1. Nature of business and basis of presentation
Nature of business—Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage precision medicine oncology company focused on the discovery and development of targeted therapies for patients with biomarker-defined cancers. The Company began principal operations in 2006 and is headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The Company’s lead clinical program is APR-1051, a next-generation oral inhibitor of the WEE1 kinase. The Company also has a clinical-stage product candidate, ATRN-119, a novel oral macrocyclic ATR inhibitor; the Company has closed the ABOYA-119 Phase I study of ATRN-119 as it explores development opportunities for ATRN-119 in potential combination approaches. Both programs are the cornerstones of our pipeline of synthetic lethality-based cancer therapeutics and were internally discovered, developed, and evaluated by our dedicated team of chemists, scientists, and clinicians.
Basis of presentation and management plans—The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, clinical operations, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff and raising capital and has financed its operations through the issuance of convertible preferred stock and common stock.
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be maintained, that any therapeutic products developed will obtain required regulatory approval or that any approved or consumer products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant product sales.
Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its September 30, 2026 cash balance of approximately $37.8 million will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2028.
- Summary of significant accounting policies
The Company's complete listing of significant accounting policies is described in Note 2 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
Principles of consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Aprea Therapeutics AB, which was incorporated in May 2002, Aprea US, Inc., which was incorporated in June 2016 and ATR Pharmaceuticals LLC which was incorporated in May 2022. Management has concluded it has asingle reporting segment for purposes of reporting financial condition and results of operations. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements—The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2025 Form 10-K.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.
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 of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses as of and during the reporting period. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company assesses estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions, are used for, but not limited to, accounting for research and development costs.
Foreign currency and currency translation—The functional currency for Aprea Therapeutics AB is the Swedish Krona. Assets and liabilities of Aprea Therapeutics AB are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Operating expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
**Cash and cash equivalents—**The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
**Restricted cash—**The Company has restricted cash of $41,826 and $41,186 as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, that is securing the Company’s credit card program.
Fair value of financial instruments—The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants at measurement dates. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value. The hierarchy is based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
| ● | Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|---|
| ● | Level 2 inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted market prices, interest rates and yield curves. |
|---|
| ● | Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs developed using estimates or assumptions developed by the Company, which reflect those that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
|---|
To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term maturity.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock—The Company classifies the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity outside of stockholders’ equity on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets due to certain events that are not within the Company's control.
Accounting for leases—At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on specific facts and circumstances, the existence of an identified asset(s), if any, and the Company’s control over the use of the identified asset(s), if applicable. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right of use assets are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components as a single component. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right of use (ROU) lease assets, lease liabilities current and lease liabilities non-current. Fixed rents are included in the calculation of the lease balances while variable costs paid for certain operating and pass-through costs are excluded. Lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. The Company has also elected the short-term lease exemption for all leases with an original term of less than 12 months.
Revenue recognition— The Company’s revenue is primarily generated through grants from government and non-government organizations. Grant revenue is recognized during the period that the reimbursable research and development services occur, as qualifying expenses are incurred or conditions of the grants are met. Grant revenue received in advance is recorded as deferred grant revenue and recognized as revenue once the conditions for revenue recognition are met. Associated expenses are recognized when incurred as research and development expenses. The Company concluded that payments received under these grants represent conditional, nonreciprocal contributions, as described in ASC958,** Not-for-Profit Entities, and that the grants arenot within the scope of ASC606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as the organizations providing the grants donot meet the definition of a customer.
Research and development costs—Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses incurred in performing research and development activities include salaries and benefits, materials and supplies, preclinical expenses, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation of equipment, contract services, and other outside expenses. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to the Company by its vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as prepaid or accrued research and development. Deposits made by the Company with certain service providers that are to be applied to future payments due under the service agreements or returned to the Company if not utilized are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.
Net loss per share—The Company has reported losses since inception and has computed basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share after giving consideration to all potentially dilutive common shares, including options to purchase common stock, outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods, except where the effect of including such securities would be antidilutive. Because the Company has reported net losses since inception, these potential common shares have been anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per share have been the same.
Included within weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are 39,799,626 common shares issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants, which are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration, and as such, the shares are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders.
The following table sets forth the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to include them would be anti-dilutive (in common stock equivalent shares):
| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||
| | | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Convertible preferred stock (as converted) | | 15,596 | | 15,596 |
| Options to purchase common stock | 1,107,804 | 814,739 | ||
| Warrants to purchase common stock | 48,038,891 | 2,194,788 | ||
| Unvested restricted stock units | | 65,438 | | 31,008 |
| Total shares of common stock equivalents | 49,227,729 | 3,056,131 | ||
Segment Information—The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level considering the nature of the Company’s product candidates and services, class of customers and the regulatory environment in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the Company’s CODM manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a total company basis by assessing the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions and research and development projects that are in line with the Company’s long-term strategic goals. In making these decisions, the CODM uses consolidated financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, and allocating resources. The CODM performs this assessment based on the Company’s consolidated net loss. Through this analysis, the CODM assesses performance by comparing actual net loss versus the budget and then decides how to allocate resources to invest in the Company’s research and development programs. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. Other segment items included in consolidated net loss are interest income and foreign currency gain (loss), which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements—From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.
In February 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,” which amends Topic 270 to enhance interim reporting requirements. The amendments require additional disaggregation of certain expense categories, expanded interim disclosures for significant events or transactions, and alignment of certain interim disclosure requirements with annual reporting requirements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for fiscal years beginning after the same date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
6. Income Taxes
The Company hasno income tax expense due to operating losses incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax assets as, based on all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period.
Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Sweden tax law, certain changes in the Company’s ownership, including a sale of the Company or significant changes in ownership due to sales of equity, may have limited, or may limit in the future, the amount of net operating loss
carryforwards that could be used annually to offset future taxable income. For U.S. and Swedish income tax purposes, the Company has not completed a study to assess whether a change of control has occurred or whether there have been changes of control since the Company’s formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such study and because there could be additional changes of control in the future. As a result, the Company is not able to estimate the effect of the change in control, if any, on the Company’s ability to utilize U.S. or Swedish net operating losses or other tax attribute carryforwards in the future. For Swedish income tax purposes, the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to limitations in accordance with the country’s group contribution restriction laws.
The Company files tax returns in Sweden, the United States, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Income tax returns prior to 2022 in the United States and Massachusetts are no longer subject to examination and income tax returns prior to 2019 are no longer subject to examination in Sweden. The Company is not currently under examination by the IRS or any other jurisdictions for any tax years.
As tax law is complex and often subject to varied interpretations, it is uncertain whether some of the Company’s tax positions will be sustained upon examination. Tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions represent unrecognized tax benefits, which arise when the estimated benefit recorded in the Company’s financial statements differs from the amounts taken or expected to be taken in a tax return because of the uncertainties described above. Substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would benefit the Company’s effective income tax rate.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.1 million of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. As the Company’s uncertain tax positions can be offset by available net operating losses, the Company did not recognize interest and penalties for 2026 and 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) was enacted into law. The legislation made several changes to the U.S. tax code, including the return of 100% bonus depreciation, the ability to immediately deduct domestic research and development costs, a more favorable rule for deducting interest expenses, and updates to international tax rules around global intangible low-taxed income and foreign-derived intangible income. The Company has evaluated the impact of the OBBBA and determined it will have an immaterial impact on the consolidated financial results.
7. Commitments and contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025, and, to its knowledge, no material legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company hasnot recorded a provision for any contingent losses.
