Recently, the Company has shifted its business strategy to focus on energy-efficient blockchain and cryptocurrency infrastructure through quantum-class laser-based computing. The Company’s core strategy leverages an exclusive global licensing agreement with LightSolver Ltd. (“LightSolver”) to deploy innovative laser processing units (“LPUs”), specifically the Company-branded qc-LPU100™ (“qc-LPU100”), which harnesses the natural properties of light with the goal of achieving high computational speed and energy efficiency. The qc-LPU100 is intended to address complex combinatorial and physical problems, such as partial differential equations, and is targeted for applications in cryptocurrency, decentralized physical infrastructure tokens (“DePin Tokens”), and artificial intelligence-driven high-performance computing that relies on decentralized networks. The Company seeks to position itself as a first-mover in bridging laser-based computing with cryptocurrency infrastructure, addressing industry challenges including high energy consumption, scalability limitations, and reliance on traditional graphics processing units (“GPUs”). LPUs are designed to operate at room temperature in standard rack-unit sizes and are intended to outperform GPUs and quantum processing units (“QPUs”) in speed, efficiency, and sustainability, while enhancing blockchain security. The Company is evaluating the potential divestiture of Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD to fund its new strategic focus, with the objective of creating long-term stockholder value. Recent Developments Consulting Agreement On January 16, 2026, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Chelsea Voss (the “Consultant”), a current director of the Company, pursuant to which, the Consultant agreed to provide certain consulting services to the Company, including evaluating companies and making related introductions, analyzing technologies and operations, reviewing and advising on potential acquisitions and any other consulting or advisory services which the Company reasonably requests that the Consultant provide to the Company.

Financial Operations Overview The Company is a pre-revenue company that has not generated any revenue from product sales to date. The Company’s primary revenue opportunity is its laser-based computing business, through which it intends to generate revenue from a combination of hardware sales, leasing arrangements, subscription-based access to LPU clusters, and potential licensing or royalty arrangements associated with the integration of its technology into blockchain infrastructure or other computing platforms. In addition, the Company holds legacy pharmaceutical assets, including the Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD product candidates. The Company does not expect to generate revenue from these pharmaceutical assets and is evaluating strategic alternatives, which may include divestiture or out-licensing. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly as we advance the development and commercialization of our laser-based computing business, including prototype development, performance benchmarking, pilot testing, hardware certifications, manufacturing, and deployment of LPU systems. As a result of these anticipated expenditures, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Components of our Results of Operations Revenue We have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products in the near future. With respect to our laser-based computing business, the Company intends to generate revenue through a combination of hardware sales, leasing arrangements, and service-based offerings, including subscription-based access to LPU clusters and potential licensing or royalty arrangements. Operating Expenses Our operating expenses are broken into several components, including research and development and general and administrative costs. We expect operating expenses to increase as we advance prototype development, performance benchmarking, pilot testing, and early commercialization activities for our laser-based computing business, and as we incur costs to maintain our legacy pharmaceutical assets, including Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD, while we evaluate strategic alternatives. 26 Research and Development Our research and development expenses consist of costs associated with both our laser-based computing business and the maintenance of our legacy pharmaceutical product candidates, Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD. For our laser-based computing business, these costs include prototype development expenses for the qc-LPU100, performance benchmarking activities, LightSolver licensing costs, consulting and general development expenses, and related engineering and technical costs. For our legacy pharmaceutical business, these costs include, but are not limited to: ● Contractual agreements with third parties, including contract research organizations, for the maintenance of legacy pharmaceutical programs; ● Outside consultants including fees and expenses; ● Laboratory supplies and equipment; ● Regulatory compliance; and ● Patent application and maintenance costs to protect our intellectual property. None of our two employees are principally involved in research and development activities for either the laser-based computing business or our legacy pharmaceutical product candidates, Isomyosamine or Supera-CBD. Their salaries, wages and benefits are captured as a component of research and development but not allocated to specific projects. We utilize third party contractors and consultants with expertise in specific research or development activities to perform work under the supervision of our researchers. We believe this allows us to control costs and to progress through the development cycle and to utilize our staff more efficiently. It is difficult to project with absolute accuracy the duration or final cost of the development of our laser-based computing products, including the qc-LPU100, or our legacy pharmaceutical product candidates, Isomyosamine and Supera-CBD, or if revenue will be generated from the commercialization of any of these products. For our laser-based computing business, costs will depend on the pace of prototype development, benchmarking results, regulatory certifications, and deployment timelines. For our legacy pharmaceutical business, the process of achieving regulatory approval is very costly and time consuming. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, wages and benefits for our employees in the executive and accounting functions and third-party costs for legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations, stock market and board expenses. Although treated as components of general and administrative expenses, we have chosen to disclose the following significant items separately: Stock Based Compensation Stock based compensation includes the fair market value, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, of stock options issued to key staff and consultants. Franchise Tax Expenses Franchise taxes paid to the State of Delaware based on the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. Warrant Issuance Expense The bifurcated fair market value of warrants issued with the private placement of Series F-1 Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, and Series H Preferred Stock. Other Income (Expense), net Other income (expense), net consists of interest and dividends earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, gains on the sale marketable securities, losses on equity investments, and an uninsured casualty loss. 27 Results of Operations Summary of Statements of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 The following table summarized the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we performed an analysis of the value of the Company’s investment in Oravax Medical, LLC to determine its fair-market value. As a result of the analysis we determined the fair-value of the investment was $0 and we recorded a loss on the investment of $1,500,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration for the LightSolver license acquisition equaled $10,909,000 using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation method (risk free interest rate of 3.70%, cash discount rate of 8.90%, and a stock discount rate of 26.3%). The Company recognized a loss of $1,529,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified a casualty loss of $178,198 related to wire fraud due to a compromised electronic mail account. This incident occurred on May 17, 2023 and was discovered on July 20, 2023 when the vendor notified us of a delinquent invoice. An investigation determined that the original invoice from the vendor, sent to our consultant on this project, was intercepted and resent with altered wring instructions from a domain name that varied from the actual vendor’s domain by one character. We notified our cyber insurance carrier on November 9, 2023. The Company recovered $100,000 of this loss from the insurance carrier on July 2, 2024. 30 Income Taxes As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of $123,715,103 and $116,475,704, respectively. $43,262,318 of the U.S. federal net operating loss generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 expire beginning with the year ending December 31, 2026 through 2037. The remaining U.S. federal net operating loss of $80,452,785 does not expire, however it is limited to 80% of each subsequent year’s net income. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had U.S. state net operating loss carry forwards of $58,300,567 and $55,721,156, respectively, some of which expire beginning with the year ending December 31, 2026 through 2045. Under Section 382 of the Code, use of our net operating loss carryforwards is limited if we experience a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% in a moving three-year period. We experienced an ownership change as a result of the Merger and therefore our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain credit carryforwards are limited. The limitation is determined by the fair market value of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the ownership change, multiplied by the applicable federal rate. It is expected that the Merger caused our net operating loss carryforwards to be limited. However, the limitation had no impact on our financial statements since we recorded a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash on hand was $986,996 and marketable securities were $14,801,267.

Since inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the sale of its common stock and preferred stock in public offerings and private placements; however, there is no assurance that management will be able to obtain additional financing in the future. Based on our current operating plan, existing cash balances, and expected cash flows, management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase revenues, manage operating expenses, and access additional capital as needed. Liquidity constraints and access to capital markets could negatively affect our liquidity and require changes to our operating or investment strategy. Capital Requirements Our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the timing and extent of market acceptance of our products and services, investments in product development, sales and marketing activities, working capital requirements, and the timing and amount of future revenue. We may seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings, strategic partnerships, or other arrangements.

On August 8, 2024, the Company filed the August Series G Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series G Certificate of Designations. The August Series G Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 1,864 shares of Series G Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,864,000 in lieu of dividends totaling $1,164,682 and a reduction of additional paid-in capital totaling $699,318. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 0 shares of Series G Preferred Stock with a stated value of $0 in lieu of dividends totaling $0 and a reduction of additional paid-in capital totaling $0. Series H Preferred Stock Offering On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series H Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Series H Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to sell to the Series H Investors (i) an aggregate of 7,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series H Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $5.00 per share (the “Series H Conversion Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series H Warrants”) at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (collectively, the “Series H Private Placement”). The closing of the Series H Private Placement occurred on September 4, 2024 (the “Series H Closing Date”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement were $7,000,000. The Series H Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series H Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). In September 2025, in connection with the 2025 Reverse Stock Split and pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series H Certificate of Designations, the Series H Conversion Price was reduced to $3.3713 per share. The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 7% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Certificate of Designations”)), the Series H Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $4.83 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rule of the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series H Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series H Certificate of Designations. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded dividends totaling $182,065 and $0, respectively. Except with respect to Pharmacyte, the Series H Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Certificate of Designations or Series H Warrants. In connection with the Series H Private Placement, the Company and the Series H Investors entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2025 (the “Series H Registration Rights Agreement,” and, together with the Series H Purchase Agreement, the Series H Certificate of Designations, and the Series H Warrants, the “Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to, among other things, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Series H Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Series H Registration Rights Agreement) prior to the applicable Filing Deadline (as defined in the Series H Registration Rights Agreement). On October 3, 2025, the Company filed the Series H Registration Statement with the SEC, which was declared effective on November 28, 2025. On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into an Omnibus Waiver and Amendment (the “September 2025 Amendment”) with the Required Holders (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designations). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Required Holders agreed (A) to amend (i) the Series H Certificate of Designations, as described below, by filing a Certificate of Amendment (“September 2025 Certificate of Amendment”) to the Series H Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State, (ii) the Series H Purchase Agreement to amend the definition of “Excluded Securities” such that the definition includes the issuance of Common Stock issued after the date of the Series H Purchase Agreement pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan (as defined in the Series H Purchase Agreement) which in the aggregate does not exceed more than 15.0% of the sum of (x) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Series H Purchase Agreement, and (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of certain of the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock (the “Excluded Securities Modification”), and (iii) the Series H Registration Rights Agreement such that the Series H Registration Statement is required to be filed with the SEC by the date that is 30 calendar days following the Series H Closing Date and (B) waive (i) any prohibitions or limitations under the Transaction Documents in connection with the issuance by the Company of certain warrants to purchase Common Stock to certain current and future consultants of the Company, (ii) any prohibitions or limitations under the Transaction Documents in connection with the registration of certain securities of the Company, and (iii) any failure by the Company to file the Series H Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline. The September 2025 Certificate of Amendment amends the Series H Certificate of Designations to amend the definition of “Excluded Securities” substantially similar to the Excluded Securities Modification. On October 3, 2025, the Company filed the September 2025 Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State, thereby amending the Series H Certificate of Designations. The September 2025 Certificate of Amendment became effective with the Secretary of State upon filing. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition, impairment analysis of intangibles and stock-based compensation. 33 Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are impacted by the accounting policies we have adopted. In order to get a full understanding of our financial statements, one must have a clear understanding of the accounting policies employed. A summary of our accounting policies is presented within the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are as follows: Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. These items are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most significant to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Share-based Compensation We account for share-based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the share-based payments on the date of grant. We determine the estimated fair value of the share-based payments granted using the fair market value of the stock in the case of restricted stock awards or Black-Scholes option pricing model in the case of stock options and recognize compensation costs ratably over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period using the graded method. To calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including the fair value of the underlying Common Stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. We calculate our volatility assumptions using the actual changes in the market value of our stock. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Our historical option exercises do not provide a reasonable basis to estimate an expected term due to the lack of sufficient data. Therefore, we estimate the expected term by using the simplified method. The simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of the vesting term plus the contractual life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use significantly different assumptions or estimates, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. Mezzanine Equity The Company accounts for certain equity instruments, including redeemable preferred stock, in accordance with applicable guidance in ASC 480 and related SEC interpretive guidance. Instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of events that are not solely within the control of the Company are classified as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The classification and measurement of mezzanine equity involve significant judgment, particularly in evaluating the terms of the underlying agreements to determine whether redemption features are within the Company’s control. The Company assesses each instrument at issuance and upon modification to determine the appropriate classification as a liability, mezzanine equity, or permanent equity. Mezzanine equity instruments are initially recorded at fair value, net of issuance costs and may include a discount. To the extent that redemption is probable or becomes certain, the Company may adjust the carrying value of the instrument to its redemption amount immediately or over the period to the earliest redemption date, depending on the specific terms of the instrument. Changes in these estimates or in the interpretation of contractual terms could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and earnings per share. For example, if the Company were to revise its assumptions regarding the likelihood or timing of a redemption event, the amount and timing of accretion recognized could change significantly. The Company continues to evaluate its mezzanine equity instruments for any modifications or events that could affect classification or measurement, including changes in contractual terms, amendments, or triggering events that may impact the probability of redemption.
