CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this
“Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends impacting the financial
condition of our business. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will
not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking
statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as
of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results
to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include all statements
that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,”
“might,” “forecast,” “continue,” or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions and comparable
terminology intended to reference future periods. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
● Our ability to effectively
operate our business segment;
● Our ability to manage our research,
development, expansion, growth and operating expenses;
● Our ability to evaluate and
measure our business, prospects and performance metrics;
● Our ability to compete, directly
and indirectly, and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry;
● Our ability to respond and
adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior; and
● Our ability to protect our
intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed,
estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Factors or events that could cause our actual
results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements. Accordingly, the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should
not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements will occur or that our objectives and plans
will be achieved, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.

60 DEGREES PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was incorporated
in Delaware on June 1, 2022 and merged on the same day with 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a District of Columbia limited liability
company organized on September 9, 2010 (“60P LLC”). 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary (referred to collectively
as the “Company”, “60P”, or “60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that
specializes in the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. 60P achieved FDA
approval of its lead product, ARAKODA® (tafenoquine), for malaria prevention, in 2018. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development
covers development programs for tick-borne fungal and other viral diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (i)
new products that contain the Arakoda regimen of tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain tafenoquine; and (iii) celgosivir and/or
botanical extracts from Australian Chestnut Trees. The Company’s headquarters are located in Washington, D.C., with a majority-owned
subsidiary in Australia.
Initial Public Offering
On July 14, 2023, the Company closed its initial
public offering consisting of 23,585 units at a price of $ 318.00 per unit for $ 6,454,325 in net proceeds (the “IPO”). Each
unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.0001 per share, one tradeable warrant to purchase one share of
common stock at an exercise price of $ 365.70 per share (a “Tradeable Warrant”), and one non-tradeable warrant to purchase
one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 381.60 per share (a “Non-tradeable Warrant”). The Tradeable
Warrants and Non-Tradeable Warrants were immediately exercisable on the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance
(July 12, 2023 to July 12, 2028). The common stock and tradeable warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on July 12, 2023
under the symbols “SXTP” and “SXTPW,” respectively. The closing of the IPO occurred on July 14, 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies
in the biopharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the risks associated with developing product candidates and successfully
launching and commercializing its drug/device combination products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of such
products in the United States and other geography markets, the uncertainty of the broad adoption of its approved products by physicians
and consumers, and significant competition.
In addition, higher rates of inflation have resulted
in the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending
and volatility in financial markets, may further increase economic uncertainty and heighten these risks. Furthermore, if additional banks
and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking
system and financial markets, the Company or its partners’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may
be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including the Company’s
ability to access additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s ability
to pursue its business strategy.
Going Concern
The Company’s future results are subject to substantial risks
and uncertainties. Since its inception, the Company has not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating
expenses and has accumulated losses to date. At March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $ 3,451,500 , as compared
to cash and cash equivalents totaling $ 1,659,353 at December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company used
cash of $ 1,597,366 in its operating activities. The Company’s capital commitments over the next twelve months include interest payments
on the Company’s debt arrangement of $ 8,772 and $ 1,157,979 to satisfy accounts payable and accrued expenses.
To date, the Company has funded its operations
primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from
the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.
6
Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from the Company’s
single marketed product. To achieve profitability, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to fund its activities
relating to commercial support for its existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there
can be no assurance that it will ever achieve or maintain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these consolidated condensed financial statements
are issued.
Management plans to fund operations of the Company
through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent
offering until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that
are favorable to the Company. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting
or restricting the Company’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or
declaring dividends. If the Company raises funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, it may have
to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on
terms that may not be favorable to the Company and/or may reduce the value of its common stock. If the Company is unable to raise additional
funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or
future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market its product candidates even if the Company would otherwise prefer
to develop and market such product candidates itself.
As such, management concluded that such plans
do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these
consolidated condensed financial statements are issued.
The consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal
course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of 60P and its subsidiary
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The
Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements are unaudited and, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 due to various factors. These
consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as
filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). Certain information, footnote disclosures, and significant accounting
policies that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Annual Report have been omitted.
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 disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material. Significant estimates include
the reserve for inventory, the fair value of derivative liabilities, and stock-based compensation.

Reverse Stock Splits
Following stockholder approval in July 2024, the
Company effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1:12, which was effective as of August 12, 2024 (the “ 1:12 Reverse Stock Split”).
On November 6, 2024, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved an additional reverse stock split at a split ratio ranging
between 1:3 and 1:5, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. On February 10, 2025, the Board of Directors approved
a 1:5 reverse split ratio. On February 24, 2025, the Company effected the 1:5 reverse stock split (the “1:5 Reverse Stock Split”,
and together with the 1:12 Reverse Stock Split, the “Reverse Stock Splits”). Beginning February 24, 2025, the common stock
traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split adjusted basis.
Proportional adjustments were made to the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s equity awards, warrants, and other equity instruments
convertible into common stock, as well as the respective exercise prices, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the instruments.
Unless otherwise noted, all references to numbers of shares of the Company’s common stock and per share information presented in
these consolidated condensed financial statements have been retroactively adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits,
including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable,
inventory purchases, and borrowings.
Significant customers represent any customer whose
business makes up 10% of receivables or revenues. At March 31, 2025, significant customers represented 94 % of receivables (consisting
of five total customers and two significant customers at 81 % and 13 %, respectively), and 95 % of receivables at December 31, 2024 (consisting
of three customers and one significant customer). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, significant customers comprised 85 % of total
net product revenues (consisting of three total customers and one significant customer). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 99 %
of total net revenues (consisting of three customers and one significant customer) were generated from significant customers.
Currently, the Company has exclusive relationships
with distributors in Australia and Europe. A failure to perform by any of our current distributors would create disruption for patients
in those markets.
Since the Company first started working on tafenoquine
all inventory has been acquired in a collaborative relationship from a sole vendor. Should the vendor cease to supply tafenoquine it would
take significant costs and efforts to rebuild the supply chain with a new sole vendor sourcing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”).
Segment Information
Since its inception, the Company operates and
manages its business as a single identifiable segment, focused on the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and
prevention of infectious diseases. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information
regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive
Officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net income or loss for purposes of evaluating performance, making operating decisions,
allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The significant components of consolidated net income or loss regularly
provided to the CODM include net product revenues and the significant expense categories presented in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income (cost of revenues, research and development, and general and administrative expenses).
These are presented at the consolidated level and used by the CODM to monitor budgeted versus actual results to make key operating decisions.
The information and operating expense categories presented in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive
(Loss) Income are fully reflective of the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM.
8
The measure of segment assets that is regularly
reported to the CODM includes cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, each as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $ 3,451,500 and $ 3,387,825 as of March 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024, respectively.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company analyzes all financial instruments
with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”),
and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative financial instruments
is reassessed each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase
or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations, as a component of other income or expense as change in fair value
of derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, derivative liabilities consist of contingent payment arrangements. The Company uses a
probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt or equity
instrument in exchange for equity shares, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability
(generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the equity shares at fair value on the date of conversion, relieves all
related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if any.
Equity or liability instruments that become subject
to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Equity-Classified Warrants
As of March 31, 2025, the Company accounts for
all outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as equity-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific
terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. This assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial
instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet all of the requirements
for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether
the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control,
among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the
respective issuance dates and as of each subsequent reporting period while the warrants are outstanding.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is
transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those
goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
(ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is
satisfied. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company may be required to make significant judgments, including identifying
performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating
the transaction price to each performance obligation.
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the
net sales price, or “transaction price,” which may include estimates of variable consideration that result from product returns.
The Company determines the amount of variable consideration by using either the expected value method or the most-likely-amount method.
The Company includes the unconstrained amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price, which reflects the amount
for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting
period, the Company re-evaluates the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and
if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis
in the period of adjustment. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts the Company expects
to be earned or to be claimed on the related sales.
9
The Company receives the majority of its revenues
from sales of its Arakoda product to resellers in the US and abroad. The Company records US commercial revenues as a receivable when our
American distributor transfers shipped product to their title model for 60P. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are recognized
as a receivable at the point product is shipped to distributor. The shipments to Australia and Europe are further subject to profit sharing
agreements for boxes sold to customers.
Research and Development Costs
The Company accounts for research and development
costs in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Prepayments
for research and development services are deferred and amortized over the service period as the services are provided. Advance payments
for specific materials, equipment, or facilities determined to have no alternative future use are initially deferred and recognized as
research and development expense when the related goods are delivered.
The Company recorded $ 407,622 in research and
development expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($ 337,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2024). The Company has
also issued shares of common stock to nonemployees in exchange for research and development services. The Company recognizes prepaid research
and development costs on the grant date, as defined in FASB ASC Subtopic No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation . See Note 10
for further details.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial
instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
and accrued expenses) approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.
The inputs used to measure fair value are based
on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used in valuation techniques. These levels, in order of highest to
lowest priority, are described below:
Level 1
-
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
-
Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3
-
Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The Company’s financial instruments recorded
at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include the derivative liability associated with the contingent
milestone payment due to Knight upon a future sale of Arakoda or a Change of Control, which is carried at fair value based on Level 3
inputs. The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of the contingent milestone payment
using significant inputs such as the timing and probability of discrete potential exit scenarios, forward interest rate curves, and discount
rates based on implied and market yields. See Note 8 for more information on Derivative Liabilities.

Liabilities measured at fair value at March 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented in Note 8 (Derivative
Liabilities).
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring
Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis. The Company’s non-financial assets, including Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment, are measured at fair value when
there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets
are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses) approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. Certificates
of deposit, classified as cash equivalents or short-term investments depending on the instrument’s original time to maturity, are
measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The individual financial statements of each group
entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency).
The consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional currency
of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated condensed financial statements.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated condensed
financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are mostly translated at exchange rates prevailing
on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate
significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising,
if any, are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) as Unrealized Foreign Currency Translation Gain or Loss.

Exchange rates along with historical rates used
in these financial statements are as follows:

Reclassifications
Certain prior period interim amounts have been
reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the consolidated
condensed results of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity, or cash flows.
Share-Based Payments
On November 22, 2022, the Company adopted the
2022 Equity Incentive Plan also referred to as (“2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan and related share-based awards are discussed more
fully in Note 10.
The Company accounts for share-based payments
in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company measures compensation
for all share-based payment awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards
on the date of grant. For awards that vest based on continued service, the service-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation
expense recognized on a straight-line basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative
amount of compensation expense recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms
of the share-based awards is established. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company estimates the fair value of all stock
option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves
assumptions, including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected
term of the option. Due to the lack of a public market for the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific
historical implied volatility data, the Company has based its computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative
group of public companies with similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical
volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. The Company generally uses the simplified
method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment , to estimate the expected term for stock
options, whereby, the expected term equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual
term of the options due to its lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, the Company’s best
estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with
a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the
Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on its common stock. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application
of significant judgment.
Compensation expense for restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation
cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of the Company’s
common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded.
For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or
a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation
expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is achieved, at which time the cumulative compensation expense is
recognized. Compensation cost related to any remaining time-based service for share-based awards after the liquidity-based event is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.
For fully vested,
nonforfeitable equity instruments that are granted at the date the Company and a nonemployee enter into an agreement for goods or services,
the Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date. The corresponding cost is recognized as an immediate
expense or a prepaid asset and expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with
the nonemployee. See Note 10 for further details.
12
Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Net (Loss) Income per Common Share is computed
by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
period. The Company includes pre-funded warrants, which carry a nominal exercise price per share, in its computation of basic and diluted
net loss per share beginning on the date of issuance. The cumulative dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock during the period
are reflected as an addition to net loss or a reduction of net income in determining basic and diluted net (loss) income attributable
to common stockholders.
As the Company reported a net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, the calculation of diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share. For
the three months ended March 31, 2024, all securities that could potentially dilute basic net income per share in the future have been
excluded from the diluted calculation because the effect would be antidilutive.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Splits, which
were effective as of August 12, 2024 at a ratio of 1:12 and February 24, 2025 at a ratio of 1:5 , all shares of outstanding common stock
and net (loss) income per common share calculations have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company
if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with
the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal
owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly
influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests.
Subsequent Events
The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance
sheet date, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify
matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through May 15, 2025, which is the date the financial
statements were issued. See Note 12.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB issues Accounting
Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. The Company regularly evaluates new ASUs to determine
the impact that these pronouncements may have on the consolidated condensed financial statements. Other than the pronouncements listed
below, the Company believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, or (iii)
are not applicable to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements or related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which expands annual
and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses
and segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under
ASC 280, including the new required disclosures under the ASU. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on a retrospective basis for the 2024 annual
period, and for interim periods beginning in 2025. The impact is limited to the Company’s financial statement disclosures, which
are presented in the Segment Information section above.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) which requires disaggregated information
about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
13
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which applies to all public business entities that file financial statements with
the SEC. The amendments in this ASU require public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information
about certain income statement expense line items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with
early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation of
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company’s authorized shares consist of (a) 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.0001
per share and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of which 80,965 have been designated as Series A Non-Voting
Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). As of March 31, 2025, 1,472,891 shares of Common Stock and 76,480
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.
Following stockholder approval in July 2024, on
July 30, 2024, the Company filed an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect the
1:12 Reverse Stock Split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which was effective as of August 12,
2024. As of the effective time of the 1:12 Reverse Stock Split, every twelve (12) issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock were automatically combined and converted into one (1) issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.
Following stockholder approval in November 2024,
on February 18, 2025, the Company filed an additional Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware
to effect the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which was effective as
of February 24, 2025. As of the effective time of the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split, every five (5) issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock were automatically combined and converted into one (1) issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.
No fractional shares of common stock were issued
in connection with the Reverse Stock Splits. All fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share with respect to outstanding
shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Splits did not change the authorized number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, the
par value of the common stock, or the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All references to numbers of
shares of the Company’s common stock and per share information in these consolidated condensed financial statements have been retroactively
adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of
common stock to additional paid-in capital.

Series A Preferred Stock
The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
have the rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations as set forth below.
Voting Rights - The holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting rights.
Dividends - From and after the date of
issuance of any share of Series A Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether
or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 6.0 % per annum on the
sum of the Liquidation Value (as defined below). Accrued dividends shall be paid in cash only when, as and if declared by the Board out
of funds legally available therefor or upon a liquidation or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. On March 31 of each calendar
year, any accrued and unpaid dividends shall accumulate and compound on such date, and are cumulative until paid or converted. Holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive accrued and accumulated dividends prior to and in preference to any dividend,
distribution, or redemption on shares of Common Stock or any other class of securities that is designated as junior to the Series A Preferred
Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, dividends in the amount of $ 118,158 accrued on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock ($ 117,881 during the three months ended March 31, 2024). As of March 31, 2025, cumulative dividends on outstanding shares of Series
A Preferred Stock amount to $ 822,173 . To date, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends.
Liquidation Rights - In the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding will share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Company with all other stockholders as if
each share of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted by the Company to Common Stock as described below.
Conversion Rights - The Company has the
right, in its sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including any fraction
of a share), plus the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon into a number of shares of Common Stock determined
by (i) multiplying the number of shares to be converted by $ 100 per share, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations
or similar transactions with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock (but unchanged as a result of the Reverse Stock Splits impacting
the common stock on August 12, 2024 and February 24, 2025) (the “Liquidation Value”), (ii) plus all accrued and accumulated
and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (ii) dividing the result by the then-effective Conversion Price in effect,
provided that such conversion would not result in the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock owning more than 19.9 % of the outstanding
shares of common stock on an as-converted basis. The “Conversion Price” is equal to the lesser of (a) the Liquidation Value,
(b) the offering price per share of Common Stock in the Company’s IPO, as adjusted for the 1:12 Reverse Stock Split after August
12, 2024 and the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split after February 24, 2025 , or $ 300 per share, or (c) the 10-day volume weighted average price per
share of Common Stock, as reasonably determined by the Company.

8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815,
derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value at the commitment date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period,
with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations within other income/expense as the change in fair
value of derivative liabilities.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, derivative
liabilities consist of the contingent milestone payment due to Knight Therapeutics, Inc. (“Knight”), a former lender of the
Company, as required by the Debt Conversion Agreement executed between the Company and Knight on January 9, 2023, as subsequently amended
(the “Knight Debt Conversion Agreement”). Key points of this agreement were as follows:
● The Parties agreed to fix Knight’s
cumulative debt to the value as it stood on March 31, 2022, which consisted of principal and accumulated interest. As a result
of the completion of the IPO, the cumulative outstanding principal as of March 31, 2022 converted to 18,473 shares of common stock (representing
19.9 % ownership of the Company’s common stock after giving effect to the IPO), and the entirety of the accumulated interest as
of March 31, 2022 converted into 80,965 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations with
respect to the outstanding principal and accumulated interest.
● The Parties agreed that the
Company will make a milestone payment of $ 10 million to Knight if, after the IPO, the Company sells Arakoda™ or if a Change of
Control (as per the definition included in the original loan agreement dated on December 10, 2015) occurs, provided that the purchaser
of Arakoda™ or individual or entity gaining control of the Borrower is not the Lender or an affiliate of the Lender.
● For the period ending upon
the earlier of (i) 10 years after the closing of the IPO, or (ii) the conversion or redemption in full of the Series A Preferred Stock,
the Company will pay to Knight a royalty equal to 3.5 % of the Company’s net sales (the “Royalty”) on a quarterly basis,
where “Net Sales” has the same meaning as in the Company’s license agreement with the U.S. Army for tafenoquine.
Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company concluded
that the contingent milestone payment is a freestanding financial instrument that meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815,
and accordingly, the fair value of the derivative liability is marked to market each reporting period until settled. The Royalty due to
Knight was determined to be an embedded component of the Series A Preferred Stock, however, is exempt from derivative accounting under
the ASC 815 scope exception for specified volumes of sales or service revenues. Therefore, the Company accrues a royalty expense as sales
are made.
The valuation of the contingent milestone payment
includes significant unobservable inputs such as the timing and probability of discrete potential exit scenarios, forward interest rate
curves, and discount rates based on implied and market yields.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances
for the derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows
for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a net change in the fair of derivative liabilities of ($ 5,105 ) and
($ 1,740,847 ), respectively.
9. INCOME TAXES
The Company did not record a federal income tax
provision or benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 due to taxable losses. The Company recorded a provision for income
taxes for DC of $ 63 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, thereby reflecting the minimum statutory tax due ($ 63 for the three months
ended March 31, 2024).
10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The following is a summary of share-based compensation
expenses reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three months ended March

Share-Based Compensation under 2022 Equity Incentive Plan
On November 22, 2022, the Company adopted the
2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants, to be granted from time to time
by the Board of Directors of the Company. To date, the Company has granted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, stock options
to employees, non-employees, and directors under the 2022 Plan. As of March 31, 2025, the number of remaining shares available for issuance
under the 2022 Plan is equal to 57,068 .
Stock Options
The Company grants stock options to employees,
non-employees, and directors with exercise prices equal to the closing price of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock
on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date that the options are granted. Options granted generally have a term of five to ten years from
the grant date and are subject to vesting as determined in the individual award agreement. The Company estimates the fair value of stock
options on the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model.
20
During the three months ended March 31, 2025,
the Company granted a total of 120,000 stock options to two executives at a per share exercise price of $ 6.55 . These options are subject
to vesting annually in five equal tranches, with the first 20 % tranche fully vested on the date of grant and thereafter, vest on the last
date of each fiscal year beginning December 31, 2025. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months
ended March 31, 2025 was $ 4.55 . There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes the significant
assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
For the Three Months Ended March 31,
2025 2024
Weighted-average grant date fair value $ 4.55 N/A
Risk-free interest rate 4.36 % N/A
Expected volatility 90.00 % N/A
Expected term (years) 4.50 N/A
Expected dividend yield 0.00 % N/A
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the
Company recognized $ 142,645 of compensation expense related to stock option awards ($ 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024).
Restricted Stock Units
Compensation cost for service-based RSUs is based
on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date multiplied
by the number of shares awarded.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and
2024, 0 shares of common stock underlying RSUs vested and no RSUs were granted. The Company recognized $0 of compensation expense related
to vested RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Annual Performance Bonus
In December 2024,
the Board approved the payment of 2024 performance bonuses to executives of the Company. Each executive was provided the option of receiving
up to $ 20,000 in cash, with the remainder paid in shares of common stock determined based on the closing market price on January 2, 2025.
On January 20, 2025, the Company issued a total of 15,809 shares of common stock to the executives in settlement of the share-based portion
of the 2024 performance bonuses. Approximately 2,748 shares were withheld to cover payroll tax withholdings.
Share-Based Payments to Vendors for Services
In 2023, the Company issued shares of common stock
as share-based payments to certain vendors in exchange for services to be rendered to the Company in the future. For fully vested, nonforfeitable
equity instruments that are granted at the date the Company and a nonemployee enter into an agreement for goods or services, the Company
recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments as a prepaid asset on the grant date, as defined in ASC 718. The corresponding cost
is expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee. As of March
31, 2025, the remaining unamortized balance of prepaid assets related to these share-based payments for which the grant date criteria
has been met and the services are expected to be rendered within one year is $ 306,181 ($ 306,181 at December 31, 2024), which is presented
as a component of Prepaid and Other Assets on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The unamortized balance of noncurrent
prepaid assets related to these share-based payments for which the services are expected to be rendered beyond one year is $ 22,059 ($ 66,176
at December 31, 2024), reported in Long-Term Prepaid Expense on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
The agreements with the nonemployees do not include
any provisions to claw back the share-based payments in the event of nonperformance by the nonemployees. Subject to applicable federal
and state securities laws, the nonemployees can sell the received equity instruments.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company is a party to a single lease for its
office space located in Washington, DC, which was most recently renewed for an additional one-year term that expires March 31, 2026. As
the term of the office lease is 12 months, the lease is not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense on this
lease as short-term lease costs. Operating lease costs, including short-term leases, were in the amount of $ 4,967 and $ 14,053 for the
three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Board of Directors
In November and December 2022, the Company signed
agreements with four director nominees (Cheryl Xu, Paul Field, Charles Allen, and Stephen Toovey) which came into effect on July 11, 2023,
the date the Company’s Registration Statement was declared effective. Each director is entitled to receive cash compensation of
$ 11,250 quarterly. In addition, the two non-audit committee chairs (Toovey, Field) will receive $ 1,250 per quarter and the audit committee
chair (Allen) will receive an additional $ 2,000 per quarter. In addition, each director is entitled to receive annual equity-based compensation
awards, with the amounts and terms to be determined by the Compensation Committee.
Contingencies
The Company’s operations are subject to
a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions
on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations.
Contingent Compensation
Following the Company’s IPO and the conversion
of the outstanding debt pursuant to the Knight Debt Conversion Agreement as discussed in Note 8, the Company is obligated to pay Knight
a contingent milestone payment of $ 10 million if the Company sells Arakoda or if a Change of Control occurs. The Company accounts for
the contingent milestone payment as a derivative liability (See Note 8).
On July 15, 2015, the Company entered into the
Exclusive License Agreement with the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (the “U.S. Army”), which was subsequently
amended (the “U.S. Army Agreement”), in which the Company obtained a license to develop and commercialize the licensed technology
with respect to all therapeutic applications and uses excluding radical cure of symptomatic vivax malaria. The term of the U.S. Army Agreement
will continue until the expiration of the last to expire of the patent application or valid claim of the licensed technology, or 20 years
from the start date of the U.S. Army Agreement, unless terminated earlier by the parties. The Company must make a minimum annual royalty
payment of 3 % of Net Sales (as defined in the U.S. Army Agreement) for Net Sales less than $ 35 million, and 5 % of Net Sales greater than
$ 35 million, with US government sales excluded from the definition of Net Sales. In addition, the Company must pay fees upon the achievement
of certain milestones. The Company accrues the minimum annual royalty when the related sales occur. The achievement of the remaining milestones
under the U.S. Army Agreement are not considered probable and thus no accruals for the related milestone payments have been made.
On December 20, 2024, the Company entered into
a Patent License Agreement with Tufts Medical Center (“Tufts MC”), in which the Company obtained a license to research and
commercialize the licensed technology with respect the use of tafenoquine for treatment and/or prevention of babesiosis (the “Tufts
MC Agreement”). The term of the Tufts MC Agreement will continue until the expiration or final abandonment of the last patent application
or issued patent for the use of tafenoquine for treatment and/or prevention of babesiosis, unless terminated earlier by the parties. On
the earlier of (x) the date of patent issuance or (y) the date of regulatory approval for the use of tafenoquine product in treatment
of babesiosis, the Company must make royalty payments equal to 4 % of Net Sales (as defined in the Tufts MC Agreement) for tafenoquine
sold in a format labeled for use in the treatment of babesiosis or 2 % of Net Sales for 60P products that are not sold in a format labeled
for use in the treatment of babesiosis. In addition, for all sublicense revenue received by 60P from sales of sublicensed products, the
Company must make royalty payments equal to 20 % of the revenue received by the Company for sales of tafenoquine sold in a format labeled
for use in the treatment of babesiosis or 10 % for sales of tafenoquine that are not sold in a format labeled for use in the treatment
of babesiosis. As of March 31, 2025, the royalty period has not commenced, thus no accruals have been made.
Litigation, Claims and Assessments
From time to time, the Company may be involved
in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2025, there were no pending
or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through
May 15, 2025, which is the date the financial statements were issued. There have been no events or transactions during this time which

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended
as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion
should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the other information set forth in certain of our filings
with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. In addition
to historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed
with the SEC.
Overview
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company with
a goal of using cutting-edge biological science and applied research to further develop and commercialize new therapies for the prevention
and treatment of infectious diseases. We have successfully achieved regulatory approval of Arakoda® (“Arakoda”), a malaria
preventative treatment that has been on the market since late 2019. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development covers development
programs for vector-borne, fungal, and viral diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (i) new products that contain
the Arakoda regimen of Tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain Tafenoquine; and (iii) Celgosivir and/or botanical extracts from Australian
Chestnut Trees.
Following our initial public offering in July
2023, our initial strategic priority was to conduct a Phase IIB study that would have evaluated the potential of the Arakoda regimen of
Tafenoquine to accelerate disease recovery in COVID-19 patients with low risk of disease progression. In October 2023, we made a decision
to suspend this study. This was a consequence of advice previously received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which we
interpreted to mean that the agency would not have granted clearance for the study to proceed unless we redesigned it to (i) enroll a
patient population in which receipt of Paxlovid or Lagevrio would be medically contraindicated, or (ii) compare Tafenoquine to placebo
in patients taking a “standard of care” regimen (defined by the FDA as Lagevrio or Paxlovid). The FDA’s position was
somewhat surprising given that neither Paxlovid nor Lagevrio is indicated for treatment of COVID-19 in low-risk patients. We determined
that conducting our study in an alternate population in the United States would be unfeasible, and that conducting an add-on-to standard
of care study might not be Phase III enabling. Accordingly, we made a decision to pivot back to continue commercialization of Arakoda
for malaria, and further evaluation of the Arakoda regimen of Tafenoquine for babesiosis and other diseases. We believe such an approach
is both less risky and less expensive.
Moving forward, our general strategy to achieve
profitability and grow shareholder value has three facets: (i) increase sales of Arakoda; (ii) conduct clinical trials to expand the number
of patients who can use Tafenoquine for new indications in the future; and (iii) reposition small molecule therapeutics with good clinical
safety profiles for new indications.
Business Developments
The following highlights significant business
developments in our business during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
● On January 8, 2025, we announced that the first patient has been enrolled in NCT06478641, an expanded
access clinical study intended to confirm the activity of tafenoquine in treating patients with persistent babesiosis who have failed
standard of care treatment and are at high risk of experiencing a relapse.
● On January 20, 2025, we issued a total of 15,809 shares of common stock and paid $60,000 in cash to our
executives in settlement of 2024 performance bonuses, as approved by our Board in December 2024.
23
● On January 28, 2025, we announced the approval by an Investigational Review Board (IRB) of a new Phase
II clinical study. The study (NCT06656351) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ARAKODA® regimen (tafenoquine) over 90 days
for treating patients with a presumptive diagnosis of chronic babesiosis who have experienced severe fatigue with significant functional
impairment for at least six months upon enrollment. Patient enrollment is expected to begin in Q3 2025.
● In February 2025, the FDA authorized the importation of Kodatef from Australia, to cover any future disruption
of Arakoda in the U.S. market. Kodatef is the branded version of tafenoquine for malaria prevention approved by the TGA for use in Australia.
The Company made this request of the FDA due to robust demand for Arakoda in late 2024 and early 2025, and the potential for delays in
the completion of new lots of Arakoda currently being commercially validated by our key supplier, PCI. Although we anticipate that new
commercial Arakoda lots will enter the supply chain prior to the exhaustion of existing inventory, Kodatef will be available to cover
any shortage through a specialty pharmacy that already carries Arakoda, and has the capacity to ship to customers in all 50 states.
● We issued an aggregate of 385,200 shares of common stock during the quarter upon the exercise of 385,200
pre-funded warrants issued in September 2024, resulting in proceeds of $1,926.
1:5 Reverse Stock Split
On November 6, 2024, our Board of Directors (“Board”)
approved a reverse stock split of our common stock at a split ratio ranging between 1:3 and 1:5, as determined by the Board in its sole
discretion. On November 6, 2024, a majority of our stockholders approved the proposed reverse stock split. On February 10, 2025, the Board
approved a 1-for-5 reverse split ratio. On February 18, 2025, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation,
as corrected, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that provides for a 1-for-12 split. On February 24, 2025, we effectuated
a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of our common stock (the “1:5 Reverse Stock Split”). Beginning February 24, 2025, our common
stock traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split adjusted basis.
As a result of the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split, proportional
adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of our equity awards, warrants, and
other equity instruments convertible into common stock, as well as the respective exercise prices, if applicable in accordance with the
terms of the instruments. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split and all fractional
shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share with respect to outstanding shares of common stock. Unless otherwise noted, all references
to numbers of shares of our common stock and per share information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the effects of the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split.
January 2025 Offering
On January 28, 2025, we entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “January
2025 Purchasers”) pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 204,312 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $5.105 per share
in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). In a concurrent
private placement, we also issued to the January 2025 Purchasers unregistered warrants (the “January 2025 Warrants”) to purchase
up to an aggregate of 408,621 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.855 per share. The January 2025 Warrants are exercisable
upon issuance and expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance.
The shares were offered pursuant to a “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-280796), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on July 18, 2024 as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated January 28, 2025, filed with the SEC on January
30, 2025, and accompanying base prospectus, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement
Agent”) acted as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering. Pursuant to the terms of the placement agent agreement,
we paid the Placement Agent a cash transaction fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering and a management
fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering. In addition, we paid for certain non-accountable expenses in the
amount of $15,000 and a clearing fee in the amount of $10,000. We also issued to the Placement Agent (or its designees) warrants to purchase
up to 15,325 shares of common stock (the “January 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”). The January 2025 Placement Agent Warrants
have an exercise price equal to $6.382 per share and are exercisable upon issuance and expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance.
24
The registered direct offering and the concurrent
private placement (collectively, the “January 2025 Offering”) closed on January 30, 2025, resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$804,346, after deducting estimated offering expenses paid by us, including the Placement Agent fees.
Pursuant to the January 2025 Securities Purchase
Agreement, within 45 days from the date of the January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement, we were required to file a registration statement
with the SEC providing for the resale by the January 2025 Purchasers of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the January
2025 Warrants. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 2, 2025. The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no January 2025 Purchaser owns any January 2025 Warrants or shares
underlying the January 2025 Warrants issuable upon exercise thereof.
February 2025 Offering
On February 5, 2025, we entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “February
2025 Purchasers”) pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 300,700 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.575 per share
in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under the rules of Nasdaq. In a concurrent private placement, we also issued to the
February 2025 Purchasers unregistered warrants (the “February 2025 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 300,700 shares
of common stock at an exercise price of $2.95 per share. The February 2025 Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and expire twenty-four
months from the date of issuance.
The shares were offered pursuant to a “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-280796), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on July 18, 2024 as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated February 5, 2025, filed with the SEC on February
6, 2025 and accompanying base prospectus, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Placement Agent acted as our exclusive placement
agent in connection with the offering. Pursuant to the terms of the placement agent agreement, we paid the Placement Agent a cash transaction
fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross cash
proceeds in the offering. In addition, we paid for certain non-accountable expenses in the amount of $15,000 and a clearing fee in the
amount of $10,000. We also issued to the Placement Agent (or its designees) warrants to purchase up to 22,554 shares of Common Stock (the
“February 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”). The February 2025 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $4.469
per share and are exercisable upon issuance and expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance.
The registered direct offering and the concurrent
private placement (collectively, the “February 2025 Offering”) closed on February 6, 2025, resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$908,627, after deducting estimated offering expenses paid by us, including the Placement Agent fees.
Pursuant to the February 2025 Securities Purchase
Agreement, within 45 days from the date of the February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement, we were required to file a registration statement
with the SEC providing for the resale by the February 2025 Purchasers of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the February
2025 Warrants. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 2, 2025. The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no February 2025 Purchaser owns any February 2025 Warrants or
shares underlying the February 2025 Warrants issuable upon exercise thereof.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,451,500
($1,659,353 as of December 31, 2024). For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our net cash used in operating activities was
$1,597,366 and $1,140,438, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of common stock, warrants
to purchase common stock, and proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and promissory notes. Based on current internal projections,
taking into consideration the net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million received under the ATM Agreement, an additional $5.127 million
in cumulative net proceeds received from the September 2024 Private Placement and the January and February 2025 Offerings, and recent
growth in Arakoda sales, we estimate that we will have sufficient funds to remain viable through August 31, 2025, excluding the additional
costs of conducting the Phase II study for chronic babesiosis patients (currently being planned), and assuming no additional capital raises.
We cannot give assurance that we can increase our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances
for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently
experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional
capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
25
Going Concern
In their audit report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, our auditors have expressed their concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain financing. The audited consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included an explanatory note referring to our recurring operating losses and
expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future results are subject to substantial
risks and uncertainties. Since our inception, we have not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating
expenses and we have accumulated losses to date. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock
and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings
under loan and security agreements.
Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon
our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from our single marketed product.
To achieve profitability, we expect we will need to raise additional capital to fund our activities relating to commercial support for
our existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will
ever achieve or maintain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
We plan to fund our operations through third party
and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent offering until such
a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that we will
be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to us. Debt financing
and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific
actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations,
or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams,
research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our
common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit,
reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates
even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.
As such, we have concluded that such plans do
not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the accompanying financial
statements are issued.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations
in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may
be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

these amounts will become due.
Components of Results of Operations
Product Revenues - net of Discounts and
Rebates
We receive the majority of our product revenues
from sales of our Arakoda product to resellers in the U.S. and abroad. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are further subject
to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers. Sales to resellers in the US are subject to considerable discounts and rebates
for services provided by our third-party logistics (“3PL”) partner and wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”).
Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, and Gross
Margin
Cost of revenues associated with our products
is primarily comprised of direct materials, shipping, manufacturing-related costs incurred in the production process, serialization costs,
and inventory write-downs due to expiration.
Other Operating Revenues
Other operating revenues for the periods presented
include research revenue earned from the Australian Tax Authority for research activities conducted in Australia. Beginning in the third
quarter of 2024, we began to recognize research revenues associated with our new contract with the United States Army Medical Materiel
Development Activity (USAMMDA) for Arakoda supply chain upgrade support. Research revenue under this contract is recognized when we incur
the direct costs eligible for reimbursement, up to the maximum allowable amount.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development costs for the periods
presented primarily consist of contracted R&D services and costs associated with preparation for and conducting our Babesiosis trial.
We expense all research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or
services to be used in research and development are recognized as prepaid assets and expensed over the service period as the services
are provided. We have also issued shares of our common stock to vendors in exchange for research and development services.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily
consist of salaries, advertising and promotion expenses, professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, accounting and legal fees,
general corporate costs and allocated costs, including facilities, information technology and amortization of intangibles.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
We earn interest income from cash invested in
interest-bearing accounts, as well as cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting of certificates of deposits with original
maturities ranging from three to six months. Interest expense for the periods presented is limited to a single $150,000 SBA loan that
bears interest at 3.75%. Other components of other income (expense) include changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and other
miscellaneous income or expenses.

Product Revenues - net of Discounts and Rebates
Our product revenues - net of discounts and rebates were $163,552 for
the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $105,674 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March
31, 2025, our U.S. pharmaceutical distributor and Infuserve America accounted for 85% and 6% of our total net product sales of Arakoda,
respectively, and Kodatef sales to our Australian distributor accounted for 9% of total net product sales (99%, 0%, and 1% for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, respectively). Domestic, commercial product sales are primarily driving increased sales volume during the
period.
We offer discounts and rebates to the civilian
U.S. supply chain distribution channel. We record sales when our 3PL partner transfers boxes into their title model. Discounts and rebates
offered to our 3PL partner amount to 12% (lower rates available upon reaching larger revenue tiers) along with a $5,500 fixed monthly
fee. The product is then transferred usually to one of the three large U.S. pharmaceutical distributors where rebates are 10%. Lastly,
we have relationships with several large pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) that allow patients to purchase Arakoda at a discount.
The rebate associated with PBMs ranges from 30% to 41.25% depending on the amount of coverage provided. For the three months ended March
31, 2025, discounts and rebates were $91,401 compared to $94,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Arakoda entered the U.S. civilian supply chain
in the third quarter of 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 1,022 boxes were sold to pharmacies and dispensaries. Sales volume
increased by 55% to 1,579 boxes sold to pharmacies and dispensaries for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Based on IQVIA data, this
growth in sales volume appears to be driven primarily by organic growth in the Lyme disease community, whose prescribers utilize Arakoda
for treatment of babesiosis. The sales volume growth to pharmacies and dispensaries ties more closely to the growth in discounts and rebates
previously discussed than our reported sales to our 3PL.
Kodatef sales to our distributor Biocelect in
Australia for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $12,066 ($1,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2024). A historical portion
of sales to Biocelect remain subject to a profit share distribution once the original transfer price has been recouped. Biocelect, which
acts as a distributor in the Australian and New Zealand market, reported (42%) year-over-year decline, the equivalent of 386 boxes sold
for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 665 boxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, Biocelect’s
unsold inventory that remains subject to profit share was the equivalent of 109.5 boxes. Additionally, under a new agreement executed
during the quarter, Biocelect began to purchase from the latest manufactured lot of Kodatef at $45 AUD per box which are not subject to
historical profit share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, 200 boxes of Kodatef were sold to Biocelect. As of March 31, 2025, $5,826
of profit share was due to us ($1,004 as of March 31, 2024).
Arakoda sales volume in Europe continues to grow.
We first shipped Arakoda to our distributor Scandinavian Biopharma (“SB”) in September 2022. For the three months ended March
31, 2025, SB reported 73 boxes sold (27 boxes sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024). According to our distributor, this is due
to greater interest in treating babesiosis.
29
Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues was $73,272 for the three months ended March 31, 2025,
as compared to $65,437 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily driven by the inflationary
increase in fixed COGS charges for serialization and inventory material charges. Despite the increase, the Gross Margin % increased from
38.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 55.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This is primarily attributable to
the growth in revenues. As the sales volume has increased, the gross margin has improved as the variable cost of goods of each unit sold
is substantially less than the sales price.

revenues is due to the new USAMMDA contract we were awarded in July 2024 to facilitate commercial validation of a new bottle and replacement
blister packaging of Arakoda. We recognized research revenues of $77,966 related to this grant for the three months ended March 31, 2025
($0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024). We also recognized research revenues from the Australian Tax Authority for research activities
conducted in Australia of $5,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($29,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2024).

trial-related costs represent 68% of the total research and development costs at $275,633 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared
to 55% of the costs at $186,091 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We also recorded $63,015 in research and development expenses
related to commercial validation and packaging of Arakoda, for which a majority qualifies for reimbursement under the USAMMDA grant discussed
above.

General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our general and administrative
expenses increased by approximately 57% or $611,130 from the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025,
we incurred significantly higher sales, advertising and promotion expenses and investor outreach expenses at $285,287 and $393,687 for
the three months ended March 31, 2025, up from $104,064 and $182,164 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally,
for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $142,645 in stock-based compensation expense ($0 for the three months ended March
31, 2024). This increase was in part due to new partially vested option grants awarded to two executives in January 2025, as well as the
quarterly expense recognized for additional stock options granted in the third quarter of 2024.

Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we
recognized $1,790 of interest expense ($1,402 for the three months ended March 31, 2024). Our interest expense for the periods presented
relates entirely to our single outstanding loan from the SBA. Cash paid for interest expense was $2,193 and $2,193 for the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we
recognized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $5,105 compared to $1,740,847 for the three months ended March
31, 2024. During the periods presented, derivative liabilities include the contingent milestone payment due to Knight upon a future sale
of Arakoda or a Change of Control. We use a probability-weighted expected return method to estimate the fair value of this derivative
liability.
Other Income, net
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $30,322 in
other income compared to $31,051 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized interest
income from cash invested in interest-bearing accounts and investments in certificates of deposit of $31,897 ($21,888 for the three months
ended March 31, 2024). Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 also includes $10,789 of storage revenue recognized in association
with final payment under the legacy contract with the USAMMDA for storing Arakoda purchases. We did not recognize storage revenue for
the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,597,366 for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1,140,438 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our net cash used in operating activities
increased, primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses at $1,686,264 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($1,075,134
for the three months ended March 31, 2024), as a result of higher sales, advertising and promotion costs and investor outreach expenses,
as discussed above. In addition, we incurred higher research and development costs at $407,622 for the three months ended March 31, 2025
($337,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2024), primarily related to conducting our tafenoquine-babesiosis trial.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was
$1,702,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $9,814 for the three months
ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received proceeds of $1,708,000 from maturities of certain short-term
investments in certificates of deposit ($0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024). The cash proceeds are partially offset by higher
capitalized patent costs of $2,804 and fixed asset purchases of $2,678 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($726 and $0 for the
three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively). However, we did not capitalize website development costs for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 ($9,088 capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 associated with enhancements to the functionality of our
corporate website).
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$1,696,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1,903,291 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease
in net cash provided by financing activities is mainly attributable to net proceeds of $1,898,296 received in connection with our common
stock and warrant offering in January 2024, which exceeded the aggregate net proceeds of $1,712,973 received in connection with our common
stock and warrant offerings completed in January 2025 and February 2025. We also received lower proceeds from the exercise of warrants
at $1,926 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4,995 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, for the
three months ended March 31, 2025, we withheld shares valued at $18,000 to cover tax withholdings for net share settlement of certain
2024 performance bonuses awarded to our executives ($0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024).
Effect of Foreign Currency Translation on Cash
Our foreign operations were small relative to
U.S. operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, thus effects of foreign currency translation have been minor.
Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments,
and 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 disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred
to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition
is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification
of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price
to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. As part
of the accounting for these arrangements, we may be required to make significant judgments, including identifying performance obligations
in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price
to each performance obligation.
32
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the
net sales price, or “transaction price,” which may include estimates of variable consideration that result from product returns.
We determine the amount of variable consideration by using either the expected value method or the most-likely-amount method. We include
the unconstrained amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price, which reflects the amount for which it is probable
that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate
the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate
of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment. Reserves
are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts we expect to be earned or to be claimed on the related
sales.
We record U.S. commercial revenues as a receivable
when our American distributor transfers shipped product to their title model for 60P. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are recognized
as a receivable at the point product is shipped to distributor. The shipments to Australia and Europe are further subject to profit sharing
agreements for boxes sold to customers.
Share-Based Payments
We account for share-based payments in accordance
with ASC Subtopic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). We measure compensation for all share-based payment
awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. For awards
that vest based on continued service, the service-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line
basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative amount of compensation expense
recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms of the share-based awards is established.
We account for forfeitures as they occur.
We estimate the fair value of all stock option
awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions,
including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of
the option. Due to the lack of a public market for our common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific historical implied volatility
data, we base our computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of public companies with
similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical volatility is calculated based
on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. We generally use the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment , to estimate the expected term for stock options, whereby, the expected term
equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual term of the options due to our
lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, our best estimate of the expected term is the contractual
term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected
term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have never paid dividends and have no current plans
to pay any dividends on our common stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best
estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of significant judgment.
We recognize compensation expense for restricted
stock units (“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation
cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of our common stock
on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded.
For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or
a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation
expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is achieved, at which time the cumulative compensation expense is
recognized. Compensation cost related to any remaining time-based service for share-based awards after the liquidity-based event is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.
33
For fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments
that are granted at the date we enter into an agreement for goods or services with a nonemployee, we recognize the fair value of the equity
instruments on the grant date. The corresponding cost is recognized as an immediate expense or a prepaid asset and expensed over the service
period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee.
Derivative Liabilities
We analyze all financial instruments with features
of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic
815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative financial instruments is reassessed each
reporting period. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in
the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. As of March
31, 2025, derivative liabilities consist of contingent payment arrangements. We use a probability-weighted expected return method to determine
the fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt or equity
instrument in exchange for equity shares, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability
(generally convertible debt and warrants), we record the equity shares at fair value on the date of conversion, relieve all related debt,
derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts, and recognize a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if any.
Equity or liability instruments that become subject
to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During 2025 and 2024, we did not have any relationships
with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section
107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can
delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to
avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public
companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB issues Accounting
Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. The Company regularly evaluates new ASUs to determine
the impact that these pronouncements may have on the consolidated condensed financial statements. Other than the pronouncements listed
below, management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, or (iii)
are not applicable to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements or related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which expands annual
and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses
and segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under
ASC 280, including the new required disclosures under the ASU. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on a retrospective basis for the 2024 annual period,
and for interim periods beginning in 2025. The impact is limited to our financial statement disclosures, which are presented in Note 2
to the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
34
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) which requires disaggregated information
about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09
will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income
Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which applies to all public business entities that file financial statements with
the SEC. The amendments in this ASU require public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information
about certain income statement expense line items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with
early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our financial statement disclosures.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule
12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations
and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures. Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2025, due to the existence of the material weakness in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management has used
the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” published by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based
on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management concluded that as of March 31, 2025,
our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the following areas:
(1) we do not employ full time
in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine
transactions. With respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from
third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions;
(2) we have inadequate segregation
of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes,
and the performance of account reconciliations and approval; and
(3) we have ineffective controls
over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by insufficient accounting staff.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and
Procedures
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of
possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEDINGS
From time to time, claims are made against us
in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties
and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more
products or engaging in other activities. There were no reportable litigation events during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule
12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting
obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item. In any event, there have been no material
changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in the Registration Statement.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(A) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement
On January 28, 2025, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the “January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the
“January 2025 Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 204,312 shares of common stock at a purchase
price of $5.105 per share in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
The shares were offered pursuant to a “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-280796), which was declared effective by SEC on July 18, 2024 as supplemented
by a prospectus supplement dated January 28, 2025, filed with the SEC on January 30, 2025, and accompanying base prospectus, pursuant
to Rule 424(b)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act.
In a concurrent private placement, the Company
also issued to the January 2025 Purchasers unregistered warrants (the “January 2025 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate
of 408,621 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.855 per share. The January 2025 Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and
expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance.
Any holder will not have the right to exercise
any portion of the January 2025 Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, upon
the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise,
as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease
such percentage, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such election.
The exercise price of the January 2025 Warrants
is subject to customary adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications
or similar events affecting the common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to the
stockholders of the Company.
The issuance of the January 2025 Warrants pursuant
to the January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement and issuance of the January 2025 Placement Agent Warrants, as defined below, and the
shares of common stock issuable thereunder were made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities
Act, available to the Company under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act due to the fact that the offering of the January 2025 Warrants and the January 2025 Placement Agent Warrants thereunder did not involve
a public offering of securities.
The January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement
contained customary representations and warranties. The offering closed on January 30, 2025.
Pursuant to an engagement letter agreement between
the Company and the Placement Agent dated August 30, 2024, as amended on September 3, 2024 and January 24, 2025, the Placement Agent acted
as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering.
36
Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Agreement,
the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash transaction fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering and a management
fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering. In addition, the Company paid for certain non-accountable expenses
in the amount of $15,000 and a clearing fee in the amount of $10,000. The Company also issued to the Placement Agent (or its designees)
warrants (the “January 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 15,325 shares of common stock. The January 2025 Placement
Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $6.382 per share and are exercisable upon issuance and expire twenty-four months from the
date of issuance.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately
$804,346 from the offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses paid by the Company, including the Placement Agent fees. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 5, 2025, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the “February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the
“February 2025 Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 300,700 shares of common stock at a purchase
price of $3.575 per share in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
The shares were offered pursuant to a “shelf”
registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-280796), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on July 18, 2024 as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated February 5, 2025, filed with the SEC on February
6, 2025, and accompanying base prospectus, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
In a concurrent private placement, the Company
also issued to the February 2025 Purchasers unregistered warrants (the “February 2025 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate
of 300,700 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.95 per share. The February 2025 Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and
expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance.
Any holder will not have the right to exercise
any portion of the February 2025 Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, upon
the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise,
as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease
such percentage, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such election.
The exercise price of the February 2025 Warrants
is subject to customary adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications
or similar events affecting the Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to the
stockholders of the Company.
The issuance of the February 2025 Warrants pursuant
to the February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the February 2025 Placement Agent Warrants, as defined below, and
the shares of common stock issuable thereunder, were made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), available to the Company under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder and
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act due to the fact that the offering of the February 2025 Warrants and the
February 2025 Placement Agent Warrants thereunder did not involve a public offering of securities.
The February 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement
contained customary representations and warranties. The offering closed on February 6, 2025.
37
Pursuant to an engagement letter agreement between
the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) dated August 30, 2024, as amended on September 3, 2024
and January 24, 2025 (the “Engagement Agreement”), the Placement Agent acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent
in connection with the offering.
Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Agreement,
the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash transaction fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering and a management
fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds in the offering. In addition, the Company paid for certain non-accountable expenses
in the amount of $15,000 and a clearing fee in the amount of $10,000. The Company also issued to the Placement Agent (or its designees)
warrants (the “February 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 22,554 shares of common stock. The February 2025
Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $4.469 per share and are exercisable upon issuance and expire twenty-four months
from the date of issuance.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately
$908,627 from the offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses paid by the Company, including the Placement Agent fees. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”).
