Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You
should read this discussion together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other
financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) together with our audited
consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other information contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 13, 2026 (the “2025 10-K”). The
following discussion contains or is based on assumptions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks
and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Risk Factors,” in this report and in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 10-K
and as described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We
are a pre-clinical-stage synthetic allogeneic iMSC therapy company. iMSCs are induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem
cells. We envision a future where cell therapies powered by synthetic iMSCs can offer new options for patients with limited treatment
paths, and our mission is to transform the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease by developing scalable, affordable, off-the-shelf
cell therapies that restore hope.
Objectives
and Business Strategy
Our
lead product candidate ERNA-101 is allogenic IL-7 and IL-15-secreting iMSCs. ERNA-101 capitalizes on the intrinsic tumor-homing ability
of MSCs to slip through the tumor’s defenses and to deliver potent pro-inflammatory factors directly to the tumor microenvironment
(“TME”), limiting systemic exposure and potential toxicity while potentially unleashing potent anti-cancer immune responses
including enhancement of T-cell anti-tumor activity. Our initial focus is to develop ERNA-101 in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. We
collaborated with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MDACC”) to investigate the ability of ERNA-101 to induce
and modulate antitumor immunity in an ovarian cancer model. In preclinical study, ERNA-101 exhibited reduction of tumor growth and a
statistically significant survival advantage in the ovarian cancer model as compared to the control group, and as announced in May 2026,
preclinical data demonstrates that when ERNA-101 is used in combination with PD-1 blockade, it drives complete tumor clearance and 100%
long-term survival in syngeneic ovarian cancer models. We have filed Patent Application No. 63/991,024 related to the use of ERNA-101
in combination with PD-1 blockade, which remains pending. It is possible that the pending application, and any that may be filed in the
future, will not lead to an issued patent. Additionally, MDACC has filed a patent application based on research conducted under our collaboration
agreement (the “MDACC Application”), and we were informed that none of our employees were identified as inventors on the
MDACC Application. We have not yet received the MDACC Application and have not evaluated inventorship, ownership or assignment rights
as of the filing of this Quarterly Report.
During
the fourth quarter of 2025, we had a successful pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) meeting with the Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”), which resulted in regulatory alignment with our development approach. We expect to complete the Investigational
New Drug (“IND”) enabling studies and IND submission in 2026 and to subsequently enter a Phase I investigator sponsored clinical
trial in the second half of 2026.
We
are also investigating anti-inflammatory cytokine (e.g., IL-10)-secreting iMSCs in autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, which
we refer to as ERNA-201. MSCs have an intrinsic ability to home to inflamed tissue and have been shown to dampen inflammation and drive
healing through multiple secreted mediators and cell-cell interactions. We are investigating the ability of ERNA-201 to turbocharge these
anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.
We
have also been accepted as one of only ten global companies for the Japan External Trade Organization acceleration program, which will
allow us to receive expert-led mentoring and market-entry guidance focused on Japan’s regulatory, clinical and commercial landscape.
The program also provides direct engagement opportunities with leading Japanese research and development organizations to explore potential
collaborations across development, manufacturing and clinical execution.
Additionally,
to expand our developmental opportunities and raise non-dilutive capital, we are actively seeking strategic partnerships to co-develop
or out-license therapeutic assets and engage with potential collaborators, and we are currently applying for research grants, some of
which will be used for research conducted at our Texas subsidiary, Ernexa TX2, Inc.

Recent
Developments
Independent Validation
of ERNA-101
In July 2026, an independently conducted
study conducted by an independent contract research organization successfully reproduced earlier findings generated at MD Anderson Cancer
Center, demonstrating complete tumor clearance and durable long-term survival in a substantially larger study. The results further strengthen
confidence in ERNA-101's mechanism of action and provide important third-party validation as the Company advances toward its planned Investigational
New Drug (IND) submission in the third quarter of 2026 and anticipated first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in the fourth quarter.
Reverse
Stock Split
As
approved on March 27, 2026 by written consent from approximately 53.34% of our stockholders (the “Consenting Stockholders), on
May 4, 2026, we effected a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25, as determined by our Board of Directors within
the parameters approved by the Consenting Stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
Upon
the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty-five shares of the issued and outstanding common stock were automatically
combined and reclassified into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value
of the common stock, and the number of authorized shares of common stock remains unchanged at 150,000,000 shares. No fractional shares
were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and no cash or other consideration was paid in connection with any fractional
shares. Stockholders who otherwise would have held a fractional share after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split instead owned one
whole share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. We issued an aggregate of 203 shares for rounding up fractional shares to whole
shares.
All
share and per share data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock
Split.
2026
Public Offering
On
February 6, 2026, we entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Brookline Capital
Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline” or the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which we engaged
the Placement Agent for the public offering of 0.8 million shares of our common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu of common stock)
and accompanying warrants to purchase 0.8 million shares of common stock (the “Milestone Warrants”), at a combined offering
price of $12.50 per share of common stock and accompanying Milestone Warrant (or a combined offering price of $12.25 per share of pre-funded
warrant and accompanying Milestone Warrants) (the “Public Offering”). In connection with the Public Offering, we also entered
into a securities purchase agreement (each, a “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors who purchased shares of common
stock and Milestone Warrants in the Public Offering.
The
pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable (subject to certain ownership limitations) had an exercise price of $0.25 per share
and did not expire until exercised in full. On February 11, 2026 and February 18, 2026, we issued 53,000 and 27,000 shares of common
stock, respectively, in connection with the exercise of the pre-funded warrants, for a total exercise price of approximately $20,000.
There are no remaining pre-funded warrants outstanding related to the Public Offering.
The
Milestone Warrants are tradeable on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ERNAW.” The Milestone Warrants are immediately
exercisable (subject to certain ownership limitations), have an exercise price of $17.00 per share, and expire on the earlier of (i)
the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date or (ii) the 180 th calendar day following our public release of clinical
trial data from the first cohort of the Phase 1 study of ERNA-101.
Pursuant
to the Placement Agency Agreement, we paid the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee of approximately $0.5 million, which was equal to
6.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by investors in the Offering (or 1.5% with respect to certain existing investors). We will
also pay the Placement Agent a cash fee as compensation for gross proceeds we receive from any exercise of any Milestone Warrants sold
in connection with the Public Offering, payable quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 following the closing of the
Public Offering (or the following business day if such day is not a business day), at the same percentage and as calculated in the manner
as set forth above. We also issued approximately 9,000 shares of common stock to the Placement Agent, which was equal to 1.5% of the
aggregate number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants sold in the Public Offering (or 0.5% with respect to sales to certain
existing investors). In addition, we reimbursed the Placement Agent for its accountable offering-related legal expenses in an amount
of $125,000.
18
The
Public Offering closed on February 10, 2026, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.5 million before deducting Placement Agent
fees and other offering expenses payable by us. We are using the net proceeds from the Public Offering to support the advancement of
our development programs and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
Placement Agency Agreement and the Purchase Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by us, customary
conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of us, the Placement Agent, or the investors, as the case may be, and other obligations
of the parties.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreements and the Placement Agency Agreement, we have agreed that for a period of ninety (90) days from
the closing of the Public Offering, that neither we nor any subsidiary may (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the
issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, unless waived by the Placement Agent. We have also
agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents involving a Variable
Rate Transaction, as defined in the Purchase Agreements, for a period of ninety (90) days following the closing of the Public Offering,
subject to certain exceptions, unless waived by the Placement Agent. In addition, as part of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain
exceptions, our officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements, pursuant to which they agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose
of any of the common stock for a period of ninety (90) days following the date of closing of the Public Offering.
Universal
Shelf and ATM
On
March 13, 2026, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to offer and sell up to $50.0 million of our common stock
from time to time in one or more offerings (the “Universal Shelf”), which became effective on March 30, 2026. The Universal
Shelf includes a prospectus supplement providing for sales of up to $9.2 million of common stock pursuant to an At-the-Market (“ATM”)
program under a sales agent agreement we entered into with Brookline.
We
are subject to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 (the “baby shelf” rules), which limits the aggregate market value of
securities we may sell under the Universal Shelf to no more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period while our public
float remains below $75.0 million. As of the filing of the Universal Shelf, one-third of our public float was approximately $9.2 million,
representing the maximum amount to be sold under the ATM. To date, we have sold approximately 463,000 shares of common stock for net
proceeds of approximately $3.7 million under the ATM.
Nasdaq
Compliance
Our
common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Nasdaq requires that listed companies satisfy certain continued
listing requirements, including Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires that listed companies maintain a minimum bid price of their common
stock of at least $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).
On
March 18, 2026, we received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that our common stock failed to maintain the Bid Price Rule for 30
consecutive business days. While companies are typically afforded a 180-calendar day compliance period, as specified under Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), to comply with the Bid Price Rule, Nasdaq concluded that we are not eligible for the compliance period pursuant to
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) due to the fact that we effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period. Accordingly,
we requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”), which automatically stayed any suspension or delisting
action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. Our hearing
was held on April 28, 2026, during which we requested an extension for continued listing on Nasdaq through May 15, 2026, the date we
expected to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule (as discussed further below).
19
On
May 5, 2026, the Panel granted our request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the following conditions: (i) on or before May
15, 2026, we shall demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule; (ii) from the date of the Panel decision until September 14, 2026
(the end of the Panel’s jurisdiction in this matter), we shall maintain compliance with all Nasdaq Listing Rules; and (iii) we
will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of this determination pursuant to Rule 5815(d)(4)(B).
If we do not maintain compliance with all Nasdaq Listing Rules through September 14, 2026, the Panel will immediately delist our securities
from Nasdaq. Additionally, should we become deficient again with the Bid Price Rule during the one-year period ending May 5, 2027, Nasdaq
will immediately issue us a delisting determination.
On
May 4, 2026, we effected the Reverse Stock Split and on May 29, 2026, we received notice from Nasdaq that we have regained compliance
with the Bid Price Rule. The Panel maintains jurisdiction over the Company until September 14, 2026 with respect to all Nasdaq Listing
Rules, and the Company must continue to remain compliant with the Bid Price Rule through May 5, 2027 to avoid delisting.
Basis
of Presentation
Revenues
and Cost of Revenues
We
are a pre-clinical stage company and do not currently have any revenues from product sales or cost of revenues. We will not have revenues
from product sales or cost of revenues until such time as we receive regulatory approval of our product candidates and successfully commercialize
our products.
Research
and Development Expenses
We
expense our research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for company-sponsored
research and development activities. Upfront payments and milestone payments made for the licensing of technology are expensed as research
and development in the period in which they are incurred if the technology is not expected to have any alternative future uses other
than the specific research and development project for which it was intended.
The
major components of research and development costs include preclinical study costs, salaries and employee benefits, stock-based compensation
expense, supplies and materials, expensed licensed technology, consulting, scientific advisors and other third-party costs, as well as
allocations of various overhead costs related to our product development efforts.
We
have contracted with third parties to perform various studies. The financial terms of these agreements vary from contract to contract
and may result in uneven payment flows. We accrue for third party expenses based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended
during the reporting period. If the actual timing of the performance of the services or the level of effort varies from the estimate,
the accrual is adjusted accordingly. The expenses for some third-party services may be recognized on a straight-line basis if the expected
costs are expected to be incurred ratably during the period. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of
certain events or milestones, the allocation of responsibilities among the parties to the agreement, and the completion of portions of
the preclinical study or similar conditions.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other costs, including stock-based compensation, for
our executive and administrative personnel, legal and other professional fees, travel, insurance, and other corporate costs.

Total
research and development expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025,
primarily due to increased study fees related to ERNA-101 as well as increased payroll due to an increase in our research and development
headcount and increased other expenses, which includes travel, supplies and allocated rent. These increases were offset by a reduction
in expenses related to our Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) and the license and collaboration agreement (“the Factor
L&C Agreement”) with Factor Bioscience Limited (“Factor Limited”). Pursuant to the Factor L&C Agreement, we
paid Factor Bioscience approximately $0.2 million per month from September 2024 through August 2025, and we paid approximately $0.1 million
per month from September 2024 through May 2025. The Company will also pay certain milestone payments, royalty payments on net sales of
commercialized products and sublicensing fee payments, when applicable.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, our research and development expenses increased by
approximately $2.3 million primarily due to fees recognized for services under Statement of Work 1 with Cellipont for development and
manufacturing services, increased study fees related to ERNA-101 as well as increased payroll due to an increase in research and development
headcount. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in expenses under professional fees due to the amendment of W02 starting
during March 2026.

Our
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 decreased by approximately $0.05 million primarily
due to bonuses paid out to general counsel as part of an amendment to their employment agreement in 2025, offset by an increase in recruiting
expense.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, our general and administrative expenses increased
by approximately $0.1 million primarily due to increases in payroll related to certain accrued bonuses and in professional
fees related to certain legal matters, offset by a reduction in stock based compensation due to a reduction in the fair values of the
equity awards that are amortizing during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as
decreased other expenses for occupancy costs, depreciation and amortization, and reduced insurance premiums.
22
Impairment
of Goodwill
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a $2.0 million impairment charge of the goodwill we had on our balance sheet from a
2018 acquisition because we concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value as of March 31, 2026,
and the goodwill was considered fully impaired. As of June 30, 2026, there was no remaining goodwill balance. We did not recognize a
similar expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Forward
sales contract expense
During
the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized expense of $0.5 million related to a forward sales contract because the fair
value of the shares that were expected to be issued under a securities purchase agreement entered into on March 31, 2025
(the “2025 SPA”) exceeded the expected proceeds. There was no similar transaction for the three months ended June 30,
2026.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized expense of $5.8 million related to a forward sales contract because the fair value
of the shares that were expected to be issued under a securities purchase agreement entered into on March 31, 2025 (the “2025 SPA”)
exceeded the expected proceeds. There was no similar transaction for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Change
in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
The
change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was de minimis. There was
no change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest
Income (Expense), net
For
the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized approximately $55,000 more in interest income due to an increase of cash in interest-bearing
accounts compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized approximately $94,000 more in interest income due to an increase of cash in interest-bearing
accounts compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Gain
on extinguishment of contingent liability
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized approximately $41,000 due to the extinguishment of the contingent consideration
liability during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Other
Expense, net
During
the three and six ended June 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million of expenses related to the
2025 SPA transaction entered into on March 31, 2025. There was no comparable expense for the three and six months ended June
30, 2026.
Benefit
(provision) for Income Taxes
During
2026, we expect to incur state income tax liabilities related to our operations. We have established a full valuation allowance for all
deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards, since we could not conclude that we were more likely than not able
to generate future taxable income to realize these assets. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due primarily to
our full valuation allowance.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2026, we had cash of approximately $5.0 million, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $255.2 million. We have
to date incurred operating losses, and we expect these losses to continue in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2026, we incurred a net loss of $4.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively, which includes the $2.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment
charge. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, and we used $6.4 million of cash in operating activities.
23
On
February 10, 2026, we received approximately $9.5 million in net proceeds from the Public Offering. On March 13, 2026, we filed the Universal
Shelf, which included a prospectus for a $9.2 million ATM. The Universal Shelf is subject to the baby shelf rules, and as of the filing
of the Universal Shelf, one-third of our public float was approximately $9.2 million, representing the maximum amount to be sold under
the ATM. As of June 30, 2026, we received approximately $6,000 in net proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ATM. To date,
we have sold approximately 463,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $3.7 million under the ATM, and we have approximately
$5.4 million of shares remaining to sell under this facility.
In
connection with preparing the financial statement as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we evaluated whether there
are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that are known and reasonably knowable that would raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
As
of August 4, 2026, we had approximately $7.4 million in cash, which is less than that needed to affect our
current operating plan and forecasted cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, we expect that our ability to access
additional capital under our ATM will cover shortfalls in our cash resources over the next twelve months from the issuance date of
these financial statements. Subsequent to the balance sheet date of June 30, 2026, the Company sold an additional 461,851 shares for
net proceeds of $3.7 million in cash under the ATM.
If
our cash is not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, we may be required to reduce planned capital expenses, reduce operational
cash uses or raise capital on terms that are not as favorable to us as they otherwise might be. Any actions we may undertake to reduce
planned capital purchases or reduce expenses may be insufficient to cover shortfalls in available funds. If we require additional capital,
we may be unable to secure additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

Cash Used in Operating Activities
There
was an increase of approximately $1.8 million, respectively, in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026
