8. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when future expenditures are probable and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

The Company has historically entered into contracts in the normal course of business with contract development and manufacturing organizations, for the manufacturing process development and the preclinical/clinical supply manufacturing, and our vendors for preclinical research studies and other services or products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice of 60 to 90 days. As of March 31, 2025, there are four such contracts related to the CMO for the development of Auxora for $0.7 million of associated costs, still in effect for future services, and there were no unpaid cancellation or other related costs.

The Company is also, from time to time, a party or subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings have involved, and may involve in the future, claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages.

Operating Lease Agreements

The Company has an operating lease for office space in La Jolla, California. In December 2024, an amendment was executed for a twelve month term as of January 1, 2025 and therefore qualifies for the short-term lease exception. Base rent for this lease is approximately $10,500 monthly.

Rent expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $30,000, which is included in operating expenses.
