Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the identification, development and commercialization of treatments for Osteosarcoma (OS) and other solid tumors. Our mission is to address the significant need for new treatments in cancers of the bone in children and young adults. Osteosarcoma is an extremely challenging and often aggressive cancer that has particular treatment challenges due to its location, changing genotypes and high metastases rates. We are currently seeking to answer the call for new treatments that will prevent metastasis and the recurrence of metastases with our lead core product candidate OST-HER2 (also known as OST31-164), a cancer immunotherapy product candidate that produces a cellular immune response against the cancer antigen HER2.

In the first quarter of 2025, we announced that our Phase IIb clinical trial achieved its primary endpoint with statistical significance. In October 2025, we announced final two-year overall survival data from the Phase IIb trial, in which 75% (27 of 36 evaluable patients) of OST-HER2-treated patients achieved two-year overall survival from the most recent pulmonary resection, compared with 40% in historical control patients (p < 0.0001). OST-HER2 was observed to be well-tolerated in the study. We believe the results, combined with the product's safety profile and unmet clinical need, support the potential for regulatory approval from the FDA.

We have conducted regulatory meetings with the FDA, the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Representatives from these agencies indicated that overall survival, when supported by biomarker data, may be considered an appropriate clinical endpoint to support conditional marketing authorization. We are currently analyzing patient samples from our Phase IIb trial to assess potential correlations between clinical outcomes and immune system biomarker activation, with results expected in November 2025. We expect to submit a conditional Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the MHRA in December 2025, a Biologics License Application under the FDA's Accelerated Approval Program in January 2026, and an MAA to the EMA in the first quarter of 2026. If approved, we would become eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher from the FDA.

Upon success in gaining regulatory approval from the FDA with OST-HER2 in Osteosarcoma, we intend to evaluate OST-HER2's potential use, both alone and in combination with HER2 targeting antibodies such as Herceptin®, in other solid tumors including breast, esophageal and lung cancers. OST-HER2 has potential uses in both the prevention of metastases in solid tumors, and therapeutically against HER2-expressing solid tumors treated with HER targeting antibodies.

We also own rights to OST-Tunable Drug Conjugate (OST-tADC) platform, a next generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) silicone dioxide linker technology. "Tunable" is a term used in drug development that refers to the properties that can be influenced by chemical modifications, and "antibody-drug conjugate" or ADC is a term used to describe a drug made up of a monoclonal antibody attached to a cytotoxic payload, or a highly active and toxic pharmaceutical molecule, through chemical linkers. The ADC links an antibody that can home in on a targeted tumor to deploy the cytotoxic payload or toxic agent against the tumor. Furthering our founding mission, we intend to investigate clinical indications for OST-tADC in Osteosarcoma and other solid tumors.

Recent Developments

PIPE Financing

On December 24, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "PIPE Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the "Purchasers"), substantially all of whom were existing stockholders of our company, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers immediately separable units (the "Units"), with each Unit being comprised of (i) one share of Series A senior convertible preferred stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of common stock (each, a "Series A Warrant" and such shares, the "Warrant Shares"), at a price per Unit of $4.00, for aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $6 million and not more than $10 million (the "PIPE Financing"). At two closings occurring on December 31, 2024 and January 14, 2025, we issued to the PIPE investors an aggregate of (i) 1,775,750 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) Series A Warrants initially exercisable into 1,775,750 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds from the PIPE Financing, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated PIPE Financing expenses, were approximately $7,103,000.

Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC ("Brookline"), acted as exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the securities in the PIPE Financing. We agreed to pay Brookline an aggregate cash fee (the "Cash Fee") equal to (i) 7% of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the securities in the PIPE Financing to Purchasers other than certain Purchasers identified on a schedule thereto ("Reduced Fee Purchasers") plus (ii) 3% of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the securities in the PIPE Financing to Reduced Fee Purchasers, plus expenses; provided that Ceros Financial Services, Inc., Brookline's selected dealer for the PIPE Financing ("Ceros"), is entitled to up to 33.3% of the Cash Fee.

In addition, we agreed to pay Brookline or its designee a fee in the form of warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the "Agent Warrants"). The Agent Warrants are initially exercisable into a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) 7% of the number of shares of common stock initially issuable pursuant to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Purchasers other than Reduced Fee Purchasers in the PIPE Financing plus (ii) 3% of the number of shares of common stock initially issuable pursuant to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Reduced Fee Purchasers in the PIPE Financing; provided that, Ceros is entitled to up to 33.3% of the Agent Warrants. The terms of the Agent Warrants are substantially similar to the terms of the Series A Warrants. At two closings occurring on December 31, 2024 and January 14, 2025, (i) Brookline received an aggregate cash fee of $159,685 and the right to receive Agent Warrants initially exercisable for an aggregate of 39,918 shares of common stock, and (ii) Ceros received an aggregate cash fee of $79,723 and the right to receive Agent Warrants initially exercisable for an aggregate of 19,930 shares of common stock.

The PIPE Purchase Agreement required us to seek stockholder approval for any transactions contemplated by the PIPE Purchase Agreement and the related documents for which the rules of the NYSE American require stockholder approval ("Stockholder Approval") and to hold a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval not later than April 9, 2025.

On April 9, 2025, we convened a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") for the Stockholder Approval, in accordance with NYSE American LLC Company Guide Section 713(a), of the issuance of shares of our common stock upon (i) the conversion of 1,775,750 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the exercise of the Series A Warrants, and (iii) the exercise of the Agent Warrants in connection with our PIPE Financing, in each case without regard to any limits on conversion or exercise therein and in amounts collectively equal to or exceeding 20% of our common stock outstanding as of December 24, 2024 (including upon the operation of applicable price reset and anti-dilution provisions and/or the reduction of conversion prices and exercise prices) (the "Issuance Proposal"). The Issuance Proposal was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders at the Special Meeting.

Our Acquisition of HER2 and Lm-Related Assets

On April 9, 2025, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2025 (the "HER2 Purchase Agreement"), between us and Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Advaxis, Inc. ("Ayala"), we completed the acquisition of the Lm-based immune-oncology programs and related intellectual property assets (the "HER2 Assets") from Ayala. The HER2 Assets include two investigational new drug (IND) filings with the FDA: (i) ADXS-503 for non-small cell lung cancer; and (ii) ADXS-504 for prostate cancer.

In consideration for the purchase of the HER2 Assets, we agreed to assume certain specified liabilities and to pay an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000, which was paid as follows: (i) $400,000 to Ayala ($150,000 of which was transferred upon signing of the HER2 Purchase Agreement and the remainder on the closing date); (ii) $100,000 to a third party on behalf of Ayala on the closing date; and (iii) $7,500,000 worth of shares of our common stock, or 4,774,637 shares based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the closing date (the "Ayala Consideration Shares").

Because the issuance of the Ayala Consideration Shares would have required us to issue more than 19.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to such issuance (the "NYSE Ownership Limitation"), we issued to Ayala (i) 2,164,215 shares of common stock, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,166,381 shares of common stock (the "Ayala Warrant" and the shares of common stock issuable thereunder, the "Ayala Warrant Shares"). On October 21, 2025, we obtained stockholder approval in accordance with NYSE American LLC Company Guide Section 713 and subsequently issued to Ayala the remaining 444,041 shares of common stock (the "Ayala Additional Consideration Shares").

Ayala entered into a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Ayala has agreed not to trade or transfer, subject to certain customary exceptions, any of the Ayala Consideration Shares (including the Ayala Warrant Shares) for a period of 180 days following the closing of the transaction.

Warrant Exercise Inducement and Exchange Offer

On July 11, 2025, we completed a final closing of a warrant exercise inducement and exchange offer (the "First Offering"). On September 2, 2025, we closed on a second warrant exercise inducement and exchange offer (the "Second Offering" and, together with the First Offering, the "Offerings"). The First Offering and Second Offering were made to holders (the "Holders") of certain of our existing warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, having a then current exercise price of $1.12 per share, originally issued to the Holders pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement (the "Existing Warrants"), during the period beginning on June 20, 2025 and ending on July 10, 2025, with respect to the First Offering (the "First Inducement Period"), and during the period beginning on August 29, 2025 and ending on September 1, 2025, with respect to the Second Offering (the "Second Inducement Period" and, together with the First Inducement Period, the "Inducement Periods").

During the Inducement Periods, we entered into inducement offer letter agreements (the "Inducement Letters") with the Holders of Existing Warrants, pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,566,391 shares of our common stock in consideration of our agreement to issue new warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,566,391 shares of our common stock (the "New Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The New Warrants are immediately exercisable from the date of issuance and have a term of exercise of five years from such date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Letters, if the exercise of any Existing Warrant by a Holder would have resulted in such Holder exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation contained in the Existing Warrants, the Holder agreed to pre-fund the exercise of its Existing Warrants for cash at $1.119 per share. Upon such pre-funding, the exercise price of the Holder's Existing Warrants was reduced to $0.001 per share (the "Remaining Exercise Price"), and such Existing Warrants became exercisable for our common stock solely at the Remaining Exercise Price. A Holder pre-funded the exercise of 937,500 of its Existing Warrants and agreed to receive 937,500 prepaid shares of common stock that will be issued in the future.

We engaged an SEC registered broker dealer and FINRA member (the "Solicitation Agent") to act as our exclusive warrant solicitation agent in connection with the Offerings and agreed to pay the Solicitation Agent a cash fee equal to (i) 5.0% of the total gross cash proceeds received from the exercise by the Holders of their Existing Warrants during the First Inducement Period and (ii) 1.5% of the total gross cash proceeds received from the exercise by the Holders of their Existing Warrants during the Second Inducement Period. We also agreed to pay the Solicitation Agent up to $15,000 for its legal and other expenses.

The gross proceeds to us from the Offerings, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated Offering expenses, were approximately $6,398,358. We are using the net proceeds from the Offerings to support U.S. and international regulatory and pre-commercial efforts aimed at securing marketing authorizations for OST-HER2 in the prevention or delay of recurrent, fully resected, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma, advance strategic alternatives for our OS Animal Health subsidiary, close out and report on our OST-504 (previously ADXS-504) prostate cancer study, initiate AI-driven next-generation tADC product candidate modeling and for general corporate purposes.

We also agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form, including on Form S-1, if we are not then eligible to register securities on Form S-3) (the "Resale Registration Statement") providing for the resale of the shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants, within 30 calendar days of July 11, 2025, with respect to the First Offering, and September 2, 2025, with respect to the Second Offering, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within 60 calendar days (or within 90 calendar days in case of "full review" of the Resale Registration Statement by the SEC) following the initial filing of such Resale Registration Statement and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until the earlier of (i) the time no holder of the New Warrants owns any New Warrants or New Warrant Shares and (ii) the Delegend Date (as defined in the Inducement Letters).

ATM Equity Offering Program

On August 8, 2025, we entered into an at market issuance sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (each, a "Sales Agent" and, together, the "Sales Agents") relating to shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time having an aggregate offering price of up to $18,000,000 through or to the Sales Agents. We will pay each of the Sales Agents a total commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of common stock up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through it as agent under the Sales Agreement. The amount of proceeds we will receive will depend upon the actual number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which such shares are sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, are not determinable at this time. Sales of our common stock under the Sales Agreement are being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on August 25, 2025. As of the date of this filing, we have sold an aggregate of 189,600 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $384,888 pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that, in management's view, are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results of operations and most demanding on their calls on judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Warrant Liability

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Series A Warrants issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement are recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. We recognize the warrant instruments as a liability at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised or reclassified, and any change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Series A Warrants was measured using a Binomial simulation model. The determination of the fair value of the warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available, and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly. The derivative warrant liability is classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue. We did not recognize revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses are comprised primarily of research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and licensing costs.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research activities, including our drug discovery efforts, and the development of our product candidates, which include:

●

personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, for employees engaged in research and development functions;

●

expenses incurred in connection with our research programs, including under agreements with third parties, such as consultants and contractors and CROs;

●

the cost of developing and scaling our manufacturing process and manufacturing drug substance and drug product for use in our research and preclinical and clinical studies, including under agreements with third parties, such as consultants and contractors and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs); and

●

the cost of laboratory supplies and research materials.

We track our direct external research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis. These consist of costs that include fees, reimbursed materials, and other costs paid to consultants, contractors, CDMOs, and CROs in connection with our preclinical, clinical and manufacturing activities. We do not allocate employee costs, costs associated with our discovery efforts, and facilities expenses, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific product development programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified.

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase substantially as we advance OST-HER2 and OST-tADC into clinical development and expand our discovery, research and preclinical activities.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, consulting, investor and public relations and accounting and audit services.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research activities and development of our product candidates. We also anticipate that we will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, and director and officer insurance costs as well as investor and public relations expenses associated with operating as a public company.

Licensing Costs. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses and asset purchases are charged to licensing costs if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility which includes manufacturing, clinical, intellectual property and/or regulatory success which has no alternative future use. The licenses purchased by us require substantial completion of research and development and regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach technological feasibility.

Interest Expense. We evaluated the convertible notes issued by us from July 2018 to April 2024 in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"), and determined the convertible notes are considered share-settled debt and should be recorded as a liability. This conclusion was determined based on the debt providing the holder with a variable number of shares at settlement with an aggregate fair value equal to the debt instrument's outstanding principal. The general measurement guidance in ASC 480 requires obligations that can be settled in shares with a fixed monetary value at settlement (e.g., share-settled debt) to be carried at fair value unless other accounting guidance specifies another measurement attribute. It has been determined that the appropriate guidance for share-settled debt is ASC 835. As a result, the convertible notes were recorded at the amortized cost.

Cumulative Series A Preferred Stock Dividend. The Series A preferred stock dividend requirement represents the coupon dividends on our preferred stock that has since been converted and is identified as a separate component of our statement of operations to compute net income (loss) available to common stockholders. The coupon dividends are computed at 5% of the principal per annum and are recorded monthly. The cumulative accrued dividend as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $375,000 and $375,000, respectively. The Series A preferred stock was converted into common stock on a 1:1 basis in February 2024, and the last coupon dividend was issued in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Income Taxes. Since our inception, we have not recorded income tax benefits for the net operating losses incurred or the research and development tax credits generated in each year, due to the uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items.

For years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had federal net operating loss ("NOLs") of $22,236,580 and $16,269,893, respectively. The 2019 NOL carryforward of $292,144 will expire in tax years up through 2037. The NOLs generated in tax years 2020 and beyond will carry forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOLs is limited. We have provided a valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefits of the net deferred tax asset.

Our issuances of common stock have resulted in ownership changes as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); however, we have not conducted a Section 382 study to date. It is likely that a future analysis may result in the conclusion that a substantial portion, or perhaps substantially all, of our NOL carryforwards and R&D tax credit carryforwards will expire due to the limitations of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. As a result, the utilization of the carryforwards may be limited, and a portion of the carryforwards may expire unused. We are subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for the year 2021 due to the fact that NOL carryforwards exist going back to 2019 that may be utilized on a current or future year tax return.

Deferred Offering Costs. Deferred offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, printing and filing fees that we capitalized, which were offset against the gross proceeds from our initial public offering.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in vendor expenses associated with our pursuit for FDA approval on our Phase IIb clinical trial, as we compile data to submit to various governmental agencies, and a decrease in vendor expenses associated with our OST-tADC platform technology.

Research and development expenses were approximately $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in vendor expenses associated with our Phase IIb clinical trial, as we compile data to submit to various governmental agencies, and a decrease in vendor expenses associated with our OST-tADC platform technology.

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

		Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)		2025				2024				2025				2024

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the direct research and development expenses related to OST-HER2 were primarily lab fees, vendor expenses and staff payroll fees. In 2025, such expenses were primarily lab fees and related clinical support of approximately $1.0 million attributed to our Phase IIb clinical trial preparation, advisor fees of $5.2 million, and legal costs of $0.1 million as we completed IND-enabling studies. OST-tADC related direct research and development expenses were approximately $0.0 million and $0.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the direct research and development expenses related to OST-HER2 were primarily lab fees, vendor expenses and staff payroll fees. In 2025, such expenses were primarily lab fees and related clinical support of approximately $0.03 million attributed to our Phase IIb clinical trial preparation, and advisor fees of $3.3 million, as we completed IND-enabling studies. OST-tADC related direct research and development expenses were approximately $0.0 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $9.2 million compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These expenses were primarily attributed to marketing and investor relations costs and advisory fees associated with the PIPE Financing and equity line of credit.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $3.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. These expenses were primarily attributed to marketing and investor relations costs and advisory fees associated with the PIPE Financing and equity line of credit.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $0.0 million compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $0.0 million compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant

The Series A preferred stock coupon dividend requirement of $31,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 represents an expense that terminated during the period ended March 31, 2024 upon the conversion of our old Series A preferred shares into shares of our common stock. We issued Series A convertible preferred stock and detachable warrants on December 31, 2024 and January 14, 2025. The adjustment of the fair value of the warrant liability was $1.4 million and $0.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Losses

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our product candidates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported a net loss of approximately $15.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $55 million and $38 million, respectively. We expect to incur significant expenses at an increasing rate and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported a net loss of approximately $6.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash of approximately $1.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively. We have funded our operations to date primarily from the sale of our convertible notes and Series A securities in our private placements and cash exercises of our warrants, as well as the sale of our common stock in our initial public offering, which have provided total gross proceeds of $41.1 million as of September 30, 2025. We believe that the net proceeds from our private placements and initial public offering, together with our existing cash, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the next nine to twelve months.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

		September 30,
(In thousands)		2025				2024
Cash used in operating activities		$	(10,508	)		$	(4,908	)
Cash used in investing activities			(466	)			-
Cash provided by financing activities			7,318				6,727
Net increase (decrease) in cash		$	(3,656	)		$	1,819

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, operating activities used approximately $10.5 million and $4.9 million of cash, respectively, resulting from our net loss of approximately $15.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, offset by net non-cash charges of approximately $2.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, partially offset by net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of approximately $2.1 million and ($0.4) million, respectively.

Net cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of an increase (decrease) in accounts payable of approximately $1.7 million and $(0.94) million, respectively, an increase in accrued interest of approximately $0.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and a change in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.7 million and $(0.03) million, respectively. The change in accrued expenses of approximately $(0.13) million and $0.13 million was a portion of the use.

Non-cash charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were primarily the result of the changes in the fair value of our warrant liability of $(1.4) million and $0.0 million, respectively, combined with our common stock shares issued for services and our stock-based compensation of approximately $3.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively. Changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and prepaid expenses and other current assets in all periods were generally due to growth in our business, the advancement of our research programs and the timing of vendor invoicing and payments.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $7.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we saw funds raised from our Series A securities offering of $1.1 million and our warrant inducement exercise offering of $6.3 million.

Convertible Notes. We completed seven separate private financing transactions from July 2018 to April 2024 in which we issued convertible notes and raised total gross proceeds of $19,426,449 from accredited investors. All of the convertible notes were automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the closing of our initial public offering.

Demand Notes. On March 6, 2024 and June 28, 2024, we issued demand promissory notes to a lender who was an investor in one of our prior convertible notes rounds in a principal amount of $100,000 and $150,000, respectively. The demand notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and the principal plus all accrued interest is payable upon demand by such lender. If such notes are not paid on demand by us, interest will accrue at a rate of the lesser of 16% per annum and the highest rate of interest allowable under Maryland law.

As of August 14, 2024, we repaid the demand notes in full.

BlinkBio. On August 19, 2020, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $2,400,000 (the "BlinkBio Convertible Note") to BlinkBio, Inc., which was a related party because our former Chairman, Colin Goddard, Ph.D., is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BlinkBio, in exchange for the entry into the license agreement. On March 15, 2021, the principal and unpaid accrued interest of $100,000 of the BlinkBio Convertible Note converted into 1,302,082 shares of our Series A preferred stock and then distributed to BlinkBio stockholders. The BlinkBio Convertible Note had a conversion capitalization ceiling of $19.2 million, which limited the price a noteholder must pay in a convertible note-to-common stock conversion occurrence. On February 9, 2024, the 1,302,082 shares of our Series A preferred stock were converted into 651,041 shares of common stock (on a post-split basis).

TEDCO Grant. In May 2021, we received the first of two tranches from TEDCO's Rural & Underserved Business Recovery from Impact of Covid-19 (RUBRIC) Grant in the amount of $50,000. In October 2021, we received the second tranche of $50,000, which brought the total reimbursable grant amount to $100,000. We are obligated to report on and pay to TEDCO 3% of their quarterly revenues for a five-year period following the reward date. Income from grants and investments are not considered revenues. Royalties due to TEDCO are capped at 150% of the amount of the award, or $150,000. We have the option to eliminate the quarterly royalty obligation by making an advance payment prior to the end of the five-year period, in which case, we will receive a 10% reduction of the royalty cap percentage for each year prior to the expiration of the five-year reimbursement period that the grant is repaid in full. If we cease to meet eligibility requirements at any time, the reimbursement obligation will become due to TEDCO immediately; however, the discount for meeting the obligation will still apply.

PIPE Financing

On December 24, 2024, we entered into the PIPE Purchase Agreement with the selling stockholders, substantially all of whom were existing stockholders of the Company, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the selling stockholders the Units for aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $6 million and not more than $10 million. At two closings occurring on December 31, 2024 and January 14, 2025, we issued to the selling stockholders an aggregate of (i) 1,775,750 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) Series A Warrants initially exercisable into 1,775,750 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds from the closing of the PIPE Financing, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated PIPE Financing expenses, were approximately $7,103,000. The Purchase Agreement requires us to seek stockholder approval for any transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the related documents for which the rules of the NYSE American require stockholder approval ("Stockholder Approval") and to hold a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval not later than April 10, 2025. In the event Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the first meeting, we are required to call a meeting every four months seeking Stockholder Approval until Stockholder Approval is obtained.

On April 9, 2025, we convened the Special Meeting for the Stockholder Approval, in accordance with NYSE American LLC Company Guide Section 713(a), of the issuance of shares of our common stock upon (i) the conversion of 1,775,750 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the exercise of the Series A Warrants, and (iii) the exercise of the Agent Warrants in connection with our PIPE Financing, in each case without regard to any limits on conversion or exercise therein and in amounts collectively equal to or exceeding 20% of our common stock outstanding as of December 24, 2024 (including upon the operation of applicable price reset and anti-dilution provisions and/or the reduction of conversion prices and exercise prices). The Issuance Proposal was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders at the Special Meeting.

Brookline acted as exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the securities in the PIPE Financing. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, we agreed to pay Brookline an aggregate cash fee (the "Cash Fee") equal to (i) 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the PIPE Financing to selling stockholders other than certain selling stockholders identified on a schedule thereto ("Reduced Fee Purchasers") plus (ii) 3% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the PIPE Financing to Reduced Fee Purchasers, plus expenses; provided that Ceros is entitled to 33.3% of the Cash Fee.

In addition, we agreed to pay Brookline or its designees a fee in the form of the Agent Warrants. The Agent Warrants are initially exercisable into a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) 7% of the number of shares of common stock initially issuable pursuant to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Purchasers other than Reduced Fee Purchasers in the PIPE Financing plus (ii) 3% of the number of shares of common stock initially issuable pursuant to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued Reduced Fee Purchasers in the PIPE Financing; provided that, Ceros is entitled to up to 33.3% of the Agent Warrants. The terms of the Agent Warrants are substantially similar to the terms of the Series A Warrants. At two closings occurring on December 31, 2024 and January 14, 2025, (i) Brookline received an aggregate cash fee of $159,685 and 39,918 Agent Warrants, and (ii) Ceros received an aggregate cash fee of $79,723 and 19,930 Agent Warrants.

Warrant Exercise Inducement and Exchange Offer

On July 11, 2025, we completed the final closing of the First Offering. On September 2, 2025, we closed on the Second Offering. During the Inducement Periods, we entered into Inducement Letters with the Holders of Existing Warrants, pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,566,391 shares of our common stock in consideration of our agreement to issue New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,566,391 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The New Warrants are immediately exercisable from the date of issuance and have a term of exercise of five years from such date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Letters, if the exercise of any Existing Warrant by a Holder would have resulted in such Holder exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation contained in the Existing Warrants, the Holder agreed to pre-fund the exercise of its Existing Warrants for cash at $1.119 per share. Upon such pre-funding, the exercise price of the Holder's Existing Warrants was reduced to $0.001 per share, and such Existing Warrants became exercisable for our common stock solely at the Remaining Exercise Price. A Holder pre-funded the exercise of 937,500 of its Existing Warrants and agreed to receive 937,500 prepaid shares of common stock that will be issued in the future.

We engaged the Solicitation Agent to act as our exclusive warrant solicitation agent in connection with the Offerings and agreed to pay the Solicitation Agent a cash fee equal to (i) 5.0% of the total gross cash proceeds received from the exercise by the Holders of their Existing Warrants during the First Inducement Period and (ii) 1.5% of the total gross cash proceeds received from the exercise by the Holders of their Existing Warrants during the Second Inducement Period. We also agreed to pay the Solicitation Agent up to $15,000 for its legal and other expenses.

The gross proceeds to us from the Offerings, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated Offering expenses, were approximately $6,798,159. We are using the net proceeds from the Offerings to support U.S. and international regulatory and pre-commercial efforts aimed at securing marketing authorizations for OST-HER2 in the prevention or delay of recurrent, fully resected, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma, advance strategic alternatives for our OS Animal Health subsidiary, close out and report on our OST-504 (previously ADXS-504) prostate cancer study, initiate AI-driven next-generation tADC product candidate modeling and for general corporate purposes.

ATM Equity Offering Program

On August 8, 2025, we entered into the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agents relating to shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time having an aggregate offering price of up to $18,000,000 through or to the Sales Agents. We will pay each of the Sales Agents a total commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of common stock up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through it as agent under the Sales Agreement. The amount of proceeds we will receive will depend upon the actual number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which such shares are sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, are not determinable at this time. Sales of our common stock under the Sales Agreement are being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on August 25, 2025. As of the date of this filing, we have sold an aggregate of 189,600 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $384,888 pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with our CDMOs, CROs and other third parties to support preclinical research studies and testing and other development activities. These contracts are generally cancellable by us. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation.

License Obligations and Research Services

Advaxis. In November 2020, we entered into an amended and restated development, license and supply agreement with Advaxis, Inc. (now Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) ("Advaxis"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary Lm (Listeria monocytogenes)-LLO (Listeriolysin O) cancer immunotherapies. Pursuant to this agreement, Advaxis granted a license to us that allows us to utilize Advaxis' ADXS-HER2 construct patents to develop and commercialize ADXS-HER2, our lead product candidate (OST-HER2). The agreement was subsequently amended in April 2021 to modify the payment amounts for Milestones 2 and 3 listed in the table below. Under the terms of the amended agreement, we are required to pay to Advaxis (i) a one-time, non-refundable payment of $1,550,000 (the "License Commencement Payment") and (ii) certain amounts based on the achievement of the milestones described in the payment schedule below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, no payments were made. A $400,000 payment was made to Ayala, together with payment of stock consideration, in connection with our purchase of the HER2 Assets on April 9, 2025, terminating this license agreement. The payment schedule for milestones and corresponding payment amounts were as set forth below.

In addition, we have agreed to pay an annual fee to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. In April 2025, the Company paid a fee of $266,317 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

BlinkBio. In August 2020, we entered into a licensing agreement with BlinkBio, Inc., a privately held developer of drug conjugate therapies designed to facilitate the treatment of cancer. Pursuant to this agreement, BlinkBio granted a license to us that allows us to utilize BlinkBio's proprietary technology to develop, manufacture and commercialize certain of our products. BlinkBio granted us an exclusive license for tunable drug conjugates that are directed towards, binds to or modifies the folate receptor alpha and a co-exclusive license for tunable drug conjugates that are directed towards, binds to or modifies any target other than the folate receptor alpha, such as HER2.

Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to pay to BlinkBio (i) an upfront, non-refundable, non-creditable license fee of $300,000 (the "Up-Front Fee"), (ii) a royalty of 6% of net sales of our products that were made using BlinkBio's proprietary technology, subject to potential reductions on such royalty, and (iii) certain amounts based on the achievement of the milestones described in the payment schedule below.

As of September 30, 2025, we had paid the Up-Front Fee. The payment schedule for milestones and corresponding payment amounts is set forth below.

The aggregate amount of payments relating to milestones 2 through 6 payable thereunder cannot exceed $22,375,000.

In connection with the license agreement, we also agreed to issue the BlinkBio Convertible Note. See "- Convertible Notes" above for more information on the BlinkBio Convertible Note.

George Clinical. In June 2020, we entered into a services agreement, as amended, with George Clinical, Inc., a clinical contract research organization. Pursuant to this agreement, we engaged George Clinical to use its clinical research services for our study entitled "An Open Label, Phase 2 Study of Maintenance Therapy with OST-HER2 after Resection of Recurrent Osteosarcoma." Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to pay to George Clinical certain fees described in the fee schedule below. The total new budget under the agreement is approximately $2,436,928. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we paid $0 and $86,687, respectively, to George Clinical. These payments have been recorded as research and development expenses in our Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fee schedule for certain fees and corresponding payment amounts is set forth below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 to Notes to the Consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

The JOBS Act

The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years; or (iv) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering.
