**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include statements related to future events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities, including statements related to our strategic plans, capital needs, and our financial position. Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us, on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which we operate and on the beliefs and assumptions of management. Forward looking statements often contain words such as "expects," "anticipates," "could," "targets," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "would," and similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our business, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. For us, particular factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include those risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 12, 2025, in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable, and take advantage of, the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA. Except as required by law, we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to disseminate, after the date hereof, any updates or revisions to any such forward-looking statements to reflect any change in expectations or events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based.

We believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made. However, given the risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on any forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results, developments or other outcomes. You should read these forward-looking statements with the understanding that we may be unable to achieve projected results, developments or other outcomes and that actual results, developments or other outcomes may be materially different from what we expect.

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to "Ernexa" refer to Ernexa Therapeutics Inc., and references to the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refer to Ernexa and its subsidiaries, including Ernexa TX2 Inc., Novellus, Inc. and Novellus Therapeutics Limited.

As used herein, the "Company" or "Ernexa" refers collectively to Ernexa and its consolidated subsidiaries (Ernexa TX2, Inc., Novellus, Inc. and Novellus Therapeutics Limited) unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires. In April 2025, the Company formed Ernexa TX2 Inc., a wholly owned Texas subsidiary, and the Company dissolved Eterna Therapeutics LLC, which was a single-member limited liability company and had no operations.

*Basis of Presentation*

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 12, 2025. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements contained in the 2024 10-K but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2025, or any other period.

*Reverse Stock Split*

 

As approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 2, 2025 (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors within the parameters approved by the Company's stockholders (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split became effective under Delaware law at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on June 12, 2025.

Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifteen shares of the issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined and reclassified into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the common stock, and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains unchanged, after giving effect to the increase in the authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares, which occurred on June 2, 2025 following stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and no cash or other consideration was paid in connection with any fractional shares. Stockholders who otherwise would have held a fractional share after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split instead owned one whole share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. The Company issued an aggregate of 153 shares for rounding up fractional shares to whole shares.

All share and per share data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

**2)** **LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

 

The Company has incurred significant operating losses and has an accumulated deficit as a result of its efforts to develop product candidates and provide general and administrative support for operations. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $4.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $242.9 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, which includes non-cash charges of $0.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, related to a forward sales contract the Company entered into on March 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company used cash of $4.6 million in operating activities.

In April 2023, the Company entered into a standby equity purchase agreement (the "SEPA") with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park"), pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company's common stock in an "equity line" financing arrangement. No shares were sold under the SEPA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and the SEPA expired on May 1, 2025.

In September 2024, the Company entered into certain financing agreements for (i) the private placement of $3.9 million in convertible notes (the "Bridge Notes") convertible into shares of the Company's common stock or pre-funded warrants, (ii) the private placement of $1.1 million in shares of the Company's common stock or pre-funded warrants (the "Equity Financing"), as well as (iii) exchange agreements for the exchange of previously issued convertible notes and warrants into shares of common stock (the "Exchange Transaction," and collectively, the "September 2024 Transactions"). The September 2024 Transactions were subject to shareholder approval, and on October 29, 2024, the shareholders approved the issuance of common stock under the Equity Financing and the conversion of the Bridge Notes and the convertible notes and warrants under the Exchange Transaction into shares of common stock. Following such conversion, the Company had no convertible notes outstanding.

On March 11, 2025 and March 20, 2025, the Company received $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in exchange for the issuance of two promissory notes with aggregate principal amounts of $2.3 million to an investor. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repaid the notes in full for $2.3 million, including accrued interest. See Note 8 for more information on the promissory notes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised $7.2 million in gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company's common stock and prefunded warrants. See Note 12, *Equity Transaction - Private Placement,* for additional information regarding this financing.

In connection with preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's management concluded that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern because it does not expect to have sufficient cash or working capital resources to fund operations for the twelve-month period subsequent to the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will need to raise additional capital, which could be through public or private equity offerings, grants, debt financings, out-licensing the Company's intellectual property, strategic partnerships or other means. The Company currently has no arrangements for capital, and no assurances can be given that it will be able to raise capital when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

**3)** **CONTRACT WITH CUSTOMER**

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* ("ASC 606") when a customer obtains control of promised services or goods in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company had one contract with a customer that was accounted for under ASC 606 related to an exclusive option and license agreement it entered into in February 2023, and amended in August 2023, with a customer, which provided the customer with the option (the "Option Right") to obtain an exclusive sublicense of intellectual property from the Company and to request to have the Company develop a customized cell line. The customer paid the Company a $0.3 million non-refundable up-front payment (the "Option Fee") for the Option Right and paid an initial payment of $0.4 million to commence the cell line customization activities.

On September 24, 2024, the Company assigned this customer contract to Factor Bioscience (as defined in Note 11) whereby all the Company's rights and obligations under the customer contract are now Factor Bioscience's. Factor Bioscience will pay the Company thirty percent (30%) of all amounts it receives from the customer under the contract in the event that the customer exercises its Option Right, and Factor Bioscience will pay the Company twenty percent (20%) of all amounts it receives from the customer for the customization activities set forth in the contract.

Prior to assigning the contract to Factor Bioscience, the $0.4 million received from the customer was being recognized equally over the development period, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of revenue related to the customization activities. There was no such revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company recognized direct labor and supplies used in the customization activities as incurred, which were recorded as a cost of revenue. The Company was also obligated to pay Factor Bioscience 20% of any amounts the Company received from a customer that was related to the licensed technology under a previous license agreement the Company had with Factor Bioscience, which has since been terminated. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million of fees to Factor Bioscience, which was recorded as a cost of revenue. There was no such license fee recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024. There were no direct labor, supplies or license fee recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

**4)** **FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between willing market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

● Level
 1 Inputs – Valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has
 the ability to access at the measurement date.

● Level
 2 Inputs – Valued based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
 either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices
 for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable
 for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived
 principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

● Level
 3 Inputs – Valued based on inputs for which there is little or no market value, which require the reporting entity to develop
 its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash, other receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other current liabilities and other liabilities approximate fair value based due to their short maturities.

The Company issued approximately 23,000 warrants in connection with a private placement during the first quarter of 2022 (the "Q1-22 warrants"), which were determined to be classified as a liability. The Company has also recorded a three year contingent consideration liability related to an asset acquisition in April 2023, which was moved to current liabilities as of June 30, 2025 due to the Company's obligation for this liability terminating in April 2026.

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the Q1-22 warrant liabilities and a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, both of which are considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company remeasures these liabilities at each reporting period and recognizes changes in their respective fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with the SPA (as defined in Note 12) that the Company entered into on March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a forward sales contract liability at fair value and recognized $5.3 million of expense because the fair value of the expected shares to be purchased by the investors exceeds the proceeds under the SPA.

The Company determined the expense related to the forward sales contract as of March 31, 2025 by taking the difference between (i) the fair value of the expected shares to be purchased by the investors as of the March 31, 2025 date the Company entered into the SPA and (ii) the discounted purchase price of the shares. The Company remeasures the fair value of the forward sales contract liability at each reporting period or immediately prior to the settlement of the shares purchased under the SPA and recognizes changes in the fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Upon settlement of the shares, the corresponding forward sales contract liability is then reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the shares under the SPA, and as a result, the forward sales contract liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. There was no remaining forward sales contract liability balance as of June 30, 2025.

The following table summarizes the liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Description** | **Level** | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| *Liabilities:* |  |  |  |
| Warrant liabilities - Q1-22 warrants | 3 | $- | $1 |
| Contingent consideration | 3 | $41 | $41 |

---

Certain inputs used in Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models may fluctuate in future periods based upon factors that are outside of the Company's control. A significant change in one or more of these inputs used in the calculation of the fair value may cause a significant change to the fair value of the Company's warrant liabilities or contingent consideration liabilities, which could also result in material non-cash gains or losses being reported in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The following table presents the changes in the liabilities measured at fair value from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Warrant**<br> **Liabilities** | **Contingent**<br> **Consideration** | **Forward Sales Contract** |
| Fair value at January 1, 2025 | $1 | $41 | $- |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initial measurement |  |  | 5335 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Change in fair value | (1) |  | 512 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reclassification of forward sales contract liability to equity | - | - | (5847) |
| Fair value at June 30, 2025 | $- | $41 | $- |

---

The Company remeasured the fair value of the Q1-22 warrants at June 30, 2025, and the result of the remeasurement was *de minimis.* The Company assessed the fair value of the contingent consideration liability at each reporting period through June 30, 2025 and determined that there were no material changes to the inputs used in the December 31, 2024 remeasurement that would have resulted in a material change to the liability at June 30, 2025. Therefore, the Company did not recognize a change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

**5)** **GOODWILL**

The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million related to a 2018 acquisition that was accounted for as a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying value. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not identify potential triggering events that could indicate that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying value and determined there were no such events that occurred.

**6)** **ACCRUED EXPENSES**

Accrued expenses at June 30, 2025 and December 21, 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Professional fees | $362 | $238 |
| Accrued compensation | 108 | 12 |
| Legal matters | 30 | 323 |
| Other | 438 | 434 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total accrued expenses | $938 | $1007 |

---

**7)** **LEASES** 

The Company currently has operating leases for offices in the borough of Manhattan in New York, New York, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, which expire in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the net operating lease expenses were as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** |

**8)** **PROMISSORY NOTES**

On March 11, 2025, the Company received $1.5 million for the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1.5 million to Charles Cherington, and on March 21, 2025 the Company received $0.8 million for the issuance of a second promissory note in the principal amount of $0.8 million to Mr. Cherington. The promissory notes had a maturity date of the earlier of (i) June 15, 2025 or (ii) upon the Company receiving $5.0 million in gross proceeds from a subsequent capital raise. Each of the promissory notes accrued interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity.

As a result of completing the private placement discussed in Note 12, the Company offset the outstanding principal plus accrued interest on the notes in full in the aggregate amount of $2.3 million with the receivable due to the Company from Mr. Cherington for his purchase of shares in the private placement, and as of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding balances on the notes.

**9)** **STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION** 

*Stock Options*

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted options to purchase the number of shares of the Company's common stock set forth in the table below (in thousands):

---

| | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** | **2025** | **2025** | **2024** | **2024** |
| Stock options granted |  | 5 |  | 33 |  | 127 |  | 158 |

---

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees, directors and certain consultants. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options granted is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-lined basis.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Weighted average risk-free rate | 3.91% | 4.32% | 4.40% | 4.45% |
| Weighted average volatility | 109.87% | 91.77% | 116.43% | 97.91% |
| Dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0% | 0% |
| Expected term | 10.0 years | 5.68 years | 6.36 years | 5.85 years |

---

The per-share weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Weighted average grant date fair value | $3.05 | $21.26 | $4.27 | $21.56 |

---

Vesting of all stock options is subject to continuous service with the Company through the applicable vesting date. As of June 30, 2025, there were approximately 293,000 shares of the Company's common stock subject to outstanding stock options.

*Restricted Stock Units*

 

The Company recognizes the fair value of RSUs as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For performance-based RSUs, the Company begins recognizing the expense once the achievement of the related performance goal is determined to be probable.

Outstanding RSUs are settled in an equal number of shares of common stock on the vesting date of the award. An RSU award is settled only to the extent vested. Vesting generally requires the continued employment or service by the award recipient through the applicable vesting date. Because RSUs are settled in an equal number of shares of common stock without any offsetting payment by the recipient, the measurement of cost is based on the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date, which is the grant date.

In lieu of paying cash to satisfy withholding taxes due upon the settlement of vested RSUs, at the Company's discretion, an employee may elect to have shares of common stock withheld that would otherwise be issued at settlement, the value of which is equal to the amount of withholding taxes payable. Approximately 30 RSUs vested during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and approximately 29 RSUs vested during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company did not grant RSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024, and as of June 30, 2025, there were no RSUs outstanding.

*Stock-Based Compensation Expense*

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Three months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** | **Six months ended June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Research and development | $15 | $15 | $31 | $61 |
| General and administrative | 353 | 408 | 839 | 644 |
| Total | $368 | $423 | $870 | $705 |

---

**10)** **NET LOSS PER SHARE**

The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company's previously issued convertible notes contractually entitled the holders of such notes to participate in dividends but did not contractually require the holders to participate in the Company's losses. As such, the two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including the weighted average effect of prefunded warrants, and without consideration for potentially dilutive securities.

Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the weighted average effect of the prefunded warrants, plus dilutive securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or vesting of stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and the outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock are considered potential shares of common stock and are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share using the treasury method when their effect is dilutive. The Company's convertible notes that were outstanding as of June 30, 2024 were also considered potential shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and were included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share using the "if-converted" method as of such period, and the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the if-converted method was reported. There were no convertible notes outstanding as of June 30, 2025. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for periods in which the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock is antidilutive.

The following table presents the number of shares subject to outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible notes and Series A convertible preferred stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as their effect was anti-dilutive (in thousands):

**11)** **COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

*Litigation Matters*

 

The Company is involved in litigation and arbitrations from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company assesses the need to record a liability for litigation and contingencies. The Company reserves for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Novellus, Inc. v. Sowyrda et al., C.A. No. 2184CV02436-BLS2

On October 25, 2021 Novellus, Inc. filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, against former Novellus, Inc. employees Paul Sowyrda and John Westman and certain other former investors in Novellus LLC (Novellus, Inc.'s former parent company prior to our acquisition of Novellus, Inc.), alleging breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and civil conspiracy. The Company acquired Novellus, Inc. on July 16, 2021. On May 27, 2022 Novellus, Inc. amended the complaint to withdraw all claims against all defendants except Paul Sowyrda and John Westman. Since 2022, the parties have engaged in legal proceedings relating to alleged conduct that took place before the Company acquired Novellus, Inc., including certain counterclaims against Novellus LLC, Novellus Inc., Factor Bioscience Inc., Christopher Rohde, Matthew Angel and the Company (the "Counterclaim Defendants").

On July 31, 2024, Counterclaim Defendants and Sowyrda informed the Court that they had reached a settlement and requested that all claims pending between them be dismissed with prejudice, and on August 9, 2024, the Court approved the motion for approval of dismissal of all such claims with prejudice. On April 22, 2025, Counterclaim Defendants and Westman reached a confidential settlement with an effective date of April 30, 2025. Such settlement included the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a cash payment of less than $0.1 million. On May 27, 2025, Counterclaim Defendants and Westman filed stipulation of dismissal with prejudice with the Court.

*Licensing Agreements* 

On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into the Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement ("the Factor L&C Agreement") with Factor Bioscience Limited ("Factor Limited"). The Factor L&C Agreement terminated a previous license agreement, as well as a license that the Company acquired from a third party pursuant to an asset purchase agreement in April 2023.

Under the Factor L&C Agreement, the Company has obtained exclusive licenses in the fields of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and rare diseases with respect to certain licensed technology and has the right to develop the licensed technology directly or enter into co-development agreements with partners who can help bring such technology to market. The Factor L&C Agreement also provides for certain services and materials to be provided by Factor Bioscience to facilitate the development of the licensed technology and to enable the Company to scale up production at third party facilities.

The initial term of the Factor L&C Agreement is one year after the effective date, and it automatically renews yearly thereafter. The Company may terminate the Factor L&C Agreement for any reason upon 90 days' written notice to Factor Bioscience, and the parties otherwise have customary termination rights, including in connection with certain uncured material breaches and specified bankruptcy events.

Pursuant to the Factor L&C Agreement, the Company will pay Factor Bioscience approximately $0.2 million per month for the first twelve months, approximately $0.1 million per month for the first nine months toward patent costs, certain milestone payments, royalty payments on net sales of commercialized products and sublicensing fee payments.

*Retirement Savings Plan*

The Company offers to its eligible employees a defined contribution plan, organized under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, through its co-employment arrangement with its professional employer organization ("PEO"). Under this arrangement, the PEO serves as the plan sponsor and administrator. Eligible employees may defer up to 100% of their annual compensation or a specific amount imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, whichever is less. The Company matches employees' contributions at a rate of 100% of the first 3% of the employee's contribution and 50% of the next 2% of the employee's contribution, for a maximum Company match of 4%.

**12)** **EQUITY TRANSACTIONS**

*Authorized Shares*

 

Effective June 2, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of Delaware to increase the authorized shares of its common stock from 100,000,000 to 150,000,000. This amendment was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

*Private Placement*

 

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "SPA") with certain accredited investors to sell in a private placement an aggregate of approximately 4,621,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.569 per share (or pre-funded warrants in lieu of common stock at a purchase price of $1.494 per pre-funded warrant). The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable until exercised in full at a nominal exercise of $0.075 per share and may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the Company's outstanding common stock.

The SPA represents a forward sale contract obligating the Company to sell a fixed number of shares of its common stock at a fixed price per share and contains an adjustment to the settlement amount based on shareholder approval, which is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed forward on equity shares. The Company measured the fair value of the forward sale contract as the difference between (i) the fair value of the expected shares to be purchased by the investors as of the date the Company entered into the SPA and (ii) the discounted purchase price of the shares, and recorded a liability of approximately $5.3 million at the contract inception date. The Company also recognized a corresponding $5.3 million charge to expense on the contract inception date because the fair value of the expected shares to be purchased by the investors exceeded the expected proceeds under the SPA.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold the following shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants under the SPA (in thousands):

---

The shares sold on April 2, 2025 (the "First Closing") represented 19.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2025. The shares sold in June 2025 (the "Second Closing") were subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including without limitation, receipt of stockholder approval for such issuance as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules, which the Company received at the Annual Meeting.

Immediately before each settlement date, the Company remeasured the fair value of the respective forward sales contract liability and recognized the change in fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Upon settlement, the Company then reclassified the respective forward sales contract liability to additional paid-in capital. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of forward sales contract expense. There was no forward sales contract expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reclassified the $5.8 million forward sales contract liability to additional paid-in capital, and at June 30, 2025, there was no forward sales contract liability balance.

*Standby Equity Purchase Agreement*

 

On April 5, 2023, the Company entered into the SEPA with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company's common stock. The Company did not sell any shares of common stock under the SEPA during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024. On May 1, 2025, the SEPA expired in accordance with its terms.

*Stock Repurchase Program*

 

In November 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") of up to $1.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. Under the Repurchase Program, the repurchases may be made by the Company from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by the Company, taking into consideration market conditions, stock price, and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not have a set expiration date and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares under the Repurchase Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. There was no such repurchase program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

**13)** **RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

*September 2024 and March 2025 Financings*

Investors who (i) entered into the Exchange Agreement and the Bridge Notes in September 2024 and (ii) entered into the SPA in March 2025 that is discussed in Note 12 included Charles Cherington. Mr. Cherington participated in the applicable financing under the same terms and subject to the same conditions as all the other investors. Mr. Cherington served on the Company's board of directors from March 2021 to July 6, 2023 and currently owns approximately 37% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

*March 2025 Promissory Notes*

 

On March 11, 2025, the Company received $1.5 million for the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1.5 million to Mr. Cherington, and on March 21, 2025 the Company received $0.8 million for the issuance of a second promissory note in the principal amount of $0.8 million to Mr. Cherington. The promissory notes had a maturity date ofthe earlier of (i) June 15, 2025 or (ii) upon us receiving $5 million in gross proceeds from a subsequent capital raise. Each of the promissory notes accrued interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. Upon issuance of the notes, Mr. Cherington owned approximately 32% of our outstanding common stock and currently owns approximately 37% of our outstanding common stock.

As a result of completing the private placement discussed in Note 12, the Company repaid the outstanding principal plus accrued interest on the notes in full in the aggregate amount of $2.3 million, and as of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding balances on the notes.

**14)** **SEGMENT REPORTING**

The Company operates within a single reportable operating segment being the research and development of cellular therapies. The Company has identified its president and chief executive officer as its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who regularly reviews the Company's performance and allocates resources based on information reported at the consolidated entity level.

The CODM uses consolidated net loss as a measure of profit and loss and assesses Company performance through the achievement of its business strategy goals. The CODM is regularly provided with forecasted expense information that is used to determine the Company's liquidity needs and cash allocation to execute its business strategy, and he uses cash as a measure of segment assets in managing the Company. The Company operates in the United States, and all of its assets are located in the United States.

The table below provides a breakdown of the Company's significant operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 with a reconciliation to net loss for each of those years.

The Company's revenue and its cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 relate to a contract with a customer, as discussed in Note 3. There was no revenue or cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Depreciation and amortization expense was less than $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively, in other expense, net, primarily related to the SPA discussed in Note 12. The Company recognized $0.6 million and $1.4 million in other expense, net, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, due to interest expense of $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, offset by income related to a change in fair value of warrant liabilities of approximately $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as income of approximately $0.1 million for the change in fair value of contingent consideration for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

**15)** **RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

No new Accounting Standards Updates have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board since January 1, 2025 that would apply to the Company that are not disclosed in the 2024 10-K.

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

*You should read this discussion together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") together with our audited consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 12, 2025. The following discussion contains or is based on assumptions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under "Risk Factors," in this report and in Part I, Item 1A of the 2024 10-K and as described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.*

 

**Overview** 

Our lead product candidate ERNA-101 is allogenic IL-7 and IL-15-secreting iMSCs. ERNA-101 capitalizes on the intrinsic tumor-homing ability of MSCs to slip through the tumor's defenses and to deliver potent pro-inflammatory factors directly to the tumor microenvironment ("TME"), limiting systemic exposure and potential toxicity while unleashing potent anti-cancer immune responses including enhancement of T-cell anti-tumor activity. Our initial focus is to develop ERNA-101 in platinum-resistant, ovarian cancer. We collaborated with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the ability of ERNA-101 to induce and modulate antitumor immunity in an ovarian cancer model. In preclinical study, ERNA-101 exhibited reduction of tumor growth and statistically significant survival advantage in the ovarian cancer model as compared to the control group. We expect to complete the Investigational New Drug ("IND") enabling studies and IND submission by 2026 and to subsequently enter a Phase I investigator sponsored clinical trial in the second half of 2026.

We are also investigating anti-inflammatory cytokine (e.g. IL-10)-secreting iMSCs in inflammatory/auto-immune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, which we refer to as ERNA-201. MSCs have an intrinsic ability to home to inflamed tissue and have been shown to dampen inflammation and drive/healing/regeneration through multiple secreted mediators and cell-cell interactions. We are investigating the ability of ERNA-201 to turbocharge these anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.

Additionally, we are actively seeking strategic partnerships to co-develop or out-license therapeutic assets and engage with potential collaborators to expand developmental opportunities.

**Recent Developments**

*Amendments to Restated Articles of Incorporation, as Amended*

 

Effective June 2, 2025, we filed a certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, (the "Amended COI") with the Secretary of State of Delaware to increase the authorized shares of our common stock from 100 million to 150 million (the "Authorized Shares Amendment").

Also effective June 2, 2025, we filed a certificate of amendment to our Amended COI with the Secretary of State of Delaware to allow for action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders to be effected by written consent of such stockholders in addition to duly called annual or special meetings of such stockholders ("the Written Consent Amendment")

 

On June 10, 2025, we filed a certificate of amendment to our Amended COI with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15 effective at 12:01 a.m. (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifteen shares of the issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined and reclassified into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the common stock, and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains unchanged at 150 million. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and no cash or other consideration was paid in connection with any fractional shares. Stockholders who otherwise would have held a fractional share after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split instead owned one whole share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. We issued an aggregate of 153 shares for rounding up fractional shares to whole shares.

All share and per share data in this Quarterly Report have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

The Authorized Shares Amendment, Written Consent Amendment, and Reverse Stock Split Amendment were approved by out stockholders at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 2, 2025 (the "Annual Meeting").

*Private Placement of Equity*

 

On March 31, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "SPA") with certain accredited investors and a related registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the SPA, we agreed to issue and sell to the investors, and the investors agreed to purchase, in a private placement, an aggregate of approximately 4,621,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.569 per share (or pre-funded warrants in lieu of common stock at a purchase price of $1.494 per pre-funded warrant). The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable until exercised in full at a nominal exercise of $0.075 per share and may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our outstanding common stock.

Upon the initial closing of the SPA on April 2, 2025 (the "First Closing"), we sold to the investors an aggregate of approximately 662,000 shares of common stock and 34,000 pre-funded warrants (such shares, including the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants equal to 19.99% of our outstanding shares as of March 31, 2025). Following shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting, on June 9, 2025, we sold to the investors an aggregate of approximately 3,182,000 shares of common stock and 622,000 pre-funded warrants, and on June 27, 2025, we sold the remaining approximately 121,000 shares of common stock (the June 9, 2025 and June 27, 2025 issuances collectively referred to as the "Second Closing"). The Company raised approximately $7.2 million in gross proceeds under the SPA.

*Compliance with Nasdaq's Continued Listing Standards*

 

On June 11, 2025, we received a notice from Nasdaq Regulation (the "Staff") that based on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2025 disclosing the Second Closing, the Staff determined that we comply with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires a minimum stockholders' equity of $2.5 million (the "Stockholders' Equity Rule"). If we fail to evidence compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Rule upon filing our next periodic report, which is this Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2025, we would be subject to delisting. Our stockholders' equity was $4.4 million at June 30, 2025.

As a result of the 1-for-15 reverse stock split we effected on June 12, 2025, we received a notice on July 1, 2025 from the Staff notifying us that we regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00.

As of the filing of this Quarterly Report, we are in compliance with all Nasdaq continued listing standards.

**Basis of Presentation**

*Revenue*

Revenue is related to an exclusive option and license agreement we had with a customer, under which we granted the customer an option to obtain an exclusive sublicense to certain of our technology for preclinical, clinical and commercial purposes in exchange for a non-refundable up-front payment to us of $0.3 million. We also began developing certain induced pluripotent stem cell lines in exchange for a cell line customization fee. The customer paid us $0.4 million towards the customization fee, which we were recognizing ratably over the customization period, including less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

On September 24, 2024, we entered into an agreement with Factor Bioscience Limited ("Factor Limited" and together with Factor Bioscience Inc. and its other affiliates, "Factor Bioscience") whereby we assigned the customer contract to Factor Bioscience (the "Assignment Agreement"). The Assignment Agreement with Factor Bioscience assigned all our rights and obligations under the customer contract to Factor Bioscience. Payments to us related to the customer contract will now be subject to the Assignment Agreement, which provides for Factor Bioscience paying us thirty percent (30%) of all amounts it receives from the customer in the event that the customer obtains a sublicense from Factor Bioscience. Upon receipt of future payments for the customization activities set forth in the customer contract, Factor Bioscience will pay us twenty percent (20%) of all amounts Factor Bioscience receives from the customer. Because we have no further obligations under the agreement with the customer, there is no revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. For additional information, see Note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We have no other revenue generating contracts at this time.

*Cost of Revenues*

 

We recognize direct labor and supplies associated with generating our revenue as cost of revenues. We were also obligated to pay Factor Bioscience 20% of any amounts we received from the customer contract discussed above under a previous license agreement we had with Factor Bioscience, which has since been terminated, and such costs were also recognized as cost of revenues.

*Research and Development Expenses*

 

We expense our research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for company-sponsored research and development activities. Upfront payments and milestone payments made for the licensing of technology are expensed as research and development in the period in which they are incurred if the technology is not expected to have any alternative future uses other than the specific research and development project for which it was intended.

The major components of research and development costs include salaries and employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, supplies and materials, preclinical study costs, expensed licensed technology, consulting, scientific advisors and other third-party costs, as well as allocations of various overhead costs related to our product development efforts.

We have contracted with third parties to perform various studies. The financial terms of these agreements vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. We accrue for third party expenses based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended during the reporting period. If the actual timing of the performance of the services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the accrual is adjusted accordingly. The expenses for some third-party services may be recognized on a straight-line basis if the expected costs are expected to be incurred ratably during the period. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events or milestones, the allocation of responsibilities among the parties to the agreement, and the completion of portions of the preclinical study or similar conditions.

*General and Administrative Expenses*

 

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other costs, including equity-based compensation, for our executive and administrative personnel, legal and other professional fees, travel, insurance, and other corporate costs.

*Revenue*

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized ratably over the customization period amounts related to a development fee we received from a customer for a customized cell line. For additional information on this customer contract, see Note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We did not have any revenue generating contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

*Cost of Revenue*

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized direct salaries and supplies related to the customized cell line. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized direct salaries, supplies, and less than $0.1 million of fees to Factor Bioscience under a previous license agreement. There was no such cost recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Total research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increased use of consulting services and headcount, offset by a reduction in the Factor Bioscience license fee arrangement.

Total research and development expenses were flat for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, and was comprised of decreases in the Factor Bioscience license fee arrangement and payroll-related fees due to severance expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that was not incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These decreases were offset primarily by increased professional fees from consultants and increased fees for preclinical study costs.

---

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by approximately $2.5 million primarily due to decreases in (i) rent expense due to a sublease we terminated in August 2024, (ii) professional fees related to legal services and consultants, and (iii) stock-based compensation due to equity awards becoming fully vested during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, our general and administrative expenses decreased $5.4 million primarily due to the termination of the sublease, reduction in our legal services and consultants, and a reduction in payroll related expenses. These decreases were offset by increases in stock-based compensation as a result of an increase to stock options granted and vesting during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. We will continue to focus on finding operational efficiencies that result in cost savings.

*Forward sales contract expense*

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a loss of $0.5 million related to the change in fair value of our forward sales contract, which was remeasured immediately prior to the respective settlement of shares issued under the SPA entered into on March 31, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $5.8 million related to the forward sales contract, $5.3 million of which was initially recognized at the contract inception date because the fair value of the shares that were expected to be issued under the SPA exceeded the proceeds, and the remaining $0.5 million loss was related to the change in fair value that was remeasured immediately prior to the respective settlement of the shares issued under the SPA. See Note 12, *Equity Transaction - Private Placement,* to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for more information on this SPA. There was no similar transaction for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities*

 

We recognized approximately $0.1 million in income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 for the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities as a result of a decrease in the market price of our common stock as of June 30, 2024. The change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was *de minimis.*

*Interest (Expense) Income, net*

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $0.9 million and $1.7 million less in interest expense, respectively, due to a reduction in interest-bearing debt, and we also recognized approximately $0.1 million less in interest income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to having reduced cash balances when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Other Expense, net*

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million of expenses related to the SPA transaction entered into on March 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 12, *Private Placement,* to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for more information on this SPA. There was no comparable expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Provision for Income Taxes*

 

During 2025, we expect to incur state income tax liabilities related to our operations. We have established a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards, since we could not conclude that we were more likely than not able to generate future taxable income to realize these assets. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due primarily to our full valuation allowance.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of approximately $4.3 million, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $242.9 million. We have to date incurred operating losses, and we expect these losses to continue in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $3.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, which includes a $0.5 million and $5.8 million non-cash expense related to the forward sales contract, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we used $4.6 million of cash in operating activities.

On March 11, 2025 and March 20, 2025, we received $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the issuance of two promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2.3 million to an investor. The promissory notes had a maturity date of the earlier of (i) June 15, 2025 or (ii) upon us receiving greater than $5 million in aggregate proceeds from a subsequent capital raise. Interest accrued at a rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repaid the notes in full for $2.3 million, including accrued interest. See Note 8 to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for more information on the promissory notes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised $7.2 million in gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company's common stock and prefunded warrants. We are using the proceeds from this financing for general working capital purposes and used a portion to repay the notes, as discussed above, . See Note 12, *Equity Transactions - Private Placement,* to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for additional information regarding this financing.

Based on our current financial condition and forecasts of available cash, we will not have sufficient capital to fund our operations for the 12 months following the issuance date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital when needed, on favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot raise capital when needed, on favorable terms or at all, we will need to reevaluate our planned operations and may need to reduce expenses, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and might realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. See the risk factor in Item 1A of Part I of our 2024 10-K titled, "We will require substantial additional capital to fund our operations and execute our business strategy, and we may not be able to raise adequate capital on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all."

Historically, the cash used to fund our operations has come from a variety of sources and predominantly from sales of shares of our common stock and convertible notes. We will continue to evaluate and plan to raise additional funds to support our working capital needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, strategic partnerships, out-licensing our intellectual property, grants or other means. There can be no assurance that capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to us and our stockholders. Our ability to raise capital through sales of our common stock will depend on a variety of factors including, among others, market conditions, the trading price and volume of our common stock, and investor sentiment. In addition, macroeconomic factors and volatility in the financial market, which may be exacerbated in the short term by concerns over inflation, interest rates, impacts of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, strained relations between the U.S. and several other countries, and social and political discord and unrest in the U.S., among other things, may make equity or debt financings more difficult, more costly or more dilutive to our stockholders.

In addition, equity or convertible debt financings may have a dilutive effect on the holdings of our existing stockholders, and debt financings may subject us to restrictive covenants, operational restrictions and security interests in our assets. If we raise capital through collaborative arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or grant sublicenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we do not have sufficient cash to satisfy our working capital needs and other liquidity requirements over at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the uncertainty of our ability to remain a going concern.

*Cash Flows* 

 

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized as follows:

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

There was a decrease of approximately $1.4 million in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was due a $4.3 million decrease in net loss, after giving effect to adjustments made for non-cash transactions, primarily due to a decrease in occupancy expense and professional fees, offset by an increase of $2.9 million in cash used in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily related to accounts payable, accrued expenses and operating lease liabilities.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

We used approximately $0.3 million to pay for the purchases of property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes $2.3 million of gross proceeds received from the issuance of two promissory notes and $4.9 million of proceeds received from the First Closing and Second Closing under the SPA, net of offsetting $2.3 million of a receivable related to the Second Closing due from a related party with the outstanding notes payable, including accrued interest, due to the same related party. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes $1.4 million of gross proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes in January 2024 and the fees related to such issuance.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we were required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive officer) and our Senior Vice President of Finance (who serves as our principal financial officer) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report in providing reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
