Financial Summary

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated approximately $257 thousand in revenue representing an increase of 26% compared to the approximately $204 thousand generated during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue is attributed to white-label sales of our over-the-counter formulations. The Company is committed to its current strategy of driving sales in formulations both as branded and white-labeled products.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") expenses decreased by approximately $1.1 million or 49% to approximately $1.0 million, from approximately $2.2 million recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1.1 million is attributed to a one-time expense of approximately $734 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and the focus of management on cost efficiency in marketing and corporate expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported Research and Development ("R&D") expenses of approximately $852 thousand, representing a decrease of approximately $51 thousand or 6% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. It is primarily attributable to the progression of CALMA Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical studies on the other small molecule assets.

The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024, was approximately $1.8 million or $0.02 per share, compared to approximately $5.8 million or $0.08 per share for three months ended December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not drawn on the $12 million available under the Credit Agreement with O-Bank.
