REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

CytoDyn, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CytoDyn, Inc. (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2024, and the related notes** **(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Unfulfilled Commitments with Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”)

Critical Audit Matter Description

As explained in Note 10,Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has been subject to allegations by Samsung asserting material breaches of the Master Services and Project Specific Agreements. The Company continues to be in ongoing discussions with Samsung and Samsung paused manufacturing all unfulfilled commitments not needed by the Company starting in January of 2022. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any accruals associated with the unfulfilled commitments as of May 31, 2023. In the event negotiations are unsuccessful, the Company may have to accrue a liability related to the unfulfilled commitments. The outcome of ongoing discussions between Samsung and the Company involves significant uncertainty, which requires extensive judgements about the likelihood of outcomes and potential financial effects. These judgments could have a material impact on the financial statements.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to address this critical audit matter included:

●External confirmation of accounts payable balance due to Samsung.
●Review of Samsung’s invoices for the year ended May 31, 2023, to ensure no invoices related to new manufacturing of inventory during the year ended May 31, 2023. The absence of new manufacturing substantiates the company’s claim that Samsung is in negotiations with the Company to modify the contract and is not adhering to original contract terms and manufacturing dates therein.
●Discussions with management and internal and external legal counsel.
●Evaluate management's assessments of the likelihood of outcomes, and analysis of potential financial impact.
●Review the Company’s application of ASC 450 Contingencies and ASC 330 Inventory to known factual situations as of May 31, 2023 and evaluate its conclusion that an accrual is not required.
●Evaluate relevant and material developments or changes that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the financial statements.
