Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
| (1) | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
AIM ImmunoTech Inc. and its subsidiaries are an immuno-pharma company headquartered in Ocala, Florida, and focused on development of Ampligen for the treatment of late-stage pancreatic cancer. The Company has established a strong foundation of laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical data with respect to the development of nucleic acids and natural interferon to enhance the natural antiviral defense system of the human body, and to aid the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of certain cancers and chronic diseases.
AIM’s products are Ampligen (rintatolimod) and Alferon N Injection (Interferon alfa). The Company’s flagship product – Ampligen – is a double-stranded RNA (“dsRNA”) molecule being developed for globally important cancers, viral diseases and disorders of the immune system. Ampligen has not been approved by the FDA or marketed in the United States but is approved for commercial sale in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”).
The Company’s research and development of Ampligen has included a variety of diseases and health matters:
| ● | Conducting clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ampligen for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. |
| ● | Evaluating Ampligen across multiple cancers as a potential therapy that modifies the tumor microenvironment with the goal of increasing anti-tumor responses to checkpoint inhibitors. |
| ● | Exploring Ampligen’s antiviral activities and potential use as a prophylactic or treatment for existing viruses, new viruses and mutated viruses thereof. |
| ● | Evaluating Ampligen as a treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (“ME/CFS”) and fatigue and/or the Post-COVID condition of fatigue. |
| ● | Evaluating Ampligen as a vaccine adjuvant in the combination of Ampligen and AstraZeneca’s FluMist as an intranasal vaccine for influenza, including avian influenza. |
Based on clinical success as to safety and efficacy in our pancreatic cancer Early Access Program and an ongoing Phase 2 trial, AIM has made the business decision to focus its efforts on the development of Ampligen for the treatment of late-stage pancreatic cancer, as we believe that – of all the opportunities a wide-spectrum therapeutic such as Ampligen has – pancreatic is the path that will potentially lead to the most lucrative outcome. Even though Ampligen showed positive safety and efficacy in trials involving other solid tumor types, we believe that pancreatic cancer presents the best business opportunity. Pancreatic cancer killed more than 100,000 people in the American and European Union markets and more than 450,000 people worldwide as recently as 2022. When AIM looks at the global health problem of pancreatic cancer, we see a large market in an unmet medical need and with relatively little clinical competition. This large unmet market is enhanced by our intellectual property program. Here we have a well-developed pancreatic cancer program with broad combination therapy patents in the United States, Japan and Europe, as well as market exclusivity provided by orphan drug designations in the United States and the European Union.
Oncology is one of the areas of biotech known for multibillion-dollar mergers and acquisitions deals – large-market Phase 3 oncology clinical trials with positive data are always a focus for acquisition. AIM strongly believes that such a Phase 3 study will be possible following the ongoing Phase 2 clinical study evaluating Ampligen in combination with AstraZeneca’s anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor Imfinzi (durvalumab) in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with stable disease post-FOLFIRINOX standard of care (the “DURIPANC” study). The DURIPANC study is an investigator-initiated, exploratory, open-label, single-center study expected to enroll up to 25 subjects in the Phase 2 portion. The primary objective of the study is the clinical benefit rate of the combination therapy. The secondary/exploratory objectives include assessing overall survival and progression-free survival; exploring immune-monitoring using available tissue biopsies and peripheral immune profiling; and assessing quality of life. Eighteen patients have been enrolled in the study. According to the Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, the promising progression-free survival and overall survival seen in Phase 1 of the study – which we believe supported advancement to the ongoing Phase 2 portion of the study – continue to be seen and that enrollment is ongoing. Erasmus MC expects that detailed data will be published later this year. According to Erasmus MC, there has also been no significant toxicity – an encouraging safety profile for a post-chemo setting – and Ampligen subjects are consistently reporting “high quality of life” during treatment.
In March 2026, the Company announced an agreement with the PPD clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific to design AIM’s anticipated Phase 3 clinical trial in the use of Ampligen in the treatment of late-stage pancreatic cancer. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is a global leader in scientific progress.
Basis of Preparation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AIM ImmunoTech and all entities in which a controlling interest is held by the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”).
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The Company’s principal source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and proceeds from financing activities to provide the necessary funding to meet our obligations as they become due. The Company has incurred losses from operations and net cash used on operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, and has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was below the minimum requirements for continued listing on the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSE American”). These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management evaluated the conditions, and the significance of these conditions related to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations. If the Company is unable to implement sufficient mitigation efforts, the Company may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
The Company’s management has disclosed its mitigating plans in its recent filing with the NYSE. These plans primarily consist of raising capital through its issuance of securities and exercises of existing warrants. Additionally, compliance with the NYSE minimum stockholders’ equity requirement will be partially accomplished through the reclassification of the warrant liability into stockholders’ equity during the first quarter of 2026.
| (2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a)Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes bank deposits maintained at several financial institutions. The Company considers highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At various times throughout the year ended December 31, 2025, some accounts held at financial institutions were in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and believes credit risk to be minimal.
(b)Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities consist solely of mutual funds. We determine realized gains and losses for marketable securities using the specific identification method and measure the fair value of our marketable securities using a market approach where identical or comparable prices are available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values of investments are determined using prices from a pricing service, pricing models, quoted prices of investments with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow models.
(c)Property and Equipment, net
| (in thousands) December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Furniture, fixture and equipment | $1,466 | $1,466 |
| Less: accumulated depreciation | (1,395) | (1,358) |
| Property and equipment, net | $71 | $108 |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from three toten years. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $37,000 and $37,000, respectively.
(d)Patent and Trademark Rights, net
Patents and trademarks are stated at cost (primarily legal fees) and are amortized using the straight-line method over the established useful life of 17 years. The Company reviews its patents and trademark rights periodically to determine whether they have continuing value, or their value has become impaired. Such review includes an analysis of the patent and trademark’s ultimate revenue and profitability potential. Management’s review addresses whether each patent continues to fit into the Company’s strategic business plans.
(e)Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure (“GAAP”) of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences may be material. Accounts requiring the use of significant estimates include determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities, valuation of deferred taxes, patent and trademark valuations, stock-based compensation calculations, fair value of warrants, and contingency accruals.
(f)Revenue
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue from the sale of Ampligen under cost recovery clinical treatment protocols approved by the FDA is recognized when the product is shipped. The Company has no other obligation associated with its products once shipment has been accepted by the customer.
Revenue from the sale Ampligen under the EAP is recognized as the product is distributed and administered to patients involved in the cost recovery program.
(g)Accounting for Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits which are not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation, there has been no material change to the Company’s tax positions as they have not paid any corporate income taxes due to operating losses. Any tax benefits will likely not be recognized due to the substantial net operating loss carryforwards which will most likely not be realized prior to expiration. With no tax due for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that a policy to determine the accounting for interest or penalties related to the payment of tax is not necessary at this time.
(h)Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to improve U.S. General Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company has reviewed the recently issued ASUs and their applicability to its operations.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted the following ASUs:
ASU 2025-05,Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses of Accounts Receivable and Contract Asset;
ASU 2025-11,Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, and
ASU 2025-12,Codification Improvements.
The Company adopted these standards effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
(i)Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition of compensation expense related to stock-based compensation awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide service for the award. Compensation expense is equal to the fair value of the award at the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures.
(j)Common Stock Per Share Calculation
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Equivalent Common shares, consisting of 4,305,880 and 205,880 of stock options and warrants, are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, since their effect is antidilutive due to the net loss of the Company.
(k)Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant decreases in the market price of a long-lived asset or group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or its physical condition, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group), a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group) or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
When assessing for impairment, the Company measures the recoverability of assets that it will continue to use in its operations by comparing the carrying value of the asset grouping to our estimate of the related total future undiscounted net cash flows. If an asset grouping’s carrying value is not recoverable through the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset grouping is considered to be impaired.
The Company measures impairment by comparing the difference between the asset grouping’s carrying value and its fair value. Long-lived assets are considered a non-financial asset and are recorded at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. Impairments are determined for groups of assets related to the lowest level of identifiable independent cash flows. The Company makes subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows that can be related to specific asset groupings. In addition, as the Company reviews its manufacturing process and other manufacturing planning decisions, if the useful lives of assets are shorter than the Company had originally estimated, it accelerates the rate of depreciation over the assets’ new, shorter useful lives.
(l)Lease accounting
The Company is a party to leases for office space, lab facilities and other equipment. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease arrangement at the inception of the contract. For leases in which the Company is the lessee, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The Company records right of use assets and operating lease liabilities for its operating leases, which are initially recognized at the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on market observations existing at lease inception to calculate the present value of future payments. The Company amortizes its right of use assets on a straight-line basis over the associated lease term.
The lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease, plus any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company has elected to include both lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease payments. Payments made to a lessor for items such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, or other costs commonly referred to as executory costs, are also included in lease payments if they are fixed. The fixed portion of these payments are included in the calculation of the lease liability, while any variable portion is recognized as variable lease expenses as incurred.
The Company has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease obligations for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease payments for short term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(m)Segment Reporting
The Company manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and operates in one reportable segment, which is the research and development of potential therapeutics for cancers, viruses and autoimmune disorders. As the Company has one reportable segment, research and development, general and administrative expenses are equal to consolidated results. Financial results for the Company’s reportable segment have been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which financial information is evaluated by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. Actual financial results used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources, as well as strategic decisions related to headcount and other expenditures, are reviewed on a consolidated basis.
(n)Contingencies
Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, assessing contingencies related to litigation is a complex process involving highly subjective judgment about potential outcomes of future events. When evaluating litigation contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the availability of appellate remedies, insurance coverage related to the claim or claims in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matter. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated, or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company’s potential liability or financial exposure. Accordingly, the Company reviews the adequacy of accruals and disclosures each quarter in consultation with legal counsel, and it assesses the probability and range of possible losses associated with contingencies for potential accrual in the consolidated financial statements. However, the ultimate resolution of litigated claims may differ from the Company current estimates.
In the normal course of business, there are various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies, certain of which are covered by insurance policies. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. Historically, adjustments to our estimates have not been material. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these suits, legal proceedings, and claims with certainty, management is of the opinion that adequate provision for potential losses associated with these matters has been made in the financial statements and that the ultimate resolution of any one of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. A significant increase in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims resulting in greater liabilities than the Company currently anticipates, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
| (3) | Marketable Securities |
Marketable securities consist of mutual funds. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, it was determined that none of the marketable securities had an other-than-temporary impairment. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, all securities were measured as Level 1 instruments of the fair value measurements standard (See Note 15: Fair Value). At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company held $62,000 and $2,276,000 respectively, in mutual funds.
Mutual Funds classified as available for sale consisted of $62,000 at December 31, 2025. The net gain recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025, on equity securities was $17,000. The net losses recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025, on equity securities sold during the period were($56,000). The unrealized gains recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025, on equity securities still held was $73,000.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants were sold at a combined Offering price of $0.899, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A registration statement on Form S-1, relating to the Offering was filed with the SEC and was declared effective on September 25, 2019, the net proceeds were approximately $7,200,000.

The Company will pay Maxim in cash, upon each sale of the common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, a commission in an amount equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of common stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to the Company, if any, are not determinable at this time. The Company has agreed, under certain circumstances, to reimburse a portion of Maxim’s expenses, including legal fees up to a maximum of $50,000, and $5,000 on a quarterly basis thereafter.
The shares under the Sales Agreement will only be offered after a prospectus related to such offering is filed with the SEC. That prospectus was filed on October 30, 2025.

The Common Warrants and the shares of common stock are issuable upon the exercise of such warrants are offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262280), which was declared effective on February 4, 2022.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company could not issue any equity securities for 60 days following the issuance date, provided that the Company was able to utilize its at-the-market offering program with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) after 30 days. Additionally, the Company cannot enter into a variable rate transaction (other than the ATM program with the Placement Agent) for 120 days after the issuance date. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and each of the Company’s directors have entered into lock-up agreements with the Company pursuant to which each of them has agreed not to, for a period of 90 days from the closing of the Transactions, offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities, subject to certain exceptions.
The exercise price of the Common Warrants, and the number of Common Warrant Shares, are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Common Warrants. If a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrants) occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company, and may exercise every right and power that the Company may exercise and will assume all of its obligations under the Common Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. Common Warrant Holders will have additional rights defined in the Common Warrants. The Common Warrants are exercisable on a “cashless” basis only if there is not a current registration statement permitting public resale. In this regard, the Company filed a registration statement to register the resale of the Common Warrant Shares providing for the resale of the Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants. That registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 11, 2024. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

(ii) Stock Warrants
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to complete an offering (the “Transactions”) with a single accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which, on June 3, 2024, the Company issued to the Purchaser, (i) in a registered direct offering,56,410 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) and (ii) in a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to the Purchaser Class A common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 56,410 shares of its common stock (the “A Warrants”) at an exercise price of $36.30 per share and Class B common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 56,410 shares of its common stock (the “B “Warrants” and, along with the A Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) at an exercise price of $36.30 per share.
On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser in the May 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement as Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchaser, (i) in a registered direct offering,46,530 shares of its common stock (“Shares”) and (ii) in the concurrent Private Placement, Class C and Class D Warrants, each to purchase an aggregate of up to 46,530 Shares (the “Common Warrant Shares”) each with an exercise price of $28.00. The Class C and Class D Warrants together, hereinafter the “Common Warrants”. The purchase price for Shares in the registered direct offering was $28.00 per Share.
On July 30, 2025, the Company announced closing a public offering of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof), Class E warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, and Class F warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $4.00 per share (or $3.999 per pre-funded warrant) and accompanying warrants. The warrants will have an exercise price of $4.00 per share and were exercisable immediately upon issuance. The Class E warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date, and the Class F warrants will expire on the eighteen-month anniversary of the original issuance date. Gross proceeds, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, were approximately $8,000,000. Maxim Group LLC acted as sole placement agent in connection with this offering.
Based on a review of the Class E and F warrants, it was determined that the warrants met the liability criteria as described in Accounting Standards Codification 480. Accordingly, as the warrants might require the Company to issue additional stock under certain circumstances, a loss was recognized and the resulting computed value was classified as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2025.
For further information, please refer to Note 15.
Stock warrants are issued as needed by the Board of Directors and have no formal plan.
The fair value of each warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the warrant. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend yield, life and forfeiture rates. The expected life of the warrants was estimated based on historical option holder’s behavior and represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding.

| (11) | Leases |
The Company leases office and lab facilities and other equipment under non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 5 years, expiring at various dates during 2026 through 2027, and requiring monthly payments ranging from less than $1,000 to $22,000. Certain leases include additional renewal options ranging from 1 to 5 years. AIM has classified all of its leases as operating leases.
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the right of use assets was $378,000 and $618,000, respectively, and the corresponding operating lease liability balance was $420,000 and $634,000, respectively. Right of use assets are recorded net of accumulated amortization of $560,000 and $428,000 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

| (12) | Income Taxes |
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation, there has been no material change to the Company’s tax positions as they have not paid any corporate income taxes due to operating losses. With the exception of net operating losses and research and development credits generated in New Jersey, all tax benefits will likely not be recognized due to the substantial net operating loss carryforwards which will most likely not be realized prior to expiration.
As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, the Company has approximately $149,645,900 of Federal net operating loss carryforwards (expiring in the years 2025 through 2038), and $135,324,600 of Federal net operating loss carryforwards with no expiration date, both of which have been limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382, available to offset future federal taxable income. The Company has approximately $60,135,200 of New Jersey state net operating loss carryforwards (expiring in 2045). The Company has approximately $114,500,700 of Florida state net operating loss carryforwards with no expiration date to offset future Florida taxable income. The Company has approximately $3,600,000 of Belgium net operating loss carryforwards with no expiration date to offset future taxable income. The utilization of certain state net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations. With no tax due for the foreseeable future, the Company has determined that a policy to determine the accounting for interest or penalties related to the payment of tax is not necessary at this time.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the utilization of a corporation’s net operating loss carryforward is limited following a greater than 50% change in ownership. As noted above, due to the Company’s prior and current equity transactions, some of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation generally determined by multiplying the value of the Company on the date of the ownership change by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate. Any unused annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the net operating loss carryforward period. As of December 31, 2025, the tax years after 2021 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. With the exception of net operating losses generated in New Jersey which can be surrendered for 80% of their value, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, the remainder of our deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2025, and 2024.
The components of the net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, consist of the following:

Deferred tax assets are included within other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The benefits of deferred tax assets are included within the gain from sale of income tax operating losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This standard expands disclosures related to income taxes specifically for the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. We adopted this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not result in any material changes to the consolidated financial statements or income tax disclosures.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S., Florida and New Jersey. As of December 31, 2025, tax years for 2024, 2023, and 2022 are still subject to examination by the tax authorities. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2022.
| (13) | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions |
The Company has an employment agreement with its NEOs and has granted its NEOs and directors options to purchase its common stock. Please see details of these Employment Agreements in Note 10 Employment/Consulting Agreements.
| (14) | Concentrations of Risk |
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions and, at times, such amounts in non-interest-bearing accounts may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. There were no credit-based sales for 2025 and 2024.
There are a limited number of suppliers in the United States and abroad available to provide the raw and packaging materials/reagents for use in manufacturing Ampligen and Alferon N Injection. At present, the Company does not have any agreements with third parties for the supply of any of these materials or it is relying on a limited source of reagent suppliers necessary for the manufacture of Alferon N Injection. Jubilant HollisterStier LLC has manufactured batches of Ampligen for AIM pursuant to purchase orders. The Company anticipates that additional orders will be placed upon approved quotes and purchase orders provided by AIM to Jubilant. On December 22, 2020, it added Pharmaceutics International Inc. (“Pii”) as a “Fill & Finish” provider to enhance the Company’s capacity to produce the drug Ampligen. This addition amplifies the Company’s manufacturing capability by providing redundancy and cost savings. The contracts augment the Company’s existing fill and finish capacity. If the Company is unable to place adequate acceptable purchase orders with Jubilant or Pii in the future at acceptable prices upon acceptable terms, it will need to find another manufacturer. The costs and availability of products and materials the Company would need for the production of Ampligen are subject to fluctuation depending on a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including competitive factors, changes in technology, ownership of intellectual property, FDA and other governmental regulations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such products and materials on terms acceptable to it or at all.
Currently, the Alferon N Injection manufacturing process is on hold and there is no definitive timetable to restart production. If the Company is unable to acquire FDA approvals related to the manufacturing process and/or final product of new Alferon N Injection inventory or contract with a CMO, its operations most likely will be materially and/or adversely affected. In light of these contingencies, there can be no assurances that the approved Alferon N Injection product will be returned to production on a timely basis, if at all, or that if and when it is again made commercially available, it will return to prior sales levels.
| (15) | Fair Value |
The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these items and are considered a Level 1 instrument of the fair value measurements standard. The Company also has certain warrants with a cash settlement feature in the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction. The fair value of the Class A and Class B warrants (“June 2024 Warrants”) related to the Company’s June 2024 common stock and warrant issuance, are calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The fair value of the Class C and Class D warrants (“October 2024 Warrants”) related to the Company’s October 2024 common stock and warrant issuance, are calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The fair value of the Class E and Class F warrants (“August 2025 Warrants”) related to the Company’s August 2025 common stock and warrant issuance, are calculated using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model.
The Company also had certain redeemable warrants in the Rights Offering with a cash settlement feature in the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction. No Fundamental Transaction occurred. In March 2024,2,050 of these warrants converted on a cashless basis and the remaining 58,300 expired.
The Company estimated the fair value of the June 2024 Warrants, October 2024 Warrants and August 2025 Warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, which uses multiple inputs including the Company’s stock price, the exercise price of the warrant, volatility of the Company’s stock price, the risk-free interest rate and the expected term of the warrants.

The Company utilized the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the Class E Warrants:
| July 30, 2025 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Underlying price per share | $3.05 | $1.13 |
| Exercise price per share | $4.00 | $1.44 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.0% | 3.7% |
| Expected holding period | 5 years | 4.58 years |
| Expected volatility | 101% | 106% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — |
The Company utilized the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the Class F Warrants:
| July 30, 2025 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Underlying price per share | $3.05 | $1.13 |
| Exercise price per share | $4.00 | $1.44 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.0% | 3.5% |
| Expected holding period | 1.51 years | 1.09 years |
| Expected volatility | 142% | 168% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — |
The significant assumptions using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model approach for valuation of the Warrants are:
| (i) | Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rates for the Warrants are based on U.S. Treasury constant maturities for periods commensurate with the remaining expected holding periods of the warrants. |
| (ii) | Expected Holding Period. The expected holding period represents the period of time that the Warrants are expected to be outstanding until they are exercised. The Company utilizes the remaining contractual term of the Warrants at each valuation date as the expected holding period. |
| (iii) | Expected Volatility. Expected stock volatility is based on daily observations of the Company’s historical stock values for a period commensurate with the remaining expected holding period on the last day of the period for which the computation is made. |
| (iv) | Expected Dividend Yield. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s anticipated dividend payments over the remaining expected holding period. As the Company has never issued dividends, the expected dividend yield is 0% and this assumption will be continued in future calculations unless the Company changes its dividend policy. |
| (v) | Expected Probability of a Fundamental Transaction. Put rights arise if a Fundamental Transaction 1) is an all cash transaction; (2) results in the Company going private; or (3) is a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange. The Company believes such an occurrence is unlikely because: |
| 1. | The Company only has one product that is FDA approved but is currently not available for commercial sales. |
| 2. | The Company will have to perform additional clinical trials for FDA approval of its flagship product. |
| 3. | Industry and market conditions continue to include uncertainty, adding risk to any transaction. |
| 4. | The nature of a life sciences company is heavily dependent on future funding and high fixed costs, including Research & Development. |
| 5. | The Company has minimal revenues streams which are insufficient to meet the funding needs for the cost of operations or construction at their manufacturing facility; and |
| 6. | The Company’s Rights Agreement and Executive Agreements make it less attractive to a potential buyer. |
With the above factors utilized in analysis of the likelihood of the Put’s potential Liability, the Company estimated the range of probabilities related to a Put right being triggered as:
| Range of Probability | Probability |
|---|---|
| Low | 0.5% |
| Medium | 1.0% |
| High | 5.0% |
The Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model has incorporated a 5.0% probability of a Fundamental Transaction to date for the life of the securities.
| (vi) | Expected Timing of Announcement of a Fundamental Transaction. As the Company has no specific expectation of a Fundamental Transaction, for reasons elucidated above, the Company utilized a discrete uniform probability distribution over the Expected Holding Period to model in the potential announcement of a Fundamental Transaction occurring during the Expected Holding Period. |
| (vii) | Expected 100 Day Volatility at Announcement of a Fundamental Transaction. An estimate of future volatility is necessary as there is no mechanism for directly measuring future stock price movements. Daily observations of the Company’s historical stock values for the 100 days immediately prior to the Warrants’ grant dates, with a floor of 100%, were utilized as a proxy for future volatility estimates. |
| (viii) | Expected Risk-Free Interest Rate at Announcement of a Fundamental Transaction. The Company utilized a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the forward U.S. Treasury rate for the period equal to the time between the date forecast for the public announcement of a Fundamental Transaction and the Warrant expiration date for each simulation. |
| (ix) | Expected Time Between Announcement and Consummation of a Fundamental Transaction. The expected time between the announcement and the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction is based on the Company’s experience with the due diligence process performed by acquirers and is estimated to be six months. The Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model approach incorporates this additional period to reflect the delay Warrant Holders would experience in receiving the proceeds of the Put. |
While the assumptions remain consistent from period to period (e.g., utilizing historical stock prices), the actual historical prices input for the relevant period input change.
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. AIM categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
| 1. | Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date. Generally, this includes debt and equity securities that are traded in an active market. |
| 2. | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quote prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Generally, this includes debt and equity securities that are not traded in an active market. |
| 3. | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or other valuation techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has classified the warrants with cash settlement features as Level 3. Management evaluates a variety of inputs and then estimates fair value based on those inputs. As discussed above, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model in valuing the warrants. |
The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy as (in thousands):
| Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||||
| Cash equivalents | $931 | $931 | $— | $— |
| Marketable securities | $62 | $62 | $— | $— |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Warrant liability | $8,244 | $— | $— | $8,244 |

| (16) | Segment and Related Information |
The Company follows ASC 280,*Segment Reporting,*which establishes standards for the way public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in financial statements issued to shareholders. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), its CEO, assesses performance and allocates resources based on company-wide financial information. The Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment and the strategic purpose of all operating activities is to support that one segment. The CODM does not generally evaluate the Company’s performance using asset or historical cash flow information. The measure of performance used by the CODM to evaluate the Company’s performance is consolidated net loss. Since the Company operates in one operating segment, which performs research and development activities related to Ampligen and other drugs under development, all required financial segment information can be found in the financial statements. Significant expenses that are used to evaluate performance are each separately presented in the statements of income. The Company does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting.
The Company’s revenues for the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, were earned in the United States. All assets are maintained in the United States of America.
| (17) | Subsequent Events |
On December 30, 2025, we declared a stock dividend of one share of common stock for every 1,000 shares of outstanding common stock as well as one share of common stock for every outstanding option or warrant that has a right to receive stock dividends (“Alternate Securities”). On January 20, 2026, the dividend was issued to stockholders and Alternate Securities holders of record at the close of business on January 9, 2026. Resulting fractional shares were rounded down and any resulting fractional shares remaining after the foregoing rounding down were distributed in cash to each stockholder and Alternate Securities holder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive such fractional shares, based on a share price of $1.305.
On January 13, 2026, the Company distributed a dividend of one share of its common stock for every 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of January 9, 2026 as well as one share of common stock for every outstanding option or warrant that has a right to receive stock dividends (the “Dividend”).
As a result, the number of outstanding warrants of Class E Common Stock Purchase Warrants increased to 5,561,119 and the exercise price reduced to 1.439 and class F Common Stock Purchase Warrants increased to 5,561,118 and the exercise price was reduced to $1.439 per share of common stock as of January 13, 2026. After December 31,2025,482,500 Class E warrants and 800,508 Class F warrants were exercised. Due to the Share Combination Event trigger of the Class E & F Common Stock Purchase Warrants, the accounting treatment as a liability instrument associated with the warrants will be re-evaluated as to its classification, during the first quarter of 2026.
On January 20, 2026 a Notice of Change and Modifications of Class E Common Stock Purchase Warrants and a January 20, 2026 Notice of Change and Modifications of Class F Common Stock Purchase Warrants were sent to the holders of these warrants.
On March 6, 2026, the Company completed a rights offering (the “2026 Rights Offering”) to its stockholders and to holders of certain of its outstanding options and warrants that had the right to participate in the 2026 Rights Offering, both as of February 10, 2026, the record date. In the Rights Offering the Company issued non-transferable subscription rights to purchase 1,842 Units. Each Unit consists ofone share of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “G Preferred”) and 2,000 warrants to purchase common stock (the “G Warrants”). Each share of G Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time, into a number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of the stated value of the Preferred Stock ($1,000) divided by $1.00, the conversion price. Each G Warrant is exercisable forone share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share from March 6, 2026, the date of issuance, through its expiration five years from the date of issuance. Maxim Group LLC acted as the Company’s dealer-manager. Although the 2026 Rights Offering closed after fiscal year end December 31, 2025, it raised approximately $1,800,000 in gross proceeds.
As of March 25, 2026,1,088 shares of the G Preferred have been converted for 1,088,000 shares of common stock, and 310,000 G Warrants have been exercised for 310,000 shares of common stock. In addition,482,500 Class E Warrants were exercised for 482,500 shares of common stock and 800,508 Class F Warrants were exercised for 800,508 shares of common stock.
