- Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of
March 31, 2023 , was$18.8 million compared to$12.1 million as ofDecember 31, 2022 . The increase is attributed to receipt of the promissory note from G42 Investments onFebruary 28, 2023 .

$3.9 million and$3.1 million in each of the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

$3.5 million and$5.3 million for each of the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

March 31, 2023 , was$1.6 million and was driven by an unrealized gain related to our investment in Reneo, offset by losses related to the change in the fair value of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our stock issued to related parties and the loss from the early redemption of the G42 promissory note.
