NOTE 1 - BUSINESS
Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Relmada or the Company) (a Nevada corporation), is a clinical-stage, publicly traded biotechnology company focused on the development of NDV-01 and Sepranolone.
NDV-01 is a novel, controlled-release intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel. NDV-01 is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial to assess its safety and efficacy in patients with aggressive forms of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Sepranolone is a novel neurosteroid epimer of allopregnanolone. Sepranolone is being developed for the potential treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, excessive tremor and other diseases related to excessive GABAergic activity.
The Esmethadone (d-methadone, dextromethadone, REL-1017) program has been terminated effective July 7, 2025.
Relmada was also developing a proprietary, modified-release formulation of psilocybin (REL-P11) for metabolic indications. This program was terminated effective May 12, 2025.
In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.
As previously disclosed, on January 21, 2025,
Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the
Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the
On July 22, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company
that it had approved the Company’s application to transfer its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s common
stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on July 24, 2025. Nasdaq also approved a 180-day extension,
or until January 19, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price in accordance with Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company’s common stock must maintain a closing bid price of at least $
The Company intends to actively monitor the Company’s bid price during the Compliance Period and intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance with the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. While the Company plans to make diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the applicable continued listing standards set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into
an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Asarina Pharma AB (Asarina), a Swedish corporation, pursuant to which the Company
has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase from Asarina all right, title, and interest in Sepranolone,
a phase 2b ready neurosteroid being developed for the potential treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, essential tremor

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects
to incur additional losses until such time that it can generate significant revenue from the commercialization of its product candidates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $
In response to these conditions, management is currently evaluating the size and scope of any subsequent operations and clinical trials that will affect the timing to obtain the required funding of future operations. Financing strategies may include, but are not limited to, the public or private sale of equity or debt securities or from bank or other loans or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or if available, that it will be sufficient to meet its needs or on favorable terms. Because management’s plans have not yet been finalized and are not within the Company’s control, the implementation of such plans cannot be considered probable. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates are stock-based compensation expenses and recorded amounts related to income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash deposits and all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash deposits
are held at two high-credit-quality financial institutions. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which
approximates their fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance of $

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Short-term Investments
The Company’s investments consist entirely of mutual funds. The securities are measured at fair value based on the net asset value “NAV”. Substantially all equity investments in nonconsolidated entities are measured at fair value with recurring changes recognized in earnings, except for those accounted for using equity accounting methods. Changes in fair value of the securities are recorded as part of other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Short-term investment activity is presented in the investing activities section on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Short-term investments at June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024 consisted of mutual funds with a fair value of $
Patents
Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are recorded as general and administrative expense and expensed as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.
Leases
The Company recognizes its leases with a term
of greater than a year on the balance sheet by recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases can be classified as either
operating leases or finance leases. Operating leases will result in straight-line lease expense, while finance leases will result in
front-loaded expense. The Company’s leases consists of operating leases for office space for terms of
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, short term investments, and stock appreciation rights. Due to the short-term nature of cash and accounts payable the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. 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 - Unadjusted 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 - 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 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
As required by Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic No. 820 - 10 Fair Value Measurement, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company’s stock appreciation rights liability is a mark-to-market liability and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company is using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Significant unobservable inputs included expected term and volatility. The expected term was calculated using the simplified method. The volatility is calculated based on the Company’s historical stock price over a period of time.
As of June 30, 2025, the stock appreciation rights liability had a
fair value of $
There have been no transfers in and out of level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance to the full extent of the Company’s net deferred tax assets since the likelihood of realization of the benefit does not meet the more likely than not threshold.
The Company files a U.S. Federal income tax return and various state returns. Uncertain tax positions taken on the Company’s tax returns will be accounted for as liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. There were no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The open tax years, subject to potential examination by the applicable taxing authority, for the Company are from December 31, 2020 forward.
Research and Development
Research and development costs primarily consist of research contracts for the advancement of product development, salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, and consultants. The Company expenses all research and development costs in the period incurred. The Company makes an estimate of costs in relation to clinical study contracts. The Company analyzes the progress of studies, including the progress of clinical studies and phases, invoices received and contracted costs when evaluating the adequacy of the amount expensed and the related prepaid asset and accrued liability.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period. The grant-date fair value of employee share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.
Stock Appreciation Rights
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant cash-settled Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) that are classified as liabilities under ASC 718 (Compensation—Stock Compensation). These SARs allow employees to receive cash payments based on the appreciation of the Company’s stock price over a specified period.
The initial fair value of SARs is determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. SARs are remeasured at fair value at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes pricing model until they are exercised or expire. Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement as a compensation expense. Compensation expense is recognized over the service period, which is the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Upon exercise, the Company will settle SARs in cash based on the difference between the fair value of the underlying shares at the exercise date and the exercise price.

Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of options and warrants to purchase common stock. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net losses in each period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
the potentially dilutive securities that would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss are not included in the calculation
of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders.

Business Overview
Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Relmada, the Company, we or us) (a Nevada corporation), is a publicly traded, clinical-stage biotechnology company. We substantially redesigned our development programs following a comprehensive strategic review in late 2024 and early 2025. We concluded in our review that the most promising path to create shareholder value was to lever our extensive drug development expertise and clinical operations capabilities by acquiring new development candidates, while pausing further work on esmethadone (d-methadone, dextromethadone or REL-1017). Hence we accelerated ongoing efforts to augment our development pipeline while diversifying its risk, which culminated in the licensing of NDV-01, a novel delivery formulation of a chemotherapy regimen widely used to treat non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that is currently in Phase 2, and the acquisition of Sepranolone, a Phase 2b-ready neurosteroid with potential applications in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), Tourette Syndrome (TS), essential tremor and other diseases related to excessive GABAergic activity.
Following the 2024 REL-1017 setback and subsequent post hoc analyses, the program has been terminated effective July 7, 2025.
We also had been developing REL-P11, a modified-release formulation of psilocybin, as an investigational agent for the treatment of metabolic disease. Effective May 12, 2025, this program has been terminated.

Strategic Business Review and New Approach
Following a comprehensive evaluation of the Company’s business strategy and growth opportunities, management and the Board of Directors have implemented on an enhanced approach aimed at maximizing shareholder value.
This refined strategy remains focus on:
● | Innovation – Advancing novel and differentiated therapeutic solutions |
● | Addressing Unmet Medical Needs – Targeting areas with significant gaps in treatment |
● | Large Market Opportunities – Prioritizing programs with substantial commercial potential |
● | Intellectual Property Protection – Strengthen and extending patent coverage to safeguard long-term value |
Key Strategic Priorities
Under this approach, we will continue to emphasize:
● | Leveraging Development Expertise – Focusing on high-value therapeutic areas while rigorously assessing development risks, market viability, and success probabilities |
● | Pipeline Diversification – Expanding and balancing our portfolio to mitigate risk and enhance growth potential |
● | Prioritizing Mid- to Late-Stage Programs – Concentrating resources on assets with clear path to commercialization |
● | Accelerating Market Entry – Streamline development timelines to bring therapies to patients faster |
● | Pursuing Cost-Effective Development Paths – Optimizing resource allocation and strategic partnerships |
● | Targeted Commercialization Strategy – Focusing on opportunities that require minimal sales and marketing infrastructure |
This strategic framework positions the Company for long-term growth while maintaining execution and financial prudence.
Progress in Strategic Execution
We commenced a strategic review in December 2024 of our then existing development pipeline and the opportunities open to us given our core strengths in every aspect of drug development, with particular expertise in CNS. That process recently resulted in a series of transactions that have considerably expanded and strengthened Relmada’s potential to create shareholder value. Since January 1, 2025, we have successfully closed two important transactions, NDV-01 in-licensing and Sepranolone acquisition, which align with our new strategy.
On February 6, 2025, Relmada announced the acquisition from Asarina Pharma AB (Asarina) of Sepranolone, a Phase 2b ready neurosteroid being developed for the potential treatment of PWS, TS, essential tremor and other diseases related to the excessive GABAergic activity.
On March 25, 2025, Relmada announced the in-license agreement from Trigone Pharma Ltd. (Trigone) of NDV-01, a novel delivery formulation of a widely used chemotherapeutic regimen used to treat NMIBC.
Key Upcoming Anticipated Milestones
We expect multiple key milestones over the next 12 months. These include:
● | NDV-01 Nine-month data from ongoing Phase 2 NMBIC Study – 2nd Half 2025 |
● | NDV-01 Twelve-month data from ongoing Phase 2 NMBIC Study – Year end 2025 |
● | NDV-01 United States Investigative New Drug clearance – 1st Half 2026 |
● | Sepranolone - Initiation of clinical trial in PWS – 1st Half 2026 |

Our Development Programs
Sepranolone Program
The GABAergic system is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter pathway. It consists of two types of receptors, GABAA and GABAB. GABAA receptors are a major target for neuropsychiatric drugs, including benzodiazepines, barbiturates and anesthetic agents. The GABAergic system regulates a host of physiological and neurological functions and their related moods and behaviors. The principal positive physiologic modulators of the GABAergic system are the neurotransmitter GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) and the positive allosteric modulator Allopregnanolone. GABA generally inhibits nervous system excitability and thereby produces a calming effect that reduces anxiety and compulsive behavior, among other manifestations. While Allopregnanolone typically enhances GABA’s calming effects, in some individuals it paradoxically exacerbates anxiety and compulsive behavior.
Sepranolone is a synthetic version of Isoallopregnanolone, a naturally occurring neurosteroid that counteracts the effects of Allopregnanolone. Sepranolone is designed to normalize GABAA receptor activity by targeting two specific receptor subtypes (alpha-2 and alpha-4) without directly interfering with GABA signaling, making it a novel and selective treatment approach for diseases such as PWS and TS and other disorders that feature compulsive behavior.
Data from an open-label Phase 2a randomized study demonstrated that Sepranolone has the potential to improve TS symptoms versus standard of care alone, as measured by changes in the YGTSS scoring system (the world-standard Yale Global Tic Severity Scale) compared to baseline. In the 12-week, dual-center, parallel-group study, 26 subjects were treated with Sepranolone (10 mg, administered by subcutaneous injection twice weekly in addition to standard of care (SOC) versus standard of care alone.
The Phase 2a results showed competitive tic reduction and improved quality of life while displaying no CNS off-target effects. Sepranolone not only reduced tic severity in its primary clinical endpoint as measured by YGTSS by 28% (p=0.051) – but also achieved positive results in four key secondary endpoints compared with standard of care:
● | 69% greater increase of Quality of Life (using the Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome Quality of Life total score (GTS-QOL) |
● | 50% greater reduction in impairment (YGTSS) |
● | 44% greater reduction of the premonitory urge to tic (PUTS – the Premonitory Urge to Tic scale) |
Importantly, no off-target CNS effects or systemic side effects were observed in this study. Further, Sepranolone has been evaluated in multiple clinical neuro/hormonal studies involving over 335 participants and has demonstrated a favorable safety profile.
Relmada is currently evaluating the nonclinical and clinical strategy for the development of Sepranolone.
NDV-01 Program
Our second program , in-licensed on March 24, 2025, NDV-01, is a novel intravesicular delivery technology designed for the long-acting, controlled release of gemcitabine and docetaxel. This combination therapy has gained significant interest as an alternative to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for treating NMIBC, especially given the global BCG shortage since 2019. Clinical studies have shown that gemcitabine and docetaxel achieve response rates and Recurrence-Free Survival comparable to or better than BCG. However, conventional administration is cumbersome, requiring sequential drug delivery over three to four hours, with limited tumor exposure time.
NDV-01 potentially addresses these limitations by enabling a single administration in less than 10 minutes, delivering sustained, localized chemotherapy for up to 10 days. This extended exposure enhances the therapeutic effect while improving patient convenience.
NDV-01 is formulated as a controlled-release intravesical therapy containing gemcitabine and docetaxel. By maintaining continuous drug exposure within the bladder, NDV-01 may optimize local efficacy while minimizing systemic absorption and associated side effects. Unlike conventional intravesical instillations, which result in fluctuating drug levels, NDV-01 provides a continuous release of both agents over 10 days. This sustained delivery may improve cancer cell eradication and reduce recurrence risk while lowering the frequency of administration.
NDV-01 is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its safety and efficacy in patients with aggressive NMIBC. The Phase 2 study is a single-arm, single-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of NDV-01 in patients with High Grade-NMIBC. Patients are treated with NDV-01 in a biweekly induction phase, follow by monthly maintenance for up to one year, with regular assessments via cystoscopy, cytology, and biopsy, as indicated. The primary efficacy endpoints are safety and complete response rate (Complete Response Rate at 12 months), and secondary efficacy endpoints are duration of response (DOR) and event free survival (EFS).
On April 28, 2025, the Company announced positive initial data from the Phase 2 study. As of the latest cut-off, a total of 26 patients had been enrolled: 20 patients had reached the 3-month assessment with 7 reaching the 6-month assessment.

Our Corporate History and Background
We are a clinical-stage, publicly traded biotechnology company developing NCEs and novel versions of drug products that potentially address areas of high unmet medical need in the treatment of cancer, neurological disorders, depression and other diseases.
Currently, none of our product candidates has been approved for sale in the United States or elsewhere. We have no commercial products nor do we have a sales or marketing infrastructure. In order to market and sell our products we must conduct clinical trials on patients and obtain regulatory approvals from appropriate regulatory agencies, like the FDA in the United States, and similar organizations elsewhere in the world.
We have not generated revenues and do not anticipate generating revenues for the foreseeable future. We had a net loss of approximately $27,425,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $668,308,000.
19
Business Strategy
Our strategy is to leverage our considerable industry experience, understanding of pharmaceutical markets and development expertise to identify, develop and commercialize product candidates with significant market potential that can fulfill unmet medical needs. We have assembled a management team along with both scientific advisors, and business advisors with significant industry and regulatory experience to lead and execute the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
Intellectual Property Portfolio and Market Exclusivity
We have more than 40 issued patents and pending patent applications related to Sepranolone for multiple uses, including diseases and disorders exhibiting compulsive behaviors such as PWS, TS, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and gambling disorder, potentially providing coverage beyond 2030.
We have more than 10 issued patents and pending patent applications related to NDV-01 for multiple uses, including formulations and methods for controlled release of therapeutics for treatment of diseases such as bladder cancer, potentially providing coverage beyond 2038.

Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to incur additional losses until such time that it can generate significant revenue from the commercialization of its product candidates. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $27,425,907 and had negative operating cash flows of $24,468,909. Given the Company’s projected operating requirements and its existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, the Company is projecting insufficient liquidity to sustain its operations through one year following the date that the financial statements are issued. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In response to these conditions, management is currently evaluating the size and scope of any subsequent operations and clinical trials that will affect the timing to obtain the required funding of future operations. Financing strategies may include, but are not limited to the public or private sale of equity or debt securities or from bank or other loans or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or if available, that it will be sufficient to meet its needs or on favorable terms. Because management’s plans have not yet been finalized and are not within the Company’s control the implementation of such plans cannot be considered probable. As a result, the Company concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Effects of Inflation
Our assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Because of their liquidity, these assets are not directly affected by inflation. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as those for employee compensation and contract services, which could increase our level of expenses and the rate at which we use our resources.
Commitments and Contingencies
Please refer to Note 10 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading Commitments and Contingencies. To our knowledge there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of June 30, 2025 have been taken into consideration in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, management’s estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions under different and/or future circumstances. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
● | it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and |
● | changes in the estimate, or the use of different estimating methods that could have been selected, could have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition. |
We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and none of the Company’s estimates and assumptions used within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements involve a high level of estimation uncertainty. For additional discussion regarding the application of the significant accounting policies, see Note 3 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risks as disclosed under the heading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” in the annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2025, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
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 six months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
