NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2025

Note 1. Business Description

Imunon, Inc. (“Imunon” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing a portfolio of innovative treatments that harness the body’s natural mechanisms with the aim to generate safe, effective and durable responses across a broad array of human diseases, constituting a differentiating approach from conventional therapies. Imunon is developing its non-viral DNA technology across its modalities. The first modality, TheraPlas®, is developed for the coding of proteins and cytokines in the treatment of solid tumors where an immunological approach is deemed promising. The second modality, PlaCCine®, is developed for the coding of viral antigens that can elicit a strong immunological response. This technology may represent a promising platform for the development of vaccines in infectious diseases.

The Company’s lead clinical program, IMNN-001, is a DNA-based immunotherapy for the localized treatment of advanced ovarian cancer that has completed multiple clinical trials including one Phase II clinical trial (OVATION 2). IMNN-001 works by instructing the body to produce safe and durable levels of powerful cancer-fighting molecules, such as interleukin-12 and interferon gamma, at the tumor site. Additionally, the Company has completed dosing in a first-in-human study of its COVID-19 booster vaccine (IMNN-101). The Company will continue to leverage these modalities and to advance, either directly or through partnership, the technological frontier of plasmid DNA to better serve patients with difficult-to-treat conditions.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes to the Company’s accounting policies. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period(s) or for any full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Events and conditions arising subsequent to the most recent balance sheet date have been evaluated for their possible impact on the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Going Concern Uncertainty

Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses, principally from expenses associated with the Company’s research and development programs, clinical trials conducted in connection with the Company’s drug candidates, and applications and submissions to the FDA. The Company has not generated significant revenue and has incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $4.1 million and used $2.8 million to fund operations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has incurred approximately $411 million of cumulative net losses. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $2.9 million in cash and cash equivalents to fund its operations.

The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide resulting from the recent tariff announcement by the U.S. federal government, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the unrest in the Middle East. The Company continues to monitor its operating activities in light of these events, and it is possible that these events could result in a variety of risks to the business. The specific impact, if any, is not readily determinable as of the date of these consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has based its estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. The Company may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than it currently anticipates. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of the Company’s shares or debt and other sources. If the Company raises funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of existing stockholders may be diluted.

The actual amount of funds the Company will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. These factors include the progress of research activities; the number and scope of research programs; the progress of preclinical and clinical development activities; the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom the Company has entered into research and development agreements; the costs associated with additional clinical trials of drug candidates; the ability to maintain current research and development licensing arrangements and to establish new research and development and licensing arrangements; the ability to achieve milestones under licensing arrangements; the costs involved in prosecuting and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and the costs and timing of regulatory approvals.

A fundamental component of the ability to continue as a going concern is the Company’s ability to raise capital as required, as to which no assurances can be provided. To address the additional funding requirements of the Company, management has undertaken the following initiatives:

●it has assessed its current expenditures and will reduce spending where necessary;
●it will pursue additional capital funding in the public and private markets through equity sales and/or debt facilities;
●it will pursue possible partnerships and collaborations; and
●it will pursue potential out licensing for its drug candidates.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability to raise additional capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. There are no assurances that these future funding and operating efforts will be successful. If management is unsuccessful in these efforts, the Company’s current capital is not expected to be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Management’s plan includes private or public equity financings, collaborations, or other strategic transactions such as raising funds from outside investors via its ATM program and other potential funding sources. The Company may not be able to obtain funding on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s ability to raise additional funds will depend, among other factors, on financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are outside of its control, and it may be unable to raise financing when needed, or on terms favorable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital to fund its operations it may be required to evaluate alternatives. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, or do not apply to its operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, 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 the Company’s Annual Report om Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on the income tax disclosures within the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects changes to the Company’s income tax disclosure.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 will require more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented income statement captions such as “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this change will have on the Company’s disclosures.

Note 4. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss for the year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, both basic and diluted, during each period. The impact of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in periods where there is a net loss, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

The total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, stock option grants and equity awards were 7,137,111 and 1,197,390 shares for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, diluted loss per common share was the same as basic loss per common share as the other warrants, and equity awards that were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Company did not pay any dividends during the first three months of 2025 or 2024.

Note 5. Segment Performance Measures and Expenses

The Company operates inone segment for the research and development of our product candidates. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company based on consolidated financial information. Consequently, we view the entire organization as one reportable segment and the strategic purpose of all operating activities (including general & administrative expenses) is to support that one segment. As a pre-revenue research and development company, the CODM evaluates company-wide performance and allocates resources based on non-financial research and development milestones achieved, and to a lesser extent, financial measures of performance such as clinical development (research and development expenses) and general and administrative expenses incurred. Our CODM does not generally evaluate our performance using asset or historical cash flow information.

The table below provides a summary of the significant expense categories and consolidated net loss details provided to the CODM (in thousands):

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

On May 15, 2024, the Company filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2024 Registration Statement”) for the offer and sale of up to $75 million of its securities. The 2024 Registration Statement was declared effective on May 22, 2024. The 2024 Registration Statement is intended to provide the Company with flexibility to raise capital in the future for general corporate purposes. However, the Company’s ability to offer and sell its securities in a primary offering on the 2024 Registration Statement is limited by General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 (the “Baby Shelf Limitation”), which limits the amount that the Company can offer to up to one-third of its public float during any trailing 12-month period. The Company would no longer be subject to the Baby Shelf Limitation if its public float exceeds $75 million.

At the Market Offering Agreement

On May 15, 2024, the Company amended the At the Market Offering Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2022 (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) as sales agent. Pursuant to the terms of the amended ATM Agreement, the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through Wainwright, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,500,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any offering under the amended ATM Agreement for general corporate purposes, including research and development activities, capital expenditures and working capital.

On July 30, 2024, the Company notified Wainwright that it was suspending its use of and terminating the “at the market offering” sales agreement prospectus (the “ATM Prospectus”), related to the potential issuance from time to time of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement, by and between the Company and Wainwright. Notwithstanding the termination of the ATM Prospectus, the ATM Agreement remains in full force and effect.

On September 3, 2024, the Company filed a new prospectus supplement to the 2024 Registration Statement with the SEC for an aggregate offering price of up to $5,500,000 related to the potential issuance from time to time of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement with Wainwright as sales agent.

The Company sold 88,796 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement for net proceeds of $99,506 during 2024. The Company sold 120,047 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement for net proceeds of $105,693 during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

July 2024 Offering

On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into the July 2024 Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company issued, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $2.00 per share for gross proceeds of $10.0 million before the deduction of placement agent fees and offering expenses. In a concurrent private placement and also pursuant to the July 2024 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchasers the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

The Warrants became exercisable immediately after issuance for a term of five and one-half years following the date of issuance. The closing of the July 2024 Offering occurred on August 1, 2024.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has long-term compensation plans that permit the granting of equity-based awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock awards, and performance awards.

In 2018, stockholders approved the Imunon, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, as amended, permits the granting of 1,970,000 shares of Imunon common stock as equity awards in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock awards, performance awards, or in any combination of the foregoing.

As of March 31, 2025, there were a total of 1,975,073 shares of Imunon common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan, which were comprised of 1,751,551 shares of Imunon common stock subject to equity awards previously granted under the 2018 Plan and the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and 223,522 shares of Imunon common stock available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

As of March 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the grant of inducement stock options (the “Inducement Option Grants”) to purchase a total of 230,500 shares of Imunon common stock. Each Inducement Option Grant has a weighted exercise price of $0.98 per share. Each Inducement Option Grant vests over three years, with one-third vesting on the one-year anniversary of the employee’s first day of employment with the Company and one-third vesting on the second and third anniversaries thereafter, subject to the new employee’s continued service relationship with the Company on each such date. Each Inducement Option Grant has a ten-year term and is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable stock option agreement.

Total compensation cost related to stock options and restricted stock awards was approximately $0.2 million of expense for period ended March 31, 2025 and $31,000 reversal for period ended March 31, 2024. Of these amounts, approximately $49,000 for the period ended March 31, 2025 and $65,000 for the period ended March 31, 2024 were charged to research and development expenses and $0.2 million of expense for the period ended March 31, 2025 and $96,000 reversal of expense for the period ended March 31, 2024 were charged to general and administrative expenses.

A summary of stock option awards and restricted stock grants, inclusive of awards granted under the 2018 Stock Plan and Inducement Option Grants for the three-months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:

Stock Options · Restricted Stock Awards · Weighted Average
Options Outstanding · Weighted Average Exercise Price · Non-vested Restricted Stock Outstanding · Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value · Contractual Terms of Equity Awards (in years)
Equity awards outstanding at January 1, 20251,645,873$1.9539,700$0.99
Equity awards granted321,750$0.86-$-
Equity awards terminated(25,272)$1.49-$-
Equity awards outstanding at March 31, 20251,942,351$1.7839,700$0.998.7
Equity awards exercisable at March 31, 20251,095,121$2.308.3
Aggregate intrinsic value of equity awards exercisable at March 31, 2025$19,431

As of March 31, 2025, there was $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of threeto four years. The weighted average grant date fair values of the stock options granted were $0.81 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025.

The fair values of stock options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was originally developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have different characteristics from the Company’s stock options. The model is also sensitive to changes in assumptions, which can materially affect the fair value estimate. The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of options granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

For the Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Risk-free interest rate4.31 to 4.55%4.31%
Expected volatility110.74 to 115.63%111.82%
Expected life (in years)9.0 to 10.09.0 to 10.0
Expected dividend yield0.0%0.0%

Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate is derived from values assigned to U.S. Treasury bonds with terms that approximate the expected option lives in effect at the time of grant.

Note 9. Warrants

Following is a summary of all warrant activity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025:

Warrants · Number of Warrants Issued · Weighted Average Exercise Price
