REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Naya Therapeutics, Inc. (former name Naya Biosciences, Inc.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Naya Therapeutics, Inc. (former name Naya Biosciences, Inc.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023 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 suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are discussed 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 audits 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 the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe 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) relate 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 separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Going Concern
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a going concern due to a negative working capital and losses from operations.
Auditing management's evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluate the financial information that was the initial cause along with managements' plans to mitigate the going concern and managements' disclosure on going concern.

NAYA THERAPEUTICS, INC. (FORMER NAME NAYA BIOSCIENCES, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023 and 2022
Note 1 - Description of Business
Naya Therapeutics, Inc. (former name Naya Biosciences Inc.), or NAYA, ("LEGACY NAYA" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation formed June 8, 2023, aiming to develop and build a group of agile, disruptive, high-growth business segments dedicated to increasing patient access to life-transforming treatments in the areas of oncology, fertility, and regenerative medicine.
LEGACY NAYA's unique capabilities in biology, cell and gene therapy, and artificial intelligence (AI) provide a synergistic platform for the accelerated clinical development and commercialization of these breakthrough treatments.
LEGACY NAYA Oncology aims to achieve clinical proof-of-concept for its two bispecific antibodies acquired from Cytovia Therapeutics, LLC ("Cytovia"), advancing towards breakthrough outcomes for liver & ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma patients. Clinical trials are expected to start in 2024.
LEGACY NAYA Fertility is evaluating the acquisition of product device as well as network of fertility business care.
Note 2- Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On October 18, 2023, LEGACY NAYA acquired two assets from Cytovia. Both companies operate under common control and are accounted for as such. The acquisition did not include any other intellectual properties from Cytovia. As such, the Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements under common control as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods (see Note 4).
In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on income (losses) or cash flows.
8 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalents balances exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and its domestic tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of expenses in multiple state jurisdictions. The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including taxable income in prior carryback years, reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. To the extent the Company does not consider it more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed using the treasury stock method on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock include outstanding stock options and restricted shares. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of current assets and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB's simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU's amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024, which are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 entitled "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". This ASU provides guidance related to additional disclosures that will be required related to income taxes. The updated guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is expected to result in additional disclosures in the Company's financial statements beginning in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Note 3 - Liquidity and Going Concern
Although the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were prepared under the assumption that it would continue its operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt in the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital from becoming available, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, the Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, and the Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and negatively impact its ability to fund continued operations, obtain additional financing in the future and continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such financing, if necessary, will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through licensing of the assets, creating revenue streams through upfront and milestone payments, royalties, and commercial milestone payments or funding the Company through equity financing, the Company will be unable to continue operations.
Note 4- Carve-out Accounting
These financial statements are being prepared based on the acquisition of assets as disclosed in note 5. These are the historical results based on common control accounting.
Indirect research & development costs were allocated based on research and development full-time equivalent approach. The full-time employees, who worked on the projects have been assigned on a weekly basis to work a defined percentage of their time per project. The assigned time per week per project then was summarized on a monthly basis. The monthly assigned time per employee per project finally defined the average allocation per project CYT303 and CYT338 for salaries and indirect research & development expenses. The allocated expenses related to CYT303 and CYT338 represent 32% and 36% of Cytovia's expenses for the years 2022 and 2023 respectively.
10 |
Selling, general and administrative expenses were allocated based on percentage of full-time equivalent approach of general and administrative personnel. Allocated percentages are 12% and 10% for the years 2022 and 2023 respectively.
The cost for the rent for the research & development lab has been allocated with the same principle as described above to the two projects CYT303 and CYT338.
Management believes the assumptions underlying the carve-out combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocation of expenses, are reasonable.
For the portion of the year ended December 31, 2023 following the date LEGACY NAYA was established in June 2023, the financial statements reflect LEGACY NAYA as a stand-alone entity.
Note 5 - Asset Purchase Agreement
On October 18, 2023 LEGACY NAYA, Cytovia Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings") and Cytovia ("Cytovia"; and together with Holdings, the "Sellers") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets shall be comprised of the (A) closing payments (as provided below), (B) assumption of the certain liabilities totaling $2,688,745

In addition, on October 20, 2023 LEGACY NAYA issued a Promissory Note to Cytovia (the "Note") in the principal amount of $6,000,000 for CYT303 of which $750,000 will be paid at the closing of any financing, and $750,000 per month for 5 months and for CYT338: $250,000 will be paid at the will be paid at the closing of any financing and $250,000 per month for 5 months. If LEGACY NAYA or the Combined Company raises more than $30,000,000 in the financing, the full amount of $6,000,000 will be due at the final closing of the financing.
As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding amount per the Note is $4,300,000, as the first payments of $1,000,000, $500,000 and $200,000 were made on January 3, 2024, January 4, 2024, and January 11, 2024 respectively totaling $1,700,000.

NOTE 10 - Income Tax
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company used the separate return method for the preparation of the income tax provision.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no income tax provision recorded. The tax benefit was added to the net operating loss to which a full valuation allowance was applied.
The Company has a net operating loss from formation till December 31, 2023 was approximately $1.6 million and the deferred tax asset associated with it was approximately $0.3 million and is fully allowed.
Utilization of NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), as amended, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an "ownership change" as defined by the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percent of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.
