The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2026.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026, and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these financial statements, management used significant estimates in the following areas, among others: recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment, determining the incremental borrowing rate for calculating lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets and finance lease assets, clinical trial accruals, accrual estimates for all contingent value rights (“CVRs”), and the value attributed to employee stock options and other stock-based awards. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that they appropriately reflect changes in the business or as new information becomes available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information internally provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s CODMs are (i) the Chief Executive Officer and (ii) the President and Chief Financial Officer. The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company that operates as a single operating segment and has one reportable segment. Refer to Note 13, Segment Information, for further information related to the Company’s segment.

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and are stated at fair value.

Cash equivalents consist of money market funds in which the carrying value equals the fair value (see Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments). Restricted cash includes $0.3 million in cash deposits the Company maintains with its bank as collateral for the irrevocable letters of credit related to its lease obligations.

Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $124.0 million in excess of the federally insured limits. The Company places its cash in financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality.

In conjunction with the reverse merger, the Company entered into a CVR Agreement on December 18, 2023 with the Rights Agent named therein (the “CVR Agreement”) prior to Closing. Included in the CVR Agreement are three different types of CVRs: (i) the Lease CVR, (ii) the Intellectual Property CVR, and (iii) the Sales Tax CVR (each as defined in the CVR Agreement). The Company evaluated each of the CVRs to determine if they qualified as derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and concluded that since certain scope exceptions were met, the CVRs did not qualify as derivatives. Instead, the Company records a contingent consideration liability associated with the CVRs when payments are probable and estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. In assessing whether payments are probable and estimable, the Company considers the existence of or ability to enter into agreements with third parties or government agencies and the timing of potential payments. Refer to Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion on the CVRs.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the net deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than not, will be realized. No provision for federal or state income taxes was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as the Company incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company records the amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions for which it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the financial statements. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions is recorded as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In periods of losses, diluted net loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic net loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive. Outstanding pre-funded warrants as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were 6,792,559 and 6,124,996, respectively. Pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding as of their issuance date and are included in basic and diluted net loss per share because they are fully vested and exercisable for nominal cash consideration.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on its condensed financial statements or disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. Public entities are required to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations such as the following expenses: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to clarify the effective date. The updated effective date for the Company to adopt ASU 2024-03 is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (“ASU 2025-06”) which removes all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. Cost capitalization will now begin solely when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software used to perform its intended function (referred to as the probable-to-complete recognition threshold). The effective date for the Company to adopt ASU 2025-06 is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
