9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is
also based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the reporting period covered in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of
published financial statements.
A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within our Company have been
detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design
safeguards into the process to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Management
conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the framework and criteria
established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on the assessment, and the noted remediation of the previously identified material weaknesses, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
44
Remediation
of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
As
previously disclosed, management identified material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2023
which continued to be unremediated as of December 31, 2024. Specifically, Management noted the Company did not properly document, implement
or operate a system of effective internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As
of December 31, 2025, management implemented the following improvements to its internal controls over financial reporting. Namely, the
Company:
● transitioned
its day-to-day accounting processes to an external firm including automating its vendor payments;
● completed
the transfer of the overall accounting process to an enterprise type accounting platform;
● reviewed
the design and effectiveness of our controls including the creation of an annual risk assessment
and ongoing monitoring activities; and
● evaluated
all internal and external resources to ensure they are appropriate for the level and complexity
of our current operations, including the hiring of a Corporate Controller in 2024.
Management
has evaluated these improvements and remediation efforts and believes its internal controls over financial reporting are now operating
effectively, and consequently, determined that the material weaknesses have been remediated.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other
than the changes noted above related to the remediation of material weaknesses, there has been no change in our internal controls over
financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Insider
Trading Plans
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted , modified or terminated any contract, instruction
or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule
10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”. As previously discussed, in June 2023 , Vininder Singh , the Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of the Company , entered into a 10b5-1 sales plan (the “10b-5 Sales Plan”) intended to satisfy
the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The 10b5 Sales Plan provides for the sale of up to 1,000,000 shares
of common stock and will remain in effect until the earlier of (1) August 31, 2025; or (2) the date on which an aggregate of 1,000,000
shares of common stock have been sold under the 10b5 Sales Plan. Pursuant to the 10b5 Sales Plan, 50,000 shares were sold under the plan
in September 2023, 100,000 shares were sold under the plan in the first quarter of 2024, and 50,000 shares were sold under the plan in
each of the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2024, and in each of the first, second, and third quarters of 2025. The 10b5 Sales
Plan expired in accordance with its terms on August 31, 2025.

Clawback
Policy
The
Board adopted the BullFrog AI Compensation Recoupment Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), effective in December 2023,
providing for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company in the
event the Company is required to restate any of its financial statements filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act in order to
correct an error that is material to the previously-issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if
the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Adoption of the Clawback Policy was
mandated by new Nasdaq listing standards introduced pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. The Clawback Policy is in addition to
Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which permits the SEC to order the disgorgement of bonuses and incentive-based
compensation earned by a registrant issuer’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer in the year following the
filing of any financial statement that the issuer is required to restate because of misconduct, and the reimbursement of those funds
to the issuer. A copy of the Clawback Policy is attached as an exhibit to this annual report and can be found at

Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
General .
In November 2022, our Board of Directors adopted our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) and the 2022 Plan was submitted
to our stockholders for approval. Our 2022 Plan became effective immediately on adoption. Our 2022 Plan replaces our previous incentive
plan. However, awards outstanding under our previous incentive plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms.
Share
Reserve . The number of shares of our common stock originally available for issuance under our 2022 Plan was 900,000 shares. Notwithstanding
the number of shares available for issuance, on the first day of each year commencing January 1, 2023, or the first business day of the
calendar year if the first day of the calendar year falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the number of shares eligible for awards under the
2022 Plan will automatically increase to an amount equal to 15% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December
31 st of the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2026, there were 1,237,732 shares available for issuance
under the 2022 Plan.
The
following table shows, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s equity compensation plans under which the Company’s equity
securities are authorized for issuance:

Policies
and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
We
grant equity awards to our executives, including stock options, as part of their total compensation. In 2025, we did not grant stock
options on any date that, in relation to our disclosure of material nonpublic information, would require us to provide the tabular disclosures
of Item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, we have no specific policy or practice on the timing of awards of such options in relation
to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by us. In the event that we determine to grant new awards of such options, the Compensation
Committee will evaluate the appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing. Our insider trading policy also provides guidelines
around the repurchases of our securities, which would generally only made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established when we
are not in possession of material nonpublic information.
ITEM
13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Other
than with respect to compensation arrangements, including employment and indemnification arrangements discussed in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K, there have been no transactions since January 1, 2024, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or will
exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets as at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years,
and to which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family
member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
In
October 2022, we entered into an exchange agreement with an investor whereby all 734,493 shares of his common stock were exchanged into
73,449 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that converts to common stock at a rate of 10 shares of common stock for one share
of preferred stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is the economic equivalent of the common stock but has no voting rights and is subject
to a blocker which prohibits the conversion into common stock if it would result in the investor owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s
outstanding common stock at such time.
Policies
and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
For
purposes of our policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions,
arrangements, or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds
the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end. Transactions involving compensation for services provided
to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, or beneficial owner
of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled
by such persons.
Under
the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person
transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to
consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to our audit committee, or, if audit committee
approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board of Directors, for review, consideration and approval or ratification.
The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related
persons, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to
or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information
that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder to enable
us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our
code of business conduct and ethics, our employees and directors will have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction
or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related person transactions,
our audit committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances
including, but not limited to:
● the
risks, costs and benefits to us;
54
● the
impact on a director’s independence in the event that the related person is a director,
immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
● the
availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and
● the
terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees
generally.
The
policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, our audit committee, or other
independent body of our Board of Directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not
inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our stockholders, as our audit committee, or other independent body of our Board of
Directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two-year period ended December 31, 2025,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has not yet achieved
profitable operations as of December 31, 2025 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue
Recognition
Auditing
the Company’s revenue recognition required significant judgment in applying ASC 606. Specifically, auditing management’s
evaluation of the agreement with a customer involved assessing the identification and allocation of standalone transaction prices to
performance obligations under ASC 606. As such, revenue recognition was identified as a Critical Audit Matter, as improper revenue recognition
could materially misstate the financial statements and key financial indicators.
To
address these risks, we reviewed and assessed a customer agreement and management’s evaluation of key terms and related disclosures.
We also performed substantive audit procedures to test the appropriateness, accuracy, and completeness of recorded revenue transactions.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2025 and 2024
1. Organization and Nature of Business
Description
of Business
BullFrog
AI Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in February
2020. BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of BullFrog AI, Inc. and BullFrog AI Management, LLC, which were incorporated
in Delaware and Maryland, in 2017 and 2021, respectively. All the Company’s operations are currently conducted through BullFrog
AI Holdings, Inc., which began operations in February 2020. The Company is focused specifically on advanced artificial intelligence and
machine learning (“AI/ML”) driven analysis of complex data sets in medicine and healthcare. The Company’s objective
is to utilize its AI/ML platform to provide a precision medicine approach to drug asset enablement through external partnerships and
selective internal development.
Most
new therapeutics will fail at some point in preclinical or clinical development. These failures are the primary drivers for the high
cost of developing new therapeutics. A major challenge in developing new therapeutics is efficiently integrating the complex, high-dimensional
data generated at each stage of development to help de-risk subsequent stages of the process. AI/ML
have emerged as a digital solution to help address this problem.
The
Company uses AI/ML to advance medicines for both internal and external projects. Currently, most AI/ML platforms still fall short in
their ability to synthesize disparate, high-dimensional data for actionable insight. The Company’s analytical platform is
composed of an ensemble of state-of-the-art machine learning and artificial intelligence models. The Company’s core platform
technology, bfLEAP™, is an analytical AI/ML platform developed at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
(“JHU-APL”), which the Company believes is able to surmount the challenges of scalability and flexibility currently
hindering researchers and clinicians by providing a more precise, multi-dimensional understanding of their data. The Company is
deploying its analytical platform, including bfLEAP™, in several critical stages of development of internal programs and to
customers through strategic partnerships and collaborations with the intention of streamlining data analytics in therapeutics
development, decreasing the overall development costs by decreasing failure rates for new therapeutics, and impacting the lives of
countless patients that may otherwise not receive the therapies they need.
The
proprietary analytical platform utilizes both supervised and unsupervised machine learning. As such, it can reveal real and meaningful
connections in the data without the need for a priori hypothesis. Algorithms used in the platform are designed to handle highly
imbalanced data sets and successfully identify combinations of factors that are associated with outcomes of interest. The Company’s
platform leverages models that use both correlative and causative machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches which provide
a comprehensive approach to predictive analysis that is expected to lead to meaningful insights including the molecular drivers of disease.
In this regard, the Company continues to advance its internal target discovery initiatives through access to proprietary datasets, including
those available under its strategic data and commercialization agreements with the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (“LIBD”).
The
Company’s goal is to improve the odds of success at all stages of pre-clinical and clinical development for in-house programs and
for its strategic partners, collaborators, and customers. The Company’s business model includes supporting clinical trial optimization
efforts for ongoing studies and rescuing late stage failed drugs (i.e., Phase II or Phase III clinical trial failures) by bringing them
in-house for development prior to eventual divestiture; although, the Company also considers entering collaborations for earlier stage
drugs. The Company pursues its drug asset enhancement business by leveraging the powerful and proven bfLEAP™ AI/ML platform initially
developed at JHU-APL. The Company believes the bfLEAP™ analytics platform is a potentially disruptive tool for analysis of pre-clinical
and clinical data sets, such as the robust pre-clinical and clinical trial datasets being generated in translational R&D and clinical
trial settings.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
The
Company has generated negative cash flows from operations and operated at a net loss since inception. As of December 31, 2025, the Company
has a cash balance of approximately $ 2.3 million, which includes restricted cash of $ 0.1 million held by a financial institution as collateral
for the Company’s corporate credit card program. In February 2024 and October 2024, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$ 5.7 million and $ 2.7 million, respectively, from the sale of its common stock and warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company received net proceeds of approximately $ 2.6 million from the sale of its common stock pursuant to the Company’s At-The-Market
Sales Agreement with BTIG, LLC (the “ATM Agreement”). As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents
position is not sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for at least a year beyond the filing date of the consolidated
financial statements. This risk factor, as well as other factors, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us utilizing the financing facilities available to us
and/or obtaining necessary additional financing and/or revenues to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when
they become due.
F- 7
Accordingly,
the Company will require additional capital to continue to execute its strategy. The Company anticipates securing this additional
capital through various avenues including revenues from services, licensing agreements and collaborative arrangements within its
operating business and/or the selling of equity securities or entry into debt transactions. Although management believes that such
funding sources will be available, including pursuant to the Company’s at-the-market common stock sales facility provided by
our ATM Agreement and pursuant to the Company’s equity line of credit facility provided by our purchase agreement with Lincoln
Park Capital Fund, LLC, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will provide sufficient capital when needed to allow
the Company to continue its operations, or if available, be on terms acceptable to it. If the Company does not raise sufficient
funds in a timely manner, among other things, it may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its research and
product development programs and capital expenditures or enter into arrangements on unfavorable terms. The Company does not
currently have commitments for future funding from any source other than those noted above. Furthermore, the issuance of additional
equity securities may be significantly dilutive to the Company’s current shareholders.
On
August 21, 2025, the Company received a letter from the listing staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the
Company was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Rule”). The Stockholders’ Equity Rule requires
companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $ 2,500,000
or to meet alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, which the Company does not
currently meet. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company had 45 calendar days, or until October 6, 2025, to submit a plan to
regain compliance. After submitting the plan to regain compliance, on October 7, 2025, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension until
February 17, 2026, to comply with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On February 19, 2026, the Company received a further notice from Nasdaq
(the “February Letter”) notifying the Company that Nasdaq determined that the Company had not met the terms of the
extension. The Company thereafter timely requested a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”)
which automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any extension period granted
by the Panel following the hearing. At the hearing, the Company plans to present additional details of the Company’s Plan and
provide an update on its efforts to regain compliance. The Company will also request additional time to complete the steps of its
Plan and regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the
Company’s request for additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing rules or that, if the Panel does grant the
Company’s request, the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. If the
Company’s common stock and warrants are delisted, it would be more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s common stock
and warrants or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock and warrants could suffer a
material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital.
On
February 10, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the
closing bid price for the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), was below $ 1.00
per share, which is the minimum closing bid price required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Bid
Price Requirement”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Notice”). The Bid Price Notice had no
immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock and tradeable warrants. As such, the Company’s Common Stock
will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BFRG,” and its tradeable warrants will continue to
trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BFRGW.” In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company
is provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Bid Price Notice, or until August 10, 2026, to regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the 180-calendar day grace period, the closing bid price of the Company’s
Common Stock is at least $ 1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (unless the Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion
to extend this ten business day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)), Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation
of compliance, and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance during the initial 180-calendar day compliance
period, the Company may be provided a second 180-calendar day period to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance
within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, the Company’s listed securities
will be subject to delisting. The Company would thereafter have the right to appeal a determination to delist the Company’s securities,
and the Company’s securities would remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market until the completion of the appeal process. The Company
intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and assess potential options to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing
Rules. While the Company plans to review all available options, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with
the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the compliance period, secure a second 180-day period to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
F- 8
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and
have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include, but are not limited
to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, allowances for doubtful accounts, recoverability of deferred tax assets, valuation
of the Company’s equity investment, and certain other accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM is assisted
in his responsibilities of making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment by the leadership team, consisting
of executives and vice presidents.
The
Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment, focused on advancing drug development using AI/ML to
analyze complex data sets in medicine and healthcare. Segment profit or loss is measured as the Company’s net income (loss) as
reported on the Company’s Statement of Operations. The Company monitors its cash and cash equivalents, as reported on the Company’s
Balance Sheets, to determine funding for its research and development.
The
CODM assesses Company performance through the achievement of revenue, cost optimization, and target identification goals. In addition
to the Company’s Statement of Operations, the CODM is regularly provided with budgeted and forecasted expense information which
is used to determine the Company’s liquidity needs and cash allocation.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue based on the following five step model:
● Identification
of the contract with a customer
This
step outlines the criteria that must be met when establishing a contract with a customer to supply goods or services.
● Identification
of the performance obligations in the contract
This
step describes how distinct performance obligations in the contract must be handled.
● Determination
of the transaction price
This
step outlines what must be considered when establishing the transaction price, which is the amount the business expects to receive for
transferring the goods and services to the customer.
● Allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
This
step outlines guidelines for allocating the transaction price across the contract’s separate performance obligations, and is what
the customer agrees to pay for the goods and services.
● Recognition
of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue
can be recognized as the business meets each performance obligation. This step specifies how that should happen.
F- 9
Contract
Services
The
Company anticipates that the majority of its revenues that may be recognized will result from discovery and monetization of new drug
targets and intellectual property from data use partnerships focused on analysis of rich proprietary datasets. The target market for
monetization will primarily be mid-size to large biopharmaceutical organizations seeking to build their new drug target pipeline through
collaboration agreements with companies such as BullFrog. A secondary revenue channel is fee-for-service partnerships and collaborations
with biopharmaceutical companies and other organizations of all sizes that have challenges analyzing data throughout the drug development
process. The Company provides customers with an analysis of large complex data sets using the Company’s proprietary AI/ML platform.
This platform is aimed at predicting targets of interest, patterns, relationships, anomalies, and molecular drivers of disease. The Company
believes that there will be additional on-going work requested from partners; therefore, the service model utilizes a master services
agreement with work or task orders issued for discrete analysis performed at the discovery, preclinical, or clinical stages of drug development.
The Company will receive fees related to such agreements in either cash, the equity of its partners, or other consideration and, in some
instances, the potential for rights to new intellectual property generated from the analysis. Once data analysis and the analysis report
are complete, the Company delivers the analysis set to the customer and recognizes revenue at that point in time.
Investments
The
Company currently has a single investment in equity securities issued by a privately held entity. The Company entered into a strategic
collaboration agreement and received such equity securities as remuneration for services rendered. The Company has elected to account
for this investment using the measurement alternative as the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. Pursuant to
this alternative, the investment will be carried at its estimated fair value calculated as its cost minus any impairment. The Company
will adjust the investment to fair value only when it identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar
investments of the same issuer. The Company will evaluate the investment at each reporting period to determine whether the investment
is impaired.
Financial
Instruments
The
carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company has elected to account for its single investment
using the measurement alternative and it is considered a financial instrument accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair
value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The
Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:
Level
1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are
observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level
3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
The
Company does not have any assets or liabilities that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Concentration of Credit Risk
The
Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily
convertible into cash.
Restricted
cash represents cash balances that are legally or contractually restricted as to withdrawal or usage. These amounts are not available
for general operating purposes and are maintained in separate accounts or otherwise designated for specific uses.
The
Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Occasionally,
the Company’s cash in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions
is periodically reviewed by senior management.

from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings. For financial
statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives.
Advertising
The
Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating losses, credit carryforwards,
and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at
the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more
likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.
The
Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained
on examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions are classified as a component
of income tax expense.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Employee
and non-employee share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an
expense over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Net
Loss per Share
The
Company calculates basic net loss per common share by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted
earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the period, including unvested
stock options and warrants. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities have been
excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would be antidilutive.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic
280). The new standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant
segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. ASU 2023-07 also clarifies that entities with a single
reportable segment are subject to both new and existing reporting requirements under Topic 280. The adoption of this guidance did not
result in a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. See the Segment Reporting section within Note 2 .
F- 11
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures that requires
entities to disclose additional information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation
and income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and
unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The guidance
does not affect recognition or measurement in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For comparative purposes, the Company
elected to present its 2024 income tax disclosures in this new manner, but the adoption of this guidance did not result in a material
effect on the Company’s financial statements. See Note 9, Income Taxes.
In
July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 which amends Topic 326. Specifically, the ASU provides a practical expedient whereby an entity
can assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset (e.g., the accounts
receivable). This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and can be adopted early. The Company
is in the process of evaluating the effects of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07 which, among other things, provides scope clarification for share-based noncash consideration
from a customer in a revenue contract. Specifically, the ASU clarifies that share-based payments from customers in exchange for the transfer
of goods or services should be accounted for as noncash consideration within the scope of ASC 606 as opposed to as a derivative pursuant
to ASC 815 or as an equity security pursuant to ASC 321. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December
31, 2027 and can be adopted early. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of this guidance on its consolidated financial
statements.
The
Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if
adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
3. Investments
The
Company’s sole investment is in the form of equity securities in a private entity. The Company entered into a strategic collaboration
agreement and received such equity securities as remuneration for services rendered. The investment is initially valued at approximately
$ 117,000 (see Note 6). The Company has elected the measurement alternative and, accordingly, the investment is carried at its estimated
fair value calculated as its cost less any impairment charges until such time as there is evidence of an orderly transaction (see Note
2). As of December 31, 2025, no fair value adjustments have been recognized, nor have there been any impairment charges. This investment
is considered a financial asset that is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
4. Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment consisted of $ 8,744 of equipment at both December 31, 2025 and 2024 and accumulated depreciation of $ 6,219 and $ 4,494 as
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Depreciation
expense totaled $ 1,725 and $ 1,724 in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

6. Revenue
During
2025, the Company had a collaboration agreement with a single customer, Eleison Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eleison”), for
contract services. The collaboration agreement, which was entered into in February 2025 and designed to enhance clinical trial
efficacy, extract actionable insights from historical and ongoing data and improve strategic planning for Eleison’s oncology
pipeline, was deemed to have multiple deliverables with revenue to be recognized at the time each deliverable was completed. In
exchange for the services provided, the Company was entitled to consideration in the form of cash or equity securities of the
customer or any combination at the customer’s sole discretion. The Company received the initial payment in the second quarter
of 2025, representing 50% of the total consideration, in the form of equity securities of the customer valued at approximately
$ 58,000 .
The remaining consideration, also valued at approximately $ 58,000 ,
was received in the form of equity securities of the customer following completion of the final deliverable in the third quarter of
2025. The Company allocated the total proceeds to each of the separate deliverables on a relative basis based on the estimated
stand-alone selling price of each deliverable. All deliverables were completed in the year ended December 31, 2025 and,
consequently, the Company recognized approximately $ 117,000
of revenue at the point in time that each deliverable was completed (see Note 3).
In
June 2025, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration with Sygnature Discovery (“Sygnature”), a UK-based contract
research organization specializing in drug discovery. Under this collaboration, Sygnature will introduce BullFrog Data Networks™,
the Company’s proprietary AI-driven data insights platform powered by the bfLEAP™ engine, to Sygnature’s global biopharma
client base. Any commercial terms for the marketing collaboration will be agreed by the parties in a subsequent agreement. The Company
has not yet recognized any revenue under this collaboration.
The
Company currently has no other revenue agreements. Additionally, the Company has no contract assets or contract costs at December 31,
2025.
7. Notes Payable
In
February 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to finance a portion of the premium for its directors and officers insurance policy

and are exercisable six (6) months from the date of issuance for a five year period from the initial exercise date. The pre-funded warrants
were exercised in their entirety in cashless exercise transactions as of March 31, 2025, pursuant to which 702,373 shares of common stock
were issued.
In
April 2025, the Company entered into the ATM Agreement with BTIG, LLC, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to
time in its sole discretion, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of $ 20.0 million through BTIG, as the Company’s
sales agent. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of common stock under the ATM Agreement, and BTIG is not required to sell
any specific number or dollar amount of shares. Subject to the Company’s request to sell shares of common stock, BTIG will use
commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell such shares on the Company’s behalf.
The Company will pay BTIG a commission of 3 % of the gross sales price of any shares of common stock sold through BTIG under the ATM Agreement
and will reimburse BTIG for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BTIG, including the reasonable and documented
fees and disbursements of counsel to BTIG, subject to specified caps.

of which $ 15,000
remains unpaid at December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $ 17.3
million of capacity remains available under the ATM Agreement; however, the amount the Company is permitted to raise in any 12-month
period is currently limited based on its public float pursuant to SEC General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Accordingly, as of
December 31, 2025, the Company is limited to additional common stock sales of approximately $ 2.0
million. This amount is subject to adjustment based on increases in the Company’s public float.
In
September 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant

The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $ 10.0 million
of the Company’s common stock. Such sales of common stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations set forth
in the purchase agreement, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing
on November 25, 2025, the date that the conditions to Lincoln Park’s purchase obligation set forth in the purchase agreement were
satisfied. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued 147,682 shares of common stock valued at approximately $ 207,000 to Lincoln
Park as a fee in advance of any sales pursuant to this facility. No shares were sold under this facility during the year ended December

2022
Equity Incentive Plan
In
November 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and its shareholders approved, the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The Plan provides for the granting of equity-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants. The Plan provides for equity-based
awards including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, cash awards
and other equity-based awards. Awards are limited to a maximum term of 10 years and any exercise prices shall not be less than 100% of

awards of 900,000 with an automatic annual increase to an amount equal to 15 % of the total number of shares outstanding as of the end
of the preceding fiscal year. In October 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number
of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 750,000 . As of December 31, 2025, there are 891,975 awards authorized but unissued

Because of the Company’s lack of U.S. earnings history, the net U.S. deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation
allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $ 1,826,986 and $ 1,583,168 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a gross net operating loss carryforward of approximately
$ 16.9 million and a gross state net operating loss carryforward of approximately $ 8.5 million. The federal net operating loss carryforward
does not expire and may be used to offset future taxable income. The state gross net operating loss begins to expire in 2043. Utilization
of some of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards is subject to annual limitations due to the “change in ownership”
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of
net operating losses and credits before utilization.
The
Company has provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit and its other net deferred tax assets
since, in the opinion of management, based upon the earnings history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits
of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized. All or a portion of the remaining valuation allowance may be reduced
in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits.
As
required under ASU 2023-09, the Company has included only the portion of the valuation allowance related to federal deferred tax assets
in the “change in valuation allowance” line of the rate reconciliation. The following table presents a reconciliation of
the total change in the valuation allowance:

The
Company has incurred net operating losses since inception and it did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024,
and does not anticipate this to change significantly over the next 12 months. The Company will recognize interest and penalties accrued
on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and certain state jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination in these
jurisdictions for any tax year. The Company’s tax years beginning with 2022 are open tax years. Because of net operating losses
and research credit carryovers, substantially all the Company’s tax years remain open to examination.

10. Material Agreements
JHU-APL
Technology License
In
February 2018, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license with JHU-APL (the “2018 License Agreement”).
The license covers three (3) issued patents, one (1) new provisional patent application, non-patent rights to proprietary libraries of
algorithms and other trade secrets, as well as modifications and improvements. In October 2021, the Company executed an amendment to
the original license for improvements and new advanced analytics capabilities. In consideration of the rights granted to the Company
under the 2018 License Agreement, JHU-APL received a warrant equal to five percent ( 5 %) of the then fully diluted equity base of the
Company, which was diluted following the closing of the Company’s IPO and subsequent financings.
In
July 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from JHU-APL for the additional technology developed
to enhance the bfLEAP™ platform (the “2022 License Agreement”). The new license provides additional intellectual property
rights including patents, copyrights, and know-how to be utilized under the Company’s bfLEAP™ analytical AI/ML platform.
This 2022 License Agreement supersedes the previous 2018 License Agreement. In consideration for entering into the new license, the Company
issued 39,879 shares of common stock to JHU-APL. Under the terms of the 2022 License Agreement, JHU-APL will be entitled to eight percent
( 8 %) of net sales for the services provided by the Company to other parties and three percent ( 3 %) for internally developed drug projects
in which the JHU-APL license is utilized. The new license also contains tiered sub licensing fees that start at 50 % and decline to 25 %
based on revenues. In addition, under the 2022 License Agreement, the minimum annual royalty payments are $ 30,000 for 2022, $ 80,000 for
2023, and $ 300,000 per year for 2024 and beyond, all of which are creditable by royalties. If cumulative annual royalty payments do not
reach these levels, the amount due to JHU-APL to reach the annual minimum is due by January 1 st of the following year. Failure
to make annual royalty payments is considered a material breach under the agreement and, upon notice from JHU-APL of a material breach,
the Company will have 60 days to cure the material breach. The financial terms of the new license agreement replaces the original terms
within the 2018 License Agreement and are not duplicative.
In
May 2023, the Company and JHU-APL entered into Amendment Number 1 of the 2022 License Agreement whereby the Company gained access to
certain improvements including additional patents and know-how in exchange for a series of payments totaling $ 275,000 . The first of these
payments for $ 75,000 was paid in July 2023, the second of these payments for $ 75,000 was paid in June 2025, and the remaining payments
of $ 75,000 and $ 50,000 are due in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The amendment also reduced the 2023 minimum annual royalty payment from
$ 80,000 to $ 60,000 ; all other financial terms remained the same.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company has accrued the entire $ 300,000 minimum annual royalty but the entire balance remains uninvoiced and
unpaid as of the date of this filing. Additionally, the Company has accrued $ 43,750 of the $ 75,000 annual license fee due in June 2026.
The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore
may not be recoverable; the Company expensed the license fee and will expense development costs until commercial viability is likely
George
Washington University - Beta2-spectrin siRNA License
In
January 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from George Washington University (“GWU”)
for rights to use siRNA targeting Beta2-spectrin in the treatment of human diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma. The license
covers methods claimed in three U.S. and worldwide patent applications, and also includes use of this approach for treatment of obesity,
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
F- 19
In
consideration of the rights granted to the Company under the license agreement, the Company paid GWU a $ 20,000 license initiation fee
in 2022. Under the terms of the license agreement, GWU will be entitled to a three percent ( 3 %) royalty on net sales subject to quarterly
minimums once the first sale has occurred subsequent to regulatory approval, as well as sublicense or assignment fees in the event the
Company sublicenses or assigns their rights to use the technology. The Company will also reimburse GWU for previously incurred and ongoing
patent costs. The sublicense and assignment fees decline as the Company advances the clinical development of the licensed technology.
The license agreement also contains milestone payments for clinical development through the approval of a new drug application (“NDA”)
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and commercialization. As of December 31, 2025, there has been no accrual for royalties since
the Company has not begun to generate applicable revenue; however, the Company has accrued the $ 20,000 license maintenance fees for 2025.
The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore
may not be recoverable. The Company expensed the license fee and will expense development costs until commercial viability is likely.
Johns
Hopkins University – Mebendazole License
In
February 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”)
for the use of an improved formulation of Mebendazole for the treatment of any human cancer or neoplastic disease. This formulation shows
potent activity in animal models with different types of cancer and has been evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial in patients with high-grade
glioma (NCT01729260). The trial, an open-label dose-escalation study, assessed the safety and efficacy of the improved formulation with
adjuvant temozolomide in 24 patients with newly diagnosed gliomas. Investigators observed no dose-limiting toxicity in patients receiving
all but the highest tested dose (200mg/kg/day). Four of the 15 patients receiving the maximum tested dose of 200mg/kg/day experienced
dose-limiting toxicity, all of which were reversed by decreasing or eliminating the dose given. There were no serious adverse events
attributed to Mebendazole at any dose during the trial. 41.7% of patients who received Mebendazole were alive at two years after enrollment,
and 25% were alive at four years (Gallia et al., 2021).
The
license covers six (6) issued patents and one (1) pending application. In consideration of the rights granted to the Company under the
license agreement, JHU received a staggered upfront license fee of $ 250,000 , with $ 50,000 paid in 2022 and the remaining balance of $ 200,000
paid in 2023. The Company will also reimburse JHU for previously incurred and ongoing patent costs. Under the terms of the license agreement,
JHU will be entitled to three and one-half percent ( 3.5 %) royalty on net sales by the Company in which the JHU license was utilized.
In addition, the Company is required to pay JHU minimum annual royalty payments of $ 5,000 for 2022, $ 10,000 for 2023, $ 20,000 for 2024,
$ 30,000 for 2025 and $ 50,000 for 2026 and each year after until the first commercial sale, after which the annual minimum royalty shall
be $ 250,000 . The license agreement also contains milestone payments for clinical development steps through the approval of an NDA and
commercialization. As of December 31, 2024, the accrued expense balance related to this license agreement was $ 20,000 , which was paid
in January 2025. In the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company accrued and paid the royalty fee of $ 30,000 . The Company assessed whether
the license should be capitalized and determined that the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore may not be recoverable.
The Company expensed the license fee and will expense development costs until commercial viability is likely.
Johns
Hopkins University – Prodrug License
In
October 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive, world-wide, royalty-bearing license from JHU and the Institute of Organic Chemistry
and Biochemistry (“IOCB”) of the Czech Academy of Sciences for rights to commercialize N-substituted prodrugs of Mebendazole
that demonstrate improved solubility and bioavailability. The license covers prodrug compositions and use for treating disease as claimed
in multiple U.S. and worldwide patent applications. In consideration for the rights granted to the Company under the license agreement,
JHU and IOCB received a staggered upfront license fee of $ 100,000 and the Company reimbursed JHU and IOCB for previously incurred patent
costs. Under the terms of the license agreement, JHU and IOCB will be entitled to a four percent ( 4.0 %) royalty on net sales by the Company
in which the JHU and IOCB license was utilized. In addition, the Company is required to pay JHU and IOCB minimum annual royalty payments
of $ 5,000 for 2026, $ 10,000 for 2027, $ 20,000 for 2028, $ 30,000 for 2029 and $ 50,000 for 2030 and each year after until the first commercial
sale, after which, the annual minimum royalty shall be $ 150,000 . The license agreement also contains milestone payments for patent grants,
clinical development steps through the approval of an NDA and commercialization. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of accrued
expense related to this license agreement was $ 0 . The Company assessed whether the license should be capitalized and determined that
the licensed program is in the early stage and therefore may not be recoverable. The Company will expense the license fee and development
costs until commercial viability is likely.
F- 20
Lieber
Institute for Brain Development Partnership
In
September 2023, the Company entered into a Data Use and Technology Partnership Agreement (the “Data Use Agreement”) and a
related Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (“LIBD”), a nonprofit
medical research organization focused on mental health disorders. The partnership is intended to combine LIBD’s proprietary brain-related
datasets with the Company’s AI/ML capabilities to support drug discovery and development
activities.
Under
the Data Use Agreement, LIBD granted the Company a limited, royalty-free, non-transferable license to access and use certain curated
LIBD datasets solely for the application of AI/ML to drug development, excluding diagnostic uses.
The license was exclusive for an initial one-year term beginning upon receipt of the first significant tranche of data and was subsequently
extended. The Company is responsible for all costs associated with the development plan and is required to provide LIBD with the resulting
deliverables upon completion of the exclusivity period.
Pursuant to the MOU, the Company entered into a Commercial Agreement with LIBD governing the potential commercialization of products or services derived from
LIBD data. Under the proposed structure, LIBD would receive royalties on net sales and a percentage of sublicense revenue, with rates
varying based on the source of commercialization. The Company has also agreed to provide LIBD with any such products or services free
of charge for LIBD’s internal research use.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
While
not assured, management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that a loss contingency will have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not have
any material commitments.
12. Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial
statements are issued.
Subsequent
to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company continued to raise capital through sales of shares of its common stock under its
ATM Agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company received approximately $ 0.9
million of net proceeds from the sale of 976,204
shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of approximately $ 0.90
per share. Consequently, as of the date of this filing, approximately $ 16.4 million
of capacity remains available under the ATM Agreement; however, the amount the Company is permitted to raise in any 12-month period
is currently limited based on its public float pursuant to SEC General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Accordingly, as of the date of
this filing, the Company is limited to additional common stock sales of approximately $ 1.1
million under the ATM facility.
Subsequent
to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised capital through its purchase agreement with Lincoln Park. In January 2026, the
Company received proceeds of approximately $ 218,000 from the sale of 270,000 shares at an average price of approximately $ 0.81 per share.
