Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

iBio, Inc. (also referred to as "iBio", or the "Company") is a preclinical stage biotechnology company leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for the development of hard-to-drug precision antibodies. The Company’s proprietary technology stack is designed to minimize downstream development risks by employing AI-guided epitope-steering and monoclonal antibody (mAb) optimization.

Since September 2022, iBio has focused on utilizing AI and ML to discover and design antibodies against hard-to-drug targets upon the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of RubrYc Therapeutics, Inc. ("RubrYc") was consummated. This acquisition commenced the Company’s transition from a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) to an AI-enabled biotech company. iBio’s transition concluded in May 2024 upon the closing of the sale of the CDMO facility in Texas. These strategic decisions the Company executed enable it to solely focus resources on the development of AI-powered precision antibodies, positioning iBio at the forefront of this exciting field.

One of the key features of iBio’s technology stack is the patented epitope-steering AI-engine. This advanced technology allows us to target specific regions of proteins with precision enabling the creation of antibodies highly specific to therapeutically relevant regions within large target proteins, potentially improving their efficacy and safety profile. Another integral part of iBio’s technology stack is the ML based antibody-optimizing StableHu™ technology. When coupled with the Company’s mammalian display technology, StableHu has been shown to accelerate the Lead Optimization process and potentially reduces downstream risks, making the overall development process faster, more efficient and cost-effective.

iBio also developed the EngageTx™ platform, which provides an optimized next-generation CD3 T-cell engager antibody panel. This panel is characterized by a wide spectrum of potencies, Non-Human Primate (NHP) cross-reactivity, enhanced humanness of the antibodies, and a maintained tumor cell killing capacity, all while reducing cytokine release. These attributes are meticulously designed to fine-tune the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the Company’s antibody products. By incorporating EngageTx into iBio’s own development initiatives, the Company’s internal pre-clinical pipeline reaps the benefits of the same cutting-edge technology extended to its potential partners.

iBio’s technology stack also includes ShieldTx™, an antibody masking technology enabling the creation of conditionally activated antibodies. These masks keep antibodies inactive until they reach diseased tissue, where the masks are removed, and the antibodies are activated. This mechanism is thought to broaden the therapeutic window, potentially improving efficacy and safety of treatments. Conditionally activated antibodies are also believed to enable the use of drug combinations that are otherwise considered too toxic, and they open the door to pursuing targets which, due to their expression in multiple tissues, would otherwise raise safety concerns.

iBio’s scientific team, comprised of experienced AI/ML scientists and biopharmaceutical scientists, located side-by-side in its San Diego laboratory, possess the skills and capabilities to rapidly advance antibodies in house from concept to in vivo proof-of-concept (POC). This multidisciplinary expertise allows the Company to efficiently create a preclinical portfolio and rapidly advance preclinical pipeline programs towards clinical development.

Artificial Intelligence in Antibody Discovery and Development

iBio is leveraging its AI-powered technology stack to enhance the success rate of identifying antibodies for challenging target proteins, expedite the process of antibody optimization, improve developability, and engineer finely calibrated bi-specifics. By continually refining the Company’s AI algorithms, incorporating new data sources, and developing robust experimental validation processes, iBio is paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in antibody design and drug discovery.

Pre-Clinical Pipeline

iBio is currently in the process of building and advancing its preclinical pipeline by leveraging its technology stack focused on hard-to-drug targets and molecules offering differentiation in both obesity and cardiometabolic disease space, as well as immune-oncology. The Company’s current therapeutics being developed are all in preclinical development and it has not completed any clinical trials in humans for any therapeutic protein product candidate produced using iBio technology and there is a risk that the Company will be unsuccessful in developing or commercializing any product candidates. As the Company continues to leverage its technology stack and develop its existing immune-oncology pre-clinical pipeline, the Company also is seeking strategic partners with the capabilities to more rapidly advance these programs towards the clinic. iBio also continues to assess its options rights to license three of the four assets under the

AstralBio collaboration to add obesity and cardiometabolic programs into its pre-clinical pipeline. Under this strategic collaboration with AstraBio, it affords iBio the opportunity to expand the Company’s pipeline and build a presence in the cardiometabolic disease space.

2. Basis of Presentation

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company and include all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the prior year ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 24, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated June 30, 2024 was derived.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated as part of the consolidation.

Going Concern

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Historically, the Company’s liquidity needs have been met by the sale of common shares, and the issuance of common shares through the exercise of warrants. As of September 30, 2024, iBio had total current assets of approximately $11.7 million, of which approximately $11.0 million was cash and cash equivalents. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3.9 million during the

Table of Contents

three months ending September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a loss from operations of $3.7 million which compares to the $5.3 million loss from operations it maintained as of September 30, 2023.

The history of significant losses, the negative cash flow from operations, the limited cash resources on hand and the dependence by the Company on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s current financing and business plans have not mitigated such substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”).

In an effort to mitigate the substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern and increase cash reserves, the Company has raised funds from time to time through equity offerings or other financing alternatives, reduced its workforce, entered into a collaboration agreement to discover and develop novel antibodies for obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases and sold certain intellectual property rights. Potential options being considered to further increase liquidity include focusing product development on a select number of product candidates, the sale or out-licensing of certain product candidates, raising money from the capital markets, grant revenue or collaborations, or a combination thereof. However, the Company anticipates that its expenses will increase as it continues its research and development activities and conducts clinical trials.

On July 3, 2024, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time, through the Sales Agents, with certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by the Company as set forth in the ATM Agreement (the “ATM”). Offers and sales of shares of Common Stock by the Company, if any, under the ATM Agreement, is subject to the effectiveness of the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on July 3, 2024 which became effective on August 6, 2024. The aggregate market value of the shares of Common Stock eligible for sale under the ATM prospectus supplement included in the Registration Statement is currently $7,350,000, which is based on the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. No Common Stock was sold under this agreement as of September 30, 2024.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 27, 2023, the Company’s Board approved the implementation of a reverse stock split (the “2023 Reverse Split”) at a ratio of one-for-twenty (1:20) shares of the Company's Common Stock. The 2023 Reverse Split was effective as of November 29, 2023. All share and per share amounts of the Common Stock presented in this Quarterly Report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 2023 Reverse Split. See Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity for more information.

3. Discontinued Operations

On November 3, 2022, the Company announced it was seeking to divest its contract development and manufacturing organization (iBio CDMO) in order to complete its transformation into an antibody discovery and development company. In conjunction with the divestment, the Company reduced its workforce and sold at public auction equipment and other tangible personal property located at the 130,000 square foot cGMP facility located in Bryan, Texas (the “Facility”).

On May 17, 2024, iBio CDMO entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated as of May 17, 2024 (the “2024 Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with The Board of Regents of the Texas A&M University System (“The Board of Regents”) pursuant to which iBio CDMO agreed to terminate the Ground Lease Agreement (the “Ground Lease Agreement) with The Board of Regents, dated March 8, 2010, as amended by an Estoppel Certificate and Amendment to Ground Lease Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2015 (together with the Ground Lease Agreement, the “Ground Lease”), related to 21.401 acres in Brazos County, Texas (the “Land”) and completed the sale to The Board of Regents of: (i) the buildings, parking areas, improvements, and fixtures situated on the Land (the “Improvements”); (iii) all iBio CDMO’s right, title, and interest in and to furniture, personal property, machinery, apparatus, and equipment owned and currently used in the operation, repair and maintenance of the Land and Improvements and situated thereon (collectively, the “Personal Property”); (iii) all iBio CDMO’s rights under the contracts and agreements relating to the operation or maintenance of the Land, Improvements or Personal Property which extend beyond the closing date (the “Contracts”); and (iv) all iBio CDMO’s rights in intangible assets of any nature relating to any or all of the Land, the Improvements and the Personal Property (the “Intangibles”; and together with the Ground Lease, Improvements and Personal Property, collectively, the “Property”). The purchase price was $8,500,000.

Table of Contents

In connection with the purchase of the Facility, iBio CDMO entered into a Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Woodforest National Bank (“Woodforest”) pursuant to which Woodforest had provided iBio CDMO a $22,375,000 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) to purchase the Facility, which Term Loan was evidenced by a Term Note (the “Term Note”). On May 17, 2024, iBio CDMO, the Company and Woodforest entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) which provided that iBio CDMO would pay to Woodforest the proceeds of the sale of the Property under the 2024 Purchase and Sale Agreement when received, determine in consultation with Woodforest the remaining balance due under the Credit Agreement (the “Indebtedness Deficiency Amount”) and thereafter the Company issued to Woodforest a pre-funded warrant to purchase 1,560,570 shares of Common Stock(“Pre-Funded Warrant”). (See Note 12 – Debt for more information.)

On May 31, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement in consideration of the payment in full of all Obligations (as such term is defined under the Credit Agreement) (a) iBio CDMO paid to Woodforest (i) $8,500,000, which it received from the sale of the Property under the 2024 Purchase and Sale Agreement, and (ii) approximately $915,000 from restricted cash which had previously been held by Woodforest, and (b) the Company issued a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase 1,560,570 shares of its common stock to Woodforest. The Pre-Funded Warrant expires upon full exercise thereof and is exercisable at a nominal exercise price equal to $0.0001 per share.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty dated November 1, 2021 and the other Loan Documents (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) were terminated and Woodforest released the Company and iBio CDMO from any and all claims, debts, liabilities or causes of action it may have against them prior to May 31, 2024, and the Company and iBio CDMO released Woodforest and its related parties from any and all claims, debts, liabilities or causes of action it may have against them prior to May 31, 2024.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an additional fixed asset impairment charge of $3.1 million, a loss on the sale of the Facility of approximately $4.8 million and a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.8 million in discontinued operations. (See Note 5 – Financial Instruments, Note 10 – Fixed Assets and Note 12 – Debt for more information.)

The results of iBio CDMO's operations ceased in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and were reported as discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2024. No assets or liabilities associated with the discontinued operations of the CDMO remained on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. The Company had chosen not to segregate the cash flows of iBio CDMO in the consolidated statement of cash flow for the year ended June 30, 2024 and accordingly, supplemental disclosures related to discontinued operations for the statements of cash flows have been provided below. Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements refers to the Company's continuing operations.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include liquidity assertions, the valuation of intellectual property and fixed assets held for sale, the incremental borrowing rate utilized in the finance and operating lease calculations, legal and contractual contingencies, the valuation of the pre-funded warrants issued related to the extinguishment of the Term Loan and share-based compensation. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of allowances for uncollectible accounts. The Company provides for allowances for uncollectible receivables based on its estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Management’s policy is to write off accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses was not needed. The Company had accounts receivable of $0 at June 30, 2023.

Subscription Receivable

The Company accounts for any subscription receivable as a current asset. Subscription receivables represent funds related to the sale of Common Stock in which the funds have not yet been delivered to the Company. The funds are generally held in escrow on behalf of the Company and are delivered within a few days.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for its revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. A contract with a customer exists only when: (i) the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations, (ii) the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct goods or services to be transferred (“performance obligations”), (iii) the Company can determine the transaction price for the goods or services to be transferred, (iv) the contract has commercial substance and (v) it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts.

The Company analyzes its contracts to determine whether the elements can be separately identifiable and accounted for individually or as a bundle of goods or services. Allocation of revenue to individual elements that qualify for performance obligations is based on the separate selling prices determined for each component, and total contract consideration is then allocated pro rata across the components of the arrangement. If separate selling prices are not available, the Company will use its best estimate of such selling prices, consistent with the overall pricing strategy and after consideration of relevant market factors.

Table of Contents

If a loss on a contract is anticipated, such loss is recognized in its entirety when the loss becomes evident. When the current estimates of the amount of consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer indicates a loss will be incurred, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made. At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company had no credit loss provisions.

The Company generates contract revenue under the following types of contracts:

Fixed-Fee

Under a fixed-fee contract, the Company charges a fixed agreed upon amount for a deliverable. Fixed-fee contracts have fixed deliverables upon completion of the project. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue for fixed-fee contracts after projects are completed, delivery is made and title transfers to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue can be recognized either 1) over time or 2) at a point in time.

Collaborations/Partnerships

The Company may enter into research and discovery collaborations with third parties that involve a joint operating activity, typically a research and/or development effort, where both parties are active participants in the activity and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the activity. The Company’s rights and obligations under its collaboration agreements vary and typically include milestone payments, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development, as well as expense reimbursements from or payments to the collaboration partner.

The Company considers the nature and contractual terms of agreements and assesses whether an agreement involves a joint operating activity pursuant to which the Company is an active participant and is exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activity as described under ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). For arrangements determined to be within the scope of ASC 808 where a collaborative partner is not a customer for certain research and development activities, the Company accounts for payments received for the reimbursement of research and development costs as a contra-expense in the period such expenses are incurred. If payments from the collaborative partner to the Company represent consideration from a customer in exchange for distinct goods and services provided, then the Company accounts for those payments within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

Collaborative revenues generated typically include payment to the Company related to one or more of the following: non-refundable upfront license fees, development and commercial milestones, and partial or complete reimbursement of research and development costs.

No revenue was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Revenue in the amount of $50,000 was recognized from a non-refundable upfront license fee for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Contract Assets

A contract asset is an entity’s right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Generally, an entity will recognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment.

Contract assets consist primarily of the cost of project contract work performed by third parties whereby the Company expects to recognize any related revenue at a later date, upon satisfaction of the contract obligations. At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, contract assets were $0.

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer at the earlier of (1) when the customer prepays consideration or (2) the time that the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services the entity will yet provide. Generally, an entity will recognize a contract liability when it receives a prepayment.

Contract liabilities consist primarily of consideration received, usually in the form of payment, on project work to be performed whereby the Company expects to recognize any related revenue at a later date, upon satisfaction of the contract obligations. At September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 contract liabilities were $400,000, $200,000 and $0, respectively.

Table of Contents

Leases

The Company accounts for leases under the guidance of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). The standard established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either an operating or finance lease. The adoption of ASC 842 had a significant effect on the Company’s balance sheet, resulting in an increase in noncurrent assets and both current and noncurrent liabilities.

In accordance with ASC 842, at the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present and the classification of the lease including whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as ROU assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less under practical expedient in paragraph ASC 842-20-25-2. For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The lease liability and the corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The implicit rate within the Company’s existing finance (capital) lease was determinable and, therefore, used at the adoption date of ASC 842 to determine the present value of lease payments under the finance lease. The implicit rate within the Company’s operating lease was not determinable and, therefore, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgement. The Company will determine the incremental borrowing rate for each new lease using its estimated borrowing rate.

An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 consisted of money market accounts. Restricted cash at September 30, 2024 includes a letter of credit obtained related to the San Diego operating lease (see Note 14 – Operating Lease Obligations) and a Company purchasing card. The Company’s bank requires an additional 5% collateral held above the actual letters of credit issued for the San Diego lease and Company purchasing card. Restricted cash was approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

The following table summarizes the components of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):


	September 30,		June 30,
	2024		2024
Cash and equivalents	$	11,038	$	14,210
Collateral held for letter of credit - San Diego lease		198		198
Collateral held for Company purchasing card		25		17
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	11,261	$	14,425

The collateral held for the letters of credit for the San Diego lease and the Company purchasing card are classified as long-term on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at Septembe 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Research and development expense was reported in continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. No research and development expense was reported in discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Table of Contents

Right-of-Use Assets

Assets held under the terms of finance (capital) leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases or the economic lives of the assets. Obligations for future lease payments under finance (capital) leases are shown within liabilities and are analyzed between amounts falling due within and after one year. See Note 8 – Finance Lease ROU Assets and Note 13 – Finance Lease Obligations for additional information.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to 10 years.

The Company monitors fixed assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. When necessary, charges for impairments of long-lived assets are recorded for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. Changes in the Company’s business strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact impairment analyses and require the recognition of an impairment charge. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.

See Note 10 – Fixed Assets for additional information.

Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of definite life intangible assets and indefinite life intangible assets.

The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets at either their historical cost or allocated purchase price at asset acquisition and records amortization utilizing the straight-line method based upon their estimated useful lives. Intellectual property is amortized over 20 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The carrying value 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. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds it fair value.

For indefinite life intangible assets, the Company performs an impairment test annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company determines the fair value of the asset annually or when triggering events are present, based on discounted cash flows and records an impairment loss if book value exceeds fair value.

Evaluating for impairment requires judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, future growth rates and profitability and the expected life over which cash flows will occur. Changes in the Company’s business strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact impairment analyses and require the recognition of an impairment charge. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.

See Note 11 – Intangible Assets for additional information.

Share-based Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payment transactions at fair value. Compensation cost, measured by the fair value of the equity instruments issued, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized in the financial statements as the respective awards are earned over the performance period. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates.

The impact that share-based payment awards will have on the Company’s results of operations is a function of the number of shares awarded, the trading price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant or modification, the vesting schedule and forfeitures. Furthermore, the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model employs weighted-average assumptions for expected volatility of the Company’s stock, expected term until exercise of the options, the risk-free interest rate, and dividends, if any, to determine fair value.

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Common Stock; the expected term until exercise represents the weighted-average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future, so the dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, the Company

Table of Contents

estimates forfeitures at each reporting period, rather than electing to record the impact of such forfeitures as they occur. See Note 17 – Share-Based Compensation for additional information.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains principally all cash balances in two financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The exposure to the Company is solely dependent upon daily bank balances and the strength of the financial institution. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, amounts in excess of insured limits were approximately $496,000 and $664,000, respectively.

Revenue

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported no revenue from continuing operations and discontinued operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported license revenue from one research collaborator in continuing operations and no revenue in discontinued operations.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates as one reportable segment, which is that of a preclinical stage biotechnology company leveraging AI and ML for the development of hard-to-drug precision antibodies. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting (“Segment Reporting”), the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under Segment Reporting due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by Segment Reporting can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022 (quarter ending September 30, 2023, for the Company). Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”) to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2025 fiscal year annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB ASC. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of ASC Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The ASU has an unusual effective date and transition requirements since it is contingent on future SEC rule setting. If the SEC fails to enact required changes by June 30, 2027, this ASU is not effective for any entities. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income

Table of Contents

taxes paid. This ASU applies to all entities subject to income taxes. This ASU will be effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and term promissory note payable in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable, equipment financing payable and finance lease obligations approximated fair value as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 as the interest rates related to the financial instruments approximated market.

The following provides a description of the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value under the standard, the types of plan investments that fall under each category, and the valuation methodologies used to measure these investments at fair value:

•	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

•	Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

6. Significant Transactions

Otsuka

On February 25, 2024, the Company entered into the PD-1 Purchase Agreement with Otsuka pursuant to which the Company sold and assigned to Otsuka, and Otsuka purchased and assumed, all intellectual property rights directly related to the Company’s PD-1 Assets developed or held for development. The Company received an upfront payment of $1.0 million in cash at closing which is reported as a gain in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The Company will also be eligible to receive additional contingent cash payments totaling up to $52.5 million upon the achievement of certain pre-specified clinical development and commercial milestones. The Company will recognize the potential milestone payments at the earlier of when the contingent consideration is realized or is realizable.

Affiliates of Eastern Capital Limited

On November 1, 2021, the Company and its subsidiary, iBio CDMO LLC (“iBio CDMO”, and collectively with the Company, the “Purchaser”) entered into a series of agreements (the “Transaction”) with College Station Investors LLC (“College Station”), and Bryan Capital Investors LLC (“Bryan Capital” and, collectively with College Station, “Seller”), each affiliates of Eastern Capital Limited (“Eastern,” a former significant stockholder of the Company) described in more detail below whereby in exchange for a certain cash payment and a warrant the Company:

(i)

acquired both the Facility where iBio CDMO at that time and currently conducts business and also the rights as the tenant in the Facility’s ground lease;

(ii)

acquired all of the equity owned by one of the affiliates of Eastern in the Company and iBio CDMO; and

(iii)

otherwise terminated all agreements between the Company and the affiliates of Eastern.

The Facility is a life sciences building located on land owned by the Board of Regents of the Texas A&M University System (“Texas A&M”) and is designed and equipped for the manufacture of plant-made biopharmaceuticals. iBio CDMO had held a sublease for the Facility through 2050, subject to extension until 2060 (the “Sublease”) until the consummation of the sale of the Facility.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement

On November 1, 2021, the Purchaser entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with the Seller pursuant to which: (i) the Seller sold to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest as the tenant in the Ground Lease Agreement that it entered into with Texas A&M (the “Landlord’’) related to the land at which the Facility is located together with all improvements pertaining thereto (the “Ground Lease Property”), which previously had been the subject of the Sublease; (ii) the Seller sold to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest

Table of Contents

to any tangible personal property owned by Seller and located on the Ground Lease Property including the Facility; (iii) the Seller sold to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest to all licensed, permits and authorization for use of the Ground Lease Property; and (iv) College Station and iBio CDMO terminated the Sublease. The total purchase price for the Ground Lease Property, the termination of the Sublease and other agreements among the parties, and the equity described below is $28,750,000, which was paid $28,000,000 in cash and by the issuance to Seller of warrants (the “Warrant”) described below. As part of the transaction, iBio CDMO became the tenant under the Ground Lease Agreement for the Ground Lease Property until 2060 upon exercise of available extensions. The base rent payable under the Ground Lease Agreement, which was $151,450 for the prior year, is 6.5% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Ground Lease Agreement) of the land. The Ground Lease Agreement included various covenants, indemnities, defaults, termination rights, and other provisions customary for lease transactions of this nature.

As discussed above, iBio CDMO is being accounted for as a discontinued operation. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the assets acquired were sold and the asset lease was terminated. These assets were classified as assets held for sale on the June 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheet.

The Credit Agreement

In connection with the PSA, iBio CDMO entered into a Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, with Woodforest pursuant to which Woodforest provided iBio CDMO a $22,375,000 secured term loan to purchase the Facility (the “Term Loan”), which Term Loan was evidenced by a term note (the “Term Note”). The Term Loan was advanced in full on the closing date. See Note 12 – Debt for further information of the Term Loan.

The Warrant

As part of the consideration for the purchase and sale of the rights set forth above, the Company issued to Bryan Capital a Warrant to purchase 2,579 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $665 per share. The Warrant expires on October 10, 2026, is exercisable immediately, provides for a cashless exercise at any time and automatic cashless exercise on the expiration date if on such date the exercise price of the Warrant exceeds its fair market value as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and adjustments in the case of stock dividends and stock splits. Of the total shares that can be exercised under the Warrant, 579 of such shares were valued at $217,255 to reflect the final payment of rent due under the Sublease. The Warrant, as shown on the consolidated statements of equity, was recorded in additional paid-in capital with the corresponding activity included in the basis of the purchase price allocation of the Ground Lease Property acquired. See Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.

RubrYc

On August 23, 2021, the Company entered into a series of agreements with RubrYc Therapeutics, Inc. (“RubrYc”) described in more detail below:

Collaboration and License Agreement

The Company entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement (the “RTX-003 License Agreement”) with RubrYc to further develop RubrYc’s immune-oncology antibodies in its RTX-003 campaign. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is solely responsible for worldwide research and development activities for development of the RTX-003 antibodies for use in pharmaceutical products in all fields. RubrYc was also entitled to receive royalties in the mid-single digits on net sales of RTX-003 antibodies, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The RTX-003 License Agreement was terminated when the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of RubrYc in September 2022.

Collaboration, Option and License Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement with RubrYc (the “Collaboration, Option and License Agreement”) to collaborate for up to five years to discover and develop novel antibody therapeutics using RubrYc’s artificial intelligence discovery platform. The Company agreed to pay RubrYc for each Selected Compound as it achieves various milestones in addition to royalties if the Selected Compounds are commercialized. RubrYc was also entitled to receive tiered royalties ranging from low- to mid-single digits on net sales of Collaboration Products, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Royalties are payable on a country-by-country and collaboration product-by-collaboration product basis until the latest to occur of: (i) the last-to-expire of specified patent rights in such country; (ii) expiration of marketing or regulatory exclusivity in such country; or (iii) ten (10) years after the first commercial sale of a product in such country, provided that no biosimilar product has been approved in such country. With the exception of any obligations that survive the termination, the Collaboration, Option and License Agreement was terminated when the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of RubrYc in September 2022.

Table of Contents

Stock Purchase Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Collaboration, Option and License Agreement and RTX-003 License Agreement, the Company also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) with RubrYc whereby the Company purchased a total of 2,864,345 shares of RubrYc’s Series A-2 preferred stock (“Series A-2 Preferred”) for $7,500,000.

The Company accounted for the agreements as an asset purchase and allocated the purchase price of $7,500,000 as follows:


Preferred stock	$	1,760,000
Intangible assets		4,300,000
Prepaid expenses		1,440,000
	$	7,500,000

On September 16, 2022, the Company entered an asset purchase agreement with RubrYc (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which it acquired substantially all of the assets of RubrYc. The Company issued 5,117 shares of the Common Stock to RubrYc with an approximate market value of $1,000,000 (the “Closing Shares”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the shares are subject to an initial lockup period and the estimated fair value was calculated as $650,000. The Company also agreed to make potential additional payments of up to $5,000,000 upon the achievement of specified developmental milestones on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing date, payable in cash or shares of the Common Stock, at the Company’s option. In addition, the Company had advanced RubrYc $484,000 to support their operation costs during the negotiation period and incurred transaction costs totaling $208,000, which were also capitalized as part of the assets acquired. The assets acquired include the patented AI drug discovery platform, all rights with no future milestone payments or royalty obligations, to IBIO-101, in addition to CCR8, EGFRvIII, MUC16, CD3 and one additional immuno-oncology candidate plus a PD-1 agonist. The Asset Purchase Agreement contained representations, warranties and covenants of RubrYc and the Company. The acquisition closed on September 19, 2022 after receipt of approval of the NYSE American.

Subsequently after the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of RubrYc in September 2022, RubrYc ceased its operations and dismissed bankruptcy proceedings in June 2023. The Company recorded an impairment of the investment in the amount of $1,760,000 during the year ended June 30, 2022 which was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss under general and administrative expense. The Company also recorded an impairment of current and non-current prepaid expense of $288,000 and $864,000, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2022. The amount was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss under research and development expense.

The Company accounted for the agreements as an asset purchase and allocated the purchase price of approximately $1,342,000 as follows:


Intangible assets	$	1,228,000
Fixed assets		114,000
	$	1,342,000

In addition, the Company assumed three equipment leases that were accounted for as finance leases totaling approximately $814,000. See Note 8 – Finance Lease ROU Assets and Note 13 – Finance Lease Obligations.

Former CEO Departure

Effective December 1, 2022, the Company and Mr. Thomas F. Isett, the former Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and former Chairman of the Board, agreed for Mr. Isett to resign as a member of the Board and relinquish his duties, rights and obligations as the CEO of the Company.

Separation Agreement and General Release

In connection with Mr. Isett’s resignation, the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release with Mr. Isett effective December 1, 2022 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Isett resigned as CEO of the Company effective December 1, 2022, and remained an employee of the Company until December 31, 2022, on which date his employment with the Company terminated.

period and (iv) provided that he elects continuation coverage for health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the full cost of this benefit for up to eighteen (18) months, or if he has not obtained alternative employer-provided health coverage by the end of the eighteen (18) month COBRA subsidy period, the Company will provide him with a lump-sum cash payment equal to six (6) times the monthly amount paid by the Company for the COBRA subsidy. The Agreement includes a general release of claims by Mr. Isett. The Company accrued approximately $2.13 million to general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. As of September 30, 2024, approximately $0.3 million is recorded in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7. Promissory Note Receivable

On June 19, 2023, the Company was issued a promissory note (the “Note”) with Safi Biosolutions, Inc.

interest at the Prime Rate, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus 8.5% (the “Effective Rate”), for proceeds of $1,027,455 after payment of $42,863 to Lender as an origination fee, $1,173 for appraisal costs, and $75 for bank wire fees.

The 2024 Term Note provides for monthly payments of principal and interest based on a four-year amortization period, with a balloon payment of all principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due on the two year anniversary of the 2024 Term Note. The Credit and Security Agreement granted to Lender a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets other than any intellectual property related to any of the Company’s filed patents (the “Loeb Collateral”) to secure the Company’s obligations under the 2024 Term Note. The 2024 Term Note is subject to a prepayment fee of: 4% of the principal amount being prepaid if the 2024 Term Note is prepaid during the first 12 months from its issuance, and 3% of the principal amount being prepaid if the 2024 Term Note is prepaid during the second 12 months from its issuance date.

The Credit and Security Agreement provides that the Company may request that Lender make further loan advances to the Company subject to certain conditions, including that the Company is not otherwise in default under the Credit and Security Agreement and its obligations and liabilities to Lender do not exceed a borrowing base equal to the lesser of: (a) eighty percent (80.0%) of the forced liquidation value of the Company’s Eligible Equipment as determined by Lender in its sole reasonable discretion, or (b) a monthly dollar amount. The Credit and Security Agreement defines “Eligible Equipment” as equipment that (a) is owned by the Company free of any title defect or any lien or interest of any person except the lien in favor of the Lender; (b) is located at locations permitted by the Credit and Security Agreement; (c) in the Lender’s reasonable opinion, is not obsolete, unsalable, damaged or unfit for further use; (d) is appraised by an appraiser satisfactory to the Lender; (e) complies with any representation or warranty with respect to equipment contained in the Credit and Security Agreement; and (f) is otherwise acceptable to the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

The Company’s obligations to Lender under the 2024 Term Note and Credit Security Agreement are further secured by an validity guarantee, dated January 16, 2024 (the “Validity Guarantee”), executed by Dr. Martin Brenner and Felipe Duran in their individual capacity (the “Indemnitors”) for the benefit of Lender. The Validity Guarantee provides that the Indemnitors will indemnify the Lender from any loss or damage, including any actual, consequential or incidental loss or damage, suffered by Lender as a result of, or arising out of, among other things, any willful or intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence by the Company in connection with the Loan and any acts of fraud, conversion, misappropriation or misapplication of funds or proceeds of any Loeb Collateral by the Company or the Indemnitors.

The Credit and Security Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, the 2024 Term Note provides that regardless of whether the Lender elects to accelerate the maturity of the 2024 Term Note, the entire principal remaining unpaid hereunder shall thereafter bear interest at the rate equal to the Effective Rate plus 6% per annum.

The financing is payable in monthly installments of $30,710 through December 2025 and a balloon payment of $652,060 in January 2026. At September 30, 2024, the balance owed under the financing was $933,000. Interest incurred under the financing for the three months ended September 30, 2024 totaled approximately $41,000.

Lincoln Park Stock Purchase Agreement

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, dated as of August 4, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which, under the terms and subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions set forth therein, the Company could have sold to Lincoln Park up to $10.0 million (subject to certain limitations) of Common Stock, from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Additionally, on August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of August 4, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which it agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the resale by Lincoln Park of shares of Common Stock that have been or may be issued and sold by the Company to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The Company could not sell any shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement unless all of the conditions to Lincoln Park’s purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement were met, including that the resale registration statement that the Company is required to file with the SEC under the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC (the date on which all of such conditions are satisfied, the “Commencement Date”). The registration statement was declared effective on August 11, 2023.

Beginning on the Commencement Date and for a period of up to 24 months thereafter, under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, from time to time, at the Company’s discretion, it had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park was obligated to purchase, up to $10 million of shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Specifically, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date, the Company could, at its discretion, on any single business day on which the closing price of the common stock on the NYSE American is equal to or greater than $3.00, by written notice delivered to Lincoln Park, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 5,000 shares of Common Stock on such business day, at a purchase price per share that will be determined and fixed in accordance with the Purchase Agreement at the time the Company delivers such written notice to Lincoln Park (each, a “Regular Purchase”); provided, however, that the maximum number of shares the Company may sell to Lincoln Park in a Regular Purchase may be increased to up to (i) 7,500 shares, if the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE American on the applicable purchase date is not below $20.00, and (ii) 10,000 shares, if the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the applicable purchase date is not below $40.00; provided, however, that Lincoln Park’s maximum purchase commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. The foregoing share amounts and per share prices will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring after the date of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Common Stock. The purchase price per share of Common Stock sold in each such Regular Purchase, if any, will be based on market prices of the Common Stock immediately preceding the time of sale, calculated as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In addition, provided that the Company had directed Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum amount of shares that it is then able to sell to Lincoln Park in a Regular Purchase on a particular business day on which the closing price of the common stock on the NYSE American is equal to or greater than $4.00, then in addition to such Regular Purchase, the Company may, in its sole discretion, also direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in an “accelerated purchase,” and one or more “additional accelerated purchases” on the business day immediately following the purchase date for such Regular Purchase, as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share of Common Stock sold to Lincoln Park in each accelerated purchase and additional accelerated purchase, if any, will be based on market prices of the Common Stock at the time of sale on the applicable purchase date for such accelerated purchase and such additional accelerated purchase(s), as applicable, calculated as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of Common Stock in any purchase under the Purchase Agreement.

The Company controlled the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park had no right to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park, but Lincoln Park was obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions.

As consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Company’s direction pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 10,573 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park as commitment shares (the “Initial Commitment Shares”) and agreed to issue 10,573 additional shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park as commitment shares (the “Additional Commitment Shares” and, collectively with the Initial Commitment Shares, the “Commitment Shares”) at such time as the Company had received an aggregate of $5 million in cash proceeds from Lincoln Park from sales of Common Stock to Lincoln Park, if any, that it elects, in its sole discretion, to make from time to time from and after the Commencement Date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 202,595 shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and received approximately $1.3 million in proceeds. No shares remain available for sale under the registration statement at September 30, 2024.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On December 7, 2023, the Company closed a public offering (the “2023 Offering”) after it entered into a securities purchase agreement, dated December 5, 2023 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers identified on the signature pages of the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold, in the 2023 Offering, (i) 600,000 Shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) 1,650,000 pre-funded warrants (the “2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of Common Stock, (iii) 2,250,000 Series C common warrants (the “Series C Common Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) 2,250,000 Series D common warrants (the “Series D Common Warrants,” and together with the Series C Common Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2023 Offering closed on December 7, 2023. The combined purchase price of each share of Common Stock and the accompanying Common Warrants was $2.00 (the “Offering Price”). A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) acted as lead placement agent, and Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline”), acted as co-placement agent (A.G.P. and Brookline are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Placement Agents”) for the 2023 Offering.

The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agents an aggregate cash fee equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the 2023 Offering. Pursuant to the placement agency agreement, dated December 5, 2023, entered into by and between the Company and the Placement Agents (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), the Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agents for their accountable offering-related legal expenses in an amount up to $75,000 and pay a non-accountable expense allowance of up to $15,000.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4 million in the 2023 Offering after deducting commissions and other issuance costs. Approximately $369,000 of issuance costs are reported in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024.

Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrants

On March 26, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2024 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with several institutional investors and an accredited investor (the “Securities Purchasers”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of the following securities for gross proceeds of approximately $15.1 million: (i) 2,701,315 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,585,963 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and (iii) Series E Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Series E Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,287,278 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share. The Series E Warrants are exercisable at any time after the six-month anniversary of their issuance (the “Initial Exercise Date”) at an exercise price of $2.64 per share and have a term of exercise equal to five years from the date of issuance. The combined purchase price for one share of Common Stock and the accompanying Series E Warrant was $2.85 and the purchase price for one pre-funded warrant and the accompanying Series E Warrant was $2.849.

A holder of the 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series E Warrants may not exercise any portion of such holder’s 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants or the Series E Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

The 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation (as described above) and will not expire until exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and Series E Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s Common Stock and the exercise price.

If at the time of exercise on a date that is after the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective registration statement or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Series E Warrants, the Series E Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise.” If at the time of exercise on a date that is after the 60th day anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective registration statement or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the holders of 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, the 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise.”

Pursuant to the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Securities Purchasers in the Private Placement and the shares underlying the 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series E Warrants no later than 60 days after the date of the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Filing Date”), to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as

promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event not more than 75 days following the date of the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement (or 90 days following the date of the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement in the event of a “full review” by the SEC) (the “Effectiveness Date”), and to keep such registration statement effective at all times for a one year period after the closing date provided that the Company will have the right to suspend the registration statement for a period of fifteen (15) days during such one year period without being in breach. The registration statement was filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on April 24, 2024.

The Private Placement closed on April 1, 2024 at which time the Company received net proceeds of approximately $14.1 million, which was reported as a subscription receivable on the March 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet, from the Private Placement, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, including placement agent fees and expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement primarily for general corporate purposes, including for research and development and working capital.

Chardan Capital Markets, LLC served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement and was paid (i) a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement (reduced to 4.0% with respect to certain investors), and (ii) up to $50,000 for legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was prohibited from entering into any agreement to issue or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock for a period commencing on March 26, 2024, and expiring 60 days from the Effective Date (as defined in the 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement).

16. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the components of the earnings (loss) per common share calculation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Overview

iBio, Inc. (“iBio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a preclinical stage biotechnology company leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the development of hard-to-drug precision antibodies. Our core mission is to harness the potential of AI and machine learning (ML) to unveil elusive biologics that stand out and have evaded other scientists. Through our innovative platform, we champion a culture of innovation by identifying novel targets, forging strategic collaborations to enhance efficiency, diversify pipelines, and with the goal of accelerating preclinical processes. Our proprietary technology stack is designed to minimize downstream development risks by employing AI-guided epitope-steering and monoclonal antibody (mAb) optimization.

Our groundbreaking EngageTx™ technology enables us to target bi-specific molecules. With the ability to navigate sequence diversity and promote Human-Cyno cross reactivity while mitigating cytokine release, our goal is to enhance agility and bolster preclinical safety assessments. Another key feature of our technology stack is our ShieldTx™ masking technology in order to keep antibodies inactive until they reach diseased tissue, where the masks are removed, and the antibodies are activated, all with the goal of broadening the therapeutic window, potentially improving efficacy and safety of treatments.

Our strategic approach to fulfilling our mission is outlined as follows:

●

Further develop and expand the our technology stack: We are continuously expanding and developing our technology stack to tackle current challenges in antibody discovery.

o

Current challenges in antibody discovery: Key challenges in today’s antibody discovery techniques include:

◾

A limited number of drug targets that can be pursued with traditional antibody discovery techniques.

◾

Lack of antibodies with complex mechanisms of action.

◾

Safety concerns for antibodies against widely expressed targets.

◾

Significant time required to optimize antibody leads.

◾

Lack of early assessment of the developability of antibodies.

o

Our technology platform addresses current challenges in antibody discovery: Our epitope steering technology allows the precise targeting of antibodies against hard-to-drug proteins and challenging target epitopes. This is believed to unlock a vast novel target space and enable the targeting of newly identified epitopes on well-validated proteins for best-in-class drug development. While the vast majority of approved antibodies function by disrupting protein-protein interactions, the discovery of antibodies with more complex mechanisms has been challenging. Our ability to steer antibodies towards agonistic or cell-activating epitopes, or epitopes that lock protein complexes in certain active or inactive conformations, is believed to enable the creation of antibodies with a wide variety of complex modes of action.

Although bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates have proven to be highly efficacious, they have also raised safety concerns. Our ShieldTx technology is an integrated part of the discovery process, designed to allow antibodies to be masked and rendered inactive until they reach the intended tissue (e.g., a tumor), where the mask is removed and the antibody is activated. ShieldTx is believed to have the capability of reducing or eliminating adverse effects stemming from off-target tissue effects, increase the probability of success in identifying a fitting mask, and reduce development time.

Lastly, our StableHu technology, coupled with mammalian display technology, has been shown in pre-clinical studies to allow for the reduction of lead optimization times by utilizing single-shot multi-dimensional optimization techniques. This also improves the developability of lead antibodies early in the discovery process.

●

Capital efficient business approach: Our strategic business approach is structured around the following pillars of value creation:

Table of Contents

o

Strategic Collaborations: We have leveraged our platform and pipeline by forming strategic partnerships. We aim to become the preferred partner for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking rapid and cost-effective integration of complex molecules into their portfolios, de-risking their early-stage pre-clinical work. Additionally, rich array of fast follower immune-oncology molecules within the Company’s pre-clinical pipeline holds the potential to drive substantial partnerships, opening doors to innovative projects. By tapping into our infrastructure and expertise, partners have the potential to streamline timelines, reduce costs tied to biologic drug discovery applications and cell line process development, and expedite preclinical programs with efficiency.

o

Developing and advancing our in-house programs cost effectively: Clinical advancement is crucial for drug discovery. As we continue to develop our existing immune-oncology pre-clinical pipeline, we are also seeking strategic partners with the capabilities to more rapidly advance these programs towards the clinic. We also continue to assess our option rights to license three of the four assets under the collaboration with AstralBio to expand our pre-clinical pipeline into obesity and cardiometabolic programs and with the goal to become a clinical stage company.

Focused Investment in advancing the platform: We maintain a focused commitment to invest in our platform, continually unlocking the potential of biology through AI and ML. The pinnacle of being on the forefront of ML advancing algorithms, and models in order to improve its predictive power and reduce the time it takes to find a viable molecule.

In essence, we believe that we are sculpting a future where cutting-edge AI-driven biotechnology propels the discovery of intricate biologics, fostering partnerships, accelerating innovation, and propelling the advancement of science.

AI Drug Discovery Platform

Overview

Our platform comprises of five key components, each playing a crucial role in the discovery and optimization of precision antibodies.

The first layer, epitope engineering, leverages the patented AI-engine to target specific regions of proteins, allowing us to engineer antibodies with high specificity and efficacy. The second layer involves the proprietary antibody library, which is built on clinically validated frameworks and offers a rich diversity of human antibodies. The third layer of the technology stack is the antibody optimizing StableHu AI technology, coupled with mammalian display technology. Next, we use our EngageTx T-cell engager platform to create bispecific antibodies. And last, antibodies are transformed into conditionally activated antibodies by ShieldTx, our antibody masking technology. Each layer of the tech stack is designed to work synergistically, enabling us to rapidly advance antibodies from concept to in vivo proof-of-concept (POC).

AI Epitope Steering Technology

Our epitope steering technology is designed to address these issues by guiding antibodies exclusively against the desired regions of the target protein. By focusing on these specific regions, we can overcome the limitations of traditional methods and significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our antibody discovery process. Our AI engine creates engineered epitopes, which are small embodiments of epitopes on the target protein. The engine is trained to match the epitope structure as closely as possible and refine the designs for greater stability and water solubility, which are critically important factors. The optimized engineered epitope is then used to identify antibodies from naïve or immunized libraries.

●

Naïve Human Antibody Library

The fully human antibody library is built upon clinically validated, entirely human antibody frameworks. By leveraging public databases, we have extracted a diverse array of Complementarity-Determining Region (“CDR”) sequences. Subsequently, we have meticulously eliminated a range of sequence liabilities. Such careful curation process could potentially significantly reduce the development risk for antibodies identified from our library.

●

StableHu^TM AI Antibody-Optimizing Technology

Our proprietary StableHu technology is instrumental in the optimization process. StableHu is an AI-powered tool designed to predict a library of antibodies with fully human CDR variants based on an input antibody. This input can range from an early, unoptimized molecule to an approved drug. The model has been trained utilizing a set of over 1 billion human antibodies, progressively masking known amino acids within CDRs until the algorithm could predict the correct human sequence.

While phage display libraries are often used in antibody optimization due to their vast diversity, they can increase developability risks such as low expression, instability, or aggregation of antibodies. Mammalian display libraries, on the other hand, offer significantly improved developability but reduced diversity due to the smaller library size they can handle. StableHu overcomes this limitation by utilizing a machine learning algorithm generating focused library diversity within the capacity of mammalian display.

Mammalian display is a technology that presents antibodies on the surface of mammalian cells, allowing for the direct screening and selection of antibodies in a mammalian cell environment. This approach is advantageous as antibodies that express well on the mammalian cells used in the display are more likely to express well in the production cell line. Moreover, single-cell sorting of antibody-displaying cells allows rapid selection of desired antibodies based on multiple dimensions, such as potency, selectivity, and cross-species selectivity.

When paired with mammalian display technology, StableHu enables antibody optimization with fewer iterative optimization steps, lower immunogenicity risk, and improved developability.

●

EngageTx CD3-Based T-Cell Engager Panel

We have used antibodies from an epitope steering campaign as well as a first-generation T-cell engager as input and utilized our StableHu technology to identify a next-generation CD3 antibody panel. The sequence diversity generated by StableHu led to an antibody panel with a wide range of potencies, which allows us to pair the panel with a wide variety of tumor-targeting antibodies. Importantly, we were able to retain T-cell activation and tumor cell killing capacity with significantly reduced cytokine release. This reduction is believed to lower the risk of cytokine release syndrome. Additionally, the increased humanness of the predicted antibodies, thanks to our StableHu technology, has the ability to reduce the risk of immunogenicity.

Furthermore, our StableHu technology enabled us to engineer NHP cross-reactivity into EngageTx. This allows for advanced safety assessment in NHP ahead of clinical trials, providing another layer of safety assurance.

ShieldTx

We have enhanced our proprietary technology with the introduction of ShieldTx, patent-pending innovative antibody masking technique. ShieldTx leverages our engineered epitope technology, which is utilized not only for the identification of antibodies against complex drug targets but also for concealing the antibodies' active sites. A significant hurdle in therapeutic antibody development is the expression of drug target on both healthy and diseased tissues, leading to adverse effects on non-targeted tissues. ShieldTx is designed to address this challenge by rendering antibodies inactive until they reach a specific environment unique to diseased tissues. Upon contact with this environment, the masking element is detached, activating the antibody. In the tumor microenvironment this is achieved by a highly expressed matrix metalloproteinase. This strategy aims to minimize or eliminate unintended effects on healthy tissues, thereby improving the safety profile and reducing the immunogenicity risks associated with bispecific antibodies.

Modalities

Epitope steering, an innovative AI-based technology we are pioneering, has the potential to positively impact various areas of medicine. Foremost in immuno-oncology, this technology is instrumental in creating targeted antibodies against specific cancer antigens, potentially enhancing the efficacy of treatments like checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T therapies.

Similarly, in the battle against obesity and cardiometabolic disorders, epitope steering enables the discovery of therapeutics aimed at systemic secreted and cell-surface agents—key factors in these prevalent health issues. Its application could potentially lead to emerging treatments in cardiovascular diseases by targeting specific damaged tissues.

Beyond these areas, epitope steering may contribute to advancements in treating immune system diseases, neurological conditions, infectious diseases, and rare genetic disorders. In the specialized field of intratumoral immuno-oncology, there is potential for epitope steering to modify the tumor microenvironment, which could improve the outcomes of immune-stimulatory protein therapies. Additionally, the precision offered by epitope steering could play a role in the next generation of cancer vaccines, aiming to enhance T cell responses.

While the prospects are broad, epitope steering remains a hopeful strategy in the development of novel treatments, extending through pain management, and potentially even vaccine development for complex protein structures that have been difficult to target.

Collaborations and Partnerships

As noted above, one of the three pillars of value creation that structures of our strategic business approach are strategic collaborations and partnerships. At the center of such pillar is our AI Discovery Platform.

In March 2024, we entered into a collaboration with AstralBio to discover and develop novel antibodies for obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases. As part of the collaboration, we granted an exclusive license to AstralBio of our AI-powered technology to identify and engineer four (4) targets for the treatment of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, of which AstralBio may continue the pre-clinical development and deploy its proven drug development expertise to advance candidates to an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. We have the exclusive option to license three (3) obesity and cardiometabolic targets from AstralBio and as a result, we will receive the rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize those targets upon exercise. As a result of this collaboration, one of the first programs is initiating the development of an anti-myostatin antibody program focused on targeting the transforming growth factor beta (TGFb) superfamily for the treatment of muscle wasting and obesity. Upon mutual consent with AstralBio, we may also expand the collaboration to include additional targets in other fields.

During the first quarter FY 2024, we entered into a collaboration with a partner to license the use of our AI Discovery Platform to assist such partner with two targets of interest. During the second quarter FY 2024, we entered into a collaboration with a large pharmaceutical company to assist such partner by using our patented AI-driven epitope steering platform to assist with one "hard to develop" molecule.

In June 2023, we entered into a research collaboration with the NIAID, a component of the NIH, to investigate the potential of our patented AI-driven epitope steering platform for the development of a vaccine for Lassa fever, a sometimes fatal viral disease endemic to parts of West Africa. Under the collaboration, we worked with the NIAID’s Vaccine Research Center to determine whether using our AI Discovery Platform to steer immunity toward viral epitopes identified by the vaccine center’s researchers could offer advantages over other vaccine development approaches. We designed ten engineered epitopes for the collaboration, which were screened for binding to three known Lassa fever neutralizing antibodies, alongside the NIAID 's Vaccines Research Center’s internal epitope designs. Importantly, our engineered epitopes showed binding to the Lassa neutralizing antibodies and were among the top-ranked hits regarding expression, an important consideration for cost-effective vaccine production. While the NIAID elected not to proceed with joint optimization of the lead hits, we enhanced our discovery process as a result of the collaboration, incorporating diffusion-based generative

AI models into our engineered epitope designs. The new models are already contributing to our pipeline development and are being used with current partners.

We continue to seek out opportunities for future collaborations using our AI Discovery Platform.

Pipeline

We are currently in the process of building and advancing our preclinical pipeline by leveraging our technology stack focused on hard-to-drug targets and molecules offering differentiation in both in obesity and cardiometabolic disease space, as well as immune-oncology. As we continue to leverage our technology stack and develop our existing immune-oncology pre-clinical pipeline, we are also seeking strategic partners with the capabilities to more rapidly advance these programs towards the clinic. We also continue to assess our option rights to license three of the four assets under the AstralBio collaboration to add obesity and cardiometabolic programs into our pre-clinical pipeline. Under this strategic collaboration with AstraBio, it affords us the opportunity to expand pipeline and build a presence in the cardiometabolic disease space.

Therapeutics

Obesity/Cardiometabolic Diseases

Anti-Myostatin Antibody

Through our discovery collaboration with AstralBio, we are using our StableHu and mammalian display technology to discover and identify antibodies against myostatin, the first of four targets for the treatment of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. This initial campaign’s goal is to design antibodies preventing it from binding to the myostatin receptor and which are differentiated against competitor anti-myostatin antibodies. Pharmacological intervention targeting myostatin can be achieved by either blocking myostatin from interacting with its receptor or by targeting the receptor directly. The discovery campaign will be designed to, among other goals, optimize potency, specificity, developability and half-life of novel molecules.

Myostatin, also known as growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), is a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family member that functions to limit skeletal muscle growth and inhibits muscle growth. A loss of function in the myostatin gene leads to a reduction or absence of this inhibitory effect, resulting in increased muscle mass and strength. This genetic alteration can cause significant muscle hypertrophy and hyperplasia, meaning individuals or animals with myostatin loss of function have larger and more numerous muscle fibers. While this can be beneficial for muscle development, it may also have implications for overall metabolism and cardiovascular health.

In November 2024, we have completed an initial manufacturing run of non-cGMP material of our lead molecule in order to complete the initial dosing within an in vivo non-human primate (NHP) study with potential early readouts in early calander 2025.

Immuno-Oncology

IBIO-101

IBIO-101 is a second-generation anti-CD25 mAb that has demonstrated in preclinical models of disease the ability to bind and deplete immunosuppressive regulatory T (“Treg”) cells to inhibit the growth of solid tumors. Targeting depletion of Treg cells to control tumors emerged as an area of interest in oncology over the past several years. Since Treg cells express interleukin-2 Rα (“IL-2Rα” or “CD25”), it was envisioned mAbs could be developed that bind CD25 and thereby trigger depletion by Natural Killer cells, resulting in stimulation of anti-tumor immunity.

Unfortunately, while first-generation mAbs successfully bound CD25⁺ cells, they also interfered with interleukin-2 (“IL-2”) signaling to T effector (“Teff”) cells to activate their cancer cell killing effects. The result was a failure of first-gen anti-CD25 mAbs as cancer immunotherapies, since their favorable anti-Treg effects were negated by their unfavorable impact on Teff cells.

In vitro characterization of IBIO-101 demonstrated potent binding to recombinant CD25 while preserving IL-2 signaling. Further assessment of IBIO-101 showed selective Treg depletion and sparing of Teffs.

In a humanized mouse disease model, IBIO-101, when used as a monotherapy, effectively demonstrated its mechanism of action by significantly enhancing the Treg/Teff ratio, resulting in the suppression of tumor growth. When paired with an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in the same model, the combined treatment of IBIO-101 and anti-PD-1 exhibited superior tumor inhibition compared to either anti-PD-1 or IBIO-101 used independently.

We have progressed IBIO-101 to the IND-enabling phase and entrusted its Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) development to a Contract Research Organization (CRO). In the initial stages of this process, IBIO-101 has exhibited promising attributes for CMC progression. Notably, we've pinpointed optimal cell lines for master cell bank creation and have set in place a CMC methodology to produce IBIO-101 in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, standards.

An anti-CD25 antibody, such as IBIO-101, could be applicable in a number of indications including solid tumors, leukemia, and potentially additional orphan diseases. The Company continues to review the IL-2 sparing anti-CD25 antibody program, IBIO-101, including evaluating whether it can be utilized in certain orphan diseases. If such evaluation is promising, the Company will determine whether to initiate discussions with FDA before the end of calendar year 2025 to outline a potential clinical pathway for the program.

TROP-2 x CD3 Bispecific

We have identified highly potent, fully human TROP-2 (Trophoblast Cell Surface Antigen 2) monoclonal antibodies, which have been formatted into bispecific TROP-2 x CD3 molecules using our T-cell engager antibody panel, EngageTx. TROP-2 is highly expressed in multiple solid tumors, including breast, lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers and is closely linked to metastasis and tumor growth. TROP-2 antibody drug conjugates have been developed to deliver toxic payloads to these cancer cells but could risk harming healthy cells and cause adverse effects. Our bispecific approach has the potential to increase the therapeutic window, while promoting a robust and long-lasting anti-tumor response. Combining the bispecific TROP-2 approach with immunotherapies like checkpoint inhibitors can potentially lead to improved clinical outcomes.

Using EngageTx, our lead TROP-2 x CD3 bispecific antibody was engineered to potently kill tumor cells while limiting the release of cytokines, like Interferon Gamma (“IFNg”), Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (“TNFa”), all of which have the potential to cause cytokine release syndrome. When compared to a bispecific molecule engineered with our TROP-2 binding arm and a first generation CD3 engager, SP34, our lead TROP-2 x CD3 bispecific antibody showed a markedly reduced cytokine release profile, potentially indicating a decreased risk for cytokine release syndrome.

When tested in a humanized mouse model of squamous cell carcinoma, our lead TROP-2 x CD3 bi-specific antibody demonstrated a significant 36 percent reduction in tumor size within just 14 days after tumor implantation, and after only a single dose.

MUC16

MUC16 is a well-known cancer target often overexpressed in several types of solid tumors, including ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancers. Specifically, MUC16 is a large extracellular protein expressed on more than 80% of ovarian tumors. Tumor cells can evade immune attack by shedding or glycosylating MUC16, making it difficult for traditional antibody therapies to effectively target and destroy the cancer cells.

Using our patented epitope steering AI platform, our innovative approach to this challenge allows our new mAbs to bind to a specific region of MUC16 that is not shed or glycosylated, circumventing both tumor evasion mechanisms and potentially providing a powerful tool in the fight against cancer. During its immunization and screening campaign, we identified several hits that specifically bound to the non-shed region of MUC16 while no binding to the shed fragment of MUC16 was observed. Establishing antibodies with the ability to bind to a recombinant version of their target protein represents a vital initial step in the validation process. However, it's crucial to ensure such antibodies maintain their binding affinity in a whole cell context, specifically when the target protein is expressed on a cell's surface. To best predict therapeutic efficacy, it's recommended to utilize tumor cells as a means to demonstrate and confirm this cell binding capability. During pre-clinical studies, our lead MUC16 molecule has demonstrated binding to MUC16 on OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells.

Another critical step in antibody optimization is the humanization of molecules originally raised in mice or other species. Humanization efforts of antibodies carry the risk of, among other things, losing binding strength. After engineering the leading MUC16 molecule with a fully human framework, our MUC16 molecule retained potent binding to the engineered epitope and maintained binding to human OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells.

EGFRvIII

EGFRvIII is a specific variant of the EGFR protein, unique to tumor cells. Unlike the more common EGFR, EGFRvIII is not found in healthy cells, making it an attractive target for therapeutic interventions. This variant is most prominently associated with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer and head and neck cancer but can also be present in certain cases of breast, lung, and ovarian cancers, among others. In our pursuit of innovative treatments, we are exploring antibody therapeutics that specifically target EGFRvIII, aiming to address these cancer types without affecting healthy cells.

Leveraging our patented AI-enabled epitope steering engine, we've specifically directed antibodies to target a unique epitope found exclusively on EGFRvIII, and not on the wildtype receptor, EGFR. Through this precision approach, we have designed tumor-specific molecules aimed at selectively targeting cancer cells while preserving healthy ones, potentially offering patients a more focused and safer therapeutic solution.

Our hit molecules have demonstrated strong binding to the tumor-specific EGFRvIII protein without targeting the wildtype EGFR. Additionally, these molecules have effectively eliminated tumor cells, while sparing healthy ones, in in vitro cell killing tests. Our lead anti-EGFRvIII antibody was specially engineered to enhance its ability to attack cancer cells and has proven effective in a mouse model

for head and neck cancer. In preclinical studies, our anti-EGFRvIII antibody demonstrated a 43 percent reduction in tumor growth compared to untreated animals.

CCR8

GPCRs are one of the most successful therapeutic target classes, with approximately one-third of all approved drugs targeting these proteins. Compared to small molecule-based GPCR drugs, antibody-based GPCR therapeutics potentially offer several potential advantages, including superior selectivity, extended mechanisms of action, and longer half-life. However, GPCRs are intricate, multi-membrane spanning receptors, making clinically relevant regions difficult to identify and target.

The chemokine receptor CCR8 is a GPCR which is predominantly expressed on Tregs, which play a role in suppressing immune responses. In the context of cancer, Tregs can inhibit the body's natural immune response against tumor cells, promoting cancer progression. Anti-CCR8 antibodies are being explored as a therapeutic strategy to deplete these Tregs in the tumor environment. By targeting and reducing Tregs using anti-CCR8 antibodies, the hope is to enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells, offering a promising avenue for cancer treatment.

Aiming directly at CCR8 is believed to be a safer approach because it focuses on specific suppressive Treg cells in the tumor environment without affecting other immune cells and functions. It is important to make sure antibodies are fine-tuned to CCR8 and don't mistakenly target a similar receptor, CCR4. This is because CCR4 is found in many immune cells, and accidentally targeting it could potentially lead to unwanted side effects.

Using our unique AI-driven technology, we have successfully identified molecules targeting CCR8, addressing some of the hurdles often faced when creating therapies that target GPCR with antibodies. Our specialized anti-CCR8 antibody has shown strong attachment to cells expressing CCR8 and effectively disrupted the CCR8 signaling process, resulting in the efficient elimination of Tregs derived from primary human immune cells. Notably, our CCR8-focused molecule did not attach to cells overproducing CCR4, highlighting its precision in targeting only CCR8.

Our CCR8 antibody has proven effective in a mouse model for colon cancer. Preclinical studies show our anti-CCR8 molecule inhibited tumor growth and achieved a 22 percent reduction in tumor size compared to its pre-treatment dimensions. We have specifically engineered the anti-CCR8 molecule as a high Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) antibody to enhance its ability to attack cancer cells.

Amendment to Code of Ethics

On July 2, 2024, we approved and adopted an updated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code supersedes the existing Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted by the Board.

The Code has been updated to modernize its language and structure, promote mitigation of risk with our personnel, and better reflect changes in our day-to-day operations and work environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The history of significant losses, the negative cash flow from operations, the limited cash resources on hand and the dependence by the Company on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our management concluded that our recurring losses from operations and the fact that we have not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from the date of filing this Report for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024. Our auditors also included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024 with respect to this uncertainty.

In an effort to mitigate the substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern and increase cash reserves, we have raised funds from time to time through equity offerings or other financing alternatives, reduced our workforce, entered into a collaboration agreement to discover and develop novel antibodies for obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases and sold certain intellectual property rights. Potential options being considered to further increase liquidity, focusing product development on a select number of product candidates, the sale or out-licensing of certain product candidates, raising money from the capital markets, grant revenue or collaborations, or a combination thereof. However, we anticipate that our expenses will increase as it continues its research and development activities and conducts clinical trials.

On July 3, 2024, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Chardan Capital Markets, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (the “Sales Agents”) providing for the sale by the Company of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time, through the Sales Agents, with certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by us as set forth in the ATM Agreement (the “ATM”). Offers and sales of shares of Common Stock by us, if any, under the ATM Agreement, is subject to the effectiveness of our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the SEC on July 3, 2024 which became effective on August 6, 2024. The aggregate market value of the shares of Common Stock eligible for sale under the ATM prospectus supplement included in the Registration Statement is currently $7,350,000, which is based on the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. No Common Stock was sold under this agreement as of September 30, 2024.

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $11.3 million as of September 30, 2024, is anticipated to be sufficient to support operations into the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, unless we reduce our burn rate further or raise additional capital. Regardless of whether we are able to reduce our burn rate or sell or out-license certain assets or parts of the business, we will need to raise additional capital in order to fully execute our longer-term business plans. It is the our goal to implement one or more potential options described above to allow us to have a cash runway for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any of the options that we are evaluating.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenue

Our ongoing business is primarily focused on i) development of our pipeline for which we do not expect revenue for many years, if at all, and ii) on our AI-driven discovery platform for which to date we have not generated any material revenue. We may have revenue with the AI-driven discovery platform in the future. No revenue was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was related to a research licensing agreement utilizing our AI-driven discovery platform.

Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)

R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, a reduction of approximately ($0.3) million. The decrease in R&D expenses is mainly due to the reduction in personnel costs and decrease spend for consultants or outside services due to certain tasks and assays being performed in-house which were previously outsourced.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”)

G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $2.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, a decrease of ($0.7) million. The decrease in expenses is primarily attributable to the reduction in personnel costs, a decrease in insurance premiums and a decrease in legal and consulting fees. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in accounting fees and travel expeses.

Total operating expenses, consisting primarily of R&D and G&A expenses, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were approximately $4.1 million, compared to approximately $5.2 million in the same period of fiscal year 2023.

Discontinued Operations

On November 2, 2022, we announced our plans to divest our contract development and manufacturing organization (iBio CDMO, LLC) in order to complete our transformation into an AI-driven precision antibody discovery and development company. In conjunction with the divestment, we completed a workforce reduction and discontinued the CDMO operations. CDMO operations were classified as discontinued operations on our financial statements through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The loss for Discontinued Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately ($0.7) million which consisted mainly of interest related to the iBio CDMO entered into a Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Woodforest National Bank (“Woodforest”) pursuant to which Woodforest provided iBio CDMO a $22,375,000 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) to purchase the 130,000 square foot cGMP facility located in Bryan, Texas (the “Facility”), which Term Loan was evidenced by a term note (the “Term Note”) on the Facility and costs to maintain the Facility.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was ($3.9) million, or ($0.46) per share. Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately ($5.1) million, or ($4.24) per share.

Uses of Cash and Funding Requirements

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately ($3.7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($5.3) million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The use of cash was primarily attributable to funding our net loss for the period.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the payment received for interest and principal on the promissory note receivable. Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately ($0.2) million and was attributable to payments towards debt, including the finance lease obligations, term promissory not and equipment financing loan. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Funding Requirements

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our spin-off from Integrated BioPharma in August 2008. As of September 30, 2024, our accumulated deficit was approximately ($317.8) million and we used approximately ($3.7)

Table of Contents

million of cash for operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2023, our accumulated deficit was approximately ($294.7) million and we used approximately ($5.3) million of cash for operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

We plan to fund our future business operations using cash on hand, through proceeds realized in connection with the commercialization of our technologies, through potential proceeds from the sale or out-licensing of assets, and through proceeds from the sale of additional equity or other securities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing these plans, many of which will take several years before we realize proceeds. We cannot be certain that such funding will be available on favorable terms or available at all. If we are unable to raise funds when required or on favorable terms, this assumption may no longer be operative, and we may have to: a) significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the product application and/or commercialization of our proprietary technologies; b) seek collaborators for our technology and product candidates on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; c) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize; or d) possibly cease operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPE”s), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually limited purposes. As of September 30, 2024, we were not involved in any SPE transactions.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of September 30, 2024, have been taken into consideration in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. We base our estimates, to the extent possible, on historical experience. Historical information is modified as appropriate based on current business factors and various assumptions that we believe are necessary to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis and make changes when necessary. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with U.S. GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The following accounting estimate had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

For indefinite life intangible assets, we perform an impairment test annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

Evaluating for impairment requires judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, future growth rates and profitability and the expected life over which cash flows will occur. Changes in our business strategy or adverse changes in market conditions could impact impairment analyses and require the recognition of an impairment charge. Although we base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.

During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we performed our annual impairment testing of the IBIO-101 therapeutic technology (or “IP”), classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, which had a carrying amount of $5 million at June 30, 2024. We engaged a third party to perform valuation assistance with estimating the fair value of IBIO-101 and preparing a market capitalization reconciliation. The Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach was utilized to value the indefinite-lived asset. The MPEEM determines the value of a specified asset by calculating the present value of future earnings attributed to the asset. Since IBIO-101 is currently in its pre-clinical development phase, a probability of success was applied to the cash flows to account for the probability of reaching each step of development. The MPEEM requires that charges for the use of other contributory assets be subtracted under the theory that the owner of the subject asset does not own the other contributory assets and would have to rent/lease them in order to earn the cash flows related to the subject asset.

The resulting probability of success adjusted “excess earnings” were discounted to the present value using a 16% discount rate, which was based on iBio’s weighted average cost of capital. The sum of the discounted excess earnings and the present value of the tax benefit

Table of Contents

related to amortization of the IBIO-101 indefinite-lived intangible indicated that the fair value was $5.9 million as of the June 30, 2024, valuation date. Given that the carrying amount of the asset was $5 million at June 30, 2024, it was concluded that no impairment existed.

There were no triggering events identified in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. We will continue to monitor the value of the IP as part of our annual accounting policy for impairment of long-lived assets. The primary impairment indicators that may arise in the near future are (1) any sustained decline in our common stock market price and (2) FDA decisions on similar competing technologies that are applying for Phase 1 approval.

We continue to operate in a highly competitive environment, rising interest rates (and cost of capital) and experience liquidity challenges. Accordingly, we may have to adjust our cash flow projections and valuation assumptions in the near future to account for market trends and any changes to our research and development plans. Any such future adjustments may lead to material future impairments in the IP and other related assets.

Our remaining critical accounting estimates remain consistent with the information disclosed in the same section in our last annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 2024.

In addition to the aforementioned critical accounting estimates, the following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our consolidated financial statements:

•

revenue recognition;

•

legal and contractual contingencies;

•

research and development expenses; and

•

share-based compensation expenses.

We base our estimates, to the extent possible, on historical experience. Historical information is modified as appropriate based on current business factors and various assumptions that we believe are necessary to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis and make changes when necessary. Actual results could differ from our estimates. See Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Litigation, regardless of the outcome, could have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the Annual Report. Except as described below, our risk factors as of the date of this Report have not changed materially from those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report.

We are reviewing potential options to extend our cash runway. This review could impact our future operations and financial position.

We are currently evaluating a number of potential options to expand our cash runway, the implementation of which will impact our liquidity. In an effort to improve liquidity and our runway, we have consummated the sale of our Facility, reduced our work force, signed a collaboration with AstralBio with to discover and develop novel antibodies for obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases, entered into a securities purchase agreement for a PIPE financing resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million. Potential options being considered to further increase liquidity, focusing product development on a select number of product candidates, the sale or out-licensing of certain product candidates, raising money from the capital markets, grant revenue or collaborations, or a combination thereof. However, we anticipate that our expenses will increase as we continue our research and development activities and conduct clinical trials.

Despite the proceeds from the PIPE financing, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $11.3 million as of September 30, 2024, is not anticipated to be sufficient to support our operations beyond the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, unless we reduce our burn rate further, sublease all or a portion of the San Diego Lease, or raise additional capital. Regardless of whether we are able to reduce our burn rate or sell or out-license certain assets or parts of the business, we will need to raise additional capital in order to fully execute our near and long-term business plans.

There can be no assurance that our collaboration with AstralBio will be successful or will entered into agreements for the sale or out-licensing of any of our product candidates on favorable terms or that the exploration of potential options will result in any agreements or transactions, or that, if completed, any agreements or transactions will be successful or on attractive terms. If we determine to change our business strategy, our future business, prospects, financial position and operating results could be significantly different than those in historical periods or projected by our management. Because of the significant uncertainty regarding our future plans, we are not able to accurately predict the impact of a potential change in our business strategy and future funding requirements.

Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to our ability to operate as a going concern.

We have incurred net losses and used significant cash in operating activities since inception, and we expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $317.8 million. As a result of our continued losses, our cash resources have not been sufficient to sustain our operations, and we have continued to depend on financing transactions to generate sufficient cash to stay in operation. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we used net cash in operating activities of $3.7 million and we are currently incurring negative operating cash flows of approximately $1.1 million per month.

We held cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $9.4 million as of November 11, 2024. Based on current trends and activities, there is significant doubt that we can continue as a going concern beyond the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. We are currently evaluating a number of potential options to expand our cash runway, the implementation of which will impact our liquidity. Potential options being considered to increase liquidity include focusing product development on a select number of product candidates, the sale or out-licensing of certain product candidates or parts of the business, raising money from capital markets, grant revenue or collaborations, or a

Table of Contents

combination thereof. Regardless of whether we are able to reduce our burn rate or sell or out-licensing certain assets or parts of the business, we will need to raise additional capital in order to fully execute our longer-term business plan. We believe based on input from expert advisors, that it is likely we will be able to implement one or more options that will extend our cash runway for 12 months or more from the date of the filing of our Annual Report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any of the options that we are evaluating.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Our management concluded that our recurring losses from operations and the fact that we have not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months after the issuance of out financial statements. Our auditors also included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024 with respect to this uncertainty. If we continue to experience operating losses, and we are not able to generate additional liquidity through a capital raise or other cash infusion, we might need to secure additional sources of funds, which may or may not be available to us. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to further scale back or discontinue the development of our product candidates or other research and development initiatives or initiate steps to cease operations or liquidate our assets.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We expect to incur losses during our next Fiscal year, we do not anticipate generating significant revenue for several years and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Since our 2008 spinoff from Integrated BioPharma, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Our net loss was approximately ($3.9) million and ($5.7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately ($317.8) million.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of common stock, preferred stock and warrants. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including the development and validation of our technologies, and the development of a proprietary therapeutic products against oncology. We have not completed development of or commercialized any vaccine or therapeutic product candidates. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and may incur operating losses for at least the next year. We anticipate that our expenses and losses will increase substantially if we:

●

initiate clinical trials of our product candidates;

●

continue the research and development of our product candidates;

●

seek to discover or license in additional candidates; and

●

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and manufacturing efforts.

Our future profitability and cash flow in large part depends on our research and development programs, including our AI platform, and our ability to successfully develop, partner or commercialize our product candidates and to a lesser extent, which is not anticipated for several years. Our cash position is expected to limit the number of product candidates that we seek to develop. This will require us, alone or with our licensees and collaborators, to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for these product candidates and manufacturing, marketing and selling those products for which regulatory approval is obtained or establishing collaborations with parties willing and able to provide necessary capital or other value. We may never succeed in these activities. We may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability.

All of our existing product candidates are in various stages of development and will require extensive additional clinical evaluation, regulatory review and approval, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before they could provide us with any revenue. As a result, even if we successfully develop, achieve regulatory approval and commercialize our products, we may be unable to generate revenue for many years, if at all. We do not anticipate that we will generate revenue from product sales for at least several years, if at all. If we are unable to generate revenue from product sales, we will not become profitable, and we may be unable to continue our operations.

Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would diminish the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could also cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

The exercise of the Series E Warrants to purchase up to 5,287,278 shares of our Common Stock and/or raising additional capital will cause dilution to stockholders.

Our stockholders will experience substantial dilution from the issuance of shares of up to 5,287,278 Common Stock upon exercise of the outstanding Series E Warrants.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through a public or private offering and sale of equity securities, the ownership interest of stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect rights as a stockholder. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock to investors, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
