Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this
“Report”). This discussion and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. As a result of many factors, including
those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, our actual results could differ materially from
the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and
analysis.
References
to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this section generally refer to Tevogen Bio
Inc before the Business Combination and to Tevogen Inc. and its subsidiary collectively from and after the Business Combination, unless
the context otherwise requires.
Overview
We
are a healthcare company focused on addressing unmet needs across biotechnology, technology, and healthcare services. Our business includes
Tevogen Bio, our biotechnology initiative focused on developing off-the-shelf cellular immunotherapies, and Tevogen.AI, our initiative
leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to advance precision medicine. We also recently established Tevogen Healthcare
Services, a healthcare services initiative intended to support longer-term efforts to improve healthcare affordability, accessibility,
and efficiency.
Through
Tevogen Bio, we are harnessing one of nature’s most powerful immunological weapons, CD8+ CTLs, to develop off-the-shelf, precision
T cell therapies for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancers, and other disorders, with the aim of addressing the significant unmet
needs of large patient populations and improving the affordability and accessibility of life-saving medicines. We believe the full potential
of T cell therapies remains largely untapped, and aspire to be the first biotechnology company offering commercially attractive, economically
viable, and cost-effective personalized T cell therapies.
We
believe our allogeneic, precision T cell technology, ExacTcell, has the potential to mainstream cell therapy with a new class of off-the-shelf
T cell therapies with diverse applications across virology, oncology, and other areas. ExacTcell is a set of processes and methodologies
to develop, enrich, and expand single human leukocyte antigen (HLA) restricted CTL therapies with proactively selected, precisely defined
targets. We are focused on using ExacTcell to develop therapeutics that are intended to be infused in patients other than the original
donor. ExacTcell is designed to maximize the immunologic specificity of our products in order to eliminate malignant and virally infected
cells while allowing healthy cells to remain intact.
The
first clinical product of ExacTcell, TVGN 489, is initially being developed to fill a critical gap in COVID-19 therapeutics for the immunocompromised
and the high-risk elderly, with potential applications in both treatment and prevention of chronic, lingering symptoms of the disease
(“Long COVID”). We have completed a Phase 1 proof-of-concept clinical trial of TVGN 489 for the treatment of ambulatory,
high-risk adult COVID-19 patients. No dose-limiting toxicities or significant treatment-related adverse events were observed in the treatment
arm of the trial. Secondary endpoints showing a rapid reduction of viral load and that infusion of TVGN 489 did not prevent development
of the patients’ own T cell-related (cellular) or antibody-related (humoral) anti-COVID-19 immunity were also met. None of the
patients who participated in the trial reported progression of infection, reinfection, or the development of Long COVID during the six-month
follow-up period.
Through
Tevogen.AI, we are focused on harnessing the potential of AI to transform drug development by accelerating target detection, reducing
failure rates, and supporting optimized clinical trial design through proprietary predictive technologies. Our current artificial intelligence
technologies are PredicTcell™, which applies machine learning to analyze and understand immunologically active peptides, and AdapTcell™,
which enables in-silico experimentation to inform genetics and proteomics while building a high-resolution map of HLA specificity.
Tevogen
Healthcare Services is an emerging initiative and remains at an early stage of development.
Our
commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other protection for our products and methods, preserve
the confidentiality of our trade secrets, operate without infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating the valid, enforceable
proprietary rights of others, and prevent others from infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating our proprietary rights. We
rely on a combination of patents, patent applications, trademarks, and trade secrets to establish and protect our intellectual property
rights. Our ability to stop third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell, or importing our products without the right
to do so may depend on the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents, trademarks or trade secrets that cover
these activities.
14
We
continue to build our intellectual property portfolio and seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other things, filing patent
applications. Our patent estate includes patents and patent applications with claims relating to our product candidates, methods of use,
and methods of preparing the product candidates. To date, our U.S. intellectual property portfolio includes three U.S. patents relating
to TVGN 489 for the treatment of COVID-19, nine pending U.S. patent applications, including two patent applications relating to the treatment
of COVID-19, six relating to the treatment of other viruses or cancer, and one related to artificial intelligence-driven T cell target
identification and receptor engagement, as well as 21 ex-U.S. patent applications, including applications in Australia, Canada, Europe,
Japan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, directed at viral specific T cells, methods of treating and preventing viral infections,
methods for developing CD3+CD+ cells against multiple viral epitopes for the treatment of viral infections, and systems for predicting
immunologically active peptides with machine learning models, which have anticipated expiration dates through December 16, 2044.
In
the United States, our three issued utility patents, all of which will expire on December 9, 2040, are U.S. Patent No. 11,191,827 covering
methods of treating COVID-19 infection using COVID-19 peptide specific CTLs; U.S. Patent No. 11,207,401 covering COVID-19 peptide-specific
CTLs; and U.S. Patent No. 11,219,684 covering methods of manufacturing COVID-19 peptide specific CTLs. A pending utility patent application
in the United States directed at viral specific T cells and methods of treating and preventing viral infections has an anticipated expiration
of December 9, 2041. In addition, we own a trademark registration at the United States Patent and Trademark Office for “Tevogen
Bio” (and design) and have pending trademark applications for “AdapTcell,” “ExacTcell,” “PredicTcell,”
and “Tevogen AI” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
We
determine strategy for claim scope for our patent applications on a case-by-case basis, taking into account advice of counsel and our
business model and needs. We file patents containing claims for protection of useful applications of our proprietary technologies and
any product candidates, including new applications or uses we discover for existing technologies and product candidates, based on our
assessment of their strategic value. We continuously reassess the number and type of patent applications, as well as our pending and
issued patent claims, to ensure maximum coverage and value are obtained for our processes and compositions, given existing patent office
rules and regulations.
As
our patents were developed internally, historical expenditures related to their development were all expensed as incurred per GAAP. We
believe these patents have significant value as the basis of our product pipeline. Our continued investment in our pipeline highlights
our belief in future commercial viability of these products.
Since
commencing operations in June 2020, we have devoted substantially all our efforts and financial resources to establishing corporate governance,
recruiting essential staff, establishing research and development capability including securing laboratory space and equipment, conducting
scientific research, securing intellectual property rights to our inventions related to our product candidates and ExacTcell, carrying
out drug discovery including preclinical studies and our Phase 1 clinical trial of TVGN 489, raising capital, and pursuing the Business
Combination.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $5.8 million and $5.5 million,
respectively. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $11.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively. Net loss
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, salaries and
outside services. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $1.1 million.
In
January 2025, we received a grant of $2.0 million from KRHP, to further our development of off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified precision
T cell therapeutics to treat infectious diseases and cancers. In August 2025, we received a grant of $1.0 million from KRHP to advance
Tevogen.AI. KRHP is affiliated with the Patel Family. KRHP also committed to provide an additional $7.0 million of grant funding to us
to be used towards our ongoing operational expenses. In addition, in June 2025, we received a capital contribution of $500,000 from Ryan
Saadi, our Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer.
On
July 3, 2025, we entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agent, pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $50,000,000
of common stock through the Agent as our sales agent. Sales of our common stock through the Agent may be made by any method that is deemed
to be an “at-the-market” equity offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act pursuant to our effective
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288218) filed on June 20, 2025 with the SEC and declared effective on June 26,
2025, the base prospectus filed as part of such registration statement, and the prospectus supplement dated July 3, 2025.
15
On
March 3, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which was effective as of March 6, 2026 (the “Effective
Date”). The common stock began trading on Nasdaq on a post-split basis at the open of business on the Effective Date.
On
May 11, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Patel Family
pursuant to which we sold the Patel Family the Pre-funded Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.0 million in a
private investment in public equity transaction (the “PIPE”). Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Pre-funded Warrants are exercisable at any time following issuance until exercised in full and may be exercised for cash or, subject
to the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants, on a cashless basis. The exercise price of each Pre-funded Warrant is $0.0001 per share, payable
upon exercise. The closing of the PIPE occurred on May 15, 2026.
Based
on cash on hand as of June 30, 2026 of approximately $1.1 million, combined with the amounts available under our Loan Agreement,
and the $7.0 million of additional committed grant funding from KRHP, we have concluded that we have sufficient cash to fund our operations
for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Effective
July 30, 2026, we changed our name from Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. to Tevogen Inc.
We
do not expect to generate product revenue unless and until we obtain marketing approval or other authorization for and successfully commercialize
TVGN 489 or another product candidate. We expect to incur expenses related to expanding our research and development capability, building
our manufacturing infrastructure including through acquisitions, and developing our commercialization organization, including reimbursement,
marketing, managed market, and distribution functions, and training and deploying a specialty medical science liaison team.
Components
of our Results of Operations
Revenue
To
date, we have not generated any revenue, and we do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products unless and until we obtain
marketing approval or other authorization for and commercialize TVGN 489 or another product candidate.
Operating
Expenses
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research activities, including staffing, discovery efforts, preclinical
studies, and clinical development of TVGN 489, and preclinical studies of other product candidates, and include:
●
acquisition
of supplies and equipment and leasing lab spaces;
●
expenses
incurred to conduct the necessary preclinical studies required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to obtain the regulatory
approval necessary to conduct TVGN 489 clinical trials;
●
salaries,
benefits, and other related costs for personnel engaged in research and development functions;
●
costs
of funding research performed by third parties, including pursuant to agreements with contract research organizations (“CROs”),
and investigative site costs to conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials;
●
manufacturing
costs, including expenses incurred under agreements with contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), including manufacturing
scale-up expenses, and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical study and clinical trial materials;
●
costs
of outside consultants, including their fees, stock-based compensation, and related travel expenses;
●
costs
of laboratory supplies and acquiring materials for preclinical studies and clinical trials; and
●
facility-related
expenses, which include direct depreciation costs of equipment and expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating
costs.
16
Research
and development activities are central to the biotechnology business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development
generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages, primarily due to the increased study sizes, which also leads generally
to longer patient enrollment times in later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly
over the next several years as we increase manufacturing, shipping, and storage of clinical batches required for clinical trials, incur
increased personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, conduct planned clinical trials for TVGN 489 and other clinical and preclinical
activities for other product candidates, and prepare regulatory filings for any of our product candidates.
The
successful development of our current or future product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or
know the nature, timing, and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of any product candidates. The success
of TVGN 489 and our other product candidates will depend on several factors, including the following:
●
with
respect to products other than TVGN 489, successfully completing preclinical studies;
●
successfully
initiating future clinical trials;
●
successfully
enrolling patients in and completing clinical trials;
●
applying
for and receiving marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
●
obtaining
and maintaining intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity for TVGN 489 and any other product candidates we are
developing or may develop in the future and enforcing, defending, and protecting these rights;
●
making
arrangements with third-party manufacturers, or establishing adequate commercial manufacturing capabilities;
●
establishing
sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities and launching sales of our products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration
with others;
●
market
adoption of TVGN 489 and any other product candidates, if and when approved, by patients and the medical community;
●
competing
effectively with potential therapeutic alternatives in our target disease areas; and
●
adequate
reimbursement by private and public payors including health technology appraisal entities in non-U.S. countries.
A
change in the outcome of any of these variables concerning the development, manufacturing, or commercialization activities of a product
candidate could result in a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For
example, if we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our product candidates beyond those that we currently
contemplate, if we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidates or other testing, if the results of
these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive, if there are safety concerns, or if we determine that the observed
safety or efficacy profile would not be competitive in the marketplace, we could be required to expend significant additional financial
resources and time on the completion of clinical development. We anticipate that product commercialization may take several years, and
we expect to spend a significant amount in development costs.
17
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel expenses, which include salaries, benefits, and stock-based long-term incentive
compensation for employees. These expenses also encompass corporate facility costs such as rent, utilities, depreciation, and maintenance,
as well as costs not classified under research and development expenses. Legal fees pertaining to intellectual property and corporate
matters, as well as fees for accounting and consulting services, are also included in general and administrative expenses.
We
expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities,
potential commercialization efforts, and increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely include increased
costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside consultants, lawyers, accountants, and recruitment firms, among
other expenses. Increased costs associated with being a public company also include expenses related to services associated with maintaining
compliance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements, insurance, and investor relations costs. If any of our current or future product candidates
obtains marketing approval, we expect that we would incur significantly increased expenses associated with sales and marketing efforts.
Interest
Expense, Net
Interest
expense, net consists primarily of interest on our former convertible promissory notes and Loan Agreement, partially offset by interest
earned on bank deposits. (See “- Liquidity and Capital Resources - Sources of Liquidity ” below.)
Change
in Fair Value of Warrants
As
the result of the Merger, we account for the warrants originally sold as part of Semper Paratus’s initial public offering (the
“IPO”) in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”)
and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are
freestanding financial instruments and meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480 and meet all of the conditions for equity
classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own shares of common stock, among other conditions. This
assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification,
the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified
warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair
value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants
are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Under these standards, our private
placement warrants sold at the time of the IPO do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities
while the public warrants sold in connection with the IPO do meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as equity.
Income
Tax Provision
Since
inception, we have incurred significant net losses. We have provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of our net deferred
tax assets since, in the opinion of our management, based upon our historical and anticipated future losses, it is more likely than not
that the benefits will not be realized.
Our
utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative
changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382
and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, respectively, as well as similar state provisions.

Non-GAAP
Presentation of Loss from Operations
Since
inception, we have incurred substantial operating losses, primarily driven by non-cash stock-based compensation expense, which does not
directly impact our cash position or operating liquidity. Other significant contributors to our operating losses have included legal
and professional fees, clinical and preclinical development expenses, other personnel expenses, and facilities expenses.
To
enhance investors’ understanding of our historical results, we present below adjusted loss from operations, which is a non-GAAP
measure that we define as loss from operations, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense.
We believe adjusted loss from operations provides additional insight into the underlying capital efficiency of our business and helps
investors evaluate our long-term operating performance by illustrating that a significant portion of our reported losses represents equity-based
compensation expense rather than cash expenditures. Stock-based compensation is a key element of our employee and executive compensation
and retention strategy and will continue to impact our reported GAAP results in future periods.
This
non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information and may not be directly comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations provided below together
with our GAAP results included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Sources
of Liquidity
As
of June 30, 2026 we had $1.1 million in cash, as compared to $0.6 million in cash as of December 31, 2025. To date, we have not yet commercialized
any products or generated any revenue from product sales and have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of convertible
promissory notes and preferred stock, funds drawn on the Loan Agreement, grant funding, and proceeds from sales of common stock under
the Sales Agreement. Since January 2021, we have raised aggregate gross proceeds of $24.0 million from the sale of convertible promissory
notes, $2.0 million from the sale of our Series A Preferred Stock, $3.0 million from deposits related to the future sale of our Series
A-1 Preferred Stock, and $6.0 million from the sale of our Series C Preferred Stock. In June 2024, we entered into the Loan Agreement,
which provided up to $36.0 million of term loans that can be drawn in $1.0 million increments each month over thirty-six months, as described
below. As of June 30, 2026, we had drawn $6.4 million, with a remaining $11.0 million available for future financing. In January and
August 2025, we received a grant of $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and have a remaining commitment of a grant of $7.0 million
from KRHP. In June 2025, we received a capital contribution of $0.5 million from Dr. Ryan Saadi, our Chairperson and Chief Executive
Officer. In addition, in May 2026, we raised gross proceeds of $3.0 million from the sale of pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of
common stock, as described below.
21
On
July 3, 2025, we entered into the Sales Agreement, pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $50,000,000 of shares
of common stock through the Agent as our sales agent. Sales of our common stock through the Agent, if any, will be made by any method
that is deemed to be an “at-the-market” equity offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act pursuant
to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on June 20, 2025, and the prospectus supplement dated July 3, 2025. Each
time we wish to issue and sell common stock under the Sales Agreement, we will provide a placement notice to the Agent containing the
parameters in accordance with which shares are to be sold, including, but not limited to, the number of shares of common stock to be
issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares of common stock that may
be sold in any one trading day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts
consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the common stock from time to time, based upon our instructions, including
any price, time or size limits we may impose pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. We are not obligated
to make any sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement and may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon written notice. We
will pay the Agent a commission on the gross proceeds.
As
of August 10, 2026, we have sold an aggregate of approximately 319,000 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement at a weighted
average price per share of $19.96 on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $6.4 million. After
deducting total expenses of approximately $176,000, including commission to the Agent of approximately $160,000, net proceeds to us were
approximately $6.2 million.
On
May 11, 2026, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Patel Family pursuant to which we sold the Patel Family the
Pre-funded Warrants, which are exercisable for 375,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.0
million in the PIPE. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Pre-funded Warrants are exercisable at any time
following issuance until exercised in full and may be exercised for cash or, subject to the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants, on a cashless
basis. The exercise price of each Pre-funded Warrant is $0.0001 per share, payable upon exercise. The closing of the PIPE occurred on
May 15, 2026.

Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we did not have any cash flows from investing activities.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, we received $6.3 million of net cash from financing activities attributable to $3.0 million in proceeds
from pre-funded warrants, net of offering costs, $2.0 million in draws on the Loan Agreement and $1.3 million in proceeds pursuant to
the Sales Agreement, net of offering costs.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2025, we received $5.9 million of net cash from financing activities attributable to $3.4 million in draws
on the Loan Agreement, $2.0 million attributable to the KRHP grant, and $500,000 in capital contributions from Dr. Saadi.
Funding
Requirements
Our
primary sources of funds to meet our near-term liquidity and capital requirements include cash on hand, our access to an unsecured line
of credit (limited to a $1.0 million monthly draw) under the Loan Agreement described below, potential future sales of common stock under
the Sales Agreement, and the $7.0 million of grant funding that KRHP has committed to provide to be used towards our ongoing operational
expenses. On February 14, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor pursuant to which the investor agreed
to purchase shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8.0 million. On March 27, 2024, we entered into
an agreement pursuant to which that amount was reduced to $2.0 million and the investor agreed to purchase shares of our Series A-1 Preferred
Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million. We have not yet received $3.0 million of the $6.0 million purchase price for the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Even if we receive such proceeds, we will still need additional capital to fully implement our business,
operating, and development plans. On August 21, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor pursuant to which
the investor purchased shares of our Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.
On
June 6, 2024, we entered into the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Patel Family agreed to provide to us up to an initial amount
of $36.0 million under the Facility. The Patel Family is also the investor in our Series A, Series A-1, and Series C Preferred Stock.
The Facility permits us to borrow up to $1.0 million monthly in a single monthly draw over a period of up to three years. Draws accrue
interest at a fixed annual rate of the lower of (i) the daily secured overnight financing rate, measured on the date we receive the draw
(the “Deposit Date”), plus 2.00% and (ii) 7.00%, accruing quarterly beginning on the Deposit Date and payable quarterly beginning
on the three-month anniversary of the Deposit Date. Interest will be payable in shares of common stock with an effective purchase price
of $75.00 per share, and each draw will mature 48 months after the Deposit Date. Prepayment will be permitted without penalty. We may
repay or prepay any amount of outstanding principal balance under the Facility at our election in cash or in shares of common stock with
an effective purchase price of the greater of $75.00 per share and the Trailing VWAP as of the trading day prior to payment, subject
to certain requirements related to resale registration. There is no assurance as to the amount of proceeds we will ultimately receive
under the Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, we had drawn $6.4 million with a remaining $11.0 million available for future draws.

On
July 3, 2025, we entered into the Sales Agreement, pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $50,000,000 of shares
of common stock through the Agent as our sales agent. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity ”
above for more information on amounts sold under the Sales Agreement.
We
expect to devote considerable financial resources to our ongoing and planned activities, particularly as we conduct our planned clinical
trials of TVGN 489 and other product candidates.
Identifying
potential product candidates and conducting preclinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive, and uncertain process
that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve
product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success.
We
expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our preclinical studies and clinical
trials. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for TVGN 489 in any indication or for any other product candidate we are developing
or develop in the future, we expect to incur commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution.
Furthermore, we expect to continue to incur increased costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we will need
additional funding to fully implement our business plans.
Our
future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
●
the
progress, costs, and results of our planned clinical trials of TVGN 489 and other planned and future clinical trials;
●
the
scope, progress, costs, and results of our preclinical testing and clinical trials of TVGN 489 for additional combinations, targets,
and indications;
●
the
number of and development requirements for additional indications for TVGN 489 or for any other product candidates;
●
our
ability to scale up our manufacturing processes and capabilities to support clinical trials of TVGN 489 and other product candidates
we are developing and may develop in the future;
●
the
costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of TVGN 489 and other product candidates we are developing and may develop in the
future;
●
potential
changes in the regulatory environment and enforcement rules;
●
our
ability to establish and maintain strategic collaboration, licensing, or other arrangements and the financial terms of such arrangements;
●
the
costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution, for
TVGN 489 and other product candidates we are developing and may develop in the future for which we may receive marketing approval;
●
our
ability to obtain and maintain acceptance of any approved products by patients, the medical community, and third-party payors;
●
the
amount and timing of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of TVGN 489 and any other product candidates we are developing
or develop in the future for which we receive marketing approval;
●
potential
changes in pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement infrastructure;
●
the
availability of raw materials for use in production of our product candidates; and
●
the
costs and timing of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property and
proprietary rights, and defending any intellectual property-related claims.
24
As
of June 30, 2026, we had cash of approximately $1.1 million. We believe that our cash balance, the $11.0 million available under the
Loan Agreement, and the remaining commitment for a $7.0 million grant from KRHP will allow us to have adequate cash and financial resources
to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this
Report. We do not plan to initiate a clinical trial until additional funding is received.
We
regularly evaluate different strategies to obtain funding for operations for subsequent periods. These strategies may include but are
not limited to private placements of securities, licensing and/or marketing arrangements, partnerships with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology
companies, and public offerings of securities. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms and may not be able to enter
into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the
rights of our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, we could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research
and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business
prospects.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
We
have material cash requirements arising from our contractual obligations, primarily consisting of operating lease commitments and debt
obligations under notes payable and our Loan Agreement.
As
of June 30, 2026, our short-term cash requirements (due within the next 12 months) totaled approximately $2.1 million, consisting of:
●
approximately
$1.7 million related to notes payable,
●
approximately
$0.3 million of operating lease commitments, and
●
approximately
$0.1 million of interest due on draws under our Loan Agreement.
Our
long-term cash requirements (due beyond 12 months) totaled approximately $7.5 million, consisting of:
●
approximately
$6.4 million related to the Loan Agreement, and
●
approximately
$1.1 million of operating lease commitments.
We
expect to fund these cash requirements through a combination of cash generated from operations and available financing arrangements.
We continually evaluate our liquidity position and may seek to refinance or restructure certain obligations as they come due.
The
commitment amounts above are associated with contracts that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms,
including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the actions
under the contracts. Our contracts with CROs, CMOs, and other third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates and to support
preclinical research studies and clinical testing are generally cancelable by us upon prior notice and do not contain any minimum purchase
commitments. Payments due upon cancellation consisting only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including noncancelable
obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation are not included in the table above as the amount and timing of
such payments are not known.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
This
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities in our unaudited consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including
those related to accrued expenses, the fair value of our common stock, the fair value of our convertible promissory notes, and stock-based
compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions
or conditions, including those factors set out in the “ Risk Factors ” section and elsewhere of our Annual Report.
Our
significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our unaudited financial statements contained in this Report
and Note 3 to the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report. We did not identify any material policy changes related
to critical accounting policies and estimates from what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report, except as described in Note 3
to our unaudited financial statements contained in this Report.
