Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 –Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Processa,” “we” or the “Company”) is a publicly listed clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on incorporating our Regulatory Science Approach into the development of our Next Generation Cancer therapy (“NGC”) drugs to improve the safety and efficacy of cancer treatment. Our NGC drugs are modifications of existing FDA-approved oncology drugs resulting in an alteration of the metabolism and/or distribution while maintaining the well-known and established existing mechanisms of killing the cancer cells. By modifying the NGC drugs in this manner, we believe our NGC treatments will provide improved safety-efficacy profiles when compared to their currently marketed counterparts.
On August 7, 2025 we announced that we were evaluating corporate cryptocurrency treasury strategies as part of our broader financial and growth objectives. We are in the process of developing and implementing a corporate cryptocurrency treasury strategy, including acquiring and holding stablecoin, and other cryptocurrencies, tokens, and rights of a similar nature (collectively referred to as, “Digital Assets”), using cash reserves that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing equity or debt securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase Digital Assets. We believe that strategic engagement with emerging financial technologies, including select Digital Assets with potential yield-generating capabilities, may offer novel avenues to diversify our capital base and enhance financial flexibility, while providing an opportunity for long-term value creation. One of the potential benefits of a cryptocurrency treasury strategy is the potential of blockchain-based assets to contribute meaningfully to the funding of our clinical development programs.
Basis of Presentation
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”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of our financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
Liquidity
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred losses since inception, currently devoting substantially all our efforts toward research and development of our NGC drug product candidates, including conducting clinical trials and providing general and administrative support for these operations, and have an accumulated deficit of $97.4 million at September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated a net loss of $10.2 million and used $8.5 million in net cash for operating activities from continuing operations. To date, none of our drug candidates have been approved for sale, and therefore we have not generated any product revenue and do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the foreseeable future. We expect that we will continue to be dependent upon equity and/or debt financing until we are able to generate positive cash flows from its operations.
On January 29, 2025, we closed a public offering where we sold 1,030,972 shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,019,700 shares of our common stock, and accompanying Series A warrants to purchase up to 8,050,672 shares of our common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and Series B warrants to purchase up to 4,025,336 shares of our common stock (the “Series B Warrants”) for net proceeds of $4.4 million, after deducting placement agent fees and offering-related expenses (see Note 2 for additional details). On June 18, 2025, we closed another public offering where we sold 14,310,000 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 13,690,000 shares of common stock, and common warrants to purchase up to 28,000,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $6.2 million, after deducting placement agent fees and offering-related expenses (see Note 2 for additional details). As of September 30, 2025, all Pre-Funded Warrants from both public offerings were exercised. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we also received approximately $728,000 for the exercise of warrants to purchase 2,912,422 shares of common stock. As of November 3, 2025, warrants to purchase an additional 3,781,267 of common stock were exercised for approximately $945,000.
On August 4, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor and sold 5,467,181 shares of our common stock for $1.2 million in net proceeds. In August 2025, we also sold 4,597,612 shares for $1.0 million in net proceeds under our ATM program.
At September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $6.3 million. Based on our current business plans, we believe these funds, together with the $945,000 in gross proceeds we received subsequent to September 30, 2025 from the exercise of previously issued stock purchase warrants, will satisfy our capital needs into the first quarter of 2026. Our ability to execute our longer-term operating plans, including future preclinical studies and clinical trials for our portfolio of drugs depend on our ability to obtain additional funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities, a strategic transaction or other funding transactions.
We plan to raise additional funds in the future through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other marketing and distribution arrangements, but will only do so if the terms are acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or suspend our current or planned future clinical trial plans, or research and development programs. This may also cause us to not meet obligations contained in certain of our license agreements and put these assets at risk. To the extent that we raise additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures. Subject to market conditions, we also expect to issue equity or debt securities or engage in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase Digital Assets. We believe that strategic engagement with emerging financial technologies, including select Digital Assets with potential yield-generating capabilities, may offer returns than can contribute meaningfully to the funding of our clinical development programs. However, there can be no assurance that future funding will be available when needed.
Absent additional funding, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for a period of one year or more after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued based on the timing and amount of our projected net loss from continuing operations and cash to be used in operating activities during that period of time. As a result, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be different should we be unable to continue as a going concern based on the outcome of these uncertainties described above.
Use of Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to preclinical and clinical trial expenses, stock-based compensation, intangible assets, future milestone payments and income taxes. These estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. While we believe the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts recognized for income tax purposes. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we recorded a valuation allowance equal to the full recorded amount of our net deferred tax assets since it is more-likely-than-not that such benefits will not be realized. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and is maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.
Under ASC 740-270Income Taxes – Interim Reporting, we are required to project our annual federal and state effective income tax rate and apply it to the year-to-date ordinary operating tax basis loss before income taxes. Based on the projection, no current income tax benefit or expense is expected for 2025 and the foreseeable future since we expect to generate taxable net operating losses.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of our cash and cash equivalents. We utilize only well-established banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings. Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to specified limits. Total cash held by our banks at September 30, 2025, exceeded FDIC limits.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that there is no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 2 –Digital Assets and Stablecoin Holdings
As of September 30, 2025, we held Digital Assets, consisting of USD-backed stablecoins, totaling $350,000, which are recorded as cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet. These stablecoins are held in custodial wallets with third-party service providers and are redeemable on a one-to-one basis for U.S. dollars. We classify these stablecoins as cash equivalents under ASC 230, as they are fully collateralized by U.S. dollar reserves, readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we transferred an additional $500,000 to our third-party custodial wallet and we now hold a total of $850,000 in Digital Assets.
Note 3 –Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued the following shares of common stock:
| ● | On January 29, 2025, we sold 1,030,972 shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,019,700 shares of our common stock, and accompanying Series A Warrants to purchase up to 8,050,672 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 4,025,336 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $4.4 million, after deducting placement agent fees and offering-related expenses under a best efforts public offering (the “January offering”) at a combined purchase price of $0.615 for institutional investors and $0.7975 for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and certain board members who participated in the offering. The Series A and B Warrants both have an exercise price of $0.65 per share of common stock, and were subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained at our annual stockholder meeting on July 18, 2025. The Series A Warrants will expire on July 18, 2030 and the Series B Warrants will expire on January 18, 2027. At September 30, 2025, all pre-funded warrants sold in this offering were exercised; |

We sold one share of our common stock and accompanying common warrant at a combined price of $0.25 per share, and a pre-funded warrant and accompanying common warrant at a combined price of $0.2499 per share. The common warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire five years after their original issuance. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 and are also immediately exercisable. We issued placement agent warrants to purchase up to 1,120,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. Warrants to purchase 2,912,422 shares of common stock for $728,000 and all pre-funded warrants were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2025; |

As of November 3, 2025, warrants to purchase an additional 3,781,267 of common stock were exercised for approximately $945,000.
Note 4 –Stock-based Compensation
On June 19, 2019, our stockholders approved, and we adopted, the Processa Pharmaceuticals Inc. 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan allows us, under the direction of our Board of Directors or a committee thereof, to make grants of stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock and other stock-based awards to employees, including our executive officers, consultants and directors. On July 18, 2025, shareholders approved to increase the shares available under the 2019 Plan, and it now provides for the aggregate issuance of 10,800,000 shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2025, we have 10,357,420 shares available for future grants.
Stock Compensation Expense
We recorded stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 as follows:

Stock Options
No stock options to purchase shares of common stock were forfeited or expired during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, we had outstanding and exercisable options for the purchase of 2,747 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $409.09 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.9 years. At September 30, 2025, we did not have any unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to our granted stock options.
On October 1, 2025, we granted stock options to purchase 3,267,000 shares of our common stock to our directors and officers with an exercise price of $0.198 that expire on October 1, 2035. These stock options vest 33.3% on October 1, 2026 and the remaining 66.7% vest ratably monthly for the followingtwo years.
Restricted Stock Units
Activity with respect to our Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was as follows:
| Number of shares | Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share | |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at January 1, 2025 | 383,636 | $19.87 |
| Granted | - | - |
| Forfeited | (27,547) | 53.08 |
| Vested and issued | (76,189) | 60.84 |
| Outstanding at September 30, 2025 | 279,900 | 5.45 |
| Vested and unissued | (253,836) | 5.16 |
| Unvested at September 30, 2025 | 26,064 | $8.23 |
At September 30, 2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $108,000 for RSUs is expected to be fully recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years. The unrecognized expense excludes approximately $12,000 of expense related to certain grants of RSUs with performance milestones that are being accounted for as though the performance milestones are not probable of occurring at this time.
Holders of our vested RSUs will be issued shares of our common stock upon meeting the distribution restrictions contained in their Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. The distribution restrictions are different (longer) than the vesting schedule, imposing an additional restriction on the holder. While certain employees may hold fully vested RSUs, the individual does not hold any shares or have any rights of a stockholder until the distribution restrictions are met. Upon distribution to the employee, each RSU converts into one share of our common stock. The RSUs contain dividend equivalent rights.
On October 1, 2025, we granted RSUs for the future issuance of 1,089,000 shares of common stock to our directors and officers. These RSUs vest 33.3% on October 1, 2026 and the remaining 66.7% vest monthly for the followingtwo years.
Warrants
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 7,019,700 pre-funded warrants, and accompanying Series A Warrants to purchase up to 8,050,672 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 4,025,336 shares of our common stock in the January offering. We also sold 13,690,000 pre-funded warrants and accompanying common warrants to purchase up to 28,000,000 shares of common stock, as well as issued placement agent warrants to purchase up to 1,120,000 shares of common stock in the June offering. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, warrants to purchase 2,912,422 shares of common stock from the June offering, and all pre-funded warrants from the January offering and June offering, were exercised.
At September 30, 2025, we had outstanding exercisable stock purchase warrants for the purchase of 40,059,370 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $0.63 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.2 years. We did not have any unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to our granted stock purchase warrants at September 30, 2025.
As of November 3, 2025, warrants to purchase an additional 3,781,267 of common stock were exercised for approximately $945,000.
Note 5 –Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing our net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (which includes vested RSUs and unexercised pre-funded warrants) during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing our net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock (which includes the potentially dilutive effect of stock options, unvested RSUs and warrants) during the period. Since we experienced a net loss for both periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same. As such, diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 excludes the impact of potentially dilutive common shares since those shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.
The computation of net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Basic and diluted net loss per share: | ||||
| Net loss available to common stockholders | $(3,436,573) | $(3,384,703) | $(10,204,896) | $(9,121,410) |
| Weighted average number of common shares-basic and diluted | 47,525,522 | 3,275,998 | 24,838,859 | 2,909,941 |
| Basic and diluted net loss per share | $(0.07) | $(1.03) | (0.41) | $(3.13) |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – basic and diluted | 47,202,268 | 3,118,029 | 24,611,454 | 2,767,647 |
| Weighted-average number of vested RSUs– basic and diluted | 323,254 | 157,969 | 227,405 | 142,294 |
| Weighted-average number of common shares-basic and diluted | 47,525,522 | 3,275,998 | 24,838,859 | 2,909,941 |
We have excluded the following potentially dilutive securities from the calculation of diluted net loss per share since they would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
| September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options | 2,747 | 2,747 |
| Restricted stock units (unvested) | 26,064 | 240,349 |
| Warrants for common stock | 40,059,370 | 1,775,784 |
| Total | 40,088,181 | 2,018,880 |

Note 8 –Option to License PCS12852
On June 17, 2025, we entered into a binding term sheet (“Term Sheet”) with Intact Therapeutics (“Intact”) granting Intact the exclusive option to license PCS12852, a highly specific and potent 5HT5 agonist that is Phase 2B ready as potentially the first meaningful treatment for diabetic gastroparesis patients. Upon execution of the Term Sheet, Intact agreed to pay a non-refundable standstill payment of $20,000 and upon execution of a license agreement, the Company will receive a 3.5% equity interest in Intact and a payment of $2.5 million, with $1.0 million paid within thirty days of closing and the remaining $1.5 million paid within twelve months of closing. The Term Sheet also provides that the license agreement will provide for development and regulatory milestone payments, commercial milestone payments based on net product sales and a 12% royalty on worldwide net sales of licensed products, excluding South Korea.
The obligations of the parties to enter into the license agreement are subject to additional diligence by Intact. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the parties have one hundred and twenty (120) days to finish any remaining due diligence and enter into the license agreement. On October 11, 2025, Intact opted to extend the due diligence deadline by an additional one hundred and twenty (120) days for a fee of $30,000. There can be no assurance that the Company and Intact will enter into a license agreement.
In connection with the Term Sheet, Yuhan Corporation executed Amendment No. 1 to our existing license agreement dated August 19, 2020 (the “Yuhan Agreement”), effective June 11, 2025, which, among other things, extended the deadline to dose the first patient in a Phase 2B clinical trial, Phase 3 clinical trial or other pivotal clinical trial from 48 months to 108 months from the effective date of the original agreement.
Note 9 –Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations (CROs) and subcontractors to further develop our products. The contracts are cancelable, with varying provisions regarding termination. If we terminated a cancelable contract with a specific vendor, we would only be obligated for products or services that we received at the effective date of the termination and any applicable cancellation fees. At September 30, 2025, we are contractually obligated to pay up to $12.0 million of future services under the agreements with the CROs. Our actual contractual obligations will also vary depending on the progress and results of the remaining clinical trials.
