Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Profusa, Inc. filed a Form 12b-25 notification stating it cannot timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and expects to file no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

The company discloses preliminary results showing a net loss of $(31.9) million for 2025 versus $(9.2) million in 2024, attributing the increase principally to $21.9 million higher general and administrative expenses related to the business combination that closed on July 11, 2025, higher R&D costs, and other transaction and financing items. Management notes a 1-for-75 reverse stock split effected February 9, 2026 and says final results will appear in the delayed Form 10-K.

Insights

Delay tied to post‑merger accounting and transaction adjustments; losses rose materially in 2025.

The filing states the company expects to file its Form 10-K within the 15‑day cure period under Rule 12b-25. The explanatory narrative links the timing to additional work needed after the Business Combination that closed on July 11, 2025, which commonly requires complex accounting, valuation, and disclosure reconciliation.

Reported preliminary figures show a net loss of $(31.9) million for 2025 versus $(9.2) million in 2024, driven by a $21.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses and higher R&D spend. Subsequent filings should confirm finalized numbers and note any auditor commentary; timing is the key dependency.

Form 12b-25 regulatory
"notification stating it cannot timely file its Annual Report"
Form 12b-25 is a notice a publicly traded company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission when it cannot deliver a required periodic report (like a quarterly or annual financial report) on time. It explains the reason for the delay and gives the company a short, temporary window to finish the report without being marked as delinquent; investors watch it because late filings can signal accounting, operational, or control issues that may affect a company’s reliability and stock risk, much like a missed homework deadline can raise concerns about a student’s preparedness.
Business Combination financial
"business combination that closed on July 11, 2025"
A business combination happens when two or more companies join together to operate as one, like two friends merging their teams into a single group. This is important because it can change how companies grow, compete, and make money, often making them bigger and more powerful in the market.
reverse stock split market
"1-for-75 reverse stock split of the Registrant’s common stock on February 9, 2026"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

Yes No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Registrant anticipates significant changes in its results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the Registrant’s business combination that closed on July 11, 2025 (the “Business Combination”), and the related transactions. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Registrant recognized Net losses of $(31.9) million and $(9.2) million, respectively.

 

The increase in operating loss from fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2025 was a result of an increase in general and administrative expenses of $21.9 million primarily related to transaction costs associated with the Business Combination, an increase to R&D expenses of $1.2 million primarily related to the testing and development of the Lumee Oxygen product, and a decrease in other expenses of $0.5 million relating to an increase in gain on fair value adjustments of $1.7 million, and a reduction in interest expense of $1.9 million, offset by $2.6 million increase in financing costs, and $0.5 million increase in loss on the value of digital assets.

 

The change in operations resulted in a change to net loss per share, basic and diluted, from fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2025 of $(357.14) and $(95.37), respectively, which takes into account the 1-for-75 reverse stock split of the Registrant’s common stock on February 9, 2026.

 

These figures reflect management’s current estimates and are subject to change. Final results will be reflected in the Form 10-K to be filed.
