60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) posts Q1 2026 loss and flags going concern risk
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.21 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with $2.00 million a year earlier. Net product revenue was $162,092, essentially flat versus $163,552 in 2025, while prior-year research revenue of $92,731 did not recur.
Operating expenses rose slightly to $2.17 million, driven mainly by general and administrative costs of $1.89 million, with research and development at $281,464. Cash used in operating activities was $2.74 million, but the company boosted liquidity through at-the-market equity sales, ending the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $3.34 million.
Management discloses an accumulated deficit of $49.98 million and explicitly states that recurring losses, limited cash runway and funding needs raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Substantial going concern uncertainty: The company reports recurring losses, limited cash resources and explicitly states that these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
Insights
Q1 2026 shows flat revenue, rising losses and a material going concern warning.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals generated net product revenue of $162,092 in Q1 2026, essentially unchanged year over year, with no research revenue versus $92,731 previously. Operating expenses of $2.17 million kept the business firmly loss-making, leading to a net loss attributable to the company of $2.09 million.
The balance sheet remains small: total assets were $6.76 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $3.34 million. The company relies heavily on equity financing, raising about $3.37 million net in Q1 2026 via at-the-market offerings, and carries a modest SBA EIDL loan of roughly $152,000.
Management states that current cash, together with prior financings, is expected to keep the company viable only through mid‑September 2026 absent new capital, and auditors previously highlighted substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Future disclosures will clarify whether additional equity raises or partnering deals extend this runway and how that interacts with ongoing development of tafenoquine-based programs.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 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”). We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends impacting the financial condition of our business. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “might,” “forecast,” “continue,” or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions and comparable terminology intended to reference future periods. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | Our ability to effectively operate our business segment; |
| ● | Our ability to manage our research, development, expansion, growth and operating expenses; |
| ● | Our ability to evaluate and measure our business, prospects and performance metrics; |
| ● | Our ability to compete, directly and indirectly, and succeed in a highly competitive and evolving industry; |
| ● | Our ability to respond and adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior; and |
| ● | Our ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand. |
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Accordingly, the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements will occur or that our objectives and plans will be achieved, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.

60 DEGREES PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 1, 2022 and merged on the same day with 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a District of Columbia limited liability company organized on September 9, 2010 (“60P LLC”). 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary (referred to collectively as the “Company”, “60P”, or “60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that specializes in the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. 60P achieved FDA approval of its lead product, ARAKODA® (tafenoquine), for malaria prevention, in 2018. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development covers development programs for vector-borne diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (i) new products that contain the Arakoda regimen of tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain tafenoquine; and (iii) celgosivir and/or botanical extracts from Australian Chestnut Trees. The Company’s headquarters are located in Washington, D.C., with a majority-owned subsidiary in Australia.
Since the Company’s initial public offering in July 2023, its common stock has been listed and trades on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SXTP,” and tradeable warrants under the symbol “SXTPW.”
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the risks associated with developing product candidates and successfully launching and commercializing its drug/device combination products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of such products in the United States and other geography markets, the uncertainty of the broad adoption of its approved products by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.
In addition, higher rates of inflation have resulted in the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may further increase economic uncertainty and heighten these risks. Furthermore, if additional banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, the Company or its partners’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including the Company’s ability to access additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy.
Going Concern
The Company’s future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Since its inception, the Company has not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating expenses and has accumulated losses to date. At March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $
To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.
Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from the Company’s single marketed product. To achieve profitability, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to fund its activities relating to commercial support for its existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that it will ever achieve or maintain profitability. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to fund its operations during the look‑forward period. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these consolidated condensed financial statements are issued.
6
Management plans to fund operations of the Company through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent offering until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the Company’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If the Company raises funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to the Company and/or may reduce the value of its common stock. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market its product candidates even if the Company would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates itself.
Management has evaluated these conditions and its plans to mitigate them and concluded that, collectively, such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date these consolidated condensed financial statements are issued.
The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of 60P and its subsidiary are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 due to various factors. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). Certain information, footnote disclosures, and significant accounting policies that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Annual Report have been omitted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material. Significant estimates include the reserve for inventory, the fair value of derivative liabilities, and stock-based compensation.

Reverse Stock Splits
Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s equity awards, warrants, and other equity instruments convertible into common stock, as well as the respective exercise prices, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the instruments. Unless otherwise noted, all references to numbers of shares of the Company’s common stock and per share information presented in these consolidated condensed financial statements have been retroactively adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Splits, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventory purchases, and borrowings.
Significant customers represent any customer whose business makes up
Currently, the Company has exclusive relationships with distributors in Australia and Europe. A failure to perform by any of our current distributors would create disruption for patients in those markets.
Since the Company first started working on tafenoquine, all inventory has been acquired in a collaborative relationship from a sole vendor. Should the vendor cease to supply tafenoquine, it would take significant costs and efforts to rebuild the supply chain with a new sole vendor sourcing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”).
Segment Information
Since its inception, the Company operates and manages its business as a single identifiable segment, focused on the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net income or loss for purposes of evaluating performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The significant components of consolidated net income or loss regularly provided to the CODM include net product revenues and the significant expense categories presented in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss (cost of revenues, research and development, and general and administrative expenses). These are presented at the consolidated level and used by the CODM to monitor budgeted versus actual results to make key operating decisions. The information and operating expense categories presented in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss are fully reflective of the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM.

The measure of segment assets that is regularly reported to the CODM includes cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, each as reported on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $
Derivative Liabilities
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative financial instruments is reassessed each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations, as a component of other income or expense as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, derivative liabilities consist of contingent payment arrangements. The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt or equity instrument in exchange for equity shares, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the equity shares at fair value on the date of conversion, relieves all related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if any.
Equity or liability instruments that become subject to reclassification under ASC 815 are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Equity-Classified Warrants
As of March 31, 2026, the Company accounts for all outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as equity-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. This assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the respective issuance dates and as of each subsequent reporting period while the warrants are outstanding.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company may be required to make significant judgments, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which may include estimates of variable consideration that result from product returns. The Company determines the amount of variable consideration by using either the expected value method or the most-likely-amount method. The Company includes the unconstrained amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price, which reflects the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts the Company expects to be earned or to be claimed on the related sales.

The Company receives the majority of its revenues from sales of its Arakoda product to resellers in the US and abroad. The Company records US commercial revenues as a receivable when our American distributor transfers shipped product to their title model for 60P. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are recognized as a receivable at the point product is shipped to the distributor. Historically, the shipments to Australia and Europe were further subject to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers.
In addition to revenue from product sales, in 2025, the Company recognized research revenues associated with its contract with the United States Army Medical Material Development Activity (USAMMDA) for Arakoda supply chain upgrade support. Research revenue under this contract was recognized when the direct costs eligible for reimbursement are incurred, up to the maximum allowable amount. Our USAMMDA-funded activities were completed during the year ended December 31, 2025. Other research revenues consist of sales of clinical trial supplies, which are recognized at a point in time, and research rebates earned from the Australian Tax Authority, which are recognized over time as qualifying research activities in Australia are performed.
Research and Development Costs
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Prepayments for research and development services are deferred and amortized over the service period as the services are provided. Advance payments for specific materials, equipment, or facilities determined to have no alternative future use are initially deferred and recognized as research and development expense when the related goods are delivered.
The Company recorded $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses) approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.
The inputs used to measure fair value are based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used in valuation techniques. These levels, in order of highest to lowest priority, are described below:
Level 1 | - | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 | - | Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data. |
|
|
|
Level 3 | - | Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. |
The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025 include the derivative liability associated with the contingent milestone payment due to Knight upon a future sale of Arakoda or a Change of Control, which is carried at fair value based on Level 3 inputs. The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of the contingent milestone payment using significant inputs such as the timing and probability of discrete potential exit scenarios, forward interest rate curves, and discount rates based on implied and market yields. See Note 8 for more information on Derivative Liabilities.

A rollforward of liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is presented in Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company’s non-financial assets, including Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
Certificates of deposit, classified as cash equivalents or short-term investments depending on the instrument’s original time to maturity, are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The individual financial statements of each group entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated condensed financial statements.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated condensed financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are mostly translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized foreign currency translation gain (loss).

Reclassifications

Share-Based Payments
On November 22, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan also referred to as (“2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan and related share-based awards are discussed more fully in Note 10.
The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company measures compensation for all share-based payment awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. For awards that vest based on continued service, the service-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms of the share-based awards is established. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions, including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of the option. Due to the lack of a public market for the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific historical implied volatility data, the Company has based its computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of public companies with similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. The Company generally uses the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term for stock options, whereby, the expected term equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual term of the options due to its lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, the Company’s best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be
Compensation expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded.
For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is achieved, at which time the cumulative compensation expense is recognized. Compensation cost related to any remaining time-based service for share-based awards after the liquidity-based event is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.
For fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are granted at the date the Company and a nonemployee enter into an agreement for goods or services, the Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date. The corresponding cost is recognized as an immediate expense or a prepaid asset and expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee. See Note 10 for further details.

Net Loss per Common Share
Net Loss per Common Share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The Company includes pre-funded warrants, which carry a nominal exercise price per share, in its computation of basic and diluted net loss per share beginning on the date of issuance. The cumulative dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock during the period are reflected as an addition to net loss or a reduction of net income in determining basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders.
As the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share. Potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, RSUs, warrants and shares of Series A Preferred Stock on an as‑converted basis, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share for all periods presented because their effect would have been antidilutive.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Splits, which were effective as of February 24, 2025 at a ratio of
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Subsequent Events
The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through May 15, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were issued. See Note 12.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. The Company regularly evaluates new ASUs to determine the impact that these pronouncements may have on the consolidated condensed financial statements. Other than the pronouncements listed below, the Company believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, or (iii) are not applicable to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements or related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which applies to all public business entities that file financial statements with the SEC. The amendments in this ASU require public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. The ASU is effective for all entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on its financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASU 2025-07”). ASU 2025-07 adds a new scope exception from derivative accounting under ASC 815 for certain non-exchange-traded contracts with customers with an underlying that is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Further, ASU 2025-07 clarifies that an entity should apply the guidance in ASC 606 to a contract with stock-based noncash consideration. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-07 will have on its financial statements.

8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value at the commitment date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations included within other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss as the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, derivative liabilities consist of the contingent milestone payment due to Knight Therapeutics, Inc. (“Knight”), a former lender of the Company, as required by the Debt Conversion Agreement executed between the Company and Knight on January 9, 2023, as subsequently amended (the “Knight Debt Conversion Agreement”). Key points of this agreement were as follows:
| ● | The Parties agreed to fix Knight’s cumulative debt to the value as it stood on March 31, 2022, which consisted of principal and accumulated interest. As a result of the completion of the IPO, the cumulative outstanding principal as of March 31, 2022 converted to |
| ● | The Parties agreed that the Company will make a milestone payment of $ |
| ● | For the period ending upon the earlier of (i) 10 years after the closing of the IPO, or (ii) the conversion or redemption in full of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will pay to Knight a royalty equal to |
Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company concluded that the contingent milestone payment is a freestanding financial instrument that meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, and accordingly, the fair value of the derivative liability is marked to market each reporting period until settled. The Royalty due to Knight was determined to be an embedded component of the Series A Preferred Stock, however, is exempt from derivative accounting under the ASC 815 scope exception for specified volumes of sales or service revenues. Therefore, the Company accrues a royalty expense as sales are made.
The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of the contingent milestone payment. The valuation model uses significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), incorporating management’s assumptions regarding the timing and probability of discrete potential exit scenarios, forward interest rate curves, and a weighted average cost of capital based on implied and market yields to discount expected cash flows.
The valuation of the contingent milestone payment requires significant judgment and is sensitive to changes in assumptions related to the expected timing of payment, the likelihood of potential exit scenarios, and the selected discount rate. In developing these assumptions, management considers various qualitative and quantitative factors, including the anticipated progression toward clinical, commercial, and profitability milestones and the potential for a strategic transaction following achievement of each milestone. These factors are evaluated collectively to assess the probability‑weighted timing of the contingent payment under each potential exit scenario reflected in the valuation. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the discount rates applied in the valuation were
Changes in any of the assumptions used in the valuation could result in a materially different fair value measurement and, as a result, could lead to materially different gains or losses recognized consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss upon recurring remeasurement.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

Share-Based Payments to Vendors for Services
In 2023, the Company issued shares of common stock as share-based payments to certain vendors in exchange for services to be rendered to the Company in the future. For fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are granted at the date the Company and a nonemployee enter into an agreement for goods or services, the Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments as a prepaid asset on the grant date, as defined in ASC 718. The corresponding cost is expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining unamortized balance of prepaid assets related to these share-based payments for which the grant date criteria has been met is $
The agreements with the nonemployees do not include any provisions to claw back the share-based payments in the event of nonperformance by the nonemployees. Subject to applicable federal and state securities laws, the nonemployees can sell the received equity instruments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the other information set forth in certain of our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026. In addition to historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the SEC.
Overview
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company with a goal of using cutting-edge biological science and applied research to further develop and commercialize new therapies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. We have successfully achieved regulatory approval of Arakoda® (“Arakoda”), a malaria preventative treatment that has been on the market since late 2019. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development covers development programs for vector-borne diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (I) new products that contain the Arakoda regimen of Tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain Tafenoquine; and (iii) Australian Chestnut Extract and/or Celgosivir.
Business Developments
The following highlights significant business developments in our business during the quarter ended March 31, 2026:
| ● | On January 22, 2026, we announced our partnership with Runway Health, a direct-to-patient telehealth platform, to expand pre-departure access to Arakoda for prevention of malaria among international travelers through the Runway Health travel medicine platform. The partnership with Runway Health commenced on April 15, 2026. |
| ● | On January 26, 2026, we exercised an option under our agreement with Florida State University (“FSU”), at no cost, to negotiate an exclusive license to use large-scale purification techniques to extract castanospermine from the seeds of Castanospermum australe (commonly known as the Australian Chestnut, the Moreton Bay Chestnut, and the Black Bean Tree). The full license agreement is being negotiated. |
| ● | On February 2, 2026, we commenced our partnership with GoodRx, the leading platform for prescription savings in the U.S., to offer eligible patients savings of up to 30% on Arakoda. |
| ● | On March 11, 2026, we announced that all three enrolled patients were cured of babesiosis after completing the tafenoquine regimen in the Company’s trial of relapsing babesiosis in immunosuppressed patients. |
| ● | On March 11, 2026, we submitted a New Dietary Ingredient Notification (NDIN) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Australian Chestnut Extract. The FDA has until May 25, 2026, to object to the notification, after which the Company will be free to market our planned dietary supplement containing Australian Chestnut Extract. |
2025 ATM Agreement
On September 5, 2025, we entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement (the “2025 ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) pursuant to which we were permitted to offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $1,397,532 (the “2025 ATM Offering”). As compensation for acting as the sales agent for the 2025 ATM Offering, Wainwright was entitled to a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of shares in the 2025 ATM Offering.
The common stock sold under the 2025 ATM Agreement was issued and sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and accompanying base prospectus (Registration Statement No. 333-280796), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 18, 2024, and a prospectus supplement dated September 5, 2025, relating to the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the 2025 ATM Agreement.
Pursuant to the 2025 ATM Agreement, between January 1, 2026 and January 22, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 418,602 shares at a weighted average price per share of $2.07, generating net proceeds of $834,705, after deducting commissions and certain other offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the 2025 ATM Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, commercialization support for Arakoda, and funding our babesiosis clinical development programs.
24
2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement
On March 2, 2026, we filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5), updating the amount we were permitted to offer and sell under the 2025 ATM Agreement to allow for additional gross sales proceeds of $1,308,000 (the “2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement”). The 2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement was subsequently amended on March 11, 2026 and March 13, 2026, to increase the maximum aggregate offering price by $981,000 and $565,000, respectively (the “2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement Amendment,” and together with the 2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement the “2026 ATM Offering”).
As compensation for acting as the sales agent for the 2026 ATM Offering, Wainwright was entitled to a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares in the 2026 ATM Offering.
The common stock sold pursuant to the 2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement was issued and sold pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and accompanying base prospectus (Registration Statement No. 333-280796), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 18, 2024, the prospectus supplement dated September 5, 2025, and the 2026 ATM Prospectus Supplement relating to the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the 2025 ATM Agreement.
Between March 2, 2026 and March 25, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 1,055,106 shares at a weighted average price per share of $2.49 generating net proceeds of $2,535,047, after deducting commissions and certain other offering expenses. We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the 2026 ATM Offering for similar general corporate purposes, including supporting our sales and marketing initiatives and ongoing clinical and preclinical research.
Due to the decline in our stock price, as of March 31, 2026, we did not have available capacity to sell additional shares under the 2025 ATM Agreement and related prospectus supplements based on the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which restricts the aggregate market value of securities we may sell during any 12-month period to one-third of our public float. Our ability to resume sales under the 2025 ATM Agreement and related prospectus supplements will depend on future increases in our stock price or the passage of time such that prior sales are no longer counted within the trailing 12-month measurement period.
Reverse Stock Split and Nasdaq Delisting Notice
On January 20, 2026, we received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that Nasdaq staff had determined to delist our common stock and warrants from The Nasdaq Capital Market because our common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Upon receipt of the notice, we paid $20,000 for the hearing fee and requested an appeal with Nasdaq, pursuant to the notice, which stayed the suspension of trading and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision.
At the 2025 Annual Stockholders Meeting in October 2025, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a range of ratios between 1:3 to 1:10, and on December 17, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the implementation of the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1:4 (the “1:4 Reverse Stock Split”). Beginning January 20, 2026, our common stock traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split adjusted basis.
Following the implementation of the 1:4 Reverse Stock Split, on February 11, 2026, we were notified by Nasdaq that we regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and were therefore in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements. As a result, the hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel scheduled for February 19, 2026 was cancelled and the matter was closed. Our common stock and warrants will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The 1:4 Reverse Stock Split did not change the authorized number of shares of common stock or preferred stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of our equity awards, warrants, and other equity instruments convertible into common stock, as well as the respective exercise prices, if applicable in accordance with the terms of the instruments. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the 1:4 Reverse Stock Split and all fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share with respect to outstanding shares of common stock.
Unless otherwise noted, all references to numbers of shares of our common stock and per share information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated, as appropriate, to reflect the effects of the 1:4 Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,337,760 ($1,510,065 as of December 31, 2025). For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our net cash used in operating activities was $2,741,559 and $1,597,366, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, and proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and promissory notes. Based on current internal projections, taking into consideration the net proceeds of approximately $4.3 million received from the July 2025 public offering and approximately $3.8 million in net proceeds received through the 2025 ATM Agreement and related prospectus supplements between October 2025 and March 2026, and excluding licensing and supply chain costs contingent on possible non-objection by FDA to our New Dietary Notification for Australian Chestnut Extract, we estimate that we will have sufficient funds to remain viable through mid-September, 2026, assuming no additional capital raises. However, based on our cash forecasts and planned operating expenditures, we do not currently have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operating plan for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans to address these conditions, which include additional equity financings and potential business development transactions, are not currently sufficient to alleviate this substantial doubt. We cannot give assurance that we can increase our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
In their audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our auditors have expressed their concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain financing. The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included an explanatory note referring to our recurring operating losses and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Since our inception, we have not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating expenses and we have accumulated losses to date. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.
Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from our single marketed product. To achieve profitability, we expect we will need to raise additional capital to fund our activities relating to commercial support for our existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or maintain profitability. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to fund our operations during the look-forward period. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
We plan to fund our operations through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent offering until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to us. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.
We have evaluated these conditions and our plans to mitigate them and concluded that, collectively, such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date these consolidated condensed financial statements are issued.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Amounts related to contingent milestone payments are not considered contractual obligations as they are contingent on the achievement of certain milestones. These contingent milestones may or may not be achieved. We have not included any of these amounts in the table above as we cannot estimate or predict when, or if, these amounts will become due.
Components of Results of Operations
Product Revenues - net of Discounts and Rebates
We receive the majority of our product revenues from sales of our Arakoda product to resellers in the U.S. and abroad. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are further subject to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers. Sales to resellers in the US are subject to considerable discounts and rebates for services provided by our third-party logistics (“3PL”) partner and wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”). We recognize revenue when control of Arakoda transfers to our U.S. distributor or 3PL partner, which generally occurs upon shipment. We record product revenue net of estimated discounts, rebates, chargebacks and product returns in accordance with ASC 606. We estimate these forms of variable consideration using the expected value method and constrain estimates to amounts for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur when the related uncertainties are resolved.
Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues associated with our products is primarily comprised of direct materials, shipping, manufacturing-related costs incurred in the production process, serialization costs, and inventory write-downs due to expiration.
Other Operating Revenues
Other operating revenues for the periods presented include research revenue earned from the Australian Tax Authority for research activities conducted in Australia. In 2025, other operating revenues also included research revenues associated with our contract with the United States Army Medical Material Development Activity (USAMMDA) for Arakoda supply chain upgrade support. We recognized research revenue related to the USAMMDA contract over time as qualifying costs were incurred, up to the maximum contractual funding amount. All funded activities under this contract were completed and fully reimbursed by December 31, 2025, and no additional amounts are expected to be earned under the arrangement.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development costs for the periods presented primarily consist of contracted research and development services and costs associated with preparation for and conducting our Babesiosis trial. We expense all research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are recognized as prepaid assets and expensed over the service period as the services are provided. We have also issued shares of our common stock to vendors in exchange for research and development services.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, advertising and promotion expenses, professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, accounting and legal fees, general corporate costs and allocated costs, including facilities, information technology and amortization of intangibles.
Interest and Other Income, Net
We earn interest income from cash invested in interest-bearing accounts, as well as cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting of certificates of deposits with original maturities ranging from three to six months. Interest expense for the periods presented is limited to a single $150,000 SBA loan that bears interest at 3.75%. Other components of other income include changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities and other miscellaneous income or expenses.

Product Revenues - net of Discounts and Rebates
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, product revenues – net of discounts and rebates were $162,092, compared to $163,552 for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1,460, or 0.89%. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our U.S. pharmaceutical distributor accounted for 90% of total net product sales of Arakoda (compared to 85% in the prior-year period), Infuserve America accounted for 0% (compared to 6%), and Kodatef sales to our Australian distributor accounted for 10% (compared to 9% in the prior-year period). Total net product revenues experienced a slight decline, primarily due to returns associated with expiring product lots during the period.
We offer discounts and rebates to the civilian U.S. supply chain distribution channel. Discounts and rebates offered to our 3PL partner amount to 12% (lower rates available upon reaching larger revenue tiers) along with a $5,500 fixed monthly fee. The product is then transferred usually to one of the three large U.S. pharmaceutical distributors where rebates are 10%. Additionally, in the current quarter, we implemented a new partnership with GoodRx where patients can acquire a discount on their purchase. Lastly, we have relationships with several large pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) that allow patients to purchase Arakoda at a discount. The rebate associated with PBMs ranges from 30% to 41.25% depending on the amount of coverage provided. We estimate these forms of variable consideration using the expected value method and constrain estimates to amounts for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur when the related uncertainties are resolved. Total discounts and rebates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $96,857, an increase of $5,456, or 6%, from $91,401 in the prior-year period.
Arakoda entered the U.S. civilian supply chain in the third quarter of 2019. Since the introduction of the new 8-ct bottle in June 2025, we will be reporting Arakoda unit sales in terms of 16-ct box equivalents. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the equivalent of 1,276 16-ct boxes were sold to pharmacies and dispensaries. Sales volume decreased by 19% from 1,579 16-ct box equivalents sold to pharmacies and dispensaries for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Kodatef sales to our distributor Biocelect in Australia for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $15,470 ($12,066 for the three months ended March 31, 2025). A historical portion of sales to Biocelect remained subject to a profit share distribution once the original transfer price has been recouped. Biocelect, which acts as a distributor in the Australian and New Zealand markets, reported an 8% quarter-over-quarter decrease, with 354 boxes sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 386 boxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, Biocelect has no inventory left that remains subject to profit share. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, Biocelect began to purchase from the latest manufactured lot of Kodatef at $49.50 AUD per box which are not subject to historical profit share. As of March 31, 2026, no receivables were due to us (none as of December 31, 2025).
Arakoda sales volume in Europe continues to grow. We first shipped Arakoda to our distributor Scandinavian Biopharma (“SB”) in September 2022. SB reported 77 boxes sold during the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing a 5% increase from the 73 boxes sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues was $85,715 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $73,272 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in total cost of revenues was primarily driven by higher quarterly storage costs with our U.S.-based packager. On a per-unit basis, however, cost of revenues declined due to the introduction of the bottle format, which has reduced packaging costs. As a result of these factors, gross margin % decreased to 47.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 55.20% in the prior-year period. Thus, our gross profit declined by $13,903 to $76,377 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $90,280 in the prior-year period. Inventory write‑downs for expired product were not a primary driver of the gross margin decline period over period.

| (100.00) | % |
The research revenues earned by us were none for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $92,731 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in research revenues is due to the USAMMDA contract we were awarded in July 2024 to facilitate commercial validation of a new bottle and replacement blister packaging of Arakoda, which was fully utilized by the end of 2025. We recognized research revenues of $77,966 related to the USAMMDA grant for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Research revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 also included $5,138 earned from the Australian Tax Authority for qualifying research activities conducted in Australia. We recognized research revenue related to the USAMMDA contract over time as qualifying costs were incurred, up to the maximum contractual funding amount. All funded activities under this contract were completed and fully reimbursed by December 31, 2025, and no additional amounts are expected to be earned under the arrangement.

Research and Development
Research and development costs decreased by $89,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was partially driven by $63,015 of packaging validation costs recognized in the prior-year period, with no comparable costs in the current period following the completion of the USAMMDA-funded activities. Otherwise, research and development costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 primarily consisted of costs related to our babesiosis trials for tafenoquine. Direct trial-related costs represent 68% of the total research and development costs at $191,391 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 74% of the costs at $275,633 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our general and administrative expenses increased by approximately 9.68% or $166,738 from the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by: (1) higher sales, advertising, and promotion expenses ($521,178 vs. $285,287), and (2) higher audit, legal, and professional fees ($248,152 vs. $220,793). These increases were partially offset by lower investor outreach expenses ($197,232 vs. $393,687) and reduced stock-based compensation ($79,524 vs. $142,645). The decrease in stock-based compensation expense is attributable to two partially vested option grants awarded to executives in January 2025.

Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $1,389 of interest expense ($1,790 for the three months ended March 31, 2025). Our interest expense for the periods presented primarily relates to our single outstanding loan from the SBA. Cash paid for interest expense was $2,193 and $2,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a net (loss) gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $(4,567) compared to $5,105 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the periods presented, derivative liabilities include the contingent milestone payment due to Knight upon a future sale of Arakoda or a Change of Control. We use a probability-weighted expected return method to estimate the fair value of this derivative liability. This method requires significant judgment and is sensitive to changes in assumptions related to the expected timing of payment, the likelihood of potential exit scenarios, and the selected discount rate. The gains and losses recognized during the periods presented are non‑cash in nature and do not impact our liquidity or cash flows.
Other Income, net
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $10,762 in other income compared to $30,322 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized interest income from cash invested in interest-bearing accounts and investments in certificates of deposit of $11,210 ($31,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2025).

Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,741,559 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,597,366 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our net cash used in operating activities increased primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses at $1,889,874 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 ($1,723,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2025), as a result of higher sales, advertising and promotion costs and audit, legal and professional fees, as discussed above. In addition, cash outflows increased due to higher levels of vendor prepayments primarily due to initiating new API production at Piramal during the three months ended March 31, 2026 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,193,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,702,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we received proceeds of $1,235,000 from maturities of certain short-term investments in certificates of deposit ($1,708,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025). The cash proceeds are partially offset by fixed asset purchases of $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 ($2,678 for the three months ended March 31, 2025). Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid cash of $11,440 for capitalized website development costs associated with enhancements to the functionality of our corporate website. We did not have any cash outflows for capitalized website development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,369,752 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,696,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is attributable to higher net proceeds from the sale of common stock under our At-the-Market (ATM) Sales Agreement between January and March 2026, which exceeded the aggregate net proceeds of $1,712,973 received from our common stock and warrant offerings completed in January and February 2025.
The increase was partially offset by lower proceeds from warrant exercises, which were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,926 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we withheld shares valued at $18,000 to cover tax withholdings associated with the net share settlement of certain 2024 performance bonuses awarded to our executives. No such share withholding or net share settlement activity occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Effect of Foreign Currency Translation on Cash
Our foreign operations were small relative to U.S. operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, thus effects of foreign currency translation have been minor.
Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments, and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, we may be required to make significant judgments, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.
32
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which may include estimates of variable consideration that result from product returns. We determine the amount of variable consideration by using either the expected value method or the most-likely-amount method. We include the unconstrained amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price, which reflects the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts we expect to be earned or to be claimed on the related sales.
We record U.S. commercial revenues as a receivable when our American distributor transfers shipped product to their title model for 60P. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are recognized as a receivable at the point product is shipped to distributor. The shipments to Australia and Europe were further subject to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers.
Inventory
We report inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is comprised of direct materials and, where applicable, costs we incur in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. We use the Specific Identification method per lot. A box or a bottle price is calculated per lot number and sales are recognized by their lot number.
We regularly monitor our inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value, and record write-downs for inventory that has expired, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected sales requirements. We charge any write-downs of inventories to Cost of Revenues in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Share-Based Payments
We account for share-based payments in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). We measure compensation for all share-based payment awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. For awards that vest based on continued service, the service-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms of the share-based awards is established. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
We estimate the fair value of all stock option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions, including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of the option. Due to the lack of a public market for our common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific historical implied volatility data, we base our computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of public companies with similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. We generally use the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term for stock options, whereby, the expected term equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual term of the options due to our lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, our best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have never paid dividends and have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of significant judgment.
We recognize compensation expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded.
For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is achieved, at which time the cumulative compensation expense is recognized. Compensation cost related to any remaining time-based service for share-based awards after the liquidity-based event is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.
33
For fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are granted at the date we enter into an agreement for goods or services with a nonemployee, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date. The corresponding cost is recognized as an immediate expense or a prepaid asset and expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee.
Derivative Liabilities
We assess the classification of our derivative financial instruments each reporting period, and determined that such instruments initially qualified for treatment as derivative liabilities as they met the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815. As of March 31, 2026, our derivative liabilities consist of contingent payment arrangements.
We analyze all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations, as a component of other income or expense as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. We use a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt or equity instrument in exchange for equity shares, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), we record the equity shares at fair value on the date of conversion, relieve all related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts, and recognize a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if any.
Equity or liability instruments that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During 2026 and 2025, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. We regularly evaluate new ASUs to determine the impact that these pronouncements may have on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Other than the pronouncements listed below, management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, or (iii) are not applicable to our consolidated condensed financial statements or related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which applies to all public business entities that file financial statements with the SEC. The amendments in this ASU require public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. The ASU is effective for all entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASU 2025-07”). ASU 2025-07 adds a new scope exception from derivative accounting under ASC 815 for certain non-exchange-traded contracts with customers with an underlying that is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Further, ASU 2025-07 clarifies that an entity should apply the guidance in ASC 606 to a contract with stock-based noncash consideration. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-07 will have on our financial statements.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, due to the existence of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. 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 of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2026, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses are described below:
| (1) | Inadequate Design of Policies and Procedures: We did not design policies and procedures at a sufficient level of precision to support the operating effectiveness of controls to prevent and detect potential errors. |
| (2) | Lack of Documentation: There was a failure to maintain adequate documentation to evidence the operating effectiveness of certain control activities and a lack of proper levels of supervision and review of complex accounting matters. |
| (3) | Access Control and Segregation of Duties: Inadequate controls in place related to maintaining appropriate access to certain systems and maintaining appropriate segregation of duties within those systems. |
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred 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, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities. There were no reportable litigation events during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this item. In any event, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Registration Statement.
If we fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including the minimum bid price rule, our common stock could be delisted, which would adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our shares.
In January 2026, we effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards in the future. A Delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market would likely result in decreased liquidity for our stockholders. This could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
