ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of December 31, 2025, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. Management concluded that a material weakness existed related to:
●
Lack of segregation of duties due to limited accounting personnel.
●
Lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels review over financial disclosure and reporting processes.
The Company is taking steps to enhance its internal control environment and expects to remediate all weaknesses listed above as additional resources become available. We have adopted a specific remediation plan, including:
●
Retaining additional accounting personnel with public company financial reporting, technical accounting, SEC compliance, and strategic financial advisory experience to achieve adequate segregation of duties;
●
Implementing multiple level reviews over financial disclosure and reporting processes
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to enable timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the SEC. Our management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and there is no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will operate effectively under all circumstances.
Other than material weakness and remediation efforts described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 28, 2026, the C ompany entered into a Related Party Unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Fang Family Fund, LLC – Series I (the “Holder”). The Holder is a “related person” within the meaning of Item 404 (a) of Regulation S-K by virtue of being an affiliate of Richard Fang, a current member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Pursuant to the Related Party Transactions Policy of the Company (the “Policy”), the Audit Committee and other disinterested members of the Board approved the Note in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Policy.
The Note provides for principal of up to an aggregate of $0.7 million (the “Maximum Principal Amount”), and the Company received $0.7 million in proceeds from the Holder. Amounts outstanding under the Note bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.00% per annum, compounded annually. Interest is payable in kind on each quarterly anniversary of the Note’s date, although the Company may, at its option, pay interest in cash on any interest payment date. The outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest are payable in cash on February 28, 2027 ( the “Maturity Date”). The Company may, with the Holder’s written consent, extend the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay the Note at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
The Note requires mandatory prepayment upon the consummation by the Company or any subsidiary of a Qualified Financing, defined as an equity or equity-linked financing for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5 million. Upon a Qualified Financing, the Company must prepay the then-outstanding principal together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due under the Note on the closing date of such financing or, if the Company retains proceeds sufficient to fund at least $2.0 million of post-closing working capital after payment of reasonable transaction fees and expenses, no later than the first Business Day following the Company’s receipt of the remaining proceeds. Mandatory prepayment is subject to any applicable intercreditor arrangements and is not intended to contravene any then-existing senior secured debt facility; the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents.

The Note is unsecured and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all other unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness of the Company. Events of default under the Note include failure to pay when due (subject to a 30 -day cure period for nonpayment), dissolution or cessation of operations, and certain bankruptcy or insolvency events. The Note also includes customary information, inspection, confidentiality, and other provisions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Note for short-term liquidity needs and other business expenses, including those that may be incurred in pursuing additional equity financing.
The Note contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that the Company considers customary for an agreement of this type and on terms fair to, or no less favorable to, terms the Company than could have obtained in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated party. The foregoing summary of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.59 to this Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Controlled Company Exemptions
Hunniwell controls a majority of the voting power of the outstanding common stock. As a result of Hunniwell’s voting control, Hunniwell will effectively be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors. Hunniwell is governed by three managers, Dr. Richard Fang, Daniel Teo and Chris Hsieh. Dr. Richard Fang serves as a director. As a result, they are effectively able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election and removal of directors, and combined with their membership on the Board, effectively control mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends and other matters of corporate or management policy. This concentration of ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control and limit the liquidity of the trading market for common stock, which may reduce the value of an investment in such shares.
Additionally, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable NYSE rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:
●
that a majority of the board consists of independent directors;
●
for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;
●
that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
●
that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.
Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of NYSE. See the section entitled “ Risk Factors – Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities – We are a “ controlled company ” within the meaning of the applicable rules of NYSE and, as a result, qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. ”

None of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any legal proceedings described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K during the past ten years.
Committees of Our Board of Directors
The Board has an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

Equity Incentive Awards

The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan included an initial share reserve of 5,565,159 shares of our common stock available for issuance via future grants made under the plan. On July 1, 2024, an increase of an additional 2,829,200 share reserve under the plan was approved. On October 10, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Incentive Plan”) to (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to a total of 18,000,000 shares, (ii) include warrant as a type of awards issuable under the Amended Incentive Plan, and (iii) to ratify the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The awards described below have been adjusted to reflect the Stock Split. On June 28, 2024, we granted the following stock option awards (intended to be incentive stock options under Code Section 422 ) to the NEOs: 2,378,124 options to Patrick Schnegelsberg, with a vesting commencement date of July 5, 2023, 102,239 options and 408,956 options to Bernard Skaggs, with a vesting commencement date of February 21, 2023 and November 27, 2023, respectively, and 102,239 options, 408,956 options and 68,608 options to Matt Schuster, with a vesting commencement date of May 29, 2023, November 27, 2023, and May 29, 2023, respectively (the “2024 Options”). One quarter of the options cliff vest upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remaining options vest ratably in equal monthly installments over the 36 months following the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, generally subject to the continued service of the NEO through each applicable vesting date. As of December 31, 2025, Patrick Schnegelsberg was vested in 1,436,783 options, Bernard Skaggs was vested in 285,416 options, and Matt Schuster was vested in 323,335 options. The grant date fair value of the options is in the table above.
If in connection with a Change of Control (as defined under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan), and the acquiring entity fails to assume, replace, fully accelerate, cash out, or substitute the 2022 Options, then provided the NEO has remained in continued service through such Change of Control, we will accelerate the vesting of all then-unvested 2022 Options.
For purposes of this section, “Change of Control” means the transaction(s) which results in (i) a change in more than 50% of the combined voting power of our then outstanding shares, (ii) a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction which results in our stockholders owning less than 50% of ( x ) our voting shares thereafter or (y) the surviving parent entity’s voting power, or (iii) sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets and our subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets and our subsidiaries to a person or entity, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by our stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of our outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition.

The Company will provide each such officer with a written notice of such amount and a demand for repayment or return.

FFF Convertible Note: Effective July 2, 2024, all loans outstanding as of June 20, 2024, from Richard Fang, Fang Family Fund, LLC and Fang Family Fund II, LLC, were consolidated into one loan with a total principal amount of approximately $7.0 million. This loan accrues simple interest at the rate of 6% per annum, and is repayable after six months, unless amended. However, in the event of an initial public offering, while the loan remains outstanding, all principal, together with all unpaid accrued interest, would be automatically converted into common stock of the Company at a 77% discount to the lowest price per share paid by the other purchasers of the equity securities in the initial public offering. The Company evaluated the modification of the notes under ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined that the notes were extinguished due to the addition of a substantive conversion option. There was no gain or loss from the debt extinguishment. The Company determined that the conversion feature on the convertible note met the definition of an embedded derivative that was required to be bifurcated recorded the fair value of the derivative liability at issuance of approximately $2.0 million as a debt discount to this convertible note and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $22,000 and $1,970,000, respectively. On November 12, 2024, Richard Fang, former Chief Executive Officer and current director, has donated the $7.0 million aggregated convertible note, dated July 2, 2024, and the related accrued interest, to the unrelated not-for-profit organizations, Nexus Science Foundation Inc.

At the IPO, Nexus and Another Dimension each received 4,054,517 common shares.

A “Related Party Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement, or relationship in which we or any of our subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 per year or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any Related Party had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “Related Party” means:
●
any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our officers or one of our directors;
●
any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock; and
●
any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, executive officer or a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock.
We have policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings we may have with our affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time. Specifically, pursuant to our charter, the audit committee has the responsibility to review related party transactions.
