Key Financial Metrics

Note: Per share data reflects retroactive adjustments for a 1-for-50 reverse stock split in October 2025 and a 1-for-22 reverse stock split in July 2026.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Liquidity Improvement: Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly from $1.35 million to $15.15 million, driven by net proceeds of approximately $15.6 million from the sale of common stock under the 2023 At-The-Market (ATM) Facility.
• Operating Expenses:
  • R&D Expenses: Increased 8% to $5.43 million (from $5.04 million) due to increased pre-clinical and research expenses for the diabetes program and biomarker research.
  • G&A Expenses: Decreased 2% to $3.55 million (from $3.61 million) due to continued expense reduction strategies.
• Net Loss: Increased slightly by 3% to $8.91 million, primarily offset by higher interest income ($69k vs $12k) and reduced share-based compensation.
• Capital Structure: The company completed a 1-for-22 reverse stock split on July 16, 2026, subsequent to the reporting period.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Clinical Progress:
  • Acclaim-1 (NSCLC): Enrolling in Phase 2a expansion. FDA Fast Track Designation granted. Biomarker research (TROP2/PTEN) suggests potential for patient selection; collaboration with Roche Diagnostics initiated for validation.
  • Acclaim-3 (SCLC): Enrolling in Phase 2 expansion. FDA Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designations granted. Interim analysis expected in H1 2027.
  • Diabetes (GPX-002): Preclinical studies ongoing. Met with FDA in Feb 2026 regarding IND-enabling studies. Plans to begin clinical scale production.
• Liquidity Outlook: Management estimates current cash resources will fund operations into the second half of 2027. However, the company expects to incur significant losses and will require additional financing to continue development.
• Going Concern: The filing states there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and the need for additional financing.
• Internal Controls: Management identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting related to a lack of segregation of duties and insufficient accounting personnel depth. Remediation plans are underway.
• Nasdaq Compliance: The company regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement following the reverse stock split but must maintain this price through December 7, 2026. There is also a risk regarding the Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) requirement if the market cap remains below $5 million.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the accuracy of the "second half of 2027" funding estimate given the high burn rate (~$8.3M per six months).
• Financing Strategy: Assess the remaining capacity under the 2023 ATM Facility and the 2025 Equity Line of Credit (ELOC) to fund future operations.
• Internal Controls: Monitor the progress of remediation efforts for the identified material weaknesses in financial reporting.
• Nasdaq Listing: Track the stock price to ensure it remains above $1.00 to avoid delisting risk before December 2026.
• Clinical Milestones: Watch for enrollment updates in Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-3 trials and the results of the biomarker validation studies with Roche Diagnostics.
