[10-Q] Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc Quarterly Earnings Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Adial Pharmaceuticals (ADIL) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing AD04 for alcohol use disorder with a precision‑medicine genetic focus. At June 30, 2025 the company held $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and reported a $4.19 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, leaving an accumulated deficit of $86.2 million.

Management received approximately $5.3 million of net proceeds from warrant exercises and equity issuances in May–June 2025 and completed a June 2025 best efforts offering that generated about $3.0 million net. The company states these funds are sufficient to meet current commitments into the second quarter of 2026 but explicitly notes substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and that additional capital will be required for planned Phase 3 trials.

Key operational positives disclosed include a favorable FDA response on an in‑vitro bridging strategy and an issued U.S. patent (April 15, 2025) covering AD04 administration for patients with specified genetic markers. The filing also discloses material weaknesses in internal controls and multiple warrant programs and shareholder approvals that create meaningful potential dilution.

Positive

• $5.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025, providing short‑term runway into Q2 2026
• Received approximately $5.3 million of net proceeds from warrant exercises and equity issuances in May–June 2025
• Completed a June 2025 best efforts offering that generated approximately $3.0 million in net proceeds
• Received a favorable FDA response on the proposed in‑vitro bridging strategy for AD04 and secured a U.S. patent (Apr 15, 2025) covering precision administration to patients with specified genetic markers

Negative

• Substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern; current cash expected to last into Q2 2026 only
• Accumulated deficit of approximately $86.2 million and net loss of $4.19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025
• Future development funding needs are material: management estimates $8–12 million per additional Phase 3 trial plus up to $5 million other development expenses
• Significant potential dilution from outstanding warrants ( 26,608,496 warrants outstanding at June 30, 2025) and shareholder‑approved issuances that could total millions of shares
• Disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls and ineffective disclosure controls as of period end

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Financing extended runway but ADIL still faces meaningful funding and dilution risks; clinical milestones drive value.

Adial's recent financings — the May 2025 warrant inducement and the June 2025 offering — increased cash to $5.9M and yield a runway into Q2 2026 under current plans. Management estimates two additional Phase 3 trials could each require $8–12M and up to $5M of other development costs, signalling substantial future capital needs. The April 2025 patent and the FDA's positive response on an in‑vitro bridging strategy are material program catalysts because they support the targeted, genotype‑driven development strategy for AD04. Investors should weigh near‑term de‑risking from financing and regulatory inputs against recurring operating losses ($4.19M six‑month loss) and large potential share overhang from outstanding warrants (26.6M at June 30, 2025) and shareholder‑approved issuances. Overall impact: mixed.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Material weaknesses in internal controls and ongoing remediation present governance and disclosure risk.

Adial discloses multiple unremediated material weaknesses, including insufficient documentation of policies, inadequate approval and review processes, limited GAAP experience for complex transactions, IT general control deficiencies, and insufficient segregation of duties. Management reports disclosure controls were not effective as of period end and is engaging consultants to remediate. These deficiencies increase the risk of financial misstatements and could delay timely, accurate reporting—particularly given frequent complex equity Financings and warrant modifications recognized as equity issuance costs. The combination of control deficiencies and significant capital transactions is a negative governance signal that may affect investor confidence and regulatory scrutiny.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Adial” or the “Company”) was converted from a limited liability company formed on November 23, 2010 in the Commonwealth of Virginia under the name Adial Pharmaceuticals, LLC, to a corporation and reincorporated in Delaware on October 5, 2017. Adial is presently engaged in the development of medications for the treatment or prevention of addictions and related disorders.

Adial’s wholly owned subsidiary, Purnovate, Inc. (“Purnovate”), was formed on January 26, 2021 to acquire Purnovate, LLC, an entity formed in December of 2019. Purnovate was a drug development company with a platform focused on developing drug candidates for non-opioid pain reduction and other diseases and disorders potentially targeted with adenosine analogs that are selective, potent, stable, and soluble. In 2023, Adial sold the Purnovate assets and business to Adovate, LLC (“Adovate”), a company formed and majority owned by a then director of the Company and CEO of Purnovate. In January 2025, Adial’s board of directors approved the merger of Purnovate into Adial. This merger is expected to be completed in the near future and there is no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

2 — GOING CONCERN AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company is in a development stage and has incurred losses each year since inception. Based on the current development plans for AD04 in both the U.S. and international markets and other operating requirements, the Company does not believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In May and June of 2025, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million from the exercise of warrants and equity issuances. However, the Company will require additional capital to continue operations and development of AD04. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

Other Uncertainties 

Generally, the industry in which the Company operates subjects the Company to a number of other risks and uncertainties that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the timing, costs and results of clinical trials and other development activities versus expectations; the ability to obtain regulatory approval to market product candidates; the ability to manufacture products successfully; competition from products sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, reimbursement of, and demand for, Company products once approved; the ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products.

3 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results might differ from these estimates.

5

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include accruals associated with third party providers supporting clinical trials and income tax asset realization.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results of operations for the periods presented. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the 2024 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiary in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share are computed based on the weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock, which are all voting shares. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all proportional shares of common stock, including stock options, restricted stock, and warrants to the extent dilutive. Basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect. 

The total potentially dilutive common shares that were excluded for the six months periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

		Potentially Dilutive Common Shares Outstanding June 30,
		2025				2024
Warrants to purchase common shares			26,608,496				4,201,568
Common Shares issuable on exercise of options			1,184,182				355,905
Unvested restricted stock awards			6,660				19,996
Total potentially dilutive Common Shares excluded			27,799,338				4,577,469

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed the current insured amounts under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At June 30, 2025, the Company did not exceed FDIC insurance limits in its insured bank accounts but held approximately $5.2 million in non-FDIC insured cash equivalent accounts. Included in cash equivalents are money market investments with original maturity dates when purchased less than ninety days and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gain or loss are included in the interest income and are immaterial to the financial statements. At December 31, 2024, the Company did not exceed FDIC insurance limits in its insured bank accounts but held approximately $3.6 million in non-FDIC insured cash equivalent accounts.

Equity Method Investments

The Company utilizes the equity method to account for investments when it possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of the investee.

6

Equity method investments are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus the Company’s proportionate share of the equity method investee’s operating income or loss and plus or minus the Company’s proportionate share of dilution to buyers of newly issued equity. The proportionate share of the income or loss from equity method investments is recognized on a one quarter lag.

Currently, the Company is not obligated to make additional capital contributions for its equity method investments and therefore only records losses up to the amount of its total investment, inclusive of any other investments in and loans to the investee, which are not accounted for as equity method investments.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The methodology establishes consistency and comparability by providing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels, which are described below:

● Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (these are observable market inputs).

● Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability (includes quoted market prices for similar assets or identical or similar assets in markets in which there are few transactions, prices that are not current or prices that vary substantially).

● Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability (used when little or no market data is available).

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and include supplies and other direct trial expenses such as fees due to contract research organizations, consultants which support the Company’s research and development endeavors, the acquisition of technology rights without an alternative use, and compensation and benefits of clinical research and development personnel. Certain research and development costs, in particular fees to contract research organizations (“CROs”), are structured with milestone payments due on the occurrence of certain key events. Where such milestone payments are greater than those earned through the provision of such services, the Company recognizes a prepaid asset which is recorded as expense; where fees earned are greater than milestone payments, an accrued expense liability is recorded as expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of option awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. That cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the awardee was required to provide service in exchange for the entire award. The fair value of options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on key assumptions such as the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free rate of return, and expected term of the options. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on historical data, peer company data, government data, and the judgment of management regarding future trends.

Common shares issued are valued based on the fair value of the Company’s common shares as determined by the market closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the commitment to make the issuance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect the ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update would require a public entity to disclose information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated condensed financial statements. 

4 — EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

On June 30, 2023, Adovate issued to the Company a 19.9% equity stake in Adovate as part of consideration owed upon the exercise of Adovate’s option to purchase the business and assets of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Purnovate, Inc. Under the terms of the final asset purchase agreement, Adovate was obligated to protect the Company against dilution by issuing additional equity to the Company in Adovate as Adovate equity was sold to maintain the Company’s 15% equity stake until such time as Adovate had raised $4 million through equity sales, at which time the Company’s equity stake would be adjusted to equal to 15%. The Company determined the fair value of this equity to be $1,727,897 at time of issue, based on the price of cash sales by Adovate of the same class of equity to third parties around the same time as the date of issue.

On January 30, 2024, the Company acknowledged that Adovate had raised $4 million and the Company’s equity in Adovate was reduced to equal 15% of Adovate’s equity then outstanding. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction on the value of its equity stake of $283,268.

In accordance with ASC 810, the Company determined that Adovate does not qualify as a variable interest entity, nor does the Company have a controlling financial interest in Adovate. The Company has influence over, but does not control Adovate through its equity interest in Adovate. The Company has determined that the equity it owns is in-substance common stock. The Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Adovate that most significantly impact Adovate’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial statements of Adovate with those of the Company.

On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a warrant inducement agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with an existing healthcare-focused institutional investor of the Company for the immediate exercise of existing Series B Warrants to purchase 1,418,440 shares of the Company’s common stock and Series C Warrants, and together with the Series B Warrants (the "Existing Warrants") to purchase 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price of $0.74 in exchange for   (i) Series B-1 warrants to purchase up to 2,482,270 shares of common stock (the "Series B-1 Warrants"), and (ii) Series C-1 Warrants to purchase up to 4,025,000 shares of common stock (the "Series C-1 Warrants"), and together with the Series B-1 Warrants (the "New Warrants"). The New Warrants have an exercise price of $0.74 and will be exercisable upon stockholder approval. The Series B-1 Warrants expire five years from the date of such approval and the Series C-1 Warrants will expire eighteen months from the date of such approval. The Company’s stockholders have approved the Series B-1 and C-1 warrants as of August 1, 2025.

11

In addition, the Company issued to other investors as tail fee warrants, consisting of Placement Agent Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Placement Agent Series C-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 223,106 shares of Common Stock, which tail fee warrants have the same terms as the New Warrants, except that they have an exercise price of $0.925 per share.

The Inducement Agreement, which resulted in the lowering of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants, is considered a modification of the Existing Warrants under the guidance ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the equity issuance classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Existing Warrants to cash exercise their warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million. The Company incurred approximately $0.5 million as equity issuance costs associated with the inducement agreement. As the Existing Warrants and the New Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $3.0 million as additional equity issuance cost.

On June 17, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holder of certain existing warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Holder”), consisting of (i) Series B-1 warrants to purchase up to 2,482,270 shares of Common Stock and (ii) Series C-1 warrants to purchase up to 4,025,000 shares of Common Stock and, together with the Series B-1 Warrants, the “Prior Warrants”). Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the Company agreed (i) to amend the Prior Warrants to reduce the exercise price of the Prior Warrants to $0.35 per share, (ii) to amend the Prior Warrants to modify the termination date thereof to (x) June 17, 2030 for the Series B-1 Warrants and (y) December 17, 2026 for the Series C-1 Warrants, and (iii) to amend that certain warrant inducement agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”), dated May 2, 2025, by and between the Company and the Holder, to provide that the Company would hold a special meeting of stockholders at the earliest practicable date, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Inducement Agreement). As the Warrant Amendment was classified as equity instruments before and after the Warrant Amendment, and as the Warrant Amendment is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the Warrant Amendment of approximately $197,000 as additional equity issuance cost.

On June 18, 2025, the Company consummated a best efforts offering (the “Offering”) of (i) 5,341,200 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii)  pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,758,800 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (iii) Series D warrants (the “Series D Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 11,100,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series D Warrant Shares”), (iv) Series E warrants (the “Series E Warrants” and, together with the Series D Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,325,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series E Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series D Warrant Shares, the “Common Warrant Shares”). Each Share or Pre-Funded Warrant was sold together with one Series D Warrant and one Series E Warrant. The combined public offering price for each Share and accompanying Common Warrants was $0.3251. The combined public offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrants was $0.3241. The aggregate net proceeds from the Offering was approximately $3.0 million. The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million as equity issuance costs associated with the Offering.

In addition, the Company issued to other investors as tail fee warrants, consisting of Series D Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 106,110 shares of Common Stock, which tail fee warrants have the same terms as the Series D Warrants, except that they have an exercise price of $0.4375 per share. 

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 per Common Warrant Share and will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of shareholder approval of the issuance of the Common Warrant Shares. The Series D Warrants will expire on the 5-year anniversary of the shareholder approval and the Series E Warrants will expire on the 18-month anniversary of the shareholder approval. The Company’s stockholders have approved the Series D and E warrants as of August 1, 2025. The Company evaluated the pre-funded warrants and the common warrant shares under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the warrants meet the requirements to be classified in permanent equity. The fair value of the Common Warrants approximated $3.3 million and was recognized as additional-paid-in capital during the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025 all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised.

License with University of Virginia Patent Foundation

In January 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with the University of Virginia Patent Foundation, dba UVA Licensing and Ventures Group (“UVA LVG”) for rights to make, use or sell licensed products in the United States based upon the ten separate patents and patent applications made and held by UVA LVG.

As consideration for the rights granted in the UVA LVG License, the Company is obligated to pay UVA LVG yearly license fees and milestone payments, as well as a royalty based on net sales of products covered by the patent-related rights. More specifically, the Company paid UVA LVG a license issue fee and is obligated to pay UVA LVG (i) annual minimum royalties of $40,000 commencing in 2017; (ii) a $20,000 milestone payments upon dosing the first patient under a Phase 3 human clinical trial of a licensed product, $155,000 upon the earlier of the completion of a Phase 3 trial of a licensed product, partnering of a licensed product, or sale of the Company, $275,000 upon acceptance of a New Drug Application by the FDA, and $1,000,000 upon approval for sale of AD04 in the U.S., Europe or Japan; as well as (iii) royalties equal to a 2% and 1% of net sales of licensed products in countries in which a valid patent exists or does not exist, respectively, with royalties paid quarterly. In the event of a sublicense to a third party, the Company is obligated to pay royalties to UVA LVG equal to a percentage of what the Company would have been required to pay to UVA LVG had it sold the products under sublicense itself. In addition, the Company is required to pay to UVA LVG 15% of any sublicensing income. A certain percentage of these payments by the Company to UVA LVG may then be distributed to the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and former Chief Medical Officer in his capacity as inventor of the patents by the UVA LVG in accordance with their policies at the time.

The license agreement may be terminated by UVA LVG upon sixty (60) days written notice if the Company breaches its obligations thereunder, including failing to make any milestone, failure to make required payments, or the failure to exercise diligence to bring licensed products to market. In the event of a termination, the Company will be obligated to pay all amounts that accrued prior to such termination. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the goals of submitting a New Drug Application to the FDA for a licensed product by March 31, 2028 and commencing commercialization of an FDA approved product by March 31, 2029. If the Company were to fail to use commercially reasonable effort and fail to meet either goal, the licensor would have the right to terminate the license.

The term of the license continues until the expiration, abandonment or invalidation of all licensed patents and patent applications, and following any such expiration, abandonment or invalidation will continue in perpetuity on a royalty-free, fully paid basis.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a $10,000 minimum license royalty expense under this agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a $20,000 minimum license royalty expense under this agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein included in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the other information set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 that we filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). ln addition to historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those set forth below under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein, and those identified under Part I, Item 1A of the 2024 Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutics for the treatment or prevention of addiction and related disorders. Our investigational new drug candidate, AD04, is being developed as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (“AUD”). AD04 was recently investigated in a Phase 3 clinical trial, designated the ONWARD trial, for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes, which were identified using our companion diagnostic genetic test. Based on our analysis of the subgroup data from the ONWARD trial, we are now focused on completing the clinical development program for AD04 in the specified genetic subgroups to meet regulatory requirements primarily in the US and secondarily in Europe/UK.

We have devoted the vast majority of our resources to development efforts relating to AD04, including preparation for and conducting clinical trials, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property. We expect these activities to continue to demand most of our resources for the foreseeable future.

We currently do not have any products approved for sale and we have not generated any significant revenue since our inception. From our inception through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have funded our operations primarily through the private and public placements of debt, equity securities, and an equity line.

Our current cash and cash equivalents, including the cash received from the warrant inducement transaction in May 2025 and equity issuance in June 2025, are not expected to be sufficient to fund operations for the twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, based on our current commitments and development plans. We have incurred recurring losses and need to raise additional funds to sustain our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception, including net losses of approximately $4.2 million and $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. We had accumulated deficits of approximately $86.2 million and $82 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. All of our operating losses in the three months ended June 30, 2025 resulted from costs incurred in continuing operations, including costs in connection with our continuing research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations.

We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain marketing approval for AD04, which we expect will take a number of years and is subject to significant uncertainty.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, commercialization, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop AD04.

Recent Developments

Clinical Developments

On February 25, 2025, we received a positive response from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on our proposed in-vitro bridging strategy for AD04. At our April 2023 Type C meeting with the FDA, the FDA reaffirmed the acceptance of the heavy-drinking-day based endpoints as a basis for approval for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder rather than the previously required abstinence-based endpoints. As a result, we are preparing for the next FDA interaction to confirm the Phase 3 clinical plan in the United States. In January of 2025, the FDA also released a Qualification Statement accepting another surrogate endpoint for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The newly released Qualification Statement by Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), states the acceptance of the 2-level reduction of the World Health Organization (WHO) risk drinking levels of alcohol consumption as an efficacy endpoint in pivotal clinical trials with adults diagnosed with (AUD). We have also been issued key patents in the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions for which we have exclusive license rights. The active ingredient in AD04 is ondansetron, a serotonin-3 antagonist. Due to its mechanism of action, we believe AD04 has the potential to be used for the treatment of other addictive disorders, such as Opioid Use Disorder, obesity, smoking, and other drug addictions.

On May 1, 2025, we announced that patent number 12,274,692 was issued on April 15, 2025 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering the administration of AD04, our investigational drug, as a precision medicine approach for patients with specific genetic markers. The patent claims a method of treating addiction by administering a therapeutically effective amount of AD04 to patients with serotonin-related gene variations, including specific genotypes of HTR3A, HTR3B, and SLC6A4, such as the LL genotype of 5-HTTLPR in combination with variations in rs1150226, rs17614942, and rs1176713.

May 2025 Warrant Inducement Transaction

On May 2, 2025, we entered into a warrant inducement agreement (the “May 2025 Inducement Agreement”) with an existing healthcare-focused institutional investor of ours (the “Holder”) for the immediate exercise of existing Series B Warrants to purchase 1,418,440 shares of our common stock and Series C Warrants, and together with the Series B Warrants (the "Existing Warrants") to purchase 2,300,000 shares of our common stock at a reduced exercise price of $0.74 for net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million. In consideration for the immediate exercise in full of the Existing Warrants, the investor received, in a private placement, new unregistered (i) Series B-1 warrants to purchase up to 2,482,270 shares of common stock(the "Series B-1 Warrants"), and (ii) Series C-1 Warrants to purchase up to 4,025,000 shares of common stock (the "Series C-1 Warrants"), and together with the Series B-1 Warrants the "May 2025 Warrants"). Upon issuance the May 2025 Warrants had an exercise price of $0.74 and were exercisable upon stockholder approval, which approval was obtained on August 1, 2025. The Series B-1 Warrants expire five years from the date of such approval and the Series C-1 Warrants will expire eighteen months from the date of such approval. The warrant inducement transaction closed on May 5, 2025.

In addition, we issued to other investors as tail fee warrants, consisting of Placement Agent Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Placement Agent Series C-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 223,106 shares of Common Stock, which Tail Fee Warrants have the same terms as the May 2025 Warrants, except that they have an exercise price of $0.925 per share.

June 2025 Best Efforts Offering and Warrant Amendment 

On June 17, 2025, we entered into an amendment agreement (the “Warrant Amendment”) with the Holder, pursuant to which we agreed (i) to amend the May 2025 Warrants to reduce the exercise price of the May 2025 Warrants to $0.35 per share, (ii) to amend the May 2025 Warrants to modify the termination date thereof to (x) June 17, 2030 for the Series B-1 Warrants and (y) December 17, 2026 for the Series C-1 Warrants, and (iii) to amend (the “May 2025 Inducement Agreement”), to provide that we would hold a special meeting of stockholders at the earliest practicable date, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the closing date, of the June 2025 Offering (as defined below) for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval (as defined in the May 2025 Inducement Agreement).

On June 18, 2025, we consummated a best efforts offering (the “June 2025 Offering”) of (i) 5,341,200 shares of our common stock (the “June 2025 Shares”), (ii)  pre-funded warrants (the “June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,758,800 shares of our common stock (the “ the June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (iii) Series D warrants (the “Series D Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 11,100,000 shares of our common stock (the “Series D Warrant Shares”), (iv) Series E warrants (the “Series E Warrants” and, together with the Series D Warrants, the “June 2025 Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,325,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series E Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series D Warrant Shares, the “June 2025 Warrant Shares”). Each June 2025 Share or June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant was sold together with one Series D Warrant and one Series E Warrant. The combined public offering price for each Share and accompanying June 2025 Warrants was $0.3251. The combined public offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying June 2025 Warrants was $0.3241. The aggregate net proceeds from the June 2025 Offering was approximately $3.0 million.

16

Each June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant was immediately exercisable for one June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Share at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and will remain exercisable until such June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. The June 2025 have an exercise price of $0.35 per June 2025 Warrant Share and will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the June 2025 Warrant Shares, which approval was obtained on August 1, 2025. The Series D Warrants will expire on the 5-year anniversary of the date of such approval and the Series E Warrants will expire on the 18-month anniversary of the date of such approval. As of June 30, 2025 all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised.

At the Market Offering 

On August 1, 2025, we, entered into a sales agreement (the “ATM”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Sales Agent”) providing for the sale by us for its shares of common stock, from time to time, through the ATM, with certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by us. The aggregate market value of the shares of Common Stock eligible for sale under the ATM prospectus supplement filed in connection with the ATM was $4,983,000 which is based on the limitations of such offerings under SEC regulations. The ATM provides that we will pay the Sales Agent commissions for its services in acting as agent in the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM. The Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM.

2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

At our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”), which was held on August 1, 2025, our stockholders approved, among other matters: (1) the issuance of up to an aggregate of 6,730,376 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the May 2025 Warrants and placement agent warrants issued pursuant to the May 2025 Inducement Agreement; (2) the issuance of up to an aggregate of 19,425,000 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the June 2025 Warrants issued in connection with the June 2025 Offering; (3) a reverse stock split with respect to our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-25, with the ratio within such range to be determined at the discretion of the Board and included in a public announcement, subject to the authority of the Board of Directors to abandon such amendment; (4) an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), at the discretion of our Board of Directors, to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock, from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000; and (5) an amendment to our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of our common stock that we will have authority to grant under the 2017 Plan from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000.

Net loss			(1,958,000	)			(2,458,000	)			(500,000	)

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $281,000 (28%) during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The key drivers of the decrease were decreased contract labor and decreased clinical activity in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

17

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $125,000 (10%) during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The key drivers of the decrease were mainly due to lower equity compensation, legal and consulting costs and franchise taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Change in Value of Equity Method Investment

The expense recognized to the change in the value of our equity method investment in Adovate, LLC decreased by approximately $123,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease is due to variations in the loss recognized related to our equity investment which includes a lower equity share, with changes to the value of our Adovate equity recognized on a three month lag.

Total Other income (expenses)

Total other income, excluding losses from the equity method investment, decreased by approximately $29,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was mainly due to lower interest income due to lower cash balances in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, earning less interest.

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (rounded to nearest thousand)

The following table sets forth the components of our statements of operations in dollars for the periods presented:

		For the Six Months Ended June 30,								Change
		2025				2024				(Decrease)
Research and development expenses		$	1,479,000			$	1,467,000			$	12,000
General and administrative expenses			2,671,000				2,665,000				6,000

Net loss			(4,187,000	)			(8,935,000	)			(4,748,000	)

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $12,000 (1%) in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The slight increase was primarily driven by increased chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) expenses to develop clinical supplies for the upcoming program to advance AD04 to a Phase 3 trial, offset by lower clinical activity expense.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $6,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This slight increase was mainly due to higher compensation, offset by reduction in consulting expense. 

18

Losses from Equity Method Investment

The expense recognized to the change in the value of our equity method investment in Adovate, LLC decreased by approximately $150,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease is due to variations in the loss recognized related to our equity investment which includes a lower equity share, with changes to the value of our Adovate equity recognized on a three month lag.

Inducement Expense

The inducement expense of approximately $4,464,000 which was a one-time, noncash expense associated with the issuance of new warrants to induce the exercise of outstanding warrants which occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Total Other income (expenses)

Total other income, excluding losses from the equity method investment and inducement expense, increased by $151,000 (203%) in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was due to the recognition of a milestone payment received from Adovate of $150,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at June 30, 2025

Our principal liquidity needs have historically been working capital, R&D costs including clinical trials, patent costs and personnel costs. We expect these needs to continue to increase in the near term as we engage in clinical trials and develop and eventually commercialize our compound, if approved by regulatory authorities. Over the next several years, we expect to increase our R&D expenses as we undergo clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our lead product candidate. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with the proceeds from our initial and secondary public offerings, sales pursuant to the At the Market Offering Agreement, dated April 18, 2024, that we entered into with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “HCW ATM Agreement”), private placements, use of our equity line, as well as other equity financings, warrant exercises, and the issuance of debt securities.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our primary sources of funding were the exercise of previously issued warrants and the use of our HCW ATM Agreement and the March 2024 warrant inducement described below.

On March 1, 2024, warrants to purchase 268,440 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.82 per share were exercised for gross proceeds of approximately $757 thousand.

On March 1, 2024, we entered into an inducement agreement (the “March 2024 Inducement Agreement”) pursuant to which the holder of certain existing warrants exercised for cash warrants to purchase up to approximately 1,150,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.82 per share. The transactions contemplated by the March 2024 Inducement Agreement closed on March 6, 2024 and we received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by us. Net proceeds of this transaction were approximately $3.1 million.

In the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold 2,348,520 shares of common stock through the HCW ATM Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $4 million after placement fees and expenses.

On May 2, 2025, we entered into the May 2025 Inducement Agreement with the Holder providing for the immediate exercise of existing the Series B Warrants to purchase 1,418,440 shares of our common stock and the Series C Warrants, and together with the Series B Warrants to purchase 2,300,000 shares of our common stock at a reduced exercise price of $0.74 for net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million.

On June 18, 2025, we consummated the June 2025 Offering as describe above in the section titled “Recent Developments”. The aggregate net proceeds from the June 2025 Offering was approximately $3.0 million.

19

At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 million. We completed a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study of AD04 in 2024 with a total cost of approximately $1.4 million. We plan to begin a Phase III study of AD04 in the second half of 2025, assuming availability of adequate funding, conclusion of ongoing discussions with regulatory authorities and finalization of the trial design, availability of sufficient drug product to carry out the study, and completion of the revalidation process for our companion diagnostic to be included in our Phase III study. We have signed a contract with a vendor for approximately $2.3 million, which is cancellable by either party, to produce sufficient drug product to carry out the study, validate the manufacturing process, and manufacture registration batches for commercial usage. Our cash on hand and cash equivalents, including the cash proceeds from the financing closed on June 18, 2025 and the warrant inducement that closed on May 5, 2025, is sufficient to fund our operations and meet our existing commitments into the second quarter of 2026, based on our current commitments. We have incurred recurring losses and need to raise additional funds to sustain our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We will require additional financing as we continue to execute our overall business strategy, including two additional Phase 3 trials for AD04 that are currently expected to require $8-12 million each in direct expenses, and up to $5 million in additional other development expenses. These estimates may change based on ongoing discussions with regulatory authorities and final trial designs. Our liquidity may be negatively impacted as a result of research and development cost increases in addition to general economic and industry factors. Our continued operations will depend on our ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, grant funding, strategic relationships, or out-licensing in order to complete its subsequent clinical trial requirements for AD04. At this time, we have no committed sources of funding and our ability to use our ATM Agreement is restricted by certain SEC rules and our ability to use our equity line is restricted by certain Nasdaq rules. Management is actively pursuing financing and other strategic plans but can provide no assurances that such financing or other strategic plans will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Without additional funding, we will be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs, which would likely have a material adverse effect on us and our financial statements.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or convertible debt, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our products, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to raise capital in the future could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As previously reported, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified and as yet unremediated include (i) lack of finalized assessment under COSO framework, (ii) policies and procedures which are not adequately documented, (iii) lack of proper approval processes, review processes and documentation for such reviews, (iv) insufficient GAAP experience regarding complex transactions and ineffective review processes over period end financial disclosure and reporting (v) deficiencies in the risk assessment, design and policies and procedures over information technology (“IT”) general controls. and (vi) insufficient segregation of duties.

Due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described above, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Remediation Plan for Existing Material Weakness

Management continues to take steps to remediate the weaknesses described above. Management has engaged consulting services to ameliorate those material weaknesses stemming from its small number of personnel, in particular consultants with significant GAAP experience and IT security experts. The Company recently completed a risk assessment of its controls, and management is committed and taking measures for additional remediation steps, including improved documentation of the Company’s policies and procedures, redesign of inadequate approval and review processes, improvements on insufficient GAAP experience regarding complex transactions and review process over period end financial disclosure and reporting, appropriate segregation of duties based upon the size of our organization, and design and policies and procedures over information technology (“IT”) general controls.

Changes in Internal Control

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we implemented changes to our internal control over financial reporting specifically some of the changes are as follows: (i) documenting financial policies and procedures, (ii) improving approval processes, review processes and documentation for such reviews, (iii) building GAAP experience capability regarding complex transactions and effective review processes over period end financial disclosure and reporting, and (iv) improving segregation of duties. Management will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of these controls throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. We believe these changes have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materializes, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2024 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

We have incurred losses from our continuing operations every year and quarter since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses from our continuing operations in the future.

We are a clinical stage biotechnology pharmaceutical company that is focused on the discovery and development of medications for the treatment of addictions and related disorders of AUD in patients with certain targeted genotypes. We have a limited operating history. Investment in biopharmaceutical product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate effect or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. We have no products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales to date, and we continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to our ongoing operations. To date, we have not generated positive cash flow from operations, revenues, or profitable operations, nor do we expect to in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $86.2 million and as of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $82 million. Our current cash and cash equivalents, including the cash proceeds of the warrant inducement that closed on May 5, 2025 and the cash proceeds of the June 2025 Offering are not expected to be sufficient to fund operations for the twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are only anticipated to be sufficient to fund our needs into the second quarter of 2026, based our current projections and current commitments. Implementation of our full development plans would exhaust our cash on hand more quickly. Therefore, despite the funding we have recently received, we will need to engage in additional fundraising in the near term as we carry out our development plans. We do not have any fixed commitments of financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the conditions for continued sales pursuant to the AGP ATM Agreement. In addition, there is no assurance that funds could be raised before we have expended our current cash on hand on acceptable terms to continue our operations and AD04 development projects.

Even if we succeed in commercializing our product candidate or any future product candidates, we expect that the commercialization of our product will not begin until 2027 or later, we will continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenditures to develop and market additional product candidates and will continue to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flow. We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate revenue. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as do our notes to financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm included in the 10-K filing contains a note stating that the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $4.2 million and used $3.3 million of cash in operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $13.2 million and used cash in operations of $6.9 million. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the research and development efforts coupled with no operating revenue. The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q state that we do not believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our significant accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and needs to raise additional funds to sustain its operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In May and June of 2025, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million from the exercise of warrants and equity issuances. However, the Company will require additional capital to continue operations and development of AD04.

Even if we succeed in commercializing our product candidate or any future product candidates, we expect that the commercialization of our product will not begin until 2027 or later, we will continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenditures to develop and market additional product candidates and will continue to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flow.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

Our shares of common stock are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ADIL.” If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market such as the corporate governance requirements, the stockholder’s equity requirement or the minimum closing bid price requirement, The Nasdaq Capital Market may take steps to de-list our common stock or warrants.

On March 5, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Staff”) notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (January 17, 2025 through March 4, 2025), our common stock did not maintain the a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the our common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ADIL.” In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 1, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of our common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify us if it determines it is in compliance and the matter will be closed; however Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that a company complies. If, however, we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 1, 2025, we may be eligible for additional time to comply. We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain our Nasdaq listing.

On May 23, 2025, we received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule 5550(b)(1)”) because our stockholders’ equity of $2,126,662 as of March 31, 2025, as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 14, 2025, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. The letter also stated that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) and Rule 5550(b)(3), the alternative quantitative standards for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, because we did not have a market value of listed securities of $35 million, or net income from continued operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal year.

On July 10, 2025, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC that stated that as of the date of such Form 8-K, we believed that we had regained compliance with the Nasdaq stockholders’ equity requirements as a result of the closing of the June 2025 Offering and the related issuance of securities in such offering. On July 14, 2025, Nasdaq issued us a conditional compliance with the Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

As reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, at June 30, 2025, our stockholders’ equity of $5.6 million is above the Nasdaq minimum requirement of $2.5 million.

In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market, minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock is covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

24

Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans and outstanding warrants, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

We expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including conducting clinical trials, commercialization efforts, expanded research and development activities and costs associated with operating a public company. To raise capital, we may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our common stock. Pursuant to our 2017 equity incentive plan, which became effective on the business day prior to the public trading date of our common stock, our management is authorized to grant equity awards to our employees, officers, directors and consultants.

At June 30, 2025, we had outstanding (i) warrants to purchase 26,608,496 shares of common stock outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.87, and (ii) options to purchase 1,184,182 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.20 per share. The issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the options and warrants will have a dilutive effect on the percentage ownership held by holders of our common stock.

We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares  of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common stock and preferred stock, as well as the awards available for issuance under our 2017 equity incentive plan, can be issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval. Any future issuances of such stock would further dilute the percentage ownership in us held by holders of our common stock and may be issued at prices below the initial price offering. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock may be used as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the part of our stockholders, and may adversely affect the holders of the common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

We did not sell any equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025 in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act other than as disclosed in our filings with the SEC.

(b) Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Not applicable.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

25

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
