Notes to Financial Statements
| 1. | Background Information |
BioVie Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease.
The Company acquired the biopharmaceutical assets of NeurMedix, Inc. (“NeurMedix”), a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and a related party in June 2021. The acquired assets included NE3107 (“bezisterim”). Bezisterim, the approved generic name for NE3107 is an investigational, novel, orally administered small molecule that is thought to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatory cascades with a novel mechanism of action. There is emerging scientific consensus that both inflammation and insulin resistance may play fundamental roles in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) and Parkinson’s disease (“PD”), and bezisterim could, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering from AD, 1 million Americans suffering from PD, and approximately 20 million adults in the US suffering from Long COVID, with millions more affected worldwide.
With respect to the mechanism of action, we believe bezisterim inhibits activation of inflammatory extracellular signal-regulated kinase (“ERK”) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (“NFκB”) (including interactions with tumor necrosis factor (“TNF”) signaling and other relevant inflammatory pathways) that lead to neuroinflammation and insulin resistance. By binding to ERK and selectively modulating NFκB activation and TNF-α production without interfering with their homeostatic functions (e.g., insulin signaling and neuron growth and survival), we believe that bezisterim may offer clinical improvements in several disease indications, including PD, AD and long COVID.
Chronic neuroinflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress are common features in the major neurodegenerative diseases, including AD, PD, frontotemporal lobar dementia, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Bezisterim (NE3107) is an investigational oral small molecule, blood-brain permeable, compound with potential anti-inflammatory, insulin sensitizing, and ERK-binding properties that may allow it to selectively inhibit ERK-, NFκB- and TNF-stimulated inflammation. Bezisterim’s (NE3107) potential to inhibit neuroinflammation and insulin resistance forms the basis for the Company’s work testing the molecule in AD, PD, and long COVID patients. Bezisterim (NE3107) is patented in the United States, Australia, Canada, Europe and South Korea.
PD is driven in large part by neuroinflammation and activation of brain microglia, leading to increased proinflammatory cytokines (particularly TNF). Multiple daily administrations of levodopa (converted to dopamine in the brain) is the current standard of care treatment for this movement disorder. However, levodopa effectiveness diminishes over time necessitating increased dosage and prolonged daily administration leads to side effects of uncontrolled movements called levodopa-induced dyskinesia, commonly referred to as LID, which is exacerbated by high dose levodopa. Although levodopa provides symptomatic benefit, it does not slow PD progression.
The Company recently conducted a Phase 2b clinical trial of bezisterim as a potential first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed PD. The SUNRISE-PD trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bezisterim on motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with PD who have not been treated with carbidopa/levodopa. The trial was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a hybrid decentralized design and lasted 20 weeks from initial screening through safety follow-up for each participant. The trial commenced in April 2025and completed enrollment in December 2025. In August 2026, the Company announced topline results of the trial. The trial successfully met prespecified endpoints and achieved its objectives, with topline results showing that bezisterim improved blood based inflammatory markers of disease, along with a broad range of biological markers associated with overall cellular health and nerve cell damage. Participants treated with bezisterim experienced greater improvements than those receiving placebo across a series of clinical outcome measures of daily living, motor symptoms, and nonmotor symptoms. We intend to use these results to inform the design of a potentially pivotal Phase 3 registrational trial of bezisterim in PD.
The previous Phase 2 study of bezisterim (NE3107) for the treatment of PD (NCT05083260) that we completed in December 2022, was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics study in PD participants treated with carbidopa/levodopa and bezisterim (NE3107). Forty-five patients with a defined L-dopa “off state” were randomized 1:1 to placebo: bezisterim (NE3107) 20 mg twice daily for 28 days. This trial was launched with two design objectives: 1) the primary objective was safety and a drug-drug interaction study as requested by the FDA to measure the potential for adverse interactions of bezisterim (NE3107) with carbidopa/ levodopa; and 2) the secondary objective was to determine if preclinical indications of promotoric activity and apparent enhancement of levodopa activity could be seen in humans. Both objectives were met.
Long COVID is a condition in which symptoms of COVID-19, the acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, persist for an extended period, generally three months or more. Common symptoms include lingering loss of smell and taste, extreme fatigue, and “brain fog,” though persistent cardiovascular and respiratory problems, muscle weakness, and neurologic issues have also been documented.
In April 2024, the Company was awarded a clinical trial grant of $13.1 million from the U.S. Department of War (“DOW”), formerly known as the Department of Defense, awarded through the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. In August 2024, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Office of Human Research Oversight (“OHRO”) approved the Company’s plan to evaluate bezisterim for the treatment of neurological symptoms that are associated with long COVID and the FDA authorized our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for bezisterim allowing the Company to study a novel, anti-inflammatory approach for the treatment of the debilitating neurocognitive symptoms associated with long COVID. The Phase 2 ADDRESS-LC study is a randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of bezisterim in adult participants with long COVID who have cognitive impairment sequelae and fatigue. The trial commenced in May 2025 and completed enrollment in May 2026. The Company currently expects to report topline results in late summer 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, the total cost incurred was approximately $12.9 million and as of August 7, 2026 the total cost reimbursed was $12.9 million. Grant reimbursements recognized for the corresponding research and development expenses in the accompanying statements of operations totaled approximately $7.6 million and $5.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Alzheimer’s Disease
In AD, BioVie has conducted both Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials. Preliminary data from these trials suggest improvements in cognition and biomarkers, supporting further trials to evaluate its potential as a therapy for the six million Americans living with AD.
Results of a Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial (NCT05227820) showing bezisterim treated patients experienced improved cognition and biomarker levels were presented at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) annual conference in December 2022.
On November 29, 2023, the Company announced the analysis of its unblinded, topline efficacy data from its Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT04669028) of bezisterim in the treatment of mild to moderate AD. The study had co-primary endpoints measuring cognitive impairment using the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Scale (ADAS-Cog 12) and function using the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). Patients were randomly assigned, 1:1 versus placebo, to receive sequentially 5 mg of bezisterim orally twice a day for 14 days, then 10 mg orally twice a day for 14 days, followed by 26 weeks of 20 mg orally twice daily.
Upon trial completion, as the Company began the process of unblinding the trial data, the Company found significant deviation from protocol and current good clinical practices (“cGCPs”) violations at 15 study sites (virtually all of which were from one geographic area). This highly unusual level of suspected improprieties led the Company to exclude all patients from these sites and to refer the sites to the FDA Office of Scientific Investigations (“OSI”) for potential further action. After the patient exclusions, 81 patients remained in the Modified Intent to Treat population, 57 of whom were in the Per-Protocol population which included those who completed the trial and were verified to take study drug from pharmacokinetic data.
The trial was originally designed to be 80% powered with 125 patients in each of the treatment and placebo arms. The unplanned exclusion of so many patients left the trial underpowered for the primary endpoints. In the Per-Protocol population, which included those patients who completed the trial and who were further verified to have taken the study drug (based on pharmacokinetic data), an observed descriptive change from baseline appeared to suggest a slowing of cognitive decline; these same patients experienced an advantage in age deceleration vs. placebo as measured by DNA epigenetic changes. Age deceleration is used by longevity researchers to measure the difference between the patient’s biological age, in this case as measured by the Horvath DNA methylation Skin Blood Clock, relative to the patient’s actual chronological age. This test was a non-primary/secondary endpoint, other-outcome measure, done via blood collected at week 30 (end of study). Additional DNA methylation data continues to be collected and analyzed.
In liver disease, our investigational drug candidate BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) was granted both FDA Fast Track status and FDA Orphan Drug designation for ascites (due to all etiologies except cancer), which is the most common complication related to liver cirrhosis and represents a significant unmet medical need. BIV201 is being evaluated as a treatment option for patients suffering from life-threatening complications of liver cirrhosis and ascites due to hepatitis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and alcoholism. U.S. treatment costs for liver cirrhosis, including ascites and other complications, are estimated at more than $5 billion annually and have an estimated 50% mortality rate within 6 to 12 months. The FDA has never approved any drug specifically for treating ascites.
After receiving guidance from the FDA regarding the design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the treatment of patients with cirrhosis and ascites, the Company is currently finalizing the protocol design for the Phase 3 study of BIV201 with a focus on demonstrating clinical benefit through a composite primary endpoint of complications and disease progression in patients with cirrhosis and ascites who have recently recovered from acute kidney injury (“AKI”). Ascites is a common complication of advanced liver cirrhosis involving the accumulation of large volumes of fluid in the abdomen, often exceeding five liters, due to liver and kidney dysfunction. BIV201 is administered in a continuous infusion of terlipressin as a patent-pending liquid formulation with patents issued in the U.S., China, Japan, Chile, Australia, Mexico and India to date. Terlipressin is used in over 40 countries to treat complications of liver cirrhosis, including Type 1 hepatorenal syndrome and bleeding esophageal varices, and was approved in the U.S. in 2022 to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome experiencing a rapid reduction in kidney function; it is not currently approved in Japan.
In May 2025, the Company formed Option Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary with no discreet financial information. In January 2026, the Company filed a Form S-1 with carved out financial statements for Option Therapeutics, Inc.
| 2. | Liquidity and Going Concern |
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial conditions. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the results of clinical testing and trial activities of the Company’s products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, Company products; the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products; and the Company’s ability to raise capital. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had working capital of approximately $9.8 million, cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.0 million, stockholders’ equity of approximately $10.3 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $374.3 million. The Company is in the pre-revenue stage and no revenues are expected in the foreseeable future. The Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as its ability to secure additional financing as needed. Projected cash flows could be extended if further measures are taken to delay planned expenditures in our research protocols and slow the progress in the Company’s development and launch of next phase clinical programs.
The future viability of the Company is largely dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. Management expects that future sources of funding may include sales of equity, obtaining loans, or other strategic transactions.
Although management continues to pursue the Company’s strategic plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, to fund continuing operations. These circumstances raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
| 3. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented in the statements of operations are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, accounting for clinical accruals, share-based compensation, assumptions used in recording leases, the inputs used in the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets in connection with impairment testing and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposits and money market funds held at a bank and funds held in a brokerage account which included a U.S. treasury money market fund and U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk in the Financial Service Industry
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash deposited in a certain financial institution in excess of federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, if liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Fair value measurement of assets and liabilities
We determine the fair values of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair value, due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts of operating lease liabilities approximate their fair values since they bear interest at rates which approximate market rates for similar debt instruments.
Prepaid and other assets
Prepaid and other assets consist of prepayments of certain expenses such as cost related to capital raise activities, insurance reimbursement; and a security deposit paid in connection with a lease agreement.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion on our balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate the lease term in its calculation unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise any such options. Rent expense is recognized under the operating leases on a straight-line basis. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which have a lease term of 12 months or less at inception, and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the preclinical and/or clinical trials of drug candidates, compensation and other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants and related contracted research costs.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company decided to apply a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the continuing losses.
The Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of such date. Additionally, there have been no unrecognized tax benefits subsequent to adoption. The Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue, if any, according to the provisions of relevant tax law as general and administrative expenses, in the Statements of Operations. For the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there wasno such interest or penalties.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and potentially outstanding shares of Common Stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and convertible debentures. For the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, such amounts were excluded from the diluted loss since their effect was considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the periods presented.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2026 of 7,245,928 includes the weighted average effect of the pre-funded warrants issued in connection with the August 2025 Offering, the exercise of which requires nominal consideration for the delivery of the shares of common stock (see Note 6).
The table below shows the potential shares of common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at each year end, that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| June 30, 2026 | June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares | Number of Shares | |
| Stock Options | 2,785,363 | 84,872 |
| Warrants | 7,902,037 | 960,098 |
| Restricted Stock Units | 300 | 7,213 |
| 10,687,700 | 1,052,183 |
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 – “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (stock options and Common Stock purchase warrants). For employees and non-employees awards, the fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate, and is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures which are recorded as they occur. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of peer companies and other factors estimated over the expected term of the stock options. For employee and non-employee awards, the expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and further periodic tests to the extent indicators of impairment develop between annual impairment tests. The Company’s impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to the reporting unit. To determine the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company may use various approaches including an asset or cost approach, market approach or income approach or any combination thereof. These approaches may require the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions including future cash flows, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed each time the Company tests goodwill for impairment and are typically developed as part of the Company’s routine business planning and forecasting process. While the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, variations from those estimates could produce materially different results. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairments for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its undiscounted estimated future cash flows, an impairment review is performed. An impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated or amortized. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheets. The Company did not recognize any long-lived asset impairments for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Grant program
The Company records expenses related to the DOD Long Covid Program as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement of such expenses is recognized upon receipt of the reimbursement, or when it is probable the reimbursement will be received, as a credit against the respective expense account.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as one operating segment with a focus on its efforts to develop drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease. The Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as the chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company based on the line items included within these financial statements. This enables the CEO to assess the overall level of available resources and determine how best to deploy these resources across functions, clinical trials, and development projects in line with the long-term company-wide strategic goals.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”).
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard retroactively on July 1, 2025, which expanded the Company’s disclosures beginning with its annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026, but did not have an impact on the consolidated financial results.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”), which will require additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

Equity Transactions with Acuitas (former related party)
On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (“Acuitas”), the Company’s largest stockholder, pursuant to which Acuitas agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement, (i) an aggregate of 36,364 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price of $165.00 per share (the “PIPE Shares”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 72,728 shares of Common Stock (“PIPE Warrant Shares”), at an original exercise price of $182.00, with a term of exercise of five years.
As a result of the Company’s subsequent capital raises, the warrants’ down round features (the “ratchet adjustment”) resulted in deemed dividends of $43,544 and $369,465 recognized in the accompanying statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the deemed dividend of $369,465 was recognized based on rachet adjustments from the September 25, 2024 and October 22, 2024 capital raises, that reduced the exercise prices to $15.30 per share and $13.70 per share, respectively. The fair value of the PIPE Warrant Shares were estimated using the Black Scholes Method with the following inputs at September 2024, the stock price of $12.00, exercise price of $15.30 and $100.00, remaining term of 2.9 years, risk free rate of 3.5% and volatility of 93.0%, resulting in a $325,041 deemed dividend; and the following inputs at October 22, 2024, the stock price of $33.60, exercise price of $15.30 and $13.70, remaining term of 2.8 years, risk free rate of 4.0% and volatility of 94.0%, resulting in a $44,424 deemed dividend.
For the year ended June 30, 2026, the deemed dividend of $43,544 was recognized from the ratchet adjustment resulting from the August 2025 capital raise, which reduced the exercise price from $13.70 to $2.50 per share. The fair value of the PIPE Warrant Shares was estimated using the Black Scholes Method with the following inputs, the stock price of $1.79, exercise price of $13.70 and reduced exercise price of $2.50, remaining term of 2.0 years, risk free rate of 3.8% and volatility of 94.0%.
Consulting expenses
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid a Director of the Company $50,000 for consulting services which are reflected as a component of general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations.
Issuance of common stock for cash
On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and B. Riley Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time-to-time shares of the Company’s common stock through the Agents, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. On April 6, 2023, the Company and B. Riley Securities, Inc. mutually agreed to terminate B. Riley Securities, Inc.’s role as a sales agent under the Sales Agreement.

Shareholder class action complaint and shareholder derivative complaints
On January 19, 2024, a purported securities class action complaint, captionedEric Olmstead v. BioVie Inc. et al., No. 3:24-cv-00035, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. On February 22, 2024, a second, related putative securities class action was filed in the same court asserting similar claims against the same defendants, captionedWay v. BioVie Inc. et al., No. 2:24-cv-00361. On April 15, 2024, the court consolidated these two actions under the captionIn re BioVie Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 3:24-cv-00035 (the “Securities Class Action”), appointed the lead plaintiff, and approved selection of the lead counsel. On June 21, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that the defendants made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact relating to the Company’s business, operations, compliance, and prospects, including information related to the NM101 Phase 3 study and trial of bezisterim (NE3107) in mild to moderate probable AD, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The class action is on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities during the period from December 7, 2022 through November 28, 2023, and seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on August 21, 2024, and on March 27, 2025, the court denied that motion. The parties are now engaged in fact discovery. On February 13, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification and a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. Defendants opposed the motion for leave to amend. On June 5, 2026, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend, and the same day the plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Complaint. On June 15, 2026, the defendants filed a Notice of Non-Opposition and Reservation of Rights in response to the motion for class certification, and on June 18, 2026, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion and certified the class subject to the defendants’ reservation of rights. The defendants answered the Second Amended Complaint on June 22, 2026.
Three shareholder derivative lawsuits piggy-backing on the Securities Class Action were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, allegedly on behalf of the Company, by three putative stockholders: Andrew Hulm on December 30, 2024; William Settel on April 28, 2025 and Cline Wilkerson on September 11, 2025, (collectively the “Related Derivative Lawsuits”). Each Related Derivative Lawsuit names the same current and former officers and directors as defendants and alleges essentially the same claims: that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing or failing to prevent the securities violations alleged in the Securities Class Action, and related claims for unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, gross mismanagement, and abuse of control. On September 29, 2025, at the request of the parties, the court consolidated all three Related Derivative Lawsuits under the captionIn re BioVie Inc. Derivative Litigation, Case No. 3:24-cv-0602-CSD (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”). On January 27, 2026, at the request of the parties, the court stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action pending resolution of a summary judgment motion by defendants in the Securities Class Action.
The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

At June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company has recorded a full valuation against its net deferred tax assets of approximately $82.4 million and $74.9 million, respectively, since in the judgement of management, these assets are not more than likely to be realized. The increase in the valuation allowance during the year ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $7.4 million.
At June 30, 2026, the Company had a Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforward of approximately $243 million. NOL’s generated prior to 2018 have expiration dates ranging from 2032 to 2037. Utilization of the Company’s historical NOL are subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of multiple ownership changes through the Company’s capital raises.
The Company has no current tax expense due to its net losses and a full valuation allowance. The Company has not made payments or received refunds for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
The state and local income tax reconciling item is primarily driven by California state income taxes, which represented more than 50% of the total state and local income tax effect for the year ended June 30, 2026. The Company is incorporated in Nevada; however, Nevada does not impose a corporate income tax. Accordingly, the Company's state income tax provision primarily reflects apportionment of taxable income to California based on the Company's operational footprint.
Reconciliation of the differences between income tax benefit computed at the federal tax rates and the provision for income tax benefit for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted into law. Among other changes, the legislation permits immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. In connection with enactment, the Company remeasured its deferred tax balances and recorded a discrete tax benefit of approximately $3.1 million during the year ended June 30, 2026, primarily related to a reduction in deferred tax assets associated with capitalized domestic research and experimental expenditures. The effect of this remeasurement was offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance, and accordingly no net income tax expense or benefit was recognized.
| 12. | Segment Reporting |
The Company operates as one operating segment with a focus on its efforts to develop drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease. The Company's CEO, as the chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company based on the line items included within these financial statements and segment performance is evaluated based on net loss.
