EXOZYMES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

1. Organization and Description of Business

eXoZymes Inc. formerly known as Invizyne Technologies Inc. was formed in Nevada in 2019 and its wholly owned subsidiary eXoZymes (CA) Inc. formerly known as Invizyne Technologies Inc was formed in California in 2014, together (“eXoZymes”). eXoZymes was formed with the vision of taking nature’s building blocks to make molecules of interest, effectively simplifying nature. eXoZymes’ technology is a differentiated and unique synthetic biology platform which would enable the scalable exploration of large number of molecules and properties found in nature. eXoZymes was a majority owned technology development subsidiary of MDB Capital Holdings, LLC (“MDB”) until the November 2024 initial public offering, when the holdings by MDB were diluted to a current 48% minority interest as of March 31, 2025.

On June 1, 2022, the Company signed a joint venture with Neuractas Therapeutics, a preclinical company developing high impact therapeutics, to work with the Company on deuterated cannabinoid molecules, for which the Company has filed a provisional patent application. No business activities have occurred to date. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 323-10, Investments-Equity Methods and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323-10”).

On October 3, 2024, our board of directors approved atwo-for-one (2:1) stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the stock split; any fractional share resulting from the stock split was rounded up to the next whole share. As a result of the stock split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, restricted stock units and warrants issued by us and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the stock split, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, restricted stock units and warrants and a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans were decreased proportionately. All share and per share amounts of Common Stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Common Stock split.

Going Concern

These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of $1,856,421 and $1,008,458 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and used cash for operations of $(1,133,533) and provided $281,199 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Although the Company believes it has sufficient working capital for the near term, management believes that there remains substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to anticipated funding shortfalls and the Company’s pre-revenue status. The Company’s ability to meet its long-term liabilities and obligations depends on securing additional financial support, whether through continued shareholder funding, raising equity or debt financing, or ultimately achieving profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and wholly owned subsidiary. The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in the calculation of right-of-use asset and lease liabilities, accruals for potential liabilities.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” or “EGC” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such choice to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to opt out of the extended transition periods.

Concentration of Risk

The Department of Energy has contributed 97% and the NIH has contributed 3% of all grant reimbursements for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk on government grant funding, based on the nature of eXoZymes’ grant receivables.

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily generated revenues from its strategic alliances. The strategic alliances with strategic collaborators typically contain multiple elements, including research and other licenses, research and development services, obligations to develop and manufacture pre-commercial and commercial material, and options to obtain additional research and development services. Such arrangements provide for various types of payments to us, including upfront fees, and funding of research and development services. Such payments are often not commensurate with the timing of revenue recognition and therefore result in deferral of revenue recognition.

The Company analyzes the collaboration arrangements to assess whether they are within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (ASC 808) to determine whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the commercial success of such activities. To the extent the arrangement is within the scope of ASC 808, the Company assesses whether aspects of the arrangement between the Company and the collaboration partner are within the scope of other accounting literature. If the Company concludes that some or all aspects of the arrangement represent a transaction with a customer, the Company accounts for those aspects of the arrangement within the scope of ASC 606. If the Company concludes that some or all aspects of the arrangement are within the scope of ASC 808 and do not represent a transaction with a customer, the Company recognizes its allocation of the shared costs incurred with respect to the jointly conducted activities as a component of the related expense in the period incurred. Pursuant to ASC 606, a customer is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. ASC 606 requires significant judgment and estimates and results in changes to, but not limited to: (i) the determination of the transaction price, including estimates of variable consideration, (ii) the allocation of the transaction price, including the determination of estimated selling price, and (iii) the pattern of recognition, including the application of proportional performance as a measure of progress on service-related promises and application of point-in-time recognition for supply-related promises.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities or remaining maturities upon purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were $8,159,472 cash equivalents held by the Company as of March 31, 2025.

The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash balances with financial institutions with high credit ratings and in accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

The Company periodically reviews the financial condition of the financial institutions and assesses the credit risk of such investments. The Company may periodically have cash balances in financial institutions more than the FDIC insurance limits of $250,000. On March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $8,186,086 of cash and unrestricted cash in financial institutions in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company did not experience any credit risk losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s consolidated financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related party are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in the statement of operations when realized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Property and equipment consist of the following as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively:

Research Grants

eXoZymes receives grant reimbursements from the Federal government, which are offset against research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition to actual reimbursements, eXoZymes also receives indirect expense grants (which are not reimbursement-based) and fees (typically of minor significance). It is important to note that there may be instances where the grants received for indirect costs exceed the actual costs, resulting in a negative impact. For capitalized assets, grant reimbursements are recognized over the useful life of the assets. Any portion of the grant not yet recognized is recorded as deferred grant reimbursements and included as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

Grants that operate on a reimbursement basis are recognized on the accrual basis and are offsets to expenses to the extent of disbursements and commitments that are reimbursable for allowable expenses incurred as of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and respectively, expected to be received from funding sources in the subsequent year. Management considers such receivables on March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, to be fully collectable due to the historical experience with the Federal Government of the United States of America. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses on the grants receivable was recorded in the accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Summary of grants receivable activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, is presented below:

eXoZymes has received three grants provided by the National Institute of Health, the Department of Energy and Department of Defense through March 31, 2025. The first grant was awarded on October 1, 2023 and the latest of these grants was set to expire on May 14, 2026, however grants can be extended, or new phases can be granted, extending the expiration of the grant. None of the grants has commitments made by the parties, provisions for recapture, or any other contingencies, beyond complying with the terms of each research and development grant. Research grants received from organizations are subject to the contract agreement as to how eXoZymes conducts its research activities, and eXoZymes is required to comply with the agreement terms relating to those grants. Amounts received under research grants are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research project, to the extent that such amounts are expended in accordance with the approved grant project. eXoZymes is permitted to draw down the research grants after incurring the related expenses. Amounts received under research grants are offset against the related research and development costs in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, grants amounting to $571,822 and $674,158 were offset against the research and development costs. Grant drawdowns, which includes grants costs expensed, grants for equipment purchased, and grant fees, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, totaled $575,781 and $708,700.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of compensation costs, fees paid to consultants, and other expenses relating to the development of eXoZymes’s technology. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, research and development costs prior to offset of the grants amounted to $1,150,797, and $986,282, respectively, which includes grant costs expensed, grants fees, and research and development costs, net of the grant received.

Patent and Licensing Legal and Filing Fees and Costs

Due to the significant uncertainty associated with the successful development of one or more commercially viable products based on the research efforts and related patent applications, all patent and licensing legal and filing fees and costs related to the development and protection of its intellectual property are charged to operations as incurred.

Patent and licensing legal and filing fees and costs were $82,248 and $73,297 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Patent and licensing legal and filing fees and costs are included in general and administrative costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Related Party and Due to Affiliates Expenses

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an outstanding payable of $135,712 to MDB Capital Holdings, LLC. The payable is non interest bearing and will be paid in 2025.

Segment Reporting

We manage and operate the business as a single reportable operating segment**, w**ith the Company’s sole focus on the research and commercialization of exozyme biosolutions. Our business is led by our chief executive officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Company is required to apply the guidance in ASC 280 and identify significant segment expenses and other segment items for its single reportable segment. Because the CODM receives detailed financial reports at a lower level than is included on the Company’s consolidated income statement, the Company identifies which of those expenses qualify as significant segment expenses. The CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated net income as reported on its income statement to allocate resources and assess performance. In accordance with ASC 280, eXoZymes concludes that consolidated net income is the measure of segment profit or loss that is required to be reported because it is the measure determined in accordance with measurement principles most consistent with GAAP. We do not prepare discrete financial information with respect to separate products. Accordingly, we view our business as one reportable operating segment.

3. Equity

5. Earnings Per Share

The Company’s computation of earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to holders of the Common Stockholders divided by the weighted average of the common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is like basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., preferred shares, warrants and stock options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share was the same for all periods presented because warrants, RSU’s and options outstanding were anti-dilutive, for a total of 2,523,982 and 977,468 shares, respectively.

Basic and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculations as of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 because their effect was anti-dilutive:

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Claims

The Company may be subject to legal claims and actions from time to time as part of its business activities. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was not subject to any pending or threatened legal claims or actions.

External Risks Associated with the Company’s Business Activities

Inflation Risk. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its operations to date, other than its impact on the general economy.

Supply Chain Issues. The Company continues to monitor changes in tariffs and indirect trade restraints but does not believe they will have a significant impact on its business activities

Potential Recession. There are various indications that the United States economy may be entering a recessionary period. Also, there is possible economic instability due to the possibility of tariffs and other economic changes due to government policy of the United States and other countries. Although unclear at this time an economic recession would likely impact the general business environment and the capital markets, which could, in turn, affect the Company.

The Company is continuing to monitor these matters and will adjust its current business and financing plans as more information and guidance become available.

7. Employee Benefit Plans

eXoZymes sponsors an individual 401(k) defined contribution plan for the benefit of employees when eligible. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute a portion of their annual compensation, not to exceed annual limits for the employee as established by the Department of Treasury. eXoZymes makes matching contributions for participating employees up to a certain percentage of the employee contributions; matching contributions were funded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Benefits under this plan were available to all employees, and employees become fully vested in the employer’s contribution upon receipt. A total of $43,508 and $29,487 was contributed to the 401 (k) plan for the three-months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

eXoZymes also provides health and related benefit plans for eligible employees.

8. Exclusive License Agreement (EXoZymes)

On April 19, 2019, eXoZymes entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with The Regents of the University of California (“The Regents”) for patent rights and associated technology relating to the biosynthetic platform being developed by the Company. Certain individuals named as inventors of the patent rights are also the founding stockholders of eXoZymes. One of the founders of eXoZymes was the head of the laboratory which was used in the research and development of patents and associated technology subject to the agreement with The Regents.

Under the License Agreement, eXoZymes holds an exclusive license of the patent rights and a non-exclusive license for the associated technology to make, have made, use, have used, sell, have sold, offer for sale, and import licensed products in the field of use. Under the License Agreement, eXoZymes paid an initial license fee and is to pay an annual license fee and royalties on net sales, a minimum annual royalty that is credited against the royalties on net sales, and a percentage of any sublicensing income. The net income royalty commences after the first commercial sale of a licensed product. As of March 31, 2025, there were no accrued royalties recorded.

Under the License Agreement, eXoZymes is required to achieve certain development milestones. eXoZymes is obligated to make payments upon achievement of certain sales thresholds, as defined in the License Agreement. As of March 31, 2025 the development milestones have been met.

The following net sales milestone payments have not yet been incurred. The net sales milestones do not have a deadline and are listed below as of March 31, 2025.

The Regents have the right terminate the License Agreement for breaches of the License Agreement by eXoZymes

eXoZymes may terminate the License Agreement, in whole or in part as to a particular patent right, at any time by providing notice of termination to The Regents as defined in the License Agreement.

The payments made to the Regents in connection with our license agreement with the Regents, from 2019 to March 31, 2025, has aggregated $383,259. This includes payments for patent fees associated with the license and maintenance fees.

Under the License Agreement, the Company also issued 249,689 shares of Common Stock, then representing four percent of its common equity, as initial consideration.

eXoZymes accounts for the costs incurred in connection with the License Agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 730, Research and Development. The Company paid license fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of $3,263 and $1,250.

9. Leases

For operating leases, the Company records right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. The Company has two operating leases, withno variable lease costs, andno finance leases as of March 31, 2025.

On April 3, 2023, the Company executed a lease for new office space next to the existing space at eXoZymes in the Los Angeles, California metropolitan area. The lease with a term of 60 months began on July 1, 2023 and ends on June 30, 2028, without an option to extend. The initial base rent was $13,277 per month. The lease provides for annual increases. The base rent for the lease in the final year is $14,943 per month.

In April 2023, eXoZymes made changes to an existing lease agreement, which resulted in anextension of the lease term by an additional 21 months. The revised lease maintained the same escalation rate for lease payments as the previous arrangement. To account for this modification, the Company reevaluated the remaining lease term at the time of execution. As the Company was actively utilizing the premises, adjustments were made to reflect the revaluation of both the right-to-use asset and the corresponding lease liability in line with the updated lease term. This was originally entered into in August 2021, with a term of 60 months beginning on May 1, 2023 and ending on April 30, 2028, with an option to extend for 60 additional months. At the time the lease commenced, it was not probable the Company would exercise the one five-year option to extend the facility lease; therefore, this extension option is not included in the lease analysis. The initial base rent is $14,371 per month. The lease provides for annual increases. The base rent for the lease in the final year is $16,259 per month. Additionally, eXoZymes is responsible for annual operating cost increases of 2.5%, which are included in the rent.

On October 30, 2023, the Company executed an addendum to the current lease for additional office space in Monrovia, California, the expected occupancy of the additional space was May 1, 2023.

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. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate in its lease calculations when it is readily determinable. Since the Company’s leases do not provide implicit rates, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate for a fully collateralized loan with a similar term of the lease that is based on the information available at the inception of the lease.
