Description of Business

The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation prodrugs for patients with inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. The Company's lead clinical product candidate, PALI-2108, is being advanced into Phase 2 clinical trials as a treatment for patients living with inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Liquidity

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a limited operating history, and the sales and income potential of the Company’s business and market are unproven. The Company has experienced net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future. The successful transition to achieving profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s costs. There can be no assurance that such profitability will ever be achieved. To fund its operations, the Company has historically relied primarily on equity financings.

On October 2, 2025, the Company closed on an equity offering for net proceeds to the Company of $127.6 million, consisting of gross cash proceeds of $138.0 million less underwriting discounts and commissions and other cash equity issuance costs of approximately $10.4 million (the "October 2025 Offering"), which significantly increased the Company's available working capital and its ability to fund its operations into the foreseeable future. Although the Company still anticipates incurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations into the foreseeable future, based on its current operating plan and based upon its cash and cash equivalents balance of $125.2 million as of June 30, 2026, management has concluded the Company has sufficient capital to fund its operations for at least a period of one year following the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
