NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Quoin Ltd.,” or the “Company”), formerly known as Cellect Biotechnology Ltd. (“Cellect”), is the holding company for Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quoin Inc.”). Quoin Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on March 5, 2018. Quoin Inc. is the holding company for Quoin Therapeutics Ireland Limited (“Quoin Ireland”), an Irish private company limited by shares and Quoin Pharmaceuticals Japan KK (“Quoin Japan”), a Japanese joint-stock company. Quoin Ireland was incorporated in Ireland on November 26, 2024. Quoin Japan was incorporated in Japan on June 5, 2026. On October 28, 2021, Cellect completed the business combination with Quoin Inc., with Quoin Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellect (the “Merger”). Immediately after completion of the Merger, Cellect changed its name to “Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd.”
The Company is a late-stage clinical specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutic products that treat rare and orphan diseases for which there are currently either no approved or very limited treatments or cures. The Company’s lead product, QRX003, is under clinical development as a potential treatment for Netherton Syndrome (“NS”), a rare hereditary genetic disease. QRX003 is entering pivotal registrational clinical testing under an open Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Company has openedsix clinical sites in the United States (“US”) along with international sites that are being opened in the UK, Spain, France and the Netherlands. QRX003 is currently being tested in eight pediatric NS patients in a Compassionate Use program in Ireland, Austria, the Netherlands and New Zealand and an additional 3 pediatric patients are expected to be enrolled this year. QRX003 is also being developed as a potential treatment for Peeling Skin Syndrome. The Company submitted an IND application for QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome in the second quarter of 2026, which was cleared by the FDA on July 9, 2026, and plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 study in the second half of 2026. Quoin has also entered into 9 commercial partnerships for QRX003 spanning 61 countries outside of its core commercial territories of the US, Western Europe and Japan. These partnership countries include Canada, Australia/New Zealand, the Middle East, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Israel, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey as well as several countries in Latin America. To date, no products have been commercialized and no revenue has been generated by the Company. The Company has entered into a Research Agreement with the Queensland University of Technology (“QUT”) in Australia, under which the Company has obtained an option for a global license to QRX008 for the potential treatment of scleroderma, as well as a Research Agreement with The School of Pharmacy at University College Cork (“UCC”) for the development of novel topical formulations of rapamycin (sirolimus), QRX009, as potential treatments for a number of rare and orphan diseases for which there are either limited or no approved therapies or cures, including Pachyonychia Congenita, Gorlin Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, microcystic lymphatic malformations, venous malformations and angiofibromas, as well as other indications that the Company is assessing. The Company is planning to initiate investigator-led clinical studies in Pachyonychia Congenita, Gorlin Syndrome and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY RISKS AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses every year since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $81.3 million at June 30, 2026. The Company has a limited operating history and has historically funded its operations through its founders’ funding expenditures and debt and equity financings. At June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balances totaling $3.8 million and investments of $7.0 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funding. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Based upon the Company’s current business plans and cash, cash equivalents, and investments on hand, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains marketing approval for one or more of its product candidates, which the Company expects will take a number of years and is subject to significant uncertainty. The Company will need to obtain further funding through public or private offerings of its capital stock, debt financing, pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued to investors in the Company’s prior public and private offerings, collaboration, strategic and/or licensing arrangements or other sources in order to complete the research and development of the Company’s product candidates and to fund the Company’s other operating requirements until it achieves commercial profitability, if ever. However, the Company may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such
other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding when it becomes necessary, the development of its product candidates will be impacted and the Company would likely be forced to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of its development programs.
Other risks and uncertainties:
The Company is subject to risks common to late-stage clinical specialty pharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, product liability, pre-clinical and clinical trial outcome risks, regulatory approval risks, uncertainty of market acceptance and additional financing requirements.
The Company’s products require approval or clearance from the FDA prior to commencing commercial sales in the United States. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive all of the required approvals or clearances. Approvals or clearances are also required in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company may license or sell its products.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s products, if approved, will be accepted in the marketplace, nor can there be any assurance that any future products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed.
The Company is also dependent on several third party suppliers, in some cases a single source supplier including the contract research organization managing both of the Company’s current clinical studies, the supplier of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), as well as the contract manufacturer of the drug product for clinical development.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months then ended. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2025 and for the year then ended which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The functional currencies of Quoin Ireland and Quoin Japan, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Ireland and Japan subsidiaries into the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date and those unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income. Expenses are remeasured using the average exchange rate in effect during the period. Gains and losses arising from remeasurement of the wholly owned subsidiary’s financial statements are included in the determination of net loss.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements including: expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Estimates are used in the following areas, among others: settlement of debt or other
obligations, stock-based compensation, research and development expense recognition, intangible asset estimated useful lives and impairment assessments, allowances of deferred tax assets, and cash flow assumptions regarding going concern considerations.
Operating Segment:
The Company operates inone business segment, which includes the business of research and development activities related to the development of therapeutic products that treat rare and orphan diseases for which there are currently very limited or no approved treatments or cures. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net loss for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods.
In addition to the significant expense categories included within consolidated net loss presented on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, see below for disaggregated amounts that comprise research and development expenses:
| · · · · · · · · · · · · | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| External clinical development expenses | | $2,475,836 | | $1,637,683 | | $4,959,301 | | $3,334,914 |
| Personnel related and stock-based compensation | | 1,027,495 | | 258,072 | | 1,749,752 | | 687,490 |

| Total research and development expenses | | $3,627,168 | | $2,050,585 | | $7,060,930 | | $4,424,724 |
Earnings (loss) per share:
The Company reports loss per share in accordance with ASC 260-10,Earnings Per Share, which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share gives effect to ordinary shares equivalents; however, other than unexercised prefunded warrants as described below, potential shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the number of shares excluded from the diluted net earnings (loss) per share included outstanding warrants to purchase 8,884,325 ADSs and outstanding stock options to purchase 1,025,618 ADSs, and outstanding warrants to purchase 1,108,159 ADSs and outstanding stock options to purchase 180,055 ADSs, respectively, as their inclusion in the denominator would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share included 824,498 ADS and 256,809 ADS respectively issuable with respect to unexercised prefunded warrants.
NOTE 4 – ACCRUED INTEREST AND FINANCING EXPENSE
On October 2, 2020, Quoin Inc. issued promissory notes (the “2020 Notes”) to certain investors (“2020 Noteholders”). The 2020 Notes were mandatorily convertible into 12 ADSs, subject to adjustment and were converted in 2021. The ADSs issued to the 2020 Noteholders did not include accrued interest. Two of thefive 2020 Noteholders received their amount due during the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Company’s estimate of the liability to the remaining three 2020 Noteholders was estimated to be $1,146,000 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Two of the remaining three 2020 Noteholders are related parties to the Company, the aggregate estimated liability to these parties was $339,000 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
There wasno interest expense recognized in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
Fair value is estimated using various valuation models, which utilize certain inputs and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The inputs and assumptions used in valuation models are classified in the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Quoted market prices for similar instruments in an active market; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations inputs of which are observable and can be corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs and assumptions that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset and liability. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining the appropriate hierarchy levels, the Company analyzes the assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value disclosure. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and which are classified as trading securities:
