CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties inherent in our statements regarding:
| ● | we have generated no significant revenue from commercial sales to date and our future profitability is uncertain; |
| ● | if we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, we will be unable to continue or complete our product development and you will likely lose your entire investment; |
| ● | our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern; |
| ● | we may need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all; |
| ● | even if we can raise additional funding, we may be required to do so on terms that are dilutive to you.; |
| ● | the regulatory approval process is expensive, time-consuming and uncertain and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of our future product candidates, if any; |
| ● | we may encounter substantial delays in completing our clinical studies which in turn will require additional costs, or we may fail to demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities; |
| ● | if our future pre-clinical development and future clinical Phase I/II studies are unsuccessful, we may be unable to obtain regulatory approval of, or commercialize, our product candidates on a timely basis or at all; |
| ● | even if we receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we may not be able to successfully commercialize the product and the revenue that we generate from their sales, if any, may be limited; |
| ● | adverse events involving our products may lead the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory agency to delay or deny clearance for our products or result in product recalls that could harm our reputation, business and financial results; |
| ● | certain technologies are subject to licenses from LLU and Stanford (as defined below), each of which are revocable in certain circumstances, including in the event we do not achieve certain payments and milestone deadlines. Without these licenses, we may not be able to continue to develop our product candidates; |
| ● | if we were to lose our CLIA certification or state laboratory licenses, whether as a result of a revocation, suspension or limitation, we would no longer be able to offer our assays (including our AditxtScore™ platform), which would limit our revenues and harm our business. If we were to lose, or fail to obtain, a license in any other state where we are required to hold a license, we would not be able to test specimens from those states; |
| ● | our results of operations will be affected by the level of royalty and milestone payments that we are required to pay to third parties; |
| ● | we face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do; |
ii
| ● | our technologies and products under development, and our business, may fail if we are not able to successfully commercialize them and ultimately generate significant revenues as a result; |
| ● | customers may not adopt our products quickly, or at all; |
| ● | the failure to obtain or maintain patents, licensing agreements and other intellectual property could materially impact our ability to compete effectively; |
| ● | some of our intellectual property may be subject to “march-in” rights by the U.S. federal government; |
| ● | we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future; |
| ● | we have issued a significant number of shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants and may continue to do so in the future. The conversion and/or exercise of these securities and the sale of the shares of common stock issuable thereunder may dilute your percentage ownership interest and may also result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock; |
| ● | we have issued a significant number of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, options and warrants and may continue to do so in the future. The vesting and, if applicable, exercise of these securities and the sale of the shares of common stock issuable thereunder may dilute your percentage ownership interest and may also result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock; |
| ● | while we have entered into a Merger Agreement with Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and an Arrangement Agreement with Appili Therapeutics, Inc., we cannot assure you that such transactions will be consummated or, that if such transaction is consummated, that it will be accretive to stockholder value; | |
| ● | we may engage in future acquisitions or strategic transactions, including the transactions Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and Appili Therapeutics, Inc., which may require us to seek additional financing or financial commitments, increase our expenses and/or present significant distractions to our management; | |
| ● | we have entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with an equity line investor pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $150 million of our common stock, which could result in significant dilution; |
iii
| ● | we have entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $35 million of our common stock, which could result in significant dilution | |
| ● | On April 8, 2025, we received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC stating that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Consequently, the hearing before the Hearings Panel scheduled to take place on April 22, 2025 has been cancelled, however, no assurance can be provided that we will be successful in continuing to remain compliant with the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market; and |
| ● | exclusive forum provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. |
All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if such results, changes, or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Offerings
On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “May PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed
to issue and sell to such investors in a private placement (the “May 2024 Private Placement”) (i) an aggregate of
On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a
securities purchase agreement (the “Registered Direct Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant
to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors
The closing of the sales of these securities under
the Registered Direct Purchase Agreement took place on August 9, 2024. The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history and is in the very early stages of generating revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: changes in the biotechnology regulatory environment, technological advances that render our technologies obsolete, availability of resources for clinical trials, acceptance of technologies into the medical community, and competition from larger, more well-funded companies. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

Nasdaq Notification Letter
On October 3, 2024, the Company was notified (the
“October Notification Letter”) by Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities
to maintain a minimum bid price of $
We were notified by the Listing Qualifications
Staff of Nasdaq that it has determined that as of March 6, 2025, the Company’s securities had a closing bid price of $
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN ANALYSIS
Management Plans
The Company was incorporated on September 28,
2017 and has not generated significant revenues to date. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $
As of March 31, 2025, the Company was subject
to the offering limits in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 (the “Baby Shelf Limitation”). Thus, the maximum amount of
securities that the Company could offer and sell under its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 as of March 31, 2025 was approximately
$
On November 21, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the Public Float Rule. On December 29, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule but will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year. See Risk Factors and Note 12 for additional details regarding Nasdaq compliance.
If we are delisted from Nasdaq, but obtain a substitute listing for our common stock, it will likely be on a market with less liquidity, and therefore experience potentially more price volatility than experienced on Nasdaq. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of common stock on any such substitute market in the quantities, at the times, or at the prices that could potentially be available on a more liquid trading market. As a result of these factors, if our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the value and liquidity of our common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants would likely be significantly adversely affected. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and/or result in a loss of confidence by investors, employees and/or business partners.
8
The Company continues to actively pursue numerous capital raising transactions with the objective of obtaining sufficient bridge funding to meet the Company’s existing capital needs as well as more substantial capital raises to meet the Company’s longer-term needs.
In addition, factors such as stock price, volatility, trading volume, market conditions, demand and regulatory requirements may adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital in an efficient manner. Because of these factors, the Company believes that this creates substantial doubt with the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition to the shelf registration, the Company has the ability to raise capital from equity or debt through private placements or public offerings pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1. We may also secure loans from related parties.
The financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to complete clinical studies and implement the business plan, generate sufficient revenues and to control operating expenses. In addition, the Company is consistently focused on raising capital, strategic acquisitions and alliances, and other initiatives to strengthen the Company.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aditxt, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and, one majority owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying the financial statements include the value of preferred shares issued and related derivative liability, our investment in Evofem preferred stock and the fair value of stock options and warrants.
9
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. |
| Level 2 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 - | Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates, with the exception of the derivative liability.
The following table provides a summary of financial instruments that are measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash accounts at financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Company may have deposits in excess of federally insured limits.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant concentrations of credit risk on its cash balances on amounts in excess of federally insured limits due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held.
Substantially all the Company’s accounts receivable are with companies in the healthcare industry, individuals, and the U.S. government. However, concentration of credit risk is mitigated due to the Company’s number of customers. In addition, for receivables due from U.S. government agencies, the Company does not believe the receivables represent a credit risk as these are related to healthcare programs funded by the U.S. government and payment is primarily dependent upon submitting the appropriate documentation.
10
Cash
Cash includes short-term, liquid investments with maturities less than 90 days.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management
expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company
determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, gross accounts receivable was $
Inventory
Inventory consists of laboratory materials and supplies used in laboratory analysis. We capitalize inventory when purchased. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. We periodically perform obsolescence assessments and write off any inventory that is no longer usable.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures for furniture, office equipment, laboratory equipment, and other assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. The costs of fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease life of the related assets.
Useful lives assigned to fixed assets are as follows:
| Computers | ||
| Lab Equipment | ||
| Office Furniture | Five to | |
| Other fixed assets | Five to | |
| Leasehold Improvements |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment.
11
Investments
The Evofem investment is included in its own line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Under ASC 321 the Company accounts for equity investments at fair value. If fair value is not readily determinable or marketable, the Company values at cost less impairment.
Non-marketable equity investments (for which we do not have significant influence or control) are investments without readily determinable fair values that are recorded based on initial cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities, if any. All gains and losses on investments in non-marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in investment and other income (expense), net.
We monitor equity method and non-marketable equity investments for events or circumstances that could indicate the investments are impaired, such as a deterioration in the investee’s financial condition and business forecasts and lower valuations in recently completed or anticipated financings, and recognize a charge to investment and other income (expense), net for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. For equity method investments, we record impairment losses in earnings only when impairments are considered other-than-temporary.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in equity investments. This investment has been recorded at cost in accordance with ASC 321.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews and evaluates the net carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually, or upon the occurrence of other events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Per ASC 360-10-35-21, a long-lived asset (asset group) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Per ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.
12
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accounts payable and accrued expenses was comprised of:

Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its options, warrants, other equity instruments, and other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10-05-4 and 815-40-25. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company has determined that a derivative feature

The Company valued the derivative based on the
conversion formula outlined in the certificate of designation for the preferred stock. Per the formula, the stated value was $

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Offering Costs
Offering costs incurred in connection with equity are recorded as a reduction of equity and offering costs incurred in connection with debt are recorded as a reduction of debt as a debt discount.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606 (Revenue From Contracts with Customers), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| 3) | Determine the transaction price |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
Revenues reported from services relating to the AditxtScore™ are recognized when the AditxtScoreTM report is delivered to the customer. The services performed include the analysis of specimens received in the Company’s CLIA laboratory and the generation of results which are then delivered upon completion.
The Company recognizes revenue in the following manner for the following types of customers:
Client Payers:
Client payers include physicians or other entities for which services are billed based on negotiated fee schedules. The Company principally estimates the allowance for credit losses for client payers based on historical collection experience and the period of time the receivable has been outstanding.
Cash Pay:
Customers are billed based on established patient fee schedules or fees negotiated with physicians on behalf of their patients. Collection of billings is subject to credit risk and the ability of the patients to pay.
Insurance:
Reimbursements from healthcare insurers are based on fee for service schedules. Net revenues recognized consist of amounts billed net of contractual allowances for differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive from such payers, collection experience, and the terms of the Company’s contractual arrangements.
14
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or implicitly contains a lease as well as if the lease is classified as an operating or finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842), at inception based on the lease definition. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date or the adoption date for existing leases based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using an estimated discount rate.
Under Topic 842 (Leases), operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The Company has operating leases consisting of office space, laboratory space, and lab equipment.
We have made a policy election regarding our real estate leases not to separate nonlease components from lease components, to the extent they are fixed. Nonlease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense. Our leases for laboratory and office facilities typically include variable nonlease components, such as common-area maintenance costs. We have also elected not to record on the consolidated balance sheets a lease that has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not contain a purchase option that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We combine the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right of use (“ROU”) assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.
Patents
The Company incurs fees from patent licenses, which are reflected in
research and development expenses, and are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred
patent licensing fees of $
Research and Development
We incur research and development costs during
the process of researching and developing our technologies and future offerings. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs
qualify for capitalization under applicable guidance. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred research
and development costs of $
Sales and Marketing
We incur sales and marketing costs marketing our
technologies. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs qualify for capitalization under applicable guidance. During the three

Non-controlling Interest in Subsidiary

cumulative results of operations and changes in deficit attributable to non-controlling shareholders. During the three months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed
by dividing the net loss attributable of common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus
the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents.

NOTE 8 – LEASES
Our lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for all leases that commenced prior to that date. In determining this rate, which is used to determine the present value of future lease payments, we estimate the rate of interest we would pay on a collateralized basis, with similar payment terms as the lease and in a similar economic environment.

License Agreement with Leland Stanford Junior University
On February 3, 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “February 2020 License Agreement”) with Stanford regarding a patent concerning a method for detection and measurement of specific cellular responses. Pursuant to the February 2020 License Agreement, we received an exclusive worldwide license to Stanford’s patent regarding use, import, offer, and sale of Licensed Products (as defined in the agreement). The license to the patented technology is exclusive, including the right to sublicense, beginning on the effective date of the agreement, and ending when the patent expires. Under the exclusivity agreement, we acknowledged that Stanford had already granted a non-exclusive license in the Nonexclusive Field of Use, under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory (as those terms are defined in the February 2020 License Agreement”). However, Stanford agreed to not grant further licenses under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory. On December 29, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the February 2020 License Agreement which extended our exclusive right to license the technology deployed in AditxtScoreTM and securing worldwide exclusivity in all fields of use of the licensed technology.
We were obligated to pay and paid a fee of $
In addition to the annual license maintenance fees outlined above, we will pay Stanford royalties on Net Sales (as such term is defined in the February 2020 License Agreement) during the of the term of the agreement as follows: 4% when Net Sales are below or equal to $5 million annually or 6% when Net Sales are above $5 million annually. The February 2020 License Agreement may be terminated upon our election on at least 30 days advance notice to Stanford, or by Stanford if we: (i) are delinquent on any report or payment; (ii) are not diligently developing and commercializing Licensed Product; (iii) miss certain performance milestones; (iv) are in breach of any provision of the February 2020 License Agreement; or (v) provide any false report to Stanford. Should any events in the preceding sentence occur, we have a thirty (30) day cure period to remedy such violation.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has incurred losses since inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not provide any provision for income taxes as the Company incurred losses during such period. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company has considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets using a “more likely than not” standard. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those factors set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data” and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A.
Overview and Mission
We believe the world needs—and deserves—a new approach to innovating that harnesses the power of large groups of stakeholders who work together to ensure that the most promising innovations make it into the hands of people who need them most.
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 28, 2017, and our headquarters are in Mountain View, California. The Company was founded with a mission of bringing stakeholders together, to transform promising innovations into products and services that could address some of the most challenging needs. The socialization of innovation through engaging stakeholders in every aspect of it, is key to transforming more innovations, more rapidly, and more efficiently.
At inception, the first innovation we took on was an immune modulation technology titled ADI/Adimune with a focus on prolonging life and enhancing life quality of patients that have undergone organ transplants. Since then, we expanded our portfolio of innovations, and we continue to evaluate a variety of promising health innovations.
ADIMUNE, INC.
Formed in January 2023, Adimune™, Inc. (“Adimune”) is focused on leading our immune modulation therapeutic programs. Adimune’s proprietary immune modulation product Apoptotic DNA Immunotherapy™ (ADI™) utilizes a novel approach that mimics the way our bodies naturally induce tolerance to our own tissues. It includes two DNA molecules designed to deliver signals to induce tolerance. ADI-100, the first product candidate based on the ADI platform, is designed to tolerize against an antigen known as glutamic acid decarboxylase (“GAD”), which is implicated in type-1 diabetes, psoriasis, and in many autoimmune diseases of the CNS and has been successfully tested in several preclinical models (e.g., skin grafting, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis).
All preclinical studies ADI-100 have been completed providing several data points supporting the potential effectiveness of ADI-100 in restoring durable tolerance over the 10-month duration of the T1D studies both in prevention and treatment study designs. Preclinical safety and toxicology studies have shown absence of drug toxicity, no antibody formation to the drug product, and a lack of persistence in all organs evaluated. Furthermore, Adimune has demonstrated in three separate preclinical studies that ADI-100 does not impair the responsiveness of the immune system to combat infection, cancer, or the tumor fighting capabilities of checkpoint inhibitors.
49
Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) clinical-grade drug substances have been successfully manufactured by a qualified contract manufacturer. The clinical grade drug substances are now being prepared for shipment to another contract manufacturer to be formulated into the final drug product in preparation for stability testing and use in the clinical trials pending required regulatory submissions. Lastly, two remaining drug product release assays specifically designed for ADI-100 are in the final stages of validation to be used once the final drug product is ready.
Preclinical and manufacturing data, including the clinical-grade drug substance, are essential components of the complete dossier that we intend to submit to the regulatory agencies, which evaluate the safety and quality of the final drug product to be administered in the clinical trials. Adimune has had pre-submission meetings with the regulatory agency in Germany and has completed the additional studies requested.
For the clinical trials that are planned in Germany, Adimune has engaged with a Contract Research Organization (CRO) to manage the process, including site selection for clinical studies planned in psoriasis and type 1 diabetes. In parallel, Adimune is working with the Mayo Clinic to prepare the IND package for FDA submission and is awaiting a pre-IND meeting expected in the second quarter of this year to review the package before full submission. In May 2023, Adimune entered into a clinical trial agreement with Mayo Clinic to advance clinical studies targeting autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (“CNS”) with the initial focus on the rare, but debilitating, autoimmune disease Stiff Person Syndrome (“SPS”). According to the National Organization of Rare Diseases, the exact incidence and prevalence of SPS is unknown; however, one estimate places the incidence at approximately one in one million individuals in the general population. Pending approval by the International Review Board and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a human trial for SPS is expected get underway in 2025 with enrollment of 10-20 patients, some of whom may also have type 1 diabetes. ADI-100 will initially be tested for safety and efficacy.
Background
The discovery of immunosuppressive (anti-rejection and monoclonal) drugs over 40 years ago has made possible life-saving organ transplantation procedures and blocking of unwanted immune responses in autoimmune diseases. However, immune suppression leads to significant undesirable side effects, such as increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections and cancers, because it indiscriminately and broadly suppresses immune function throughout the body. While the use of these drugs has been justifiable because they prevent or delay organ rejection, their use for treatment of autoimmune diseases and allergies may not be acceptable because of the aforementioned side effects. Furthermore, often transplanted organs ultimately fail despite the use of immune suppression, and about 40% of transplanted organs survive no more than five years.
Through Aditxt, Adimune has the right of use to the exclusive worldwide license for commercializing ADI nucleic acid-based technology (which is currently at the pre-clinical stage) from Loma Linda University. ADI uses a novel approach that mimics the way the body naturally induces tolerance to our own tissues (“therapeutically induced immune tolerance”). While immune suppression requires continuous administration to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, induction of tolerance has the potential to retrain the immune system to accept the organ for longer periods of time. ADI may allow patients to live with transplanted organs with significantly reduced immune suppression. ADI is a technology platform which we believe can be engineered to address a wide variety of indications.
Advantages
ADI™ is a nucleic acid-based technology (e.g., DNA-based), which we believe selectively suppresses only those immune cells involved in attacking or rejecting self and transplanted tissues and organs. It does so by tapping into the body’s natural process of cell turnover (i.e., apoptosis) to retrain the immune system to stop unwanted attacks on self or transplanted tissues. Apoptosis is a natural process used by the body to clear dying cells and to allow recognition and tolerance to self-tissues. ADI triggers this process by enabling the cells of the immune system to recognize the targeted tissues as “self.” Conceptually, it is designed to retrain the immune system to accept the tissues, similar to how natural apoptosis reminds our immune system to be tolerant to our own “self” tissues.
50
While various groups have promoted tolerance through cell therapies and ex vivo manipulation of patient cells (i.e., takes place outside the body), to our knowledge, we will be unique in our approach of using in-body induction of apoptosis to promote tolerance to specific tissues. In addition, ADI treatment itself will not require additional hospitalization but only an injection of minute amounts of the therapeutic drug into the skin.
Moreover, preclinical studies have demonstrated that ADI treatment significantly and substantially prolongs graft survival, in addition to successfully “reversing” other established immune-mediated inflammatory processes.
License Agreement with Loma Linda University (“LLU”)
On March 15, 2018, we entered into a License Agreement with LLU, which was subsequently amended on July 1, 2020. Pursuant to the LLU License Agreement, we obtained the exclusive royalty-bearing worldwide license to all intellectual property, including patents, technical information, trade secrets, proprietary rights, technology, know-how, data, formulas, drawings, and specifications, owned or controlled by LLU and/or any of its affiliates (the “LLU Patent and Technology Rights”) and related to therapy for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (the ADI™ technology). In consideration for the LLU License Agreement, we issued 1 shares of common stock to LLU.
PEARSANTA, INC.
The best approach may be its early detection. Pearsanta is pioneering the development of molecular tests based on the mitochondrial genome to develop tests for early detection of cancer. Though further technical development and clinical validation is required to determine efficacy in multiple diseases and disease states, our management believes that the unique structural and functional characteristics of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and more specifically mutated mtDNA, make mtDNA a biological system for biomarker identification, early disease detection, monitoring, risk assessment, and therapeutic targeting.
Pearsanta acquired the assets of MDNA Life Sciences Inc. on January 4, 2024. Through the acquisition of these assets, and in particular the Mitomic Technology platform, patents, and intellectual property, our management believes that the Pearsanta is well positioned for research and discovery of mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers, and though untested and requiring clinical validation, the development and commercial application of mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers for a wide spectrum of human diseases.
Pearsanta is continuing to leverage this technology to discover mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers. Though Pearsanta has no commercially available FDA or foreign regulator approved products, Pearsanta has two product candidates in develop and hopes to enter the cancer screening market with these two product candidates, and if proven successful continue to discover mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers and develop a pipeline of disease screening and diagnostics tests. The current in-development products include a potential product for prostate cancer diagnosis and a potential product for the detection of endometriosis. Pearsanta has also discovered mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers, which it believes are associated with ovarian cancer and lung cancer; and Pearsanta intends to pursue the biomarker identification phase of development for pancreatic, liver, breast, stomach, esophageal, and colorectal cancers.
Licensed Technologies – AditxtScoreTM
We issued Pearsanta an exclusive worldwide sub-license for commercializing the AditxtScore™ technology which provides a personalized comprehensive profile of the immune system. AditxtScore is intended to detect individual immune responses to viruses, bacteria, peptides, drugs, supplements, bone marrow and solid organ transplants, and cancer. It has broad applicability to many other agents of clinical interest impacting the immune system, including those not yet identified such as emerging infectious agents.
AditxtScore is being designed to enable individuals and their healthcare providers to understand, manage and monitor their immune profiles and to stay informed about attacks on or by their immune system. We believe AditxtScore can also assist the medical community and individuals by being able to anticipate the immune system’s potential response to viruses, bacteria, allergens, and foreign tissues such as transplanted organs. This technology may be able to serve as a warning signal, thereby allowing for more time to respond appropriately. Its advantages include the ability to provide simple, rapid, accurate, high throughput assays that can be multiplexed to determine the immune status with respect to several factors simultaneously, in approximately 3-16 hours. In addition, it can determine and differentiate between distinct types of cellular and humoral immune responses (e.g., T and B cells and other cell types). It also provides for simultaneous monitoring of cell activation and levels of cytokine release (i.e., cytokine storms).
51
In collaboration with its partners, the platforms underlying AditxtScore are being further evaluated for evaluating the immune status of individuals including those with hypersensitivity to certain antigens (e.g., patients with autoimmunity). These tests may become tools that can monitor dynamic changes after administration of immunotherapies designed to tolerize to these target antigens.
Advantages
The sophistication of the AditxtScore technology includes the following:
| ● | greater sensitivity/specificity. |
| ● | 20-fold higher dynamic range, greatly reducing signal to noise compared to conventional assays. |
| ● | ability to customize assays and multiplex a large number of analytes with speed and efficiency. |
| ● | ability to test for cellular immune responses (i.e., T and B cells and cytokines). |
| ● | proprietary reporting algorithm. |
License Agreement with Leland Stanford Junior University (“Stanford”)
On February 3, 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “February 2020 License Agreement”) with Stanford with regard to a patent concerning a method for detection and measurement of specific cellular responses. Pursuant to the February 2020 License Agreement, we received an exclusive worldwide license to Stanford’s patent with regard to use, import, offer, and sale of Licensed Products (as defined in the agreement). The license to the patented technology is exclusive, including the right to sublicense, beginning on the effective date of the agreement, and ending when the patent expires. Under the exclusivity agreement, we acknowledged that Stanford had already granted a non-exclusive license in the Nonexclusive Field of Use, under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory (as those terms are defined in the “February 2020 License Agreement”). However, Stanford agreed not to grant further licenses under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory. On December 29, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the February 2020 License Agreement which extended our exclusive right to license the technology deployed in AditxtScoreTM and securing worldwide exclusivity in all fields of use of the licensed technology.
Acquired Technologies – Mitomic® Technology Platform
In January 2024 Pearsanta acquired the assets comprising our Mitomic® Technology platform from MDNA Life Sciences Inc. This platform seeks to harness the unique properties of mitochondrial DNA (“mtDNA”) to detect disease through non-invasive, blood-based liquid biopsies. Though further technical development and clinical validation is required to determine efficacy in multiple diseases and disease states, our management believes that the unique structural and functional characteristics of mtDNA, and more specifically mutated mtDNA, make mtDNA a biological system for biomarker identification, early disease detection, monitoring, risk assessment, and therapeutic targeting.
Pearsanta plans to license distribution rights through various agreements with U.S.-based and international business partners to commercialize our Mitomic® Technology, should Mitomic® tests be successfully developed and successfully approved by the FDA or a foreign regulator. We believe our biomarker portfolio covers many high-clinical need cancers, with potential applications outside oncology.
Pearsanta a state-of-the-art facility located in Richmond VA, that is a high-complexity, CLIA-certified, and CAP-accredited laboratory equipped to accommodate rapid development and rollout of innovative laboratory tests for the clinical market. Our laboratory facility is optimized for contamination prevention including dedicated workspaces for key functions; advanced molecular biology capabilities including digital PCR, real-time PCR, automated electrophoresis with scale-up capacity and redundancy; and automated and semi-automated (robotic) processes for DNA/RNA isolation and liquid handling to achieve efficient and standardized workflows.

Our Mitomic® Products and Product Candidates
The Mitomic® Technology targets mutations in mitochondrial DNA to detect disease. Every human cell is home to multiple copies of mitochondrial DNA, some of which become mutated beyond repair when cells are stressed by diseases such as cancer. Though further technical development and clinical validation is required to determine efficacy, Mitomic® tests are being designed to detect this mutated DNA, which can accumulate from the very early stages of a disease. If the development of Mitomic® tests is successful and if Mitomic® tests can achieve their still unproven objective of early disease detection, our Mitomic® Technology presents an opportunity to detect disease before it presents clinically.
The Mitomic® Technology platform is designed to identify biomarker targets, develop robust assays, discover new biomarkers, and develop new products. The biomarker identification program is based on the identification of a new class of molecules generated through a process associated with mitochondria. The Mitomic® Technology platform has already discovered biomarkers which are believed to be associated with cancer and has generated an “in-silico” database, which is an experiment that generates thousands of potential biomarkers, developed through computer software and simulation.
To date, the Mitomic® Technology biomarker discoveries have identified numerous biomarker targets from the in-silico database and we plan to use these biomarker targets in its various assay development programs.
Mitomic® Prostate Test (MPT™) is currently in development and is being designed as a blood-based assay that quantifies the level of the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion. Published analytical data for the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion associated with prostate cancer, suggests the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion may be able to identify clinically significant prostate cancer for men in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) grey zone (PSA < 10ng/ml) and if proven through ongoing clinical study, the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion may be able to aid in the decision to biopsy. Some of the significant clinical challenges that have not been met for prostate cancer are that up to 50% of men will be ‘over’ diagnosed with cancer that never harms them1 and the risks associated with treatment of low-grade cancers (≤ Gleason 6) appear to outweigh the benefits –e.g. urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction. 1 NIH National Cancer Institute reports this number is even higher at ~ 75% based on 5-year survival rates. Seer database (https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/prost.html).
Our Mitomic® Prostate Test is in development and is being designed with the following objectives:
| ● | Simple – The test is expected to be completed using a patient’s blood sample and is not expected to require an algorithm. |
| ● | Provide New Information – If ongoing clinical studies support the published analytical data for the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion, healthcare providers will be provided with new information related to clinically significant prostate cancer – independent of PSA, age, and family history. |
Mitomic Endometriosis Test (MET™) is currently in development and is being designed as a blood-based assay that quantifies the level of one or more mitochondrial DNA deletions which published analytical data suggest are associated with endometriosis – a condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women according to Endometriosis World and the World Health Organization. The Mitomic Endometriosis Test is intended for use in females of child-bearing age who present symptoms of endometriosis to determine whether medical or surgical intervention is warranted.
Endometriosis occurs when the tissue of the uterus (endometrium) grows on areas where it does not belong, most often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, outer surface of the uterus, and tissues holding the uterus, but can be found almost anywhere in the body. Endometriosis is challenging to identify, and on average takes ten years to diagnose, and when patients are finally diagnosed, greater than 90% have moderate to severe symptoms.
53
Acquired Technologies – Adductomics Technology
On March 21, 2025, Pearsanta acquired certain patents related to the detection and analysis of DNA adducts. DNA adducts are chemically modified nucleotides that result from exposure to carcinogens and other damaging agents, serving as early indicators of genomic instability and increased cancer risk. The acquired technology includes proprietary mass-tag enhancements designed to improve the sensitivity and specificity of DNA adduct detection across a full genomic landscape.
Pearsanta intends to develop this platform to enable a comprehensive, panoramic assessment of DNA adducts using urine, blood, or solid tissue samples. This approach aims to provide actionable insights into DNA damage before mutations occur, offering the potential to identify environmental or biological factors that contribute to cancer risk. The development roadmap includes further validation of the technology and the creation of commercially available diagnostic kits. While still in the early stages, Pearsanta anticipates that additional development over the next two to three years will advance this platform toward clinical and commercial applications.
ADIVIR, INC.
Formed in April of 2023, Adivir™, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary, dedicated to the clinical and commercial development efforts of innovative products for population health, including antiviral and other antimicrobial products, which have the potential to address a wide range of infectious diseases, including those that currently lack viable treatment options.
Background
On April 18, 2023, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Cellvera Global Holdings LLC (“Cellvera Global”), Cellvera Holdings Ltd. (“BVI Holdco”), Cellvera, Ltd. (“Cellvera Ltd.”), Cellvera Development LLC (“Cellvera Development” and together with Cellvera Global, BVI Holdco, Cellvera Ltd. and Cellvera Development (the “Sellers”), AiPharma Group Ltd. (“Seller Owner” and collectively with the Sellers, “Cellvera”), and the legal representative of Cellvera, pursuant to which, the Company will purchase Cellvera’s 50% ownership interest in G Response Aid FZE (“GRA”), certain other intellectual property and all goodwill related thereto (the “Acquired Assets”). Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the consideration for the Acquired Assets consists of (A) $24.5 million, comprised of: (i) the forgiveness of the Company’s $14.5 million loan to Cellvera Global, and (ii) approximately $10 million in cash, and (B) future revenue sharing payments for a term of seven years. GRA holds an exclusive, worldwide license for the antiviral medication, Avigan® 200mg, excluding Japan, China and Russia. The other 50% interest in GRA is held by Agility, Inc. (“Agility”).
Additionally, upon the closing, the Share Exchange Agreement previously entered into as of December 28, 2021, between Cellvera Global Holdings, LLC f/k/a AiPharma Global Holdings, LLC (together with other affiliates and subsidiaries) and the Company, and all other related agreements will be terminated.
The obligations of the Company to consummate the Closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, at or prior to the Closing of certain conditions, including but not limited to, the following:
| (i) | Satisfactory completion of due diligence; |
| (ii) | Completion by the Company of financing sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; |
| (iii) | Receipt by the Company of all required Consents from Governmental Bodies for the Acquisition, including but not limited to, any consents required to complete the transfer and assignment of Cellvera’s membership interests in GRA; |
54
| (iv) | Receipt of executed payoff letters reflecting the amount required to be fully pay all of each of Seller’s and Seller Owner’s Debt to be paid at Closing; |
| (v) | Receipt by the Company of a release from Agility; |
| (vi) | Execution of an agreement acceptable to the Company with respect to the acquisition by the Company of certain intellectual property presently held by a third party; |
| (vii) | Execution of an amendment to an asset purchase agreement previously entered into by Cellvera with a third party that effectively grants the Company the rights to acquire the intellectual property from the third party under such agreement; |
| (viii) | Receipt of a fairness opinion by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; and |
| (ix) | Receipt by the Company from the Seller Owner of written consent, whether through its official liquidator or the Board of Directors of Seller Owner, to the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities pursuant to the Assert Purchase Agreement. |
In October 2024, the Company received notice that Cellvera was the subject of a liquidation proceeding and that a liquidator had been appointed by the order of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. As a result, the Company does not presently believe that the proposed acquisition of Cellvera will be completed as proposed or at all.
Our commitment to building our antiviral portfolio is strategic and timely. We believe that there has never has there been a more important time to address the growing global need to uncover new treatments or commercialize existing ones that treat life-threatening global viral infections.
Our Team
We have assembled a team of experts from a variety of scientific fields and commercial backgrounds, with many years of collective experience that ranges from founding startup biotech companies, to developing and marketing biopharmaceutical products, to designing clinical trials, and to managing private and public companies.
Going Concern
We were incorporated on September 28, 2017 and have not generated significant revenues to date. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we had a net loss of $5,952,465 and cash of $476,416 as of March 31, 2025.
We are currently over 90 days past due on a significant number of vendor obligations. The Company will require significant additional capital to operate in the normal course of business and fund clinical studies in the long-term. We believe our remaining funds on hand will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months and such creates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern beyond one year.
Financial Results
We have a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financial information upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, show a net loss of $5,952,465. We expect to incur additional net expenses over the next several years as we continue to maintain and expand our existing operations. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain.
55
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
We generated revenue of $1,018 and $79,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $734 and $65,799, respectively. The decrease in revenue and costs of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to a decrease in AditxtScoreTM orders due to decreased COVID testing being done.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a loss from operations of $5,608,115. This is due to general and administrative expenses of $4,348,274, which includes approximately $751,786 in payroll expenses and $1,670,782 in professional fees. Research and development expenses were $1,209,205 which includes $2,250 in consulting expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $50,920.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred a loss from operations of $11,535,646. This is due to general and administrative expenses of $3,363,748, which includes approximately $1,214,004 in payroll expenses, $1,145,679 in professional fees, and $20,477 in stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses were $8,145,266, which includes $201,579 in consulting expenses and $6,712,663 in stock-based compensation. Sales and marketing expenses were $40,513.
The decrease in expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to decreased research and development spend and decreased compensation expense due to reduced headcount.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $173,804,878. We had working capital of $(13,959,063) as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased zero in fixed assets.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investor pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 4 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $487,600.00 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Concurrently with the sale of the Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in a concurrent private placement, for each Pre-Funded Warrant purchased by the investor, such investor received from the Company an unregistered warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase two shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $344,000.00 per share and are exercisable for a three-year period. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to the placement agent to purchase up to 1 share of common stock at an exercise price of $600,000.00 per share.
On August 31, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “August Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of (i) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $400.00 per share, and (ii) warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 100 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $100,000.00 per share. The Private Placement closed on September 6, 2023. The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were approximately $9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company utilized net proceeds received from the Private Placement for (i) payment of approximately $3.1 million in outstanding obligations, (ii) repayment of approximately $0.4 million of outstanding debt, and (iii) continuing operating expenses and working capital.

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (“the “Purchaser”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of (i) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 124 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, and (ii) warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 248 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $48,500.00 per share. The Private Placement closed on January 4, 2024. The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were approximately $5.5 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “May PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) (i) an aggregate of 17 shares of the Company’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock”), (ii) an aggregate of 17 shares of the Company’s Series D-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series D-1 Preferred Stock”), and (iii) warrants (the “May PIPE Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 162 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Private Placement closed on May 6, 2024. The gross proceeds from the Private Placement were approximately $4.2 million, prior to deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used $1.0 million of the net proceeds to fund certain obligations under its merger agreement with Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Registered Direct Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors 19 shares (the “Registered Direct Shares”) of common stock of the Company, pre-funded warrants (the “Registered Direct Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 95 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Registered Direct Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), having an exercise price of $10.00 per share, at a purchase price of $10,600.00 per share of common stock and a purchase price of $10,590.00 per Registered Direct Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The shares of common stock and Registered Direct Pre-Funded Warrants (and shares of common stock underlying the Registered Direct Pre-Funded Warrants) were offered by the Company pursuant to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280757), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2024.
The closing of the sales of these securities under the Registered Direct Purchase Agreement took place on August 9, 2024. The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $1.0 million, prior to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used $500,000 of the net proceeds from the offering to fund certain obligations under its Amended and Restated Merger agreement with Evofem Biosciences, Inc and the remainder for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
We will need significant additional capital to continue to fund our operations and the clinical trials for our product candidates. We may seek to sell common stock, preferred stock or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. In addition, we may seek to raise cash through collaborative agreements or from government grants. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities, or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights.
The source, timing, and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of our clinical development program. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Lack of necessary funds may require us to, among other things, delay, scale back or eliminate expenses including some or all our planned development, including our clinical trials. While we may need to raise funds in the future, we believe the current cash reserves should be sufficient to fund our operation for the foreseeable future. Because of these factors, we believe that this creates doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We believe that our critical accounting policies described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Prospectus, dated September 1, 2020, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. The following involve the most judgment and complexity:
| ● | Research and development |
| ● | Stock-based compensation expense |
Accordingly, we believe the policies set forth above are critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. If actual results or events differ materially from the estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
When favorable, we have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.
We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our IPO (December 31, 2025); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Recent Developments
See Note 12 – Subsequent Event to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of material recent developments.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not materially changed since the Company determined that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and the following weaknesses still exist as of March 31, 2025.
| ● | We did not maintain adequate controls over the documentation of accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures. Specifically, we did not maintain policies and procedures to ensure account reconciliations were adequately prepared and reviewed by management. |
| ● | We did not retain individuals and/or entities with extensive knowledge to recognize and record technical and complex accounting issues. |
| ● | We did not maintain the sufficient procedures for the identification and cutoff of accounts payable. |
These material weaknesses resulted in material misstatements to the financial statements, which were corrected. There were no changes to previously released financial results. We are in the process of remediating these material weaknesses.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
59
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth below and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results.
Our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
The Company was incorporated on September 28, 2017 and through the date of this report has generated no significant revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a net loss of $34,446,486 and $32,390,447, respectively. Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31,2025, show a net loss of $5,952,465. Our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $476,416 as of March 31, 2025. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.
If we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, we will be unable to continue or complete our product development and you will likely lose your entire investment.
We will need to continue to seek capital from time to time to continue development of our lead drug candidate beyond our initial combined Phase I/IIa clinical trial and to acquire and develop other product candidates. Once approved for commercialization, we cannot provide any assurances that any revenues it may generate in the future will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.
Our business or operations may change in a manner that would consume available funds more rapidly than anticipated and substantial additional funding may be required to maintain operations, fund expansion, develop new or enhance products, acquire complementary products, business or technologies, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and opportunities, such as a change in the regulatory environment or a change in preferred treatment modalities. In addition, we may need to accelerate the growth of our sales capabilities and distribution beyond what is currently envisioned, and this would require additional capital. However, we may not be able to secure funding when we need it or on favorable terms. We may not be able to raise sufficient funds to commercialize the product candidates we intend to develop.
If we cannot raise adequate funds to satisfy our capital requirements, we will have to delay, scale back or eliminate our research and development activities, clinical studies, or future operations. We may also be required to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators, which arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to certain technologies or products that we otherwise would not consider relinquishing, including rights to future product candidates or certain major geographic markets. This could result in sharing revenues which we might otherwise retain for ourselves. Any of these actions may harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are currently over 90 days past due on a significant amount of vendor obligations. We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness owed to our secured and unsecured lenders, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2025, we have approximately $6.7 million in accounts payable with approximately $4.8 million that is over 90 days past due. If we are unable to repay these amounts, as well as our existing debt obligations at maturity, and we are otherwise unable to extend the maturity dates or refinance these obligations, we would be in default. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary amount of capital to repay these obligations or that we will be able to extend the maturity dates or otherwise refinance these obligations. Upon a default, our secured lenders would have the right to exercise their rights and remedies to collect, which would include foreclosing on our assets. Accordingly, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business, and we would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.
60
We may not be able to effect the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement with Evofem or the Arrangement Agreement with Appili. If we are unable to do so, we will incur substantial costs associated with withdrawing from the transaction.
In connection with the Merger Agreement with Evofem and the Arrangement Agreement with Appili, we have incurred substantial costs planning and negotiating the transactions. These costs include, but are not limited to, costs associated with employing and retaining third-party advisors who perform financial, auditing and legal services required before we were able to enter into such agreements and which services will continue to be utilized as we seek to complete such transactions. If, for whatever reason, such transactions fail to close, we will still be responsible for these costs, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial results.
We will need to raise substantial additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts and strategic M&A initiatives, or cease operations.
We do not expect that our current cash position will be sufficient to fund our current operations for the next 12 months. We also do not presently have sufficient cash to fund certain obligations under our Merger Agreement with Evofem or our Arrangement Agreement with Appili. In addition, we are required to complete an equity or debt financing with minimum gross proceeds of at least $20 million in order to close the transactions contemplated under our Arrangement Agreement with Appili. Our operating plan may change because of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements or a combination of these approaches. In any event, we will require additional capital to obtain regulatory approval for, and to commercialize, our product candidates. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.
Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations, and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects.
If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay, or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any product candidate or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant number of shares of our common stock may be issued and sold upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, and upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock.
As of March 31, 2025, there were 59 shares of common stock issuable under outstanding options, 2,680 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at various exercise prices and approximately 0 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the standard conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock. To the extent that holders of existing options, warrants or convertible preferred stock sell the shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of the convertible preferred stock, the market price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional selling pressure in the market. The risk of dilution from issuances of shares of common stock underlying existing options, warrants and convertible preferred stock may cause shareholders to sell their common stock, which could further decline in the market price.
61
We have entered into a Purchase Agreement with an equity line investor. If we sell shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, our existing stockholders will experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may go down.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to sell up to $150,000,000 of shares of our common stock at our option and subject to certain limitations. In addition, we may issue up to 225 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee under the Purchase Agreement. As of the date hereof, we have not issued or sold any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders. The equity line investor may resell some or all of the shares we issue to it under the Purchase Agreement and such sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, which decline could be significant.
Even if we can raise additional funding, we may be required to do so on terms that are dilutive to you.
The capital markets have been unpredictable in the past for unprofitable companies such as ours. In addition, it is generally difficult for development stage companies to raise capital under current market conditions. The amount of capital that a company such as ours is able to raise often depends on variables that are beyond our control. As a result, we may not be able to secure financing on terms attractive to us, or at all. If we can consummate a financing arrangement, the amount raised may not be sufficient to meet our future needs. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, our business, including our results of operations, financial condition and our continued viability will be materially adversely affected.
The amount of capital we may need depends on many factors, including the progress, timing and scope of our product development programs; the progress, timing and scope of our preclinical studies and clinical trials; the time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals; the time and cost necessary to further develop manufacturing processes and arrange for contract manufacturing; our ability to enter into and maintain collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships; and our partners’ commitment of time and resources to the development and commercialization of our products.
Our obligations to certain of our creditors are secured by security interests in our assets, so if we default on those obligations, our creditors could foreclose on some or all of our assets.
Our obligations to certain of our creditors are secured by security interests in our assets. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $3.9 million was owed to such secured creditors. Under such agreements, we are required to pay $277,800 on a weekly basis to such creditors. If we default on our obligations under these agreements, our secured creditors could foreclose on its security interests and liquidate some or all of these assets, which would harm our financial condition and results of operations and would require us to reduce or cease operations and possibly seek Bankruptcy Protection.
In the event we pursue Bankruptcy Protection, we will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with such proceedings.
In the event we file for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, our operations, our ability to develop and execute our business plan and our continuation as a going concern will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy proceedings, including, among others: our ability to execute, confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization; the additional, significant costs of bankruptcy proceedings and related fees; our ability to obtain sufficient financing to allow us to emerge from bankruptcy and execute our business plan post-emergence, and our ability to comply with terms and conditions of that financing; our ability to continue our operations in the ordinary course; our ability to maintain our relationships with our consumers, business partners, counterparties, employees and other third parties; our ability to obtain, maintain or renew contracts that are critical to our operations on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions; our ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; the ability of third parties to use certain limited safe harbor provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code to terminate contracts without first seeking Bankruptcy Court approval; the ability of third parties to force us to into Chapter 7 proceedings rather than Chapter 11 proceedings and the actions and decisions of our stakeholders and other third parties who have interests in our bankruptcy proceedings that may be inconsistent with our operational and strategic plans. Any delays in our bankruptcy proceedings would increase the risks of our being unable to reorganize our business and emerge from bankruptcy proceedings and may increase our costs associated with the bankruptcy process or result in prolonged operational disruption for us. Also, we would need the prior approval of the bankruptcy court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business during the course of any bankruptcy proceedings, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with any bankruptcy proceedings, we cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that could occur during any such proceedings. There can be no guarantees that if we seek Bankruptcy Protection we will emerge from Bankruptcy Protection as a going concern or that holders of our common stock will receive any recovery from any bankruptcy proceedings.
62
In the event we are unable to pursue Bankruptcy Protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or, if pursued, successfully emerge from such proceedings, it may be necessary to pursue Bankruptcy Protection under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for all or a part of our businesses.
In the event we are unable to pursue Bankruptcy Protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or, if pursued, successfully emerge from such proceedings, it may be necessary for us to pursue Bankruptcy Protection under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for all or a part of our businesses. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the United States Bankruptcy Code. We believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to our stakeholders than those we might obtain under Chapter 11 primarily because of the likelihood that the assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a distressed fashion over a short period of time rather than in a controlled manner and as a going concern.
Our ability to have our securities traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market is subject to us meeting applicable listing criteria.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company, on October 3, 2024, the Company was notified (the “October Notification Letter”) by the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as the bid price of its securities had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days. Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the company was provided 180 calendar days, or util April 1, 2025, to regain compliance with the rule.
On March 7, 2025, the Company was notified by the Staff that it has determined that as of March 6, 2025, the Company’s securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days. As a result, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)A)(iii) and the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 12, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-250 reverse stock split, which became effective as of the open of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 17, 2025.
On March 14, 2025, the Company submitted an appeal to Nasdaq, which will stay the delisting and suspension of the Company’s securities pending the decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company’s hearing before the Panel was scheduled for April 22, 2025.
On April 8, 2025, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC stating that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Consequently, the hearing before the Hearings Panel scheduled to take place on April 22, 2025 has been cancelled. However, no assurance can be provided that we will be successful in continuing to remain compliant with the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
63
If we are delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible for trading on an over-the-counter market. If we are not able to obtain a listing on another stock exchange or quotation service for our common stock, it may be extremely difficult or impossible for stockholders to sell their shares. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may be required to seek approval from our stockholders to affect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, however, under amended Nasdaq Rule 5810(b)(3)(A)(iv), we will not be entitled to an additional compliance period if (i) the Company seeks to effect a reverse stock split within twelve months of our prior reverse stock split in March 2025, or (ii) the proposed reverse split reverse stock split ratio, when combined with any prior reverse stock splits implements in the prior period of two years would exceed 250-for-1 in the aggregate. Our March 2025 reverse stock split when combined with our October 2024 reverse stock split exceeded 250-for-1 in the aggregate. In addition, there can be no assurance that any future reverse stock split would be approved by our stockholders. Further, there can be no assurance that the market price per new share of our common stock after the reverse stock split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of our common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. Even if another reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing rules.
If we are delisted from Nasdaq, but obtain a substitute listing for our common stock, it will likely be on a market with less liquidity, and therefore experience potentially more price volatility than experienced on Nasdaq. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of common stock on any such substitute market in the quantities, at the times, or at the prices that could potentially be available on a more liquid trading market. As a result of these factors, if our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the value and liquidity of our common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants would likely be significantly adversely affected. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and/or result in a loss of confidence by investors, employees and/or business partners.
