Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies:
Overview
MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIRA) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical development company focused on developing novel oral small-molecule therapeutics for neurologic, neuropsychiatric, metabolic, and inflammatory disorders. The Company’s pipeline includes three product candidates: Ketamir-2, MIRA-55, and SKNY-1.
Ketamir-2 is a next-generation oral NMDA receptor modulator that has completed Phase 1 clinical development and is being advanced toward Phase 2a clinical studies for neuropathic pain. MIRA-55 is a novel oral cannabinoid analog in preclinical development for inflammatory pain and related conditions. SKNY-1 is a preclinical-stage oral therapeutic designed to modulate CB1, CB2, and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) pathways and is being developed for obesity and nicotine dependence.
On June 13, 2025, the Company formed MIRAPHARM Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, to support the acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a private company developing SKNY-1 (See Note 5, Asset Acquisition) and related party due to common shareholders and a shared licensor. On September 29, 2025, the Company completed a stock-for-stock merger, with SKNY surviving as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
As used herein, the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, is referred to as the “Common Stock” and the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, is referred to as the “Preferred Stock”.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of American (GAAP) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from such estimates and such differences could be material. Significant estimates during the reporting periods include the value of equity investments held, value of common shares issued in an acquisition, stock-based compensation and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at two financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company’s account at these institutions are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. On December 31, 2025, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $6.1 million. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.
Investments in Equity Securities, at Fair Value
Equity investments are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded as net unrealized gain (loss) on equity investments, a component of other income, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis which is recorded in earnings or loss as a net realized gain (loss) on equity investments in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company reviews investments in equity securities, at fair value, for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with GAAP, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company considers the carrying amount of deferred offering costs to approximate fair value due to short-term nature of this instrument. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
| December 31, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| Short-term investments | $4,683,099 | $4,683,099 | $— | $— |

Revenue Recognition
The Company has not generated revenue from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2025. The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include the expenses paid to third parties, such as contract research organizations and consultants, who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company. Patent-related costs, including registration costs, documentation costs and other legal fees associated with the application, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses are primarily comprised of personnel costs, insurance expenses, professional services fees, travel and office expenses, and stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” Stock-based compensation cost for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The Company has elected to account for forfeiture of stock-based awards as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
Operating Segments
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment, consistent with the manner in which the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources, see Note 10 for further information.
Leases
The Company has accounted for leases under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, which requires the Company to recognize right-to-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases on the balance sheet.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings, amounts arising from contractual arrangements and claims arising out of the Company’s business that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, and tax matters. In accordance with ASC Topic 450,Accounting for Contingencies, (ASC 450), the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company, in accordance with this guidance, does not recognize gain contingencies until realized or realizable.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and FASB ASC Topic 815,Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company generally determines fair value of the Common Stock Warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation methodology.
A change in any of the terms or conditions of warrants is accounted for as a modification. The accounting for incremental fair value of warrants is based on the specific facts and circumstances related to the modification which may result in a reduction of additional paid-in capital, recognition of costs for services rendered, or recognized as a deemed dividend.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants were to vest and be exercised. Diluted earnings per share excludes, when applicable, the potential impact of stock options, common stock warrant shares, convertible notes, and other dilutive instruments because their effect would be anti-dilutive in the periods in which the Company incurs a net loss.
The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock for the periods in which a net loss is presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options | 6,072,242 | 4,235,666 |
| Common stock warrants | 1,763,750 | 1,763,750 |
| Totals | 7,835,992 | 5,499,416 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09Income Taxes (Topic 740):Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(ASU 2023-09), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by amending disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU or the year ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 15 “Income Taxes” for more information).
Recent 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): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as qualitatively describe remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting of ASU 2024-03.
Management has considered all other recent accounting pronouncements that are issued, but not effective, and it does not believe that they will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Note 2. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has no revenues. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $6.3 million and reported a net loss of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company raised net capital of approximately $6.7 million in 2025 and used approximately $4.7 million of cash in operations during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company had stockholders’ equity and working capital of approximately $10.4 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.2 million and working capital of $2.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Historically, the Company has been primarily engaged in developing Ketamir-2 and MIRA-55. During these activities, the Company sustained substantial losses. The Company’s ability to fund ongoing operations and future clinical trials required for FDA approval is dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain significant additional external funding in the near term. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through related party financings — see Note 6, and initial public offering in 2023. The Company maintains an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the issuance of shares of common stock under various types of equity offerings, including the shares of common stock under our ATM equity program (See Note 9). The Company expects to be able to fund operations into the first quarter of 2027, with the cash on hand. However, the Company has the ability to issue common stock under its shelf registration statement to assist in liquidity needs.
As of the date of filing this Report, the Company will continue to generate losses and have insufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to support its operations for at least the 12 months following the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations in the future. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3. Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expense and other current assets consisted of the following at the dates indicated:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Prepaid expense: | ||
| Prepaid insurance | $19,847 | $34,454 |
| Other prepaid expense | 8,299 | 20,275 |
| Total prepaid expenses | $28,146 | $54,729 |
Note 4. License agreement, related party
MIRALOGX
On November 15, 2023, the Company and MIRALOGX, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“MIRALOGX”) entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) to develop and commercialize Ketamir-2, a drug product containing 2-(2- chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino) cyclopentan-1-one as an active agent in the United States, Canada and Mexico (the “Territory”). The exclusive license in the License Agreement includes the right of the Company to sublicense the licensed intellectual property. The Company and MIRALOGX have the same founder, who is also related to Company’s largest shareholder and thus MIRALOGX is considered a related party.
Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company paid MIRALOGX a one-time, nonrefundable payment of $0.1 million upon the signing of the Agreement and will be obligated to pay quarterly royalty payments on sales of the Ketamir-2 in the Territory of 8% of net sales and 8% of other revenue (such as milestone or sublicense payments) from licensed products.
Also, in consideration of the License Agreement, the Company issued to MIRALOGX a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “MIRALOGX Warrant”). The MIRALOGX Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, any time prior to November 15, 2028 at a cash exercise price of $2.00 per share.
The Company and MIRALOGX have made customary representations and warranties in the License Agreement and have agreed to certain other customary covenants, including confidentiality, cooperation, and indemnity provisions. Either party may terminate the License Agreement for cause if the other party materially breaches or defaults in the performance of its obligations, and, if curable, such material breach remains uncured for 120 days. Unless earlier terminated, the License Agreement will continue in effect until the last to expire of the patent rights licensed pursuant to the License Agreement.
In the SKNY asset acquisition (See Note 5), the Company acquired the license to SKNY-1, a preclinical drug candidate (the “SKNY License”) originally licensed from MIRALOGX by SKNY. In acquiring the rights to the SKNY License, the Company gained the rights to commercialize SKNY-1 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Pursuant to the terms of the SKNY License, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will be obligated to pay a royalty payment of 8% of net sales, with a minimum annual royalty of $250,000. Unless earlier terminated, the SKNY License Agreement will continue in effect until the last to expire of the patent rights licensed pursuant to the SKNY License (see Note 5, Asset Acquisition).
Note 5. Asset Acquisition
Acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On March 19, 2025, we entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with SKNY Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SKNY”), a privately held Delaware corporation, which is a related party due to certain common shareholders and licensor, to acquire SKNY through a stock-for-stock merger with our merger subsidiary, which we formed on June 13, 2025 (the “Merger”). On September 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), we closed this merger. SKNY was the survivor of this merger and became our wholly owned subsidiary. SKNY’s preclinical drug candidate, SKNY-1, is designed to modulate CB1, CB2, and MAO-B pathways to address energy storage, lipid metabolism, appetite, cravings, and reward - without the psychiatric side effects that limited earlier CB1-targeting drugs. SKNY holds exclusive rights in the United States to its drug candidate under license from Miralogx, a related party of the Company, see Note 3, License Agreement, Related Party. The transaction was recorded as an asset acquisition from a related party at acquired cost basis with two assets acquired, a license agreement and 3,521,127 shares in common stock of Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TELO), a publicly traded preclinical stage biotechnology company, which is a related party to MIRA due to certain common ownership, officers and directors. The 3,521,127 shares of TELO common stock were contributed to the Company on behalf of SKNY by SKNY’s largest shareholder. The 3,521,127 shares in TELO represented $5,000,000 based on the 10-day average of the closing share price of TELO stock, $1.42, for the ten trading days prior to September 25, 2025, (the “Measurement Date”). On September 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received the SKNY License with Miralogx which was recorded at its carryover basis of zero and received the TELO shares and recorded their value as of the Closing Date as $4,718,310 based on the TELO closing price on September 29, 2025 of $1.34 per share. The 3,521,127 shares in TELO were recorded on the MIRA balance sheet as a Short-term equity investment. On December 31, 2025, the value of these shares was adjusted to $4,683,099 based on the TELO closing price on December 31, 2025, with a corresponding $35,212 in unrealized loss recognized in other income.
Also on the Closing date, MIRA issued 19,755,738 new shares in MIRA common stock to the SKNY shareholders (See Notes 6 and 9). The common shares were valued at $26,275,132 based on the quoted trading price of the Company’s stock on September 29, 2025 of $1.33 per share. The excess fair value of the MIRA common shares issued over the $4,718,310 net assets received in SKNY of $21,556,821 has been reflected as a deemed dividend with a charge to additional paid-in capital of $21,556,821. The net increase to equity of the common shares was $4,718,311.
Note 6. Related party transactions
Due from Related Party
Amounts due from MIRALOGX as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, which are presented as a related party receivable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, totaled $35,439. These aforementioned amounts are composed of accounts payable paid on behalf of a related party, specifically, research and development payables. There has been no related party activity since December 31, 2024.
Due to Related Party
As of December 31, 2025, the Company owed an aggregate of $572,865 to its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Erez Aminov, primarily related to accrued compensation and advances made to the Company to cover certain Company-related payables. There were no amounts due to related parties as of December 31, 2024.
Asset Acquisition
See Note 5 for asset acquisition from a related party.
License Agreement
See Note 4.
Stock Settled Agreement
See Note 9.
Note 7. Commitments and contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various agreements containing standard indemnification provisions. The Company’s indemnification obligations under such provisions are typically in effect from the date of execution of the applicable agreement through the end of the applicable statute of limitations. The aggregate maximum potential future liability of the Company under such indemnification provisions is uncertain. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no amounts have been accrued related to such indemnification provisions.
From time to time, the Company may be exposed to litigation in connection with its operations. The Company’s policy is to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters, as well as ranges of probable losses.
The Company’s former corporate headquarters were located in Baltimore, Maryland, which included a lease for office space. This lease began in November 2021 and ended April 2024. The lease was not renewed after April 2024. In April 2024, the Company moved to a virtual office model and does not have a physical office space as of December 31, 2025 nor 2024.
The Company had leased an office in Tampa, Florida, for its finance and general operations, which began in March 2022 for 37 months. On December 1, 2023, the Company formally terminated the lease with the landlord. There was a remaining deposit due from the landlord to the Company of $0.005 million, which was collected as of December 31, 2024.
Variable lease costs
Variable lease costs primarily include utilities, property taxes, and other operating costs that are passed on from the lessor.

| Deferred tax assets | ||
| Net operating loss carry-forward | $5,108,580 | $4,555,400 |

| Less: valuation allowance | (9,589,307) | (6,925,163) |
| Total net deferred tax asset | $— | $— |
Beginning in 2022, in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 174, Qualified Research Expenditures are capitalized for tax purposes and amortized over a period of five years. Accordingly, for income tax purposes, and as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset totaling approximately $9.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, related to the timing difference between GAAP and Tax recognition of these expenditures.
The components of the provision for income taxes consist of the following:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Deferred tax: | ||
| Deferred | (9,589,307) | (3,311,252) |
| Change in valuation allowance | 9,589,307 | 3,311,252 |
| Total deferred | — | — |
| Total provision for income taxes | $— | $— |
ASC Topic 740 requires that a deferred tax amount be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets generated by net operating loss carryforwards as it has determined that such amounts may not be recognizable, given the historical losses of the Company to date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a cumulative federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $20.1 million. The net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration date.
Note 9. Stockholders’ equity

In June 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the Company’s 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated in August 2023, (“2022 Omnibus Plan”). The 2022 Omnibus Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to the Company’s employees and any of its parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to the Company’s employees, directors, and consultants and any of its future subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. On September 11, 2025, the Company held its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) in which it was voted upon to increase the shares provided under the plan from 5,000,000 shares to 8,000,000 shares. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year equal to the lesser of (a)500,000 shares, (b) 5.0% of the outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (c) such other amount as the Company’s board of directors may determine.
As of December 31, 2025, the 2022 Omnibus Plan provides that 8,780,939 shares of the Company’s Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, all of which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options.
Stock-based compensation
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Historically, the Company estimated expected price volatility based on the historical volatilities of a peer group as the Company did not have a multi-year trading history for its shares. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the biotech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle, and product indications. In September 2025, the Company commenced using the historical volatility of its shares as an estimate of expected share price volatility.
Expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, a total of 3,230,170 options to purchase Common Stock, with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $4.5 million were granted to the Company’s executive officers, management, and consultants of the Company. Options have a term of 10 years from the grant date. These options vest in various terms ranging from immediate vesting upon grant to the second anniversary of the grant date.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, a total of 3,599,000 options to purchase Common Stock, with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $2.79 million were granted to the Company’s executive officers, management, and consultants of the Company.

Note 10. Segment Information
The Company operates in one reportable segment related to the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals targeting neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Company’s CEO reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure. The CEO uses aggregate net loss to allocate resources in the annual budgeting and forecasting process and also uses that measure as a basis for evaluating financial performance regularly by comparing actual results with established budgets and forecasts.
The accounting policies of the Company’s single segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies within Note 1. The CEO assesses performance for the Company and decides how to allocate resources based on the aggregate net loss that is also reported on the income statement as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets.
The table below provides information about the Company’s revenue, significant segment expenses and other segment expenses.
