Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (“the Company”) is a public company incorporated in Delaware. The Company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing therapies that address the complex needs of individuals affected by neuropsychiatric disorders. Neuphoria is advancing the lead drug candidate, BNC210, an oral, proprietary, selective negative allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, for the acute, “as needed” treatment of social anxiety disorder ("SAD") and for chronic treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"). BNC210 is a first-of-its-kind, well tolerated, broad spectrum anti-anxiety experimental therapeutic, designed to restore neurotransmitter balance in relevant brain areas, providing rapid relief from stress and anxiety symptoms without the common pitfalls of sedation, cognitive impairment, or addiction.
In addition, the Company has a strategic partnership with Merck & Co., Inc. (known as "MSD" outside the United States and Canada) with two drugs in early-stage clinical trials for the treatment of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease and other central nervous system conditions. Our pipeline also includes the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor next generation and the Kv3.1/3.2 preclinical programs, both in the lead optimization development stage.
On October 1, 2024, Bionomics Limited ("Bionomics") announced its intention to redomicile from Australia to the United States via a proposed scheme of arrangement under Australian law between Bionomics and its shareholders (the “Scheme”). Implementation of the Scheme was subject to approval of Bionomics’ shareholders as well as Australian regulatory and court approvals. Bionomics’ ordinary shares, in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) traded in the United States since listing on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") in December 2021 until December 23, 2024. The Scheme was approved by Bionomics shareholders and an Australian court in December 2024. On December 23, 2024, shareholders of Bionomics received a proportionate number of shares of common stock in Neuphoria for purposes of the redomiciliation. Neuphoria is the successor issuer to Bionomics and shares of Neuphoria’s common stock commenced trading on Nasdaq on December 24, 2024. All of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Bionomics were exchanged for newly issued shares of common stock of Neuphoria, on the basis ofone share of common stock for every 2,160 ordinary share. Shareholders of Bionomics’ ADSs (each of which represented 180 ordinary shares) were exchanged forone share of common stock for every 12 ADS held. In addition, as a result of the redomiciliation, Neuphoria issued certain options to acquire shares of common stock in Neuphoria to holders of options to acquire shares in Bionomics (“Bionomics Options”) in exchange for their Bionomics Options and issued a warrant to purchase 1,054,381 shares of common stock in Neuphoria to an institutional investor that held a warrant to purchase 12,652,572 ADSs of Bionomics (“Bionomics Warrant”), in exchange for the Bionomics Warrant.
The issued and outstanding shares and all share and earnings per share amounts of Neuphoria’s common stock as shown in this report have been adjusted in the condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the redomiciliation as if it had occurred on June 30, 2023.
Details of the Company’s entity structure at the end of the reporting period are as follows (post-redomiciliation):
| Name | Entity | Country of Incorporation |
|---|---|---|
| Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. | Parent | United States |
| Bionomics Limited | Subsidiary | Australia |
| Bionomics, Inc. | Subsidiary | United States |
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had working capital of $15.5 million, an accumulated deficit of $169.5 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $17.0 million. The Company has not generated any product revenues and has not achieved profitable operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, and, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In addition, development activities, clinical and non-clinical testing, and commercialization of the Company’s products will require significant additional financing.
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other life science companies, including, but not limited to, risks related to the successful discovery, development, and commercialization of product candidates, raising additional capital, development of competing drugs and therapies, protection of proprietary technology, and market acceptance of the Company’s products. As a result of these and other factors and the related uncertainties, there can be no assurance of the Company’s future success.
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company earned net income of $11.3 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025 resulting from the receipt of milestone payments associated with our research collaborationand licensing agreements (Note 12) and incurred a net loss of $15.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2024. The Company also generated $3.7 million of cash for operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2025.
Based upon the Company’s current operating plans, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to continue funding its development activities into the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, which is more than twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Consequently, management has determined there is no substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve month period from the date these financial statements are issued.
The Company has based projections of operating capital requirements on the current operating plan, which includes several assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and the Company may use all available capital resources sooner than the Company expects. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of uncertainties and assumes the Company will continue as a going concern through the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Although the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, nor is it considered probable under the accounting standards. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding on acceptable terms, it could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all its research and development programs or commercialization activities, which could materially adversely affect its business prospects or its ability to continue operations.
Basis of Presentation
In December 2024, a Scheme was approved by Bionomics shareholders and an Australian court, and, on December 23, 2024, shareholders of Bionomics received a proportionate number of shares of common stock in Neuphoria for purposes of the redomiciliation and Bionomics became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neuphoria, which is the new parent company of Bionomics. The historical financial statements of Bionomics became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon consummation of the redomiciliation. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Bionomics, its subsidiaries, and Neuphoria beginning July 1, 2024; (ii) the combined results of the Company, Bionomics, and subsidiaries following the formation of Neuphoria; and (iii) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented, including adjusting the issued and outstanding shares of common stock to reflect the redomiciliation as if it had occurred on June 30, 2023.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, results of its operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2025.
The Company was previously classified as a foreign private issuer (“FPI”); however, as of December 31, 2023 (the "Measurement Date") the Company determined that it no longer satisfied the criteria to be considered an FPI. As such, beginning on July 1, 2024, the Company was required to begin utilizing the SEC’s domestic reporting forms and apply U.S. GAAP as its accounting framework. There were no material adjustments required as a result of this adjustment to retrospectively apply U.S. GAAP to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Another requirement of utilizing the SEC’s domestic reporting forms is a requirement to use the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency. These consolidated financial statements reflect the change in reporting currency to the U.S. dollar applied retrospectively. References to “$” are U.S dollars and references to “A$” are to Australian dollars.
The presentation of shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2023, as previously reported under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") was reclassified to comply with the presentation under U.S. GAAP.
All share and earnings per share amounts presented herein reflect the impact of the redomiciliation as if it had taken effect on June 30, 2023.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company assesses its license arrangements within the scope of Topic 606 in accordance with this framework as follows:
License revenue
The Company assesses whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct to identify those that are performance obligations. This assessment involves subjective determinations and requires management to make judgments about the individual promised goods or services and whether such are separable from the other aspects of the contractual relationship. In assessing whether a promised good or service is distinct, and therefore a performance obligation, the Company considers factors such as the research, stage of development of the licensed product, manufacturing and commercialization capabilities of the customer, and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace. The Company also considers the intended benefit of the contract in assessing whether a promised good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company is required to combine that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. Arrangements that include rights to additional goods or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, they are considered performance obligations.
The transaction price is determined and allocated to the identified performance obligations in proportion to their stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”) on a relative SSP basis. SSP is based on observable prices of the performance obligations or, when such prices are not observable, are estimated. The estimation of SSP may include factors such as forecasted revenues or costs, development timelines, discount rates, probabilities of technical and regulatory success, and considerations such as market conditions and entity-specific factors. In certain circumstances, the Company may apply the residual method to determine the SSP of a good or service if the SSP is considered highly variable or uncertain. The Company validates the SSP for performance obligations by evaluating whether changes in the key assumptions used to determine the SSP will have a significant effect on the allocation of arrangement consideration between multiple performance obligations.
If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer. The Company determines the amount of variable consideration by using the expected value method or the most likely amount method. The Company includes the amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment.
If an arrangement includes development, regulatory, or commercial milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the Company’s control or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are generally not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received.
In determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments provides the Company with a significant benefit of financing. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the licensee and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the licensees will be one year or less. For arrangements with licenses of intellectual property that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and if the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes royalty revenue and sales-based milestones at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.
The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over time, and if over time, recognition is based on the use of an output or input method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenue, expenses, and certain assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the performance obligations under the Company’s research collaboration and licensing agreements, the collectability of receivables, impairment evaluation for goodwill and intangible assets, and the fair values of contingent consideration and warrants. Actual results may differ from such estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There were no changes to significant accounting policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2025, besides those listed above, as compared to those identified in the fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through additional disclosures about significant segment expenses, including for single reportable segment entities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to this new standard. However, given the Company has one reportable segment, this policy is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard but adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation depreciation, amortization, and depletion expenses for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
Note 3. Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures and reports certain financial instruments as assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:
| Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities: | ||||||
| Contingent consideration | $ | - | $ | - | $491,785 | $491,785 |
| Accompanying warrants liability | - | - | 1,887,457 | 1,887,457 | ||
| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | - | $ | - | $2,379,242 | $2,379,242 |

| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | - | $ | - | $5,245,594 | $5,245,594 |
The Company has no financial assets that are measured at fair value. The liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 are contingent consideration and the accompanying warrant liability (also referred to herein as the Bionomics Warrant). The value of financial assets and other financial liabilities approximate their fair value. The following table gives information about how the fair value of the financial liability is determined.
The accompanying warrants liability relates to the Company’s issuance of accompanying warrants in conjunction with a Private Placement in June 2024. The fair value of the accompanying warrants liability was based on valuations that required inputs that were both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. This approach resulted in a classification of the accompanying warrants liability as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 16 for additional disclosure related to contingent consideration.
The following table summarizes changes in the fair value of the contingent consid eration and the accompanying warrants liability, each for which each fair value was determined by Level 3 inputs:
| ContingentConsiderationin a BusinessCombination | FreestandingFinancialInstrumentsAccompanyingWarrantsLiability | |
|---|---|---|

| Interest receivable | 2,908 | 286 | |
| Total accounts receivable, non-trade | $24,592 | $126,884 | |
Note 5. Leases
In June 2021, the Company entered into a 5-year lease agreement (the “Greenhill Lease”) for its Australian facility located in Dulwich, South Australia. The initial term of the lease expires in May 2026.
The Greenhill Lease requires monthly lease payments that are subject to annual increases of 3% throughout the lease term. The lease also includes two renewal options, at the election of the Company, to renew or extend the lease for additional terms ofone year each. These optional periods have not been considered in the determination of the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities associated with these leasesas the Company did not consider it reasonably certain it would exercise the options. Variable lease expense for the premises primarily consists of common area maintenance and other operating costs.
The following table summarizes the Company’s recognition of the Greenhill Lease including the remaining lease payments through the end of the expected lease term:
| March 31, | |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2025 | $30,612 |
| 2026 | 114,663 |
| Remaining lease payments | 145,275 |

| Current operating lease liabilities | $121,738 |
| Non-current operating lease liabilities | 19,322 |
| Total | $141,060 |
The discount rate associated with the Company’s operating lease is 3.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 1.2 years.
The following table summarizes the effect of lease costs in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss):

Note 9. Share Based Compensation
In December 2024, Neuphoria adopted its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that are available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is 1,000,000 shares. On December 24, 2024, our predecessor entity, Bionomics Limited, effected a redomiciliation through a scheme of arrangement under Australian law whereby and following which Neuphoria became the successor entity to Bionomics. As a result of the redomiciliation, Neuphoria issued certain options to acquire shares of common stock in Neuphoria to holders of options to acquire shares in Bionomics (“Bionomics Options”) in exchange for their Bionomics Options. The structure of equity awards is under the active review of the Compensation Committee to ensure it meets good corporate practice for a company of our size, nature and company lifecycle. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards and/or Performance Awards to one or more Eligible Persons. At March 31, 2025 there were 949,146 shares available for grant under the 2024 Plan.
Equity awards for executives and employees were previously provided by a combination of equity plans that may include the:
Employee Share Plan (the “A$1,000 Plan”);
Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”); and
Employee Equity Plan (“EEP”).
Participation in these plans was at our board of directors’ discretion and no individual has an ongoing contractual right to participate in a plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. For key appointments, an initial allocation of equity was offered as a component of the recipients initial employment agreement.
The following describes the material terms of each of the historic plans.
Employee Share Plan
The objective of the A$1,000 Plan is to assist Management in the attraction and retention of employees, and to provide encouragement to become shareholders. An annual allocation of up to A$1,000 of shares may be granted and taxed on a concessional basis. No shares were issued to employees under the A$1,000 Plan during thenine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Bionomics Employee Equity Plan and Bionomics Employee Share Option Plan
The EEP replaced the ESOP at the Annual General Meeting held December 2, 2021.
The EEP was last amended on October 31, 2021 to provide the Company with increased flexibility to settle EEP awards offered or granted to non-Australian employees and directors by enabling it to offer and grant EEP awards that may be settled in American Depository Shares (“ADS”) (at a number of ADSs that represents the appropriate number of Ordinary Shares offered or granted under the award). In addition, the amendment permits the Company to (i) determine any monetary amounts and accept payments related to the EEP or awards issued thereunder in United States dollars (or any other currency the Board deems acceptable), (ii) impose terms and conditions on the EEP or awards issued thereunder to comply with the securities and tax laws of the United States (or any other jurisdiction the Board deems appropriate), and (iii) take any other steps the Board deems necessary or desirable to settle EEP awards in ADSs.
Share-based compensation benefits have been provided to employees via the Employee Equity Plan, with the exception of share options issued to the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer which were each approved by shareholders at the General Meeting held in February 2023.
Staff eligible to participate in the plan are those who have been a full-time or part-time employee of the Company for a period of not less than six months or are members of the Board of Directors. Options are granted under the plan for no consideration and vest equally over five years, or when vesting conditions are achieved, unless they are bonus options which vest immediately. The amounts disclosed as remuneration relating to options are the assessed fair values at grant date of those options allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date.

Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock could, if they so choose, elect all the directors.
Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends to the extent permitted by law when, as and if declared by our board of directors.

Note 12. License Revenue
Carina Biotech
In November 2020, the Company entered into an IP license agreement (the “Carina Biotech License”) with Carina Biotech ("Carina Biotech"). Pursuant to the Carina Biotech License, the Company is eligible to receive approximately $3 million in certain development, regulatory milestone payments if Carina Biotech advances the development of the therapy to a Phase 3 trial. Carina Biotech is also obligated to pay royalties on its net sales of licensed products, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, ranging from the low single digits to the mid-single digits, subject to certain specified deductions. Royalties are payable until the later of expiration of all licensed patents covering the licensed products, or expiration of all data exclusivity with respect to the licensed product. If Carina Biotech enters into one or more sublicensing agreements relating to the licensed product, we are eligible to receive a percentage of sublicensing revenues.
During October 2024, Carina Biotech made a milestone payment to the Company in the gross amount of A$1 million under the terms of the Carina Biotech License agreement. The milestone payment was due to the Company as Carina Biotech achieved the initiation of the first Phase 1 Clinical Trial(i.e., first dosing in a human subject).
Merck & Co., Inc.
In June 2014, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) ("Merck Agreement") to develop α7 receptor PAMs targeting cognitive dysfunction associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other central nervous system conditions. Under the Merck Agreement, Merck funded certain research and development activities on a full-time equivalent (“FTE”) basis pursuant to a research plan. Merck funds current and future research and development activities, including clinical development and worldwide commercialization of any products developed from the license granted by the Company.
On March 19, 2025, the Company received a $15 million milestone payment from Merck. The payment was triggered by the initiation by Merck of a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MK-1167, an α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator, for the treatment of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease dementia (NCT06721156). This $15 million payment marks the second milestone achieved in the collaboration with Merck. Under the agreement, as amended, Neuphoria is eligible to receive up to $450 million in additional research and commercial milestone payments for certain development and commercial milestones associated with the progress of multiple candidates, plus royalties on net sales of any licensed medicines.
The Company evaluated the Merck Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“ASC 606”). The Company’s obligation under the Merck Agreement related to the residual variable consideration associated with the Merck Agreement are as follows: the Company granted to Merck an exclusive license (even as to Bionomics and its Affiliates) in the Territory under the Bionomics Ltd. Patent Rights and Bionomics Ltd. Know-How, with a right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import and/or otherwise exploit Compounds and Products in the Field.
Regulatory milestone payments are triggered upon the achievement of certain research and commercial milestones. The commercial milestone payments and royalties are subject to the royalty recognition constraint whereby such amounts will be recognized as revenue upon the later of: (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the payment has been allocated has been satisfied, or partially satisfied, because the exclusive license is deemed to be the sole or predominant item to which the payments relate. As all performance obligations are satisfied, the Company will recognize royalty revenue at the date the sales occur.
On March 14, 2025, the Company and Merck executed the Fifth Amendment to the Research Collaboration and License Agreement which amended the patent royalty rate set out in the Agreement, such that, conditioned upon achievement of net sales thresholds set forth in the Merck Agreement, as amended, the Company will be paid royalties on net sales ranging from a low single digits percentage to a low sub-teens percentage, depending on net sales volume. There wereno other changes in the transaction price during the nine months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 16. Contingent Consideration
As a result of the acquisition of Eclipse Therapeutic, Inc (“Eclipse”) during the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company determines and recognizes at each reporting date the fair value of the additional consideration that may be payable to Eclipse security holders due to potential royalty payments based on achieving late-stage development success or partnering outcomes based on Eclipse assets. Such potential earn-out payments are recorded at fair value and include several significant estimates including adjusted revenue projections and expenses, probability of such projections, and a suitable discount rate to calculate fair value.
