Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, referred to as “we,” us,” “our,” “Revelation,” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development or commercialization on harnessing the power of trained immunity for the prevention and treatment of disease using its proprietary formulation Gemini. We have multiple ongoing programs to evaluate Gemini, including as a prevention for post-surgical infection, as a prevention for acute kidney injury, and for the treatment of chronic kidney disease. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 20, 2019 (originally as Petra Acquisition, Inc.) and is based in San Diego, California.

The Company’s common stock and public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “REVB” and “REVBW”, respectively.

Reverse Stock Split

On January 25, 2024, the Company effected the approved 1-for-30 reverse stock split of our shares of common stock. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, the share and per share information that follows in this Quarterly Report, reflects the effect of the reverse stock split.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including a net loss of $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $36.5 million, a stockholders’ equity of $1.1 million and available cash and cash equivalents of $12.1 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future as it continues to complete all necessary product development or future commercialization efforts. The Company has never generated revenue and does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for GEM-AKI, GEM-CKD, GEM-PSI or other product candidates, which the Company expects will not be for at least several years, if ever. The Company does not anticipate that its current cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to sustain operations within one-year after the date that the Company’s unaudited financial statements for June 30, 2024 were issued, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

To continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, to raise additional capital resources. The Company plans to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, it could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect the Company’s business operations.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for June 30, 2024, have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position. The financial data and the other financial information contained in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at December 31, 2023 contained in the above referenced Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical and industry experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts. Income generated from cash held in savings accounts is recorded as interest income. The carrying value of the Company’s savings accounts is included in cash and approximates the fair value.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Bank deposits are held by accredited financial institutions and these deposits may at times be in excess of federally insured limits. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing them with financial institutions that it believes are of high quality. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash or cash equivalents.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds generated as a result of the offering. Should the planned equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred. When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in other income (expense).

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Operating lease right-of-use assets are comprised of the lease liability plus any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised or when it is reasonably certain that the termination option will not be exercised. For an operating lease, if the interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is not readily determinable, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in similar economic environments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of the Company’s product candidates, GEM-AKI, GEM-CKD, GEM-PSI and other product candidates. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company records accrued expenses for estimated preclinical, clinical study and research expenses related to the services performed but not yet invoiced pursuant to contracts with research institutions, contract research organizations, and clinical manufacturing organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies, clinical studies, research services, and development services on the Company’s behalf. Payments for these services are based on the terms of individual agreements and payment timing may differ significantly from the period in which the services were performed. Estimates are based on factors such as the work completed, including the level of patient enrollment. The Company monitors patient enrollment levels and related activity to the extent reasonably possible and makes judgments and estimates in determining the accrued balance in each reporting period. The Company’s estimates of accrued expenses are based on the facts and circumstances known at the time. If the Company underestimates or overestimates the level of services performed or the costs of these services, actual expenses could differ from estimates. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts accrued expenses. To date, the Company has not experienced significant changes in estimates of clinical study and development services accruals.

Patent Costs

Legal costs in connection with approved patents and patent applications are expensed as incurred, as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain. These costs are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, third-party warrants, and Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) awards granted, based on the estimated fair value of the stock-based awards on the date of grant. The fair value of employee stock options and third-party warrants are generally determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using various inputs, including estimates of historic volatility, term, risk-free rate, and future dividends. The grant date fair value of the stock-based awards, which have graded vesting, is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each stock-based award, which is generally the vesting period of the respective stock-based awards. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included within the provision of income tax. To date, there have been no unrecognized tax benefits balances.

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. These levels of inputs are the following:

• Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company has determined that the measurement of the fair value of the Class C Common Stock Warrants (as defined in Note 5) is a Level 3 fair value measurement and uses the Monte-Carlo simulation model for valuation (see Note 10).

Warrant Liability

The Company reviews the terms of debt instruments, equity instruments, and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative features, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Additionally, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options and warrants.

The Company accounts for its common stock warrants in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Based upon the provisions of ASC 480 and ASC 815, the Company accounts for common stock warrants as current liabilities if the warrant fails the equity classification criteria. Common stock warrants classified as liabilities are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and revalued at each balance sheet date with the offsetting adjustments recorded in change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company values its Class C Common Stock Warrants classified as liabilities using the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Earnings per Share

Basic net (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential shares of common stock. Diluted net (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potential shares of common stock. Convertible preferred stock on an as converted basis, RSU awards, warrants and stock options outstanding are considered potential shares of common stock and are included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) earnings per share using the treasury stock method when their effect is dilutive. Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) earnings per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.

In January 2024, the Company signed an amendment extending the Lease until November 30, 2024, with a base monthly rent equal to $5,350. The Company is required to maintain a security deposit of $5,564. The Lease contains customary default provisions, representations, warranties and covenants. In addition to rent, the Lease requires the Company to pay certain taxes, insurance and operating costs relating to the leased premises. The Company has applied the short-term lease exception as the amendment is less than twelve months. The Lease is classified as an operating lease.

Commitments

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with third party service providers and vendors. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice and, therefore, are cancellable contracts and not considered contractual obligations and commitments.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is it aware of any material pending or threatened litigation other than described below.

Legal Proceedings

On February 18, 2022, LifeSci Capital LLC (“LifeSci”) filed an action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking damages in the amount of approximately $5.3 million plus interest for unpaid banking and advisory fees. These fees arise under contracts which were entered into prior to the Business Combination and the Company asserted that LifeSci is not entitled to the fee because it violated its responsibilities by misrepresenting to Petra the funds that would be available following the Business Combination, absent which Petra would not have entered into the Business Combination Agreement. On December 1, 2023 a Magistrate Judge issued a report recommending summary judgment in favor of LifeSci. On December 15, 2023, the Company filed objections to the Magistrate’s report asserting that the Magistrate Judge made factual determinations not appropriate for summary judgment and misapplied the law. The Magistrate’s report was a recommendation to the trial judge who was responsible for reviewing the case de novo. On August 1, 2024 the District Court judge entered an order adopting the Magistrate Judge’s report and granted the summary judgment and issued a judgment, including interest, totaling $7.3 million. Following the issuance of the judgment, LifeSci, filed a motion for reimbursement of costs in the amount of $0.2 million. See Note 12 Subsequent Event for more information.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In January 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Vesting periods and other restrictions for grants under the 2021 Plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Grants to employees, officers, directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company typically vest over one to four years. In addition, the number of shares of stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be automatically increased each January 1, and began on January 1, 2022, by 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of our common stock from the first day of the preceding calendar year to the first day of the current calendar year or such lesser number as determined by our board of directors.

On July 14, 2023 at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an amendment to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan to 21,623 was approved.

On May 15, 2024 at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, an amendment to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan to 163,294 was approved.

Under the 2021 Plan, stock options and stock appreciation rights are granted at exercise prices determined by the Board of Directors which cannot be less than 100% of the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. Incentive stock options granted to any stockholders holding 10% or more of the Company's equity cannot be granted with an exercise price of less than 110% of the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and such options are not exercisable after five years from the grant date.

As of June 30, 2024, there were 162,348 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

At the Closing Date of the Business Combination, all Revelation Sub RSU award holders received a Rollover RSU award in exchange for each RSU award of Revelation Sub that vest in accordance with the original terms of the award. The Company determined this to be a Type I modification but did not record any incremental stock-based compensation expense since the fair value of the modified awards immediately after the modification was not greater than the fair value of the original awards immediately before the modification.

The Rollover RSU awards have time-based and milestone-based vesting conditions. Under time-based vesting conditions, the Rollover RSU awards vest quarterly over one-year for grants to the Board of Directors and quarterly over four years or 25% on the one-year anniversary and the remainder vesting monthly thereafter for grants to officers, employees and consultants. The milestone-based vesting conditions vested on the Closing Date of the Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has a total of 94 Rollover RSU awards for shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, 72 Rollover RSU awards have fully vested but are unissued and no Rollover RSU awards have been forfeited. As of June 30, 2024, 94 Rollover RSU awards will vest and be issued over the next 0.6 years. Each Rollover RSU award converts to one share of common stock.

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock options which (i) vest fully on the date of grant; (ii) vest 25% on the one-year anniversary of the grant date or the employees hiring date, with the remainder vesting quarterly thereafter; or (iii) vest quarterly over one-year, for grants to Board of Directors, officers and employees. Stock options have a maximum term of 3 or 10 years.

The activity related to stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is summarized as follows:


	Shares			Weighted-average Exercise Price		Weighted-average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2023		1,157		$	285.47
Granted		—			—
Exercised		—			—
Expired and forfeited		(211	)		35.70
Outstanding at June 30, 2024		946		$	341.18		7.2
Exercisable at June 30, 2024		887		$	266.10		7.1

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the weighted-average Black-Scholes value per stock option was $32.26. The fair value of the stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


Volatility	144.2	%
Expected term (years)	5.04
Risk-free interest rate	3.60	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of shares of the Company’s common stock. In determining the expected term of stock options, the Company uses the “simplified” method. Under this method, the expected term is presumed to be the midpoint between the average vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the stock options in effect at the time of the grants. The dividend yield assumption is based on the expectation of no future dividend payments by the Company. In addition to assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model, the Company reduces stock-based compensation expense based on actual forfeitures in the period that each forfeiture occurs.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the period indicated as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
General and administrative:
RSU awards	$	22,382	$	22,383	$	44,765	$	44,766
Stock Options		7,217		34,556		14,432		41,772
General and administrative stock-based compensation expense		29,599		56,939		59,197		86,538
Research and development:
RSU awards		1,898		1,898		3,796		3,796
Stock Options		598		598		1,196		1,196
Research and development stock-based compensation expense		2,496		2,496		4,992		4,992
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	32,095	$	59,435	$	64,189	$	91,530

As of June 30, 2024, there was $58,340 and $51,750 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to Rollover RSU awards and stock options, respectively. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.6 years and 1.7 years for Rollover RSU’s and stock options, respectively.

10. Warrants

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18,900 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders; and if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Public Warrants.

The warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, provide for a cash or cashless exercise right and expire on July 25, 2027.

The warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, provide for a cash or cashless exercise right and expire on July 25, 2027.

The fair value of the Class B Placement Agent Common Stock Warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


Volatility	144	%
Expected term (years)	5
Risk-free interest rate	2.69	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%

Class C Pre-Funded Warrants

In connection with the February 2023 Public Offering, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,214 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.003 per share. Between February 14, 2023 and April 6, 2023, the Company received notices of cash exercise for the Class C Pre-Funded Warrants issued in connection with the February 2023 Public Offering for 336,400 shares of common stock at a total purchase price of $33.64. As of June 30, 2024, there were no Class C Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding.

Class C Common Stock Warrants

In connection with the February 2023 Public Offering, the Company issued 6,450,000 warrants to purchase up to 215,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $160.80 per share, valued on the public offering purchase date in the aggregate at $13,996,500 and included in the issuance costs of the public offering and treated as a liability . The warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, provide for a cash, cashless exercise right or an alternative cashless exercise right for 0.4 shares of common stock per Class C Common Stock Warrant and expire on February 14, 2028.

The Company evaluated the Class C Common Stock Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity and accounted for the Class C Common Stock Warrants as current liabilities.

The Company concluded that the multiplier of 0.4 shares of common stock per Class C Common Stock Warrant used in the alternative cashless exercise precludes the Class C Common Stock Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s stock. The Company recorded the Class C Common Stock Warrants as current liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date. Estimating fair values of liability-classified financial instruments requires the development of estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Because liability-classified financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Company’s financial results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Changes in fair value are recognized as a component of other (expense) income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At the date of issuance, the Company valued the Class C Common Stock Warrants using a Monte-Carlo simulation model with a fair value of $14.0 million.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company has received notices of alternative cashless exercises for 6,217,640 Class C Common Stock Warrants issued in connection with the February 2023 Public Offering for 82,919 shares of common stock.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company re-valued 232,360 outstanding Class C Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to 7,746 shares of common stock using a Monte-Carlo simulation model with a fair value of $10,844. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the gain of $0.1 million, respectively, resulting from the change in the fair value of the liability for the unexercised warrants was recorded as a change in fair value of the warrant liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Class D Pre-Funded Warrants

In connection with the February 2024 Public Offering, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,236,530 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Between February 5, 2024 and February 13, 2024, the Company received notices of cash exercise for the Class D Pre-Funded Warrants issued in connection with the February 2024 Public Offering for 1,236,530 shares of common stock at a total purchase price of $123.65. As of June 30, 2024, there were no Class D Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding.

Class D Common Stock Warrants

In connection with the February 2024 Public Offering, the Company issued and has outstanding 2,730,000 warrants shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.53 per share, valued on the public offering purchase date in the aggregate at $6.3 million and included in the issuance costs of the public offering and treated as equity. The warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, provide for a cash or cashless exercise right and expire on February 5, 2029.

As part of a common stock issuance to a third party consultant on June 11, 2024 for services provided, the exercise price of the Class D Common Stock Warrants was reset from $4.53 to $2.39.

The fair value of the Class D Common Stock Warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


Volatility	100	%
Expected term (years)	5
Risk-free interest rate	4.20	%
Expected dividend yield	0.0	%

11. Income Taxes

The quarterly provision for or benefit from income taxes is computed based upon the estimated annual effective tax rate and the year-to-date pre-tax (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income. The Company did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded non-taxable income of $0.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively, related to a change in the fair value of a warrant liability. The Company incurred taxable losses in 2023 and projects further taxable losses for 2024. The Company did not record a benefit from income taxes because, based on evidence involving its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

12. Subsequent Event

As previously reported, on February 18, 2022, LifeSci Capital LLC filed an action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking damages in the amount of approximately $5.3 million plus interest for unpaid banking and advisory fees. These fees arise under contracts which were entered into prior to the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Petra Acquisition (“Petra”) and the Company asserted that LifeSci Capital LLC was not entitled to the fee because it violated its responsibilities by misrepresenting to Petra the funds that would be available following the Business Combination, absent which Petra would not have entered into the Business Combination Agreement. Also as previously reported, on December 1, 2023 a Magistrate Judge issued a report recommending summary judgment in favor of LifeSci Capital LLC. On August 1, 2024 the District Court judge entered an order adopting the Magistrate Judge’s report and granted the summary judgment and issued a judgment, including interest, totaling $7.3 million. Following the issuance of the judgment, LifeSci, filed a motion for reimbursement of costs in the amount of $0.2 million. $1.5 million of the judgment relates to deferred underwriting commissions from the Petra initial public offering, which was recorded previously in the financial statements as a current liability, the remaining $5.8 million and $0.2 million reimbursement of costs, has been expensed through the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the total $7.5 million judgment and reimbursement of costs is recorded as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 in Accrued Expenses (see Note 2).
