Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Dollars stated in thousands, except per-share amounts.
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ''believes,'' ''expects,'' ''may,'' ''will,'' ''should,'' ''seeks,'' ''approximately,'' ''intends,'' ''plans,'' ''estimates'' or ''anticipates'' or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. Any statements we make relating to our future operations, performance and results, and anticipated liquidity are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including, without limitation, in conjunction with the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q, are disclosed in "Item 1-Business, Item 1A - Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K (including the information presented therein under the caption Risk Factors), together with our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and other publicly available information. All amounts herein are unaudited.
Our Company
Through our Fintech segment, we provide next generation blockchain-powered technologies to enable a migration to a new global financial paradigm, and, through our Biotechnology segment, we are focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause chronic pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive and non-sedative pain-relieving properties.
During the periods disclosed in this Quarterly Report, we operated three reportable segments:
Fintech
Our Fintech segment provides next generation blockchain-powered technologies for tokenization, trading, clearing, settlement, payment, and safe-keeping of digital assets
Biotechnology
Our Biotechnology segment is focused on finding treatments for conditions that cause severe pain and bringing to market drugs with non-addictive pain-relieving properties. We have previously announced our intention to capitalize a subsidiary with certain of our biotechnology assets, acquire an additional biotechnology asset, and then engage in a financing of that subsidiary. The short-term intended result of that series of transactions would be for to decouple it from us so that it would operate on a stand-alone basis. The Biotech segment is being presented as discontinued operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024 (see Note 4 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Corporate and Other
In August 2025, the Company closed a transformative $1.5 billion registered direct offering and concurrent private placement - led by World Liberty Financial, Inc. - specifically to launch our WLFI Treasury Strategy. This "capital with a purpose" financing positioned ALT5 as one of the most significant institutional holders of WLFI, securing a meaningful stake in the native governance and utility token of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem.
We view WLFI as a scarce, governance-enabled digital asset with long-term capital preservation and appreciation potential, inflation-hedging characteristics, and embedded productivity through protocol participation and revenue-sharing
mechanisms. With a fixed maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, WLFI powers decentralized lending, borrowing, staking, and governance within a rapidly growing DeFi platform.
A core driver of WLFI's value is its economic linkage to USD1, the ecosystem's flagship U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin. Issued on a fully reserved, audited, and redeemable basis, USD1 aims to establish itself a a primary medium of exchange for institutions and consumers alike. Increased adoption of USD1 directly accrues value to WLFI holders through protocol fees, governance rights, and ecosystem growth.
The Company is uniquely positioned to accelerate real-world utility for WLFI by integrating it into our existing payment and trading infrastructure, which already serves clients in North America, Europe, and Asia. Our vision includes collaborating with WLFI to help enable everyday commerce - such as retailers accepting WLFI or USD1, with instant fiat conversion, cross-border B2B settlements, and tokenized assets settled using WLFI and/or USD1 as the medium of exchange.
Our policy remains a committed long-term "HODL" approach, with future acquisitions funded through operating cash flows, structured debt, and selective capital raises. Sales are restricted to liquidity requirements or material portfolio rebalancing events.
Our Corporate and Other segment consists of WLFI assets, including any additions, redemptions, or mark-to-market changes in value, are recorded within the Company's Corporate and Other segment.
Our Corporate and Other segment also consists of certain corporate general and administrative costs.
Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA", which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business' ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures, and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company's financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by U.S. GAAP, and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flows available to fund all our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As companies often define non-U.S. GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of September 27, 2025, our cash on hand was $7.3 million. Approximately $3.5 million of cash has been fully reserved in connection with a legal matter, as further described in Note 16 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We intend to raise funds to support future development of JAN 123 either through capital raises or structured arrangements, which would include effectuating our previously announced intention to capitalize a subsidiary with certain of our biotechnology assets, acquire an additional biotechnology asset, and then engage in a financing of that subsidiary. The short-term intended result of that series of transactions would be for us to own a controlling interest in that subsidiary, but to decouple it from us so that it would operate on a stand-alone basis, although its financial statements would continue to be consolidated with ours for as long as we have a controlling interest.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of future capital raises or structured settlements and cash flows from the acquisition of ALT5 Subsidiary to fund the required testing to obtain FDA approval of JAN 123, as well as to fund our day-to-day operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. While we will actively pursue these additional sources of financing, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured. Please review the transaction
