NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

ANEW Medical, Inc. ("The Company" or "Public ANEW") develops essential medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases - cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. The Company currently has acquired two licensed platforms: a generic drug portfolio and a biosimilar biologics platform that uses biologic therapies to treat cancer, and two proprietary, patented technologies involving the melanocortin receptor-binding molecules and a gene therapy platform which uses a gene therapy approach to introduce a therapeutic protein called "Klotho" inside the body to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

On September 12, 2022, the Company acquired five market-approved anti-cancer drugs approved for sale in Germany. The Market Authorizations (MA's) are for four of the drugs that comprise the "FOLFOX" and "FOLFIRI" multi-drug regimens used in treatment of metastatic colorectal and gastric cancer and in two of the drugs that are used to treat metastatic lung cancer. The drugs are important in the treatment of many solid tumors in both childhood and adult cancers. Previously, the Company acquired two off-patent bio generic antibodies from Reliance Life Sciences (RLS), the life science arm of Reliance Industries Pvt Ltd. of Navi Mumbai, India.

During January 2023, the Company acquired a treatment for small drug molecules that bind to the melanocortin receptors on human cells and affect skin pigmentation.

Business Combinations

As of May 30, 2023, Redwoods Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a special purpose acquisition company ("Redwoods"), Anew Medical Sub, Inc., a Wyoming corporation ("Merger Sub") and ANEW Medical, Inc., a Wyoming corporation ("ANEW") entered into a Business Combination Agreement, which was amended as of November 4, 2023 (the "Business Combination Agreement"). On June 21, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), Merger Sub merged with and into ANEW, with ANEW continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Redwoods (the "Business Combination"). In connection with the Business Combination, on June 21, 2024, Public ANEW ("the Company") filed the Amended Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State, and adopted the amended and restated bylaws (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), which replaced Redwoods' Charter and Bylaws in effect as of such time. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing"), Redwoods changed its name to "ANEW Medical, Inc." ("Public ANEW").

For accounting purposes, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination are treated as a reverse acquisition and, as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer ANEW will become the historical financial statements of Public ANEW. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Recapitalization

In connection with the merger, Redwoods issued six million shares in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of the Company. At $10 per Redwood's share, the valuation of the Company was $60 million.

Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, 15,130,393 shares of Company Common Stock were outstanding, from which 2,875,000 remain in escrow for the Redwoods founders. In addition, the new Public ANEW assumed 12,030,000 warrants from Redwoods in connection with the merger immediately exercisable and composed of 11,500,000 public warrants and 530,000 private warrants. Following the Closing, on June 21, 2024, the ANEW Common Stock and Public ANEW Warrants began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols "WENA" and "WENAW," respectively. The Public Units of Redwoods automatically separated into the component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security. Further, upon closing of the Business Combination on June 21, 2024, ANEW Medical received approximately $181,339 in net cash proceeds. The Company assumed from Redwoods approximately $589,081 in cash.

At Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and after giving effect to the redemptions of shares of Redwoods Common Stock:

●	The total consideration paid at Closing (the "Merger Consideration") by Redwoods to ANEW Medical, Inc. security holders was 6,000,000 shares of the Company common stock valued at $60 million (the "Consideration Shares"), based on an implied ANEW equity value of $60,000,000 valued at $10 per share;

●

Each share of ANEW Medical Common Stock, if any, that was owned by Redwoods, Merger Sub, ANEW Medical, Inc. or any other affiliate of Redwoods immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") was automatically cancelled and retired without any conversion or consideration;

●	Each share of Merger Sub common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Merger Sub Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one newly issued share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

On March 4, 2024, in connection with the Merger, Public ANEW entered into a convertible promissory note and Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with certain accredited investors (the "Redwoods PIPE Investors") for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,000,000 (the "Redwoods PIPE Financing"), which included 750,000 bonus shares of common stock. Upon the closing of the Redwoods PIPE Financing (funded and closed in connection with the closing of the Merger on June 21, 2024), which totaled $1,950,000, of which $1,768,661 was used by the Company to settle transaction costs. The Company received approximately $181,339 in net cash proceeds.

On April 22, 2024, in connection with the Merger, Public ANEW entered convertible promissory note and Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with certain accredited investors (the "ANEW PIPE Investors") for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,000,000 (the "ANEW PIPE Financing"), which included 900,000 bonus shares of common stock. Upon the closing of the ANEW PIPE Financing (funded and closed in connection with the closing of the Merger on June 21, 2024), which totaled $1,950,000, of which $1,000,000 was used by the Company to settle transaction costs. The Company received approximately $950,000 in cash proceeds.

Concurrent with Closing, certain ANEW stockholders will be issued up to 5,000,000 additional shares of Redwoods' Common Stock, now Public ANEW, (the "Contingent Consideration Shares"), each valued at $10 per share, or an aggregate equity value of $50,000,000, which will be issued as follows:

(i) 2,000,000 Contingent Consideration Shares upon Redwoods achieving a closing price equal to or exceeding $12.50 for 10 trading days within a 20-day trading period in the first three years following the Closing;

(ii) 2,000,000 Contingent Consideration Shares upon Redwoods achieving a closing price equal to or exceeding $15.00 for 10 trading days within a 20-day trading period in the first three years following the Closing; and

(iii) 1,000,000 Contingent Consideration Shares upon Redwoods achieving a closing price equal to or exceeding $20.00 for 10 trading days within a 20-day trading period in the first five years following the Closing.

Assuming all the conditions for the issuance of the Contingent Consideration Shares are satisfied, the sum of the Merger Consideration and the Contingent Consideration will be $110,000,000, assuming a price of $10 per share.

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparable periods up to June 21, 2024 and reflected as such as of June 30, 2024, to reflect the number of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to ANEW's stockholders in connection with the merger. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to ANEW's common stock prior to the merger have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the merger.

For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. In connection with the Merger, in addition to the warrants, Public ANEW assumed $589,081 in cash and $568,111 in income tax payable.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company prepared the Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been consolidated or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2023 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations and were not material.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company's financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The assets and liabilities are valued using a fair market basis as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy established by the FASB that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

	Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2:	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs with little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most conservative level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

					Fair value measurements at reporting date using:
		Fair value			Quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1)			Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Intangible Assets

The Company's intangible assets consist of acquired medical licenses and patents.

The Company acquires medical licenses for the treatment of medical conditions to market and sell in the future. The initial asset cost is the cost to acquire the license. Once in use, the Company amortizes the license cost over the useful life using the straight-line method.

The Company records the cost to acquire patents as the initial asset cost. Once the patents are approved and in use, and assuming no litigations expenses, the Company amortizes the patent cost over the useful life using the straight-line method. The amortization period will not exceed the lifespan of the protection afforded by the patent. If the expected useful life of the patent is even shorter, the Company will use the useful life for amortization purposes. Thus, the shorter length of a patent's useful life and its legal life will be used for the amortization period.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets periodically, or at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy of the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured as the excess of the assets' carrying value over the estimated fair value. Management is not aware of any other impairment changes that may currently be required; however, the Company cannot predict the occurrence of events that might adversely affect the reported values in the future. On an annual basis, the Company tests the long-lived and intangible assets for impairment based on the projected net present value of cash flows for each asset. Prior to the annual impairment test, if circumstances change and a long-lived or intangible asset is deemed impaired, an impairment loss will be immediately recognized in the statements of operations. At December 31, 2023, the date of the last impairment test, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the intangible assets exceeded the carrying value of the assets by 50%, indicating no impairment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is in a pre-revenue state and does not generate revenue. When the Company commences to derive revenue, those contracts will be accounted in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic ASC 606).

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASU 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated 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 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company is subject to Income tax filings requirements in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company's tax returns for years from 2021, 2022, and 2023 are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities.

The Company reports income tax related interest and penalties within the income tax line item on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company likewise reports the reversal of income tax-related interest and penalties within such line item to the extent the Company resolves the liabilities for uncertain tax positions in a manner favorable to the accruals.

Net Loss Per Share (Basic and Diluted)

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued, if dilutive.

The following table details the net loss per share calculation, reconciles between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, and presents the potentially dilutive shares that are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

		For the Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024			2023
Numerator:
Net loss		$	(1,123,683	)		$	(436,872	)
Weighted average shares outstanding (denominator for basic earnings per share)			15,678,898				15,130,393

Basic loss per share		$	(0.07	)		$	(0.03	)
Diluted loss per share		$	(0.07	)		$	(0.03	)

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

		For the Six Months Ended June 30,
		2024			2023
Warrants			12,030,000				12,030,000
Total potentially dilutive shares			12,030,000				12,030,000

Research and Development Cost

Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs are related to the Company's internally funded development of the Company medical licenses and patents. The Company R&D costs were $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Share-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 718 and No. 505. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as an expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

The Company recorded share-based compensation of $37,514 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (DEFICIT)

On June 21, 2024, the Business Combination, among other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, was completed. The transaction was accounted as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Combined Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of ANEW with the Transactions treated as the equivalent of ANEW issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. See "NOTE 1 - Organization and Business Description" for detail.

Equity Incentive Compensation

In connection with the Business Combination, the Public ANEW Board adopted, and the Company's stockholders approved, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan ("Equity Incentive Plan"). Although Public ANEW does not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to Public ANEW's executive officers, the Company believes that equity awards provide Public ANEW's executive officers with a strong link to Public ANEW's long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of Public ANEW's executives and Public ANEW's stockholders. In addition, Public ANEW believes that equity awards with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature provides incentives to Public ANEW's executive officers to remain in Public ANEW's employment during the applicable vesting period. Accordingly, Public ANEW's board of directors periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of Public ANEW's executive officers and from time to time may grant equity incentive awards to them. No stock options or other equity awards were granted to Public ANEW executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and as of June 30, 2024.

Overview

ANEW Medical, Inc. ("The Company" or "Public ANEW") develops essential medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases - cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. The Company currently has acquired two licensed platforms: a generic drug portfolio and a biosimilar biologics platform that uses biologic therapies to treat cancer, and two proprietary, patented technologies involving the melanocortin receptor-binding molecules and a gene therapy platform which uses a gene therapy approach to introduce a therapeutic protein called "Klotho" inside the body to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

As of May 30, 2023, Redwoods Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a special purpose acquisition company ("Redwoods"), Anew Medical Sub, Inc., a Wyoming corporation ("Merger Sub") and ANEW Medical, Inc., a Wyoming corporation ("ANEW") entered into a Business Combination Agreement, which was amended as of November 4, 2023 (the "Business Combination Agreement"). On June 21, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), Merger Sub merged with and into ANEW, with ANEW continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Redwoods (the "Business Combination"). In connection with the Business Combination, on June 21, 2024, Public ANEW ("the Company") filed the Amended Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State, and adopted the amended and restated bylaws (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), which replaced Redwoods' Charter and Bylaws in effect as of such time. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing"), Redwoods changed its name to "ANEW Medical, Inc." ("Public ANEW").

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Item 1, Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

Results of Operations

For accounting purposes, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination are treated as a reverse acquisition and, as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer ANEW will become the historical financial statements of Public ANEW. Under this method of accounting, Redwoods was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of Redwoods, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Redwoods were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

We have not generated any operating revenues to date. To date, the Company's operations have consisted of acquiring our licensed platforms and patents, and planning for the Business Combination. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as our expenses associated with planning our research and clinical testing operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $1,123,683 compared to a net loss of $436,872 for the six month period ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $686,811 or approximately 157%. The increase in net loss was primarily due to increased expenses associated with preparing for our business combination including increases in third party consulting fees and professional fees.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $929,399, compared to $265,429, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $663,970 or approximately 250%. The significant increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to increases in expenses as we prepared to close our business combination. We expect net cash from operating activities to be negative in the coming periods, until our products are able to produce meaningful revenue.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $123,497, compared to $20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $103,497 or approximately 517%. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to licensing payments made in the period.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1,895,424, which consisted of investments and proceeds from the Business Combination. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $250,000, primarily from the sale of the Company's common stock and promissory notes to investors.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $845,336 and net working capital of $101,273.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and incurred significant transaction costs related to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of approximately $845,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $5.5 million. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of these financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an "emerging growth company", as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.

We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common stock less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be more volatile.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2024, and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to us is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
