5. Share capital

Authorized

The Company has authorized an unlimited number of common shares participating, voting and without par value. Each holder of common shares is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by shareholders.

On October 28, 2024, the Company completed a reverse share split at the ratio of 1-for-2, resulting in 3,952,366 common shares after conversion.

Conversion of promissory notes

On May 3, 2024, the Company issued convertible notes in the principal amount of $5,172,500. The convertible notes accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable in-kind semi-annually in arrears in the form of either cash or common shares of the Company, at the election of the holder, and had a maturity date of December 31, 2025.

Prior to January 1, 2025, the convertible notes would automatically convert to common shares in the event that the Company completed an initial public offering in the United States, at a conversion price equal to the greater of(i) a 20% discount to the initial public offering price and (ii) $4.00; or if there had been a change of control, at a conversion price of $4.00 per common share. On or after January 1, 2025, conversion would be at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $4.00 per common share. The Company had the option to redeem all or any portion of the convertible notes at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the date of redemption. In the event of a change of control, the Company would offer to repurchase the convertible notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the date of repurchase. The Company elected to account for the convertible notes in their entirety at fair value through profit and loss.

Subsequently, the note holders were given the option to convert at a conversion price of $4.00 per share prior to July 31, 2024. On June 28, 2024, all of the holders of the convertible notes elected to convert to common shares. The Company paid cash interest of $40,563 and accrued interest of $38,462 was converted, along with the principal amount of $5,172,500, into 1,308,798 common shares.

Private placement

On March 10, 2025, the Company closed its Tier II Regulation A offering with gross proceeds of $4,200,000. The Company issued 1,490,000 units at a price of $2.80 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one warrant to purchase one common share (the "Regulation A Warrants"). The Regulation A Warrants have an exercise price of $2.80 per share and will expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The Company incurred total issuance costs of $483,020, including legal fees and placement fees incurred directly related to the issuance. The issuance costs incurred were recognized as a reduction in equity and allocated based on the relative fair values of the Regulation A Warrants and common shares on a standalone basis. The fair values of the common shares was based on the Company's stock price on the day of issuance of $3.40 and the fair value of the Regulation A Warrants was $2.64 per warrant. The Regulation A Warrants were recognized in additional paid-in capital as they met the criteria for equity classification.

The fair value of the Regulation A Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

Valuation date share price$3.40
Exercise price$2.80
Dividend yield-
Risk-free interest rate3.98%
Expected warrant life5.00 years
Expected volatility97.81%

As of March 31, 2025,5,000 of the 1,490,000 Regulation A Warrants have been exercised. The Company recorded a receivable of $14,000 related to the warrant exercises which is included in prepaid expenses and other currents on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

On November 14, 2024, the Company completed the sale of 970,000 Units, with each Unit (the "Unit") consisting of one common share and one warrant (the "Public Warrants") to purchase one common share at the price of $4.125 per Unit. In addition, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase 145,500 Public Warrants (the 'Overallotment Warrants") at a price of $0.01 per warrant.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On February 10, 2025, the Company also announced that it had entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with YA II PN, Ltd. ("Yorkville"). Pursuant to the SEPA and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Yorkville has committed to purchase the Company's common shares, no par value, in increments (each purchase, an "Advance") up to an aggregate gross sales price of up to $15,000,000 during the 36 months following the date of the SEPA (such shares, the "Shares"). The Shares will be sold at the Company's option pursuant to the SEPA at 97% of the Market Price (as defined pursuant to the SEPA) and purchases are subject to certain limitations set forth in the SEPA. As consideration for Yorkville's commitment to purchase the common shares pursuant to the SEPA, the Company paid Yorkville a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000 and issued to Yorkville 105,840 common shares with a stock price of $2.83 at issuance. These costs together are classified as deferred issuance costs on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be recorded as a reduction of common shares when a financing under the SEPA occurs. As of March 31, 2025, there have been no sales made under the SEPA.

6. Stock-based compensation

At March 31, 2025 the Company had in place a stock option plan for employee, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company ("the Plan"). The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of shares and for the grant of options to purchase shares. Under the plan the total number of shares available for options cannot exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at the time of any grant. The Company is authorized to issue options to employees, non-employee directors and consultants under the plan.

On June 25, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting for all outstanding share options to June 25, 2024, resulting in the Company recognizing the remaining expense for all share options outstanding and unvested as of that date.

The following table summarizes option transactions for the Plan:

Number ofoptionsWeightedaverageexercise priceC$Weightedaverageremainingcontractual life(years)Aggregateintrinsic valueC$

Unvested at March 31, 2025257,5003.684.690.04

As of March 31, 2025 there were $455,175 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to share options outstanding, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.00.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation expense was $112,277 and $35,953, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense has been reported in the Company'scondensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss within the line items 'general and administrative' and 'research and development' expenses.

7. Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders was calculated as follows:

Three months ended March 31,
20252024
Net loss attributable to shareholders$(5,102,408)$(1,707,358)
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year12,240,4378,076,673
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to shareholders$(0.42)$(0.21)

The Company's potentially dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, include stock options, warrants, and notes payable. The Company excluded the potential ordinary shares outstanding at each period end from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

8. Related party transactions

On October 18, 2023, the Company signed an agreement with RBx Capital, LP (“RBx”), a family office controlled by the Company’s Executive Chairman and CEO, that provides for certain managerial positions to be filled from within RBx. RBx is responsible for the payment and provision of all wages, bonuses, and benefits for these positions. Reimbursable salaries paid to RBx pursuant to this agreement are $125,000 per month. In December 2024, reimbursable salaries were changed to $100,000 per month. Reimbursable salaries paid to RBx were both $300,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additional expenses of $40,865 and $213,216 were incurred by RBx on behalf of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The total amount of accounts payable to RBx was $118,215 and $142,459 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

9. Fair value measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. 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. 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 liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, or which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

The following table presents information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values:

Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total
Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total
Current assets:
Money market funds$2,587,501$-$-$2,587,501
Total assets measured at fair value$2,587,501$-$-$2,587,501
Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total
Current assets:
Money market funds$4,164,323$-$-$4,164,323
Total assets measured at fair value$4,164,323$-$-$4,164,323

The Company's cash equivalents are classified as Level 1. The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents is determined based on market pricing that is both objective and publicly available.

The Company did not reclassify any investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.

10. Commitment and contingencies

Commitments

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no long-term commitments.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims related to operations, rights, commercial, employment or other claims. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider the Company's exposure to such claims to be material to these consolidated financial statements.

11. Segment reporting

The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and operates as one reportable segment that constitutes all of the consolidated entity, which is the business of advancing the clinical development program of the Company's product, while opportunistically identifying, evaluating, and acquiring accretive assets, properties or businesses. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM uses consolidated net loss to measure segment loss, allocate resources and assess performance. The significant segment expense categories (general and administrative and research and development) are consistent with those presented on the face of the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other segment items are finance (income) expense which are consistent with those presented on the face of the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Additionally, the CODM reviews cash forecast models to determine where the Company will invest in planned research and development activities.

12. Subsequent Events

On April 26, 2025, the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent to acquire Antev Ltd., a UK-based late clinical-stage drug development company. The deal is expected to close in June 2025. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Antev Ltd., on a fully diluted basis, in exchange for 2,666,600 (or approximately 19% in aggregate) of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares. Antev Ltd. shareholders will be entitled to receive up to $65 million in additional contingent consideration. No assurances can be made that the parties will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement, or that the proposed transactions will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.

On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Yorkville in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of debentures (the "Debentures") issuable in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000 (the "Subscription Amount").

An additional $3,750,000 is available to the Company in accordance with the Purchase Agreement at the Company's election and upon the achievement of certain triggers. The Debenture is guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries pursuant to a global guaranty agreement. Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of each Debenture at an annual rate of 8.00%, subject to a potential increase to 18.00% per annum upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The Debentures will mature on February 2, 2026.
