the date of grant. We estimated the fair value of the common

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 Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 28, 2020
and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020.

Note 9 - Common Stock Warrants and Common Stock Warrant Liability
– (continued)
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 of common stock, not including shares issued under this
warrant; (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 we declare or make any dividend
or other distribution of our assets to holders of our 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 us 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 we grant, issue or sell any securities
pro rata to all of the record holders of our 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, 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.

Except as otherwise provided in the 2020 Warrants

Common Stock Warrants Issued in April 2020
Public Offering
On April 24, 2020, in connection with a previously
announced public offering of 145,586 Class A Units and 1,428,722 Class B Units, we issued warrants to purchase 1,574,308 shares of common
stock to the participants in the public offering and have an exercise price of $ 3.05 per share (the “April 2020 Warrants”).
These warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire April 24, 2025 .
The Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants
sold in this Public Offering were offered and sold pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-236302) initially filed
with the SEC on February 7, 2020, as amended (“Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on February
14, 2020. The Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 21, 2020.
We estimated the fair value of the common stock
warrants, exercisable at $ 3.05 per share, to be $ 2,402 using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant inputs: common stock
price of $ 2.40 ; comparable company volatility of 87.9 %; remaining term five years ; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of
0.18 %.
Common Stock Warrants Issued to Placement
Agent in 2020 Registered Direct Offerings and Private Placement
In connection with the separate private placements
concurrent with registered direct offerings of shares of our common stock in January and March 2020, we issued to H.C. Wainwright &
Co., LLC, as placement agent, a warrant to purchase 13,228 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 13,313 shares of common stock.
The warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b)
of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. These warrants have substantially similar terms as the 2020 Warrants described above, except that
the placement agent warrant issued in January 2020 has an exercise price of $ 10.00 per share, and the placement agent warrant issued in
March 2020 has an exercise price of $ 3.7563 per share.
We estimated the fair value of the common stock
warrants issued in January, with an exercise price of $ 10.00 per share, to be $ 58 using a Black Scholes model based on the following significant
inputs: common stock price of $ 7.90 ; comparable company volatility of 73.8 %; remaining term five years ; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free

Common Stock Warrants Issued to Placement
Agent in March 2021 Registered Direct Offering
On March 23, 2021, we consummated a registered
direct offering with certain institutional investors and issued an aggregate of 1,975,000 shares of our common stock, par value $ 0.001
per share at a purchase price of $ 2.00 per share for gross proceeds to us of approximately $ 3.95 million, before deducting fees payable
to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. 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 our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225712).
In connection with the registered direct offering
in March 2021, we 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. We 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 five years ; dividend yield of 0 % and risk-free interest rate of 0.31 %.
Deemed Dividend Adjustment-Warrant Modified
Terms Revaluation
On March 3, 2020, we 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 outstanding warrants (“Original Warrants”),
we 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, we 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 .

We organized under the laws of the state of Nevada
on July 27, 2004 and subsequently reincorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 10, 2015. In connection with the
reincorporation, as approved by the stockholders, we changed our authorized capital stock to consist of (i) 100 million shares of common
stock, $ .001 par value, and (ii) 2 million shares of preferred stock, $ 0.001 par value, designated as Series A convertible preferred stock.
In December 2015, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation to change our authorized capital stock to provide for 15 million authorized
shares of preferred stock of which 7,515,000 was designated as Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $ .001 per share.
Prior to November 10, 2015, our authorized capital

Common Stock
We had 12,212,950 and 12,207,283 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we
issued 5,667 shares of common stock as follows:
● an aggregate of 5,000 shares in
connection with a restricted stock grant that was issued and vested on February 25, 2022 for services.
● an aggregate of 667 shares in
connection with a restricted stock grant that vested on May 4, 2022 for services.
Note 11 - Stock-Based Compensation
On June 12, 2018, our stockholders approved the
2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) to replace our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). On July
8, 2020, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance
under the 2018 Plan by 800,000 shares from 50,000 to 850,000 . In addition, up to 122,279 shares of our common stock previously reserved
for issuance under the 2015 Plan are available for issuance under the 2018 Plan to the extent such shares were available for issuance
under the 2015 Plan as of June 12, 2018 or thereafter cease to be subject to awards outstanding under the 2015 Plan, such as by expiration,
cancellation, or forfeiture of such awards.
On June 24, 2021, our stockholders approved an
amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 3,000,000 shares.
Stock options are generally issued with a per
share exercise price equal to no less than fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options granted under the 2018
Plan generally vest immediately, or ratably over a two- to 36-month period coinciding with their respective service periods. Options under
the 2018 Plan generally have a term of five years . Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon a change in control.
As of June 30, 2022, we had 2,457,600 shares of
common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Stock Options
We measure 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 us to make certain estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related to the expected
price volatility of our stock, the period during which the options will be outstanding, the rate of return on risk-free investments,
and the expected dividend yield for our stock.

Note 11 - Stock-Based Compensation –
(continued)
We did not issue any stock options in the three
months ended June 30, 2022.
The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model used to calculate the fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:
Expected volatility
77.0 %
Expected dividend yield
—
Expected term (in years)
3.5
Risk-free interest rate
1.7 %
The weighted average grant date fair value of
options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $ 0.444 per share, as per the table above.
Due to our 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 we do 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 our history and expectation of dividend payouts. We have not paid and
do not intend to pay dividends.

Legal Proceedings
In July 2020, Kennan E. Kaeder, our former corporate
general counsel (the “Plaintiff”), commenced an action against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, for the
County of San Diego. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we breached the Plaintiff’s employment contract with us, as
well as the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, by refusing to issue him the balance of stock options he claims we owe him.
In September 2021, the Plaintiff served us and also named the following individuals as defendants: Loretta Mayer, Cheryl Dyer, Thomas
C. Chesterman, Kim Wolin, Grover Wickersham, Marc Dumont, Bob Ramsey, Matthew Szot, Julia Williams, and Bill Baker. We do not believe
that all of the defendants have yet been served. The Plaintiff alleges that such individuals agreed to knowingly and wrongfully withhold
the stock options owed to him and are knowingly in receipt of stolen property. The Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages in excess of $ 500,000 ,
treble damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. We do not believe the claims described above have merit and intend to aggressively
defend against these accusations. We do not believe that this litigation is likely to have a material effect on our operations.
