Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, our Chief Executive Officer (our
principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) (the “Certifying Officers”),
has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the company 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including
its principal executive and principal accounting officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have concluded, based on their evaluation
as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable
assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
Company’s principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of
the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. During 2024, we designed and implemented
new and enhanced controls to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting, including hiring additional experienced accounting
personnel, among other enhancements. Management believes these enhancements were sufficient to remediate previously identified material
weaknesses.
As of December 31, 2025, management conducted
an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based
on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of December 31, 2025.
This Report does not include an attestation report
of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as smaller reporting
companies are not required to include such report and emerging growth companies (“EGC’s”) are exempt from this requirement
entirely until they are no longer an EGC. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no additional changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this
annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III
Certain information required by Part III of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K is omitted from this report because we are incorporating by reference to the definitive Proxy Statement for

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and
Corporate Governance
Information required by this item is incorporated
herein by reference to the information from the Proxy Statement under the sections entitled “Election of Directors,” “Nomination
of Directors,” and “Corporate Governance – Board Committees,” except for the information required with respect
to our executive officers, which has been included under the heading “Executive Officers” in Item 1, Part I of this Form
10-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Certain information required by this item is

The information required by tis item is incorporated
herein by reference to the information from the Proxy Statement under the sections entitled “Share Ownership of Certain Beneficial

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions and Director Independence
The following is a description
of transactions within the last two fiscal years to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed
$120,000, and in which any of our executive officers, directors or holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, or an immediate
family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we
paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or amounts that
would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions with unrelated third parties.
Transactions with MIRALOGX LLC
Since January 1, 2023, MIRALOGX and The Starwood
Trust, a separate Trust established by our founder, have advanced funds on behalf of Bay Shore Trust to our company in order to fund
operating activities. The total amount advanced and outstanding as of November 30, 2023, was $1.7 million. These advances were converted
into 837,841 shares of our common stock on November 30, 2023 at a conversion rate of $2.05 per share (after giving effect to our 1-for-2.05
reverse stock split that occurred on December 11, 2023) pursuant to a conversion agreement that resulted in a loss of $4.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023 and a remaining balance as of December 31, 2023 of $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining
balances due to Miralogx and Starwood Trust total $0.055 and $0.037 million respectively.
On August 11, 2023, we entered into the Initial
MIRALOGX License Agreement with MIRALOGX, which is an intellectual property development and holding company established by our founder
and the inventor of Telomir-1, Jonnie R. Williams, Sr. See “Business– Intellectual Property”. MIRALOGX is wholly owned
by the Bay Shore Trust, and Mr. Williams does not have voting or dispositive power over the shares of the Company held by Bay Shore Trust,
and Mr. Williams is not an officer or director of the Bay Shore Trust. On November 10, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Initial
MIRALOGX License Agreement, pursuant to which we acquired the license to the non-human applications of the “Licensed Products.
This amendment was reaffirmed by new management on October 18, 2024.
We were also a party to an Agreement for Shared
Lease Costs, dated April 1, 2023, with MIRALOGX and MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., under which we have agreed to pay our pro rata share
of the operating usage costs owing by MIRALOGX under an aircraft lease agreement between MIRALOGX and Supera Aviation I LLC (“Supera
Aviation”) based on our usage of the leased aircraft each month. No amounts are payable by us under this agreement unless and to
the extent we choose to utilize the leased aircraft, and we may discontinue the use of the aircraft and terminate this agreement at any
time. Supera Aviation is a company owned by Starwood Trust, a trust established by Mr. Williams. For the year ended December 31, 2024,
the Company incurred $0.4 million in expenses under the aircraft lease agreement. The aircraft lease was terminated in April 2024 and
no other costs will be incurred under this agreement.
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 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 December 31, 2024, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Starwood Note.
Further, on December 9, 2024, Starwood Trust
entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Company to purchase 142,857 shares of unregistered common stock at $7 a share for a
total of $1.0 million in proceeds to the Company.
Investment from Largest Shareholder
On May 19, 2025, we entered into an agreement
to raise $3 million in equity financing through a direct investment by The Bayshore Trust, an entity affiliated with our largest shareholder.
The transaction was structured as a straight restricted common stock deal with no warrants. We issued 333,334 restricted shares of our
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”). We 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.
59
Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors adopted a written policy
regarding the review and approval of related party transactions. Our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall
review and approve or disapprove any related party transactions, which are transactions between us and related persons in which the aggregate
amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material
interest. Our policy regarding transactions between us and related persons will provide that a related person is defined as a director,
executive officer, nominee for director or greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, in each case since the beginning of
the most recently completed year, and any of their immediate family members.
Certain of the foregoing disclosures are summaries
of certain provisions of our related party agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of such
agreements. Because these descriptions are only summaries of the applicable agreements, they do not necessarily contain all of the information
that you may find useful. Copies of certain of the agreements have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this
Annual Report is a part and are available electronically on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov .
As a matter of corporate governance policy, we
have not and will not make loans to officers or loan guarantees available to “promoters” as that term is commonly understood
by the SEC and state securities authorities.
All future transactions between us and our officers,
directors or five percent stockholders, and respective affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated
third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who
had access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or independent legal counsel.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Audit Fees.
The Company appointed Salberg & Company P.A

The above amounts include interim procedures

Tax Fees.

P.A for tax services.
All Other Fees. None
The Audit Committee of our board of directors
has established its pre-approval policies and procedures, pursuant to which the Audit Committee approved the foregoing audit and non-audit
services provided by Salberg in 2025 and Cherry Bekaert LLP and Salberg in 2024. Consistent with the Audit Committee’s responsibility
for engaging our independent auditors, all audit and permitted non-audit services require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The full
Audit Committee approves proposed services and fee estimates for these services. The Audit Committee chairperson has been designated
by the Audit Committee to approve any audit-related services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
Any non-audit service must be approved by the full Audit Committee. Services approved by the Audit Committee chairperson are communicated
to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting and the Audit Committee reviews services and fees for the fiscal year at each
such meeting. Pursuant to these procedures, the Audit Committee approved the foregoing services provided by Salberg & Company P.A
and Cherry Bekaert LLP.

Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company used approximately $3.7 million of cash in operations and had a net loss of $10.4 million
during the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s Plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

to the financial statements
DECEMBER
31, 2025 and 2024
Note 1. Description of business and summary
of significant accounting policies
Overview
Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(“Telomir” or the “Company”) was formed in August 2021 and is a Florida-incorporated 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.
As used herein, the Company’s common stock,
no par value per share, is referred to as the “Common Stock” and the Company’s preferred stock, no par value per share,
is referred to as the “Preferred Stock.
Initial public offering
On February 13, 2024, the Company closed its
initial public offering (the “IPO”) consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $ 7.00 per share for approximately
$ 7.0 million in gross proceeds. After deducting the underwriting commission and other offering expenses totaling $ 1.2 million, the net
proceeds to the Company were $ 5.8 million. The Common Stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on February 9, 2024 under the
symbol “TELO” (See Note 7 “Common Stock”).
Proposed merger
The Company and TELI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a related party private
company incorporated under the laws of Delaware (“TELI”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization,
dated November 20, 2025, and as amended on February 4, 2026 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which a wholly
owned subsidiary of Telomir will merge with and into TELI, with TELI surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Telomir (the “Merger”),
subject to shareholder approval. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common
stock of TELI, $ 0.0001 par value per share (“TELI Common Stock”), will be converted into the right to receive such number
of Telomir Common Stock as is calculated based on the exchange ratio of the shares for the Merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).
The Exchange Ratio is calculated using the relative company valuations of each of Telomir and TELI, as determined by a third-party valuation
firm (as further described herein). It is expected that shareholders of TELI will receive one share of Telomir Common Stock for each
share of TELI Common Stock held (the “Merger Share Consideration”). The Telomir Common Stock issued as the consideration
will not be registered for trading under the Securities Act. The Merger will result in an alignment of U.S. and non-U.S. rights to Telomir-1
within a single public company structure, thereby simplifying global development and partnership efforts. As a result of the Merger,
TELO will own the entire worldwide intellectual property portfolio and development programs related to Telomir-1. See Note 5, Merger
Agreement.
F- 7
Revenue recognition
The Company currently has no source of revenue.
Miscellaneous income, including interest, is recognized when earned by the Company.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant
to the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC
740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and
liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any
net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of ASC
740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the
merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC
740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all
available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the
resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions
that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions
taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying
balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The
Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded
a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition
of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the
purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion
and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity
would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based
solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of
the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.
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.
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 and cash equivalent balances at two financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”). The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the FDIC up to $ 250,000 . On December 31, 2025
and 2024, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $ 7.0 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively. To reduce its risk
associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution
in which it holds deposits. 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.
F- 8
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 forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
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. 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).
The Company considers the carrying amount of
prepaid assets and all current liabilities to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those elements.
Earnings per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance
with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year
ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include the shares of the Company issued and outstanding during such period, on a weighted
average basis. 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. As of December
31, 2025 there were 2,814,057 common stock warrants and 4,187,670 common stock options that were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share, because to do so would have an antidilutive effect. As of December 31, 2024 there were 2,814,057 stock warrants and
2,352,670 stock options that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because to do so would have an antidilutive
effect.
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet
adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The new standard requires a company to expand its existing
income tax disclosures, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for the Company
beginning in fiscal year 2025. The Company applied the amendments prospectively for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the impact
of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2025, since the amendments require only enhancement of existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes
to the Company’s financial statements.
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.
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 December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $ 7.3 million. The Company raised approximately $ 9.6 million in 2025, used
approximately $ 3.7 million of cash in operations during the year ended December 31, 2025, had a net loss of $ 10.4 million in 2025 and
had stockholders’ equity of approximately $ 5.9 million at December 31, 2025, versus stockholders’ equity of approximately
$ 0.6 million at December 31, 2024.
F- 9
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 related party financings-see
Note 4, an initial public offering – see Note 1, and ATM financings. Additional sources of financing may be sought by the Company.
However, there can be no assurance that any fundraising will be achieved on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
As of the date of filing this Annual 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 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 owned by a trust established by the Company’s founder—a related party to the Company and greater than 10 % shareholder.
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 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 parties balances and transactions
Due to Officer
On May 27, 2025, 400,000 fully vested common
shares were granted for services to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Erez Aminov, who is the son-in-law of Jonnie R. Williams
(see below). The shares were valued at $ 840,000 based on the stock quoted trading price at the grant date and were expensed immediately
as compensation expense. In December 2025, Mr. Aminov transferred $ 155,518 to the Company, for the Company to use to pay certain payroll
withholding taxes Mr. Aminov owed as a result of this RSU grant. These payroll taxes ultimately were not paid in the Company’s
payroll processing. Therefore, in January 2026, $ 155,518 was paid back to Mr. Aminov so he can remit this amount directly to the IRS.
The company, however, did remit the employer portion of his Medicare taxes totaling $ 12,180 in 2025.
Due from related parties
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company provided working capital advances to companies under common control. These advances were due on demand and are non-interest bearing.
Amounts due from related parties as of December 31, 2023 were $ 0.13 million. In 2024, the company under common control was dissolved
and therefore the amount due become uncollectable and was written off and reflected as credit loss expense, which is included in general
and administration expenses. As of December 31, 2024, there was no amount due from related parties.
F- 10
Due to related parties
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the
Company received working capital advances from related party companies under common control. These advances are due on demand and are
non-interest bearing. During the year ended December 31, 2025, a related party, MIRALOGX, shipped pharmaceutical chemicals to Telomir’s
service provider for ongoing research at a cost of approximately $ 224,800 . As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts due to related
parties is $ 318,234 and $ 93,432 , respectively.
Investment from Largest Shareholder
On May 19, 2025, 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, Jonnie R. Williams, Sr. 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. In July 2025, an
additional $ 2 million was received, for the issuance of 666,666 shares.
Bay Shore Trust Line of Credit
On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into a
Promissory Note and Loan Agreement with the Bay Shore Trust, a trust established by the Company’s founder, Jonnie R. Williams,
Sr., and under which various of his family members are beneficiaries. Under this Promissory Note and Loan Agreement (the “Bay Shore
Note”), the Company had the right to borrow up to an aggregate of $ 5 million from the Bay Shore Trust at any time up to the second
anniversary of the issuance of the Bay Shore Note or, if earlier, upon the completion of the Company’s IPO. As of December 31,
2025 and 2024, the line of credit is no longer available as the IPO was completed in February 2024.
In consideration of the loan facility provided
by the Bay Shore Trust, the Company issued to the Bay Shore Trust a Common Stock purchase warrant on June 15, 2023 giving the Bay Shore
Trust the right to purchase up to 2,439,025 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 3.73 per share (See Note 7).
Starwood Trust Line of Credit and Stock
Purchase Agreement
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, Jonnie R. Williams, Sr. who is the sole owner of Bay Shore Trust as well as our largest shareholder,
and under which various of his family members are beneficiaries. 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 September 24, 2026, 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 contains default provisions in which in the event of the Company misses payment, makes false representations,
fails to comply in any material respect to covenants, files for bankruptcy, or experiences a material adverse change in is assets or
operations than the Company is considered in default and the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest is due immediately. 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Starwood Note.
Further, on December 9, 2024, Starwood Trust
entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Company to purchase 142,857 shares of unregistered common stock at $ 7 a share for a
total of $ 1.0 million in proceeds to the Company.
License agreement - See Note 3
Related Party Travel Costs
On April 1, 2023 the Company entered into an
Agreement For Shared Lease Costs (the “Shared Agreement”) with MIRALOGX, LLC, a related party under which we have agreed
to pay our pro rata share of the operating usage costs owing by MIRALOGX under an aircraft lease agreement between MIRALOGX and Supera
Aviation I LLC (“Supera Aviation”) based on our usage of the leased aircraft each month. No amounts are payable by the Company
under this agreement unless and to the extent the Company chooses to utilize the leased aircraft, and the Company may discontinue the
use of the aircraft and terminate this agreement at any time. Supera Aviation is a company owned by Starwood Trust, a trust established
by Mr. Williams, the Company’s founder and largest shareholder. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the
Company incurred nil and $ 0.37 million, respectively, in expenses under the aircraft lease agreement. The aircraft lease was terminated
in April 2024 and no other costs have been incurred under this agreement since the lease termination (See Note 6 Variable lease costs).
F- 11
Related Party Rental Agreement -
see Note 6 for Variable lease costs.
Note 5. Proposed Merger Agreement
The Company and TELI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
related party private company incorporated under the laws of Delaware (“TELI”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization, dated November 20, 2025, and as amended on February 4, 2026 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”),
pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of Telomir will merge with and into TELI, with TELI surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Telomir (the “Merger”), subject to shareholder approval. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”),
each outstanding share of common stock of TELI, $ 0.0001 par value per share (“TELI Common Stock”), will be converted into
the right to receive such number of Telomir Common Stock as is calculated based on the exchange ratio of the shares for the Merger (the
“Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio is calculated using the relative company valuations of each of Telomir and TELI, as
determined by an independent valuation firm. It is expected that shareholders of TELI will receive one share of Telomir Common Stock
for each share of TELI Common Stock held (the “Merger Share Consideration”). The Telomir Common Stock issued as the consideration
will not be registered for trading under the Securities Act. The Merger will result in an alignment of U.S. and non-U.S. rights to Telomir-1
within a single public company structure, thereby simplifying global development and partnership efforts. As a result of the Merger,
Telomir will own the entire worldwide intellectual property portfolio and development programs related to Telomir-1.
The transaction is expected to be recorded
as an asset acquisition from a related party at acquired cost basis with two assets to be acquired, the license agreement and
$ 1,000,000 in cash or marketable securities. TELI is a newly formed legal entity with no revenue, no employees, no facilities, and
no infrastructure. TELI’s assets as of the Merger Date will consist exclusively of the $ 1,000,000 in cash or marketable
securities and the Telo-1 license agreement with MIRALOGX. MIRALOGX is the licensor of the Company’s and TELI’s rights
to Telomir-1. MIRALOGX is a separate intellectual property development company owned by the Bayshore Trust. The Bayshore Trust, a
related party, is also TELI’s largest stockholder. The license agreement grants rights to develop and commercialize the
Telomir-1 compound in the United Arab Amirates, Australia, Canada, China, European Union, Israel, India, Japan, South Korea, Mexico,
Argentina, Taiwan and Uruguay. No other tangible or intangible assets, such as equipment, customer relationships, or developed
technologies, will be transferred. The contingent consideration to Telomir in the transaction consists of two possible payments.
Certain shareholders of TELI will agree to provide $ 2 million upon FDA acceptance of an Investigational New Drug or IND application
for Telomir-1, and $ 2 million upon initiation of a Phase 1/2 study.
Note 6. Leases
The Company’s former corporate headquarters
was located in Baltimore, Maryland, which included a lease for office space. This lease began in November 2022 and expired in April 2024.
The lease was not renewed. To align with the accounting and administrative staff detailed below, the Company moved all remaining corporate
activities in April 2024 to the shared space in Tampa, Florida referenced below within variable lease costs. In September 2024, the Company
decided to no longer utilize the shared space and moved to a virtual office model. The Company has not had a physical office space since
October 2024.
Variable lease costs
Variable lease costs primarily include utilities,
property taxes, and other operating costs that are passed on from the lessor for the former corporate headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland.
Variable lease costs related to the usage of the MIRALOGX airplane include usage expenses, which includes pilot expenses, jet fuel and
general flight expenses that totaled nil and $ 0.32 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Beginning August 1, 2023, the Company’s
accounting and administrative staff began sharing office space with a related party in Tampa, Florida. During the year ended December
31, 2024, this variable least cost related to the Tampa, Florida space totaled $ 0.02 million. The Company did not have lease costs during
the year ended December 31, 2025.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

On February 13, 2024, the Company closed its
initial public offering consisting of 1,000,000 shares at a price of $ 7.00 per share for approximately $ 7.0 million
in gross proceeds. After deducting the underwriting commission and other offering expenses totaling $ 1.2 million, the net proceeds
to the Company were $ 5.8 million (the “IPO”).
On December 9, 2024, Starwood Trust, a related
party, entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Company to purchase 142,857 shares of unregistered common stock at $ 7 a share
for a total of $ 1.0 million in proceeds to the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, deferred
offering costs from December 31, 2023 of $ 303,281 and offering costs of $ 863,744 incurred in 2024 were charged against additional paid
in capital.
2025
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 to be sold of up to $ 100,000,000 . During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold a total
of 3,218,300 shares of its common stock, at a weighted average price of $ 2.12 for total proceeds of $ 6,553,209 , net of costs of $ 72,092 .
On May 19, 2025, 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 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 666,667 shares.
On May 27, 2025, 400,000 fully vested
common shares were granted for services to the Company’s CEO. The restricted shares were valued at $ 840,000 based on the stock
quoted trading price at the grant date and were expensed immediately as compensation expense.

Private placement Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company issued to the 2023 Private Placement investors a Common Stock warrant the right to purchase up to 268,025 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $ 15.42 per share. The Company also issued to the placement agent a Common Stock warrant the right to purchase
up to 67,007 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 3.73 per share. Both issuances of warrants are immediately vested and will
be exercisable any time until the day that is one year plus ninety days from the date an Investigational New Drug, or IND, filing is
made with the FDA.
Bay Shore Trust Warrants
In consideration of the line of credit provided
by the Bay Shore Trust, the Company issued to the Bay Shore Trust a common stock purchase warrant on June 15, 2023 giving the Bay Shore
Trust the right to purchase up to 2,439,025 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 3.73 per share. This warrant
will expire five years after the date of grant.. The fair value of the warrants were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes
valuation model and level 3 inputs based on assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free
interest rate, which resulted in $ 5.95 million of deferred financing costs. In 2023 this cost was recorded as deferred financing
costs and additional paid in capital on the balance sheet and was amortized straight-line over the term of the line of credit (which
is 24 months). Associated amortization of deferred finance costs was recorded to interest expense on the statement of operations. The
line of credit expired upon the IPO occurring in February 2024, and as such the remaining deferred financing costs associated with the
warrant was fully amortized to interest expense in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the warrant is fully amortized (see Note 4).
On November 22, 2024, Bay Shore Trust transferred
100,000 warrants to an unaffiliated party as part of a gift transfer.
In December 2024, 10,000 Common Stock warrants
were exercised at an exercise price of $ 3.73 per share and the Company issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock upon such exercise
in exchange for $ 37,300 delivered to the Company.
Underwriter warrants
In connection with the IPO in February 2024,
the Company issued 50,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock to the IPO underwriter (or its designees) at an exercise price
of $ 7.00 which are exercisable immediately and expire in the four-and-a-half-year period commencing six months after the commencement
of sales in the IPO. The warrants provide for registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right and piggyback registration
rights that expire 5 years from the commencement of sales of the offering) and customary anti-dilution provisions as permitted under
FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8). The fair value of the warrants were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and level
3 inputs based on assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate, which resulted
in $ 0.2 million of equity issuance costs. The warrants were considered equity issuance costs and therefore there was no financial statement
impact during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Key assumptions used to value underwriter warrants in February 2024
are as follows:

2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In December 2023, the Company’s Board of
Directors adopted the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (“2023 Plan”). The 2023 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 Plan provides that 6,500,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan, all of which may be issued pursuant
to the exercise of incentive stock options.

Stock-based compensation
Stock options
The vesting period for stock options granted is generally
immediately to one year. All stock options granted under the 2023 Plan have a maximum contractual term of ten years.
The grant-date fair value of each option award
is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility,
expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. In 2024 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. Starting in 2025 expected price
volatility is based solely on the Company’s trading history for its common stock.
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.
The weighted average assumptions for grants are
provided in the following table:

Beginning in 2022, in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 174, Qualified Research Expenditures are capitalized for tax purposes and amortized over a period of five years.
Accordingly, for income tax purposes, and as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset
totaling approximately $ 0.7 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively, related to the timing difference between GAAP and Tax recognition
of these expenditures. Under current law, beginning in tax years after December 31, 2024, domestic research and experimental expenditures may again be deducted
currently for U.S. federal income tax purposes; however, the Company continues to carry deferred tax assets related to research costs
capitalized in prior periods that will reverse as amortization deductions are claimed.

ASC Topic 740 requires that a deferred tax amount
be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than
50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce
the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets generated by net operating loss carryforwards as it has determined that such amounts may not be recognizable,
given the historical losses of the Company to date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a cumulative federal net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $ 30.2
million. The net operating loss carryforward have no expiry date.
