NOTES

TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR

THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

NOTE

1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (“Pasithea” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 12, 2020. The Company is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery research and development of innovative treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The Company’s primary operations focus on developing drugs that target the pathophysiology underlying such disorders rather than symptomatic treatments, with the goal of developing new pharmacological agents that display significant advantages over conventional therapies with respect to efficacy and tolerability.

On September 17, 2021, the Company sold 4,800,000 Units in an Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) at a price of $5.00 per Unit for a total of $24,000,000. The Company incurred offering costs of $3,445,200, consisting of $2,137,800 of underwriting fees and expenses and $1,307,400 of costs related to the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s secondary operations are focused on providing business support services to anti-depression clinics in the U.K. and in the United States. Its operations in the U.K. involve providing business support services to registered healthcare providers who assess patients and, if appropriate, administer intravenous infusions of ketamine. Its operations in the United States involve providing business support services to entities that furnish similar services to patients who personally pay for those services. Operations are expected to initially take place across the United States and the U.K. through partnerships with healthcare companies.

Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. and its subsidiaries, Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (U.K.), Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda, Pasithea Clinics Corp, and Alpha 5 Integrin, LLC (See Note 7- Acquisition). Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (U.K.) is a private limited Company, registered in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda is a private limited Company, registered in Portugal. Pasithea Clinics Corp. is incorporated in Delaware. Alpha 5 Integrin, LLC is Delaware limited liability company.

Basisof Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the totals presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations or cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future period.

EmergingGrowth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of 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 including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. 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 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 election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

NOTE

2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Principlesof Consolidation

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation,” (“ASC 810”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (U.K.), Pasithea Clinics Corp. (“Pasithea Clinics”) Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda (“Pasithea Portugal”), and Alpha 5 Integrin, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars.

Useof Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of fair value of the warrant liabilities. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expense, except for goodwill related to intellectual property & patents. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, payments to third parties for preclinical and non-clinical activities, costs to acquire drug product from contract development and manufacturing organizations and third-party contractors relating to chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) efforts, the fees paid for and to maintain the Company’s intellectual property, and research and development costs related to our discovery programs. Depending upon the timing of payments to the service providers, the Company recognizes prepaid expenses or accrued expenses related to these costs. These accrued or prepaid expenses are based on management’s estimates of the work performed under service agreements, milestones achieved and experience with similar contracts. The Company monitors each of these factors and adjusts estimates accordingly.

Cashand cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Propertyand Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had total fixed assets (property and equipment) of $374,182 and $21,503, respectively, with accumulated depreciation of $33,670, and $1,379, respectively. Depreciation expense was $16,670 and $32,471 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

6

OfferingCosts

Offering costs consist of professional fees, filing, regulatory and other costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. In September 2021, the Company recognized offering costs of $3,445,200, consisting of $2,137,800 of underwriting fees and expenses and $1,307,400 of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on the relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received.

WarrantLiability

The Company accounts for its Public and Representative Warrants (each, the “Public Warrants” and “Representative Warrants” and, collectively, the “IPO Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” under which the IPO Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the IPO Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the IPO Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the IPO Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Public and Representative Warrants was initially measured at the end of each reporting period, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the Public Warrants was measured using quoted market prices, and the fair value of the Representative Warrants was based on an estimate of the relative fair value to the Public Warrants, accounting for a small difference in the exercise price.

IncomeTaxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses. A valuation allowance was established against these deferred tax assets at their full amount, resulting in a zero balance of deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Concentrationof Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

FairValue of Financial Instruments

With the exception of liabilities related to the IPO Warrants, described in the table below, the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

7

FairValue 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:

Level<br> 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Fair value measurements at reporting date using:
Description Fair Value Quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs <br>(Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs <br><br>(Level 3)
Liabilities:
Public Warrant liabilities, September 30, 2022 $ 544,640 $ -
Representative Warrant liabilities, September 30, 2022 $ 36,480 $ 36,480
Liabilities:
Public Warrant liabilities, December 31, 2021 $ 1,361,600 $ 1,361,600
Representative Warrant liabilities, December 31, 2021 $ 91,200 $ 91,200

All values are in US Dollars.

The fair value of the liability associated with the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2022 was based on the quoted closing price on The Nasdaq Capital Market and is classified as Level 1. The fair value of the liability associated with the Representative Warrants as of September 30, 2022 was based on an estimate of the relative fair value to the Public Warrants, accounting for a small difference in the exercise price, and is classified as Level 3. The change of the Public Warrant liability from Level 3 to Level 1 was the only change between levels of the fair value hierarchy from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022.

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.

Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

The Company currently derives all its revenue from its operations providing business support services to registered healthcare providers who assess patients, and if appropriate, administer intravenous infusions of ketamine. Under the business support services agreements, the Company, among other things, markets the treatments to the extent permitted under law, arranges and pays for the fit-out of the consulting room, provides equipment necessary for the treatments, develops, operates and maintains a booking website for the treatments, makes bookings and takes payments, and employs or engages customer service advisers to liaise with clinical staff and pay certain staff costs. The price of the treatments are fixed amounts jointly established by the Company and the healthcare providers. The Company collects 100% of the payment in advance from the patients, who personally pay for the services. The Company retains 30% of revenues from ketamine infusion treatments, less certain clinical staff costs which result from the provision of the treatments. The Company has determined that it acts as an agent under the business support services agreements and recognizes the net revenues retained from ketamine infusion treatments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company also may arrange psychotherapy sessions with independent therapy professionals for patients. In such cases, the Company acts as a principal and recognizes the gross amount of revenue earned from such sessions, with the cost paid to the independent therapy professionals recognized in cost of services in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied when the services are rendered to the customer. There were no contract assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. All sales have fixed pricing and there are currently no variable components included in the Company’s revenue.

NetLoss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of share options, if dilutive. The following outstanding shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Nine Months Ended <br> September 30,
2022 2021
Stock options 1,000,000 -
Warrants 13,600,000 -
Restricted stock units 200,000 -

ForeignCurrency Translations

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the U.S. dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

Translationof Foreign Operations

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

assets<br> and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
equity<br> is translated at historical exchange rates; and
--- ---
income<br> and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
--- ---

9

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The relevant translation rates are as follows:

December 31,<br> 2021
Closing rate, British Pound () to US at period end 1.117 1.348

| Average rate, to US for the period ended | 1.257 | | 1.371 |

| Closing rate, Euro () to US at period end | 0.980 | | 1.132 |

| Average rate, to US for the period ended | 1.062 | | 1.143 |

All values are in US Dollars.

ComprehensiveIncome (Loss)

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no items impacting other comprehensive income (loss) except for the foreign currency translation adjustment.

Acquisitions,Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business beginning as of the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition; goodwill is recorded for any excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired. Significant judgment is required to determine the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. Accordingly, we typically obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair values are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain. The Company typically employs an income method to measure the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, economic barriers to entry and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives. Any intangible assets associated with acquired in-process research and development activities (“IPR&D”) are not amortized until a product is available for sale.

Impairmentof Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Long-lived and amortizable intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment or sooner should impairment indicators exist. Significant events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances may include a significant decrease in the market price of an asset, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition or a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of an asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. There were no charges related to impairments of long-lived assets for all periods presented.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company may elect to assess goodwill for impairment using a qualitative or a quantitative approach, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is greater than its carrying value. There were no charges related to goodwill impairment for all periods presented.

10

Leases

The Company’s has leases related to office space. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the time of the contract’s inception based on the presence of identified assets and the Company’s right to obtain substantially all the economic benefit from or to direct the use of such assets. When the Company determines a lease exists, it records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the remaining future lease payments the Company is obligated for under the terms of the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized concurrent with the recognition of the ROU asset and represent the present value of lease payments to be made under the lease. These ROU assets and liabilities are adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. As the discount rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of the Company’s leases, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. If the Company’s lease terms include an option to extend the lease for a set period, the Company evaluates the renewal option and should it be reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option, adjust the ROU asset and liability accordingly.

RecentAccounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2022-03”). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The provisions in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated balance sheets, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3 – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, on September 17, 2021, the Company sold 4,800,000 Units at a price of $5.00 per Unit for a total of $24,000,000. The Company incurred offering costs of $3,445,200, consisting of $2,137,800 of underwriting fees and expenses and $1,307,400 of costs related to the Initial Public Offering.

Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one Public Warrant. Each redeemable Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $6.25 per share, will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from issuance.

The Company classifies each Public Warrant as a liability at its fair value and the Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the Black-Scholes model.

4 – LEASES


MedicalOffice Lease – West Hollywood, California

In March 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to lease a medical office in West Hollywood, California. The lease commenced on April 1, 2022. The lease has a 60-month term, and the Company has an option to extend the term for one 5-year renewal period at the prevailing market rate that the landlord is then obtaining from tenants for comparable space in the building. The lease has a base monthly rent of $8,336 per month for the first 12 months, with the base monthly rent increasing by 4% on the first anniversary of the lease commencement date and every 12 months thereafter. In addition to the base monthly rent, commencing on the first anniversary of the lease commencement date, the Company will pay its share of certain direct operating and tax expenses incurred by the landlord in maintaining the building.

This lease was accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, which resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset (“ROU asset”) and liability of $431,000 at inception. The ROU asset is recorded as a component of non-current assets and the liability a component of current and non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company discounted the future lease payments of this lease using the prevailing collateralized lending rate which would be extended to the Company based on its credit profile relative to the period of inception, and the duration of the lease from inception. The interest rate used in calculating the fair value listed above was 7.8%

LaboratoryLease – South San Francisco, California

In August 2022, the Company, as a lessee, entered into an amended sublease agreement to sublease laboratory and office space in South San Francisco, California. The lease commenced on August 15, 2022. The term of this sublease is for a period of thirty-nine and one-fourth (39.25) months commencing on the effective date, until May 15,2024. The lease has a gross monthly rent of $15,700 per month to December 31, 2022. Starting January 1, 2023, the monthly rent will increase by 3% annually, to $16,171 per month in 2023, and $16,656 in 2024.

11

This lease was accounted for as an operating lease under ASC 842, Leases, which resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset (“ROU asset”) and liability of $568,972 at inception. The ROU asset is recorded as a component of non-current assets and the liability a component of current and non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company discounted the future lease payments of this lease using the prevailing collateralized lending rate which would be extended to the Company based on its credit profile relative to the period of inception, and the duration of the lease from inception. The interest rate used in calculating the fair value listed above was 7.8%

5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 500,000,000 shares. The authorized capital stock is divided into: (i) 495,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Effective April 8, 2021, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were paid in cash. The reverse stock split did not otherwise affect any of the rights currently accruing to holders of our Common Stock. All share information presented in these financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

During 2021, the Company entered into various subscription agreements in connection with a private placement seeking to raise up to $1 million through the sale of 625,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $1.60 per share, with a closing date for accepted subscriptions of January 31, 2021. The Company issued a total of 395,625 shares of Common Stock for aggregate proceeds received of approximately $633,000 related to such private placement.

November2021 Private Placement

On November 24, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “November 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors to issue 8,680,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) and warrants to purchase up to 8,680,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Warrants”) in a private placement (the “November 2021 Private Placement”). The combined purchase price for one PIPE Share and one PIPE Warrant was $3.50. The PIPE Warrants are immediately exercisable, expire five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $3.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the PIPE Warrants.

The investors may exercise the PIPE Warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of Common Stock underlying the PIPE Warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. The investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to exercise the PIPE Warrants such that the number of shares of Common Stock held by the investors and any of their affiliates after such exercise does not exceed either 4.99% or 9.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, at the investor’s election.

In connection with the November 2021 Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “November 2021 Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors. Pursuant to the November 2021 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for resale the shares and the warrant shares and to have such registration statement declared effective within 60 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement, or 90 days of the date of the November 2021 Purchase Agreement in the event the registration statement is subject to a “full review” by the SEC. The Company is obligated to pay certain cash liquidated damages to the investor if it fails to file the resale registration statement when required, fail to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or if it fails to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on December 16, 2021.

Additionally, the Company granted EF Hutton a right of first refusal following the closing of the November 2021 Private Placement, whereby EF Hutton shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) until November 29, 2022, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at EF Hutton’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financing.

On November 29, 2021, the Company consummated the November 2021 Private Placement, pursuant to which it issued 8,680,000 PIPE Shares and PIPE Warrants to purchase up to 8,680,000 shares of Common Stock to institutional investors. The offering price per PIPE Share and accompanying PIPE Warrant was $3.50, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $30,380,000 and net proceeds to the Company, net of underwriter discounts and fees, or approximately $27 million. As of September 30, 2022, no PIPE Warrants have been exercised.

12

A total of 8,680,000 PIPE Warrants remain outstanding as of September 30, 2022. No liability accounting or valuation is deemed necessary for these warrants.

StockOptions

Stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:

Weighted-<br> average
Number of Exercise<br> Price per
Options Share
Outstanding, January 1, 2022 600,000 $ 3.81
Granted 400,000 1.00
Expired - -
Exercised - -
Outstanding, September 30, 2022 1,000,000 $ 2.68
Exercisable, September 30, 2022 250,000 $ 5.00

These options had a weighted average remaining life of 9.22 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $0 as of September 30, 2022. The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.03 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022 remaining unamortized stock option compensation expense was $0.4 million.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value their employee stock options. The weighted average grant date fair value for those options granted during 2022 was $0.45. The weighted average of assumptions used to calculate these values was as follows: volatility 40.4%, risk-free rate 3.2%, and holding period 6.5 years.

RestrictedStock Units

Under the terms of Dr. Marques’ 2021 Employment Agreement, Dr. Marques was granted 200,000 RSUs on December 20, 2021 with a grant date fair value of $1.44 per share. The Company has no other RSU awards outstanding. The Company recognized $24,000 and $72,000 of stock-based compensation expense for RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and had unamortized RSU compensation remaining of $216,000 as of September 30, 2022. There were no RSUs issued in 2021.

RestrictedStock

The Company recognized $0.02 million of stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the three-month period ending September 30, 2022, the Company discovered shares issued for services were incorrectly accounted for during the three-month period ending June 30, 2022. The error has been retrospectively corrected by reducing common shares outstanding by 150,000 shares and adjusting additional-paid-in capital and compensation expenses by $151,500.

Warrants

On June 21, 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to certain sellers in connection with the acquisition of Alpha-5 Integrin, LLC, (“Alpha 5”). These warrants have an exercise price of $1.88 per share and are exercisable for five years. At the time of the transaction these warrants had a fair value of $0.35, for a total value of $0.4 million which was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The $0.35 value per warrant was based on a Black- Scholes model valuation. The assumption used in this calculation were as follows: volatility 55.7%; duration five years; and a risk-free rate of 3.38%.

This amount was included as part of the consideration paid for the Alpha 5 acquisition and included as part of the purchase price allocation accordingly.

NOTE

6 – WARRANT LIABILITIES

The Company evaluated the IPO Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the IPO Warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the IPO Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the IPO Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the IPO Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. Pursuant to such evaluation, the Company further evaluated the IPO Warrants under ASC 815-40*, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity*, and concluded that the IPO Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity.

During November 2021, 1,120,000 Public Warrants were exercised at a price of $6.25 per share for total proceeds of $7,000,000. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 3,680,000 Public Warrants and 240,000 Representative Warrants remain outstanding.

13

As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the Public Warrants was approximately $0.148 per Public Warrant based on the closing price of the warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The fair value of the Representative Warrants was approximately $0.152 per Representative Warrant which was based on the relative fair value to the Public Warrants.

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Public Warrants was approximately $0.37 per Public Warrant which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $6.25, dividend yield of 0%, term of 5 years, volatility of 61.1%, and risk-free rate of 1.22%. The fair value of the Representative Warrants was approximately $0.38 per Representative Warrant which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $6.00, dividend yield of 0%, term of 5 years, volatility of 61.1%, and risk-free rate of 1.22%.

NOTE

7– BUSINESS COMBINATION


On June 21, 2022, the Company entered into a membership purchase agreement (the “Alpha 5 Agreement”) with Alpha 5 to purchase 100% of Alpha 5’s outstanding membership interests. One of the sellers of Alpha 5, Lawrence Steinman, is the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of the Company, and as such is considered a related party to the Company. Alpha 5 was a preclinical-stage company developing a monoclonal antibody (mAbs) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and other neuroinflammatory disorders, such as Multiple Sclerosis. Alpha 5 Integrin is based in Charlottesville, Virginia. In connection with the transaction, the Company issued to the Alpha 5 sellers 3,260,870 shares of Common Stock, which had a market value of $1.01 on the date of the transaction, and warrants to acquire 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.88 per share, for a period of five years from the acquisition date, the aggregate fair value of which was $0.4 million at the date of acquisition.

In addition, the Alpha 5 Agreement allows for an earnout to be paid as part of the consideration due to the sellers. As any future sales are predicated upon FDA approval, no amounts will be due the sellers in the absence of that approval. Should FDA approval be obtained the amount of the earnout payment is dependent on the attainment of certain financial targets. The terms of the earnout contain three performance target thresholds that trigger three different payout amounts depending on which of the three targets is achieved. Sales generated after the drug is no longer subject to any patent protection or regulatory exclusivity are excluded from the earnout calculation The earnout is deemed part of the consideration paid for the acquisition, in the form of contingent consideration. However, as of September 30, 2022, this amount has not yet been determined.

The Alpha 5 acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The preliminary fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date were:

Cash $ 77,060
Prepaid assets 49,380
Fixed assets 19,551
Goodwill 3,833,453
Total assets acquired 3,979,444
Accounts payable & accrued expenses 335,243
Total liabilities assumed 335,243
Consideration $ 3,644,201

The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company will utilize recognized valuation techniques as part of its final valuation of the Alpha 5 acquisition. The above purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change as the Company may further refine the determination of certain assets during the measurement period of one year.

The goodwill recognized is largely attributable to the potential leveraging of Alpha 5’s scientific expertise in the integrin space. The Company believes the acquisition of Alpha 5 will help in its efforts to move the treatment forward and increase its potential to have a positive impact on the treatment of ALS. This goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Expenses incurred in relation to this acquisition totalled to $311,065.

Item 2. Management’s

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


You should read the following discussion andanalysis of financial condition and operating results together with our financial statements and the related notes and other financialinformation included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and relatednotes as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. This discussion contains forward-looking statementsthat involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth in the section of this report captioned “RiskFactors” and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as well as the risk factors set forth in the section titled “RiskFactors” included in our annual report on Form 10-K, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-lookingstatements. For convenience of presentation some of the numbers have been rounded in the text below.

Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. and its subsidiaries, Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (UK), Pasithea Clinics Inc., and Alpha 5 Integrin, LLC. Pasithea Therapeutics Limited (UK) is a private limited Company, registered in the United Kingdom (UK). Pasithea Clinics Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, Pasithea Therapeutics Portugal, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda, a private limited Company, registered in Portugal, and Alpha-5 integrin, LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. We have made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements, and although there is currently no major impact, there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Company Summary

We are a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, research and development of innovative treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. We are focused on developing our lead therapeutic candidate, PAS-004 (CIP-137401), a potential best-in-class macrocyclic mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK) inhibitor for use in a range of CNS-related indications, including neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan syndrome that we acquired from AlloMek Therapeutics, LLC (“AlloMek”) in October 2022. PAS-004 is an IND-ready asset and we are preparing to initiate cGMP manufacturing to support an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. We are also focused on the development of our high potential discovery programs aimed at developing drug candidates based on novel targets, including PAS-003, a monoclonal antibody targeting a5b1 integrin for the treatment of ALS, PAS-002, a DNA vaccine targeting GlialCAM for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis, and PAS-001, a small molecule targeting the compliment component 4 (C4) gene for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Our secondary operations are focused on providing business support services to anti-depression clinics. Our operations in the U.K. involve providing business support services to registered healthcare providers who assess patients, and if appropriate, administer intravenous infusions of ketamine, and our operations in the United States involve providing business support services to entities that furnish similar services to patients who personally pay for those services. Operations initially take place across the United States and the U.K. through partnerships with healthcare companies, including Zen Healthcare and The IV Doc. Our operations are limited to providing business support services to healthcare companies. In the United States, certain of these business support services will be subcontracted to through a Business Support Services subcontract. We do not provide professional medical services, establish or own anti-depression clinics, provide psychiatric assessments, or be responsible for the administration of intravenous infusions of ketamine in the United States. Furthermore, we do not obtain or administer ketamine, nor do we maintain any license or registration to own, maintain or dispense controlled substances in the U.K. or in the United States. We provide business support services to properly authorized companies that provide clinical services of the type described above to self-pay patients, and we subcontract certain of these business support services.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022and 2021

Our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended <br> September 30,
2022 2021
Revenues $ 218,608 $ -
Cost of services 86,465 -
Selling, general and administrative 3,223,955 1,273,600
Research and development 1,159,001 -
Loss from operations (4,250,813 ) (1,273,600 )
Other income (expense), net (335,317 ) (252,508 )
Loss before income taxes $ (4,586,130 ) $ (1,526,108 )
Nine Months Ended<br> September 30,
--- --- --- --- --- --- ---
2022 2021
Revenues $ 245,847 $ -
Cost of services 114,503 -
Selling, general and administrative 8,587,866 2,551,156
Research and development 1,278,922 -
Loss from operations (9,735,444 ) (2,551,156 )
Other income (expense), net 916,680 (252,508 )
Loss before income taxes $ (8,818,764 ) $ (2,803,664 )

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 relate to our operations providing business support services to registered healthcare providers who assess patients, and if appropriate, administering intravenous infusions of ketamine in the U.K. and the U.S. The increase in our loss before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 is mainly attributable to increased selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of further expansion of operations, non-recurring expenses in connection with the acquisition of Alpha 5 and AlloMek, ongoing legal and proxy expenses related to the dissident shareholder campaign, and research and development expenses related to the development of PAS-001, PAS-002 and PAS-003. These losses were partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of our warrant liabilities of $0.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2022.


Working Capital

As of
September 30,<br> 2022 December 31,<br> 2021
Current assets $ 44,469,392 $ 53,300,457
Current liabilities 1,513,982 447,280
Working capital $ 42,955,410 $ 52,853,177

Working capital decreased by $10.0 million between December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 due primarily to cash used to fund our loss from operations for the period ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Nine Months<br> Ended<br> September 30,<br> 2022 Nine Months <br> Ended<br> September 30,<br> 2021
Net loss $ (8,818,764 ) $ (2,803,664 )
Net cash (used in) operating activities (10,143,230 ) (1,429,725 )
Net cash (used in) investing activities (305,546 ) (8,570 )
Net cash provided by financing activities - 21,763,726
Effect of foreign currency translation (119,697 ) (3,762 )
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ (10,568,473 ) $ 20,321,669

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to cash used to fund our operations, research and development, and make equipment purchases during the period.

Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook

As of September 30, 2022, we had $42,398,233 in our operating bank accounts and working capital of $42,955,410. Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of our Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through proceeds from the issuance of shares of Common Stock in private placements. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the November 2021 Private Placement, our liquidity was and will continue to be satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the November 2021 Private Placement. Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital to meet our liquidity needs through twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Contractual Obligations

See Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a summary of our contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies, which include (1) revenue recognition, (2) stock-based compensation and (3) fair value measurements, are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that the following critical accounting estimates are particularly subject to management’s judgment and could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations:

Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for valuation of stock option awards, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term and expected dividends.
Valuation of the liability for Warrants, which requires that we make certain assumptions involving assumptions similar to those described above, as well as to changes in relative fair value.
--- ---
Assumptions used in the valuing of our intangible assets related to our acquisition, and those used in the calculation of the potential earnout.

For additional information on critical accounting policies and estimates, see Note 2 to the Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards,” in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

New accounting standards

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company has established a Disclosure Controls Committee that assists the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), Rule 13a-15(e), are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp., et al., C.A. No. 2022-0980-NAC. The action seeks, among other things, a judgment declaring that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with two acquisitions made by the Company in 2022, as well as temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining the Company from counting the shares issued in connection with those two acquisitions at an upcoming special meeting and the Company’s next annual meeting with respect to the election of directors.

Exhibit 10.1

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of October 11, 2022, made between Pasithea Therapeutics Corp., (the “Company”) and Daniel Schneiderman (the “Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).


Whereas, the Company desires for Executive to provide services to the Company, and wishes to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits in return for such employment services; and


Whereas, Executive wishes to be employed by the Company and to provide personal services to the Company in return for certain compensation and benefits;


Now,Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

  1. Employment by the Company.

1.1 Position. Executive shall serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Executive’s employment with the Company shall begin October 11, 2022 (the “StartDate”). During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will devote Executive’s best efforts and substantially all of Executive’s business time and attention to the business of the Company, except for approved vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacities permitted by the Company’s general employment policies. Executive may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities and serve as a board member on board of directors of publicly traded companies, in each case, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.


1.2 Dutiesand Location. Executive shall perform such duties consistent with his title. Executive shall report to the board of directors. Executive’s initial primary office location shall be the Executive’s home office located in New York, NY. The Company reserves the right to reasonably require Executive to perform Executive’s duties at places other than Executive’s primary office location from time to time, and to require reasonable business travel.


1.3 Policiesand Procedures. The employment relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the general employment policies and practices of the Company, except that when the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or practices, this Agreement shall control.

  1. Compensation.

2.1 Salary. For services to be rendered hereunder, Executive shall receive a base salary at the rate of $330,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings and payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule. Executive’s base salary may be reviewed and changed by the Company on notice to the Executive.


2.2 Sign-onBonus. Executive will be paid a sign-on bonus of $30,000 (the “Sign-onBonus”) payable within fifteen (15) days of the Start Date.


2.3 AnnualBonus. Executive will be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus of up to thirty-five percent (35%) of Executive’s Base Salary actually received in any such year (the “Annual Bonus”), which will be based on a calendar year basis, unless otherwise determined by the Company (the “Bonus Period”). Whether Executive receives an Annual Bonus for any Bonus Period, and the amount of any such Annual Bonus, will be determined by the Company’s compensation committee thereof in its sole discretion based upon the Company’s and Executive’s achievement of objectives and milestones to be determined on an annual basis by the Board. Executive must remain an active employee in good standing through the end of any given calendar year, and be an active employee in good standing at the time the Annual Bonus is paid in order to earn an Annual Bonus for the prior Bonus Period. The Annual Bonus will be paid prior to March 15 of the year following the Bonus Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive will not be eligible for, and will not earn, any Annual Bonus if Executive’s employment terminates for any reason before the end of the Bonus Period or before the Annual Bonus is to be paid. For the sake of clarity, any bonus paid for any year shall not create any entitlement to a bonus in a future year.

1
  1. Company Benefits. Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit programs for which Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions of the benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to its employees.

In addition, the Company provides an annual vacation entitlement of 21 days, calculated on a monthly basis. In addition to this annual vacation accrual, Company grants 7 days of sick leave and standard paid holidays as announced each year. Vacation days and sick leave are governed by the Company’s policies which may change from time to time.

a. Medical Insurance Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay for and make available medical and dental insurance coverage for Executive and his immediate family. Such benefits may be changed at the Company’s discretion from time to time provided that Executive shall be eligible for whatever medical and dental insurance is offered by the Company during the Employment Term.


b. Expense Reimbursement and Other Benefits. The Company promptly shall pay, or reimburse the Executive for, all ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties hereunder including, but not limited to, mobile phone, business class air travel, expenses and dues associated with Executive’s involvement with professional, industry, community, civic and charitable organizations, provided that the Executive properly accounts for all such expenses in accordance with Company policy.

As additional compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, the Company shall grant the Executive incentive stock options (the “Options”) issuable under its 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) at a strike price per share equal to the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Options are issued. The Options shall vest in accordance with the terms set forth in the stock option grant agreement executed between the Company and the Executive (the “Option Agreement”), subject to Executive’s continuing employment with the Company. The Options shall be subject to the then-current terms and conditions of the Amended Plan and Option Agreement. No right to any shares of Common Stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant of the Options confer any right to continue vesting or employment.

    2

  2. Termination of Employment; Severance.


5.1 At-WillEmployment. Executive’s employment relationship is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. Executive shall, however, provide no less than sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of any termination (the “Notice Period”). During the Notice Period, Executive shall remain an employee of the Company, and shall continue to receive base salary, but no other compensation. The Company may elect to have Executive not report to work for all or any portion of such Notice Period. The Company shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to accelerate Executive’s termination date to any date subsequent to receiving written notice from Executive, and thus conclude the Notice Period.


5.2 TerminationWithout Cause.


a.
The Company may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined below).


b. In the event that the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, the Company shall pay Executive, as severance, the equivalent of six (6) months of Executive’s Base Salary in effect as of the date of Executive’s employment termination, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings (the “Severance”). The Severance will be paid as a continuation on the Company’s regular payroll, beginning no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the sixtieth (60th) day after Executive’s Separation from Service, provided the Separation Agreement (as discussed in Paragraph 6) has become effective. Additionally, in the event that the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, the vesting of all outstanding stock options held by Executive shall be accelerated and fully vested effective as of the date of Executive’s employment termination.


c. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination will mean: (a) commission of any felony or crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude (whether or not a felony); (b) any action by Executive involving fraud, breach of the duty of loyalty, malfeasance, willful misconduct, or negligence, (ii) the failure or refusal by Executive u to perform any material duties hereunder or to follow any lawful and reasonable direction of the Company; (c) intentional damage to any property of the Company; (d) chronic neglect or absenteeism in the performance of Executive’s duties; (e) willful misconduct, or other material violation of Company policy or code of conduct that causes an adverse effect upon the Company; (f) breach of any written agreement with the Company (including this Employment Agreement and Exhibit A); or (g) any action that in the reasonable belief of the Company shall or potentially shall subject the Company to negative adverse publicity or effects.


5.3 Terminationfor Any Other Reason.


a. Upon a termination for any reason other than as provided in Section 5.2(a) without Cause, then upon Executive’s termination date, then all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and Executive will not be entitled to any Severance Benefits.


3

b.
The Option shall be treated as expressly provided in the Plan and the Option Agreement.


c. In the event of termination for any reason, Executive shall resign from all positions and terminate any relationships as an employee, advisor, officer or director with the Company and any of its affiliates, each effective on the date of termination.

  1. Conditions to Receipt of Severance Benefits. In order to receive any Severance Benefits, the termination of Executive’s employment must constitute a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), and Executive must be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below). Further, the receipt of the Severance Benefits will be conditioned on Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Separation Agreement”). No Severance Benefits will be paid or provided until and unless the Separation Agreement becomes effective.

  2. Representations. Executive represents and warrants that the execution of this Employment Agreement, Executive’s employment by the Company, and the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder will not violate or be a breach of any agreement with a former employer, client or any other person or entity, nor does Executive know of any other reason why he would not be able to perform his duties as set forth herein. Further, Executive agree to indemnify the Company for, and hold the Company harmless from, and against, all claims, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, by any such third party that such third party may now have or may hereafter come to have against the Company based upon or arising out of any noncompetition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement between Executive and such third party which was in existence as of the date of this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to rescind this offer immediately and, if applicable, terminate Executive’s employment, without any further obligation to Executive if before or during Executive’s employment the Company learns that Executive provided false information or made any misrepresentations in connection with Executive’s application for employment with the Company.

  3. Section 409A. It is intended that all of the Severance Benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions, and to the extent not so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon Separation from Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company, (ii) the date of Executive’s death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred.

  4. Proprietary Information Obligations. As a condition of employment, Executive shall execute and abide by the Company’s standard form of Employee Nondisclosure, Confidential Information, and Non-solicitation Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). In Executive’s work for the Company, Executive will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality. Rather, Executive will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. Executive agrees not to bring onto Company premises any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former employer or other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality.

  5. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. The interpretation and application of this Employment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws, other than laws which violate a fundamental public policy of the state of employ, in which case such state’s laws shall govern with regard to such policies. Except for claims under Exhibit A requesting injunctive relief, any dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement (including without limitation its subject matter, interpretation, or formation) or to your employment or relationship with the Company shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in New York, New York, before three (3) arbitrators selected by the American Arbitration Association, conducted in accordance with the then-prevailing Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association. A copy of these rules can be accessed through the American Arbitration Association’s website (www.adr.org). The prevailing party shall be entitled to the payment of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. The arbitrators’ decision will be final and binding in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators will not have the right to modify or change any of the terms of this Employment Agreement. The arbitrators, and not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Employment Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The parties agree that the arbitrators may provide all appropriate remedies at law and equity and will have the power to summarily adjudicate claims and/or enter summary judgment in appropriate cases. In any arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to this paragraph, the parties shall have the right to discovery, to call witnesses, and to cross-examine the other party’s witnesses. The arbitrator shall render a final decision in writing, setting forth the reasons for the arbitration award. Both parties are bound by this agreement to arbitrate, but it does not include disputes, controversies or differences which may not by law be arbitrated. The parties agree that the arbitration proceedings described in this Section are to be treated as confidential, and that the parties will act to protect the confidentiality of the documents, facts, and proceedings related to the arbitration. The parties waive their right to have any such dispute, claim or controversy decided by a judge or jury in a court. The parties also agree that each may bring claims against the other only in their individual capacities, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or collective proceeding. The parties also agree that each may not bring claims against the other in any purported representative action, except to the extent this statement is unenforceable under the law.

1. Consideration For Agreement.

The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the execution of this Agreement is a condition precedent to his or her employment and/or continued employment with the Company.


2. Restrictive Covenants: Clients.

Consequently, the Employee covenants and agrees that he or she will not, for a period of six (6) months following the end of his or her employment with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly: (i) initiate contact with, or respond to inquiries from, customers the Company for the purpose of providing products or services of the type provided by the Employee while employed by the Company; (ii) encourage investors, clients or prospective investors or clients of the Company to terminate, cancel, not renew, or not place business with the Company, or to place business with another company which is similar to the business of the Company; or (iii) perform or supervise the performance of services or provision of products of the type sold or provided by the Employee while he or she was employed by the Company on behalf of any customers or prospective customers of the Company.

The Employee acknowledges and agrees that solely as a result of employment with the Company, and in light of the broad responsibilities of such employment which include working with other employees of the Company, the Employee has and will come into contact with and acquire Confidential Information and trade secrets regarding the Company’s other employees and its principals. Accordingly, the Employee covenants and agrees that both during his or her employment with the Company and during the Restricted Period, the Employee will not, either on the Employee’s own account or on behalf of any person, company, corporation, or other entity, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, hire, encourage, or assist others to solicit or to hire any individual who worked for the Company during the last two (2) years of Employee’s employment with the Company; or (b) encourage any such individuals to terminate their employment or other working relationship with the Company, or to breach their obligations to the Company.


4. Restrictive Covenants: Confidentiality And Non-Disparagement.

The Employee agrees that he or she will not, during his or her employment with the Company or at any time after such employment ends for any reason (whether voluntary or involuntary), use for his or her own or another’s purposes, or disclose to any other person or entity (other than in the proper course of employment with the Company) any Confidential Information. This Section 4(a) shall not apply to any part of such Confidential Information that comes into the public domain otherwise than by reason of an unauthorized disclosure, or that is disclosed to the Employee on a non-confidential basis by a third party who is not bound by a duty of confidentiality. “Confidential Information” shall be given its broadest possible interpretation and shall mean any and all information of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents (collectively, “Company Entities”), including without limitation: (i) financial and business information relating to any Company Entity, such as information with respect to costs, fees, profits, revenues, markets, mailing/client lists, strategies and plans for future business, new business, product or other development, potential acquisitions or divestitures and new marketing ideas; (ii) product and technical information relating to any Company Entity, such as software, software codes, computer models and research and development projects; (iii) customer or investor information, such as the identity of any Company Entity’s clients or investors, the names of representatives of Company Entity customer or investors responsible for entering into contracts with a Company Entity, the amounts paid by such investors or customers to any Company Entity, specific customer or investor needs and requirements, specific customer or investor risk characteristics, and specific customer or investor preferences; (iv) personnel information, such as the identity and number of any Company Entity’s other employees and officers, their salaries, bonuses, benefits, skills, qualifications, and abilities; (v) any and all information in whatever form relating to any customer or prospective customer of a Company Entity, including but not limited to its business, employees, operations, systems, assets, liabilities, finances, products, and marketing, selling and operating practices; (vi) any information related to any security system of any Company Entity or any of employees, (vii) any and all information pertaining to the business and or personal affairs of the Company’s partners, members and employees, including but not limited to their personal lives, characteristics, opinions, ideas, conduct, habits or background or their business or financial condition, affairs, dealings or operations or their personal database, personal photographs or videotapes, purchases, travel itineraries, social interactions, tax information, emails, private conversations, phone calls and correspondence; (viii) any information not included in (i) through (vii), above, which the Employee knows or should know is subject to a restriction on disclosure or which the Employee knows or should know is considered by any Company Entity’s clients or prospective clients to be confidential, sensitive, proprietary, or a trade secret or is not readily available to the public; or (ix) intellectual property, including inventions and copyrightable works. Confidential Information is not generally known or available to the general public, but has been developed, compiled, or acquired by the Company at its effort and expense. Confidential Information can be in any form, including but not limited to verbal, written, or machine readable, including electronic files. By way of example but not limitation of the foregoing, Confidential Information may be acquired by observing documents, things, people or events, by direct communication with clients or others or by overhearing conversations in person or over the telephone or otherwise.

Immediately upon the termination of employment with the Company for any reason, or at any time the Company so requests, the Employee will return to the Company: (i) any originals and all copies of all files, notes, documents, slides (including transparencies), computer disks, printouts, reports, lists of the Company’s clients or leads or referrals to prospective clients, and other media or property in the Employee’s possession or control that contain or pertain to Confidential Information or trade secrets; and (ii) all property of the Company, including, but not limited to, supplies, keys, access devices, books, identification cards, computers, telephones and other equipment. The Employee agrees that upon completion of the obligations set forth in this subparagraph, and if requested by the Company, the Employee will execute a statement declaring that he or she has retained no property of the Company or materials containing Confidential Information, nor has he or she supplied the same to any person, except as required to carry out his or her duties as an employee of the Company.

The Employee further agrees that, except as required by law, the Employee will not do or say (or omit to do or say) anything that is intended, or might reasonably be expected, to harm or disparage the Company Entities, any of its or their clients or prospective clients or any of the Company Entity’s employees or to impair the reputation of any of the foregoing, or the reputation of any of its services, products, officers, or employees.

Employee further agrees that Employee shall not, on Employee’s own initiative or in response to an inquiry, discuss or disclose, in any medium, any matters affecting or concerning any Company Entity with a member of the media, unless a duly authorized representative of the affected Company Entity has provided prior written consent. Any media inquiries regarding either of the aforementioned should be referred immediately to Employee’s immediate superior.

6. Employee’s Acknowledgment.

The Employee hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) the restrictions and obligations set forth in and imposed by Sections 1-5 will not prevent Employee from obtaining gainful employment in Employee’s field of expertise or cause Employee undue hardship; and (b) the restrictions and obligations imposed on Employee under Sections 1-5 are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company including its Confidential Information, and are reasonable in view of the benefits and consideration Employee has received or will receive from the Company. Employee agrees to provide a copy of this Agreement to any prospective employer or business partner prior to accepting employment or entering into any other business relationship with such prospective employer or business partner.


7. Exceptions.

Nothing in this provision is intended to prohibit or prevent you from participating or testifying in any administrative, legislative, or judicial proceeding, concerning alleged criminal conduct or alleged sexual harassment if requested or required by a court or arbitrator’s order, subpoena, or written request from and administrative agency or legislature. Nor shall anything herein bar you from reporting or receiving any whistleblower award under any governing program.

Also, under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA): (1) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret, provided the disclosure: (A) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public. Additionally, an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the individual’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court or arbitration proceeding, provided the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court or arbitrator’s order.


8. Equitable Relief.

In recognition of the fact that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event of a breach by the Employee of his or her obligations under Section 1-5 of this Agreement, that monetary damages for such breach would not be readily calculable, and that the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law therefor, the Employee acknowledges, consents, and agrees that in the event of such breach, or the threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to (a) specific performance thereof and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the violation or threatened violation of such obligations by the Employee and persons acting for or in connection with the Employee and (b) recovery of all reasonable sums and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in seeking to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.


10

9. Severability.

The parties agree they have attempted to limit the scope of the post-employment restrictions contained herein to the extent necessary to protect Confidential Information and trade secrets, client relationships, and goodwill. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law and public policies. Accordingly, if any particular portion of this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such invalid portion, and reformed to the extent valid and enforceable. Such deletion and reformation shall apply only with respect to the operation of this Agreement in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.


10. Other Agreements and Obligations Survive.

Neither the Employee nor the Company intends to waive or release the applicability of any other more extensive legal or contractual obligations the Employee may owe the Company at any particular time, including under any employment agreement between the Employee and the Company whether executed prior to this Agreement or at any time hereafter with regard to the subject matters of Sections 1-5.

The obligations of the Employee under this Agreement shall be independent of, and unaffected by, and shall not affect, other agreements, if any, binding the Employee that apply to the Employee’s business activities during and/or subsequent to the Employee’s employment by the Company, including any employment agreement between the Employee and the Company whether executed prior to this Agreement or at any time hereafter. The obligations under this Agreement also shall survive any changes made in the future to the employment terms of the Employee, including, but not limited to, changes in salary, benefits, bonus or incentive compensation, job title, and job responsibilities.


11. EmploymentUnaltered.

The Employee understands that this Agreement does not constitute a contract of employment and does not promise or imply that his or her employment will continue for any period of time. Unless otherwise agreed to under any employment or other agreement between the Employee and the Company whether executed prior to this Agreement or at any time hereafter, employment with the Company is “at will” and may be terminated either by the Employee or the Company at any time, for any or no reason, and with or without notice.


12. Binding Effect; Assignment.

The Employee expressly consents to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to whose employ he or she may be transferred without the necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such transfer. Further, the rights of the Company hereunder may be assigned, without consent of the Employee, at any time, to any successor in interest of the Company, or any portion thereof, by reason of merger, consolidation, sale, lease or other disposition of any or all of the assets or stock of the Company.


11

13. Governing Law and Choice of Forum.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The parties, being desirous of having any disputes resolved in a forum having a substantial body of law and experience with the matters contained herein, agree that any action or proceeding with respect to Paragraph 7 of this Agreement shall be brought as provided in the Employment Agreement to which this Agreement is appended.


14. Non-Waiver.

The failure of either the Company or the Employee, whether purposeful or otherwise, to exercise in any instance any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, power, or privilege, nor of the same right, power, or privilege in any other instance. Any waiver by the Company or by the Employee must be in a written or electronic instrument signed by either the Employee, if the Employee is seeking to waive any of his or her rights under this Agreement, or by a senior executive officer of the Employer, if the Company is seeking to waive any of its rights under this Agreement.


15. Modification.

No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in a written or electronic instrument signed by both parties hereto, wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement.


16. Cooperation.

Both during the Employee’s employment with the Company and after the termination thereof for any reason, the Employee agrees to provide cooperation as reasonably requested by the Company regarding any claim, potential claim, or regulatory matter to which the Employee has knowledge.


17. Subpoena.

In the event that you receive a request or are required (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information you agree to (a) promptly notify the Company in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request or requirement, (b) consult with the Company on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement, and (c) assist the Company in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, you shall not be liable for such disclosure unless disclosure to any such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a previous disclosure by you not permitted by this Employment Agreement.
