 ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 Business Overview

 Alpha Cognition Inc. (the "Company,"
"Alpha Cognition," "we," or us") is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients
suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease ("Alzheimer's disease" or "AD"),
for which there are limited or no treatment options. On July 26, 2024, the Company received approval by the FDA of the Company's
New Drug Application (the "NDA") for ZUNVEYL (benzgalantamine) previously known as ALPHA-1062 ("ZUNVEYL"
or "ALPHA-1062") a delayed release oral tablet formulation indicated for the treatment mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's
type in adults (Alzheimer's disease). The Company's current focus is on the commercial manufacturing and sales of ZUNVEYL
oral tablet formulation. The Company's commercial development program for ZUNVEYL is primarily focused on building a long term care
("LTC") commercial team that can focus on providing key points of differentiation, exploiting key issues with existing Acetylcholinesterase
inhibitors ("AChEI") treatments, and seeking potential licensing partners for other additional indications and new formulations.
The Company intends to target large volume nursing homes specializing in Alzheimer's, to leverage an account based sales team with
demonstrated success in LTC, in order to position ZUNVEYL with Medicare payors, and to work with strategic and clinical partnerships with
consultant pharmacists and long term care pharmacies. The Company has six additional pre-clinical development programs: (1) ZUNVEYL in
combination with memantine for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, (2) ALPHA-1062 sublingual formulation, (3)
ALPHA-1062 intranasal ("ALPHA-1062IN") formulation for the treatment of cognitive impairment with mild traumatic brain injury
(mTBI; otherwise known as concussion), (4) ALPHA-0602, and (5) ALPHA-0702 & ALPHA-0802, the latter two programs also referred to as
'Progranulin' and 'Progranulin GEM's', respectively, for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases including
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and (6) ALPHA-1062 for the treatment
of acute pancreatitis.

 ZUNVEYL, is a patented next generation acetylcholinesterase
inhibitor indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type in adults. ZUNVEYL's active metabolite
is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it binds neuronal nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which
is known to have a positive effect on cognition. In addition to our approved oral formulation, ZUNVEYL is also in pre-clinical development
(1) in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease, (2) alone as a with sublingual formulation for
patients suffering from dysphagia, and (3) alone and referred to herein as "ALPHA-1062IN" that is intended to be out-licensed
for pre-clinical development to study an intranasal formulation for cognitive impairment with mTBI.

 Our other pre-clinical assets include ALPHA-0602
and ALPHA-0702 & ALPHA-0802 (Progranulin and Progranulin GEM's), which are expressed in several cell types in the central nervous
system and in peripheral tissues, promotes cell survival, regulates certain inflammatory processes, and play a significant role in regulating
lysosomal function and microglial responses to disease. Its intended use for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases has been patented
by the Company and ALPHA-0602 has been granted an Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ALS by the FDA. Orphan Drug Designation
was provided for ALPHA-0602 by the Office of Orphan Drug Products, FDA on February 2020 based on the Federal Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act,
whereby the ALPHA-0602 met the criteria designated in Section 526 of such Act. For a further description see the section entitled "——
Orphan Drug Designation". The Orphan Drug Designation allows for exclusivity provisions provided the drug is approved first for
indication: treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALPHA-0702 and ALPHA-0802 are Granulin Epithelin Motifs, ("GEMs"),
derived from full length progranulin which have therapeutic potential across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. GEMs have been shown
to be important in regulating cell growth, survival, repair, and inflammation. ALPHA-0702 and ALPHA-0802 are designed to deliver this
result with potentially lower toxicity, and greater therapeutic effect than full length progranulin. As the assets are pre-clinical and
do not add material value to the Company, the Company will not develop these assets further and instead will seek to out-license the assets
to interested third parties. Given the early stage of discussion with third parties, the Company cannot assess value to a license agreement.

 The Company exercised a reversion of rights for
ALPHA-1062 for TBI, pancreatitis, and related conditions in January and has brought ALPHA-1062 Intranasal for mTBI and related conditions,
ALPHA-1062 for Acute pancreatitis back to the Company to develop both compounds for said conditions.

 Our Strategy

 The Company's principal business objectives
are to:

 1)
 Obtain commercial success with the newly FDA-approved ZUNVEYL delayed
release oral tablet formulation indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type in adults (Alzheimer's
disease). On July 26, 2024, the Company received this FDA approval. The Company will now focus on the development of commercial manufacturing
and commercial sales of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation. Even though ZUNVEYL was approved, it may not achieve commercial success. The
Company hired its Commercial team, and 32 person salesforce in the first quarter 2025. The official commercial launch was announced on
March 19 th, 2025 and ZUNVEYL is now available by prescription in pharmacies nationwide. The Company believes that it has sufficient
capital to break even in year three, provided the Company executes it's commercial plan in Long Term Care market and does not advance
compounds in the pipeline.

 2)
 Pursue its pre-clinical assets when the timing and costs to the Company
permit.

 In order to meet these business objectives, the
Company plans to initiate or complete the following milestones over the coming year:

 Execute commercialization of the FDA-approved ZUNVEYL oral formulation. ZUNVEYL is the second oral therapy available for Alzheimer's patients in the past decade. The Company may pursue new business opportunities for commercial and/or development partners both domestically and internationally.

 Commercialization - The Company completed commercialization preparations for ZUNVEYL in Q1 2025 and initiated commercialization on March 19 th, 2025. The Company will continue to execute its commercialization marketing plan which includes the Long Term Care target market, prioritization of Long Term Care ("LTC") customers, commercialization positioning, marketing messages, and operational plans. Product commercial supply was completed in Q1 2025, and the wholesalers are stocked with the necessary dosage forms of ZUNVEYL (5mg, 10mg, and 15mg).

 Development of Pre-clinical Assets- The Company plans to Pursue non-dilutive funding sources for ALPHA-1062 for Cognitive Impairment with mTBI and Acute Pancreatitis. The Company is advancing benzgalantamine sublingual formulation as a treatment for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease in 2025. The company has initiated formulation modification for this product and plans to run a comparative pharmacokinetic study vs. ALPHA-162IN and ZUNVEYL. Pending the outcome of this study, the company would meet with FDA to align on the clinical study program required for approval of the sublingual formulation.

 Alzheimer's Disease Mild-to-Moderate
Stage Program

 Disease and Market Overview

 An estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and
older were living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2023 (1). This often causes burdensome effects on their families and caregivers.
It is by far the most common form of dementia, estimated to be 60% to 80% of all diagnosed cases (1). Treatment options for
Alzheimer's disease are limited, and health care professionals along with patients/caregivers are generally dissatisfied with the
currently available treatments due to limited efficacy and unmanageable tolerability from adverse events.

 Of the patients with Alzheimer's disease,
the vast majority, approximately 2.5 million (1), have been diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease. Mild Alzheimer's
disease is expected to grow over the next decade, signaling a continued need for symptomatic drugs with greater efficacy and fewer side
effects.

 Current acetylcholinesterase inhibitor medications
are absorbed in the gastrointestinal system and bind to locally present acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down
the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. The local acetylcholine levels are then increased, and the neurons associated with the gastrointestinal
system become overstimulated. The result is an increase of gastrointestinal side effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).

 Alzheimer's Association. 2023 Alzheimer's Disease
Facts and Figures. Alzheimers Dement 2023;19(4). DOI 10.1002/alz.13016.

 Alzheimer's disease symptomatic treatments
are currently limited and perceived to provide limited symptom improvement and cause difficult to manage tolerability side effects. Symptomatic
treatments are designed to improve the ability to learn, remember data, and function normally with daily tasks like toileting, cooking,
or home care. Each year more than 2 million patients are on medication for the disease, which makes up half of the estimated number of
people with Alzheimer's disease in the US. Approximately 70% of patients with mild Alzheimer's disease, 80% with moderate,
and 75% with severe Alzheimer's disease are on drug-treatment. On average, it can take up to 2.5 months from diagnosis to treatment,
but can take up to 2 years, and roughly 32% will never go on treatment. Patients are treated primarily with symptomatic medications to
help the cognitive and functional symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to symptomatic treatments, patients are often prescribed
behavioral and psychiatric medications for depression, hallucinations, aggression and agitation.

 The current and forecasted prevalence of Alzheimer's
disease is a large societal and public health care crisis. More than 1 in 9 elderly people have Alzheimer's disease (age 65 or older),
and of that group, 73% are actually 75+ years old with a majority (61%) being women. Alzheimer's disease was
officially listed as the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, when COVID-19 became
the third-leading cause of death, Alzheimer's disease was the seventh-leading cause of death; official counts for 2022
are still being compiled. Though the length of time varies for each person, on average patients 65+ years will live for
average four to eight years after their Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. With the large baby boomer generation advancing in age
and longer life expectancies, by 2025 Alzheimer's disease prevalence is forecasted to rise 7% to 7.2 million people, and the
number will jump to 13.8 million in the United Sates by 2060. Alzheimer's disease is a significant societal and healthcare
burden due to the large and growing at-risk patient population, physician perceived limited effectiveness of current treatments and
a shortage of drug innovation.

 Symptoms

 There are 5 main stages of severity on the Alzheimer's
disease continuum, which are defined by brain changes and the resulting symptoms that affect a patient's daily life. These stages
are preclinical Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) caused by Alzheimer's disease, dementia due to mild Alzheimer's
disease, dementia due to moderate Alzheimer's disease, and dementia due to severe Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease
is believed to start causing changes in the brain upwards to 20 years prior to symptoms becoming noticeable. Within
the brain, nerve cells become damaged and/or destroyed due to accumulation of beta-amyloid plaque clumps outside neurons, and the
abnormal formation of tau tangles inside the neurons. As these brain changes become more prominent over the years, symptoms begin
to occur and become noticeable. Common cognitive symptoms are memory loss, learning decline, challenges planning or solving problems,
forming words/speaking and confusion with places or time. As symptoms become more severe, they affect daily activities, such as the ability
going to the bathroom, eating and swallowing, drinking, and overall mobility. Alzheimer's disease progresses within each person
differently. Depending on the individual risk factors, time of diagnosis, and other factors, the length of time a patient is within each
stage of the continuum will vary greatly.

 Alzheimer's disease symptoms affect the
whole patient: mind, body and behavior/personality. The five main areas of symptoms are cognitive, psychological, physical, behavior,
and other, which would include sleep disorder and rapid eye movement disorder.

 Adapted from Porsteinsson 2021

 An Alzheimer's disease patient's diagnosis
journey usually begins with their primary care physicians, as they are the first to detect cognitive impairment. Once detected, 99% of
primary care physicians will refer the patient to a dementia specialist. Neurologists/Psychiatrists prescribe 27% of all Alzheimer's
disease Rxs and due to the large Alzheimer's disease afflicted population within LTC facilities, these physicians prescribe 36%
of the total Rxs.

 Alzheimer's disease caregivers carry
a heavy burden

 People suffering from Alzheimer's disease
are not relegated only to the patients. Family members and caregivers are affected greatly and carry a huge burden due to this progressive
disease. The vast majority (83%) of the 11 million unpaid Americans that provide care for Alzheimer's disease patients are
doing so for a family member, usually a parent or parent-in-law. Two-thirds are women and the majority are under the age of 65 years
old. These caregivers provide upwards to 18 billion hours of unpaid care, which equates to $339.5 billion a year. While
many believe they don't have the information or resources necessary to do their job as a caregiver well, they feel they have no
choice but to take on this role, as cited in a 2014 Alzheimer's Association poll. In addition to providing help with daily activities,
caregivers are also providing emotional, physical, communication, and financial support. As the disease progresses and
the patient exhibits behavioral and functional changes that are more severe, the burden becomes larger and the overall stress increases.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, caregivers report feeling high emotional stress, and experience financial and physical
difficulties while caring for their loved one.

 Adapted from Alzheimer's Association Facts &
Figures 2023, Page 50

 Long-term care homes and death rates

 LTC facilities carry a substantial burden in the
care of Alzheimer's disease patients. The costs of health care and long-term care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease
or other dementias are substantial, and dementia is one of the costliest conditions to society. Researchers have estimated that approximately
75% of surviving Alzheimer's disease patients diagnosed at age 70 will reside in a nursing home by age 80, compared with only
4% of the general population. 36% of short-stay (less than 100 days) nursing home residents have Alzheimer's disease or
other dementias, and 58% of long-stay (100 days or longer) residents have this condition. Due to this large and growing population,
15% of nursing homes have a special dementia care unit, which the Company anticipates will become more common place over the coming years
as more baby boomers are admitted. When a patient has been admitted into a long-term care facility, their Alzheimer's disease
symptoms are affecting daily activities and have caused general disability and overall decline in their health. The mental, emotional
and physical stress on the caregiver and family members is extremely high. Some studies state distress remains unchanged or even increases
after a relative is admitted to a residential care facility.

 Alzheimer's disease was officially listed
as the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, when COVID-19 became the third-leading cause
of death, Alzheimer's disease was the seventh-leading cause of death; official counts for 2022 are still being compiled. Alarmingly,
deaths from Alzheimer's disease have more than doubled from 2000 to 2019, to 145.2%, while all other major causes of deaths have
declined or remained the same, such as cancer, heart disease or stroke. Alzheimer's disease accounts for two-thirds of deaths
in a nursing home, which is greater than cancer and any other condition. Due to the stress associated with caring for a loved one suffering
from Alzheimer's disease, 72% of family caregivers experienced relief when the person with Alzheimer's disease or another
dementia died.

 ALPHA-1062 (now known as ZUNVEYL) Clinical
Development

 The original nasal formulation of ALPHA-1062 was
used to conduct Phase I human studies, initially by Neurodyn Life Sciences Inc. ("NLS") a former related party through
common shareholders, and subsequently, on completion of the ALPHA-1062 license agreement, by the Company. The Phase I human
studies included a SAD Study followed by a MAD Study. These Phase I studies were designed to determine the safety of the drug, which
was administered to healthy subjects, including elderly, at increasing doses of ALPHA-1062, initially one time in the SAD Study, and subsequently
multiple times over a seven-day period in the MAD Study. These studies indicated that ALPHA-1062 formulations may have reduced
gastrointestinal side effects (nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) as compared to one of the existing treatments; Razadyne (galantamine is the
generic name).

 Bioavailability and Bioequivalence Pivotal Trials: The
Company completed two studies (fed and fasted) in Q2 2022 (from April to June) and a third in Q3 2022 (from July to August). All studies
were completed in India with Vimta Labs, Inc., a clinical research organization with significant experience in running bioanalytical and
bioequivalence studies. The studies were designed to demonstrate pharmacokinetic equivalence in healthy subjects compared to the reference
listed drug galantamine hydrobromide immediate release (fed and fasted) and galantamine hydrobromide extended release, which are standard
of care treatments for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The studies were designed in accordance with FDA 505(b)(2)
guidance for industry. Primary endpoints of all studies were to evaluate bioavailability and bioequivalence by comparative measurements
of peak plasma concentration (Cmax), and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf.). Secondary
endpoints were to measure adverse events and safety outcomes. Topline results from the bioequivalence studies suggested that ALPHA-1062 achieved
bioequivalent area-under-the-curve (fed and fasted) and peak exposures (fed) relative to galantamine hydrobromide immediate release
and galantamine hydrobromide extended release. There were minimal adverse events (<2%) reported for ALPHA-1062 delayed release
oral tablet formulation during these studies. With these bioavailability and bioequivalence pivotal study results, the Company filed an
NDA for ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's
type in adults during Q3 2023, with FDA approval for the U.S. market on July 26, 2024.

 The following table summarizes the results of
each of the two ZUNVEYL, formerly known as ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation, Pivotal Studies (fed and fasted) — Bioequivalence/Bioavailability
("BABE") Study vs. Immediate Release ("IR") (completed in June 2022) and an additional BABE Study vs. Extended
Release ("ER") (completed in August 2022).

 BABE Study vs. Immediate Release

 The primary objective of both the fed and fasted
studies was to evaluate the relative bioavailability of a single-dose of ALPHA-1062 (or benzgalantamine) 5mg delayed release oral tablet
formulation compared to galantamine hydrobromide tablet 4mg immediate release — the reference drug. Primary endpoints of these studies
were to evaluate bioavailability and bioequivalence by comparative measurements of peak plasma concentration (Cmax), and area under the
plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf.). Secondary endpoints were to measure adverse events and safety
outcomes. Thirty-six healthy subjects were enrolled in each trial.

 Two drug products are recognized to be bioequivalent
if the 90% confidence interval of the ratio of geometric means of the primary pharmacokinetic (PK) responses (after log-transformation)
is within the bioequivalence limits of 80% and 125%.

 A secondary objective of the studies was to evaluate
the safety and tolerability of single-dose administration of ALPHA-1062 5mg delayed release oral tablet formulation. The primary pharmacokinetic
outcomes were AUC0-inf or area under the curve, and Cmax, the highest concentration of drug in the blood. The area under the curve represents
the total exposure to the active drug galantamine over time after a single administration, and the Cmax represents the highest peak exposure
to galantamine.

 Bioequivalence of ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral
tablet formulation to galantamine hydrobromide appeared to be established in both the fed and fasted studies with the 90% confidence intervals
for area under the curve falling within the 80%-125% bioequivalence range. The mean area under the curve ratio to reference drug for ALPHA-1062
delayed release oral tablet formulation was 95% (306.8) in the fasted study and 87% (286.7) in the fed study.

 The average Cmax ratio to reference drug for ALPHA-1062
delayed release oral tablet formulation was 76% (30.7) in the fasted study and 91% (27.6) in the fed study both Cmax results being higher
than the published Cmax data for galantamine hydrobromide 8 mg extended release capsule. Bioequivalence of ALPHA-1062 delayed release
oral tablet formulation appeared to be demonstrated based on overall drug exposure in both the fed and fasted states, and the Cmax with
ALPHA-1062's delayed release oral tablet formulation is expectedly lower than that of the immediate release formulation of galantamine,
yet higher than the published data with galantamine extended release capsule. Bioequivalence of ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet
formulation appeared to be established on Cmax compared to galantamine hydrobromide in the fed state. When the Cmax of a proposed drug
product falls between the reported Cmax of two formulations of an approved reference product (immediate and extended release), this should
allow for a scientific bridge to both formulations of the reference standard galantamine hydrobromide.

 Single-dose administration of ALPHA-1062 delayed
release oral tablet formulation was well tolerated with no adverse events reported.

 BABE Study vs. Extended Release

 During August 2022, the Company announced results
from an additional bioequivalence study with ALPHA-1062. The Company elected to conduct this additional study which was designed to demonstrate
pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence between ALPHA-1062 5mg delayed release oral tablets and 8 mg galantamine hydrobromide extended release
capsules, when dosed to steady state. Bioequivalence appeared to be established based on total drug exposure (AUC) and the Cmax was expectedly
higher than that of the extended release reference. These data, coupled with the bioavailability and bioequivalence pivotal data released
in June, establishes bioequivalence to both formulations of galantamine hydrobromide, based on the approval of the FDA on July 26, 2024.

 The study was a two-treatment, two-period, crossover
study wherein 40 subjects were randomly assigned 1:1 to either treatment with ALPHA-1062 5mg delayed release oral tablet formulation twice
daily, or galantamine hydrobromide 8mg ER capsules once daily, for 7 days. After a one-week washout period, subjects were then crossed
over to the other treatment arm and dosed for 7 days. Primary endpoints of all studies were to evaluate at day seven bioavailability and
bioequivalence by comparative measurements of peak plasma concentration of test and reference (Cmax), and area under the plasma concentration-time
curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-24.). Secondary endpoints were to measure adverse events and safety outcomes.

 Topline results suggested that in healthy adult
volunteers treated to steady state, ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation was bioequivalent to galantamine hydrobromide extended
release. In the pre-specified primary analysis, ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation achieved area-under-the-curve and peak
exposures

 (Cmax) of approximately 107% and 127%, respectively,
compared to those generated by galantamine hydrobromide extended release. As expected, Cmax results for ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral
tablet formulation is bracketed between galantamine hydrobromide immediate release and galantamine hydrobromide extended release (lower
than immediate release, higher than extended release) providing the data set for the NDA filing. These data further describe the delayed
release profile of ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation and supplements the NDA data set by characterizing the therapeutic
and acceptable exposures compared to both the immediate release and extended release products.

 Multiple dose administration of ALPHA-1062 delayed
release oral tablet formulation was well tolerated with two adverse events reported, both of which were mild and transitory. No serious
safety issues were observed in the study. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company met with FDA regarding the ALPHA-1062 program
for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The Company received feedback regarding the ALPHA-1062 RESOLVE trial, labeling, and manufacturing.
Labeling and manufacturing guidance for stability of ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation was provided by FDA to support
commercial strengths in commercially marketed product. The Company believes it has demonstrated the required stability endpoints for twelve
months of long-term stability data in the three potential strengths of ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation. The RESOLVE
trial was a trial designed to measure adverse events in an Alzheimer's population and provide label enabling data for ALPHA-1062
delayed release oral tablet formulation. It was not a required trial to complete in order to submit an NDA application for approval. Post
second quarter meeting with FDA, the Company determined this trial would not be implemented and informed the FDA on this matter. As a
result of the agency's feedback that the ALPHA-1062 RESOLVE trial was not required for the submission of an NDA, the Company filed
its NDA for ALPHA-1062 delayed release oral tablet formulation in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease in Q3 2023, allowing the
Company to include additional CMC stability data in the NDA filing. See the section entitled "Risk Factors — Risks Related
to Government Regulation — The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities are
lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable".

 Commercialization

 ZUNVEYL Alzheimer's Disease Commercialization

 During the second half of 2023 the Company started,
in parallel with the Company's regulatory activities, taking steps to develop a commercialization team to launch ZUNVEYL in the
U.S. The Company has completed sufficient planning and launched ZUNVEYL on March 19 th, 2025 using a specialty sales force that
focuses on LTC physicians in the U.S. LTC physicians who treat elderly patients that reside in nursing homes also make pharmacologic decisions
in concert with the LTC treatment team. Our research has indicated that the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) prescription market
in the U.S. from the LTC market is large, representing 36% of the over 11 million prescriptions filled in pharmacies each year. The AChEI
class includes Aricept, Exelon, Exelon Patch, Razadyne, Adlarity, Namzaric, and generic versions of the AChEIs. Prescription data suggests
that there is currently high turnover of patients treated with currently approved AChEI medications, with 30% of patients discontinuing
treatment by month 4 and 55% discontinuing treatment within one year. The Company believes that patients who discontinue a first therapy
will try a 2nd and 3rd line therapy. Patient willingness to try multiple therapeutics provides an opportunity for ZUNVEYL to take market
share in the overall AChEI market. The sales force will message potential key points of label differentiation and exploit key issues with
existing AChEI medications. The Company will attempt to secure product coverage with U.S. payors. Market research indicates that payors
are likely to cover ZUNVEYL if the product is competitively priced.

 Additionally, the Company intends to seek strategic
partnerships to expand promotional efforts and physician promotional coverage. Since ZUNVEYL received FDA regulatory approval, the Company
expects to seek distribution partners for major territories, identified as Europe, LATAM (Mexico, Central and South America), and Asia.
Distributors often have a deep understanding of local market dynamics, including regulatory requirements, distribution channels, and consumer
preferences. Partnering with a local distributor should allow the Company to leverage this expertise and navigate the complexities of
entering a new market more effectively. FDA regulatory approval does not guarantee regulatory approval for distribution in other territories.
We will need to seek and obtain regulatory approval through the processes in each of the above mentioned jurisdictions, which will take
additional time and resource. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors — We have conducted, and in the future plan to
conduct, clinical trials for product candidates outside the United States, and the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities may
not accept data from such trials". Additionally, the Company intends to seek approval for potential additional indications and product
line extensions.

 On January 8, 2025, the Company announced an exclusive
licensing agreement with China Medical System Holdings Limited (CMS) for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of ZUNVEYL
(benzgalantamine) in Asia (excluding Japan), Australia and New Zealand. ZUNVEYL is a next generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor approved
in the US for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Terms of the agreement total $44 million, which includes $6
million in total upfront payments split into tranches and development and commercial milestone payments. Additionally, ACI is eligible
to receive royalties on net sales of ZUNVEYL in Asia (excluding Japan), Australia and New Zealand. CMS will be responsible for the regulatory,
development, manufacturing, and commercialization of ZUNVEYL in the licensed territories.

 On January 14, 2025, the Company announced the
strategic appointments of Jen Pesa, Vice President of Commercial; Jack Kelly, Head of Market Access; Rommel Fernandez, Vice President
of Corporate Strategy and Operations; and Kurt Grady, Vice President of Medical Affairs. These hires mark significant milestones in building
Alpha Cognition's commercial and medical teams.

 On March 19, 2024, the Company announced the
official commercial launch of ZUNVEYL.

 Potential ZUNVEYL coverage and reimbursement
in the United States

 The Company believes ZUNVEYL will have limited
payor barriers based on current US access and reimbursement data of generic Alzheimer's disease symptomatic medications (e.g., acetylcholinesterase
inhibitors, memantine) and branded Namzaric which are widely accessible to most MA-covered lives. Donepezil and Namzaric are
mostly covered by health care plans.

 Third party market research with pharmacy and
medical directors, indicates that coverage of ZUNVEYL would be similar to Namzaric. They forecast ZUNVEYL to be managed at a preferred
or non-preferred branded tier, without Prior Authorization or step edits, depending on rebates, as long as it is competitively priced
and differentiated from other products via its improved tolerability. Importantly, caregiver market research highlights cost is not an
issue. They are willing to pay a premium for a product that is more efficacious with less side effects. This provides additional confidence
to the Company that family members will request branded ZUNVEYL for their mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease patients, even at
a higher cost than current generics.

 The Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) for ZUNVEYL
has been set at $749 per month. This pricing reflects the company's commitment to ensuring affordability and access while supporting the
commercialization strategy in the $2 billion U.S. Alzheimer's long-term care market. The WAC price serves as the benchmark for negotiations
with payers and channel partners, influencing reimbursement dynamics and market access strategy. Alpha Cognition remains focused on optimizing
patient access and formulary positioning to drive adoption and long-term revenue growth

 Competitive Conditions and ZUNVEYL Positioning

 Alzheimer's disease symptomatic treatments
are currently limited and perceived to provide limited symptom improvement and cause difficult to manage tolerability side effects. Symptomatic
treatments are designed to improve the ability to learn, remember key events and loved ones, and function normally with daily tasks like
toileting, cooking, or home care. Each year greater than 2 million patients are on medication for the disease, which makes up half of
the estimated number of people with Alzheimer's disease in the US. Approximately 70% of patients with mild Alzheimer's disease,
80% with moderate, and 75% with severe Alzheimer's disease are on drug-treatment. On average, it can take up to 2.5 months from
diagnosis to treatment, but can take up to 2 years, and roughly 32% will never go on treatment. Patients are treated primarily with symptomatic
medications to help the cognitive and functional symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to symptomatic treatments, patients
will also be prescribed behavioral and psychiatric medications for depression, hallucinations, aggression and agitation.

 There are five symptomatic drug treatments that
have been approved by the FDA to date for mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type in adults, including ZUNVEYL.

 1)
 Donepezil (marketed under the brand name, Aricept by Eisai and Pfizer)

 a.
 First-to-market, approved in 1996; generic

 b.
 Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug class, oral QD medication

 c.
 Indicated for mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe stages of Alzheimer's disease

 2)
 Rivastigmine capsules and patch (marketed under the brand name Exelon/Exelon Patch by Novartis)

 a.
 Approved in 2000; 2007 generic

 b.
 Exelon capsules: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug class, oral BID tablet and oral solution

 c.
 Exelon Patch: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug class, daily transdermal system

 d.
 Indicated for mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe stages of Alzheimer's disease

 3)
 Galantamine (marketed under the brand names Reminyl and Razadyne/Razadyn ER by Janssen)

 a.
 Approved in 2001, 2004; generic

 b.
 Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug class, oral BID medication

 c.
 Indicated for mild-to-moderate stage of Alzheimer's disease

 4)
 Donepezil transdermal system (marketed under the brand name Adlarity by Corium)

 a.
 Approved in 2022, branded transdermal patch

 b.
 Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug class, once-weekly transdermal system

 c.
 Indicated for mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe stages of Alzheimer's disease

 5)
 Benzgalantamine (marketed under the brand name ZUNVEYL by Alpha Cognition)

 a.
 Approved in 2024, commercially available in Q1 2025

 b.
 Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drug class, oral BID medication

 c.
 Indicated for mild-to-moderate stage of Alzheimer's disease

 The FDA approved Aducanumab (marketed under the
branded name Adulhelm by Biogen) in 2021 and lecanemab (marketed under the branded name Leqembi by Easai) for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's
disease. Adulhelm was the first disease modifying treatment (DMT), but due to several issues associated with the drug, including CMS restricting
overage, it was not easily accessible and was only covered for qualified clinical trial patients. Biogen has announced that it is discontinuing
sale of Adulhelm by the end of 2024. Leqembi is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is expected that coverage
and utilization may be better for Leqembi than Adulhelm, but this will only be apparent after several quarters of commercialization. It
is important to note that DMT agents will not be a competitor to the current standard of care, the AChEI class. DMTs will be used in combination
with these medications, as they do not address the symptoms of the disease.

 Alzheimer's disease is a highly genericized
market with limited drug development innovation. As noted above, three out of the five approved symptomatic medications are generic and
many have been in the market up to two decades. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitors drug class (i.e.: donepezil 70% market share, rivastigmine
4.86% market share, and galantamine 2.27% market share) are largely prescribed, with approximately 80% of the total Rx market share. N-methyl-D
(NMDA) receptor agonists (memantine and branded Namzaric) are indicated for moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease and as such are
used in later stages, and as combination therapy with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Due to the perceived limited efficacy and side
effects of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor medications, patients are often taking multiple therapies, ultimately increasing their drug
burden. ~60% of patients are on combination therapy in hopes of increasing efficacy outcomes and mitigating side effects. Of note, 55%
of patients progress to second line therapy, and 60% will progress further to a third line therapy. This further illustrates the unmet
needs of current treatment options, but also the patient's willingness to keep trying medication until something works.

 Source: Decision Resources Group, 2021

 The perceived limited efficacy or not enough efficacy
improvement, and tolerability side effects, including gastrointestinal issues (nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting), insomnia, cause a substantial
rate of treatment discontinuation. Some data and studies suggest that patients on acetylcholinesterase inhibitor medications, will discontinue
treatment approximately 30% of the time within 4 months and 55% discontinue therapy within 12 months. Gastrointestinal issues are cited
as a leading reason for discontinuing treatment, as reported in both physicians and caregiver market research. The high rates of gastrointestinal
adverse effects are also included in the prescribing information for each approved drug. The most common adverse events that are reported
to lead to discontinuation of therapy were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and decreased appetite among acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
Prescribing habits within long-term care physicians, seem to be well entrenched, and overall, physicians report feeling dissatisfied and/or
apathetic about their symptomatic treatment options. Caregivers also expresses dissatisfaction with the currently approved symptomatic
treatments options.

 Our solution: ZUNVEYL

 There is a significant unmet need for better treatment
options for patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The Company believes that ZUNVEYL is poised to be a next-generation treatment
option. The Company believes that we can differentiate ZUNVEYL based on several potential advantages to Alzheimer's disease patients:

 Established efficacy of galantamine with cognitive and functional improvement results

 Clinical data published in Neurology in April 2021, supports significant risk reduction in risk of developing
severe dementia and strongest effect on cognition

 Dual mechanism of action, enhancing the acetylcholine levels and nicotinic receptor sensitivity

 Enteric-coated tablet that passes through the GI tract as an inactive
compound to potentially minimize GI side effects ((nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea))

 No incidence of insomnia in the FDA approved label for ZUNVEYL

 According to primary market research conducted
by and for the Company, including a report prepared by a third-party paid for by the Company in October 2021, we believe the market research
confirms that based on the product attributes listed above, 88% of LTC prescribers are likely to prescribe ZUNVEYL, with a 29% preference
share.

 Alzheimer's Disease Moderate-To-Severe
Stage Program

 Disease and Market Overview

 Our second program is a combination oral product
of benzgalantamine and memantime for moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease. The product is in formulation and pre-clinical development.
The Company believes combining ALPHA-1062 with previous FDA approved NMDA receptor memantine would provide differentiating efficacy and
an attractive tolerability profile to patients within these advance stages. Moderate Alzheimer's disease and severe Alzheimer's
disease affects a total of ~1.4M patients in the United States. In 2020, over 7 million Rx's were written for memantine-containing
product. In the moderate stage of Alzheimer's disease symptoms becomes more intense, significantly affecting patients' everyday
life. They have difficulties with communication and personality and behavioral changes present. The caregiver burden also increases during
this stage, as many activities (dressing, bathing, bathroom) require assistance and management. In the severe stage of the disease, patients
will experience more robust and debilitating symptoms. The complete deterioration of cognition and functional abilities require round-the-clock
care, eating and drinking prove difficult, and they usually become bed bound. On average 40% of the final years of an Alzheimer's
disease patients (ages 70 to 80 years old) will be spent in the severe stage and the nature of the symptoms leads to the vast majority
being admitted into a LTC facility.

 Increasing caregiver burden

 The caregiver burden rises to new heights during
these stages, and many describe it as "extremely stressful". The last 12 months of life, people with dementia relied on more
hours of family care (64.5 hours per week), 59% of caregivers felt they were "on duty" 24 hours a day, and financial care
costs increase. Once a decision is made to place the patient into a LTC facility, the stress of the caregiver isn't alleviated.
In fact, many say the distress is unchanged or even increases.

 Our Product and Approach to Treatment

 The Company plans to develop ALPHA-1062+ memantine,
to simplify the co-administration of these drugs by a patient or caregiver with the goal of increasing compliance and adherence to
the prescribed regimen. We believe that ALPHA-1062 + memantine has the potential to be adopted by patients already taking Namzaric or
generic combination therapy as well as moderate to severely affected patients currently taking donepezil or memantine alone.

 Following the launch of ALPHA-1062 now known
as ZUNVEYL for the treatment of mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type in adults (Alzheimer's disease), we
plan to progress the development of ALPHA-1062 + memantine through a streamlined 505(b)2 regulatory path. The product combination
is currently in a pre-clinical stage of development and will require additional product development and pre-clinical studies
to advance to an IND. Should the product advance ultimately to FDA approval, the Company believes ALPHA-1062 + memantine would have
the potential to provide differentiating product characteristics including, 3 mechanisms of action and a minimal side effect profile for
the treatment of moderate-to-severe dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. The Company believes ALPHA-1062 &
memantine will be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract; ALPHA-1062 inertly with minimal gastrointestinal side effects and
memantine with acceptable side effects when up-titrated. The combination therapy will act via 3 distinct mechanisms of action acetylcholinesterase
inhibition, enhanced nicotinic receptor activity and sensitivity, and NMDA receptor antagonism. The Company believes ALPHA-1062 +
memantine could capture a substantial market share due to physicians' established practice of prescribing combination therapies
in later stages of Alzheimer's disease and patients' acceptance of multiple medications.

 As long-term care settings predominate in
the provision of care to moderately-to-severely affected patients, the Company will also raise awareness of the compelling results
from the Swedish Dementia Registry that demonstrated that galantamine had the strongest effect on cognitive improvement and was the only
drug to demonstrate a significant reduction in the risk of developing severe dementia, and a lower risk of death as compared to other
evaluated acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

 Should both ALPHA-1062 and the combination
therapy (ALPHA-1062+memantine) ultimately be approved for commercialization, the Company would be able to offer a solution that treats
all the stages of Alzheimer's disease. The Company will plan to leverage the existing sales forces being established for the mild-to-moderate indication
targeting LTC providers. These groups make up 36% of all Rx within the Alzheimer's disease market. The Company will
promote awareness and educate on differentiating features of its marketed treatments The sales force approach will consist of long-term care
home materials, peer-to-peer learning programs, partnerships with Alzheimer's disease and long-term care societies and
associations.

 For caregivers, we plan to deploy a targeted multi-channel market
campaign with the goal of motivating requests for ALPHA-1062 + memantine from their physician. Channels utilized will be focused
on long-term care home, partnership with patient advocacy groups, public relation efforts, website education, and a focused media
strategy.

 Potential ALPHA-1062 coverage and reimbursement
in the United States

 US payers have granted branded Namzaric wide
access to most MA-covered lives and it is mostly covered on preferred tiers. The Company believes the ALPHA-1062 + memantine
would be treated similarly. Since ZUNVEYL received approval for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, the payer team
intends glean additional insights from their customers to determine commercial price and potential payer coverage by the payer community.

 Pre-Clinical Product Candidates

 Alzheimer's Disease Mild-to-Moderate
Stage: ALPHA-1062 sublingual formulation

 ALPHA-1062 sublingual formulation will also be developed
as an alternative formulation for patients who suffer from dysphagia (inability to swallow). A number of Alzheimer's patients are
estimated to suffer from dysphagia and utilize alternative liquid or patch formulations for medicine administration. A systematic review
( Dement Neuropsychol. 2022 Jul-Sep; 16(3): 261-269) estimated dysphagia prevalence
of greater than 80% of moderate to severe patients with Alzheimer's. The sublingual formulation would allow for a dissolvable tablet
that could provide medicine to these patients in an alternative method of administration. The Company completed an internal, unpublished
in vitro study to evaluate absorption of the technology with a sublingual tablet formulation. The study demonstrated that the tablet enabled
active drug release in 30 seconds. An open label, single-dose, bioavailability study was conducted to determine the plasma levels of ALPHA-1062
in healthy, adults under fasting conditions. An 11mg sublingual tablet was administered to 10 subjects to measure active bioavailability,
tolerability, and safety. Study results demonstrated 90% bioavailability and a formulation that was well tolerated. No safety signals
were observed in the study. The formulation is in early development phases and further development has been initiated to further modify
the sublingual formulation and run comparative pharmacokinetic studies vs. ALPHA0162IN and benzgalantamine oral. The data will be discussed
with FDA to determine next steps for this program.

 Alzheimer's Disease Moderate-to-Severe
Stage: ALPHA-1062 + Memantine Fixed Combination Drug

 On
July 26, 2024, the Company received approval for ALPHA-1062 indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the
Alzheimer's type in adults (Alzheimer's disease), and the Company plans to progress the development of a combination
product candidate comprising ALPHA-1062 + memantine. The product candidate combination is currently in pre-clinical development and
will require formulation work and potentially a preclinical study before submitting an IND to FDA. The Company plans to initiate the
streamlined 505(b)2 regulatory path for approval but will need additional FDA feedback on the required development steps for the
combination product candidate. The Company believes an ALPHA-1062 + memantine product candidate may utilize a triple mechanism of
action approach to optimize therapeutic effect. We believe that the mechanism of action works via the dual ALPHA-1062 pathways,
acetylcholinesterase inhibition and enhancing the nicotinic receptor activity and sensitivity, plus the memantine pathway via a
different neurotransmitter called N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonism (NMDA receptor). The Company believes ALPHA-1062 +
memantine could potentially capture market share by providing education on its differentiating features and product profile to
physicians who prescribe combination products, and to caregivers who care for patients already on a combination product and/or are
in the later stages of Alzheimer's disease symptom progression. The formulation is in early development stages and further
development will be contingent upon the Company obtaining additional capital resources through financing and further alignment with
the FDA on the scope and requirements of a development program.

 Traumatic Brain Injury: ALPHA-1062 Intranasal
Formulation

 mTBI: The Company has completed a pre-clinical
study of ALPHA-1062IN in mTBI. The Company is encouraged by the preclinical data and met with the FDA in Q2 2023 to discuss IND submission
and gain alignment with FDA on further clinical plans. The FDA indicated in this meeting that further pre-clinical single species toxicity
study and additional manufacturing work will be needed to file IND for Cognitive Impairment with mild mTBI and potentially enter into
a Phase 2 trial. The Company has completed Phase 1 clinical single ascending dose ("SAD") and multiple ascending dose ("MAD")
studies with ALPHA-1062 Intranasal formulation for a different indication (Alzheimer's disease) and believes these studies can be
utilized with the mTBI indication because the formulation utilizes the same delivery system and active drug. The Company expects to initiate
the additional pre-clinical toxicity and manufacturing work in the future. The Company would then be in the position to file an IND for
ALPHA-1062IN.

 In December 2021, the Company announced functional
data from an animal study under the ALPHA-1062 TBI program. ALPHA-1062 intranasal administration significantly reduced the extent of the
functional deficit, and improved functional recovery of TBI animals compared to untreated animals suffering a TBI. Notably, in four of
five functional measures of recovery, the performance of the ALPHA-1062IN treated group was statistically indistinguishable from that
of the uninjured cohort.

 In a rodent model of TBI, ALPHA-1062IN or vehicle
(purified water as treatment control) was administered intranasally, with treatment initiated 2 hours after injury and continued twice
daily for 35 days. ALPHA-1062IN significantly:

 Acutely limited the extent of motor deficit.

 Improved motor and sensory functional recovery measured by motor skill assessment, sensory/motor skill
assessment, and Modified Neurological Severity Score which comprises motor, sensory, balance and reflex assessment.

 Improved cognitive functional recovery measured by tests which assess recognition memory, and spatial
learning and memory.

 The Company completed SAD with intranasal administration.
The study was a double-blind, comparator and placebo-controlled, sequential cohort, SAD in 58 healthy human subjects with ALPHA-1062IN
in doses of 5.5, 11, 22, 33, 44mg compared to oral galantamine 16mg and donepezil 10mg. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics,
and pharmacodynamics were assessed. ALPHA-1062IN doses up to 33mg were well tolerated and induced a dose-dependent increase in plasma
concentrations of ALPHA-1062IN and galantamine. ALPHA-1062IN was well tolerated and no safety issues were observed.

 The Company completed a MAD with intranasal administration.
The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with multiple intranasal doses of ALPHA-1062IN in 48 healthy human
subjects. Results from the study were ALPHA-1062IN plasma concentrations increased immediately following dosing, Cmax and AUC increased
in a dose-linear manner over all three dose levels. ALPHA-1062IN adverse events were equivalent with placebo with no safety signals observed.

 Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Market

 According to secondary
market research conducted by and for the Company, including a report prepared by a third-party paid for by the Company dated June 2020,
we believe that TBI is a highly prevalent, and increasingly common condition, with nearly 3 million diagnosed events occurring in the
United States alone in 2019 with an estimated 91% of such events being mTBI. Based on hospitalizations and emergency room visits data
reported by the Brain Injury Association of America, we estimate that 79% of these diagnosed annual events are adults. Residual
Traumatic Brain Injury symptoms may impact patient Quality of Life, social relationships, and ability to work. Approximately 50% of mTBI
patients have persistent cognitive dysfunction 1, representing an estimated, based on events data above, 1.5M cases per year.
Cognitive impairment includes symptoms such as short-term memory loss, trouble concentrating, difficulty multi-tasking, lack of focus,
and slowed brain processing. We to pursue a study of ALPHA-1062 Intranasal ("ALPHA-1062IN") in adult patients (18+ years)
who are suffering from the cognitive symptoms associated with mild traumatic brain injury, with an addressable market of 1.1 million patients
per year (3M diagnosed per year, 91% mild, 50% with cognitive impairment, 79% adults). We estimate that a treatment to manage cognitive
impairment with mTBI would have a $13.5B market size (1.1M cases per yr X assuming a $12.5K per treatment course) in the U.S. Due to high
unmet need, no approved treatment, and disability associated with the disorder, there is a significant need for an approved treatment
expressed by governments, payers, and physicians.

 Intellectual Property

 The Company has developed, filed, and exclusively
licensed (from NLS) a significant intellectual property portfolio with respect to ZUNVEYL also known as ALPHA-1062 and ALPHA-1062IN,
which is broadly described below.

 ALPHA-1062 Patent Portfolio

 The ALPHA-1062 patent portfolio is based
on a therapeutic use (method of treatment) patent for ALPHA-1062, that covers treatment of a variety of neurological diseases with a cholinergic
deficit, being memory deficits related to the cholinergic neurons, or brain disease with cognitive impairment. The Company's intellectual
property strategy builds on this patent by avoiding traditional fast-release oral or transdermal routes for administering ALPHA-1062.
Both routes would result in the premature cleavage of the pro-portion of the ALPHA 1062, in essence delivering the old drug (galantamine)
with its attendant limitations. Delivery, polymorph, and formulation patents therefore expand on the original therapeutic use patent.
The Company intends to patent all commercially relevant forms, formulations and routes/methods of ALPHA-1062 delivery in order to
extend the effective patent protection lifetime. Effective patent protection of ALPHA-1062 and therapeutically relevant salts, polymorphs
and/or formulations thereof may potentially be extended beyond 2042.

 Employees

 The Company has 52 full-time employees and 5
part time contractors in total. Employees and contractors work virtually and in offices located in Vancouver BC, West Palm Beach, Florida,
and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.

 Foreign Operations

 The Company's management team oversees the
various contract development and manufacturing organizations which have been retained to assist the Company in the ALPHA-1062 and
ALPHA-0602 development program, as further described below.

 ZUNVEYL, also known as ALPHA-1062 Delayed
Release Oral Tablet Formulation, Manufacturing

 With respect to the manufacturing of ZUNVEYL,
the Company has entered into agreements with specialized contract manufacturing organizations located in Taiwan for the manufacturing
of the ZUNVEYL active pharmaceutical ingredient, and with manufacturing companies located in the United States specialized in the
production of oral tablets and nasal spray formulations. As the development program proceeds, the Company intends to contract with back-up active
pharmaceutical ingredient and contract manufacturing organizations, ensuring a reduced risk of disruption in the supply of the product
on commercialization. The Company expects that this strategy will help reduce the operational risk.

 ALPHA-0602, ALPHA-702 and ALPHA-802 are
in pre-clinical studies and not yet in the production phase.

 ZUNVEYL Clinical Testing

 The Company contracted with Contract Research
Organizations (CROs) to conduct both pilot and pivotal bioavailability and bioequivalence (BABE) clinical trials. Based on historical
experience of these CROs, including independent third party audits and monitoring commissioned by the Company at these sites, the Company
believes that the CROs and sites meet international and FDA standards required to conduct Pilot and Pivotal Studies required for NDA approval.

 ZUNVEYL Regulatory Matters

 The Company has entered into contracts with regulatory
consultants to provide advice and assist in preparing documentation for regulatory submissions to the FDA. The Company also plans
to contract with appropriate regulatory consultants focused on the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of the European Union.

 The Company intends to develop a detailed commercialization
plan for ZUNVEYL in the United States. The Company also intends to identify pharmaceutical distribution partners to enter the markets
in Asia, European Union, and/or LATAM (Mexico, Central and South America).

 The Company is in discussions with several pharmaceutical
distributors with respect to LATAM (Mexico, Central and South America) and select Asian countries. The Company anticipates that it may
be possible to enter into license agreements in several of these non-core territories. Distributors often have a deep understanding
of local market dynamics, including regulatory requirements, distribution channels, and consumer preferences. Partnering with a local
distributor allows pharmaceutical companies to leverage this expertise and navigate the complexities of entering a new market more effectively.
By outsourcing distribution activities to a reliable partner, the Company can focus our resources and expertise on our core competencies,
such as commercializing in the U.S. FDA regulatory approval does not guarantee approval and/or distribution in other territories.

 Government Regulation

 Government authorities in the United States,
at the federal, state, and local level, and other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, nonclinical
and clinical testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, labeling, packaging, storage, record-keeping, promotion, advertising, distribution,
post-approval monitoring and reporting, marketing, and export and import of products such as those we are developing. Generally,
before a new drug can be marketed, considerable data must be generated, which demonstrate the drug's quality, safety, and efficacy.
Such data must then be organized into a format specific for each regulatory authority, submitted for review and approved by the regulatory
authority.

 U.S. Drug Development Process

 In the United States, the FDA regulates drugs
under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"), and its implementing regulations. The process of obtaining regulatory
approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure
of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with the applicable U.S. requirements at any time during the product
development process, the approval process or after approval may subject an applicant to administrative or judicial sanctions. These sanctions
could include the FDA's refusal to approve pending applications, withdrawal of an approval, a clinical hold, warning letters, product
recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts,
restitution, disgorgement, or civil or criminal penalties. Any agency or judicial enforcement action could have a material adverse effect
on us.

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

 completion of nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies, and formulation studies in accordance with
FDA's good laboratory requirements and other applicable regulations;

 submission to the FDA of an IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;

 approval by an independent Institutional Review Board ethics committee, either centralized or with respect
to each clinical site, before each clinical trial may be initiated;

 performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials in accordance with GCP requirements
to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug for its intended use;

 submission to the FDA of an NDA after completion of all pivotal trials;

 determination by the FDA within 60 days of its receipt of an NDA to accept the filing for substantive
review;

 satisfactory completion of an FDA advisory committee review, if applicable;

 satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the
drug is produced to assess compliance with current good manufacturing practice ("cGMP") requirements to ensure that the facilities,
methods and controls are adequate to preserve the drug's identity, strength, quality, and purity, and of selected clinical investigation
sites to assess compliance with GCP;

 FDA review and approval of the NDA to permit commercial marketing of the product for particular indications
for use in the United States;

 compliance with any post-approval requirements, including potential requirements to conduct any post-approval studies
required by the FDA or the potential requirement to implement risk evaluation and mitigation strategies ("REMS"); and

 compliance with the United States Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003 ("PREA"),
which requires either exemption from the requirements or may require conducting clinical research in a pediatric population.

 During the development of a new drug, sponsors
are given opportunities to meet with the FDA at certain points. These points may be prior to submission of an IND, at the end of Phase 2,
and before an NDA is submitted. Meetings at other times may be requested. These meetings can provide an opportunity for the sponsor to
share information about the data gathered to date, for the FDA to provide advice, and for the sponsor and the FDA to reach agreement on
the next phase of development. Sponsors typically use the meetings at the end of the Phase 2 clinical trial to discuss Phase 2
clinical results and present plans for the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials that they believe will support approval of the new drug.

 Concurrent with clinical trials, companies usually
complete additional animal studies and must also develop additional information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the
drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in commercial quantities in accordance with cGMP requirements. The manufacturing
process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the product candidate and, among other things, the manufacturer must
develop methods for testing the identity, strength, quality, and purity of the final drug. In addition, appropriate packaging must be
selected and tested, and stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that the product candidate does not undergo unacceptable deterioration
over its shelf life.

 While the IND is active and before approval, progress
reports summarizing the results of the clinical trials and nonclinical studies performed since the last progress report must be submitted
at least annually to the FDA, and written IND safety reports must be submitted to the FDA and investigators for serious and unexpected
suspected adverse events, findings from other studies suggesting a significant risk to humans exposed to the same or similar drugs, findings
from animal or in vitro testing suggesting a significant risk to humans, and any clinically important increased incidence
of a serious suspected adverse reaction compared to that listed in the protocol or investigator brochure.

 NDA Review and Approval Process

 Assuming successful completion of all required
testing in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements, the results of product development nonclinical and clinical trials,
along with descriptions of the manufacturing process, analytical tests conducted on the chemistry of the drug, proposed labeling and other
relevant information are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA requesting approval to market the product. The submission of an NDA is
subject to the payment of substantial user fees; a waiver of such fees may be obtained under certain limited circumstances. Additionally,
no user fees are assessed on NDAs for products designated as orphan drugs, unless the product also includes a non-orphan indication.

 The FDA reviews an NDA to determine, among other
things, whether a product is safe and effective for its intended use and whether its manufacturing is cGMP-compliant to assure and
preserve the product's identity, strength, quality, and purity. Under the PDUFA, guidelines that are currently in effect, the FDA
has a goal of ten months from the date of "filing" of a standard NDA for a new molecular entity to review and act on
the submission. This review typically takes 12 months from the date the NDA is submitted to FDA because the FDA has approximately
two months to make a "filing" decision after the application is submitted. The FDA conducts a preliminary review of all
NDAs within the first 60 days after submission, before accepting them for filing, to determine whether they are sufficiently complete
to permit substantive review The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. In this event, the NDA must
be resubmitted with the additional information. The resubmitted application is also subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing.

 The FDA may refer an application for a novel drug
to an advisory committee. An advisory committee is a panel of independent experts, including clinicians and other scientific experts,
that reviews, evaluates and provides a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under what conditions. The
FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions.

 Before approving an NDA, the FDA will typically
inspect the facility or facilities where the product is manufactured. The FDA will not approve an application unless it determines that
the manufacturing processes and facilities are in compliance with cGMP and adequate to assure consistent production of the product within
required specifications. Additionally, before approving an NDA, the FDA will typically inspect one or more clinical sites to assure compliance
with GCP. If the FDA determines that the application, manufacturing process, or manufacturing facilities are not acceptable, it will
outline the deficiencies in the submission and often will request additional testing or information. Notwithstanding the submission of
any requested additional information, the FDA ultimately may decide that the application does not satisfy the regulatory criteria for
approval.

 After the FDA evaluates an NDA, it will issue
an approval letter or a Complete Response Letter. An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with prescribing information
for specific indications. A Complete Response Letter indicates that the review cycle of the application is complete, and the application
will not be approved in its present form. A Complete Response Letter usually describes the specific deficiencies in the NDA identified
by the FDA and may require additional clinical data, such as an additional pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial or other significant and
time-consuming requirements related to clinical trials, nonclinical studies, or manufacturing. If a Complete Response Letter is issued,
the sponsor must resubmit the NDA, addressing all of the deficiencies identified in the letter, or withdraw the application. Even if such
data and information are submitted, the FDA may decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval.

 If regulatory approval of a product is granted,
such approval will be granted for particular indications and may entail limitations on the indicated uses for which such product may be
marketed. For example, the FDA may approve the NDA with a REMS to ensure the benefits of the product outweigh its risks. A REMS is a safety
strategy to manage a known or potential serious risk associated with a medicine and to enable patients to have continued access to such
medicines by managing their safe use. It could include medication guides, physician communication plans, or elements to assure safe use,
such as restricted distribution methods, patient registries, and other risk minimization tools. The FDA also may offer conditional approval
subject to, among other things, changes to proposed labeling or the development of adequate controls and specifications. Once approved,
the FDA may withdraw the product approval if compliance with pre- and post-marketing requirements is not maintained or if problems
occur after the product reaches the marketplace. The FDA may also require one or more Phase 4 post-market studies and surveillance
to further assess and monitor the product's safety and effectiveness after commercialization, and may limit further marketing of
the product based on the results of these post-marketing studies. In addition, new government requirements, including those resulting
from new legislation, may be established, or the FDA's policies may change, which could impact the timeline for regulatory approval
or otherwise impact ongoing development programs.

 Orphan Drug Designation

 Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may grant ODD,
to a drug or therapeutic biological product intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally a disease or condition that
affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States, or more than 200,000 individuals in the United States and for which there
is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making a biological product available in the United States for this type
of disease or condition will be recovered from sales of the product. ODD must be requested before submitting a BLA. After the FDA grants
ODD, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA. ODD does not convey any advantage
in or shorten the duration of the regulatory review and approval process.

 If a product that has ODD receives the first FDA
approval for the disease or condition for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan product exclusivity, which
means that the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug or biological product for the same indication for seven
years, except in limited circumstances, such as not being able to supply the product for patients or showing clinical superiority to the
product with orphan exclusivity.

 Competitors, however, may receive approval of
different products for the indication for which the orphan product has exclusivity or obtain approval for the same product but for a different
indication for which the orphan product has exclusivity. Orphan product exclusivity also could block the approval of one of our products
for seven years if a competitor obtains approval of the same drug or biological product as defined by the FDA or if our product candidate
is determined to be contained within the competitor's product for the same indication or disease. If a biological product designated
as an orphan product receives marketing approval for an indication broader than what is designated, it may not be entitled to orphan product
exclusivity.

 Expedited Development and Review Programs

 The FDA has a fast track designation program that
is intended to expedite or facilitate the process for reviewing new drug products that meet certain criteria. Specifically, new drugs
are eligible for fast track designation if they are intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and demonstrate
the potential to address unmet medical needs for the disease or condition. With regard to a fast track product, the FDA may consider for
review sections of the NDA on a rolling basis before the complete application is submitted, if the sponsor provides a schedule for the
submission of the sections of the NDA, the FDA agrees to accept sections of the NDA and determines that the schedule is acceptable, and
the sponsor pays any required user fees upon submission of the first section of the NDA.

 Any product submitted to the FDA for approval,
including a product with a fast track designation, may also be eligible for other types of FDA programs intended to expedite development
and review, such as priority review and accelerated approval. A product is eligible for priority review if it has the potential to provide
safe and effective therapy where no satisfactory alternative therapy exists or a significant improvement in the treatment, diagnosis,
or prevention of a disease compared to marketed products. The FDA will attempt to direct additional resources to the evaluation of an
application for a new drug designated for priority review in an effort to facilitate the review. The FDA endeavors to review applications
with priority review designations within six months of the filing date as compared to ten months for review of new molecular
entity NDAs under its current PDUFA review goals.

 In addition, a product may be eligible for accelerated
approval. Drug products intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions may be eligible for accelerated approval
upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, or
on a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than irreversible morbidity or mortality, that is reasonably likely to predict an
effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit, taking into account the severity, rarity, or prevalence of the
condition and the availability or lack of alternative treatments. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require that a sponsor of a
drug receiving accelerated approval perform adequate and well-controlled post-marketing clinical trials. In addition, the FDA
currently requires pre-approval of promotional materials as a condition for accelerated approval, which could adversely impact the
timing of the commercial launch of the product.

 The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation
Act established a category of drugs referred to as "breakthrough therapies" that may be eligible to receive breakthrough therapy
designation. A sponsor may seek FDA designation of a product candidate as a "breakthrough therapy" if the product is intended,
alone or in combination with one or more other products, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary
clinical evidence indicates that the product may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically
significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. The designation includes all of the
fast track program features, as well as more intensive FDA interaction and guidance. The breakthrough therapy designation is a distinct
status from both accelerated approval and priority review, which can also be granted to the same drug if relevant criteria are met. If
a product is designated as breakthrough therapy, the FDA will work to expedite the development and review of such drug.

 Fast track designation, priority review, accelerated
approval, and breakthrough therapy designation do not change the standards for approval, but may expedite the development or approval
process. Even if a product qualifies for one or more of these programs, the FDA may later decide that the product no longer meets the
conditions for qualification or decide that the time period for FDA review or approval will not be shortened. We may explore some of these
opportunities for our product candidates as appropriate.

 Post-Approval Requirements

 Any products manufactured or distributed by us
pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other things, requirements relating
to record-keeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, product sampling and distribution, and advertising and promotion
of the product. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject
to prior FDA review and approval. There are continuing, annual program fees for any marketed products. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors
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, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us
and our third-party manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process are strictly regulated, and, depending on the significance
of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also require investigation and correction of any
deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any third-party manufacturers that we may decide to use. Accordingly,
manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with
cGMP and other aspects of regulatory compliance.

 The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with
regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. Later discovery of
previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturing processes,
or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition
of post-market studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions
under a REMS program. Other potential consequences include, among other things:

 restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of the product, complete withdrawal of the product from
the market or product recalls;

 fines, warning letters, or untitled letters;

 clinical holds on post-approval or Phase IV clinical studies, if applicable;

 refusal of the FDA to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications, or suspension
or revocation of product license approvals;

 product seizure or detention, or refusal to permit the import or export of products;

 consent decrees, corporate integrity agreements, debarment, or exclusion from federal healthcare programs;
and

 mandated modification of promotional materials and labeling and the issuance of corrective information.

 Under the PREA, an NDA must contain data to assess
the safety and efficacy of the applicant product for indications in applicable pediatric populations. It must also contain information
to support dose administration for pediatric populations where the drug may be utilized. FDA has the ability to grant complete waivers,
partial waivers, or deferrals for compliance with PREA. PREA requirements may be waived for applications for approval of drug candidates
intended to treat, mitigate, prevent, diagnose or cure diseases and other conditions that do not occur in pediatric populations. Generally,
PREA does not apply for drug candidates which have obtained an orphan designation, unless otherwise regulated by the FDA. Despite
this, separate PREA compliance or waivers may still be required for each product indication. Although noncompliance with PREA will generally
not be considered for withdrawal of an approval it may be considered by the FDA as the sole basis for enforcement action such as injunction
or seizure as non-compliance and may render the drug misbranded.

 The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling,
advertising, and promotion of drug products. A company can make only those claims relating to safety and efficacy that are approved by
the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations
prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things, adverse
publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising, and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe, in their independent
professional medical judgment, legally available products for uses that are not described in the product's labeling and that differ
from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Physicians may believe that such off-label uses are the best treatment for
many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does,
however, restrict manufacturer's communications on the subject of off-label use of their products. The federal government has
levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion of off-label use and has enjoined companies
from engaging in off-label promotion. The FDA and other regulatory agencies have also required that companies enter into consent
decrees or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed. However, companies may share truthful
and not misleading information that is otherwise consistent with a product's FDA-approved labelling.

 505(b)(2) NDAs

 The FDA is authorized to approve an alternative
type of NDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA. Section 505(b)(2) permits the filing of an NDA where at least some of the information
required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of
reference from the data owner. The applicant may rely upon the FDA's findings of safety and efficacy for an approved product that
acts as the "listed drug." The FDA may also require 505(b)(2) applicants to perform additional studies or measurements to
support the change from the listed drug. The FDA may then approve the new product for all, or some, of the conditions of use for which
the branded reference drug has been approved, or for a new condition of use sought by the 505(b)(2) applicant.

 Abbreviated New Drug Applications, or ANDAs

 The Hatch-Waxman amendments to the FDCA established
a statutory procedure for submission and FDA review and approval of abbreviated new drug applications ("ANDA") for generic
versions of listed drugs. An ANDA is a comprehensive submission that contains, among other things, data and information pertaining to
the active pharmaceutical ingredient, drug product formulation, specifications and stability of the generic drug, as well as analytical
methods, manufacturing process validation data, and quality control procedures. Premarket applications for generic drugs are termed abbreviated
because they generally do not include clinical data to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. However, a generic manufacturer is typically
required to conduct bioequivalence studies of its test product against the listed drug. Bioequivalence is established when there is an
absence of a significant difference in the rate and extent for absorption of the generic product and the reference listed drug. For some
drugs, other means of demonstrating bioequivalence may be required by the FDA, especially where the rate or extent of absorption is difficult
or impossible to measure. The FDA will approve an ANDA application if it finds that the generic product does not raise new questions of
safety and effectiveness as compared to the reference listed drug. A product is not eligible for ANDA approval if the FDA determines that
it is not bioequivalent to the reference listed drug if it is intended for a different use or if it is not subject to, and requires an
approved suitability petition.

 Marketing Exclusivity

 Market exclusivity provisions authorized under
the FDCA can delay the submission and approval of certain marketing applications for products containing the same active ingredient. The
FDCA provides a five-year period of non-patent marketing exclusivity within the United States to the first applicant to
obtain approval of an NDA for a new chemical entity ("NCE"). A drug is an NCE if the FDA has not previously approved any other
new drug containing the same active moiety, which is the molecule or ion responsible for the action of the drug substance. The FDCA also
permits patent term restoration of up to five years as compensation for a patent term lost during product development and FDA regulatory
review process to the first applicant to obtain approval of an NDA for a new innovative product in the United States. Patent-term restoration,
however, cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years from the product's approval date. During the
NCE exclusivity period, the FDA may not approve, or even accept for review, an ANDA or an NDA submitted under Section 505(b)(2)
(505(b)(2) NDA), submitted by another company for another drug based on the same active moiety, regardless of whether the drug is
intended for the same indication as the original innovative drug or for another indication, where the applicant does not own or have a
legal right of reference to all the data required for approval. However, an application may be submitted after four years if it contains
a certification of patent invalidity or non-infringement to one of the patents listed in the FDA's publication Approved
Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, which we refer to as the Orange Book, with the FDA by the innovator NDA holder.
Upon approval of an NDA, each of the patents listed in the application for the drug is then published in the Orange Book. These products
may be cited by potential competitors in support of approval of an ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA. Any competitor who files an ANDA seeking
approval of a generic equivalent version of a drug listed in the Orange Book or a 505(b)(2) NDA referencing a drug listed in the
Orange Book must make patent certifications to the FDA that: (1) no patent information on the drug or method of use that is the subject
of the application has been submitted to the FDA; (2) the patent has expired; (3) the date on which the patent has expired and
approval will not be sought until after the patent expiration; or (4) the patent is invalid or will not be infringed upon by the
manufacture, use, or sale of the drug product for which the application is submitted. Generally, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA cannot
be approved until all listed patents have expired, except where the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant challenges a listed patent through
the last type of certification, also known as a paragraph IV certification. If the applicant does not challenge the listed patents
or indicates that it is not seeking approval of a patented method of use, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA application will not be approved
until all of the listed patents claiming the referenced product have expired. If the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant has provided
a paragraph IV certification the applicant must send notice of the paragraph IV certification to the NDA and patent holders
once the application has been accepted for filing by the FDA. The NDA and patent holders may then initiate a patent infringement
lawsuit in response to the notice of the paragraph IV certification. If the paragraph IV certification is challenged by an NDA
holder or the patent owner(s) asserts a patent challenge to the paragraph IV certification, the FDA may not approve that application
until the earlier of 30 months from the receipt of the notice of the paragraph IV certification, the expiration of the patent,
when the infringement case concerning each such patent was favorably decided in the applicant's favor or settled, or such shorter
or longer period as may be ordered by a court. This prohibition is generally referred to as the 30-month stay. In instances where
an ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant files a paragraph IV certification, the NDA holder or patent owner(s) regularly take
action to trigger the 30-month stay, recognizing that the related patent litigation may take many months or years to resolve.
Thus, approval of an ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA could be delayed for a significant period of time depending on the patent certification
the applicant makes and the reference drug sponsor's decision to initiate patent litigation. If the drug has NCE exclusivity and
the ANDA is submitted four years after approval, the 30-month stay is extended so that it expires 7 years after
approval of the innovator drug, unless the patent expires or there is a decision in the infringement case that is favorable to the ANDA
applicant before then.

 The FDCA alternatively provides three years
of marketing exclusivity for an NDA, or supplement to an existing NDA if new clinical investigations, other than bioavailability studies,
that were conducted or sponsored by the applicant are deemed by the FDA to be essential to the approval of the application, for example
new indications, dosages, or strengths of an existing drug. This three-year exclusivity covers only the modification for which the
drug received approval on the basis of the new clinical investigations and does not prohibit the FDA from approving ANDAs or 505(b)(2) NDAs
for drugs containing the active agent for the original indication or condition of use. Five-year and three-year exclusivity
will not delay the submission or approval of a full NDA. However, an applicant submitting a full NDA would be required to conduct
or obtain a right of reference to any nonclinical studies and adequate and well-controlled clinical trials necessary to demonstrate
safety and effectiveness.

 Pediatric exclusivity is another type of marketing
exclusivity available in the United States. Pediatric exclusivity provides for an additional six months of marketing exclusivity
attached to another period of exclusivity if a sponsor conducts clinical trials in children in response to a written request from the
FDA. The issuance of a written request does not require the sponsor to undertake the described clinical trials. The indications the
Company is currently pursuing for its product candidates will not be eligible for pediatric exclusivity because they are age-related degenerative
diseases and disorders that do not occur in the pediatric population. In addition, orphan drug exclusivity, as described above, may offer
a seven-year period of marketing exclusivity, except in certain circumstances.

 Other Healthcare Laws

 Pharmaceutical manufacturers are subject to additional
healthcare laws, regulation, and enforcement by the federal government and by authorities in the states and foreign jurisdictions in which
they conduct their business. Such laws include, without limitation, U.S. federal anti-kickback, anti-self-referral, false claims,
transparency, including the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act, consumer fraud, pricing reporting, data privacy, data protection,
and security laws and regulations as well as similar foreign laws in the jurisdictions outside the U.S. Similar state and local laws
and regulations may also restrict business practices in the pharmaceutical industry, such as state anti-kickback and false claims
laws, which may apply to business practices, including but not limited to, research, distribution, sales, and marketing arrangements and
claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers,
or by patients themselves; state laws that require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry's voluntary
compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government, or otherwise restrict payments that
may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; state laws and regulations that require drug manufacturers to
file reports relating to pricing and marketing information; state and local laws which require the tracking of gifts and other remuneration
and any transfer of value provided to physicians, other healthcare providers and entities; and state and local laws that require the registration
of pharmaceutical sales representatives; and state and local laws governing the privacy and security of health information in some circumstances,
many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by the United States Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), thus complicating compliance efforts. For example, California recently
enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), which creates individual privacy
rights for California consumers (as defined in the law) and places increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling certain
personal data of consumers or households. The CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosure to consumers about such companies'
data collection, use and sharing practices, provide such consumers new ways to opt-out of certain sales or transfers of personal
information, and provide consumers with additional causes of action. Under the CCPA the California Attorney General may bring enforcement
actions for violations of the CCPA. Further, California voters approved a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights
Act ("CPRA"), in the November 3, 2020 election which amends and expands the CCPA. The CPRA became fully
effective on January 1, 2023. The CPRA significantly modifies the CCPA, including by expanding consumers' rights with respect
to certain sensitive personal information. The CPRA also creates a new state agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency, that is
vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA. New legislation proposed or enacted in various other states
will continue to shape the data privacy environment nationally.

 The risk of our being found in violation of these
or other laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the
courts and their provisions are open to various interpretations. These laws and regulations are subject to change, which can increase
the resources needed for compliance and delay drug approval or commercialization. Any action brought against us for violations of these
laws or regulations, even successfully defended, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management's
attention from the operation of our business. Also, we may be subject to private "qui tam" actions brought by individual whistleblowers
on behalf of the federal or state governments. Actual or alleged violation of any such laws or regulations may lead to investigations
and other claims and proceedings by regulatory authorities and in certain cases, private actors, and violation of any of such laws or
any other governmental regulations that apply may result in penalties, including, without limitation, significant administrative, civil
and criminal penalties, damages, fines, additional reporting obligations, and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity
agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, the curtailment or restructuring of operations,
exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and imprisonment.

 The United States Federal Office of Inspector
General ("OIG"), continues to make modifications to the existing Federal Anti-Kickback Statute ("AKS") safe
harbors which may increase liability and risk as well as adversely impact sales relationships. On November 20, 2020, OIG issued the
final rule for Safe Harbors under the AKS. This new final rule creates additional safe harbors including ones pertaining to patient
incentives. OIG is able to modify safe harbors as well as regulatory compliance requirements which could impact our business adversely.
The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to these federal laws, which apply to items and services reimbursed under
Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payer.

 Coverage and Reimbursement

 Sales of any pharmaceutical product depend, in
part, on the extent to which such product will be covered by third-party payors, such as federal, state, and foreign government healthcare
programs, commercial insurance, and managed healthcare organizations, and the level of reimbursement for such product by third-party payors.
Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of any newly approved product. Decisions regarding the extent
of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided are made on a plan-by-plan basis. One third-party payor's decision
to cover a particular product does not ensure that other payors will also provide coverage for the product. As a result, the coverage
determination process can require manufacturers to provide scientific details, information on cost-effectiveness, and clinical support
for the use of a product to each payor separately. This can be a time-consuming process, with no assurance that coverage and adequate
reimbursement will be applied consistently or obtained in the first instance.

 In addition, third-party payors are increasingly
reducing reimbursements for pharmaceutical products and related services. The U.S. government and state legislatures have continued
implementing cost-containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements for
substitution of generic products. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged, examining the medical necessity
and reviewing the cost effectiveness of pharmaceutical products, in addition to questioning their safety and efficacy. Adoption of price
controls and cost-containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures,
could further limit sales of any product. Decreases in third-party reimbursement for any product or a decision by a third-party payor
not to cover a product could reduce physician usage and patient demand for the product.

 At the state level, there are also new laws and
ongoing ballot initiatives that create additional pressure on drug pricing and may affect how pharmaceutical products are covered and
reimbursed. A number of states have adopted or are considering various pricing actions, such as those requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers
to publicly report proprietary pricing information, limit price increases or to place a maximum price ceiling or cap on certain products.
Existing and proposed state pricing laws have added complexity to the pricing of pharmaceutical drug products.

 In international markets, reimbursement and healthcare
payment systems vary significantly by country, and many countries have instituted price ceilings on specific products and therapies. For
example, the European Union provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national
health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve
a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the
Company placing the medicinal product on the market. Pharmaceutical products may face competition from lower-priced products in foreign
countries that have placed price controls on pharmaceutical products and may also compete with imported foreign products. Furthermore,
there is no assurance that a product will be considered medically reasonable and necessary for a specific indication, that it will be
considered cost-effective by third-party payors, that an adequate level of reimbursement will be established even if coverage
is available, or that the third-party payors' reimbursement policies will not adversely affect the ability for manufacturers
to sell products profitably.

 Healthcare Reform

 In the United States and certain foreign
jurisdictions, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare
system. In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010 (collectively, the "ACA"), was signed into law, which substantially changed the way healthcare is financed
by both governmental and private insurers in the United States. By way of example, the ACA increased the minimum level of Medicaid
rebates payable by manufacturers of brand name drugs from 15.1% to 23.1%; it required collection of rebates for drugs paid by Medicaid
managed care organizations; imposed a non-deductible annual fee on pharmaceutical manufacturers or importers who sell certain "branded
prescription drugs" to specified federal government programs; it implemented a new methodology under which rebates owed by manufacturers
under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled, infused, instilled, implanted, or injected; it expanded
the eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs; it created a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify
priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, along with funding for such research; and it established a Center
for Medicare Innovation at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), to test innovative payment and service
delivery models to lower Medicare and Medicaid spending, potentially including prescription drug spending.

 Since its enactment, there have been executive,
judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, and we expect there will be additional challenges and amendments
to the ACA in the future. Since January 2017, President Trump signed several Executive Orders and other directives designed to delay
the implementation of certain provisions of the ACA or otherwise circumvent some of the requirements for health insurance mandated by
the ACA. Concurrently, Congress has considered legislation that would repeal or repeal and replace all or part of the ACA. While
Congress has not passed comprehensive repeal legislation, several bills affecting the implementation of certain taxes under the ACA have
passed. For example, in 2017, Congress enacted the Tax Act, which eliminated the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed
by the ACA on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year, a process that is commonly
referred to as the "individual mandate". In addition, the 2020 federal spending package permanently eliminated, effective
January 1, 2020, the ACA-mandated "Cadillac" tax on high-cost employer-sponsored health coverage and medical
device tax and, effective January 1, 2021, also eliminates the health insurer tax. On December 14, 2018, a Texas U.S. District
Court Judge ruled that the individual mandate is a critical and inseverable feature of the ACA, and therefore, because it was repealed
as part of the Tax Act, the remaining provisions of the ACA are invalid as well. On December 18, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the 5 th Circuit ruled that the individual mandate was unconstitutional and remanded the case back to the District
Court to determine whether the remaining provisions of the ACA are invalid as well. On March 2, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court
granted the petitions for writs of certiorari to review the case and held oral arguments in November 2020. On June 17, 2021,
the Supreme Court ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the law as they had not alleged personal injury traceable to
the allegedly unlawful conduct. As a result, the Supreme Court did not rule on the constitutionality of the ACA or any of its provisions.
There may be other efforts to challenge, repeal, or replace the ACA. If successful, such efforts may potentially impact our business
in the future.

 President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. signed the
Executive Order on Strengthening Medicaid and stating his administration's intentions to reverse the actions of his predecessor
and strengthen the ACA. As part of this Executive Order, the Department of Health and Human Services, United States Treasury,
and the Department of Labor are to review all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and agency actions to consider
if they are consistent with ensuring both coverage under the ACA and if they make high-quality healthcare affordable and accessible
to Americans. We are unable to predict the likelihood of changes to the Affordable Care Act or other healthcare laws which may negatively
impact our profitability. Drug pricing continues to be a subject of debate at the executive and legislative levels of U.S. government,
and we expect to see legislation focusing on this in the coming year. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 signed into
law by President Biden on March 14, 2021 includes a provision that will eliminate the statutory cap on rebates drug manufacturers
pay to Medicaid that commenced in January 2024. With the elimination of the cap, manufacturers may be required to compensate states
in an amount greater than what the state Medicaid programs pay for the drug.

 Other legislative changes have been proposed and
adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal
year, effective April 1, 2013, which, due to subsequent legislative amendments, will stay in effect through 2030 with the exception
of a temporary suspension implemented under various COVID-19 relief legislation from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021,
unless additional congressional action is taken. Moreover, there has recently been heightened governmental scrutiny over the manner in
which manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which has resulted in several Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted
legislation designed, among other things, to bring more transparency to product pricing, to review the relationship between pricing and
manufacturer patient programs, and to reform government program reimbursement methodologies for pharmaceutical products. The Prescription
Drug Pricing Reduction Act, or PDPRA, which was introduced in Congress in 2019, and again in 2020, proposed to, among other things, penalize
pharmaceutical manufacturers for raising prices on drugs covered by Medicare Parts B and D faster than the rate of inflation, cap out-of-pocket expenses
for Medicare Part D beneficiaries, and proposes a number of changes to how drugs are reimbursed in Medicare Part B. We
cannot predict whether any proposed legislation will become law and the effect of these possible changes on our business cannot be predicted
at this time.

 Specialized Skill and Knowledge

 The development of pharmaceutical products is
a complex undertaking which requires many diverse skill sets. Given the international nature of drug development, there are numerous companies
and organizations which service the pharmaceutical industry. The Company has had no difficulty to date contracting with the various specialized
service providers required to complete a drug development program.

 The Company has assembled a management team capable
of overseeing the various contract development, manufacturing organizations which have been retained to assist the Company in the ALPHA-1062 development
program. The Company is also in the process of assembling a commercialization team with the experience and skills necessary to commercialize
ZUNVEYL, following the marketing approval received on July 26, 2024.

 Business Cycle and Seasonality

 The Company's business is not expected to
be cyclical or seasonal.

 Economic Dependence

 The Company's business is not expected to
be substantially dependent on any single commercial contract or group of contracts either from suppliers or contractors.

 Changes to Contracts

 The Company does not expect that its business
will be materially affected in the current financial year by the renegotiation or termination of any contracts or sub-contracts.

 Corporate Structure

 The Company was incorporated on November 15,
2017, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") under the name "Crystal Bridge Enterprises Inc.".
The Company is a reporting issuer in all of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Company completed its Qualifying Transaction
with Alpha Cognition Canada Inc. (formerly Alpha Cognition Inc.) ("Alpha Canada" or "ACI Canada") on March 18,
2021, and changed its name to Alpha Cognition Inc. As a result of the Qualifying Transaction Alpha Canada became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary.

 Alpha Canada was a privately held company incorporated
pursuant to the BCBCA on May 16, 2014, under the name "Neurodyn Cognition Inc.". On March 16, 2020, Alpha Canada
changed its name to "Alpha Cognition Inc." and on March 17, 2021, changed its name to "Alpha Cognition Canada Inc."

 Alpha Canada has one wholly-owned subsidiary,
Alpha Cognition USA Inc., which was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida on August 19, 2019 and redomiciled
to the State of Texas effective as of March 8, 2022.

 The chart below sets out the intercorporate relationship
between the Company, Alpha Canada and Alpha Cognition USA Inc.

 The principal office of the Company is located
at 1200 – 750 West Pender Street Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T8. The Company's registered and records office is located
at 1200 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T8. The Company's phone number is 1-858-344-4375. The
Company's website is www.alphacognition.com. Information contained on the Company's website is not incorporated
into this Annual Report.

 Competition

 We face substantial competition from multiple
sources, including large and specialty biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, academic research institutions and governmental agencies
and public and private research institutions. Our competitors compete with us on the level of the technologies employed, or on the level
of development of product candidates. In addition, many small biotechnology companies have formed collaborations with large, established
companies to (i) obtain support for their research, development and commercialization of products or (ii) combine several treatment
approaches to develop longer lasting or more efficacious treatments that may potentially directly compete with our current or future product
candidates. We anticipate that we will continue to face increasing competition as new therapies and combinations thereof, technologies,
and data emerge.

 In addition to the current standard of care treatments
for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, numerous commercial and academic preclinical studies and clinical trials are being undertaken
by a large number of parties to assess technologies and product candidates in the CNS field.

 Many of our competitors, either alone or in combination
with their respective strategic partners, have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing,
the regulatory approval process, commercialization, and marketing than we do. Mergers and acquisition activity in the biopharmaceutical
sector is likely to result in greater resource concentration among a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller or early-stage companies
may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through sizeable collaborative arrangements with established companies. These
competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retain qualified scientific and management personnel and establishing clinical trial
sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs.

 Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or
eliminated if one or more of our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, better tolerated, or of
greater convenience or economic benefit than our proposed product offering. Our competitors also may be in a position to obtain FDA or
other regulatory approval for their products more rapidly, resulting in a stronger or dominant market position before we are able to enter
the market. The key competitive factors affecting the success of our programs are likely to be product safety, efficacy, convenience and
treatment cost.

 Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 As a company with less than $1.235 billion in
revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act,
or the JOBS Act, enacted in 2012. As an emerging growth company, we expect to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are
otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required
unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" disclosure in this prospectus;

 not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, as amended;

 reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements
and registration statements;

 exemption from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph
and CEO pay ratio disclosure; and

 exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder
approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 We elected to take advantage of all of these reduced
reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards
under §107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to
those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107
of the JOBS Act.

 We may use these provisions until the last day
of our fiscal year following June 7, 2029. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we
become a "large accelerated filer," our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible
debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.

 To the extent that we continue to qualify as a
"smaller reporting company," as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue
to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (iii) the requirement to provide only
two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

 Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

 Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a "smaller
reporting company" as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent
that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

 had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed
second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held
by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity,
in the principal market for the common equity; or

 in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of
a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number
of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number
of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated initial public offering price of the shares; or

 in the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under the previous two bullet points was zero
or less than $700 million, had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited
financial statements are available.

 We believe that we are a smaller reporting company,
and as such that we will not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we
will provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. We also will have other
"scaled" disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies. These
"scaled" disclosure requirements may make our securities less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more
difficult for our security holders to sell their securities.

 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 An investment in our securities involves a
high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in
this report, before making a decision to invest in our securities. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition
and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you
could lose all or part of your investment.

 Summary of Risk Factors

 Risks Related to Our Financial Position

 We are a commercial development stage biopharmaceutical company in the early stages of commercial development
of our one product approved for commercial sale and have incurred significant losses since our inception. We expect to incur significant
losses for the foreseeable future and our costs may increase substantially in the foreseeable future.

 Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends significantly on our ability to achieve
commercial success with ZUNVEYL formerly known as ALPHA-1062 oral tablet formulation, our one FDA approved product and continued development
and commercialization of our other product candidates, if approved.

 We have not completed an Alzheimer's disease patient tolerability study for ZUNVEYL and have no
history of commercializing products, which may make it difficult for an investor to evaluate the success of our business to date and to
assess our future viability.

 We will need substantial additional capital to meet our financial obligations and to pursue our business
objectives, including the commercialization of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we could
be forced to delay, reduce and/or eliminate one or more of our research and drug development programs or future commercialization efforts.

 We expect to be exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could adversely affect our results
of operations.

 Risks Related to Our Business Development

 Our business is heavily dependent on the successful commercialization of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation,
our only FDA approved product, and the development and commercialization of any future product candidates that we may develop or acquire.

 We may not successfully expand our pipeline of product candidates. If we are not successful in identifying,
developing, in-licensing, acquiring or/and commercializing additional product candidates, our ability to expand our business and achieve
our strategic objectives would be impaired.

 We may encounter substantial delays in our preclinical studies and clinical trials or may not be able
to conduct or complete our preclinical studies or clinical trials on the timelines we expect, if at all.

 Use of our therapeutic candidates could be associated with side effects, adverse events or other properties
or safety risks, which could delay or preclude approval, cause us to suspend or discontinue clinical trials, abandon a therapeutic candidate,
limit the commercial profile of an approved label or result in other significant negative consequences that could severely harm our business,
prospects, operating results and financial condition.

 Interim "top-line" and preliminary data from studies or trials that we announce or publish
from time to time may change as more data becomes available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in
material changes in the final data.

 We have conducted all of our clinical trials to date outside of the United States, and in the future plan
to conduct clinical trials for product candidates outside the United States, and the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities
may not accept data from such trials.

 If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be
required to limit commercialization of our current or future product candidates.

 Risks Related to Our Industry

 Research and development of pharmaceuticals is lengthy, expensive and inherently risky. We cannot give
any assurance that any of our product candidates will receive regulatory approval.

 Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies caused by funding shortages or global health concerns
could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products
from being developed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business.

 Failure to comply with health and data protection laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement
actions and civil or criminal penalties, private litigation or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and
business.

 Even if the product candidates that we develop receive regulatory approval in the United States or another
jurisdiction, they may never receive approval in other jurisdictions, which would limit market opportunities for our product candidates
and adversely affect our business.

 We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological and scientific change, and there
is a possibility that our competitors may achieve regulatory approval before us or develop therapies that are safer, more advanced or
more effective than ours, which may negatively impact our ability to successfully market or commercialize any product candidates we may
develop and ultimately harm our financial condition.

 Risks Related to Commercialization and Manufacturing

 ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation may fail to achieve the broad degree of adoption and use by physicians,
patients, hospitals, healthcare payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.

 The market opportunities for ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation may be smaller than we anticipate.

 We rely on third-party suppliers to manufacture our product candidates, and we intend to rely on third
parties to produce commercial supplies of ZUNVEYL and any other approved product. The loss of these suppliers, or their failure to comply
with applicable regulatory requirements or to provide us with sufficient quantities at acceptable quality levels or prices, or at all,
would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 We are subject to certain supply chain risks inherent in manufacturing our lead product, ZUNVEYL, and
future products with respect to Taiwan. Risks including periodic foreign economic downturns and political instability, which may adversely
affect the Company's ability to obtain materials and conduct business in Taiwan.

 Our product candidates have never been manufactured on a commercial scale, and there are risks associated
with scaling up manufacturing to commercial scale. In particular, we will need to develop a larger scale manufacturing process that is
more efficient and cost-effective to commercialize our potential products, which may not be successful.

 The successful commercialization of our product candidates will depend in part on the extent to which
governmental authorities and health insurers establish adequate coverage, reimbursement levels and pricing policies. Failure to obtain
or maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, could limit our ability to market those drugs
and decrease our ability to generate revenue.

 We currently have no sales organization. If we are unable to establish sales capabilities on our own or
through third parties, we may not be able to market and sell our product candidates, if approved, effectively in the United States and
foreign jurisdictions or generate product revenue.

 Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 Our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our technology and product
candidates including our lead product, ALPHA-1062. If such protection is not obtained, the scope of the patent protection obtained is
not sufficiently broad, or we lose such protection, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.

 The validity, scope and enforceability of any patents listed in the Orange Book that cover our product
candidates including our lead product. ZUNVEYL can be challenged by third parties.

 Third-party claims or litigation alleging infringement of patents or other proprietary rights, or seeking
to invalidate patents or other proprietary rights, may delay or prevent the development and commercialization of any of our product candidates
including our lead product, ALPHA-1062.

 We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or our other intellectual property
rights, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful. Because of the expense and uncertainty of litigation, we may not be
in a position to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties.

 Our reliance on third parties requires us to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility
that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed, resulting in harm to our business
and our competitor position.

 We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants, independent contractors or we have wrongfully
used or disclosed confidential information of their former employers or other third parties.

 Any trademarks we have obtained or may obtain may be infringed or successfully challenged, resulting in
harm to our business.

 If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position
would be harmed.

 Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.

 Risks Related to Government Regulation

 The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy,
expensive, time consuming and inherently unpredictable.

 ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation and any of our other products that receive regulatory approval will remain
subject to regulatory scrutiny.

 Healthcare legislation, including potentially unfavorable pricing regulations or other healthcare reform
initiatives, may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing approval of and commercialize our product candidates.

 Our business operations and current and future relationships with investigators, healthcare professionals,
consultants, third-party payors, patient organizations and customers will be subject to applicable healthcare regulatory laws, which could
expose us to penalties.

 Risks Related to Employee Matters and Growth
Management

 We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing
growth.

 If we fail to attract and retain senior management and key scientific personnel, our business may be materially
and adversely affected.

 Our employees and independent contractors, including principal investigators, consultants, any future
commercial collaborators, service providers and other vendors, may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance
with regulatory standards and requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 If we are unable to establish sales or marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties
to sell or market our product candidates, we may not be able to successfully sell or market our product candidates that obtain regulatory
approval.

 Risks Related to Our Common Shares and this
Offering

 Our stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell common shares at or above the price
you paid.

 An active, liquid and orderly market for our common shares may not develop, and you may not be able to
resell your common shares at or above the public offering price.

 We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company" and, as
a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies,
our common stock may be less attractive to investors.

 Risks related to the Company being a "passive foreign investment company" under United States
tax laws.

 If we sell common shares in future financings, stockholders may experience immediate dilution and, as
a result, our stock price may decline.

 Concentration of ownership of our voting securities, including common shares and Class B Preferred Series
A Shares, among our existing executive officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant
corporate decisions.

 Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common shares in the public market could cause our stock
price to fall.

 We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and, consequently, your ability to achieve
a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock;

 The Company has outstanding warrants denominated in both Canadian and U.S. Dollars. The foreign exchange
risk associated with the variable of the Canadian Dollar denominated warrant and the Company's resulting U.S. Dollar denominated
functional currency could result in a significant risk of loss at the date of valuing the risk and cause the Company to incur a significant
non-cash derivative liability depending on the exchange rate and share price volatility, share price, risk-free interest rate, and remaining
life of the Canadian Dollar denominated warrants.

 General Risk Factors

 Unfavorable global economic or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition
or results of operations.

 We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will
devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives. We may fail to comply with the rules that apply to public companies, including
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which could result in sanctions or other penalties that could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 Our business will be subject to the risks of
climate change, natural catastrophic events, world events, and man-made problems such as power disruptions or terrorism

 Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

 We are a commercial development stage biopharmaceutical
company in the early stages of commercial development of our one product approved for commercial sale and have incurred significant losses
since our inception. We expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and our costs may increase substantially in the
foreseeable future.

 Since our
inception, we have incurred significant net losses, and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the
foreseeable future. Our net losses were approximately $12.4 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31,
2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $74 million. We have
only one product, ZUNVEYL formerly known as ALPHA-1062, approved for planned commercialization and have never generated any revenue from
product sales.

 We have devoted substantially all our financial
resources and efforts to the development of our product candidates, including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials. We expect
to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses over the next several years. We expect that it could be several years,
if ever, before we have a commercialized product. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we:

 establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up external manufacturing and distribution capabilities
to commercialize ZUNVEYL oral tabulation formulation formerly known as ALPHA-1062 and any other product candidates for which we may
obtain regulatory approval;

 conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials of ALPHA-1062, as well as initiate and complete additional
clinical trials;

 continue our clinical validation of ALPHA-1062 for moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease
and explore the potential of ALPHA-1062IN related to mTBI;

 adapt our regulatory compliance efforts to incorporate requirements applicable to marketed products;

 maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

 hire additional clinical, manufacturing and scientific personnel;

 add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support
our product development and planned future commercialization efforts;

 incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company; and

 scale up our clinical and regulatory capabilities.

 Our ability to generate revenue and achieve
profitability depends significantly on our ability to achieve commercial success with ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation, our one FDA approved
product, and continued development and commercialization of our other product candidates, if approved.

 To date, we have not generated any revenue from
the commercialization of our product candidates. We have only one product, ZUNVEYL oral tablets, approved for commercialization. To generate
revenue and become and remain profitable, we must succeed in the commercialization of ZUNVEYL and developing and eventually commercializing
our other product candidates. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including commercial manufacturing,
marketing and sales of ZUNVEYL, completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our other product candidates, obtaining regulatory
approval of our other product candidates, and manufacturing, marketing and selling any other product candidates for which we may obtain
regulatory approval, as well as discovering and developing additional product candidates. Outside of our commercial development activities
for ZUNVEYL, we are only in the preliminary stages of most of these activities. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if
we do, may never generate any revenue or revenue that is significant enough to achieve profitability. Even if we achieve profitability,
we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would
depress the value of our Company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our development efforts,
obtain product approvals, diversify our offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our Company could also cause you
to lose all or part of your investment.

 We have a limited operating history and
have no history of commercializing products, which may make it difficult for an investor to evaluate the success of our business to date
and to assess our future viability.

 We commenced operations in 2014, and our operations
to date have been largely focused on developing our clinical and preclinical product candidates, primarily ALPHA-1062. To date, we have
successfully obtained regulatory approval for only one product, ZUNVEYL oral tablets, and have not demonstrated our ability to manufacture
a product on a commercial scale, or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf, or conduct sales and marketing activities necessary
for successful commercialization. Consequently, any predictions made about our future success or viability may not be as accurate as they
could be if we had a longer operating history or a history of successfully developing and commercializing products.

 We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties,
complications, delays and other known or unknown factors in achieving our business objectives. We may also need to transition from a company
with a research focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities. Our inability to adequately address these risks and difficulties
or successfully make such a transition could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

 We will need substantial capital to meet
our financial obligations and to pursue our business objectives, including the commercialization of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation. If
we are unable to raise capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce and/or eliminate one or more of our research and drug
development programs or future commercialization efforts.

 Our operations have required substantial amounts
of capital since inception, and we expect our expenses to increase significantly in the foreseeable future. Developing commercial manufacturing,
marketing and sales is expensive and uncertain which could take a long time to complete. We may not achieve commercial success with ZUNVEYL.
Similarly, identifying potential product candidates and conducting preclinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive
and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain regulatory
approval and achieve product sales. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses over the next several years
as we complete our commercialization activities for ZUNVEYL and our ongoing clinical trials of our other product candidates, initiate
future clinical trials of our other product candidates, prepare for commercialization activities of our other product candidates and advance
any of our other product candidates we may develop or otherwise acquire. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve
commercial success. Our revenue, if any, will be derived from sales of ZUNVEYL following our commercial development activities and our
other products that we do not expect to be commercially available for the foreseeable future, if at all. If we obtain marketing approval
for any other product candidates that we develop or otherwise acquire, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related
to product sales, marketing, distribution and manufacturing. We also expect an increase in our expenses associated with creating additional
infrastructure to support operations as a public company.

 As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately
$48.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and have not generated positive cash flows from operations. Based on our
current business plans, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient for us to fund our ongoing operating expenses,
pre-NDA approval commercialization expenses, and capital expenditures requirements through at least the next 12 months. We may
need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and commercial plans after 12 months. Full commercial launch of ZUNVEYL is
expected to require substantial capital to continue our commercialization efforts and bring the product to market in the US. We have
based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect or require adjustment as a result of business decisions, and we could
utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

 Our future capital requirements will depend on
many factors, including, but not limited to:

 the scope, progress, costs and results of our ongoing support and commercialization of ZUNVEYL, including
manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales, obtaining favorable insurance coverage and reimbursement decisions from governmental
and third-party payors, as well as the associated costs, including any unforeseen costs we may incur as a result of additional preclinical
study or clinical trials that may be required, or other delays;

 the scope, progress, costs and results of preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials
for any future product candidates we may decide to pursue;

 the extent to which we develop, in-license or acquire other product candidates and technologies;

 the costs and timing of process development and manufacturing scale-up activities associated with
our product candidates and other programs we advance them through preclinical and clinical development;

 the number and development requirements of other product candidates that we may pursue;

 the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies;

 the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

 the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, marketing,
sales and distribution, for any of our other product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

 the effect of competing products that may limit market penetration of our products;

 the revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates for which we receive marketing
approval;

 our ability to establish collaborations to commercialize ZUNVEYL or any of our other product candidates
outside the United States;

 the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on, our current
or future product candidates, if any;

 the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing
our intellectual property rights and defending any intellectual property-related claims;

 the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies; and

 the additional costs we may incur as a result of operating as a public company, including our efforts
to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel, including enhanced internal controls over financial reporting.

 A change in the outcome of any of these or other
factors with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with
the development of that product candidate.

 We are proceeding with our commercial launch of
our ZUNVEYL oral tablet product, where we expect to raise substantial additional capital to continue our commercialization efforts and
bring the product to market in the US and continue development of our product candidates. We expect to incur significant commercialization
expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing, distribution, and continued R&D.

 We may seek additional capital due to favorable
market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. Attempting
to secure additional financing may divert our management from our day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability
to develop our product candidates.

 Additional funds may not be available on a timely
basis, on favorable terms, or at all, and such funds, if raised, may not be sufficient to enable us to continue to implement our long-term business
strategy. Further, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by recent volatility in the equity markets in the
United States and worldwide. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed or on acceptable terms would have a negative impact
on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy, and we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, suspend or
eliminate one or more of our research-stage programs, clinical trials or future commercialization efforts.

 We expect to be exposed to fluctuations
in currency exchange rates, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

 We incur expenses in U.S. dollars, Canadian
dollars, and EUROs but our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we face exposure to adverse movements
in currency exchange rates. Our foreign operations will be exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results are
translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Specifically, the U.S. dollar cost of our operations
in Canada, API manufacturing in Taiwan and conducting clinical trials in India is influenced by any movements in the currency exchange
rate. Such movements in the currency exchange rate may have a negative effect on our financial results. If the U.S. dollar weakens
against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions will result in increased revenue, operating
expenses and net income. Similarly, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency
denominated transactions will result in decreased revenue, operating expenses and net income. As exchange rates vary, sales and other
operating results, when translated, may differ materially from our or the capital market's expectations.

 Risks Related to Our Business Development

 Our business is heavily dependent on the
successful commercialization of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation, our only FDA approved product, and the development and commercialization
of any future product candidates that we may develop or acquire.

 The NDA for ZUNVEYL oral tablets was approved
by the FDA on July 26, 2024, but all our other product candidates are in the pre-clinical stage. The success of our business,
including our ability to finance our Company and generate revenue in the future, will primarily depend on the successful commercialization
of ZUNVEYL, our only FDA approved product, and the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates. We
cannot be certain that ZUNVEYL can be successfully commercialized or that our other product candidates will receive regulatory approval
or be successfully commercialized even if we receive regulatory approval.

 The clinical and commercial success of ZUNVEYL
and any future product candidates that we may develop or acquire will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

 successfully commercializing ZUNVEYL, either independently or with marketing service providers;

 the effectiveness of our sales and marketing strategy and operations, and obtaining market acceptance
of ZUNVEYL, including garnering market share from existing and future treatment alternatives;

 maintaining compliance with all regulatory requirements applicable to ZUNVEYL and our commercial activities,
including the post-marketing requirements and post-marketing commitments required by the FDA;

 the continued acceptability of the safety profile of ZUNVEYL and the occurrence of any unexpected side
effects, adverse reactions or misuse, including potential business impact such as the need to withdraw the product (either voluntarily
or as mandated by the FDA), loss of support by the advocacy communities or loss of positive corporate reputation resulting in related
unfavorable media coverage in these areas;

 our ability to raise any additional required capital on acceptable terms, or at all;

 our ability to complete an IND enabling studies and successfully submit INDs or comparable applications;

 initiation and timely completion of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, which may be significantly
slower or cost more than we currently anticipate and will depend substantially upon the performance of third-party contractors;

 delays or difficulties in enrolling and retaining patients in our clinical trials;

 whether we are required by the FDA, or similar foreign regulatory agencies to conduct additional clinical
trials or other studies beyond those planned to support the approval and commercialization of our product candidates or any future product
candidates;

 acceptance of our proposed indications and primary endpoint assessments relating to the proposed indications
of our product candidates by the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities;

 our ability to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities the
safety, efficacy and acceptable risk to benefit profile of our product candidates or any future product candidates;

 the prevalence, duration and severity of potential side effects or other safety issues experienced with
our product candidates or future approved products, if any;

 achieving and maintaining, and, where applicable, ensuring that our third-party contractors achieve
and maintain, compliance with our contractual obligations and with all regulatory requirements applicable to our product candidates or
any future product candidates or approved products, if any;

 the ability of third parties with whom we contract to manufacture adequate clinical trial and commercial
supplies of our product candidates or any future product candidates remain in good standing with regulatory agencies and develop, validate
and maintain commercially viable manufacturing processes that are compliant with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs;

 the convenience of our treatment or dosing regimen;

 the timely receipt of necessary marketing approvals from the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities;

 acceptance by physicians, payors and patients of the benefits, safety and efficacy of our product candidates
or any future product candidates, if approved, including relative to alternative and competing treatments;

 the willingness of physicians, operators of clinics and patients to utilize or adopt any of our product
candidates or any future product candidates, if approved;

 our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors
and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products;

 our ability to expand our products, including ZUNVEYL into multiple indications;

 the COVID-19 pandemic, which may result in clinical site closures, delays to patient enrollment,
patients discontinuing their treatment or follow up visits or changes to trial protocols;

 our ability to successfully develop a commercial strategy and thereafter commercialize our other product
candidates or any future product candidates in the United States and internationally, if approved for marketing, reimbursement, sale
and distribution in such countries and territories, whether alone or in collaboration with others;

 patient demand for our product candidates, if approved, including patients' willingness to pay out-of-pocket for
any approved products in the absence of coverage and/or adequate reimbursement from third-party payors;

 the actual market-size, ability to identify patients and the demographics of patients eligible for our
product candidates, which may be different than expected;

 a continued acceptable safety profile following any marketing approval;

 our ability to compete with other therapies;

 our ability to establish and enforce intellectual property rights in and to our product candidates or
any future product candidates; and

 our ability to avoid third-party patent interference, intellectual property challenges or intellectual
property infringement claims.

 These factors, many of which are beyond our control,
could cause us to experience significant delays or an inability to obtain future regulatory approvals or commercialize our product candidates.
Even if regulatory approvals are obtained, we may never be able to successfully commercialize any of our product candidates. Accordingly,
we cannot provide assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue through the sale of our product candidates or any future
product candidates to continue our business or achieve profitability.

 We may not successfully expand our pipeline
of product candidates. If we are not successful in identifying, developing, in-licensing, acquiring or/and commercializing additional
product candidates, our ability to expand our business and achieve our strategic objectives would be impaired.

 Although a substantial amount of our effort will
focus on the continued development and potential approval of our current product candidates, a key element of our strategy is to identify,
develop and commercialize a portfolio of products that help the cognitive and functional symptoms of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's
disease. A component of our strategy is to evaluate our product candidates in multiple indications, such as mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's
disease, moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, and TBI. However, we have not yet evaluated ALPHA-1062 or ALPHA-0602 in
all of these patient populations and we may find that while we have seen promising results in one neurodegenerative disease, that effect
is not replicated across other indications with promising similarities. Even if we successfully identify additional product candidates,
we may still fail to yield additional product candidates for development and commercialization for many reasons, including the following:

 the research methodology used may not be successful in identifying potential product candidates;

 competitors may develop alternatives that render our additional product candidates obsolete;

 additional product candidates we develop may be covered by third parties' patents or other exclusive
rights;

 an additional product candidate may be shown to have harmful side effects or other characteristics that
indicate it is unlikely to be effective or otherwise does not meet applicable regulatory criteria;

 an additional product candidate may not be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at an acceptable
cost, or at all; and

 an additional product candidate may not be accepted as safe and effective by physicians and patients.

 We therefore cannot provide any assurance that
we will be able to successfully identify, in-license or acquire additional product candidates, advance any of these additional product
candidates through the development process, successfully commercialize any such additional product candidates, if approved, or assemble
sufficient resources to identify, acquire, develop or, if approved, commercialize additional product candidates. If we are unable to successfully
identify, acquire, develop and commercialize additional product candidates, our commercial opportunities may be limited.

 We have initially concentrated our research
and development efforts on the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, a disease that has seen limited success in drug development.

 Efforts by biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical
companies in treating Alzheimer's disease have seen limited success in drug development. Biogen's Aduhelm, a monoclonal antibody
administered via infusion, received accelerated approval from the FDA on June 7, 2021, but Biogen has announced that it will discontinue
marketing Adelheim by the end of 2024. Adlarity, transdermal formulation of donepezil from the markers of Corium, was the
most recently FDA approved symptomatic treatment in 8 years, in March 2022. We cannot be certain that our oral, small-molecule
approach will lead to the development of further approvable or marketable products. Since 2003, over 500 clinical studies in Alzheimer's
have been completed and only Aduhelm, Adlarity and now our product ZUNVEYL have been approved by the FDA, compared to higher success rates
for all other drug candidates.

 ZUNVEYL remains subject to regulatory oversight.

 Even though we obtained regulatory approval for
ZUNVEYL, our lead product, it will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, advertising,
promotion, sampling, record-keeping and submission of safety and other post-market information. FDA has required that we conduct
further root cause investigation into observe high variability of the dissolution data for ZUNVEYL oral tables and develop new dissolution
methods and acceptance criteria and to report to FDA by February 28, 2025. ZUNVEYL also remains subject to a post-approval safety
monitoring program, limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to the conditions of approval,
or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the quality, safety and efficacy
of the product. For example, the holder of an approved NDA is obligated to monitor and report adverse events and any failure of a product
to meet the specifications in the NDA. The holder of an approved NDA also must submit new or supplemental applications and obtain
FDA approval for certain changes to the approved product, product labeling or manufacturing process. Advertising and promotional materials
must comply with FDA rules and are subject to FDA review, in addition to other potentially applicable federal and state laws.

 In addition, product manufacturers and their facilities
are subject to payment of user fees and continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory authorities. If we,
or a regulatory authority, discover previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency,
or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured or disagrees with the promotion, marketing or labeling of that product,
a regulatory authority may impose restrictions relative to that product, the manufacturing facility or us, including requiring recall
or withdrawal of the product from the market or suspension of manufacturing.

 If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory
requirements of ZUNVEYL or any future product candidate, a regulatory authority may take enforcement actions, such as issuing warnings,
fines, or even revoking approval, which could result in delays, financial penalties, reputational damage, and potential legal liabilities
for our Company.

 Any government investigation of alleged violations
of law could require us to expend significant time and resources in response and could generate negative publicity. The occurrence of
any event or penalty described above may inhibit our ability to commercialize ZUNVEYL and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.

 We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent
of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.
If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not
able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained and we may not achieve or sustain
profitability, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 For our other product candidates, we may
encounter substantial delays in our preclinical studies, clinical trials and obtaining NDA approval or may not be able to conduct or complete
our preclinical studies or clinical trials or receive NDA approval on the timelines we expect, if at all.

 Clinical trials are expensive and can take many years
to complete, and the outcome is inherently uncertain. The historical failure rate for product candidates in our industry is high. We cannot
guarantee that any clinical trials will be conducted as planned or completed on schedule, if at all. A failure of one or more clinical
trials can occur at any stage and our future clinical trials may not be successful. Clinical trials can be delayed or terminated for a
variety of reasons. Further, even once completed the process to receive a NDA can be delayed or unsuccessful.

 The timing and success of obtaining NDA approval
can be affected by many factors including:

 we may experience general administrative delays in the FDA review and approval process;

 our clinical trials may fail to show efficacy and/or safety sufficient for approval, or the results of
such trials may be interpreted differently by the FDA and may not be accepted by the FDA upon review;

 the population studied in the clinical trial may not be accepted by the FDA as sufficiently broad or representative
to assure safety in the full population for which we seek approval;

 we may be required to conduct costly and time consuming additional preclinical studies or clinical trials;

 we may be subject to unexpected limitations on how we may promote any approved products;

 approval may be granted only for indications that are significantly more limited than those sought by
us;

 approval may include significant restrictions on end-to-end supply chain management and use;

 we may experience delays or be unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA that the applicable
product candidate is safe, pure and potent, or effective as for its intended uses; and

 we may experience delays or be unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA that the applicable
product candidate's risk-benefit ratio for its proposed indication is acceptable.

 The timing and success of clinical trials can be affected by many factors including:

 the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities disagreeing as to the design or implementation of
our clinical trials;

 delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, regulatory authorization to commence a trial;

 imposition of a temporary or permanent clinical hold by the FDA, an institutional review board (IRB) or
comparable foreign regulatory authorities;

 reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective contract research organizations, or CROs, and
clinical trial sites, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary significantly among different CROs and trial
sites;

 identifying, recruiting and training suitable clinical investigators;

 obtaining IRB approval at each trial site;

 new safety findings that present unreasonable risk to clinical trial participants;

 a negative finding from an inspection of our clinical trial operations or study sites;

 recruiting an adequate number of suitable patients to participate in a trial;

 having subjects complete a trial or return for post-treatment follow-up;

 clinical sites deviating from trial protocol or dropping out of a trial;

 addressing subject safety concerns that arise during the course of a trial;

 adding a sufficient number of clinical trial sites; or

 obtaining sufficient supply of product candidates for use in preclinical studies or clinical trials from
third-party suppliers.

 We may experience numerous adverse or unforeseen
events during, or as a result of, preclinical studies and clinical trials which could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing
approval or commercialize our product candidates, including:

 we may receive feedback from regulatory authorities that requires us to modify the design of our clinical
trials or require that we submit additional data or information before allowing a clinical trial to be initiated or continue;

 clinical studies of our product candidates may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we may decide,
or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon drug development programs;

 the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidates may be larger than we anticipate,
enrollment in these clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher
rate than we anticipate;

 our third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements, fail to maintain adequate
quality controls or be unable to provide us with sufficient product supply to conduct and complete preclinical studies or clinical trials
of our product candidates in a timely manner, or at all;

 we or our investigators might have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidates for
various reasons, including non-compliance with regulatory requirements, a finding that our product candidates have undesirable side
effects or other unexpected characteristics or a finding that the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;

 the cost of clinical trials of our product candidates may be greater than we anticipate;

 the quality of our product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct preclinical studies or clinical
trials of our product candidates may be insufficient or inadequate;

 regulators may revise the requirements for approving our product candidates or such requirements may not
be as we anticipate; and

 any future collaborators may conduct clinical trials in ways they view as advantageous to them but that
are suboptimal for us.

 If we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our product candidates beyond
those that we currently contemplate, if we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidates or other testing,
if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only moderately positive or if there are safety concerns, we may:

 incur unplanned costs;

 be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates or not obtain marketing approval
at all;

 obtain marketing approval in some countries and not in others;

 obtain marketing approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as intended or
desired;

 obtain marketing approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or
safety warnings, including boxed warnings;

 be subject to additional post-marketing testing requirements; or

 have the product removed from the market after obtaining marketing approval.

 The outcome of preclinical testing and early
clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and the results of our clinical trials may not satisfy
the requirements of the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities.

 We will be required to demonstrate with substantial
evidence through well-controlled clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population
before we can seek marketing approvals for their commercial sale. Success in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials
does not mean that future clinical trials will be successful. For instance, we do not know whether ALPHA-1062 will perform in future
clinical trials as ALPHA-1062 has performed in preclinical studies or earlier clinical trials. Product candidates in clinical trials
may fail to demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities
despite having progressed through preclinical studies. Regulatory authorities may also limit the scope of later-stage trials until
we have demonstrated satisfactory safety, which could delay regulatory approval, limit the size of the patient population to which we
may market our product candidates, or prevent regulatory approval.

 In some instances, there can be significant variability
in safety and efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidates due to numerous factors, including changes
in trial protocols, differences in size and type of the patient populations, differences in and adherence to the dose and dosing regimen
and other trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Patients treated with our product candidates may
also be undergoing other therapies and may be using other approved products or investigational new drugs, which can cause side effects
or adverse events that are unrelated to our product candidates. As a result, assessments of efficacy can vary widely for a particular
patient, and from patient to patient and site to site within a clinical trial. This subjectivity can increase the uncertainty of, and
adversely impact, our clinical trial outcomes.

 We do not know whether any clinical trials we
may conduct will demonstrate consistent or adequate efficacy and safety sufficient to obtain approval to market any of our product candidates.

 We rely on third parties in the conduct
of all of our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, fail to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements or meet expected deadlines, we may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.

 We currently do not have the ability to independently
conduct clinical trials that comply with the regulatory requirements known as good laboratory practice ("GLP") requirements
or good clinical practice ("GCP") requirements, respectively. The FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions require
us to comply with GCP requirements for conducting, monitoring, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials, in order to ensure
that the data and results are scientifically credible and accurate and that the trial subjects are adequately informed of the potential
risks of participating in clinical trials. We rely on medical institutions, clinical investigators, contract laboratories and other third
parties, such as CROs, to conduct GLP-compliant preclinical studies and GCP-compliant clinical trials on our product candidates
properly and on time. While we have agreements governing their activities, we control only certain aspects of their activities and have
limited influence over their actual performance. The third parties with whom we contract for execution of our GLP-compliant preclinical
studies and our GCP-compliant clinical trials play a significant role in the conduct of these studies and the subsequent collection
and analysis of data. These third parties are not our employees and, except for restrictions imposed by our contracts with such third
parties, we have limited ability to control the amount or timing of resources that they devote to our programs. Although we rely on these
third parties to conduct our GLP-compliant preclinical studies and GCP-compliant clinical trials, we remain responsible for
ensuring that each of our preclinical studies and clinical trials is conducted in accordance with its investigational plan and protocol
and applicable laws and regulations, and our reliance on the CROs does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities.

 Many of the third parties with whom we contract
may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including our competitors, for whom they may also be conducting preclinical
studies, clinical trials or other drug development activities that could harm our competitive position. If the third parties conducting
our preclinical studies or our clinical trials do not adequately perform their contractual duties or obligations, experience significant
business challenges, disruptions or failures, do not meet expected deadlines, terminate their agreements with us or need to be replaced,
or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to their failure to adhere to our protocols or to GLPs or GCPs,
or for any other reason, we may need to enter into new arrangements with alternative third parties. This could be difficult, costly or
impossible, and our preclinical studies or clinical trials may need to be extended, delayed, terminated or repeated. As a result, we may
not be able to obtain regulatory approval in a timely fashion, or at all, for the applicable product candidate, our business, financial
results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates would be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate
revenues could be delayed.

 Use of our therapeutic candidates could
be associated with side effects, adverse events or other properties or safety risks, which could delay or preclude approval, cause us
to suspend or discontinue clinical trials, abandon a therapeutic candidate, limit the commercial profile of an approved label or result
in other significant negative consequences that could severely harm our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

 Adverse events or other undesirable side effects
caused by our product candidates or related to procedures conducted as part of the clinical trials could cause us or regulatory authorities
to interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials and could result in a more restrictive label or the delay or denial of regulatory approval
by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Results of our planned clinical trials could reveal a high and unacceptable severity
and prevalence of side effects or unexpected characteristics. If unacceptable side effects arise in the development of our product candidates,
we, the FDA, the IRBs at the institutions in which our studies are conducted or the Data Safety Monitoring Board, or DSMB, could suspend
or terminate our clinical trials or the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities could order us to cease clinical trials or deny
approval of our product candidates for any or all targeted indications. Treatment-related side effects may not be appropriately recognized
or managed by the treating medical staff. We expect to have to train medical personnel using our product candidates to understand the
side effect profiles for our clinical trials and upon any commercialization of any of our product candidates. Inadequate training in recognizing
or managing the potential side effects of our product candidates could result in patient injury or death. Any of these occurrences may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 In addition, our patient tolerability study and
other clinical trials may only include a limited number of subjects and limited duration of exposure to our product candidates. As a result,
our product candidates may cause unforeseen safety events when evaluated in larger patient populations. Further, clinical trials may not
be sufficient to determine the effect and safety consequences of taking our product candidates over a multi-year period.

 If following marketing approval of ZUNVEYL (which
was received on July 26, 2024) or of any of our future product candidates, we or others later identify undesirable and unforeseen
side effects caused by such product, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including but not limited
to:

 regulatory authorities may suspend, limit or withdraw approvals of such product, or seek an injunction
against its manufacture or distribution;

 we may be required to conduct additional clinical trials or post-approval studies;

 we may be required to recall a product or change the way such product is administered to patients;

 additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of the particular product or the manufacturing
processes for the product or any component thereof;

 regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a "black box"
warning or a contraindication, or issue safety alerts, Dear Healthcare Provider letters, press releases or other communications containing
warnings or other safety information about the product;

 we may be required to implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, or create a Medication
Guide outlining the risks of such side effects for distribution to patients, a communication plan for healthcare providers and/or other
elements to assure safe use;

 we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;

 we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of criminal penalties;

 the product may become less competitive; and

 our reputation may suffer.

 Any of these events could prevent us from achieving
or maintaining market acceptance of the particular product candidate, if approved, and result in the loss of significant revenues to us,
which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 Interim "top-line" and preliminary
data from studies or trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more data become available and are subject to
audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

 From time to time, we may publish interim "top-line"
or preliminary data from preclinical studies or clinical trials. Interim data are subject to the risk that one or more of the outcomes
may materially change as more data becomes available. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our
analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data when we publish such data.
As a result, the "top-line" results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions
or considerations may qualify such results once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Preliminary or "top-line"
data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary
data we previously published. As a result, interim and preliminary data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.
Additionally, interim data from clinical trials that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes
may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data becomes available. Adverse differences between preliminary
or interim data and final data could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 Further, others, including regulatory agencies,
may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance
of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability or commercialization of the particular
product candidate or product and our Company in general. In addition, the information we choose to publicly disclose regarding a particular
study or clinical trial is based on what is typically extensive information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine is
the material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure. Any information we determine not to disclose may ultimately
be deemed significant by you or others with respect to future decisions, conclusions, views, activities or otherwise regarding a particular
product candidate or our business. If the top-line data that we report differ from final results, or if others, including regulatory
authorities, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to obtain approval for, and commercialize, product candidates may be harmed,
which could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 We have conducted, and in the future plan
to conduct, clinical trials for product candidates outside the United States, and the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities
may not accept data from such trials.

 We have conducted clinical trials of our product
candidates outside the United States, and plan to continue to do so in the future. For example, we initially conducted our bioavailability
and bioequivalence pivotal clinical trials of ALPHA-1062 in collaboration with Vimta Labs, Inc in Hyperabad, India. In addition,
the Phase 1 single and multiple ascending dose studies of ALPHA-1062 in healthy volunteers were conducted at the Centre for
Human Disease Research (CHDR) in the Netherlands. The acceptance of future study data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States
or another jurisdiction by the FDA, any comparable foreign regulatory authority may be subject to certain conditions or may not be accepted
at all. In cases where data from foreign clinical trials are intended to serve as the basis for marketing approval in the United States,
the FDA will generally not approve the application on the basis of foreign data alone unless:

 the data are applicable to the U.S. population and U.S. medical practice;

 the trials were performed pursuant to GCP requirements; and

 if necessary, the FDA is able to validate the data through an on-site inspection.

 Many foreign regulatory authorities have similar
requirements. In addition, foreign trials are subject to the applicable local laws of the foreign jurisdictions where the trials are conducted.
There can be no assurance that the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority will accept data from future trials conducted outside
of the United States or the applicable jurisdiction. If the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority does not accept such
data, it would result in the need for additional trials, which would be costly and time-consuming and delay aspects of our business
plan, and which may result in product candidates that we may develop not receiving approval or clearance for commercialization in the
applicable jurisdiction.

 We may expend our limited resources to pursue
a particular product candidate and fail to capitalize on product candidates that may have been more profitable or for which there could
have been a greater likelihood of success.

 Because we have limited financial and management
resources, we must focus on development programs and product candidates that we identify for specific diseases. As such, currently we
are primarily focused on the commercialization and further development of ZUNVEYL oral tablets. As a result, we may forego or delay the
pursuit of opportunities with other product candidates. For example, we plan to out-license ALPHA-1062IN for applications in
treating mild traumatic brain injury to a private entity formed by us for the purpose of raising private capital and developing the asset.
Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities.
Our spending on current and future development programs and product candidates for specific diseases may not yield any commercially viable
products. If we do not accurately evaluate the commercial potential or target market for a particular product candidate, we may relinquish
valuable rights to that product candidate through collaboration, licensing or other royalty arrangements in cases in which it would have
been more advantageous for us to retain sole development and commercialization rights to such product candidate.

 If product liability lawsuits are brought
against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our current or future product candidates.

 We face an inherent risk of product liability
as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidates and will face an even greater risk if we commercialize any products. For
example, we may be sued if any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during product testing,
manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design,
a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty. Claims could also be asserted
under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial
liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidates. Even a successful defense would require significant financial
and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 decreased demand for our current or future product candidates;

 injury to our reputation;

 withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

 costs to defend the related litigation;

 diversion of management's time and our resources;

 substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;

 regulatory investigations, product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions;

 loss of revenue; and

 the inability to commercialize our current or any future product candidates.

 If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient
product liability insurance at an acceptable cost and scope of coverage to protect against potential product liability claims, the commercialization
of our current or any future product candidates we develop could be inhibited or prevented. We currently carry product liability insurance
covering our clinical trials. Although we maintain such insurance, any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment
or settlement in an amount that is not covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance
coverage. Our insurance policies also have various exclusions and deductibles, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for
which we have no coverage. We will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations
or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to pay such amounts. Moreover, in
the future, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses.
Following the marketing approval of ZUNVEYL or if and when we obtain approval for marketing any of our future product candidates, we intend
to expand our insurance coverage to include the sale of such product candidate; however, we may be unable to obtain this liability insurance
on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 Significant disruptions of our information
technology systems, breaches of data security and other incidents could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

 We collect and maintain information in digital
and other forms that is necessary to conduct our business, and we are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure
to operate our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store and transmit large amounts of confidential information,
including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information. It is critical that we do so in a secure manner
to maintain the privacy, security, confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. We have established physical, electronic
and organizational measures designed to safeguard and secure our systems to prevent a data compromise, and rely on commercially available
systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for our information technology systems and the processing, transmission and
storage of digital information. We have also outsourced elements of our information technology infrastructure, and as a result a number
of third-party vendors may have access to our confidential information. Our internal information technology systems and infrastructure,
and those of any future collaborators and our contractors, consultants, vendors and other third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable
to damage or unauthorized access or use resulting from computer viruses, malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication
and electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet, denial or degradation of service attacks, ransomware,
hacking, phishing and other social engineering attacks, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization or persons with access
to systems inside our organization.

 The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly
through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally
increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. The prevalent
use of mobile devices that access confidential information also increases the risk of lost or stolen devices, security incidents and data
security breaches, which could lead to the loss of confidential information or other intellectual property. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
we may face increased risks of a security breach or disruption due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees
who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. The costs to us to
investigate, mitigate and remediate security incidents, breaches, disruptions, network security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious
software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and while we have implemented security measures to protect our data
security and information technology systems, our efforts to address these problems may not be successful, and these problems could result
in unexpected interruptions, delays, cessation of service, negative publicity and other harm to our business and our competitive position.
If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our product development
programs. For example, the loss of clinical trial data from completed or ongoing or planned clinical trials could result in delays in
our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. Any security compromise affecting
us, our partners or our industry, whether real or perceived, could harm our reputation, erode confidence in the effectiveness of our security
measures and lead to regulatory scrutiny. Moreover, if a computer security breach affects our systems or results in the unauthorized access
to or unauthorized use, disclosure, release or other processing of personally identifiable information or clinical trial data, it may
be necessary to notify individuals, governmental authorities, supervisory bodies, the media and other parties pursuant to privacy and
security laws, and our reputation could be materially damaged. We would also be exposed to a risk of loss, governmental investigations
or enforcement, or litigation and potential liability, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

 Risk related to Our Industry

 Research and development of pharmaceuticals
is a lengthy and inherently risky. We cannot give any assurance that our future product candidates will receive regulatory approval.

 Our ZUNVEYL oral formulation for mild-to-moderate dementia
of the Alzheimer's type in adults (Alzheimer's disease) is our only product that has FDA approval. All our other product candidates
are in the pre-clinical stage of development. Our future success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory
approval for and then successfully commercialize our product candidates, and we may experience delays or fail to do so for many reasons,
including the following:

 our product candidates may not successfully complete preclinical studies or clinical trials;

 receipt of feedback from regulatory authorities that requires us to modify the design of our clinical
trials;

 clinical trial observations or results that require us to modify the design of our clinical trials;

 the number of patients required for clinical trials being larger than anticipated, enrollment in these
clinical trials being slower than anticipated or participants dropping out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than anticipated;

 the suspension or termination of our clinical trials for various reasons, including non-compliance with
regulatory requirements or a finding that our product candidates have undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics or
risks;

 negative or inconclusive clinical trial results that may require us to conduct additional clinical trials
or abandon certain drug development programs;

 the cost of clinical trials of our product candidates being greater than anticipated;

 a product candidate may on further study be shown to have harmful side effects or other characteristics
that indicate it does not meet applicable regulatory criteria;

 any changes to our manufacturing process that may be necessary or desired;

 third-party contractors not performing data collection or analysis in a timely or accurate manner;

 third-party contractors becoming debarred or suspended or otherwise penalized by the FDA or other
government or regulatory authorities for violations of regulatory requirements, in which case we may need to find a substitute contractor,
and we may not be able to use some or all of the data produced by such contractors in support of our marketing applications;

 our competitors may develop therapeutics that render our product candidates obsolete or less attractive;

 the market for a product candidate may change so that the continued development of that product candidate
is no longer reasonable or commercially attractive;

 a product candidate may not be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at an acceptable cost,
or at all;

 if a product candidate obtains regulatory approval, we may be unable to establish sales and marketing
capabilities, or successfully market such approved product candidate; and

 a product candidate may not be accepted as safe and effective by patients, the medical community or third-party payors.

 If any of these events occur, we may be forced
to abandon our development efforts for a product candidate or candidates, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and
could potentially cause us to cease operations. Failure of a product candidate may occur at any stage of preclinical or clinical development,
and we may never succeed in developing marketable products or generating product revenue.

 We may not be successful in our efforts to further
develop our current and future product candidates. Each of our product candidates will require significant clinical development, management
of preclinical, clinical and manufacturing activities, regulatory approval, adequate manufacturing supply, a commercial organization and
significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenue from product sales, if at all. Any clinical studies that we may conduct may
not be acceptable to the FDA or other regulatory authorities or demonstrate the efficacy and safety necessary to obtain regulatory approval
to market our product candidates. If the results of our ongoing or future clinical studies are inconclusive with respect to the efficacy
of our product candidates, if we do not meet the clinical endpoints with statistical significance or if there are safety concerns or adverse
events associated with our product candidates, we may be prevented or delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates.

 In addition, to obtain regulatory approval in
countries outside the United States, we must comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of such other countries regarding
safety, efficacy, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, clinical trials, commercial sales, pricing and distribution of our product candidates.
We may also rely on collaborators or partners to conduct the required activities to support an application for regulatory approval and
to seek approval for one or more of our product candidates. We cannot be sure that any such collaborators or partners will conduct these
activities successfully or do so within the timeframe we desire. Even if we or any future collaborators or partners are successful in
obtaining approval in one jurisdiction, we cannot ensure that we will obtain approval in any other jurisdictions. If we are unable to
obtain approval for our product candidates in multiple jurisdictions, our revenue and results of operations could be negatively affected.

 Disruptions at the FDA and other government
agencies caused by funding shortages or global health concerns could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and
other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or
at all, which could negatively impact our business.

 The ability of the FDA to review and/or approve
new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, statutory, regulatory, and policy
changes, the FDA's ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and other events that may otherwise
affect the FDA's ability to perform routine functions. Average review times at the FDA have fluctuated in recent years as a
result. In addition, government funding of other government agencies that fund research and development activities is subject to the political
process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

 Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may
also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect
our business. On March 18, 2020, the FDA announced its intention to temporarily postpone routine surveillance inspections of domestic
manufacturing facilities. Regulatory authorities outside the United States may adopt similar restrictions or other policy measures
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, or if global health concerns continue to prevent
the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly
impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have
a material adverse effect on our business.

 Failure to comply with health and data protection
laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement actions and civil or criminal penalties, private litigation or adverse publicity
and could negatively affect our operating results and business.

 We are subject to or affected by federal, state
and foreign data protection laws and regulations which address privacy and data security. In the United States, numerous federal
and state laws and regulations, including the U.S. federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996,
or HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 and its implementing
regulations, or HITECH, state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection
laws, including Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of health-related and
other personal information, may apply to our operations and the operations of any future collaborators. In addition, we may obtain health
information from third parties, including research institutions from which we obtain clinical trial data, that are subject to privacy
and security requirements under HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, and other privacy and data security laws. Depending on the facts and circumstances,
we could be subject to significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties if we obtain, use or disclose individually identifiable
health information maintained by a HIPAA-covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by HIPAA. Further, various
states have implemented similar privacy laws and regulations. For example, California also recently enacted the California Consumer Privacy
Act of 2018, or CCPA. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information,
opt out of certain personal information sharing and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA
also provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase
data breach litigation. The CCPA went into effect on January 1, 2020 and grants the California Attorney General the power to bring
enforcement actions for violations beginning July 1, 2020. The CCPA has been amended from time to time, and it remains unclear what,
if any, further modifications will be made to this legislation or how it will be interpreted. As currently written, the CCPA may impact
our business activities and as a result may increase our compliance costs and potential liability. Many similar privacy laws have been
proposed at the federal level and in other states.

 Foreign data protection laws, including Regulation 2016/679,
known as the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, may also apply to health-related and other personal information data subjects
in the EU or the United Kingdom, or UK. The GDPR went into effect on May 25, 2018. Companies that must comply with the GDPR
face increased compliance obligations and risk, including robust regulatory enforcement of data protection requirements as well as potential
fines for noncompliance of up to 20 million or 4% of annual global revenue of the noncompliance company, whichever is greater.
The GDPR imposes numerous requirements for the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information of EU or UK data subjects,
including requirements relating to providing notice to and obtaining consent from data subjects, personal data breach notification, cross-border transfers
of personal information, and honoring and providing for the rights of EU or UK individuals in relation to their personal information,
including the right to access, correct and delete their data.

 Compliance with U.S. and foreign data protection
laws and regulations could require us to take on more onerous obligations in our contracts, require us to engage in costly compliance
exercises, restrict our ability to collect, use and disclose data, or in some cases, impact our or our partners' or suppliers'
ability to operate in certain jurisdictions. Failure to comply with U.S. and foreign data protection laws and regulations could result
in government investigations and/or enforcement actions, fines, civil or criminal penalties, private litigation or adverse publicity and
could negatively affect our operating results and business.

 Moreover, clinical trial subjects about whom we
or any of our potential collaborators obtain information, as well as the providers who share this information with us, may contractually
limit our ability to use and disclose the information. Claims that we have violated individuals' privacy rights, failed to comply
with data protection laws or breached our contractual obligations, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time consuming
to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects.

 Even if the product candidates that we develop
receive regulatory approval in the United States or another jurisdiction, they may never receive approval in other jurisdictions,
which would limit market opportunities for our product candidates and adversely affect our business.

 Approval of a product candidate in the United States
by the FDA or by the requisite regulatory agencies in any other jurisdiction does not ensure approval of such product candidate by regulatory
authorities in other countries or jurisdictions. The approval process varies among countries and may limit our or any future collaborators'
ability to develop, manufacture, promote and sell product candidates internationally. Failure to obtain marketing approval in international
jurisdictions would prevent the product candidates from being marketed outside of the jurisdictions in which regulatory approvals have
been received. In order to market and sell product candidates in the European Union, or EU, and many other jurisdictions, we and any future
collaborators must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The approval procedure
varies among countries and may involve additional preclinical studies or clinical trials both before and after approval. In many countries,
any product candidate for human use must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. In some cases,
the intended price for such product is also subject to approval. Further, while regulatory approval of a product candidate in one country
does not ensure approval in any other country, a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may have a negative
effect on the regulatory approval process in others. If we or any future collaborators fail to comply with the regulatory requirements
in international markets or to obtain all required marketing approvals, the target market for a particular potential product will be reduced,
which would limit our ability to realize the full market potential for the product and adversely affect our business.

 We face significant competition in an environment
of rapid technological and scientific change, and there is a possibility that our competitors may develop therapies that are safer, more
advanced or more effective than ours, which may negatively impact our ability to successfully market or commercialize any product candidates
we may develop and ultimately harm our financial condition.

 The development and commercialization of new drug
products is highly competitive. Moreover, the neurodegenerative field is characterized by strong and increasing competition, and a strong
emphasis on intellectual property. We may face competition with respect to any of our product candidates that we seek to develop or commercialize
in the future from major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology companies worldwide. Potential
competitors also include academic institutions, government agencies, and other public and private research organizations that conduct
research, seek patent protection, and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization.

 There are a number of large pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies that are currently in market or pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of the diseases
and disorders for which we have research programs, including Alzheimer's disease, mTBI, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Current
generic competitors in the Alzheimer's disease market include donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine, and memantine. Branded competitors
include Namzaric by maker Abbvie and newly approved Adlarity by maker Corium. Alzheimer's
disease companies developing therapeutics for similar indications include large companies with significant financial resources, such as
Biogen, Eli Lilly, Corium, Taurz, Vasopharm. Neuren Pharmaceuticals, Abliva, and AB Science. In the TBI market, there are no current acute
or chronic treatments approved to date. Companies currently in clinical trials for TBI include Vasopharm, SanBio/Sumitomo, Ostuka/Avanir
Pharmaceuticals, Biogen, and Cellvation.

 Many of our current or potential competitors,
either alone or with their strategic partners, have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development,
manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, and marketing approved products than we
do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among
a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly
through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining
qualified scientific and management personnel and establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well
as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated
if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more
convenient, or are less expensive than any products that we may develop. Furthermore, currently approved products could be discovered
to have application for treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's diseases, which could give such products significant regulatory
and market timing advantages over any of our product candidates. Our competitors also may obtain FDA, EMA or other regulatory approval
for their products more rapidly than we may obtain approval for ours and may obtain orphan product exclusivity from the FDA for indications
our product candidates are targeting, which could result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we are able to
enter the market. Additionally, products or technologies developed by our competitors may render our potential product candidates uneconomical
or obsolete, and we may not be successful in marketing any product candidates we may develop against competitors.

 In addition, we could face litigation or other
proceedings with respect to the scope, ownership, validity and/or enforceability of our patents relating to our competitors' products
and our competitors may allege that our products infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their intellectual property. The availability
of our competitors' products could limit the demand, and the price we are able to charge, for any products that we may develop and
commercialize. See the section entitled " Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property." The successful commercialization
of our product candidates will depend in part on the extent to which governmental authorities and health insurers establish adequate coverage,
reimbursement levels and pricing policies. Failure to obtain or maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement for our product candidates,
if approved, could limit our ability to market those products and decrease our ability to generate revenue.

 Risks Related to Commercialization and Manufacturing

 ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation may fail
to achieve the broad degree of adoption and use by physicians, patients, hospitals, healthcare payors and others in the medical community
necessary for commercial success.

 ZUNVEYL may fail to gain sufficient market acceptance
by physicians, patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community. ZUNVEYL and most of our product candidates target mechanisms
for which there are limited or no currently approved products, which may result in slower adoption by physicians, patients and payors.
If ZUNVEYL or our other product candidates do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may not generate significant product revenue
and we may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, if approved for commercial sale, will depend
on a number of factors, including:

 the clinical indications for which the product is approved and patient demand for approved products that
treat those indications;

 the safety and efficacy of our product as compared to other available therapies;

 the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement from governmental healthcare plans or third party
payors for any of our product candidates that may be approved;

 acceptance by physicians, operators of clinics and patients of the product as a safe and effective treatment;

 physician and patient willingness to adopt a new therapy over other available therapies to treat approved
indications;

 overcoming any biases physicians or patients may have toward particular therapies for the treatment of
approved indications;

 proper training and administration of our product candidates by physicians and medical staff;

 public misperception regarding the use of our therapies, if approved for commercial sale;

 patient satisfaction with the results and administration of our product candidates and overall treatment
experience, including, for example, the convenience of any dosing regimen;

 the cost of treatment with our product candidates in relation to alternative treatments and reimbursement
levels, if any, and willingness to pay for the product, if approved, on the part of insurance companies and other third-party payors,
physicians and patients;

 the revenue and profitability that our products may offer a physician as compared to alternative therapies;

 limitations or warnings contained in the FDA-approved labeling for our products;

 any FDA requirement to undertake a REMS;

 the effectiveness of our sales, marketing and distribution efforts;

 adverse publicity about our products or favorable publicity about competitive products; and

 potential product liability claims.

 We cannot assure you that our current or future
product candidates, if approved, will achieve broad market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors and others in the
medical community. Even following the approval of ZUNVEYL or if we receive regulatory approval to market any of our future product candidates,
we cannot assure you that any such product candidate will be more effective than other commercially available alternatives or successfully
commercialized. Any approval we may obtain could be for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as intended or desired
or may require labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or safety warnings. We may also be required to perform
additional or unanticipated clinical trials to obtain approval or be subject to additional post-marketing testing requirements to
maintain approval. In addition, regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of a product or impose restrictions on its distribution,
such as in the form of a REMS. Any failure by our product candidates that obtain regulatory approval to achieve market acceptance
or commercial success would adversely affect our reputation, ability to raise additional capital, financial condition, results of operations
and business prospects.

 The market opportunities for ZUNVEYL may
be smaller than we anticipate.

 We have received FDA approval for ZUNVEYL for
mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type in adults (Alzheimer's disease). Our estimates of market potential
have been derived from a variety of sources, including scientific literature, patient foundations and market research and may prove to
be incorrect. Even if we obtain significant market share for ZUNVEYL, the potential target populations for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's
disease may be too small to consistently generate revenue, and we may never achieve profitability without obtaining marketing approval
for additional indications.

 We rely on third-party suppliers to manufacture
our product candidates, and we intend to rely on third parties to produce commercial supplies of any approved product. The loss of these
suppliers, or their failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements or to provide us with sufficient quantities at acceptable
quality levels or prices, or at all, would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.

 We do not currently have nor do we plan to build
or acquire the infrastructure or capability internally to manufacture supplies of our product candidates or the materials necessary to
produce our product candidates for use in the conduct of our preclinical studies or clinical trials, and we lack the internal resources
and the capability to manufacture any of our product candidates on a preclinical, clinical or commercial scale. The facilities used by
our contract manufacturers to manufacture our product candidates are subject to various regulatory requirements and may be subject to
the inspection of the FDA or other regulatory authorities. We do not control the manufacturing processes of, and are completely dependent
on, our contract manufacturing partners for compliance with the regulatory requirements, known as cGMPs. If our contract manufacturers
cannot successfully manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the FDA or comparable
regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions, we may not be able to rely on their manufacturing facilities for the manufacture of our
product candidates. In addition, we have limited control over the ability of our contract manufacturers to maintain adequate quality control,
quality assurance and qualified personnel. If the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority finds these facilities inadequate for
the manufacture of our product candidates or if such facilities are subject to enforcement action in the future or are otherwise inadequate,
we may need to find alternative manufacturing facilities, which would significantly impact our ability to develop, obtain future regulatory
approvals for or market our product candidates.

 We currently rely on third parties at key stages
in our supply chain. For instance, the supply chains for our lead product candidate involves several manufacturers that specialize in
specific operations of the manufacturing process, specifically, raw materials manufacturing, drug substance manufacturing and drug product
manufacturing. We have a direct relationship with a manufacturer in Taiwan for our lead candidate, ALPHA-1062. As a result, the supply
chain for the manufacturing of our product candidates is complicated, and we expect the logistical challenges associated with our supply
chain to grow more complex as our product candidates are further developed.

 We do not have any control over the process or
timing of the acquisition or manufacture of materials by our manufacturers. We generally do not begin preclinical or clinical trials unless
we believe we have access to a sufficient supply of a product candidate to complete such study. In addition, any significant delay in,
or quality control problems with respect to, the supply of a product candidate, or the raw material components thereof, for an ongoing
study could considerably delay completion of our preclinical or clinical trials, product testing and potential regulatory approval of
our product candidates.

 We have not yet engaged all manufacturers for
the commercial supply of our product candidates. Although we intend to enter into such agreements prior to commercial launch of any of
our product candidates, we may be unable to enter into any such agreement or do so on commercially reasonable terms, which could have
a material adverse impact upon our business. Moreover, if there is a disruption to one or more of our third-party manufacturers'
or suppliers' relevant operations, or if we are unable to enter into arrangements for the commercial supply of our product candidates,
we will have no other means of producing our product candidates until they restore the affected facilities or we or they procure alternative
manufacturing facilities or sources of supply. Our ability to progress our preclinical and clinical programs could be materially and adversely
impacted if any of the third-party suppliers upon which we rely were to experience a significant business challenge, disruption or
failure due to issues such as financial difficulties or bankruptcy, issues relating to other customers such as regulatory or quality compliance
issues, or other financial, legal, regulatory or reputational issues. Additionally, any damage to or destruction of our third-party manufacturers'
or suppliers' facilities or equipment may significantly impair our ability to manufacture our product candidates on a timely basis.

 In addition, to manufacture our product candidates
in the quantities which we believe would be required to meet anticipated market demand, our third-party manufacturers would likely
need to increase manufacturing capacity and we may need to secure alternative sources of commercial supply, which could involve significant
challenges and may require additional regulatory approvals. In addition, the development of commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities
may require us and our third-party manufacturers to invest substantial additional funds and hire and retain the technical personnel
who have the necessary manufacturing experience. Neither we nor our third-party manufacturers may successfully complete any required
increase to existing manufacturing capacity in a timely manner, or at all. If our manufacturers or we are unable to purchase the raw materials
necessary for the manufacture of our product candidates on acceptable terms, at sufficient quality levels or in adequate quantities, if
at all, the commercial launch of our product candidates would be delayed or there would be a shortage in supply, which would impair our
ability to generate revenues from the sale of such product candidates, if approved.

 We are subject to certain supply chain risks
inherent in manufacturing our lead product, ZUNVEYL, and future products with respect to Taiwan. Risks including periodic foreign economic
downturns and political instability, which may adversely affect our ability to obtain materials and conduct business in Taiwan.

 Our sole manufacturing location for ZUNVEYL is
located in Taiwan. There are risks inherent in manufacturing internationally, including the following: different regulatory environments;
difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; tax rates in certain foreign countries that may exceed those in the United States and foreign earnings that may be
subject to withholding requirements; the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls, or other trade restrictions; general economic and political
conditions in countries where we operate or where our customers reside; government control of capital transactions, including the borrowing
of funds for operations or the expatriation of cash; potential adverse tax consequences; security concerns and potential business interruption
risks associated with political or social unrest in foreign countries where our facilities or assets are located; difficulties associated
with managing a large organization spread throughout various countries; difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights and weaker
intellectual property rights protection in some countries; required compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; and differing
customer preferences. The factors described above may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results
of operations.

 Foreign economic downturns may affect our results
of manufacturing in the future. Additionally, other facts may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations, including:

 international economic and political changes;

 the imposition of governmental controls or changes in government regulations, including tax laws, regulations,
and treaties;

 changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements regarding the pharmaceutical industry;

 compliance with U.S. and international laws involving international operations, including the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and export control laws;

 restrictions on transfers of funds and assets between jurisdictions; and

 China-Taiwan geo-political instability.

 Our Taiwanese partners are critical to our supply
chain. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected by changes in governmental policies, taxation,
inflation or interest rates in Taiwan and by social instability and diplomatic and social developments in or affecting Taiwan which are
outside of our control. Since 1949, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland have been separately governed. The PRC claims that it is the only
legitimate government in China, including Taiwan and mainland China, and that Taiwan is part of China. Although significant economic and
cultural relations have been established between Taiwan and mainland China in the past few years, such as the adoption of the Economic
Cooperation Framework Agreement and memorandum regarding cross-strait financial supervision, we cannot assure you that relations
between Taiwan and mainland China will not become strained again. For example, the PRC government has refused to renounce the use of military
force to gain control over Taiwan and, in March 2005, passed an Anti-Secession Law that authorized non-peaceful means and
other necessary measures should Taiwan move to gain independence from the PRC. Past developments in relations between Taiwan and
mainland China have on occasion depressed the market prices of the securities of companies doing business in Taiwan. Such initiatives
and actions are commonly viewed as having a detrimental effect to reunification efforts between Taiwan and mainland China. Relations between
Taiwan and mainland China and other factors affecting military, political or economic conditions in Taiwan could materially and adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the market price and the liquidity of our ordinary shares.

 As the Company continues to manufacture in Taiwan,
our success will depend in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these risks. The impact of any one or more of these
factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 If a situation arises that prohibits us from manufacturing
in Taiwan now or in the future, we do believe we would be able to find replacement third-party manufacturer in another country. The
Company has begun sourcing from manufacturers at different geographical regions to mitigate the situation, however this could deviate
from our current timelines and cost structure. We may be forced to either temporarily or permanently discontinue the manufacturing and
sale of our products which could expose us to legal liability, loss of reputation, and risk of loss or reduced profit.

 Our product candidates have never been manufactured
on a commercial scale, and there are risks associated with scaling up manufacturing to commercial scale. In particular, we will need to
develop a larger scale manufacturing process that is more efficient and cost-effective to commercialize our potential products, which
may not be successful.

 Our product candidates have never been manufactured
on a commercial scale, and there are risks associated with scaling up manufacturing to commercial scale including, among others, cost
overruns, potential problems with process scale-up, process reproducibility, stability issues, lot consistency and timely availability
of raw materials. There is no assurance that our third-party manufacturers will be successful in establishing a larger-scale commercial
manufacturing process for our product candidates which achieves our objectives for manufacturing capacity and cost of goods. In addition,
there is no assurance that our third-party manufacturers will be able to manufacture our product candidates to specifications acceptable
to the FDA or other regulatory authorities, to produce it in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements for the potential launch of
such products or to meet potential future demand. Our failure to properly or adequately scale up manufacturing for commercial scale would
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 The manufacture of drugs is complex, and
our third-party manufacturers may encounter difficulties in production. If any of our third-party manufacturers encounter such difficulties,
our ability to provide adequate supply of our product candidates for clinical trials or our products for patients, could be delayed or
prevented.

 Manufacturing drugs, especially in large quantities,
is complex and may require the use of innovative technologies. Each lot of an approved drug product must undergo thorough testing for
identity, strength, quality, purity and potency. Manufacturing drugs requires facilities specifically designed for and validated for this
purpose, as well as sophisticated quality assurance and quality control procedures. Slight deviations anywhere in the manufacturing process,
including filling, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping and quality control and testing, may result in lot failures or product recalls.
When changes are made to the manufacturing process, we may be required to provide preclinical and clinical data showing the comparable
quality and efficacy of the products before and after such changes. If our third-party manufacturers are unable to produce sufficient
quantities for clinical trials or for commercialization as a result of these challenges, or otherwise, our development and commercialization
efforts would be impaired, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

 The successful commercialization of ZUNVEYL
and our other product candidates which may obtain approval will depend in part on the extent to which governmental authorities and health
insurers establish adequate coverage, reimbursement levels and pricing policies. Failure to obtain or maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement
for our product candidates, if approved, could limit our ability to market those drugs and decrease our ability to generate revenue.

 The availability and adequacy of coverage and
reimbursement by governmental healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, private health insurers and other third-party payors
are essential for most patients to be able to afford prescription medications such as our product candidates, if approved. Our ability
to achieve acceptable levels of coverage and reimbursement for products by governmental authorities, private health insurers and other
organizations will have an effect on our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if we obtain coverage for
our product candidates by a third-party payor, the resulting reimbursement payment rates may not be adequate or may require co-payments that
patients find unacceptably high. We cannot be sure that coverage and reimbursement in the United States, the European Union or elsewhere
will be available for our product candidates or any product that we may develop, and any reimbursement that may become available may be
decreased or eliminated in the future.

 Third-party payors increasingly are challenging
prices charged for biopharmaceutical products and services, and many third-party payors may refuse to provide coverage and reimbursement
for particular drugs or biologics when an equivalent generic drug, biosimilar or a less expensive therapy is available. It is possible
that a third-party payor may consider our product candidates as substitutable and only offer to reimburse patients for the cost of
the less expensive product. Even if we show improved efficacy or improved convenience of administration with our product candidates, pricing
of existing third-party therapeutics may limit the amounts we will be able to charge for our product candidates. These payors may
deny or revoke the reimbursement status of a given product or establish prices for new or existing marketed products at levels that are
too low to enable us to realize an appropriate return on our investment in our product candidates. If reimbursement is not available or
is available only at limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may not be able to obtain
a satisfactory financial return on our investment in the development of product candidates.

 There is significant uncertainty related to the
insurance coverage and reimbursement of newly-approved products. In the United States, third-party payors, and governmental
healthcare plans, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs, play an important role in determining the extent to which new drugs and
biologics will be covered. The Medicare and Medicaid programs increasingly are used as models in the United States for how private
payors and other governmental payors develop their coverage and reimbursement policies for drugs and biologics. Some third-party payors
may require pre-approval of coverage for new or innovative devices or drug therapies before they will reimburse healthcare providers
who use such therapies. We cannot predict at this time what third-party payors will decide with respect to the coverage and reimbursement
for our product candidates.

 No uniform policy for coverage and reimbursement
for products exists among third-party payors in the United States. Therefore, coverage and reimbursement for products can differ
significantly from payor to payor. As a result, the coverage determination process is often a time-consuming and costly process that
will require us to provide scientific and clinical support for the use of our product candidates to each payor separately, with no assurance
that coverage and adequate reimbursement will be applied consistently or obtained in the first instance. Furthermore, rules and regulations
regarding reimbursement change frequently, in some cases on short notice, and we believe that changes in these rules and regulations are
likely.

 Outside the United States, international
operations are generally subject to extensive governmental price controls and other market regulations, and we believe the increasing
emphasis on cost-containment initiatives in Europe and other foreign jurisdictions have and will continue to put pressure on the
pricing and usage of our product candidates. In many countries, the prices of medical products are subject to varying price control mechanisms
as part of national health systems. Other countries allow companies to fix their own prices for medical products, but monitor and control
company profits. Additional foreign price controls or other changes in pricing regulation could restrict the amounts that we are able
to charge for our product candidates. Accordingly, in markets outside the United States, the reimbursement for our product candidates
may be reduced compared with the United States and may be insufficient to generate commercially-reasonable revenue and profits.

 Moreover, increasing efforts by governmental and
third-party payors in the United States and abroad to cap or reduce healthcare costs may cause such organizations to limit both
coverage and the level of reimbursement for newly approved products, and, as a result, they may not cover or provide adequate payment
for our product candidates. We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the sale of our product candidates due to the
trend toward managed health care, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations and additional legislative changes. The
downward pressure on healthcare costs in general, particularly prescription drugs and biologics and surgical procedures and other treatments,
has become intense. As a result, increasingly high barriers are being erected to the entry of new products.

 We currently have a small, newly formed
sales organization. If we are unable to establish sales capabilities on our own or through third parties, we may not be able to market
and sell ZUNVEYL or our other product candidates, if approved, effectively in the United States and foreign jurisdictions or generate
product revenue.

 We have only recently established a small marketing
and sales organization. In order to commercialize ZUNVEYL and our other product candidates, which may obtain approval, in the United States
and foreign jurisdictions, we must build our marketing, sales, distribution, managerial and other non-technical capabilities or make
arrangements with third parties to perform these services, and we may not be successful in doing so. If any of our other product candidates
receive regulatory approval, w We expect to expand our sales organization with technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities
to commercialize each such product candidate, which will be expensive and time consuming. We have no prior experience in the marketing,
sale and distribution of biopharmaceutical products, and there are significant risks involved in building and managing a sales organization,
including our ability to hire, retain and incentivize qualified individuals, generate sufficient sales leads, provide adequate training
to sales and marketing personnel and effectively manage a geographically dispersed sales and marketing team. Any failure or delay in the
development of our internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities would adversely impact the commercialization of these products.
We may choose to collaborate with third parties that have direct sales forces and established distribution systems, either to augment
our own sales force and distribution systems or in lieu of our own sales force and distribution systems. If we are unable to enter into
such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. If we are not
successful in commercializing our product candidates or any future product candidates, either on our own or through arrangements with
one or more third parties, we may not be able to generate any future product revenue and we would incur significant additional losses.

 Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 Our success depends on our ability to obtain
and maintain patent protection for our technology and product candidates including our lead product, ZUNVEYL formerly known as ALPHA-1062.
If such protection is not obtained, the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, or we lose such protection,
we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets.

 We rely, and will continue to rely, upon a combination
of patents, trademarks, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, collaborators, advisors and
other third parties to protect the intellectual property related to our current and future drug development programs and product candidates.
Our success depends in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection in the United States and other countries
with respect to our technology and product candidates. We seek to protect our proprietary position by filing patent applications in the
United States and abroad related to our current and future drug development programs and product candidates, successfully defend
our intellectual property rights against third-party challenges and successfully enforce our intellectual property rights to prevent
third-party infringement. The patent prosecution process is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to file and prosecute
all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner.

 It is also possible that we will fail to identify
patentable aspects of our research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. We may choose not to seek
patent protection for certain innovations or products and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions, and under
the laws of certain jurisdictions, patents or other intellectual property rights may be unavailable or limited in scope and, in any event,
any patent protection we obtain may be limited. As a result, some of our product candidates are not, and in the future may not be, protected
by patents. We generally apply for patents in those countries where we intend to make, have made, use, offer for sale, or sell products
and where we assess the risk of infringement to justify the cost of seeking patent protection. However, we do not seek protection in all
countries where we intend to sell products and we may not accurately predict all the countries where patent protection would ultimately
be desirable. If we fail to timely file a patent application in any such country, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date. The
patent applications that we own may fail to result in issued patents with claims that cover any of our product candidates in the United States
or in other foreign countries. We may also inadvertently make statements to regulatory agencies during the regulatory approval process
that may be inconsistent with positions that have been taken during prosecution of our patents, which may result in such patents being
narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, and vice versa that may affect the regulatory approval process.

 The patents and patent applications that we own
may fail to result in issued patents with claims that protect any of our product candidates in the United States or in other foreign
countries. We cannot guarantee any current or future patents will provide us with any meaningful protection or competitive advantage.
There is no assurance that all of the potentially relevant prior art relating to our patents and patent applications has been found, which
can prevent a patent from issuing from a pending patent application, or be used to invalidate a patent. The examination process may require
us to narrow our claims, which may limit the scope of patent protection that we may obtain. Even if patents do successfully issue based
on our patent applications, and even if such patents cover our product candidates, uses of our product candidates, or other aspects related
to our product candidates, third parties may challenge their validity, enforceability or scope, which may result in such patents being
narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, any of which could limit our ability to prevent competitors and other third parties from
developing and marketing similar products or limit the length of terms of patent protection we may have for our products and technologies.
Other companies may also design around technologies we have patented or developed. Any successful opposition to these patents or any other
patents owned by us in the future could deprive us of rights necessary for the successful commercialization of any of our product candidates,
if approved. Further, if we encounter delays in regulatory approvals, the period of time during which we could market a product candidate
under patent protection could be reduced. If any of our patents are challenged, invalidated, circumvented by third parties or otherwise
limited or expire prior to the commercialization of our products, and if we do not own or have exclusive rights to other enforceable patents
protecting our products or other technologies, competitors and other third parties could market products and use processes that are substantially
similar to, or superior to, ours and our business would suffer.

 If the patent applications we hold with respect
to our development programs and product candidates fail to issue, if their breadth or strength of protection is threatened, or if they
fail to provide meaningful exclusivity for any of our product candidates, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with us to develop
product candidates, and threaten our ability to commercialize, future products. Our pending applications cannot be enforced against third
parties practicing the technology claimed in such applications unless and until a patent issues from such applications. Any such outcome
could harm our business.

 The patent position of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions, and has in recent years been the subject of
much litigation. The standards that the USPTO and its foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or
uniformly. In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States,
and many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions. For example,
European patent law restricts the patentability of methods of treatment of the human body more than U.S. law does. Publications of
discoveries in scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other
jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, we cannot know with
certainty whether we were the first to make the inventions claimed in our owned patents or pending patent applications, or that we were
the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial
value of our patent rights are highly uncertain. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued which
protect our technology or product candidates, in whole or in part, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive
technologies and products. Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States and other
countries may diminish the value of our patents or narrow the scope of our patent protection.

 Patent reform legislation in the United States,
including the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the Leahy-Smith Act, could increase those uncertainties and costs surrounding
the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents. The Leahy-Smith Act was signed into
law on September 16, 2011 and includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These include provisions that affect
the way patent applications are prosecuted, redefine prior art and provide more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors
to challenge the validity of patents. These include allowing third-party submission of prior art to the USPTO during patent prosecution
and additional procedures to attack the validity of a patent by USPTO administered post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter
partes review, and derivation proceedings. After March 15, 2013, under the Leahy-Smith Act, the United States
transitioned to a first inventor to file system in which, assuming that the other statutory requirements are met, the first inventor to
file a patent application will be entitled to the patent on an invention regardless of whether a third party was the first to invent the
claimed invention. The Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution
of our patent applications, our ability to obtain future patents, and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could
harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 Moreover, we may be subject to a third-party pre-issuance submission
of prior art to the USPTO or become involved in opposition, derivation, reexamination, inter partes review, post-grant review
or interference proceedings challenging our owned patent rights. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation
could reduce the scope of, or invalidate, our patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize our technology or products and compete
directly with us, without payment to us, or result in our inability to manufacture or commercialize products without infringing third-party patent
rights. In addition, if the breadth or strength of protection provided by our patents and patent applications is threatened, it could
dissuade companies from collaborating with us to license, develop or commercialize current or future product candidates.

 The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as
to its inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability, and our patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the United States
and abroad. Such challenges may result in loss of exclusivity or in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, in
whole or in part, which could limit our ability to stop others from using or commercializing similar or identical technology and products,
or limit the duration of the patent protection of our technology and products.

 Moreover, patents have a limited lifespan. In
the United States, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years after the earliest filed application in a family.
Various extensions may be available; however, the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. We note that certain of
our U.S. patents directed toward ZUNVEYL and ALPHA-0602 are set to expire in 2026. In relation to these particular expiring patents
we have other patents which we believe are sufficient to cover our patent protection needs in relation to ZUNVEYL and ALPHA-0602. However,
we may be wrong in this assessment or face unforeseen difficulties in relation to our patent coverage with could adversely impact the
Company.

 Without patent protection for our current or future
product candidates, we may be open to competition from generic versions of such products. Given the amount of time required for the development,
testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such
candidates are commercialized. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing
products similar or identical to ours.

 We may not be able to protect our intellectual
property rights throughout the world, which may harm our business.

 Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our
product candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some
countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. The requirements for patentability
may differ in certain countries, particularly developing countries, and the breadth of patent claims allowed can be inconsistent. In addition,
the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States.
Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States,
or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors
may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and may also export
infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States.
These products may compete with our products and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient
to prevent them from competing.

 We do not have patent rights in certain foreign
countries in which a market may exist. Moreover, in foreign jurisdictions where we do have patent rights, proceedings to enforce such
rights could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents
at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, such proceedings
could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other
remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Thus, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing and selling
in foreign countries products and services that are the same as or similar to our products and services, and our competitive position
in the international market would be harmed.

 Many countries, including European Union countries,
India, Japan and China, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled under specified circumstances to grant
licenses to third parties. In those countries, we may have limited remedies if patents are infringed or if we are compelled to grant a
license to a third party, which could materially diminish the value of those patents. This could limit our potential revenue opportunities.
Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial
advantage from the intellectual property that we develop.

 Many companies have encountered significant problems
in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly
certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property protection, particularly
those relating to biotechnology products, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of
competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions,
whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business,
could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could
provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies
awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world
may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop.

 If we do not obtain protection under the
Hatch-Waxman Amendments by obtaining data exclusivity, our business may be harmed.

 Our commercial success will largely depend on
our ability to obtain market exclusivity in the United States and other countries with respect to our drug candidates and their target
indications. Depending upon the timing, duration and specifics of FDA marketing approval of our drug candidates, certain of our product
candidates may be eligible for marketing exclusivity. The FDCA provides a five-year period of non-patent marketing exclusivity
within the United States to the first applicant to obtain approval of an NDA for a new chemical entity, or NCE. A drug is an
NCE if the FDA has not previously approved any other new drug containing the same active moiety, which is the molecule or ion responsible
for the action of the drug substance. If market exclusivity is granted for an NCE, during the exclusivity period, the FDA may not accept
for review or approve an abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, or a 505(b)(2) NDA submitted by another company for another version
of such drug where the applicant does not own or have a legal right of reference to all the data required for approval. However, an application
may be submitted after four years if it contains a certification of patent invalidity or non-infringement to one of the patents
listed in the FDA's publication Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, which we refer to as
the Orange Book, with the FDA by the innovator NDA holder. The FDCA also provides three years of marketing exclusivity for an NDA,
or supplement to an existing NDA if new clinical investigations, other than bioavailability studies, that were conducted or sponsored
by the applicant are deemed by the FDA to be essential to the approval of the application, for example new indications, dosages, dosage
forms or strengths of an existing drug. This three-year exclusivity covers only the conditions associated with the new clinical investigations
and prohibits the FDA from approving an ANDA, or a 505(b)(2) NDA submitted by another company with overlapping conditions associated
with the new clinical investigations for the three-year period. Clinical investigation exclusivity does not prohibit the FDA from
approving ANDAs for drugs containing the original active agent. Five-year and three-year exclusivity will not delay the submission
or approval of an NDA for the same drug. However, an applicant submitting an NDA would be required to conduct or obtain a right of reference
to all of the preclinical studies and adequate and well-controlled clinical trials necessary to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

 If we are unable to obtain such marketing exclusivity
for our product candidates, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our investment in development and clinical trials by referencing
our clinical and preclinical data to obtain approval of competing products and launch their product earlier than might otherwise be the
case.

 We did not receive any FDA exclusivity associated
with the approval of our NDA 218549 for ZUNVEYL.

 The validity, scope and enforceability of
any patents listed in the Orange Book that cover our product candidates including our lead product ZUNVEYL can be challenged by third
parties.

 If a product candidate is approved by the FDA,
one or more third parties may challenge the current patents, or patents that may issue in the future, within our portfolio which could
result in the invalidation of, or render unenforceable, some or all of the relevant patent claims or a finding of non-infringement. For
example, if a third party files an application under Section 505(b)(2) or an ANDA for a generic drug containing any of our product
candidates, and relies in whole or in part on studies conducted by or for us, the third party will be required to certify to the FDA that
either: (1) there is no patent information listed in the Orange Book with respect to our NDA for the applicable approved drug candidate;
(2) the patents listed in the Orange Book have expired; (3) the listed patents have not expired, but will expire on a particular
date and approval is sought after patent expiration; or (4) the listed patents are invalid or will not be infringed by the manufacture,
use or sale of the third party's generic drug. A certification that the new drug will not infringe the Orange Book-listed patents
for the applicable approved drug candidate, or that such patents are invalid, is called a paragraph IV certification. If the third
party submits a paragraph IV certification to the FDA, a notice of the paragraph IV certification must also be sent to us once
the third party's ANDA is accepted for filing by the FDA. We may then initiate a lawsuit to defend the patents identified in
the notice. The filing of a patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days of receipt of the notice automatically prevents the FDA from
approving the third party's ANDA until the earliest of 30 months or the date on which the patent expires, the lawsuit is settled,
or the court reaches a decision in the infringement lawsuit in favor of the third party. If we do not file a patent infringement lawsuit
within the required 45-day period, the third party's ANDA will not be subject to the 30-month stay of FDA approval.

 Moreover, a third party may challenge the current
patents, or patents that may issue in the future, within our portfolio which could result in the invalidation of some or all of the patents
that might otherwise be eligible for listing in the Orange Book for one of our products. If a third party successfully challenges all
of the patents that might otherwise be eligible for listing in the Orange Book for one of our products, we will not be entitled to the
30-month stay of FDA approval upon the filing of an ANDA for a generic drug containing any of our product candidates, and relies
in whole or in part on studies conducted by or for us.

 Litigation or other proceedings to enforce or
defend intellectual property rights are often very complex in nature, may be very expensive and time-consuming, may divert our management's
attention from our core business, and may result in unfavorable results that could limit our ability to prevent third parties from competing
with our drug candidates.

 One of our patent listings in the Orange
Book has an inadvertent inaccuracy which may subject us to administrative proceedings before the FDA or litigation claims.

 Our listing in the Orange Book for USP 9763953
is inadvertently inaccurate in that it currently states that the patent expires on May 16, 2027 when the patent actually expires
on December 1, 2026. While we have submitted for a correction on this inaccuracy, which we expect to occur in the next publication
of the Orange Book, the inaccuracy could subject us to administrative proceedings before the FDA, litigation claims against us for an
inaccurate listing and could potentially give rise to penalties for the Company for perjury.

 Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection
depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent
agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for noncompliance with these requirements.

 Periodic maintenance fees on any issued patent
are due to be paid to the USPTO and other foreign patent agencies in several stages over the lifetime of the patent. The USPTO and various
foreign national or international patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar
provisions during the patent application process. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by
other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of
the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Noncompliance events
that could result in abandonment or lapse of patent rights include, but are not limited to, failure to timely file national and regional
stage patent applications based on our international patent application, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time
limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If we fail to maintain the patents and
patent applications covering any of our product candidates, our competitors might be able to enter the market earlier than anticipated,
which would harm our business.

 We may need to license intellectual property
from third parties, and such licenses may not be available or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms.

 The issuance of a patent does not give us the
right to practice the patented invention. A third party may hold intellectual property, including patent rights that are important or
necessary to the development of our product candidates. Third parties may also have blocking patents that could prevent us from marketing
our products or practicing our own patented technology. It may be necessary for us to use the patented or proprietary technology of third
parties to commercialize our drug candidates, in which case we would be required to obtain a license from these third parties on commercially
reasonable terms. Such a license may not be available, or it may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, in which case our
business would be harmed.

 The risks described elsewhere pertaining to our
intellectual property rights also apply to any intellectual property rights that we may in-license, and any failure by us or our potential
licensors to obtain, maintain, defend and enforce these rights could harm our business. In some cases we may not have control over the
prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of the patents that we may license, and may not have sufficient ability to provide input into
the patent prosecution, maintenance and defense process with respect to such patents, and our potential licensors may fail to take the
steps that we believe are necessary or desirable in order to obtain, maintain, defend and enforce the licensed patents.

 Third-party claims or litigation alleging
infringement of patents or other proprietary rights, or seeking to invalidate patents or other proprietary rights, may delay or prevent
the development and commercialization of any of our product candidates including our lead product, ZUNVEYL.

 Our commercial success depends in part on our
avoiding infringement and other violations of the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. However, while certain research, development
and commercialization activities may be protected by the safe harbor provision of the Hatch Waxman Act, other activities may subject to
claims that we infringe or otherwise violate patents or other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by third parties. There
is a substantial amount of litigation, both within and outside the United States, involving patent and other intellectual property
rights in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, including patent infringement lawsuits, interferences, derivation and administrative
law proceedings, inter partes review and post-grant review before the USPTO, as well as oppositions and similar
processes in foreign jurisdictions. Numerous United States and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications, which are
owned by third parties, exist in the fields in which we and our collaborators are developing product candidates. As the biotechnology
and pharmaceutical industries expand and more patents are issued, and as we gain greater visibility and market exposure as a public company,
the risk increases that our product candidates or other business activities may be subject to claims of infringement of the patent and
other proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties may assert that we are infringing their patents or employing their proprietary
technology without authorization.

 There may be third-party patents or patent
applications with claims to materials, formulations, methods of manufacture or methods for treatment related to the use or manufacture
of our product candidates. Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending patent applications
that may later result in issued patents that our product candidates may infringe. In addition, third parties may obtain patents in the
future and claim that use of our technologies infringes upon these patents. If any third-party patents were held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to cover the manufacturing process of any of our product candidates, any molecules formed during the manufacturing process
or any final product itself, the holders of any such patents may be able to block our ability to commercialize such product candidate
unless we obtained a license under the applicable patents, or until such patents expire. Similarly, if any third-party patent was
to be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to cover aspects of our formulations, processes for manufacture or methods of use, including
combination therapy, the holders of any such patent may be able to block our ability to develop and commercialize the applicable product
candidate unless we obtained a license or until such patent expires. In either case, such a license may not be available on commercially
reasonable terms or at all. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we are infringing other intellectual property rights, such as
trademarks or copyrights, or misappropriating the trade secrets of others, and to the extent that our employees, consultants or contractors
use intellectual property or proprietary information owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related
or resulting know-how and inventions.

 Parties making claims against us may obtain injunctive
or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to further develop and commercialize one or more of our product candidates.
Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion
of employee resources from our business. In the event of a successful infringement or other intellectual property claim against us, we
may have to pay substantial damages, including treble damages and attorneys' fees for willful infringement, obtain one or more licenses
from third parties, pay royalties or redesign our affected products, which may be impossible or require substantial time and monetary
expenditure. We cannot predict whether any such license would be available at all or whether it would be available on commercially reasonable
terms. Furthermore, even in the absence of litigation, we may need to obtain licenses from third parties to advance our research or allow
commercialization of our product candidates, and we have done so from time to time. We may fail to obtain any of these licenses at a reasonable
cost or on reasonable terms, if at all. In that event, we would be unable to further develop and commercialize one or more of our product
candidates, which could harm our business significantly. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets
of third parties could have a similar negative impact on our business.

 Some of our competitors may be able to sustain
the costs of complex intellectual property litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources.
In addition, intellectual property litigation, regardless of its outcome, may cause negative publicity, adversely impact prospective customers,
cause product shipment delays, or prohibit us from manufacturing, marketing or otherwise commercializing our products, services and technology.
Any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could adversely impact our ability to raise additional
funds or otherwise harm our business, results of operation, financial condition or cash flows. Furthermore, because of the substantial
amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information
could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearings,
motions or other interim proceedings or developments, which could adversely impact the price of our common shares and warrants. If securities
analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could adversely impact the price of our common shares and warrants. The
occurrence of any of these events may harm our business, results of operation, financial condition or cash flows.

 We cannot provide any assurances that third-party patents
do not exist which might be enforced against our drugs or product candidates, resulting in either an injunction prohibiting our sales,
or, with respect to our sales, an obligation on our part to pay royalties or other forms of compensation to third parties.

 We may not identify relevant third-party
patents or may incorrectly interpret the relevance, scope or expiration of a third-party patent, which might harm our ability to develop
and market our products.

 We cannot guarantee that any of our patent searches
or analyses, including the identification of relevant patents, the scope of patent claims or the expiration of relevant patents, are complete
or thorough, nor can we be certain that we have identified each and every third-party patent and pending application in the United States
and abroad that is or may be relevant to or necessary for the commercialization of our product candidates in any jurisdiction. Patent
applications in the United States and elsewhere are not published until approximately 18 months after the earliest filing for
which priority is claimed, with such earliest filing date being commonly referred to as the priority date. In addition, U.S. patent
applications filed before November 29, 2000 and certain U.S. patent applications filed after that date that will not be filed
outside the United States remain confidential until patents issue. Therefore, patent applications covering our products could have
been filed by others without our knowledge. Additionally, pending patent applications that have been published can, subject to certain
limitations, be later amended in a manner that could cover our product candidates or the use of our products.

 The scope of a patent claim is determined by an
interpretation of the law, the written disclosure in a patent and the patent's prosecution history. Our interpretation of the relevance
or the scope of a patent or a pending application may be incorrect, which may negatively impact our ability to market our products. We
may incorrectly determine that our products are not covered by a third-party patent or may incorrectly predict whether a third party's
pending application will issue with claims of relevant scope. Our determination of the expiration date of any patent in the United States
or abroad that we consider relevant may be incorrect, and our failure to identify and correctly interpret relevant patents may negatively
impact our ability to develop and market our products.

 If we fail to identify and correctly interpret
relevant patents, we may be subject to infringement claims. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully settle or otherwise
resolve such infringement claims. If we fail in any such dispute, in addition to being forced to pay damages, we may be temporarily or
permanently prohibited from commercializing any of our products that are held to be infringing. We might, if possible, also be forced
to redesign products or services so that we no longer infringe the third-party intellectual property rights. Any of these events,
even if we were ultimately to prevail, could require us to divert substantial financial and management resources that we would otherwise
be able to devote to our business.

 We may become involved in lawsuits to protect
or enforce our patents or our other intellectual property rights, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful. Because of
the expense and uncertainty of litigation, we may not be in a position to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties.

 Competitors may infringe or otherwise violate
our patents or our other intellectual property rights. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file legal claims,
which can be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is not
valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do
not cover the technology in question. As a result, we cannot predict with certainty how much protection, if any, will be given to our
patents if we attempt to enforce them and they are challenged in court. Further, even if we prevail against an infringer in U.S. district
court, there is always the risk that the infringer will file an appeal and the district court judgment will be overturned at the appeals
court and/or that an adverse decision will be issued by the appeals court relating to the validity or enforceability of our patents. An
adverse result in any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted
narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of not being issued. The initiation of a claim against a third party may also cause
the third party to bring counter claims against us such as claims asserting that our patents are invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation
in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge
could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness, non-enablement or
lack of written description or statutory subject matter. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone
connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant material information from the USPTO, or made a materially misleading statement,
during prosecution. Third parties may also raise similar validity claims before the USPTO in post-grant proceedings such as ex parte
reexaminations, inter partes review, or post-grant review, or oppositions or similar proceedings outside the United States,
in parallel with litigation or even outside the context of litigation. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability
is unpredictable. We cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which we and the patent examiner were unaware during
prosecution. If a defendant were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps
all, of any future patent protection on our current or future product candidates.

 We may not be able to detect or prevent misappropriation
of our intellectual property rights, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect those rights as fully as in the United States.
Our business could be harmed if in litigation the prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms. Any litigation
or other proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights may fail, and even if successful, may result in substantial costs and
distract our management and other employees.

 Even if we establish infringement, the court may
decide not to grant an injunction against further infringing activity and instead award only monetary damages, which may or may not be
an adequate remedy. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation,
there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. There could
also be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts
or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could harm the price of our common shares and warrants.

 Because of the expense and uncertainty of litigation,
we may conclude that even if a third party is infringing our issued patent, any patents that may be issued as a result of our pending
or future patent applications or other intellectual property rights, the risk-adjusted cost of bringing and enforcing such a claim
or action may be too high or not in the best interest of our Company or our shareholders. In such cases, we may decide that the more prudent
course of action is to simply monitor the situation or seek some other non-litigious action or solution.

 Intellectual property litigation may lead
to unfavorable publicity that harms our reputation and causes the market price of our common shares to decline.

 During the course of any intellectual property
litigation, there could be public announcements of the initiation of the litigation as well as results of hearings, rulings on motions,
and other interim proceedings in the litigation. If securities analysts or investors regard these announcements as negative, the perceived
value of our existing products, programs or intellectual property could be diminished. Accordingly, the market price of our common shares
may decline. Such announcements could also harm our reputation or the market for our future products, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

 Derivation proceedings may be necessary
to determine priority of inventions, and an unfavorable outcome may require us to cease using the related technology or to attempt to
license rights from the prevailing party.

 Derivation proceedings provoked by third parties
or brought by us or declared by the USPTO may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions with respect to our patents or patent
applications or those of our licensor. An unfavorable outcome could require us to cease using the related technology or to attempt to
license rights to it from the prevailing party. Our business could be harmed if the prevailing party does not offer us a license on commercially
reasonable terms. Our defense of derivation proceedings may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distract
our management and other employees. In addition, the uncertainties associated with such proceedings could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our clinical trials, continue our research programs, license necessary technology
from third parties or enter into development or manufacturing partnerships that would help us bring our product candidates to market.

 Intellectual property litigation could cause
us to spend substantial resources and distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities and have a harmful effect on the success
of our business.

 Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other
legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our technical
and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings,
motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it
could adversely impact the price of our common shares. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses
and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. We may not have
sufficient financial or other resources to conduct such litigation or proceedings adequately. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain
the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greater financial resources. Accordingly, despite
our efforts, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. In addition,
the uncertainties associated with litigation could compromise our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our clinical trials
and internal research programs. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings
could compromise our ability to compete in the marketplace, including compromising our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue
our clinical trials, continue our research programs, license necessary technology from third parties, or enter into development collaborations
that would help us commercialize ZUNVEYL or our future product candidates, if approved.

 Changes in U.S. patent law or the patent
law of other countries or jurisdictions could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our product
including our lead product, ZUNVEYL.

 The United States has recently enacted and
implemented wide-ranging patent reform legislation. In addition, patent reform legislation may pass in the future that could lead
to additional uncertainties and increased costs surrounding the prosecution, enforcement and defense of our patents and pending patent
applications. The United States Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope
of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to
increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty
with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on actions by the United States Congress, the federal courts and the
USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents
or to enforce patents that we own or that we might obtain in the future. Similarly, changes in patent law and regulations in other countries
or jurisdictions or changes in the governmental bodies that enforce them or changes in how the relevant governmental authority enforces
patent laws or regulations may weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce patents that we own or that we may obtain in the
future. We cannot predict future changes in the interpretation of patent laws or changes to patent laws that might be enacted into law
by United States and foreign legislative bodies. Those changes may materially affect our patents or patent applications and our ability
to obtain additional patent protection in the future. The United States federal government retains certain rights in inventions produced
with its financial assistance under the Bayh-Dole Act. The federal government retains a "nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable,
paid-up license" for its own benefit. The Bayh-Dole Act also provides federal agencies with "march-in rights."
March-in rights allow the government, in specified circumstances, to require the contractor or successors in title to the patent
to grant a "nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive license" to a "responsible applicant or applicants."
If the patent owner refuses to do so, the government may grant the license itself.

 Our reliance on third parties requires us
to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated
or disclosed, resulting in harm to our business and competitive position.

 Because we expect to rely on third parties to
manufacture our product candidates, and we expect to continue to collaborate with third parties on the development of our product candidates,
we must, at times, share trade secrets with them. We seek to protect our proprietary technology in part by entering into confidentiality
agreements and, if applicable, material transfer agreements, consulting agreements or other similar agreements with our advisors, employees,
third-party contractors and consultants prior to beginning research or disclosing proprietary information.

 These agreements typically limit the rights of
the third parties to use or disclose our confidential information, including our trade secrets. Despite the contractual provisions employed
when working with third parties, the need to share trade secrets and other confidential information increases the risk that such trade
secrets become known by our competitors, are inadvertently incorporated into the technology of others, or are disclosed or used in violation
of these agreements. Any disclosure, either intentional or unintentional, by our employees, the employees of third parties with whom we
share our facilities or third-party consultants and vendors that we engage to perform research, clinical trials or manufacturing
activities, or misappropriation by third parties (such as through a cybersecurity breach) of our trade secrets or proprietary information
could enable competitors to duplicate or surpass our technological achievements, thus eroding our competitive position in our market.
Further, adequate remedies may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Given that our proprietary position is based,
in part, on our know-how and trade secrets, a competitor's discovery of our trade secrets or other unauthorized use or disclosure
would impair our competitive position and may harm our business and results of operations.

 In addition, these agreements typically restrict
the ability of our advisors, employees, third-party contractors and consultants to publish data potentially relating to our trade
secrets, although our agreements may contain certain limited publication rights. Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property
is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and we may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use. Moreover, enforcing
a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome
is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets.
Despite our efforts to protect our trade secrets, our competitors may discover our trade secrets, either through breach of our agreements
with third parties, independent development or publication of information by any of our third-party collaborators. A competitor's
discovery of our trade secrets would impair our competitive position and have an adverse impact on our business.

 We may be subject to claims that our employees,
consultants, independent contractors or we have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of their former employers or other
third parties.

 We do and may employ individuals who were previously
employed at universities or other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, competitors or potential competitors. Although we seek to
protect our ownership of intellectual property rights by ensuring that our agreements with our employees, collaborators and other third
parties with whom we do business include provisions requiring such parties to assign rights in inventions to us and to not use the confidential
information of their former employer, we may be subject to claims that we or our employees, consultants or independent contractors have
inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed confidential information of our employees' former employers or other third parties.
Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. There is no guarantee of success in defending these claims, and if we fail
in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel.
Such intellectual property rights could be awarded to a third party, and we could be required to obtain a license from such third party
to commercialize our technology or product candidates. Such a license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Even if we are successful, litigation could result in substantial cost and be a distraction to our management and other employees. Moreover,
any such litigation or the threat thereof may harm our reputation, our ability to form strategic alliances or sublicense our rights to
collaborators, engage with scientific advisors or hire employees or consultants, each of which would harm our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

 We may be subject to claims that we have
wrongfully hired an employee from a competitor or that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged confidential information
or trade secrets of their former employers.

 As is common in the pharmaceutical industry, in
addition to our employees, we engage the services of consultants to assist us in the development of our product candidates. Many of these
consultants, and many of our employees, were previously employed at, or may have previously provided or may be currently providing consulting
services to, other pharmaceutical companies including our competitors or potential competitors. We may become subject to claims that we,
our employees or a consultant inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other information proprietary to their former
employers or their former or current clients. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending any
such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel, which could adversely
affect our business. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be
a distraction to our management team and other employees.

 We may be subject to claims challenging
the inventorship or ownership of our patents and other intellectual property.

 We may be subject to claims that former employees,
collaborators or other third parties have an interest in our patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property as an inventor or
co-inventor. For example, we may have inventorship disputes arise from conflicting obligations of employees, consultants or others who
are involved in developing our product candidates. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship
or our ownership of our patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to
paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, intellectual
property that is important to our product candidates. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result
in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees. Any of the foregoing could harm our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.

 In addition, while it is our policy to require
our employees and contractors who may be involved in the development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual
property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who in fact develops intellectual property that
we regard as our own. Our and their assignment agreements may not be self-executing or may be breached, and we may be forced to bring
claims against third parties, or defend claims they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual
property.

 If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such
claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful
in prosecuting or defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

 Any trademarks we have obtained or may obtain
may be infringed or successfully challenged, resulting in harm to our business.

 We expect to rely on trademarks as one means to
distinguish any of our drug candidates that are approved for marketing from the products of our competitors. Once we select new trademarks
and apply to register them, our trademark applications may not be approved. Third parties may oppose or attempt to cancel our trademark
applications or trademarks, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged,
we could be forced to rebrand our drugs, which could result in loss of brand recognition and could require us to devote resources to advertising
and marketing new brands. Our competitors may infringe our trademarks and we may not have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.
If we attempt to enforce our trademarks and assert trademark infringement claims, a court may determine that the marks we have asserted
are invalid or unenforceable, or that the party against whom we have asserted trademark infringement has superior rights to the marks
in question. In this case, we could ultimately be forced to cease use of such trademarks.

 Our intellectual property agreements with
third parties may be subject to disagreements over contract interpretation, which could narrow the scope of our rights to the relevant
intellectual property or technology.

 Certain provisions in our intellectual property
agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could
affect the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or affect financial or other obligations under the
relevant agreement, either of which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. As a consequence
of these and other factors, our patent applications may fail to result in issued patents with claims that cover our product candidates
in the United States or in other countries. Such a loss of patent protection could harm our business.

 Intellectual property rights do not necessarily
address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.

 Once granted, patents may remain open to invalidity
challenges including opposition, interference, re-examination, post-grant review, inter partes review, nullification
or derivation action in court or before patent offices or similar proceedings for a given period after allowance or grant, during which
time third parties can raise objections against such grant. In the course of such proceedings, which may continue for a protracted period
of time, the patent owner may be compelled to limit the scope of the allowed or granted claims thus attacked, or may lose the allowed
or granted claims altogether.

 In addition, the degree of future protection afforded
by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations, and may not adequately protect
our business, provide a barrier to entry against our competitors or potential competitors, or permit us to maintain our competitive advantage.
Moreover, if a third party has intellectual property rights that cover the practice of our technology, we may not be able to fully exercise
or extract value from our intellectual property rights. The following examples are illustrative:

 others may be able to make product that is similar to product candidates we intend to commercialize that
is not covered by the patents that we own;

 we, or any collaborators might not have been the first to make or reduce to practice the inventions covered
by the issued patents or pending patent applications that we own;

 we or any collaborators might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of
our inventions;

 others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies
without infringing our intellectual property rights;

 it is possible that our pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents;

 issued patents that we own may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be held invalid
or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges;

 our competitors might conduct research and development activities in the United States and other
countries that provide a safe harbor from patent infringement claims for certain research and development activities, as well as in countries
where we do not have patent rights, and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale
in our major commercial markets; and we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;

 third parties performing manufacturing or testing for us using our products or technologies could use
the intellectual property of others without obtaining a proper license;

 parties may assert an ownership interest in our intellectual property and, if successful, such disputes
may preclude us from exercising exclusive rights over that intellectual property;

 we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;

 we may not be able to obtain and maintain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;
and

 the patents of others may harm our business.

 Should any of these events occur, they could significantly
harm our business and results of operations.

 We have not yet registered our trademarks
in certain jurisdictions. Failure to secure those registrations could adversely affect our business.

 None of our trademarks are registered with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any such foreign office. If we are unable to secure registrations for our trademarks, we may encounter
more difficulty in enforcing them against third parties than we otherwise would, which could adversely affect our business. Any trademark
applications we have filed for our product or product candidates or may file in the future are not guaranteed to be allowed for registration,
and even if they are, we may fail to maintain or enforce such registered trademarks. During trademark registration proceedings in any
jurisdiction, we may receive rejections. We are given an opportunity to respond to those rejections, but we may not be able to overcome
such rejections. In addition, in the USPTO and in comparable agencies in many other jurisdictions, third parties are given an opportunity
to oppose pending trademark applications and to seek to cancel registered trademarks. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed
against our trademarks, and our trademarks may not survive such proceedings.

 Over the long term, if we are unable to establish
name recognition based on our trademarks and trade names, then we may not be able to compete effectively and our business may be adversely
affected. Our efforts to enforce or protect our proprietary rights related to trademarks, trade secrets, domain names, copyrights or other
intellectual property may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could adversely impact our
business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

 Risks Related to Government Regulation

 The regulatory approval processes of the
FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable.

 Rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials
and an extensive regulatory approval process must be successfully completed in the United States and in many foreign jurisdictions
before a new drug can be approved for marketing. Obtaining approval by the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities is
costly, unpredictable, typically takes many years following the commencement of clinical trials and depends upon numerous factors,
including the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved. In addition, approval policies, regulations or the type
and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate's clinical development
and may vary among jurisdictions, which may cause delays in the approval or the decision not to approve an application. Regulatory authorities
have substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that our data are insufficient
for approval and require additional preclinical, clinical or other data. Even if we eventually complete clinical testing and receive
approval for our product candidates, the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may approve our product candidates for
a more limited indication or a narrower patient population than we originally requested or may impose other prescribing limitations or
warnings that limit the product's commercial potential. We have only submitted for regulatory approval of our lead product and have
not submitted any of our other product candidates. We have not obtained regulatory approval for any product candidate other than ZUNVEYL
for mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type in adults (Alzheimer's disease), and it is possible that none of
our other product candidates will ever obtain regulatory approval. Further, development of our product candidates and/or regulatory approval
may be delayed for reasons beyond our control. We cannot provide any assurance that any product candidates we may develop will progress
through required clinical testing and obtain the regulatory approvals necessary for us to begin selling them.

 We have conducted and completed only a limited
number of pivotal clinical trials, have limited experience in managing the regulatory approval process with the FDA and have not received
approval for any of our product candidates from the FDA or any other regulatory authority. Applications for our product candidates could
fail to receive regulatory approval for many reasons, including the following:

 the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with the design, implementation
or results of our clinical trials;

 the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may determine that our product candidates are
not safe and effective, are only moderately effective or have undesirable or unintended side effects, toxicities or other characteristics
that preclude our obtaining marketing approval or prevent or limit commercial use;

 the population studied in the clinical trial may not be sufficiently broad or representative to assure
efficacy and safety in the full population for which we seek approval;

 the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of data
from preclinical studies or clinical trials;

 we may be unable to demonstrate to the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities that our
product candidate's risk-benefit ratio for its proposed indication is acceptable;

 the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may fail to approve the manufacturing processes,
test procedures and specifications or facilities of third-party manufacturers with which we contract for clinical and commercial
supplies; and

 the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may
significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval

 This lengthy approval process, as well as the
unpredictability of the results of clinical trials, may result in our failing to obtain regulatory approval to market any of our product
candidates, which would significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects. Any delay or failure in seeking or obtaining
required approvals would have a material and adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue from any particular product candidates
we are developing and for which we are seeking approval. Furthermore, any regulatory approval to market a drug may be subject to significant
limitations on the approved uses or indications for which we may market, promote and advertise the drug or the labeling or other restrictions.
In addition, the FDA has the authority to require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) plan as part of approving an NDA, or
after approval, which may impose further requirements or restrictions on the distribution or use of an approved drug. These requirements
or restrictions might include limiting prescribing to certain physicians or medical centers that have undergone specialized training,
limiting treatment to patients who meet certain safe-use criteria and requiring treated patients to enroll in a registry. These limitations
and restrictions may significantly limit the size of the market for the drug and affect reimbursement by third-party payors.

 We are also subject to numerous foreign regulatory
requirements governing, among other things, the conduct of clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing authorization, pricing and third-party reimbursement.
The foreign regulatory approval process varies among countries, and generally includes all of the risks associated with FDA approval described
above as well as risks attributable to the satisfaction of local regulations in foreign jurisdictions. Moreover, the time required to
obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval.

 The FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory
authorities may not accept data from trials conducted in locations outside of their jurisdiction.

 Our ongoing clinical trials are being undertaken
in the United States. We may choose to conduct additional clinical trials internationally. The acceptance of study data by the FDA
or other comparable foreign regulatory authority from clinical trials conducted outside of their respective jurisdictions may be subject
to certain conditions. In cases where data from United States clinical trials are intended to serve as the basis for marketing approval
in the foreign countries outside the United States, the standards for clinical trials and approval may be different. There can be
no assurance that any United States or foreign regulatory authority would accept data from trials conducted outside of its applicable
jurisdiction. If the FDA or any applicable foreign regulatory authority does not accept such data, it would result in the need for additional
trials, which would be costly and time-consuming and delay aspects of our business plan, and which may result in our product candidates
not receiving approval or clearance for commercialization in the applicable jurisdiction.

 Even following our regulatory approval of
ZUNVEYL or for a future product candidate, our products will remain subject to regulatory scrutiny.

 ZUNVEYL, as well as any of our future product
candidates if approved, will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, advertising,
promotion, sampling, record-keeping, conduct of post-marketing studies and submission of safety, efficacy and other post-market information,
including both federal and state requirements in the United States and requirements of comparable foreign regulatory authorities.

 Manufacturers and manufacturers' facilities
are required to comply with extensive FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authority requirements, including ensuring that quality control
and manufacturing procedures conform to cGMP regulations. As such, we and our contract manufacturers will be subject to continual review
and inspections to assess compliance with cGMPs and adherence to commitments made in any approved marketing application. Accordingly,
we and others with whom we work must continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing,
production and quality control.

 We will have to comply with requirements concerning
advertising and promotion for any future products. Promotional communications with respect to prescription drugs and biologics are subject
to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions and must be consistent with the information in the product's approved label. We
may not promote products for indications or uses for which they do not have approval. The holder of an approved application must submit
new or supplemental applications and obtain approval for certain changes to the approved product, product labeling or manufacturing process.
We could also be asked to conduct post-marketing clinical trials to verify the safety and efficacy of our products in general or
in specific patient subsets. An unsuccessful post-marketing study or failure to complete such a study could result in the withdrawal
of marketing approval.

 If a regulatory agency discovers previously unknown
problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product
is manufactured, or disagrees with the promotion, marketing or labeling of a product, such regulatory agency may impose restrictions on
that product or us, including requiring withdrawal of the product from the market. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements,
a regulatory agency or enforcement authority may, among other things:

 issue warning letters;

 impose civil or criminal penalties;

 suspend or withdraw regulatory approval;

 suspend any of our clinical trials;

 refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications submitted by us;

 impose restrictions on our operations, including closing our contract manufacturers' facilities;
or

 seize or detain products, or require a product recall.

 Any government investigation of alleged violations
of law could require us to expend significant time and resources in response, and could generate negative publicity. Any failure to comply
with ongoing regulatory requirements may significantly and adversely affect our ability to commercialize and generate revenue from any
future products. If regulatory sanctions are applied or if regulatory approval is withdrawn, the value of our Company and our operating
results will be adversely affected.

 Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval
of our product candidates in one jurisdiction does not mean that we will be successful in obtaining regulatory approval of our product
candidates in other jurisdictions.

 Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval
of our product candidates in one jurisdiction does not guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain regulatory approval in any
other jurisdiction. For example, even if the FDA grants marketing approval of a product candidate, comparable regulatory authorities in
foreign jurisdictions must also approve the manufacturing, marketing and promotion and reimbursement of the product candidate in those
countries. However, a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one jurisdiction may have a negative effect on the regulatory
approval process in others. Approval procedures vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods
different from those in the United States, including additional preclinical studies or clinical trials as clinical trials conducted
in one jurisdiction may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions. In many jurisdictions outside the United States,
a product candidate must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that jurisdiction. In some cases, the price
that we intend to charge for our products is also subject to approval.

 Obtaining foreign regulatory approvals and establishing
and maintaining compliance with foreign regulatory requirements could result in significant delays, difficulties and costs for us and
could delay or prevent the introduction of our products in certain countries. If we or any future collaborator fail to comply with the
regulatory requirements in international markets or fail to receive applicable marketing approvals, our target market will be reduced
and our ability to realize the full market potential of our potential product candidates will be harmed.

 Where appropriate, we plan to secure approval
from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities through the use of accelerated registration pathways. If we are unable to obtain
such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that we contemplate, which
could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals. Even if we receive accelerated approval
from the FDA, if our confirmatory trials do not verify clinical benefit, or if we do not comply with rigorous post-marketing requirements,
the FDA may seek to withdraw accelerated approval.

 Where possible, we plan to pursue accelerated
development strategies in areas of high unmet need. We may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our one or more of our product candidates.
Under the accelerated approval provisions in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the FDA's implementing regulations, the
FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product candidate designed to treat a serious or life-threatening condition that provides
meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product candidate has an effect on a surrogate endpoint
or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a
positive therapeutic effect that is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality.
For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogate endpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical
sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itself a measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical
endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality that is reasonably
likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be
used in cases in which the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically
important improvement from a patient and public health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor's
agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional post-approval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug's
clinical benefit. If such post-approval studies fail to confirm the drug's clinical benefit, the FDA may withdraw its approval
of the drug.

 Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we
will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such accelerated approval. There can be no
assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit an NDA for accelerated approval
or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedback
we will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we
initially decide to do so. Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory
designation (e.g., breakthrough therapy designation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or
that any expedited development, review or approval will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other comparable foreign regulatory
authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or granting approval of any type. A
failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would
result in a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product
candidate and could harm our competitive position in the marketplace.

 Healthcare legislation, including potentially
unfavorable pricing regulations or other healthcare reform initiatives, may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing
approval of and commercialize our product candidates.

 We operate in a highly regulated industry. The
commercial potential for our approved products, if any, could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and policy in the United States
and abroad. New laws, regulations or judicial decisions or new interpretations of existing laws, regulations or decisions, related to
healthcare availability, the method of delivery or payment for healthcare products and services could adversely affect our business, operations
and financial condition. The United States and many foreign jurisdictions have enacted or proposed legislative and regulatory changes
affecting the healthcare system that may affect our ability to profitably sell our product and product candidates, if approved. The United States
government, state legislatures and foreign governments also have shown significant interest in implementing cost-containment programs
to limit the growth of government-paid healthcare costs, including price controls, restrictions on reimbursement and requirements
for substitution of generic products for branded prescription drugs and biologics.

 The Affordable Care Act was intended to broaden
access to health insurance, reduce or constrain the growth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparency
requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional
health policy reforms. There have been significant ongoing administrative, executive and legislative efforts to modify or eliminate the
Affordable Care Act. For example, the Tax Act enacted on December 22, 2017 repealed the shared responsibility payment for individuals
who fail to maintain minimum essential coverage under section 5000A of the Internal Revenue Code, commonly referred to as the individual
mandate. The Trump administration issued executive orders which sought to reduce burdens associated with the Affordable Care Act and modified
how it was implemented. Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since passage of the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable
Care Act has also been subject to challenges in the courts. On December 14, 2018, a Texas U.S. District Court Judge ruled that
the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional in its entirety because the "individual mandate" was repealed by Congress. On
December 18, 2019, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and remanded
the case to the Texas District Court to reconsider its earlier invalidation of the entire Affordable Care Act. An appeal was taken to
the U.S. Supreme Court which heard oral arguments in the case on November 10, 2020. On June 17, 2021, the Supreme Court
ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the law as they had not alleged personal injury traceable to the allegedly unlawful
conduct. As a result, the Supreme Court did not rule on the constitutionality of the ACA or any of its provisions.

 Further changes to and under the Affordable Care
Act remain possible It is unknown what form any such changes or any law proposed to replace the Affordable Care Act would take, and how
or whether it may affect our business in the future. We expect that changes to the Affordable Care Act, the Medicare and Medicaid programs,
changes allowing the federal government to directly negotiate drug and biologic prices and changes stemming from other healthcare reform
measures, especially with regard to healthcare access, financing or other legislation in individual states, could have a material adverse
effect on the healthcare industry.

 The Budget Control Act of 2011 has resulted
in reductions in spending on certain government programs, including aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to healthcare providers
of up to 2.0% per fiscal year. These reductions have been extended until 2030 unless additional Congressional action is taken.

 Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare,
Medicaid, or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payers. The implementation of cost containment
measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain and maintain profitability of our product
and product candidates, if approved.

 We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent
of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.
If we or any related third parties are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements
or policies, or if we or any related third parties are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, ZUNVEYL or any future product candidates
may lose any marketing approval that may have been obtained and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, which would materially affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Our business operations and current and
future relationships with investigators, healthcare professionals, consultants, third-party payors, patient organizations and customers
will be subject to applicable healthcare regulatory laws, which could expose us to penalties.

 Our business operations and current and future
arrangements with investigators, healthcare professionals, consultants, third-party payors, patient organizations and customers may
expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations. These laws may constrain the business or financial
arrangements and relationships through which we conduct our operations, including how we research, market, sell and distribute our product
candidates, if approved. Such laws include, without limitation:

 the U.S. federal civil and criminal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things,
persons or entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing any remuneration (including any kickback,
bribe, or certain rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward, or in return for, either
the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, lease, order or recommendation of, any good, facility, item or service, for which
payment may be made, in whole or in part, under U.S. federal and state healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person
or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

 the U.S. federal false claims laws, including the False Claims Act, which can be enforced through
whistleblower actions, and civil monetary penalties laws, which, among other things, impose criminal and civil penalties against individuals
or entities for knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the U.S. federal government, claims for payment or approval
that are false or fraudulent, knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or
fraudulent claim, or from knowingly making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the U.S. federal
government. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items and services resulting from a violation of the U.S. federal
Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;

 HIPAA, which imposes criminal and civil liability for, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing,
or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, or knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering
up a material fact or making any materially false statement, in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits,
items or services; similar to the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge
of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

 HIPAA, as amended by the HITECH and its implementing regulations, which also imposes certain obligations,
including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable
health information without appropriate authorization by covered entities, such as health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and healthcare
providers, as well as their business associates that perform certain services involving the use or disclosure of individually identifiable
health information;

 federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities
and activities that potentially harm consumers;

 the U.S. Physician Payments Sunshine Act and its implementing regulations, which require certain
manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies that are reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children's
Health Insurance Program to report annually to the government information related to certain payments and other transfers of value to
physicians, as defined by such law, and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by the physicians described
above and their immediate family members. Effective January 1, 2023, the U.S. federal physician transparency reporting requirements
extended to include transfers of value made during the previous year to certain non-physician providers such as physician assistants
and nurse practitioners;

 analogous U.S. state laws and regulations, including: state anti-kickback and false claims laws,
which may apply to our business practices, including but not limited to, research, distribution, sales and marketing arrangements and
claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including private insurers; state laws that require
pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry's voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance
guidance promulgated by the U.S. federal government, or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and
other potential referral sources; state and local laws that require the registration of pharmaceutical sales representatives; state laws
and regulations that require drug manufacturers to file reports relating to pricing and marketing information, which requires tracking
gifts and other remuneration and items of value provided to healthcare professionals and entities; and state laws governing the privacy,
security and disposal of personal information and health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in
significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts;

 the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, which prohibits, among other
things, U.S. companies and their employees and agents from authorizing, promising, offering or providing, directly or indirectly,
corrupt or improper payments or anything else of value to foreign government officials, employees of public international organizations
and foreign government owned or affiliated entities, candidates for foreign political office and foreign political parties or officials
thereof; and

 similar data protection and healthcare laws and regulations in the European Union and other jurisdictions,
including reporting requirements detailing interactions with and payments to healthcare providers and laws governing the privacy and security
of personal data, including the GDPR, which imposes obligations and restrictions on the collection and use of personal data relating to
individuals located in the European Union and European Economic Area (including with regard to health data).

 Ensuring that our internal operations and future
business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. It is
possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations,
agency guidance or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our operations are found
to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental laws and regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject
to significant penalties, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from government-funded healthcare
programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid or similar programs in other countries or jurisdictions, disgorgement, imprisonment, contractual
damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Further, defending against any
such actions can be costly and time-consuming and may require significant personnel resources. Even if we are successful in defending
against any such actions that may be brought against us, our business may be impaired.

 Inadequate funding for the FDA, the SEC
and other government agencies could hinder their ability to hire and retain key leadership and other personnel, prevent new products and
services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business
functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.

 The ability of the FDA to review and approve new
products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel
and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated
in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other
government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities is subject to the
political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

 Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may
also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect
our business. For example, in recent years, including in 2018 and 2019, the U.S. government shut down several times and certain
regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, had to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government
shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets
and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.

 If we fail to comply with environmental,
health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

 We are subject to numerous environmental, health
and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures and the handling, use, storage, treatment and disposal
of hazardous materials and wastes. Our operations involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials, including chemicals and biological
materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We generally contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials
and wastes. 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.

 Although we maintain workers' compensation
insurance to cover us for costs and expenses, we may incur due to injuries to our employees resulting from the use of hazardous materials,
this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities. We do not maintain insurance for environmental liability
or toxic tort claims that may be asserted against us in connection with our storage or disposal of hazardous and flammable materials,
including chemicals and biological materials.

 In addition, 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 commercialization efforts. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in
substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions.

 We are subject to U.S. and certain
foreign export and import controls, sanctions, embargoes, anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Compliance
with these legal standards could impair our ability to compete in domestic and international markets. We can face criminal liability and
other serious consequences for violations, which can harm our business.

 We are subject to export control and import laws
and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations, various economic and trade
sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Controls, the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201,
the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, and other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the
countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees,
agents, contractors and other collaborators from authorizing, promising, offering or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments
or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector. We may engage third parties to sell our products outside the
United States, to conduct clinical trials and/or to obtain necessary permits, licenses, patent registrations and other regulatory
approvals. We have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or government-affiliated hospitals,
universities and other organizations. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors
and other collaborators, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. Any violations of the laws
and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export or
import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm and other consequences.

 Risks Related to Employee Matters and Growth
Management

 We will need to increase the size of our
organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.

 As of March 28, 2025, we had 52 full-time employees
and 2 part-time contractors in total. We will need to continue to expand our managerial, operational, finance and other resources
in order to manage our operations and clinical trials, continue our development activities and commercialize ZUNVEYL, our lead product
candidate, or any future product candidates. Our management and personnel, systems and facilities currently in place may not be adequate
to support this future growth. Our need to effectively execute our growth strategy requires that we:

 manage our clinical trials effectively;

 identify, recruit, retain, incentivize and integrate additional employees, including personnel focused
on research and development and, sales;

 manage our internal development and operational efforts effectively while carrying out our contractual
obligations to third parties; and

 continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, reports systems and procedures.

 Our future financial performance and our ability
to develop, manufacture and commercialize ZUNVEYL and our product candidates, if approved, will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively
manage any future growth, and our management may also have to divert financial and other resources, and a disproportionate amount of its
attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of time, to managing these growth activities.

 If we are not able to effectively expand our organization
by hiring new employees and expanding our groups of consultants and contractors, we may not be able to successfully implement the tasks
necessary to further develop and commercialize ZUNVEYL and our product candidates and, accordingly, may not achieve our research, development
and commercialization goals.

 Our success is dependent on our ability
to attract and retain highly qualified management and other clinical and scientific personnel.

 Our success depends in part on our continued ability
to attract, recruit, retain, manage, and motivate highly qualified management, clinical, and scientific personnel, and we face significant
competition for experienced personnel. We are highly dependent upon our senior management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, Michal
McFadden, as well as our senior scientists and other members of our management team. The loss of services of any of these individuals
could delay or prevent the successful development of our product pipeline, initiation or completion of our clinical trials and preclinical
studies, regulatory approvals or the commercialization of ZUNVEYL or any future product candidates. Although we have executed employment
agreements or offer letters with each member of our senior management team, these agreements are terminable at will with or without notice
and, therefore, we may not be able to retain their services as expected. We do not currently maintain "key person" life insurance
on the lives of our executives or any of our employees. This lack of insurance means that we may not have adequate compensation for the
loss of the services of these individuals.

 In addition, employment candidates and existing
employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived benefits of
our stock awards decline, either because we are a public company or for other reasons, it may harm our ability to recruit and retain highly
skilled employees. Our employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares they own have significantly appreciated in value relative
to the original purchase prices of the shares, or if the exercise prices of the options that they hold are significantly below the market
price of our common stock.

 Competition for qualified personnel in the biopharmaceutical
field is intense due to the limited number of individuals who possess the skills and experience required by our industry. We will need
to expand and effectively manage our managerial, operational, financial and other resources in order to successfully pursue our clinical
development and commercialization efforts. We may not be successful in maintaining our unique company culture and continuing to attract
or retain qualified management, clinical, and scientific personnel in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel
among biopharmaceutical, biotechnology and other businesses. Our industry has experienced a high rate of turnover of management personnel
in recent years. We may not be able to attract and retain quality personnel on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, to the extent
we hire personnel from competitors, we may be subject to allegations that they have been improperly solicited or that they have divulged
proprietary or other confidential information, or that their former employers own their research output. If we are not able to attract,
integrate, retain and motivate necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we may experience constraints that will significantly
impede the achievement of our development objectives, our ability to raise additional capital and our ability to implement our business
strategy.

 Our employees and independent contractors,
including principal investigators, consultants, any future commercial collaborators, service providers and other vendors, may engage in
misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, which could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations.

 We are exposed to the risk that our employees
and independent contractors, including principal investigators, consultants, any future commercial collaborators, service providers and
other vendors may engage in misconduct or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or
negligent conduct or other unauthorized activities that violate the laws and regulations of the FDA and other similar regulatory bodies,
including those laws that require the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such regulatory bodies; manufacturing standards;
U.S. federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse, data privacy laws and other similar non-U.S. laws; or laws that require the
true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. Activities subject to these laws also involve the improper use
or misrepresentation of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, the creation of fraudulent data in our preclinical studies
or clinical trials, or illegal misappropriation of product, which could result in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation.
It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect
and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental
investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with such laws or regulations. In addition, we are subject
to the risk that a person or government could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. If any such actions are instituted
against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on
our business and financial results, including, without limitation, the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties,
damages, monetary fines, disgorgements, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other U.S. healthcare programs,
other sanctions, imprisonment, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of our operations,
any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.

 If we are unable to establish sales or marketing
capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to sell or market our product candidates, we may not be able to successfully
sell or market our product candidates that obtain regulatory approval.

 We currently do not have and have never had a
marketing or sales team. In order to commercialize any product candidates, if approved, we must build marketing, sales, distribution,
managerial and other non-technical capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services for each of the
territories in which we may have approval to sell or market our product candidates. We may not be successful in accomplishing these required
tasks.

 Establishing an internal sales or marketing team
with technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities to commercialize our product candidates will be expensive and time-consuming and
will require significant attention of our executive officers to manage. Any failure or delay in the development of our internal sales,
marketing and distribution capabilities could adversely impact the commercialization of any of our product candidates that we obtain approval
to market, if we do not have arrangements in place with third parties to provide such services, which is our preferred marketing and sales
strategy, on our behalf. Alternatively, if we choose to collaborate, either globally or on a territory-by-territory basis, with third
parties that have direct sales forces and established distribution systems, either to augment our own sales force and distribution systems
or in lieu of our own sales force and distribution systems, we will be required to negotiate and enter into arrangements with such third
parties relating to the proposed collaboration and such arrangements may prove to be less profitable than commercializing the product
on our own. If we are unable to enter into such arrangements when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to successfully
commercialize any of our product candidates that receive regulatory approval, or any such commercialization may experience delays or limitations.
If we are unable to successfully commercialize our approved product candidates, either on our own or through collaborations with one or
more third parties, our future product revenue will suffer, and we may incur significant additional losses.

 We may explore strategic collaborations
that may never materialize or may fail.

 We may attempt to broaden the global reach of
our platform by selectively collaborating with leading therapeutic companies and other organizations. As a result, we may periodically
explore a variety of possible additional strategic collaborations in an effort to gain access to additional product candidates or resources.
At the current time, we cannot predict what form such a strategic collaboration might take. In the event we do form such collaborations,
we intend to retain significant economic and commercial rights to our programs in key geographic areas that are core to our long-term strategy.
We are likely to face significant competition in seeking appropriate strategic collaborators, and strategic collaborations can be complicated
and time consuming to negotiate and document. We may not be able to negotiate strategic collaborations on acceptable terms, or at all.
We are unable to predict when, if ever, we will enter into any additional strategic collaborations because of the numerous risks and uncertainties
associated with establishing them.

 We may seek to grow our business through
acquisitions of complementary businesses, and the failure to manage acquisitions, or the failure to integrate them with our existing business,
could harm our financial condition and operating results.

 From time to time, we may consider opportunities
to acquire other companies, products or technologies that may enhance our product portfolio, manufacturing capabilities, expand the breadth
of our markets or customer base, or advance our business strategies. Potential acquisitions involve numerous risks, including: problems
assimilating the acquired service offerings, products or technologies; issues maintaining uniform standards, procedures, quality control
and policies; unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions; diversion of management's attention from our existing business;
risks associated with entering new markets in which we have limited or no experience; increased legal and accounting costs relating to
the acquisitions or compliance with regulatory matters; and unanticipated or undisclosed liabilities of any target.

 We have no current commitments with respect to
any acquisition. We do not know if we will be able to identify acquisitions we deem suitable, whether we will be able to successfully
complete any such acquisitions on favorable terms or at all, or whether we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired service
offerings, products or technologies. Our potential inability to integrate any business, products or technologies effectively may adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 We will incur increased costs and demands
upon management as a result of being a public company in the United States.

 As a public company listed in the United States,
we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company or a public company
in Canada, including the cost of director and officer liability insurance. These additional costs could negatively affect our financial
results. In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including regulations
implemented by the SEC, may increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations
and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance
is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards,
and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management's time and attention
from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If notwithstanding our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations
and standards, we fail to comply, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

 Failure to comply with these rules might also
make it more difficult for us to obtain some types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we might be forced
to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of
these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on committees
of our board of directors or as members of senior management.

 Risks Related to Our Common Shares

 Our stock price may be volatile and you
may not be able to resell common shares at or above the price you paid.

 The trading price of our common shares could be
highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In particular,
the trading prices for biopharmaceutical companies have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and world events.
These factors include those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section of this Annual Report and others such as:

 results from, and any delays in, our current and future clinical trials with ZUNVEYL or any other future
clinical development programs, including any delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic;

 announcements of the regulatory approval of ZUNVEYL or approval or disapproval for any future product
candidates;

 failure or discontinuation of any of our research and development programs;

 the termination of any future collaborations or license agreements;

 delays in the commercialization of ZUNVEYL or any future product candidates;

 public misperception regarding the use of our product candidates;

 acquisitions and sales of new products or product candidates, technologies or businesses;

 manufacturing and supply issues related to our product candidates for clinical trials or future product
candidates for commercialization;

 quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;

 changes in coverage and recommendations by securities analysts;

 announcements by us or our competitors of new products or product candidates, significant contracts, commercial
relationships, acquisitions or capital commitments;

 developments with respect to intellectual property rights;

 our commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;

 changes in financial estimates or guidance;

 any major changes in our board of directors or management;

 new legislation or regulation in the United States relating to the sale or pricing of pharmaceuticals;

 FDA or other U.S. or foreign regulatory actions affecting us or our industry;

 product liability claims or other litigation or public concern about the safety of our product candidates;

 market conditions in the biopharmaceutical sectors;

 general economic conditions in the United States and abroad; and

 other events or factors, including those resulting from pandemics, natural disasters, war, including the
ongoing conflict in Ukraine, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

 In addition, the stock markets in general, and
the markets for biopharmaceutical stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that may have been unrelated to the operating
performance of the Company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price or liquidity of our common shares.

 An active, liquid and orderly market for
our common shares may not develop, and you may not be able to resell your common shares at or above the public offering price.

 There has been limited trading of our common shares
on the OTCQB and CSE exchanges. Although our common shares are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market an active trading market may not
develop or, if it is developed, may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your common shares
at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise
capital by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other product candidates, businesses or technologies using our shares
as consideration.

 We are an "emerging growth company"
and a "smaller reporting company" and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging
growth companies and smaller reporting companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.

 We are an "emerging growth company"
as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of some of the
exemptions from reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including:

 not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal
control over financial reporting;

 not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information
about the audit and the financial statements;

 reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements
and registration statements; and

 not being required to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval
of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 We cannot predict if investors will find our common
stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there
may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting
exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the
last day of the fiscal year (a) following June 7, 2029, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least
$1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock
that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30 th, and (2) the date on which
we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 Under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act,
emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may, under certain circumstances, still qualify as a "smaller
reporting company," which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

 We believe that we may be a "passive
foreign investment company", which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors.

 We believe we were a "passive foreign investment
company" (a "PFIC") within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") for our most recently completed taxable year and based on current business plans and financial expectations, we expect
to be a PFIC for our current taxable year and may be a PFIC in subsequent tax years. If we are a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayer's
holding period of common shares, then such U.S. taxpayer generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition
of the common shares, as applicable, or any so-called ''excess distribution'' received on its common shares,
as applicable, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distribution. In certain circumstances,
the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the total amount of proceeds realized on the disposition, or the amount of excess
distribution received, by the U.S. taxpayer. Subject to certain limitations, these tax consequences may be mitigated if a U.S. taxpayer
makes a timely and effective QEF Election (as defined below) or a Mark-to-Market Election (as defined below). In addition, U.S. taxpayers
should be aware that there can be no assurances that we will satisfy the record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF (as defined below),
or that we will supply U.S. taxpayers with information that such U.S. taxpayers are required to report under the QEF rules,
in the event that we are a PFIC. Thus, U.S. Holders may not be able to make a QEF Election. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a Mark-to-Market Election
with respect to the common shares generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the common
shares over the taxpayer's basis therein.

 Proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress,
including changes in U.S. tax law, may adversely impact us and the value of our Common Shares.

 Changes to U.S. tax laws (which changes may have
retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of the common shares. In recent years, many changes to U.S. federal income
tax laws have been proposed and made, and additional changes to U.S. federal income tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future.

 The U.S. Congress is currently considering numerous
items of legislation which may be enacted prospectively or with retroactive effect, which legislation could adversely impact our financial
performance and the value of the common shares. Additionally, states in which we operate or own assets may impose new or increased taxes.
If enacted, most of the proposals would be effective for the current or later years. The proposed legislation remains subject to change,
and its impact on us and purchasers of the common shares is uncertain.

 In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
includes provisions that impact the U.S. federal income taxation of corporations. Among other items, this legislation includes provisions
that impose a minimum tax on the book income of certain large corporations and an excise tax on certain corporate stock repurchases that
are imposed on the Corporation repurchasing such stock. It remains unclear in certain respects how this legislation will be implemented
by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and we cannot predict how this legislation or any future changes in tax laws might affect us or
purchasers of the common shares.

 It may be difficult to enforce judgments
or bring actions outside the United States against us and certain of our directors.

 We are a Canadian corporation and certain of our
officers and directors are neither citizens nor residents of the United States. A substantial part of the assets of several of these
persons, are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor:

 to enforce in courts outside the United States judgments obtained in United States courts based
upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws against these persons and the Company; or

 to bring in courts outside the United States an original action to enforce liabilities based upon
United States federal securities laws against these persons and the Company.

 If we sell shares of our common stock in
future financings, stockholders may experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

 Because we expect our expenses to increase significantly
in the foreseeable future and because, based on our current business plans, our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities,
will be insufficient for us to fund our planned operating and capital expenditures beyond the date that is just several months after
the date of this Annual Report, we may from time to time issue additional shares of common stock. These issuances may be at a discount
from the current trading price of our common stock. As a result, our stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon the purchase
of any shares of our common stock sold at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing
or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or common stock. If we issue common
stock or securities convertible into common stock, our common stockholders will experience additional dilution and, as a result, our stock
price may decline.

 Concentration of ownership of our common
stock among our existing executive officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant
corporate decisions.

 Our executive officers, directors and current
beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock and their respective affiliates are expected to beneficially own approximately 19.3%
of our outstanding common stock following the sale of all common shares offered under this Annual Report. As a result, these persons,
acting together, would be able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal
of directors, any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other significant corporate transactions.

 Some of these persons or entities may have interests
different than yours. For example, because many of these stockholders purchased their shares at prices substantially below the current
market price of our common stock and have held their shares for a longer period, they may be more interested in selling our Company to
an acquirer than other investors, or they may want us to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders.

 Shares eligible for future sale may adversely
affect the market.

 From time to time, certain of our stockholders
may be eligible to sell all or some of their common shares by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to
effective resale registration statements and Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations.
On April 4, 2024, we filed this resale registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for the resale of up to 1,707,099 shares
of common stock by the selling stockholders named therein which the SEC brought effective on June 7, 2024. On October 14, 2024,
we filed a resale registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for the resale of up 904,753 shares of common stock issuable
upon the conversion of notes and exercise of warrants issued in our recent bridge financing for resale by the selling stockholders named
therein, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 23, 2024. On October 15, 2024 we filed a registration statement
on Form S-8 registering the issuance of up to 1,206,844 common shares upon the exercise of options and vesting of awards under our
equity compensation plans. We have ongoing registration obligations under the registration rights granted in our past unit financings
and in our recent note and warrant financing. Further, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after
six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the
Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the approximately
16,019,788 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 10, 2025, approximately 13,517,953 shares are tradable
without restriction. Given the limited trading of our common shares, resale of even a small number of common shares pursuant to Rule 144
or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

 Sales of a substantial number of shares
of our common shares in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

 If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an
intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market after any legal restrictions on resale discussed in this
Annual Report lapse, the trading price of our common shares could decline. As of March 31, 2025, we have 16,019,787 common shares
outstanding and 316,655 common shares issuable upon conversion of our Class B Series A Preferred Shares, 3,635,962 common shares
issuable upon exercise of warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $7.37, 798,932 common shares issuable upon exercise of options
with a weighted average exercise price of $4.58, and 265,642 common shares issuable upon exercise of performance options with a weighted
average exercise price of $0.25.

 Our ability to use our net operating loss
carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

 At December 31, 2024, the Company had, for Canadian tax purposes,
non-capital losses aggregating approximately $51,884,000 million. These losses are available to reduce taxable income earned
by the Alpha Cognition Canada Inc. in future years and expire between 2035 and 2044. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024,
the Company had, for United States of America tax purposes, non-capital losses aggregating approximately $9,000. These losses
are available to reduce taxable income earned by the Company's US subsidiary in future years and expire in 2042.

 In general, under Section 382 of the U.S. Tax
Code, a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") to offset future taxable income. Similarly, where control of a corporation has been
acquired by a person or group of persons, subsection 111(5) of the Canadian Tax Act and equivalent provincial income tax legislation
restrict the corporation's ability to carry forward non-capital losses from preceding taxation years. Our existing
NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes. Future changes in our share ownership, some of which are outside
of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the U.S. Tax Code or an acquisition of control for
the purposes of subsection 111(5) of the Canadian Tax Act, and adversely affect our ability to utilize our NOLs in the future. There
is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs
could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material
portion of the NOLs reflected on our balance sheet, even if we attain profitability.

 We do not currently intend to pay dividends
on our common stock, and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of
our common stock.

 We do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends
on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. Therefore,
you are not likely to receive any dividends on your common stock for the foreseeable future. Since we do not intend to pay dividends,
your ability to receive a return on your investment will depend on any future appreciation in the market value of our common stock. There
is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate or even maintain the price at which our holders have purchased it.

 The Company has outstanding warrants denominated
in both Canadian and U.S. Dollars. The foreign exchange risk associated with the variable of the Canadian Dollar denominated warrant
and the Company's resulting U.S. Dollar denominated functional currency could result in a significant risk of loss at the date
of valuing the risk and cause the Company to incur a significant non-cash derivative liability depending on the exchange rate and share
price volatility, share price, risk-free interest rate, and remaining life of the Canadian Dollar denominated warrants.

 As at the date of this filing, the Company has
outstanding warrants denominated in both Canadian and U.S. Dollars. The Company's functional currency has changed from the
Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar. As a result, Canadian Dollar denominated warrants will cause the Company to assess the foreign
exchange risk associated with the variable of the Canadian Dollar denominated warrant and the Company's resulting U.S. Dollar
denominated functional currency.

 This could result in a significant risk of loss
at the date of valuing the risk and cause the Company to incur a significant non-cash derivative liability depending on the exchange
rate and share price volatility, share price, risk-free interest rate, and remaining life of the Canadian Dollar denominated warrants.

 General Risk Factors

 Unfavorable global economic or political
conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 Our business is susceptible to general conditions
in the global economy and in the global financial markets. A global financial crisis or a global or regional political disruption could
cause extreme volatility in the capital and credit markets. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread unemployment,
economic slowdown and extreme volatility in the capital markets. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times in response
to concerns about inflation and it may raise them again. Higher interest rates, coupled with reduced government spending and volatility
in financial markets, may increase economic uncertainty and affect consumer spending.

 Similarly, the ongoing military conflict between
Russia and Ukraine and increasing tensions between China and Taiwan have created extreme volatility in the global capital markets and
may have further global economic consequences, including disruptions of the global supply chain. Any such volatility and disruptions may
adversely affect our business or the third parties on whom we rely. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, including as a result
of political unrest or war, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to complete, more costly, and more dilutive.
Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth
strategy, financial performance and share price and could require us to delay or abandon development or commercialization plans. In addition,
there is a risk that one or more of our service providers, manufacturers or other partners would not survive or be able to meet their
commitments to us under such circumstances, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.
We have experienced and may in the future experience disruptions as a result of such macroeconomic conditions, including delays or difficulties
in initiating or expanding clinical trials and manufacturing sufficient quantities of materials. Any one or a combination of these events
could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 Tariffs and other trade policies could have
a substantial impact on our business.

 Our business is dependent upon the availability
of supplies for our products. U.S. relations with the rest of the world remains uncertain with respect to taxes, trade policies and tariffs,
especially under an increasingly volatile political landscape within the U.S. and abroad. Changes in U.S. administrative policy may lead
to significant increases in tariffs for imported goods among other possible changes. There have been significant tariffs imposed on imported
goods within the U.S. and there are currently indications that future tariffs are likely to be imposed. The imposition of such tariffs
may strain international trade relations and increase the risk that foreign governments implement retaliatory tariffs on goods imported
from the United States. Similarly, interest rates may continue to rise and create further uncertainty and volatility in the market which
would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the potential exists that other countries
may impose retaliatory tariffs, which could adversely affect our sales to those countries.

 These political and economic changes could have
a material effect on global economic conditions and the stability of financial markets and could significantly reduce global trade. In
addition to potential increases on tariffs, wars or conflicts could affect our ability to obtain raw materials. Ongoing and future conflicts
and other geopolitical events may result in sanctions or other export controls imposed by the U.S. or United Nations.

 If securities or industry analysts do not
publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price
and trading volume could decline.

 The trading market for our common stock will be
influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have
and may never obtain US Based research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts commence
or continue coverage of us, the trading price for our stock would be negatively impacted. In the event we obtain securities or industry
analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual
property or our stock performance, or if our clinical trials and operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock
price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could
lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 We may be subject to securities litigation,
which is expensive and could divert our management's attention.

 In the past, companies that have experienced volatility
in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of
litigation in the future. Regardless of the merits or the ultimate results of such litigation, securities litigation brought against us
could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns.

 We may fail to comply with the rules that
apply to public companies, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which could result in sanctions or
other penalties that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 We are subject to Section 404 and the related
rules of the SEC, which generally require our management and independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting. Beginning with the second annual report that we will be required to file with the SEC,
Section 404 requires an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However,
for so long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to 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. Once we are no longer an emerging growth
company or, if prior to such date, we opt to no longer take advantage of the applicable exemption, we will be required to include an opinion
from our independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

 During the course of our review and testing, we
may identify deficiencies and be unable to remediate them before we must provide the required reports. Furthermore, if we identify any
material weaknesses, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We or our independent
registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial
reporting, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, cause investors
to lose confidence in our reported financial information and cause the trading price of our stock to fall. In addition, as a public company
we will be required to file accurate and timely quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. In order to report
our results of operations and financial statements on an accurate and timely basis, we will depend in part on CROs and other third parties
to provide timely and accurate notice of their costs to us. Any failure to report our financial results on an accurate and timely basis
could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of our shares from the Nasdaq or other adverse consequences that would materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 Our disclosure controls and procedures may
not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

 We are subject to certain reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that any disclosure
controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by an unauthorized override
of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements or insufficient disclosures due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 Our business will be subject to the risks
of climate change, natural catastrophic events, world events, and man-made problems such as power disruptions or terrorism.

 A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake,
a fire, a flood, or significant power outage could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. Climate change or a natural disaster could affect our personnel, data centers, supply chain, manufacturing vendors, or logistics
providers' ability to provide materials and perform services such as manufacturing products or assisting with shipments on a timely
basis. In addition, climate change could result in an increase in the frequency or severity of natural disasters. Climate change or a
natural disaster may also affect our ability to occur raw materials needed for manufacturing and production. Likewise, we could be subject
to other man-made problems, including but not limited to power disruptions and terrorist acts. Although we will maintain incident
management and disaster response plans, in the event of a major disruption caused by a natural disaster or man-made problem,
we may be unable to continue its operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our development activities,
lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, and our insurance may not cover such events or
may be insufficient to compensate it for the potentially significant losses we may incur. Acts of terrorism and other geo-political unrest
could also cause disruptions in our business or the business of our supply chain, manufacturers, logistics providers, partners, or customers
or the economy as a whole. Recently, Russia initiated significant military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain
other countries imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected
to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations, and the U.S. and certain other countries could impose
further sanctions, trade restrictions, and other retaliatory actions should the conflict continue or worsen. It is not possible to predict
the broader consequences of the conflict, including related geopolitical tensions, and the measures and retaliatory actions taken by the
U.S. and other countries in respect thereof as well as any counter measures or retaliatory actions by Russia or Belarus in response,
including, for example, potential cyberattacks or the disruption of energy exports, is likely to cause regional instability, geopolitical
shifts, and could materially adversely affect regional economies and the global economy. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and ongoing
conflicts in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Hamas and Israel and Hezbollah, may lead to global economic instability
and fluctuating energy prices that could materially affect our business. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the
conflicts in the Middle East, including related geopolitical tensions and the measures and actions taken by other countries in respect
thereof, which could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies, and the global economy. The
situations in Ukraine and the Middle East remain uncertain, and while it is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, the
conflicts and actions taken in response to the conflicts could increase our costs, disrupt our manufacturing and supply chain, reduce
our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any disruption in the business of its supply chain, manufacturers,
logistics providers, partners or customers that impacts sales at the end of a fiscal quarter could have a significant adverse impact on
our financial results. All of the aforementioned risks may be further increased if disaster recovery plans prove to be inadequate. To
the extent that any of the above should result in delays or cancellations of customer orders, or the delay in the manufacture, deployment,
or shipment of our products, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 None.

 ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

 Risk Management and Strategy

 We have implemented and maintain various information
security processes designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks,
third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential
information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, employee personal information, and clinical trial data, or Information
Systems and Data.

 We leverage a third party service provider under
the direction of our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, to help management identify, assess and manage our cybersecurity threats and risks.
With the assistance of our third-party service provider, we identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating
our threat environment and our risk profile using various methods including, for example, automated tools for ransomware and virus protection,
identity verification tools aimed at ensuring authorized environment access, and ongoing vulnerability assessments.

 Depending on the environment and system, we implement
and maintain various technical, physical, and organizational measures and processes designed to manage and mitigate material risks from
cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: data encryption for certain data, network security
controls, data segregation for certain data, access controls, physical security controls, monitoring for certain systems, asset management
and tracking, and employee training. We also maintain cybersecurity insurance.

 Our assessment and management of material risks
from cybersecurity threats are taken into account in our overall risk management processes. For example, we evaluate identified material
risks from cybersecurity threats against our overall business objectives and will report material risks, if identified, to the audit committee
of the board of directors, which evaluates our overall enterprise risk.

 We use third-party service providers to assist
management to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including for example, a managed security provider
and professional services firms, including outside legal counsel.

 We use third-party service providers to perform
a variety of functions throughout our business, including, for example, application providers, hosting companies, contract research organizations,
and contract manufacturing organizations. We have certain vendor management processes to help manage cybersecurity risks associated with
our use of certain of these providers, and, depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity of the Information Systems
and Data at issue, and the identity of the provider, those processes may involve different levels of assessment and risk mitigation measures,
including, for example, the imposition of contractual obligations related to cybersecurity on the provider.

 Governance

 Our board of directors addresses our cybersecurity
risk management as part of its general oversight function. The audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for overseeing
our cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight and mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats.

 Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management
processes are implemented and maintained by certain members of Company management, including our CFO, leveraging the expertise of our
third party service provider. Our CFO has two years of oversight responsibilities for cybersecurity elements and has been involved in
the oversight of the implementation of the Company's current cybersecurity measures.

 Currently, our CFO is responsible for hiring appropriate
personnel, managing external third-party providers, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into our overall risk management
strategy, communicating key priorities to relevant personnel, approving budgets, helping prepare for cybersecurity incidents, approving
cybersecurity processes, and reviewing security assessments and other security-related reports.

 Our cybersecurity incident response processes
are designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances, including to our CFO.
As part of those processes, members of management, including our CFO, would work to help the Company mitigate and remediate cybersecurity
incidents of which they are notified. In addition, our incident response processes are designed to report certain cybersecurity incidents
to the audit committee of the board of directors.

 The audit committee receives periodic reports
from management concerning our cybersecurity risks and the processes we have implemented to address them. The audit committee also has
access to various reports, summaries or presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk and mitigation.

 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 The Company does not own or rent any real estate
with respect to its corporate head office and laboratory facilities.

 Our corporate head office is located at Suite
1200 – 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T8.

 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 From time to time, we are involved in various
legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings
nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies. However, from time to time, we may become involved
in other litigation or legal proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business

 Exchange Controls

 There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations
in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends,
interest, or other payments to non-resident holders of the securities of Vista, other than Canadian withholding tax. See "Certain
Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Residents" below.

 Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations
for U.S. Residents

 The following summarizes certain Canadian federal
income tax consequences generally applicable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations enacted thereunder
(collectively, the "Canadian Tax Act") and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the "Convention")
to the holding and disposition of common shares.

 Comment is restricted to holders of common shares
each of whom, at all material times for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention:

 (i)
 is resident solely in the United States;

 (ii)
 is entitled to the benefits
of the Convention;

 (iii)
 holds all common shares as
capital property;

 (iv)
 holds no common shares that
are "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) of the holder;

 (v)
 deals at arm's length
with and is not affiliated with Vista;

 (vi)
 does not and is not deemed
to use or hold any common shares in a business carried on in Canada; and

 (vii)
 is not an insurer that carries
on business in Canada and elsewhere;

 (each such holder, a "U.S. Resident
Holder").

 Certain U.S.-resident entities that are fiscally
transparent for United States federal income tax purposes (including limited liability companies) are generally not themselves entitled
to the benefits of the Convention. However, members of, or holders of, an interest in such entities that hold common shares may be entitled
to the benefits of the Convention for income derived through such entities. Such members or holders should consult their own tax advisors
in this regard.

 Generally, a holder's common shares will
be considered to be capital property of the holder provided that the holder is not a trader or dealer in securities, did not acquire,
hold or dispose of the common shares in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade and does
not hold the common shares as inventory in the course of carrying on a business.

 Generally, a holder's common shares will
not be "taxable Canadian property" of the holder at a particular time at which the common shares are listed on a "designated
stock exchange" (which currently includes the TSX) unless both of the following conditions are met at any time during the 60-month
period ending at the particular time:

 (i)
 the holder, persons with whom
the holder does not deal at arm's length, or any partnership in which the holder or persons with whom the holder did not deal at
arm's length holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, alone or in any combination,
owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of Vista; and

 (ii)
 more than 50% of the fair market
value of the common shares was derived directly or indirectly from, or from any combination of, real or immovable property situated in
Canada, "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), "timber resource properties" (as
defined in the Canadian Tax Act), or options in respect of or interests in such properties.

 In certain other circumstances, a Common Share
may be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property" for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.

 This summary is based on the current provisions
of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention in effect on the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act
and Convention publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) on or before the date hereof, and the current published
administrative and assessing policies of the CRA. It is assumed that all such amendments will be enacted as currently proposed, and that
there will be no other material change to any applicable law or administrative or assessing practice, although no assurance can be given
in these respects. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign
tax considerations, which may differ materially from those set out herein.

 This summary is of a general nature only,
is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be and should not be construed as
legal or tax advice to any particular U.S. Resident Holder. U.S. Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisers for advice
with respect to their particular circumstances. The discussion below is qualified accordingly.

 A U.S. Resident Holder who disposes or is deemed
to dispose of one or more common shares generally should not thereby incur any liability for Canadian federal income tax in respect of
any capital gain arising as a consequence of the disposition.

 A U.S. Resident Holder to whom Vista pays or is
deemed to pay a dividend on the holder's common shares will be subject to Canadian withholding tax, and Vista will be required to
withhold the tax from the dividend and remit it to the CRA for the holder's account. The rate of withholding tax under the Canadian
Tax Act is 25% of the gross amount of the dividend (subject to reduction under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty). Under the
Convention, a U.S. Resident Holder who beneficially owns the dividend will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate
of 15 % (or 5%, if the U.S. Resident Holder who beneficially owns the dividend is a company that is not fiscally transparent and which
owns at least 10% of the voting stock of Vista) of the gross amount of the dividend.

 Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
for U.S. Residents

 There may be material tax consequences to U.S.
Residents in relation to an acquisition or disposition of common shares or other securities of the Company. U.S. Residents should consult
their own legal, accounting and tax advisors regarding such tax consequences under United States, state, local or foreign tax law regarding
the acquisition or disposition of our common shares or other securities, in particular, the tax consequences of the Company possibly being
a PFIC within the meaning of Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. See the section "Item 1A.
– Risk Factors – The Company is possibly a "passive foreign investment company," which would likely have adverse
U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. shareholders" above.

 ITEM 6. [RESERVED]

 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDIITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 The following discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and
the related notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information that involve risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
and information as a result of many factors. See section heading "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements."

 Overview

 The Company is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated
to developing treatments for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease ("Alzheimer's
disease" or "AD"), for which there are limited or no treatment options. The Company will focuses on the development
of commercial manufacturing and commercial sales of ZUNVEYL oral tablet formulation. The Company's commercial development program
for ZUNVEYL is primarily focused on building a long-term care commercial team that can focus on providing key points of differentiation,
exploiting key issues with existing AChEI treatments, and franchising potential additional indications and new products.

 For additional details regarding our business,
see the discussion under " Business " in Item 1 of Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 The Company will target the largest volume nursing
homes specializing in Alzheimer's Disease, leveraging an account-based sales team with demonstrated success in LTC, positioning
ZUNVEYL with Medicare payors, and developing strategic and clinical partnerships with consultant pharmacists and long-term care pharmacies.
The company's anticipated launch is in Q1 2025. Alpha Cognition has set the Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) for its latest therapeutic
product at $749 per month. This pricing reflects the company's commitment to balancing patient access with the value of innovative
healthcare solutions. By establishing a competitive WAC price, Alpha Cognition aims to enhance affordability and ensure patients can benefit
from our advanced treatment options. Patients' out-of-pocket cost for treatment with ZUNVEYL will depend on their length of treatment
and their insurance. The Company has three additional pre-clinical development programs: ZUNVEYL in combination with memantine for
the treatment of moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease, ALPHA-1062 sublingual formulation, ALPHA-1062 intranasal
("ALPHA-1062IN") formulation for the treatment of cognitive impairment with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI; otherwise known
as concussion) and ALPHA-0602, ALPHA-0702 & ALPHA-0802, also referred to as 'Progranulin' and 'Progranulin
GEM's', for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as ALS or
Lou Gehrig's disease and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

 ZUNVEYL, is a patented new innovative product
being developed as a next generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitor for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, with expected minimal
gastrointestinal side effects. ZUNVEYL's active metabolite is differentiated from donepezil and rivastigmine in that it binds neuronal
nicotinic receptors, most notably the alpha-7 subtype, which is known to have a positive effect on cognition. ZUNVEYL is in pre-clinical development
in combination with memantine to treat moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease, in pre-clinical development with sublingual
formulation for patients suffering from dysphagia, and ALPHA-1062IN is intended to be out-licensed for pre-clinical development
to study an intranasal formulation for cognitive impairment with mTBI.

 Our other pre-clinical stage assets include
ALPHA-0602, ALPHA-0702 & ALPHA-0802 (Progranulin and Progranulin GEM's), which are expressed in several cell types
in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues, promotes cell survival, regulates certain inflammatory processes, and play a
significant role in regulating lysosomal function and microglial responses to disease. Its intended use for the treatment of neurodegenerative
diseases has been patented by the Company and ALPHA-0602 has been granted an Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ALS by
the FDA. Orphan Drug Designation was provided for ALPHA-0602 by the Office of Orphan Drug Products, FDA on February 2020
based on the Federal Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act, whereby the ALPHA-0602 met the criteria designated in Section 526 of such
Act. For a further description see the section entitled " Business — Government Regulation — Orphan
Drug Designation ". The Orphan Drug Designation allows for exclusivity provisions provided the drug is approved first for indication:
treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALPHA-0702 and ALPHA-0802 are Granulin Epithelin Motifs, ("GEMs"), derived
from full length progranulin which have therapeutic potential across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. GEMs have been shown to be important
in regulating cell growth, survival, repair, and inflammation. ALPHA-0702 and ALPHA-0802 are designed to deliver this with potentially
lower toxicity, and greater therapeutic effect. As the assets are pre-clinical assets and do not add material value to the Company,
the Company will not develop these assets further and instead will seek to out-license the assets to interested third parties. Given
the early stage of discussion with third parties, the Company cannot assess value to a license agreement.

 The Company is the parent company of Alpha Cognition
Canada Inc. ("Alpha Canada" or "ACI Canada") which is the parent company of Alpha Cognition USA Inc. ("ACI
USA"). As of May 1, 2023, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the CSE under the symbol "ACOG",
previously the Company's shares were traded on the TSX-V until April 28, 2023, when the Company had them delisted. As of November
12, 2024, the Company's common shares commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ACOG". The Company's
shares were voluntarily delisted from the CSE and OTCQB on December 17, 2024.

 Operations

 The Company has not generated revenues from its operations to date
and as of December 31, 2024, and had a deficit of $76,285,038 (December 31, 2023 – $61,648,173) which has been primarily
financed by equity. The Company had $48,564,082 in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and $3,350,752 in current liabilities
(of which $97,515 is payable from the Company's available restricted cash balance) as of December 31, 2024. The Company's
continuing operations, as intended, are highly dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding and eventually generate cash flows.
Management is of the opinion that it does have sufficient working capital to fully meet the Company's liabilities and commitments
as outlined and planned in the following discussion. Management is of the opinion it will need to raise additional capital to cover upcoming
planned Research and Development ("R&D"), commercialization of ZUNVEYL and operating costs. Possible sources of such capital
may come from private placements and public offerings of the Company's common shares and funds received from the exercise of warrants
and share options. Additionally, the Company will also consider funding that may arise through partnership activities, including royalties,
and debt. There is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable, or at all to the Company.

 The Company is also contemplating raising capital
by pursuing both dilutive and non-dilutive strategic sources of capital to fully execute its commercialization and operating plans following
receipt of the NDA approval for ZUNVEYL from the FDA. Any additional capital is expected to further support our planned costs to begin
commercial activities including launching U.S. sales of ZUNVEYL in AD

 Reverse Stock Split

 On November 5,
2024, we completed a reverse stock split of our common shares with a stock split ratio of 1 -for-25 ("Reverse
Stock Split").

 Except as otherwise indicated, all references
to our common shares, share data, per share data and related information depict the effect of the Reverse Stock Split as if it had occurred
at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Reverse Stock Split combined each twenty five shares of our outstanding common
shares into one common share, without any change in the par value per share which will remain no par value, and the Reverse Stock Split
correspondingly adjusted, among other things, the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and
the exercise price of such options and warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and other convertible securities.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock
Split were rounded to the nearest whole share.

 Components of our Results of Operations

 Research and development expenses represent costs
incurred to conduct research, such as the discovery and development of our product candidates. We recognize all research and development
costs as they are incurred unless there is an alternative future use in other research and development projects or otherwise.

 Research and development expenses consists primarily of the following:

 costs related to production
of clinical supplies and non-clinical materials, including fees paid to contract manufacturers.

 employee-related expenses,
which include salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation.

 other expenses including travel
and consulting services.

 General and administrative expenses costs consist
of personnel costs, other outside professional services including legal, human resources, audit and accounting services, consulting and
pre-commercialization expenses, including selling and marketing costs as well attendance to various conferences. Personnel costs consist
of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation. We expect to continue to incur expenses to support our continued operations as a
public company, including expenses related to existing and future compliance with rules and regulations of the stock exchanges on which
our securities are now traded, insurance expenses, investor relations, audit fees, professional services and general overhead and administrative
costs.

 Foreign exchange gain (loss)

 The foreign exchange gain (loss) amount consists
of changes in the value of the Canadian Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar throughout the year.

 Liability-Based Awards

 Bonus right awards that include cash settlement
features are accounted for as liability-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Share Based Compensation.
The fair value of the bonus right awards is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is revalued on each reporting date,
based on the probability of the expected awards to vest, until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the bonus right awards
are recognized within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the vesting
period. Key assumptions in the calculation of the fair value of the bonus right awards include expected volatility, risk-free interest
rate, expected life, and fair value per award.

 Share Based Compensation

 Share-based compensation cost is recorded for
all option grants and awards of non-vested stock based on the grant date fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model and is recognized over the service period required for the award. We estimate the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management's best estimates
and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment.

 Expected Term — The expected term
of options represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method,
which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term.

 Expected Volatility — The Company
computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on its historical common stock trading prices.

 Risk-Free Interest Rate — The
Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent
remaining term.

 Expected Dividend — The Company
has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future,
and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.

 Interest income

 Interest income consists of interest earned on
our cash and cash equivalents.

 Grant revenue

 The Company received grant revenue from the Army
Medical Research and Material Command on June 5, 2023, for a pre-clinical study on the use of the ALPHA-1062 Intranasal to reduce
blast of mTBI induced functional deficit and brain abnormalities. All funds relating to government grants are being recorded under the
gross method of accounting for government grants whereby any income received and associated expenses incurred will be reported as grant
income and included in research and development expenses, respectively on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. When grant
proceeds are initially received, they are recorded as deferred income and restricted cash. Grant proceeds used to pay for study costs
and are expensed as incurred, with a corresponding amount of grant revenue recorded along with a reduction of the balance of the deferred
income liability. The Company classifies the balance of cash received from grants as restricted cash, when the proceeds from the grant
have been designated for use in specified research. During the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded
grant income of $463,881 and $191,087, respectively, from its R&D Grant in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss.

 Interest expense

 Interest expense relates primarily to the interest
paid on the Neurodyn Life Sciences Inc. ("NLS") promissory note. Effective April 1, 2024, the Company and NLS agreed to another
amendment to the promissory note pursuant to which the interest rate was increased from 5.5% to 7% and the maturity date was extended
from July 2024 to July 2025. Additionally, $300,000 was paid on December 31, 2024, with the remaining principal balance due at maturity.
The balance was repaid in full on January 29, 2025.

 Change in fair value of derivatives

 The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities
consists of the Company's revaluation of their liability classified warrants that have an exercise price in USD, recognition and
revaluation of the conversion feature and warrant liabilities from the convertible debentures and warrants issued to agent. The Company
uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period.
This model requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and term of
the warrant. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings (loss) and
equity.

 Currency translation adjustment

 For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial
statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's CAD operations are translated to USD at the exchange rate on the reporting
date. The income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates. Foreign currency differences that arise on translation for
consolidated purposes are recognized in other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 General and administrative expenses costs consist
of personnel costs, consulting fees, other outside professional services including legal, human resources, audit and accounting services,
and pre-commercialization expenses, including selling and marketing costs as well attendance to various conferences. Personnel costs consist
of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation. We expect to continue to incur expenses to support our continued operations as a
public company, including expenses related to existing and future compliance with rules and regulations of the stock exchanges on which
our securities are traded, insurance expenses, investor relations, audit fees, professional services and general overhead and administrative
costs.

 Comparison of General and Administrative Expenses for the Three Months
ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

 General and administrative expenses increased
by $191,586 or 15%, from $1,309,958 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, to $1,501,544, for the three months ended

higher in the three months ended December 31, 2024, in support of the Company's US IPO filing and expansion of the business operating
support. Share-based compensation was lower primarily due to fluctuations in the Company stock price and accounting for equity awards
that were issued after December 31, 2023. The following table depicts the fluctuation in the general and administrative accounts:

 Foreign Exchange (Loss) Gain

 The foreign exchange (loss) gain amount consists
of changes in the value of the Canadian Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar throughout the year.

 The foreign exchange gain (loss) changes by $21,413,
or 158%, from a loss of $13,512 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, to a loss of $7,901 for the three months ended December
31, 2024. The foreign exchange loss increased by $47,357, or 479%, from a gain of $9,928 as of December 31, 2023, to a loss of $37,609
as of December 31, 2024, due primarily to the fluctuations in exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar. This
variance is largely due to the Company changing its functional currency from the CAD to the USD on August 31, 2023, therefore having
less transactions needing to be denominated in a foreign currency. The change in mix and balance of the Company's assets and liabilities
over the periods also impacted the changes in foreign currency exchange (loss) gain.

 Interest Income

 Interest income consists of interest earned on the Company's
cash.

 Interest income increased $143,7730, or 8,239%,
from $1,745 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, to $145,518 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Interest income increased
$154,860, or 2,276%, from $6,804 for the year ended December 30, 2023, to $161,664 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 Grant Income

 The Company received grant revenue from the Army Medical Research and
Material Command on June 5, 2023, for a pre-clinical study on the use of the ALPHA-1062 Intranasal to reduce blast of mTBI induced
functional deficit and brain abnormalities. During the three months ended December 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded grant income
of $130,419 and $227,746, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded grant income of $463,881
and $191,087, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded grant income from the federal wage
tax credits refund relating to subcontractor costs of $0 and $69,416, respectively.

 Interest Expense

 Interest expense increased $59,621, or 1704%,
from $3,499 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, to $63,120 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Interest expense increased
$87,757, or 501%, from $17,516 for the year months ended December 31, 2023, to $105,273 for the year ended December 31, 2024, following
the increase in interest rates on the NLS note which occurred in 2023 and interest on convertible debentures prior to conversion to shares
. Interest expense relates primarily to the interest paid on the NLS promissory note and the accrued interest for the convertible debentures.

 Impairment of Intangible Assets

 During the three months and year ended December
31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $0 and $39,166, respectively, from the impairment of the ALPHA-0602
license as the Company decided to discontinue development of the ALPHA-602 technology, no impairments were reported in the comparable
2023 periods.

 Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities and
Conversion of Convertible Debt

 The Company used the Monte Carlo Simulation to
determine the fair value of the conversion feature liability and warrants liability for recognition and subsequent conversion of the convertible
debentures. The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of stock options, standalone share purchase
warrants issued and derivative liability. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected share price volatility,
interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's
earnings (loss) and equity reserves.

 The loss of $3,323,540 for the three months ended
December 31, 2024 for the fair value of the warrant liabilities was a net change of $229,315, or 6%, compared to a loss of $3,552,855
for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The loss of $3,164,707 for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the fair value of the warrant
liabilities was a net change of $920,577, or 23%, compared to a loss of $4,085,284 for the year ended December 3, 2023. The change was
primarily due to the recognition and revaluation the conversion feature liability, fluctuation in the Company's stock price as
well as the volatility of the financial markets, coupled with the addition of new warrants issued during the first quarter of 2023 which
were priced differently that the Company's functional currency at the time of issuance and new warrants issued during the third
quarter of 2024 which have a variable exercise price.

 Provision for Loan Losses

 The Company recorded a provision for loan losses
of $55,000 relating to its loan to Alpha Seven during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, following a delay in Alpha Seven's
initial capital raise and therefore potential inability to repay the loan when due.

 Currency Translation Adjustment

 For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial
statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's CAD operations were translated to USD at the exchange rate on the reporting
date. The income and expenses were translated using average exchange rates. Foreign currency differences that arise on translation for
consolidated purposes are recognized in other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 The currency translation adjustment was $(19,573)
for December 31, 2023, compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change is due to the Company changing its functional
currency from the CAD to the USD on August 31, 2023, resulting in no currency translation adjustment being required after August 31,
2023.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 Sources of Liquidity

 The Company does not have operating revenue to
finance its existing obligations and therefore must continue to rely on external financing to generate capital to maintain its capacity
to meet working capital requirements. The Company has relied on debt and equity raises to finance its operating activities since incorporation.
The Company expects to continue to rely on debt and the issuance of shares, and possibly other non-dilutive financing options to finance
its ongoing operations and plans for commercialization of ZUNVEYL. However, there is a risk that additional financing will not be available
on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company.

 Future Funding Requirements

 We expect our expenses to increase substantially
in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the commercialization of ZUNVEYL, following the FDA's approval
in July 2024 and potentially seek to discover and develop additional product candidates, conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials
and preclinical studies, continue our R&D activities, utilize third parties to manufacture ZUNVEYL, hire additional personnel, expand
and protect our intellectual property, and incur additional costs associated with being a public company.

 Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted
by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses, and prepaid
expenses. The timing and amount of our funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 the initiation, type, number, scope, progress, expansions, results, costs and timing of clinical trials and preclinical studies of ZUNVEYL and any future product candidates we may choose to pursue, including the costs of modification to clinical development plans based on feedback that we may receive from regulatory authorities and any third-party products used as combination agents in our clinical trials;

 the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory meetings and reviews of ZUNVEYL or any future product candidates, including requirements of regulatory authorities in any additional jurisdictions in which we may seek approval for ZUNVEYL and any future product candidates;

 the costs of obtaining, maintaining, enforcing and protecting our patents and other intellectual property and proprietary rights;

 our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel to satisfy our obligations as a public company, including enhanced internal control over financial reporting;

 the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our business grows, including additional executive officers and clinical development, regulatory, CMC quality and commercial personnel;

 the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities of any future product candidate approval;

 our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage, and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products;

 our ability and strategic decision to develop future product candidates other than ZUNVEYL, and the timing of such development, if any;

 patients' willingness to pay out-of-pocket for any approved products in the absence of coverage and/or adequate reimbursement from third-party payors;

 the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements; and

 costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire.

 Based upon our current operating plan, we estimate
that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the date of this filing, will be sufficient to fund our projected
base ongoing operating expenses, the initial costs to prepare for commercialization of ZUNVEYL in AD, planned CMC costs, ongoing operating
costs and capital expenditures through at least the next 24 months. We expect to look to raise additional capital to continue to
further advance our commercialization plans and ongoing operating costs. However, we have based our estimates on assumptions that may
prove to be wrong, and our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us. In addition, we could utilize
our available capital resources sooner than we expected. The Company is also contemplating raising additional capital by pursuing
both dilutive and non-dilutive strategic sources of capital; to fully execute its commercial and operating plans following receipt of
the NDA approval for ZUNVEYL from the FDA. Any additional capital would further support our planned costs to begin commercial activities
including launching U.S. sales of ZUNVEYL in AD.

 We have no other committed sources of capital.
Until such time, if ever, we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through equity offerings, debt
financings, or other capital sources, including current or potential future collaborations, licenses, royalties and other similar arrangements.
We do not know what the terms of these future financings will be and whether they will be acceptable to the us or not and, therefore,
we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent
we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the
terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Debt
financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability
to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions, engaging in acquisition, merger or collaboration transactions,
selling or licensing our assets, making capital expenditures, redeeming our stock, making certain investments or declaring dividends.
If we raise additional funds through collaborations or license agreements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights
to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable
to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce
or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that
we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, or even cease operations.

 Financing Activities

 Recent capital raising activities

 During the third quarter of 2022 the Company initiated
cost cutting measures to extend its cash runway and reduce ongoing cash burn. The Company streamlined R&D programs and has prioritized
spend towards the NDA filing and development of ALPHA-1062 in AD. The Company has reduced headcount and other operating costs related
to the ZUNVEYL NDA file and other development costs. The Company has lowered its near-term operating burn until additional capital can
be secured. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to further delay or reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of
our current research and development. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
or financial condition.

 During the first quarter of 2023 the Company completed
the brokered private placement by issuing 949,906 units at a price of CAD$6.38 for total proceeds of $4,506,055 (CAD$6,055,650) with each
unit consisting of one Common share and one warrant exercisable at a price of CAD$9.75 per warrant for a term of 5 years from the closing
date ("Q1 2023 PP").

 In March 2023, the Company entered into an
amendment of the Promissory Note and License Agreement with the NLS promissory note holders to extend the maturity of the $1.2M outstanding
promissory note to July 15, 2024, the previous maturity date of the promissory note was December 31, 2022. The parties also
agreed to increase the Promissory Note interest rate from 2% annually to a market rate of 5.5% annually. (see Note 7 of the accompanying
audited financial statements).

 On May 30, 2023, the Company announced a
best-efforts private placement offering of up to $6,500,000 of units at the initial pricing of $5.50 per unit ("Q2 2023 PP").
Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional
common share of the Company at the initial pricing of $7.75 per share for a period of three years from the closing date. The aggregate
proceeds may be increased by 30% to accommodate any overallotment. The Company also announced that it entered into an Investment Banking
Agreement ("IBA") with Spartan Securities LLC ("Spartan") pursuant to which Spartan will act as agent on a best-efforts
basis in connection with the Q2 2023 PP. In accordance with the Q2 2023 PP, the Company has agreed to pay Spartan cash commissions
of 10% of the gross proceeds, issue Spartan finder's warrants equal to 10% of the number of the warrants issued to investors, in
each case excluding investors on the Company's president's list and pay Spartan a non-accountable expense fee equal to 5%
of the gross proceeds of the Q2 2023 PP excluding the president's list.

 On November 8, 2023, the Company also paid a consulting fee of US$160,000 pursuant to the Spartan Consulting Agreement. In January 2024 the Company also paid a consulting fee of US$320,000 and issued 582,331 common shares to Spartan pursuant to a consulting agreement. The Company also paid to certain finders aggregate cash commission of US$48,858, being 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the offering from investors introduced to the Company by such finders.

 On September 24, 2024, the Company announced
the closing of a $4.545 million bridge financing through the issuance of convertible notes and warrants led by existing investors
and select new investors comprised of institutional funds and high-net-worth accredited investors.

 The notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $10.55 per share. The notes were set to mature on September 24, 2026, had an aggregate face value of $4.545 million and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum paid in common shares of the Company at the conversion price, subject to certain limitations. The notes were subject to mandatory conversion into common shares of the Company in conjunction with the closing of an offering of securities of the Company for at least $10 million in aggregate gross proceeds in coordination with the simultaneous uplisting of the common shares of the Company onto a United States national securities exchange (a "Qualified Offering"). Such conversion was completed into the securities offered in such Qualified Offering at the lower of (i) the conversion price in effect at such time and (ii) the offering price of the securities in the Qualified Offering. The notes were unsecured and rank senior to the Company's other indebtedness.

 The notes were sold along with warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $10.55 for a five-year term. Each investor received warrants sufficient to purchase such number of common shares equal to the principal amount of notes such investor purchased divided by the conversion price of the notes. Each investor will receive an additional 50% of warrants with identical terms upon the closing of a Qualified Offering, as described above. The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment upon the completion of a Qualified Offering to the lower of (i) the then existing exercise price, (ii) the exercise price of any common share purchase warrants issued in the Qualified Offering or (iii) if no common share purchase warrants are issued in the Qualified Offering, the closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (as converted into U.S. dollars) immediately prior to the pricing news release of the Qualified Offering.

 On November 13, 2024, the Company completed a
public offering of common shares by issuing 8,695,653 common shares at a public offering price of $5.75 per share for gross proceeds of
approximately $50 million. In connection with the US public offering, the Company's Common Shares began trading on The Nasdaq Capital
Market on November 12, 2024.

 The completion of the public offering of common
shares was a "Qualified Offering" under the Company's convertible notes, which automatically converted into 801,413
common shares at closing of the public offering at a price of $5.75 per share, being the public offering price in the Qualified Offering.
The amount converted consisted of the converted principal amount of convertible notes and interest through November 13, 2024.

 Additionally, as a result of the closing of the
Qualified Offering, the Company issued an additional 215,418 warrants exercisable to acquire 215,421 Common Shares with an exercise price
of $7.19 per share and the exercise price of the Company's existing 430,835 warrants issued in connection with the offering of the
convertible notes was repriced from $10.55 per share to $7.19 per share.

 On December 12, 2024, the underwriter of the Company's underwritten
U.S. public offering partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 488,506 common shares at the public offering
price of $5.75 per share for additional gross proceeds of $2.8 million.

 Cash used in operating activities

 Cash used in operating activities decreased by
$1,043,911 to $7,755,654 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $8,799,565 for the comparative period. The change in cash flows from
operating activities represents the effect on cash flows from net losses adjusted for items not affecting cash, principally amortization
and depreciation, accretion on convertible debentures, accrued expenditures for government grant, share-based compensation, impairment
of intangible assets, provision for loan losses, shares issued for services, changes in the value of conversion feature liability and
warrant liabilities, and bonus rights liability, in addition to net changes in non-cash balances related to working capital items.

 Cash used in investing activities

 Cash used in investing activities increased by
$26,701 to $26,701 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $nil compared to the comparative period. During the year ended December 31,
2024, investing activities consisted of acquiring equipment.

 Cash provided by financing activities

 Cash provided by financing activities for the
year ended December 31, 2024, increased by $46,621,849 compared to the comparative period. During the year ended December 31, 2024, financing
activities primarily consisted of raising proceeds of $3,732,469 from units issued for cash, raising proceeds of $4,545,000 from the issuance
of convertible debentures, raising proceeds of $52,808,915 from shares issued from the US listing, $300,000 from the exercise of warrants,
and receiving $373,825 in government grant proceeds offset by $466,366 of related grant expenses. The funds raised under financing activities
were offset by share issuance costs of $5,740,824 and debt issuance costs of $459,360. During the three months ended December 31, 2024,
the Company made a principal payment of $300,000 on the promissory note.

 Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

 In the normal course of business, we enter into
agreements with contract service providers to assist in the performance of R&D and clinical and commercial manufacturing activities.
We currently have two license agreements, ALPHA-1062 technology and ALPHA-602 technology, which are outlined below. We expect to enter
into additional clinical development, contract research, clinical and commercial manufacturing, supplier, and collaborative research agreements
in the future, which may require upfront payments and long-term commitments of capital resources.

 See "Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies"
of the accompanying financial statements for a discussion of our contractual obligations and long-term commitments.

 Contingencies

 The Company did not have any contingencies as
of December 31, 2024, or the date of this report.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 Our management's discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with US GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other
factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical
and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates.

 Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including valuing equity securities
in share-based payment arrangements, estimating the fair value of financial instruments recorded as a warrant liability, useful lives
of depreciable assets and definite lived intangible assets, and whether impairment charges may apply, and the determination of whether
an asset constitutes a business a business combination or asset acquisition. Management bases these estimates on historical and anticipated
results, trends, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions
as to forecasted amounts and future events. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.

 Functional Currency

 The functional currency of an entity is the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Effective August 31, 2023, the functional currency of the Company
was updated to the United States Dollar ("USD" or U.S. Dollar") as management assessed that the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the Company operates changed to USD on that date. The key factor influencing this decision was
the change in the Company's primary funding from Canadian dollars ("CAD") to USD, whereas the functional currency of
its subsidiaries was unchanged and remain in USD. Prior to USD the functional currency of the Company was CAD, and its subsidiaries
was USD. Changes to the Company's functional currency have been accounted for on a prospective basis from August 31, 2023.
The determination of functional currency was made in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting
Standard Codification ("ASC") 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

 The Company's reporting currency is the
USD. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's CAD operations
are translated to USD at the exchange rate on the reporting date. The income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates.
Foreign currency differences that arise on translation for consolidated purposes are recognized in other comprehensive loss on the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

 Grant Accounting

 All funds relating to government grants are being
recorded under the gross method of accounting for government grants whereby any income received and associated expenses incurred will
be reported as grant income and included in research and development expenses, respectively on the statement of comprehensive loss. When
grant proceeds are initially received, they are recorded as deferred income and restricted cash. Grant proceeds are then used to pay for
study costs and are expensed, the Company will also record a corresponding amount to grant revenue and reduce the balance of the deferred
income liability.

 On June 5, 2023, the Company was awarded
a $750,000 research and development grant from the Army Medical Research and Material Command for a pre-clinical study on the use of the
ALPHA-1062IN (Intranasal) to reduce blast mTBI (mild Traumatic Brain Injury) induced functional deficit and brain abnormalities ('R&D
Grant"). The grant funds are to be used on the following project " Assessment of Functional Recovery and Reduced Tauopathy
Following ALPHA-1062 Administration in a Repetitive Blast TBI Model in Rodents." The R&D Grant is issued in collaboration
with the Seattle Institute of Biomedical and Clinical Research and endorsed by the Department of Defense. Funds received from the R&D
grant are restricted and to be used solely as outlined in the grant. The R&D grant funding will expire for use on September 30,
2028. The award funding is to subsidized the costs for research and development with the following specific Aims:

 Specific Aim 1: Quantify the ability of ALPHA-1062 to reduce brain-wide tauopathy and pathology in blast-mTBI;

 Specific Aim 2: Characterize and quantify changes in the inter-cellular associations between disease-associated microglia and cells of the basal forebrain induced by repetitive blast-mTBI and altered by ALPHA-1062 treatment; Specific Aim 3: Determine the efficacy of ALPHA-1062 to improve the adverse cognitive and behavioral outcomes consequent to repetitive blast-mTBI.

 Per the R&G Grant budget expenses are expected
to include cost to carry out the clinical trials including personnel costs, materials and supplies, animal housing, publications, and
travel costs. The Company classifies any cash received from the R&D Grant that has not yet been used to pay ongoing R&D grant
expenditures as restricted cash, as the proceeds from the grant are to be designated for the specified grant research.

 Fair Value Measurements

 Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 Level 1 — defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable;

 Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable.

 The Company's financial instruments consist
of cash, restricted cash, prepaid and other current assets, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, warrant liability,
promissory note, and other liabilities.

 Share Based Compensation

 Share-based compensation cost is recorded for
all option grants and awards of non-vested stock based on the grant date fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model and is recognized over the service period required for the award. We estimate the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management's best estimates
and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment.

 Expected Term — The
expected term of options represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding based on the
simplified method, which is the half-life from vesting to the end of its contractual term.

 Expected Volatility — The
Company computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on its historical common stock trading prices.

 Risk-Free Interest Rate — The
Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U. S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent
remaining term.

 Expected Dividend — The
Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common shares and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable
future, and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in its valuation models.

 Liability-Based Awards

 Bonus right awards that include cash settlement
features are accounted for as liability-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation.
The fair value of the bonus right awards is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is revalued on each reporting date,
based on the probability of the expected awards to vest, until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the bonus right awards
are recognized within general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Key assumptions
in the calculation of the fair value of the bonus right awards include expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and
fair value per award.

 Research and Development Costs

 Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred unless there is an alternate future use in other research and development projects or otherwise. Research and development costs
include salaries and benefits, share-based compensation expense, management fees and salaries, research costs, travel costs and other
consulting services. We expect our research and development expenses will increase as we progress our product candidates into later stage
clinical trials, add to the number of ongoing clinical trials, advance our discovery research projects into the pre-clinical stage, continue
our early-stage research, and prepare for the commercialization of our product candidates. The process of conducting research, identifying
potential product candidates, and conducting pre-clinical and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval and commencing pre-commercialization
activities is costly and time intensive. We may never succeed in achieving marketing approval for our product candidates regardless of
our costs and efforts. The probability of success of our product candidates may be affected by numerous factors, including pre-clinical
data, clinical data, competition, manufacturing capability, our cost of goods to be sold, our ability to receive, and the timing of, regulatory
approvals, market conditions, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products if they are approved for marketing. As a result,
we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will
generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our product candidates. Our research and development programs are subject
to change from time to time as we evaluate our priorities and available resources.

 Going concern

 We continue to assess the ability to continue
as a going concern, which involves management judgement and analysis of resources and prospects. The Company has reported negative cash
flow from operating activities since inception and expects to experience negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The
Company has not generated revenues from its operations to date and as of December 31, 2024, had a deficit of $76,285,038 (December 31,
2023 - $61,648,173) which has been primarily financed by equity. The Company had $48,564,082 in cash and restricted cash and $3,350,752
in current liabilities (of which $97,515 is payable from the Company's available restricted cash balance) as of December 31, 2024.
The Company's continuing operations, as intended, are highly dependent upon its ability to obtain additional funding and generate
cash flows. Based upon our current operating plan and our closing of our public offering of common shares for approximately $46.42 million
in net proceeds on November 13, 2024, we estimate that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of the date of
this filing would be sufficient to fund our projected base ongoing operating expenses, the initial costs to prepare for commercialization
of ZUNVEYL in AD, planned CMC costs, ongoing operating costs and capital expenditures through at least the next 12 months from the
date of this Form 10-K. However, we may look to raise additional capital to continue to further advance our commercialization plans, R&D
pipeline, and ongoing operating costs through a debt or equity financing in the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form
10-K. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and our operating plan may change as a result of many factors
currently unknown to us. In addition, we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expected. The Company is also
contemplating raising additional capital by pursuing both dilutive and non-dilutive strategic sources of capital; to fully execute its
commercial and operating plans following receipt of the NDA approval for ZUNVEYL from the FDA. Any additional capital would further support
our planned costs to begin commercial activities including launching U.S. sales of ZUNVEYL in AD.

 The Company has maintained the cost cutting measures
it initiated in the third quarter of 2022 to extend its cash runway and reduce ongoing cash burn. The Company focus has been to streamline
R&D programs and has prioritized spend towards the NDA filing and development of ALPHA-1062 in AD. The Company reduced headcount
and other operating costs to focus spending on the ALPHA-1062 NDA file and other related development costs. The Company expects to continue
to operate under the lower operating burn until further additional capital can be secured. If we are unable to raise adequate funds,
we may have to further delay or reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of our operating and commercialization plans and product
development. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 Income taxes

 In assessing the probability of realizing income
tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing
of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable
tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively
verified.

 Impairment of intangible assets

 The application of the Company's accounting
policy for intangible assets requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company
and whether any impairment indicators exist, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions
may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditures are capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that
the recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the period the new information becomes
available.

 Useful lives of intangible assets

 Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis
based upon management's estimate of the useful life and residual value. The estimates are reviewed at least annually and are updated
if expectations change as a result of technical obsolescence or legal and other limits to use.

 Valuation of debt modification

 The Company calculated the debt modification using
the net present value of cash flows approach. This approach requires the input of subjective assumptions including the Company's
borrowing rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings (loss).

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06,
Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity's
Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, which is intended
to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments
and contracts on an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning after December 15,
2023. There was no material impact of this new guidance on the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 Emerging Growth Company Status and Smaller
Reporting Company Status

 We are an emerging growth company, as defined
in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply
with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves 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, we can adopt the new or revised
standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and may do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably
elect to opt out of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We may choose to early

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
Alpha Cognition Inc.

 Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Alpha Cognition Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then
ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

 In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

 Basis for Opinion

 These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated 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 consolidated
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 consolidated 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
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 Alpha Cognition Inc. ("ACI" or the
"Company") is a commercial stage, biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing treatments for patients suffering from
neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Impairment with Traumatic Brain Injury ("TBI"),
for which there are limited or no treatment options. The registered and records office of the Company is 1200 – 750 West Pender
Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T8. As of November 12, 2024, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange
under the symbol "ACOG". The Company's common shares traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE")
under the symbol "ACOG" from May 1, 2023 to December 17, 2024 on which date they were voluntarily delisted. Previously the
Company's shares were traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") until April 28, 2023, when the Company had them delisted.
The Company's shares also traded on the Over-The-Counter Markets ("OTC") under the trading symbol "ACOGF"
until they were listed on the NASDAQ.

 On July 29, 2024, the Company was granted approval
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the commercialization of ZUNVEYL, previously known as ALPHA-1062, for the treatment
of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.

 On November 5, 2024, the Company completed a reverse
stock split on the ratio of one share issued for every previously issued and outstanding twenty-five shares. All current and comparative
references to the number and price per share for common shares, preferred shares, options, warrants, ACI Canada legacy performance options
and weighted average number of shares, loss per share, have been restated to give effect to this reverse stock split.

 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Basis of Presentation – The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted
in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP")

 Principles of Consolidation –
 These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Alpha Cognition Canada Inc.
("ACI Canada") and ACI Canada's wholly owned subsidiary Alpha Cognition USA Inc. ("ACI USA").

 All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 Functional and Reporting Currency –
 The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Effective August
31, 2023, the functional currency of the Company was changed to the United States Dollar ("USD" or U.S. Dollar") from
Canadian Dollars ("CAD") as management assessed that the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company
operates changed to USD on that date. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries in USD. Changes to the Company's
functional currency have been accounted for on a prospective basis from August 31, 2023. The determination of functional currency was
made in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC")
830, Foreign Currency Matters.

 F- 8

 The Company's reporting currency is the
USD. All amounts presented are in USD unless otherwise denoted. Prior to August 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the Company's
CAD operations were translated to USD at the exchange rate on the reporting date. The income and expenses are translated using average
exchange rates. Foreign currency differences that arise on translation for consolidated purposes were recognized in other comprehensive
loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 Use of Estimates and Assumptions –
 The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates
its estimates, to ensure that those estimates effectively reflect changes in the Company's business and new information as it becomes
available. Management bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that the Company
believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to forecasted amounts and future events. Actual results could
differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 Concentrations of Credit Risk –
 The Company's financial instruments subject to concentrations of credit risk consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
Cash is deposited with financial institutions with high credit quality which are typically in excess of insured limits. Additionally,
as of December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 69,387 (December 31, 2023 - $ 475,567) in cash held at its payment processing company in a demand
account to be used to pay accounts payable. During the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not experience any loss
related to these concentrations.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents –
 The Company considers cash to include currency on hand, demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions, and other kinds
of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Company may deposit additional funds at any time and
also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. The Company considers cash equivalents to include term
deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 Inventory – The Company values
its inventories at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of its inventories, which includes
amounts related to materials and manufacturing overhead, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company classifies inventory as long-term
when consumption or sale of the inventory is expected beyond its normal operating cycle of twelve months. The Company performs an assessment
of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period, and it writes down any excess and obsolete inventories to
their estimated realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Such impairment charges, should they occur,
are recorded within cost of sales. The determination of whether inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by management. If
actual market conditions are less favorable than projected by management, additional write-downs of inventory may be required which would
be recorded as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

 The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated
with the Company's products after regulatory approval when, based on management's judgment, future commercialization is considered
probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized. Inventory acquired prior to receipt of regulatory approval of a product
candidate is expensed as research and development expense as incurred. The Company began to capitalize inventory costs upon receipt of
regulatory approval in July 2024. Raw materials consist of materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, to be consumed in production
of inventory related to FDA approved products.

 Equipment – Equipment is stated
at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying
amount and are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation
is charged over the estimated useful lives using the declining balance method as follows:

 Computer equipment

 %

 Other equipment

 %

 Construction in progress

 Not depreciated

 F- 9

 Intangible Assets – The
Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company's
intangible assets consist of exclusive licenses that allow the Company to further develop and exploit the ALPHA-1062 and ALPHA-0602 Technology,
as defined in Note 13. The licenses are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 15
years. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company impaired the ALPHA-0602 licenses in the amount of $ 39,166 on the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 Leases – The Company accounts
for leases using FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term
leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The lease payments associated with these leases are charged directly to the consolidated
statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company had no leases outstanding during the year ended December
31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, all the Company's leases were considered short-term with leases with a term of
 12 months or less and are charged directly to the consolidated operations.

 Impairment of Long-Lived and Non-Financial
Assets – The Company reviews long-lived assets, primarily comprised of equipment and definite life intangible assets,
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds
the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset and whether any impairment indicators exist. The Company recorded
an impairment of intangible assets of $ 39,166 and $ nil for the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 Income Taxes – The
Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated
financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, tax loss and credit carry forwards.

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates applied 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 the period that include the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 The Company recognizes the effect of income tax
positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest
amount that is greater than a 50 % likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which
the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
To date, there have been no interest or penalties recorded in relation to unrecognized tax benefits.

 Research and Development Costs –
The Company expenses all research and development costs incurred in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codifications as promulgated
by FASB ASC 730, Research and Development.

 Advertising and Marketing Costs –
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs when incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred
advertising and marketing expenses of $ 97,535 and $ 19,791, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 Loss Per Share – Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to ordinary stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the reporting period. If applicable, diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the weighted
average shares outstanding are increased to include potential common shares for the assumed conversion of convertible debentures and the
exercise of share options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of potential common shares is calculated by assuming outstanding share
options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market
price during the reporting periods. For the periods presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

 F- 10

 Share-Based Compensation – The
Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Share-Based Compensation, which
requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of share-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The
Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The fair value of share-based awards, granted or modified, is determined on the grant
date (or modification or acquisition dates, if applicable) at fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model is
affected by the Company's share price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables
include, but are not limited to, the Company's expected share price volatility over the terms of the awards, and actual and projected
employee share option exercise behaviors. The Company records share-based compensation expense for service-based share options on an accelerated
attributions method over the requisite service period. The Company records share-based compensation expense for performance-based share
options on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, and only if performance-based conditions are considered
probable to be satisfied.

 The fair value of options is determined using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to
vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration
for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

 Liability-Based Awards – Bonus
right awards that include cash settlement features are accounted for as liability-based awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation
– Share Based Compensation. The fair value of the bonus right awards is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model
and is revalued on each reporting date, based on the probability of the expected awards to vest, until settlement. Changes in the estimated
fair value of the bonus right awards are recognized within general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated
statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the vesting period. Key assumptions in the calculation of the fair value of the bonus
right awards include expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and fair value per award.

 Segment Reporting – The Company
currently operates in researching and developing pharmaceutical treatments for neurological diseases industry. Based on the guidance of
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has one operating segment. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company
operated in two geographical area: the United States and Canada.

 Convertible Debentures and Conversion Feature
Liability – The Company's debt instruments contain a host liability and an embedded conversion feature. The
Company uses the guidance under FASB ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") to determine if the embedded
conversion feature must be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815. It also determines whether any embedded
conversion features requiring bifurcation qualify for any scope exceptions contained within ASC 815. Generally, contracts issued or held
by a reporting entity that are both (i) indexed to its own shares, and (ii) classified in stockholders' equity, would not be considered
a derivative for the purposes of applying ASC 815. Any embedded conversion features that do not meet the scope exception noted above are
classified as derivative liabilities, initially measured at fair value, and remeasured at fair value each reporting period with change
in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Any embedded conversion features that meet
the scope exception under ASC 815 are initially recorded at their relative fair value in paid-in-capital and are not remeasured at fair
value in future periods.

 Any embedded conversion features that do not meet
the scope exception under ASC 815 are initially recorded at their fair value and the residual amount of the proceeds received is allocated
to the convertible debentures. The host debt instrument is accounted for in accordance with guidance applicable to non-convertible debt
under FASB ASC Topic 470 Debt ("ASC 470") and is accreted to its face value over the term of the debt with accretion expense
and periodic interest expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 The Company uses the Monte Carlo Simulation method
to determine the fair value of the conversion feature liability and warrant liability. This requires the input of subjective assumptions
including the following:

 Risk-Free Interest Rate –
 The risk-free interest rate is the continuously compounded, term matching based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon rate from the valuation
date.

 Expected Life – The Company's
expected term represents the period that the Company's convertible debentures are issued and are expected to be outstanding or the
remaining contractual life of the conversion period and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the
vesting date and the end of the contractual term).

 Expected Volatility – The
Company's expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly traded biopharmaceutical companies
over a period equal to the expected term of the awards.

 Probability – The probability
is based on management's best estimate of based on the relevant information available.

 Changes in the input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings (loss) and equity.

 F- 11

 Derivative liability – The
Company recognizes and measures derivative financial instruments in according with ASC 815, Derivatives and Heding, which requires that
all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivative instruments are classified as either assets or
liabilities.

 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
model to determine the fair value of the warrant liability, share-based options, and stand-alone share purchase warrants issued as noted
above. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions including the following:

 Risk-Free Interest Rate –
 The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon bond issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding
with the expected term of option.

 Dividend Yield – The Company
has never paid dividends on its common shares and has no plans to pay dividends on its common shares. Therefore, the Company used an expected
dividend yield of zero.

 Expected Life – The Company's
expected term represents the period that the Company's options granted are expected to be outstanding or the remaining contractual
life of the conversion period and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end
of the contractual term).

 Expected Volatility – The
Company's expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly traded biopharmaceutical companies
over a period equal to the expected term of the awards.

 Changes in the input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate and the Company's earnings (loss) and equity.

 Fair Value Measurements - FASB ASC
820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under
U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, we have categorized our financial assets
and liabilities based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below.
If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 Financial assets and liabilities recorded in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

 Level 1 – Financial instruments
whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market which we have the ability to
access at the measurement date.

 Level 2 – Financial instruments
whose values are based on quoted market prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted
prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets.

 Level 3 – Financial instruments
whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the
overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would
use in pricing the instrument.

 The Company's financial instruments consist
of cash, restricted cash, related party promissory note receivable, accounts payable, warrant liabilities, other liabilities and promissory
note. The fair values of inventory, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and promissory note approximate their carrying
values either due to their current nature or current market rates for similar instruments.

 Cash is measured at fair value on a recurring
basis using level 1 inputs. Other liabilities consisting of the bonus rights liability and warrant liabilities are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis using level 3 inputs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the bonus rights liability was $ 102,783
and $ 84,125, respectively. As of December 30, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the warrant liabilities was $ 5,820,358 and $ 4,455,747,
respectively.

 Interest Rate Risk – Interest
rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest
rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to interest rate cash flow risk. The Company does
not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with fixed interest rates expose the
Company to interest rate price risk. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the promissory note bears interest of 7.0 % and 5.5 % per annum,
respectively, and is subject to interest rate price risk. The Company maintains bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates, but
it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.

 F- 12

 Currency Risk – Foreign currency
exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company's operations are carried out in Canada and the United States. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had net
monetary liabilities of approximately $ 154,000 and $ 36,000, respectively, denominated in Canadian dollars.

 These factors expose the Company to foreign currency
exchange rate risk, which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Company. A 10 % change in the exchange rate with the
Canadian dollar would change net loss and comprehensive loss by approximately $ 10,700. At this time, the Company currently does not have
plans to enter into foreign currency future contracts to mitigate this risk; however, it may do so in the future.

 Grant Accounting – All funds
relating to government grants are being recorded under the gross method of accounting for government grants whereby any income received
and associated expenses incurred will be reported as grant income and included in research and development expenses, respectively on the
statement of operations and comprehensive loss. When grant proceeds are initially received, they are recorded as deferred income and restricted
cash. Grant proceeds used to pay for study costs and are expensed as incurred, with a corresponding amount of grant revenue recorded along
with a reduction of the balance of the deferred income liability. The Company classifies the balance of cash received from grants as restricted
cash when the proceeds from the grant have been designated for use in specified research. During the year ending December 31, 2024 and
2023, the Company recorded grant income of $ 463,811 and $ 191,087, respectively, from its R&D Grant (defined in Note 3) and $ 0 and
$ 69,416, respectively, from the federal wage tax credits refund relating to subcontractor costs included in research and development in
the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 New Accounting Pronouncements –

 In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt
with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, which is intended to simplify the accounting
for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an
entity's own equity. There was no material impact of this new guidance on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements in Income Tax Disclosures, which is to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income
tax disclosures. This amendment requires public companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional
information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, under the amendment entities are required to disclose
the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, as well as disaggregated by material individual jurisdictions.
Finally, the amendment requires entities to disclose income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between
domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The new rules are
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We will adopt this standard on a prospective basis as allowed by the standard.
The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

 In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income
Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This standard requires disclosure
in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, of specified information about certain costs and
expense including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant
expense caption. This standard also requires a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are
not separately disaggregated, as well as disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses, and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's
definition of selling expenses. This new rules are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this new standard will have
on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 NOTE 3 – R&D GRANT

 On June 5, 2023, the Company was awarded a $ 750,000
research and development grant from the Army Medical Research and Material Command for a pre-clinical study on the use of the ALPHA-1062
Intranasal to reduce blast mTBI (mild Traumatic Brain Injury) induced functional deficit and brain abnormalities ("R&D Grant").
The R&D Grant is issued in collaboration with the Seattle Institute of Biomedical and Clinical Research and endorsed by the Department
of Defense.

 As of December 31, 2024, the Company has received
$ 575,325 (December 31, 2023 - $ 201,500) for the R&D Grant and has restricted cash of $ 17,872 (December 31, 2023 - $ 90,413). As of
December 31, 2024, the Company has grant receivable of $ 79,643 (December 31, 2023 – deferred income of $ 10,413) and recognized $ 463,881
of grant income on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2024 (year ended December 31, 2023
- $ 191,087). Additionally, during the year December 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $ 463,881 (year ended December 31, 2023 - $ 191,087)
in expenses relating to the R&D Grant. The grant funds are to be used on the following project "Assessment of Functional Recovery
and Reduced Tauopathy Following ALPHA-1062 Administration in a Repetitive Blast TBI Model in Rodents." The R&D Grant is issued
in collaboration with the Seattle Institute of Biomedical and Clinical Research and endorsed by the Department of Defense. Funds received
from the R&D grant are restricted and to be used solely as outlined in the grant. The R&D grant funding will expire for use on
September 30, 2028. The award funding is to subsidize the costs for research and development with the following specific aims:

 Specific Aim 1: Quantify the
ability of ALPHA-1062 to reduce brain-wide tauopathy and pathology in blast-mTBI;

 Specific Aim 2: Characterize
and quantify changes in the inter-cellular associations between disease-associated microglia and cells of the basal forebrain induced
by repetitive blast-mTBI and altered by ALPHA-1062 treatment; and

 Specific Aim 3: Determine the
efficacy of ALPHA-1062 to improve the adverse cognitive and behavioral outcomes consequent to repetitive blast-mTBI.

 F- 13

 Per the R&D Grant budget expenses are expected
to include cost to carry out the clinical trials including personnel costs, materials and supplies, animal housing, publications, and
travel costs. The Company classifies any cash received from the R&D Grant that has not yet been used to pay ongoing R&D grant
expenditures as restricted cash, as the proceeds from the grant are to be designated for the specified grant research.

 NOTE 8 – PROMISSORY NOTE

 In March 2015, the Company issued a promissory
note of $ 1,400,000 to Neurodyn Life Sciences Inc ("NLS"), a related party through a common director, for the acquisition of
the ALPHA-1062 Technology ("NLS Promissory Note") (Note 10).

 On March 6, 2023, the Company and NLS agreed to
an amendment to the promissory note pursuant to which the interest rate was increased from 2 % to 5.5 % and the maturity date was extended
from December 31, 2022, to July 15, 2024. The amended agreement was effective March 1, 2023, and requires interest only payments until
maturity. In addition, the amendment now incorporates both Alpha Cognition Inc. and Alpha Cognition Canada, Inc. under the Memogain Technology
License Agreement and added clarity to certain terms and definitions under the license agreement. The Company evaluated the amended agreement
under ASC 470 and determined that the amendment should be accounted for as a debt modification prospectively. The Company accounted for
this transaction as a debt modification and did not record any gain or loss relating to the modification. The debt modification did not
meet the greater than ten percent test and was deemed not substantial.

 Effective April 1, 2024, the Company and NLS agreed to another amendment
to the promissory note pursuant to which the interest rate was increased from 5.5 % to 7 % and the maturity date was extended from July
15, 2024, to July 15, 2025. Additionally, $ 300,000 was to be paid on or by December 31, 2024 (paid), with the remaining principal balance
due at maturity with certain events triggering the balance to be repayable on demand. Such events include (1) being in breach of
the Memogain License Agreements (Note 12); (2) failure to make payments when due; (3) entering into a technology license or merger and
acquisition transaction having a value in excess of USD $ 40,000,000; and (4) completing a financing, excluding any initial NASDAQ uplisting,
having a value in excess of USD $ 40,000,000. The balance was repaid in full on January 29, 2025 (see Note 19 (d)). The Company evaluated
the amended agreement under ASC 470 and determined that the amendment should be accounted for as a debt modification prospectively. The
Company accounted for this transaction as a debt modification and did not record any gain or loss relating to the modification. The debt
modification did not meet the greater than ten percent test and was deemed not substantial.

 As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the principal
balance outstanding on the promissory note was $ 911,463 and $ 1,211,463, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023,
the Company recorded interest expense and amortization of the premium, included in accretion expense, of $ 80,504 and $ 59,777, respectively.

 2,646,843

 On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into Securities Purchase
Agreements ("SPAs") with various third party lenders for the issuance of convertible debentures ("Debentures")
and warrants to purchase 430,805 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $ 10.55 per share until September 24, 2029 ("Initial
Debenture Warrants") for $ 4,545,000.

 The Debentures bear interest at 10 % per annum, computed on the basis
of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months, and are due and payable with accrued interest thereon on September 24, 2026 ("Maturity
Date"). At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the holder had the option to convert their Debenture and any accrued interest into
common shares of the Company at a price of $ 10.55 ("Conversion Price"). Should the Company have completed a Qualified Offering,
being an offering of the Company's securities for at least $ 10 million in aggregate gross proceeds in coordination with the simultaneous
uplisting of the Company's common shares onto a United States national securities exchange, the Debentures will automatically convert
into the securities, including warrants, on the same terms as are applicable in the Qualified Offering at the lower of (i) the Conversion
Price or (ii) the per security offering price in the Qualified Offering. If prior to the Maturity Date or the completion of a Qualified
Offering, the last trading price of the Company's common shares exceed 250 % of the Conversion Price for 10 consecutive trading days,
the Debentures and accrued interest will automatically convert into common shares of the Company at the Conversion Price.

 Upon closing of a Qualified Offering, each Initial Debenture Warrant
holder will receive an additional 50 % of warrants ("Additional Debenture Warrant") with identical terms as the Initial Debenture
Warrants. The exercise price of the Initial Debenture Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the completion of a Qualified Offering to
the lower of (i) the existing Debenture Warrant exercise price, (ii) the exercise price of any common share purchase warrants issued in
the Qualified Offering, or (iii) if no common share purchase warrants are issued in the Qualified Offering, the closing price of the common
shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (as converted into U.S. dollars) immediately prior to the pricing news release of the Qualified
Offering.

 The holders of the Initial Debenture Warrants may elect, if the Company
does not have an effective registration statement registering or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of
the Initial Debenture Warrant shares to the holder, in lieu of exercising the Initial Debenture Warrants for cash, a cashless exercise
option to receive common shares equal to the fair value of the Initial Debenture Warrants. The fair value is determined by multiplying
the number of Initial Debenture Warrants to be exercised by, the option of the Debenture Holder, (i) the previous day's volume weighted
average price ("VWAP") of the common shares of the Company, (ii) the bid price of the common shares of the Company as of the
time of the execution of the exercise notice, or (iii) the closing price of the common shares on the date of the exercise notice ("Elected
Exercise Price") less the exercise price with the difference divided by the Elected Exercise Price. On October 16, 2024, the Company's
registration statement restricting the Initial Debenture Warrant holders ability to elect to cashless exercise their Initial Debenture
Warrants became effective.

 F- 17

 If a Qualified Offering occurs or Initial Debenture Warrant holder
elects to exercise on a cashless basis, there will be variability in the number of shares issued per Initial Debenture Warrant.

 Each SPA also grants each lender a participation
right up to September 24, 2025 whereby each lender will have the right to participate in up to 25 % of any subsequent offering of the Company
based on such lender's pro rata portion of the SPAs.

 The Company has determined that the conversion
features meet the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and hedging, and as a result has
bifurcated the conversion features from the contract. As a result, the Company recorded the embedded derivative as a conversion feature
liability on its consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding debt discount which is netted against the principal amount of the
Debentures. The Company accretes the debt discount associated with the conversion feature liability to accretion expense over the term
of the Debentures using the effective interest rate method. The conversion feature liability is initially measured at fair value and re-measured
at the end of each reporting period with any changes in fair value reported on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
loss.

 On November 13, 2024, the convertible notes automatically converted
pursuant to their terms into 801,413 Common Shares at a conversion price of $ 5.75 being the public offering price per share in the public
offering. Additionally, the Company issued an additional 215,421 warrants exercisable to acquire 215,421 Common Shares at an exercise
price of $ 7.19 per share and the exercise price of the Company's existing 430,805 warrants issued in connection with the offering
of the convertible notes was repriced from $ 10.55 per share to $ 7.19 per share.

 The initial fair value of the conversion feature liability for the
SPAs was determined to be $ 6,598,475 using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

 NOTE 10 – OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

 The Company adopted a cash bonus policy pursuant
to which it may grant bonus rights to certain eligible participants, which include employees, officers, or consultants of the Company,
that are payable in cash. These bonus rights are subject to certain vesting provisions and are revalued at each reporting date with the
change being included in management fees and salaries on the Company's consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss.

 F- 18

 During the year ended December 31, 2022, Officers
of the Company were granted the ability to earn up to 370,448 bonus rights entitling them to a cash bonus equal to an amount by which
the fair market value of one common share of the Company (calculated as the 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP")
per common share) exceeds $ 39.50 multiplied by the number of bonus rights vested. The bonus rights initially earned vest on the earlier
of the date of a change of control or April 15, 2024, and were be payable upon vesting. The bonus rights will be earned in tranches based
on the price of the Company's common share exceeding certain thresholds.

 On April 16, 2024, the Company amended the bonus
rights agreements to extend the vesting date from April 15, 2024, through the earlier of April 28, 2027, a change of control, or attainment
of the business value threshold with respect to any tranche. Additionally, the grant price was reduced from $ 39.50 to $ 29.75. As of December
31, 2024, and 2023, the Officers had earned 95,071 bonus rights.

 As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company
recognized a bonus right liability of $ 102,783 and $ 84,125, respectively, to recognize the proportionate unvested bonus rights. Total
compensation expense for the bonus rights recognized within general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024,
and 2023, was $ 16,160 and $ 75,830, respectively. Total compensation expense (recovery) for the bonus rights recognized within research
and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, was $ 2,498 and $ 14,660, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,
and 2023, there was $ 264,043 and $ 14,660 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the bonus right awards, respectively.

 In accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments,
 the bonus right awards are considered liability-based awards and are revalued at each reporting date. The following weighted average
assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the valuation of the bonus rights liability as of December 31, 2024,
and 2023:

 Warrants Liabilities

 a)

 Prior to August 31, 2023, the Company's functional currency was the CAD, as such, the Company recorded a warrant liability on the warrants outstanding with USD exercise prices. This derivative liability was being revalued at each reporting period.

 The Company revalued its derivative
liability upon the change in functional currency, which resulted in a loss on revaluation of $ 145,980 for the year ended December 31,
2023.

 Due to the change in functional currency
on August 31, 2023, the derivative liability was measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with a valuation
date of August 31, 2023. The derivative liability of the Company on that date was $ 351,969, which upon reclassification, was charged to
equity as an increase in reserves of $ 351,969.

 On August 31, 2023, the Company's functional currency changed to the USD from the CAD; as such, the Company recorded a derivative liability on the warrants outstanding with previously issued CAD exercises prices. This derivative liability is being revalued at each reporting period.

 As of August 31, 2023, the Company
charged $ 4,541,545 to equity to reclassify the derivative liability for warrants with exercise prices denominated in CAD using the Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model. The initial reclassification resulted in a decrease in share capital $ 4,541,545. In December 2023, 471,093 warrants
were re-priced from CAD to USD denominated exercise price which resulted in $ 4,025,102 of the derivative liability being reclassified
to equity. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 376,801 warrants were re-priced from CAD to USD denominated exercise price which resulted
in $ 4,292,797 of the derivative liability being reclassified to equity. As of December 31, 2024, the Company revalued the derivative liability
to $ 503,129 (December 31, 2023 - $ 4,455,747) and recorded a loss on revaluation of $ 340,179 for the year ended December 31, 2024 (year

 On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into SPAs with various third
party lenders for the issuance of the 430,805 Initial Debenture Warrants and 215,421 Additional Debenture Warrants (Note 9).

 The Initial Debenture Warrants were exercisable
at a price of $ 10.55 per share until September 24, 2029. Upon closing of a Qualified Offering, each Initial Debenture Warrant holder received
Additional Warrants with identical terms as the Initial Debenture Warrants. The exercise price of the Debenture Warrants are subject to
adjustment upon the completion of a Qualified Offering to the lower of (i) the existing Debenture Warrant exercise price, (ii) the exercise
price of any common share purchase warrants issued in the Qualified Offering, or (iii) if no common share purchase warrants are issued
in the Qualified Offering, the closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (as converted into U.S. dollars)
immediately prior to the pricing news release of the Qualified Offering.

 The fundamental transaction clause in the warrant
agreement stipulates that the expected volatility is determined as the greater of 100% and the 30-day volatility, as calculated from the
HVT function on Bloomberg. Under ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging), an instrument must be classified as equity if it passes the "fixed-for-fixed"
indexation test, meaning both the exercise price and the number of shares to be issued must be fixed at issuance. In this case, the volatility
input is predetermined and fixed in the agreement "an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 30 day volatility
from the "HVT" function on Bloomberg", and is therefore not indexed to the Company's stock. As a result, the Initial
and Additional Debenture Warrants fail the "fixed-for-fixed" test and are classified as derivative liabilities in accordance
with ASC 815.

 F- 24

 On initial recognition, the Company determined
$ 3,238,759 as the fair value of the Initial Debenture Warrants to set up the derivative liability. The Company allocated $ 1,185,284 of
the fair value against the proceeds of the SPA and the remaining $ 2,053,475 as a loss on revaluation. On the completion of the Qualified
Offering, the Company determined $ 892,745 as the fair value of the Additional Warrants. As at December 31, 2024, the Company revalued
the derivative liabilities to $ 2,646,843 and recorded a loss on revaluation of $ 1,481,661 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Warrants issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024, is as follows:

 Agent Warrants issued in connection with the public offering.

 Upon completion of the public offering, the Company
issued 608,696 agent warrants with a fair value of $ 2,381,051 and an additional 34,196 agent warrants with a fair value of $ 110,042 for
the over-allotment. In the warrant agreement it included the fundamental transaction clause that stipulates that the expected volatility
is determined as the greater of 100% and the 30-day volatility, as calculated from the HVT function on Bloomberg. Under ASC 815 (Derivatives
and Hedging), an instrument must be classified as equity if it passes the "fixed-for-fixed" indexation test, meaning both the
exercise price and the number of shares to be issued must be fixed at issuance. In this case, the volatility input is predetermined and
fixed in the agreement "an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 30 day volatility from the "HVT" function
on Bloomberg", and is therefore not indexed to the Company's stock. As a result, the agent warrants fail the "fixed-for-fixed"
test and are classified as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815.

 F- 25

 As at December 31, 2024, the Company revalued
the derivative liabilities to $ 2,670,386 and recorded a loss on revaluation of $ 179,293 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 Share Options

 Common Share Options

 The Company's 2023 Share Option Plan (the
"2023 Option Plan") for its officers, directors, employees and consultants was approved by stockholders on June 27, 2023.
Pursuant to the 2023 Option Plan, the Company may grant non-transferable share options totaling in aggregate up to 20 % of the Company's
issued and outstanding Common Shares and Restricted Shares, exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant, and at
an exercise price that will not be lower than the greater of the last closing price for the Common Shares as quoted on the CSE: (i) on
the trading day prior to the date of grant; and (ii) the date of grant. All options granted pursuant to the 2023 Option Plan will be subject
to such vesting requirements as may be imposed by the Board. In the event of a Change of Control, as defined in the 2023 Option Plan,
all unvested options will vest immediately.

 The 2022 Option Plan was previously adopted by
the board and approved by stockholders on July 19, 2022, pursuant to which incentive share options were granted to certain directors,
officers, employees and consultants (the "2022 Option Plan"). Under the 2022 Option Plan, the Company could grant non-transferable
share options totaling in aggregate up to 10 % of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares, exercisable for a period of
up to ten years from the date of grant, and at an exercise price which is not less than that permitted by the TSX-V. In connection with
listing of the Common Shares on the CSE, the Company adopted the 2023 Option Plan and determined that the 2022 Option Plan be closed to
new grants. The options outstanding under the 2022 Option Plan, issued prior to the adoption of the 2023 Option Plan ("2022 Options")
are not included in the maximum number of share options available for grant pursuant to the 2023 Option Plan and are not subject to the
terms of the 2023 Option Plan; as such, the 2022 Options will continue to be governed by the 2022 Option Plan.

 NOTE 18 – INCOME TAXES

 There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has historically
incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. In 2024 and 2023, substantially
all of the Company's net operating losses were generated in Canada.

 A reconciliation between the federal statutory
tax rate and our effective tax rate is summarized as follows:

 Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
upon future taxable income, if any. The Company established a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024,
and 2023 due to the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the realization of future tax benefits from its net operating loss carryforwards
and other deferred tax assets.

 At December 31, 2024, the Company had, for Canadian
tax purposes, non-capital losses aggregating approximately $ 51,884,000. These losses are available to reduce taxable income earned by
ACI and ACI Canada in future years and expire between 2035 and 2043. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had, for United
States of America tax purposes, non-capital losses aggregating approximately $ 9,000. These losses are available to reduce taxable income
earned by the ACI USA in future years and expire in 2042.

 The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the
jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions,
where applicable. There are currently no pending tax examinations. The Company is open to further tax examination for all years.
