Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
On July 28, 2026, Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) acquired Vidya Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vidya”) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2026 (such agreement, the “Merger Agreement” and the transaction consummated via Merger Agreement, the “Vidya Acquisition”) by and among our company, Venus Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Venus Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Vidya (see Note 9). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not give effect to our acquisition of Vidya.
The
Vidya Acquisition brought into our pipeline Vidya’s lead asset, VT-7208, an orally available, covalently binding,
irreversible, CNS-penetrant Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor
(“BTKi”) rationally designed to optimize for selectivity, potency, and tolerability. In connection with
the Vidya Acquisition, we received $
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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of our financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Liquidity
As
of June 30, 2026 our net assets were not sufficient to fund our future operations. However, on July 30, 2026 we closed a private placement,
as described in Note 9, for gross proceeds of $
Use of Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to preclinical and clinical trial expenses, stock-based compensation, intangible assets, future milestone payments and income taxes. These estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. While we believe the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

Digital Assets
Our
digital assets consist of Chiliz (CHZ) tokens and we have accounted for it in accordance with ASC 350-60, Intangibles –
Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (“ASC 350-60”). We initially recorded the digital assets at cost and have
subsequently remeasured at fair value as of the balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized as unrealized gain or
losses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts recognized for income tax purposes. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we recorded a valuation allowance equal to the full recorded amount of our net deferred tax assets since it is more-likely-than-not that such benefits will not be realized. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and is maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Under ASC 740-270 Income Taxes – Interim Reporting, we are required to project our annual federal and state effective income tax rate and apply it to the year-to-date ordinary operating tax basis loss before income taxes. Based on the projection, no current income tax benefit or expense is expected for 2026 and the foreseeable future since we expect to generate taxable net operating losses.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of our cash and cash equivalents.
We utilize only well-established banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings. Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to specified limits. While total cash held by our banks at June 30, 2026 did not exceed FDIC
limits, recent private placement net proceeds of $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that there is no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Treasury Stock
On February 15, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the retirement of the shares held in treasury stock.
On June 19, 2019, our stockholders approved, and we adopted, the Processa Pharmaceuticals Inc. 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan allows us, under the direction of our Board or a committee thereof, to make grants of stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock and other stock-based awards to employees, including our executive officers, consultants and directors. The 2019 Plan provides for the aggregate issuance of shares of our common stock. At June 30, 2026, we had shares available for future grants, which were all granted to employees and directors on July 26, 2026.

At June 30, 2026, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options of $ is expected to be fully recognized over a weighted average period of years.

At June 30, 2026, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $ for RSUs is expected to be fully recognized over a weighted average period of years. The unrecognized expense excludes approximately $ of expense related to certain grants of RSUs with performance milestones that are not probable of occurring at this time. On July 26, 2026, we granted RSUs that represent shares of common stock to our employees and directors with a grant date fair value of $. The RSUs vested immediately and the shares of common stock will be distributed within six months of the grant date.
Holders of our vested RSUs will be issued shares of our common stock upon meeting the distribution restrictions contained in their Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. The distribution restrictions are different (longer) than the vesting schedule, imposing an additional restriction on the holder. While certain employees may hold fully vested RSUs, the individual does not hold any shares or have any rights of a stockholder until the distribution restrictions are met. Upon distribution to the employee, each RSU converts into one share of our common stock. The RSUs contain dividend equivalent rights.
Warrants
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, warrants expired and we did not grant any warrants and no warrants were exercised. We did not have any unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense related to the
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing our net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (which includes vested RSUs) during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing our net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock (which includes the potentially dilutive effect of stock options, unvested RSUs and warrants) during the period. Since we experienced a net loss for both periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same. As such, diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 excludes the impact of potentially dilutive common shares since those shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.

Digital assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in its principal market (Level 1 inputs). We have designated a principal market based on the market we have access to that has the greatest volume and level of orderly transactions for digital assets. We reassess the principal market when facts and circumstances change, including, but not limited to, when new markets become accessible, or the volume/activity in the current principal market declines.

Note 9 – Subsequent Events
Acquisition of Vidya Therapeutics, Inc. and Concurrent Private Placement
On July 28, 2026, we acquired Vidya pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we issued to the stockholders of Vidya an aggregate of (i) shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Vidya Assumed Options (as defined below) and (ii) shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations). The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation. Further, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Vidya common stock was assumed by us (the “Vidya Assumed Options”) and converted into an option to purchase our common stock, which options are subject to exercise restrictions prior to obtaining the approval of the Stockholder Matters.
Concurrently
with the Vidya Acquisition, on July 28, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
for a $
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement we agreed to hold a stockholders’ meeting to submit certain matters to our stockholders for their consideration including: (i) the approval in accordance with applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Nasdaq”) of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement into shares of our common stock (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal”), (ii) the approval of a 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to approval by the Board, (iii) the approval of a 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (iv) to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Company and/or Vidya, approval of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (the matters contemplated in items (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Stockholder Matters”).
Subject
to the receipt of stockholder approval of the Stockholder Matters, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert
into shares of Common Stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations established by each holder.
| 13 |
Amendments to our Articles of Incorporation - Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with the Merger Agreement, on July 28, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware , as adopted by the Board. The Certificate of Designation provided for the creation of our Series A Preferred Stock.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to, on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of our common stock. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation, amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) prior to the Automatic Conversion, consummate either: (A) any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or (B) any merger or consolidation with or into another Person or any stock sale to, or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, share exchange or scheme of arrangement) with or into, another Person in which our shareholders immediately before such transaction do not hold at least a majority of the voting power of our capital stock or surviving corporation or the parent entity of ours or surviving corporation immediately after such transaction or in which we or the surviving corporation issues securities in such transaction that represent, or are convertible into securities representing, more than a majority of the voting power of the Company immediately before such transaction, (iv) prior to the stockholder approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal, authorize or issue any class or series of stock that has powers, preferences or rights that are senior to those of the Series A Preferred Stock, (v) amend, waive or modify the Merger Agreement in any manner that would be reasonably likely to prevent, impede or materially delay stockholder approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal or the Automatic Conversion (as defined below) or (vi) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
At 5:00 pm Eastern time on the third business day following stockholder approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, including that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage (to be established by the holder between 4.9% and 19.9%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion; provided that following stockholder approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal, such Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be waived by each holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon written notice to the Company to be effective on the 61st day following receipt of such notice.
If at any time after the earlier of (i) the Stockholder Approval or (ii) nine months after the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company fails to deliver to the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shares of Common Stock underlying such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then (other than in certain circumstances set forth in the Certificate of Designation), the Company will pay, at the request of such holder, an amount of cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to the Fair Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such undelivered shares, provided that the Company has funds legally available for such payment.

Overview
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company. In July 2026, we acquired Vidya Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vidya”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing VT-7208, a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (“BTK”) inhibitor therapy for immune-mediated diseases with an initial focus on food allergy, chronic spontaneous urticaria (“CSU”) and relapsing multiple sclerosis (“RMS”). We are also continuing the development of our legacy pharmaceutical assets, including PCS499, PCS12852 and PCS11T, while evaluating strategic opportunities designed to maximize their clinical and long-term value.

Recent Developments
Vidya Acquisition
On July 28, 2026, we acquired Vidya, which brought Vidya’s lead asset VT-7208 into our pipeline. In connection with our acquisition of Vidya, we received $200 million in gross proceeds from a private placement financing of shares of our non-voting convertible preferred stock. We intend to use the net proceeds of $183.3 million from the private placement to fund operations into the second half of 2029 and through key clinical milestones, including top-line data from Phase 2 proof-of-concept studies for food allergy, CSU and RMS.
Elion Settlement Agreement
On July 23, 2026, we entered into a settlement agreement with Elion Oncology, Inc. (“Elion”) to resolve all claims arising from the parties’ litigation concerning the license agreement dated August 23, 2020, relating to the commercialization of PCS6422 (the “Elion License Agreement”). Under the settlement agreement, the Elion License Agreement was terminated, the PCS6422 program was returned to Elion, and the parties exchanged mutual releases of all claims relating to the Elion License Agreement, the PCS6422 program, and the related litigation.
In connection with the settlement, we paid Elion $650,000 toward its attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket costs. We also agreed to grant Elion a non-voting equity interest equal to 7.5% of the fully diluted pre-money equity capitalization of any newly formed entity whose assets include one or more of PCS499, PCS12852, or PCS11T, provided that the formation or spin-out of such entity is completed within 365 days after the effective date of the settlement agreement.
As a result of the settlement and the return of the PCS6422 program to Elion, we are closing our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of PCS6422 in advanced or metastatic breast cancer. On August 7, 2026, the stipulation of dismissal became effective, resulting in the dismissal of the litigation with prejudice.
Other 2026 Fundraising
On February 17, 2026 where we sold 86,956 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor in a private placement transaction for $200,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, certain directors, officers, and employees purchased 82,205 shares of common stock for approximately $207,000. In April 2026, we also sold 50,330 shares of common stock under our ATM Offering for approximately $153,000 in net proceeds. Concurrent with the acquisition of Vidya, we entered into a definitive agreement for a private placement financing to raise approximately $200 million in gross proceeds, which we expect to use to support the advancement of VT-7208 through multiple clinical milestones, including data from a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in food allergy anticipated in the second half of 2027, data from a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in CSU anticipated in the first half of 2028, and data from a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in RMS anticipated in the second half of 2028.
Our Drug Pipeline

In addition to advancing the clinical-stage BTK inhibitor program in multiple indications, we continue to evaluate the development of our other legacy pharmaceutical assets PCS499, PCS12852, and PCS11T, including strategic opportunities designed to maximize the clinical and long-term value of all assets.

Revenues
We do not currently have any revenue under contract or any immediate sales prospects.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include (i) program and testing related expenses including external consulting and professional fees related to the product testing and our development activities and (ii) internal research and development staff salaries and other payroll costs including stock-based compensation, payroll taxes and employee benefits.
Costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |||||||||||||
| Research and development salaries and benefits | $ | 323,760 | $ | 305,057 | $ | 709,883 | $ | 696,504 | ||||||||

| Total | $ | 649,877 | $ | 2,447,286 | $ | 2,459,041 | $ | 4,035,767 | ||||||||
The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a decrease in preclinical, clinical trial, and other costs related to our NGC-Cap Phase 2 trial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we placed the study on hold while performing our interim analysis.
The funding necessary to bring a drug candidate to market is subject to numerous uncertainties. Once a drug candidate is identified, the further development of that drug candidate may be halted or abandoned at any time due to a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, funding constraints, safety or a change in market demand. For each of our drug candidate programs, we periodically assess the scientific progress and merits of the programs to determine if continued research and development is economically viable. Some programs may be terminated due to the lack of scientific progress and lack of prospects for ultimate commercialization.
Our clinical trial cost accruals are based on estimates of patient enrollment and related costs at clinical investigator sites, as well as estimates for the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf.
We estimate preclinical and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on our behalf. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of patient enrollment and activity expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we will adjust the accrual accordingly. Payments made to third parties under these arrangements in advance of the receipt of the related services are recorded as prepaid expenses and expensed when the services are rendered.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by approximately $183,000 to $1.7 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was due primarily to increases in professional fees of approximately $179,000; insurance expense of approximately $58,000; franchise tax expense of approximately $50,000; salaries and payroll-related expenses of $34,000; and other miscellaneous office expenses of $4,000. The increases were offset by decreases in employee stock-based expenses of $74,000; rent expense of $22,000; office and other miscellaneous expenses of $20,000; repairs and maintenance expense of $12,000; and travel expenses of $11,000. We received approximately $3,000 more in reimbursements from CorLyst during the three months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025.
Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by approximately $446,000 to $3.2 million from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was due primarily to increases in professional fees of approximately $405,000; insurance expense of approximately $144,000; salaries and payroll-related expenses of $94,000; travel expenses of $22,000; and franchise tax expense of approximately $15,000. The increases were offset by decreases in employee stock-based expenses of $144,000; rent expense of $46,000; office and other miscellaneous expenses of $42,000; and repairs and maintenance expense of $12,000. We received approximately $10,000 less in reimbursements from CorLyst during the six months ended June 30, 2026 when compared to the same period in 2025.

| 18 |
Net cash used in operating activities
We used net cash in our operating activities of $5.6 million and $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities during the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily related to the increased professional/consulting fees, insurance, payroll, and travel related expenses incurred.
As we advance VT-7208 through three Phase 2 proof-of-concept studies, and evaluate the legacy product candidates in our portfolio, we anticipate our research and development efforts and ongoing general and administrative costs will continue to generate negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future. We anticipate our clinical trial costs will increase in the second half of 2026 when compared to prior periods as we initiate Phase 2 studies of VT-7208 in food allergy and chronic spontaneous urticaria, since activities in 2025 were primarily related to the completion of our Phase 1B trial and setup of our NGC-Cap Phase 2 trial.
Net cash used in investing activities
We used $500,000 in investing activities to purchase digital assets and received $186,000 for the sale of digital assets during the six months ended June 30, 2026. We did not use any cash in investing activities during the same period in 2025.
Net cash provided by financing activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we sold 219,491 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor, and certain directors, officers, and employees for cumulative net proceeds of $560,270. We used cash classified as financing activities of $320 to pay income taxes owed on stock-based compensation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold 613,639 shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 828,388 shares of our common stock, accompanying Series A Warrants to purchase up to 322,027 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 161,014 shares of our common stock, and common accompanying warrants to purchase up to 1,120,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $10.7 million. We also received $100,000 from the exercise of warrants to purchase 16,000 shares of common stock. We also used cash classified as financing activities of $10,000 to pay income taxes owed on stock-based compensation, and $3,000 for payments owed under a financing lease obligation.
Liquidity
Following our acquisition of Vidya and closing of the related $200 million gross private placement (from which we received net proceeds of $183.3 million) on July 30, 2026, we believe our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond. This represents a material change from what we reported in our 2025 Form 10-K that disclosed substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have incurred losses since inception, currently devoting substantially all our efforts toward research and development of our product candidates, including conducting clinical trials and providing general and administrative support for these operations, and have an accumulated deficit of $107.4 million at June 30, 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated a net loss of $6.6 million. To date, none of our drug candidates have been approved for sale, and therefore we have not generated any product revenue and do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the foreseeable future. We will continue to be dependent upon equity and/or debt financing until we are able to generate positive cash flows from its operations.
We plan to raise additional funds in the future through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other marketing and distribution arrangements, but will only do so if the terms are acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or suspend our current or planned future clinical trial plans, or research and development programs. This may also cause us to not meet obligations contained in certain of our license agreements and put these assets at risk. To the extent that we raise additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that future funding will be available when needed.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies from those included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that there is no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 3 is not applicable to us as a smaller reporting company and has been omitted.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
At June 30, 2026, management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at June 30, 2026 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2026, we completed the Vidya Acquisition. In connection with the Vidya Acquisition, we have begun the process of integrating Vidya’s financial processes, systems, and personnel into our system of internal control over financial reporting. We expect this integration to continue through the remainder of 2026 and to result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On July 23, 2026, we entered into a settlement agreement with Elion Oncology, Inc. (“Elion”) to resolve all claims arising from the parties’ litigation concerning the license agreement dated August 23, 2020, relating to the commercialization of PCS6422 (the “Elion License Agreement”). Under the settlement agreement, the Elion License Agreement was terminated, the PCS6422 program was returned to Elion, and the parties exchanged mutual releases of all claims relating to the Elion License Agreement, the PCS6422 program, and the related litigation. In connection with the settlement, we paid Elion $650,000 towards its attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket costs. We also agreed to grant Elion a non-voting equity interest equal to 7.5% of the fully diluted pre-money equity capitalization of any newly formed entity whose assets include one or more of PCS499, PCS12852, or PCS11T, provided that the formation or spin-out of such entity is completed within 365 days after the effective date of the settlement agreement. As a result of the settlement and the return of the PCS6422 program to Elion, we are closing our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of PCS6422 in advanced or metastatic breast cancer. On August 7, 2026, the stipulation of dismissal became effective, resulting in the dismissal of the litigation with prejudice.
On December 3, 2024, Jason Assad and Marc Gyimesi, two of the investors in our February 2021 private offering, filed a lawsuit that has been assigned to the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County alleging fraud and negligent misrepresentation in connection therewith regarding alleged company communication and statements and are seeking monetary damages. In addition to being an investor, Mr. Assad was a former investor relations and communications consultant to the Company from September 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. On April 25, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The motion was decided in September 2025. The court dismissed two of the three counts of the complaint (for constructive fraud and negligent misrepresentation) and dismissed that part of the remaining cause of action for fraud to the extent that it related to the retention of Plaintiffs’ investment (leaving only the portion of the claim in which Plaintiffs allege they were fraudulently induced to invest in the Company in February 2021). The court also dismissed all claims against Patrick Lin and George Ng. Processa’s and David Young’s answer was submitted during October 2025. In January 2026, Plaintiffs were granted leave to amend their complaint to add a claim for breach of contract against Processa and David Young based on the same factual allegations. Processa’s and David Young’s response to the amended complaint (a motion to dismiss) was submitted on March 2, 2026 and is still pending before the Court. In the meantime, the discovery and deposition phases of the matter are ongoing.
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these lawsuits and cannot at this time predict the likely outcome of any litigation, reasonably determine either the probability of a material adverse result or any estimated range of potential exposure, or reasonably determine how these matters or any future matters might impact our business, our financial condition, or our results of operations, although such impact, including the costs of defense, as well as any judgments or indemnification obligations, among other things, could be materially adverse to us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Related to the Vidya Acquisition
Our business is highly dependent on the success of VT-7208. VT-7208 will require additional clinical and manufacturing development before we may be able to seek regulatory approval for and launch a product commercially and we may not be successful in our efforts.
We currently have no products that are approved for commercial sale and may never be able to develop marketable products. Following the Vidya Acquisition, we are focusing the majority of our resources on the development of VT-7208 in food allergy, CSU and RMS and continuing the development of our legacy pharmaceutical assets, including PCS499, PCS12852 and PCS11T, while evaluating strategic opportunities designed to maximize their clinical and long-term value. If VT-7208, across the various target indications, encounters safety or efficacy problems, development delays, regulatory issues or other problems, our development plans and forecasted timelines and business could be significantly harmed. Because we are focusing the vast majority of our resources on a single product candidate, any failure or significant delay in VT-7208’s development would have a disproportionate impact on our business, financial condition and prospects, and our other clinical-stage programs would not be able to offset such a setback.
We cannot provide you with any assurance that we will be able to successfully advance VT-7208 or any additional product candidates through the development process in any particular target indication. Our research programs may initially show promise in identifying potential product candidates, yet fail to yield product candidates for clinical development or commercialization for many reasons, including the following:
| ● | our product candidates may not succeed in preclinical or clinical testing; | |
| ● | a product candidate may on further study be shown to have harmful side effects, or other characteristics that indicate it is unlikely to be effective or otherwise does not meet applicable regulatory criteria; | |
| ● | competitors may develop alternatives that render our product candidates obsolete or less attractive; | |
| ● | product candidates we develop may nevertheless be covered by third parties’ patents or other exclusive rights; | |
| ● | the market for a product candidate may change during our development program so that the continued development of that product candidate is no longer reasonable; | |
| ● | a product candidate may not be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at an acceptable cost, or at all; and | |
| ● | a product candidate may not be accepted as safe and/or effective by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and/or other applicable regulatory authorities, patients, the medical community and/or third-party payors, if applicable. |
If any of these events occur, we may be forced to abandon our development efforts for a program or programs, or we may not be able to identify, discover, develop, or commercialize additional product candidates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and could potentially cause us to cease operations.
If we do not successfully develop, secure regulatory approval for, and commercialize product candidates or collaborate with others to do so, we will not be able to obtain product revenue in future periods, which would significantly harm our financial position and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
| 21 |
Pursuant to the terms of the Vidya Acquisition, we are required to recommend that our stockholders approve the conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock. We cannot guarantee that our stockholders will approve this matter, and if they fail to do so we may be required to settle such shares in cash and our operations may be materially harmed.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as promptly as practicable following the date of the Merger Agreement and pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, we will call and hold a meeting of our stockholders to obtain the requisite approval from our legacy stockholders for, among other things, (i) the approval, in accordance with the applicable rules of Nasdaq, of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock, or the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal, (ii) the approval of a 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to approval by the Board, (iii) the approval of a 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (iv) to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by us and/or Vidya, approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (the matters contemplated in items (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Stockholder Matters”). If we fail to receive sufficient proxies to constitute a quorum or to obtain the required vote on the Stockholder Matters, we would be required to adjourn the meeting one or more times for up to 30 days per adjournment. If stockholder approval of the Stockholder Matters is still not obtained following such adjournment(s), we will be obligated to continue soliciting stockholder approval at subsequent annual or special meetings of our stockholders, held at intervals of no more than six months, until such approvals are obtained, which would be time consuming and costly.
There can be no assurance that our legacy stockholders will approve the Stockholder Matters. Additionally, if at any time following the date that is six months following the initial issuance date of the Series A Preferred Stock, we fail to deliver to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shares of common stock underlying such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (other than in certain circumstances set forth in the Certificate of Designation, as defined below) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to require us to settle such undelivered shares for cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such undelivered shares of common stock at such time, as described in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock, or the Certificate of Designation. If we are forced to cash settle a significant amount of the shares of our common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, it could materially affect our results of operations, business and financial condition.
There is no guarantee that the Vidya Acquisition will increase stockholder value.
In July 2026, we consummated the Vidya Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired Vidya, and we closed the 2026 Private Placement. We cannot guarantee that implementing the Vidya Acquisition and related transactions will not impair stockholder value or otherwise adversely affect our business. The Vidya Acquisition poses significant integration challenges between our businesses and employees which could result in management and business disruptions, any of which could harm our results of operation, business prospects, and impair the value of the Vidya Acquisition to our stockholders.
The failure to successfully integrate the businesses of our company and Vidya in the expected timeframe could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and future results.
Our ability to successfully integrate the operations of our company and Vidya will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the Vidya Acquisition. If we are not able to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits of the Vidya Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of our common stock may be adversely affected. In addition, the integration of our company’s and Vidya’s respective businesses will be a time-consuming and expensive process. Proper planning and effective and timely implementation will be critical to avoid any significant disruption to our operations. There can be no assurance that we will effectively manage the increased complexity of our business without experiencing operating inefficiencies or control deficiencies. Delays encountered in the integration process could have a material adverse effect on our expenses, operating results and financial condition, including the value of shares of our common stock.
We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the integration of Vidya.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial expenses in connection with the Vidya Acquisition and the integration of Vidya. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated, including accounting and finance, billing, payroll, and benefits. Both our company and Vidya have incurred significant transaction expenses in connection with the drafting and negotiation of the Merger Agreement, and the related ancillary agreements. While we have assumed that a certain level of expenses will be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration expenses. Moreover, many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These integration expenses likely will result in our taking significant charges against earnings following the completion of the Vidya Acquisition, and the amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.
A substantial number of shares of our common stock will become available for sale and may be sold upon conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock, and additional shares may be sold by existing common stockholders, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If stockholders approve the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal, the up to 307,063,330 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Vidya Acquisition and the 2026 Private Placement, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, will represent approximately 99.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock as of August 7, 2026, on an as-converted basis. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock on Nasdaq. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
| 22 |
In addition, in the future, we may also issue shares of our common stock in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of our common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could substantially increase our shares of common stock outstanding, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock on Nasdaq.
Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain officers, directors and stockholders of Vidya, and the directors and officers of the Company as of immediately following the Vidya Acquisition entered into lock-up agreements with the Company, pursuant to which each such stockholder will be subject to a 180-day lock-up on the sale or transfer of shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by each such stockholder at the closing of the Vidya Acquisition, including those shares received by former Vidya securityholders in the Vidya Acquisition. Upon expiration of this 180-day lock-up period, these shares will become eligible for sale in the public market.
In connection with the closing of the 2026 Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we are required to register the resale of all shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Vidya Acquisition and the 2026 Private Placement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to prepare and file a resale registration statement with the SEC within 75 calendar days following the closing of the 2026 Private Placement. We are obligated to use our reasonable best efforts to cause this registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within five business days of the date we are notified by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (or within 60 calendar days following the filing deadline if the SEC reviews the registration statement). Once this registration statement is declared effective and the restricted securities legends on the shares issued in connection with the Vidya Acquisition and the 2026 Private Placement are removed, the shares subject to such registration statement will no longer constitute restricted securities and may be sold freely in the public markets, subject to any beneficial ownership limitations set by the holder of Series A Preferred Stock or lapse on any related contractual restrictions of any Investor. If our stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after legal restrictions on resale lapse, the trading price of our common stock could decline. In addition, shares of our common stock that are subject to outstanding options will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting agreements and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We may become involved in litigation, including securities class action litigation, that could divert management’s attention and harm our business, and insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all costs and damages.
In the past, litigation, including securities class action litigation, has often followed certain significant business transactions, such as the Vidya Acquisition. These events may also result in investigations by the SEC or other government agencies. We may be exposed to such litigation and resulting costs in connection with the Vidya Acquisition even if no wrongdoing occurred.
Furthermore, the stock market in general, and Nasdaq and biopharmaceutical companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and we may be the target of this type of litigation in the future.
Litigation is usually expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and cash resources.
