Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Increased Operating Expenses: Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased by $1.4 million compared to the same period in 2025. This was driven primarily by a $1.5 million increase in Research and Development (R&D) expenses.
• R&D Drivers: The increase in R&D expenses was attributed to higher manufacturing costs ($0.8 million increase), employee compensation ($0.7 million increase), and clinical trial expenses ($0.5 million increase) related to the development of NXP900.
• G&A Reduction: General and Administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million year-over-year, primarily due to a reduction in professional and consulting services.
• Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $9.5 million during the six-month period, reflecting the net cash used in operating activities of $11.0 million, partially offset by $1.6 million in financing proceeds from At-the-Market (ATM) offerings.

Guidance, Outlook, and Material Events

• Subsequent Public Offering: On July 1, 2026, the company completed a public offering of 5,000,000 shares at $20.00 per share. On July 29, 2026, underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares. The offering generated approximately $106.3 million in net proceeds.
• Liquidity Outlook: Management believes that existing cash ($22.2 million as of June 30) combined with the July 2026 offering proceeds will fund operations for at least 12 months following the report date.
• Strategic Licensing: On June 22, 2026, the company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Haisco Pharmaceutical Group for NXP100 (Factor B inhibitor) and NXP200 (BRAF inhibitor). The agreement became effective on July 1, 2026, contingent on the public offering. The company paid a $20.0 million upfront payment to Haisco in July 2026.
• Product Pipeline:
  • NXP100: Licensed from Haisco; approved in China for PNH; Phase 3 for IgAN and Phase 2 for LN ongoing in China.
  • NXP200: Licensed from Haisco; Phase 1b expansion study ongoing in China.
  • NXP900: Phase 1b studies ongoing; combination studies pending.
  • NXP800: Development in ovarian cancer ceased; feasibility for other indications being evaluated.
• Risks: The company faces significant risks related to clinical trial outcomes, regulatory approvals (particularly for products originating in China), reliance on third-party manufacturers, and the need for substantial additional capital to achieve profitability.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Verify the impact of the $20 million upfront payment to Haisco on the company's cash runway, despite the $106 million raise.
• Confirm the status of the technology transfer from Haisco for NXP100 and NXP200, as the company is substantially dependent on this partner for materials and know-how.
• Monitor the clinical trial enrollment and data readouts for NXP900, which drove the increase in R&D expenses.
• Assess the regulatory pathway for NXP100 and NXP200 in the U.S. and EU, given the risks associated with data originating in China and potential trade policy changes.
• Review the share count increase from ~26.7 million (June 30) to ~32.6 million (July 31) due to the public offering and its dilutive effect.
