Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Description of business
TuHURA Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company with three distinct technologies focused on the development of novel therapeutics designed to overcome primary and acquired resistance to cancer immunotherapies.
Our proprietary Immune Fx TM technology platform, or IFx, is an innate immune agonist technology designed to “trick” the body’s immune system to attack tumor cells by making tumor cells look like bacteria. Our lead product candidate, IFx2.0, is an innate immune agonist designed to overcome primary resistance to checkpoint inhibitors. In June 2025, we initiated a single randomized placebo-controlled Phase 3 registration trial of IFx-2.0 administered as an adjunctive therapy to Keytruda®(pembrolizumab) in first line treatment for patients with advanced or metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma who are checkpoint inhibitor naïve utilizing the FDA’s accelerated approval pathway.
In addition to our IFx technology platform, in June 2025 we acquired the rights to TBS-2025, a novel VISTA-inhibiting monoclonal antibody formerly known as KVA1213, through our acquisition of Kineta Inc. (“Kineta”) via merger on June 30, 2025 (the “Kineta Merger”). VISTA (otherwise referred to as V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation) is an immune checkpoint highly expressed on myeloid cells that is believed to be a strong driver of immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment and is believed to be a primary mechanism by which leukemic blasts escape immune recognition contributing to low response rates and high rates of recurrence in acute myeloid leukemia, or AML. Following our acquisition of Kineta, we are currently planning on investigating TBS-2025 in a Phase1b/2 trial in patients with r/rmut NPM1AML.
In addition to IFx and TBS-2025, we are leveraging our Delta Opioid Receptor (DOR) technology to develop first-in-class bi-functional, bi-specific antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”) targeting the DOR on Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSCs”) to modulate their immunosuppressive influence on the bone marrow and tumor microenvironment to prevent T cell exhaustion and acquired resistance to checkpoint inhibitors and cellular therapies.
The Kineta Merger was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, as determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820") as of the acquisition date. See note 5 Merger with Kineta, Inc.
In connection with the closing of the Kineta Merger, the Company held its special meeting of the stockholders in lieu of an annual meeting on June 23, 2025 (the “Special Meeting”) to submit, among other proposals, the proposal to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Share Increase Proposal”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Authorized Share Increase Proposal, and the Company subsequently filed articles of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000.
Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis for Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the United States dollar.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adgero Biopharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., Adgero Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., Kineta, LLC, and TuHURA Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy TuHURA”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below and have been consistently applied to all periods presented.
Reclassification – The Company reclassified the break-out of $440,340 merger-related costs for 2024 into a separate line item in the consolidated statement of operations. In the prior year, such amount had been included in the line item "general and administrative expenses".
Accounting Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect various amounts reported in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deferred Offering Costs – Deferred offering costs consist of direct legal, accounting, and other fees and costs directly related to the Merger with Kintara (See note 6) and the 2025 Offerings. The Company capitalized deferred offering costs and recorded them as a direct reduction of stockholders’ equity.
Property and Equipment– Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally five toseven years). Leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line over theshorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31,2025 and 2024.
Lease Accounting– The Company recognizes right-of-use lease assets and corresponding liabilities arising from leasing activities over the requisite lease period.
Income Taxes– Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which enhances the income tax disclosure requirements for public entities on an annual basis. Under ASU 2023-09, public entities will be required to disclose in their rate reconciliation, on an annual basis, both percentages and amounts in their reporting currency for certain categories in a tabular format, with accompanying qualitative disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard and applied the disclosure requirements on a prospective basis effective for the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2025. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and additional disclosures have been included in Note 11, Income Taxes.
Grant Income - In April 2021, the Company received approval from the Department of Health and Human Services for a $400,000 grant. The grant was to conduct research for a low-cost topical immunotherapy formulation suitable for treating cervical cancer in low and middle-income countries and low resource settings in the U.S. Additionally, the Company assumed in the reverse merger with Kintara, a $2,000,000 Business Innovation Research grant, a two year grant that was initiated in June 2023 and expired on December 31, 2025,as amended, to support the clinical development of REM-001 for the treatment of CMBC and had a remaining balance of $900,000 as of the merger date. For the years ended December 31,2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $714,000 and $58,000 of grant income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Research and Development Expenses – Research and development consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of product candidates. The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risk – The Company maintains cash balances in domestic financial institutions. These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. As of December 31,2025, the uninsured portion of cash held by the Company was approximately $3,634,000.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or 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 a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between the following:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
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 carrying values reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items.
Derivative Financial Instruments –The Company evaluates all of its agreements to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company accounts for certain make-whole features that are associated with convertible notes as derivative liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Derivative financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value recognized in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for each reporting period while such instruments are outstanding. The embedded derivative liabilities are valued using a probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”). The critical inputs used to value the PWERM are a discount rate, the estimated make-whole interest payments for various settlement scenarios and the probability of each settlement scenario. If the Company repays the noteholders or if, during the next round of financing, the noteholders convert the debt into equity, the derivative financial liabilities will be de-recognized and reclassified to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ (deficit) equity on that date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Debt Discount and Debt Issuance Costs-Debt issuance costs are deferred and presented as a reduction to the convertible note payable. The initial fair value of the derivative liability on the make-whole premium is treated as a debt discount. Debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the convertible promissory note. Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs are included within interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Warrants –The Company has issued warrants to investors on debt and equity raises. In accordance with ASC Topic 470-20-25, when the Company issues debt with warrants, the Company treats the warrants as a debt discount, recorded as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of the discount as interest expense in the statements of operations. The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid-in capital in the Company’s balance sheets if the warrants on the debt are not treated as a derivative or as liability warrants. The Company determines the fair value of the warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock Compensation Expense –The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and nonemployees using the fair value-based method to determine compensation for all arrangements where shares of stock or equity instruments are issued for compensation. Fair value of each common stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of a peer group’s common stock and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of the options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the average vesting term plus the contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield.
Common Stock Valuation – We are required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying our equity awards when performing fair value calculations. Prior to our shares trading on the Nasdaq Capital Markets on October 18, 2024, the fair value of the common stock underlying our equity awards was determined on each grant taking into account input from management and the pricing offered in our equity raises. All options to purchase shares of our common stock are intended to be granted with an exercise price per share no less than the fair value per share of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant, based on the information known to us on the date of grant. In the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, on each grant date we develop an estimate of the fair value of our common stock in order to determine an exercise price for the option grants. Our determinations of the fair value of our common stock were made by considering the prices of preferred stock sold to investors in arm’s length transactions and the rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to those of our common stock.
Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions – We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values if the acquisition meets the definition of a business combination. If the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination, then it is accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase consideration is allocated to the acquired assets.
ASC 805, Business Combinations, provides a model for determining whether an acquisition represents a business combination. In order to be a business, the integrated set of activities of the acquired entity needs to have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired entity must also pass the “Screen Test” which involves determining whether the acquisition represents an in-substance asset acquisition based on whether the fair value of the gross assets acquired is “substantially all” concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. This evaluation excludes certain acquired assets such as cash, deferred taxes, and goodwill associated with deferred taxes, but includes all other gross assets, including any consideration transferred in excess of the identified assets.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets – Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”). The fair values of IPR&D project assets acquired in business combinations are capitalized. We utilized the Cost Method to determine the estimated fair value of the IPR&D assets acquired in our recent business combination with Kineta. These assets are treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets are amortized over the remaining useful life or written off, as appropriate.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives, including IPR&D, are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a one-step analysis that compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the value of our intangible assets with indefinite lives may not be recoverable, including, but not limited to, the cost of equity and debt capital, general economic conditions, outlook and market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance.
We will evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Goodwill – Goodwill represents the amount of consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired as a result of the Company’s business acquisitions accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to impairment testing at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or when a triggering event occurs that may indicate the carrying value of the goodwill is impaired. An entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is less than its carrying amount.
We will evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Segment data - The Company operates in one reportable segment, which includes all activities related to advancing therapies for cancer treatment. The determination of a single reportable segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), which is itschief 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. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. There isno segment revenue for the years ended December 31,2025, and 2024. The accounting policies of the cancer treatment segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. All tangible assets are held in the United States.
Net loss per share - Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive given the Company has reported net losses for each period presented.
Note 3—Liquidity and management’s plans
The Company has been engaged in research and development activities related to ImmuneFx, the Company’s patented product, which will require additional investment until revenue-generating activities can begin.
The Company has historically incurred negative cash flows from operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $27.6 million of negative cash flows from operations. The Company has approximately $3.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31,2025. The Company expects that its existing capital resources, including the $7.0 million Registered Direct Offering funds received in the first quarter of 2026 will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned future operations into the early third quarter of 2026.
The Company expects to raise cash through the sale of capital stock and warrants, debt issuances, obtaining grants, or commercial partnerships. However, there can be no assurance that any fundraising will be achieved or on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from date that the financial statements were available to be issued.
Note 4—Net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $(30,060,333) | $(22,649,572) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted | 47,927,196 | 18,662,690 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders - basic and diluted | $(0.63) | $(1.21) |
Common stock warrants in the amount of 297,029 issued to our financial advisor, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, were not outstanding as common shares as of December 31,2025 and 2024, however included in the weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted as if they were considered outstanding.
The Company’s potential dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. For the years ended December 31,2025 and 2024, the Company excluded the following potential common shares from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the period because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| As of December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options issued and outstanding | 18,031,425 | 6,403,818 |
| Unvested restricted stock units | 57 | 114 |
| Warrants | 23,644,268 | 10,609,855 |
| Total | 41,675,750 | 17,013,787 |
Note 5—Merger with Kineta, Inc.
On June 30, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Kineta pursuant to the terms of the TuHURA-Kineta Merger Agreement. Kineta is a clinical-biotechnology company, with a mission to develop next-generation immunotherapies, focused on discovering and developing potentially differentiated immunotherapies that address the mechanism of cancer immune resistance. Kineta’s VISTA blocking immunotherapy, KVA12123, was acquired along with worldwide patents, patent rights, patent applications, product and development program assets, technical and business information, and other rights and assets derived from the development program. The Company renamed the VISTA blocking immunotherapy technology from KVA12123 to TBS-2025. The Company anticipates synergies, such as having control over the VISTA blocking immunotherapy development program, continuing employment of Kineta former CEO, and a consulting agreement with Kineta’s former CSO, will further enhance our activities advancing therapies for cancer treatment.
Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The allocation of the consideration for the net assets acquired for the acquisition of Kineta were as follows.
| June 30, | |
|---|---|
| Purchase Consideration | |
| Exclusivity cash deposit | $5,994,502 |
| Equity issued to Kineta shareholders | 6,396,017 |
| Holdback liability issued in equity | 2,519,644 |
| Cash previously advanced for clinical trial funding and working capital | 1,650,000 |
| Fair value of consideration | $16,560,163 |
| Assets Acquired: | |
| Cash | $390,721 |
| Acquired in-process research and development | 11,275,000 |
| Total assets acquired | 11,665,721 |
| Liabilities Assumed: | |
| Accrued expenses, assumed debt, and severance liabilities | $(5,645,721) |
| Deferred tax liability | (197,919) |
| Total liabilities assumed | (5,843,640) |
| Net assets acquired | 5,822,081 |
| Goodwill | $10,738,082 |
Thefair value of equity was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the Kineta Merger, and included 3,998,053 shares of common stock at $2.23 per share. There were 1,129,885 shares of delayed consideration to satisfy any necessary adjustments, including any net working capital adjustments, and recorded at its acquisition date fair value and classified as a liability within current liabilities as holdback liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at the acquisition date.
Ultimately, as of December 31, 2025, there were 3,997,761 shares of the Company’s common stock (adjusted for fractional shares) issued under the TuHURA-Kineta Merger Agreement.
The delayed consideration was settled in Company shares of common stock and recorded at its fair value through the settlement date of December 30, 2025 with changes recorded to earnings. Additionally, the estimated fair value of the delayed consideration settled in equity used both observable and unobservable inputs, specifically considering the price of the Company's common stock, as well as the probability of the payout at the end of the holding period, and considered a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under change in fair value of Kineta merger holdback shares. On December 30, 2025, the Company issued 1,129,593 using a closing price of $0.76 and recognized a gain of $1,590,949 for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the change in fair value.
Included in consideration transferred is the settlement of the pre-existing Clinical Trial Funding Agreement and working capital loans owed by Kineta to the Company, which were effectively settled and became intercompany arrangements as of the closing of the transaction. The settlement of pre-existing relationships between the Company and Kineta did not result in any material gain or loss.
The Company estimated the fair value of the IPR&D assets using the cost approach, which is based on the amount that a market participant would incur to recreate the assets, adjusted for obsolescence, inefficiencies, and the current stage of completion of the underlying development efforts. Significant assumptions used in the valuation included estimates of direct and indirect development costs and te Company's weighted average cost of capital.
The fair value of the assumed accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable were deemed to be equivalent to their carrying value due to the short-term nature of their obligations.
The Company incurred approximately $3.7 and $0.4 million in transaction costs for the Kineta Merger during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and recorded as acquisition-related costs in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of TuHURA as if the acquisition of Kineta had taken place on January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025. The pro forma information includes acquisition-related expenses. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction been effected on the assumed date.

Note 6 – Merger with Kintara Therapeutics
On October, 18, 2024, the Company's Merger with Kintara Therapeutics closed. Under the terms of the Merger, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, shares of the Company’s preferred stock were converted into shares of Company common stock and all of the Notes issued by the Company were converted into shares of Company common stock pursuant to the terms therein. At the effective time of the Merger, (i) Kintara issued an aggregate of approximately 40,441,605 shares of its common stock to Company stockholders, based on an exchange ratio of 0.1789 (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) shares of Kintara’s common stock for each share of Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, (ii) each then-outstanding Company stock option was assumed and converted into an option to purchase shares of Kintara common stock subject to certain adjustments based on the exchange ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (iii) each then-outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock was assumed and converted into and exchangeable based on the exchange ratio for a warrant of like tenor entitling the holder to purchase shares of Kintara common stock.
The Kintara merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under which the historical financial statements of the Company prior to the Merger are the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, Legacy TuHURA. All share, per share and related information presented in the consolidated financial statements and notes prior to the Merger has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio and Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. Immediately after the merger, there were 42,032,165 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.
The following table shows the net liabilities assumed in the merger:
| October 18, | |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $70,097 |
| Prepaid and other assets | 370,030 |
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | (1,787,039) |
| Total net liabilities assumed | (1,346,912) |
| Plus: merger transaction costs | (4,129,663) |
| Total net liabilities assumed plus merger transaction costs | $(5,476,575) |
Inconnection with the Merger, Kintara entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, pursuant to which the holders of Kintara common stock and Kintara common stock warrants, as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, received one contingent value right (a “CVR”) for each outstanding share of common stock held by such stockholder (or, in the case of warrants, each share of common stock for which such warrant is exercisable into). Following the achievement of certain prescribed milestones, each CVR holder received in December 2025 its pro rata portion of 1,539,918 shares of TuHURA common stock.

Note 10—Debt
Assumed debt from Kineta Merger
As part of the Kineta Merger, the Company assumed debt with a fair value in the amount of $434,000. The assumed debt was settled and paid in July 2025.
Promissory notes to former Kineta employees
In exchange for separation payments assumed from the Kineta Merger forfive of the former Kineta employees, the Company issued promissory notes totaling approximately $590,000 in the aggregate at 10% interest payable monthly from September 2025 to February 2026. The current balance is approximately $197,000 and interest payments of $39,000 were paid as of December 31, 2025
Bridge Loan Transaction
On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with an accredited investor and shareholder of the Company (the "Lender"). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to make loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up the $3,000,000 (the "Loans") during a 30-day availability period beginning on the date of the Loan Agreement. The monthly interest rate on the Loan Agreement was 3.0% and had a maturity date of December 31, 2025. On December 2, 2025, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the "Amendment") pursuant to which (i) the Lender agreed to extend the 30-day availability period to December 5, 2025, and (ii) the Company and Lender agreed that warrants issuable to the Lender under the Loan agreement would consist of a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of Company common stock for each $1.5 million of funds borrowed under the Loan Agreement (including the First Loan), prorated for borrowings less than $1.5 million. Except for the forgoing, the Amendment included no further changes to the original loan agreement.
The Lender advanced $1,500,000 on October 27, 2025 and $1,500,000 on December 2, 2025 that were used for working capital purposes. On December 12, 2025, the Company paid $1,500,000 principal balance, $180,000 in loan fees and $15,000 in interest payments. The remaining $1,500,000 principal balance, $180,000 in loan fees, and $67,500 in interest was exchanged for 1,059,090 shares of common stock in the registered direct offering (see note 12).
In addition, on the date of the First loan and Second loan, the Company issued warrants in an aggregate of 65,217 and 234,783 with an exercise price of $2.30 and $1.81 to purchase shares of Company common stock (the "Lender Warrant"). The Lender Warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire on the date that is two years from the date of issuance. The Company determined that the relative fair value of the Bridge Loan Warrants amounted to $301,424 and recognized as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in capital. The fair value associated with the warrants was determined using Black-Sholes pricing model using the terms of the agreement and the following assumptions - expected term of 2 years, dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 110.5% and a risk free rate of 3.48%.
Convertible promissory notes
On various dates beginning on December 11, 2023 through September 18, 2024, the Company completed a private placement in which the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) with various entities at various amounts for an aggregate of $31,253,000. The Notes bear interest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum and were scheduled to mature on thesecond anniversary of the issuance date. In addition, the investors in the private placement also received common stock purchase warrants (the “2024 Warrants”) in the event they subscribe to purchase Notes in the aggregate principal amount of more than $4.0 million or more, with such number of 2024 Warrants being equal to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note purchased divided by $3.80. The 2024 Warrants related to these Notes have an exercise price of $5.70 per share and expire three years from the date of issuance. On October 18, 2024, under automatic conversion features upon the occurrence of a reverse public merger transaction, the convertible notes payable converted to common stock and the derivative liability associated with the make-whole provision discussed below was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Conversion feature under reverse public merger transaction
Under a reverse public merger transaction, the Notes convert at the sum of (a) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest at the time of the transaction, plus (b) a Make-Whole Amount premium, defined in the Notes as additional interest to be incurred until the next period end date as defined in the Notes, divided by a conversion price equal to $3.80. Upon closing of the Kintara merger on October 18, 2024, the Notes were converted into shares of common stock.
The Company evaluated the terms of the Notes for embedded conversion features in accordance with ASC 815-15-25 and determined that the conversion features meet the definition of an embedded derivative liability that is required to be bifurcated from the host instrument and measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Management used a scenario-based analysis to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative liability at issuance of the Notes. The Company recognized debt discount of $2,539,227 upon issuance of the Notes.
Warrants issued in connection with convertible notes
The 2024 Warrants were identified as freestanding financial instruments and determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. Further, the 2024 Warrants were not precluded from being classified within equity. As such, the proceeds received upon issuing the Notes were first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative with the remainder allocated to the debt host instrument and 2024 Warrants (within additional paid in capital) on a relative fair value basis. Subsequent fair value measurement is not required as long as the instrument continues to be classified in equity. The Company determined that the fair value of the 2024 Warrants in connection with Notes issued amounted to $6,520,056 and recognized as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in capital.

The Company has Federal and State net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of approximately $416.4 million and $154.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. $334.2 million in federal NOLs were generated in tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2018 and can be deducted at 100% of income, some of these NOLs start to expire in 2026. The remaining Federal NOLs of $82.2 million were generated in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and have an infinite carryforward period but are subject to 80% deduction limitation based upon pre-NOL deduction taxable income. State NOLs generated have various expiration rules and dates with the first amount of NOLs expiring in 2027.
The utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and research tax credit carryovers could be subject to annual limitations under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and similar state tax provisions, due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382 and 383 of the Code, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percent points over a three-year period.
The Company has approximately $0.2 million of federal and state deferred tax liabilities which the Company expects will be a future source of income for which deferred tax benefit can be recognized in the U.S. After consideration of this income source, the Company has net deferred tax assets of $123.0 million before considering the valuation allowance.
The Company has completed a scheduling exercise to demonstrate the timing of the reversal of its taxable temporary differences to ensure they will reverse in a period in which the deferred tax assets are available to be utilized. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that federal and deferred tax assets would be available to be utilized in all such periods with the exception of certain tax years where an IPR&D related taxable difference is expected to generate future taxable income. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability has been recorded for the expected amount of deferred tax liabilities that cannot be offset by deferred tax assets.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company performed a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by GAAP. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return or planned to be taken in a future tax return that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. The Company has determined that it does not have any material uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties related to any uncertain tax positions in the consolidated statement of operations.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modification to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other implemented through 2027. The Company does not anticipate the bill will have a material impact on the financial statements.

In August 2024, the Company extended the exercise period of its common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with Legacy TuHURA Series A Preferred Stock (the “Legacy Series A Warrants”) for an additional six months, with a new expiry date of February 12, 2025. There were no other changes in the terms of the Legacy Series A Warrants.
