Financial Results for the Quarter ended March 31, 2025 Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $1.9 million for first quarter of 2025 compared to $2.1 million for first quarter of 2024. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily due to timing in product and manufacturing development activities. Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses: Marketing, General and Administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.8 million for first quarter of 2024. The increase of $0.8 million was primarily attributable to increased legal and professional fees and personnel costs. Net Loss: Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $6.8 million compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in net loss is attributable primarily to the non-cash $3.4 million change in fair value of derivative liabilities and increase of $0.5 million in operating expenses. Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, were $9.1 million, compared with $5.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was attributable to the $6.4 million received from financing activities offset by cash used in operating and investing activities of $2.9 million. Based on current plans and assumptions, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its 2025 operating plan to initiate human clinical trials and related milestones.
