Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of Business

Description of Business

CalciMedica, Inc. (“CalciMedica” or the “Company”) (f/k/a Graybug Vision, Inc.) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in February 2015, following the conversion of Graybug, LLC, which was organized in May 2011, and has its principal operations in La Jolla, California. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics that treat serious illnesses driven by inflammatory processes and direct cellular damage. The Company had a wholly owned subsidiary, CalciMedica Subsidiary, Inc. (“Private CalciMedica”), incorporated in Delaware in October 2006, which survived the Merger as more fully described below. The CalciMedica Subsidiary entity was dissolved and combined with the Company as of December 31, 2024.

Reverse Merger Transaction

On March 20, 2023, Graybug Vision, Inc. (“Graybug”) completed a reverse merger transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of November 21, 2022, as amended on February 10, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Graybug, Camaro Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Graybug (“Merger Sub”), and CalciMedica, Inc. (“Private CalciMedica”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Private CalciMedica, with Private CalciMedica surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Graybug (the “Merger”). Additionally, on March 20, 2023, Graybug changed its name from “Graybug Vision, Inc.” to “CalciMedica, Inc.” and Private CalciMedica changed its name from “CalciMedica, Inc.” to “CalciMedica Subsidiary, Inc.” At the completion of the Merger, the prior Private CalciMedica equity holders and the prior Graybug equity holders owned 72% and 28%, respectively, of the combined company, in each case, on a fully diluted basis using the treasury stock method and excluding out-of-the-money options and warrants.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with Private CalciMedica being treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.

Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $189.3 million as of December 31, 2025, and a net loss of $29.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $23.1 million. Substantially all of the Company’s operating losses resulted from expenses incurred in connection with its research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with its operations.

The Company expects to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as the Company initiates and continues the preclinical and clinical development of its product candidates and adds personnel necessary to operate as a company with an advanced clinical pipeline of product candidates. The Company expects that its operating losses will fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to timing of clinical development programs.

From inception to December 31, 2025, the Company has completed financings from the sale of preferred stock, warrants and common stock for total net proceeds of $146.2 million and issued convertible debt and convertible promissory notes for net proceeds of $18.3 million. In connection with the Merger, the Company received approximately $29.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $13.0 million. On February 28, 2025, the Company entered into the (“Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. for an initial $10.0 million of gross proceeds (see Note 13).

The Company intends to seek additional funding through public and private financings, debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing agreements. Although the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance of success in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, it at all, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to scale back or discontinue the advancement of the product candidates, reduce headcount, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity or cease operations.

Based on the Company’s current operating plans, management believes its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments may not be sufficient to fund its operations for a period of one year following the issuance of these financial statements. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes we are a going concern and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from any uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

If the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets, and might realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on its financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in the Company’s common stock.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the Company and CalciMedica Subsidiary, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2024. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Since Private CalciMedica was determined to be the accounting acquirer in connection with the Merger, for periods prior to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis for Private CalciMedica and did not include the combined entities activity or financial position. Subsequent to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 include Graybug’s activity from March 21, 2023 through December 31, 2025, and assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value. Historical share and per share figures of Private CalciMedica have been retroactively restated based on the merger exchange ratio of 0.0288.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of promissory notes, valuation of warrants and valuation of equity awards. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

Concentration of Credit Risk and other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash is deposited with major federally insured U.S. financial institutions. The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign currency exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements.

The Company is dependent on contract manufacturing organizations (“CMO”) to supply products for research and development of its product candidates, including preclinical and clinical studies, and for commercialization of its product candidates, if approved. The Company’s development programs could be adversely affected by any significant interruption in CMO’s operations or by a significant interruption in the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients and other components.

Products developed by the Company require approval from the FDA or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance the Company’s product candidates will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied approvals, approvals are delayed, or the Company is unable to maintain approvals received, such events could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of readily available cash in checking accounts, money market funds, commercial paper and U.S. government sponsored entities, such as mortgage-backed securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Short-term Investments

The Company invests excess cash in commercial paper and U.S. government sponsored entities, such as mortgage-backed securities. These investments are included in short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet, classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities are recognized in net gain (loss) in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Information

The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purpose of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The consolidated financial information is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company’s CODM is itschief executive officer. The Company’s singular focus is on developing highly selective calcium release-activated calcium channel inhibitors to improve outcomes for patients with acute inflammatory indications. No significant revenue has been generated since inception, and all tangible assets are held in the United States.

The Company operates asone operating segment focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics primarily in the U.S. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly reviewed by the chief executive officer, who is the Company's CODM, in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources on a consolidated basis.

The CODM makes decisions on resource allocation, assesses performance of the business, and monitors budget versus actual results using income from operations. Net loss is also a measure that is considered in monitoring budget versus actual results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

The following table presents information about reported segment loss and significant segment expenses for theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

a)

Stock-based compensation expense of $998,000 and $840,000, related to research and development and $1,973,000 and $1,473,000, related to general and administration have been excluded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

b)

Depreciation expense of $22,000 and $30,000 related to research and development and $24,000 and $28,000, related general and administration have been excluded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fair Value Promissory Note

As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the Company has elected the fair value option to account for its promissory note due to certain embedded features within the notes. The Company recognizes the promissory note at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations located on the change in fair value of financial instruments line item. Changes in fair value as a result of the Company’s own credit risk is reflected in other income in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the promissory note were expensed as incurred and not deferred (see Note 3).

Leases

The Company leases office space with an original lease term oftwelve months, is currently month-to-month and doesnot have a right-of-use asset or lease liability recorded. The Company's policy is not to record leases with an original term of twelve months or less on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for this short-term lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease is accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, and has been classified as an operating lease. Rent expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $126,000 and $121,000, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts, as well as fees paid to consultants, external research fees, license fees paid to third parties for use of their intellectual property, laboratory supplies and development of compound materials, associated overhead expenses and facilities and depreciation costs. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company estimates preclinical studies 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 the Company’s behalf. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. These estimates are based on communications with the third-party service providers, and on information available at each balance sheet date. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly. The estimates are trued up to reflect the best information available at the time of the financial statement issuance. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the Company’s estimate of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary.

General and Administrative Costs

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, including stock-based compensation, related to executive, finance, business development, legal, human resources and support functions, including professional fees for auditing, tax, consulting and patent-related services, rent and utilities and insurance.

Patent Costs

Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are expensed as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes costs that are directly associated with equity financings until such financings are consummated, at which time such costs are recorded against the gross proceeds of the offering. Should an in-process equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the Company’s statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company, based on little to no activity with its ATM Facility, expensed the deferred offering costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had costs associated with its ATM Facility (as defined in Note 6)and directly capitalized these costs against the gross proceeds in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Going forward the Company will continue to do so due to inconsistent activity with its ATM Facility.

Warrant Liability

As a result of the 2024 Private Placement (described in Note 6) and the Loan executed in 2025 (described in Note 5), certain warrants to purchase common stock were deemed freestanding warrants and are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a liability as of and for the period ending December 31, 2025.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of employee stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) and Common Stock Warrants (as defined in Note 6) recognized over the requisite service period of the awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants, RSU’s and Common Stock Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”). Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of stock-based compensation expense as they occur. Equity-based compensation expense is classified in the statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipients’ payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipients’ service payments are classified. The fair value of each stock option grant, RSU and Common Stock Warrant is estimated on the date of grant using Black Scholes. The following summarizes the inputs used:

Fair Value of Common Stock

The Company uses the closing stock price the day of the grant date for the fair value.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities similar to the expected term of the awards.

Expected Volatility

The Company uses an average volatility for comparable publicly-traded biopharmaceutical companies over a period equal to the expected term of the stock award grant as CalciMedica does not yet have sufficient historical trading history for its own stock. CalciMedica will continue to apply this method until a sufficient amount of historical information over a period equal to the expected term of the stock-based awards becomes available.

Expected Term

The Company used the simplified method to calc ulate the expected term for all grants during all periods, which is based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.

Expected Dividend Yield

The Company has never paid and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes net deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If management determines that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, management would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) management determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, management recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. Any accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources which are excluded from net loss. The Company’s only element of other comprehensive loss is unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities invested as cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Related Party Transactions

The Company’s board of directors reviews and approves transactions with directors, officers and holders of 5% or more of its voting securities and their affiliates, each a related party. The material facts as to the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction are disclosed to its board of directors prior to their consideration of such transaction, and the transaction is not considered approved by its board of directors unless a majority of the directors who are not interested in the transaction approve the transaction.

Beginning in November 2020, Private CalciMedica had paid consulting fees monthly to a consulting firm affiliated with the Company’s interim chief financial officer in connection with its consulting agreement. In November 2024, the interim chief financial officer was replaced with a chief financial officer. CalciMedica recorded expense of$289,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the consolidated statement of operations.

In May 2024, the Company granted a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to a consulting firm affiliated with the Company’s former interim chief financial officer. The warrant is classified as equity, and the Company recorded expense of $7,000 and $13,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss is equivalent to net loss attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented. Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company calculates diluted net loss per share using the more dilutive of the (1) treasury stock method, if-converted method, or contingently issuable share method, as applicable, or (2) the two-class method. For warrants, the calculation of diluted net loss per share requires that, to the extent the average fair value of the underlying shares for the reporting period exceeds the exercise price of the warrants and the presumed exercise of such securities are dilutive to net loss per share for the period, adjustments to net loss used in the calculation are required to remove the change in fair value of the warrants for the period.

In the periods presented, the Company’s outstanding stock options, RSU’s and warrants, other than the Pre-Funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) which requires public entities to disclose in the notes to financial statements, of additional specified information about certain costs and expenses. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements("ASU 2025-11"). ASU 2025-11 is intended to improve the navigability of guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and permits prospective or full retrospective adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements ("ASU 2025-12"). ASU 2025-12 addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued a new accounting standard (ASU 2023-09)Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”) which improves income tax disclosure requirements. The new standard will require more detailed information on several income tax disclosures, such as income taxes paid and the income tax rate reconciliation table. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard for the year ended December 31, 2025 and does not have material effect on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The Company's assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value include cash equivalents, short-term investments, the promissory note and warrants for common stock. All assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are revalued at each measurement period.

The Company elected the fair value option for the promissory note and estimated the fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis, a form of the income approach. Several different settlement scenarios were considered, and probability weighted to arrive at the final valuation. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the promissory note can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of the different settlement scenarios, or changes in discount rates. Judgment is used in determining these assumptions as of the initial valuation date and at each subsequent reporting period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period.

The Common Warrants (as defined in Note 6) were valued using Black-Scholes utilizing the following inputs; (i) a risk-free interest rate; (ii) volatility based on the expected term of the Common Warrant; (iii) and an exercise price and stock price on the date of the transaction. Several different scenarios were considered, and probability weighted to arrive at the final valuation. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the Common Warrants can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of the different settlement scenarios. Judgment is used in determining these assumptions as of the initial valuation date and at each subsequent reporting period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values (in thousands):

Money market funds are highly liquid investments which are actively traded. The pricing information on the Company’s money market funds is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commercial paper, U.S. treasury bills and U.S. Government sponsored entities - mortgage-backed are classified as Level 2 with in the hierarchy and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity until realized. The Company estimates the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the 21.0% United States federal statutory rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily related to the change in valuation allowance on the Company's net deferred tax assets, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, research and development tax credits, changes in unrecognized tax benefits under ASC 740-10, state and local income taxes net of federal benefit primarily attributable to California, and other nondeductible items.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the 21.0% U.S. federal statutory rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily related to the change in valuation allowance on the Company's net deferred tax assets, mark-to-market adjustments on warrant liabilities, research and development tax credits net of uncertain tax positions, state and local income taxes net of federal benefit, and permanent differences.

The Company hadno cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds received, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) specifically by IRC §382, the Company’s ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income is limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year testing period. The Company has not completed an ownership change analysis pursuant to IRC Section 382. If ownership changes within the meaning of IRC Section 382 are identified as having occurred, the amount of remaining tax attribute carryforwards available to offset future taxable income and income tax expense in future years may be significantly reduced. Any limitation may result in the expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards before utilization.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes. Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process, whereby the Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authority, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merit. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold to be recognized. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company hadno accrual for interest and penalties and has not recognized interest and/ or penalties in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Uncertain tax positions are evaluated based upon the facts and circumstances that exist at each reporting period. Subsequent changes in judgment based upon new information may lead to changes in recognition, derecognition, and measurement. Adjustments may result, for example, upon resolution of an issue with the taxing authorities or expiration of a statute of limitations barring an assessment for an issue.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions was approximately $4.5 million and $11.8 million respectively. If recognized, this would affect the effective tax rate, subject to valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Due tonet operating losses incurred, tax years from inception remain open to examination by the Federal and State taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. The Company is not currently under Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”), state or local tax examination.
