Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. The Companyand Basis of Presentation
Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (“the Company” or "Neuphoria") 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. ("Merck") 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 shares. 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 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:
| Name | Entity | Country of Incorporation |
|---|---|---|
| Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. | Parent | United States |
| Bionomics Limited | Subsidiary | Australia |
| Bionomics, Inc. | Subsidiary | United States |
Capital Stock
Under the Certificate of Incorporation, Neuphoria is authorized to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock and
3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.
Common Stock
Voting Rights. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which shareholders are generally entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of common stock, as such, are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation. 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.
Liquidation. Upon the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Neuphoria, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive the assets of Neuphoria available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 524,705 shares of common stock to Armistice Capital upon exercise of their pre-funded warrant through October 2024.
Authorized but Unissued Preferred Stock
Unless required by law or by any stock exchange on which our common stock may be listed, the authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders. Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which apply as long as our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the combined voting power of our common stock if issued at a discount to the market price of the common stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions, and employee benefit plans.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to establish the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, relative participation, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of each series of preferred stock. Our board of directors is also able to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any series of preferred stock (but not below the number of shares of that series of preferred stock then outstanding) without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $10.8 million, an accumulated deficit of $178.3 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $14.2 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 consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company incurred a net loss of $0.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 inclusive of the receipt of milestone payments associated with our research collaboration and licensing agreements (Note 12) and incurred a net loss of $15.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. The Company also generated $0.1 million of cash for operating activities during the twelve months ended June 30, 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 through the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, which is more than twelve months from the date these 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 projected its operating capital requirements based on its current operating plan, which management believes can be effectively implemented. The operating plan incorporates several assumptions that, while considered probable, may ultimately prove to be incorrect, and the Company may use all available capital resources sooner than expected.. The accompanying 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
The accompanying 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.
References to “$” are U.S dollars and references to “A$” are to Australian dollars.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s 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 the performance obligations under the Company’s license agreements, the collectability of receivables, valuation of goodwill and intangibles, accruals, and determining the fair value of contingent consideration and the warrant liability. Actual results may differ from such estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
The Company separately classified $0.1 million of its cash as restricted cash in current assets at June 30, 2025 as the underlying facility lease expires in less than 12 months from the reporting date. These funds were previously classified as non-current at June 30, 2024. These amounts represent the security deposit associated with the Company’s Australian facility.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash and its accounts are monitored by management to mitigate risk. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and bond issuers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The accounting standards define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and require disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact are considered along with assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. The accounting standard for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last unobservable, that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3: | Valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology and including data about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. |
Financial instruments carried at fair value include cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. See Note 3 for disclosure of other fair value measurements.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance that do not extend the life or improve an asset are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of disposed assets and their related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet. Any gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
The useful lives of the property and equipment are as follows:
| Category | Estimated Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Furniture and office equipment | 5 Years |
| Computer equipment | 3 Years |
Depreciation expense for each of the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was less than $0.1 million.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for indications of possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent an asset group is not recoverable, and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The classification of the Company's leases as operating or finance leases along with the initial measurement and recognition of the associated ROU assets and lease liabilities is performed at the lease commencement date. The measurement of lease liabilities is based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the measurement of the lease liability and includes any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise any such options. Rent expense for the Company's operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amortization expense for the ROU asset associated with its finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and interest expense associated with its finance leases is recognized on the balance of the lease liability using the effective interest method based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. As allowed under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases ("Topic 842"), the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for any leases involving real estate and office equipment classes of assets and, as a result, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected to not apply the recognition requirement of Topic 842 to leases with a term of 12 months or less for all classes of assets.
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:
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.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, travel, share-based compensation, consulting costs, contract research service costs, laboratory supplies and facilities, contract manufacturing costs, and costs paid to other third parties that conduct research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Amounts incurred in connection with license agreements are also included in research and development expenses.
Advance payments for goods or services to be rendered in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as a prepaid asset and expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Accrued Research and Development Costs
The Company records the costs associated with research non-clinical studies, clinical trials, and manufacturing development as incurred. These costs are a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses, with a substantial portion of the Company’s on-going research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, including contract research and manufacturing organizations.
The Company accrues for expenses resulting from obligations under agreements with contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), and other outside service providers for which payment flows do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received and efforts expended pursuant to agreements established with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers. These estimates are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. The Company makes significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrual balance in each reporting period. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, CMO, or outside service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid asset which will be amortized as the contracted services are performed. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals. Inputs, such as the services performed, the number of patients enrolled, or the study duration, may vary from the Company’s estimates, resulting in adjustments to research and development expense in future periods. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes to the Company’s accruals could materially affect the Company’s results of operations. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material deviations between accrued and actual research and development expenses.
Share-based Compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair values of the awards. The fair values of stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur, which may result in the reversal of compensation costs in subsequent periods as the forfeitures arise. Compensation expense for employee and non-employee share-based payment awards with performance conditions is recognized when the performance condition is deemed probable.
Foreign Currency Translation
For the Company's non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is the local currency, we translate assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We translate income statement amounts at average rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Income Taxes
The Company's income tax benefit includes U.S. and international income taxes. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effects of these differences are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of deductible temporary differences and tax operating loss and credit carryforwards. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. Management assesses the likelihood the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance or changes the amount allocated as the valuation allowance in a period, it includes a deferred tax benefit (expense) within the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) is the change in shareholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is currently comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments reflecting the cumulative effect of changes in exchange rates between the foreign entity’s functional currency and the reporting currency.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Since the Company hasone reportable segment, adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements (See Note 18).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, ("ASU 2023-09") which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the income tax disclosures within its 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; and 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 | $ | - | $ | - | $1,169,675 | $1,169,675 |

| 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 the end of each reporting period are contingent consideration and the accompanying warrant liability. The value of financial assets and other financial liabilities approximate their fair value. The following paragraph gives information about how the fair value of the financial liability is determined.
The accompanying warrant liability relates to the Company’s issuance of an accompanying warrant in conjunction with a Private Placement in June 2024. The fair value of the accompanying warrant liability was based on a Black-Scholes model valuation that required inputs (see Note 10) that were both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. This approach resulted in a classification of the accompanying warrant 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 contingent consideration and the accompanying warrant liability, for which each fair value was determined by Level 3 inputs:

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 leases as 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:
| June 30, | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $119,593 |
| Less: effect of discounting | (3,279) |
| Present value of lease liability | $116,314 |
| Current operating lease liabilities | $116,314 |
| Non-current operating lease liabilities | — |
| Total | $116,314 |
The discount rate associated with the Greenhill lease is 3.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term is approximatelyone year.
The following table summarizes the effect of lease costs in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss):

The following table summarizes changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2023 | $8,694,186 |
|---|---|
| Foreign currency exchange differences | (4,168) |
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2024 | 8,690,018 |
| Foreign currency exchange differences | (51,409) |
| Carrying amount at June 30, 2025 | $8,638,609 |
The Company has only one business unit: drug development. Management tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing all goodwill is allocated to the drug development business unit.
The recoverable amount of the drug development business unit is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on observable market comparables for drug compounds within the business unit over a period of twenty years covering drug discovery, development, approval and marketing, and a post-tax discount rate of 20% and 24% at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company is currently in its research phase and a shorter-term forecast would not provide reasonable consideration of the time frame, revenue, or costs projections. The cash flow projections are weighted based on the observable market comparables probability of realizing projected milestone and royalty payments.
Management believes that the application of discounted cash flows of observable market comparables for one drug compound is reasonable to be applied to other compounds within the reporting unit at their respective development phases. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit. No growth rates or terminal values have been included in the forecast, as the full development life cycle has been taken into account with the cashflows.
There wereno impairments to goodwill during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 7. Intangible Assets
Intellectual Property
As of June 30, 2023, the acquired intellectual property related to KV1.3 compound, VDA compound, MultiCore technology and cancer stem cell technology. As of June 30, 2024, the KV1.3 compound, VDA compound, and MultiCore technology intangible assets were derecognized as no future economic benefits were expected from their use or disposition. The acquired intellectual property is carried at its cost as of the date of acquisition, less accumulated amortization and impairment charges. There is currently no internally generated intellectual property capitalized.

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 June 30, 2025 there were 908,789 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 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.
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.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the awards granted during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| Year Ended June 30, | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 | |||||

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value in this table was calculated on the positive difference, if any, between the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2025 of $7.10 and the per share exercise price of the underlying options.
As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately$0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested employee stock option awards outstanding, which is expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 0.76 years.
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized total share-based compensation expense of approximately$0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, substantially all of which was recorded as general and administrative expense in each period.
In determining the fair value of the share-based awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.
The dividend yield ofzero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated using the historical volatility of the Company commencing with its direct listing on the NASDAQ exchange post-redomiciliation. The Company has estimated the expected life of its stock options using the “simplified” method, whereby, the expected life equals the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option for service-based awards since the Company doesn’t have sufficient historical or implied data of its own. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected life of the option are based on the yields of zero-coupon United States Treasury securities.
Restricted Stock Units
Terms of RSUs agreements, including vesting requirements, are determined by the board of directors or its compensation committee, subject to the provisions of the 2024 Plan. RSUs granted by the Company vest according to the terms of the underlying grant agreement and are awarded at the closing stock share price on the date of grant. In the event the recipients employment with the Company terminates, any unvested underlying shares are forfeited and revert to the 2024 Plan. RSUs are not included in issued and outstanding common stock until vested and the underlying shares are released.
The table below summarizes activity relating to RSUs for thetwelve months ended June 30, 2025:
| Number ofUnderlying Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at June 30, 2024 · - · $ · - | ||
| Granted | 33,915 | 5.11 |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 33,915 | $5.11 |
There wereno RSUs vested at June 30, 2025. The Company recognized$0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the RSUs for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding RSUs had unamortized stock-based compensation expense of$0.1 million with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of 0.42 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of$0.2 million.
Note 10. Private Placement
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a select institutional accredited investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor in a three-tranche private placement (the “Private Placement”) of American Depositary Shares with each ADS representing 180 ordinary shares of the Company, no par value per share, or pre-funded warrant to purchase ADSs (the “pre-funded warrant”) in lieu thereof, and an accompanying five-year cash purchase warrant (the “accompanying warrant”), related solely to the first tranche of the private placement).
The first tranche of the Private Placement consisted of 1,296,486 ADS and 6,279,905 pre-funded warrant, at a combined purchase price of $0.99 per ADS and accompanying warrant (or $0.9899 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying warrant, which is the combined purchase price of $0.99 per ADS and accompanying warrant, minus $0.0001 which is the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant) (the “Initial Purchase Price”) and the accompanying five-year cash exercise warrant to purchase up to 12,652,572 ADSs at an exercise price of $0.99 per ADS (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) at the Initial Purchase Price per ADS (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof). The first tranche of the private placement closed on June 3, 2024, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $7.5 million.
The second tranche of the private placement is subject to the satisfaction of regulatory milestones that, if achieved, involve the purchase by the Investor of up to an additional $25.0 million of common stock, or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, from the Company at the Initial Purchase Price (as converted for the effect of the redomiciliation and the related share exchange). The second tranche milestones are: the earlier of (i) receipt of formal written correspondence by the Company from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) following planned interactions with the FDA regarding the outcomes of the End-of-Phase 2 meeting and breakthrough designation status for BNC210 for PTSD, or (ii) December 31, 2024. These milestones were not achieved as of December 31, 2024.
The third tranche of the private placement is subject to the satisfaction of regulatory milestones that, if achieved, involves the purchase by the Investor of up to an additional $25.0 million of common stock, or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, from the Company at the Initial Purchase Price(as converted for the effect of the redomiciliation and the related share exchange). The third tranche milestones are: the latter of (i) completion of an interim blinded safety review of the planned BNC210 Phase-3 PTSD study, or (ii) December 31, 2025.
The third tranche purchase option will, however, become a mandatory maximum purchase by Investor during the thirty days following receipt by the Investor of a third tranche closing notice by the Company if the Company’s 10-day volume-weighted average price per share is at least $96.00 with an aggregate of at least $100 million in trading volume (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Investor).
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Investor and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company allocated the aggregate gross proceeds of $7.5 million for the first tranche of the Private Placement by first recording the accompanying warrant as a liability at its fair value and then recording the residual proceeds to the ADSs and the pre-funded ADS warrant as permanent equity on a relative fair value basis.
The accompanying warrant is a freestanding financial instrument that is not subject to ASC 480-10-25. In addition, the accompanying warrant is not considered indexed to the Company’s stock as, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holder of the accompanying warrant may require the Company to make a payment based on a Black-Scholes valuation, using specific inputs. As a result, the Company recorded the accompanying warrant as a liability at fair value with continuous adjustment to fair value each reporting period through the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The pre-funded warrant was a freestanding financial instruments that was not subject to ASC 480-10-25 and was considered indexed to the Company’s stock. The Company recorded the pre-funded warrant as permanent equity with no subsequent measurement adjustments unless modification. The pre-funded warrant was exercised in full in July 2024.
The fair value of the accompanying warrant, which is required to be subsequently measured pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, was calculated using a Black-Scholes calculation with the following assumptions:
| Year Ended June 30, · Year Ended June 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 | ||||
| Expected term (in years) | 4 | 5 | ||
| Expected volatility | 79.6% | 59.8% | ||
| Risk-free interest | 3.7% | 4.1% | ||
| Dividend yield | - | % | - | % |
Direct and incremental costs related to the accompanying warrant was expensed as incurred. Direct and incremental costs related to the pre-funded warrant was recorded as reductions in the related proceeds.

Note 12. License Revenue
Carina Biotech Pty Ltd
In November 2020, the Company entered into an IP license agreement (the “Carina Biotech License”) with Carina Biotech Pty Ltd ("Carina Biotech"). Pursuant to the Carina Biotech License, the Company is eligible to receive approximately$75.8 million in certain development and 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 third 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 Neuphoria 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 thetwelve months ended June 30, 2025.

In the United States, on July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into Law. We are evaluating the impacts of this legislation and will reflect its impact in our financial statements in fiscal year 2026. At this time, we do not anticipate the financial impact of the required changes to be material.
Deferred income taxes reflect future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods when the temporary differences will affect taxable income. Certain items in the above table for the year ended June 30, 2024 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. When necessary, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company has $26.1 million and $27.7 million in valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The decrease in the valuation allowance from 2024 to 2025 was due to a change in the statutory tax rate as well as a one time milestone payment the Company does not anticipate receiving in the foreseeable future.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had U.S. net operating losses ("NOL") carryforwards of $1.0 million with a 20-year carryforward period that starts expiring in 2032 and $2.8 million with an indefinite carryforward period, state NOL carryforwards of $2.5 million with a 20-year carryforward period that starts expiring in 2043, and Australian NOL carryforwards of $95.6 million with an indefinite carryforward period. At June 30, 2024, the Company had U.S. NOL carryforwards of $1.0 million with a 20-year carryforward period and $1.7 million with an indefinite carryforward period and state NOL carryforwards of $1.3 million with a 20-year carryforward period which would start expiring in 2043, and Australian NOL carryforwards of $155.4 million with an indefinite carryforward period.
Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") if a corporation undergoes an ‘‘ownership change,’’ the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income and taxes may be limited. In general, an ‘‘ownership change’’ occurs if there is a cumulative change in the Company’s ownership by ‘‘5-percent shareholders’’ that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The Company is still assessing whether an ownership change within the meaning of IRC Sections 382 and 383 has occurred to date.
ASC 740 prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. We regularly assess the outcome of potential examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has no uncertain tax positions.
The Company files taxes in Australia, the U.S., and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Company is not currently under audit for the open years 2021 - 2024 in the U.S. or Massachusetts. Carryforward attributes that were generated in earlier periods remain subject to examination to the extent the year in which they were used or will be used remains open for examination. The Company is not currently under audit for the open years 2020 - 2024 in Australia.

The Danforth agreement was amended in May 2023, and further amended in August 2023.

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.
Due to changes in the projected inputs associated with the timing and quantum of expected cash outflows, which are in U.S. dollars, the liability increased by $0.6 million and decreased by $1.9 million during thetwelve months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Inputs used are based on the anticipated amounts and timing of potential milestone and royalty payments from licensing agreement with Carina Biotech.
The guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, requires an acquirer to recognize contingent consideration obligations as of the acquisition date at fair value as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquired business. Subsequent changes in the fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The following table details the change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the periods presented:
| ContingentConsiderationin a BusinessCombination | |
|---|---|
| Balance at June 30, 2024 | $587,762 |
| Payment of milestone obligation to Eclipse | (134,741) |
| Change in fair value, net of foreign currency effect | 716,654 |

Note 18. Segment Reporting
The Company operates through asingle operating and reportable segment focused on the discovery and development of allosteric ion channel modulators designed to transform the lives of patients suffering from serious central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders with high unmet medical need. Ion channels serve as important mediators of physiological function in the CNS and the modulation of ion channels influences neurotransmission that leads to downstream signaling in the brain. The Company does not have significant tangible assets as its most important asset is its personnel who are located both in the U.S. and in Australia. The Company manages all business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer.
The accounting policies of the operating segment are as described in Note 2. The CODM evaluates the performance of the operating segment and allocates resources based on net income (loss) as reported on the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). The measure of the operating segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.
The CODM uses net income (loss) to monitor budget versus actual results and to analyze cash flows in assessing performance of the segment and allocating resources. The significant segment expenses are presented on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).
