Previous wording

We have funded our operations primarily through the private and public sale of our securities. Our net losses were $2.1 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our net losses were $15.5 million and $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $56.3 million. Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our current or future product candidates.

Current wording

We have funded our operations primarily through the private and public sale of our securities. Our net losses were $7.2 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $69.2 million. Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures and general and administrative expenditures. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our current or future product candidates.

Previous wording

To date, we have not recognized any revenue from product sales, and we do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, or license agreements with third parties, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales. However, there can be no assurance as to when we will generate such revenue, if at all. Collaboration revenue represents revenue from the DRL Development Agreement, as amended in June 2024, pursuant to which we granted Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. and its affiliate, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories SA, or collectively Dr. Reddy’s, an exclusive, royalty-bearing right and license to commercialize COYA 302, solely for use in patients with ALS in the United States, Canada, the European Union and the United Kingdom, or collectively, the New Territories.

Collaboration revenue includes two performance obligations, R&D Services and the License (both defined below). We allocate the transaction price to both performance obligations based on their estimated stand-alone selling price at contract inception. R&D Services revenue is recognized over time, using the inputs approach, by applying actual COYA 302 - ALS expenses against budgeted COYA 302 - ALS expenses. License revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the license or upon a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the event of a contract modification or achievement of milestones.

Previous wording

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we increase personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, conduct our clinical trials, including later-stage clinical trials, for current and future product candidates and prepare regulatory filings for our product candidates. In addition, we expect spending in 2025 to increase over 2024 spending levels driven primarily by the advancement of COYA 302 in a Phase 2 study in patients with ALS and in the preparation for an IND for the study of COYA 302 in patients with FTD. As described in the notes to financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the terms of our license we may be required to make payments to Methodist if certain milestones are achieved. This could result in significant charges to research and development in the period such milestones become probable of being achieved.

Previous wording

R&D Services revenue is calculated quarterly using the inputs approach, by applying actual COYA 302 expenses against budgeted COYA 302 expenses as the two inputs. Collaboration revenue was $4.0 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to R&D Services and License revenue. The increase of $0.4 million is primarily due to the immediate recognition of $3.3 million of License revenue upon receiving FDA acceptance of our IND for the Phase 2 Study and an increase in R&D Services revenue due to increased incurred expenses related to COYA 302.

Current wording

Collaboration revenue was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 related to R&D Services revenue.

Previous wording

Research and development expenses increased by $1.9 million from $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was due to a $0.7 million increase in our preclinical and clinical expenses primarily due to our clinical advancement of COYA 302 in ALS, a $0.9 million increase in internal research and development expenses, and a $0.3 million increase in sponsored research. For our clinical product candidate (COYA 302), we track our external research and development expenses on a candidate-by-candidate basis. Coincident with FDA's approval of our IND of COYA 302 in patients with ALS, in the third quarter of 2025, we characterized expenses related to COYA 302 for ALS as clinical product candidate expenses. Prior to the third quarter of 2025, all expenses associated with COYA 302 for ALS were included among the preclinical product candidate expenses captioned as COYA 300 Series. For our preclinical product candidates, we track our external research and development expenses by Series. External research and development expenses include fees paid to CROs and CMOs and fees paid to regulatory, clinical trial and manufacturing professional service firms largely in connection with preclinical activities necessary to prepare COYA 302 for its initial IND filing and launch of a Phase 2 clinical trial.

Current wording

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.1 million from $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in external preclinical and clinical product candidates, reflecting the timing of preclinical activities undertaken in early 2025 to support our IND applications for COYA 302 in ALS. The decrease was further driven by a $0.1 million decrease in sponsored research expense, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in internal research and development expenses. For our clinical product candidate (COYA 302), we track our external research and development expenses on a candidate-by-candidate basis. Coincident with FDA's approval of our IND of COYA 302 in patients with ALS and FTD, we characterized expenses related to COYA 302 for ALS and FTD as clinical product candidate expenses. Prior to IND approval, all expenses associated with COYA 302 for ALS and FTD were included among the preclinical product candidate expenses captioned as COYA 300 Series. For our preclinical product candidates, we track our external research and development expenses by Series. External research and development expenses include fees paid to CROs and CMOs and fees paid to regulatory, clinical trial and manufacturing professional service firms largely in connection with preclinical activities necessary to prepare COYA 302 for its initial IND filing and launch of a Phase 2 clinical trial.

Previous wording

Other income decreased by $0.2 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in interest and dividend income earned on cash balances.

Current wording

Other income increased by $0.1 million from the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on cash balances.

Previous wording

Since our inception, we have incurred operating losses from our operations through 2025. We have not yet commercialized any product and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all. Since our inception through September 30, 2025, we have funded our operations through the public and private sale of our equity securities, and payments from Dr. Reddy's in accordance with the DRL Development Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, we had $28.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and had an accumulated deficit of $56.3 million. We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the $23.0 million in gross proceeds from the Offering, to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least one year after the financial statements are issued. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be imprecise, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect.

We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be imprecise, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our total future capital requirements will depend on many factors and is subject to the risks and uncertainties set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Previous wording

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, ownership interests in our common stock will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening of global economic conditions, potential future global pandemics or health crises, and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit, banking and financial markets in the United States. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

In addition to the equity issuance and reimbursement of patent related expenses, we agreed to make contingent milestone payments to Methodist on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product or Licensed Service-by-Licensed Service basis upon the achievement of certain development, approval and sales milestones (i) related to the treatment of ALS totaling up to $0.3 million in the aggregate, and (ii) related to the treatment of each other indication (that is not ALS) totaling between $0.2 million and up to $0.4 million in the aggregate per indication. We are also required to pay Methodist, on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis, royalties (subject to customary reductions) equal to 1% to 10% of annual worldwide net sales of such licensed product during a defined royalty term. The applicable royalty percentage increases as Licensed Products are used to treat from one to more than three indications and if a given Licensed Product utilizes only T-reg cell therapy or is a combination of both T-reg cell therapy and exosomes. Therefore, the lowest tier is paid when there is only a single indication being addressed with a single product. The highest tier is paid only on combination products where there are three or more indications being served. We are also required to pay a low single digit percentage for certain licensed services. We are required to pay royalties at between 10%-20% of sublicense revenue. Effective January 1, 2025, the minimum amount which will be owed by us once commercialization occurs is $0.1 million annually.
