Medicus Pharma (MDCX) widens loss as it raises $32M and adds secured notes
Medicus Pharma Ltd. reported a larger loss and higher spending for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, while significantly increasing its cash through new debt and equity financings. The company remains a clinical-stage biotech with no product revenue and focuses on its SkinJect microneedle cancer patch and Teverelix programs.
Total assets were $27.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $15.2 million and restricted cash of $10.0 million, against total liabilities of $28.8 million, resulting in a shareholders’ deficit of $1.7 million. The six‑month net loss widened to $20.7 million from $11.3 million a year earlier, driven by higher general and administrative expenses of $12.5 million and research and development expenses of $7.6 million, including increased Teverelix trial activity and stock‑based compensation.
Operating cash use was $16.0 million over six months, funded by $32.4 million of financing inflows: $22.0 million in secured promissory notes, $12.4 million from an at‑the‑market program and $4.1 million from a standby equity purchase agreement, partly offset by debenture repayment. Management discloses substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern without further capital and notes a Nasdaq minimum bid‑price deficiency.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern risk: Management states that recurring losses, expected ongoing operating losses, and dependence on external financing create substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year.
- Losses materially higher: Six‑month net loss increased to $20.7 million from $11.3 million, with operating expenses up $8.9 million, reflecting heavier G&A and R&D spending.
- Leverage and restricted cash: New secured promissory notes total $22.9 million in principal, with $10.0 million held as restricted cash that cannot be used for general purposes except under financing terms.
- Nasdaq compliance risk: The company received notice that its share price was below the $1.00 minimum bid requirement and has until October 19, 2026 to regain compliance, creating listing uncertainty.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as well as forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "will," "would," or the negative of such terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, among other things, statements about:
our financial results, including our ability to continue as a going concern, generate earnings and achieve and sustain profitability, which may vary significantly from forecasts and from period to period;
the progress, timing and completion of our research, development and preclinical studies and clinical trials for our products and product candidates, and any progress or developments regarding the regulatory approvals sought and process related thereto;
our ability to successfully integrate Antev Limited into our business and operations, successfully develop Teverelix trifluoroacetate and realize the benefits currently anticipated from the Antev transaction;
our ability to market, commercialize, achieve market acceptance for and sell our products and product candidates and the potential market opportunities related thereto;
our ability to develop, manage and maintain our direct sales and marketing organizations;
our estimates regarding anticipated operating losses, future revenues, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing;
market risks regarding consolidation in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotech/life sciences industry;
the willingness of healthcare providers to purchase our products if coverage, reimbursement and pricing from third party payors for procedures using our products significantly declines;
our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others;
the market price of our securities may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could cause the value of your investment to decline and may impact our ability to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market;
the fact that product quality issues or product defects may harm our business;
any product liability claims; and
the regulatory, legal and certain operating risks that our operations subject us to.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2026 (the "2025 Annual Report") and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)
1. Description of business
Medicus Pharma Ltd. (the "Company"), formerly Interactive Capital Partners Corporation, is a clinical stage, multi-strategy, life sciences, biotech company focused on investing in and accelerating clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutic assets.
The Company is a public limited company originally incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on April 30, 2008, as a private company named Interactive Capital Partners Corporation, with nominal assets and liabilities. The Company's registered office is located at 100 King Street West, Suite 3400, One First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and its head office is located at 300 Conshohocken State Rd., Suite 200, W. Conshohocken, PA.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures of the Company normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC's rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, originally filed with the SEC on March 25, 2026 (the "2025 Annual Report"). These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, SkinJect, Inc., Medicus Pharma Inc., Antev Limited ("Antev") and MDCX Holdings, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements represents the portion of Antev not 100% owned by the Company. The functional currency of the Company and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, SkinJect, Inc., Medicus Pharma Inc. and MDCX Holdings, LLC. is the United States dollar (USD). The functional currency of the Company's other subsidiary, Antev is Pound Sterling (GBP).
Foreign operations remeasurement and translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates, are generally recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The results and financial position of foreign operation which has functional currency different from presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position, income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates, and all resulting translated exchange differences are recognized in a separate component of other comprehensive loss within the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the valuation of stock-based awards, the incremental borrowing rate used to discount the Company's operating lease liabilities, fair value of the Company's debentures and secured promissory notes and warrants, and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, all of which are management's best estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in estimates in future years could be significant. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable, however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating segments
Operating segments are identified as components of an entity about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures" to provide greater transparency about the components of specific expense categories in the income statements. The effective dates of ASU 2024-03 were subsequently clarified by ASU 2025-01. ASU 2025-01 is effective for our annual period beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendment on the Company's financial statements.
There were no other significant updates to the recently issued accounting standards which may be applicable to the Company. Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, the Company does not believe any of those accounting pronouncements have had or will have a material impact on its financial position or operating results.

4. Leases
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had one operating lease for its corporate office that commenced in 2024, for which the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability as of the commencement date. The Company's lease does not contain a purchase option. Where the Company's lease contains an option to extend the lease term, the extended lease term is only included in the measurement of the lease when it is reasonably certain to remain in the lease beyond the non-cancellable term. The Company's lease also contains variable lease costs, which pertain to common area maintenance and other operating charges, that are expensed as incurred.

In January 2026, reimbursable salaries paid to RBx pursuant to this agreement were increased to $
8. Fair value measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, or which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as Level 1. The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents is determined based on market pricing that is both objective and publicly available. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $

The Company did not reclassify any investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
The carrying value of the Company's secured promissory notes described in Note 12 below approximates the fair value since the financial instrument is short-term with a maturity date of November 27, 2027. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of the Company's other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.
9. Commitments and contingencies
Commitments
As part of the acquisition of Antev, the Company may be required to make future payments contingent on the achievement of specified milestones. These potential payments represent a commitment and may result in future cash outflows. As these milestones conditions are not considered probable, the Company has not recognized liability related to the contingent consideration.
Pursuant to the terms of the Antev acquisition, the Company acquired

Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims related to operations, rights, commercial, employment or other claims. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider the Company's exposure to such claims to be material to these consolidated financial statements.
10. Segment reporting

11. Debentures and Secured Promissory Notes
On September 17, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Yorkville to issue a debenture with the principal amount of $
The debenture was initially recorded at fair value, based on the discounted proceeds. Subsequently, the Company accounted for the debenture at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, resulting in accretion expense of $
On May 27, 2026, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC ("Streeterville"), pursuant to which the Company issued two secured promissory notes with aggregate principal amounts of $
The Secured Promissory Notes are secured by a first-ranking security interest over substantially all assets of the Company. Guarantees are provided by the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company evaluated the transaction under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that the issuance of the Streeterville promissory notes and repayment of the Yorkville debenture should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the Yorkville debenture was derecognized upon settlement, and the newly issued promissory notes were recognized as new debt instruments.
The Company initially recorded the Note A and Note B ("promissory notes") at fair value based on the proceeds received, net of directly attributable debt issuance costs. Subsequently, the Company accounts for the promissory notes at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the contractual life of the respective promissory notes. The Company incurred $
The Note A permits the lender to require monthly redemptions beginning on the seventh month following the issuance, subject to the terms of the agreement. Beginning on the seventh month following the issuance date, the lender has the right to require monthly redemptions of up to $
Both Note A and Note B contain customary trigger event and event of default provisions, including payment defaults, insolvency events, delisting determinations and specified corporate transactions.
As at June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the terms and covenants of both notes.
In connection with Note B, $
The Company evaluated the embedded features contained within the promissory notes and concluded that certain features would require bifurcation under ASC 815; however, the fair value of such features was determined to be de minimis. Accordingly, no embedded derivative liability was recorded as of June 30, 2026.

13. Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. In addition to the ATM, SEPA and Debenture (as defined herein), management believes that the Company has access to additional capital resources through public and/or private equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, it is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. Further, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company's shareholders. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These measures could cause significant delays or entirely prevent the Company's continued efforts to progress its research and development program, pursue product portfolio expansion or commercialize its current or future products, each of which is critical to the realization of the Company's business plan and its future operations. This uncertainty, along with the Company's history of losses, indicates that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is subject to risks associated with any specialty biotechnology company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company's research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable.

Company Overview
Medicus Pharma Ltd. (the "Company") is a clinical stage, multi-strategy, biotech/life sciences company focused on investing in and accelerating clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutic assets. The Company looks into opportunities across all therapeutic areas where an unmet need exists for improved patient safety and efficacy. The Company is opportunistically exploring to expand its drug development pipeline through qualified and accretive acquisitions and partnerships.
The Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Medicus Pharma Inc., a company incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 12, 2023, SkinJect, Inc. ("SkinJect"), a company incorporated in the state of Pennsylvania on March 3, 2015 and, for purposes of engaging in the Secured Promissory Notes (as defined below) transactions, MDCX Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company organized in the state of Utah on May 19, 2026.
The Company also has one non-wholly owned subsidiary, Antev Limited ("Antev"), a company formed in England and Wales, of which it owns 98.6% of the issued and outstanding shares.
SkinJect is focused on the development of a novel "innovation combination product", as an investigational new drug, using uniquely designed, patent protected dissolvable microneedle arrays ("C-MNA" or "P-MNA") and doxorubicin containing dissolvable microneedle arrays ("D-MNA") for the treatment of certain skin cancers. To that end, the Company licensed certain technology co-developed by the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. The Company established and validated fabrication processes relative to the C-MNAs or P-MNAs and D-MNAs, completed pre-clinical testing and secured approval to proceed with clinical trials activity from the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA").
The Company has advanced SkinJect through a multi-stage clinical program. An initial Phase 1 dose-escalation study ("SKNJCT-001") established that the D-MNA patch was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicity in patients with basal cell carcinoma ("BCC"). The Company also initiated a study ("SKNJCT-002") to evaluate device penetration in healthy volunteers, but paused the study after enrolling seven of a planned 15 subjects due to variability in array application and ultimately closed the study without further enrollment - no adverse events were reported. The Company also conducted a Phase 2 study ("SKNJCT-003") which was a randomized, double-blinded, three arm study evaluating two dose levels of D-MNA compared with a device-only control (C-MNA or P-MNA) in patients with nodular type basal cell carcinoma ("nBCC"). The SKNJCT-003 study, conducted across sites in the United States and in Europe, reported topline results in March 2026 showing 73% clinical clearance and 40% histological clearance in the D-MNA arm compared to 38% clinical clearance in the device-only P-MNA arm in the 200-µg patient cohort at Day 57 of the study. The Company provided further updates on the results of the SKNJCT-003 study in June 2026, showing 55% histological clearance and 64% clinical clearance in patients in the 200 ug cohort that were treated with SkinJect. The Company is conducting a separate Phase 2 study in the United Arab Emirates ("SKNJCT-004") and, in September 2025, gained FDA alignment to pursue the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway to treat BCC using D-MNA.
The Company is separately pursuing SkinJect as a treatment for Gorlin Syndrome (Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome), a rare inherited genetic disorder associated with lifelong development of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recurrent skin cancers. In support of this program, the Company is pursuing a registrational Phase 2b study design ("SKNJCT-005") and filed applications for Orphan Drug Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation.
11
In August 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Antev, a UK-based clinical biotech company developing Teverelix, a next-generation gonadotropin-releasing hormone ("GnRH") antagonist, as a first in market product for cardiovascular high-risk prostate cancer patients and patients with first acute urinary retention ("AUR") episodes due to enlarged prostate. The Company has received FDA clearance to proceed with a Phase 2b dose-optimization study of Teverelix in men with advanced prostate cancer ("APC") and has submitted an optimized Phase 2 study design for the prevention of recurrent AUR in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The Company has also submitted an investigational new drug application to the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") Department of Health, Abu Dhabi ("DOH") for its planned PRECISION-E2 study, a first-of-its-kind, Phase 2a genomics-enabled clinical trial, that will evaluate Teverelix in women with symptomatic endometriosis in the UAE.
The Company continues to engage with the FDA and international regulators to advance these programs toward registrational development and to pursue further developmental opportunities.
Recent Developments
On April 6, 2026, the Company announced its submission of an optimized Phase 2 clinical study design to the FDA for Teverelix, for the prevention of recurrent AUR in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia as part of the Company's existing open investigational new drug for Teverelix.
On April 17, 2026, the Company announced its submission of an orphan drug designation application to the FDA for SkinJect for the treatment of BCC in patients with Gorlin Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple, recurrent skin cancers.
On April 21, 2026, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, notifying the Company that the closing bid price for the common shares had been below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company is therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 19, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the common shares must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On May 6, 2026, the Company announced results from a pre-specified expanded dataset analysis demonstrating positive dose response from its Phase 2 SKNJCT-003 study evaluating safety and efficacy of D-MNA to treat nBCC of the skin, the most common type of skin cancer. This additional pre-specified analysis, builds upon the previously reported positive topline results, provides expanded biological, histologic, and safety insights that further strengthen SkinJect's therapeutic profile and future registrational discussions with the FDA. The expanded analysis showed clear and consistent dose response relationship across endpoints, demonstrating stronger separation between the 200ug cohort and control, particularly at Day 57. These additional findings are also consistent with prior Phase 1 clinical observations in the SKNJCT-001 study in March 2021, and interim analysis of SKNJCT-003 in March 2025, reinforcing reproducibility across studies.
On June 3, 2026, the Company announced its submission of Protocol SKNJCT-005 to the FDA under the Company's existing Investigational New Drug ("IND") application, for SkinJect into registrational development for patients with Gorlin Syndrome, also called Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome, a rare inherited genetic disorder associated with lifelong development of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recurrent skin cancers, often resulting in repeated surgical procedures. The submitted protocol outlines a Phase 2b, open-label study designed to generate efficacy and safety data intended to support a future new drug application for SkinJect in Gorlin Syndrome.
12
On June 8, 2026, the Company announced its submission of a substantial modification application through the European Union Clinical Trials Information System supporting the planned Phase 2b study of Teverelix in APC. The planned Phase 2b study is designed to optimize dose selection and further characterize the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, efficacy and safety profile of Teverelix ahead of planned registrational development. Medicus has previously engaged extensively with the FDA regarding its APC development strategy, including future studies focused on patients with elevated cardiovascular risk.
On June 11, 2026, the Company announced its submission of an IND application to the DOH for PRECISION-E2, a first-of-its-kind, Phase 2a genomics-enabled clinical trial evaluating Teverelix in women with symptomatic endometriosis in the UAE. The PRECISION-E2 study is designed to combine clinical outcomes, hormonal biomarkers, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic measurements, and genomic analyses to better understand treatment response variability in women suffering from endometriosis.
On June 15, 2026, the Company announced its submission of Rare Pediatric Disease Designation ("RPDD") request to the FDA for SkinJect, the Company's investigational D-MNA patch, for the treatment of BCC in patients with Gorlin Syndrome, also known as Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome. The RPDD submission was made pursuant to Section 529 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and follows the Company's previously announced Orphan Drug Designation ("ODD") application (DRU-2026-11578), and Registrational study design (SKNJCT-005) which remains under FDA review. The design of the Company's Gorlin Syndrome development program has been informed through engagement with clinical experts and the Gorlin Syndrome Alliance, a patient advocacy group focused on the needs and priorities of this unique patient population.
On June 24, 2026, the Company participated in the 2026 Bio International Conference in San Diego, California, where Dr. Faisal Mehmud, Chief Medical Officer of Medicus, delivered a company presentation highlighting clinical, regulatory and strategic advancements across the Company's development portfolio. The presentation included, among other updates, the updated positive decision-grade dataset from the Phase 2 SKNJCT-003 study, which demonstrated a clear dose-response relationship and clinically meaningful complete response rates (55% histological clearance and 64% clinical clearance) in patients in the 200 ug cohort that were treated with SkinJect.
On July 16, 2026, the Company announced it received written feedback from the FDA and central Institutional Review Board approval, with modifications, for its optimized Phase 2 clinical study of Teverelix in men following a first episode of AUR. The Company submitted the optimized protocol to the FDA on April 2, 2026, under its existing IND application for Teverelix. The redesigned study is expected to enroll approximately 126 patients across the United States and Europe, compared with approximately 390 patients contemplated under the Company's previously disclosed development plan, and is intended to generate an early pharmacodynamic signal while supporting dose optimization, route selection and future clinical development.
On July 27, 2026, the Company announced that the FDA completed its safety review of the Company's IND application for SKNJCT-005 and issued a "Study May Proceed" letter authorizing the initiation of the Company's NDA-enabling registrational Phase 2b clinical study evaluating SkinJect 200 mcg in patients with Gorlin Syndrome presenting with multiple BCCs.
On July 31, 2026, the Company announced that the UAE DOH has granted IND authorization for the Company's PRECISION-E2 Phase 2a clinical study evaluating Teverelix in women with moderate-to-severe symptomatic endometriosis.
On August 3, 2026, the Company announced the appointment of Faisal Mehmud, MD, MRCP, as chief executive officer of Antev, effective August 30, 2026. Dr. Mehmud will continue to serve as Chief Medical Officer of Medicus and Co-Chairman of Antev.
Share Consolidation
On June 25, 2024, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation to provide for a share consolidation (the "Share Consolidation"), or reverse stock split, of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares at such a consolidation ratio to be determined by the Company's board of directors in its sole discretion, to permit the Company to satisfy all conditions and necessary regulatory approvals to list the common shares on a U.S. national securities exchange as the Company's board of directors may determine in its sole discretion. Our board of directors approved the Share Consolidation on October 15, 2024, and the Share Consolidation was completed by the Company on October 28, 2024, at the ratio of 1-for-2.
13
After the completion of the Share Consolidation, the number of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares decreased from 21,693,560 to 10,846,721. The par value of the Company's common shares remains unchanged at $0 per share after the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation was completed in preparation for a U.S. listing.
On June 3, 2026, at the Company's 2026 Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders, the Company's shareholders approved a special resolution authorizing the Board, in its discretion, to effect a consolidation of the Company's common shares on the basis of a consolidation ratio to be determined by the Board, up to a maximum ratio of 50 pre-consolidation common shares for every one post-consolidation Common Share, if the Board determines such a consolidation is necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, for the purpose of meeting any applicable stock exchange or regulatory requirements. As of the date hereof, the Board has neither effected such share consolidation nor announced an intention to do so.

General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $1,994,573 or 43.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $4,767,197 or 61.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in consulting fees, salaries and wages with increased headcount at board and management level and fees, expenses related to business development and investor relations and stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses primarily include professional fees, consulting fees, salaries, wages and benefits, general office, insurance, administration expenditures, costs related to business development and investor relations, public relations, market awareness, advocacy and stock-based compensation associated with maintaining investor relations, public relations, market awareness, advocacy, director and officer insurance and compliance with applicable securities law requirements. In addition, there are additional costs, recurring and non-recurring, associated with increased regulatory requirements following the Company's initial public offering, transition to U.S. domestic issuer status, multiple financing transactions and the Antev acquisition.
Research and development ("R&D")
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to research and develop our product candidates and are expensed as incurred. We do not track total R&D expense by program, therapeutic indication or product candidate, as our internal resources are shared across programs and our development priorities shift over time. We separately identify external costs that are directly attributable to the SkinJect and Teverelix programs, which primarily include costs related to clinical, manufacturing, and regulatory activities, as well as certain professional services and intellectual property costs. Internal personnel costs (salaries and benefits, including share-based compensation) are shared across programs, are not attributable to a single product candidate, and are presented as unallocated. Of the total research and development expense noted in the table below, the external, third-party costs that were directly attributable to our product candidates were as follows:

(1) Total research and development expense reconciles to the amount reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations for each period presented.
R&D expenses increased by $4,166,307 or 120.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase is primarily due to the development of Teverelix, offset with a reduction in costs relating to SkinJect as we come to the end of its Phase 2 trials. We expect our R&D expenses to increase going forward with the costs of two separate Phase 2 trials associated with Teverelix advancing.
The principal risks related to the Company's future performance are that the trials are unsuccessful, the Company does not receive FDA approval to proceed with the next stages of its multiple research and development tracks, or the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining future funding needed to continue its research and development tracks. These are customary risks for a development stage pharmaceutical Company and are less acute than for a Company with a less advanced product. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete its trials, that the trials will be successful, or that the product will ultimately reach commercialization.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was an expense of $205,638 and $650,872, respectively, compared to an expense of $159,996 and $136,130 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Other income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily related to interest expense of $205,638 and $523,789, respectively, a loss on SEPA settlements of $nil and $127,083, respectively. Other income (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted primarily of finance income of $40,004 and $63,870, respectively, more than offset by a $200,000 change in the fair value of debentures recognized in each period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a clinical stage development company, and we currently do not earn any revenues from our drug development programs and are therefore considered to be in the R&D stage. As required, the Company will continue to finance its operations through the sale of equity or pursue alternative funding sources available to the Company in the future. The continuation of our R&D activities is dependent on our ability to obtain financing.
The financial statements and this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (this "MD&A") have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
17
The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. In addition to the ATM, SEPA and Secured Promissory Notes (as defined herein), management believes that the Company has access to additional capital resources through public and/or private equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, it is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. Further, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company's shareholders. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These measures could cause significant delays or entirely prevent the Company's continued efforts to progress its research and development program, pursue product portfolio expansion or commercialize its current or future products, each of which is critical to the realization of the Company's business plan and its future operations. This uncertainty, along with the Company's history of losses, indicates that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements and this MD&A do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is subject to risks associated with any specialty biotechnology company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company's research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15,174,128 and restricted cash of $10,017,412 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $8,705,218 and restricted cash of $nil as of December 31, 2025.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
The Company entered into a standby equity purchase agreement dated February 10, 2025 (the "SEPA") with Yorkville, an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP. Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the option, at its sole discretion, to sell up to $15,000,000 of the Company's common shares to Yorkville at any time during the 36-months following the date of the SEPA.
Yorkville's obligation to purchase the common shares is subject to a number of conditions, including that the Company file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the common shares issuable thereunder, and that the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. Such current registration statement, as amended, was originally filed with the SEC on September 29, 2025 and declared effective by the SEC on November 14, 2025.
The issuance of common shares under the SEPA is subject to further limitations, including that the common shares beneficially owned by Yorkville and its affiliates at any one time will not exceed 4.99% of the then-outstanding common shares.
Common shares issued and sold to Yorkville under the SEPA will be priced at 97% of the market price (as defined in the SEPA) of the common shares during a specified three-day pricing period. The Company reserves the right to set a minimum acceptable price for the common share issuances.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company issued 5,336,780 common shares at market price of $4,229,823 for proceeds of $4,102,740.
