Glossary of Terms

Nano - When used as a prefix for something other than a unit of measure, as in “nanoscience,” nano means relating to nanotechnology, or on a scale of nanometers (one billionth of a meter or greater).

Viricide - An agent that reliably deactivates or destroys a virus.

Nanoviricide ™ - An agent that is made by attaching ligands against a certain virus or family of viruses to a nanomicelle based on the Company’s patent-pending and proprietary technologies.

Ligand - A short peptide or chemical molecule fragment that has been designed to specifically recognize one particular type of virus.

Micelle - an aggregate of molecules in a solution, such as those formed by detergents.

Nanomicelle - A term coined to describe the micelles formed from the backbone polymer of a nanoviricide sans attached ligands.

Pendant polymeric micelles - A polymeric micelle forms from a polymer whose chemical constitution is such that even a single chain of the polymer forms a micelle. A pendant polymer is a polymer that has certain units in its backbone that extend short chains branched away from the backbone. Pendant Polymeric Micelles therefore are polymeric micelle materials that are a class of pendant polymers, and naturally form exceptionally well-defined, self-assembling, globular micelles with a core-shell architecture.

Mutations - The ability (of a virus) to change its genetic structure to avoid the body’s natural defenses. Mutant viruses are created from a parent virus strain through a process of natural selection under pressure as it replicates in a host.

P-Value - In statistical hypothesis testing, the p-value is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as that obtained, assuming that the null hypothesis is true; wherein the truth of the null hypothesis states that the finding was the result of chance alone. The fact that p-values are based on this assumption is crucial to their correct interpretation. The smaller the p-value, the greater is the probability that the observed study results and the comparison control are distinct, and therefore that the study results are not a result of chance alone.

More technically, the p-value of an observed value observed of some random variable T used as a test statistic is the probability that, given that the null hypothesis is true, T will assume a value as or more unfavorable to the null hypothesis as the observed value observed. “More unfavorable to the null hypothesis” can in some cases mean greater than, in some cases less than and in some cases further away from a specified center value.

Investigational New Drug Application (Investigational New Drug (“IND”) - The process of licensure of a new drug in the US goes through several steps. A simplified explanation of these steps is as follows. Initially a Company may file a pre-IND application to seek meetings with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for guidance on work needed for filing an IND application. The Company obtains data on the safety and effectiveness of the drug substance in various laboratory studies including cell cultures and animal models. The Company also obtains data on chemical manufacturing of the drug substance. These and certain additional data are used to create an IND that the Company files with the FDA. After the FDA approves an IND application, the Company may conduct human clinical studies. A Phase I human clinical trial is designed typically to evaluate safety of the drug and maximum permissible dosage level. A Phase II human clinical trial that follows is designed to evaluate effectiveness of the drug against the disease in a small cohort of patients. A Phase III human clinical trial thereafter is designed to evaluate effectiveness and safety in larger groups of patients, often at multiple sites. The Company may then submit an NDA (New Drug Application) with the data collected in the clinical trials. The FDA may approve the NDA. Once the NDA is approved, the Company can sell the drug in the USA. European countries have similar processes under the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Other countries have similar processes.

SAR - Structure-Activity-Relationship study. When an initial lead drug compound is found that has activity, further studies on drug compounds obtained by suitably modifying it are performed with the goal of improving efficacy, safety, or both. Such studies are called SAR studies.

NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”, “NanoViricides”, “we,” or “us”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 1, 2005, and redomiciled to Delaware effective May 30, 2023. Our corporate offices are located at 1 Controls Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484 and our telephone number is (203) 937-6137. Our Website is located at http://www.Nanoviricides.com. We do not incorporate by reference into this Annual Report the information on or accessible through our website, and you should not consider it part of this Annual Report.

On September 25, 2013, the Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol, “NNVC”.

We are a clinical stage company with our first drug inready to enter Phase II human clinical efficacy trial, having successfully completed Phase Ia/Ib human clinical ~~trial~~safety and tolerability trial. Based on our nanoviricides™ platform technology, we also have several additional drug candidates in various stages of pre-clinical development, including IND-filing stage and late stage IND-enabling non-clinical studies. We have no customers, products or revenues to date, and may never achieve revenues or profitable operations.

NanoViricides Technology Platform Target Product Profile in Brief

We are a clinical stage company developing (a) host-mimetic, and (b) direct-acting, nanomachines capable of dismantling a targeted virus, (c) without assistance from the human immune system.

a. Virus Escape Unlikely. As a host-mimetic, viruses cannot escape a nanoviricide drug by generating mutants and variants in the field, because all variants still require the same signature host features that our drugs mimic. In contrast, vaccines, antibodies and small chemical drugs are readily escaped by viruses as mutations occur, rendering these medical countermeasures ineffective.

b. Direct Antivirals Expected to Provide Significant Safety and Tolerability Benefits. As a direct-acting antiviral, a nanoviricide drug is not expected to interfere with human bodily systems or enzymes, which is expected to result in significant levels of safety, unlike most of the antiviral drugs that interfere with cellular processes.

c. ~~Any~~Applicable ~~viral~~for ~~infection~~All ~~that~~Patient ~~causes~~Population. ~~significant~~As ~~pathology~~a ~~does~~complete sonanomachine bythat ~~virtue~~is ofdesigned ~~host~~to ~~immune~~bind, ~~system disrepair~~engulf, ~~either~~and ~~pre-existing,~~destroy orvirus ~~caused~~particles bywithout ~~the~~dependence ~~virus~~on ~~itself.~~the ~~Therefore~~patient’s physiology, ~~nanoviricides~~a ~~can~~nanoviricide beis expected to beprovide ~~superior~~antiviral toeffect ~~approaches~~for ~~such~~all aspatients, ~~vaccines~~from ~~and~~infants, ~~antibodies~~pediatrics, ~~that~~adults, ~~require~~to ~~a good functional host immune system for antiviral response~~seniors.

These distinctive features that set nanoviricides apart from the entire world of current antiviral approaches are made possible by our novel nanoviricide chemical nanomachine design. After decades of development, this novel nanoviricide technology has now successfully reached clinical stage and regulatory processes towards approval of drugs for commercialization.

NV-387, Phase II-Ready Broad-Spectrum Nanoviricide Drug Development Against Multiple Viruses

Our first clinical stage drug candidate, NV-387, has ~~recently~~ completed Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial for the evaluation of safety and tolerability in healthy subjects. NV-387 is the active ingredient in the two drug product formulations labeled “NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup” and “NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies” that ~~were~~we ~~then~~developed ~~indicated~~ for the treatment for COVID infection. inIn this clinical trial. ~~There~~for safety and tolerability in healthy human adult subjects: (a) there were no drop-outs., ~~There~~(b) there were no reported adverse events, and (c) the drugs were well-tolerated even at the highest level of dosing given multiple times ~~in this trial~~. These results are indicative of safety and tolerability that have been successfully achieved for NV-387. ~~Additional~~The ~~detailed~~Clinical ~~evaluations~~Study ~~based~~Report, ona ~~the~~final ~~subject~~document ~~treatment~~resulting ~~data~~from ~~records~~this ~~are~~clinical trial is in ~~progress~~draft stages nearing completion. We anticipate its submission to the regulatory agency in India soon.

AsNV-387 ~~the~~is ~~next~~a ~~step,~~uniquely webroad-spectrum ~~are~~antiviral ~~focusing~~drug onthat ~~developing~~has ~~NV-387~~demonstrated asstrong aactivity ~~therapeutic~~in ~~drug~~lethal ~~for~~lung ~~the~~infection ~~treatment~~animal model studies of ~~pediatric~~Coronavirus, RSV, ~~infection.~~Influenza Weand ~~are~~even ~~planning~~an ~~Phase~~Orthopoxvirus IImodel ~~clinical~~for ~~trial~~Smallpox and MPox, and most recently, even in a humanized mice model for ~~the~~Measles. ~~treatment~~These distinct types of ~~RSV~~viruses ~~infection~~share ina ~~adults~~common feature; that they all utilize heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) or related Sulfated Proteoglycans (S-PG) as the first “attachment receptor” to ~~lead~~which ~~into~~they abind ~~Phase~~and ~~II/III~~thereby ~~clinical~~prepare ~~trial~~to inattack ~~RSV~~the cells and cause infection. inEach ~~children~~of these viruses then differ in ~~this~~the ~~program~~specific receptor(s) on the cell that the virus uses for attacking the cell, called the “cognate receptor(s)”, and thereby fuse with the cell and enter the cell initiating infection.

NV-387 is adesigned ~~uniquely~~to ~~broad-spectrum~~mimic ~~antiviral~~the ~~drug~~essential, ~~that~~invariant, ~~has~~feature ~~demonstrated~~of ~~strong~~S-PG ~~activity~~onto inwhich ~~lethal~~the ~~lung~~virus ~~infection~~lands ~~animal~~first ~~model~~as ~~studies~~it ofinfects ~~Coronavirus,~~a ~~RSV~~human cell. Thus, ~~Influenza~~NV-387 ~~and~~is ~~even~~designed anto ~~Orthopoxvirus~~interfere ~~model~~at ~~for~~the ~~Smallpox~~earliest ~~and~~possible ~~MPox~~step before the virus can even infect a cell. Over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to use sulfated proteoglycans (“S-PG”) such as heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and others. ~~NV-387~~This ~~mimics~~enables ~~the~~an ~~essential,~~extremely ~~invariant,~~broad ~~feature~~potential range of ~~S-PG~~viruses ~~onto~~that ~~which~~NV-387 ~~the~~could ~~virus~~effectively ~~lands~~address ~~first~~ as itan ~~infects~~antiviral ~~a human cell~~drug.

This extremely broad antiviral spectrum of NV-387 is reminiscent of the broad antibacterial spectrum of antibiotics such as penicillin and we believe NV-387 could revolutionize the treatment of viral infections the same way that penicillin revolutionized the treatment of bacterial infections.

Page 4 of 107

Table of Contents

Antibiotics such as penicillin directly attack the bacterial surface and thereby kill the bacteria. Similarly, NV-387 is designed to directly attack the viral surface and destroy the virus particle. Similar to antibiotics that possess a broad-spectrum to treat bacterial infections, NV-387 could be a much needed, ultra-broad-spectrum, direct acting, antiviral agent to treat multiple different viral infections.

We believe that a safe and effective antiviral drug, when approved, with an extensive broad-spectrum activity across multiple, distinct, virus families is an unmet medical need. Currently available broad-spectrum antivirals such as Remdesivir, Ribavirin, Cidofovir, etc. suffer from extensive and varied dose-limiting toxicities, and thereby present limitations on eligible patient populations as well as on clinical effectiveness.

~~Page~~NV-HHV-1, 4Clinical-Ready ofDrug ~~106~~Candidate and the HerpeCide™ Program

~~Table~~We are also developing several other virus-family-specific drug candidates, by mimicking the common cellular cognate receptors of ~~Contents~~viruses.

NV-HHV-1 is designed to attack all herpesviruses that use the cognate receptor on cells called the “Herpesvirus Entry Mediator” (HVEM, ~~Clinical-Ready~~also ~~Drug~~called ~~Candidate~~CD270 and ~~the~~TNFRSF14) ~~HerpeCide~~for ~~Program~~cell entry.

~~We are also developing several other virus-family-specific drug candidates. Of these,~~ NV-HHV-1, developed as a skin cream for the treatment of Shingles rash, has completed non-clinical safety/pharmacology studies required for a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Investigational New Drug (“IND”) submission. We believe that the NV-HHV-1 skin cream, when approved, can also be additionally indicated to treat HSV-1 “cold sores” and HSV-2 “genital ulcers” based on successful animal studies.

Additionally, we are developing an oral drug for the systemic treatment of most of the herpesvirus family related infections, including HSV-1 “cold sores” and HSV-2 “genital herpes” that is based on the same active ingredient as NV-HHV-1.

HSV-1 infection is known to be associated with and possibly a cause of the neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Current therapies for HSV are limited in effectiveness and most of them target the DNA replication part of the virus. NV-HHV-1, with a mechanism orthogonal to the current therapies, could lead to a substantial improvement in the overall anti-HSV effectiveness and thereby could provide an option for blocking further neurodegeneration in AD.

NV-HIV-1, A Novel Mechanism Anti-HIV Drug Candidate and the HIVCide™ Program

We developed NV-HHV-1 to attack HIV by mimicking the conserved binding of HIV to the CD4 cell surface cognate receptor. This drug has shown remarkable effectiveness in animal studies in SCID-Hu-Thy-Liv implanted humanized mouse model for HIV. Given that Delta-CCR5- subjects are HIV-resistant, and that bone marrow transplant from such patients has led to effective cure of HIV, we believe it is possible that NV-HIV-1 itself or a further modified form to include mimicking the CCR5 portion, could lead to a drug that is close to a cure for HIV infection.

Other Drug Development Programs in the Pipeline

~~Of note, we have drug candidates in HIVCide™ program that have shown substantial antiviral activities in animal studies warranting further clinical development.~~ We have several other drug candidates at different preclinical drug development stages in our pipeline for the treatment of other viral infections including Dengue viruses, Ebola viruses, etc.

NanoViricides Owns Facilities with Fully Integrated Development and Manufacturing Capabilities

NanoViricides is one of a few pharmaceutical drug developers with its own facilities that support the entire drug development process from design and discovery, to chemical synthesis, to initial antiviral evaluation (in cell culture models), to scale-up of drug candidates ~~of interest~~, to set-up and cGMP-compatible manufacture ofdrug ~~the~~substances. ~~candidate~~Our ~~drug~~facility ~~substances~~also ~~and~~supports cGMP-compatible formulation, ~~fill-~~filling, labeling and- finished packaging, of drug products. ~~for~~In ~~clinical~~addition, ~~trials.~~we We also have well-equipped analytical laboratories that support both R&D ~~developmental~~development and cGLP compatible analytical ~~laboratory~~testing asand ~~well~~characterization asof ~~cGLP~~drug ~~compatible~~substances ~~analytical~~and ~~laboratory~~drug products in the same facility. The facility is located at 1 Controls Drive, Shelton, CT.

Having such integrated facility available enabled us to develop the NV-CoV-2 COVID drug (that contains the active pharmaceutical ingredient NV-387) from concept to completion of safety/pharmacology studies required for clinical trials within a matter of just one year.

Table of Contents

The Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial began in June 2023 and the healthy subjects treatment and observation part was completed as of the end of December 2023. The clinical trial drug products, NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup, and NV- CoV-2 Oral Gummies which are two oral formulations of the active ingredient NV-387, were manufactured at our Shelton, CT campus, and then shipped to and received by Karveer Meditech Pvt. Ltd. (“KMPL”) our collaborator. Under the agreement with KMPL, we will pay for the expenses of the clinical trials, and in return we will benefit from having the data and reports made available for regulatory filings in other territories of the world. Upon commercialization by KMPL in India, we will receive royalties from KMPL equal to 70% of sales net of costs to unaffiliated third parties.

We have already manufactured the clinical drug substance NV-387 for the first Phase II clinical trial at this facility. The clinical drug product for this Phase II clinical trial is also planned for production at our own cGMP-compatible facility. A pilot run was completed recently, subsequent to the reporting period of this annual report.

We depend upon external parties, that may be collaborators, consultants, and sub-contractors, for the regulatory development of drug candidates including animal efficacy studies, non-clinical safety/pharmacology studies, regulatory requirements assessments, and regulatory affairs such as advice on regulatory strategy, regulatory documentation, design of clinical trials, preparation of clinical trial applications, as well as conducting clinical trials and preparing required reports.

Strong Intellectual Property and Collaborative Relationships

Our “nanoviricide” platform-based drugs are based on several patents, patent applications, provisional patent applications, and other proprietary intellectual property held by TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (“TheraCour”), to which we have broad, exclusive licenses. The licenses are to entire fields and not to specific compounds. In all, we have exclusive, worldwide licenses for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Ebola/Marburg viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, viruses causing viral Conjunctivitis (a disease of the eye) and Ocular Herpes (restated). In all cases, the discovery of ligands and polymer materials, formulations, chemistry and chemical characterization, as well as process development and related work (the “Development Activities”) will be performed by TheraCour, a related party substantially owned by Dr. Anil Diwan, under the same compensation terms across various agreements between the parties, with no duplication of costs allowed. Upon commercialization, NanoViricides will pay 15% of net sales to TheraCour, although these licenses do not specify the terms of milestone payments during clinical development that are customary in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, we have perfected a license for the field of Varicella Zoster Virus (“VZV License”) infections i.e. Shingles and Chickenpox (the “Shingles License”), and another one for the field of treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infections (the “COVID License Agreement”); both of which specify the same terms for the Development Activities as the prior agreements, and further specify certain milestone payment terms specifically for the individual fields, details of which have been disclosed at the time the agreements were entered into. We have later amended the COVID License on February 12, 2024, so that any cash milestone payments that remained un-earned or unpaid by that date would not be payable in cash until the Company receives sufficient revenue from its commercialization activities including out-licensing, collaborations, co-development agreements, and commercialization, as more fully described in the amendment to the COVID License Agreement (“Amendment to the COVID License Agreement”). Certain milestone payments were made under the VZV License as well as under the COVID License Agreement prior to the Amendment to the COVID License Agreement, details of which have been disclosed. We negotiate and license specific verticals of therapeutic applications from TheraCour if promising drug candidates are found in early research and development against a virus target. TheraCour has not denied any such licenses when requested.

~~Page~~We 5executed a Memorandum of ~~106~~Understanding (“MOU”) with TheraCour on September 23, 2024, subsequent to the reported period, whereby we have obtained a right of first refusal for all antiviral drug developments including unlicensed developments that occur during the course of the Development Activities as specified in our license agreements, and have set out the process of development of drugs for unlicensed viral indications towards completion of appropriate license agreements. The Company and TheraCour have also agreed in this MOU that any cash milestone payments related to development activities, that are awardable, will become payable only upon NanoViricides having sufficient revenue, as defined in and more fully described in the Amendment to the COVID License Agreement referred to above, thereby including the provisions previously incorporated in the Amendment to the COVID License Agreement, to all present and future license agreements.

We have out-licensed NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R for further clinical drug development and commercialization in the territory of India to KMPL, a company of which Dr. Anil Diwan is a passive investor and advisor, enabling KMPL to sponsor our drug products originally developed for COVID treatment, namely NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup and NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies into Phase I human clinical trial.

In various animal models of lethal virus infection challenge, NV-387 was found to lead to substantial increase in survival, compared to even approved drugs where available, indicating potential for successful clinical regulatory development as a treatment for these viruses. Additional criteria studied in these animal models also further bolstered these expectations of potentially successful regulatory development. The viruses we have tested and found to support expectations of potentially successful regulatory development include RSV and Influenza in addition to Coronaviruses, covering the so-called “tripledemic” viruses with a single drug to treat them. In addition, similar strong results were found for treatment with NV-387 of orthopoxvirus infection in animal models, both by dermal route, as well as by direct lung infection route. In these animal model studies, the dermal infection route models MPOX infection, whereas the lung infection route models potential bioterrorist attack with Smallpox virus.

In various animal models of lethal virus infection challenge, NV-387 was found to lead to substantial increase in survival, compared to even approved drugs where available, indicating potential for successful clinical regulatory development as a treatment for a number of viruses. Additional criteria studied in these animal models also further bolstered these expectations of potentially successful regulatory development. The viruses we have tested and found to support expectations of potentially successful regulatory development include RSV and Influenza in addition to Coronaviruses, covering the so-called “tripledemic” viruses with a single drug to treat them. In addition, similar strong results were found for treatment with NV-387 of orthopoxvirus infection in animal models, both by dermal route, as well as by direct lung infection route. Additionally, strong results were found for treatment with NV-387 of lethal Measles virus lung infection in a humanized hCD150-knock-in mouse model. In the animal model studies, the dermal infection route models MPox infection, whereas the lung infection route models potential bioterrorist attack with Smallpox virus.

The above mentioned broad-spectrum antiviral effect of NV-387 as found in animal models of lethal virus challenge infection suggests that NV-387 is eligible for regulatory clinical development as a potential treatment for RSV, Influenza, MPox and Smallpox, as well as Measles, in addition to Coronaviruses, based on the current data at hand. It is possible that NV-387 may have similar antiviral effect against many other viruses, something that we plan on continuing to evaluate as our programs advance. This expectation is based on the mechanism of NV-387 in that it mimics sulfated proteoglycan structures associated with host cells that are used by over 90% of human pathogenic viruses as attachment receptors.

The viruses we have tested NV-387 against cut across different virus types, including RNA viruses as well as DNA viruses of different kinds. We are not aware of any other antiviral drug in development that has such a broad spectrum of activity, and safety/tolerability in humans that would potentially allow use across the entire human population.

We have developed a regulatory strategy for NV-387 that we believe would take NV-387 into commercialization stage in the most cost-effective manner and in the most rapid manner. To this end, we are devising Phase II clinical trials for NV-387 against MPox, an “Orphan” disease in the USA, as well as an innovative “basket-type” clinical trial to assess effectiveness of NV-387 against a range of viruses in a single clinical trial.

Phase II Clinical Trial for Evaluating NV-387 for the Treatment of MPox

We are working on initiating a Phase II clinical trial for NV-387 as a treatment for MPox disease caused by the MPXV virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We have obtained a preliminary approval from the Ethics Committee of the regulatory agency in charge for the African region, namely ACOREP, for this clinical trial. We have signed up a Clinical Trial Research Organization (CRO) to help develop the clinical protocol and conduct the clinical trial. With the CRO, we have identified sites for the clinical trial and have engaged one site in particular, which we believe will be able to provide all of the patients recruitment as needed for the Phase II clinical trial. We are now in the process of developing a clinical trial application.

In addition to the Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NV-387 treatment in MPox patients, we are also planning another Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the potential of NV-387 as an emperic antiviral therapeutic for acute and severe-acute viral respiratory infections (Viral ARI and SARI).

Phase II Clinical Trial for Assessing the Potential of NV-387 as a Revolutionary “Emperic” Antiviral Therapeutic

NV-387 is likely to become an “emperic therapy” for respiratory viral infections, similar to how amoxicillin has become the go-to empiric therapy for respiratory bacterial infections, if its activity that was observed in numerous animal model studies against respiratory infections holds up in the human clinical setting. This is very important for viral diseases, because the first 48 hours are crucial for successful treatment of such viral infections, as seen from notations in the product labels for a number of anti-influenza drugs such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu®, Roche), Zanamivir, and others. Regrettably, at present, antivirals are prescribed only after testing and determination of the causative agent, because the drugs are specific to the virus. This results in the loss of the window of opportunity

for best impact, not accounting for the fact that patient already suffers for a couple of days hoping for recovery before seeking physician’s help.

In contrast to the current one-drug-one-bug antiviral agents, we believe that NV-387 could be prescribed when a patient presents with respiratory symptoms consistent with a viral infection without testing for specific virus, analogous to how antibiotics for respiratory bacterial infections are prescribed, i.e. as an emperic, first-line therapy. This will become possible if NV-387 demonstrates effectiveness in a properly designed clinical trial against a majority of viral respiratory infections. To this end, we are designing a so called “basket-type”, adaptive, clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of NV-387 administered in respiratory viral infections regardless of what the causative virus is. This Phase II clinical trial will enable us to obtain definitive data regarding effectiveness of NV-387 against at least two of the most prevalent viruses during the clinical trial at the trial sites, with substantially indicative data against many others.

We are therefore planning an adaptive, “basket-type”, Phase II clinical trial for the evaluation of NV-387 as a treatment for Viral Acute or Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (Viral-ARI or Viral-SARI). We believe we will obtain definitive data against Influenza, RSV, and Coronaviruses, or at least two of these three viruses, as well as substantially indicative data against the adenoviruses, echoviruses, picornaviruses, rhinoviruses (generally regarded as common cold viruses), and many others that infect by the respiratory route, in this single clinical trial. This would substantially save on costs of conducting clinical trials, and would open up the path for confirmatory Phase III clinical trials to potentially enable a variety of antiviral indications if successful.

NV-387 Has Been Formulated for Several Routes of Administration

We found that NV-387 is effective when orally administered in animal studies, unlike other known nanomedicines that are limited to injectable routes. We developed a soft solid “Oral Gummies” formulation of NV-387. This formulation has the advantage that it dissolves by itself in the mouth, eliminating the need to swallow a hard tablet. This is important for many of the diseases we are targeting. Sore throat from respiratory viral infections, Mouth Ulcers, in the case of MPox, or even old age or very young age, makes tablet swallowing difficult. Our gummies formulation can be readily administered to such patients.

We have also developed an injectable formulation primarily for use in severe cases that do not require hospitalization, an I.V. infusion formulation, that would be preferred for hospitalized patients with I.V. central line, as well as a solution for direct lung inhalation using an off-the-shelf nebulizer, which would provide most concentrated drug action at the site of the most severe infection, namely in the lungs. We plan on performing clinical trials for these cases after the two Phase II studies above are completed.

Benefits of Our Regulatory Approach for NV-387 – Orthopoxviruses – MPox, Smallpox, Biodefense

The Phase II MPox clinical trial in DRC is expected to provide first evidence of efficacy of NV-387 in a viral disease in humans.

MPox was declared as a global Public Health Emergency of International Concern (“PHEIC”) by the World Health Organization (WHO) around May 2022 that was canceled about a year later. This PHEIC was caused by spill-over of the MPox Clade II virus from Africa into European countries and into the USA.

The MPox Clade II continues to cause cases in the USA even in 2025 and is an “Orphan” disease in the USA. It is less severe and less lethal than its cousin, MPox Clade I, that is endemic in regions of Africa including DRC. A new variant of Clade I, namely I.b, caused a severe epidemic leading to a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security by the Africa CDC on August 13, 2024, followed by a new PHEIC declaration by the WHO on the following day. The WHO has rescinded the PHEIC declaration on September 5, 2025, citing decrease in cases in DRC and nearby regions previously affected, whereas the Africa CDC has voted to continue the PHECS designation on September 3, 2025, due to continued spread of the MPox virus into new countries in the region, as well as rise in cases in several regions neighboring to the previous hot zones.

Smallpox is designated as an important bioterrorism target in the USA and other countries. There are two drugs currently approved for smallpox in the USA. Tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA) was approved earlier, with substantial US Government funding during development, and is stockpiled in the US Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). Replenishment orders have amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Brincidofovir (TEMBREXA, previously Chimerix, now Emergent Bio) was approved more recently for Smallpox and is also now in the SNS. Both tecovirimat and brincidofovir were developed using the US FDA “Animal Rule” pathway, since clinical trials with human volunteers for Smallpox are considered unethical.

Page 8 of 107

Table of Contents

Tecovirimat inhibits the release of the virus from infected cells after replication, whereas brincidofovir inhibits the synthesis of the viral DNA. A single point mutation in the virus protein VP-37 is known to cause resistance to tecovirimat. Brincidofovir is said to have a higher bar of resistance to mutation in viruses. Brincidofovir, according to its prescribing information,¹ (i) carries a “Black Box Warning” due to observed increase in mortality in an unrelated disease clinical trial upon extended use; (ii) was found to cause diarrhea in 40% of patients, with 5% discontinuations; (iii) was found to cause elevations in hepatic (i.e. liver) transaminases and bilirubin; (iv) is considered a human carcinogen; (v) may cause embryonic or fetal harm; and (vi) may irreversibly impair fertility. Tecovirimat was tried in a clinical trial called PALM007 for treatment of MPox and the results announced by the US NIH stated that while it was found to be safe and well tolerated, it was not superior to the placebo, in August 2024². In a separate international Phase III clinical trial called UNITY, tecovirimat failed to demonstrate improvement over placebo as reported on July 17, 2025³. Brincidofovir has entered a clinical trial called MOSA for treatment of MPox in January 2025, and interim results were anticipated in Q1 2025, according to the press release by Africa CDC⁴. The current status of this brincidofovir for MPox clinical trial is not publicly known.

At present, there is no drug approved for the treatment of MPox.

Thus, clearly there is a need for a safe and effective drug against Smallpox that would be of interest to the US Government as well as other international agencies. There is potential for drug development funding by the US Government as well as potential for revenues in several hundred million dollar range for a successful drug upon approval for biodefense stockpiling. Additionally, the market size for a successful treatment for MPox in the developed world is expected to be significant, and together with the rest of the world, globally, it would be a significant opportunity.

We are seeking non-dilutive funding for progressing NV-387 towards regulatory approval for treatment of Smallpox under the US FDA “Animal Rule”. We believe that positive data, if the Phase II of NV-387 for treating MPox is successful, would go a long way towards the goal of approval of NV-387 for Smallpox as well, because MPox is an orthopoxvirus closely related to the Variola virus that causes Smallpox.

We believe our animal model study results for the lethal orthopoxvirus infection via the dermal infection route as well as via direct inhalation of viral particles into lungs are sufficiently robust to generate confidence to anticipate positive outcome from the proposed Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox.

We plan on applying for an “Orphan Drug Designation” from the US FDA for the use of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox. We also plan on applying for an “Orphan Drug Designation” from the US FDA for the use of NV-387 for the treatment of Smallpox.

The Orphan drug designation has several advantages, including waiver of certain PDUFA FDA fees, tax credit for research and development, as well as a seven year exclusivity after approval. The Orphan designation is also expected to enable important FDA engagement and potentially rapid reviews.

We plan on filing IND with the US FDA for the use of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox as well as Smallpox, which are both Orthopoxviruses. As of now, we have not formally engaged with the US FDA for these initiatives.

Benefits of Our Regulatory Approach for NV-387 – Viral-ARI, Viral-SARI

As stated above, the Phase II clinical trial to evaluate NV-387 as a treatment for viral respiratory infections is expected to provide substantial data on safety and effectiveness of NV-387 against a large number of viral targets. Importantly, we anticipate that it will provide data on the effectiveness of NV-387 in Influenza, RSV as well as Coronaviruses.

Influenza is a multi-billion dollar market, and it is also an important initiative for the US Agency known as BARDA. Currently available treatments, namely oseltamivir (Tamiflu® , Roche), peramivir (Rapivab®, BioCryst), baloxavir (Xofluza®, Shionogi, Roche) and others are all known to be susceptible to virus escape by simple mutations. Thus there is an unmet medical need for an Influenza treatment that the virus cannot escape from. We note that in lethal lung infection animal model of Influenza, NV-387 was found to be substantially superior to each of the three approved drugs listed above. This leads us to believe that NV-387 would be able to go through regulatory clinical trials for Influenza viruses successfully and would be able to receive regulatory approvals.

There is no drug approved for the treatment of RSV infection, other than ribavirin which is only used in extreme cases due to its severe toxicity. We note that in lethal lung infection animal model of RSV, NV-387 was found to completely cure treated animal. This leads us to believe that NV-387 would be able to go through regulatory clinical trials for RSV successfully and would be able to receive regulatory approvals.

We therefore plan on further developing NV-387 in a regulatory process towards treatment of pediatric patients with RSV infection, an unmet medical need.

Having a single drug with broad applications enables us to minimize the regulatory development workload, minimize costs, as well as develop rapid timelines due to common or overlapping workload across the various indications. We believe this would lead to significantly robust commercial footing as well as significantly improved returns on investments if and when NV-387 reaches commercialization resulting in revenues.

~~Page~~NV-387 6for ofMeasles ~~106~~Treatment

Measles outbreaks are increasing globally. In particular, USA has seen over 1400 confirmed cases in 2025 with three fatalities⁵. Measles was declared eliminated in the USA as of 2000, with only travel-related cases occurring sporadically. Additionally, Canada has seen an increase of over 20x in measles cases since 2024, with more than 4,200 cases reported by the end of July 2025⁶. In 2024, measles cases in Europe rose to over 32,000 from slightly less than 4,000 cases in 2023⁷. There were approximately 360,000 confirmed cases of measles globally in 2024 according to WHO⁸. Measles continues to be an important disease for children despite a highly effective vaccine.

Measles virus is perhaps the most contagious virus known. Because of this, 95% of population vaccination level is required to ensure population immunity (“herd immunity”). This number has become increasingly difficult to achieve for several reasons. There is an increasing population of immune-compromised persons, as well as persons with auto-immune conditions, that may not benefit from the vaccine. There is also vaccine hesitancy that has increased significantly worldwide since the COVID-19 pandemic. Erosion of population’s trust in public health agencies and officials has substantially increased as well.

Additionally, the current measles virus vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine that dates back to 1968. The measles virus has evolved substantially since then, although this vaccine continues to remain effective, and vaccine breakthrough is estimated to be about 5% of cases. Nevertheless, there are data suggesting that vaccine breakthrough is increasing and in some episodes could be substantially greater than 5%⁹, indicating a partial virus escape.

Measles infection can lead to what is known as “immune amnesia” in some patients. Since measles virus attacks the immune cells responsible for creating and maintaining immunity against infectious agents, a severe bout of measles can lead to the wipe-out of the very memory immune cells that provide protection from previously experienced infectious agents, making the subject fully vulnerable again. This is why, even though measles itself has low fatality rates (estimated at 0.1% to 0.3%), it is important to keep this virus at bay from public health perspective.

In addition, we have a strong and wide drug pipeline developed over a number of years. NV-HHV-1, our drug candidate formulated as a skin cream for the treatment of Shingles, has completed regulatory required safety-pharmacology studies towards filing a US FDA IND for this drug. NV-HHV-1 skin cream could be further developed for the indications of HSV-1 cold sores treatment and HSV-2 genital ulcers treatment. In addition, we are developing a single systemic drug that would potentially be indicated for the treatment of HSV-1, HSV-2 as well as Shingles and Chickenpox viruses. Our other drug candidates are at earlier pre-clinical development stages. NV-HIV-1 has demonstrated anti-HIV activity in the standard SCID-Hu-Thy-Liv mouse model of HIV infection that we believe is strong enough to warrant further regulatory development of this drug candidate. In all, we have been working on over forty different viral disease indications with the purpose of developing drug candidates that are well-differentiated from existing drugs if any against these indications as described further down in this report.

A treatment for measles is therefore an important unmet medical need, as more of the global population becomes vulnerable to measles, and as the measles virus is likely on the cusp of escaping, at least partially, the current measles vaccine.

There is no approved treatment for measles. Vitamin supplementation was found to be beneficial in setting of nutritional deficiencies. Ribavirin, a highly toxic drug, is recommended by CDC for severe hospitalized cases but is not approved.

We performed a humanized animal model study to evaluate the effectiveness of NV-387 in lethal respiratory infection by measles virus. In this study, we found that NV-387 was able to increase the survival lifespan of the lethally infected mice significantly. We believe that this data provides sufficient rationale for a physician to use NV-387 for the treatment of a case of measles under a FDA pathway called the Physician-Initiated IND. We plan on providing the supporting datasets to enable such Physician-Initiated IND process.

With the small number of cases globally, development of drug specifically for measles is not economically viable to undertake. However, an indication for the use of NV-387 for the treatment of measles is viable in the context of a FDA rare disease pathway.

NV-387 for treatment of measles would be eligible for an Orphan Drug Designation with attendant benefits in the USA.

Other Drug Programs

NV-HIV-1 has demonstrated anti-HIV activity in the standard SCID-Hu-Thy-Liv mouse model of HIV infection that we believe is strong enough to warrant further regulatory development of this drug candidate. In all, we have been working on over forty different viral disease indications with the purpose of developing drug candidates that are well-differentiated from existing drugs if any against these indications as described further down in this report.

Our other drug candidates are at earlier pre-clinical development stages.

Our Commercialization Strategy

The drug development process is long and expensive. As of the date of this report, we do not have any approved drugs on the market. We have no customers, products or revenues to date, and may never achieve revenues or profitable operations. We continue to add to our existing portfolio of products through our robust internal discovery and clinical development programs.

We believe we have developed several assets worthy of partnering for further regulatory development and commercialization. We seek to partner and out-license our drug candidates for these purposes. Such partnering may potentially involve initial license fees, milestone payments, and royalty payments to us that could result in an early revenue stream prior to commercial product sales.

Our business plan is based on developing the drug candidates into regulatory approvals, and partnering and sub-licensing for commercialization of the drugs whenever possible. We have begun the process of actively seeking partnerships by retaining a consulting firm, Aagami, Inc., based in Illinois. Aagami specializes in developing pharma collaborations primarily with Indian and Japanese big pharma companies, and also world-wide. We anticipate adding business development efforts in the western countries as we further develop NV-387 ~~towards~~into ~~initiation of~~ a Phase II clinical trial. A Phase II clinical trial is designed for the evaluation of effectiveness of a drug for its indication and is considered a “proof-of-concept” in humans that the drug is likely to succeed in regulatory approvals. Prior to entering clinical trials, we have developed substantial “proof-of-concept” information regarding our drug candidates in relevant animal models.

We plan on seeking non-dilutive grants and contracts funding for our drug candidates that are responsive to bio-defense and pandemic-preparedness objectives, in particular, the drug development of NV-387 for Smallpox under the US FDA Animal Rule. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain grants or funding for these projects or that it will be on terms favorable to us.

Page 11 of 107

Table of Contents

There is no guarantee that we will be successful in partnering our drug candidates or obtaining non-dilutive funding for furtherance of our drug development programs. We plan on continuing drug development on our own all the way through regulatory approvals if successful collaborations are not established. We plan on continuing to finance our efforts using equity-based financing, at least until an appropriate collaboration with a suitable pharma company for one or more indications of our drug candidates takes place.

To date, we have financed our drug development programs using equity-based financing from the sale of our shares in private and public offerings including registered direct offerings as well as “At the Market” (ATM) offerings.

The Nanoviricide Platform Technology in Brief

“Resistance is Futile”: NanoViricide Platform Promises Antiviral Drugs That The Virus Is Unlikely To Escape Even As It Evolves

The greatest “pain” or intractable problem in antivirals development has been that viruses rapidly evolve to evade the vaccines, antibodies, and small therapeutics that are the traditional antiviral approaches. Small changes in enzymes attacked by the small chemical antivirals lead to antiviral drug resistance. Small changes in the virus “antigens” lead to resistance to vaccines and antibodies, because these antiviral approaches are highly specific to the antigens that they are designed against. Antibodies are extremely specific and therefore even minor changes in the virus tend to make them ineffective. Antibodies and vaccines are readily evaded by viruses under the evolutionary pressure in a natural process itself.

We believe this is now common knowledge after the COVID pandemic.

In contrast, novel nanoviricide™ platform technology enables a host-mimetic, direct-acting, antiviral nanomachine drug which the virus cannot escape even as it evolves.

Page 7 of 106

Table of Contents

Our novel nanoviricide class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack and dismantle enveloped virus particles, by mimicking the host-side features that the virus particle lands on as it infects a host cell. In spite of even relatively large changes in a specific virus’s surface glycoproteins as it evolves, the viral glycoprotein continues to retain, and often enhances, its ability to attach to specific host-side “attachment” receptors, and thereafter by transferring to a more specific “cognate receptor” on the cell to gain cell entry and cause infection. For example, Influenza viruses use Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan (HSPG) as “Attachment Receptor” and Sialic Acid (or sialylated glycoproteins) as the “Cognate Receptor.”

Nanoviricides mimic either the attachment receptors or the cognate receptors and present a large number of viral binding sites on each nanoviricide polymeric micelle. Further, the nanoviricide polymeric micelle is designed to “look like” a cell to the virus.

Even as new virus variants develop that evade existing antibodies and vaccines, the variants continue to bind to their cellular attachment receptor(s) and the cellular cognate receptor(s) at the same sites and in the same manner, despite changes in the viral glycoprotein itself. Thus, if we design the ligands correctly, the nanoviricide would continue to be effective even as the virus keeps changing in the field, in stark contrast to antibodies and vaccines that readily lose effectiveness as the virus evolves.

A nanoviricide is a “biomimetic” - it is designed to appear to the virus like the cell surface bearing the sites that the virus binds to. The nanoviricide technology enables direct attacks at multiple points on a virus particle. Since the host-side or cell-side binding sites for a given virus do not change despite mutations and other changes in the virus, we believe that the virus would be highly unlikely to escape our drug candidates even as a virus changes rapidly as it evolves.

Therefore, we believe that our unique host-mimetic approach would result in a nanoviricide drug that a virus cannot escape even as it changes in the field, because it will continue to use the same host-side landing site features (attachment receptors and/or cognate receptors) despite all the changes in its own glycoproteins that bind to those features, if the virus-binding ligands we design for the nanoviricide drug perform as designed.

As described further below, the Nanoviricides Platform provides for modalities that can result in potential cures for viruses that do not establish latent virus infection in humans.

Page 12 of 107

Table of Contents

A NanoViricide is a Nanomachine that Does Not Require Competent Immune System and Completes the Task of Dismantling Virus Particles Without Host Machinery Involvement

There are two principal parts to a virus’s lifecycle. The first is to infect a new cell, called “Re-Infection” in virology (the very first virus acquisition, from an external source, is called the “Primary Infection”). The second is to replicate in the infected cell, make new virus particles and then egress into bodily fluids outside the cell, called “Replication.” Most small chemical drugs are designed to affect the replication part, and must go into cells, raising toxicity concerns or reduced safety margins as they interfere with the cellular machinery. Thus, almost all currently existing nucleoside/nucleotide drugs are toxic by their very nature to varying extents.

Vaccines and antibodies have been regarded as the standard pillars of antiviral medical countermeasures. Vaccines generate antibodies, and antibodies (from vaccine or externally applied drug), block the virus by directly binding to it, but these countermeasures are (a) highly specific and thus readily escaped by viruses, and (b) require the human immune system to be in good shape. Vaccines depend upon the patient’s immune system to generate new antibodies, whereas antibodies depend upon the patient’s immune system for proper destruction of the virus particle that the antibody “tells” the immune system to “take care of this enemy.”

Nanoviricides, in contrast, do not require the patient to have a functionally good immune system because a nanoviricide is designed as a complete nanomachine that completes the task of dismantling the virus particle. This is important because most persons with good immune systems, when infected with a virus, experience only mild infections, and may not even notice symptoms. Persons with an immune system that is not sufficiently active are the ones that would suffer severe viral infections. Additionally, viruses have evolved to block various steps in the human immune system response, thus derailing the immune system once the infection takes hold.

NanoViricide Drugs Are Designed To Act By A Novel Mechanism of Action, “Re-Infection Inhibition”, To Reduce Viremia

A nanoviricide exposes a very high density of virus binding sites on its surface, in contrast to a human cell. Thus, a virus would be more likely to be captured by the nanoviricide than to bind to a cell. As the nanoviricide polymeric micelle interacts with the virus particle, the nanoviricide is capable of binding to the virus at multiple points, and while doing so, wrapping itself around the virus by virtue of a well-known physical chemistry effect called “lipid-lipid mixing.” In the process, the specific glycoproteins that the virus uses for binding to the cell (for example, the HIV gp120, RSV-G protein, Influenza H and N proteins, Coronavirus S or “Spike” protein) are expected to be neutralized and dismantled. It is believed that such attack would lead to the virus particle becoming ineffective at infecting cells.

Therefore, we call this novel mechanism of action of nanoviricide by the name “Re-Infection Inhibition.”

Nanoviricides are designed to work by binding to and eliminating virus particles from the blood stream, just as antibodies do, only potentially much better. Treating a patient that has a viral infection with a nanoviricide against that virus is expected to result in reduction in viremia. Reduction in viremia is an important goal in diseases caused by all viral infections. Nanoviricides are designed to accomplish this using a “Bind-Engulf-Destroy” strategy to eliminate the free virus.

It is important to realize that the flexible, “shape-shifting” nanoviricides nanomedicines show substantial advantages over hard sphere nanoparticles in this antiviral drug application as the nanoviricides enable lipid-lipid mixing with the viral envelope and can wrap around or merge with the virus surface. Hard sphere nanomaterials such as dendritic materials (dendrimers), nanogold shells, silica, gold or titanium nanospheres, polymeric particles (such as PLA-PLGA, others), etc., were never designed to be capable of completely enveloping and neutralizing the virus particle.

NanoViricides Platform is Designed for Safety

We create the polymer that makes the nanoviricide micelle by using naturally metabolizable and safe components. Additionally, the antiviral ligands that we attach to the base polymer are designed using molecular modeling (or “in-silico” design) while using generally safe component chemicals and chemistries.

The nanoviricide polymer structure is designed to directly attack the virus particles outside the cell. Therefore, we believe that interference from such nanoviricide drug with cellular machinery is likely to be minimal, thereby resulting in improved safety over drugs that must enter cells and interfere with cellular processes such as most available small chemical antivirals.

We believe that our approach for improved drug safety is validated by the demonstration of strong relevant results in animal studies of NV-387 for safety and tolerability. In a safety/toxicity evaluation of single injection in rats, NV-387 was found to have a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) of 1,200 mg/Kg/dose, and a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of 1,500 mg/Kg/dose, which are considered to be relatively high numbers. A drug with higher values of NOAEL and MTD is safer than one with a lower values.

Further, in the non-clinical GLP safety/toxicology studies in relevant animal models, NV-387 was found to lead to no reportable observations (i.e. no adverse events) in respiratory and neurological studies in rats and cardiotoxicity studies in a non-human primate model (~~Cynomolgus~~cynomolgus monkey). Intravenous infusion of NV-387 did not have any toxicologic effects on cardiac rhythm or ECG morphology in cynomolgus monkeys. Intravenous infusion of NV-387 did not affect respiratory function and no significant neuropharmacological or behavioral effects were observed in rats. Body temperature was not affected by the drug treatment in either the rat or the NHP animal model study. All of these results are indicators that the drug NV-387 was well-tolerated in these animal models and thereby enabled us to obtain regulatory approvals to begin Phase Ia/Ib human safety/tolerability studies in healthy subjects.

NV-387 was found to be non-immunogenic, non-allergenic, non-mutagenic, and non-genotoxic. As such carcinogenicity studies are not required.

Consistent with the above non-clinical data, in a Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of NV-387 treatment in healthy adult human subjects, there were no discontinuations, there were no adverse events reported, and there were no serious adverse events reported, even at the highest dosage levels in both single dosing and multiple dosing protocols.

Nanoviricides Platform Has Enabled Industry-Leading Orally Available Nanomedicines And Multiple Routes of Administration

We found that unlike almost all other nanomedicine platforms, our nanoviricide NV-387, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of NV-CoV-2, demonstrated strong activity when administered orally in multiple animal models. Most nanomedicines do not possess significant oral bioavailability and therefore they have to be administered as injections or infusions. This oral bioavailability of our nanoviricides distinguishes our technology from almost all of the rest of the nanomedicines world.

We developed two different oral formulations of NV-387, namely “NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup” and “NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies.” The latter is a semi-solid fixed-dose form. The oral syrup enables body-weight-based dose titration as needed for pediatric treatments. Both of these formulations have been evaluated in the Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial of NV-387.

The oral dosage forms are expected to provide wide-spread adoption across the entire population from children to senior citizens, and special cases such as immune-compromised patients outside the hospital. The Oral Gummies fixed dosage form has the advantage that it is suitable even for patients that cannot swallow the usual hard tablets or capsules, because it slowly dissolves in the mouth as it is absorbed.

We have also developed a NV-387 formulation called “NV-387 Solution for Injection, Infusion and Inhalation.” We believe treatment of severe cases that are not yet hospitalized would be best performed by an injection. Hospitalized patients would benefit most from the 100% bio-availability of the injection route, and may be dosed with an infusion if larger quantity of dosing is warranted.

Importantly, the same injectable solution can be readily delivered directly into the lungs as a fog created using standard portable battery operated nebulizer devices. This enables direct and quick action at the most important site of infection by a respiratory virus such as coronaviruses, RSV, influenzas, human meta-pneumovirus (hMPV), certain adenoviruses, and others, that can lead to severe pneumonia.

Thus, the unique versatility of the Nanoviricide Platform has enabled creation of a drug NV-387 in multiple formulations that allow usage across all segments of the population from children to healthy adults to geriatric patients, as well as administration across all levels of disease severity from at-home mild to moderate cases (oral syrup and oral gummies) and out-patient moderate-to-severe cases (injections), to in-patient severe cases (injections and infusions), to in-patient severe-to-morbid cases (infusions and inhalations).

Nanoviricides Represent the Next Generation Development Beyond Classical Immunotherapeutics (Antibodies and Vaccines)

Our nanoviricide technology relies on copying the human cell-surface receptor to which the virus binds, and making small chemicals that are called “ligands” that will bind to the virus in the same fashion as the host side attachment receptor or the cognate receptor (see below). These ligands are chemically attached to the base polymer or “nanomicelle,” to create a nanoviricide.

Page 14 of 107

Table of Contents

When a nanoviricide nanomicelle “sees” a virus particle, several of these ligands associated with the nanomicelle are expected to bind to the virus particle. Once bound to the virus, it is thought that the nanoviricide would wrap itself around the virus, and the interior lipidic chains of the nanoviricide would merge into the lipid envelope of an enveloped virus, thus destabilizing the virus, in a “nano-Velcro” effect. This attack is expected to result in loss of the viral glycoproteins that the virus uses to bind to cell and to fuse with the cell membrane, thus rendering the virus particle non-infectious.

A class of small molecules called entry inhibitors exists. These drugs are designed to bind to the virus to stop it from binding to cells. A very large number of these small molecules must simultaneously attack the virus particle for the particle to be fully inhibited – a task that has very low probability in vivo (“kinetic hurdle”). Also, for small molecules to possess sufficient affinity to the virus particle, they must be designed to be very specific to the viral glycoprotein structures. Therefore, entry inhibitors can be rapidly rendered ineffective as the virus changes.

Antibodies can bind a virus particle at only a maximum of two attachment points per antibody. Several antibodies are required to simultaneously bind to the virus particle to neutralize it, in contrast to a nanoviricide that is expected to bind to the virus at multiple points.

For an antibody to be successful as an antiviral drug, as many as ten to fifteen antibodies must bind to saturate the virus surface. Therefore successful antiviral antibodies are highly specific to the virus glycoproteins and rapidly become ineffective as the virus changes.

The resulting antibody-virus complex then may be subject to the complement protein system in the bloodstream, or it may bind to antibody-receptors on human immune cells. Thus, the human immune system needs to be functional for an antibody to be effective as a “drug”.

In a sense, antibodies only “flag” the virus particle as foreign. In contrast, a nanoviricide would complete the job of making the virus particle non-infectious, without any help from the human immune system.

Page 10 of 106

Table of Contents

Almost any virus that causes pathology in humans is able to do so because it has developed intelligent and complicated pathways for disabling the human immune system at one or more points. This may be one of the reasons why many antiviral antibodies fail in the field use. Additionally, viruses readily escape antibodies by mutations, and, in some cases, reassortment. Such viral escape from antibodies has been witnessed in almost every viral epidemic, be it HIV/AIDS, the Influenza pandemic of 2009, the Ebola epidemic of 2014-15, or the COVID epidemic that is continuing now as a perennial phenomenon. In contrast, despite mutations and other changes, a virus is unlikely to escape a nanoviricides drug designed against it.

It is anticipated that when a virus comes in contact with the nanoviricide, not only would it land on the nanoviricide surface, binding to the copious number of ligands presented on the nanomicelle, but it would also get entrapped because the nanomicelle polymer would turn around and fuse with the virus lipid envelop, harnessing a well-known biophysical phenomenon called “lipid-lipid mixing.” In a sense, a nanoviricide drug acts against viruses like a “venus-fly-trap” flower does against insects. Unlike antibodies that tag the virus and thereafter require the human immune system to take over and complete the task of dismantling the virus, a nanoviricide is a nanomachine that is designed to not only bind to the virus but also complete the task of rendering the virus particle ineffective.

Thus, the Nanoviricide Platform technology can be viewed as the next step in evolution of antibody-based approach, taking into account and eliminating the limitations of antibodies.

Drug Manufacturing and Quality Control Considerations Are Inherent in the Design of a Nanoviricide

Uniform Polymer Nature Of The Nanoviricide Polymer Enables Simplified Nanomedicine Manufacturing Quality Assurance

A major problem in the field of nanomedicines as well as lipid-nanoparticles (LNPs) has been that most nanomedicines and LNPs have been found to be notoriously difficult to manufacture in a consistent manner from batch to batch. This is because of the complexity inherent in making large molecules, the very nature of polymer and particle making processes, particularly in the case of block-copolymers that are commonly employed, and the fact that many nanomedicines and particularly LNPs are mixtures of multiple components.

Page 15 of 107

Table of Contents

The Nanoviricide Platform technology has been designed from the ground up to enable consistent manufacture and control. Thus, the nanoviricide backbone is a “homopolymer” (i.e. it is made up of a single repeating unit or monomer), which enables a naturally uniform structure. This is unlike block-copolymers wherein there is structural heterogeneity along the polymer chain that is generally difficult to control and characterize. In addition, the nanoviricide polymer is designed to dynamically and naturally self-assemble into micelles in a solution. Also, the virus-binding ligands are chemically attached to the polymer. The extent of attachment can be characterized by analytical techniques that we have developed and continue to develop as needed. Further, we use specialized techniques in the polymer processing to minimize any contamination with endotoxins or other foreign particles as well as to remove impurities. The final nanoviricide solutions are sterile filtered using standard membrane filtration processes.

Formulation is Inherent in the Design Aspect of a Nanoviricide

Since developing our lead clinical drug candidate API NV-387, development of its formulations, injectable, infusion, inhalation, oral syrup, and oral gummies (semi-solid form) was relatively quick, accomplished within months, including formulation design and scale-up with cGMP-compliance manufacturing considerations. Similarly, since declaring our shingles clinical candidate, NV-HHV-1, its formulation as a skin cream for topical treatment of shingles rash, and scale-up, and cGMP-compliant manufacture was accomplished relatively rapidly, within a few months.

In the nanoviricide approach, the nanomicelle polymeric backbone itself takes care of the formulation aspects. The nanomicelle is designed to optimize the drug for its intended route of administration, be it injectable, skin cream, eye drops, or even oral. Thus, no specific or extensive formulation development is expected to be required during drug development.

In contrast, formulation development for novel drugs in normal pharmaceutical paradigm often takes years. In particular, formulation development with nanomedicines or LNPs generally takes longer than that for small chemical drugs, due to inherent complexities discussed earlier.

Thus, the Nanoviricides Platform has been designed from the ground up to enable simplifications in processes and analyses that need to be implemented in order to develop robust, reproducible, and scalable processes.

NanoViricide Platform Enables Drugs That Can Be Designed To Block the Complete Virus Lifecycle, Thus Enabling Potential Cure for Non-Latency Viruses

A nanoviricide is made by chemically covalently linking a “nanomicelle” - a globular polymeric micelle with pendant lipid chains inside - to one or more different small chemical ligands designed to mimic the cellular receptor to which the virus binds. In addition, the nanoviricide can carry additional active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), which may be chosen to affect the intracellular virus life cycle. Thus, the nanoviricide platform enables construction of complete virus-killing nanomachines that block the virus from entering the cell as well as that block further production of the virus inside the cell.

We are implementing the nanoviricides platform in different modalities leading to different types of drugs to meet the different challenges of different viruses and enable cures for viral diseases.

Nanoviricides Platform Modality 1: Broad-Spectrum Antiviral “Reinfection Inhibitors”

There are certain classes of cellular features that a very large number of viruses commonly use to get access to cells. As a first step, the virus binds to one so called “Attachment Receptor(s).” This allows the virus to concentrate near the target cells, and enables the virus particles to latch onto more specific receptors on the cell surface itself that are termed “Cognate Receptor(s).” Some viruses can directly fuse with the cell membrane without such a cognate receptor.

The attachment receptors employed by most viruses fall into very few families. One such family is “Sulfated Proteoglycans (S-PG),” or “Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).” We loosely include a number of sulfated proteoglycan types in this “S-PG class”. They differ in exact structures but share a number of commonalities. This family includes proteoglycans that have attached onto them heparan sulfate (HSPG), dermatan sulfate (DSPG), chondroitin sulfate (CSPG), or keratan sulfate (CSPG). Over 90% of known pathogenic viruses bind to one or more of these S-PG class attachment receptors. These viruses include Coronaviruses, Paramyxoviruses (RSV - Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and HMPV- human Metapneumovirus), Dengue Viruses, Herpesviruses, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), HIV, Hendra and Nipah Viruses, Ebola and Marburg Viruses, among others.

Table of Contents

For many of these viruses there are no antivirals available, or the antivirals have limited applicability. Nanoviricides that mimics the host-side S-PG can be expected to be capable of attacking many of these viruses, enabling very broad-spectrum antiviral agent. This is reminiscent of the development of beta-lactam antibiotics starting with penicillin, that have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties because they attack a common feature of a large number of bacteria, the peptidoglycan cell wall.

NV-387, our clinical drug candidate, is the first example, to our knowledge, of such a broad-spectrum antiviral agent. NV-387 was designed using our knowledge of the commonalities in this S-PG class of attachment receptors for mimicking the host-side S-PG common motif that is used by viruses for attachment. A developed small chemical ligands that embody the characteristics of this common motif, and attached them to the base nanomicelle polymer to create NV-387. Thus, NV-387 is designed as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent. After its success in attacking multiple unrelated coronaviruses, we have undertaken a program to expand the potential indications of NV-387. Effectiveness in any of these additional indications would enable direct entry into Phase II/III clinical trials for that indication now that a Phase I clinical trial of NV-387 has been completed, after the final clinical trial report for this clinical trial becomes available.

In July 2023, we reported that NV-387 was found to demonstrate increase in survival upon treatment with NV-387 indicating antiviral effectiveness against a lethal RSV infection in a mouse model study. Subsequently, in May 2024, we reported that in a subsequent study with improved dosing regimen, NV-387 was able to lead to complete survival of the animals lethally infected with RSV, and that the lungs of the NV-387 treated animals did not show lung damage caused by the RSV. In contrast, ribavirin treatment did not protect the lungs of the RSV infected animals leading to their death with a small increase in survival over the untreated animals.

In June 2024, we reported that NV-387 treatment was found to demonstrate increase in survival, substantially surpassing the increase that occurred upon treatment with three of well-known approved anti-influenza drugs, a parameter used for indicating antiviral effectiveness, in a lethal Influenza A/H3N2 lung infection mouse model study. We believe that these results suggest that NV-387 promises to be effective against the “bird flu” influenza virus H5N1 (and other similar H5Nx viruses) as well. In fact, it is well-known that the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses carry a “polybasic site” that possesses HSPG binding capability. Therefore, HPAI viruses can be expected to be susceptible to NV-387.

In the reported year, we have also reported on the antiviral activity of NV-387 in animal models relevant to Smallpox/Mpox (orthopoxvirus) infections, measured by increase in survival in relevant lethal virus-challenge animal models. MPox has caused sporadic epidemics in the Western world, and a more pathogenic strain, MPOX CladeI/Ib is currently causing an epidemic in certain parts of Central Africa, which has led the WHO to declare it a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC). Smallpox is considered a bioterrorism threat. Of note, tecovirimat, approved for Smallpox treatment in the USA, has failed to show effectiveness in an NIH co-sponsored international clinical trial for the treatment of MPOX Clade 1 infections (https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/antiviral-tecovirimat-safe-did-not-improve-clade-i-mpox-resolution-democratic-republic-congo). Therefore, we believe it would be of interest to assess whether NV-387 has effectiveness in MPOX infected patients.

We ~~would~~intend, ~~like~~subject to ~~continue~~financing, to further explore the effectiveness of NV-387 against many other important human pathogenic viruses that are known to utilize S-PG attachment receptors. For example, Nipah virus causes sporadic lethal outbreaks in India and Bangladesh in particular. We would be like to explore if NV-387 can be an effective drug against Nipah and the related Hendra viruses (henipaviruses). Additionally, Ebola and Marburg viruses (filoviruses) are also known to utilize HSPG attachment factor. We would like to explore if NV-387 can be an effective drug against filoviruses. Filoviruses are important for the US Department of Defense as well as from Biodefense perspective. Currently there is no approved treatment for filoviruses or for henipaviruses. Such expansion of use of NV-387 would significantly expand the market size, provide much needed medical countermeasures for public health protection globally, and substantially improve the return on investments (ROI).

Another important class of attachment receptors is Sialic Acids (SA). We are working on developing broad-spectrum antivirals mimicking SA. SA is well known as the initial site of binding for Influenza viruses, as well as many of the infectious Adenoviruses and many other viruses.

It would be very difficult for a virus to become resistant to a nanoviricide that mimics the virus’ attachment receptor. This is firstly because the nanoviricides based on mimicking attachment receptors are broad-spectrum in nature, capable of antiviral effect against not just a specific virus type or subtype, strain or variant, but entire families of viruses (as defined in the virus classification system), and secondly, because, no matter how much a virus mutates or changes, its binding to the host-side receptor(s) does not change.

Nanoviricides Platform Modality 2: Specific, Highly Effective, Antiviral “Reinfection Inhibitors”

Choosing a specific antiviral ligand that mimics the cognate receptor on the host cell that is used by the virus would lead to specific nanoviricide agents that would attack the viruses that use that particular cognate receptor. This technique is what we call Modality 2.

In addition to developing bio-mimetics of the broad-spectrum attachment receptors, we have also developed nanoviricides that mimic the specific cognate receptor(s) used by a particular type of virus to develop highly specific drugs against that type of virus.

Our antiviral drug candidate NV-HHV-1 is based on mimicking the cognate receptor HVEM (“herpesvirus entry mediator”) that is known to be used by HSV-1 and HSV-2. We found that NV-HHV-1 demonstrated antiviral activity against VZV (Varicella Zoster Virus) in human skin patch infection model studies, although it was not then known whether VZV uses HVEM as the cognate receptor. VZV causes chickenpox in children and immune-compromised persons, and its reactivation causes Shingles in adults. NV-HHV-1 has completed pre-clinical IND-enabling studies as a skin cream for the treatment of VZV Shingles. During the development of NV-HHV-1, nanoviricides made with the same or related ligands as the one used in NV-HHV-1 were found to have demonstrated antiviral activity against HSV-1 in cell culture studies as well as in lethal infection animal model studies. Since HSV-2 also uses HVEM as entry receptor, we believe NV-HHV-1 should be effective against HSV-2 as well. In addition to developing NV-HHV-1 for the indications involving infection by VZV, HSV-1, and HSV-2, we further plan to explore the activity of NV-HHV-1 against other herpesviruses such as CMV and EBV as well.

Additionally, we have developed drug candidates in the HIVCide™ Program that mimic the cellular CD4 binding site used by HIV to gain cell entry. Another important HIV cognate receptor is CCR5. The Nanoviricides Platform enables using mimics of one or more cellular receptors attached into a single nanoviricide drug. Thus, this platform has the capability of mimicking both the CD4 binding site and the CCR5 binding site of HIV on one nanoviricide, which is expected to enable the most effective drug against HIV. The only countable number of patients that have been “cured” of HIV were recipients of stem cells that possess a modified CCR5 lacking its HIV-binding region, attesting to the importance of mimicking both CD4 and CCR5 simultaneously.

Attacking the “Achilles Heel” of the Virus- Unchanging Ability of the Virus to Bind to Its Cognate Receptor on Cell

We strive hard to develop virus-binding small chemical ligands that mimic the cognate cellular receptor of the virus, using rational design and molecular modeling strategies and our internal, accumulated expertise. Some viruses use more than one receptor. The nanoviricide platform technology allows use of different ligands on the same nanoviricide drug to be able to attack such difficult viruses.

It would be very difficult for a virus to become resistant to a nanoviricide that mimics the virus’ cognate cellular receptor. This is because, no matter how much a virus mutates or changes, its binding to the cellular receptor does not change. If the virus does not bind to the nanoviricide efficiently, it would likely have lost its ability to bind to the cellular receptor efficiently as well, resulting in an attenuated version with limited pathogenicity.

Nanoviricides Platform Modality 3: Nanoviricides Platform Enables Cures for Viruses that Do Not Become Latent

To date most viral infections do not even have effective drugs, let alone cures.

Most viruses do not become latent in the human body. Such viruses have a relatively simple life cycle: after a virus is transmitted to the person and infects some cells, it replicates inside the infected cell (the replication part), thereafter the new virus copies exit the cell and then infect new cells (the “re-infection” part) thus starting the cycle over again. If both parts of the life cycle can be blocked effectively, then such a virus infection can be readily cured. The Nanoviricide Platform Modality 3 enables such cures.

In this modality, the nanoviricide technology simultaneously enables attacking the external virus particle, as well as blocking the rapid intracellular reproduction of the virus by incorporating one or more APIs within the “belly” of the nanoviricide. The nanoviricide® technology is the only technology in the world, to the best of our knowledge, that is capable of both (a) attacking extracellular virus, thereby breaking the reinfection cycle, and simultaneously (b) disrupting intracellular production of the virus, thereby enabling complete control of a virus infection.

The nanoviricides built using Modality 1 as well as Modality 2 can be employed to add the replication-inhibition capability in this manner.

Table of Contents

NV-CoV-2-R, our other drug in development for treatment of coronaviruses contains the API NV-387-R. This API is made up of remdesivir encapsulated within the belly of the polymeric micelles of NV-387. While NV-387 is designed to directly attack the virus outside the cell, the remdesivir component is known to block the virus replication inside the cell. By blocking both of these pathways, NV-387-R would result in a cure of the viral infection. Remdesivir is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent that has been approved for COVID-19 and has shown strong pre-clinical activity against many RNA viruses. Its clinical activity is limited by its rapid metabolism in the bloodstream. NV-387 holds remdesivir like in a bottle and releases it slowly, thus limiting the metabolism and enhancing the pharmacokinetics and thereby the effectiveness of remdesivir.

Remdesivir, sponsored by Gilead, is a known antiviral drug that has received full FDA approval for treatment of COVID-19 and has received Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) in many countries. We are developing NV-CoV-2-R on our own, independent of Gilead.

We have also developed other drugs based on this concept of curing the viral infection. One such drug is NV-387-Rp, which contains a modified and improved form of Remdesivir. Another drug is NV-387-Ribvp, which contains a prodrug of Ribavirin. Ribavirin is a highly toxic but highly effective antiviral drug. It is approved in the USA only for the treatment of RSV infection as a drug of last resort. However, it is used in the case of many viral infections for which no antivirals are known in severe hospitalized cases. NV-387-Ribvp is expected to enable cures for such viruses by combining the Re-Infection Inhibition activity of NV-387 with the Replication Inhibition activity of Ribavirin, while at the same time enabling lower doses of Ribavirin to stay well below its toxicity level.

Nanoviricides Platform Modality 4: Nanoviricides Platform Has the Capability to Enable Cures for Viruses that Do Become Latent

HIV and many viruses in the herpesviridae family form “latent reservoirs” in human cells making them difficult to cure. HIV and the class of lentiviruses achieve this by directly copying its genomic information into the human chromosomal DNA itself. Two of the herpes viruses, namely HHV-6A and HHV-6B, are known to copy their genetic information into the telomere region of the chromosome, shortening the number of cell divisions the modified cell can undergo, effectively a phenomenon of aging. All other herpesviruses create episomal islands in the cell’s nucleus which are their own “factories” for making progeny copies. The nanoviricides technology platform can be harnessed against these viruses in another different modality that can potentially produce cures. We are working on such cures of latent viruses in our research and development (“R&D”) projects.

Broad and Expanding Pipeline Based on the Nanoviricide Platform Technology – in Brief

Our powerful Nanoviricides Platform technology has enabled us to develop several drug candidates against a large number of different viruses that could be further improved into clinical drug candidates, thus building a very broad drug pipeline that may lead to exponential growth of the Company upon the approval of our first drug candidate. While our first drug candidate, NV-387, is now in human clinical trials, and another one, NV-HHV-1, is awaiting to go into the clinic, over the years we have developed more than ten drug candidates that, we believe, can be rapidly moved into the clinical stage, for nearly forty different antiviral drug development programs. Our progress to clinic is limited by our resources. We anticipate that once our first drug goes successfully through Phase I and Phase II clinical trials thereby proving our capabilities and our Nanoviricides Platform technology, the Company, assuming it acquires the necessary financings, could enter a phase of exponential growth and rapid clinical development of additional candidates thereby transforming the way viral infections are treated.

We have several drugs in our pipeline, enabled by our strong and extensive nanoviricide technology platform. Of these, NV-387 ishas incompleted a Phase Ia/Ib Clinical Trial, ~~wherein~~in ~~the~~ healthy subjects ~~treatment~~with ~~and~~no ~~observation~~adverse ~~phase~~events ~~was~~reported ~~completed~~in ~~about~~both the ~~end~~single-dose and multiple-dose portions of ~~December,~~the ~~2023~~clinical trial, and we ~~are~~have now ~~working~~received ~~towards~~a ~~data~~draft ~~analysis and~~ Phase I report ~~with~~that is in quality review from the CRO and the clinical trial manager, KMPL.

WePage ~~also~~19 ~~plan on further developing NV-387 for the treatment~~ of ~~Smallpox/Mpox as a biodefense application. We plan to focus our Smallpox related work on enabling non-dilutive funding for this development.~~107

We plan on further exploring the use of NV-387 as an influenza treatment in non-clinical efficacy studies that may be required for a regulatory IND Phase II application.

Additionally, we believe that NV-387 may have effectiveness against many other viruses including viruses that do not have current treatments such as Henipaviruses (Hendra and Nipa viruses), many hemorrhagic viruses of interest to the Department of Defense, and others. NV-387 mimics Sulfated Proteoglycans that more than 90% of human pathogenic viruses utilize as the first landing site in causing an infection. We plan on seeking collaborations with labs that can broadly test our drugs against multiple viruses as well as non-dilutive funding for such developments.

We have also completed pre-clinical development of a nanoviricide drug showcasing Modality 2, namely NV-HHV-1. We plan on undertaking Phase I and further clinical development of NV-HHV-1 as and when enabled by our financial resources. NV-HHV-1 is currently formulated as a Skin Cream for the treatment of Shingles.

We also have several additional pre-clinical drug development programs including Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV-1 that causes cold sores, and HSV-2 that causes genital ulcers), HIV/AIDS, Influenza, Dengue viruses, and Ebola/Marburg, that we plan to advance further towards clinical drug candidates as they progress further. Thus, we have a strong and broad pipeline that is expected to continue to result in highly effective drug candidates against a number of viral diseases.

We also have several additional pre-clinical drug development programs including NV-HHV-1 and related candidates for Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV-1 that causes cold sores, and HSV-2 that causes genital ulcers), NV-HIV-1 and related candidates for HIV/AIDS, other candidates for Influenza viruses and Dengue viruses, that we plan to advance further towards clinical drug candidates as they progress further when financial resources become available. Thus, we have a strong and broad pipeline that is expected to continue to result in highly effective drug candidates against a number of viral diseases.

We are now at the stage of clinically harnessing the development of Modality 1 and Modality 2 nanoviricides drugs. To recap, Modality 1 drugs mimic Attachment Receptors and possess a very broad spectrum of antiviral activity that includes a large number of different types of viruses. Modality 2 drugs mimic Cognate Receptors and possess a very strong antiviral activity against a set of specific types of viruses. In both cases, the targeted viruses are highly unlikely to escape the drug by evolving variants. NV-387, a Phase II-ready clinical stage drug candidate, is an example of Modality 1 nanoviricides,whereas NV-HHV-1 and NV+HHV-2 are examples of Modality 2 nanoviricides.NV-HHV-1 has completed IND-enabling studies as a Skin Cream for the treatment of Shingles.

We have also continued R&D on Modality 3 nanoviricide drugs that promise potential cures for non-latency viruses. As examples of this technology, NV-387-Rp and NV-387-Ribvp have shown strong effectiveness against Coronaviruses and RSV in animal models respectively, and are expected to be highly active against a number of other viruses based on the known activities of their components. We plan on developing these Modality 3 potential cures of a number of viral diseases after the Modality 1 and Modality 2 drugs.

Overall, since our founding, we have worked on development of approximately 40 different indications of different viral diseases in a number of drug development programs. In the process, we have built an extensive library of both the (i) Nanoviricides Platform know-how and (ii) the actual synthesized chemical drugs.

Additional details of our drug pipeline can be found in this Annual Report in the section “NanoViricides Drug Pipeline” further below.

NanoViricides Drug Development Process

Our drug programs begin from initial R&D to understand the virus and advance to design antiviral medical countermeasures. Then we chemically synthesize selected potential small molecules to act as the ligands that mimic the cellular receptor(s) of both Modality 1 (broad spectrum) type as well as Modality 2 (specific to the virus family) type, to bind to the virus. Separately we have been engaged in evolving and optimizing various versions of the nanoviricide backbone polymer. We then choose some of the select polymers and attach the selected antiviral ligands chemically to the polymer to create a library of antiviral nanoviricides. We then evaluate these antivirals in cell cultures against the target viruses. We further evaluate selected antiviral ligands from this screen in animal model studies. We then down-select from the effective drug candidates about five to seven candidates for further development based on a number of considerations including the level (or potency) and spectrum of activity, any likely issues with safety/tolerability, drug stability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, ease of manufacturing, ease of formulations, and the desired routes of administration.

considerations including the level (or potency) and spectrum of activity, any likely issues with safety/tolerability, drug stability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, ease of manufacturing, ease of formulations, and the desired routes of administration.

Along the way, we refine the methods of preparation of these drug candidates, from chemical synthesis all the way to formulation and packaging of the final drug product, developing and implementing the Chemistry, Manufacture and Controls information for the resulting drug substances as well as the potential drug products.

The selected candidates then undergo additional studies. Typically about two of them are advanced into IND-enabling GLP Safety/Tolerability studies. One of these is then selected for further evaluation in human clinical trials.

NanoViricides, Inc. is a Fully Integrated Pharma Company

We have strived to minimize the risks inherent in the drug development process. One of the major risks is the manufacture of our nanoviricide drug candidates in a manner to produce consistently quality drugs.

NanoViricides c-GMP-capable Kilogram-Scale Manufacturing Facility for Drug Substance and Drug Products

Manufacturing of drug products for sale, as well as for late stage clinical trials is required to be performed in FDA-registered cGMP manufacturing facilities. Manufacture of drugs for earlier stage clinical trials as well as for IND-enabling GLP Safety/Toxicology studies needs to be performed in a c-GMP-compliant manner.

We discovered early in our development that the existing contract manufacturing operations in the pharmaceutical industry have very limited expertise that would be applicable to our kind of drugs. In order to speed up nanoviricide drug development, save on costs, and ensure quality, we have set up our own manufacturing facility that can scale from discovery quantities of a few grams to clinical trials quantities of a few kilograms.

Page 16 of 106

Table of Contents

We believe we are one of the very few small pharmaceutical drug innovators that possess its own cGMP or cGMP-capable manufacturing facility. With our Shelton, Connecticut campus and pilot-scale cGMP-capable manufacturing facility, we have now demonstrated that we are in a position to rapidly advance our drug candidates into clinical trials, produce the pre-clinical “tox package” batches, and the clinical drug substance batches, as well as the completely finished and packaged clinical drug product batches.

We have produced and plan to continue to produce our nanoviricide drugs for clinical trials in this facility. We have the capability to produce sufficient drugs for about 1,000 patients in a single batch of production, depending upon dosage. This production capacity is anticipated to be sufficient for the Phase II clinical trials of NV-387 for ~~RSV~~MPox, for Viral ARI/SARI, as well as for RSV. In general, the manufacturing capacity is sufficient for all of the anticipated clinical trials of ~~NV-HHV-1~~our ~~skin~~drug ~~cream~~candidates ~~for~~in the ~~treatment~~near ~~of Shingles~~future. Further, this cGMP-compliant manufacturing capacity is anticipated to be sufficient for commercialization of ~~our~~NV-387 ~~RSV~~for ~~drug~~treatment ~~candidate~~of pediatric RSV subsequent to required regulatory approvals thus enabling rapid market entry and future revenue generation.

Our cGMP-compliant manufacturing facility is equipped with Class 100 (ISO 5), Class 1,000 (ISO 6), and Class 10,000 (ISO 7) clean room suites for injectables and other manufacturing operations as appropriate.

We have in-house all the capabilities necessary for formulation, filling and finishing of our drug products in the following forms: (i) oral syrup, (ii) oral gummies (semi-solid form), (iii) skin creams and (iv) ointments. We plan to either employ an external Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) for our injectable drug products for clinical trials, or develop in-house injectables manufacturing capabilities utilizing our existing Class 10,000 (ISO 7) clean room suites with Class 100 (ISO 5) enclosures housed inside them, as and when required.

We believe that we are in compliance with all material environmental regulations related to the manufacture of our products.

NanoViricides State-of-the-Art Nanomedicines Characterization Lab Supports In-Process QC, Release Testing of Manufactured Drug Substance, Drug Products, as well as R&D

We have a state-of-the-art nanomedicines characterization facility in-house in the same campus that has all the capabilities necessary for in-process quality control as well as release testing and quality assurance of our drug products and for supporting our manufacturing ~~operations as well as our R&D operations. We also have a Bio-Analytical laboratory that we use for various quantitative and semi-quantitative analyses.~~

operations as well as our R&D operations. We also have a Bio-Analytical laboratory that we use for various quantitative and semi-quantitative analyses.

NanoViricides BSL2 Virology Lab for Evaluation of Drug Candidates in Cell Culture Studies

In addition to the cGMP-capable manufacturing facilities, we have also brought in-house the capability for testing of our nanoviricide drug candidates against a number of viruses in cell culture studies for early evaluation. We have built a Biological Safety Level-2 (BSL2) Virology Laboratory with attendant cell culture and biochemistry capabilities in our campus in Shelton, CT, certified by the State of Connecticut. We are able to perform drug efficacy and safety studies in cell cultures for multiple different viruses at the same time in this facility, in isolated lab rooms.

We can also study antivirals against certain BSL3 and BSL4 viruses in this facility by developing what are called “pseudovirions.” Pseudovirions are virus particles that cannot replicate, but that have the surface glycoprotein of the virus that we want to study (e.g. H5 for H5Nx Bird Flu, GP for Ebola, Marburg, S for SARS-CoV-2, etc.) on a viral backbone that is a BSL2 compatible virus. We only require and employ pseudovirions technology where the resulting virus particles cannot replicate. The pseudovirion systems allow evaluation of drug candidates that block the entry of the virus particle into cells, such as entry inhibitors, antibodies, and nanoviricides.

We have developed in-house cell culture screening capability for developing drug candidates against human Coronaviruses (h-CoV) including SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirions, VZV, HSV-1 and HSV-2, Influenzas, HIV, RSV, Ectromelia Mousepox Virus (a model for MPox and Smallpox viruses), and pseudovirion technology for Ebola/Marburg viruses, among others. We believe that this internal screening enables speedy evaluation of a much larger number of candidates than external collaborations allow. We believe this has significantly improved our ability to find highly effective ligands and performing structure-activity-relationship studies of the same in a short time period.

External CROs for GLP and Non-GLP Animal Model Studies, Regulatory Affairs Support, and Clinical Trials

We depend upon external collaborators and Contract Research Organizations (“CROs”) for all of our animal studies that include antiviral efficacy studies, safety and tolerability studies, in both GLP and non-GLP practices. We also depend upon external collaborators and CROs for completing our regulatory filings, designing suitable clinical protocols, as well as for conducting human clinical trials, compiling the resulting data, biostatistics evaluations, and preparation of reports for regulatory filings. We plan on bringing some of the regulatory affairs capabilities in-house in the near future in order to speed up our regulatory processes.

NanoViricides Campus – Fully Owned Asset Group

All of the facilities described above, the land, building, improvements, and equipment, are fully owned by NanoViricides, Inc. This forms a significant and stable part of our long term assets, accounting for over $76.58 million in long term assets post-depreciation and amortization as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025. The replacement cost of these assets was estimated, in April 2024, at $18 million by a third party consultant, which we believe is a low-end estimate.

We believe NanoViricides, Inc. is one of a few innovation-led small pharma companies that has or is close to having a fully integrated pharmaceutical operation from drug discovery to drug product manufacturing. This sets us apart in the field by substantially de-risking our development programs as well as enabling time and cost savings in the new drug development process.

~~Fiscal Year 2024 in Review~~

InPage ~~the~~22 ~~fiscal year 2024, we have achieved a substantial level~~ of accomplishments. We have focused on evaluating the broad spectrum of antiviral activity of NV-387. We have been able to significantly expand the potential indications of viral infections wherein NV-387 could be a drug candidate worthy of pursuing into clinical trials, to include the respiratory viral infections RSV and Influenza, in addition to the coronaviruses, as well as Smallpox/Mpox. The results are summarized below:107

~~NV-CoV-2~~Table ~~Phase~~of ~~Ia/Ib Human Clinical Trial; Update on the Status~~Contents

Fiscal Year 2025 in Review

In the fiscal year 2025, we have achieved a substantial level of accomplishments. We have focused on evaluating the broad spectrum of antiviral activity of NV-387. We have been able to significantly expand the potential indications of viral infections wherein NV-387 could be a drug candidate worthy of pursuing into clinical trials, to include the respiratory viral infections RSV and Influenza, in addition to the coronaviruses, as well as Smallpox/Mpox, and now to include Measles virus.

During this year, we have focused on developing a cost-effective regulatory strategy for NV-387. We have reprioritized our development plans based on our resources.

We have engaged in a number of activities necessary for initiating our very first Phase II clinical trial(s) of NV-387, which is for the evaluation of NV-387 as a treatment of MPox. We are developing the Clinical Trial Application at present, and we have already obtained a preliminary approval for our clinical trial protocol for this clinical trial from the regulatory agency in charge, namely ACOREP in DRC.

We have also developed a clinical trial protocol for a novel, adaptive, “basket-type” Phase II clinical trial for the evaluation of NV-387 as a treatment of viral acute and severe-acute respiratory infections. We are now planning this clinical trial. In this single clinical trial, we anticipate generating data on the effectiveness and safety in patients of NV-387 against a number of different respiratory viruses, including Influenza viruses, RSV, Coronaviruses, human MetaPneumovirus (hMPV), and many others. In particular, we believe the data in adult subjects will enable a Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 in pediatric population (children).

We have improved the manufacturing process of NV-387. In doing so, we have approximately doubled the production scale of the drug substance NV-387 resulting in a batch size producing approximately 6kg of the purified drug substance with a 10kg scale feasible.

We have developed and validated improved methods for the quantitation of drug substance related impurities.

We have developed and validated a new and improved method for analysis of NV-387 in biological samples such as animal and human plasma, which is required for pharmacokinetic studies.

We have improved the process of manufacturing the drug product NV-387 Oral Gummies, which we plan to take into the first Phase II clinical trials. We have improved the NV-387 Oral Gummies formulation for organoleptic properties, by improving its color, flavor, taste, and mouthfeel.

We have engaged a CRO, identified and engaged a clinical trial site, and obtained initial permission from the Ethics Committee for the proposed Phase II clinical trial for evaluation of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox in DRC.

We have also performed preliminary work and developed a clinical trial protocol for a first-of-a-kind, innovative, adaptive, “basket-type” Phase II clinical trial for the simultaneous evaluation of NV-387 for effectiveness against a number of respiratory viruses in a single clinical trial.

We have engaged in efforts to obtain non-dilutive funding for several of the developments related to NV-387 that would be of interest to various governmental agencies.

NV-387 Phase Ia/Ib Human Clinical Trial

NV-387 was developed during the COVID pandemic in a very rapid timeframe. In just about a year, we went from design and synthesis to completing the required non-clinical GLP safety pharmacology studies in animals by January 2021. The progress slowed down primarily due to lack of internal regulatory expertise and dependence on external consultants that became unavailable. We successfully completed a Clinical Trial Application for the simultaneous evaluation of two oral drug products containing the same API NV-387, namely NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup and NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies, sponsored by our licensee, collaborator, and clinical trial manager, Karveer Meditech Pvt. Ltd. (KMPL) who sponsored the drug in India, with a local CRO, around September 2022, and KMPL obtained regulatory permission for the clinical trial towards the end of January 2023.

Table of Contents

The Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial began with the first human dosing in June 2023. The healthy subjects part of the clinical trial, comprising both Phase Ia – Single Ascending Dose – Healthy Subjects, and Phase Ib – Multiple Ascending Dose – Healthy Subjects was completed with discharge of the last subject around December 2023. There were no dropouts and no reported adverse events. These results are generally taken as indicators that a drug is well-tolerated under the conditions of treatment in a clinical trial.

The results of this Phase Ia/Ib healthy subjects part of the clinical trial are consistent with the results of the non-clinical studies in multiple animal models in which good tolerability was observed and no respiratory, cardiological, or neurophysiological effects were found.

The clinical trial application for this clinical trial was submitted during the COVID-19 pandemic and for expediency towards use of the drug in the pandemic, a separate part of the clinical trial for the treatment of COVID-19 patients with NV-387 was also proposed. Upon completion of the Healthy Subjects part, the Sponsor and the CRO went through tremendous efforts and obtained regulatory permission to add another site where a COVID-19 wave was going on during January 2024. However, by the time all of the approvals required to start enrollment were completed, the COVID-19 wave was completely gone. After performing a large number of RT-PCR tests on potential subjects with respiratory symptoms, with all tests turning up negative results for SARS-CoV-2, this second part of the clinical trials was canceled due to the inability to find patients to enroll in spite of adding a second site. The second site was subsequently closed around April/May 2024.

~~Page~~Concurrently 18data upload and crosschecking activities for the healthy subjects Phase Ia/Ib part were completed. After appropriate external audits, the drug sponsor is now getting ready to close the first clinical trial site where the healthy subjects part was executed. Thereafter, subsequent to database lock, statistical analysis of ~~106~~the observations of the subjects will be performed. These include a number of parameters including clinical observations, blood chemistry, and specific organ-related blood chemistry parameters, among others.

~~Table~~A draft Clinical Study Report (CSR) for this clinical trial comprising all of ~~Contents~~the studies has been compiled recently by the CRO and it is undergoing quality reviews as of the date of submission of this Annual Report. We anticipate completion of this process within a few weeks and submission of the final CSR to the Indian regulatory body, namely, The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation of India (CDSCO).

Concurrently data upload and crosschecking activities for the healthy subjects Phase Ia/Ib part have now been completed. After appropriate external audits, the drug sponsor is now getting ready to close the first clinical trial site where the healthy subjects part was executed. Thereafter, subsequent to database lock, statistical analysis of the observations of the subjects will be performed. These include a number of parameters including clinical observations, blood chemistry, and specific organ-related blood chemistry parameters, among others. The report from these studies will be compiled by the CRO into a final Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial report.

The relevant Indian regulatory body has adopted guidelines that are consistent with ICH guidelines of clinical trials. (ICH = The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use). We therefore believe that the clinical trial in India would be applicable for the US FDA regulatory purposes as well. We note that the clinical trial was not conducted under US FDA regulatory approval. We plan on conducting a Pre-IND Meeting with the US FDA for the use of NV-387 as a treatment for RSV infection in pediatric patients to discuss the suitability of this clinical trial and the data from the same for progressing into a Phase II clinical trial for the purpose of evaluating the efficacy of NV-387 for RSV infection treatment indication.

Evaluating the Broad Antiviral Activity Spectrum of NV-387 Against Multiple Different Types of Viruses

~~During~~As the ~~reported year,~~Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial in ~~parallel~~India tofor ~~working~~evaluation onof ~~the~~safety ~~clinical~~and ~~trial~~tolerability of NV-387 in ~~India~~healthy subjects got under way, we embarked on determining whether NV-387 could be sufficiently active to be chosen as a clinical drug candidate against many different types of viruses other than coronaviruses. This work has spanned several years, and is cited here because it is important to understand the effectiveness of NV-387 in animal models in order to understand our development program for NV-387.

NV-387 was designed as a Sulfated Proteoglycan (S-PG) Mimetic. Over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to use heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) in particular as an attachment receptor to enable them to infect cells. NV-387 mimics the critical feature that the viruses look for in not just HSPG but other related S-PGs such as Chondroitin Sulfate (used by the Chikengunya virus), Dermatan Sulfate (used by Human Papilloma Viruses - HPV), among others. HSPG is used by almost all respiratory viruses. We therefore focused on viruses that use HSPG for our first studies. In particular, we studied activity of NV-387 in animal models of lethal lung infections by the respiratory viruses RSV and Influenza. Since orthopoxviruses are known to bind to HSPG, we also evaluated activity of NV-387 against lethal infection by the model mousepox virus (Ectromelia) that is used as a part of the US FDA Animal Rule for the development and approval of Smallpox therapeutics.

Activity of NV-387 in Lethal Lung RSV Infection in Mice – NV-387 Oral Treatment Appears to Have Cured Lethal Lung RSV Infection Based on Complete Survival and No Lung Damage

In the first animal trial, we compared the effect of NV-387 given as both injectable and as oral treatment in mice infected lethally into the lungs with RSV A2 virus. We found that NV-387 demonstrated excellent anti-RSV activity, almost matching the activity of ribavirin as shown in the table below. Ribavirin is the only drug currently approved for treatment of RSV infection. However it is used only as a last resort drug because of its significant toxicities, including hematological and nephrological (kidney) adverse effects.

as shown in the table below. Ribavirin is the only drug currently approved for treatment of RSV infection. However it is used only as a last resort drug because of its significant toxicities, including hematological and nephrological (kidney) adverse effects.


Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice - Lung Infection with RSV A2
Treatment	Survival, Days	Increase in Survival, Days	Increase in Survival, %
NV-387, Injection	15	8	115%
Ribavirin, Injection	16	9	129%
Vehicle for Injection	7	0	-
NV-387, Oral	15	8	115%
Ribavirin, Oral	16	9	129%
Vehicle for Oral	7	0	-

Treatment of lethally infected mice in this study with NV-387 or ribavirin led to statistically equivalent positive effect on the outcome of the disease. Since ribavirin is highly toxic, the activity of NV-387 demonstrated in this study is of great significance.

Page 19 of 106

Table of Contents

Importantly, NV-387 given orally at approximately twice the total dose of NV-387 given as an injection produced equivalent results in terms of effect on animal survival. Thus, the oral bioavailability of NV-387 can be estimated, in terms of actual biological effects, to be approximately 50% based on this animal study. We believe that this level of effective bioavailability is excellent and it would permit development of NV-387 as an oral drug for treatment of RSV infection.

We reported on this study in a press release dated July 11, 2023.

Encouraged by the results of this animal trial, we initiated a new trial with oral dosing of NV-387 extended to ten days with two doses on first day for a total of eleven doses. We also increased the dosing of ribavirin in this second animal trial. The results of this trial are shown in the table below.

Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice - Lung Infection with RSV A2

Survival Lifespan and Lung Microhistopathology of Lethally Infected Mice - Lung Infection with RSV A2
Treatment	Survival, Days	Increase in Survival, Days		Increase in Survival, %		Lung histopathology

Ribavirin, Oral	14	6		75%		Immune Infiltration, Pneumonia
Vehicle, Oral	8	0		0%		Immune Infiltration, Pneumonia

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the increased oral dosing of NV-387 led to complete survival of all of the lethally lung-RSV-infected mice, well beyond the 21 day study length, and they remained healthy until final sacrifice as per protocol at 30 days. The performance of oral ribavirin was similar to its performance in the previous trial, and possibly slightly worse, indicating that the dosing level of ribavirin in this trial might be close to evidencing its toxicity.

We reported on these results in a press release on May 14, 2024.

Page 25 of 107

Table of Contents

Further analysis of gross histology as well as micro- histopathology of lungs from the animals treated with NV-387 compared to ribavirin was also conducted.

The lethally RSV-infected animals in the NV-387-treated group showed no lung damage in lung histo-pathology study at all-time points during the study, including at the end of the study. This demonstrates that the NV-387 oral treatment completely protected the animals from the lethal effect of RSV infection. These results are consistent with the complete and healthy survival of the animals.

In contrast, lethally infected animals in the ribavirin oral treatment group showed progressive lung pathology, demonstrating progressive inflammation in the lung tissue which resulted in moderate levels of inflammation as well as infected cells in the inflammatory infiltrate on day 10, increasing to severely infected lungs with alveolitis and severe pneumonia by day 13. All animals in the ribavirin-treated RSV infected group died by 14 days as shown in the table.

These lung histo-pathology results in conjunction with the complete survival of NV-387 orally treated animals support our belief that NV-387 oral treatment led to complete cure of the lethal RSV infection in mice in this animal trial.

We reported on these results in a press release on May 20, 2024.

Based on these results, we have determined to seek regulatory approval for a Phase II human clinical trial for the evaluation of efficacy of oral NV-387 treatment in RSV infection.

Activity of NV-387 in Lethal Lung Influenza Infection in Mice - NV-387 Treatment Resulted in Significantly Greater Survival Improvement Compared to Three Approved Influenza Drugs, and Significantly Increased Protection of Lungs from Virally Induced Damage

We evaluated the activity of NV-387 given orally (twice on first day then once daily, 8 days, total 9 doses) in comparison with the three approved drugs, oseltamivir (Tamiflu®, Roche) given orally (twice daily for 8 days), baloxavir (Xofluza®, Shionogi, Roche) given orally as a single dose, and peramivir (Rapivab®, Biocryst) given by tail-vein injection once daily for 8 days. The survival lifespan results are shown in the table below.


Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice - Lung Infection with Influenza A/H3N2
Treatment	Survival, Days	Increase in Survival, Days	Increase in Survival, %
NV-387, Oral	15	7	88%
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), Oral	10	2	25%
Peramivir (Rapivab), Injection	11	3	38%
Baloxavir (Xofluza), Oral	11	3	38%
Vehicle, Oral	8	0	-

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the NV-387 oral treatment led to nearly 2.5 to 3 three times more increased survival compared to the three approved drugs, by 7 days, whereas the three approved drugs led to a survival of only 2 to 3 days over vehicle-treated animals that survived 8 days.

We reported on these results in a press release dated May 6, 2024.

Page 26 of 107

Table of Contents

We also studied the effect of NV-387 treatment on the lung mucus index, as well as lung immune cell infiltration in this animal trial. Lung mucus index is a parameter that measures the lung congestion and relates to pneumonia symptoms. Lung immune cell infiltration relates to virally induced lung damage that is actually caused by the cytotoxic cells of the immune system that kill infected cells. The results are shown in the table below.


NV-387 Oral Treatment Significantly Protected Lungs of Balb-c Mice Lethally Infected with Influenza A/H3N2 Virus
Treatment	Lung Mucus Index	% Immune Cell Infiltration
NV-387, Oral	53	31%
Untreated Infected Control	138	68%

We found that NV-387 significantly reduced lung mucus index, as well as cell-killing immune cell infiltration into the lungs. The results indicate that NV-387 oral treatment resulted in significant reduction in lung infiltration and lung cell death. Lungs of infected animals treated with NV-387, orally, showed very limited presence of infiltrating cell-killing immune cells that are known to be an important cause of lung damage, in addition to the direct lung damage from infected cell death caused by the virus itself. Further, the overall lung damage was found to be significantly reduced upon NV-387 treatment.

Page 21 of 106

Table of Contents

The results further indicated that NV-387 treatment resulted in significant reduction in mucus load in the lungs. The extent of mucus in the lung tissue was substantially reduced in the case of NV-387 treatment a positive finding. The mucus index value in the case of NV-387 oral treatment was about 53, as compared to the infected untreated animals that had a mucus index value of 138. Mucus is secreted by secretory cells in response to viral infection in an attempt to clear the virus, but it results in reduced lung capacity and eventually can lead to pneumonia. Thus, reduction in mucus load is an important sign that the progress of the viral infection is arrested.

These results indicate that NV-387 treatment led to a significant level of protection of lungs in Balb-c mice lethally infected with Influenza A H3N2 virus.

We reported on these results in a press release on June 20, 2024.

Given the broad range of activity of NV-387 against different types of viruses, we believe that these results of activity of NV-387 against Influenza A/H3N2 lead us to believe that NV-387 likely possesses significant activity against other influenza viruses as well, including high path avian influenza (HPAI; H5Nx Bird Flu).

It is important to note that resistance against small chemical influenza drugs has emerged. The amantadine class of drugs is now largely ineffective. Oseltamivir resistant mutants are known. Peramivir is not used very much for various reasons. In a Phase III clinical trial of baloxavir, over 10% of the patients were found to have the virus evolved into resistant mutants.

Thus NV-387 with its broad spectrum and unlikely escape of virus is expected to become an important weapon in the treatment of influenza virus infections.

Activity of Oral NV-387 in Lethal Intra-digital Poxvirus Infection in Mice Matched that of Approved Drug Tecovirimat; Activity of Combination of NV-387 and Tecovirimat was Significantly Better than Either Drug Alone

We conducted evaluation of activity of NV-~~387compared~~387 compared to the approved drug tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA) in a lethal model of mousepox (ectromelia) virus intra-digital footpad infection in mice.

abrasion, a mode of infection that has been found to be the dominant mode in Mpox virus epidemics in the West. The results are shown in the table below.


Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice – Intra-digital Footpad Infection with Ectromelia Virus

Tecovirimat (TPOXX), Oral	14	6	75%
NV-387-m-T, Oral	17	9	112%
Vehicle, Oral	8	0	-

In this trial, we found that the activity of NV-387 matched that of tecovirimat, the approved drug for smallpox which was used in the recent MPox epidemics in the West. Both drugs led to approximately 75% increase in survival of the animals. Moreover, treatment with an oral co-formulation of NV-387 and tecovirimat together developed by us (that we call NV-387-m-T, “m” for “mixed-in”), led to a significantly increased survival improvement of about 112% compared to either drug given alone.

We reported on these results in a press release dated November 14, 2023.

Tecovirimat (TPOXX), Oral	16	8	100%
NV-387-m-T, Oral	19	11	138%
Vehicle, Oral	8	0	-

In this trial, we found that the activity of NV-387 substantially matched that of tecovirimat, the approved drug for smallpox which was used in the recent MPox epidemics in the West. Both drugs led to approximately 85-100% increase in survival of the animals. Moreover, treatment with an oral co-formulation of NV-387 and tecovirimat together developed by us (that we call NV-387-m-T, “m” for “mixed-in”), led to a significantly increased survival improvement of about 138% compared to either drug given alone.

treatment with an oral co-formulation of NV-387 and tecovirimat together developed by us (that we call NV-387-m-T, “m” for “mixed-in”), led to a significantly increased survival improvement of about 138% compared to either drug given alone.

We reported on these results in a press release dated May 8, 2024.

Activity of Oral NV-387 in Lethal Lung Infection by Measles virus in humanized CD150-knock-in Mice Indicates NV-387 Would be a Drug Candidate for Treatment of Measles for Regulatory Development

We performed a study to evaluate the potential effectiveness of NV-387 in a lethal lung viral infection caused by measles virus in humanized hCD150+(knock-in) mice. Measles requires the human CD150 cognate receptor to be expressed on the immune cells to cause productive infection. Therefore, it was necessary to use humanized mice.

We hypothesized that NV-387 could be an effective candidate because measles virus first binds to the HSPG as attachment receptor, concentrating next to cells to mount an attack by binding to the CD150.

In this lethal humanized animal model of respiratory infection with measles virus, NV-387 increased survival of animals to 17 days on average compared to 7.4 days in untreated animals, an increase of 130%. There were no signs of toxicity from the drug NV-387. Additionally, dose-dependent increase in survival was observed. These data demonstrate that NV-387 could be an effective drug for the treatment of measles.

We published these data in a press release on July 21, 2025.

Development Program for NV-387

With this broad-spectrum activity of NV-387 against a large number of substantially different types of viruses, we have now developed a cost-effective strategy for further development of NV-387 towards commercialization that would potentially enable non-dilutive funding, rapid approval pathways, and early revenues.

Smallpox, Biodefense, and the US FDA Animal Rule

Tecovirimat (“TPOXX®”, SIGA Pharmaceuticals) is an approved smallpox therapeutic. It was mobilized from the US Government stockpile for the treatment of Mpox infection during the recent MPox epidemic. Additional therapeutics that work with Tecovirimat such as NV-387 may reduce the required dosage and dosing period enabling rapid patient recovery.

Smallpox-causing Variola virus is considered a significant biodefense threat. While smallpox vaccines are available, their general public health usage has stopped after Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, leaving persons under the age of about 45 vulnerable.

Tecovirimat is stockpiled by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) under Project BioShield. BARDA awarded an original development and procurement contract worth approximately $435 million to SIGA in 2011, followed by another procurement contract in 2018 upon regulatory approval worth approximately $629 million. SIGA announced in July 2023 that it has received new procurement orders of approximately $138 million for TPOXX from the U.S. Government. SIGA booked approximately $85 million in sales in the first 6 months of 2025 and disclosed additional awards of $27 million to support further development and manufacturing of tecovirimat according to their press release in August, 2025. These numbers clearly indicate the revenue potential for a smallpox treatment.

There is significant interest in the development of a smallpox therapeutic drug that works well by itself, as well as in combination with the known drug, tecovirimat. Tecovirimat has a low barrier of virus escape - a single mutation in one protein can enable the virus to escape this drug, adding to the significance of additional smallpox drug development.

Since human clinical trials are not feasible for the deadly Variola virus, infection of the related animal viruses in their native species is used for evaluation of drug effectiveness under the FDA “Animal Rule.” Variola (Humans), Mpox (Monkeys), Ectromelia (Mice), and Rabbitpox (Rabbits) are some of the closely related pathogenic viruses belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus (with their native hosts listed in parentheses).

The animal-rule based efficacy studies conducted under GLP conditions substitute for the usual Phase II/III human clinical efficacy trials for regulatory approval under the Animal Rule. Additional human safety clinical studies are expected to be required.

The Animal Rule pathway ~~may~~is expected to enable rapid regulatory development of NV-387 as a smallpox therapeutic towards approval. In addition, the data from our Phase II clinical trial evaluating NV-387 as a treatment of MPox, assuming positive results, should enable approval of NV-387 for treatment of smallpox as well, since both are orthopoxviruses.

MPox is a Potential Global Pandemic Threat and There is No Effective Treatment – An Unmet Medical Need

MPox is the disease caused by infection by the virus called MPXV (Monkeypox virus). A first declaration of Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) for MPox Clade II was made by the WHO in July 2022, and it continued for approximately one year thereafter. Spread of MPXV Clade II from African countries into the Western World led to this declaration, which is short of a declaration of a pandemic. MPXV Clade II is contagious but requires sustained bruising skin contact. It has remained limited, driven primarily by sexual contact, in the MSM and associated population in the Western World, including the USA. This ongoing outbreak of Clade 2 MPox has spread to 122 countries and is now considered endemic, including in the Western World.

MPox Clade Ia is endemic in many African countries including the DRC. A rapid increase in cases of MPox prompted the Africa CDC to declare a regional Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) on August 10, 2024. Children were the majority of cases associated with this new outbreak, caused MPox Clade Ib, a new variant of Clade I, unlike previous outbreaks that primarily affected adults. WHO followed with a new PHEIC declaration on August 14, 2024. The virus continued to rage through DRC and spread through neighboring countries. Initial scattershot vaccination effort in DRC using Jynneos did not control the spread of the virus. The PHEIC was ended by the WHO on September 5, 2025, but the Africa CDC has continued the regional PHECS declaration citing new surges emerging in Ghana, Liberia, Kenya, Zambia, and Tanzania, with fresh introductions of the virus reported in Malawi, Ethiopia, Senegal, Togo, The Gambia, and Mozambique (https://africacdc.org/news-item/mpox-still-a-continental-emergency-africa-cdc-advisory-group-recommends/ ).

The MPox virus circulating in DRC and neighboring regions is of Clade Ia and Clade Ib subtypes, with the latter predominant. Clade Ib is more transmissible of the two, which is why it has resulted in a sustained epidemic. The MPox Clade Ia case fatality rate (CFR) is about 3%-11%whereas the CFR for Clade Ib is about 1%. The MPox Clade IIb is the virus causing continuing cases in the Western world, which causes a much less severe disease than Clade Ia/Ib and has a very low CFR, according to CDC. Sporadic cases of Clade I in the Western World continue to occur. Six separate travel-related MPox Clade I cases were reported in the USA that did not result in any further spread, since November 2024, according to the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/mpox/situation-summary/index.html ).

MPox Clade II primarily causes localized rash that is very painful and persists for several days or months. MPox Clade I generally causes rash all over the body, and also inside the oral cavity, which is very painful and also affects the ability of the patient to swallow, causing food intake issues and leading to hospitalization.

A 2-dose vaccine called Jynneos (Bavarian Nordic), originally developed for smallpox (caused by the Variola virus) has been approved for MPox. Jynneos is a live vaccine produced from the strain Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN), an attenuated, non-replicating orthopoxvirus.

While vaccination has started in DRC, overall, the uptake of available vaccines has remained lower than anticipated due to logistical, operational, and financial barriers, according to the report of the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Emergency Committee for MPox of the WHO on June 5, 2025.

There is no treatment for MPXV Clade II or for Clade I, and this remains an unmet need. Tecorimat, approved for smallpox under the US FDA Animal Rule, failed in clinical trial to demonstrate efficacy. Brincidofovir entered a clinical trial for evaluation as a treatment for Mpox in January 2025, and was expected to have topline results available by March 2025. The status of this clinical trial is unknown. Brincidofovir is not applicable across all population because of several side effects and a black box warning as described in its prescribing information.

NV-387 was found to have strong activity against an animal model of orthopoxvirus infection which is a standard model used for both Smallpox and MPox therapeutics developments. NV-387 activity in the dermal infection model as well as the direct lung infection model was at least equivalent to that of tecovirimat. Based on the broad spectrum of activity of NV-387, this drug is not expected to carry the

liability of virus escape by a single point mutation that is known to be possible upon treatment with tecovirimat. NV-387 treatment did not result in any reportable adverse events in a Phase I clinical trial in healthy subjects, indicating excellent safety, unlike the black-box-warning and adverse event liabilities described in the brincidofovir prescribing information.

Thus we believe that NV-387 has a high likelihood of success as a treatment for MPox in the Phase II clinical trial. If successful, the dataset generated would also help towards approval of NV-387 as a treatment for smallpox.

NV-387 Has a High Likelihood of Success as a Treatment of Smallpox – Biodefense Application

Further, we believe that NV-387 is a strong potential candidate for approval as a treatment for smallpox under the US FDA Animal Rule, based the animal study data. If approved, there is potential of significant revenues in hundreds of millions of dollars as well as help with manufacturing and further advanced development of NV-387 from US Government agencies.

The Importance of Treatment for RSV Infection in Pediatric Population – An Unmet Medical Need

Each year in the United States, an estimated 58,000–80,000 children younger than five years old are hospitalized due to RSV infection. Globally, RSV is a common cause of childhood Acute Lower Respiratory Infection (ALRI, which includes pneumonia) and a major cause of hospital admissions in young children. Globally in 2015, 33 million episodes of RSV-ALRI, resulted in about 3.2 million hospital admissions, and 59,600 in-hospital deaths in children younger than five years. About 45% of hospital admissions and in-hospital deaths due to RSV-ALRI occur in children younger than six months old.

There are No Effective Treatments for RSV

Three vaccines have recently been approved for RSV prophylaxis. Arexvy (GSK), and Abrysvo (Pfizer) were approved in May 2023 for use in adults over 60 years of age and both reduced severity of RSV infection. Mresvia (Moderna), an mRNA vaccine, was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2024. Abrysvo also received approval for use by pregnant women at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy in order to confer protective antibodies against RSV to the fetus for protection of infant when born despite concerns regarding premature childbirths. There are no RSV vaccines currently approved for infants and children.

However, there are no effective therapeutics for RSV to date. Ribavirin is conditionally approved only for patients with high risk of progressively severe RSV disease, due to significant side effects including hemolytic anemia and kidney failure. Synagis (palivizumab), an antibody, is approved only as a prophylactic in children and infants at high risk of severe RSV infection, but it is not approved for treatment of RSV infection. Nirsevimab (Beyfortus, AstraZenecka), another antiviral monoclonal antibody, has been approved for the prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract disease in newborns and infants during their first RSV season that requires a single dose to confer season-long protection from RSV infection. None of these drugs are approved for treatment of RSV infection after it occurs.

Market Size of RSV Therapeutics is Expected to Hit $8.73 Billion by 2031

In June 2023, GrowthPlus Reports reported that the market size for RSV therapeutics was worth $1.8 billion in 2022, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.9%, reaching $8.73 billion by 2031 (https://www.growthplusreports.com/report/respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv-therapeutics-market/8519).

NV-387 for the Treatment of Influenza Infections

The market size for Influenza and Bird Flu is estimated at $4.6 billion in 2024, growing to an estimated $5.9 billion in three years, at a rate of 8.5% as reported by DelveInSight (https://www.delveinsight.com/report-store/influenza-a-infections-market? utm_source=cision&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=spr). In case a pandemic occurs, reality may outrun such projections by magnitudes, as was seen with the COVID pandemic.

NV-387 Phase II for Viral Acute and Sever-Acute Respiratory Infections (Viral ARI and SARI)

We are planning a novel, adaptive “basket-type” clinical trial of NV-387 for the treatment of viral respiratory infections. In a single clinical trial, we will be able to generate data regarding the effectiveness and tolerability of NV-387 in patients affected by a number of different viral infections that include Influenza viruses, RSV, Coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2 that caused COVID-19 pandemic),

Page 31 of 107

hMPV, as well as certain other viruses. We can then utilize the data to strategize further development for specific indications as well as for further development as an emperic antiviral therapy. In particular, we plan on utilizing the data from adult RSV patients to further the development of NV-387 as a treatment for pediatric RSV patients.

Strong Market Potential of NV-387

Thus, we believe NV-387 alone may propel NanoViricides towards great success in a near-term horizon. We plan to license or co-develop our various drug candidates against multiple viral diseases to other ~~Pharma~~pharma ~~Companies~~companies. In addition, we plan to seek non-dilutive funding for the development of drugs that are of interest for biodefense.

Our IND-Ready Drug Candidate, NV-HHV-1 Skin Cream for the Treatment of Shingles

We have previously developed NV-HHV-1 and formulated it as a skin cream for the treatment of Shingles rash, NV-HHV-1 has completed IND-enabling studies. We plan on undertaking further development of NV-HHV-1 into human clinical trials once our NV-387 based drug candidates progress further in clinical trials.

Licenses, Patents, Trademarks, Proprietary Rights: Intellectual Property

Licenses from TheraCour

Our drug development business model was formed in May 2005 with a license to the patents and intellectual property held by TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (TheraCour) that enabled creation of drugs engineered specifically to combat viral diseases in humans. This exclusive license from TheraCour serves as a foundation for our intellectual property. We have a worldwide exclusive license to this technology for several field of application verticals with specific targeting mechanisms for the treatment of a number of human viral diseases. TheraCour owns approximately 21% of our voting capital stock and, Anil Diwan, our Founder, President and Executive Chairman, owns approximately 90% of TheraCour’s capital stock.

Our drug candidates are licensed from TheraCour, and are developed by TheraCour for the Company on the basis of several patents, patent applications, provisional patent applications, and other proprietary intellectual property know-how held by TheraCour. Unlike usual pharma industry licenses that are specified for single chemical entities or for groups of similar chemical entities, our licenses are specified for the vertical application field of use, thereby providing us with a large universe of diverse development candidates under the same umbrella. Further, the licenses are held by NanoViricides for worldwide use and can be sub-licensed. The licenses can revert only in the case of a default by NanoViricides. The terms of default are such that, effectively, TheraCour would be able to take the licenses back only in the event that NanoViricides declares insolvency and inability to conduct its business.

We have exclusive licenses from TheraCour for drug candidates derived from and based on TheraCour’s technologies for several viruses. In 2005, we obtained a license from TheraCour for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Influenza including Asian Bird Flu Virus (INF), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), and Rabies. Thereafter, on February 15, 2010, we entered into an TheraCour-Nanoviricides Additional License Agreement (“Additional License Agreement”) with TheraCour granting the Company the exclusive licenses for technologies developed by TheraCour for the additional virus types for Dengue viruses (DENV), Japanese Encephalitis (JEV), West Nile Virus (WNV), viruses causing viral Conjunctivitis (a disease of the eye) and Ocular Herpes Keratitis, and Ebola/Marburg viruses. While herpes simplex viruses were already specified as licensed previously, the term “ocular herpes keratitis” was added to this additional license agreement at the specific request of the Company for clarity only. In addition, we completed the process of licensing the VZV (shingles, chicken pox virus) field from TheraCour in November 2019. We further completed the process of licensing antivirals for the field of human coronavirus indications in September 2021 under the COVID agreement. As in the past, as and when advised by counsel, we will seek additional licenses to verticals of antiviral fields from TheraCour. To date, TheraCour has not withheld any licenses for antiviral nanomedicines that NanoViricides has requested.

We retain worldwide exclusive rights to commercially develop, commercialize, and market the licensed products. We pay TheraCour for the R&D work asked to be performed by the Company to develop these drugs, their chemistries, formulations, and manufacturing processes, substantially at cost, with a certain fee as specified in the license agreements. We may perform initial developmental testing by ourselves and through third parties, such as academic labs, government institutions, contract research organizations, for safety and effectiveness, among other tests. The Company may perform further IND-enabling advanced pre-clinical studies using third parties, such as contract research organizations, usually on clinical drug candidates. We expect to perform human clinical trials using contract research organizations with expertise in such clinical trials. We intend to sponsor the drugs for commercialization activities and obtain the rights of commerce under various regulatory authorities for its own use.

such as contract research organizations, usually on clinical drug candidates. We expect to perform human clinical trials using contract research organizations with expertise in such clinical trials. We intend to sponsor the drugs for commercialization activities and obtain the rights of commerce under various regulatory authorities for its own use.

We focus our research and clinical programs on specific anti-viral therapeutics and are seeking to add to its existing portfolio of products through our internal discovery and clinical development programs and through an in-licensing strategy. To date, we have not commercialized any product.

For all the licensed fields, we control the research and work TheraCour performs on our behalf and no costs may be incurred without the prior authorization or approval by us.

The TheraCour technologies and patents required for execution of our work in the licensed fields and licensed products are automatically licensed to us even if such technologies and patents are developed after the license agreements themselves.

Patents, Patent Applications, Proprietary Rights

Patents and other proprietary rights are essential for our operations. If our drugs are protected by a properly designed and enforceable patent, it can be more difficult for our competitors to use our technology to create competitive products and more difficult for our competitors to obtain a patent that prevents us from using technology we create. As part of our business strategy, in conjunction with TheraCour, we actively seek patent protection both in the United States and internationally and intend to file additional patent applications, when appropriate, to cover improvements in our compounds, products and technology. We also rely on trade secrets, internal know-how, technological innovations and agreements with third parties to develop, maintain and protect our competitive position. Our ability to be competitive will depend on the success of this strategy.

A new international PCT patent application regarding coronavirus drug candidates, PCT/US21/39050, entitled “Self-Assembling Amphiphilic Polymers As Anti-Covid-19 Agents,” was filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) on June 25, 2021. An additional international PCT patent application that builds on this application regarding coronavirus drug candidates, PCT/US22/35210, entitled “Self-Assembling Amphiphilic Polymers As Anti-Covid-19 Agents,” was filed on June, 28, 2022, with a requested priority date of the 2021 application. Our anti-COVID drugs are based on polymeric micelle nanomedicine technologies developed by TheraCour and its affiliate, AllExcel, Inc. (“AllExcel”). The inventors at AllExcel have filed these two broad PCT patent applications that form the basis of our two lead drug candidates, namely, NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R. These new patent applications cover the new technologies, compositions, formulations, processes, manufactured products, and methods of use, among other specifics.

The nominal expiry date for patents resulting from these two PCT applications would be 20 years, after filing and if issued, i.e. June 24, 2041, and could be extended in certain countries under regulatory extensions to as late as into the year 2043, providing a significant commercial runway.

We believe that our drugs by themselves may be eligible for patent protection. We, in conjunction with TheraCour, plan on filing patent applications for protecting these drugs when we have definitive results that enable clinical drug development. We believe this strategy would maximize the available commercial patent life for many of our future drugs well beyond 2043. We intend to file the patent application for HerpeCide before entering human clinical trials, as we have done for our Coronavirus program. The estimated expiry date for the HerpeCide patents, if and when issued, would be no earlier than 2044-2049.

We have previously announced certain important issuances of patents on the TheraCour® technology underlying our Nanoviricides® drugs. A total of at least 61 patents have been issued globally, on the basis of the first two international PCT patent families that cover the fundamental aspects of the platform technology we license from TheraCour. Additional patent grants are expected to continue as the applications progress through prosecution processes. All of the resulting patents have substantially broad claims. These patents have nominal expiry dates in 2026 to 2029.

The patent expiry dates can be further extended in several countries and regions for the additional allowances due to the regulatory burden of drug development processes, or other local considerations, such as licensing to a local majority held company. Many countries allow up to five years extension for regulatory delays.

We believe that the novel compositions disclosed in these patent applications, and additional proprietary intellectual property provide the necessary features that enable the development of nanoviricides. We believe that no other published literature materials or existing patents are capable of providing all of the necessary features for this development, to the best of our knowledge. However, we have no knowledge of the extensive active internal developments at a number of companies in the targeted therapeutics area.

TheraCour may obtain patents for the compounds many years before we obtain marketing approval for them. Because patents have a limited life, which may begin to run prior to the commercial sale of the related product, the commercial value of the patent may be limited. However, we may be able to apply for patent term extensions, based on delays experienced in marketing products due to regulatory requirements. There is no assurance we would be able to obtain such extensions. Patents relating to pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology products, compounds and processes such as those that cover our existing compounds, products and processes and those that we will likely file in the future, do not always provide complete or adequate protection. Future litigation or reexamination proceedings regarding the enforcement or validity of our licensor, TheraCour’s existing patents or any future patents, could invalidate TheraCour’s patents or substantially reduce their protection. In addition, the pending patent applications and patent applications filed by TheraCour, may not result in the issuance of any patents or may result in patents that do not provide adequate protection. As a result, we may not be able to prevent third parties from developing the same compounds and products that we have developed or are developing. In addition, certain countries do not permit enforcement of these patents, and manufacturers are able to sell generic versions of our products in those countries. We also rely on unpatented trade secrets and improvements, unpatented internal know-how and technological innovation. In particular, a great deal of our material manufacturing expertise, which is a key component of our core material technology, is not covered by patents but is instead protected as a trade secret. We protect these rights mainly through confidentiality agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants and vendors. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to an individual during the course of their relationship with us will be kept confidential and will not be used or disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions made by the individual while employed by us will be our exclusive property. We cannot be certain that these parties will comply with these confidentiality agreements, that we have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors.

Out-Licensing to Karveer Meditech Private Limited, India (KMPL)

On March 27, 2023 we entered into a license agreement with KMPL wherein we granted to KMPL a limited, non-transferable, exclusive license for the use, sale, or offer of sale in India of the two clinical test drug candidates titled as NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R for the treatment of COVID in patients in India. KMPL has engaged in further drug development in India including sponsoring of drug candidates for human clinical trials in India and has acted as clinical trials manager for such clinical trials. KMPL shall provide NanoViricides with all reports of the clinical trials and the Company can use such reports for further advancement of the drug candidates with regulatory authorities outside India. In consideration, KMPL will be reimbursed by us for all direct and indirect costs incurred for the clinical trials and development activities with a customary clinical trials manager fee of thirty (30%) of such costs and applicable taxes. Upon commercial sales of any resulting approved drugs, KMPL will pay the Company a royalty of seventy (70%) percent of the final invoiced sales less costs to unaffiliated third parties. Dr. Anil Diwan, our Founder, President and Executive Chairman, is a passive investor in KMPL. His ownership interest does not provide him with control or significant influence over KMPL.

As of June 30, 2024 we sold 1,308,651 shares of our $0.00001 par value common stock at an average price of $2.47 under the Sales Agreement. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $3,120,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

We believe that we have several important milestones, including data from and final reports from the Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial for our broad-spectrum drug NV-387. Additional milestones include filing of aclinical trial application for Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for MPox indication. Anticipated approval of the CTA, and initiation of the Phase II clinical trial for MPox. Interim Datasets regarding the Safety and Effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox, and the completion of the Phase II Clinical Trial for MPox. as Additional anticipated milestones are filing of clinical trial application for Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for viral-ARI/SARI indication. We anticipate approval of this clinical trial application, and the initiation of the Phase II clinical trial.We also anticipate interim datasets regarding the safety and effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of multiple respiratory viral infections.

Additional milestones we look forward to include: orphan drug designation filing to the US FDA for NV-387 for the treatment of MPox, Orphan drug designation filing to the US FDA for NV-387 for the treatment of Smallpox, orphan drug designation filing to the US FDA for NV-387 for the treatment of Measles, Pre-IND Application filing to the US FDA for Smallpox/MPox/Orthopoxviruses, and an IND filing to the US FDA, possibly for NV-387 for the treatment of smallpox under the FDA “Animal Rule”.

We plan on initiating the Phase II clinical trial to evaluate NV-387 for the treatment of MPox as soon as feasible.

We believe that as we achieve these milestones, our ability to raise additional funds in the public markets would be enhanced. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise funds on terms acceptable to it, or at all.

Our drug development strategies may be influenced by considerations regarding the ability to engage into licensing or co-development relationships with other pharmaceutical companies. Pharmaceutical drug development is an expensive and long duration proposition. Our current plan is focused on developing NV-387 for ~~RSV~~MPox indication and for Respiratory Viruses including Influenza and RSV to the necessary stage(s) for potential collaborations, followed by similarly developing NV-HHV-1 for shingles and the follow on systemic anti-herpesviruses drug candidate in the HerpeCide program to the necessary stage(s) for fruitful collaborations. Such licensing or co-development relationships may entail upfront payments, milestones payments, cost sharing, and eventual revenue sharing, including royalties on sales. There is no guarantee that we will be able to negotiate agreements that are financially beneficial to us. We intend to develop our drugs on our own if a suitable collaboration does not occur. As and when needed, management plans to continue to raise additional funds for our continuing drug development efforts from public markets. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us.

Business Development

As NV-387 matures past Phase I human clinical trials and towards Phase II efficacy evaluation “human proof-of-concept” stage, we believe that it should be of interest to potential collaborators for co-development and other opportunities. We have recently retained Aagami, Inc., for business development, specifically to seek licensing and partnering opportunities for our assets and platform technology. Aagami, Inc. is a life sciences consulting firm based in the suburbs of Chicago which offers strategic consulting services, business development support in regions where the client is unable to reach out due to bandwidth, technology licensing services, and business research & market intelligence services. To date, Aagami has arranged and we have conducted meetings with several potential collaborators interested in licensing and partnering opportunities for our assets and platform technology. Non-disclosure Agreements have been signed with some of the parties.

We plan on further enhancing our business development efforts in the coming year. We believe that as NV-387 advances into Phase II clinical trials, which are considered the human proof-of-concept for any pharmaceutical agent, the interest in our assets and technologies should increase.

NanoViricides Drug Programs

We are currently focused on developing NV-387 for multiple antiviral indications that include ~~RSV~~MPox, ~~Influenza~~and Measles as Orphan Drugs, Smallpox for Biodefense, as well as Viral Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI and ~~possibly~~SARI), ~~COVID~~Influenza including H5N1 Bird Flu, RSV, and Coronaviruses.

Expansion of Indications for NV-387 and NV-387-based Modality 3 Drug Candidates

As previously noted, NV-387 is based on the S-PG class of attachment receptor(s) to which over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to bind. We plan on continuing evaluation of activity of NV-387 against additional viruses of interest in order to better define and harness its broad-spectrum antiviral potential.

Our Drug Programs ~~for RSV (Table 2.A):~~

~~Page~~To 30this end, we are focusing on advancing NV-387 into Phase II clinical trials as a treatment for MPox. The information from this clinical trial is expected to help with the development of ~~106~~NV-387 for the treatment of Smallpox, which we believe is an important biodefense need, based on conversations with experts in the field. We plan to pursue Smallpox drug development if non-dilutive funding becomes available.

Additionally, we are focusing on a world-first, novel, adaptive “basket-type” Phase II clinical trial for NV-387 as a treatment for viral upper respiratory infections, agnostic of the disease agent, as well as a treatment for viral lower respiratory infections, agnostic of the disease agent, in our newly developed ARI and SARI programs. The information from this clinical trial is expected to help with the development of NV-387 for the treatment of a number of respiratory viral diseases of importance, including Influenza (and Bird Flu H5N1), RSV, Coronaviruses, human-MetaPneumoVirus (hMPV), to name a few.

We plan on making NV-387 Oral Gummies available for the treatment of Measles cases under the Physician-Initiated IND Application(s) program of the US FDA. We plan on investigating the appropriate route for approval of NV-387 to treat Measles since the cases are very few and a robust clinical trial program is not feasible.

We plan to pursue NV-387 as a treatment for RSV infection towards the goal of regulatory approval for the treatment of pediatric RSV infections once we have sufficient resources to advance this important drug development program. We believe our Phase II ARI and SARI clinical trials will provide substantial information for pursuing the RSV programs forward.

We plan to pursue NV-387 as a treatment for Influenza infections once we have sufficient resources to advance this important drug development program. We believe our Phase II ARI and SARI clinical trials will provide substantial information for pursuing the Influenza and Bird Flu H5N1 programs forward.

It is expected that NV-387 can be advanced into Phase II studies against RSV once the current Phase I studies of NV-CoV-2 drug products (which contain the same API, NV-387) are completed. This will significantly speed up the development of the RSV drug, save costs, and improve return on investments (ROI).

Even though it has fallen off the public sight, SARS-CoV-2 infection and the COVID caused by it continues to cause significant hospitalizations and mortality year over year. Most recently, the annual fatalities ascribed to COVID alone were approximately twice those ascribed to Influenza infections. In addition, residual SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to a large fraction of so called “Long COVID” cases.

Our Drug Programs for Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), Cause of Shingles and Chickenpox:

NV-HHV-1 skin cream for the treatment of shingles rash

NV-HHV-1 is our lead drug candidate in the HerpeCide™ program. It has advanced as a skin cream through pre-clinical development stages and at present it is at the IND application stage, with the design of clinical protocols, clinical site selection, and preparing for clinical trials, in process. Shingles is caused by reactivation of VZV (Varicella-Zoster Virus), which causes chickenpox in children.

Several additional indications in the HerpeCide™ program, including skin creams for the treatment of “genital ulcers” (HSV-2), and for the treatment of “cold sores” (HSV-1”) are expected to follow the shingles candidate into clinical development.

NV-HHV-1 is a Virus-Family-Specific drug candidate based on the Nanoviricides Platform Modality 2. The ligand used therein copies features of the HerpesVirus Entry Mediator (HVEM), which is the receptor used for cell entry by HSV-1 and HSV-2. It was not known whether VZV uses HVEM.

Table of Contents

As part of the IND-enabling development of our topical skin cream for treatment of shingles rash, we have performed a substantial amount of safety and toxicology studies. We performed non-GLP safety toxicology studies in a rat model with two of the development stage candidates first. Both candidates were extremely well tolerated and no adverse events occurred. These safety/toxicology studies along with efficacy studies in the Human Skin Organ Culture model of Dr. Moffat, led us to identify a clinical candidate, namely, NV-HHV-1. We have performed IND-enabling non-GLP Safety Toxicology studies of this clinical candidate in multiple animal species. NV-HHV-1 was well tolerated at all dosages tested and none of the parameters tested were affected. A GLP Safety/Toxicology study of dermal treatment in mini-pigs also found that NV-HHV-1 was well-tolerated as a skin cream. These safety results are in agreement with histopathological observations in the human skin organ culture model studies.

We manufactured NV-HHV-1 in a cGMP-compliant manner at our own facility for its IND-enabling GLP Safety/Toxicology study. The drug substance, or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was produced at approximately 1Kg-scale. Drug products, i.e. different dose levels of the skin cream, were made at scales of 3-5kg batches.

We have conducted a Pre-IND Meeting with the FDA regarding NV-HHV-1 as treatment for Shingles rash, and received a response from the FDA in May 2019. In particular, the FDA agreed that the Company’s strategy for drug substance and drug product acceptance criteria is adequate. The FDA further agreed that the IND-enabling non-clinical studies proposed by the Company are generally adequate. The FDA also stated that the proposed design of the IND-opening human clinical studies appears reasonable at this time. The FDA made valuable suggestions in the pre-IND response. The additional non-clinical studies recommended by the Agency were generally consistent with our then-planned IND-enabling non-clinical studies. These studies have been completed subsequent to the Pre-IND Meeting.

Shingles and associated pain, post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN)

Shingles is caused by re-activation of the chickenpox virus that most humans acquire in childhood. The chickenpox vaccine for children is a live, attenuated virus (LAV). The LAV is not as pathogenic as the wild-type virus. However, this means the virus is present in the vaccinated individual, but remains suppressed by the immune system. In both vaccinated and unvaccinated persons, re-activation occurs when the immune system is suppressed which may be simply because of stress, advanced age, or some other immune modifying circumstances including immune-compromise due to organ transplants or other diseases. Generally, humans in the age range of 50-60 are more prone to shingles, with next reactivation occurring about 10-15 years later. There is a shingles vaccine approved for adults aged 60 and above which is also available for adults younger than that.

Acyclovir-based oral drugs, such as valacyclovir (Valtrex®), are available as systemic therapy for shingles. Intravenous acyclovir is also employed for treatment of various VZV indications. However, VZV is substantially less sensitive to (val) acyclovir than is HSV-1. Thus, the oral drug generally does not result in optimal level of the active drug at the site of VZV viral production, and does not result in significant control of the pathology. The antiviral drugs may be given for a period of 14 days or longer, with as much as 5g of dose per day, due to poor efficacy. In some indications, the treatment has been continued for a year or so. Thus, there is an unmet need for developing anti-VZV antivirals with high efficacy and safety.

Most adults with shingles recover in about 15-30 days from the shingles rash. While the rash is unsightly, its stinging pain is often the debilitating pathology that leads to lost workdays and other effects. Further, 65-70% of patients develop Postherpetic neuralgia, or PHN, a stinging, debilitating pain that lasts more than 30 days, and, in some patients, may last for years.

It is generally believed that PHN results from damage to the local nerve endings and nerve cells caused by the uncontrolled production of the shingles virus. However, VZV has been found to be present in at least 75% of PHN cases in a study, indicating a role for antivirals in controlling PHN. We believe that an effective therapy, such as our nanoviricide against VZV, which blocks progression of the virus to infect new cells and thereby limits further production of virus, would minimize the damage to nerve endings and nerve cells caused by the virus. We believe that this would minimize the occurrence, severity, and time period of PHN, in addition to having significant effects on the severity of shingles rash, lesions, and healing time.

In light of this we have conducted an animal study regarding the effect of our nanoviricide drug candidates against shingles on neuropathic pain in a classical animal model of pain (without VZV infection). On August 7, 2018, we reported that our anti-Shingles drug candidates were effective in ameliorating pain sensations in an animal model of abnormal pain. In this animal study, topical treatment with the nanoviricides® anti-VZV compounds significantly reduced the measures of abnormal pain sensations in a rat model of neuropathic pain. The study was conducted at AR BioSystems in Tampa, FL. A characteristic excruciating pain is a debilitating pathology of shingles presentation. Thus a direct pain-reducing effect of the Company’s anti-shingles drug candidates would be very important in ameliorating the pathology of shingles, in addition to the already demonstrated significant antiviral effect.

pathology of shingles presentation. Thus a direct pain-reducing effect of the Company’s anti-shingles drug candidates would be very important in ameliorating the pathology of shingles, in addition to the already demonstrated significant antiviral effect.

We believe that a skin cream would be the best form of treatment to provide rapid control of the virus and shingles lesions patch expansion, since the shingles outbreak remains highly localized. A skin cream would afford much greater local exposure of drug to virus compared to a systemic oral or injectable treatment.

An effective therapy for patients with severe shingles continues to be an unmet need.

NV-HHV-1 Skin Cream is intended for topical (dermal) application directly onto the shingles rash. It is expected to be useful in mild to moderate cases with limited body coverage of the rash in non-hospitalized patients.

Importantly, NV-HHV-1 has shown broad-spectrum activity against HSV-1 (cause of “cold sores”), HSV-2 (cause of “genital ulcers”), and VZV (the varicella-zoster virus, that causes chickenpox in children and immune-compromised humans, and shingles in adults). We therefore believe that NV-HHV-1 Skin Cream may be useful as a topical treatment of HSV-1 “cold sores” and HSV-2 “genital ulcers” in addition to treatment of Shingles skin rash.

Our other HerpeCide program candidates in progress at present are mostly based on NV-HHV-1, thereby maximizing return on investments and shareholder value.

HerpeCide™ Drug Candidates Based on HVEM, the Potential Common Cognate Entry Receptor for the Nine Human Viruses in the Orthoherpesviridae Family Enable Additional Indications (Table 2.F – HSV-1 Programs, Table 2.G HSV-2 Programs, Drugs with Modality 2, Modality 3):

As previously noted, NV-HHV-1 is based on copying the herpesvirus binding site on the human cellular receptor HVEM. Therefore, NV-HHV-1 is likely to be a potential pan-herpesviridae nature of our anti-HSV drug candidates is expected to enable several anti-herpes viral indications. HSV-1 primarily affects skin and mucous membranes causing “cold sores.” HSV-2 primarily affects skin and mucous membranes leading to genital herpes. HSV-1 infection of the eye causes herpes keratitis that can lead to blindness in some cases. In addition, human herpesvirus-3 (HHV-3), aka varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox in children and, when reactivated in adults, causes shingles. Shingles breakouts are amenable to topical treatment, as are the HSV cold sores, genital lesions, and herpes keratitis of the eye.

Topical treatment is expected to result in extremely high antiviral efficacy. This is because such treatment would provide higher concentrations of the antiviral at the site where the virus is manifesting at its highest levels. Highly effective topical treatments in most of these scenarios remain unmet medical needs. Most of these indications do not have satisfactory treatments at present, if any.

Many of the herpesvirus family infections may also warrant systemic therapeutics (oral or injectable) in addition to topical therapeutics, for greater effectiveness. As demonstrated with NV-387 oral bioavailability, we believe we have potentially orally available drug candidates in the herpesvirus drugs pipeline.

We are also developing possibly even more effective pan-herpes drugs compared to NV-HHV-1 based on Modality #3, i.e. by encapsulating replication inhibitors inside the polymeric micelle “belly” of NV-HHV-1. We have developed derivatives of the well-known anti-herpes drug acyclovir for efficient encapsulation within NV-387 for this purpose. Further, the treatment of herpes virus infections caused by acyclovir- and famciclovir- resistant mutants is currently an unmet medical need. We are developing replication-inhibitors addressing this resistance issue as well, that we plan on encapsulating within NV-HHV-1.

It is known that many of the human herpesvirus infections produce lifelong latent infections. The Modality 3 drugs we are making are expected to reduce the breakout frequency of such latent infections and may eventually cure the infection completely after repeated treatment. This is likely because it is well known that even repeated application of acyclovir-class of drugs in some patients leads to reduction in the breakout frequency or recurrence of herpes labilis (“cold sores”) caused by HSV-1. We do not expect that HHV-6A or HHV-6B infection could be cured by the Modality 3 approach because these two viruses are known to integrate their genome into human cells.

With additional indications in the diseases caused by viruses in the herpes virus family, it is likely that our HerpeCide program could expand into a much broader product pipeline than previously anticipated. We anticipate that many of these new drugs would be variations on our current drug candidate for VZV, namely, NV-HHV-1. This should simplify drug development pathway and also maximize the Return on Investments (ROI).

We are developing drugs against three indications in the HerpeCide program in parallel at present, namely, HSV-1 “cold sores” (orolabial herpes and recurrent herpes labialis or RHL), HSV-2 “genital ulcers,” and VZV shingles. We are developing topical treatments (skin creams or lotions) for these three indications. All of the drug candidates in these three leading indications comprise common chemistry features and are based on the same family of ligands and polymers, enabling efficient parallel development.

We believe that our parallel development of these indications maximizes return on investment and shareholder value.

Of these, the shingles indication program has resulted in the clinical drug candidate NV-HHV-1, for which we are in the process of clinical trial design and clinical site selection, which will be a part of the IND application.

Our HerpeCide™ program has matured towards multiple drug indications. Besides the three indications listed above, modifications of the same drug candidates are anticipated to be developed into (iv) Eye Drops to treat ocular (i.e. external eye) Herpes Keratitis (HK) caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, and possibly (v) Intra-Ocular injections to treat viral Acute Retinal Necrosis (vARN) caused by herpes viruses, primarily VZV, shingles (varicella zoster virus) and HSV-2, a cause of blindness.

In addition, we believe that the shingles drug candidate may be eligible for the PHN indication as well. PHN clinical studies are long and expensive, and we plan to advance the candidate for this indication only after its shingles indication clinical trials are completed. Further, the same drug candidate is expected to work against chickenpox in children. Chickenpox remains a sporadic epidemic disease despite vaccines.

~~Page~~Expansion 40to additional indications is likely, as we perform further studies. It is likely that some of ~~106~~these drug candidates with variations may be able to address diseases caused by the remaining human herpes viruses, namely EBV, HCMV, HHV-6A, HHV-6B, and HHV-7. We believe that such expansions would enable maximization of ROI and maximization of shareholder value.

Expansion to additional indications is likely, as we perform further studies. It is likely that some of these drug candidates with variations may be able to address diseases caused by the remaining human herpes viruses, namely EBV, HCMV, HHV-6A, HHV-6B, and HHV-7. We believe that such expansions would enable maximization of return on investment (ROI) and maximization of shareholder value.

Including the HerpeCide program explained above, we currently have about 11 different drug development programs, attesting to the strength of our platform technology.

We have chosen to focus strategically on the applications of NV-387 which was developed as a pan-coronavirus drug initially, and which appears to have a much broader spectrum of activity.

We believe that a skin cream for the control of HSV-1 “cold sores” (herpes labialis, and recurrent herpes labialis or RHL) is another drug candidate that may be close to entering human clinical trials. We have already achieved strong success in animal studies against HSV-1, as discussed above.

Eye Diseases Caused by Herpesviruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV), Ocular Herpes Keratitis, viral Acute Retinal Necrosis ~~(Table 2.H, Drug Modality 2, Modality 3)~~

We believe that we will be able to successfully develop a drug candidate for Ocular Herpes Keratitis (HK) as well. HK is caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection of the external eye. We are developing this drug as topical eye drops or eye lotion, in order to achieve maximum local drug effect while minimizing systemic exposure. We plan on testing these drug candidates against adenoviruses as well, to determine if the same drug would also be effective against epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC, the severe “pink eye” disease). If the same drug works against herpes virus and adenovirus infections of the eye, we expect this drug may cover almost 99% of all external eye viral pathologies.

We also believe that we will be able to develop a drug against HSV-2 genital herpes. We plan on developing a skin cream for this indication, to maximize local effectiveness.

Viral Acute Retinal Necrosis (v-ARN)

We are also exploring additional indications of its anti-herpes drug candidates that are expected to broaden the pipeline and require limited development work. In particular, certain eye diseases of the retina have been causatively linked to herpes viruses. For example, most cases of viral Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN), a disease that leads to severe loss of vision and can lead to blindness, have been linked to VZV and HSV-2, with some also associated with HSV-1 or CMV infection of the eye. It is believed that, HSV-2 ARN in children and adolescents may result from undiagnosed and asymptomatic neonatal HSV-2 infection, which has reactivated several years later from latency in a cranial nerve and entered the retina. Currently, intravenous treatment followed with oral acyclovir derivatives daily for several months to years and sometimes intravitreal (into the eye) foscarnet injections are therapeutically employed with limited effectiveness, establishing the potential of effective antiviral therapy to avoid blindness as well as multiple surgeries related to retinal detachment. A highly effective antiviral that can be injected into the eye infrequently and provides sustained antiviral therapeutic effect over a long period of time for ARN is an unmet medical need.

Neonatally acquired herpes virus infections, even when asymptomatic, are thought to have led to ARN as late as age 22. There are approximately 2,500 cases per year of diagnosed neonatal herpes virus infections in the USA.

Our DengueCide™ Program

We intend to reengage the DengueCide program if and when non-dilutive funding such as research grants become available to us. At present we have not applied for any grants for this program.

Table of Contents

Our HIVCide™ Program

We intend to re-engage the HIVCide program once the HerpeCide drug candidates enter human clinical trials, resource permitting. Previously, the drug candidates in the HIVCide™ program were found to have effectiveness equal to that of a triple drug HAART cocktail therapy in the standard humanized SCID-hu Thy/Liv mouse model. Moreover, the nanoviricides were long acting. Viral load suppression continued to hold for more than four weeks after stopping HIVCide treatment. We believe that this strong effect and sustained effect together indicate that HIVCide can be developed as a single agent that would provide “Functional Cure” from HIV/AIDS. We believe that substantially all HIV viruses can be cleared upon HIVCide treatment, except the integrated viral genome in latent cells. This would enable discontinuation of treatment until HIV reemerges from the latent reservoir, which may be several months without any drugs. Moreover, we believe that this therapy would also minimize the chances of HIV transmission. These drug candidates are effective against both the R5 and X4 subtypes of HIV-1 in cell cultures. We believe that these drug candidates are “broad-spectrum”, i.e. they are expected to be effective against most strains and mutants of HIV, and therefore escape of mutants from our drugs is expected to be minimal. Certain anti-HIV nanoviricides have already been demonstrated that appear to provide extended viral load suppression for as long as 30 days or more even after stopping the drug, in animal studies. Given the chronic nature of HIV/AIDS, such a drug that has long sustained effect is expected to provide significant benefits to the patient. We believe once a week dosing is possible for our anti-HIV drugs. Anti-HIV drug development is both expensive and slow because of the nature of the animal studies that require SCID mice whose immune system is destroyed and then replaced by surgically implanting and growing human immune system tissues in the mouse body. Due to our limited resources, HIVCide development is further hampered.

Adenoviral EKC

The Company is developing broad-spectrum eye drops that are expected to be effective against a majority of the viral infections of the external eye. Most of these viral infections are from adenoviruses or from herpes viruses. The Company has shown excellent efficacy of its drug candidates against EKC (adenoviral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis) in an animal model. If feasible, we are planning to merge the anti-EKC drug development program and the ocular Herpes Keratitis drug development program, to develop a single drug that is effective against both diseases, i.e. effective against both adenoviruses and herpes viruses. This work is in research stage.

Also, we believe it is possible to ~~grow~~obtain non-dilutive funding for the development of NV-387 as a treatment for Smallpox infection. Our MPox program is expected to ~~about~~provide $8enabling ~~billion~~data byfor ~~2030~~the Smallpox initiative.

The current market size for RSV drugs in the USA alone is estimated to be about $2.6 billion in 2024, and expected to grow to about $8 billion by 2030 at an estimated 18+% CAGR.

The market size for Influenza drugs is estimated at ~$4.6 billion in 2024 growing to ~$5.9 billion in 2027, 8.35+% CAGR, estimated for the USA Market only. The market is expected to exceed $10 billion if and when an anticipated Bird Flu Pandemic hits.

The market size for a single drug that is effective against the triple-demic viruses, namely RSV, Influenza, and Coronaviruses, could easily exceed the sum of the market sizes above, and could be over $14 billion by 2030. Our Ari/SARI clinical trials program is designed towards the development of NV-387 as a revolutionary, virus-agnostic, empiric antiviral therapeutic.

The current market size for drugs for the treatment of different herpes simplex infections is estimated to be approximately $2-4 billion. We believe that when an effective topical treatment is introduced, the market size is likely to expand substantially, as it has for several drugs in the antivirals, oncology, and other areas.

If a highly effective drug against HSV-1 and HSV-2 recurrences is developed, we believe the Herpesvirus Drugs market size would explode, as was seen with Hepatitis C virus.

Severe cases of shingles may lead to hospitalization in several thousand cases in the U.S. every year. In addition, shingles appearing on the face may reach the eye and may cause significant vision issues. In addition to the older inactivated chickenpox virus vaccine, Shingrix®, a two-dose vaccine has recently been introduced. However, due to the severe side effects in a significant percentage of persons taking this vaccine at its first dose, compliance as well as market penetration may be limited.

The outpatient treatment market size for shingles at present is limited, because of the limited effectiveness of existing drugs. An effective drug could expand this market into billions of dollars globally.

The market size for severe cases of shingles may be approximately one billion dollars. These estimates take into account the Shingrix® vaccine as well as existing vaccines. About 500,000 to 1 million cases of shingles occur every year in the U.S. alone.

In addition, the estimated market size for an effective anti-Influenza drug is expected to be in tens of billions of dollars. The current estimate of anti-influenza drug market size is approximately $4 billion. The current market size for anti-HIV treatments is in excess of $20 billion. Other drugs in our pipeline, taken together, are estimated to be several billion dollars in market sizes.

Presently, our focus is on ~~developing~~the Phase II clinical trial for evaluation of NV-387 ~~for~~as a treatment of ~~RSV~~MPox infections. ~~and~~Once ~~other~~this ~~viral~~clinical ~~infections.~~trial ~~Our~~is ~~next~~under ~~priority~~way, iswe plan to focus on the ~~topical~~Phase ~~treatments~~II clinical trial of NV-387 for ~~different~~the ~~herpes~~treatment ~~virus~~of ~~infections~~Viral inARI/SARI. ~~the~~This ~~HerpeCide~~latter ~~program,~~clinical astrial ~~listed~~will ~~elsewhere~~help inus ~~this~~with ~~report~~further development of NV-387 for treatment of RSV infections and other viral infections.

Broad and Expanding Drug Pipeline Enabled by the NanoViricides Platform Technology

As can be seen from these extensive lists of drug development programs and targets, we have been making tremendous progress year-over-year in bringing successful anti-viral drugs based on our novel technology platform into human clinical studies, as permitted by available financing.

We believe that with the human clinical trials of NV-387, we will be able to accumulate the evidence of antiviral effectiveness in human infections, in addition to human safety and effectiveness, that would help us achieve meaningful partnerships with Big Pharma. We are also working on obtaining non-dilutive funding for various programs and projects in our pipeline.

Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for the treatment of Viral ARI and Viral SARI diseases. We believe that as we achieve proof of principle in human studies, we will be able to attract substantially greater market valuation and investor funding for further progress of these drugs towards approval and commercialization. We believe that once we have revenues from commercialization of our first drug or from partnership, we will be able to engage in further speeding up the development of our other programs.

Our beliefs are based on results of pre-clinical cell culture studies, ex vivo tissue-based studies (e.g. human skin patch or a culture model), in vivo animal studies using small animals, and Phase I human clinical trials.

Drug Development Plan

We intend to perform the regulatory filings and own all the regulatory licenses for the drugs we are currently developing. We will develop these drugs in part via subcontracts to TheraCour, the exclusive source for these nanomaterials. With sourcing of materials from TheraCour, we prefer to manufacture these drugs in our own facility. However, we may manufacture these drugs under subcontract arrangements with external manufacturers that carry the appropriate regulatory licenses and have appropriate capabilities. We intend to distribute these drugs via subcontracts with distributor companies or in partnership arrangements. We plan to market these drugs either on our own or in conjunction with marketing partners. We also plan to actively pursue co-development, as well as other licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies, both in the US and internationally. Such agreements may entail up-front payments, milestone payments, royalties, and/or cost sharing, profit sharing and many other instruments that may bring early revenues to us. Such licensing and/or co-development agreements may shape the manufacturing and development options that we may pursue.

Competition

Our products in development target a number of diseases and conditions that include several different kinds of viral infections. There are many commercially available products for some of these diseases and a large number of companies and institutions are spending considerable amounts of money and other resources to develop additional products to treat some of these diseases. Most of these companies have substantially greater financial and other resources, larger research and development staffs, and extensive marketing and manufacturing organizations. When and if we are able to successfully develop products, they would compete with existing products based primarily on:

●

efficacy;

●

safety;

●

tolerability;

●

acceptance by doctors;

●

patient compliance;

●

patent protection;

●

~~Several~~Page ~~companies~~48 ~~have advanced drug candidates for the management~~ of COVID-19. Remdesivir, an antiviral drug, has received full approval, but requires repeated infusions and has limited clinical effectiveness. Oral Molnupiravir (Merck and Ridgeback) has received EUA, but it has very poor effectiveness and has well-known risks of mutagenicity, and is not widely used. Oral Paxlovid (a combination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir tablets taken together, Pfizer) has received full approval but was only effective in the population at high-risk of hospitalizations such as persons with co-morbidities and over age 65. Its use in persons not listed is considered off-label, and a recent clinical report has shown that it has no benefits relative to placebo treatment in these groups. Also in a certain percentage of cases Paxlovid has been shown to cause viral resurgence after achieving COVID-negative status upon treatment. Several antibodies had received EUAs, but all of these have been revoked due to loss of efficacy as new variants emerged. None of the available drugs attack the external circulating virus particles or block the re-infection cycle as NV-CoV-2 is designed to do. Thus, their mode is complementary to NV-CoV-2 and combination therapy with one of these drugs and NV-CoV-2 may yield substantial benefits. We also note that none of these drugs in development attack the complete lifecycle of the virus as NV-387-Rp is designed to do, to the best of our knowledge.107

~~There~~Table are several drugs in the market that effectively control HSV cold sores and genital herpes lesions in most patients. These include the nucleoside analogues idoxuridine, vidarabine, acyclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, and derivatives. However, their efficacy is limited or toxicities are high. Brincidofovir, based on the toxic drug cidofovir, is in development by Chimerix, but certain clinical trials involving brincidofovir have failed to meet the desired end points and have actually shown a greater fatality rate in brincidofovir treated subjects compared to placebo.

We also note that none of ~~dollars~~these ~~for~~drugs ~~each~~in development attack the complete lifecycle of ~~HSV-1~~the ~~and~~virus ~~HSV~~as NV-2387-Rp ~~treatments~~is designed to do, to the best of our knowledge.

There are several drugs in the market that effectively control HSV cold sores and genital herpes lesions in most patients. These include the nucleoside analogues idoxuridine, vidarabine, acyclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, and derivatives. However, their efficacy is limited or toxicities are high. Brincidofovir, based on the toxic drug cidofovir, was in development by Chimerix, but certain clinical trials involving brincidofovir have failed to meet the desired end points and have actually shown a greater fatality rate in brincidofovir treated subjects compared to placebo. Foscarnet is also used for VZV and ARN, but its toxicity is high. FV-100 was in clinical development against VZV, but these clinical developments appear to have been abandoned. In addition, pritelivir, antibodies, and some other drugs are in advanced stages of development against HSV-1 or HSV-2. A gamma globulin was recently approved.

The prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 HSV-1 and HSV-2 is 47.8% and 11.9%, respectively, for individuals aged 14 to 49 years, and increases with age, in the USA, according to CDC. HSV-2 causes a more severe disease that also has significant social costs to the patient. In spite of the existing drugs, both HSV-1 and HSV-2 cause lifelong infection that continues to reactivate at different rates in different patients. Thus, in spite of several existing drugs that are already generic, the market size for a highly effective drug is estimated to be in tens of billions of dollars for each of HSV-1 and HSV-2 treatments.

There are currently no approved drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by VZV, namely, Shingles, PHN, and Chickenpox. Valcyclovir or other acyclovir-class drugs are often prescribed orally but have little effect on shingles because VZV has an ineffective vTK enzyme, as opposed to HSV-1 and HSV-2, that is required for activating these drugs. Cidofovir is used in extreme cases of Shingles, but it is highly toxic, limiting benefit of the drug, limiting drug dosage and causing significant side effects. Several pain relievers are being developed to treat shingles pain and also the PHN pain.

Thus, a safe and effective treatment against VZV is an unmet medical need.

We are currently not aware of any approved drugs for the treatment of viral diseases of the external eye.

The current approved drugs for influenza include the neuraminidase inhibitors Tamiflu, Relenza, and Peramivir, anti-influenza drugs that are sold by Roche, Glaxo SmithKline (GSK), and BioCryst partners, respectively. In addition, M2 channel inhibitors, generic drugs include amantadine and rimantadine, both oral tablets that only inhibit the replication of the influenza a virus have generally become ineffective because of significant viral resistance to the approved M2 channel inhibitors especially in the US. A viral endonuclease inhibitor, baloxavir (Xofluza, Shionogi/Roche) has recently been introduced as a single dose treatment. In its Phase III clinical trial, as many as 10% of patients were found to have drug-resistant virus mutants. Several companies are developing anti-influenza drugs at present. Small chemical classes include neuraminidase inhibitors, M2-channel inhibitors, and RDRP inhibitors, among others. There are also monoclonal, polyclonal, and mixed antibodies, as well as enzymes as drugs in development. Importantly, the resistance barrier for all of these drugs is rather low, and resistant mutants have arisen in the field. Thus, we believe that there is an unmet medical need for an effective and safe pan-Influenza drug that the virus is unlikely to escape.

There are a growing number of anti-HIV drugs being sold or in advanced stages of clinical development. Companies with HCV and HIV products include Gilead, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS), Roche, Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck), in addition to several other pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms.

Some antibody drugs have become available for Ebola/Marburg viruses, but are generally expensive, require infusion, and have poor acceptance. There are no drugs available for the treatment of Dengue viruses, Hendra/Nipah Viruses, and many others that are considered potential pandemic threats.

Two drugs, namely tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA), and brincidofovir (Emergent Bio) have received approval as treatment for Smallpox under the US FDA “Animal Rule” and are currently acquired in the US Government Strategic National Stockpile for biodefense purposes. Tecovirimat has a low threshold of viral escape, resulting from a single point mutation in the viral VP-37 protein. Brincidofovir has a black box warning, with diarrhea and other gastrointestinal adverse events, as well as elevation of hepatic transaminases and bilirubin, limiting the use and applicability of the drug in the general population. Thus there is an unmet need for a broad-spectrum antiviral that the virus is unlikely to escape, and that can be taken by substantially all of the population, with minimal if any adverse effects. We believe NV-387 fits this need and we plan on exploring its development along these lines.

Currently there are two accepted methods of rabies prophylaxis: rabies vaccines and rabies immune globulin, manufactured by many foreign and multinational manufacturers including Aventis Pasteur and Chiron (acquired by Novartis). These accepted methods would be the standard against which our new anti-rabies drug in development will be judged.

Vaccines are in development for many of these viral diseases. Many vaccines have significant side effects. According to the Western Australian Vaccine Safety Surveillance – Annual Report 2021, the rates of serious adverse events with COVID-19 vaccines were at 260-300 per 100,000 whereas the rates for all other vaccines were about 11 per 100,000. The rate of myocarditis/myopericarditis was 0.4 per 100,000 doses of Vaxzevria (Astra-Zenecka), 4.5 per 100,000 doses of Comirnaty (Pfizer), and 7.3 per 100,000 doses of Spikevax (Moderna). The mRNA vaccines appear to have greater numbers of serious adverse events while overall COVID vaccines had thirty-times more events than the other vaccines in general use.

In order to compete successfully, we must develop proprietary positions in patented drugs for therapeutic markets. Our products, even if successfully tested and developed, may not be adopted by physicians over other products and may not offer economically feasible alternatives to other therapies.

Government Regulation

Our operations and activities are subject to extensive regulation by numerous government authorities in the United States and other countries. In the United States, drugs are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern the testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our products. As a result of these regulations, product development and the product approval process is very expensive and time consuming.

Page 48 of 106

Table of Contents

Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries is a significant factor in our research and development and will be a significant factor in the manufacture and marketing of our proposed products. The nature and extent to which such regulation applies to us will vary depending on the nature of any products we may develop. Governmental authorities, including the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities in other countries, regulate the design, development, testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record-keeping, advertising, promotion and marketing of pharmaceutical products, including drugs and biologics, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FFDCA, and its implementing regulations, and, for biologics, under the Public Health Service Act, or PHSA, and its implementing regulations. Non-compliance with applicable requirements can result in fines and other judicially imposed sanctions, including product seizures, import restrictions, injunctive actions and criminal prosecutions of both companies and individuals. In addition, administrative remedies can involve requests to recall violative products; the refusal of the government to enter into supply contracts; or the refusal to approve pending product approval applications until manufacturing or other alleged deficiencies are brought into compliance. The FDA also has the authority to cause the withdrawal of approval of a marketed product or to impose labeling restrictions. The process of obtaining approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and money, and there can be no guarantee that approvals will be granted.

FDA Approval Process

The FDA must “license” a drug before it can be sold in the United States. Other countries have similar regulatory processes, and most are being harmonized under the ICH guidelines (ICH stands for The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use). As of the date of this filing, the FDA has approved other nano-particulate drugs including Emend® by Merck and Rapamune® by Wyeth, as well as others.

Page 50 of 107

Table of Contents

The general process for FDA approval is as follows:

Preclinical Testing

The process required by the FDA before a drug or biological product may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

●

Completion of preclinical testing of new pharmaceutical or biological products, generally conducted in the laboratory and in animal studies in accordance with GLP standard, and applicable requirements for the humane use of laboratory animals or other applicable regulations to evaluate the potential efficacy and safety of the product candidate;

●

Submission of the results of these studies to the FDA as part of an Investigational New Drug application, which must become effective before clinical testing in humans can begin;

●

Manufacturing of investigational medicine under cGMP standard;

●

Performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials according to GCPs and any additional requirements for the protection of human research patients and their health information, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for its intended use;

●

Submission to the FDA of a new drug application, or NDA, for any new chemical entity drug we seek to market that includes substantive evidence of safety, purity, and potency, or safety and effectiveness from results of nonclinical testing and clinical trials;

●

Satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities where the product is produced, packaged and distributed, to assess compliance with cGMPs, to assure that the facilities, methods and controls are adequate to preserve the product’s identity, strength, quality and purity;

●

Potential FDA audit of the nonclinical study and clinical trial sites that generated the data in support of the NDA; and

●

FDA review and approval of the NDA.

Page 49 of 106

Table of Contents

Clinical Trials

If the FDA accepts the investigational new drug application, we study the drug in human clinical trials to determine if the drug is safe and effective. These clinical trials involve a time-consuming and costly three-phase process that often overlap, can take many years to compile and are very expensive. These three phases, which are themselves subject to considerable regulation, are as follows:

●

Phase I. The drug is given to a small number of healthy human subjects or patients to test for safety, dose tolerance, pharmacokinetics, metabolism, distribution and excretion.

●

Phase II. The drug is given to a limited patient population to determine the effect of the drug in treating the disease, the best dose of the drug, and the possible side effects and safety risks of the drug.

●

Phase III. If a compound appears to be effective and safe in Phase II clinical trials, Phase III clinical trials are commenced to confirm those results. Phase III clinical trials are long-term, involve a significantly larger population, are conducted at numerous sites in different geographic regions and are carefully designed to provide reliable and conclusive data regarding the safety and benefits of a drug. It is not uncommon for a drug that appears promising in Phase II clinical trials to fail in the more rigorous and reliable Phase III clinical trials.

●

In case of drugs where large scale clinical trials are not feasible, it is possible that the FDA can grant approval on the basis of robust Phase I and Phase II datasets.

Page 51 of 107

Table of Contents

If we believe that the data from the Phase III clinical trials show an adequate level of safety and effectiveness, we will file a new drug application (NDA) with the FDA seeking approval to sell the drug for a particular use. The FDA will review the NDA and often will hold a public hearing where an independent advisory committee of expert advisors asks additional questions regarding the drug. This committee makes a recommendation to the FDA that is not binding on the FDA but is generally followed. If the FDA agrees that the compound has met the required level of safety and effectiveness for a particular use, it will allow us to sell the drug in the United States for that use. It is not unusual, however, for the FDA to reject an application because it believes that the drug is not safe enough or effective enough or because it does not believe that the data submitted is reliable or conclusive.

At any point in this process, the development of a drug could be stopped for a number of reasons including safety concerns and lack of treatment benefit. We cannot be certain that any clinical trials that we are currently conducting or any that we conduct in the future, will be completed successfully or within any specified time period, or will be acceptable to the appropriate regulatory agency (e.g. FDA in USA, CDSCO/DCGI in India), orACOREP ~~FDA~~in DRC, TGA in Australia, MHRA in UK, PMDA in Japan, EMA and various National agencies in Europe, and others) without further work. We may choose, or the FDA may require us, to delay or suspend our clinical trials at any time if it appears that the patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk or if the drug candidate does not appear to have sufficient treatment benefit.

The FDA may also require us to complete additional testing, provide additional data or information, improve our manufacturing processes, procedures or facilities or may require extensive post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or benefits of our product candidates if it determines that our new drug application does not contain adequate evidence of the safety and benefits of the drug. In addition, even if the FDA approves a drug, it could limit the uses of the drug. The FDA can withdraw approvals if it does not believe that we are complying with regulatory standards or if problems are uncovered or occur after approval.

United States Review and Approval Process

After the completion of clinical trials of a product candidate, FDA approval of a NDA must be obtained before commercial marketing of the product. The NDA must include results of product development, laboratory and animal studies, human trials, information on the manufacture and composition of the product, proposed labeling and other relevant information as well as a significant user fee. The FDA may grant deferrals for submission of data, or full or partial waivers. The testing and approval processes require substantial time and effort and there can be no assurance that the FDA will accept the NDA for filing and, even if filed, that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.

Page 50 of 106

Table of Contents

The FDA may refuse to file any NDA that it deems incomplete or not properly reviewable at the time of submission and may request additional information. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA reviews the NDA to determine, among other things, whether the proposed product is safe, potent, and/or effective for its intended use, and has an acceptable purity profile, and whether the product is safe and effective for its intended use, and in each case, whether the product is being manufactured in accordance with cGMP or GTP, if applicable. During the product approval process, the FDA also will determine whether a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, is necessary to assure the safe use of the product. If the FDA concludes a REMS is needed, the sponsor of the NDA must submit a proposed REMS. The FDA will not approve a NDA without a REMS, if required.

Notwithstanding the submission of relevant data and information, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA does not satisfy its regulatory criteria for approval and deny approval via a letter detailing such deficiencies. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret data differently than we interpret the same data. If the FDA denies an application, the applicant may either resubmit the NDA, addressing all of the deficiencies identified by the FDA, or withdraw the application.

Expedited FDA Review Programs

The FDA has four expedited program designations -Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, Accelerated Approval, and Priority Review - to facilitate and expedite development and review of new drugs to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of serious or life-threatening conditions.

Page 52 of 107

Table of Contents

The Fast Track program that is intended to expedite or facilitate the process for reviewing new drug products that treat a serious condition and fill an unmet medical need. Fast Track designation applies to the combination of the product and the specific indication for which it is being studied. In Fast Track, the FDA may consider for “rolling review” of sections of the IND on a rolling basis before the complete application is submitted. Once a drug receives Fast Track designation, early and frequent communication between the FDA and a drug company is encouraged throughout the entire drug development and review process. The frequency of communication assures that questions and issues are resolved quickly, often leading to earlier drug approval and access by patients.

The FDA may also accelerate the approval of a designated drug through the Breakthrough Therapy designation by expediting the development and review of drugs that are intended to treat a serious condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy on one or more clinically significant endpoints. If the FDA designates a drug as a breakthrough therapy, the drug is eligible for all Fast Track designation features, intensive guidance on an efficient drug development program, potentially beginning at Phase I and organizational commitment involving senior managers regarding the development of the drug to ensure that the development program and the design of the clinical trials is as efficient as practicable.

The Accelerated Approval designation allows the FDA to approve a product based on an effect on a surrogate or intermediate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict a product’s clinical benefit and generally requires the manufacturer to conduct required post-approval confirmatory trials to verify the clinical benefit.

The Priority Review designation means that the FDA’s goal is to take action on the application within six months, compared to ten months under standard review.

Fast Track designation, Priority Review, Accelerated Approval and Breakthrough Therapy designations do not change the standards for approval but may expedite the development or approval process.

Orphan Drug Designation

The Orphan Drug Act provides granting special status to drugs or biological products for rare diseases and conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 persons. The first developer to receive FDA marketing approval for an orphan drug is entitled to a seven-year exclusive marketing period in the United States for that product where the FDA will not approve another version of the same product. However, a drug that the FDA considers to be clinically superior to, or different from, another approved orphan drug, even though for the same indication, may also obtain approval in the United States during the seven-year exclusive marketing period. In addition, if the holder of the orphan drug designation cannot assure the availability of sufficient quantities of their orphan drugs to meet the needs of patients, the FDA could also grant approval to another product.

Page 51 of 106

Table of Contents

United States Post-Approval Requirements

Any products for which we receive FDA approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other things, record-keeping requirements, reporting of adverse experiences with the product, providing the FDA with updated safety and efficacy information, product sampling and distribution requirements, and complying with FDA promotion and advertising requirements, which include, among others, standards for direct-to-consumer advertising, restrictions on promoting products for uses or in patient populations that are not described in the product’s approved uses, known as off-label use, limitations on industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities and requirements for promotional activities involving the internet.

In addition, quality control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to applicable manufacturing requirements after approval to ensure the long-term stability of the product. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the production of some, or all, clinical and commercial quantities of our products in accordance with cGMP and GTP regulations, as applicable. Manufacturers and other entities involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved products are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with cGMP, GTP and other laws.

Page 53 of 107

Table of Contents

The FDA also may require post-marketing testing, known as Phase 4 testing, and surveillance to monitor the effects of an approved product. Discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or the failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements can have negative consequences, including adverse publicity, judicial or administrative enforcement, warning letters from the FDA, mandated corrective advertising or communications with doctors, and civil or criminal penalties, among others. Also, new government requirements, including those resulting from new legislation, may be established, or the FDA’s policies may change, which could delay or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates under development.

Regulatory Review and Approval Process in India

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) under Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India is the National Regulatory Authority (NRA) of India. The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) heads CDSCO. The Drugs & Cosmetics Act,1940 and rules 1945 have entrusted various responsibilities to central & state regulators for regulation of drugs & cosmetics. It envisages uniform implementation of the provisions of the Act & Rules made thereunder for ensuring the safety, rights and well-being of the patients by regulating the drugs and cosmetics. Under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, CDSCO is responsible for approval of Drugs, Conduct of Clinical Trials, laying down the standards for Drugs, control over the quality of imported Drugs in the country and coordination of the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice with a view of bring about the uniformity in the enforcement of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.

The regulatory process in India operates under ICH guidelines. After submission of a Clinical trial Application, the Office of DCGI reviews the application, and usually holds a briefing meeting with the Drug Sponsor. If satisfactory, the DCGI would approve the clinical trial application, generally with conditions that have to be satisfied prior to actually beginning dosing. There are requirements for interim reports as well as there are provisions for unannounced inspections. After completion of a given phase of clinical trial, the drug sponsor would then prepare a report and file for the next phase of clinical trials. In case of a health emergency, applications may be processed in an expedited timeframe and approvals for commercial use of the drug may be provided at the end of Phase II with requirements for further data collection. Normally, the new drug approval application would be submitted after completion of a Phase III clinical trial. Thereafter, the CDSCO and expert committees organized by the CDSCO will review the application for approval or denial.

Other Foreign Regulatory Review and Approval

Whether or not FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product by comparable regulatory authorities in other countries will be necessary prior to commencement of marketing the product in such countries. The regulatory authorities in each country may impose their own requirements and may refuse to grant an approval, or may require additional data before granting it, even though the relevant product has been approved by the FDA or another authority. As with the FDA, the regulatory authorities in the European Union, China and other developed countries have lengthy approval processes for pharmaceutical products. The process for gaining approval in particular countries varies, but generally follows a similar sequence to that described for FDA approval.

Page 52 of 106

Table of Contents

In the European Union, there is a centralized approval procedure that authorizes marketing of a product in all countries in the European Union (which includes most major countries in Europe). If this procedure is not used, under a decentralized system, an approval in one country of the European Union can be used to obtain approval in another country of the European Union under a simplified application process at present. After approval under the centralized procedure, pricing and reimbursement approvals are also required in most countries. These procedures are undergoing revision and modification at present. We have never received approval for a product in the European Union to date.

We must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in foreign countries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of such product in those countries. The requirements and processes governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. In addition, we, and our partners, may be subject to foreign laws and regulations and other compliance requirements, including, without limitation, anti-kickback laws, false claims laws and other fraud and abuse laws, as well as laws and regulations requiring transparency of pricing and marketing information and governing the privacy and security of personal information. If we, or our partners, fail to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we may be subject to, among other things, fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

Page 54 of 107

Table of Contents

Other Health Care Laws

In the event any of proposed products are ever approved for marketing, we may also be subject to healthcare regulation and enforcement by the federal government and the states and foreign governments where we may market our product candidates, if approved. These laws include, without limitation, state and federal anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, physician sunshine and privacy and security laws and regulations.

In addition to obtaining FDA approval for each drug, we obtain FDA approval of the manufacturing facilities for any drug we sell, including those of companies who manufacture our drugs for us as well as our own and these facilities are subject to periodic inspections by the FDA. The FDA must also approve foreign establishments that manufacture products to be sold in the United States and these facilities are subject to periodic regulatory inspection.

We are also subject to other federal, state and local regulations regarding workplace safety and protection of the environment. We use hazardous materials, chemicals, viruses and various radioactive compounds in our research and development activities and cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. Any misuse or accidents involving these materials could lead to significant litigation, fines and penalties.

Time Schedules, Milestones and Development Costs

In the upcoming fiscal year, we hope to meet several important milestones towards establishing human effectiveness proof-of-concept for the Nanoviricides Platform:

We also plan on filing a Pre-IND application for RSV treatment for Phase II human clinical trials for NV-387 as a treatment of RSV infection, in the USA, in the context of the Phase II ARI/SARI in India, to evaluate how the data can be brought into the USA FDA IND application.

After the RSV program clinical trials are in progress, we plan on completing an effective clinical trial plan for our Shingles drug candidate to reengage human clinical trials for the shingles treatment program.

All of these studies are dependent on external collaborators providing available time slots for us. Thus, there can be delays in achieving the milestones that are beyond our control.

~~Page~~We 53believe we have sufficient financing to complete the Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial of ~~106~~API NV-387 and submission of the full clinical trial report. We believe we have sufficient financing to complete the Phase II human clinical trial of API NV-387 for the treatment of MPox based on the budgets we have received and planned for. There is no assurance we will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to fund complete drug development through approval. We cannot provide assurance that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate. We have estimated approximately $1,000,000 for the Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for MPox indication. The total cost of the Phase II trial could be significantly more. We have not received a budget for the proposed Phase II Clinical Trial of NV-387 for the Treatment of ARI/SARI as of now. We may need to raise additional funds to support continued program development through Phase II and Phase III studies at least and revenue realization.

We believe we have sufficient financing to complete the current Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial of API NV-387 with a full report based on currently available finances. There is no assurance we will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to fund complete drug development through approval. We cannot provide assurance that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate. We have estimated approximately $1,500,000 for the Phase II clinical trial for RSV indication. The total cost of the Phase II trial could be significantly more. If so, we may need to raise additional funds to support continued program development through Phase II and Phase III studies at least and revenue realization.

Drug Development Status

The Company has limited experience with pharmaceutical drug development. Thus, our budget estimates are not based on experience, but rather based on advice given by our associates and consultants. As such, these budget estimates may not be accurate. In addition, the actual work to be performed is not known at this time, other than a broad outline, as is normal with any scientific work. As further work is performed, additional work may become necessary or change in plans or workload may occur. Such changes may have an adverse impact on our estimated budget, and our projected timeline of drug development.

The work-plan we have developed for the next twelve months is expected to enable us to complete the Phase ~~Ia/Ib~~II clinical trial of API NV-387 ~~with~~for athe ~~final~~treatment ~~report~~of MPox and, ~~provided~~to ~~that~~begin ~~our~~Phase II human clinical ~~plan~~trial isof ~~approved~~NV-387 byfor the ~~regulatory~~treatment ~~agency~~of Viral ARI/SARI, towhich ~~begin~~will ~~Phase~~include IIpatients with Influenza, RSV, Coronavirus, hMPV, and several other human ~~clinical~~respiratory ~~trials~~viral ~~for~~infections ~~RSV~~in ~~indication~~different enrolment numbers. Given our dependence on external collaborators for the regulatory affairs, IND-enabling studies and study reports, Clinical Trial CROs and other services providers, we cannot provide time estimates. Our work-plan is extremely dependent on obtaining financing, and on external factors, such as collaborations, and ~~unanticipated~~may ~~delays~~be ~~can~~affected ~~occur~~by unanticipated delays. We are experiencing extreme staffing constraints as well as ~~facility~~financial constraints at present. We plan on applying for grants and ~~resources~~contracts ~~constraints~~in order to obtain non-dilutive financing for some of our programs that we consider are eligible for governmental support. We plan on raising financing via sale of equity and public and private placements of our stock to finance our workplan. We have accesss to a line of credit of up to $3 million provided by our founder and President, Anil R. Diwan; we have not drawn on this credit line at present. We note as a risk factor that these resource constraints may cause further delays in our estimated timelines.

We ~~have~~believe ~~taken~~we onhave overcome the most important risk in nanomedicines, that of enabling cGMP manufacture, to achieve consistent product from batch to batch, ~~“head~~and ~~on”~~scaleability sochallenges toof ~~speak~~nanomedicines. Having established critical quality parameters in our manufacturing processes and having accomplished cGMP-compliant scale-up of manufacturing from starting materials to API to formulation to fill-finish-packaged-labeled drug products, we believe that we have minimized the risk related to manufacturing capabilities.

During the scale up and optimization of our production level operations, we continue to work on a number of different polymer backbones (“nanomicelles”) and several antiviral ligands in order to make sure that different formulation and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) needs can be met during the PK-PD programs for our various drug candidates. While this loads up our initial activities, it is expected to minimize the risk for further drug development towards IND or regulatory filings by making available backup drug candidates with different PK-PD profiles.

~~Our~~Page ~~work-plan~~56 ~~is expected to reduce certain risks~~ of drug development. We believe that the data we have collected particularly for the manufacture of NV-387 drug substance and drug products, and the non-clinical studies of NV-387, will enable us to file appropriate IND application(s) to the FDA for the RSV indications. We believe that in the ensuing fiscal year we will be able to obtain valuable information on the safety and tolerability of NV-387 in humans. Additionally, we believe that we may be able to begin Phase II evaluation of efficacy of NV-387 in RSV infected adults in the ensuing year, resources permitting. If our human clinical trials RSV program are not successful, we will have to develop additional drug candidates and perform further studies, or further advance our other programs, for example, Influenza, VZV, HSV-1 or HSV-2 drug candidates, into human clinical trials. If our studies are successful, we would be more confident in further developing our, RSV, FluCide, HerpeCide as well as other program drug candidates and may be in a position to re-engage our highly valuable drug programs including HIVCide.107

Based on our pre-clinical study data, and based on our own studies of approved drugs in the COVID-19 space, we believe that we have a very high probability that NV-CoV-2 would be demonstrated to be a highly effective and safe drug for the treatment of most if not all Coronavirus infections including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) as well as seasonal coronaviruses, in most if not all segments of the human population including pediatric, geriatric, immune-compromised, and other high risk and low risk populations.

We further believe NV-387 could be a revolutionary drug for the treatment of pediatric RSV infections, based on our data that NV-387 treatment appears to have cured mice of lethal lung RSV infection, with no lung damage.

Our work-plan is expected to reduce certain risks of drug development. We believe that the data we have collected particularly for the manufacture of NV-387 drug substance and drug products, and the non-clinical and clinical studies of NV-387, will enable us to file appropriate IND application(s) to the FDA for various indications. We believe that in the ensuing fiscal year we will be able to obtain valuable information on the effectiveness of NV-387 viral infections in humans in Phase II clinical trials. If our studies are successful, we believe we would be able to raise the financing needed for further developing our RSV, FluCide, HerpeCide as well as other program drug candidates and we may be in a position to re-engage our highly valuable drug programs including HIVCide.

Based on our pre-clinical study data, we believe that we have a very high probability that NV-387 would be demonstrated to be a highly effective and safe drug for the treatment of MPox in the Phase II clinical trial, and also for the treatment of RSV, Influenza, Coronaviruses, hMPV, and other respiratory viruses in the ensuing Phase II Viral ARI/SARI clinical trial.

We intend to pursue non-diluting funding sources such as government grants and contracts as well as licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for further development of NV-387 and other drugs in our pipeline. We intend to use equity-based and debt financing, as required, to fund the operations and to raise additional capital for conducting human clinical trials as we advance our pipeline further towards regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financial resources necessary to fund our anticipated obligations over the next year.

We are a clinical stage company and will continue in this drug development stage until generating revenues from the sales of our products or services.

Our Collaborations and Service Contract Agreements

Our development model is to employ collaborations and service contract relationships with renowned academic labs, government labs, as well as service contracts with external service providers in order to minimize our capital requirements.

All of our agreements provide for the evaluation of nanoviricides substances created and provided by us to the Laboratory (or Collaborator). In general, the Laboratory is compensated for certain material and personnel costs for these evaluations. The evaluations involve in vitro and in vivo scientific studies at the Laboratory using their established protocols. In some cases, we provide scientific input regarding certain modifications to their protocols as may be needed. The Laboratory returns the results and data to us. The Laboratory is allowed to publish the results after allowing time for us to protect intellectual property (IP) as needed. We send nanoviricides as well as positive control (i.e. known therapeutics) and negative control (i.e. known not to work) compounds as needed in a fully formulated, ready to use form, to the Laboratory. All IP related to the nanoviricide materials, their formulations and reformulations, and their usage, rests with us. Any IP developed by the Laboratory regarding their own know-how, such as laboratory tests and protocols, their modifications, etc. rests with the Laboratory. Joint inventions are treated as per applicable US Laws.

We try to choose the scientific laboratories with the most appropriate facilities and know-how relating to a particular field for the evaluation of an antiviral agent developed by us. In addition, we try to work with more than one laboratory for the evaluation of an antiviral agent developed by us. We also try to work with more than one laboratory for a given group of viruses whenever possible. We seek to improve confidence by obtaining independent datasets for corroboration of the efficacy and safety of the nanoviricides we develop. Further, we try to minimize dependence on a particular Laboratory for the development of any specific drug candidate in our product pipeline.

To date, we have engaged in GLP and non-GLP Efficacy and Safety evaluations in both in vitro (cell culture models, pseudovirion models) and in vivo (animal models) of our different nanoviricide research materials and drug candidates at different laboratories. NV-387 has progressed into clinical stage and we ~~are~~expect ~~gearing~~to ~~towards~~submit the final report of the successful Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial evaluating safety and tolerability of oral formulations of NV-387 in healthy subjects soon.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that you should consider before investing in our common stock. Some of the principal risk factors that make an investment in the Company speculative or risky are summarized as follows:

●

Our company is in the developmental stage and has no products approved for commercial sale, no generated revenue, and may never achieve profitability.

●

The Company will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund operations.

Page 61 of 107

Table of Contents

●

Due to the nature of the process involved in the development process of pharmaceuticals, the Company can provide no assurance of the successful and timely development of new drugs.

●

The Company must comply with significant and complex government regulations, which may delay or prevent the commercialization of drug candidates.

●

The Company can provide no assurance that drug candidates will obtain regulatory approval or that the results of clinical studies will be favorable.

●

In the event that regulatory approvals are obtained, drug candidates will be subject to regulatory review. Failing to comply with U.S. and foreign regulations could result in loss of approvals to market such drugs and would harm the business.

●

Development of drug candidates requires significant research and development, which will lead to significant research and development costs.

●

The Company will be unable to proceed with its business plan without obtaining additional financing.

●

The Company has limited experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials and must outsource clinical trials. Additionally, we lack suitable facilities for clinical testing which leads to a reliance on third parties.

●

The Company may be unable to attract or retain and motivate skilled personnel which will delay product development programs and research and development efforts.

Page 59 of 106

Table of Contents

●

The Company has no sales or marketing personnel.

●

The Company’s collaborative relationships with third parties could cause the Company to expend significant resources and incur substantial business risk with no assurance of financial return.

●

The Company may be liable for damages caused by biological and hazardous material.

●

The Company depends on senior management and their loss or unavailability could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage.

●

There exist conflicts of interest among officers, directors and stockholders.

●

Risks relating to dependence on U.S. government contracts.

●

Company common stock may be considered “penny stock”.

● Management of the Company has identified a material weakness in internal controls that if not remediated could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

These and other material risks we face are described more fully herein which investors should carefully review prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company or its securities.

Risks Specific to Our Business

Our company is a development stage company that has no products approved for commercial sale, never generated any revenues and may never achieve revenues or profitability.

Our company is a development stage company that has no products approved for commercial sale, never generated any revenues and may never achieve revenues or profitability. Our ability to generate revenue depends heavily on:

●

demonstration and proof of principle in pre-clinical trials that a nanoviricide is safe and effective;

Page 62 of 107

Table of Contents

●

successful development of our first product candidate in our pipeline;

●

our ability to seek and obtain regulatory approvals, including with respect to the indications we are seeking;

●

the successful commercialization of our product candidates; and

●

market acceptance of our products.

All of our existing product candidates are in early stages of development. It will be several years, if ever, until we have a commercial drug product available for resale. If we do not successfully develop and commercialize these products, we will not achieve revenues or profitability in the foreseeable future, if at all. If we are unable to generate revenues or achieve profitability, we may be unable to continue our operations.

We are a clinical drug development stage company with a limited operating history, making it difficult for you to evaluate our business and your investment. Our proposed products are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including but not limited to:

●

the absence of an operating history;

●

the lack of commercialized products;

Page 60 of 106

Table of Contents

●

insufficient capital;

●

expected substantial and continual losses for the foreseeable future;

●

limited experience in dealing with regulatory issues; the lack of manufacturing experience and limited marketing experience;

●

an expected reliance on third parties for the development and commercialization of our proposed products;

●

a competitive environment characterized by numerous, well-established and well capitalized competitors;

●

reliance on key personnel.

Because we are subject to these risks, you may have a difficult time evaluating our business and your investment in our company.

Our ability to become profitable depends primarily on the following factors:

●

our ability to develop drugs, obtain approval for such drugs, and if approved, to successfully commercialize our nanoviricide drug(s);

● our R&D efforts, including the timing and cost of clinical trials; ~~and~~

●

our ability to enter into favorable alliances with third parties who can provide substantial capabilities in clinical development, regulatory affairs, sales, marketing and distribution.

Even if we successfully develop and market our drug candidates, we may not generate sufficient or sustainable revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred significant operating losses and may not ever be profitable. As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, we had a cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately $~~4,797,778~~1.6 million. Also, we have incurred significant operating losses since its inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $~~139,374,895~~149 million at June 30, ~~2024~~2025. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Page 63 of 107

Table of Contents

We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund our operations and we may be unable to raise such funds when needed and on acceptable terms.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $41.86 million, additional capital raised of approximately $1.525 million, by ATM sales of our common stock from July 1, ~~2024~~2025 through September 1024, ~~2024~~2025, and the Company’s existing resources, including availability under its $3 million line of credit will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-K. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively exploring additional required funding through non-dilutive grants and contracts, partnering, debt or equity financing pursuant to its plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to fund continuing operations.

We cannot provide assurance that the Company’s plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates.

In the event that we cannot obtain acceptable financing, or that we are unable to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, we would be unable to complete development of our various drug candidates. This would necessitate implementing staff reductions and operational adjustments that would include reductions in the following business areas:

●

research and development programs;

●

preclinical studies and clinical trials; material characterization studies, regulatory processes;

Page 61 of 106

Table of Contents

●

a search for third party marketing partners to market our products for us.

The amount of capital we may need will depend on many factors, including the:

●

progress, timing and scope of our research and development programs;

●

progress, timing and scope of our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

●

time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals;

●

time and cost necessary to establish our own marketing capabilities or to seek marketing partners;

●

time and cost necessary to respond to technological and market developments;

●

changes made or new developments in our existing collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships; and

●

new collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships that we may establish.

Our fixed expenses, such as real estate taxes and facility and equipment maintenance, rent, and other contractual commitments, may increase in the future, as we may:

●

enter into leases for new facilities and capital equipment;

●

enter into additional licenses and collaborative agreements; and

●

incur additional expenses associated with being a public company.

We have limited experience in drug development, and may not be able to successfully develop any drugs.

Our ability to achieve revenues and profitability in our business will depend, among other things, on our ability to:

●

develop products internally or obtain rights to them from others on favorable terms;

●

complete laboratory testing and human studies;

●

obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property rights to our products;

●

successfully complete regulatory review to obtain requisite governmental agency approvals;

●

enter into arrangements with third parties to manufacture our products on our behalf; and

●

enter into arrangements with third parties to provide sales and marketing functions.

Development of pharmaceutical products is a time-consuming process, subject to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Consequently, we can provide no assurance of the successful and timely development of new drugs.

Our drug candidates are in their clinical and pre-clinical developmental stages. Further development and extensive testing will be required to determine their technical feasibility and commercial viability. Our success will depend on our ability to achieve scientific and technological advances and to translate such advances into reliable, commercially competitive drugs on a timely basis. Drugs that we may develop are not likely to be commercially available for several years. The proposed development schedules for our drug candidates may be affected by a variety of factors, including technological difficulties, proprietary technology of others, and changes in government regulation, many of which will not be within our control. Any delay in the development, introduction or marketing of our drug candidates could result either in such drugs being marketed at a time when their cost and performance characteristics would not be competitive in the marketplace or in the shortening of their commercial lives. In light of the long-term nature of our projects, the unproven technology involved and the other factors described elsewhere in “Risk Factors”, we may not be able to complete successfully the development or marketing of any drugs.

We may fail to successfully develop and commercialize our drug candidates if they:

●

are found to be unsafe or ineffective or fail to meet the appropriate endpoints in clinical trials;

●

do not receive necessary approval from the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies;

●

fail to conform to a changing standard of care for the diseases they seek to treat; or

●

are less effective or more expensive than current or alternative treatment methods.

Drug development failure can occur at any stage of clinical trials and as a result of many factors and there can be no assurance that we or our collaborators will reach our anticipated clinical targets. Even if we or our collaborators complete our clinical trials, we do not know what the long-term effects of exposure to our drug candidates will be. Furthermore, our drug candidates may be used in combination with other treatments and there can be no assurance that such use will not lead to unique safety issues. Failure to complete clinical trials or to prove that our drug candidates are safe and effective would have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue and could require us to reduce the scope of or discontinue our operations.

We have limited manufacturing expertise and we may have to rely on external manufacturers.

We believe that the technology we use to manufacture our products and compounds is proprietary, although some of the generalities are patented or patent-pending. For our products, we may have to disclose all necessary aspects of this technology to contract manufacturers to enable them to manufacture the products and compounds for us. We plan to have discussions with manufacturers under non-disclosure and non-compete agreements that are intended to restrict them from using or revealing this technology, but we cannot be certain that these manufacturers will comply with these restrictions. In addition, these manufacturers could develop their own technology related to the work they perform for us that we may need to manufacture our products or compounds. We could be required to enter into an agreement with that manufacturer if we wanted to use that technology ourselves or allow another manufacturer to use that technology. The manufacturer could refuse to allow us to use their technology or could demand terms to use their technology that are not acceptable.

We must comply with significant and complex government regulations, compliance with which may delay or prevent the commercialization of our drug candidates.

The R&D, manufacture and marketing of drug candidates are subject to regulation, primarily by the FDA in the United States and by comparable authorities in other countries. These national agencies and other federal, state, local and foreign entities regulate, among other things, R&D activities (including testing in primates and in humans) and the testing, manufacturing, handling, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of the products that we are developing. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in various adverse consequences, including approval delays or refusals to approve drug licenses or other applications, suspension or termination of clinical investigations, revocation of approvals previously granted, fines, criminal prosecution, recalls or seizures of products, injunctions against shipping drugs and total or partial suspension of production and/or refusal to allow a company to enter into governmental supply contracts.

The process of obtaining FDA approval has historically been costly and time consuming. Current FDA requirements for a new human drug or biological product to be marketed in the United States include: (1) the successful conclusion of pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests, if appropriate, to gain preliminary information on the product’s safety; (2) filing with the FDA of an IND application to conduct human clinical trials for drugs or biologics; (3) the successful completion of adequate and well-controlled human clinical investigations to establish the safety and efficacy of the product for its recommended use; and (4) filing by a company and acceptance and approval by the FDA of a New Drug Application, or NDA, for a drug product or a biological license application, or BLA, for a biological product to allow commercial distribution of the drug or biologic. A delay in one or more of the procedural steps outlined above could be harmful to us in terms of getting our drug candidates through clinical testing and to market.

The FDA reviews the results of the clinical trials and may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of clinical trials at any time if it believes the drug candidate exposes clinical subjects to an unacceptable health risk. Investigational drugs used in clinical studies must be produced in compliance with current good manufacturing practice, or GMP, rules pursuant to FDA regulations.

Sales outside the United States of products that we develop will also be subject to regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing for drugs and biological products and devices. The requirements vary widely from country to country, but typically the registration and approval process takes several years and requires significant resources. In most cases, even if the FDA has not approved a product for sale in the United States, the product may be exported to any country if it complies with the laws of that country and has valid marketing authorization by the appropriate authority. There are specific FDA regulations that govern this process.

We also are subject to the following risks and obligations, related to the approval of our products:

●

The FDA or foreign regulators may interpret data from pre-clinical testing and clinical trials in different ways than we interpret them.

●

If regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be limited to specific indications or limited with respect to its distribution.

●

In addition, many foreign countries control pricing and coverage under their respective national social security systems.

●

The FDA or foreign regulators may not approve our manufacturing processes or manufacturing facilities.

Page 66 of 107

Table of Contents

●

The FDA or foreign regulators may change their approval policies or adopt new regulations.

●

Even if regulatory approval for any product is obtained, the marketing license will be subject to continual review, and newly discovered or developed safety or effectiveness data may result in suspension or revocation of the marketing license.

●

If regulatory approval of the product candidate is granted, the marketing of that product would be subject to adverse event reporting requirements and a general prohibition against promoting products for unapproved or “off-label” uses.

●

In some foreign countries, we may be subject to official release requirements that require each batch of the product we produce to be officially released by regulatory authorities prior to its distribution by us.

●

We will be subject to continual regulatory review and periodic inspection and approval of manufacturing modifications, including compliance with current GMP regulations.

Page 64 of 106

Table of Contents

We can provide no assurance that our drug candidates will obtain regulatory approval or that the results of clinical studies will be favorable.

The testing, marketing and manufacturing of any product for use in the United States will require approval from the FDA. We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of time necessary to obtain such FDA approval and whether any such approval will ultimately be granted. Preclinical and clinical trials may reveal that one or more products are ineffective or unsafe, in which event further development of such products could be seriously delayed or terminated. Moreover, obtaining approval for certain products may require testing on human subjects of substances whose effects on humans are not fully understood or documented. Delays in obtaining FDA or any other necessary regulatory approvals of any proposed drug and failure to receive such approvals would have an adverse effect on the drug’s potential commercial success and on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that a proposed drug may be found to be ineffective or unsafe due to conditions or facts that arise after development has been completed and regulatory approvals have been obtained. In this event, we may be required to withdraw such proposed drug from the market. To the extent that our success will depend on any regulatory approvals from government authorities outside of the United States that perform roles similar to that of the FDA, uncertainties similar to those stated above will also exist.

Preclinical and clinical studies of our product candidates may not be successful. If we are unable to generate successful results from preclinical and clinical studies of our product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business may be materially harmed.

We have no products on the market and except NV-CoV-2 (NV-387) which is in Phase Ia/Ib clinical trials, all of our other product candidates are in preclinical development. In particular, none of our product candidates, other than NV-CoV-2 (NV-387), have ever been tested in a human subject. Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability depends on obtaining regulatory approvals for and, if approved, successfully commercializing our product candidates, either alone or with third parties. Before obtaining regulatory approval for the commercial distribution of our product candidates, we or an existing or future collaborator must conduct extensive preclinical tests and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety, purity and potency of our product candidates.

The success of our product candidates will depend on several factors, including the following:

●

successfully designing preclinical studies which may be predictive of clinical outcomes;

●

successful results from preclinical and clinical studies;

●

receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

●

obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection for future product candidates;

●

establishing and maintaining manufacturing relationships with third parties or establishing our own manufacturing capability; and

Page 67 of 107

Table of Contents

●

successfully commercializing our products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others.

If we do not achieve one or more of these factors in a timely manner or at all, we could experience significant delays or an inability to successfully complete the development or commercialization of our product candidates, which would materially harm our business.

Page 65 of 106

Table of Contents

Because the results of preclinical testing are not necessarily predictive of future results, our products may not have favorable results in our planned clinical trials.

Even if we have positive results from our preclinical testing of our products, this may not necessarily be predictive of the results from our planned clinical trials in humans. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials after achieving positive results in preclinical development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face similar setbacks. Moreover, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials nonetheless failed to obtain FDA approval. If we fail to produce positive results in our clinical trials, the development timeline and regulatory approval and commercialization prospects for our products, and, correspondingly, our business and financial prospects, would be materially adversely affected.

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals, our marketed drug candidates will be subject to ongoing regulatory review. If we fail to comply with continuing U.S. and foreign regulations, we could lose our approvals to market these drugs and our business would be seriously harmed.

Following any initial regulatory approval of any drugs we may develop, we will also be subject to continuing regulatory review, including the review of adverse experiences and clinical results that are reported after our drug candidates are made commercially available. This would include results from any post-marketing tests or vigilance required as a condition of approval. The manufacturer and manufacturing facilities we use to make any of our drug candidates will also be subject to periodic review and inspection by the FDA. The discovery of any previously unknown problems with the drug, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the drug or manufacturer or facility, including withdrawal of the drug from the market. If we are required to withdraw all or more of our drugs from the market, we may be unable to continue revenue-generating operations. Reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured drugs ourselves, including reliance on the third-party manufacturer for regulatory compliance. Our drug promotion and advertising is also subject to regulatory requirements and continuing FDA review.

Development of our drug candidates requires a significant investment in R&D. Our R&D expenses in turn, are subject to variation based on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. A sudden or significant increase in our R&D expenses could materially and adversely impact our results of operations.

Our R&D cost estimates and budgets are based on discussions with industry professionals and service providers. These may not take into account all of the activities involved for the development. Additionally, regulatory requirements may change from time to time and may dictate additional activities that lead to increased expenditures beyond budgeted.

Because we expect to expend substantial resources on R&D, our success depends in large part on the results as well as the costs of our R&D. A failure in our R&D efforts or substantial increase in our R&D expenses would adversely affect our results of operations. R&D expenditures are uncertain and subject to much fluctuation. Factors affecting our R&D expenses include, but are not limited to:

●

the number and outcome of clinical studies we are planning to conduct; for example, our R&D expenses may increase based on the number of late-stage clinical studies that we may be required to conduct;

●

the number, extent, and outcome of pre-clinical studies we are planning to conduct; for example, our R&D expenses may increase based on the number and extent of IND-enabling pre-clinical studies including CMC Studies, Tox Package Studies, and Quality Programs that we may be required to conduct;

●

the number of drugs entering into pre-clinical development from research; for example, there is no guarantee that internal research efforts will succeed in generating sufficient data for us to make a positive development decision;

●Page ~~licensing~~68 ~~activities, including the timing and amount~~ of related development funding or milestone payments; for example, we may enter into agreements requiring us to pay a significant up-front fee for the purchase of in-process R&D that we may record as R&D expense; and107

●

licensing activities, including the timing and amount of related development funding or milestone payments; for example, we may enter into agreements requiring us to pay a significant up-front fee for the purchase of in-process R&D that we may record as R&D expense; and

●

maintenance of our relationship with our licensing partner TheraCour and our rights and obligations under the license agreements, including any conflict, dispute or disagreement arising from our failure to satisfy payment obligations under such agreement, our ability to develop and commercialize the affected product candidate may be adversely affected. Any loss of our rights under our license agreements could delay or completely terminate our product development efforts for the affected product candidate.

We will be unable to proceed with our business plan without obtaining additional financing to support our budgeted Clinical Development, Pre-Clinical Research and Development and other costs.

We believe we have sufficient funds on hand to complete the remaining tasks of the Phase I clinical trial and obtain a completed clinical study report, and to develop and file a Phase II clinical trial application to evaluate use of NV-387 for the treatment of RSV infection.

We have estimated a total cash expenditure budget of approximately $~~7.9~~11 million for the period of July ~~2024~~2025 through October ~~2025~~2026 of which approximately $47.90 million is expected to be spent on research and development for our drug candidates, including completion and reporting of the Phase I clinical trial. ~~and~~$1 ~~preparation~~million ~~for~~has been budgeted toward execution of the Phase II clinical trial of our lead drug candidate NV-387 for treatment of ~~RSV~~MPox, ~~an IND filing for RSV indication,~~ and approximately $3 million is budgeted for general and administrative expenses.

We are aware of numerous products under development or manufactured by competitors that are used for the prevention or treatment of certain diseases we have targeted for drug development. Various companies are developing biopharmaceutical products that potentially directly compete with our drug candidates even though their approach to such treatment is different.

We ~~hope~~believe that our drug candidates under development and in clinical trials ~~will~~ address major markets and unmet medical needs within the anti-viral sector. Our competition will be determined in part by the potential indications for which drugs are developed and ultimately approved by regulatory authorities. Additionally, the timing of the market introduction of some of our potential drugs or of competitors’ products may be an important competitive factor. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we can develop drugs, complete pre-clinical testing, clinical trials, approval processes and supply commercial quantities to market are important competitive factors. We expect that competition among drugs approved for sale will be based on various factors, including product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, price and patent protection.

The successful development of biopharmaceuticals is highly uncertain. A variety of factors including, pre-clinical study results or regulatory approvals, could cause us to abandon development of our drug candidates.

Successful development of biopharmaceuticals is highly uncertain and is dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Products that appear promising in the early phases of development may fail to reach the market for several reasons including:

●

pre-clinical study results that may show the product to be less effective than desired (e.g., a clinical trial fails to meet its primary objectives) or to have harmful or problematic side effects;

●

failure to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or a delay in receiving such approvals. Among other things, such delays may be caused by slow enrollment in clinical studies, length of time to achieve study endpoints, additional time requirements for data analysis or an IND and later NDA, preparation, discussions with the FDA, an FDA request for additional pre-clinical or clinical data or unexpected safety or manufacturing issues;

●

manufacturing costs, pricing or reimbursement issues, or other factors that make the product not economical; and

●

the proprietary rights of others and their competing products and technologies that may prevent the product from being commercialized.

~~Success~~Page in69 pre-clinical and early clinical studies does not ensure that large-scale clinical studies will be successful. Clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals. The length of time necessary to complete clinical studies and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one product to the next, and may be difficult to predict.107

Success in pre-clinical and early clinical studies does not ensure that large-scale clinical studies will be successful. Clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals. The length of time necessary to complete clinical studies and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one product to the next, and may be difficult to predict.

We have limited experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials and must outsource all clinical trials.

We have limited experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials that must be performed to obtain data to submit in concert with applications for approval by the FDA. The regulatory process to obtain approval for drugs for commercial sale involves numerous steps. Drugs are subjected to clinical trials that allow development of case studies to examine safety, efficacy, and other issues to ensure that sale of drugs meets the requirements set forth by various governmental agencies, including the FDA. In the event that our protocols do not meet standards set forth by the FDA, or that our data is not sufficient to allow such trials to validate our drugs in the face of such examination, we might not be able to meet the requirements that allow our drugs to be approved for sale.

Because we have limited experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials, we plan to continue to outsource our clinical trials to third parties. We have no control over their compliance with procedures and protocols used to complete clinical trials in accordance with standards required by the agencies that approve drugs for sale. If these subcontractors fail to meet these standards, the validation of our drugs would be adversely affected, causing a delay in our ability to meet revenue-generating operations.

We are subject to risks inherent in conducting clinical trials. The risk of non-compliance with FDA-approved good clinical practices by clinical investigators, clinical sites, or data management services could delay or prevent us from developing or ever commercializing our drug candidates.

Agreements with clinical investigators and medical institutions for clinical testing and with other third parties for data management services place substantial responsibilities on these parties, which could result in delays in, or termination of, our clinical trials if these parties fail to perform as expected. For example, if any of our clinical trial sites fail to comply with FDA-approved good clinical practices, we may be unable to use the data gathered at those sites. If these clinical investigators, medical institutions or other third parties do not carry out their contractual duties or obligations or fail to meet expected deadlines, or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to their failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or for other reasons, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our drug candidates.

We or regulators may suspend or terminate our clinical trials for a number of reasons. We may voluntarily suspend or terminate our clinical trials if at any time we believe that they present an unacceptable risk to the patients enrolled in our clinical trials. In addition, regulatory agencies may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials at any time if they believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or that they present an unacceptable safety risk to the patients enrolled in our clinical trials.

Our clinical trial operations will be subject to regulatory inspections at any time. If regulatory inspectors conclude that we or our clinical trial sites are not in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements for conducting clinical trials, we may receive reports of observations or warning letters detailing deficiencies, and we will be required to implement corrective actions. If regulatory agencies deem our responses to be inadequate, or are dissatisfied with the corrective actions that we or our clinical trial sites have implemented, our clinical trials may be temporarily or permanently discontinued, we may be fined, we or our investigators may be precluded from conducting any ongoing or any future clinical trials, the government may refuse to approve our marketing applications or allow us to manufacture or market our drug candidates or we may be criminally prosecuted. If we are unable to complete clinical trials and have our products approved due to our failure to comply with regulatory requirements, we will be unable to commence revenue-generating operations.

Efforts of government and third-party payers to contain or reduce the costs of health care may adversely affect our revenues even if we were to develop an FDA approved drug.

Our ability to earn sufficient returns on our drug candidates may depend in part on the extent to which government health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other organizations will provide reimbursement for the costs of such drugs and related treatments. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care drugs, and we do not know whether adequate third-party coverage will be available for our drug candidates. If our current and proposed drugs are not considered cost-effective, reimbursement to the consumers may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell drugs on a competitive basis. The failure of the government and third-party payers to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement rates for our drug candidates could adversely affect the market acceptance of our drug candidates, our competitive position and our financial performance

We will rely upon licensed patents to protect our technology. We may be unable to obtain or protect such intellectual property rights, and we may be liable for infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others.

Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies and the proprietary technology of others for which we have entered into licensing agreements. We have exclusive licenses from TheraCour to novel technologies, proprietary technologies, and knowhow, some of which has been filed in patent applications, and we expect to file patents of our own in the coming years. There can be no assurance that any of these patent applications will ultimately result in the issuance of a patent with respect to the technology owned by us or licensed to us. The patent position of pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, including ours, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual considerations. The standards that the United States Patent and Trademark Office use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. There is also no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical or biotechnology patents. Accordingly, we do not know the degree of future protection for our proprietary rights or the breadth of claims that will be allowed in any patents issued to us or to others. Further, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, know-how, technology and nondisclosure, and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our rights in the technology. If any trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We do not believe that any of the drug candidates we are currently developing infringe upon the rights of any third parties nor are they infringed upon by third parties; however, there can be no assurance that our technology will not be found in the future to infringe upon the rights of others or be infringed upon by others. In such a case, others may assert infringement claims against us, and should we be found to infringe upon their patents, or otherwise impermissibly utilize their intellectual property, we might be forced to pay damages, potentially including treble damages, if we are found to have willfully infringed on such parties’ patent rights. In addition to any damages we might have to pay, we may be required to obtain licenses from the holders of this intellectual property, enter into royalty agreements, or redesign our drug candidates so as not to utilize this intellectual property, each of which may prove to be uneconomical or otherwise impossible. Conversely, we may not always be able to successfully pursue our claims against others that infringe upon our technology and the technology exclusively licensed from the TheraCour Pharma. Thus, the proprietary nature of our technology or technology licensed by us may not provide adequate protection against competitors.

Moreover, the cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to technology we license and other intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, and the litigation would divert our management’s efforts. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability to continue our operations.

Other companies or organizations may assert patent rights that prevent us from developing and commercializing our drug candidates.

We are in a relatively new scientific field that has generated many different patent applications from organizations and individuals seeking to obtain important patents in the field. Because the field is so new, very few of these patent applications have been fully processed by government patent offices around the world, and there is a great deal of uncertainty about which patents will issue, when, to whom, and with what claims. It is possible that there will be significant litigation and other proceedings, such as interference proceedings in various patent offices, relating to patent rights in the field. Others may attempt to invalidate TheraCour’s patents or other intellectual property rights. Even if our rights are not directly challenged, disputes among third parties could lead to the weakening or invalidation of those intellectual property rights.

Page 6971 of ~~106~~107

Table of Contents

Thus, it is possible that one or more organizations will hold patent rights to which we will need a license. Any license required under any patent may not be made available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, such licenses are likely to be non-exclusive and, therefore, our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. If we fail to obtain a required license and are unable to design around a patent, we may be unable to effectively market some of our technology and drug candidates, which could limit our ability to generate revenues or achieve profitability and possibly prevent us from generating revenue sufficient to sustain our operations.

We are dependent upon TheraCour for the rights to develop the products we intend to sell and our license agreements with TheraCour require that TheraCour is the sole developer and supplier of our licensed products.

Our ability to develop, manufacture and sell the products the Company plans to develop is derived from our licensing agreements with TheraCour. The Agreements may be terminated by TheraCour as a result of: the insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, a general assignment by the Company to its creditors, the dissolution of the Company, cessation by the Company of business operations for ninety (90) days or more or the commencement by the Company or an affiliate to challenge or invalidate the issued patents.

The Company does not hold the rights to any other patents nor does the Company conduct its own research and development to develop other products to manufacture and sell. In addition, TheraCour is the sole developer of our licensed products and we are required to pay TheraCour fees for indirect and direct costs incurred by TheraCour for its licensed products. Therefore, we are dependent upon TheraCour for all of our product development needs. If the Company’s Agreement with TheraCour is terminated, it is unlikely we will be able to commence revenue-generating operations or that the Company could continue operating at all.

The expiration or loss of patent protection may adversely affect our future revenues and operating earnings.

We rely on patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property protection in the discovery, research and of our product candidates. In particular, patent protection is important in the development and eventual commercialization of our products and product candidates. Patents covering our products and product candidates normally provide market exclusivity, which is important in order for our products and product candidates to become profitable.

Certain of the patents, which comprise the intellectual property that we license, expire between 2026 and 2028. While we believe the patent holders may seek additional patent coverage that may protect the technology underlying these patents, there can be no assurances that such additional patent protection will be granted, or if granted, that these patents will not be infringed upon or otherwise held enforceable. Even if we are successful in obtaining a patent, patents have a limited lifespan and we currently do not have any products for sale. In the United States, the natural expiration of a utility patent typically is generally 20 years after it is filed. Various extensions may be available; however, the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Without patent protection for our products and product candidates, we may be open to competition from generic versions of such methods and devices.

We lack suitable facilities for clinical testing; and rely on third parties.

The Company does not have facilities that could be used to conduct clinical testing. We expect to contract with third parties to conduct all clinical testing required to obtain approvals for any drugs that we might develop. We currently outsource all testing to a number of third parties in various collaborations and service contracts. Any of our collaborators or service providers may discontinue the service contract or collaboration. If this were to occur, then we would be required to modify our priorities and goals, obtain other collaborators or service providers to replace the ones we lose, or we may even be forced to abandon certain drug development programs. In addition, any failures by third parties to adequately perform their responsibilities may delay the submission of our proposed products for regulatory approval, impair our ability to deliver our products on a timely basis, increase our costs, or otherwise impair our competitive position.

We have limited manufacturing experience.

We have not previously manufactured products in the highly regulated environment of pharmaceutical manufacturing. There are numerous regulations and requirements that must be maintained to obtain licensure and the permits required to commence manufacturing, as well as additional requirements to continue manufacturing pharmaceutical products. We own facilities that we use to manufacture clinical quantities of any products that might be developed by us. We believe that this cGMP-capable facility may allow us to produce limited quantities of a drug after approval for initial market entry, and that such an effort may make commercial sense if the treatment course requirements and afflicted patient populations are limited, and if the remuneration for the treatment course is appropriate. However, we do not own, nor lease facilities suitable for cGMP manufacture of any of our drug candidates in large commercial quantities, nor do we have the resources at this time to acquire or lease suitable facilities. At present, we have not retained any contract manufacturing organizations (CMO) for commercial manufacture or for clinical product manufacture.

We may be unable to attract, retain, and motivate skilled personnel which will delay our product development programs and our research and development efforts.

Our success depends on our continued ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified scientific personnel who must undergo extensive training to assist in our research programs. Competition for skilled and qualified personnel and academic and other research collaborations is intense. If we lose the services of personnel with the necessary skills, or if there are extensive delays in training such personnel, it could significantly impede the achievement of our research and development objectives. We are currently experiencing extreme staffing constraints as well as financing constraints that have already caused substantial delays and may continue to cause further delays in our estimated timelines, unless we are successful at raising additional funds and at attracting and retaining highly skilled employees with specific skill-sets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding or that even if we are able to raise funding on terms favorable to the Company, that we will be able to hire and retain such qualified employees, The inability to hire and retain these employees will significantly delay our objectives including filing an IND with the FDA.

We have no sales and marketing personnel.

We are an early stage development company with limited resources. We do not currently have any products available for sale, and have not secured sales and marketing staff at this early stage of operations. We cannot generate sales without a sales or marketing staff and we cannot guarantee we will be successful in developing one. Even if we were to successfully develop approvable drugs, we will not be able to sell these drugs if we or our third-party manufacturers fail to comply with manufacturing regulations.

Since we cannot predict whether or when we will obtain regulatory approval to commercialize our product candidates, we cannot predict the timing of any future revenue from these product candidates.

We cannot commercialize any of our product candidates to generate revenue until the appropriate regulatory authorities have reviewed and approved the marketing applications for the product candidates. We cannot ensure that the regulatory agencies will complete their review processes in a timely manner or that we will obtain regulatory approval for any product candidate that we or our collaborators develop. Satisfaction of regulatory requirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Regulatory approval processes outside the United States include all of the risks associated with the FDA approval process. In addition, we may experience delays or rejections based upon additional government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or changes in FDA policy during the period of product development, clinical trials and FDA regulatory review.

We license our core technology from TheraCour and we are dependent upon them as they have exclusive development rights. If we lose the right to utilize any of the proprietary information that is the subject of this license agreement, we may incur substantial delays and costs in development of our drug candidates

We have entered into Material License Agreements with TheraCour. TheraCour has exclusive rights to develop exclusively for us, the materials that comprise the core drugs of our planned business. TheraCour is a development stage company with limited financial resources and needs the Company’s progress payments to further the development of the nanoviricides. We control the research and work TheraCour performs on our behalf and no costs may be incurred without our prior authorization or approval.

Table of Contents

We depend on TheraCour and other third parties to perform manufacturing activities effectively and on a timely basis. If these third parties fail to perform as required, this could impair our ability to deliver our products on a timely basis or cause delays in our clinical trials and applications for regulatory approval, and these events could harm our competitive position and adversely affect our ability to commence revenue-generating operations. The manufacturing process for pharmaceutical products is highly regulated, and regulators may shut down manufacturing facilities that they believe do not comply with regulations. We, and our manufacturers are subject to the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, which are extensive regulations governing manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards and similar regulations are in effect in other countries. In addition, our manufacturing operations are subject to routine inspections by regulatory agencies.

Our collaborative relationships with third parties could cause us to expend significant resources and incur substantial business risk with no assurance of financial return.

We anticipate substantial reliance upon strategic collaborations for marketing and the commercialization of our drug candidates and we may rely even more on strategic collaborations for R&D of our other drug candidates. Our business depends on our ability to sell drugs to both government agencies and to the general pharmaceutical market. Offering our drug candidates for non-medical applications to government agencies does not require us to develop new sales, marketing or distribution capabilities beyond those already existing in the company. Selling antiviral drugs, however, does require such development. We plan to sell antiviral drugs through strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. If we are unable to establish or manage such strategic collaborations on terms favorable to us in the future, our revenue and drug development may be limited. To date, we have not entered into any strategic collaboration with third parties capable of providing these services. In addition, we have not yet marketed or sold any of our drug candidates or entered into successful collaborations for these services in order to ultimately commercialize our drug candidates.

If we determine to enter into R&D collaborations during the early phases of drug development, our success will in part depend on the performance of our research collaborators. We will not directly control the amount or timing of resources devoted by our research collaborators to activities related to our drug candidates. Our research collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our programs. If any research collaborator fails to commit sufficient resources, our preclinical or clinical development programs related to such collaboration could be delayed or terminated. Also, our collaborators may pursue existing or other development-stage products or alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us. Finally, if we fail to make required milestone or royalty payments to our collaborators or to observe other obligations in our agreements with them, our collaborators may have the right to terminate those agreements.

Manufacturers producing our drug candidates must follow current GMP regulations enforced by the FDA and foreign equivalents. If a manufacturer of our drug candidates does not conform to the current GMP regulations and cannot be brought up to such a standard, we will be required to find alternative manufacturers that do conform. This may be a long and difficult process and may delay our ability to receive FDA or foreign regulatory approval of our drug candidates and cause us to fall behind on our business objectives.

Establishing strategic collaborations is difficult and time-consuming. Our discussion with potential collaborators may not lead to the establishment of collaborations on favorable terms, if at all. Potential collaborators may reject collaborations based upon their assessment of our financial, regulatory or intellectual property position. Even if we successfully establish new collaborations, these relationships may never result in the successful development or commercialization of our drug candidates or the generation of sales revenue. To the extent that we enter into collaborative arrangements, our drug revenues are likely to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold any drugs that we may develop.

Management of our relationships with our collaborators will require:

●

significant time and effort from our management team;

●

coordination of our marketing and R&D programs with the marketing and R&D priorities of our collaborators; and

●

effective allocation of our resources to multiple projects.

We employ the use of certain chemical and biological agents and compounds that may be deemed hazardous and we are therefore subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations may result in significant costs, which could materially reduce our ability to become profitable.

We use hazardous materials, including chemicals and biological agents and compounds that could be dangerous to human health and safety or the environment. As appropriate, we safely store these materials and wastes resulting from their use at our laboratory facility pending their ultimate use or disposal. We contract with a third party to properly dispose of these materials and wastes. We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and wastes. We may incur significant costs complying with environmental laws and regulations adopted in the future.

We cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of contamination or injury resulting from our use of hazardous materials, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties for failure to comply with such laws and regulations. We may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These current or future laws and regulations may impair our research, development or production efforts. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.

If we use biological and hazardous materials in a manner that causes injury, we may be liable for damages.

Our R&D and manufacturing activities will involve the use of biological and hazardous materials. Although we believe our safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations, we cannot entirely eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination from the use, storage, handling or disposal of these materials. We carry $7,000,000 casualty and general liability insurance policies. Accordingly, in the event of contamination or injury, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines in an amount exceeding our resources and insurance coverage, and our clinical trials or regulatory approvals could be suspended.

We depend upon our senior management and their loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

We currently depend upon the efforts and abilities of our management team. The loss or unavailability of the services of any of these individuals for any significant period of time could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We have not obtained, do not own, nor are we the beneficiary of key-person life insurance for all of our key personnel.

The Company believes that Dr. Anil Diwan, our President and Executive Chairman is critical to the success of the Company. The Company is a limited beneficiary of a certain amount of key man insurance for Anil Diwan that the Company maintains. However, there can be no assurances that the amount of the key man insurance coverage would be sufficient to provide replacement of this key officer for continuing the Company’s operations in a timely manner, should such an event arise.

The Company also maintains a limited amount of Directors and Officers Liability insurance coverage to protect all of its directors and executive officers taken together. There can be no assurance that this D&O coverage will be sufficient to cover the costs of the events that may lead to its invocation, in which case, there could be a substantial impact on the Company’s ability to continue operations, should such an unforeseen event occur.

There are conflicts of interest among our officers, directors and stockholders.

Certain of our executive officers and directors and their affiliates are engaged in other activities and have interests in other entities on their own behalf or on behalf of other persons. Neither we, nor our stockholders will have any rights in these ventures or their income or profits. Specifically, Dr. Anil Diwan owns approximately 90% of the capital stock of TheraCour, which as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, owned 32.68% of our common stock, and 681,859 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, and provides the nanomaterials to the Company with which it intends to develop its products and is the holder of the intellectual property rights the Company uses to conduct its operations. While the Company is not aware of any conflict that has arisen to date, Dr. Diwan may have conflicting fiduciary duties between the Company and TheraCour, for which he must recuse himself from certain decision-making processes of the Company.

Page 7375 of ~~106~~107

Table of Contents

The Company does not allow a conflicted shareholder, director, or executive officer to vote on matters wherein a conflict may be perceived. The conflicted person or entity is not allowed to nominate an alternate person to vote for them either. Other than this safeguard, the Company currently does not have any policy in place, should such a conflict arise.

In particular:

●

Our executive officers or directors or their affiliates may have an economic interest in, or other business relationship with, partner companies that invest in us.

●

Our executive officers or directors or their affiliates have interests in entities that provide products or services to us.

In any of these cases:

●

Our executive officers or directors may have a conflict between our current interests and their personal financial and other interests in another business venture.

●

Our executive officers or directors may have conflicting fiduciary duties to us and the other entity.

●

The terms of transactions with the other entity may not be subject to arm’s length negotiations and therefore may be on terms less favorable to us than those that could be procured through arm’s length negotiations.

We anticipate entering into contracts with various U.S. government agencies. In contracting with government agencies, we will be subject to various federal contract requirements. Future sales to U.S. government agencies will depend, in part, on our ability to meet these requirements, certain of which we may not be able to satisfy.

We may enter into contracts with various U.S. government agencies which have special contracting requirements that give the government agency various rights or impose on the other party various obligations that can make the contracts less favorable to the non- government party. Consequently, if a large portion of our revenue is attributable to these contracts, our business may be adversely affected should the governmental parties exercise any of these additional rights or impose any of these additional obligations.

U.S. government contracts typically contain unfavorable termination provisions and are subject to audit and modification by the government at its sole discretion, which subjects us to additional risks. These risks include the ability of the U.S. government to unilaterally:

●

suspend or prevent us for a set period of time from receiving new contracts or extending existing contracts based on violations or suspected violations of laws or regulations;

●

terminate our existing contracts;

●

reduce the scope and value of our existing contracts;

●

audit and object to our contract-related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs;

●

control and potentially prohibit the export of our drug candidates; and

●

change certain terms and conditions in our contracts.

The U.S. government may terminate any of its contracts with us either for its convenience or if we default by failing to perform in accordance with the contract schedule and terms. Termination for convenience provisions generally enable us to recover only our costs incurred or committed, and settlement expenses and profit on the work completed prior to termination. Termination for default provisions do not permit these recoveries and make us liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in procuring undelivered items from another source.

Page 7476 of ~~106~~107

Table of Contents

As a U.S. government contractor, we may become subject to periodic audits and reviews. Based on the results of these audits, the U.S. government may adjust our contract-related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs. As part of any such audit or review, the U.S. government may review the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including those relating to our purchasing, property, compensation and/or management information systems. In addition, if an audit or review uncovers any improper or illegal activity, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of our contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government. We could also suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us. In addition, under U.S. government purchasing regulations, some of our costs, including most financing costs, amortization of intangible assets, portions of our R&D costs and some marketing expenses, may not be reimbursable or allowed under our contracts. Further, as a U.S. government contractor, we may become subject to an increased risk of investigations, criminal prosecution, civil fraud, whistleblower lawsuits and other legal actions and liabilities to which purely private sector companies are not.

We may fail to obtain contracts to supply the U.S. government, and we may be unable to commercialize our drug candidates.

The U.S. government has undertaken commitments to help secure improved countermeasures against bio-terrorism. The process of obtaining government contracts is lengthy and uncertain, and we would compete for each contract. Moreover, the award of one government contract would not necessarily secure the award of future contracts covering the same drug. If the U.S. government makes significant future contract awards for the supply of its emergency stockpile to our competitors, our business will be harmed and it is unlikely that we will be able to ultimately commercialize our competitive drug candidate.

In addition, the determination of when and whether a drug is ready for large scale purchase and potential use will be made by the government through consultation with a number of government agencies, including the FDA, the NIH, the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security. Congress has approved measures to accelerate the development of bio-defense drugs through NIH funding, the review process by the FDA and the final government procurement contracting authority. While this may help speed the approval of our drug candidates, it may also encourage competitors to develop their own drug candidates.

We cannot predict with certainty the size of the market, if any for all of the antiviral drugs that the governments may want to stockpile. Consequently, we cannot predict whether sales, if any, to governments will be sufficient to fund our business plan and commence revenue-generating operations.

If the U.S. government fails to continue funding bio-defense drug candidate development efforts or fails to purchase sufficient quantities of any future bio-defense drug candidate, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to continue operations.

While we have not yet received U.S. government funding, we hope to receive funding from the U.S. government for the development of our bio-defense drug candidates. Changes in government budgets and agendas, however, may result in future funding being decreased and de-prioritized, and government contracts typically contain provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds are unavailable to the government agency. Furthermore, we cannot be certain of the timing of any future funding, and substantial delays or cancellations of funding could result from protests or challenges from third parties. If the U.S. government fails to continue to adequately fund R&D programs, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to continue operations. Similarly, if we develop a drug candidate that is approved by the FDA, but the U.S. government does not place sufficient orders for this drug, our future business may be harmed.

Risks Related to the Biotechnology/Biopharmaceutical Industry

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition. We may be unable to compete with enterprises equipped with more substantial resources than us.

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition based primarily on scientific and technological factors. These factors include the availability of patent and other protection for technology and products, the ability to commercialize technological developments and the ability to obtain government approval for testing, manufacturing and marketing.

Our ~~Coronavirus~~Smallpox drug ~~candidates~~candidate would compete with the already approved therapies ~~(either EUA or full approvals) and are subject to the COVID pandemic dissipating~~.

~~Page~~Our 75MPox ofdrug ~~106~~candidate at present does not have any known competition, but at least one drug is currently in a clinical trial.

Page 77 of 107

Table of Contents

Our Measles drug candidate at present does not have any known competition. However, the potential market size does not support us committing to regulatory drug development for this purpose without non-dilutive funding from other sources.

Our Coronavirus drug candidates would compete with the already approved therapies (either EUA or full approvals) and are subject to the COVID pandemic dissipating.

Our RSV drug does not have any direct competition at present but there are two protective antibodies as well as three vaccines for RSV, although there are no approved treatments other than the highly toxic last-resort drug, ribavirin.

Our shingles drug candidate would compete with Valtrex®, an approved drug (valacyclovir), and other acyclovir-related nucleoside analogs, and new drugs in the pipeline. FV-100, a VZV-specific nucleoside analog was in Phase III clinical trials that were terminated. Development of ASP2151, a helicase/primase inhibitor, was terminated due to adverse events in healthy persons in clinical trials. We are not aware of any further drugs in clinical trials for the treatment of shingles. Painkillers such as lidocaine formulations and oxycodone formulations were in clinical trials for symptomatic relief of PHN.

Our HSV-1 and HSV-2 skin cream drug candidates would compete with branded and unbranded available skin creams, such as Abreva™, as well as with branded and unbranded oral drug candidates against herpes, such as those based on acyclovir, valacyclovir, gancyclovir, among others. It is not known until after human clinical trials whether our drug candidates provide patient benefits beyond those of these drugs. Other drugs against herpes that are in the pipeline, if approved prior to our drug approval, would also be competition. Several drugs are in clinical trials for HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 treatment. These include brincidofovir, cyclopropavir, valamocyclovir, pritelivir, letermovir, as well as antibodies. Their patient benefit profiles are not known at present.

Our Influenza drug candidate would compete with already approved therapies. Our anti-influenza drug in development, Flucide, would compete with neuraminidase inhibitors Tamiflu and Relenza, anti-influenza drugs that are sold by Roche and Glaxo SmithKline (GSK), respectively. Generic competitors include amantadine and rimantadine, both oral. BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has achieved FDA approval for IV Infusions formulations of peramivir, an influenza neuraminidase inhibitor, for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza. Peramivir is approved in Japan and had obtained emergency use authorization in the US. Its effectiveness during multiple clinical trials was found to be severely limited. Recently, a new drug, Xofluza (Baloxavir marboxil), developed by Shionogi, Inc., and licensed by Roche, has been approved in Japan, USA, and most of the world. It is an influenza viral endonuclease PA inhibitor. Other drugs in this class are in clinical trials. So are drugs targeting the m7G cap-snatching activity (PB2) of influenza virus such as VX787, and antibodies. Several H5N1 bird flu, and influenza novel H1N1/2009 vaccines are also in development worldwide. A new long-acting biologic drug, CD388 (Cidara) is in late clinical trials for use as an influenza prophylactic (i.e. protection before infection, like vaccines), but not as a therapeutic (i.e. treatment after infection and disease). Several companies are developing anti-influenza drugs and vaccines.

We compete with specialized biopharmaceutical firms in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, as well as a growing number of large pharmaceutical companies that are applying biotechnology to their operations, many of which have greater market presence and resources than we do. Many biopharmaceutical companies have focused their development efforts in the human therapeutics area, including cancer. Many major pharmaceutical companies have developed or acquired internal biotechnology capabilities or made commercial arrangements with other biopharmaceutical companies. These companies, as well as academic institutions, government agencies and private research organizations, also compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants. Our ability to compete successfully with other companies in the pharmaceutical field will also depend to a considerable degree on the continuing availability of capital to us.

We hope that our drug candidates under development and in clinical trials will address major markets within the anti-viral sector. Our competition will be determined in part by the potential indications for which drugs are developed and ultimately approved by regulatory authorities. Additionally, the timing of the market introduction of some of our potential drugs or of competitors’ products may be an important competitive factor. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we can develop drugs, complete pre-clinical testing, clinical trials, approval processes and supply commercial quantities to market are important competitive factors. We expect that competition among drugs approved for sale will be based on various factors, including product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, price and patent protection.

●

failure to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or a delay in receiving such approvals. Among other things, such delays may be caused by slow enrollment in clinical studies, length of time to achieve study endpoints, additional time requirements for data analysis or a IND and later NDA, preparation, discussions with the FDA, an FDA request for additional pre-clinical or clinical data or unexpected safety or manufacturing issues;

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Investments in Our Common Stock

General securities market uncertainties resulting from international turmoil.

International securities markets have become highly unstable in the aftermath of extensive spending by the governments to combat COVID-19, the rise in energy prices resulting from the Russian war in Ukraine, the political, social and economic effects of this war, changes in governments leading to changes in monetary and fiscal policies, inflation, and other external factors. As a result, the markets may not be available to us for purposes of raising required capital at the time we need it. Should we not be able to obtain financing when required, in the amounts necessary to execute on our plans in full, or on terms which are economically feasible we may be unable to sustain the level of spending required to pursue our strategic plan and may have to reduce the planned future growth and scope of our operations.

If we do not meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE American our common stock could be delisted from trading, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American, a national securities exchange, which imposes continued listing requirements with respect to listed shares. If, however, we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards, such as, for example, the requirement that our shares not trade “for a substantial period of time at a low price per share,” fail to meet stockholders equity requirements, or that we not dispose of our principal operating assets or discontinue a substantial portion of our operations, among other requirements, the NYSE American may issue a non-compliance letter or initiate delisting proceedings. If our securities are delisted from trading on the NYSE American and we are not able to list our securities on another exchange or to have them quoted on NASDAQ, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including:

●

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

●

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

Page 7779 of ~~106~~107

Table of Contents

●

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for us; and

●

a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3 or obtain additional financing in the future).

Our Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs will reduce or might eliminate our ability to reach profitability.

Our Company is required to file periodic reports with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To comply with these requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our quarterly financial statements and audit our annual financial statements. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time, because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly, or we could become subject to Commission enforcement proceedings.

Our Common Stock may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell.

The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. Historically, the price of our common stock has fluctuated greatly. If, the market price of the common stock is less than $5.00 per share and the common stock does not fall within any exemption, it therefore may be designated as a “penny stock” according to Commission rules. The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common shares, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common shares and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as compared to other securities.

Our stock price may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.

The price of our Common Stock, as quoted on the NYSE American, may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include but are not limited to:

●

progress of our products through the regulatory process

●

results of preclinical studies and clinical trials;

●

announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

●

government regulatory action affecting our products or our competitors’ products in both the United States and foreign countries;

●

developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights;

Page 7880 of ~~106~~107

Table of Contents

●

general market conditions for emerging growth and pharmaceutical companies;

●

economic conditions in the United States or abroad;

●

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

●

broad market fluctuations; and

●

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts.

There is a risk of market fraud.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. We are aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

A registration of a significant amount of our outstanding restricted stock may have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

At June 30, ~~2024~~2025, shareholders of the Company held 1,~~330~~692,~~156~~259 shares of restricted common stock, or approximately 10.12% of the outstanding Common Stock. If we were to file a registration statement including all of these shares, and the registration is allowed by the SEC, these shares would be freely tradable upon the effectiveness of the planned registration statement. If investors holding a significant number of freely tradable shares decide to sell them in a short period of time following the effectiveness of a registration statement, such sales could contribute to significant downward pressure on the price of our stock.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements, which we may enter into with institutional lenders, may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the board of directors decides is relevant. Therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.

We may issue additional equity shares to fund the Company’s operational requirements, which would dilute share ownership.

The Company’s continued viability depends on its ability to raise capital. Changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions may lead to cost increases. Management may also determine that it is in the best interest of the Company to develop new services or products. In any such case additional financing is required for the Company to meet its operational requirements. The sale or the proposed sale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially.

~~Page~~The 79Company is authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 shares of ~~106~~common stock without additional approval by shareholders. As of June 30, 2025, we had 16,606,832 shares of common stock outstanding, 5,720 warrants convertible to 5,720 shares of common stock, and 905,717 shares of Series A preferred stock convertible into 3,170,010 shares of common stock only in the event of a change in control.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock without additional approval by shareholders. As of June 30, 2024, we had 13,144,055 shares of common stock outstanding, 6,862 warrants convertible to 6,862 shares of common stock, and 892,625 shares of Series A preferred stock convertible into 3,124,188 shares of common stock only in the event of a change in control.

Large amounts of our common stock will be eligible for resale under Rule 144.

As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, 1,~~330~~692,~~156~~259 of 1316,~~144~~606,~~055~~832 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock ~~were~~are restricted securities as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and under certain circumstances may be resold without registration pursuant to Rule 144. In addition ~~892~~905,~~625~~717 shares of Series A preferred stock are restricted and convertible into 3,~~124~~170,~~188~~010 shares of common stock only upon of a change of control of the Company.

Approximately ~~668~~1,~~384~~092,000 shares of our restricted shares of common stock are held by non-affiliates who may avail themselves of the public information requirements and sell their shares in accordance with Rule 144. As a result, some or all of these shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144 potentially causing the price of the Company’s shares to decline.

In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six month holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate, as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1), of the Company and who has satisfied a one-year holding period. Any substantial sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s shares. This filing will satisfy certain public information requirements necessary for such shares to be sold under Rule 144.

The requirements of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley act may strain our resources and distract management.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The costs associated with these requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Historically, we have maintained a small accounting staff, but in order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant additional resources and management oversight will be required. This effort may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may need to hire additional accounting and financial persons with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion.

Sales of additional equity securities may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and your rights in the Company may be reduced.

We expect to continue to incur drug development and selling, general and administrative costs, and in order to satisfy our funding requirements, we may need to sell additional equity securities. Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution and a reduction in the price that they are able to obtain upon sale of their shares. Also, any new securities issued may have greater rights, preferences or privileges than our existing common stock that may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially.

providers by conducting vendor diligence upon onboarding and ongoing monitoring, including a review of SOC-1 reports on an annual basis, where applicable.

We have adopted processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. Those processes include response to and an assessment of internal and external threats to the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of our data and information systems, along with other material risks to our operations. In addition, we have implemented procedures over certain areas such as access on/offboarding and account management to help govern the processes put in place by management designed to protect our IT assets, data, and services from threats and vulnerabilities.

Governance

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while our board of directors has responsibility for the oversight of risk management, including risks from cybersecurity threats. The audit committee has primary responsibility for oversight of cybersecurity and is briefed on cybersecurity risks at least once a year and following any material cybersecurity incidents. Our board of directors receives periodic updates from our audit committee regarding matters of cybersecurity. Our board members also engage in ad hoc conversations with management on cybersecurity-related news events and discuss any significant updates to our cybersecurity risk management and initiatives.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in a material effect on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “we believe,” “NNVC believes,” “management believes” and similar language. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of NNVC and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth in the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report. Actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.

Management’s Plan of Operation

The Company’s drug development business model was formed in May 2005 with a license to the patents and intellectual property held by TheraCour that enabled creation of drugs engineered specifically to combat viral diseases in humans. This exclusive license from TheraCour serves as a foundation for our intellectual property. The Company was granted a worldwide exclusive license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus. The Company entered into an additional license agreement with TheraCour granting the Company the exclusive licenses for technologies developed by TheraCour for the additional virus types: Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Viruses causing viral Conjunctivitis (a disease of the eye) and Ocular Herpes, and Ebola/Marburg viruses. The Company completed a license agreement for the field of VZV indications in November 2019 from TheraCour. The Company completed a license agreement for the field of human Coronavirus indications in September 2021 from TheraCour. TheraCour has not denied any licenses sought by the Company in the past. The Company has the right of first refusal for any antiviral drugs with TheraCour.

The Company may seek to add additional virus types to its drug pipeline as the Company progresses further. The Company would then need to negotiate with TheraCour or an unrelated party appropriate license agreements to include those of such additional viruses that the Company determines it wants to follow for further development. Historically, the Company initiates negotiations for additional licenses when initial exploratory research determines that a viable drug candidate for the targeted field is possible. We are seeking to add to our existing portfolio of products through our internal discovery pre-clinical development programs and through an in-licensing strategy.

The licenses granted by TheraCour are for entire set of pathologies that the licensed virus is a causative agent for. The licenses are not for single drug/indication pairs, which is the customary mode of licensing in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, these are very broad licenses and enable NanoViricides to pursue a number of indications as well as develop drug candidates with different characteristics as is best suited for the indications, without having to license the resulting drugs for each indication separately, as with normal pharmaceutical industry licensing.

The Company plans to develop several drugs through the preclinical studies and clinical trial phases with the goal of eventually obtaining approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for these drugs. The Company plans, when appropriate, to seek regulatory approvals in several international markets, including developed markets such as Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and Emerging Regions such as Southeast Asia, India, China, Central and South America, as well as the African subcontinent. Seeking these regulatory approvals would only occur when and if one or more of our drugs have significantly advanced through the FDA and international regulatory process. If and as these advances occur, the Company may attempt to partner with more established pharmaceutical companies to advance the various drugs through the approval process.

The Company intends to perform the regulatory filings for the drugs it is currently developing. The Company will develop these drugs in part via subcontracts to TheraCour, the exclusive source for these nanomaterials. The Company may manufacture these drugs itself, or under subcontract arrangements with external manufacturers that carry the appropriate regulatory licenses and have appropriate capabilities. The Company intends to distribute these drugs via subcontracts with distributor companies or in partnership arrangements. The Company plans to market these drugs either on its own or in conjunction with marketing partners. The Company also plans to actively pursue co-development, as well as other licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies. Such agreements may entail up-front payments, milestone payments, royalties, and/or cost sharing, profit sharing and many other instruments that may bring early revenues to the Company. Such licensing and/or co-development agreements may shape the manufacturing and development options that the Company may pursue.

Although we have been able to develop nanoviricide drug candidates for multiple indications that are safe and effective in pre-clinical studies there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to be able to successfully obtain regulatory approvals, manufacture, and market these products to commence revenue-generating operations.

There can be no assurance that other developments in the field would not impact our business plan adversely. For example, successful creation and availability of an effective vaccine may reduce the potential market size for a particular viral disease, or an effective drug may be developed by competitors that becomes difficult to compete against with our limited resources. Our goal, which we can give no assurance that we will achieve, is for NanoViricides, Inc. to become the premier company developing highly safe and effective drugs that employ an integrated multiplicity of actions as enabled by our nanomedicine approach for anti-viral therapy.

In summary, we are developing and sourcing compounds and preparing nano-materials; performing experiments involving preclinical studies using cell cultures and animal models of efficacy and safety, advancing drug candidates against different indications into IND-enabling safety/toxicology studies,. ~~and~~We we have ~~advanced~~successfully completed Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial for human safety and tolerability of our first drug candidate, ~~for~~NV-387, ~~treatment~~a ofbroad-spectrum ~~COVID~~antiviral ~~into~~with ~~Phase~~multiple ~~Ia/Ib~~virus ~~clinical~~indications. ~~studies~~We are now advancing NV-387 towards multiple indications with different regulatory pathways in a highly cost-effective strategy. We plan on seeking non-dilutive funding for some of the initiatives. We have generated funding through the issuances of debt and the sales of securities under our shelf registration and the private placement of common stock. We have not generated any revenues and we do not expect to generate revenues in the near future. We may not be successful in developing our drugs and start selling our products when planned, or we may not become profitable in the future. We have incurred net losses in each fiscal period since inception of our operations.

Results of Operations

The Company is a biopharmaceutical company and does not have any revenue for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and June 30, ~~2023~~2024.

Comparison of the Year End June 30, ~~2024~~2025 to the Year Ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024

Revenues - The Company is a non-revenue producing entity.

Research and Development Expenses - Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 ~~decreased~~increased approximately $~~955~~112,000, to approximately $5,~~437~~549,000 from approximately $65,~~392~~437,000 for the year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024. This year-to-year ~~decrease~~increase is generally attributable to ~~the~~an ~~decrease~~increase in ~~license~~outside lab fees, ~~offset~~related byto preparation of the ~~increase~~Company’s inPhase ~~outside~~II ~~laboratory~~clinical ~~services~~trial applications.

General and Administration Expenses - General and administrative expenses increased approximately $~~528~~964,000 to approximately $34,~~079~~043,000 for the year ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 from approximately $23,~~551~~079,000 for the year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024. The increase in general and administrative expenses is generally attributable to an increase in professional services including, legal, accounting, and investor outreach expenditures.

Interest Income - Interest income was approximately $~~272~~125,000 and approximately $~~356~~272,000 for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively. Interest income decreased due to lower cash balances.

Interest Expense- The Company has incurred interest expense of approximately $~~50,000~~149 and $~~900~~50,000 for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and June 30, ~~2023~~2024 respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in interest expense for the year ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 is a result of ~~interest expense charged pursuant to~~ the milestone payment ~~note with TheraCour. The~~ interest expense charged pursuant to the milestone payment note ~~was~~with ~~cancelled by~~ TheraCour onfor ~~October 27, 2023. The cancellation of~~ the ~~note~~year ~~interest~~ended ~~reduced~~June ~~accrued expenses and increased additional paid in capital by approximately $50~~30,~~000~~ 2024.

Income Taxes - There is no provision for income taxes due to ongoing operating losses. As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, we had estimated cumulative tax benefits and development tax credits and other deferred tax credits resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $3942,~~772~~492,000. This amount has been offset by a full valuation allowance.

Net Loss - For the year ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025, the Company had a net loss of approximately $89,~~294~~467,000, or a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.7063 compared to a net loss of approximately $8,~~589~~294,000, or a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.7470 for the year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024. The ~~decrease~~increase in the Company’s net loss for the year ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 from the year ended June 30, ~~2023~~2024 of $~~295~~1,173,000 is generally attributable to the items discussed above.

Research and Development Costs

The Company does not maintain separate accounting line items for each project in development. The Company maintains aggregate expense records for all research and development conducted. Because at this time all of the Company’s projects share a common core material, the Company allocates expenses across all projects at each period-end for purposes of providing accounting basis for each project. Project costs are allocated based upon labor hours performed for each project.

The Company has signed several cooperative research and development agreements with TheraCour, and expects to enter into additional cooperative agreements with other governmental and non-governmental, academic, or commercial, agencies, institutions, and companies. There can be no assurance that a final agreement may be achieved and that the Company will execute any of these agreements. However, should any of these agreements materialize, the Company will implement a system to track these costs by project and account for these projects as customer-sponsored activities and show these project costs separately.

The following table summarizes the primary components of our research and development expenses as allocated, during the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Financings

On or about August 1, 2023, the ATM Sales Agreement that we previously had with EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC and B. Riley Securities, Inc., taken together as the Sales Agent, was amended to name EF Hutton as the only sales agent (the “Agent”) and to remove B. Riley as a sales agent. On August 4, 2023, we filed a prospectus supplement relating to the issuance and sale of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,713,022, from time to time through or to our sole sales agent, EF Hutton. These sales, if any, would have been made pursuant to the terms of the August 1, 2023 ATM Sales Agreement.

On April 5, 2024, the Company entered into a new ATM sales agreement with. E.F. Hutton ~~Securities~~ (now EFD. ~~Hutton,~~Boral ~~LLC~~Capital), the sales agent, replacing the prior August 1, 2023 sales agreement, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to the Sales Agents, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million (each such offering an “At-the-Market” or ATM Offering). As of June 30, 2024, the Company sold 1,308,651 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $2.47 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 5, 2023 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2023 in connection with the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-271706), which became effective on May 22, 2023. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $3,120,000 after placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses.

From July 1, 2024 through ~~September~~June 1030, ~~2024~~2025, ~~subsequent to~~ the Company’s ~~fiscal year end, the Company~~ sold ~~772~~3,~~836~~351,096 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $1.9865 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 5, 2023 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2023 in connection with the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-271706), which became effective on May 22, 2023. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $15,~~533~~296,000 after placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses.

From July 1, 2025 through September 24, 2025 subsequent to the Company’s fiscal year end, the Company sold 824,535 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $1.57 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $1.25 million after placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Reserves

As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, we had approximately $~~4,798,000~~1.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our liabilities as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025 are approximately $1.3 million,~~359,000,~~ including accounts payable of approximately $~~376,000~~459 thousand payable to third parties, accounts payable to ~~TheraCour~~related parties of approximately $~~720~~821 thousand,~~000,~~ and accrued expenses approximately $~~262,000~~26 thousand.

The Company has an accumulated deficit at June 30, ~~2024~~2025 of approximately $~~139~~148,~~375~~842,000 and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $68,~~316~~479,000 for the fiscal year then ended. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Since May 2005, the Company has been engaged exclusively in research and development activities focused on developing targeted antiviral drugs. The Company has not yet commenced any product commercialization. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $41.86 million at June 30, 2025, and additional capital raised of approximately $1.525 million by ATM sales of our common stock from July 1, ~~2024~~2025 through September 1024, ~~2024~~2025 and the Company’s existing resources, including availability under its $3 million line of credit will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-K. As a result substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

~~Management~~Page is88 ~~actively~~of exploring additional required funding through non-dilutive grants and contracts, partnering, debt or equity financing pursuant to its plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to fund continuing operations.107

The Company believes that it has several important milestones, including data from and final reports from the Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial for the Company’s broad-spectrum, antiviral drug NV-387. This Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial is for evaluating the safety and tolerability of two oral formulations of NV-387, namely (i) NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies, and (ii) NV-387 Oral Syrup, as described elsewhere, with COVID as the indication. The safety and tolerability data from this clinical trial is expected to be applicable as Phase

We plan on initiating the Phase II study for MPOX as soon as feasible if we ~~get~~will the appropriate regulatory clearances. Additionally, we continue towards developing the Pre-IND and IND applications for a Phase IIa clinical trial of NV-387 for the treatment of RSV infection in adults, to be ~~followed~~successful ~~by a Phase IIb/III clinical trial of NV-387 for the treatment of RSV infection~~ in ~~hospitalized~~obtaining ~~pediatric~~sufficient ~~patients.~~financing Toon ~~this~~terms ~~end,~~acceptable weto ~~are~~us ~~also~~to ~~evaluating~~fund ~~the~~continuing ~~possibility of a Phase IIa clinical trial of a RSV Infection Challenge in Humans~~operations.

The Company believes that it has have several important milestones, including data from and final reports from the Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial for our broad-spectrum drug NV-387 that is now in progress. Additional milestones include filing of clinical trial application for Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for MPox indication, anticipated approval of the application, initiation of the Phase II Clinical Trial, Interim Datasets regarding the Safety and Effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox, Completion of the Phase II Clinical Trial for MPox, as well as filing of clinical trial application for Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for Viral-ARI/SARI indication, anticipated approval of the application, initiation of the Phase II Clinical Trial, interim datasets regarding the safety and effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of a multitude of respiratory viral infections, completion of the Phase II Clinical Trial and data analysis with data regarding efficacy of NV-387 in the treatment of Influenza, RSV, Coronavirus, and possibly other respiratory viruses.

Additional milestones we look forward to include: orphan drug designation filing to the US FDA for NV-387 for the treatment of MPox, smallpox and Measles, Pre-IND Application filing to the US FDA for Smallpox/MPox/Orthopoxviruses, and an IND filing to the US FDA, possibly for NV-387 for the treatment of smallpox under the FDA “Animal Rule”.

As these milestones are achieved, the Company would likely experience improvement in the liquidity of the Company’s stock, and such improvement, if any, would enhance the Company’s ability to raise funds on the public markets at terms that may be favorable to the terms offered at present.

Management believes that it has on-going access to the capital markets including the “At-The-Market” (ATM) agreement with EFD. ~~Hutton~~Boral Capital, the Sales Agent, that became active around April 5, 2024. However, we cannot provide assurance that the Company’s plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates.

Requirement for Additional Capital

As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025 we have a cash balance of approximately $~~4,798,000~~1.6 million and raised an approximate additional $1.525 million through September 1024, ~~2024~~2025 through ATM sales of our common stock.

We believe we will need additional funding to continue further development of our drug candidates through later stages of human clinical trials into regulatory approvals if we do not form a collaborative licensing or partnership agreement with a party that would provide such funding such as Big Pharma.

These anticipated expenses for the subsequent period commencing on July 1, ~~2024~~2025 can be summarized as follows:

1. Planned costs for remaining activities in the Phase Ia1a/Ib1b human clinical trial of NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup and NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies, including bioanalytical activities and reports.

2. Planned costs for ~~the preparation of regulatory documents for filing an IND with the FDA to enter~~ Phase II clinical trial ~~for~~of evaluation of NV-387 asfor ~~treatment of RSV infection in humans~~MPox. These costs include staffing costs for the scientific staff and consulting firms to assist with ~~FDA~~regulatory compliance, as well as material characterization, pharmaco-kinetic, pharmaco-dynamic and toxicology studies, and other items related to ~~FDA~~regulatory compliance, as required for development of necessary data. ~~We believe that we will be eligible to enter Phase II clinical trial for RSV indication based on the preliminary safety and tolerability data from the Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial;~~

3. ~~Additional~~Similarly, ~~R&D~~planned ~~Expenditures~~costs for ~~RSV~~Phase ~~Project~~II ~~including~~clinical ~~regulatory~~trial ~~non~~of evaluation of NV-~~clinical~~387 ~~studies~~for toViral ~~enable~~ARI/SARI. ~~treatment~~We plan on preparing the Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for this trial after regulatory submission of ~~children~~the ~~with~~MPox CTA in DRC. We believe we may be able to initiate the Phase II NV-387-Viral-ARI/SARI clinical trial towards the FY2026 third quarter, but majority of the clinical trial is expected to be conducted during the early part of FY2027.

4. ~~Drug~~Additional ~~Substance~~Non-clinical ~~and~~Safety ~~Drug~~Toxicology ~~Product~~Studies ~~Manufacturing~~of ~~costs,~~NV-387 ~~and~~to enable treatment of children with NV-387.

AsPage ~~our~~89 programs mature and as we are able to move additional drug candidates into human clinical trials we will continue to require additional funding for such activities. The estimates assume that our drug candidates demonstrate effectiveness in humans that is consistent with the activity observed in animal studies, and therefore would require relatively few patients in each arm of ~~each trial in order to establish statistically significant results.~~107

We believe that as our programs mature towards FDA approval, the Company’s market capitalization should improve substantially, based on market capitalizations of comparable public companies in clinical stages. However, we cannot provide assurance that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate.

Our strategy is to minimize capital expenditure. We therefore rely on third party collaborations for the testing of our drug candidates. We continue to engage with our previous collaborators.

Management further intends to use capital and debt financing, as required, to fund the Company’s operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional capital resources, non-dilutive financings, grants and contracts, or pharmaceutical partnerships.

We are considered to be a clinical drug development stage company and will continue in the clinical drug development stage until we can get regulatory approvals and thereafter generate revenues from the sales of our products or services.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Accounting for ~~Stock~~Research Based Compensation – The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all shared-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and ~~non-employees~~Devlopment including employee stock options. Shared-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.Costs

The Company accounts for research and development cost in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). ASC 730-10, requires research and development costs to be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred approximately $5,549,000 and $5,437,000 respectively for research and development expense which are included in the statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, as of January 1, 2024. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), an amount for other segment items by a reportable segment and a description of its composition, and disclosure of the title and position of the CODM.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the CODM, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance. The Company has one reportable segment: life science. The life science segment consists of the development of clinical and preclinical product candidates for the development of the Company’s proprietary anti-viral therapies. The Company’s CODM is the President and Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Segment revenue, profit or loss, significant segment expenses and other segment items - The accounting policies of the Company’s single operating and reportable segment are the same as those described in this Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company’s method for measuring segment profitability includes net income (loss), which the CODM uses to assess performance and make decisions for resource allocation, consistent with the measurement principals for net income (loss) as reported on the Company’s statement of operations. The significant expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM are consistent with those reported on the Company’s statement of operations, and expenses are not regularly reviewed on a more disaggregated basis for purposes of assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.

To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it advances product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval.

The adoption of these disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitation of controls systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2025.

Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2024.

He also serves on the Strategic and Scientific Advisory Boards of several companies, including Actinium Pharma (NYSE-Amer.: ATNM), Saama Technologies, Inc., and Diant Pharma, Inc., as well as Tonino Lamborghini SpA, Italy.

Later, as the CEO of the World-Wide Fund for Nature - India (WWF-India) and then as a Vice President of the National Audubon Society (USA), both non-revenue generating entities, Meeta successfully raised unrestricted funding that significantly exceeded annual requirements and also instituted financial processes to measure a variety of performance metrics. Earlier in her career, she was responsible for designing the strategy and initiating the implementation plan for the highly successful information technology outsourcing program at General Electric (“GE”). Also at GE, Ms. Vyas ran GE Appliances’ Range Products business unit having revenues exceeding $1 billion where her team doubled operating income in less than two years.

COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES

We believe that the compensation programs for the Company’s executive officers should reflect the Company’s performance and the value created for the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the compensation programs should support the short-term and long-term strategic goals and values of the Company, and should reward individual contributions to the Company’s success. Our compensation plans are consequently designed to link individual rewards with Company’s performance by applying objective, quantitative factors including the Company’s own business performance and general economic factors. We also rely upon subjective, qualitative factors such as technical expertise, leadership and management skills, when structuring executive compensation in a manner consistent with our compensation philosophy.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

BASE SALARY. All full-time executives are paid a base salary. Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, professional qualifications, academic background, and the other elements of the executive’s compensation, including stock-based compensation. However, at this time current total annual compensation is not in line with comparable companies, because our philosophy was to pay modest salaries with minimum bonuses to conserve capital resources for future company growth. Our intent is to set executives’ base salaries near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, in line with our compensation philosophy. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and may be increased to align salaries with market levels after taking into account the subjective evaluation described previously.

EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture participated in by our executive officers through the use of stock-based awards. Currently, we do not maintain any incentive compensation plans based on pre-defined performance criteria. The Board of Directors has the general authority, however, to award equity incentive compensation, i.e. stock options, to our executive officers in such amounts and on such terms as the committee

Page 9597 of ~~106~~107

Table of Contents

determines in its sole discretion. The Board of Directors does not have a determined formula for determining the number of options available to be granted. The Board of Directors will review each executive’s individual performance and his or her contribution to our strategic goals periodically. Our Board of Directors grants equity incentive compensation at times when we do not have material non-public information to avoid timing issues and the appearance that such awards are made based on any such information.

DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION

The Company’s executive compensation program for the named executive officers (NEOs) is administered by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors makes independent decisions about all aspects of NEO compensation, and takes into account compensation data and benchmarks for comparable positions and companies in different applicable geographical areas. The Compensation Committee of the Board assists the Board in achieving these objectives.

ERRONEOUS COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY

The Company adopted an Erroneous Compensation Recovery Policy in order to comply with NYSE Rule 811 and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, subject to the terms of the policy, the Company must recover reasonably promptly from its current and former executive officers the amount of any erroneously awarded incentive based compensation received on or after October 2, 2023 and during the three (3) years preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare such accounting restatement. The Erroneous Compensation Recovery Policy has been filed as Exhibit 97.1 of this Annual Report.

On September 7, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement for the field comprising anti-viral treatments for coronavirus derived human infections with TheraCour (the “COVID License Agreement”). Previously, on June 9, 2020, we had announced signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“CoV MoU”) with respect to anti-viral treatments for coronavirus derived human infections (the “Field”) with TheraCour Pharma, Inc., which is now perfected into this licensing Agreement. The licensed field includes antiviral drugs to treat SARS-CoV-2 and its variants that cause the COVID-19 disease resulting in a global pandemic that continues to rage through the world, wave after wave, as new variants develop and take hold. There was no upfront cash payment for the license and the compensation terms were generally consistent with prior licenses, and are summarized below.

Under the COVID License Agreement, the Company obtained a world-wide, exclusive, sub-licensable, license to use, promote, offer for sale, import, export, sell and distribute antiviral drugs that treat human Coronavirus infections using TheraCour’s proprietary as well as patented technology and intellectual property, including the new patent application cited above.

On April 20, 2023, the Company was notified that the Company’s licensee, KMPL, was authorized to enter into Phase Ia/Ib clinical trials of its COVID, NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup and its NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies after satisfying the conditions of a conditional authorization received on or about January 27, 2023. Pursuant to the TheraCour – Nanoviricides COVID License Agreement a milestone payment of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred shares was issued to Theracour Pharma, Inc. On June 14, 2023, the Company was notified that the Company’s licensee, KMPL, has commenced volunteer recruitments for Phase Ia/Ib clinical trials of the NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup and NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies. Pursuant to the TheraCour–Nanoviricides COVID License Agreement a milestone payment of $1,500,000 became due and has been recorded as a non-current liability on the accompanying balance sheet.

Pursuant to a COVID License Agreement dated September 7, 2021 between the Company and TheraCour, the Company is obligated to make certain milestone payments to TheraCour upon achieving certain milestones. TheraCour had achieved the milestone regarding the “Initiation of Phase I Clinical Trials or Equivalent” within 3 months from regulatory approval. Upon achieving this milestone, the Company was obligated to pay TheraCour a cash milestone payment in the amount of $1,500,000. In lieu of this cash payment, TheraCour agreed to accept a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 effective July 19, 2023 (the “Note”). The Note accrues interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and is due and payable on January 19, 2025. The Note is convertible, at TheraCour’s option, into shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Series A Shares”) at the conversion price specified in the terms and conditions contained within the Note. Dr. Diwan recused himself from voting on any action of the Registrant’s Board of Directors in connection with the License Agreement and the Note (as that term is defined herein), and any discussions related thereto. On October 27, 2023 TheraCour exercised its right to convert the principal of the July 19, 2023 Note into 331,859 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock. Furthermore, TheraCour cancelled all of the accrued interest on the Note totaling approximately $49,800 which has been reported as a capital transaction credit to additional paid in capital on the accompanying statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.

On February 12, 2024 the Company requested and TheraCour agreed to suspend the existing license requirement to maintain an advance with TheraCour equal to two months of projected TheraCour invoices which is recalculated quarterly. The suspension will remain in effect until such time as the Company is able to raise sufficient capital. The existing available advance will be applied towards payment of TheraCour invoices.

On February 13, 2024, the Company and TheraCour amended the COVID License Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that the as yet unearned and unremitted cash awards specified in the COVID License Agreement for milestone payments shall not be due and payable until the Company achieves a revenue event which shall mean, but not be limited to, the receipt of revenue by the Company generated from, but not limited to, sources such as (1) research and development grants, government contracts, non-profit organizations and other sources to the extent that the amount of recognized revenue (as defined in the Amendment) is only considered to be the profit portion of revenue event, if any; (2) licensing of third-party development partnerships to the extent recognized revenue is considered to include only the profit or retained earnings portion received from such deals (and exclude any at-cost-reimbursements); (3) drug commercialization wherein recognized revenue shall be the amount of gross profit (i.e., net sales less cost of net sales); or (4) other sources of revenue such as gross profits from private contract work. Additionally, the Amendment provides that no more than 50% of the recognized revenue shall be applied for remitting such consideration at the time of payment. Further the Amendment clarifies that financing raised by the Company from sale of equity, mortgage or debt transactions, and such other instruments shall not be regarded as recognized revenue.

ByOn ~~signing on~~ September 23, 2024 ~~and being effective as of September 20~~, ~~2024,~~ the Company entered into a “Memorandum of Understanding for All Antivirals Drug Development” (the “MOU”) with TheraCour that granted to the Company, a limited, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, exclusive right of first refusal to license to any antiviral drugs in development or to be developed by TheraCour for research and development purposes only, for all as-yet unlicensed viral infection treatment indications. The MOU also clarified the roles and responsibilities of the parties and essentially codified the process that the parties have adopted since inception. The MOU further codified the treatment of all future milestone payments arising from any current or future license agreements to TheraCour to be consistent with the principles adopted in the February 12, 2024 Amendment to the COVID License Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

NanoViricides, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring net losses and net cash flow used in operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Related Party Transactions

F-2

Table of Contents

~~costs~~Related ~~resulting~~Party from their research and development activities which include the performance of preclinical and/or clinical studies and a clinical trial management fee, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, supplies and development material. The Company recorded accounts payable – related party and accrued expense for research and development activities of approximately $720,000 and $227,000, respectively, as of June 30, 2024 and research and development costs incurred with related parties of approximately $2,993,000 included in research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2024.Transactions

As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company enters into certain agreements with related parties which (i) grant exclusive licenses for technologies developed by a related party to the Company for various virus types and (ii) grant exclusive licenses for development and commercialization rights to a related party for certain of the Company’s drug candidates. As part of these agreements, the Company is required to pay certain costs charged by the related parties. These costs include research and development costs resulting from their research and development activities which include the performance of preclinical and/or clinical studies and a clinical trial management fee, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, supplies and development material. The Company recorded accounts payable – related party for research and development activities of approximately $820,000 as of June 30, 2025 and research and development costs incurred with related parties of approximately $2,500,000 included in research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025.

We identified the accounting for related party transactions as a critical audit matter due to the materiality of the related party transactions occurring throughout the year and the significant judgment by management to ensure costs being charged are accurate, complete, and properly disclosed. This is turn led to a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity, and significant audit effort in applying procedures related to those transactions.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of the controls related to the Company’s process for identifying related parties and the approval and disclosure of related party transactions. We performed procedures to test the completeness of related party liabilities at the balance sheet date and expenses for the year then ended. Our procedures included, among others, (i) reading agreements and subsequent amendments; (ii) testing invoices on a sample basis to ensure purchases, expenses and milestones are properly recorded in accordance with the agreements and that appropriate approval from management and the audit committee was received; and (iii) confirming the accounts payable – related party balance, equipment purchases made on behalf of the Company and the research and development costs paid to the related party. We also made direct inquiries of management and viewed public filings, minutes, and agreements for evidence of related parties, the nature of the relationship and that related party transactions were accounted for and disclosed properly.

We also made direct inquiries of management and viewed public filings, minutes, and agreements for evidence of related parties, the nature of the relationship and that related party transactions were accounted for and disclosed properly.

NanoViricides, Inc.

June 30, ~~2024~~2025, and ~~2023~~2024

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical stage nano-biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery, development, and commercialization of drugs to combat viral infections using its unique and novel nanomedicines technology platform. The Company’s platform is based on host-mimicry, and thereby has uniquely enabled development of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that the viruses would be unable to escape, a critical unmet need in antiviral therapeutics. NanoViricides possesses its own facility that supports research and development and drug discovery, drug candidate optimization, cGMP-compliant drug substance manufacturing, cGMP-compliant manufacturing and packaging of drug products for human clinical trials, and early commercialization. The Company has several drugs in various stages of development.

NanoViricides, Inc. is domiciled under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal operations located in the State of Connecticut. The Company’s fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on the next June 30th of the calendar year. The Company operates in one reportable business segment.

The Company devotes substantially all its activity to advancing research and development, including efforts in connection with clinical trials. The Company’s lead drug candidate is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) NV-387. NV-387 is a uniquely broad-spectrum antiviral drug that has demonstrated strong activity in lethal lung infection animal model studies of Coronavirus, RSV, Influenza and even an Orthopoxvirus model for Smallpox and MPox. The Company plans on developing NV-387 first as a treatment of RSV infection in pediatric patients.

At present, NV-387 is undergoing a PhaseIa/Ib human clinical trial for safety and tolerability in healthy subjects for the treatment of COVID-19, sponsored by our licensee and collaborator in India, Karveer Meditech Private Limited (KMPL). The trial involved Phase Ia single-ascending dose and Phase Ib multiple ascending dose studies in healthy subjects. Subjects were sequestered upon enrollment in a dedicated ward of the hospital clinical trial site during treatment. All subjects have been discharged and follow-up visits have been completed as of approximately the end of December 2023. The results of this clinical trial were consistent with the results of a single-injection safety/tolerability study in rats performed in support of the clinical trial application.

The clinical trial application for this clinical trial was submitted during the pandemic and a separate part of the clinical trial for the treatment of COVID patients with NV-387 was also proposed. This second part of the clinical trials was cancelled due to inability to find patients to enroll despite opening a second site. The second site was subsequently closed around April/May 2024. Meanwhile, data upload and crosschecking activities for the healthy subjects Phase Ia/Ib part have now been completed.

The Company is now working on developing the necessary datasets, documentation, and clinical trial pathway and trial designs, for a Phase II clinical trial application for the use of NV-387 for the treatment of RSV infection, as the Phase Ia/Ib study progresses into the data analysis phase.

The Company further plans on expanding the indications of NV-387 to other respiratory viral infections including Influenzas, Coronaviruses, and others.

Additionally, the Company has previously developed a clinical drug candidate, NV-HHV-1 formulated as skin cream, for the treatment of Shingles. The Company plans on taking NV-HHV-1 into human clinical trials, and further develop the HerpeCide™ program after engaging into clinical trials of NV-387 in Phase II for RSV and possibly for multiple indications, including Influenzas. In the HerpeCide program alone, the Company has drug candidates against at least five indications at different stages of development. The Company’s drug candidates against HSV-1 “cold sores” and HSV-2 “genital herpes” are in advanced pre-clinical studies and are expected to follow the shingles drug candidate into human clinical trials. In addition, the Company has drug candidates against HIV/AIDS, Dengue, Ebola/Marburg, and other viruses.

Table of Contents

The Company’s drugs are based on several patents, patent applications, provisional patent applications, and other proprietary intellectual property held by TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (“TheraCour”), a related party substantially owned by Dr. Anil Diwan, to which the Company has broad, exclusive licenses. The licenses are to entire fields and not to specific compounds. In all, the Company has exclusive, worldwide licenses for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Ebola/Marburg viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, viruses causing viral Conjunctivitis (a disease of the eye) and Ocular Herpes (restated), Varicella Zoster Virus (“VZV”) infections (i.e. Shingles and Chickenpox), and SARS-CoV-2 infections. In all cases, the discovery of ligands and polymer materials as well as formulations, the chemistry and chemical characterization, as well as process development and related work will be performed by TheraCour, a related party substantially owned by Dr. Anil Diwan, under the same compensation terms as prior agreements between the parties, with no duplication of costs allowed. Upon commercialization, NanoViricides will pay 15% of net sales to TheraCour. Milestone payments were made or are specified in certain of the license agreements, details of which have been disclosed at the time the agreements were entered into. The Company negotiates and licenses specific verticals of therapeutic applications from TheraCour if promising drug candidates are found in early research and development against a virus target. TheraCour has not denied any such licenses when requested.

The Company has executed a new Memorandum of Understanding with TheraCour by signing as of September 23, 2024 and becoming effective as of September 20, 2024, subsequent to the reported period, whereby the Company has obtained a right of first refusal for all antiviral drug developments including unlicensed ones, and has codified the process of development of drugs for unlicensed viral indications leading later to appropriate license agreements. The Parties have also agreed in this MoU that any cash milestone payments related to development activities, that are awardable, will become payable only upon the Company having sufficient revenue, thus extending the provisions previously incorporated in the Amendment to the COVID License Agreement, to all present and future license agreements. This removes any potential cash flow stress that may occur due to such milestone payments while the Company continues its developments while not raising profits.

The Company has out-licensed NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R for further clinical drug development and commercialization in the territory of India to KMPL, a company of which Dr. Anil Diwan is a passive investor and advisor. KMPL has sponsored NV-CoV-2 for human clinical trials and has obtained regulatory approvals in India. KMPL has retained a local clinical research organization (CRO) to conduct the clinical trials. NV-CoV-2, Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trials in India, sponsored by KMPL began on June 17, 2023. The clinical trial drug products, NV-CoV-2 Oral Syrup, and NV-CoV-2 Oral Gummies, were manufactured at the Company’s Shelton campus, and then shipped to and received by KMPL. Under the agreement with KMPL, the Company will pay for the expenses of the clinical trials, and in return will benefit from having the data and reports made available for regulatory filings in other territories of the world. Upon commercialization, the Company will receive royalties from KMPL equal to 70% of sales net of costs to unaffiliated third parties.

Note 2 – Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit at June 30, ~~2024~~2025 of approximately $~~139~~148.48 million and a net loss of approximately $89.35 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $68.35 million for the year then ended. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Since May 2005, the Company has been engaged exclusively in research and development activities focused on developing targeted antiviral drugs. The Company is in the regulatory drug development phase. It has not yet commenced any product commercialization. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

As of June 30, ~~2024~~2025, the end of the reporting period, the Company had approximately $~~4,798,000~~1.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s liabilities at June 30, ~~2024~~2025 were approximately $1.3 million,~~359,000,~~ including accounts payable of approximately $~~376,000~~459 thousand payable to third parties, accounts payable to ~~TheraCour~~related parties of approximately $~~720~~821 thousand,~~000,~~ and accrued expenses of approximately $~~262,000~~26 thousand. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $41.86 million at June 30, 2025, additional capital raised of approximately $1.525 million by At the Market (“ATM”) sales of our common stock from July 1, ~~2024~~2025 through September 1024, ~~2024~~2025, and the Company’s existing resources, including availability under its $3 million line of credit will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-K. As a result substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon controlling its overall expenses and identifying and securing additional financing.

The Company believes that it has several important milestones, ~~including~~building ~~data~~on ~~from and final reports from~~ the successful Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial for the Company’s broad-spectrum, antiviral drug NV-387. ~~This~~as ~~Phase~~described ~~Ia/Ib~~elsewhere, ~~human~~with ~~clinical~~further ~~trial~~progress ~~is for evaluating the safety and tolerability~~ of ~~two oral formulations of~~ NV-387, ~~namely~~into ~~(i)~~Phase ~~NV-CoV-2~~II ~~Oral~~clinical ~~Gummies, and (ii) NV-387 Oral Syrup, as described elsewhere, with COVID as the indication~~trials.

Management believes that as these various milestones are achieved, the Company would likely experience improvement in the liquidity of the Company’s stock, and such improvement, if any, would enhance the Company’s ability to raise funds on the public markets at terms that may be favorable to the terms offered at present.

Management is actively exploring additional required funding through non-dilutive grants and contracts, partnering, as well as debt or equity financing pursuant to its plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to fund continuing operations.

Management believes that it has on-going access to the capital markets including the “At-The-Market” (ATM) agreement with D. Boral Capital (Formerly EF Hutton LLC), the Sales Agent.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates. The Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its long-term operations and research and development plans including human clinical trials for its various drug candidates until it generates revenue that reaches a level sufficient to provide self-sustaining cash flows. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital or that it will be on acceptable terms. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of such unidentified uncertainties.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through warrants and convertible preferred stock.

F-10

Table of Contents

The following table shows the number of potentially outstanding dilutive common shares excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation, as their effects were anti-dilutive:


	Potentially Outstanding
	Dilutive Common Shares
	For the Years Ended
	June 30, ~~2024~~2025	June 30, ~~2023~~2024
Warrants	65,~~862~~720	86,~~004~~862

The Company has ~~892~~905,~~625~~717 and ~~547~~892,~~674~~625 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively. Only in the event of a “change of control” of the Company, each Series A preferred share is convertible to 3.5 shares of its new common stock. A “change of control” is defined as an event in which the Company’s shareholders become 60% or less owners of a new entity as a result of a change of ownership, merger or acquisition of the Company or the Company’s intellectual property. In the absence of a change of control event, the Series A preferred stock is not convertible into common stock, and does not carry any dividend rights or any other financial effects. At June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024 the number of potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock into which these Series A preferred shares can be converted into is 3,~~124~~170,~~188~~010 and 13,~~916~~124,~~859~~188, respectively, and is not included in diluted earnings per share since the shares are contingently convertible only upon a change of control.

F-9

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheet and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for but not limited to, accounting for share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

●

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

●

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and would be charged to earnings. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company did not identify any indicators or impairment and has not recorded an impairment charge for the years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024.

F-11

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method. The Company generally assigns useful lives of thirty years for assets classified as GMP facility, fifteen years for assets classified as furniture and fixtures, ten years for assets classified as lab equipment, and five years for assets classified as office equipment. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

Intangible Assets

NanoViricides, Inc.’s intangible assets include acquired licenses and capitalized patent costs representing legal fees associated with filing patent applications. Intangible assets with finite lives, licenses and patent costs, are amortized using the straight- line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from seventeen to twenty years. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives, primarily patent costs, are not amortized but are tested for impairment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. The Company accounts for patent costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The Company will begin amortizing the patent costs when they are brought to the market or otherwise commercialized. In accordance with ASC 350, each year the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each patent is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments.

In accordance with ASC 350, each year the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each patent is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments.

Research and Development

All costs of research and development are expensed as incurred.

When preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued clinical expenses. This process involves reviewing contracts and communicating with the personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual cost. Payments under some of the contracts we have with third parties depend on factors, such as successful enrollment of certain numbers of patients, site initiation and the completion of clinical trial milestones, which is usually the case with clinical services contracts.

When accruing clinical expenses, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If possible, we obtain information regarding unbilled services directly from our service providers. However, we may be required to estimate the cost of these services based only on information available to us. If we underestimate or overestimate the cost associated with a trial or service at a given point in time, adjustments to research and development expenses may be necessary in future periods. Historically, our estimated accrued clinical expenses have approximated actual expense incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 – “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all shared-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and non-employees, including employee stock options and grants of warrants to non-employees. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.

The fair value of common stock issued as employee and non-employee compensation is the average of the open and close share price on the date the common shares are issued.

F-12

Table of Contents

The Series A preferred shares are not traded in any market. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Series A preferred shares issued as employee and non-employee compensation are presented in Note 8 to the financial statements.

The fair value of each option or warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

●

Expected term of share options and warrants: The expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value of the instruments. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments, as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term.

●

Expected volatility of the Company’s shares and the method used to estimate it: Expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the option.

●

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends: The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.

●

Risk-free rate(s): The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

~~Income Tax Provision~~F-11

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024. The Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue, if any, according to the provisions of relevant tax law as general and administrative expenses, in the statements of operations.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in FDIC or SIPC insured institutions in excess of federally insured limits under the FDIC. Although the Company currently believes that the financial institutions with whom it does business will be able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its balances in such accounts for the fiscal years ended June 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024.

The requirements of ASU 2024-03 apply to all public business entities. The ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company is currently evaluating the adoption impact of this ASU on its financial statements, the preliminary assessment is that the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and the Company’s disclosures.

non-cash compensation expense related to the issuance of the Series A preferred stock of $49,834 during the year ended June 30, 2025, which was the fair value on the date of issuance.

On April 15, 2024, the Company entered into a new ATM sales agreement with. E.F. Hutton (now D.Boral Capital), the Sales Agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to the Sales Agent, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million. From July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 the Company sold 3,351,096 shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $1.64 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated May 5, 2023 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2023 in connection with the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-271706, which became effective on May 22, 2023). The net proceeds to the Company from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 was approximately $5,296,000 after placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses.

The Company accounted for the proceeds of the ATM Offering, approximately, as follows:


Gross proceeds	$	5,499,000
Less: offering costs and expenses		203,000
Net proceeds from issuance of common stock	$	5,296,000

For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Scientific Advisory Board was granted fully vested warrants to purchase 1,144 shares of common stock at exercise prices between $1.55 - $2.35 per share expiring in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The fair value of the warrants was $679 for the year ended June 30, 2025 and recorded as consulting expense.

For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants granted quarterly to the Scientific Advisory Board on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model with the following assumptions:


Expected life (year)	4
Expected volatility	48.43-54.18	%
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends	0.00	%
Risk-free rate(s)	3.85-4.29	%

For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 2,888 shares of its Series A preferred stock, which are fully vested with a restrictive legend for employee compensation. The Company recorded an expense of $10,809 during the year ended June 30, 2025, which is the fair value on the date of issuance.

There is currently no market for the shares of Series A preferred stock and they can only be converted into shares of common stock upon a change of control of the Company as more fully described in the Certificate of Designation. The Company, therefore, estimated the fair value of the Series A preferred stock granted to various employees and others on the date of grant. The fair value of the Series A preferred stock at each issuance was estimated based upon the price of the Company’s common stock after an application for a reasonable discount for lack of marketability.

For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,786 fully vested shares of its common stock for employee compensation. The Company recognized a noncash compensation expense of $2,125 which was the fair value on the date of issuance.
