Exhibits 34 SIGNATURES 35 | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q Table of Contents FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain “forward-looking statements.” Additionally, we, or our representatives, may, from time to time, make other written or verbal forward-looking statements and discuss plans, expectations, and objectives regarding our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Without limiting the foregoing, statements that are in the future tense, and all statements accompanied by terms such as “believe,” “hope,” “potential,” “project,” “expect,” “trend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “assume,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “anticipate,” “outlook, “preliminary,” “will likely result,” “will continue,” and variations of them and similar terms are intended to be “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal securities laws. Such statements are based on currently available information, which management has assessed but which is dynamic and subject to rapid change due to risks and uncertainties that affect our business. For the next several years, we believe our success is highly correlated with the outcome of our clinical trials and, secondarily, with the sale of our products and services. The Company may not be able to complete human trials on our investigational drug candidates, or, once conducted, the results of human trials may not be favorable or as anticipated or may reflect a lack of efficacy in humans or animals. Precautions, including social distancing and travel restrictions, among others, could lead to delays or expenses greater than anticipated or projected. Failure or delay with respect to any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, stock price, and financial condition. Our projections and investments anticipate certain regulatory changes and stable pricing, which may not hold out over the next several years. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately or receive patents. We may not receive regulatory approval for our products or trials. The patent applications we have licensed may not be granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), even if the Company is in full compliance with USPTO requirements. We may not have adequate resources, including financial resources, to successfully conduct all requisite clinical trials, to bring a product based on the above-referenced patented formulations to market, or to pay applicable maintenance fees over time. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our products even if they are successful and receive regulatory approval, including, but not limited to, based on the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) current position on hemp and hemp-based products. Failure or delay with respect to any of the factors above could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, stock price, and financial condition. This document also contains statements that are not approved by the FDA, including but not limited to the statements on hemp and hemp extracts and their potential efficacy on humans and animals. While these statements and claims are intended to be in compliance with federal and state laws, we cannot guarantee such compliance. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based upon assumptions, expectations, plans, and projections subject to risks and uncertainties, including those, if any, identified in the “Risk Factors” set forth in this report or in our transition report on Form 10-KT for the nine months transition period ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2026, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other documents that we subsequently file with the SEC that update, supplement or supersede such information, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when they are made. Except as required by federal securities law, we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 3 Table of Contents PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 1.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Overview IGC Pharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapeutic candidates for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, with a primary emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease. Our core strategy is to address high-burden symptoms and underlying disease mechanisms through differentiated pharmaceutical formulations, supported by targeted clinical development and data-driven research approaches. Our lead product candidate, IGC-AD1 , is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia, a neuropsychiatric condition affecting a substantial proportion of patients and associated with significant patient distress, caregiver burden, and healthcare utilization. In addition to symptom management, preclinical studies of IGC-AD1 suggest activity against biological pathways associated with Alzheimer’s disease pathology, supporting its potential evaluation in broader disease-modifying contexts. Beyond IGC-AD1, our development pipeline includes additional early-stage therapeutic candidates targeting Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms, including TGR-63 and other investigational compounds currently in preclinical evaluation. These programs are intended to expand our long-term development portfolio while maintaining a disciplined focus on clinical execution and capital efficiency. The Company is also developing MINT-AD , a proprietary, artificial intelligence, enabled data platform designed to support risk stratification and longitudinal assessment in Alzheimer’s disease using multimodal datasets. MINT-AD is intended as a clinical and research decision-support tool and is not currently approved as a diagnostic device. We operate as a clinical-stage organization and do not currently generate revenue from pharmaceutical product sales. Our limited revenue to date has primarily been derived from life sciences related activities outside of our core drug development programs. Our operations are funded through equity financings, debt facilities, and strategic capital allocation, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses as we advance our clinical and research programs. Business Organization As of March 31, 2026, the Company had the following operating subsidiaries: HH Processors, LLC, IGC Pharma IP, LLC, IGC Pharma, LLC, SAN Holdings, LLC, Hamsa Biopharma India Pvt. Ltd., and Colombia-based beneficially owned subsidiary IGC Pharma SAS. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The Company’s principal office is in Maryland, and it is a Maryland corporation established in 2005. Additionally, the Company has offices in Colombia, South America, and India. The Company’s filings are available on www.sec.gov. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 8 Table of Contents NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying as of March 31, 2026 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) within its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2025, contained in the Company’s transition report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2026, specifically in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Principles of consolidation The interim statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. In the event of the liquidation of foreign subsidiaries, the cumulative translation adjustment is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to accumulated deficit through earnings. (“ASC 830-30-40-1”). Presentation and functional currencies IGC operates in the U.S., India, and Colombia, and a substantial portion of the Company’s financials are denominated in the Indian Rupee (“INR”), or the Colombian Peso (“COP”). As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. Dollar (“USD”), the INR, or the COP affect our financial statements. The accompanying financial statements are reported in USD. The INR and COP are the functional currencies for certain subsidiaries of the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into USD is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to the reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Going Concern The Company assesses and determines its ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 205-40, “ Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern ”, which requires the Company to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently in the clinical trial stage and has not yet achieved profitability. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flow from operations, in the near future. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $ 2.4 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company raised approximately $ 60 thousand through private placements and approximately $ 623 thousand in net proceeds from loans. The at-the-market program and the Master Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with O-Bank, Co., Ltd., serve to minimize ongoing liquidity requirements and ensure the Company’s ability to sustain its operations. The Company has taken several steps to extend its operational runway, including narrowing its strategic focus to Life Sciences and managing clinical development expenses with a disciplined approach. While management believes these actions improve the Company’s financial position, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 9 Table of Contents During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into the 2026 Securities Purchase Agreements (“2026 SPAs”) with multiple investors, relating to the sale and issuance by our Company to the investors of an aggregate of 172,414 shares of our common stock, for a total purchase price of $ 50 thousand, or $ 0.29 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2026 SPAs. The investments are subject to customary closing conditions, including NYSE approval. On January 5, 2026, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “2025 Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors named therein, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 779,997 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $ 0.30 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $ 234 thousand, before deducting the Company’s estimated offering expenses. On March 5, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “VFG Purchase Agreement”) with Vanquish Funding Group Inc. (“VFG”), pursuant to which the Company issued a promissory note (the “VFG Note”) with a principal amount of approximately $353 thousand, including an original issue discount of approximately $46 thousand. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $307 thousand before debt issuance costs of approximately $25 thousand, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $282 thousand. The VFG Note matures on February 28, 2027. The Company may prepay the VFG Note in full at any time upon prior written notice to VFG. Solely upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, VFG has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the VFG Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversion is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% and a 19.99% share issuance cap, unless stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with applicable NYSE American rules. As of March 31, 2026, the full principal amount of the VFG Note of approximately $353 thousand remained outstanding, with no principal payments having been made. On February 2, 2026, the Company, through its subsidiary HH Processors, LLC, entered into a loan agreement with ODK Capital LLC (“OnDeck”), pursuant to which the Company received approximately $ 214 thousand in financing (the “OnDeck Loan”). The OnDeck Loan bears interest and is repayable in periodic installments in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the loan agreement, approximately $ 3 thousand per week. The OnDeck Loan matures on August 2, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total outstanding debt of approximately $ 917 thousand. For additional information, see Note 11, “Loans and Other Liabilities,” and Note 13, “Securities” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company estimates that its current cash and cash equivalents balance, with the investments, and with an available overdraft facility of $ 12 million from O-Bank, is sufficient to support operations for at least the next twelve months following the date these consolidated financial statements and footnotes were issued. These estimates are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 10 Table of Contents Accounts receivable We make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable by analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required. We had $ 37 thousand of accounts receivable, as of March 31, 2026, with no allowance for doubtful accounts, as compared to $ 12 thousand of accounts receivable, net of provision for the doubtful debt of $ 8 thousand as of December 31, 2025. Current Investments Current investments consist of marketable securities, including exchange-traded products (“ETPs”), that the Company intends to hold for less than one year. These investments are classified as equity securities under ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities and are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). Changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, Current investments consisted of approximately $ 28 thousand in a U.S.-listed digital asset ETP. The Company does not directly hold cryptocurrencies or other digital tokens. Intangible assets The Company’s intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Intangible assets having indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. We perform an impairment analysis on December 1 annually on the indefinite-lived intangible assets following the steps laid out in ASC 350-30-35-18. Our annual impairment analysis includes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing a qualitative assessment, we review events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine if the fair value is less than the carrying value of the intangible assets. If quantitative analysis is necessary, we would analyze various aspects including revenues from the business, associated with the intangible assets. In addition, intangible assets will be tested on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. The Company has analyzed a variety of factors on its business to determine if a circumstance could trigger an impairment loss, and, at this time and based on the information presently known, does not believe it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-21, definite-lived intangibles are reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, to assess whether their fair value exceeds their carrying value. The Company intends to capitalize trademarks and related expenses exceeding $2,500 per trademark. ASU 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-08, which requires certain crypto assets to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. The amendments also require separate presentation of crypto assets measured at fair value and provide for additional disclosure requirements, including a roll-forward of activity, cost basis, and any restrictions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Subject to the provisions of ASU 2023-08, although the Company did not hold any crypto assets directly, the Company adopted ASU 2023-08 in the first quarter of its fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and will apply its provisions to any direct holdings of in-scope crypto assets. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements at the date of adoption, but the presentation of any crypto asset holdings will be subject to the measurement and disclosure requirements of the new standard. Software Development Costs The Company is developing three proprietary software platforms intended to be commercialized: - 1. A clinical data management platform designed for the collection, analysis, and real-time monitoring of clinical trial data; and | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 11 Table of Contents 2. MINT- AD – An AI-driven diagnostic and treatment personalization platform aimed at assisting in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and providing data-informed therapeutic suggestions. 3. Agentic Harmonization Assistant (“AHA”) to support of MINT-AD and the Company’s broader AI research and development efforts, IGC Pharma has and is developing AHA, an agentic analytics and data harmonization architecture designed to support large-scale Alzheimer’s disease research. In accordance with ASC 985-20, Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, and ASC 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes development costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established (for software to be marketed) or when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and used as intended (for internal-use software). Costs incurred during the research and planning phase are expensed as incurred. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Capitalized costs include direct labor, third-party development services, cloud computing infrastructure directly related to model development and deployment, and associated overhead. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, typically five to ten years , beginning when the software is ready for its intended commercial use. As of quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company capitalized approximately $ 1.6 million in software development costs. For more information, please refer to Note 5, “Intangible Assets”. Loss per share The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, excludes potentially dilutive securities of approximately 20 million shares, which include share options, unvested shares such as restricted share awards and units, granted to directors, employees, non-employees, and advisors, and shares from the conversion of outstanding units, if any, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, used for the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”), is 98,161,733 and 79,658,429 , respectively. Due to the loss incurred by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, all the potential equity shares are anti-dilutive, and accordingly, the fully diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS. Cybersecurity The Company maintains a cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks from cybersecurity threats. The Company’s cybersecurity program, governance framework, and board oversight are described in Item 1C of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the Company’s cybersecurity risk management program during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the period, the Company did not identify any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of this standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 12 Table of Contents ASC 606 prescribes a 5-step process to achieve its core principle. The Company recognizes revenue from trading, rental, or product sales as follows: I. Identify the contract with the customer. II. Identify the contractual performance obligations. III. Determine the amount of consideration/price for the transaction. IV. Allocate the determined amount of consideration/price to the performance obligations. V. Recognize revenue when or as the performing party satisfies performance obligations. The consideration/price for the transaction (performance obligation(s)) is determined as per the agreement or invoice (contract) for the services and products in the Life Sciences segment. In the Life Sciences segment, the revenue from the wellness and lifestyle business is recognized once goods have been sold to the customer and the performance obligation has been completed. In retail sales, we offer consumer products through our online stores. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This generally occurs upon our delivery to a third-party carrier or to the customer directly. Revenue from white-label services is recognized when the performance obligation has been completed, and output material has been transferred to the customer. Net sales disaggregated by significant products and services for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 are as follows: (in thousands) Three months ended March 31, 2026 ($) 2025 ($) Life Sciences segment Wellness and lifestyle (1) 23 12 White labeling services (2) 294 318 Total 317 330 (1) Revenue from wellness and lifestyle consists of the sale of products and services.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments eliminate the project-stage framework for capitalizing internal-use software costs and require capitalization when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and used as intended. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2025-06 effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis, including entities with a single reportable segment. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, on a retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in expanded disclosures in Note 16, “Segment Information”, including the presentation of significant expense categories reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, but did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 13 Table of Contents NOTE 3 – INVENTORY (in thousands) As of March 31, 2026 (Unaudited) ($) As of December 31, 2025 (Audited) ($) Raw materials 447 446 Finished goods 191 194 Total 638 640 No write-offs were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

NOTE 16 – SEGMENT INFORMATION FASB ASC 280, “ Segment Reporting, ” establishes standards for reporting information about reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause differences include those discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections and discussed elsewhere in this report. The risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ significantly from those in our forward-looking statements or implied in historical results and trends. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us, which speak only as of the date they are made. We disclaim any obligation, except as expressly required by law and the rules of the SEC, to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in our expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those outlined in the forward-looking statements. Overview IGC Pharma, Inc. (“IGC,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapeutic candidates for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, with a primary emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease. Our core strategy is to address high-burden symptoms and underlying disease mechanisms through differentiated pharmaceutical formulations, supported by targeted clinical development and data-driven research approaches. Our lead product candidate, IGC-AD1 , is currently being evaluated in the CALMA clinical trial for the treatment of agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia, a neuropsychiatric condition affecting a substantial proportion of patients and associated with significant patient distress, caregiver burden, and healthcare utilization. In addition to symptom management, preclinical studies of IGC-AD1 suggest activity against biological pathways associated with Alzheimer’s disease pathology, supporting its potential evaluation in broader disease-modifying contexts. Beyond IGC-AD1, our development pipeline includes additional early-stage therapeutic candidates targeting Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms, including TGR-63 and other investigational compounds currently in preclinical evaluation. These programs are intended to expand our long-term development portfolio while maintaining a disciplined focus on clinical execution and capital efficiency. The Company is also developing MINT-AD , a proprietary, artificial intelligence, enabled data platform designed to support risk stratification and longitudinal assessment in Alzheimer’s disease using multimodal datasets. MINT-AD is intended as a clinical and research decision-support tool and is not currently approved as a diagnostic device. Life Sciences Segment IGC Pharma, a clinical-stage company developing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, is committed to transforming patient care by striving to offer faster acting and more effective solutions. Our lead drug, IGC-AD1, embodies this vision by tackling a critical challenge – managing agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia. Early results from our CALMA trial are promising: IGC-AD1 effectively reduced agitation in patients compared to a placebo, and crucially, it did so faster than traditional medications. While existing anti-psychotics can take as long 6 to 12 weeks to show effects, we believe IGC-AD1 has the potential to act within two weeks. This potentially faster onset of action could significantly improve patient care and represents a potential breakthrough in managing Alzheimer’s-related agitation, although there can be no assurance thereof. In addition, we have created in-house wellness brands, available through online channels that are compliant with relevant federal, state, and local laws and regulations. We derive revenue from our in-house wellness non-pharmaceutical formulations that are sold over-the counter (“OTC”). MINT-AD – Artificial Intelligence Platform Overview The Company is developing a proprietary Multimodal Interpretable Transformer for Alzheimer’s Disease (“MINT-AD”). MINT-AD is an artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform designed to enhance the detection and management of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) by providing clinicians with scalable, interpretable, and predictive diagnostic support. The platform is engineered to transition AD diagnostics from specialized, high-cost environments—such as neurology clinics utilizing Positron Emission Tomography (“PET”) scans—to primary care settings, rural areas, and underserved populations, although there is no assurance we will be successful in this regard. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 23 Table of Contents The Market Opportunity and Diagnostic Gap According to the World Alzheimer Report, an estimated 400 million individuals globally may carry AD-related pathology prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. Currently, a significant “diagnostic gap” exists due to a lack of accessible early-detection tools for primary care physicians. This gap leads to delayed diagnoses, reduced eligibility for clinical trials, and sub-optimal patient outcomes. MINT-AD is intended to bridge this gap by offering a cost-effective, non-invasive alternative for early cognitive risk assessment. Proprietary Technology and Architecture MINT-AD leverages a “Transformer” architecture—a state-of-the-art deep learning model—to harmonize and analyze diverse, multimodal datasets. The platform processes a wide array of data sources to produce clinically actionable insights, including: ● Neuroimaging and Biomarkers: High-resolution brain scans and genetic risk factors; ● Lifestyle and Environmental Data: Social determinants of health and longitudinal patient history; and ● Cognitive Metrics: Quantitative performance data and clinical observations. Use of MINT-AD The Company is aiming to position MINT-AD as a practical, AI-driven assistant for healthcare providers. The platform is designed to support the clinical workflow through three primary objectives: o Risk Stratification – Utilizing AI to analyze multimodal data and identify individuals at high risk of Alzheimer’s disease. This enables physicians to prioritize screening for at-risk patients within their practice, particularly in settings where access to specialists and expensive neuroimaging is limited; o Predictive Modeling – Forecasting cognitive decline trajectories two to five years in advance. By identifying potential decline before clinical symptoms manifest, MINT-AD provides a window for early intervention, preventative care strategies, and timely enrollment in clinical trials; and o Structured Plan Support – Assisting the clinician in creating a structured intervention plan for the individual. This step moves beyond diagnosis by leveraging the platform’s interpretable insights to help physicians tailor personalized care plans, monitor disease progression, and manage long-term patient outcomes. Our Business Strategy The business strategy includes: ● Completing the CALMA trial. ● Completing Agentic Harmonization Assistant (“AHA”) and MINT-AD. ● Advancing tox studies to enable disease modifying trials with IGC-AD1. ● Applying for non-dilutive grants. ● Advancing TGR-63 as a potential therapeutic for AD. ● Strengthening clinical credibility and visibility. We believe developing a drug for both symptom and disease-modifying agents has less risk due to the need for expensive multi-year trials. However, there is considerable upside and significant value creation to the extent we obtain a first-in-class advantage, of which there can be no assurance. If we were to obtain a first-in-class advantage, such an advantage could result in significant growth if and when an approved drug such as IGC-AD1 launches. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 24 Table of Contents We believe that additional investment in clinical trials, AI, R&D, facilities, marketing, advertising, and the acquisition of complementary products and businesses will be critical to the ongoing growth of the Life Sciences segment. Although there can be no assurance, we believe these investments will fuel the development and delivery of innovative products that drive positive patient and customer experiences. We hope to leverage our R&D and intellectual property to develop ground-breaking, science-based products that are proven effective through clinical trials, subject to FDA approval. Although there can be no assurance, we believe this strategy can improve our existing products and lead to the creation of new products that can provide treatment options for multiple conditions, symptoms, and side effects. Management is committed to its core short-term goals, completion of the CALMA trial on IGC-AD1, and deploying AHA and MINT-AD. The Global Economic Environment In addition to the industry-specific factors, such as regulations around cannabinoid research, we are exposed to economic cycles. Factors in the global economic environment that may impact our operations include, among other things, currency fluctuations, capital and exchange controls, global economic conditions including inflation, restrictive government actions, changes in intellectual property, legal protections and remedies, trade regulations, tax laws and regulations and procedures and actions affecting approval, production, pricing, and marketing of our products, as well as impacts of political or civil unrest or military action, terrorist activity, unstable governments, and legal systems, inter-governmental disputes, public health outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters or disruptions related to climate change. Business Updates During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company continued to advance the CALMA clinical trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. ● On March 30, 2026, the Company announced a strategic 12-part national media partnership with New to The Street, a leading financial media platform known for its integrated investor engagement and national television distribution. The collaboration is designed to enhance IGC Pharma’s visibility across both institutional and retail investor audiences through a coordinated, multi-channel media strategy. ● On March 18, 2026, the Company announced that it will demonstrate its AHA, an artificial intelligence platform designed to automate the integration and analysis of complex biomedical datasets, at the Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Diseases Conference (“ADPD”) 2026. Participation in ADPD reflects the Company’s broader strategy of integrating artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics, and therapeutic development to accelerate innovation in Alzheimer’s disease. ● On February 26, 2026, the Company today announced the filing of utility patent applications covering the architectural framework of its AHA, an internally developed AI-based data harmonization system. ● On February 23, 2026, the Company announced the addition of Visionary Investigators Network (“VIN”) as a clinical research site participating in the Company’s Phase 2 CALMA trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease dementia. ● On February 17, 2026, the Company announced that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (“CIPO”) has issued a Notice of Allowance covering the proprietary composition underlying IGC-AD1, the Company’s Phase 2 clinical stage program for agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. ● On February 9, 2026, the Company announced the expansion of its Phase 2 CALMA trial for IGC-AD1 into Colombia, South America, through the addition of Grupo de Neurociencias de Antioquia (“GNA”). This expansion marks a pivotal operational milestone as IGC enters a region internationally recognized for its unique, genetically linked Alzheimer’s population. ● On February 2, 2026, the Company reported it has reached approximately 70% of planned patient enrollment in its Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. ● On January 22, 2026, the Company announced the addition of Integrative Clinical Trials, LLC, located in Brooklyn, New York, as a new clinical site participating in the Company’s Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. ● On January 12, 2026, the Company announced the addition of Dominion Medical Associates, Inc., a Richmond, Virginia–based clinical research site within Lightship’s site network, to the Company’s Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for the treatment of agitation in Alzheimer’s disease. ● On January 5, 2026, the Company announced that it has entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “2025 SA”) with a group of investors for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 779,997 shares of common stock in a registered direct offering, at a purchase price of $0.30 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering are expected to be approximately $234,000, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Clinical trial activities are subject to inherent uncertainties, including patient enrollment rates, protocol adherence, regulatory oversight, and data integrity, any of which could materially affect trial timelines or results. The CALMA trial remains ongoing to complete 146 patients. Subsequent to March 2026, the Company has completed approximately 80% patient enrollment in its Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for agitation associated with AD. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 25 Table of Contents Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025 The historical results presented below are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. The following table presents an overview of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025: Statement of Operations (in thousands, unaudited) Three months ended March 31, Change Percent 2026($) 2025($) ($) Change Revenue 317 330 (13 ) (4 )% Cost of revenue (262 ) (176 ) (86 ) 49 % Gross profit 55 154 (99 ) (64 )% Selling, general, and administrative expenses (1,241 ) (570 ) (671 ) 118 % Research and development expenses (1,272 ) (997 ) (275 ) 28 % Operating loss (2,458 ) (1,413 ) (1,045 ) 74 % Other income, net 56 215 (159 ) (74 )% Loss before income taxes (2,402 ) (1,198 ) (1,204 ) 101 % Income tax expense/benefit - - - - Net loss (2,402 ) (1,198 ) (1,204 ) 101 % Revenue – Revenue was approximately $317 thousand and $330 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Revenue in both quarters was primarily derived from our Life Sciences segment, encompassing the sale of our formulations as white-labeled manufactured products, among others. There is a decrease in revenue as our core focus is on advancing IGC-AD1, completing the Phase 2 trial, and developing MINT-AD for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue amounted to approximately $262 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $176 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This represents gross margins of 17% and 47%, respectively. The cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the cost of raw materials, labor, and other direct overheads required to produce our products in the Life Sciences segment. Typically, the gross margin in the Life Sciences business will fluctuate from one quarter to the next based on the mix among white-label, private-label, and branded products. There is insufficient revenue to model or project gross margins. In the near term, the Company expects gross margins to remain lower than historical levels as operations stabilize and supply chain arrangements are transitioned to third-party manufacturers. While the transition may result in a temporary reduction in gross margins, management believes the transaction provides long-term operational efficiencies and improved financial flexibility. Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) – SG&A expenses primarily encompass various costs such as employee-related expenses, sales commissions, professional fees, legal fees, marketing expenses, other corporate expenses, allocated general overhead, provisions, depreciation, and write-offs related to doubtful accounts and advances. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, SG&A expenses increased by approximately $671 thousand or 118% to approximately $1.2 million as compared to approximately $570 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $671 thousand is attributed to an absence of a $700 thousand credit recognized in the prior-year period related to the conversion of accrued cash bonuses into performance-based compensation by the Board of Directors. In addition, the increase of approximately $127 thousand related to stock-based compensation was offset by decreases of approximately $98 thousand in operating expenses. Research and Development expenses (“R&D”) – R&D expenses were attributed to our Life Sciences segment. The R&D expenses increased by approximately $275 thousand or 28% to approximately $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, from approximately $997 thousand, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. It is primarily attributable to the progression of CALMA trials on IGC-AD1 and pre-clinical studies on the other small molecule assets. We anticipate increased R&D expenses as the development of our other small molecule assets targeting Alzheimer’s and the CALMA trial on Alzheimer’s expands. Other income, net – Other net income decreased by approximately $159 thousand or 74% during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As a result, the total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 is approximately $56 thousand and $215 thousand, respectively. Other income includes interest and rental income, dividend income, profit from the sale of assets, unrealized gains from investments, net income, and income from scrap sales. The primary reason for the decrease is a one-time tax credit of approximately $194 thousand that the Company received during the three months ended March 31, 2025. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 26 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources Our sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, funds raised through the ATM offering, cash flows from operations, current and non-current borrowings, and short-term liquidity arrangements. The Company continues to evaluate various financing sources and options to raise working capital to help fund current research and development programs and operations. The Company does not have any material non-current debt, capital lease obligations, or other non-current liabilities except as disclosed in this report. Please refer to Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies,” and Note 11, “Loans and Other Liabilities,” in Item 1 of this report for further information on the Company’s commitments and contractual obligations. Pursuant to the Master Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with O-Bank, Co., Ltd., the Company successfully obtained a working capital credit facility totaling $12 million. In addition, the Company has executed Securities Purchase Agreements (“2026 SPAs”) with multiple investors, relating to the sale and issuance by our company to the investors of an aggregate of 172,414 shares of our common stock, for a total purchase price of $50,000, or $0.29 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2026 SPAs. The equity transactions and the credit facility serve to minimize ongoing liquidity requirements and ensure the Company’s ability to sustain its operations. On October 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $60 million, subject to certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by the Company set forth in the Sales Agreement (the “Offering”). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had raised approximately $4.5 million under the $60 million Sales Agreement. The Company is subject to the limitations of Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3, which limits offerings to one-third of the aggregate market value of the Company’s public float in any 12-month period. Based on the Company’s public float as of September 3, 2025, the available capacity under the Sales Agreement is approximately $4.7 million. On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold assets associated with its Vancouver, Washington facility for approximately $2.7 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The facility had previously generated an annual net cash outflow of approximately $600 thousand from fixed overhead and non-core manufacturing operations. The sale eliminates the recurring cash loss while preserving preferential supply rights that allow the Company to continue sourcing formulations at competitive pricing from calendar year 2028. The Company also retains a contingent 10% interest in any future sale of the business by the Buyer. For more information, please refer to Note 6, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” and Item 5 – “Other Information”. On January 5, 2026, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “2026 Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors named therein, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 779,997 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $0.30 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $234 thousand, before deducting the Company’s estimated offering expenses. In addition to it, on February 2, 2026, the Company, through its subsidiary HH Processors, LLC, entered into a loan agreement with ODK Capital LLC (“OnDeck”), pursuant to which the Company received approximately $214 thousand in financing (the “OnDeck Loan”).

Working capital deficit increased by approximately $1.4 million to $1.7 million as of March 31, 2026, from approximately $366 thousand as of December 31, 2025. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily driven by operating cash consumption and current borrowings during the quarter.

Management prioritizes the preservation of cash and cash equivalents and the disciplined deployment of capital toward activities that advance the Company’s pipeline. During the transition period ended December 31, 2025, the Company invested approximately $50 thousand in a U.S.-listed ETP linked to digital assets as part of an initial assessment of treasury diversification alternatives. As of March 31, 2026, this investment was valued at approximately $28 thousand, reflecting a decline in fair value of approximately $22 thousand. The Company does not currently hold any digital assets directly. Any future treasury allocation decisions will be evaluated in the context of the Company’s liquidity requirements, clinical development milestones, and the availability of capital as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above. Digital asset investments involve significant volatility risk, as discussed in Item 1A — “Risk Factors”. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K. While the Company has derivative liabilities related to embedded conversion features in certain convertible notes, please refer to Note 11, “Loans and Other Liabilities”. These instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. Critical Accounting Policies While all accounting policies impact financial statements, certain policies may be viewed as critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. In addition to the policies described below, our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of our 2025 Form 10-KT. Our management believes that the following policy falls within this category, in addition to the policies on going concern, revenue recognition, inventory, accounts receivable, foreign currency translation, impairment of long-lived assets and investments, stock-based compensation, and cybersecurity: Digital Asset Investments As of March 31, 2026, the Company invested approximately $50 thousand in a U.S.-listed digital asset through an ETP, which was valued at approximately $28 thousand. The investment is classified as a current marketable security and is marked to market each period. The Company does not directly hold cryptocurrencies or other digital tokens. Holdings in ETPs will be accounted for as equity securities under ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, and measured at fair value with changes recognized in earnings. Fair value will be determined using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs). For direct holdings of digital assets, the Company will present in the notes a roll-forward of activity, including the opening balance, additions, dispositions, gains and losses recognized during the period, and the ending balance, as well as any significant concentrations and restrictions. Please see our disclosures in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-KT, as well as Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2025 Form 10-KT, for a discussion of all our critical and significant accounting policies. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Newly issued ASUs not listed are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations because either the ASU is not applicable, or the impact is expected to be immaterial. Recent accounting pronouncements that may apply to us are described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of our 2025 Form 10-KT. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 30 Table of Contents Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Item 3 does not apply to us because we are a smaller reporting company. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our Management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated our “internal control over financial reporting” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) to determine whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 31 Table of Contents PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. There have been no material developments in the legal proceedings previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, of our Annual Report on Transition Form 10-KT for the transition period ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-KT”). For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please refer to the 2025 Form 10-KT. Item 1A. Risk Factors The following are the material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the period ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2026. Risks Related to Our Clinical Development and IGC-AD1 Our business is highly dependent on the successful development of our lead product candidate, IGC-AD1, and we may not successfully complete clinical development or obtain regulatory approval. Our ability to advance IGC-AD1 depends on the successful execution and completion of our ongoing Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial. We may experience delays in patient enrollment, including failure to achieve targeted enrollment within expected timelines, or at all. Clinical trials are inherently complex and subject to numerous risks, including delays in site initiation, variability in site performance, patient recruitment challenges, protocol deviations, and unforeseen operational or logistical issues. Any such delays could increase development costs, extend timelines, and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Even if we complete the CALMA clinical trial, the results may not demonstrate sufficient safety, tolerability, or efficacy to support continued development or regulatory approval. Clinical trial outcomes are inherently uncertain and may be influenced by factors including trial design, statistical assumptions, patient population characteristics, dosing regimens, and variability in individual patient responses. Negative or inconclusive results could delay or prevent further development and materially adversely affect the value of IGC-AD1. The timing of key clinical milestones, including database lock and the availability of topline data, is uncertain and subject to change. Delays in data collection, data cleaning, monitoring, or analysis could postpone the release of clinical results, which may adversely affect investor expectations, our stock price, and our ability to raise capital. We may not obtain regulatory approval for IGC-AD1. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and other regulatory authorities may require additional preclinical or clinical studies, impose delays in the review process, or determine that our data are insufficient to support approval. Regulatory requirements are evolving and may change during the course of development. Failure to obtain regulatory approval would prevent us from commercializing IGC-AD1 and could materially adversely affect our business. We will require substantial additional capital to continue the development of IGC-AD1 and our other product candidates. Our ability to obtain financing depends on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, and such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to secure sufficient funding, we may be required to delay, scale back, or discontinue our development programs. The biopharmaceutical industry is highly competitive, and our product candidates may face significant competition. Competing therapies, including those currently approved or under development for Alzheimer’s disease or agitation, may demonstrate superior efficacy, safety, or cost-effectiveness. In addition, changes in the standard of care could reduce the commercial opportunity for IGC-AD1, even if approved. We are developing and utilizing artificial intelligence and data-driven tools, including our MINT-AD platform, to support research and development activities. These technologies are emerging and subject to significant technical, regulatory, and operational risks. They may not perform as expected, may produce inaccurate or non-generalizable results, and may be subject to evolving regulatory oversight, including potential FDA regulation of software-based tools. Any limitations or failures of these technologies could adversely affect our clinical development efforts. Our operations and clinical development activities may also be adversely affected by general economic and geopolitical conditions, including supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, regulatory changes, and global market volatility. These factors may impact clinical trial execution, access to clinical sites and personnel, and overall development timelines. Risks Related to Our Convertible Debt Instruments The Company has issued convertible promissory notes that contain variable-rate conversion features, which could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, the holders of these notes may convert outstanding amounts into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to a discount to the market price, including at 75% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during a specified period preceding conversion. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate principal amount of such convertible instruments was approximately $353 thousand. Conversions at discounted prices may result in the issuance of a significant number of shares, particularly in periods of stock price volatility or decline, which could materially dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. Although these instruments include a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and a 19.99% share issuance cap in compliance with applicable NYSE American listing standards, such limitations may not prevent substantial dilution over time, particularly if conversions occur in multiple transactions or if stockholder approval is obtained to exceed applicable thresholds. In addition, the existence of these convertible instruments may create downward pressure on the trading price of the Company’s common stock, limit the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, and could result in increased volatility in the market price of its securities. | March 31, 2026, Form 10-Q 32 Table of Contents Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds On March 5, 2026, the Company issued a promissory note to VFG with a principal amount of approximately $353 thousand, maturing on February 28, 2027. The VFG Note was issued with an original issue discount of approximately $46 thousand and debt issuance costs of approximately $25 thousand, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $282 thousand. The note is convertible, upon the occurrence of certain events, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion price. Any shares issuable upon conversion of the note will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The terms of the transaction, including conversion limitations and other material provisions, are more fully described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026. The transactions described above are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Item 3.
