NOTES

TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR

THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022

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 and completed an initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) on September 17, 2021. The Company is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, research, and development of innovative treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders and other diseases. The Company is leveraging its expertise in the fields of neuroscience, translational medicine, and drug development to advance new molecular entities that target the pathophysiology underlying such diseases with the goal of bringing life-changing therapies to patients.

The Company’s therapeutic pipeline currently consists of four programs. The Company’s lead product candidate, PAS-004, is a next-generation macrocyclic mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MEK inhibitor that the Company believes may address the limitations and liabilities associated with existing drugs targeting a similar mechanism of action. The remaining three programs are in the discovery stage, which the Company believes address limitations in the treatment paradigm of the indications the Company plans to address with these programs, which are currently amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”), multiple sclerosis (“MS”) and schizophrenia.

Through December 31, 2022, the Company operated a Clinics business that was 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. involved 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 involved providing business support services to entities that furnish similar services to patients who personally pay for those services. Operations in the U.K. and the United States were conducted through partnerships with healthcare providers and the Company did not provide professional medical services or psychiatric assessments.

During the three months ended as of March 31, 2023, we discontinued our at-home services in New York, NY as well as our services in the U.K. During the three months ended as of June 30, 2023, we sold our assets associated with the Clinics operations in Los Angeles, CA and the lease associated with the related property was assumed by the buyer in the transaction. Accordingly, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the previously discontinued operations of our Clinics segment have been disposed of.

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, Alpha-5 Integrin, LLC, and AlloMek Therapeutics, LLC. 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 a Delaware limited liability company. AlloMek Therapeutics, LLC is a 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”).

5

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.

Liquidityand Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $26.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $25.8 million. The Company’s major sources of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various private offerings, the Initial Public Offering, and the prior exercise of warrants. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through twelve months from the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE

2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.) and Pasithea Clinics Corp. (“Pasithea Clinics”). 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. Management regularly makes estimates related to the fair value of warrant liabilities; the recoverability of long-lived assets; the fair values and useful lives of intangible assets acquired in business combinations; the potential impairment of goodwill; and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As appropriate, the Company obtains reports from third-party valuation experts to inform and support estimates related to fair value measurements.

6

Researchand 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. Our 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, non-clinical and regulatory 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.

Selling,General and Administrative

Our selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including stock-based compensation, legal fees relating to both intellectual property and corporate matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications and public company expenses, information technology, office and facility rents and related expenses, including depreciation, amortization and maintenance, and fees for consulting, business development and other professional services.

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 cash equivalents of $10.1 million as of June 30, 2023, and did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022.

Propertyand Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost, net of depreciation. 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.

WarrantLiability

The Company accounts for the publicly traded warrants issued in its Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the warrants issued as compensation to the underwriters in its Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, 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 IPO Warrants was initially measured using a Black Scholes pricing model. Currently, the fair value of the Public Warrants is measured using quoted market prices, and the fair value of the Representative Warrants is based on an estimate of the relative fair value to the Public Warrants, accounting for a small difference in the exercise price.

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 June 30, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

7

FairValue of Financial Instruments

Except for 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.

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;
Level<br> 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted<br> prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;<br> and
--- ---
Level<br> 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,<br> such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
--- ---

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and 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:
Fair value Quoted prices <br> in active<br> markets<br> for identical<br> liabilities<br> (Level 1) Significant<br> other<br> observable<br> inputs <br> (Level 2) Significant<br> unobservable<br> inputs<br> (Level 3)

The change in fair value of the Representative Warrants liabilities is recorded in change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the cash equivalents is based on the fair value of marketable securities invested in U.S. government money market funds.

The fair value of the liability associated with the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2023 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 June 30, 2023 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.

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.

NetLoss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to the basic earnings per share, except the weighted average number of common shares 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:

Six months ended<br> June 30, 2023
2023 2022
Stock options 1,980,000 1,000,000
Warrants 15,356,000 12,600,000
Restricted stock units 99,999 200,000

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.
--- ---

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:

12/31/2022
Closing rate, British Pound () to at period end 1.2714 1.2039
Average rate, to for the period ended 1.2332 1.2362
Closing rate, Euro () to at period end 0.9166 0.9367
Average rate, to for the period ended 0.9256 0.9517

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no material items of other comprehensive income (loss) except for the foreign currency translation adjustment.

RecentAccounting Pronouncements

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

RecentlyAdopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this guidance on March 31, 2023. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

4 – LEASES


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 $16,171 per month, which will increase to $16,656 beginning January 1, 2024.

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 approximately $569,000 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 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%.

10

As of June 30, 2023, the Company recognized total ROU assets and lease liabilities as follows:

As of<br> June 30,<br> 2023 As of<br> December 31, <br> 2022
Non-current leases – right of use assets $ 419,885 $ 500,428

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Legaland Regulatory Environment

The healthcare industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government healthcare program participation requirement, reimbursement for patient services and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations by healthcare providers.

Violations of these laws and regulations could result in expulsion from government healthcare programs, together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with fraud and abuse regulations, as well as other applicable government laws and regulations. While no material regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time.

Company Summary

We are a biotechnology company primarily focused on the discovery, research and development of innovative treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders and RASopathies. Our primary operations (the “Therapeutics” segment) are focused on developing our lead therapeutic candidate, PAS-004, a macrocyclic MEK inhibitor for potential use in a range of CNS-related indications, including neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) as well as Noonan syndrome, lamin A/C cardiomyopathy and certain oncology indications that we acquired from AlloMek Therapeutics, LLC in October 2022. PAS-004 has completed pre-clinical testing and animal toxicology studies to support a regulatory application to study PAS-004 for the treatment of NF1. We anticipate initiating our first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial as soon as possible after the acceptance of our regulatory submission by the regulatory agencies. We are also focused on the development of our discovery programs through lead identification of drug candidates, including PAS-003, a monoclonal antibody targeting a5b1 integrin for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), PAS-002, a DNA vaccine targeting GlialCAM for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), and PAS-001, a small molecule targeting the compliment component 4 (C4) gene for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development, regulatory approval and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity, debt financings, or other capital sources, including potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

17

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance our product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. We expect our expenses and capital requirements will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities as we:

continue our ongoing and planned research and development of our product candidates;
initiate nonclinical studies and clinical trials for any additional product candidates that we may pursue;
--- ---
scale up external manufacturing capacity with the aim of securing sufficient quantities to meet our capacity requirements for clinical trials and potential commercialization;
--- ---
establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any approved product candidates and related additional commercial manufacturing costs;
--- ---
develop, maintain, expand, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio;
--- ---
acquire or in-license product candidates and technologies; and
--- ---
add clinical, operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and planned future commercialization efforts.

Recent Developments


Clinics Segment


During the first quarter of 2023, we discontinued our at-home services in New York, NY as well as our services in the U.K. During the second quarter of 2023, we sold our assets associated with the Clinics operations in Los Angeles, CA, and the lease associated with the related property was assumed by the buyer in the transaction. Accordingly, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the previously discontinued operations of our Clinics segment have been disposed of.

Completion of GMP-Compliant Manufacturing

On June 29, 2023, we announced the successful completion of manufacturing the GMP-compliant Phase 1 clinical supplies of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) of our lead product candidate PAS-004. We intend to utilize this supply of PAS-004 for our upcoming Phase I clinical trial following acceptance of our regulatory application.

Tender Offer to Repurchase Shares of CommonStock

On July 20, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, through a $4.0 million tender offer, of up to approximately 5.7 million shares of our outstanding common stock at a cash purchase price of $0.70 per share (the “Tender Offer”). We launched the Tender Offer on August 9, 2023, which is expected to expire on September 8, 2023, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

Impact of Inflation

We have recently experienced higher costs across our business as a result of inflation, including higher costs related to employee compensation and outside services. We expect inflation to continue to have a negative impact throughout 2023, and it is uncertain whether we will be able to offset the impact of inflationary pressures in the near term.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, for employees and consultants in executive, finance and accounting, legal, operations support, information technology and human resource functions. Selling, general and administrative expense also includes corporate facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expense, including rent, utilities, depreciation, amortization and maintenance, as well as legal fees related to intellectual property and corporate matters and fees for accounting and consulting services.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the discontinued Clinics operations in 2023.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to remain relatively flat throughout 2023.


Research and Development

Research and development expenses relate to our activities performed by our Therapeutics segment, which are primarily focused on the development of PAS-004, our lead product candidate, and PAS-003, our most advanced discovery candidate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, research and development expenses were approximately $2.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. There were no research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is due to the commencement and expansion of our drug development activities primarily related to PAS-004 and PAS-003.

We expect research and development expenses to increase throughout 2023 primarily related to manufacturing, regulatory and clinical development of PAS-004.

19

Other income, net

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other income, net decreased by approximately $191,000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the larger decrease in the fair value of the publicly traded warrants issued in our Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the warrants issued as compensation to the underwriters in our Initial Public Offering (the “Representative Warrants”) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the decrease that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, other income, net decreased by approximately $1.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the $1.4 million decrease in the fair value of our Public Warrants and Representative Warrants that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a decrease of approximately $67,000 that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Current liabilities 2,229,058 1,641,755
Working capital $ 25,807,843 $ 32,271,476

Working capital decreased by approximately $6.5 million between December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 due primarily to cash used to fund operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ (6,440,231 ) $ (5,005,810 )

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily attributable to cash used to fund operations and make equipment purchases during the period.

20

Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook

As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $26.6 million in operating bank accounts and money market funds, with working capital of approximately $25.8 million. We are dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute our development plans and continue operations. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity was and will continue to be satisfied through the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, a private placement in November 2021 and the receipt of cash upon the prior exercise of our outstanding warrants. Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital to meet our needs through twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, primarily selling, general and administrative and research and development expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

the scope, timing, progress and results of discovery, preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates;
the costs of manufacturing our product candidates for clinical trials and in preparation for marketing approval and commercialization;
--- ---
the extent to which we enter into collaborations or other arrangements with third parties in order to further develop our product candidates;
--- ---
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
--- ---
the costs and fees associated with the discovery, acquisition or in-license of additional product candidates or technologies;
--- ---
expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;
--- ---
the costs required to scale up our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing capabilities;
--- ---
the costs of future commercialization activities, if any, including establishing sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval; and
--- ---
revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval.
--- ---

We will need significant additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials, other research and development expenditures, and business development activities. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical studies.

Tender Offer to Repurchase Shares of Common Stock

On July 20, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the Tender Offer to repurchase approximately 5.7 million shares of our outstanding common stock at a cash purchase price of $0.70 per share, totaling $4.0 million. We launched the Tender Offer on August 9, 2023, which is expected to expire on September 8, 2023, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. On a proforma basis giving effect to the Tender Offer, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital to meet our needs through twelve months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Contractual Obligations

See Note 9 – 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

During the periods presented, 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 and estimates, which include (1) revenue recognition, (2) stock-based compensation and (3) fair value measurements, are more fully described in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as amended on April 4, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in our Form 10-K.

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 Representative Warrants, for which there is no active market, based on the relative fair value to the quoted market price of the Public Warrants, accounting for a small difference in the exercise price.
