Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $17.9 million, used cash in operations of approximately $13.2 million, had a shareholders' deficit of approximately $0.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $26.7 million and a working capital deficit of $4.7 million.
The Company generated initial patient service revenue of approximately $1.1 million and $2.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, following the acquisition of Dura on September 8, 2025. Management expects to continue incurring operating losses through at least the remainder of 2026 as it integrates Dura and pursues additional acquisitions through its HOPE subsidiary. While management projects incremental revenue from clinical operations and, upon regulatory approval, from pharmaceutical product sales, these projections are subject to significant uncertainty, including successful completion of pending acquisitions and receipt of FDA approval for NRX-100 and NRX-101.
The Company has secured operating capital that it anticipates as sufficient to fund its drug development operations through at least the first quarter of 2027 solely from existing cash on hand to finance submission of FDA NDAs for KETAFREE™, NRX-100 and NRX-101. The Company additionally expects to continue to accrue revenue from clinical operations and utilize its existing at-the-market offering to provide cash resources to further support operations. The Company may pursue additional equity or debt financing or refinancing opportunities in 2026 to fund ongoing clinical activities and for general corporate purposes. Such arrangements may take the form of loans, equity offerings, strategic agreements, licensing agreements, joint ventures, or other agreements. The sale of equity could result in additional dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financing will be available to it and, if available, on acceptable terms, or that it will be able to refinance its existing debt obligations which could negatively impact the Company’s business and operations and could also lead to a reduction in the Company’s operations. The Company will continue to carefully monitor the impact of its continuing operations on the Company’s working capital needs and debt repayment obligations. As such, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included an explanatory paragraph about the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable, fair value of the convertible notes payable, fair value of warrant liabilities, fair value of stock options and warrants, fair value of the Common Stock shares granted for services, fair value of the purchase price and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, the fair value of lease liabilities and related right of use assets, and the utilization of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior‑year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2026 presentation.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820), provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation (Refer to Note 13).
Business Acquisitions
The Company recognizes and measures identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date at fair value. Fair value measurements require extensive use of estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows to be generated by the acquired assets. The operating results of the acquired business are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on the date of acquisition. The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of initial purchase to be cash equivalents, including balances held in the Company’s money market accounts. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions, in which balances from time to time may exceed the U.S. federally insured limits. The objectives of the Company’s cash management policy are to safeguard and preserve funds to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet the Company’s cash flow requirements, and to attain a market rate of return.
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are occasionally invested in certificates of deposit. The Company maintains each of its cash balances with high-quality and accredited financial institutions and accordingly, such funds are not exposed to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Deposits in financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance within money market accounts was in excess of the U.S. federally insured limits by $26.4 million. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are recorded at the estimated transaction price (net of contractual adjustments, discounts, and implicit price concessions). The Company applies the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model to estimate lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets, pooling receivables by payer type and aging and incorporating historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable‑and‑supportable forecasts with reversion to historical loss information beyond the forecast horizon. Receivables are written off when collection is deemed remote; recoveries are recognized when received. The Company does have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade name, and non-compete agreements. Customer relationships represent the value of established patient relationships and referral sources that are expected to generate recurring revenue streams. Trade name represents the value associated with the brand name in place at the date of the acquisition. The customer relationships and trade name are being amortized over a -year term and -year term, respectively, based on the estimated economic useful life of the customer relationships and trademark. The amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method.
The Company evaluates its definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such indicators may include adverse changes in market conditions, legal or regulatory developments, or underperformance relative to expectations. If indicators are present, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the asset’s carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value assigned to its net assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or when an event occurs, or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances that may trigger interim impairment reviews include, but not limited to, significant adverse changes in business climate, operating results, planned investments in the reporting unit, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, among other factors.
The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, an impairment test is unnecessary. If an impairment test is necessary, the Company will estimate the fair value of its related reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is determined to be impaired, and the Company will proceed with recording an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying value over the related fair value. No impairment of goodwill was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of to years using the straight-line method.
The Company adheres to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment and periodically evaluates whether current facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its depreciable assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the long-lived assets, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. For long-lived assets, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairment losses for long-lived assets recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Lease liabilities
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use assets (ROU), lease liabilities, and lease liabilities – related party. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. None of the leases entered into have an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and exclude lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which is recognized when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue under FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue for Contract with Customers (ASC 606). Patient service revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied, which occurs over time as patients simultaneously receive and consume services. Each treatment or visit generally represents a separate contract. Procedural services (e.g., ketamine infusions, esketamine administration, TMS sessions, SGB/epidural procedures) are recognized at the point in time when rendered; therapy and medication management services are recognized as sessions occur. The transaction price includes variable consideration such as contractual adjustments, expected denials, and implicit price concessions, which are estimated and constrained to amounts not expected to reverse. The Company applies the portfolio approach for contracts with similar characteristics by payer and service type. The Company elected the practical expedient not to assess a significant financing component because the period between service and payment is one year or less. The Company acts as principal in its patient service arrangements and records revenue on a gross basis.
Patient service revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for outpatient behavioral health care, interventional psychiatry, and pain management procedures. The Company’s services have no fixed duration and can generally be terminated by the patient or the Company at any time; therefore, each treatment or visit is considered its own stand-alone contract.
The Company disaggregates Patient service revenue from contracts with customers by service type including procedural services and therapy services and by payor type including commercial insurance, Medicare, and self-pay. Management believes this presentation best reflects the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s patient service revenue and cash flows.
Cost of Patient Services
Cost of patient services includes direct costs associated with providing healthcare services, such as salaries and benefits for clinical personnel, medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and other costs directly attributable to patient care. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with the Company’s clinical trials, salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are recorded as prepaid assets and expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received.
Non-Cancellable Contracts
The Company may record certain obligations as liabilities related to non-cancellable contracts. If appropriate, the offsetting costs may be recorded as a deferred cost asset.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based awards with graded-vesting schedules are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock award grants using the closing trading price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of issuance. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative or research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based upon the underlying individual’s role at the Company.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company generally determines fair value of the Common Stock Warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology.
A change in any of the terms or conditions of warrants is accounted for as a modification. The accounting for incremental fair value of warrants is based on the specific facts and circumstances related to the modification which may result in a reduction of additional paid-in capital, recognition of costs for services rendered, or recognized as a deemed dividend.
Preferred Stock
In accordance with ASC 480, the Company’s Series A preferred stock was classified as permanent equity as it was not mandatorily redeemable upon an event that is considered outside of the Company’s control. Further, in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, the Series A preferred stock did not meet any of the criteria that would preclude equity classification. The Company concluded that the Series A preferred stock was more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument, therefore the conversion features associated with the convertible preferred stock were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument and were not bifurcated as a derivative under ASC 815.
Segment Information
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. The Company operates through reportable segments: (i) a pharmaceutical development segment focused on the research and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of central nervous system disorders, including suicidal depression, chronic pain, PTSD, and schizophrenia, and (ii) a clinical services segment that generates patient service revenue through the Company’s clinical operations. The CODM evaluates the operating results and financial performance of each segment separately for purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. See Note 14 for further information.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”). Under the equity method, investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted to reflect the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss, which is recorded in equity method income (loss) in the statements of operations. Distributions received from investees reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. 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 be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Loss Per Share
The Company applies the two-class method when computing net income or loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders. In determining net income or loss attributable to Common Stockholders, the two-class method requires income or loss allocable to participating securities for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based on their respective rights to share in the earnings as if all of the income or loss allocable for the period had been distributed. In periods of net loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method as the participating securities do not have an obligation to fund the losses of the Company.
Basic loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants were to vest and be exercised. Diluted earnings per share excludes, when applicable, the potential impact of stock options, Common Stock warrant shares, convertible notes, and other dilutive instruments because their effect would be anti-dilutive in the periods in which the Company incurs a net loss.
The following outstanding shares of Common Stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stock for the periods in which a net loss is presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting of ASU 2024-03.
