Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor (“MCR”) system. The Company’s product candidates are targeted, receptor-specific therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential. Melanocortin Receptor System. The MCR system has effects on food intake, metabolism, sexual function, inflammation, and immune system responses. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1R through MC5R. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have significant pharmacological effects. The Company’s product development activities focus primarily on use of MC4R agonists for treatment of obesity, with a primary focus on rare neuroendocrine diseases. The Company is developing MC4R small molecule agonists and peptide agonists with potential utility in obesity and metabolic-related disorders, rare MC4R pathway diseases, such as hypothalamic obesity, Prader-Willi syndrome, and other orphan indications. The Company is also developing, dependent on resources for development activities, MC1R agonist products with potential to treat ocular diseases and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as uveitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. A product candidate MC1R agonist for treatment of dry eye disease, known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, has been licensed to a third party, and a family of MC1R compounds for treatment of retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema, has been licensed to Boehringer Ingelheim. The Company believes that the MC1R agonist peptides in development have broad anti-inflammatory effects and appear to utilize mechanisms engaged by the endogenous melanocortin system in regulation of the immune system and resolution of inflammatory responses. The Company’s prior commercial product, Vyleesi®, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in June 2019 for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in premenopausal women. Vyleesi was initially licensed to AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in January 2017, terminated July 2020, and subsequently sold to Cosette Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Cosette”) in December 2023. Reverse Stock Split - On August 11, 2025, a reverse stock split of 1-for-50 of issued and outstanding common stock was made effective by the Company. Retroactive effect for the reverse stock split was made to the Company’s outstanding common stock, stock options, common stock warrants, and preferred stock conversion features, including all share and per-share data, for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Business Risks and Liquidity – The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and will need additional funding to complete its planned product development efforts. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025, of $ 461,660,226 and a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 of $ 7,263,861 and $ 2,586,327 , respectively. The Company anticipates incurring significant expenses in the future as a result of spending on its development programs and will require substantial additional financing or revenues to continue to fund its planned activities. To achieve sustained profitability, if ever, the Company, alone or with others, must successfully develop and commercialize its technologies and proposed products, conduct successful preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtain required regulatory approvals, and successfully manufacture and market such technologies and proposed products. The time required to achieve sustained profitability is highly uncertain, and the Company may never be able to achieve profitability on a sustained basis, if at all. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $ 14,476,162 and current liabilities were $ 6,332,648 . Management intends to utilize existing capital resources for general corporate purposes and working capital, including clinical development of the Company’s MC1R and MC4R programs, and development of other portfolio products. The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern , which requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. While the Company has raised funding in the past, the ability to raise funding in future periods is not considered probable, as defined under the accounting standards. As such, under the requirements of ASC 205-40, management may not consider the potential for future funding in their assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its obligations for the next year. 6 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Based on the Company’s current operating and development plans, the Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this filing will be sufficient to enable it to fund operations through the next twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. Concentrations – Concentrations in the Company’s assets and operations subject it to certain related risks. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in one investment account sponsored by a large financial institution. The Company’s revenue and accounts receivable are generated by one customer. (2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required to be presented for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations expected for the full fiscal year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which includes consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and for the fiscal years then ended. (3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned inactive subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash,Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and all highly liquid investments with a purchased maturity of less than three months. Cash equivalents consisted of $ 13,925,210 and $ 2,286,603 in a money market account at December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Management believes that the carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. Credit Risk – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents balances have exceeded balances insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Company. Segment Information – The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) assesses performance for its segment based on net loss, which is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The CODM uses cash forecast models in deciding how to invest into the segment. The CODM analyzes the Company’s net loss and monitors budget versus actual results to assess the performance of the Company. Property and Equipment – Property and equipment consists of office and laboratory equipment, office furniture, and leasehold improvements and includes assets acquired under finance leases. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally five years for laboratory and computer equipment, seven years for office furniture and equipment, and the lesser of the term of the lease or the useful life for leasehold improvements. Amortization of assets acquired under finance leases is included in depreciation expense. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. 7 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. Leases – At lease inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, short-term operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Finance leases are included in property and equipment for ROU assets, short-term finance lease liabilities, and long-term finance lease liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use leased assets over the term of the lease. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease if it is determinable. When the rate implicit in the lease is not determinable, the Company uses an estimate based on a hypothetical rate provided by a third party as the Company currently does not have issued debt. Lease terms may include renewal or extension options to the extent they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The assessment of whether renewal or extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised is made at lease commencement. Factors considered in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of any leasehold improvements, the value of renewal rates compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause incremental costs to the Company if the option were not exercised. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the ROU asset is subsequently amortized using the straight-line method from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of its useful life or the end of the lease term unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company or the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset. In those cases, the ROU asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset. Amortization of the ROU asset is recognized and presented as an operating expense separately from interest expense on the lease liability. The Company has elected not to recognize an ROU asset and obligation for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The expense associated with short-term leases is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. To the extent a lease arrangement includes both lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected to account for the components as a single lease component. On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into an office lease agreement at 304 Carnegie Center Drive in Princeton, New Jersey. In connection with the execution of the lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 248,718 in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue Recognition – For licenses of intellectual property, the Company assesses at contract inception whether the intellectual property is distinct from other performance obligations identified in the arrangement. If the licensing of intellectual property is determined to be distinct, revenue is recognized for non-refundable, upfront license fees when the license is transferred to the customer, and the customer can use and benefit from the license. If the licensing of intellectual property is determined not to be distinct, then the license is bundled with other promises in the arrangement into one performance obligation. The Company determines if the bundled performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the Company concludes that the non-refundable, upfront license fees will be recognized over time, the Company assesses the appropriate method of measuring proportional performance. 8 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Research, development and regulatory milestone payments are considered variable consideration subject to constraint and excluded from the transaction price until it is probable that a significant reversal would not occur. At each reporting period, the Company will assess whether there still is significant uncertainty associated with the variable consideration and revenue relating to the milestones recorded in the period where the significant uncertainty is resolved. Sales-based royalty and milestone payments resulting from customer contracts solely or predominately for the license of intellectual property will only be recognized upon occurrence of the underlying sale or achievement of the sales milestone in the future and such sales-based royalties and milestone payments will be recognized in the same period earned. The Company recognizes revenue for research and development services under customer agreements as the services are performed. The Company records these services as revenue and not as a reduction of research and development expenses as the Company is the principal in the research and development activities based upon its control of such activities, which is part of its ordinary activities. Research, development and regulatory milestone payments are generally due 30 business days after the milestone is achieved. Sales milestone payments are generally due 45 business days after the calendar year in which the sales milestone is achieved. Royalty payments are generally due on a quarterly basis 20 business days after being invoiced. Research and Development Costs – The costs of research and development activities are charged to expense as incurred, including the cost of equipment for which there is no alternative future use. Accrued Expenses – Third parties perform a significant portion of the Company’s development activities. The Company reviews the activities performed under all contracts each quarter and accrues expenses and the amount of any reimbursement to be received from its collaborators based upon the estimated amount of work completed considering milestones achieved. Estimating the value or stage of completion of certain services requires judgment based on available information. If the Company does not identify services performed for it but not billed by the service provider, or if it underestimates or overestimates the value of services performed as of a given date, reported expenses will be understated or overstated. Stock-Based Compensation – The Company charges to expense the fair value of stock options and other equity awards granted to employees and nonemployees for services. Compensation costs for stock-based awards with time-based vesting are determined using the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date or for stock options, the value determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and are recognized on a straight-line basis, while awards containing a market condition are valued using multifactor Monte Carlo simulations and are recognized over the derived service period. Compensation costs for awards containing a performance condition are determined using the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date or for stock options, the value determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and are recognized based on the probability of achievement of the performance condition over the service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Income Taxes – The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated federal and separate-company state income tax returns. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences or operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has recorded and continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on the history of losses incurred and lack of experience projecting future product revenue and sales-based royalty and milestone payments. 9 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Net Loss per Common Share – Basic and diluted loss per common share (“EPS”) are calculated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share . For the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no additional common shares were added to the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. The potential number of common shares excluded from diluted EPS during the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were 8,592,769 and 261,195 , respectively. Included in the weighted average common shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per common share are 5,453 and 5,594 vested restricted stock units that had not been issued as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 due to a provision in the restricted stock unit agreements to delay delivery. Translation of foreign currencies – Transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (U.S. Dollar) are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. (4) New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 enhances financial reporting by requiring additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently planning to adopt this guidance when effective. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes but expects the impact will be enhanced disclosures related to income statement expenses. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently planning to adopt this guidance when effective. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. (5) AGREEMENT WITH BOEHRINGER INGLEHEIM On August 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration, License and Patent Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (“Boehringer Ingelheim” or “BI”) to research, develop and commercialize first-in-class melanocortin receptor-targeted peptides developed by the Company for the treatment of retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the Company assigned certain patent rights and provided a license to Boehringer Ingelheim (the “Assigned Patents”), and the Company will conduct research services on behalf of Boehringer Ingelheim at Boehringer Ingelheim’s expense focused on development during a two-year period, which Boehringer Ingelheim has the right to extend by up to six months. The Company retains an exclusive, fully-paid license to PL9643 for treatment of dry eye disease. The Company determined that two performance obligations exist under the Assignment Agreement (i) patents and license assignment and (ii) research and development services. The patents and license assignment performance obligation relates to intellectual property that is distinct from other performance obligations identified in the arrangement. The consideration received for this performance obligation includes both fixed cash consideration and variable consideration subject to constraint. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 2,340,000 in revenue related to the assignment and transfer of the patents and license to BI for which BI can benefit and use. The Company received approximately $ 2,000,000 of cash related to the upfront payment as the cash received was net of foreign withholding taxes which were recognized in accounts receivable at December 31, 2025, as the Company expects to receive a refund during FY 2026. Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company was notified that BI had successfully completed the first research milestone and accordingly the Company recorded $ 6,490,000 of revenue during the quarter. In October 2025, the Company received approximately $ 5,400,000 of cash related to the achievement of this milestone as the cash received was net of foreign withholding taxes that the Company expects to receive as a refund during FY 2026. Variable consideration related to the remaining future milestones was fully constrained because the Company cannot conclude that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these future milestones. The Company may receive up to $ 21,200,000 in near-term research milestone payments and up to $ 307,000,000 in success-based development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments, plus tiered royalties on net commercial sales of products. 10 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The research and development services performance obligation relates to specific research activities during the research term, and BI will reimburse the Company for these activities at a full-time equivalent (“FTE”) rate of € 300,000 (approximately $ 346,341 ) per year per FTE, up to 3.25 FTEs, inclusive of direct labor, supplies, and allocated overhead. The Company will invoice BI for actual hours worked, and BI is obligated to pay within contractually defined timelines. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $ 116,036 and $ 133,586 of revenue for research and development services performed. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded revenue related to the Assignment Agreement, which consisted of the upfront payment for the Assigned Patents, the achievement of a research milestone during September 2025, and FTE related reimbursements as follows: SCHEDULE OF ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 Six Months Ended December 31, 2025 License and assignment of intellectual property $ - $ 2,340,000 Research, development and regulatory milestones achieved - 6,490,000 FTE Reimbursements for research and development services 116,036 133,586 Total $ 116,036 $ 8,963,586 (6) RELEASE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT On June 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Cosette pursuant to which the Cosette resolved all outstanding obligations and commercialization covenants related to such sales-based milestone payments and inventory purchase commitments by remitting a single lump sum payment of $ 630,000 and the assumption of outstanding manufacturing and supply purchase commitments, with the Company retaining the right to receive 20% of a $ 3,000,000 milestone payment based on the first commercial sale in Korea, in full satisfaction and release of all such future obligations. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of Vyleesi of $ 3,130,000 and a gain on inventory purchase commitments of $ 2,117,900 , for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. (7) PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS December 31, June 30, 2025 2025 Clinical / regulatory costs $ 903,725 $ 24,080 Insurance premiums 101,637 86,043 Other 349,630 215,572 Total prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 1,354,992 $ 325,695 11 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (8) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The fair value of cash equivalents is classified using a hierarchy prioritized based on inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides the assets carried at fair value: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE ASSET MEASUREMENT Carrying Value Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Other quoted/observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2025: Cash equivalents - Money market funds $ 13,925,210 $ 13,925,210 $ - $ - June 30, 2025: Cash equivalents - Money market funds $ 2,286,603 $ 2,286,603 $ - $ - (9) ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF ACCRUED EXPENSES December 31, June 30, 2025 2025 Clinical / regulatory costs $ 542,643 $ 282,761 Other research related expenses 3,693 86,372 Professional Services 105,565 323,510 Other 7,940 188,769 Total accrued expenses $ 659,841 $ 881,412 (10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Inventory Purchases – The Company had certain supply agreements relating to the Vyleesi product with certain manufacturers and suppliers, including Catalent Belgium S.A (“Catalent”), Ypsomed AG (“Ypsomed”), and Lonza Ltd (“Lonza”), all of which were transferred to Cosette on June 5, 2025, pursuant a Release and Settlement Agreement with Cosette (see Note 6). Contingencies – The Company accounts for litigation losses in accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies . In addition, the Company is subject to other contingencies, such as product liability, arising in the ordinary course of business. Loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss. Any outcome upon settlement that deviates from the Company’s best estimate may result in additional expense or in a reduction in expense in a future accounting period. The Company records legal expenses associated with such contingencies as incurred. The Company is involved, from time to time, in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. On February 13, 2025, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) v. Palatin Technologies, Inc., Case No: 650878/2025. The complaint named the Company as defendant, asserting three causes of action for breach of contract and seeking monetary damages of approximately $ 1,000,000 and the award of warrants allegedly due. The breach of contract claims relate to engagement agreements entered into by the Company and Wainwright in 2023 and 2024. On November 17, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement with Wainwright to resolve all outstanding disputes between the parties. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company paid Wainwright $ 500,000 in cash which was recorded in G&A and issued warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 10.00 per share, exercisable beginning January 12, 2026, with a two-year term. In addition, the Company repriced 6,007 outstanding Wainwright warrants to an exercise price of $ 10.00 per share. The parties mutually released all claims, and the Company extinguished all remaining obligations under the prior engagement arrangements. 12 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (11) SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment: life science. The table below summarizes the significant expense categories for the life science segment regularly provided to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer (the “CFO/COO”), its Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The accounting policies of the Company’s segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for its segment based on net loss, which is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The CODM uses cash forecast models in deciding how to invest into the segment. The CODM analyzes the Company’s net loss and monitors budget versus actual results to assess the performance of the Company.

(12) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIENCY) Series D Convertible Preferred Stock – On June 10, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a private placement (the “June 2025 Private Placement”), (i) an aggregate of 3,400 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, with a stated value of $100 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into up to 61,816 shares of the Company’s common stock (such shares underlying the Preferred Stock, the “Conversion Shares”), par value $0.01 per share at an initial conversion price of $ 5.50 , and (ii) Series I common stock purchase warrants (the “Series I Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 123,636 shares of Common Stock (such shares underlying the Series I Warrants, the “Series I Warrant Shares”). The Series D Preferred Stock and Series I Warrants were sold at a combined offering price of $ 5.50 per share of Preferred Stock and accompanying Series I Warrants. The Purchasers in the June 2025 Private Placement consisted of Carl Spana, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen T. Wills, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, John K.A. Prendergast, a director on and Chairperson of the Company’s board of directors, and Alan W. Dunton, a director on the Company’s board of directors, who are all related parties of the Company. The Series D Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of 8 % per annum, which when declared may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash or can accrete and be added to the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock. Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock senior to or equivalent to the Series D Preferred Stock , the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, out of available funds and assets, prior and in preference to any distribution on any junior stock, an amount per share equal to the then stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock and declared but unpaid dividends. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, and such conversion could dilute the value of our common stock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The conversion price decreases if we sell common stock (or equivalents) for a price per share less than the conversion price and is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, reclassification, stock dividend or stock split which results in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The June 2025 Private Placement closed on June 13, 2025. The gross proceeds from the June 2025 Private Placement, before deducting offering expenses, were $ 340,000 . 13 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Series A Convertible Preferred Stock – As of December 31, 2025, 4,030 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into the number of shares of common stock equal to $ 100 divided by the Series A Conversion Price. As of December 31, 2025, the Series A Conversion Price was $ 260.86 , and each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 0.38 shares of common stock. The Series A Conversion Price is subject to adjustment, under certain circumstances, upon the sale or issuance of common stock for consideration per share less than either (i) the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of such sale or issuance, or (ii) the market price of the common stock as of the date of such sale or issuance. The Series A Conversion Price is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, reclassification, stock dividend or stock split which will result in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have a preference in liquidation, including certain merger transactions, of $ 100 per share, or $ 403,000 in the aggregate as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company may not pay a dividend or make any distribution to holders of any class of stock unless the Company first pays a special dividend or distribution of $ 100 per share to holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Financing Transactions – On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) relating to the Company’s public offering of 2,430,769 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) together with Series J warrants to purchase up to 2,430,769 shares of common stock (the “Series J Warrants”), and Series K warrants to purchase up to 2,430,769 shares of common stock (the “Series K Warrants”) at a combined public offering price of $ 6.50 per share of common stock and accompanying Series J and Series K Warrants (the “November 2025 Offering”). The underwriters also had an option to purchase up to an additional 364,615 shares of the Company’s common stock and associated Series J and K Warrants on the same terms and conditions. Each Series J Warrant has an exercise price of $ 6.50 per share and is immediately exercisable. The Series J Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) the eighteen-month anniversary of the original issuance date or (ii) on the 31st calendar day following the date that the Company receives the FDA acceptance of the Company’s Investigational New Drug for an in-house obesity treatment compound (long-acting peptide or oral small molecule) (the “FDA Exercise Period”). Each Series K Warrant has an exercise price of $ 8.125 per share and is immediately exercisable. The Series K Warrants expires on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, however, if a holder’s Series J Warrants have not been terminated in accordance with their terms prior to the expiration of the FDA Exercise Period, such holder’s Series K Warrants will terminate automatically upon the earlier of the (i) eighteen-month anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series J Warrants or (ii) expiration of the FDA Exercise Period and prior to the five-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series K Warrant. The gross proceeds to the Company from the November 2025 Offering, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $ 18,200,000 , including the exercise by the underwriters to purchase an additional 364,615 shares of the Company’s common stock and associated Series J and K Warrants. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at a nominal exercise of $ 0.0001 per share until exercised in full and may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The November 2025 Offering closed on November 12, 2025, and was subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. On May 7, 2025, the Company announced the closing of a reduced previously announced public offering with participation from institutional and accredited investors consisting of 146,479 shares of common stock together with Series F warrants to purchase up to 146,479 shares of common stock (the “Series F Warrants”), Series G warrants to purchase up to 146,479 shares of common stock (the “Series G Warrants”), and Series H warrants to purchase up to 146,479 shares of common stock (the “Series H Warrants”), at a combined public offering price of $ 7.50 per share of common stock and accompanying warrants (the “May 2025 Offering”). 14 PALATIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Series F Warrants have an exercise price of $ 15.00 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, subject to the certain terms as defined in such warrant. The Series G Warrants have an exercise price of $ 7.50 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the original issuance date or (ii) the expiration of the FDA Exercise Period (as such term is defined in the Series G Warrant). The Series H Warrants will be issuable to the holder upon their exercise of the Series G Warrants, will have an exercise price of $ 11.25 per share, will be immediately exercisable upon issuance and will expire on the 24-month anniversary of its issuance date. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds from the May 2025 Offering of approximately $ 1,100,000 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the May 2025 Offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. On February 10, 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with a single healthcare focused institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 93,760 shares of its common stock (or common stock equivalents in lieu thereof) in a registered direct offering (the “February 2025 RD Offering”) at a purchase price of $ 50.00 per share. The Company also agreed to issue to the same investor in a concurrent private placement warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 93,760 shares of common stock (the “February 2025 Private Placement” and, together with the February 2025 RD Offering, the “February 2025 Offering”). The warrants issued in the concurrent February 2025 Private Placement have an exercise price of $ 50.00 per share, are exercisable 181 days after their issuance and expire approximately five and a half years from the date of issuance. The gross proceeds from the February 2025 Offering totaled $ 4,687,786 with net proceeds after deducting the placement agent fees and offering expenses, amounting to $ 4,309,641 .

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You are urged to carefully review our description and examples of forward-looking statements included earlier in this Quarterly Report immediately prior to Part I, under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to risk that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may affect our business and operating results, including those made in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, as well as any of those made in our other reports filed with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included herein, which speak only as of the date of this document. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, have not changed during the three and six months ended December 31, 2025. We believe that our accounting policies and estimates relating to the carrying value of inventory, revenue recognition, accrued expenses, purchase commitment liabilities, warrants and stock-based compensation are the most critical. Our Business We are a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor systems. Our product candidates are targeted, receptor-specific therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential. Our primary focus is the development of novel ‘next generation’ melanocortin-4 receptor (“MC4R”) agonists for treatment of rare neuroendocrine diseases. Melanocortin Receptor System. The melanocortin receptor (“MCR”) system has effects on food intake, metabolism, sexual function, inflammation, and immune system responses. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1R through MC5R. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have significant pharmacological effects. Our prior commercial product, Vyleesi®, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in June 2019 and was initially marketed in the United States by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG”) for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in premenopausal women pursuant to a license agreement for Vyleesi for North America, which was entered into on January 8, 2017 (the “AMAG License Agreement”). The AMAG License Agreement was terminated effective July 24, 2020, and we commenced marketing Vyleesi in North America. Effective December 19, 2023, Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(“Cosette”) acquired all rights to Vyleesi. As disclosed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective June 5, 2025, we entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement with Cosette. In August 2025, as disclosed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we entered into a Research Collaboration, License and Patent Assignment Agreement with Boehringer-Ingelheim International GmbH (“Boehringer Ingelheim”) to research, develop and commercialize first-in-class melanocortin receptor-targeted peptides we developed for the treatment of retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. In January 2026, as disclosed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we entered into a sublicense agreement with Altanispac Labs, LLC to exclusively license PL9643, a clinical development MCR1 agonist for the treatment of dry eye disease. Our new product development activities focus on obesity, primarily MC4R agonists for the treatment of rare MC4R pathway diseases, like hypothalamic obesity (HO) and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS); and secondarily on ocular, gastroenterology, and renal indications. We are actively engaged in discussions with potential partners and licensees that have the financial and operational resources to progress non-obesity products through development, approval and commercialization. 20 Pipeline Overview The following charts illustrate the status of our drug development programs. Multiple clinical trials are planned in calendar year 2026 for treatment of rare MC4R pathway diseases: The following programs have been out-licensed, or are available to out-license or otherwise transfer: Our Strategy Key elements of our business strategy include: ● Maintaining a team to create, develop and commercialize MC4R agonists addressing unmet medical needs for rare MC4R pathway diseases; ● Entering into strategic alliances and partnerships with companies to facilitate the development, manufacture, marketing, sale, and distribution of product candidates that we are developing, including products for indications other than obesity; ● Partially funding our product development programs with the cash flow generated from the sale of Vyleesi to Cosette, our agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim, and existing license agreements, as well as any future research, collaboration, or license agreements; and ● Completing development and seeking regulatory approval of certain of our product candidates. 21 Corporate Information We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 21, 1986 and commenced operations in the biopharmaceutical area in 1996. Our corporate offices are located at 301 Carnegie Center Drive, Suite 304 Princeton, New Jersey 08540, and our telephone number is (609) 495-2200.

Our website and the information contained in it or connected to it are not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The reference to our website is an inactive textual reference only. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC ( www.sec.gov ). Results of Operations As we continue to explore commercial opportunities and partners in both U.S. and international markets, we remain attentive to evolving global economic conditions, including uncertainties related to international trade policies, tariffs, and supply chain dynamics. Although these factors have not had a material impact on our operations to date, future changes in trade regulations, tariff structures, or logistical constraints could influence the cost, availability, or timing of materials, services and other components associated with the development of our product candidates and manufacturing capabilities. We continue to monitor these developments closely to maintain operational efficiency and help mitigate potential future impacts. Three and Six months ended December 31, 2025, Compared to the Three and Six months ended December 31, 2024: Revenues – For the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $116,036 and $8,963,586 in collaboration and license revenue compared to $0 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in collaboration and license revenue is related to the BI Agreement which consisted of an upfront payment, the achievement of a research milestone during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and FTE related reimbursements. Research and Development – Research and development expenses were $4,319,767 and $6,845,533 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $3,429,479 and $9,173,233 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily related to an increase in spending on our MCR programs. The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily related to a decrease in spending on our MCR programs. Research and development expenses related to our MCR programs were $2,290,073 and $3,260,702 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $1,888,065 and $5,969,102 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily related to an increase in spending on our MCR programs. The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily related to a decrease in spending on our MCR programs. The amounts of project spending above exclude general research and development spending which was $2,029,694 and 3,584,831 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $1,662,717 and $3,204,131 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in compensation-related expenses. Cumulative spending from inception to December 31, 2025, was approximately $311,900,000 on our Vyleesi program and approximately $254,500,000 on all our other programs (which include melanocortin receptor agonists, other discovery programs and terminated programs). Due to various risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, under “Risk Factors,” including the difficulty in currently estimating the costs and timing of future Phase 1 clinical trials and larger-scale Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials for any product under development, we cannot predict with reasonable certainty when, if ever, a program will advance to the next stage of development or be successfully completed, or when, if ever, related net cash inflows will be generated. 22 General and Administrative – Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist mainly of compensation and related costs, were $3,124,817 and $4,785,548 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $1,681,844 and $3,702,775 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase is a result of increased compensation costs and professional fees. Other Income (Expense) – For the three and six months ended, December 31, 2025, total other income (expense), net was $64,687 and $81,168, respectively. For the three and six months ended, December 31, 2024, total other income (expense), net was $168,841 and $109,877, respectively. The decrease was a result of a decrease in investment income and foreign currency translation gain, offset by a decrease in interest expense. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have generally incurred net operating losses, primarily related to spending on our research and development programs. We have financed our net operating losses primarily through debt and equity financings and amounts received under collaborative and license agreements. Our product candidates are at various stages of development and will require significant further research, development, and testing and some may never be successfully developed or commercialized. We may experience uncertainties, delays, difficulties, and expenses commonly experienced by early-stage biopharmaceutical companies, which may include unanticipated problems and additional costs relating to: ● the development and testing of products in animals and humans; ● product approval or clearance; ● regulatory compliance; ● good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) compliance; ● intellectual property rights; ● product introduction; ● marketing, sales, and competition; and ● obtaining sufficient capital. Failure to enter into or successfully perform under collaboration agreements and obtain timely regulatory approval for our product candidates and indications would impact our ability to generate revenues and could make it more difficult to attract investment capital for funding our operations. Any of these possibilities could materially and adversely affect our operations and require us to curtail or cease certain programs. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $6,426,227 compared to $11,863,319 for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to license and produce revenue recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2025. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $12,816 which consisted of cash used for the purchase of property and equipment. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $2,500,000, which consisted of proceeds from the sale of Vyleesi. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $18,350,940 which consisted of proceeds $16,911,453 of proceeds from an equity financing and $1,458,932 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, offset by $19,444 for payment of withholding taxes related to RSUs. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $3,252,527, which consisted of $3,398,023 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, offset by $99,482 for payment of withholding taxes related to RSUs and $46,014 for payment of finance lease obligations We have incurred cumulative negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and have expended substantial funds to advance our planned product development efforts. Continued operations are dependent upon our ability to complete equity or debt financing activities and to enter into additional licensing or collaboration arrangements. As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were $14,476,162 and our current liabilities were $6,332,648. On January 8, 2026, we entered into a sublicense agreement (the “Altanispac Agreement”) with Altanispac Labs, LLC (“Altanispac”), exclusively licensing PL9643, an MCR1 agonist for dry eye disease. In partial consideration for the rights to PL9643, the Altanispac Agreement provided for upfront consideration in the form of non-cash debt cancellation of approximately $3,800,000, which is reflected in our current liabilities as of December 31, 2025. We will recognize this $3,800,000 million as license revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for quarter ending March 31, 2026. There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025. 23 We intend to utilize existing capital resources for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements, including preclinical and clinical development of our MC4R programs for the treatment of rare MC4R pathway diseases. Based on the Company’s current operating and development plans, the Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this filing will be sufficient to enable it to fund operations through the next twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. We will need additional funding to complete required clinical trials for our product candidates and development programs and, if those clinical trials are successful (which we cannot predict), to complete submission of required regulatory applications to the FDA. However, current economic conditions (including current economic uncertainty, high interest rates, rising inflation, tariffs, and the potential for local and/or global economic recession) may negatively impact our operations, including possible effects on our financial condition, ability to access the capital markets on attractive terms or at all, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. We will continue to evaluate the impact that these events could have on the operations, financial position, and the results of operations and cash flows during fiscal year 2026 and beyond. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Not required to be provided by smaller reporting companies. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 24 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. We may be involved, from time to time, in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. On February 13, 2025, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) v. Palatin Technologies, Inc. , Case No: 650878/2025. The complaint names the Company as defendant, asserting three causes of action for breach of contract and seeking monetary damages of approximately $1,000,000and the award of warrants allegedly due. The breach of contract claims relate to engagement agreements entered into by the Company and Wainwright during 2023 and 2024. On March 20, 2025, the Company filed its answer in response to the complaint, in which it denied all liability and asserted several affirmative defenses. In November 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement with Wainwright, pursuant to which the complaint was dismissed and the Company paid Wainwright $500,000, issued warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, and repriced 6,007 other warrants to an exercise price of $10.00 per share. We are not currently a party to any other claim or legal proceeding. Item 1A. Risk Factors. This report and other documents we file with the SEC contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our business, our beliefs, and our management’s assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and they involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties facing our business. Other than set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025. Inadequate funding for the FDA, the SEC and other U.S. government agencies leading to government shut downs or other disruptions to these agencies’ staffing and operations could prevent new products and services from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our operations. The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government funding, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of the SEC, and other government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which would adversely affect our business. For example, in recent years, the U.S. government shut down and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, had to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown continues to occur, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, or if global health concerns prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting their regular inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA or other regulatory authorities to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Separately, the risk factor from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, titled “ Our common stock has been suspended from trading on the NYSE American. If we fail to regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards, our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE American ”, is no longer a material risk to the Company, as the Company resumed trading on the NYSE American effective November 12, 2025. 25 Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. As disclosed in the table below, 1,530 shares of common stock were withheld during the three months ended December 31, 2025, at the direction of the employees and as permitted under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in order to pay the minimum amount of tax liability owed by the employees from the vesting of previously issued restricted stock units: Fiscal Month Period Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) Weighted Average Price per Share Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under Announced Plans or Programs October 1, 2025 through October 31, 2025 - $ - - - November 1, 2025 through November 30, 2025 912 6.97 - December 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 618 21.38 - - Total 1,530 $ 12.71 - - (1) Consists solely of 1,530 shares that were withheld to satisfy tax withholding amounts due from employees upon the vesting of previously issued restricted stock units.
