Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Overview Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company incorporated in the State of Delaware. Our primary focus is the clinical development of Apitox, a purified honeybee venom-based drug candidate being evaluated for the treatment of acute pain and inflammation associated with knee osteoarthritis. We operate our biopharmaceutical business through our wholly owned subsidiary, Lokahi Therapeutics Inc. (“Lokahi”). Through MindWave Innovations, the Company holds Bitcoin (“BTC”), Tether (“USDT”), and MindWaveDAO NILA tokens (“NILA”), and participates in the MindWaveDAO blockchain ecosystem through the continued sale of NILA. The Digital Asset segment’s performance is subject to the volatility inherent in cryptocurrency markets. A more detailed discussion of the Digital Asset segment, including the MindWave Merger and the Company’s related accounting policies, is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. 20 Our Product Candidate Our product candidate Apitox is a purified, pharmaceutical grade venom of the Apis mellifera, or honeybee, which is classified by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as an active pharmaceutical ingredient. Apimeds Korea has developed a proprietary method and process of turning extracted bee venom into a lyophilized powder for reconstitution prior to intradermal dose injections, which they sell in South Korea as Apitoxin. Apimeds Korea has exclusively licensed to us all rights to develop, commercialize, market and sell Apitoxin as “Apitox” in the United States in exchange for a sales royalty. The success of the Company is dependent on obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals of its product candidates, as well as the continued advancement of it’s Digital Asset segment, which includes the appreciation of its cryptocurrency holdings consisting of Bitcoin (“BTC”), Tether (“USDT”), and NILA tokens (“NILA”), and the advancement and continued sale of NILA on the MindWaveDAO blockchain. The continuation of the research and development activities and the commercialization of its products, if approved, are dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully complete these activities and to obtain additional financing through a combination of financing activities and operations. It is not possible to predict either the outcome of future research and development or cryptocurrency market sentiment or the advancement of the MindWaveDAO blockchain. Financial Results Since inception, Apimeds has incurred significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. net loss was $35,059,852, and $402,397, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2026, the Company had accumulated deficit amount of $45,452,914. The Company incurred net losses of $35,059,852 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and expects to continue to incur substantial losses in the future. On December 8, 2025, the Company completed a PIPE financing (the “PIPE”) with an aggregate maximum amount of $120,900,000 drawn in tranches at the Company’s discretion, given the market conditions allow. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has drawn a total amount of $10,900,000 from the PIPE (see note 6) wherein $8,000,000 in proceeds have been recorded as restricted cash. Based on cash that is available and cash that is predicted to become unrestricted for Company operations, together with continued Tether (“USDT”) proceeds from the digital assets segment, and projections of future Company operations, the Company believes that its cash will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating plan through at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed financial statements. Proceeds in the form of USDT have been included in evaluation of liquidity concerns given the fact that the Company uses these proceeds to satisfy select operating expenses that pertain directly to the maintenance and management of the Digital Asset segment. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 Operating Expense The following table sets forth the Company’s selected statements of operations data for the following periods: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change Operating expenses Research and development expenses $ 901,144 $ - $ 901,144 General and administrative expenses 11,284,550 364,368 10,920,182 Total operating expenses 12,185,694 364,368 11,821,326 Total other income (expense) (22,874,158 ) (38,029 ) (22,836,129 ) Net loss $ (35,059,852 ) $ (402,397 ) $ (34,657,455 ) 21 Revenues For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company had no revenue. General and Administrative Expenses For the three months ended March 31, 2026, included in General and administrative expense is $8,113,318 non-cash charge for stock issued to our financial advisor. This charge is not expected to be recur. Other income expense The $22,836,129 increase in other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025 was principally the result of $22,078,601 of unrealized losses on the Company digital asset holdings. The Company did not hold any digital assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Digital asset market volatility can be expected to be significant in future periods. Net Loss Net loss was $35,059,852 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net loss of $402,397 in the same period of 2025, representing an increase in loss of $34,657,455. The increase was mainly due to the loss on fair value of cryptocurrency holdings and stock compensation expenses (see Cash Flows). Cash Flows The following table presents selected financial information and statistics for each of the periods shown below: Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 2025 Change Net cash used in operating activities $ (2,067,727 ) $ (20,313 ) $ (2,047,414 ) Net cash provided by investing activities 490,606 - 490,606 Net cash provided by financing activities 920,000 267,200 652,800 Net increase (decrease) in cash $ (657,121 ) $ 246,887 $ (904,008 ) During the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating activities used approximately $2,067,727 of cash, differing drastically from a reported net loss of $35,059,852 due in large part to noncash additions of $22,061,472 of changes in fair value of cryptocurrency and stock compensation expenses of $8,113,318, respectively. Other material noncash additions include accretion expense of approximately $851,018, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximate increase of $1,839,261, due to the netting of an increase in prepaid research costs and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Comparatively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating activities used $20,313 of cash, primarily resulting from a net loss of $402,397, partially offset by non-cash interest expense-related parties of $11,256, accretion expense of $26,776, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $344,051. Investing activities During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, investing activities used approximately $490,606 and $0, respectively.

Financing activities During the three months ended March 31, 2026, financing activities provided approximately $920,000 of cash. This was primarily attributable to net proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, partially offset by issuance costs paid upon closing of the debt offering of $75,000. Comparatively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, financing activities provided $267,200 of cash resulting from $250,000 in proceeds from notes payable from related parties and cash advances from related parties of $17,200. Contractual Obligations and Commitments See Note 6 – Debt, and Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes to the Company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the Company’s commitments and contingencies. 22 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company is not party to any off-balance sheet transactions. The Company has no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations. Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based on its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. The most significant estimates relate to convertible instruments. Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experiences, and various other factors that Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company defines its critical accounting policies as those accounting principles that require it to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which the Company applies those principles. While its significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to its financial statements, the Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its unaudited condensed financial statements that require significant estimates and judgments. Convertible Instruments The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. Item 3.
