cash used in operating activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company estimates that its current cash

and development expenses were $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $2.0 million for the same period

the respective comparative period whilst we continue to explore and develop an alternative salt, oral formulation with improved bioavailability.
and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $1.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to lower operating costs of the company under current management. Savings for the
quarter against prior year were $0.9M, but off-set by one-off legacy severance costs and increased legal fees.
other income (expenses), net, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were broadly flat year on year.
Kingdom research & development tax credits for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were $0.4 million. There were no research and
development tax credits for the three months ended June 30, 2025, following the liquidation of the UK subsidiary and the subsequent loss
