Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| 1. | ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
We were formed in Delaware in January 2015 as Global Health Solutions, LLC. In October 2018, we converted into a Delaware corporation under the name Global Health Solutions, Inc., and in September 2025, we changed our corporate name to Turn Therapeutics Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Our corporate headquarters are located in Westlake Village, California.
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology and medical device development company built around our proprietary platform technology called PermaFusion® designed to enhance drug performance. Our primary drug development programs focus on dermatological diseases, including moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and onychomycosis. We also have a portfolio of Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared medical devices. We are also developing an intranasal vaccine with sufficient thermostability for rapid deployment for pandemic response.
Direct Listing
On October 8, 2025, we completed direct listing of our common stock on Nasdaq (the “Direct Listing”) under the ticker symbol TTRX.
| 2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Further, the results of our operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Because all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements are not included herein, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2-for-1 Forward Stock Split
On September 11, 2025, our board of directors (“Board”) approved a 2-for-1 forward stock split (the “Stock Split”) of our common stock upon the effectiveness of our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the State of Delaware.
On September 30, 2025, our registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the State of Delaware giving effect to the Stock Split.
Unless otherwise indicated, all authorized, issued, and outstanding stock and per share amounts contained herein have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Stock Split for all prior periods presented. Proportionate adjustments were made to exercise prices and the number of shares issuable under our equity incentive plans and outstanding warrants.
The impacts of the Stock Split were applied retroactively for all periods presented in accordance with applicable guidance and therefore, amounts may differ from those previously reported.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $11.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $9.1 million (excluding the derivative liability). We have a relatively limited operating history, and the revenue and income potential of our business and market are unproven. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and, as of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $23.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred a net loss of $0.97 million and had cash out flows from operations of $1.6 million. We will continue to incur costs and expenses related to our ongoing operations until we successfully commercialize, develop, obtain regulatory approval for and gain market acceptance of products and product candidates and achieve revenues adequate to support our operations.
From inception through March 31, 2026, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of common stock, including through exempt offerings under Regulation Crowdfunding, Regulation A+ and Regulation D, draw-downs from our Share Purchase Agreement (Note 5), proceeds from debt financings as well as through proceeds from license and collaboration agreements. Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2027. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our capital resources may not be sufficient to fund operations through at least the next 12 months from the date that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 are issued based on our expected cash needs, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As we continue to pursue our business plan, we expect to finance our operations through potential public or private equity offerings, including future draw-downs under our Share Purchase Agreement (Note 5), proceeds from debt financing (Note 7), and additional debt financings or other capital sources, including current or potential future collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic arrangements will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that we are not able to obtain additional funding, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our scope of operations to reduce the current rate of spending through actions such as reductions in staff and the need to delay, limit, reduce or terminate 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, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those relating to stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, research and development expenses, fair value estimates of warrants and other derivative liabilities, and determination of right-of-use assets under lease transactions and related lease obligations. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the nature of the instruments held in the depository institutions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits by $10.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
The majority of our accounts payable and accrued expenses are concentrated with one vendor having a balance of approximately $1.2 million which represents approximately 53% of our accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2026. The amount owed to the same vendor as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $1.5 million which represented approximately 51% of our accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2025.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in readily available money market accounts. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalent balances deposited at multiple major financial institutions.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation for both employees and non-employees in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We manage our operations as asingle reportable segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price we would receive to sell an investment in a timely transaction or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. A framework is used for measuring fair value utilizing a three-tier hierarchy or levels that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
These levels, in order of the highest to lowest priority, are described below:
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2— Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3— Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Comprehensive Loss
We have no components of other comprehensive loss other than net loss, and accordingly, our comprehensive loss is equivalent to our net loss for the periods presented.
Related Parties
Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. ASC 850,* Related Party Disclosures* (ASC 850), requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision-making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance.
Net Loss Per Share
We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Warrants issued in 2017 and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 were considered outstanding shares in the basic earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 given their nominal exercise price. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the warrant holders as the holders of warrants do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive.
Our potentially dilutive securities, including outstanding stock options under our equity incentive plans and warrants with exercise prices that are not nominal, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to our net loss position.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We qualify as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not an EGC. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an EGC under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, and we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result of this election, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) standards’ effective dates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Principles
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We adopted the guidance in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, and the adoption had no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, among other things, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.
Although there were several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, we do not believe any of those accounting pronouncements have had or will have a material impact on our financial position or operating results.

2024 Crowdfunding Offering
In May 2024, we launched a crowdfunding campaign pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding with StartEngine as our registered platform. We were offering common stock to accredited and non-accredited investors with an offering price of $4.59. The offering closed on March 15, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold 215,972 shares of common stock. Net proceeds from the offering for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were approximately $0.78 million.
2025 Regulation A+ Offering
On March 31, 2025, the SEC qualified our Regulation A+ offering with StartEngine as our registered platform. We were offering common stock to accredited and non-accredited investors with an offering price of $5.63. The offering closed on June 27, 2025, and we sold 83,610 shares of our common stock with par value of $0.0001 and received net proceeds of $0.3 million, net of offering costs and platform fees.
2025 Regulation D Offering
In March 2025, our Board authorized a private offering pursuant to Regulation D. We were offering common stock to accredited investors with a minimum investment of $100,000, an offering price of $4.59 per share and certain warrants with an exercise price of $0.005. The offering closed on June 27, 2025, and we issued 596,478 shares of our common stock and received gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million. All the investors in this offering simultaneously exercised the warrants, and we issued 178,990 shares of our common stock upon exercise of warrants for cash proceeds of approximately $900.
On October 23, 2025, we issued 25,252 shares of common stock, in aggregate, to a director and an officer at the closing market price of $4.95 per share on October 23, 2025. The gross proceeds from the issuance of shares were approximately $0.1 million.
Shares Issued in Exchange for Advisory Services
In March 2025, we engaged Clear Street LLC (“Clear Street”) as an exclusive financial advisor for certain services, including advisory services, with respect to listing of our common stock on a registered stock exchange. As part of the engagement, we issued 54,466 shares of our common stock to Clear Street for advisory services amounting to approximately $0.25 million. The related expense was recorded as period cost in general and administrative expenses.
Warrant Grants, Exercises, Expirations and Modifications
In 2017, we issued warrants to a certain investor to purchase 47,620 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.005. Upon conversion to a Corporation in 2018, the warrants were amended to purchase 47,620 shares of common stock with all other terms and conditions being unchanged. In 2025, the warrants were exercised and converted into 47,620 shares of our common stock.
In 2022, we issued warrants to a certain party, as success fee for issuance and conversion of convertible notes, to purchase 40,124 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.25.
The fair value of the warrants issued in 2017 and 2022 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the related expense was recognized on the grant date as the warrants did not have a vesting period.
We evaluated the terms of the warrants issued in 2017 and 2022 and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments within additional paid-in capital.
Upon the Direct Listing, we issued warrants to certain investor under the Share Purchase Agreement (Note 5) to purchase 1,192,207 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.03.
As of March 31, 2026, the following common stock warrants were outstanding:
| Number of Common Shares | Exercise price | Expiration |
|---|---|---|
| underlying warrants | per share | date |
| 40,124 | $3.25 | July 29, 2029 |
| 1,192,207 | $5.03 | October 8, 2028 |
The weighted-average exercise price of all outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2026 is $4.97. All outstanding warrants are exercisable by the holder by payment in cash of the stated exercise price per share or through cashless exercise.
| 5. | SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT |
In December 2024, we entered into a share purchase agreement with a certain investor for the sale of our common stock of up to $75.0 million (the “Aggregate Limit”) contingent upon us achieving a public listing of its common stock. The agreement allows us to issue common stock to the investor, within three (3) years from public listing, at 90% of the average daily closing price during the draw-down pricing period and the draw-down amount not exceeding 300% of the average trading volume of 15 days immediately preceding the draw-down exercise date. The agreement allows us to put restrictions on stock sales volume by investor, prohibitions on short selling by investor and us being able to set a threshold ‘floor’ price during draw-down periods.
In April 2025, the Share Purchase Agreement was amended to increase the Aggregate Limit from $75.0 million to $85.0 million with the additional $10.0 million available only via a day-one draw-down (the “Initial Draw-Down”). Moreover, the draw-down pricing period for Initial Draw-Down was reduced to 10 trading days with the investor having an option to shorten with six (6) hours’ notice to us. The Initial Draw-Down amount with reduced draw-down pricing period was capped at $10.0 million.
In August 2025, the Share Purchase Agreement was further amended to make changes to the registration rights of the investor and the timing of such registrations. This amendment did not materially change any key terms including the Aggregate Limit, the commitment fee, underlying warrants issuable under the agreement and the draw-down pricing and timing including the initial draw-down.
On the date of Direct Listing, we issued a warrant to the investor granting the right to purchase 1,192,207 shares of our common stock representing 4% of the total equity interest at an exercise price of $5.03. The warrant was recognized at fair value on the issuance date as a derivative liability using a Monte Carlo valuation method with offsetting debit deferred offering cost asset recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the warrant was remeasured as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 using the same valuation methodology, and the resulting gain was recognized in condensed consolidated statements of operations. The deferred offering cost is being amortized on straight-line basis over the term of the agreement with related expense being recorded in condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $0.5 million was recognized as amortization of deferred offering cost. Future amortization expense in 2026, 2027 and 2028 will be approximately $1.37 million, $1.87 million and $1.40 million, respectively.
The investor was also entitled to a 1% commitment fee of the Aggregate Limit, either in cash or common stock, which was settled through issuance of 161,905 shares of our common stock. The commitment fee was initially recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a deferred offering cost which shall be amortized subsequently as we draw-down amounts under the share purchase agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $10 thousand was recognized as amortization of deferred offering cost. We expect the future amortization expense in 2026, 2027 and 2028 to be $100 thousand, $320 thousand and $400 thousand, respectively.
On October 31, 2025, we issued the Initial Draw-Down Notice for 1,235,200 shares of common stock to investor and the draw-down period for the Initial Draw-Down was extended from 10 trading days to 30 trading days by mutual agreement between us and the investor. The investor advanced us $3.0 million. On closing date of the Initial Draw-Down notice, i.e., December 15, 2025, the investor accepted 1,235,200 shares at a closing price of approximately $3.29 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $4.07 million, of which $3.0 million was received as advance on October 31, 2025 and $1.1 million was recorded as subscription receivable as at December 31, 2025 which was received in March 2026.
| 6. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
Stock Option Plans
2018 Stock Option Plan
In 2018, the Board authorized the Stock Option Plan (which may be referred to as the “2018 Plan”).2,000,000 shares of our common stock were originally reserved to be issued under the 2018 Plan and in July 2024, the Board amended the 2018 Plan to decrease the shares reserved to 1,508,934. As at March 31, 2026, no options were available for grant under the 2018 Plan and 1,508,934 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2018 Plan subject to option exercise by the holders.
2024 Stock Option Plan
In 2024, the Board authorized a new Stock Option Plan (which may be referred to as the “2024 Plan”).891,066 shares of our common stock were reserved to be issued under the 2024 Plan, which provides for the grant of shares of stock options to employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants. As of March 31, 2026,697,816 options to purchase shares of our common stock were available for grant and 193,250 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2024 Plan subject to option exercise by the holders and vesting restrictions.
2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In September 2025, the Board authorized 2025 Omnibus Plan (which may be referred to as the “2025 Plan”).3,000,000 shares of our common stock were reserved to be issued under the 2025 Plan, which provides for the grant of shares of stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based instruments to employees, directors, non-employee directors and consultants among others. As of March 31, 2026,2,698,118 shares of our common stock were available for grant and 240,000 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2025 Plan subject to option exercise by the holders and vesting restrictions.
The following table summarizes option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026:
| Options | Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share (USD) | Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (USD) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at January 1, 2026 | 1,942,184 | $3.26 | 4.42 | $8,075,661 |
| Granted | - | - | - | - |
| Exercised | - | - | - | - |
| Cancelled/expired | - | - | - | - |
| Outstanding at March 31, 2026 | 1,942,184 | $3.26 | 4.17 | $1,950,000 |
| Exercisable at March 31, 2026 | 1,632,100 | $3.88 | 4.17 | $1,950,000 |
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions to estimate the stock-based compensation expense:
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 · 2025 | |||
| Risk-free interest rate | - | * | 4.40% - 4.43% |
| Dividend yield | - | - | |
| Expected holding period (years) | - | 5.62 | |
| Weighted-average volatility | - | 87.4% | |
| Estimated forfeiture rates for options granted | - | - | |
| * | No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026. |
The risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States government securities appropriate for the expected term of our employee stock options.
The dividend yield assumption for options granted is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Due to lack of historical exercise data, the expected holding period for employee stock options is calculated using the simplified method which takes into consideration the contractual life and vesting terms of the options.
We determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ stock. We will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future stock option grants, until such time that our common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
Stock option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was approximately $155.83 thousand and $76.58 thousand, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized as period cost in general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2026, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 3.17 years.
Restricted Stock Units
RSUs granted to directors under the plans generally vest over one year. The number of shares issued on the date the RSUs vest is net of the minimum statutory tax withholdings, which are paid in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. We recognize the stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period.
The following table summarizes RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested restricted stock units as of January 1, 2026 | 40,000 | $10.00 |
| Granted | 21,882 | 4.57 |
| Vested | - | - |
| Forfeited | - | - |
| Unvested restricted stock units as of March 31, 2026 | 61,882 | $8.08 |
As of March 31, 2026, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs was approximately $0.3 million. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is estimated to be recognized over a period of 0.75 years from March 31, 2026.
Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $125.00 thousand and $0, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized as period costs in general and administrative expenses. No RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
| 7. | Debt |
Avenue Capital Loan Agreement
On March 23, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) and a Supplement to the Loan and Security Agreement (together with the Loan and Security Agreement, the “Loan Agreement”), with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”) and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., as lender (the “Lender”, together with Agent, “Avenue Capital”).
The Loan Agreement makes available to us term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million with (i) $7.0 million funded on March 24, 2026 (“Tranche 1”), (ii) up to $8.0 million to be made available to us between September 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, subject to, (i) dosing of first patients in a phase 3 trial of Onychomycosis, (ii) raising $10.0 million via equity financing and (iii) positive data in our ongoing phase 2 clinical study of GX-03 for moderate-severe atopic dermatitis (“Tranche 2”). The Lender may make additional term loans of up to an additional $10.0 million (the “Discretionary Tranche 3” and collectively with Tranche 1, and Tranche 2, the “Loans”), to be funded between January 1, 2027 and June 30, 2028, subject to, among other things, (i) that we have drawn the full amount of Tranche 2, (ii) our achievement of a certain clinical milestone and (iii) the mutual written agreement between us and the Lender (upon the Lender’s investment committee approval).
The Loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (x) the sum of 5.50% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (y)12.25%. The Loans are secured by a lien upon and security interest in all of our assets, including intellectual property, subject to agreed exceptions. The loan matures on 42 month anniversary from the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”). The Loan Agreement does not contain any minimum cash requirement or other financial covenants.
We will make interest-only payments on the Loans until the 15-month anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to (i) a 9-month extension, so long as Tranche 2 has been funded and (ii) an additional 6-month extension if we achieve the Discretionary Tranche 3 milestone. The Loan principal is repayable in equal monthly installments from the end of interest-only period to the Maturity Date.
We may, at our option at any time, prepay the Loans in their entirety by paying the then-outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, subject to a prepayment fee equal to (i)3.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary following the Closing Date, (ii)2.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary following the Closing Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary following the Closing Date, and (iii)1.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the second anniversary following the Closing Date. We will pay a final payment of 3.75% (“Final Payment Fee”) of the amount funded and outstanding on the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the date that we prepay all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in full.
On the Closing Date, we paid the Lender a commitment fee of $0.15 million. On the Closing Date, we also issued 342,857 shares of our common stock at no cost to the lender which represent 8.00% of the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 amounts. The price per share was determined using the 5 days volume weighted-average price calculated on the day prior to closing date. If we draw the Discretionary Tranche 3, we will issue further shares to the lender at no cost which shall equal to 8.00% of the $10.0 million (amount of the Discretionary Tranche 3) at 5 days volume weighted-average price calculated on the day prior to funding of Discretionary Tranche 3. The fair value of the equity issued on the Closing Date was determined to be $1,050,967 calculated on the relative fair value basis.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by us limiting, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. The Loan Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. After the occurrence of an event of default, the Agent may (i) accelerate payment of all obligations, impose an increased rate of interest, and terminate the Lender’s commitments under the Loan Agreement and (ii) exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable law including a foreclosure on our assets.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender will have the right to convert initially up to $2.0 million of the outstanding principal of the Loans (the “Conversion Option”) at a price per share equal to 80% of the trading price on the date of conversion, subject to certain terms and conditions, including beneficial ownership limitations. Upon draw-down of Tranche 2, the Conversion Option will be increased by $1.0 million. All Conversion Option shall terminate on the loan payoff.
In addition, subject to applicable law, the Lender may participate in certain equity financing transactions in an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 million on the same terms, conditions and pricing offered by us to other investors participating in such financing transaction (such right, the “Participation Right”). The Participation Right terminates upon the earlier of the Maturity Date and the repayment in full of all of the obligations under the Loan Agreement.
As of the closing date, we recorded the following discounts:
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Equity grant of 342,857 shares of common stock – pro-rated for Tranche 1 | $490,451 |
| Commitment fee @ 1.00% of Tranche 1 | 70,000 |

| Fair value of Conversion Option | 436,622 |
| Present value of Final Payment Fee | 174,571 |
| Total discounts recorded at inception of Avenue Capital Loan Agreement | $1,238,056 |
We amortize debt discount as interest expense using the effective interest method through the maturity date. We accrete the Final Payment Fee as interest expense using the interest method through the maturity date. No amortization was recognized for the three months period ended March 31, 2026.
Discounts allocated to Tranche 2 amounting to $0.72 million have been capitalized as deferred offering cost asset on the consolidated balance sheets and shall be recorded as a debt discount when Tranche 2 is drawn or expensed if Tranche 2 is not drawn.
As of March 31, 2026, the long-term debt, without giving consideration to the extendable interest-only period consists of the following:
| Amount | |

| Less: unamortized debt discount | (1,238,056) |
| Less: present value discount on Final Payment Fee | (87,930) |
| Long-term debt | $5,936,514 |
As of March 31, 2026, without giving consideration to the extendable interest-only period, principal payments of long-term debt are as follows:

| 2027 | 1,296,296 |
| 2028 | 3,111,111 |
| 2029 | 2,855,093 |
| Total | $7,262,500 |
| 8. | INCOME TAXES |
We are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation. Tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in the quarter. The effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 waszero as we have incurred continuous operating losses.
| 9. | NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS |
Basic and diluted net loss per share was calculated as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $(970,972) | $(328,547) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted | 29,476,002 | 26,956,217 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $(0.03) | $(0.01) |
Our potentially dilutive securities, which include or have included outstanding stock options and certain warrants, 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 shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.
We excluded the following from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| As at March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Outstanding options under the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Option Plan, 2024 Stock Option Plan and 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan | 1,942,184 | 1,742,214 |
| Outstanding RSUs under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan | 61,882 | - |
| Outstanding warrants | 1,232,331 | 40,124 |
| 3,236,397 | 1,782,338 | |
| 10. | COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS |
Contractual Commitments
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), academic institutions and other third parties for preclinical and clinical research studies, testing and manufacturing services. These contracts generally do not contain minimum purchase commitments and are cancellable by us upon prior written notice, although purchase orders for preclinical materials are generally non-cancellable or have cancellation penalties. Payments due upon cancellation consist primarily of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations from our service providers, up to the date of cancellation or upon the completion of a manufacturing run.
Litigation and Claims
From time to time, we may be party to litigation, arbitration, claims or other legal proceedings in the course of our business. The outcome of any such legal proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. In addition, litigation and related matters are costly and may divert the attention of our management and other resources that would otherwise be engaged in other activities. If we were unable to prevail in any such legal proceedings, our business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Indemnifications Obligations
We entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors that require us to indemnify such individuals for certain events or occurrences while each such officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential future payments we could be required to make is, in many cases, unlimited. We have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that limits its exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts to be paid.
| 11. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net loss, as reported on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, in evaluating performance and determining how to allocate resources. The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the results and therefore, such information is not presented.
