Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiary, referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Revelation,” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage life science company developing innovative solutions to treat acute and chronic disease. We are developing a pipeline of potential high-value products based on Gemini. Gemini is our proprietary formulation of PHAD, an established TLR4 agonist that can stimulate the human body’s innate immune response to prevent and treat disease. Our current Gemini programs consist of: GEM-AKI, which is being developed as a potential therapy for the treatment of acute kidney injury (“AKI”); and GEM-CKD, which is being developed as a potential therapy for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) (together the “Product Candidates”). The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 20, 2019 (originally as Petra Acquisition, Inc.) and is based in San Diego, California.
The Company’s common stock and warrants sold in its initial public offering (“Public Warrants”) are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “REVB” and “REVBW”, respectively.
Reverse Stock Split
On October 20, 2026, the Company effected the approved 1-for-7 reverse stock split of our shares of common stock (the “October 2026 Reverse Split”). No fractional shares were outstanding following the October 2026 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
On January 28, 2026, the Company effected the approved 1-for-4 reverse stock split of our shares of common stock (the “January 2026 Reverse Split”). No fractional shares were outstanding following the January 2026 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
On July 7, 2025, the Company effected the approved 1-for-3 reverse stock split of our shares of common stock (the “July 2025 Reverse Split”). No fractional shares were outstanding following the July 2025 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share.
On January 28, 2025, the Company effected the approved 1-for-16 reverse stock split of our shares of common stock (the “January 2025 Reverse Split”). No fractional shares were outstanding following the January 2025 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share.
Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, the share and per share information that follows in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), reflects the effect of the reverse stock splits described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including a net loss of$9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$59.1 million, a stockholders’ equity of$7.2 million and available cash and cash equivalents of$9.1 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future as it continues to complete all necessary product development or future commercialization efforts. The Company has never generated revenue and does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for the Product Candidates or other product candidates, which the Company expects will not be for at least several years, if ever. The Company does not anticipate that its current cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to sustain operations within one year after the date that the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements for September 30, 2026 were issued, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
To continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, to raise additional capital resources. The Company plans to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, it could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect the Company’s business operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for September 30, 2026, have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as 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 classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Revelation Biosciences, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entity have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position. The financial data and the other financial information contained in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are unaudited. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 included on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Selected significant accounting policies are discussed in further detail below:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical and industry experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In net loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are identical because the otherwise dilutive potential common shares become anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share includes shares held in abeyance because there is no consideration required for delivery of the shares and shares underlying vested restricted stock units for which the shares have not been issued, and excludes shares of restricted stock that are issued but unvested.
The potential common share equivalents that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share but could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future are as follows:
| September 30,2026 | September 30,2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Common stock warrants | 1,273,796 | 709,485 |
| Stock options | 3 | 3 |
| Restricted stock units | 42,669 | - |
| Total potentially dilutive securities | 1,316,468 | 709,488 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses(“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures and disaggregation of certain costs and expenses presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
In November 2025, the Company entered into a new lease for laboratory and office space (the “Oberlin Lease”), which commenced on December 1, 2025. The Oberlin Lease, which is an operating lease, has a non-cancelable term ofthree years, with onethree-year renewal option at fair market value. The Oberlin Lease requires base monthly rent of approximately $33,000 which escalates annually by 3%, and contains provisions for free rent periods and an allowance for tenant improvements of up to approximately $54,000. In addition to base rent, the Oberlin Lease requires the Company to pay certain taxes, insurance and operating costs relating to the leased premises, which represent variable lease costs. On the lease commencement date, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $741,000 on its consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2026, the remaining lease term of the Oberlin Lease was 2.2 years.
The Company also leases office space located in San Diego, California, through a month-to-month rental agreement, with monthly rent of $151. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company leased laboratory space on a month-to-month basis with monthly rent equal to $5,350. That lease was terminated effective December 31, 2025.
Commitments
The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with third party service providers and vendors. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice and, therefore, are cancellable contracts and not considered contractual obligations and commitments.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may become subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is it aware of any material pending or threatened litigation.
- Financings
2025 Public Offering
On May 29, 2025, the Company closed a public offering of 8,036 shares of its common stock,35,298 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0084 which did not have an expiration date (the “Class H Pre-Funded Warrant”) and 14,560,000 warrants to purchase 173,337 shares of common stock with an initial exercise price of $92.40 which expire on June 23, 2030 (the “Class H Common Stock Warrants”), at a combined offering price of $92.40 per share of common stock and associated Class H Common Stock Warrants, or $92.33 per Class H Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Class H Common Stock Warrants (the “May 2025 Public Offering”). Net cash proceeds to the Company from the offering were $3.4 million. The shares of common stock issued, the shares of common stock underlying the Class H Pre-Funded Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Class H Common Stock Warrants were registered with the SEC on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287423), as amended, that was declared effective by the SEC on May 28, 2025. During 2025, all of the Class H Pre-Funded Warrants and certain of the Class H Common Stock Warrants were exercised. See additional discussion below under Class H Warrant Inducement and Common Stock Issuances during the year ended December 31, 2025 (See Note 7).
Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”)was engaged by the Company to act as its exclusive placement agent for the May 2025 Public Offering. The Company paid Roth a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the May 2025 Public Offering, totaling $0.3 million.
The May 2025 Public Offering triggered the down-round feature of the Class C Common Stock Warrants, the Class D Common Stock Warrants, and the Class G Common Stock Warrants, resulting in a reduction in the exercise price of these warrants. In accordance with ASC 260, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $3.2 million related to the price reset of the Class G Common Stock Warrants during 2025 (see Note 9).
Class H Warrant Inducement
On September 10, 2025, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Class H Warrant Inducement”) with certain holders of 13,065,000 Class H Common Stock Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 155,537 shares of its common stock, at an exercise priceof $61.60 per share. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue 466,609 Class I Common Stock Warrants. The Class H Warrant Inducement was considered a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with the Class H Warrant Inducement, the Company paid Roth a cash fee of approximately $0.8 million for its services. The Company received net cash proceeds of approxim ately $8.7 million, which is net of issuance costs of approxima tely $0.9 million. The shares of common stock issued from the exercise of the Class H Common Stock Warrants were registered with the SEC on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287423), which was declared effective by the SEC on May 28, 2025. The Class I Common Stock Warrants offered in the private placement were registered on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290309) with the SEC and was declared effective on September 30, 2025 (See Note 9).
The Class H Warrant Inducement, which resulted in the issuance of the Class I Common Stock Warrants in exchange for the cash exercise of the Class H Common Stock Warrants, is considered a modification of the Class H Warrants under the guidance of ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the “Equity Issuance” classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Class H Common Stock Warrants to cash exercise their warrants, resulting in the imminent exercise of the Class H Common Stock Warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds for the Company. As the Class H Common Stock Warrants and the Class I Common Stock Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $0.1 million as an equity issuance cost. The amount of the equity issuance cost recognized for the warrant modification was determined at the incremental fair value of the modified Class H Common Stock Warrants immediately before and after the warrant modification (see Note 9).
Due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions in the inducement offer letters, certain of the shares were initially unissued, and held in abeyance for the benefit of the warrant holders, until notice from the warrant holders that the shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation is received. As of December 31, 2025, there were 26,881 shares held in abeyance related to the Class H Warrant Inducement that were released during thenine months ended September 30, 2026, resulting in no abeyance shares outstanding as of September 30, 2026.
The Class H Warrant Inducement triggered the down-round feature of the Class C Common Stock Warrants, the Class D Common Stock Warrants, the Class G Common Stock Warrants, and the remaining Class H Common Stock Warrants, resulting in a reset of the exercise prices of those warrants. In accordance with ASC 260, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $2.8 million related to the price reset of the Class D, Class G, and Class H Common Stock Warrants during 2025 (see Note 9).
Class I Warrant Inducement
On January 23, 2026, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Class I Warrant Inducement”) with two holders of 305,180 Class I Common Stock Warrants, exercisable for 305,180 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $61.60 per share. Pursuant to the warrant inducement offer letters, the holders agreed to the immediate cash exercise of their 305,180 Class I Common Stock Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 305,180 shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price of $24.08 per share, and the Company’s agreement to issue 610,358 Class J Common Stock Warrants exercisable for a total of up to 610,358 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $24.08. The Class I Warrant Inducement was considered a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with the Class I Warrant Inducement, the Company paid Roth a cash fee of approximately $0.6 million for its services. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.7 million from the warrant exercises, which is net of issuance costs of approximately$0.7 million. The shares of common stock issued from the exercise of the Class I Common Stock Warrants were registered with the SEC on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290309), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2025. The Class J Common Stock Warrants offered in the private placement were registered on Form S-3 (File No. 333-293078) with the SEC and was declared effective on February 11, 2026.
The Class I Warrant Inducement, which resulted in the issuance of the Class J Common Stock Warrants in exchange for the cash exercise of the Class I Common Stock Warrants, is considered a modification of the Class I Warrants under the guidance of ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the “Equity Issuance” classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Class I Common Stock Warrants to cash exercise their warrants, resulting in the imminent exercise of the Class I Common Stock Warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds for the Company of approximately $6.7 million. As the Class I Common Stock Warrants and the Class J Common Stock Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $0.3 million as an equity issuance cost. The amount of the equity issuance cost recognized for the warrant modification was determined at the incremental fair value of the modified Class I Common Stock Warrants immediately before and after the warrant modification.
The Class I Warrant Inducement triggered the down-round feature of the Class C Common Stock Warrants, the Class D Common Stock Warrants, the Class G Common Stock Warrants, the Class H Common Stock Warrants, and the Class I Common Stock Warrants, resulting in a reset of the exercise prices of those warrants. In accordance with ASC 260, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $5.7 million related to the price reset of the Class D, Class G, Class H, and Class I Common Stock Warrants during thenine months ended September 30, 2026 (see Note 9).

Vesting periods and other restrictions for grants under the 2021 Plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Grants to employees, officers, directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company typically vest immediately, or within periods from one tofour years, with vesting based on the continued service of eligible participants, and in some cases based on the earlier of a service condition or market condition occurring. In addition, the number of shares of stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each quarter by 10% of the increase in the aggregate number of fully diluted shares of our common stock from the first day of the preceding quarter to the first day of the current quarter, or such lesser number as determined by our board of directors (the “Evergreen”). As of September 30, 2026, the number of shares of common stock approved for issuance under the 2021 Plan is 185,624 shares.

Incentive stock options granted to any stockholders holding 10% or more of the Company’s equity cannot be granted with an exercise price of less than 110% of the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and such options shall not be exercisable after five years from the grant date.

Class C Common Stock Warrants
The Class C Common Stock Warrants are treated as a liability due to an alternative cashless exercise provision that precludes the Class C Common Stock Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s stock. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Class C Common Stock Warrants was insignificant.
Class D Common Stock Warrants
As a result of an exercise price adjustment triggered by the reverse stock split on January 28, 2025, the exercise price of the Class D Common Stock Warrants was reset from $1,344.00 to $315.84. The exercise price was further reset to $92.40 on May 29, 2025 due to the down-round provision triggered by instruments sold in the May 2025 Public Offering (see Note 5). Additionally, the exercise price was reset to $61.60 as a result of the exercise price adjustment triggered by the reverse stock split on July 7, 2025, and then reset to $43.40 on September 10, 2025, as a result of the down-round provision triggered by instruments sold in the Class H Warrant Inducement (see Note 5). The impact of the down-round triggers for the Class D Common Stock Warrants during 2025 was not significant.
The exercise price of the Class D Common Stock Warrants was reset from $43.40 to $13.30 as a result of the down-round provision triggered by instruments sold in the Class I Warrant Inducement on January 23, 2026 (see Note 5), and again on January 28, 2026 to $12.46 as a result of the exercise price adjustment triggered by the January 2026 Reverse Split.

Class G Common Stock Warrants
The reverse stock split on January 28, 2025 triggered an exercise price adjustment per the terms of the Class G Common Stock Warrants, which resulted in a reduction to the exercise price from $1,344.00 to $315.84 and a proportional increase in the number of shares issuable upon exercise from 4,536 shares to 19,304 shares.
On May 29, 2025 as a result of the down-round provision in the Class G Common Stock Warrants triggered by instruments sold in the May 2025 Public Offering (see Note 5), the exercise price of the Class G Common Stock Warrants was reset to $92.40 per share, and there was a proportional increase in the shares of common stock underlying the Class G Common Stock Warrants to 65,974 shares. The Company recorded a related deemed dividend of approximately $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which represents the incremental fair value of the outstanding warrants as a result of the down-round provision and is measured as the difference between the warrants’ fair value using an exercise price of $315.84 per share and an exercise price of $92.40 per share. As the Company has an accumulated deficit, the deemed dividend was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, resulting in a net impact of zero to additional paid-in capital.
The fair values of the Class G Common Stock Warrants on May 29, 2025, with an exercise price of $315.84 per share and $92.40 per share were $59.36 per warrant share and $65.52 per warrant share, respectively, and were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company recorded a related deemed dividend of approximately $2.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which represents the incremental fair value of the outstanding warrants as a result of the down-round provision and is measured as the difference between the warrants’ fair value using an exercise price of $61.60 per share and an exercise price of $43.40 per share. As the Company has an accumulated deficit, the deemed dividend was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, resulting in a net impact of zero to additional paid-in capital.
The fair values of the Class G Common Stock Warrants on September 10, 2025, with an exercise price of $61.60 per share and $43.40 per share were $62.72 per warrant share and $63.84 per warrant share, respectively, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company recorded a related deemed dividend of approximately $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which represents the incremental fair value of the outstanding warrants as a result of the down-round provision and is measured as the difference between the warrants’ fair value using an exercise price of $43.40 per share and an exercise price of $13.30 per share. As the Company has an accumulated deficit, the deemed dividend was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, resulting in a net impact of zero to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The fair values of the Class G Common Stock Warrants on January 23, 2026, with an exercise price of $43.40 per share and $13.30 per share were $15.40 per warrant share and $16.59 per warrant share, respectively, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| Volatility | 162% |
|---|---|
| Expected term (years) | 3.98 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.76% |
| Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |
Additionally, the January 2026 Reverse Split on January 28, 2026 triggered an exercise price adjustment per the terms of the Class G Common Stock Warrants, which resulted in a reduction to the exercise price from $13.30 to $12.46, and a proportional increase in the shares of common stock underlying the Class G Common Stock Warrants to 489,250 shares.
Class H Common Stock Warrants
On May 29, 2025 in connection with the May 2025 Public Offering (see Note 5), the Company issued Class H Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to 173,337 shares of common stock. The Class H Common Stock Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and upon such an event, including a reverse stock split, if the lowest daily VWAP during the period commencing five trading days immediately preceding and five trading dates immediately following the date of the event is less than the exercise price of the Class H Common Stock Warrants then in effect, then the exercise price will be reduced to the lowest VWAP during such period. The Class H Common Stock Warrants were valued on the issuance date in the aggregate at $11.5 million, which was included in the issuance costs of the May 2025 Public Offering. The fair value of the Class H Common Stock Warrants upon issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| Volatility | 148% |
|---|---|
| Expected term (years) | 5.00 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.00% |
| Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |
