Current report
General and administrative expenses include personnel costs and costs associated with being a public company such as directors and officers (“D&O”) insurance, audit and tax provider fees, legal fees, and exchange listing costs. Additionally, our general and administrative costs include expenses for our business development, investor relations and marketing efforts. We anticipate our general and administrative expenses increasing in the future to support our service offerings and clinical and pre-clinical research and development activities associated with strategic partnering and collaborations.
Current report
Our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased, compared to the same period ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increased licensing costs and the expansion of our target discovery and validation efforts.

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased, compared to the same period ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to increased personnel costs for employee hirings and fringe benefits.
Current report
Interest income earned on cash held in an overnight sweep account was approximately $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to income of approximately $65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our average cash balance in our interest-bearing bank accounts.
Current report
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents position is not sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for at least a year beyond the filing date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing and/or revenues to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations when they become due. Accordingly, we will seek additional capital to continue to execute our strategy as discussed above.
Current report
In April 2025, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement with BTIG, LLC, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock, from time to time in its sole discretion, at the market price and having an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares, and BTIG is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock. Accordingly, the Company will not receive any proceeds from such transaction until shares are actually sold by BTIG. Subject to the Company’s request to sell shares, BTIG will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell shares of common stock on the Company’s behalf in accordance with Company instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell, when needed, sufficient shares under the At-The-Market Sales Agreement to fund planned operations.

In July 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license from JHU-APL that provides additional intellectual property rights including patents, copyrights, and knowhow to be utilized under the Company’s bfLEAP™ analytical AI/ML platform. In consideration for the new license, the Company issued to JHU-APL 39,879 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the new License Agreement, JHU will be entitled to eight (8%) percent of net sales for the services provided by the Company to other parties and three (3%) percent for internally developed drug projects in which the JHU license was utilized. The new license also contains tiered sub licensing fees that start at fifty (50%) percent and reduce to twenty-five (25%) percent based on revenues. The Company and JHU-APL entered into Amendment number 1 of the July 2022 License Agreement whereby the Company gained access to certain improvements including additional patents and knowhow in exchange for a series of payments totaling $275,000. The first of these payments for $75,000 was paid in July 2023 and the remaining payments of $75,000, $75,000 and $50,000 are due in years 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. The amendment also reduced the 2023 minimum annual royalty payment to $60,000, all other financial terms remain the same. As a result of this Amendment, the minimum annual payments were $30,000 for 2022 and $60,000 for 2023, and the minimum annual payments will be $300,000 for 2024 and beyond, all of which are creditable by royalties. As of September 30, 2024, we have accrued $225,000 of the 2024 minimum annual royalty payments.
Current wording
In February 2018, the Company secured an original exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license from JHU-APL for the technology underlying our bfLEAP™ platform. The license covers three (3) issued patents, one (1) new provisional patent application, non-patent rights to proprietary libraries of algorithms and other trade secrets including modifications and improvements. We entered into a new license agreement with JHU-APL in July 2022 that provides the Company with new intellectual property and also encompasses most of the intellectual property from the February 2018 license. In consideration for the new license entered into in July 2022 with JHU-APL, the Company issued to JHU-APL 39,879 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the new license agreement, JHU-APL will be entitled to eight (8%) percent of net sales for the services provided by the Company to other parties and three (3%) percent for internally developed drug projects in which the JHU-APL license was utilized. The new license also contains tiered sub licensing fees that start at fifty (50%) percent and decline to twenty-five (25%) percent based on revenues. The Company and JHU-APL entered into Amendment Number 1 of the July 2022 license agreement pursuant to which the Company gained access to certain improvements including additional patents and know-how in exchange for a series of payments totaling $275,000. The first of these payments of $75,000 was paid in July 2023 and the remaining payments of $75,000, $75,000 and $50,000 are due in years 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. The amendment also reduced the 2023 minimum annual royalty payment to $60,000. All other financial terms remain the same. As a result of this amendment, the minimum annual payments were $30,000 for 2022 and $60,000 for 2023, and the minimum annual payments will be $300,000 for 2024 and beyond, all of which are creditable against royalties paid by us. As of March 31, 2025, all minimum annual royalty payments through 2024 have been paid, the Company has accrued $75,000 of the $300,000 minimum annual royalty for 2025, and the Company has accrued $45,000 of the $75,000 annual license fee due in June 2025.

The license covers three (3) issued patents, one (1) new provisional patent application, non-patent rights to proprietary libraries of algorithms and other trade secrets including modifications and improvements. Our objective is to utilize our AI/ML platform with a precision medicine approach toward drug development with biopharmaceutical collaborators, as well as for our own internal clinical development programs. We believe the bfLEAP™ platform is ideally suited for evaluating pre-clinical and clinical trial data generated in translational research and clinical trial settings that lead to faster, less expensive drug approvals.

Previous wording
Our aim is to improve the odds of success in each stage of developing medicine, ranging from early pre-clinical through late-stage clinical development. Our ultimate objective is to utilize bfLEAP™ to enable the success of ongoing clinical trials or rescue late-stage failed drugs (i.e., Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trial failures) for in-house development and divestiture; although, we also consider entering collaborations for earlier stage drugs.
Current wording
Our aim is to improve the odds of success in each stage of developing medicine, ranging from early pre-clinical through late-stage clinical development. Our ultimate objective is to utilize bfLEAP™ to enable the success of ongoing third-party clinical trials or rescue late-stage failed drugs (i.e., Phase II or Phase III clinical trial failures) for in-house development and divestiture. We will also consider collaborations for earlier stage drugs.
Previous wording
We have staffed our business using funds from our initial public offering and have entered into partnerships and relationships and recently completed our first commercial service contract with a leading rare disease non-profit organization for AI/ML analysis of late-stage clinical data. We have also acquired the rights to a series of preclinical and early clinical drug assets from universities, as well as a strategic collaboration with a world-renowned research institution to create a HSV1 viral therapeutic platform to engineer immunotherapies for a variety of diseases. We have signed exclusive worldwide License Agreements with JHU for a cancer drug that targets glioblastoma (brain cancer), pancreatic cancer, and others. We have also signed an exclusive worldwide license from George Washington University for another cancer drug that targets hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) and other liver diseases. In addition, we have signed three-year strategic data and commercialization agreements with the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (“LIBD”) whom we believe has a repository of the largest collection of postmortem brains in the world including molecular, clinical, and other data. The objective of this partnership is for the Company to analyze these rich data sets using its proprietary AI/ML tools and models and then go to market with the discoveries with the ultimate goal of securing revenue generating strategic partnership deals with biopharmaceutical companies. We intend to secure the rights to other proprietary data sets and repeat this strategy. Additionally, we intend to gain access to later-stage clinical assets through partnerships or the acquisition of rights to failed therapeutic candidates for drug rescue. In certain circumstances, we intend to conduct late-stage clinical trials in an effort to rescue therapeutic assets that previously failed. In these cases, there will be a requirement for drug supply and regulatory services to conduct clinical trials. The success of our clinical development programs will require finding partners to support the clinical development, adequate availability of raw materials and/or drug product for our R&D and clinical trials, and, in some cases, may also require establishment of third-party arrangements to obtain finished drug product that is manufactured appropriately under Good Manufacturing Practices, and packaged for clinical use or sale. Since we are a company focused on using our AI technology to advance medicines, any clinical development programs will also require, in all cases, partners and the establishment of third-party relationships for execution and completion of clinical trials.

The Company has had negative cash flows from operations and operated at a net loss since inception. In the first quarter of 2023, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”). In February 2024, we received net proceeds of approximately $5.7 million from an underwritten secondary public offering of common stock and warrants. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a cash balance of approximately $4.2 million. In October 2024, we received net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million from a registered direct offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants, and concurrent private placement of common stock warrants. In the absence of significant revenues in 2024 and 2025, the Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to fund planned operations into the fourth quarter of 2025.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing or revenues to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations when they become due.

Accordingly, we will require additional capital to continue to execute our strategy. We anticipate raising this additional capital through various avenues including sales of equity securities, debt transactions, licensing agreements and collaborative arrangements. Although management believes that such funding sources will be available, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will be consummated to provide sufficient capital when needed to allow us to continue our operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise sufficient funds in a timely manner, among other things, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all our research and product development programs and/or our capital expenditures or to enter into arrangements on unfavorable terms. We currently do not have commitments for future funding from any source.

The Company has a unique strategy designed to reduce risk and increase the frequency of cash flow. The first part of the strategy is to generate revenues through strategic relationships with biopharma companies. These relationships will be structured as a combination of fees and intellectual property based on the specific scope of the engagement. The objective of these engagements will be to uncover valuable insights to reduce the risk and/or increase the speed of the drug development process which can be achieved through manual or automated integration into the client’s workflow or analysis of discrete data sets.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Estimates are used in determining the expense liability of certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced.
Current wording
Research and development costs and expenses include development activities on our licensed drug candidates and our discovery efforts and collaborations. In addition to fees paid to external service providers, we are also allocating costs for internal personnel working on these activities as well as their efforts to develop our product and service offerings using bfLEAP™. We anticipate our research and development costs could become significant as we execute on our business plan and begin conducting preclinical research and development activities directed at securing development partners and filing an investigational new drug (IND) application for our licensed drug development programs described in this filing, as well as under strategic partnerships and for other drug development programs we may acquire. Research and development expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates will be used in determining the expense liability of certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced. We will monitor levels of performance under each significant contract for external services through communications with the service providers to reflect the actual amount expended.
