Z SQUARED INC. (formerly known as Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2026 (unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
General. The registrant (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) was originally incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on November 27, 2018 under the name Bull Horn Holdings Corp. On October 27, 2022, Bull Horn Holdings Corp. domesticated from the British Virgin Islands to the State of Delaware. On October 28, 2022, in connection with the closing of a prior business combination, the Company changed its corporate name from Bull Horn Holdings Corp. to “Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.” On April 24, 2026, in connection with the closing of the business combination described in Notes 16 and 17 (the “Merger”), the Company changed its corporate name from “Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.” to “Z Squared Inc.”
Nature of Business During the Period Covered. Throughout the three months ended March 31, 2026, and prior to the closing of the Merger and the related Spin-Out described in Notes 16 and 17, the Company operated as a biopharmaceutical and technology company. The Company's biopharmaceutical division focused on developing innovative cell therapy platforms for cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. The Company's technology division focused on AI-powered marketing software and robotic process automation tools designed to optimize business processes and improve operational efficiency. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as they existed during, and as of the end of, the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, reflecting the biopharmaceutical and technology business as then conducted.
Subsidiaries During the Period Covered. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company conducted its operations through its direct and indirect subsidiaries SNAP Biosciences, Inc. and GEAR Therapeutics, Inc. (each majority owned), and Coeptis Therapeutics, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, LLC (each wholly owned).
Subsequent Change in Business; Reverse Acquisition Accounting. On April 24, 2026, the Company completed the Merger with Z Squared Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Z Squared”), and effected a related Spin-Out of substantially all of its biopharmaceutical operations other than those conducted through GEAR Therapeutics, Inc. As a result of the Merger and the Spin-Out, (i) the Company's principal business following the closing is the digital asset mining operations conducted through Z Squared and its subsidiaries; (ii) the Company's interests in Coeptis Therapeutics, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, LLC, and SNAP Biosciences, Inc. (collectively, the “Spin-Out Subsidiaries”) are no longer held by the Company; and (iii) the Company's interest in GEAR Therapeutics, Inc. continues to be held by the Company. The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805-40, with Z Squared as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the accounting acquiree, as disclosed in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-288329) declared effective on December 23, 2025. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 represent the historical financial statements of the legal acquirer in the Merger; the Company's financial statements for periods ending on or after the closing date of the Merger will reflect the operations of Z Squared as the accounting acquirer and the net assets of the Company (other than those of the Spin-Out Subsidiaries) recorded at their acquisition-date fair value. See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information regarding the Merger, the Spin-Out, and the related accounting treatment.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year, and in particular, as further described in Notes 16 and 17 and in the “Recent Business Combination” and “Basis of MD&A Discussion” sections of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report, the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company in future periods will differ materially from those presented herein as a result of the Merger and the Spin-Out. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 that was filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries identified above under “Subsidiaries During the Period Covered.” All material intercompany accounts, balances, and transactions have been eliminated. As described under “Subsequent Change in Business; Reverse Acquisition Accounting” above and in Notes 16 and 17, certain of these subsidiaries (the Spin-Out Subsidiaries) were distributed to the Company's stockholders in connection with the Spin-Out, which occurred subsequent to March 31, 2026 and is therefore not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification – The Company reclassified certain amounts of total stockholders’ equity – noncontrolling interests, net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and accumulated deficit from prior periods. These presentation changes did not affect total stockholders’ equity or net loss.
Employee and Non-Employee Share-Based Compensation – The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10, Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options equity awards issued to employees and non-employees based on estimated fair values.
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes share-based award forfeitures as they occur.
The Company estimates the fair value of granted option equity awards using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on volatility of the Company. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated for options granted to employees and directors using the “simplified” method. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the options granted and the results of operations of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The following standards have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") but have not yet been adopted by the Company. The Company is evaluating each standard's applicability to its operations and the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-04 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion rather than a debt extinguishment. The amendments replace the prior requirement that all equity securities issuable under the original conversion terms must be included in an inducement offer, clarifying that induced conversion accounting may also apply to certain settlements involving cash conversion features. The assessment of the form and amount of consideration in an inducement offer is performed as of the date the offer is accepted by the holder. The ASU is applicable for smaller reporting entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and should be adopted, if applicable, beginning first quarter of 2027.
| 7 |
ASU 2025-04 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer – In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, which clarifies the accounting for share-based payment awards granted by an entity as consideration payable to a customer in conjunction with the sale of goods or services. The amendments revise the definition of "performance condition" to explicitly address vesting conditions based on a customer's volume or monetary amount of purchases, eliminate the policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for service conditions, and clarify that the variable consideration constraint under Topic 606 does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer measured under Topic 718. The ASU is applicable for smaller reporting entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and should be adopted, if applicable, beginning first quarter of 2027.
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) to depict the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| i. | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer | |
| ii. | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract | |
| iii. | Determination of the transaction price | |
| iv. | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| v. | Recognition of revenue, when, or as, the company satisfies the performance obligations. |
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company generates revenue from its customers by 1) performing data research for its customers and delivering advertising campaigns via cold emails and social media sites, and 2) providing webinars for its customers to a targeted business-to-business audience. The fee for these services is based on observable prices explicitly negotiated between the Company and the customer. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the good or service is delivered to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of the advertising campaign or webinar and there is a transfer of control to the customer.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenues from delivering advertising campaigns via cold emails and social media sites were recognized from one customer who accounted for 100% of this revenue. Revenue was recognized at the point of delivery to the customers in the amount of $113,771, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has recorded customer deposits in the amount of $485,684.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenues from delivering advertising campaigns via cold emails and social media sites were recognized from two customers who accounted for 100% of this revenue.

Investments and Marketable Securities – The Company classifies its investments and marketable securities in accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, and ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, as applicable. Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in net income. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, the Company applies the measurement alternative, recording these investments at cost, adjusted for impairments or observable price changes from transactions involving similar securities.
Marketable securities are categorized as trading securities and are thus marked to market and stated at fair value. Fair value is determined using the quoted closing bid prices and is recorded as a Level 1 asset. Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are recognized as incurred in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net changes in unrealized gains and losses are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the current period.
Going Concern – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financials or establish itself as a profitable business. At March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $113,870,346, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had a net loss of $4,020,896. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to operations include raising additional capital through sales of equity or debt securities as may be necessary to pursue its business plans and sustain operations until such time as the Company can achieve profitability. Management believes that additional financing as necessary will result in improved operations and cash flow. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.
NOTE 3 – CO-DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Purple Biotech (“Purple”) to market, distribute, and sell the Consensi product (the “Product”) on an exclusive basis within the United States and Puerto Rico. In September of 2021, the Company executed a license termination agreement with Purple to cease all efforts for sales and promotion of the Product in the United States and Puerto Rico. The termination included (i) issuance of $1,500,000 of convertible debt due in February 2023 to satisfy amounts owed for the license, (ii) the issuance of warrants (See Note 7, Capital Structure) and (iii) transfer of inventory ownership back to Purple. In conjunction with this termination, the Company also terminated its marketing agreement with a third party for the Product’s sales and promotion. On July 14, 2023, the Company and Purple executed an amendment to revise the note’s payment schedule, extending the maturity date to March 31, 2024. On June 19, 2024, the Company and Purple executed another amendment to extend the maturity date to August 31, 2024. The outstanding principal balance due under the convertible note at December 31, 2024 was $218,750. The Company paid the outstanding $218,750 principal balance in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the convertible note was considered fully satisfied as of March 31, 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company and Vy-Gen-Bio, Inc. (“Vy-Gen”) entered into agreements to jointly develop and commercialize two Vy-Gen product candidates, CD38-GEAR-NK and CD38-Diagnostic (the “CD38 Assets”). The Company paid $1,750,000 and issued promissory notes totaling $3,250,000 to Vy-Gen in accordance with the agreements. The collaboration arrangement provides the right for the Company to participate, under the direction of a joint steering committee, in the development and commercialization of the CD38 Assets and a 50/50 profit share, with the profit share subject to contingent automatic downward adjustment up to 25% upon an event of default in connection with the promissory notes. The Company capitalized $5,000,000 to be amortized over a five-year period in which the CD38 Assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. The promissory notes were paid in full in 2022.
| 9 |
The Company made certain judgments as the basis in determining the accounting treatment of these options. The CD38 Assets represent a platform technology and a diagnostic tool which have multiple applications and uses. Both projects are intended to be used in more than one therapy or diagnostic option. For example, GEAR-NK is a technology which allows for the gene editing of human natural killer cells, so that these cells can no longer bind and be destroyed by targeted monoclonal antibody treatments. The GEAR-NK technology can be modified to work concomitantly with many different monoclonal antibody treatments in which there are currently over 100 approved by the FDA. Anti- CD38 is only the first class of monoclonal antibody treatments being developed under the GEAR-NK platform. Therefore, the pursuit of FDA approval for the use of CD38 assets for at least one indication or medical device approval is at least reasonably expected. Further, as the diagnostic asset may be used as an in vitro technology, it could be classified as a medical device, and therefore toxicity studies would not be a contingency to be resolved before reasonably establishing future value assumptions. In addition, there is perceived value in the CD38 assets, based on publicly disclosed current business deals in cell therapies, the developing market for these innovative technologies, and current interest from third parties in these technologies. The Company may sell or license its rights to another party, with the written consent of Vy-Gen, which cannot be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, the Company believes that any negative results from ongoing development of a single therapy or use, would not result in abandoning the project. Given these considerations, The Company has determined that these options have alternative future use and should be recorded as assets pursuant to ASC 730-10-25-2, Research and Development.
Related to the joint development, the Company, under the direction of the joint steering committee, is assessing market opportunities, intellectual property protection, and potential regulatory strategies for the CD38 Assets. Vy-Gen is responsible for development activities conducted and overseen by the scientists at Karolinska Institute. The agreement does not currently require additional payments for research and development costs by the Company and no additional payments are required upon development or regulatory milestones.
In March 2025, the Company reached an agreement with Vy-Gen to successfully license the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to the GEAR™ (Gene Edited Antibody Resistant) Cell Therapy Platform, representing a first-in-class approach to modifying potent cancer-targeting immune cells to optimize the likelihood of deep remission in patients with hematologic malignancies and other cancers. Coeptis had previously held limited co-development rights to GEAR. As part of this exclusive GEAR license agreement with VyGen-Bio, Inc., the Company paid a total of $400,000 for license fees during the year ended December 31, 2025, and committed to pay other performance-based fees, milestone and royalty payments in 2026 and beyond.
The total gross capitalized co-development rights recorded was $5,291,667, with accumulated amortization of $4,987,500 and $4,737,500, resulting in a net carrying amount of $304,167 and $554,167 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES
In September 2021, as part of a termination of a license agreement with Purple (see Note 3, Co-Development Options), the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 that was payable on or before the maturity date in February 2023, bearing interest of 5% per annum and convertible in whole or in part at any time by Purple into shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price is $5 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments under such terms and conditions as agreed between the parties. The Company may prepay the principal amount of the note plus accrued and unpaid interest at any time prior to the maturity date. On July 14, 2023, the Company and Purple executed an amendment to revise the note’s payment schedule, extending the maturity date to March 31, 2024. On June 19, 2024, the Company and Purple executed another amendment to extend the maturity date to August 31, 2024. The outstanding principal balance due under the convertible note at December 31, 2024 was $218,750. The Company paid the outstanding $218,750 principal balance in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the convertible note is considered satisfied.
In October 2022, in connection with the Company’s prior business combination, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with an unrelated third party in the principal amount of $350,000 with no accruing interest and was due on October 28, 2023 for legal services rendered to the Company. The noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Company, at any time prior to, as of or following the maturity date, to require that all or any portion of the principal amount not then repaid be converted, without any further action on the part of the noteholder, into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The conversion price as set forth by the note is equal to $10.00 per share, provided that the conversion price shall be subject to a one-time adjustment on January 3, 2023, with the conversion price adjustable to a price equal to the thirty-day volume weighted average price of the stock as traded on the Nasdaq. However, the conversion price following such adjustment shall not be lower than a floor of $5.00 per share nor greater than $10.00 per share. Upon full conversion of the remaining principal amount due, the note will, for all purposes be deemed cancelled and all obligations shall be deemed paid in full. On October 27, 2023, a $200,000 payment was made, and on December 15, 2023, another $50,000 payment was made. On June 25, 2024, the Company and the unrelated third party signed an amendment to the note that extended the maturity date to July 31, 2024. The outstanding balance due under the convertible note at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $100,000. The note was in default as of March 31, 2026.

Yorkville Convertible Notes
On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell Yorkville up to $20,000,000 of its shares of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,304,758 (the “Pre-Paid Advance”). The Convertible Note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and is convertible in whole or in part at any time by Yorkville into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price determined based on the lower of (i) $1.00 per common share (the “Fixed Price”), or (ii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the “Variable Price”), but which Variable Price shall not be lower than the floor price of $0.80 (the “Floor Price”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount in the amount of $76,555 for the Convertible Note.
On January 2, 2025, Yorkville elected to convert a portion of the outstanding principal balance on YA Note-1, the convertible promissory note with an outstanding principal balance of $1,304,758. Yorkville converted $219,758 of the principal balance and $19,446 of accrued interest into 81,877 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.92 per share. After conversion, the principal balance of the note has a remaining balance of $1,085,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, Yorkville elected to convert the remainder of the note, including $1,085,000 in principal and $33,059 in accrued interest, into 151,623 shares at a conversion price of $7.37 per share.
The SEPA is an equity-linked contract that does not qualify for equity classification and is accounted for as a derivative liability recognized at fair value. Any changes in fair value between the carrying amount of the forward issuance contracts and the settlement amounts will be recognized in other (expense) income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the SEPA was $0. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability in the amount of $405,995, in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The derivative liability is accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 480 and is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The derivative liability was valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the derivative liability is the step factors input, assumed price movement, and probabilities assigned to them.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no warrant liabilities outstanding as of March 31, 2026, and no activity during the three months then ended.
On January 16, 2025, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville”), in the original principal amount of $1,100,000. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of the note at an annual rate equal to 8%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the note. The maturity date of the note is December 31, 2025. Yorkville may convert the note into shares of Common Stock at any time at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $20.00 (the “Fixed Price”) or (ii) a price per share equal to 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date of the note (the “Variable Price”), but which Variable Price shall not be lower than a floor price of $1.00 per share (the “Floor Price”). The Company internally refers to this note as YA Note-2.
Additionally, the Company, at its option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the note at a redemption amount equal to the outstanding principal balance being repaid or redeemed, plus a 5% prepayment premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest; provided that (i) the Company provides Yorkville with no less than ten trading days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) on the date such notice is issued, the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Price.
An “Amortization Event” will occur under the terms of the Promissory Note if (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days, or (ii) the Company has issued to Yorkville, pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the note and any integrated transactions, in excess of 99% of the Common Shares available under the Exchange Cap.
In July 2025, Yorkville elected to convert the entire outstanding principal balance on YA Note-2, $1,100,000, along with $43,397 of accrued interest into 158,582 shares of common stock at a weighted-average conversion price of $7.21 per share. After conversion, the principal balance of the note had a remaining balance of $0.

NOTE 5 – SBA LOAN PAYABLE
Loans under the CARES Act -- On July 8, 2020, the Company received a loan of $150,000 from the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. Proceeds are intended to be used for working capital purposes. Interest on the EIDL loan accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and interest payments are due monthly in the amount of $731. Each payment will be applied first to interest accrued to the date of receipt of each payment, and the balance, if any, will be applied to principal. The Company began making interest payments in January 2023. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the promissory note. The balance of the loan is $150,000 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY WARRANTS
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were (i) 375,000 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) outstanding that were issued as part of Bull Horn’s November 2020 initial public offering, which warrants are exercisable in the aggregate to acquire 187,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $230.00 per share, and (ii) 187,500 private warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) outstanding that were issued to our sponsor Bull Horn Holdings Sponsor LC and the underwriters in Bull Horn’s initial public offering in November 2020, which warrants are exercisable in the aggregate to 187,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $230.00 per share. The amount of warrants and related exercise price were adjusted for the Company’s 20-1 reverse stock split effective December 31, 2024. The Private Placement Warrants became exercisable on the consummation of our Business Combination in October 2022. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. With respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants, the class A warrants and the class B warrants during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement related to the issuance of such shares underlying the applicable warrants, the holder of any applicable warrants may exercise its warrant on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:
| · | at any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable, | |
| · | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder, | |
| · | if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders, and | |
| · | if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. |
If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described above, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
| 13 |
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants only allow the holder thereof to one ordinary share. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Within ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s ordinary share. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary share if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s ordinary share in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that certain warrant provisions preclude equity treatment as by ASC Section 815-10-15.
The Company accounts for its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities as set forth in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F. See below for details about the methodology and valuation of the Warrants.
The following table presents information about the Company’s derivative liability warrant that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Schedule of fair value hierarchy | ||||||||||
| Description | Level | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Warrant Liability – Public Warrants | 1 | $ | 92,250 | $ | 81,000 | |||||
| Warrant Liability – Private Placement Warrants | 3 | 95,250 | 86,625 | |||||||
| Total | $ | 187,500 | $ | 167,625 | ||||||
The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within derivative liability warrants in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability warrants are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Private Placement Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

On December 28, 2023, the Company granted pre-funded warrants exercisable to acquire up to 60,000 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $1,200,000. The pre-funded common stock purchase warrants can be exercised at a price of $0.0001 per share, with no expiration date. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company and the third-party borrower agreed to amend the note as a result of the decline in the publicly traded common stock price. The amount of pre-funded warrants exercisable to acquire up to 60,000 shares of common stock was amended to 100,000 shares of common stock, and the total principal balance of the note agreement was increased from $1,000,000 to $1,100,000. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant was partially pre-funded in connection with $100,000 and a $1,100,000 subscription receivable at a 6% per annum interest rate due on November 29, 2024.

Voting. On any matter to be acted upon or considered by the stockholders of the Company, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis (after applying the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations described below).
Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Option Exchange Program
On February 5, 2026, the Company completed an option exchange program pursuant to which eligible employees were offered the opportunity to exchange certain outstanding stock options that were out-of-the-money for shares of restricted common stock (the “Exchange”). The Exchange was treated as a modification of the original awards under ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation.
In connection with the Exchange, the Company recognized all previously unrecognized compensation expense attributable to the original awards through the modification date of February 5, 2026. Additionally, the vesting conditions applicable to the newly issued restricted common stock were accelerated, with all remaining vesting requirements deemed satisfied as of the modification date. The Company measured the incremental compensation cost arising from the modification as the excess of the fair value of the replacement awards over the fair value of the original awards immediately prior to the modification date and recognized such incremental cost in full as of February 5, 2026, as a result of the accelerated vesting.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense related to the Exchange of approximately $1,079,436, which is included in stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of this modification, the Company recognized additional stock-based compensation expense equal to the difference between (i) the compensation cost based on the initially expected fair value of the Third-Party Shares and (ii) the compensation cost based on the actual fair value of the Third-Party Shares received. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized incremental compensation expense of approximately $315,888 related to this modification, which is included in stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the Private Company Shares was determined to be approximately $1,663,580 as of the exercise date. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in connection with this exercise in accordance with ASC 718, with the amount determined based on the grant-date fair value of the exercised options. The Private Company Shares received are reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value of $1,663,580 as of March 31, 2026 and are classified as investments.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement – On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into the SEPA with Yorkville pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $20,000,000 of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville pursuant to which it will register the resale of shares of common stock issued to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA. Sales of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville in certain circumstances as described below.
Each advance (each, an “Advance”) the Company requests in writing to Yorkville under the SEPA (notice of such request, an “Advance Notice”) may be for a number of shares of common stock up to such amount as is equal to 100% of the average daily volume traded of the common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date the Company requests each Advance. The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 95% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to Yorkville. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.
| 20 |
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) December 1, 2027, provided that the Convertible Note has been fully repaid or (ii) the date on which the Company shall have made full payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to Yorkville pursuant to the Convertible Note. The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.
Any purchase under an Advance would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville shall not purchase or acquire any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of common stock or any shares that, aggregated with shares issued under all other earlier Advances, would exceed 19.99% of all shares of common stock outstanding on the date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules.
In connection with the execution of the SEPA, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee of $200,000 to Yorkville, payable as follows: (i) $80,000 payable when the SEPA was entered into, in the form of the issuance of 20,000 shares of common stock, representing $80,000 divided by the closing price as of the trading day immediately prior to the date of the SEPA, and (ii) $120,000 payable in cash or by way of an Advance on the date upon which the Company has first received Advances in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000.
Additionally, Yorkville agreed to advance to the Company, in exchange for the Convertible Note, an aggregate principal amount of $1,304,758 (see Note 4 for a description of the Convertible Note). At any time while the SEPA is in place that there is a balance outstanding under the Convertible Note, Yorkville may deliver a notice (an “Investor Notice”) to the Company to cause an Advance Notice to be deemed delivered to Yorkville and the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to Yorkville pursuant to an Advance. Yorkville may select the amount of the Advance in an amount not to exceed the balance owed under the Convertible Note outstanding on the date of delivery of such Investor Notice. The shares will be issued and sold to Yorkville pursuant to an Investor Notice at a per share price equal to the conversion price that would be applicable to the amount of the Advance selected by Yorkville if such amount were to be converted as of the date of delivery of the Investor Notice. Yorkville will pay the purchase price for such shares to be issued pursuant to the Investor Notice by offsetting the amount of the purchase price to be paid by Yorkville against an amount outstanding under the Yorkville Note.
Additionally, the Company, at its option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Convertible Note at a redemption amount equal to the outstanding principal balance being repaid or redeemed, plus a 5% prepayment premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest; provided that (i) the Company provides Yorkville with no less than ten trading days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) on the date such notice is issued, the VWAP of the common stock is less than the Fixed Price.
Throughout the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, in connection with the SEPA, the Company issued 39,273 and 81,877 shares of common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $504,254 and $239,203, respectively.

Also in May 2025, the Company’s subsidiary, SNAP Biosciences, entered into a License Agreement with Monarch Therapeutics. The agreement grants SNAP Biosciences access to Monarch’s small-molecule adaptor-based technology platform for use with SNAP-CAR. Under the terms of the agreement, SNAP Biosciences agreed to pay to Monarch a $50,000 upfront payment, a $10,000 annual license fee, and future success-based milestone payments.
In September 2023, the Company expanded its exclusive license agreement with the University of Pittsburgh to include the SNAP-CAR technology platform in natural killer (NK) cells. The Company agreed to pay $2,000 to amend the agreement.
Deverra Therapeutics, Inc. – On August 16, 2023, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing arrangement (the “License Agreement”) with Deverra Therapeutics Inc. (“Deverra”), pursuant to which the Company completed the exclusive license of key patent families and related intellectual property related to a proprietary allogeneic stem cell expansion and directed differentiation platform for the generation of multiple distinct immune effector cell types, including natural killer (NK) and monocyte/macrophages. The License Agreement provides the Company with exclusive rights to use the license patents and related intellectual property in connection with development and commercialization efforts in the defined field of use (the “Field”) of (a) use of unmodified NK cells as anti-viral therapeutic for viral infections, and/or as a therapeutic approach for treatment of relapsed/refractory AML and high-risk MDS; (b) use of Deverra’s cell therapy platform to generate NK cells for the purpose of engineering with Coeptis SNAP-CARs and/or Coeptis GEAR Technology; and (c) use of Deverra’s cell therapy platform to generate myeloid cells for the purpose of engineering with the Company’s current SNAP-CAR and GEAR technologies. In support of the exclusive license, the Company also entered into with Deverra (i) an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets from Deverra, including but not limited to two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications and two Phase 1 clinical trial stage programs (NCT04901416, NCT04900454) investigating infusion of DVX201, an unmodified natural killer (NK) cell therapy generated from pooled donor CD34+ cells, in hematologic malignancies and viral infections and (ii) a non-exclusive sublicense agreement (the “Sublicense Agreement”), in support of the assets obtained by the exclusive license, pursuant to which the Company sublicensed from Deverra certain assets which Deverra has rights to pursuant a license agreement (“FHCRC Agreement”) by and between Deverra and The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (“FHCRC”).
In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Sublicense Agreement, the Company agreed to pay FHCRC certain specified contingent running royalty payments and milestone payments under the FHCRC Agreement, in each case to the extent such payments are triggered by the Company’s development activities.
Registration Rights – Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on October 29, 2020, the holders of the founder shares, the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities, and any securities issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and underlying securities) would be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. The registration rights agreement did not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company would bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Finder’s Fee and Indemnity Agreement – The Company entered into a finder’s fee and indemnity agreement with a third party, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay a fee in connection with the successful introduction and execution of the SEPA. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was obligated to pay a 4% fee upon the closing of the net funding amount of $1,350,000, equaling $54,000, and then 6% of the total cash consideration received by the Company or the Company’s creditors in connection with any follow-on financing, and 0.5% on the amount of any drawdown made by the Company on the SEPA. The Company also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the third party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, any and all legal and other actions caused by or related to the third party’s engagement with the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the Company paid a total of $103,500 to the third party in connection with this finder’s fee and indemnity agreement recorded in professional services expense. $54,000 was paid in January 2024 and $49,500 was paid in February 2025.
Master Services Agreements – On December 31, 2024 and during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into one-year agreements with six customers to provide access to the NexGenAI Affiliates Network platform. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company is obligated to deliver platform access and related services over the contract period beginning in 2025. Revenue recognition will commence upon the start of services in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognized $113,771 and $62,874 in revenue in connection with these contracts during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, $599,455 remained in customer deposits. As of March 31, 2026, $485,684 remained in customer deposits and is expected to be recognized as revenue throughout the rest of 2026.
GEAR™ Cell Therapy Platform – In March 2025, the Company reached an agreement with Vy-Gen to successfully license the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to the GEAR™ Cell Therapy Platform, representing a first-in-class approach to modifying potent cancer-targeting immune cells to optimize the likelihood of deep remission in patients with hematologic malignancies and other cancers. Coeptis had previously held limited co-development rights to GEAR. As part of this exclusive GEAR license agreement with VyGen-Bio, Inc., the Company paid a total of $400,000 for license fees during the year ended December 31, 2025, which the Company recorded as research and development expense, and committed to pay other performance-based fees, milestone and royalty payments in 2026 and beyond.
NOTE 11 – 401(k) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
The Company sponsors a qualified profit-sharing plan with a 401(k) feature that covers all eligible employees. Participation in the 401(k) feature of the plan is voluntary. Participating employees may defer up to 100% of their compensation up to the maximum prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The plan permits for employee elective deferrals but has no contribution requirements for the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no employer contributions were made.
NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no income tax expense or benefit was recognized. The Company’s deferred tax assets are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets since it has not yet achieved sustained profitable operations. As a result, the Company has not recorded any income tax benefit since its inception.
NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
In September 2023, the Company entered into a transaction with AG Bio Life Capital I LP (“AG”), a Delaware limited partnership, where an employee of the Company is the general partner. The Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares (pre-reverse stock split) of common stock of the Company (“AG Shares”) to AG, in exchange for $600,000, consisting of $100,000 payable in cash and the balance payable under a promissory note (“AG Note”). The principal amount including all interest under the AG Note is due and payable by AG no later than August 30, 2024 (the “AG Maturity Date”). The outstanding unpaid principal balance of the AG Note bears interest commencing as of the Company’s next registration statement at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum, which interest rate will increase to eighteen (18%) percent per annum in the event an event of default occurs under the AG Note, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. AG has the option of repaying the obligations under the AG Note in advance of the AG Maturity Date, in whole or in part, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice delivered to the Company. AG has certain obligations to contribute the proceeds of the sale of its AG Shares to the Company, in the event that any AG Shares are sold prior to the AG Maturity Date. On August 12, 2024, AG transferred and assigned $522,667 to the Company, the sum of principal and accrued interest owed, of shares of common stock in a privately held company. As a result of this assignment agreement, the AG Note is considered paid in full, and $522,667 is recorded as an investment at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
| 25 |
As of March 31, 2026, the Company holds investments in certain privately held companies, recorded as investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each hold ownership interests in these privately held companies. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s carrying value of these investments was $12,159,346 and $6,860,083, respectively.
NOTE 14 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On December 19, 2024, the Company acquired the assets of NexGenAI Affiliates Network Platform (“NexGenAI”), from the seller NexGenAI Solutions Group, Inc., which contains AI-powered marketing software and robotic process automation capabilities. The acquired assets include intellectual property, a domain name and associated website, and the technology stack as defined in the agreement. As consideration for the purchase, the Company paid the seller 187,500 shares of common stock, or $541,875. In connection with the purchase, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with the seller, for website development services and for services to enhance the existing technology.
The Company accounted for the NexGenAI transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Asset Acquisitions, and recorded as intangible assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of amortization, in the amount of $316,094 and $361,250 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of $45,156 and $45,156 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
NOTE 15 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by management, namely the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of an organization, in order to determine operating and resource allocation decisions. By this definition, the Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. Effective in 2024, the Company began operating in two segments: Biotechnology and Technology. Prior to 2024, the Company did not report operating segments.
Biotechnology Segment: This segment is non-revenue generating and incurs expenses by developing its biotechnology product pipeline. The Biotechnology Segment had total assets of $18,273,736 and $13,783,575 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Technology Segment: This segment is revenue generating and incurs expenses by acquiring technology assets to support and enhance operational capabilities through advanced technologies. The Technology Segment had total assets of $1,512,957 and $2,370,346 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company believes that this structure reflects its current operational and financial management, and that it provides the best structure for the Company to focus on growth opportunities while maintaining financial discipline. The factors used to identify the Biotechnology and Technology operating segments were the difference in future potential revenue streams and customer base for each segment, the reporting structure for operational and performance information within the Company, and management’s decision to organize the Company around the different future potential revenue generating activities of the segments.
Segment information relating to the Company’s two operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

NOTE 16 – MERGER AGREEMENT
On April 25, 2025, the Company (“Coeptis” or the “Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CP Merger Sub Inc., a Wyoming corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeptis (“Merger Sub”), and Z Squared Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Z Squared”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Z Squared (the “Merger”) and (ii) Coeptis will immediately prior to the Merger effect a spin out of its biotechnology operations (the “Spin Out” and, together with Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with Z squared continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeptis.
In the Merger, all shares of Z Squared common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than those properly exercising any applicable dissenters rights under Wyoming law), will be converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) and (ii) any other outstanding securities with the right to convert into or acquire equity securities of Z Squared will be terminated. At the Closing, Coeptis will change its name as mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and Z Squared. The Merger closed on April 24, 2026, subsequent to the balance sheet date covered by this Quarterly Report. See Note 17 – Subsequent Events.
In connection with the Spin Out, all of Coeptis’ assets comprising its biotechnology business will be assigned and contributed prior to Closing to one or more Spin Out Subsidiaries, which will then spin out to Coeptis’ stockholders of record on the record date established for the Coeptis Special Meeting (as defined below).
The aggregate Merger Consideration received by Z Squared security holders from Coeptis at the Closing will be a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that represents at Closing the Applicable Percentage of Purchaser’s issued and outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock as calculated on a Fully-Diluted Basis.
NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has performed a review of all events and transactions occurring after March 31, 2026 for items requiring recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, noting the following subsequent events.
Completion of Business Combination. On April 24, 2026, the Company (then named Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.) completed the business combination contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 25, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CP Merger Sub Inc., a Wyoming corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Z Squared Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Z Squared”). At the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub merged with and into Z Squared, with Z Squared surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company changed its corporate name from “Coeptis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.” to “Z Squared Inc.”
| 27 |
At the Effective Time, each share of Z Squared common stock, par value $0.001 per share, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in accordance with the share-exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement. As aggregate consideration for the Merger, the former Z Squared stockholders collectively received 43,877,497 shares of the Company's common stock, representing the Applicable Percentage (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of the closing.
Commencing on April 27, 2026, the Company's common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the new ticker symbol “ZSQR” (previously “COEP”).
Spin-Out of Certain Biotechnology Operations. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the Company effected a spin-out (the “Spin-Out”) of certain of its biotechnology operations. The Company contributed substantially all of the assets, liabilities, and equity interests comprising its biopharmaceutical operations conducted through Coeptis Therapeutics, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, LLC, and the Company's 73% interest in SNAP Biosciences, Inc. (collectively, the “Spin-Out Subsidiaries”) to one or more newly-formed spin-out subsidiaries, the equity of which was then distributed to the Company's stockholders of record as of the applicable record date established for the Spin-Out. As a result of the Spin-Out, the Spin-Out Subsidiaries are no longer part of the Company's consolidated group. The Company's interest in GEAR Therapeutics, Inc. was not part of the Spin-Out and continues to be held by the Company following the Merger.
Change in Business. Following the completion of the Merger and the Spin-Out, the Company's principal business is the digital asset mining operations conducted through Z Squared and its subsidiaries, including vertically integrated cryptocurrency mining of Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), and other digital assets at facilities located in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Iowa. The Company is also pursuing complementary business lines, including power generation, data center development, and high-performance compute hosting. The Company also continues to hold its interest in GEAR Therapeutics, Inc., which conducts the residual biopharmaceutical operations retained by the Company following the Spin-Out.
Accounting Treatment. As disclosed in the “Anticipated Accounting Treatment” section of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-288329) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), the Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805-40, with Z Squared treated as the accounting acquirer and the Company treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, in the Company's financial statements for periods ending on or after the closing date, the Company expects that: (i) the reported historical operating results will be those of Z Squared; (ii) the net assets of the Company (other than those of the Spin-Out Subsidiaries) acquired in the Merger will be recorded at their respective acquisition-date fair values; (iii) the legal capital of the surviving entity will be that of the Company, with the prior-period equity of Z Squared recast to reflect the share-exchange ratio under the Merger Agreement; and (iv) earnings per share for periods prior to the Merger will be recast to reflect that share-exchange ratio. The Company is in the process of finalizing the accounting under ASC 805 for the reverse acquisition, including the related fair value measurements, and that analysis is not yet complete.
Impact on the Financial Statements Presented. Because each of the Merger, the Spin-Out, the name change, and the ticker change occurred subsequent to the March 31, 2026 balance sheet date, each constitutes a non-recognized subsequent event under ASC 855-10-25-3 and does not affect the recognition or measurement of any amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 or the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The Company's financial statements in subsequent periods will, however, be materially different from those presented herein as a result of the Merger, the Spin-Out, and the related change in business. In particular, (i) the operations historically conducted through the Spin-Out Subsidiaries will not be reflected in the Company's results of operations in subsequent periods; (ii) under the reverse acquisition treatment described above, the operations of Z Squared (which have not historically been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements) will be reflected in subsequent periods as those of the accounting acquirer; and (iii) the Company's outstanding shares of common stock increased from 6,553,996 at March 31, 2026 to 51,431,493 at May 12, 2026, primarily as a result of the issuance of the Merger Consideration. Because the Company has not yet finalized the accounting under ASC 805 for the reverse acquisition or the related fair value measurements, an estimate of the financial effect of these subsequent events on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows in future periods, beyond the foregoing, cannot reasonably be made at the date of issuance of these financial statements.
| 28 |
For additional information regarding the Merger, the Spin-Out, and the resulting change in the Company's business, reference is made to the Registration Statement and to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026 reporting the completion of the Merger and related transactions.
On April 29, 2026, Z Squared announced that it has entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Skycore Digital LLC (“Skycore”), an operating digital infrastructure company with three active sites in North Carolina powered by Duke Energy. Skycore operates approximately 24 megawatts (“MW”) of energized power capacity currently connected to the Duke Energy grid, with an additional 18 MW available through existing Duke Energy Letters of Authorization. Together, the assets provide Z Squared with a defined path to up to 42 MW of total potential capacity.
The transaction is structured entirely in Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with no cash consideration and no debt financing. Total consideration consists of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with an $18 million base aggregate liquidation preference at closing, plus up to an additional $4 million, scaled pro rata based on additional MW secured prior to closing, with the full $4 million payable upon securement of 18 MW. Maximum aggregate consideration is $22 million. Key terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock include a $1,000 stated value per share; an 8% cash dividend or 10% payment-in-kind dividend, at the Company’s election; conversion at a 10% premium to the 20-day VWAP at signing; a seven-year mandatory redemption; an annual holder put right beginning in year two, capped at 20% per year; and a $500,000 break-up fee payable by Z Squared. The parties have agreed to a 90-day exclusivity period. The acquisition is expected to close within 60 days following execution of a definitive purchase agreement, subject to customary closing conditions.
