Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cadrenal”) was incorporated on January 25, 2022, in the State of Delaware and is headquartered in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Cadrenal is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing novel therapies for life-threatening immune and thrombotic conditions. Its lead program, CAD-1005, is a first-in-class 12-lipoxygenase (“12-LOX”) inhibitor for the treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (“HIT”), a deadly immune-mediated thrombotic disorder. CAD-1005 has received Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and orphan drug status from the European Medicines Agency. Second-generation 12-LOX oral therapeutics are also under development for chronic conditions. The Company’s broader pipeline includes tecarfarin, a Phase 3-ready oral vitamin K antagonist for patients with end-stage kidney diseases and left ventricular assist devices, and frunexian, a parenteral Factor XIa inhibitor designed for use in acute hospital settings. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. The Company’s accompanying financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are also unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. Liquidity The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $2.5 million, which included $0.3 million of non-cash expenses. Cash used in operations totaled $3.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, net working capital of $1.8 million, and an accumulated deficit of $41.5 million.The Company is projecting that its operating losses and expected capital needs will exceed its existing cash balances and cash expected to be generated from operations for the foreseeable future. In order to meet the Company’s expected obligations, management intends to raise additional funds through partnering, the sale of equity, and debt financings. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete partnering transactions or financings on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to meet its current operating and capital expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay or reduce the scope of its research programs and/or limit or cease its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Emerging Growth Company Status As an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), the Company may elect to take advantage of certain forms of relief from various reporting requirements that apply to public companies. The relief under the JOBS Act includes an extended transition period for implementing new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period and, as a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that implement accounting standards as of the effective dates for public companies. The Company may take advantage of the relief afforded under the JOBS Act up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an EGC. Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair value of stock-based awards, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, income tax uncertainties, and certain accruals. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances change. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is maintained at high-credit-quality financial institutions; at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. All interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing cash balances are insured up to $250,000 at each financial institution. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company is subject to several risks common for early-stage biopharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, dependency on the clinical and commercial success of its product candidate, ability to obtain regulatory approval of its product candidate, the need for substantial additional financing to achieve its goals, uncertainty of broad adoption of its approved products, if any, by physicians and patients, significant competition and untested manufacturing capabilities. Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an entity where separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information on a company-wide basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The Company manages its business activities as a single entity and operates in one reportable segment.The CODM assesses the performance of its one reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on the loss from operations and net loss. The CODM utilizes loss from operations and net loss, as presented on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss, to evaluate the Company’s business plan, which includes clinical development roadmaps and long-range financial models as key inputs to decisions on resource allocation and its assessment of the performance of the business. Significant expenses within loss from operations and net loss include research and development and general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other segment items include depreciation expense and interest and dividend income as presented on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The accounting policies used to measure the segment’s profit and loss are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market funds. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures its stock-based awards granted to employees, consultants, and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair values of the awards and recognizes the compensation over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of stock-based payment awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The Company estimates the fair value of options granted by using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: <table cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; border-spacing: 0px;"><tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 0.25in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in">●</td><td style="text-align: justify">Expected Volatility—The Company estimated volatility for option grants by evaluating the historical volatility of a peer group of companies for the period immediately preceding the option grant for a term that is approximately equal to the options’ expected term.</td></tr></table> <table cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; border-spacing: 0px;"><tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 0.25in"></td><td style="width: 0.25in">●</td><td style="text-align: justify">Expected Term—The expected term of the Company’s options represents the period that the stock-based payment awards are expected to be outstanding.

Should an in-process equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.Acquisitions The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs, which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets. Acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination are accounted for under the acquisition method, which requires allocating the purchase price to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. In a business combination, any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. For asset acquisitions, a cost-accumulation model is used to determine the cost of an asset acquisition. Direct transaction costs are recognized as part of the cost of an asset acquisition. The Company also evaluates which elements of a transaction should be accounted for as a part of an asset acquisition and which should be accounted for separately. The cost of an asset acquisition, including transaction costs, is allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a relative fair value basis. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition. Any difference between the cost of an asset acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the non-monetary identifiable assets based on their relative fair values. When a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition includes an in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) asset, the IPR&D asset is only capitalized if it has an alternative future use other than in a particular research and development project. For an IPR&D asset to have an alternative future use: (a) the Company must reasonably expect that it will use the asset acquired in an alternative manner and anticipate economic benefit from that alternative use, and (b) the Company’s use of the asset acquired is not contingent on the further development of the asset subsequent to the acquisition date (that is, the asset can be used in an alternative manner in the condition in which it existed at the acquisition date). Otherwise, amounts allocated to IPR&D that have no alternative use are expensed to research and development. Asset acquisitions may include contingent consideration arrangements that encompass obligations to make future payments to sellers contingent upon the achievement of future financial targets. Contingent consideration is not recognized until all contingencies are resolved and the consideration is paid or probable of payment, at which point the consideration is allocated to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Management makes an assessment of the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the Company’s historical operating performance and net losses, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount, which is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which judgment occurs. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes.Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock or if-converted methods. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per common share is the same as diluted net loss per common share since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Shares of common stock subject to repurchase are excluded from the weighted-average shares. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events or circumstances from non-owner sources. Net loss and comprehensive loss were the same for the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements. Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of fees paid to other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Acquired intangible assets are expensed as research and development costs if, at the time of payment, the technology is under development; is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory agencies for marketing; has not reached technical feasibility; or otherwise has no foreseeable alternative future use. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are capitalized and then expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed. Patents Patent costs are comprised primarily of external legal fees, filing fees incurred to file patent applications, and periodic renewal fees to keep the patent in force. They are expensed as incurred as a component of general and administrative expenses.

Basis of PresentationThe accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.The Company’s accompanying financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are also unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.

LiquidityThe accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $2.5 million, which included $0.3 million of non-cash expenses. Cash used in operations totaled $3.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million, net working capital of $1.8 million, and an accumulated deficit of $41.5 million.The Company is projecting that its operating losses and expected capital needs will exceed its existing cash balances and cash expected to be generated from operations for the foreseeable future. In order to meet the Company’s expected obligations, management intends to raise additional funds through partnering, the sale of equity, and debt financings. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete partnering transactions or financings on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to meet its current operating and capital expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay or reduce the scope of its research programs and/or limit or cease its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Emerging Growth Company StatusAs an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), the Company may elect to take advantage of certain forms of relief from various reporting requirements that apply to public companies. The relief under the JOBS Act includes an extended transition period for implementing new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period and, as a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that implement accounting standards as of the effective dates for public companies. The Company may take advantage of the relief afforded under the JOBS Act up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an EGC.

Use of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair value of stock-based awards, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, income tax uncertainties, and certain accruals. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks and UncertaintiesFinancial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is maintained at high-credit-quality financial institutions; at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. All interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing cash balances are insured up to $250,000 at each financial institution. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.The Company is subject to several risks common for early-stage biopharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, dependency on the clinical and commercial success of its product candidate, ability to obtain regulatory approval of its product candidate, the need for substantial additional financing to achieve its goals, uncertainty of broad adoption of its approved products, if any, by physicians and patients, significant competition and untested manufacturing capabilities.

Segment ReportingOperating segments are defined as components of an entity where separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information on a company-wide basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The Company manages its business activities as a single entity and operates in one reportable segment.The CODM assesses the performance of its one reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on the loss from operations and net loss. The CODM utilizes loss from operations and net loss, as presented on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss, to evaluate the Company’s business plan, which includes clinical development roadmaps and long-range financial models as key inputs to decisions on resource allocation and its assessment of the performance of the business. Significant expenses within loss from operations and net loss include research and development and general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other segment items include depreciation expense and interest and dividend income as presented on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The accounting policies used to measure the segment’s profit and loss are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market funds.

Stock-Based CompensationThe Company measures its stock-based awards granted to employees, consultants, and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair values of the awards and recognizes the compensation over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of stock-based payment awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

Net Loss Per Common ShareBasic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock or if-converted methods. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per common share is the same as diluted net loss per common share since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Shares of common stock subject to repurchase are excluded from the weighted-average shares.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU aims to improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. In January 2025, the ASU was subsequently amended by ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date by which all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows: <table cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%"> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 0.25in; font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="width: 0.25in; font-size: 10pt">●</td> <td style="width: 0.6in; font-size: 10pt">Level 1 —</td> <td style="text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt">Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="font-size: 10pt">●</td> <td style="font-size: 10pt">Level 2 —</td> <td style="text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt">Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability.

As additional consideration, the eXIthera APA provides for contingent milestone payments by the Company to eXIthera upon achievement of development milestones in an amount not to exceed $15 million. <table cellpadding="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 79%; border-bottom: black 1.5pt solid; font-size: 10pt">Development Milestones </td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 1%; font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: black 1.5pt solid; width: 20%; text-align: center; font-size: 10pt">Milestone payment</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: #CCEEFF"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt">First Patient Dosed in Phase 2 Initiated with Frunexian or EP-7327</td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; font-size: 10pt">$500,000 per compound</td></tr> <tr style="background-color: white"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top; font-size: 10pt">First Patient Dosed in Phase 1 Initiated with EP-7327</td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: bottom; font-size: 10pt"></td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top; text-align: center; font-size: 10pt">$500,000 per compound</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: #CCEEFF"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt">First Patient Dosed in Phase 3 Initiated with Frunexian or EP-7327</td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; font-size: 10pt">$1,000,000 per compound</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: white"> <td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt">FDA Approval of New Drug Application for Frunexian or EP-7327</td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 10pt"> </td> <td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center; font-size: 10pt">$6,000,000 per compound</td></tr> </table> As additional consideration, the Company agreed to pay the eXIthera royalties equal to 2% of annual net sales of the pharmaceutical products containing any compounds that are subject to the eXIthera APA. In addition, the Company agreed to pay eXIthera 50% of all royalties received by the Company from the Haisco Licensing Agreement following the potential future commercialization of frunexian by Haisco. The contingent milestone payments and royalty payments are payable in cash, common stock, or in any combination thereof at the Company’s discretion. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the estimated fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified in-process research and development asset, the frunexian asset, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in accordance with the criteria under ASC 805-10-55-5C. The assets acquired in the transaction were measured based on the fair value of the consideration paid of $50,000 plus direct transaction costs of $151,216, as the fair value of the consideration paid was more readily determinable than the fair value of the assets acquired.

However, upon achievement or anticipated achievement of each milestone, the Company will recognize the related appropriate payment as additional research and development expense. Contingent consideration will not be recorded until it is probable that the milestone events will occur. Veralox Therapeutics Inc. On December 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Veralox APA”) with Veralox Therapeutics, Inc. (“Veralox”). Pursuant to the terms of the Veralox APA, the Company acquired all of the rights, title and interests in assets owned or held for use by it in connection with the compound known as CAD-1005 (“CAD-1005”), and all back-up and follow-on compounds, including the CAD-2000 series (the “Compounds”), including, without limitation, all intellectual property related to the Compounds, all inventory related to the Compounds, certain contracts including a license agreement, all Permits and other Governmental Authorizations and Books and Records (as such terms are defined in the Veralox APA), free and clear of any liens. In consideration of the purchase of the assets, the Company paid $200,000 at closing and assumed certain liabilities (as defined in the Veralox APA).

In addition, the Company acquired the assignment of an amended and restated exclusive license agreement (the “Old Dominion License Agreement”) between Veralox and Old Dominion University, as successor in interest to Eastern Virgina Medical School (the “Licensor”), pursuant to which the Licensor granted Veralox an exclusive worldwide license under the EVMS Patent Rights related to the development and commercialization of 4-((2-Hydroxy-3-MethoxyBenzyl)Amino) Benzenesulfonamide Derivatives as 12-LOX Inhibitors (collectively the “Assets”). Pursuant to the Old Dominion License Agreement, the Company will pay Licensor milestone payments in the aggregate amount of $300,000 upon regulatory approval to market a Licensed Product (as such term is defined in the Old Dominion License Agreement) in: (i) Japan or the European Union; and (ii) the United States, provided, however that irrespective of whether such milestones are met, such milestone payments will be due in 2031 and 2032, respectively. Additionally, the Company will pay to Licensor royalties of 2% on worldwide net sales of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service (as such term is defined in the Old Dominion License Agreement) less than or equal to $200,000,000 and royalties of 3% on worldwide sales greater than $200,000,000. Regardless of the commercialization status of any Licensed Product or Licensed Service, the Old Dominion License Agreement requires a minimum annual royalty payment to be paid to Licensor within (30) days of May 1st of each year beginning May 1, 2025, ranging between $10,000 and $50,000 per year. Such annual royalty payments have been waived by Licensor for fiscal years 2026, 2027 and 2028, with the first payment to be made by the Company due May 1, 2029. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, these milestones are not deemed probable, and therefore, no liability has been recognized.

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue a total of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, and 7,500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. 2025 Direct Registered Offering On December 15, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors. The agreement provided for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of: (i) in a registered direct offering, 207,374 shares (the “2025 Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “2025 Common Stock”), and, (ii) in a concurrent private placement, unregistered warrants (the “2025 Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 414,748 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “December 2025 Offering”).The offering price was $10.85 per 2025 Share. The December 2025 Offering closed on December 16, 2025. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $2.2 million. The 2025 Common Warrants have an exercise price of $10.60 per share. The shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2025 Common Warrants are referred to as the “2025 Common Warrant Shares.” The 2025 Common Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire two years following the effective date of the registration statement registering the resale of the 2025 Common Warrant Shares. The registration statement on Form S-1 went effective on December 31, 2025. H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“H.C.W.”) acted as the placement agent for the Company in connection with the December 2025 Offering, and as part of its compensation, the Company issued to designees of H.C.W. placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 13,479 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.5625. The Placement Agent Warrants expire on December 31, 2027, and contain customary provisions for anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price, including for stock splits, stock dividends, rights offerings, and pro rata distributions. The 2025 Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were classified as equity, and the offering costs were recorded as a debit to additional paid-in capital. ATM Facility During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold 168,690 shares of its common stock through its at-the-market (ATM) facility with H.C.W. These sales were made at a weighted average price of $8.10 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds of $1,366,536 and net proceeds of $1,302,565.

Note 7. Equity-Based Compensation The Company adopted the Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Initial Plan”), on July 11, 2022, which was later amended and restated on October 16, 2022. On October 16, 2022, the Board adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. 2022 Successor Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which is a successor to and continuation of the Initial Plan and became effective on January 19, 2023. Upon the effectiveness of the 2022 Plan, it replaced the Initial Plan, except with respect to awards outstanding under the Initial Plan, and no further awards will be available for grant under the Initial Plan. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares of common stock that could have been issued under the Initial Plan and 2022 Plan was initially 133,333 shares. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan initially automatically increased on January 1 of each calendar year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2033, to a number of shares of common stock equal to 20% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year; provided, however that the board of directors, or the compensation committee, may act prior to January 1 of a given calendar year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock. On January 1, 2024, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan increased to 173,636. On July 29, 2024, the Company held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2022 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be available for awards under the 2022 Plan by 133,333 shares to 306,969 shares and to amend the “evergreen provision” such that the number of reserved shares of common stock available for issuance each year will be 20% of: (i) the shares of common stock outstanding at December 31; plus (ii) the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and pre-funded warrants outstanding at December 31. As of March 31, 2026, 264,587 shares remained available for future issuance. All available shares may be utilized toward the grant of any award under the 2022 Plan. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Note 9. Leases, Commitments, and Contingencies Leases In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At lease inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is an operating or capital lease. For operating leases, the Company recognizes rent expense, inclusive of rent escalation, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet pursuant to the practical expedient available under ASC 842, but payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance and operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based upon the available information at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In October 2025, the Company amended its office space lease to extend the term by one additional year. The lease agreement (as amended in October 2025) has a term that extends through October 31, 2026. Operating lease expenses were $7,031 and $6,656 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash paid for the office lease was $7,031 and $6,656 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Future annual lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of March 31, 2026 were as follows: <table cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="width: 88%; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 1.5pt">2026</td><td style="width: 1%; padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: left">$</td><td style="width: 9%; border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: right">16,406</td><td style="width: 1%; padding-bottom: 1.5pt; text-align: left"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"> <td style="text-align: justify; padding-bottom: 2.5pt">Total lease payments</td><td style="padding-bottom: 2.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 4pt double; text-align: left">$</td><td style="border-bottom: Black 4pt double; text-align: right">16,406</td><td style="padding-bottom: 2.5pt; text-align: left"> </td></tr> </table> Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown, because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Indemnification In accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving in such capacity. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. There have been no claims to date, and the Company has a directors and officers liability insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future claims.

Note 10. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events that occurred through May 6, 2026, the date that the financial statements were issued, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to its disclosures in the financial statements except for the transactions described below. Warrant Inducement On April 1, 2026, the Company consummated a private placement offering (the “Warrant Inducement”), pursuant to which, in exchange for an investor’s exercise for cash of the Company’s warrants (“Existing Warrants”) to purchase 571,430 shares of common stock (the “Existing Warrant Shares”) at the reduced exercise price of $4.50 per share, in accordance with the terms of a warrant inducement letter agreement the Company entered into with an investor, dated March 31, 2026, the Company issued to such investor new unregistered Series B-1 common stock purchase warrants (the “Series B-1 Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 571,430 shares of common stock and new unregistered Series B-2 common stock purchase warrants (the “Series B-2 Warrants” and, together with the Series B-1 Warrants, the “New Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 571,430 shares of common stock. The New Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The Series B-1 Warrants and the Series B-2 Warrants are exercisable for a term of five (5) years and eighteen (18) months, respectively, from the date that a resale registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective by the SEC. The Resale Registration Statement was declared effective on April 29, 2026. Upon consummation of the Warrant Inducement on April 1, 2026, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by the Company. As compensation for H.C.W. serving as the Company’s placement agent in connection with the Warrant Inducement, H.C.W. received a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received upon exercise of the Existing Warrants and the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 37,143 shares of common stock to designees of H.C.W., which warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series B-1 Warrants, except that they have an exercise price of $5.625 per share, which is equal to 125% of the exercise price of the New Warrants. Stockholders’ Equity In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,797,115 as of March 31, 2026, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Subject to Nasdaq response, the Company believes that it has regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as a result of its receipt of net proceeds of $2.3 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants in connection with the Warrant Inducement consummated on April 1, 2026, as described above in this Note 10.
