Current report

Our grants and contracts reimburse us for direct and indirect costs relating to the grant projects and also provide us with a pre-negotiated profit margin on total direct and indirect costs of the grant award, excluding subcontractor costs, after giving effect to directly attributable costs and allowable overhead costs. Funds received from grants and contracts are generally deemed to be earned and recognized as revenue as allowable costs are incurred during the grant or contract period and the right to payment is realized.

Current report

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Current report

General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2025. The increase of $0.6 million was primarily driven by increases of $0.6 million in legal expenses due to patent and financing activities, $0.2 million in compensation expense and $0.2 million in miscellaneous expense amounts that were individually insignificant. These increases were primarily offset by decreases of $0.3 million in consultant expenses and $0.1 million in director and officer insurance.

Current report

Other income was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to other expense of $0.9 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.3 million increase in income was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million non-cash gain due changes in fair value of our liability-classified warrants, $0.3 million non-cash gain related to settlement of the tranche liability in connection with the closing of our March 2026 PIPE.

Current report

Net cash used in operating activities was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and primarily consisted of our net loss of $11.3 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $2.1 million and favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.2 million. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $1.8 million, non-cash lease expenses of $0.1 million, and $0.2 million in other non-cash changes that were individually insignificant. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were driven primarily by increases of $1.0 million in accounts payable and $0.4 million in other current liabilities, partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million in accrued expenses and $0.1 million in operating lease liabilities.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted entirely of purchases of equipment.

Current report

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $10.5 million is primarily due to net proceeds received of $4.9 million from issuance of common stock to Juvenescence in January 2025, $4.9 million received in April 2025 from a Securities Purchase Agreement entered with certain investors for a private placement of securities, and $0.6 million net proceeds from our ATM. See Note 6, Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for additional information.

Previous wording

An accounting policy is deemed critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur, that could materially impact the financial statements. Other than noted below, management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2026, as amended on March 27, 2026.

Previous wording

Commitments to issue common stock and warrants in connection with future equity financings are accounted for as outstanding contingently issuable instruments. The contingently issuable instruments are evaluated to determine if they are freestanding and their classification as equity or liability instruments. We have determined the accounting classification of the contingently issuable instruments, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether they meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, instruments are considered liability classified if they are mandatorily redeemable, thereby obligating us to settle the instrument or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or instruments that must or may require settlement by issuing a variable number of shares. If the contingently issuable instruments do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, we assess the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the instruments do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, and in order to conclude equity classification, we also assesses whether they are indexed to our common stock and whether they are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable U.S. GAAP. After all relevant assessments, we conclude whether the instruments are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified contingently issuable instruments are recorded as a tranche liability at fair value upon issuance and subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting period until settlement with all changes in fair value recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Equity classified contingently issuable instruments are recorded at fair value upon issuance and are not subsequently remeasured.

Previous wording

Since inception, we have had significant operating losses and negative cash flows and as of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $70.4 million. Our losses from operations, negative operating cash flows and accumulated deficit, as well as the additional capital needed to fund operations within twelve months of the issuance date of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development of our product candidates and will require additional financing to continue this development. Our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.9 million. Net cash used in operating activities during this period amounted to $4.6 million. The $2.3 million difference between the net loss and net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was comprised of non-cash items of $1.8 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $0.5 million. The non-cash items consisted of $1.6 million loss from extinguishment of financial commitment assets and contingent warrants, $1.1 million in stock-based compensation and $0.2 million in non-cash lease and interest expense. These non-cash items were reduced by the non-cash gain of $1.1 million from the change in the fair value of liability-classified instruments. The net $0.5 million cash from operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $0.9 million increase in accounts payable and $0.2 million increase in accrued expenses. These cash increases were partially offset by the decrease of $0.5 million in prepaid and other current assets and $0.1 million in lease liabilities.

Current wording

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and primarily consisted of our net loss of $13.3 million, partially offset by net non-cash charges of $2.7 million, and unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.7 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $2.1 million in stock-based compensation, $1.6 million loss from extinguishment of financial commitment assets and contingent warrants in connection with the March 2026 PIPE, $0.4 million of debt-related charges and $0.1 million of non-cash lease, offset by a non-cash gain of $1.5 million related to the change in fair value of liability-classified instruments.
