NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization, Business Overview and Liquidity

Serina Therapeutics, Inc. was incorporated as AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. in January 2017 in the state of Delaware. On March 26, 2024, AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (“AgeX”) completed a merger transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of August 29, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among AgeX, Canaria Transaction Corporation, an Alabama corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AgeX (“Merger Sub”), and Serina Therapeutics, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“Legacy Serina”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Serina, with Legacy Serina surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of AgeX (the “Merger”). Additionally, on March 26, 2024, AgeX changed its name from “AgeX Therapeutics, Inc.” to “Serina Therapeutics, Inc.”. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, together with its subsidiaries, "Serina" or the "Company"). See Note 3, Recapitalization, for the accounting for the Merger.

Following the consummation of the Merger, the business previously conducted by Legacy Serina became the business conducted by the Company, which is now a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing Legacy Serina’s drug product candidates. The Company’s headquarters are located in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of wholly-owned drug product candidates to treat neurological diseases and pain. The Company’s POZ drug delivery technology is designed to enable certain existing drugs and novel drug candidates to be modified in a way that may provide an increase in efficacy and safety of the resulting polymeric drug conjugate. The Company’s proprietary POZ technology is based on a synthetic, water soluble, low viscosity polymer called poly(2-oxazoline). The Company’s POZ technology is engineered to provide greater control in drug loading and more precision in the rate of release of attached drugs delivered via subcutaneous injection.

The therapeutic agents in the Company’s product candidates are typically well-understood and marketed drugs that are effective but are limited by pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles that can include toxicity, side effects and short half-life. The Company believes that by using POZ technology, drugs with narrow therapeutic windows can be designed to maintain more desirable and stable levels in the blood. The Company believes that POZ technology can be applied to small molecules, proteins, antibody drug conjugates, and other classes of molecules.

Prior to the closing of the Merger, any assets of AgeX other than certain “Legacy Assets” were transferred into a newly formed subsidiary of AgeX, UniverXome Bioengineering, Inc. (“UniverXome”). UniverXome assumed (i) any outstanding indebtedness of AgeX to Juvenescence Limited (“Juvenescence”), which was secured by the assets contributed to UniverXome, (ii) most of the Company’s contracts with third parties, other than certain designated contracts and any contracts that were terminated before the Merger, and (iii) all other liabilities of the Company in existence as of the effective time of the Merger (other than certain transaction expenses related to the Merger). In December 2024, the Company sold UniverXome to Juvenescence. See Note 5, Related Party Transactions.

Liquidity and Going Concern

In addition to general economic and capital market trends and conditions, the Company’s ability to raise sufficient additional capital to finance its operations from time to time will depend on a number of factors specific to the Company’s operations such as operating expenses and progress in out-licensing its technologies and development of its product candidates.

The unavailability or inadequacy of financing to meet future capital needs could force the Company to modify, curtail, delay, or suspend some or all aspects of planned operations. Sales of additional equity securities could result in the dilution of the interests of its stockholders. The Company cannot assure that adequate financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

The Company recognized a net loss of $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company used $8.1 million in net cash from operating activities for the period ended June 30, 2025 and has historically incurred losses from operations and expects to continue to generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its business plan.

Table of Contents

Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million as of June 30, 2025, will be used to fund Company operations but are not expected to be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s anticipated operating and other funding requirements for the twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, technical risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of therapeutic candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Therapeutic drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts will require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel, and infrastructure. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize revenue from product sales. The Company expects to largely rely on raising capital from equity investors, and additional funding through the Company's at-the-market offering ("ATM"), for funding its operations. Some funding may be obtained through licensing agreements or other arrangements with commercial entities.

As a result of recurring losses from operations and recurring negative cash flows from operations, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively. If sufficient capital is not available, the Company would be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market therapeutic candidates to other entities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or that the terms and conditions of any future financings will be workable or acceptable to the Company or its shareholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements presented herein, and as discussed below, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. In accordance with those rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in comprehensive consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025.

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. For consolidated entities where the Company has less than 100% of ownership, the Company records net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations equal to the percentage of the ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. The noncontrolling interest is reflected as a separate element of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Any material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date. This assessment is based on its power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the entity is within the scope of the variable

Table of Contents

interest model and meets the definition of a VIE, the Company considers whether it must consolidate the VIE or provide additional disclosures regarding its involvement with the VIE. If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company will consolidate the VIE. This analysis is performed at the initial investment in the entity or upon any reconsideration event. For entities the Company holds as an equity investment that are not consolidated under the VIE model, the Company will consider whether its investment constitutes a controlling financial interest in the entity and therefore should be considered for consolidation under the voting interest model.

The Company had three subsidiaries: Legacy Serina and UniverXome, which are wholly owned subsidiaries, and NeuroAirmid. Following the Merger, the Company is primarily focused on developing Legacy Serina's product candidates.

NeuroAirmid is jointly owned by the Company and certain researchers from the University of California and was organized to pursue certain cell therapies, focusing initially on Huntington’s Disease. The Company owns 50.0% of the outstanding capital stock of NeuroAirmid. The Company consolidates NeuroAirmid despite not having majority ownership interest as it has the ability to influence decision making and financial results through contractual rights and obligations as per Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. On March 27, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company formed a special committee for the purpose of exploring strategic alternatives for the business, assets and/or stock of NeuroAirmid and UniverXome including its subsidiaries Reverse Bio and ReCyte.

On December 23, 2024, following the Stock Purchase Agreement with Juvenscence, the Company sold all outstanding shares of UniverXome for a nominal cash payment and deconsolidated UniverXome. See Note 5, Related Party Transactions for details.

Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, previously presented as one line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, are now presented separately given the materiality of the balances. The current portion of operating and finance lease liabilities were also reclassified to other current liabilities. Interest income and expenses, previously presented net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, is now presented separately. The non-cash interest expense on convertible promissory note, previously combined with accrued expenses in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, is now presented separately within operating activities. Additionally, grant receivable was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and related party payables was combined with other current liabilities in the operating activities section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or financial position.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, in each case with consideration given to materiality. Significant estimates and assumptions which are subject to significant judgment include those related to assumptions used to value stock-based awards and liability classified warrants. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

Concentration of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash deposits in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured financial institutions and may at times hold investments at Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) insured broker-dealers.

At times, the balances in these accounts may be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents deposits in excess of FDIC limits were both nominal, and investments and deposits in excess of SIPC limits were $5.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Product candidates developed by the Company and its subsidiaries will require approvals or clearances from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or foreign regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that any of the product candidates being developed or planned to be developed by the Company or its

subsidiaries will receive any of the required approvals or clearances. If regulatory approval or clearance were to be denied or any such approval or clearance were to be delayed, it would have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment in the United States of America.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted interim requirements on January 1, 2025 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to income Tax Disclosures, under which entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. They must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 enhances annual income tax disclosures to address investor requests for more information about the tax risks and opportunities present in an entity’s worldwide operations. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025, and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. ASU 2024-02 removes various references to the FASB’s Concepts Statements from the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (Codification or GAAP). The Concepts Statements are non-authoritative guidance issued by the FASB that provide the objectives, qualitative characteristics and other concepts that govern the development of accounting principles by the FASB. The ASU indicates that the goal of the amendments is to simplify the Codification and distinguish between nonauthoritative and authoritative guidance (since, unlike the Codification, the concepts statements are nonauthoritative). The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2025 and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

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 to improve disclosures by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Recapitalization

As described in Note 1, Legacy Serina merged with Merger Sub on March 26, 2024 with Legacy Serina surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of AgeX. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Legacy Serina was considered the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination was based on the facts that, immediately following the Merger: (i) Legacy Serina stockholders own a substantial majority of the voting rights; (ii) Legacy Serina designated a majority of the initial members of the board of directors of the combined company; (iii) Legacy Serina’s executive management team became the management team of the combined company, and (iv) the combined company intends to primarily focus on developing Legacy Serina’s product candidates, and will not continue to develop AgeX’s product candidates.

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Legacy Serina capital stock (after giving effect to the automatic conversion of all shares of Legacy Serina preferred stock into shares of Legacy Serina common stock and excluding any shares held as treasury stock by Legacy Serina or held or owned by AgeX or any subsidiary of AgeX or of

Table of Contents

Legacy Serina and any dissenting shares) was converted into the right to receive 0.97682654 shares of AgeX common stock, which resulted in AgeX issuing an aggregate of 5,913,277 shares of AgeX common stock to the stockholders of Legacy Serina.


Total AgeX shares outstanding prior to Merger			2,500,612
Shares issued to Legacy Serina stockholders			5,913,277
Total shares outstanding			8,413,889

In addition, AgeX assumed the Legacy Serina 2017 Stock Option Plan, and each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Legacy Serina common stock and each outstanding and unexercised warrant to purchase Legacy Serina capital stock was adjusted with such stock options and warrants henceforth representing the right to purchase a number of shares of Company common stock equal to 0.97682654 multiplied by the number of shares of Legacy Serina common stock previously represented by such options and warrants.

In March 2023, AgeX provided Legacy Serina with bridge financing in the form of a convertible promissory note for the principal amount of $10.0 million (the “AgeX-Serina Note”). See Note 6, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on the AgeX-Serina Note.

As part of the recapitalization, the Company obtained the assets and liabilities listed below (in thousands):


Cash and cash equivalents	$	337

5. Related Party Transactions

Convertible Notes Agreement and Asset Contribution Agreement

On March 26, 2024, AgeX entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with UniverXome (the “Asset Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which AgeX transferred to UniverXome all of AgeX’s capital stock in Reverse Bio and ReCyte, along with certain patents, patent applications, and other intellectual property, certain biological materials, certain trademarks and service marks, certain equipment, certain inventory, and certain files and records relating to the foregoing, and UniverXome assumed all of the Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Contribution Agreement) in existence as the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) other than the Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and certain other liabilities. Concurrently with the execution of the Asset Contribution Agreement, AgeX, and its subsidiaries UniverXome, Reverse Bio, and ReCyte (the “Subsidiary Obligors”), entered into an Agreement with Respect to the Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes Agreement”) with Juvenescence.

Pursuant to the Convertible Notes Agreement, AgeX transferred to UniverXome, and UniverXome assumed, all of AgeX’s rights and obligations under the convertible notes issued to Juvenescence in 2022 and 2023 (the "2022 Secured Note" and "2023 Secured Note", respectively) and related Security Agreements. Juvenescence agreed to release AgeX from its obligations under (i) the 2022 Secured Note and the 2023 Secured Note (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”), together with (ii) all agreements evidencing or securing the Convertible Notes, including the related Security Agreements, and UniverXome assumed all of AgeX’s obligations under the Convertible Notes and related agreements, including the Security Agreements. As a result, (i) Juvenescence agreed to look solely to UniverXome, and ReCyte and Reverse Bio as guarantors, for any and all obligations, including repayment, under the Convertible Notes, the Security Agreements, and related documents, and (ii) Juvenescence released its security interests in the assets of AgeX and certain subsidiaries, including its security interests in the stock of UniverXome, the stock and assets of Merger Sub, the stock and assets of NeuroAirmid, and certain cGMP embryonic cell lines used to support the NeuroAirmid business, and any security interest

Table of Contents

that it might have in the stock and assets of Merger Sub and Legacy Serina, while retaining its security interest in the stock and assets of ReCyte and Reverse Bio and in AgeX assets transferred to UniverXome. Juvenescence also agreed to provide the Company with a claims reserve for the purpose of settling and paying the costs associated with certain claims and demands against the Company, which claims reserve will be an additional debt obligation of UniverXome.

The Convertible Notes Agreement amended certain provisions of the 2022 Secured Note and 2023 Secured Note to eliminate (i) the provisions permitting Juvenescence and AgeX to convert outstanding amounts owed into shares of AgeX common stock, and (ii) certain related provisions. Upon the Merger, a portion of the Convertible Notes were converted, leaving a balance of $10.4 million in loans due to Juvenescence, net of debt issuance, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The 2022 Secured Notes also had terms which dictated the issuance of AgeX warrants upon drawdowns of loan funds, however, these were cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the remaining 2022 Warrants to purchase a total of 129,593 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $20.75 to $25.01 remain in effect. See Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity, for details.

Sale of subsidiary to Juvenescence

On December 23, 2024, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Juvenescence, pursuant to which Juvenescence purchased all of the outstanding shares of UniverXome, thereby assuming all Legacy Assets AgeX transferred to UniverXome prior to the Merger. The Legacy Assets included all of AgeX’s interests in ReCyte, Reverse Bio along with certain patents, patent applications, and other intellectual property, certain biological materials, certain trademarks and service marks, certain equipment, certain inventory, and certain files and records relating to the foregoing. As consideration for the purchase of UniverXome, Juvenescence assumed the net assets of UniverXome primarily consisting of intangible assets, net, of $0.5 million, and approximately $11.3 million of secured debt, consisting of the 2022 Secured Note and 2023 Secured Note owed by UniverXome to Juvenescence in addition to a nominal cash payment. The debt assumed by Juvenescence was secured by substantially all of the assets of UniverXome. As a result of the sale, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities of UniverXome with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital from Juvenescence calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the extinguished debt and the fair value of the reacquisition price of the debt. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $10.9 million capital contribution on the consolidated statement of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity/(deficit).

6. Fair Value Measurements

The Company had the following liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):


	Balance at June 30, 2025		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Warrant liability	$	3,549	$	—	$	—	$	3,549

Liabilities:
Warrant liability	$	3,582	$	—	$	—	$	3,582
Total	$	3,582	$	—	$	—	$	3,582

Warrant Liability

The Company classifies the Merger Warrants (as defined in Note 7, Stockholders' Equity) as liabilities. At the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as a component of other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of these warrant liabilities recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was a $1.0 million loss and a $9.3 million gain, respectively. The change in fair value of these warrant liabilities recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to a nominal gain and a $3.7 million gain, respectively. The Company will continue adjusting the warrant liability for changes

Table of Contents

in fair value until the earlier of a) the exercise or expiration of the warrants or b) the redemption of the warrants, at which time the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of warrant liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):


	Merger Warrants
Balance as of December 31, 2024	$	3,582
Change in fair value	(33)
Balance as of June 30, 2025	$	3,549

Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	—
Fair value at inception	18,501
Exercise	(1,372)
Change in fair value	(3,716)
Balance as of June 30, 2024	$	13,413

The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions at the reporting date:


	As of June 30,
	2025	2024
Expected volatility	65.1% -99.5%	111.3% - 115.6%
Expected term (in years)	0.1 - 2.7	1.1 - 3.7
Risk-free interest rate	3.7% - 4.4%	4.5% - 5.1%
Expected dividend yield	0.00%	0.00%

Expected volatility is estimated using the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the expected term of the warrants as the Company does not have sufficient trading history. The Company estimates the expected term using time to expiration of the warrant. The risk-free interest rate is the yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to or approximating the expected term of the warrant.

See Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity for further details regarding the warrants.

Convertible Promissory Notes

AgeX-Serina Note

On March 15, 2023, Legacy Serina issued the AgeX-Serina Note in the amount of $10.0 million to AgeX. The AgeX-Serina Note bore interest at 7% per annum and was scheduled to mature on March 15, 2026. Serina borrowed the $10.0 million pursuant to the AgeX-Serina Note to provide for general working capital needs.

Serina elected to initially and subsequently measure the AgeX-Serina Note in its entirety at fair value, with the fair value inception date adjustment as well as all subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On March 15, 2023, the fair value of the $10.0 million principal amount under the AgeX-Serina Note was evaluated and an adjustment to reduce the fair value of the principal balance to $7.8 million was recorded at that time. On the date of the Merger, the AgeX-Serina Note was remeasured to its fair value of $10.7 million as it converted into equity upon the Merger. See Note 3, Recapitalization for details. The change in fair value recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to zero and approximately $7.0 million loss, respectively.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On April 8, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of 965,250 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), at $5.18 per share for net proceeds of $4.9 million. The Series A Preferred Stock earns cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% per annum that are declared annually beginning on March 31, 2026 and paid in shares of the Company's common stock ("PIK Shares"). As of June 30, 2025, 18,882 dividend shares have been accrued but not declared. The preferred stock ranks pari passu with parity stock and senior to junior stock and other indebtedness, with automatic and optional conversion rights. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable.

Per each whole share of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible into on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted basis, except as provided by law.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the holder's option, into the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the sum of (i) the quotient of the issuance price divided by the conversion price (initially set at $5.18) and (ii) any PIK Shares accrued but not yet issued with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations that require stockholder approval for conversion. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock if (i) the volume weighted average price per share of common stock is greater than two times the then effective conversion price for ten trading days within any twenty consecutive trading days and (ii) upon the Company completing an underwritten offering or private placement of common stock resulting in gross cash proceeds to the Company of at least $20 million.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive payment based on the greater of issuance price or the per share consideration paid to common stockholders in the liquidation as if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into common stock prior to the liquidation event. After payment of the full liquidation preference of Series A Preferred Stock, distributions by the Company shall be distributed with equal priority among holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and common stock, with Series A Preferred Stock being treated on an as converted basis, including payment for accrued but unpaid dividends. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the liquidation preference amounted to $5 million and zero, respectively.

Merger Warrants

On March 19, 2024, the Company issued to each holder of AgeX common stock as of the dividend record date, March 18, 2024, three warrants (“Post-Merger Warrants”) for each five shares of AgeX common stock held by such stockholder. Each Post-Merger Warrant is exercisable for one “Unit” at a price equal to $13.20 per Unit and will expire on July 31, 2025. Each Unit will consist of (i) one share of Company common stock and (ii) one warrant (“Incentive Warrant”). Each Incentive Warrant is exercisable for one share of Company common stock at a price equal to $18.00 per warrant and will expire on the four-year anniversary of the closing date of the Merger.

9. Profit Sharing Plan

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Legacy Serina, the Company has established a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the “PSP”) for all eligible employees of the Company. The PSP provides for eligible employee contributions subject to certain annual Internal Revenue Code limits. For participants who are age 50 or older during any calendar year, additional employee contributions are allowed under the PSP, subject to Internal Revenue Code limits.

Employer contributions, if any, may include matching contributions and profit sharing contributions, both of which are made on a discretionary basis and are subject to service and employment requirements. Employer matching contributions and employer profit sharing contributions vest based on a graded vesting schedule. The Company made no discretionary employer matching or employer profit sharing contributions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

10. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate in accordance with ASC 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting. The effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.

Due to losses incurred for all periods presented, the Company did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company established a full valuation allowance for all of its deferred tax assets for all periods presented due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

The Company reports income tax related interest and penalties within its provision for income tax in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. Similarly, the Company reports the reversal of income tax-related interest and penalties within its provision for income tax line item to the extent the Company resolves its liabilities for uncertain tax positions in a manner favorable to its accruals. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record unrecognized tax benefits.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Facilities and Equipment Lease Agreements

The Company leases its lab and office facilities in Huntsville, Alabama for various terms under long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The leases expire on various dates from October 2025 through January 2028 and provide for renewal periods of two years. For the office lease, the Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements under ASC 842, as the lease cost, if recognized under ASC 842, would not be materially different from the straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company also leases laboratory equipment under a long-term, non-cancelable operating lease which expired in September 2024 and was subsequently replaced by a month-to-month cancellable agreement.

The Company also leases two pieces of equipment for various terms under long-term, non-cancelable finance lease agreements. One of the two finance leases expired in September 2024 with ownership passed on to the Company in accordance with the original term of the lease agreement, while the other finance lease expired in February 2025.

Litigation – General

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies in the ordinary course of its business, including those related to litigation, business transactions, employee-related matters, and others. When the Company is aware of a claim or

Table of Contents

potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved could be material. The Company is not aware of any claims likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Tax Filings

The Company's tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any ultimate amounts that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be significantly different than the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Employment Contracts

The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain executive officers. Under the provisions of the contracts, the Company may be required to incur severance obligations for matters relating to changes in control, as defined, and involuntary terminations.

Partnership with Enable

During May 2024, the Company entered into a partnership with Enable Injections, Inc. (“Enable”), a healthcare innovation company developing and manufacturing the enFuse® wearable drug delivery to develop and commercialize SER-252 (POZ-apomorphine) in combination with enFuse for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The Company will develop and commercialize SER-252 (POZ-apomorphine) in combination with enFuseTM for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The enFuseTM wearable technology from Enable is designed to overcome both IV infusion and other subcutaneous administration method shortcomings through fast, simple, and convenient delivery, benefiting patients, providers, as well as payers, with the ability for at home self-administration. The Company anticipates submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients in 2025. The Company paid $2.0 million in May 2024 for the Enable arrangement. The cost is being amortized on a straight-line basis through December 2025, with adjustments made based on management's quarterly progress reviews.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope under the Company’s agreements with other companies or consultants, typically for the Company’s research and development programs. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company will generally agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified parties for losses and expenses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties arising from claims of third parties in connection with the Company’s research and development. Indemnification provisions could also cover third-party infringement claims with respect to patent rights, copyrights, or other intellectual property licensed from the Company to third parties. Office and laboratory leases will also generally indemnify the lessor with respect to certain matters that may arise during the term of the lease. The Registration Rights Agreement between Juvenescence and the Company includes indemnification provisions pursuant to which the parties will indemnify each other from certain liabilities in connection with the registration, offer, and sale of securities under a registration statement, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Company has also agreed to provide the AST Indemnity and the ETC Indemnity pursuant to the Letter of Indemnification described in Note 5, Related Party Transactions. The term of these indemnification obligations will generally continue in effect after the termination or expiration of the particular license, lease, or agreement to which they relate. The potential future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements will generally not be subject to any specified maximum amount. Historically, the Company has not been subject to any claims or demands for indemnification. The Company also maintains various liability insurance policies that limit the Company’s financial exposure and in the case of the AST Indemnity and the ETC Indemnity the Company has received a cross-indemnity from Juvenescence against all claims, damages, liabilities or losses arising out of the AST Indemnity and the ETC Indemnity. As a result, the Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements to date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 24, 2025. Past operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods.

The following discussion includes forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements,” above. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and from historical results depending upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A.

All information presented in this report is based on our fiscal year. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to our fiscal years ending December 31 and the associated quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of wholly owned drug product candidates to treat neurological diseases and other indications. Our POZ platform provides the potential to improve the integrated efficacy and safety profile of multiple modalities including small molecules, RNA-based therapeutics and antibody-based drug conjugates (ADCs). Our proprietary POZ technology is based on a synthetic, water soluble, low viscosity polymer called poly(2-oxazoline). Our POZ technology is engineered to provide greater control in drug loading and more precision in the rate of release of attached drugs. The therapeutic agents in our product candidates are typically well-understood and marketed drugs that are effective but are limited by pharmacokinetic profiles that can include toxicity, side effects and short half-life. We believe that by using POZ technology, drugs with narrow therapeutic windows can be designed to maintain more desirable and stable levels in the blood.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Note 1 in our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Report.

On March 26, 2024, we completed the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Serina, with Legacy Serina surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary. Additionally, on March 26, 2024, we changed our name to “Serina Therapeutics, Inc.”

Our operations through June 30, 2025, have been financed primarily by aggregate net proceeds of $57.4 million from the issuance of convertible preferred stock, common stock, and convertible notes and exercise of Post-Merger Warrants to purchase our common shares by Juvenescence. Since our inception in 2006, we have had significant operating losses. Our operating loss was $5.6 million and $3.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $55.6 million and $6.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Our losses from operations, negative operating cash flows and accumulated deficit, as well as the additional capital needed to fund operations within one year of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements issuance date, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development of our product candidates and will require additional financing to continue this development.

Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our accounts payable and accrued expenses. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. In particular, we expect our expenses to increase as we continue our development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, as well as hire additional personnel, pay fees to outside consultants, attorneys, and accountants, and, incur other increased costs associated with being a public company. In addition, if and when we seek and obtain regulatory approval to commercialize any product candidate, we will also incur increased expenses in connection with commercialization and marketing of any such product. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities as we:

Table of Contents

•advance our lead product candidate, SER 252 into Phase I clinical trials;

•advance our other product candidates;

•advance our preclinical programs to clinical trials;

•further invest in our pipeline;

•seek regulatory approval for our investigational medicines;

•maintain, expand, protect, and defend our intellectual property portfolio;

•secure facilities to support continued growth in our research, development, and commercialization efforts; and

•increase our headcount to support our development efforts and to expand our clinical development team.

We have not had any products approved for sale. We do not expect to generate any product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution. As a result, until such time, if ever, that we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations, licenses, or similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms, if at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies, including our research and development activities. If we are unable to raise capital, we will need to delay, reduce, or terminate planned activities to reduce costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses and analyzes data in our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes 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. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual conditions may differ from our assumptions and actual results may differ from our estimates.

An accounting policy is deemed critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur, that could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report filed March 24, 2025 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Components of Operating Results

Grant Revenues

Our grants and contracts reimburse us for direct and indirect costs relating to the grant projects and also provide us with a pre-negotiated profit margin on total direct and indirect costs of the grant award, excluding subcontractor costs, after giving effect to directly attributable costs and allowable overhead costs. Funds received from grants and contracts are generally deemed to be earned and recognized as revenue as allowable costs are incurred during the grant or contract period and the right to payment is realized.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses since inception have consisted primarily of research and development expenses and general and administrative costs.

Table of Contents

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of our product candidates and our drug discovery efforts, which include:

•personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and equity-based compensation expense;

•expenses incurred under agreements with consultants and contract organizations that conduct research and development activities on our behalf;

•costs related to production of preclinical and clinical materials, including fees paid to contract manufacturers;

•laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical studies and planned clinical trials; and

•laboratory supplies and equipment used for internal research and development activities.

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Costs for certain research and development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information and data provided to us by our vendors and service providers.

Our research and development expenses are not currently tracked on a program-by-program basis. We use our personnel and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development programs directed toward identifying and developing product candidates and therefore have not implemented the systems and procedures to track research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis. We track research and development expenses based on the type of expense as further described below under “Results of Operations – Research and Development Expenses.” Substantially all our historical research and development costs were incurred in the development of our preclinical candidates and advancing research on our POZ lipid technology.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development activities related to developing our product candidates, including investments in conducting clinical trials, manufacturing and otherwise advancing our programs. The process of conducting the clinical research necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming, and the successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and the current stage of development of our product candidates and programs, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and estimated costs necessary to complete the remainder of the development of our product candidates or programs. We are also unable to predict if, when, or to what extent we will obtain approval and generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates. The duration, costs and timing of preclinical studies and clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including:

•successful completion of preclinical studies and initiation of clinical trials for future product candidates;

•successful enrollment and completion of clinical trials for our current product candidates;

•data from our clinical programs that support an acceptable risk benefit profile of our product candidates in the intended patient populations; acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") or other applicable regulatory agencies of the Investigational New Drug ("IND") applications, clinical trial applications and/or other regulatory filings for SER 252 and other product candidates.

•expansion and maintenance of a workforce of experienced scientists and others to continue to develop our product candidates;

•successful application for and receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

•obtainment and maintenance of intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates;

•making of arrangements with contract manufacturing organizations for, or establishment of, commercial manufacturing capabilities;

•establishment of sales, marketing and distribution capabilities and successful launch of commercial sales of our product candidates, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others;

•acceptance of our product candidates, if and when approved, by patients, the medical community and third party payors;

Table of Contents

•effective competition with other therapies;

•obtainment and maintenance of coverage, adequate pricing, and adequate reimbursement from third party payors, including government payors;

•maintenance, enforcement, defense, and protection of our rights in our intellectual property portfolio;

•avoidance of infringement, misappropriation, or other violations with respect to others’ intellectual property or proprietary rights; and

•maintenance of a continued acceptable safety profile of our products following receipt of any marketing approvals.

We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. We may obtain unexpected results from our preclinical studies and clinical trials. We may elect to discontinue, delay, or modify clinical trials of some product candidates or focus on others. A change in the outcome of any of these factors could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of our current and future preclinical and clinical product candidates. For example, if the FDA or another regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development, or if we experience significant delays in execution of or enrollment in any of our preclinical studies or clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of preclinical and clinical development.

Research and development activities account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to implement our business strategy, which includes advancing SER 252 and our other product candidates through clinical development, expanding our research and development efforts, including hiring additional personnel to support our research and development efforts, and seeking regulatory approvals for our product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials. In addition, product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally incur higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later stage clinical trials. As a result, we expect our research and development expenses to increase as our product candidates advance into later stages of clinical development. However, we do not believe that it is possible at this time to accurately project total program specific expenses through commercialization. There are numerous factors associated with the successful commercialization of any of our product candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, and other expenses for outside professional services, including legal, recruiting, audit and accounting, and facility related costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits and equity-based compensation expense for our personnel in executive and other administrative functions. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase over the next several years to support our continued research and development activities, manufacturing activities, increased costs of expanding our operations and operating as a public company. These increases will likely include increases related to the hiring of additional personnel and legal, regulatory, and other fees and services associated with maintaining compliance with the New York Stock Exchange American Company Guide and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance costs, and investor relations costs associated with being a public company.

Other Income/(Expense)

Our other income (expenses) are comprised of interest income on our cash equivalents, changes in fair value of our convertible notes and liability-classified warrants, and interest accrued from the convertible notes.

Revenues

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were not material.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of $1.6 million is primarily due to increases of $1.2 million in outside research services, $0.3 million in consultant spend for research programs and $0.6 million in salaries, payroll related expenses and stock based compensation as a result of increased headcount and increase of $0.1 million in miscellaneous expenses amounts that were individually insignificant. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in professional fees for the maintenance of certain patent and other intellectual property and biological material assets included in Legacy Assets and a decrease of $0.3 million in severance and related costs. See Note 1, Organization, Business Overview and Liquidity to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information about the Legacy Assets.

Research and development expenses were $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of $3.4 million is primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in outside research

Table of Contents

services and $0.5 million in consultant spend for research programs and $1.3 million in salaries, payroll related expenses and stock based compensation as a result of increased headcount and net $0.1 million increase in expenses amounts that were individually insignificant. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in severance and related costs.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of $0.2 million is due primarily to increases of $0.3 million in stock based compensation expenses as a result of new option grants and $0.3 million of consulting expenses primarily for critical finance functions, including financial planning, reporting, and operations, as well as the deployment of new platforms and software. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in legal fees primarily as the result of the conclusion of our post-merger compliance and reporting activities.

General and administrative expenses were $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of $1.9 million is due primarily to increases of $1.2 million of salaries and stock based compensation expenses as a result of new hires and directors, $0.8 million of consulting expenses primarily for critical finance functions, including financial planning, reporting, and operations, as well as the deployment of new platforms and software, a $0.1 million increase in directors and officers insurance and $0.2 million related to the maintenance of certain patent and other intellectual property, and biological material assets included in Legacy Assets. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in legal fees primarily as the result of the conclusion of our post-merger compliance and reporting activities.

Other income (expense), net

Other expense, net was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $9.0 million net income for the same period in 2024. The $9.9 million increase in expenses is primarily attributable to the $10.3 million change in fair value relating to the fair value of liability classified warrants, which was offset by the decrease in $0.3 million in interest expense and $0.1 million in other expenses that were individually insignificant.

Other income was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.7 million net expense for the same period in 2024. The $3.8 million change is primarily attributable to a decrease of $7.0 million loss from the change in fair value relating to the Legacy Serina Convertible Notes and the AgeX-Serina Note and a decrease of $0.5 million in interest expense which was offset by the $3.7 million decrease in gain from the change in fair value of liability classified Merger Warrants.

See Notes 6, Fair Value Measurements and Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information on fair value adjustments of convertible promissory notes, Legacy Serina warrants, liability classified Merger Warrants, and conversion of the AgeX-Serina Note upon consummation of the Merger on March 26, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We had $6.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025. Our operations have been financed primarily by the issuance of common stock, convertible preferred stock, and convertible notes by AgeX and Serina prior to the Merger. Post Merger, our operations have been funded by the exercise of Post-Merger warrants, $5.0 million from Juvenescence in June 2024, and the issuance of common stock to Juvenescence whereby we issued 1,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate amount of $10.0 million which were received in two $5.0 million tranches in November 2024 and January 2025.

In April 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors for a private placement of securities. At the closing of the Private Placement, we issued an aggregate of 965,250 shares of newly authorized Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001, at a purchase price of $5.18 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $4.9 million. Each

Table of Contents

share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value ($0.0001), at a conversion price of $5.18 per share and has a cumulative annual dividend of 8% beginning on March 31, 2026.

Additionally, on April 25, 2025, we entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (the "Sales Agent"), with respect to an at-the-market offering ("ATM") program under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $13.3 million through the Sales Agent. We will pay the Sales Agent a commission up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any shares sold under the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, we have sold 124,454 shares of common stock at an average price of $5.83, resulting in net proceeds of $0.6 million under the ATM.

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Since inception, we have had significant operating losses and negative cash flows and as of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $55.6 million. Our losses from operations, negative operating cash flows and accumulated deficit, as well as the additional capital needed to fund operations within one year of the issuance date of our consolidated interim financial statements included in this Report, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development of our product candidates and will require additional financing to continue this development. Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The unavailability or inadequacy of financing to meet future capital needs could force us to modify, curtail, delay, or suspend some or all aspects of planned operations.

Funding Requirements

Any product candidates we may develop may never achieve commercialization, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, costs related to pre-clinical and clinical research, clinical studies, manufacturing, and development services; laboratory expenses and costs for related supplies; compensation and related expenses; license payments or milestone obligations that may arise; legal and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs.

We believe that our cash on hand will not be sufficient to enable us to fund our operations through one year from the balance sheet date based on our current plan. To finance our operations beyond that point, we will need to raise additional capital, which cannot be assured. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We will continue to require additional financing to advance our current product candidates through clinical development, to develop, acquire or in license other potential product candidates and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. We will continue to seek funds through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses, and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies. If we are unable to raise capital, we will need to delay, reduce, or terminate planned activities to reduce costs.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

•the progress, costs and results of IND enabling studies for our lead product candidate SER 252 and our potential future clinical trials for SER 252;

Table of Contents

•the scope, progress, results and costs of discovery research, preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our other product candidates;

•the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•our ability to enter into contract manufacturing arrangements for supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, and manufacture of our product candidates and the terms of such arrangements;

•our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such arrangements;

•the payment or receipt of milestones and receipt of other collaboration-based revenues, if any; the costs and timing of any future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we may receive marketing approval;

•the amount and timing of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•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;

•the extent to which we acquire or in license other products, product candidates, technologies, or data referencing rights;

•the ability to receive additional nondilutive funding, including grants from organizations and foundations; and

•the costs of operating as a public company

Further, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials and other research and development activities. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated product development programs.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the major sources and uses of cash for the periods set forth below (in thousands):


	Six months ended June 30,
	2025		2024		$ Change		% Change
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(8,072)	$	(9,586)	$	1,514	(15.8	%)

Net increase (decrease) in cash	$	2,369	$	(1,505)	$	3,874	(257.4)	%

Operating Activities

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $11.3 million. Net cash used in operating activities during this period amounted to $8.1 million. The $3.2 million difference between the net loss and net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was comprised of offsetting non-cash items of $2.1 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $1.2 million. The non-cash items primarily consisted of $1.8 million in stock-based compensation, $0.1 million equity compensation to consultants for services and $0.2 million in non-cash lease expenses. The net $1.2 million cash from operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $1.0 million increase in accounts payable that was offset by a $0.1 million decrease in accrued expenses, a $0.4 million increase in other current liabilities and a $0.1 million decrease in operating lease liabilities.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $9.8 million. Net cash used in operating activities during this period amounted to $9.5 million. The $0.3 million difference between the net loss and net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to certain non-cash items, including changes in the fair value of convertible notes among other non-cash items totaling $4.3 million as well as a decrease in accrued interest on AgeX-Serina Note of approximately $0.2 million due to consummation of Merger on March 26, 2024. These changes were offset to some extent by changes of $2.7 million in prepaid expenses (comprised of $2 million in prepaid technology access fee and $0.7 million in other prepaid expenses), $1.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $0.2 million from the effect of net changes in operating lease liabilities and amount due to related party.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $10.5 million is primarily due to net proceeds received of $4.9 million from issuance of common stock to Juvenescence in January 2025, $5.0 million received in April 2025 from a Securities Purchase Agreement entered with certain investors for a private placement of securities, $0.6 million net proceeds from our ATM. See Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity, to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Net cash provided by financing activities six months ended June 30, 2024 of $8.1 million is primarily attributable to $5.0 million proceeds received from the exercise of 377,865 Post-Merger Warrants by Juvenescence, $2.9 million drawn under the credit facilities from Juvenescence and approximately $0.3 million cash and restricted cash acquired in connection with the Merger. These changes were offset to some extent by $0.1 million repayments of principal on loan facilities to Juvenescence. See Note 5, Related Party Transactions, to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information about our loan agreements with Juvenescence.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Under SEC rules and regulations, as a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Following this review and evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to material weaknesses described below.

In light of the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures are considered ineffective as of June 30, 2025, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regard to this quarterly report. Accordingly, the Company believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures discussed above, we identified material weaknesses due to a lack of internal controls at the Company. Specifically, management has determined the following:

•management does not have sufficient qualified accounting personnel to support the preparation of financial statements that comply with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements

•a lack of validation of completeness and accuracy of internally prepared data, including key reports generated from systems, utilized in the operations of controls;

•inadequate controls and segregation of duties due to limited resources and number of employees;

•substantial reliance on manual reporting processes and spreadsheets external to the accounting system for financial reporting leading to delays in the Company’s closing process; and

•a lack of experience in monitoring and administering the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

To mitigate the items identified in the assessment, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals/consultants.

Remediation Plan

We began implementation of remedial measures to address the material weaknesses, which primarily stem from our small workforce and limited resources prior to the Merger. Following the Merger, the accounting and financial operations personnel and resources from AgeX started to monitor and administer Legacy Serina’s internal controls over financial reporting and development. In the second half of 2024, we began certain of the following measures for our remediation plan:

•We engaged financial operations employees and consultants to assess and establish internal controls.

•To strengthen our accounting and finance team, we hired professionals with technical expertise in public company accounting and financial reporting experience.

•In addition to expanding our internal team, we leverage third-party consultants and specialists to provide technical accounting experience and assist with systems implementation.

•We developed standardized templates and implemented enhanced processes and procedures for accounting, financial close and reporting.

•We implemented automation and integration improvements in our financial IT systems, and are actively working on further enhancements to our platforms.

The material weaknesses will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully developed and implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing by management and by our independent accountants, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Controls

Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness Over Financial Reporting

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but there can be no assurance such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this report, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects are subject to various risks, including those described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2025, which we encourage you to review. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K, except as set forth below:

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

We may sell up to $13.3 million of shares of our common stock in "at-the-market" offerings pursuant to a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") entered into on April 25, 2025 with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or anticipation of such sales, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline or make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise desire. In addition, there can be no assurance regarding the price at which we will be able to sell shares under the Sales Agreement, and any sales of our common stock under the Sales Agreement may be at prices that result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.

The FDA regulatory approval process is lengthy, time consuming, and inherently unpredictable, and we may experience significant delays in the clinical development and regulatory approval, if any, of our product candidates.

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, selling, import, export, adverse event reporting, record keeping, advertising, promotion, and distribution of drug products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States. We are not permitted to market any drug product in the United States until we receive approval from the FDA. We have not previously submitted an NDA to the FDA, or similar approval filings to comparable foreign authorities. An NDA must include extensive nonclinical and clinical data and supporting information to establish that the product candidate is safe, pure, potent, and effective for each desired indication. The NDA must also include significant information regarding the chemistry, manufacturing, and controls for the product, and the manufacturing facilities must complete a successful pre license inspection. The FDA may also require a panel of experts, referred to as an Advisory Committee, to deliberate on the adequacy of the safety and efficacy data to support approval. The opinion of the Advisory Committee, although not binding, may have a significant impact on our ability to obtain licensure of the product candidates based on the completed clinical trials. Accordingly, the regulatory approval pathway for our product candidates may be uncertain, complex, expensive, and lengthy, and approval may not be obtained.

Further, we are reliant on regulators having the resources necessary to evaluate and approve our products. In the United States, a partial federal government shutdown halted the work of many federal agencies and their employees from late December 2018 through late January 2019. A subsequent extended shutdown or, pursuant to the new Administration’s actions in early 2025 to freeze or reduce the federal workforce, significant reductions of, or disruptions to, staffing and resources available to government agencies could result in reductions or delays of FDA’s activities, including with respect to our ongoing clinical programs, our manufacturing of our products and product candidates and our product approvals. Recent initiatives to reduce the size and budgets of government agencies, including the FDA, may adversely impact our operations. In particular, reductions in staffing and resources at the FDA could result in delays in regulatory review timelines.
