Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, reflecting its pivot to a broader pipeline strategy while remaining pre-revenue and loss-making. Total assets rose to $21.9 million from $8.6 million at year-end 2025, driven mainly by a cash balance of about $20.0 million following a May 2026 private placement and use of its at-the-market program.

The company recorded a net loss of about $2.6 million for the quarter and $7.5 million for the first half, compared with $2.4 million and $6.7 million in the prior-year periods, as research and development and general and administrative expenses both increased. As of June 30, 2026, accumulated deficit reached $107.8 million, but management states existing cash plus net proceeds from recent financings are expected to fund planned operations for more than twelve months from issuance of these financial statements.

CNS completed a $22.5 million gross private placement, issuing 650,000 common shares and pre-funded warrants for 9,143,479 shares, and sold additional stock via its AGP ATM program. It reported material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including segregation-of-duties limitations and reliance on a contract research organization, and disclosed these controls remain ineffective as of June 30, 2026.

Positive

  • Liquidity strengthened: Cash and cash equivalents increased to about $20.0 million at June 30, 2026, from $7.2 million at December 31, 2025, supported by equity financings and resulting in working capital of approximately $18.2 million.
  • Financing completed: In May 2026 the company closed a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $22.5 million (net $20.7 million), plus about $0.5 million of ATM sales, supporting its new corporate strategy.
  • Runway beyond 12 months: Management states that current cash and the net proceeds from the recent financing are believed sufficient to fund planned operations beyond twelve months from the financial statement issuance date.

Negative

  • Rising net losses: Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $7.5 million, up 12.7% from $6.7 million in the prior-year period, with an accumulated deficit of $107.8 million.
  • Operating expenses growing: Total operating expenses for the first half increased 13.8% year over year to $7.7 million, including higher personnel, severance and TPI-287 manufacturing and research costs.
  • Material weaknesses in controls: Management concluded disclosure controls and procedures remain ineffective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including limited segregation of duties, CRO data issues and lack of formal control documentation.

Filing Explained

As of June 30, 2026, no pre-funded warrants had been exercised, but 9,143,479 shares remained available at a nominal exercise price.

As of June 30, 2026, no investors had exercised the 9,143,479 pre-funded warrants; exercise would convert them into common shares at $0.001 each, increasing the share count and reducing existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes, subject to ownership caps.

The filing therefore distinguishes a contractual share-conversion right from an issuance that has already occurred: the warrants were fully vested and exercisable for nominal consideration, but the company reported no exercise by the balance-sheet date.

Management also states that it has no commitments for the additional financing it expects will be needed to execute its business plan and may need to sell further debt or equity securities.

The next quarterly filing should resolve whether any pre-funded warrants were exercised and whether additional financing commitments were obtained.

pre-funded warrants financial
"pre-funded warrants to purchase 9,143,479 shares of common stock"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
material weaknesses financial
"our disclosure controls and procedures were, and continue to be, ineffective because of the material weaknesses"
Material weaknesses are significant flaws in a company’s systems for ensuring its financial reports are accurate and reliable. Like a broken lock on a safe, they increase the chance that financial statements contain big errors or omissions, which can mislead investors about performance and risk; discovering one often raises questions about management oversight, may lead to restated results, and can affect investor confidence and a company’s valuation.
going concern financial
"these financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern"
Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.
anti-dilutive financial
"potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted per share calculations as they would be anti-dilutive"
A claim, security feature, or action described as anti-dilutive prevents or does not cause a reduction in existing shareholders’ per-share values when additional shares could be issued. For example, certain convertible securities or corporate actions are treated as anti-dilutive for earnings-per-share calculations if including them would raise EPS rather than lower it; investors watch this because it affects reported per-share metrics, ownership percentages, and valuation comparisons, like keeping pie slices the same size instead of making them smaller.
smaller reporting company regulatory
"We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act"
A smaller reporting company is a publicly traded firm that meets regulatory size tests allowing it to provide abbreviated financial disclosures and compliance filings compared with larger companies. For investors, that means financial statements and notes may be less detailed, which can make it harder to compare performance or spot risks—think of reading a short summary instead of a full report when deciding whether to buy or hold a stock.
Net loss (three months) $2.588 million Increased 9.0% versus $2.375 million in Q2 2025
Net loss (six months) $7.525 million Increased 12.7% versus $6.676 million in H1 2025
R&D expense (six months) $4.745 million Increased 7.6% from $4.410 million in H1 2025
G&A expense (six months) $2.930 million Increased 25.4% from $2.337 million in H1 2025
Total operating expenses (six months) $7.675 million Increased 13.8% from $6.747 million in H1 2025

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 – Nature of Business

 

CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) is a biotechnology company organized as a Nevada corporation in July 2017. In March 2026, the Company announced a new corporate strategy focused on developing innovative therapies for serious diseases. The Company is leveraging its executive team’s multi-functional experiences across high-value therapeutic areas to execute its new corporate strategy, which also includes pivoting from a singular focus on glioblastoma multiforme and exploring out-licensing opportunities for its legacy assets TPI 287 and Berubicin for which the Company has intellectual property rights under license agreement with Cortice and owns pursuant to a collaboration and asset purchase agreement with Reata.

  

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim unaudited financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Company, necessary in order to make the condensed financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2025 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 (“Form 10-K”). Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern - Since inception, the Company has a history of net losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $7.5 million and used cash in operations of approximately $8.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $107.8 million and cash of approximately $20.0 million. On May 5, 2026, the Company completed a private placement financing resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $22.5 million (see Note 4 – Equity). The Company believes that the net proceeds from this financing, combined with the Company's existing cash resources, are sufficient to fund planned operations beyond twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid accounts with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company did not carry any cash balances in excess of the FDIC limit as of June 30, 2026. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and it believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

 

 

 

 7 

 

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line depreciation method as follows:

 
Leasehold improvement Shorter of estimated useful lives or the term of the lease
Computer equipment 3 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Furniture and office equipment 7 years

 

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Related Parties - The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Stock-based Compensation - Employee and non-employee share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period for stock options and restricted stock units.

 

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) - Our RSUs vest over two to four years from the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is the market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The Company reverses any previously recognized compensation cost associated with forfeited RSUs in the period which the forfeiture occurs.

 

Performance Units (“PUs”) - The PUs vest based on our performance against predefined share price targets and the achievement of Positive Interim Clinical Data as defined by the Board.

 

Warrants - The Company evaluates all freestanding and embedded warrants to determine whether they meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, or if they must be classified as liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815-10. The Company evaluated the warrants and concluded they are indexed to the Company's common stock and meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40, as they are settleable in shares and the Company has sufficient shares authorized. The warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance within stockholders' equity.

 

Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purpose of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company using information about combined net loss from operations. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as one operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment. See statement of operations for information about combined net loss from operations.

Note 3 – Note Payable

 

On November 8, 2025, the Company entered into a short-term note payable for an aggregate of $0.4 million, bearing interest at 8.24% per year to finance certain insurance policies. Principal and interest payments related to the note will be repaid over an 11-month period with the final payment due on October 8, 2026. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s note payable balance was de minimis and $0.3 million, respectively. On May 15, 2026, the Company terminated certain insurance policies that were financed by the short-term note payable and was issued a return of the premium that was financed by its short-term note payable, which resulted in a de minimis balance related to other insurance policies financed by the short-term note payable as of June 30, 2026.

 

Note 4 – Equity

 

The Company has authorized 300,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share. In addition, the Company authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock to be issued having a par value of $0.001. The specific rights of the preferred stock shall be determined by the board of directors.

 

On July 22, 2025, the Company effected a reverse stock split on a 1-for-12 basis without any change in the par value per share, which remained at $0.001. The reverse stock split has been retroactively adjusted throughout these financial statements and footnotes. The number of authorized shares of common stock was proportionately reduced from 300,000,000 to 25,000,000, while the number of authorized shares of preferred stock was proportionately reduced from 5,000,000 to 416,667.

 

On November 20, 2025, following approval by shareholders, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to increase the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares and to increase the total number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 416,667 shares to 5,000,000 shares.

 

Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants

 

On May 4, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors purchased in a private placement: (i) 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.30 per share; and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 9,143,479 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a purchase price of $2.299 per Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Offering”).

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance into one share of common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.001 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and expire once such Pre-Funded Warrant is fully exercised. The holder of a Pre-Funded Warrant is prohibited from exercising any Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% (or 9.99% as applicable) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $22.5 million. Net proceeds, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses, were $20.7 million. As of June 30, 2026, no Investors have exercised their Pre-Funded Warrants.

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “AGP ATM Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”). Pursuant to the terms of the AGP ATM Sales Agreement, the Company originally was permitted to sell from time to time through AGP, as sales agent or principal, shares of the Company’s common stock with initial aggregate sales price of up to $5.2 million. On July 30, 2024, the Company increased the aggregate sales price of common stock that may be sold under the AGP ATM Sales Agreement to $25.0 million (not including the original $5.2 million). On March 20, 2025, the Company increased the aggregate sales price of common stock that may be sold under the AGP ATM Sales Agreement to $43.5 million (which amount includes $6.4 million remaining from the $30.2 million set forth above). On September 19, 2025, the Company decreased the sales price of common shares that may be sold under the AGP ATM Sales Agreement to $1.8 million, which amount does not include any shares of common stock sold prior to such date.

 

On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”) for the public offering by the Company of (i) 27,084 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 302,295 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded A.G.P. Warrants”); and (iii) Series F Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 329,381 shares of common stock (the “Common Warrants”). The Common Warrants and Pre-Funded A.G.P. Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the (“Warrants”). The combined purchase price of one share of common stock and one accompanying Common Warrant was $15.18 and the combined purchase price of one Pre-Funded A.G.P. Warrant and one accompanying Common Warrant was $15.17.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance. Each Pre-Funded A.G.P. Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at a price per share of $0.001 and expire once such Pre-Funded A.G.P. Warrants are fully exercised. The Common Warrants are exercisable into one share of Common Stock at a price per share of $13.68 and expire five years from Initial Exercise Date. The closing of this offering occurred on May 14, 2025.

Stock Options

 

In 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan (the “2020 Plan”).

Reata Agreement

 

On November 21, 2017, the Company entered into a Collaboration and Asset Purchase Agreement with Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Reata”). Through this agreement, the Company purchased all of Reata’s rights, title, interest and previously conducted research and development results in the chemical compound commonly known as Berubicin. In exchange for these rights, the Company agreed to pay Reata an amount equal to 2.25% of the net sales of Berubicin for a period of 10 years from the Company’s first commercial sale of Berubicin plus $10,000. Reata also agreed to collaborate with the Company on the development of Berubicin, from time to time.

 

Cortice Biosciences, Inc. Exclusive License Agreement

 

On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Cortice Agreements”) with Cortice Biosciences, Inc. (“Cortice”) pursuant to which Cortice granted the Company an exclusive license to the intellectual property rights related to certain patents around the compound TPI 287 in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan. The term of the license will expire, other than due to a breach of the Cortice Agreements, at the end of the royalty term with respect to any licensed product in any of the included territories, which begins upon the first commercial sale in such territory and ends on the latest of (i) ten years after such sale, (ii) the expiration of regulatory or marketing exclusivity for such licensed product in such country, or (iii) the expiration of the last to expire valid patent claim in such country covering such licensed product. Pursuant to the Cortice Agreements, the Company agreed to issue Cortice 956 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the transaction, which occurred on July 29, 2024, and 73 shares of Company common stock upon the receipt of shareholder approval of such issuance as required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company also agreed to make milestone payments to Cortice in either cash or shares of Company common stock (at Cortice’s option) upon: (i) meeting the primary endpoint of a pivotal trial for a licensed product – either $15.0 million or 686 shares of Company common stock; (ii) FDA acceptance of a New Drug Application for a licensed product – either $30.0 million or 1,371 shares of Company common stock; (iii) the first commercial sale in the United States of a licensed product – either $45.0 million or 2,056 shares of Company common stock; and (iv) the first commercial sale in Japan of a licensed product – either $10.0 million or 343 shares of Company common stock. The Company’s obligation to pay the above milestones in Company common stock is subject to the receipt of shareholder approval as required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company also agreed to pay Cortice royalties on sales of licensed products of between 3.0%-7.5%. Finally, to the extent Cortice is required to pay any milestone payments to the original holder of the intellectual property rights licensed, the Company has agreed to make such payments to Cortice. As of June 30, 2026, there were no accruals related to the milestone payments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) EDGAR website at www.sec.gov, 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, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We make forward-looking statements under the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this Form 10-Q. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in other filings made by us from time to time with the SEC.

 

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q may describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

 

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so. In addition, with respect to all of our forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

  · our ability to secure rights to new pipeline assets;
     
  · our ability to obtain additional funding to develop pipeline assets;
     
  · our ability to maintain compliance with the NASDAQ Capital Market’s continued listing requirements, including any new continued listing requirements that are approved in the future;
     
  · the success of our research and development efforts and clinical trials through all phases of clinical development;
     
  · the need to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates;
     
  · compliance with obligations under intellectual property licenses with third parties;
     
  · any delays in regulatory review and approval of product candidates in clinical development;
     
  · our ability to commercialize our product candidates;
     
  · market acceptance of our product candidates;
     
  · competition from existing products or new products that may emerge;
     
  · potential product liability claims;
     
  · our dependency on third-party manufacturers to supply or manufacture our products;
     
  · our ability to establish or maintain collaborations, licensing or other arrangements;
     
  · our ability and third parties’ abilities to protect intellectual property rights;

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

  · our ability to adequately support future growth; and
     
  · our ability to attract and retain key personnel to manage our business effectively.

 

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q in the case of forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We are a biotechnology company organized as a Nevada corporation in July 2017. In March 2026, we announced a new corporate strategy focused on developing innovative therapies for serious diseases. We are leveraging our executive team’s multi-functional experiences across high-value therapeutic areas to execute our new corporate strategy, which also includes pivoting from a singular focus on glioblastoma multiforme and exploring out-licensing opportunities for our legacy assets TPI 287 and Berubicin for which we have intellectual property rights under license agreement with Cortice and own pursuant to a collaboration and asset purchase agreement with Reata.

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expenses was approximately $1.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $0.6 million in clinical costs related to Berubicin is offset by an increase in headcount and related expenses of $0.6 million. R&D expense includes activity related to completing and closing out the clinical trial for Berubicin as enrollment and patient treatment is complete. Our future research and development expense will be dependent on the timing and nature of any new asset we in-license or acquire and the development expenses related to such asset.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense was approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase of $0.3 million in general and administrative expense was attributable to increases in headcount related expenses of $0.6 million, which is partially offset by a decrease in professional services, including accounting consulting and investor relations fees of $0.3 million. 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense) was approximately $0.1 million and $0.03 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in other income was mainly due to an increase in interest income due to higher cash balances in our money market accounts.

 

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

 

The following sets forth our results of operations (in thousands):

 

   Six Months Ended June 30,   Change 
   2026   2025   Amount   % 
                 
Operating expenses:                    
Research and development  $4,745   $4,410   $335    7.6%

Net loss  $(7,525)  $(6,676)  $(849)   12.7% 

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expense was approximately $4.7 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in research and development expense of $0.3 million is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel related expense, including severance, of $1.1 million and an increase in TPI-287 manufacturing and research costs of $0.5 million. These increases are partially offset by decreases in clinical costs related to Berubicin of $1.3 million. R&D expense includes activity related to completing and closing out the clinical trial for Berubicin as enrollment and patient treatment is complete. Our future research and development expense will be dependent on the timing and nature of any new asset we in-license or acquire and the development expenses related to such asset.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense was approximately $2.9 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expense of $0.6 million was attributable to increases of approximately $0.2 million in consulting costs, mainly attributable to business development, $0.3 million in recruiting costs and $0.1 million in severance costs.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income (expense) was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in other income was mainly due to an increase in interest income due to higher cash balances in our money market accounts.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On June 30, 2026, we had cash of approximately $20.0 million and we had a working capital surplus of approximately $18.2 million. We have historically funded our operations from proceeds from debt and equity sales.

 

On July 26, 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “AGP ATM Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”). Pursuant to the terms of the AGP ATM Sales Agreement, we are permitted to sell from time to time through AGP, as sales agent or principal, shares of our common stock. During the period ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold 178,933 shares of common stock pursuant to the AGP ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company sold 447,102 shares of common stock pursuant to the AGP ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $23.7 million since entering into the Sales Agreement in July 2024.

 

On May 4, 2026, we entered into a Purchase Agreement for a private placement financing that resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $22.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we sold an aggregate of (i) 650,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.30 per share and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 9,143,479 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.299 per pre-funded warrant. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The private placement closed on May 5, 2026.

 

We believe that the net proceeds from this financing, combined with our existing cash resources, are sufficient to fund planned operations beyond twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Our strategy is focused on identifying and securing the rights to development stage assets and advancing any assets we obtain the rights to. The timing, cost and ultimate success of which are all difficult to predict and as such the foregoing estimate may prove to be inaccurate. The cost of advancing any drug candidate will require significant additional capital. We have no commitments for such additional needed financing and will likely be required to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities.

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

We will need to raise significant additional capital in the future in order to meet our future obligations and execute our business plan. If we are unable to execute our business plan, we will be required to develop and implement an alternative plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead or scale back our business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations and the execution of our business plan. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful and if it is not successful we may need to cease operations entirely.

 

Summary of Cash Flows

 

Cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $8.2 million and $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and mainly included payments made for clinical trial costs, officer compensation, insurance, consulting fees, attorneys and accountants.

 

Cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was de minimis for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Cash provided by financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $21.0 million and $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 included proceeds from the Offering, partially offset by the repayments on the notes payable. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the sale of common stock and proceeds from our subscription receivable related to the AGP ATM Sales Agreement, which were partially offset by the repayments of notes payable.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Purchase Commitments

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, although we are required to pay certain milestones fees to Reata and Cortice as described in Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. As a result, management is required to routinely make judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or assumptions. Management determined there were no critical accounting estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, who serves as our principal executive officer, and our chief financial officer, who serves as our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2026, of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon such evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were, and continue to be, ineffective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties (resulting from the limited number of personnel available), limited access to timely and complete information regarding the status of costs incurred in the activation of investigational sites and costs from treating patients in our study, which is a result of the use of a third-party Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) to manage the study, and the lack of formal documentation of our control environment. Management is commencing actions to address the lack of formal documentation of our control environment, although this will not address the lack of segregation of duties. Management is also working with the CRO to improve the timeliness and completeness of the data reported to the Company to address this material weakness, as well as conducting increased analysis of such data to be performed by the Company.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305) or combination of control deficiencies that result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

In light of the material weakness described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.

 

We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Except as previously disclosed on Form 8-K, we have not issued any unregistered securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers has adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

 

On August 11, 2026, Michal Fisher was nominated and appointed to serve as a member of our Compensation Committee. Ms. Fisher was appointed to our Board of Directors on May 4, 2026.

 

On August 12, 2026, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers.
