The decrease in research and development costs during the six months ended April 30, 2024, from the six months ended April 30, 2023 was principally the result of the Company’s completion of its Phase 1 trials during July 2023, and there being no other significant ongoing clinical trial costs incurred since that time. The decrease in laboratory related costs was principally the result of the Company’s sale of the Basalt laboratory facility in August 2023 and as a result, there were no associated costs associated with operating that facility during the six months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2023. The decrease in professional fees was principally the result of reduced audit fees, tax preparation fees and legal fees during the six months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2023. The increase in stock-based compensation costs during the six months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2023 was principally the result of increased amortization of costs from shares and options issued to executives and advisors and options issued to employees and outside directors.
