Bone Biologics (BBLG) trims losses, raises $2.7M but flags going-concern risk
Bone Biologics Corporation reported no revenue and a net loss of $1.54 million for the six months ended June 30 2026, an improvement from a $1.76 million loss a year earlier as total operating expenses declined 9.7% to $1.61 million. Research and development spending fell 26.8% to $450,344, largely due to timing of clinical trial activities, while general and administrative costs were roughly flat.
Cash totaled $4.03 million at June 30 2026, down from $5.33 million at year-end, with $1.32 million used in operating activities in the first half. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company completed a July 2026 private placement of pre-funded and common stock warrants, generating approximately $2.7 million in net proceeds and extending expected funding into the second quarter of 2027.
Management and the auditors state that recurring losses, an accumulated deficit of about $89.7 million, and limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing. The company remains a clinical-stage medical device business focused on its NELL-1/DBM spinal fusion program, with ongoing pilot clinical work in Australia and significant future spending anticipated to support pivotal trials and regulatory approval.
Positive
- Net loss narrowed by 12.4% year over year, to $1.54 million for the first half of 2026, as total operating expenses declined 9.7%, reflecting tighter spending while maintaining clinical development.
- A July 2026 private placement generated ~$2.7 million in net proceeds, which, combined with existing cash, is expected to fund operations into the second quarter of 2027.
Negative
- Management discloses substantial doubt about going concern within one year due to recurring losses, an accumulated deficit of about $89.7 million, and dependence on new financing.
- The company highlights a new Nasdaq market value of listed securities requirement; if implemented and not met, its stock and warrants could be delisted from Nasdaq, harming liquidity and capital-raising ability.
Filing Explained
The July financing adds multiple warrant-based routes to future shares, while Nasdaq’s new $5 million listing rule remains stayed.
Bone Biologics’s Form 10-Q, a quarterly report, records the July 2026 private placement as completed: the company issued pre-funded warrants and Series F and G warrants. This creates capacity for additional common shares, but does not mean all underlying shares have been issued.

Bone Biologics Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
1. The Company
Bone Biologics Corporation (the “Company”) is a medical device company that is currently focused on bone regeneration in spinal fusion using the recombinant human protein known as NELL-1. NELL-1 in combination with DBM, demineralized bone matrix, is an osteopromotive recombinant protein that provides target specific control over bone regeneration. The NELL-1 technology platform has been licensed exclusively for worldwide applications to the Company through a technology transfer from the UCLA Technology Development Group on behalf of UC Regents (“UCLA TDG”). UCLA TDG and the Company received guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that NELL-1/DBM will be classified as a device/drug combination product that will require an FDA-approved pre-market approval (“PMA”) application before it can be commercialized in the United States.
The production and marketing of the Company’s products and its ongoing research and development activities are subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States. Prior to marketing in the United States, any combination product developed by the Company must undergo rigorous preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. There can be no assurance that the Company will not encounter problems in clinical trials that will cause the Company or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials.
The Company’s success will depend in part on its ability to obtain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, rendered unenforceable, or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company.
Going Concern and Liquidity
The
Company has no significant operating history and since inception to June 30, 2026, has incurred accumulated losses of approximately $
| F-6 |
At
June 30, 2026, the Company had cash of $
Available cash including the July 2026 Private Placement is expected to fund the Company’s operations into the second quarter of 2027.
The Company will continue to attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet the Company’s needs. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s on-going cash requirements, the Company will be required to scale back or discontinue its product development programs, or obtain funds if available (although there can be no certainties) through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its technology, or substantially reduce or discontinue its operations entirely. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on the Company’s operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Reverse Stock Split
On
June 5, 2025, the Company filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware to effect a
All share and per share amounts have been retro-actively restated as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are ordinary and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and notes thereto included in the 2025 Annual Report.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 or for any other period.
Segment Information
The
Company operates and reports in
The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) as the sole measure of segment profit or loss. Significant segment expenses include research and development, salaries, insurance, and stock-based compensation. Operating expenses include all remaining costs necessary to operate our business, which primarily include external professional services and other administrative expenses (see Note 8).
| F-7 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Significant estimates include the assumptions used in the accounting for potential liabilities, the valuation of the warrant liability, the valuation of debt and equity instruments, the valuation of stock options and warrants issued for services, and the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Macroeconomic environment and geopolitical events
The Company is also subject to additional risks and uncertainties arising from changes to the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical events. U.S. and global financial markets have experienced volatility and disruption due to macroeconomic and geopolitical events such as the implementation of tariffs, inflation, the risk of a recession and ongoing conflicts in other countries. In addition, if equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any future debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain on favorable terms, and potentially more dilutive to existing stockholders. The Company cannot predict at this time to what extent it and its collaborators, employees, suppliers, contract manufacturers and/or vendors could potentially be negatively impacted by these events.
Cash
Cash
primarily consists of bank demand deposits maintained by a major financial institution. At June 30, 2026, the Company holds $
The
Company’s policy is to maintain its cash balances with financial institutions with high credit ratings and in accounts insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and/or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (the “SIPC”).
The Company may periodically have cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC and SIPC insurance limits of $
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, payroll and other personnel expenses, consultants, expenses incurred under agreements with contract research and manufacturing organizations and animal clinical investigative sites and the cost to manufacture clinical trial materials. Research and development costs are generally charged to operations ratably over the life of the underlying contracts, unless the achievement of milestones, the completion of contracted work, the termination of an agreement, or other information indicates that a different expensing schedule is more appropriate. However, payments for research and development costs that are contractually defined as non-refundable are charged to operations as incurred.
Payments made pursuant to contracts are initially recorded as advances on research and development contract services in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and are then charged to research and development costs in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as those contract services are performed. Expenses incurred under contracts in excess of amounts advanced are recorded as research and development contract liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding charge to research and development costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company reviews the status of its various clinical trial and research and development contracts on a quarterly basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The Company 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted 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.
Level 3 assumptions: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities including liabilities resulting from embedded derivatives associated with certain warrants to purchase common stock.
| F-8 |
The fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis was as follows:

The following table provides a roll-forward of the warrant liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable level 3 inputs for the six month period ended June 30, 2026 as follows:

| Balance as of June 30, 2026 | $ | |||
The Company believes the carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable approximate their values based on their short-term nature and are excluded from the fair value tables above.
Stock Based Compensation
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions to employees and non-employees. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.
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 ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 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. 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 of 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 at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants that are liability classified are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statement of operations at each balance sheet date.
| F-9 |
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options and warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Since the effects of outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, shares of common stock underlying these instruments have been excluded from the computation of loss per common share.
The following sets forth the number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants as of June 30, 2026 and 2025:

New Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires public business entities to disclose, for interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain income statement expense categories. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are permitted to apply either the prospective or retrospective transition methods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the adoption of this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)”. This ASU clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. An induced conversion is when a company induces debt holders to convert their debt into equity shares under changed terms and involved additional consideration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The adoption of this ASU has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which includes amendments to clarify interim reporting requirements and applicability of Topic 270 and codifies a principle requiring disclosure of material events and changes since the most recent annual reporting period. This guidance is effective for the Company for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
| F-10 |
The Company’s management has evaluated all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards and guidance that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company has developed a stand-alone platform technology through significant laboratory and small and large animal research over more than ten years to generate the current applications across broad fields of use, including the completion of two preclinical sheep studies that demonstrated our recombinant NELL-1 (“rhNELL-1”) growth factor effectively promotes bone formation in a phylogenetically advanced spine model.
During 2024, the Company announced the treatment of the first subjects in the multicenter, prospective, randomized pilot clinical study of our NB1 bone graft device. NB1 is NELL-1 protein combined with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to provide rapid, specific and guided control over bone regeneration.
The pilot clinical study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness, fusion success, pain, function improvement and adverse events of NB1 in up to 30 adult subjects who undergo transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion to treat degenerative disc disease. To be enrolled in the study, subjects must have DDD at one level from L2-S1 and may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or Grade 1 retrolisthesis at the involved level. The study is being conducted in Australia. The study design was previously reviewed and agreed upon by the FDA’s Division of Orthopedic Devices in a Pre-submission to support progression to a pivotal clinical trial in the United States.
The
Company has entered into various agreements with Contract Manufacturing Organizations (“CMOs”), Contract Research Organizations
and other third parties related to our pilot clinical study. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, research and development
expenses were principally attributable to clinical trials conducted for the Company’s lead product candidate. At June 30, 2026,
the estimated remaining commitment under these agreements is approximately $

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are as follows:
Schedule of Assumptions Using Black-Scholes Option Pricing Mode
| June 30, 2026 | ||||
| Risk free interest rate | % | |||
| Expected Volatility | % | |||
| Expected life (in years) | ||||
| Expected dividend yield | % | |||
The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. The Company determines the expected volatility based upon the historical volatility of our common stock since listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company does not believe that the future volatility of its common stock over an option’s expected term is likely to differ significantly from the past. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options as calculated using the simplified method. The expected life of the options used was based on the contractual life of the option granted. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because the Company settles these obligations by issuing shares of its common stock from its authorized shares instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with the SEC on March 2, 2026. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Note On Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Company Overview
We are a medical device company that is currently focused on bone regeneration in spinal fusion using the recombinant human protein known as NELL-1. NELL-1 in combination with DBM, demineralized bone matrix, is an osteopromotive recombinant protein that provides target specific control over bone regeneration. The NELL-1 technology platform has been licensed exclusively for worldwide applications to us through a technology transfer from UCLA TDG. UCLA TDG and the Company received guidance from the FDA that NELL-1/DBM will be classified as a device/drug combination product that will require an FDA-approved PMA before it can be commercialized in the United States.
We were founded by University of California professors in collaboration with an Osaka University professor and a University of Southern California surgeon in 2004 as a privately-held company with proprietary, patented platform technology. Our platform technology has been validated in sheep and non-human primate models to facilitate bone growth. We believe our platform technology has application in delivering improved outcomes in the surgical specialties of spinal, orthopedic, general orthopedic, plastic reconstruction, neurosurgery, interventional radiology, and sports medicine. Lead product development and clinical studies are targeted on spinal fusion surgery, one of the larger segments in the orthopedic market.
We are a clinical-stage entity. The production and marketing of our products and ongoing research and development activities are subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States. Prior to marketing in the United States, any combination product developed by us must undergo rigorous preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. There can be no assurance that we will not encounter problems in clinical trials that will cause us or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials.
Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and retain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. In the second quarter of 2025, we submitted a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) regarding proprietary compositions of rhNELL-1 polypeptide for treating bone conditions There can be no assurance that the USPTO will approve our patent application or that the patents issued to or licensed by us will not be challenged, invalidated, rendered unenforceable, or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to us.
During 2024, we announced the treatment of the first subjects in the multicenter, prospective, randomized pilot clinical study of our NB1 bone graft device. NB1 is NELL-1 protein combined with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to provide rapid, specific and guided control over bone regeneration.
The pilot clinical study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness, fusion success, pain, function improvement and adverse events of NB1 in up to 30 adult subjects who undergo transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion to treat degenerative disc disease (DDD). To be enrolled in the study, subjects must have DDD at one level from L2-S1 and may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or Grade 1 retrolisthesis at the involved level. The study is being conducted in Australia. The study design was previously reviewed and agreed upon by the FDA’s Division of Orthopedic Devices in a Pre-submission to support progression to a pivotal clinical trial in the United States.

July 2026 Private Placement
On July 9, 2026, we issued an investor pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,112,677 shares of common stock, together with Series F Warrants (the “Series F Warrants”) to purchase 2,112,677 shares of common stock and Series G Warrants (the “Series G Warrants,” and together with the Series F Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase 2,112,677 shares of common stock at a combined purchase price of $1.419 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants, for net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million.
In addition, we issued the placement agent, or its designees, placement agent warrants to purchase 126,761 shares of common stock as compensation in connection with the private placement. Except for the exercise price, the placement agent warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series F Warrants.
The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and remain outstanding until exercised in full. The Warrants, and placement agent warrants are exercisable commencing on the on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Stockholder Approval Date”) at an exercise price of $1.42, $1.42, and $1.775 per share, respectively. The Series F Warrants and placement agent warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date. The Series G Warrants expire on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date.
In addition to the placement agent warrants, the placement agent received compensation consisting of cash fee equal to 7.0% and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement. We also reimbursed the placement agent for non-accountable expenses in an amount of $35,000, and its legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $50,000.
ATM Offering
In September 2024, we entered into the ATM Agreement with Wainwright. Under the ATM Agreement, we may, from time to time, in our sole discretion, issue and sell through Wainwright up to $1,143,121 of shares of its common stock. In December 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement and increased the aggregate offering that can be sold under the ATM Agreement by $535,000. In March 2026, we filed an additional prospectus supplement and increased the aggregate offering that can be sold under the ATM Facility to $1,064,000.
Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, we may sell the shares by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will pay Wainwright a commission of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold under the ATM Agreement.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold 15,120 shares of common stock through the ATM Facility for net proceeds of $20,180, after deducting $2,090 in offering costs.
Results of Operations
Since our inception, we devoted substantially all of our efforts and funding to the development of the NELL-1 protein and raising capital. We have not yet generated revenues from our planned operations.

Research and Development
Our research and development expenditures increased from $191,608 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $308,747 for the same period in 2026, marking an increase of $117,139. The increase in costs can be attributed to our development activities to extend the shelf-life of our protein. We anticipate continued substantial investment in development activities for NELL-1 as we prepare for our pivotal clinical study in the future.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $57,108, from $556,467 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $499,359 for the same period in 2026.

Change in fair value of warrant liability
In October 2022, we completed a public equity offering, which included the issuance of 9,029 warrants to purchase shares of common stock that expire in October 2027. The warrants provide for a Black Scholes value calculation in the event of certain fundamental transactions, which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. We have determined that this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815, we have classified the fair value of the warrants as a liability to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
The change in fair value of warrant liability represents the re-measurement of the outstanding warrants at June 30, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern and Liquidity
We have no significant operating history and since inception to June 30, 2026 have incurred accumulated losses of approximately $89.7 million. We will continue to incur significant expenses for development activities for our lead product NELL-1/DBM. Operating expenditures for the next twelve months are estimated at $6.2 million. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $1.5 million and used net cash in operating activities of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
We will continue to attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund future operations and to provide additional working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be consummated or obtained in sufficient amounts necessary to meet our needs. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy our on-going cash requirements, we will be required to scale back or discontinue our product development programs, or obtain funds if available (although there can be no certainties) through strategic alliances that may require us to relinquish rights to our technology or substantially reduce or discontinue our operations entirely. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash of $4,031,780 and $5,334,322, respectively. On July 7, 2026, the Company entered the July 2026 Private Placement and after deducting cash costs of $357,000, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million from the offering.
Available cash including the July 2026 Private Placement is expected to fund the Company’s operations into the second quarter of 2027.
Cash Flows
Operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, cash used in operating activities totaled $1,322,722 and $1,385,004, respectively.
Financing activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by financing activities was $20,180 from the net proceeds of the ATM Facility compared to $4,700,341 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was from the net proceeds of the ATM Facility, the net proceeds of a public offering completed in June 2025 and the exercise of pre-funded warrants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of our business, we may periodically become subject to various lawsuits. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
For a discussion of the Company’s potential risks or uncertainties, please see “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” and “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC, and “Part I—Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” herein. There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 except as noted herein.
There can be no assurance that our shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), which would affect our common stock’s liquidity and reduce our ability to raise capital.
On July 22, 2026, the SEC approved a new continued listing requirement codified as Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(6) that requires companies to maintain a market value of listed securities of at least $5 million (the “MVLS Requirement”). On July 29, 2026, the SEC provided notice that the order approving the MVLS Requirement was stayed pending a petition for review of the action. As of the date hereof, we are not in compliance with the MVLS Requirement if it were to come into effect. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(1), if the MVLS Requirement comes into effect and we fail to meet the MVLS Requirement for 30 consecutive business days, our securities will be suspended and immediately delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, even if we are appealing a delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”), and the Panel will have limited discretion to reverse the delisting determination if it was issued in error or grant an exception for up to 180 days for us to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for initial listing on Nasdaq.
If the MVLS Requirement comes into effect, we cannot assure you that we will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s other continued listing standards. Accordingly, our common stock and certain warrants could be delisted from Nasdaq. We and holders of our securities could be materially adversely impacted if our securities are delisted from Nasdaq. In particular:
| ● | we may be unable to raise equity capital on acceptable terms or at all; | |
| ● | we may lose the confidence of our business partners, which would jeopardize our ability to continue our business as currently conducted; | |
| ● | the price of our common stock will likely decrease as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws; | |
| ● | holders may be unable to sell or purchase our securities when they wish to do so; | |
| ● | we may become subject to stockholder litigation; | |
| ● | we may lose the interest of institutional investors in our common stock; | |
| ● | we may lose media and analyst coverage; | |
| ● | our common stock could be considered a “penny stock,” which would likely limit the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock; and | |
| ● | we would likely lose any active trading market for our common stock, as it may only be traded on one of the over-the-counter markets, if at all. |
