NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2025
(Unaudited)
Note
1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies :
Telomir
Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TELO) is a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company developing therapies designed to target the root epigenetic
mechanisms underlying cancer, aging, and degenerative disease. The Company’s lead candidate, Telomir-1, has demonstrated activity
in preclinical studies involving modulation of DNA and histone methylation patterns, which may contribute to balanced gene expression,
cellular function, and genomic stability. Telomir-1 is a novel oral small molecule metal ion regulator designed to extend telomere caps,
maintain cellular balance, and combat oxidative stress, a key driver of aging and disease progression. By modulating essential metal
ions such as iron, and copper, Telomir-1 may help protect against age related conditions, including Progeria (a rare genetic disorder
that causes rapid aging in children), Wilson’s disease (a genetic disorder leading to toxic copper buildup in the body), and Age-related
Macular Degeneration (AMD), as well as Type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. These financial statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for annual
financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes
to the financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information,
have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.
Research
and development expense
Research
and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include the expenses paid to third parties, such as contract
research organizations and consultants, who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires
the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from such estimates and such differences could be material. Significant estimates during
the reporting periods include stock-based compensation and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased,
to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company’s account at these institutions is insured by the FDIC up to $ 250,000 . On September
30, 2025, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $ 7.1 million. Any material loss that the Company may experience
in the future could have an adverse effect on its ability to pay its operational expenses or make other payments and may require the
Company to move its cash to other high quality financial institutions. The Company deems these institutions to be of high caliber and,
to date, has not experienced any losses related to these holdings.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification
718 (FASB ASC 718), “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense
for all stock-based awards made to employees, directors and consultants based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company
estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award
that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company
has elected to account for forfeiture of stock-based awards as they occur.
7
Fair
value measurements and financial instruments
The
Company measures the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
GAAP
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company considers the carrying amount of deferred offering costs to approximate
fair value due to short-term nature of this instrument. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
Level
3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
Earnings
(loss) per Share
Earnings
(loss) per share is computed in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. The basic weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents such as stock options and warrants, while diluted weighted average
number of shares outstanding includes such stock options and warrants. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, outstanding aggregate stock options and warrants of 7,004,227 and 5,194,127 , respectively, were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would have had an antidilutive effect.
Recent
accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature
of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant
line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide
a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively,
disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses.
This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This new standard
requires a company to expand its existing income tax disclosures, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.
The standard will be effective beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is expected to be applied
prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.
Management
has considered all other recent accounting pronouncements that are issued, but not effective, and it does not believe that they will
have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Note
2. Going concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization
of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As
of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $ 7.3 million. The Company has used approximately $ 2.5 million of cash in
operations during the nine months ended September, 2025, had a net loss of $ 8.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
and had stockholders’ equity and working capital of approximately $ 7.0 million at September 30, 2025.
Historically,
the Company has been primarily engaged in developing Telomir-1. During these activities, the Company sustained substantial losses. The
Company’s ability to fund ongoing operations and future clinical trials required for FDA approval is dependent on the Company’s
ability to obtain significant additional external funding in the near term. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations
through its initial public offering in February 2024, additional equity financings in 2025, and related party financings-see Note 4.
Additional sources of financing will be required by the Company to continue operations and its Telomir-1 programs. However, there can
be no assurance that any fundraising will be achieved on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
8
As
of the date of filing this report, the Company will continue to generate losses and have insufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand
to support its operations for at least the 12 months following the date the financial statements are issued. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise
additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise more capital through additional debt and/or equity financings
to fund our operations in the future. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future,
management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related
to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note
3. License agreement, related party :
The
Company licenses the U.S. patent rights for the use of Telomir-1 in human applications from MIRALOGX, LLC (“MIRALOGX”), an
intellectual property development and holding company established by Jonnie R. Williams, Sr., the founder of the Company and the sole
inventor of Telomir-1.
On
August 11, 2023, (the “Effective Date”), the Company and MIRALOGX entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive License
Agreement, under which the Company has the exclusive perpetual right and license under the above-described patent rights to make, have
made, use, and sell “Licensed Products” in the U.S for human uses and preclinical studies and activities of any kind conducted
in furtherance of obtaining regulatory approval or commercialization for human uses (the “MIRALOGX License Agreement”). On
November 10, 2023, the Company and MIRALOGX entered into the Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated License Agreement, pursuant
to which the field of use relating to the license was amended to include therapeutic treatments and other medical or health uses in animals,
in addition to humans, and related preclinical studies and activities conducted in furtherance of obtaining regulatory approval for and
commercialization of veterinary, in addition to human, therapeutic treatments and uses (together with the “Initial MIRALOGX License
Agreement, the “MIRALOGX License Agreement”). “Licensed Product” is defined in the agreement as a drug product
containing as an active agent 2,4,6-tris(3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-yl) pyridine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or solvate
thereof. The Company also has the right to grant corresponding sublicenses under the licensed patent rights. The MIRALOGX License Agreement
provides for the payment to MIRALOGX of an 8 % royalty (payable quarterly) on the Company’s net sales of Licensed Products by the
Company or its sublicensees and on non-royalty bearing milestone revenue. There are no up-front, execution, or milestone payments in
the license agreement. Further, no payments have been made to date under the agreement.
The
MIRALOGX License Agreement provides for the payment to MIRALOGX of an 8 % royalty (payable quarterly) on the Company’s net sales
of Licensed Products by the Company or its sublicensees and on non-royalty bearing milestone revenue. There are no up-front, execution,
or milestone payments in the license agreement. Further, no payments have been made to date under the agreement.
The
term of the license from MIRALOGX will continue through the date of the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed patent or, if later,
the date of the expiration of the last strategic partnership/sublicensing agreement covering the licensed products. The patent rights
are expected to extend through 2043, and additional patent terms may be awarded, including additional patent terms based on the time
taken for regulatory review of drug products.
The
agreement also provides that Telomir may bring suit in its own name to enforce patent rights. MIRALOGX will control the prosecution of
the patent applications for Telomir-1. Telomir is required to be kept informed by MIRALOGX of patent prosecution activities and may select
identified countries for patent protection. Telomir is to reimburse MIRALOGX for patent prosecution and maintenance costs.
Note
4. Related party transactions :
Due
to related parties- The Company received working capital advances from companies under common control. These advances are due on
demand and are non-interest bearing. During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were advances received by the Company in the amount
of $ 0.1 million for payments made regarding studies on behalf of Telomir. No additional activity has occurred as of September 30, 2025,
and $ 0.1 million remains outstanding.
Starwood
Trust Line of Credit
On
September 24, 2024 the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note and Loan Agreement (“the Starwood Note”) with the
Starwood Trust, a separate related party trust established by the Company’s founder for the benefit of the founder’s family.
Under the Starwood Note, the Company has the right to borrow up to an aggregate of $ 5 million from the Starwood Trust at any time up
until the second anniversary of the note. The Company’s right to borrow funds under the Starwood Note is subject to the absence

2023
Omnibus Incentive Plan
In
December 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (“2023 Omnibus Plan”).
The 2023 Omnibus Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code,
to the Company’s employees and any of its parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory
stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to the Company’s
employees, directors, and consultants and any of its future subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants
The
2023 Omnibus Plan provides that 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 2023 Omnibus
Plan, all of which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options.
Stock-based
compensation
The
fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected
volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected price volatility is based on the historical
volatilities of a peer group as the Company does not have a multi-year trading history for its shares. Industry peers consist of several
public companies in the biotech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle and product indications. The Company intends
to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information
regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified
companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would
be utilized in the calculation.
Expected
term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of
the vesting term plus contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the 5-year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

6. Segment Information
The
Company operates in one reportable segment related to the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals targeting neurologic and
neuropsychiatric disorders. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Company’s CEO
reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial
performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure.
The CEO uses aggregate net loss to allocate resources in the annual budgeting and forecasting process and also uses that measure as a
basis for evaluating financial performance regularly by comparing actual results with established budgets and forecasts.
The
accounting policies of the Company’s single segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies
within Note 1. The CEO assesses performance for the Company and decides how to allocate resources based on the aggregate net loss that
is also reported on the statement of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total
assets.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s
actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the Company’s
other filings with the SEC. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” below.
As
used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, unless otherwise indicated,
the terms “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terminology refer to Telomir Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.
Telomir
Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TELO) is a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company developing therapies designed to target the root epigenetic
mechanisms underlying cancer, aging, and degenerative disease. The Company’s lead candidate, Telomir-1, has demonstrated activity
in preclinical studies involving modulation of DNA and histone methylation patterns, which may contribute to balanced gene expression,
cellular function, and genomic stability. Telomir-1 is a novel oral small molecule metal ion regulator designed to extend telomere caps,
maintain cellular balance, and combat oxidative stress, a key driver of aging and disease progression. By modulating essential metal
ions such as iron, and copper, Telomir-1 may help protect against age related conditions, including Progeria (a rare genetic disorder
that causes rapid aging in children), Wilson’s disease (a genetic disorder leading to toxic copper buildup in the body), and Age-related
Macular Degeneration (AMD), as well as Type 2 diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Telomir-1
Program Overview
Telomir-1
is an investigational, orally administered small-molecule candidate designed to target fundamental biological processes believed to contribute
to aging, cancer, metabolic, and other age-related diseases. The compound acts as a regulator of essential metal ions and an epigenetic
modulator, influencing cellular pathways that govern oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, DNA methylation, and telomere maintenance—core
mechanisms broadly implicated in degenerative, inflammatory, metabolic, and oncologic conditions.
Epigenetics
refers to the way cells control gene activity without altering the underlying DNA sequence. One important epigenetic process, DNA methylation,
functions as a molecular “dimmer switch,” turning specific genes on or off. Over time, abnormal methylation patterns can
silence genes that help regulate cell repair, detoxification, or immune balance. Mitochondria are the cell’s energy-producing
structures and are sensitive to oxidative stress, while telomeres are protective DNA caps at the ends of chromosomes that naturally
shorten with each cell division. These systems collectively influence how quickly cells age and maintain healthy function.
Preclinical
studies indicate that Telomir-1 and its zinc-bound form (Telomir-Zn) exhibit selective metal-ion–binding properties. The molecule
demonstrates a high affinity for iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) ions and a lower affinity for zinc (Zn), allowing it to exchange or chelate
excess Fe and Cu while maintaining beneficial zinc balance. This selective exchange mechanism has been associated in laboratory models
with decreased redox stress, improved mitochondrial stability, and modulation of metal-dependent epigenetic enzymes such as histone demethylases
(KDM5, KDM6A/UTX, and JMJD3). These findings suggest that Telomir-1’s biological activity may derive in part from the restoration
of normal metal-ion homeostasis—a process believed to play a key role in oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular aging.
In
preclinical models, Telomir-1 demonstrated metal-ion–dependent effects on oxidative balance and mitochondrial protection, including
normalization of intracellular calcium release and redox stress and restoration of mitochondrial activity in Progeria fibroblast
models. In an in-vivo Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) longevity assay, Telomir-1 extended lifespan and improved mobility,
suggesting a possible impact on biological-aging rate.
Telomir-1
inhibited several iron- and copper-dependent histone demethylase enzymes (KDM5, KDM6A/UTX, and JMJD3) and in prostate-cancer xenograft
model derived from PC3 cells, reversed promoter hypermethylation of tumor-suppressor and immune-regulatory genes including STAT1, CDKN2A,
GSTP1, MASPIN, RASSF1A, CASP8, and TMS1, restoring pathways associated with apoptosis, detoxification, and immune signaling.
In
oncology research, Telomir-1 reduced tumor growth in a murine xenograft model of aggressive human prostate cancer (PC3 cells) and decreased
cancer-cell viability in vitro in prostate, pancreatic, and triple-negative breast-cancer cell lines. In aging-related models, Telomir-1
reversed telomere shortening and restored telomere length beyond wild-type levels in an accelerated-aging zebrafish model mimicking Progeria
and Werner syndromes.
14
Additional
preclinical studies demonstrated disease-specific activity in degenerative and metabolic models. In an age-related macular-degeneration
(AMD) model, Telomir-1 restored visual function and retinal structure, reduced oxidative stress, and reconstituted multiple retinal layers,
supporting a potential regenerative mechanism in oxidative retinal injury. In a Wilson’s-disease model, Telomir-1 improved neuromotor
performance, reduced liver-copper accumulation, and normalized hepatic and renal histopathology scores, indicating multi-organ protective
effects distinct from traditional metal-chelating agents. In metabolic models of Type 2 diabetes, Telomir-1 improved glucose metabolism
and insulin sensitivity, consistent with its observed effects on mitochondrial and redox regulation.
Collectively,
these preclinical findings suggest that Telomir-1 may function as a multi-target small-molecule regulator that integrates metal-ion balance,
mitochondrial protection, epigenetic remodeling, and telomere preservation—biological processes thought to underlie aging, cancer,
metabolic dysfunction, and several related pathologies. Telomir-1 has not been evaluated in humans, and there is no assurance that these
preclinical results will translate into clinical safety or efficacy.
Recent
Developments — Binding Letter of Intent for Worldwide Rights to Telomir-1
On
October 17, 2025, we executed a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) to acquire TELI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., thereby securing
worldwide rights to the Company’s lead investigational therapy, Telomir-1. The proposed transaction would align the Company’s
existing U.S. intellectual-property rights with TELI’s ex-U.S. portfolio, consolidating ownership across key territories including
Europe, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Israel, Australia, Argentina, Uruguay, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates.
Under
the LOI, each outstanding share of TELI common stock would be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock, with the final
exchange ratio to be determined by an independent valuation. The LOI also provides for up to $5 million in potential shareholder contributions
from certain TELI shareholders, payable in cash or cash equivalents over the course of the collaboration — $1 million at closing,
$2 million upon acceptance of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and $2 million
upon initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The closing of the proposed acquisition is not conditioned upon the funding of these milestone-based
shareholder contributions.
The
transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, and
approval by the shareholders of both companies. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into definitive agreements or that
the transaction will be completed. If consummated, the acquisition would establish Telomir as the single global owner of Telomir-1 intellectual-property
assets and is expected to enhance the Company’s ability to pursue future strategic collaborations, licensing arrangements, or regional
partnership opportunities.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue nor do we expect to generate revenue unless and until we successfully complete preclinical and
clinical development of, receive regulatory approval for, and commercialize a program and we do not know when, or if at all, that will
occur. We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance the preclinical
activities and studies and initiate clinical trials. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any programs, we expect to incur
significant expenses related to production of sales, marketing, and distribution to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution
are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company.
We
had net losses of $1.1 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $8.4 million
and $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Highlights
– Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and beyond
●
On May 19, 2025, Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to raise $3 million in equity financing
through a direct investment by The Bayshore Trust, an entity affiliated with the Company’s largest shareholder. The transaction
was structured as a straight restricted common stock deal with no warrants. The Company issued 333,334 restricted shares of its common
stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $3.00 per share, representing an 18% premium to the closing
share price of the Common Stock of $2.54 on the date of execution (the “Bayshore Financing”). The Company received the initial
payment of $1 million for the Bayshore Financing on May 20, 2025. On July 24, 2025, an additional $2 million was received, for the issuance
of 666,666 shares.
●
On July 17, 2025, we reported new preclinical results evaluating the effects of its lead candidate, Telomir-1, in a murine xenograft
model using P3 human prostate cancer cells. The data demonstrated that Telomir-1 reversed epigenetic silencing by DNA methylation of
the STAT1 gene, a tumor suppressor and immune response regulator, in a dose-dependent manner.
●
On July 18, 2025, we sold a total of 1,100,000 shares of our common stock, no par value, in block sales to institutional investors, at
an average price of $2.6045 per share (a premium to the prior day’s close), through its at-the-market equity offering facility.
15
●
On July 23, 2025, we reported new preclinical results showing that its lead compound, Telomir-1, restored mitochondrial function without
triggering oxidative stress or cell proliferation in human cells derived from a patient with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).
●
On August 7, 2025, we reported new preclinical data revealing that Telomir-1 potently inhibits three key histone demethylase enzymes-JMJD3,
FBXL10, and FBXL11-that regulate gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. These enzymes are known to influence tumor progression,
immune response, metabolic function, and neuroinflammation.
●
On August 27, 2025, we sold a total of 350,000 shares of our common stock, no par value, in block sales to institutional investors, at
an average price of $1.95 per share, (a premium to the prior day’s close), through our at-the-market equity offering facility.
●
On August 28, 2025, we sold a total of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, no par value, in block sales to institutional investors,
at an average price of $1.82 per share, (a premium to the prior day’s close), through our at-the-market equity offering facility.
●
On August 28, 2025, we announced new in vitro results that expand understanding of our lead drug candidate, Telomir-1. In studies conducted
by Eurofins Discovery, Telomir-1 was shown to potently inhibit UTX (KDM6A), an enzyme that acts like an “eraser” of chemical
tags on DNA packaging proteins. These tags, known as DNA methylation and histone marks, are part of the body’s system for deciding
which genes are turned on or off - much like switches on a circuit board.
●
On September 9, 2025 we reported new preclinical cancer data showing that Telomir-1 reverses DNA methylation of CDKN2A, a master tumor
suppressor gene silenced in many aggressive cancers.
●
On September 18, 2025, we reported new in vitro pharmacology results demonstrating that Telomir-1 potently inhibits three members of
the KDM5 histone demethylase family. Histone demethylases are upstream gene regulators that cancers exploit to silence tumor suppressors
and activate inflammatory programs. Blocking these enzymes has long been viewed as scientifically important but clinically challenging,
with KDM5 often described as challenging for development
●
On October 7, 2025, we announced new preclinical results showing that our investigational therapy Telomir-1 reactivated two of the body’s
most important tumor suppressor genes, MASPIN (“tumor suppressor shield”) and RASSF1A (“guardian gene”; also
called SERPINB5), through DNA methylation reset in prostate cancer models. By restoring the activity of these genes, Telomir-1 may help
prevent cancer spread and improve chemotherapy response
●
On October 9, 2025, we announced new findings demonstrating that Telomir-1 significantly decreases the viability of aggressive triple-negative
breast cancer (TNBC) cells - a highly invasive form of breast cancer that lacks hormone and HER2 receptors, offers limited treatment
options, and carries one of the poorest survival rates among breast cancer subtypes.
●
On October 9, 2025, we sold a total of 550,000 shares of our common stock, no par value, in block sales to institutional investors, at
an average price of $1.90 per share, through our at-the-market equity offering facility, resulting in net proceeds of $1,003,120.
●
On October 14, 2025, we announced new laboratory findings demonstrating that Telomir-1 kills aggressive pancreatic cancer cells. In laboratory
studies using human pancreatic cancer (PANC-1) cells, Telomir-1 produced a concentration-dependent reduction in cancer cell survival
and mitochondrial activity. These data suggest Telomir-1 influences cellular pathways related to energy metabolism and oxidative balance.
The findings align with previously reported results in triple-negative breast and prostate cancer models, indicating that Telomir-1 may
engage fundamental biological processes involved in cancer cell regulation.
●
On October 17, 2025, we executed a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) to acquire TELI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a related

●
On October 23, 2025, we reported new preclinical data from an in vivo study in mice bearing human aggressive prostate cancer tumors evaluating
DNA-methylation changes in two key defense genes - CASP8 and GSTP1 - following treatment with oral Telomir-1, Rapamycin, chemotherapy,
and combination regimens. Apoptosis (“kill”) and detoxification (“clean”) pathways are two of the body’s
fundamental defense systems against cancer initiation and progression, and Telomir-1’s observed modulation of these pathways through
DNA-methylation control may represent an important area of ongoing scientific evaluation in oncology research.

Components
of Our Results of Operations
Research
and development expenses represent costs incurred to conduct research and development of our product candidate. We recognize all research
and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of the following:
● contracted
research and manufacturing;
● consulting
arrangements; and
● other
expenses incurrent to advance the Company’s research and development activities.
Our
operating expenses have historically been the costs associated with our initial investment in pre-clinical research and development activities.
We expect research and development expenses to increase in the future as we advance Telomir-1 into and through clinical trials and pursue
regulatory approvals, which will require a significant investment in costs of clinical trials, regulatory support, and contract manufacturing.
In addition, we will evaluate opportunities to acquire or in-license additional product candidates and technologies, which may result
in higher research and development expenses due to license fee and/or milestone payments, as well as added clinical development costs.
The
process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. We may never succeed in timely
development and achieving regulatory approval for our product candidates. The probability of success of our product candidates may be
affected by numerous factors, including clinical data, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. As a result, we
are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue
from the commercialization and sale of our product candidates.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include the expenses paid to third parties, such as contract
research organizations and consultants, who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company. Patent-related costs,
including registration costs, documentation costs and other legal fees associated with the application, are expensed in the period in
which they are incurred.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “ Compensation - Stock Compensation ”,
which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, directors and consultants
based on estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods using the straight-line method. The Company has elected to account for forfeiture of stock-based awards as
they occur.
Results
of Operations
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
Research
and Development Expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $0.8 million in research and development
expenses, and incurred $0.6 million in research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The main driver
in the increase year over year relates to costs incurred in support of our lead investigational therapy, Telomir-1.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $1.1 million in research and development expenses, and incurred $1.9 million in
research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The main driver in the decrease year over year relates
to costs incurred in 2024 with certain pharmaceutical manufacturing activities that were not performed in 2025.
Since
inception, we have not earned any revenue, nor do we anticipate doing so until we successfully conclude preclinical and clinical development
and obtain regulatory approval. The timing and certainty of this event remain unknown.
Our
operating expenses have historically been the costs associated with our initial investment in pre-clinical research and development activities.
We expect research and development expenses to increase in the future as we advance Telomir-1 into and through clinical trials and pursue
regulatory approvals, which will require a significant investment in costs of clinical trials, regulatory support, and contract manufacturing.
In addition, we will evaluate opportunities to acquire or in-license additional product candidates and technologies, which may result
in higher research and development expenses due to license fee and/or milestone payments, as well as added clinical development costs.

General
and Administrative Expenses . We incurred $0.4 million and $5.4 million in general and administrative expenses during the three months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to stock-based compensation related to grants issued in
2024.
We
incurred $7.3 million and $7.0 million in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively. The increase is primarily due to executive stock-based compensation.
Related
Party Travel Costs . We did not incur any related party travel costs during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025. The
Company incurred $0.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 in connection with the lease of and use of an airplane
with an entity under common control. The Company has not participated in the use of the airplane since March 2024 and, pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, bears no further obligation under the agreement.
Interest
income (expense) . We earned $0.05 million in interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 relating primarily to
money market interest. We incurred $4.3 million in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The 2024 interest
expense consists of the amortization of the deferred financing costs on warrants issued on the related party line of credit that is no
longer open.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Sources
of Liquidity
Since
the Company’s inception in August 2021, we have financed our operations primarily through an unsecured line of credit with a major
shareholder and an affiliated company, through a $1.0 million private placement of shares of our common stock that occurred during the
first quarter 2023 at $3.73 per share (after giving effect to our 1-for-2.05 reverse stock split that occurred on December 11, 2023),
and through our IPO that occurred in February 2024. We intend to finance our clinical development programs and working capital needs
from existing cash, and our effective shelf registration statement.
On
September 24, 2024 the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note and Loan Agreement (“the Starwood Note”) with the
Starwood Trust, a separate related party trust established by the Company’s founder for the benefit of the founder’s family.
Under the Starwood Note, the Company has the right to borrow up to an aggregate of $5 million from the Starwood Trust at any time up
until the second anniversary of the note. The Company’s right to borrow funds under the Starwood Note is subject to the absence
of a material adverse change in its assets, operations, or prospects. The Starwood Note, together with accrued interest, is to become
due and payable on the second anniversary of the issuance of the note, provides for prepayment at any time without penalty, and accrues
simple interest at a rate equal 7% per annum. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Starwood Note.
On
May 19, 2025, Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. the Company entered into an agreement to raise $3 million in equity financing through a direct
investment by The Bayshore Trust, an entity affiliated with the Company’s largest shareholder. The transaction was structured as
a straight restricted common stock deal with no warrants. The Company issued 333,333 restricted shares of its common stock, no par value
(the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $3.00 per share, representing an 18% premium to the closing share price of the
Common Stock of $2.54 on the date of execution (the “Bayshore Financing”). The Company received the initial payment of $1
million for the Bayshore Financing on May 20, 2025. In July 2025, an additional $2 million was received, for the issuance of 666,666
shares.
On
February 14, 2025, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to facilitate the issuance of our common stock and entered
into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Rodman & Renshaw LLC under which the Company may
offer and sell shares of its Common Stock, with an aggregate offering amount sold of up to $100,000,000. As of the date of filing of
this Form 10-Q, the Company has sold a total of 3,218,300 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average price of $2.12 for total
proceeds of $6,553,207, net of costs of $272,092
We
have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect to incur additional losses until
such time that we can generate significant revenue and profit, which we do not expect to occur in the near future. We had negative cash
flow from operations of approximately $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash
and cash equivalents of approximately $7.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $38.9 million.
We
currently expect that our cash and cash equivalents will only be sufficient to fund our operations, development plans, and capital expenditures
through the third quarter of 2026. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We
did not have any material non-cancellable contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and therefore are not required to provide the information
under this item per Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our
principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) (the “Certifying Officers”),
conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls
and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Readers
are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial
reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations
in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based
on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September
30, 2025.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act, during our third quarter of 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
