KIRA PHARMACEUTICALS
INDEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Kira Pharmaceuticals
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kira Pharmaceuticals (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Kira Pharmaceuticals and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit and negative operating cash flows from operations. Thesefactors have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and management’s evaluation of the conditions and plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
F-2
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
| ● | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. |
| ● | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Nature of Business
Kira Pharmaceuticals and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a biotechnology company that was incorporated as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands with limited liability in June 2017. The Company has operations in the United States, People’s Republic of China (“China”) and Australia. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned. The Company’s subsidiaries formed in China are Kira Pharmaceuticals (Hong Kong) Limited (“Kira Hong Kong”), Kira Pharmaceuticals (Suzhou) Limited (“Kira Suzhou”), and Kira Pharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Limited (“Kira Shanghai”). Additionally, the Company’s subsidiaries formed in the United States and Australia are Kira Pharmaceuticals (US) LLC and Kira Pharmaceuticals (Australia) PTY LTD, respectively. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of novel therapeutics to treat complement-mediated diseases.
Share Consolidation
On December 11, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s authorized share capital that included a share consolidation, whereby the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares was increased from $0.0001 per share to $0.01 per share. As a result of the share consolidation, every 100 ordinary shares issued and outstanding were combined into one ordinary share, resulting in a 100 to 1 reverse stock split. The Amended and Restated Articles of Association for the share consolidation became effective on January 6, 2026.
Although the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association reflecting the increase in the Company’s authorized share capital to 1,750,000,000 ordinary shares (17,500,000 ordinary shares on a post-Share Consolidation basis) was not filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands until January 6, 2026, the Company determined that the shareholder approval described above, rather than the ministerial filing that followed, was the operative corporate action. Accordingly, the increased share capital was authorized as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, 4,277,903 ordinary shares were authorized on a post-Share Consolidation basis.
After the completion of the Share Consolidation, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares decreased from 1,705,401,163 to 17,054,011. The par value of the Company’s ordinary shares changed from $0.0001 per share to $0.01 per share after the Share Consolidation. Ordinary shares are referred to herein as common stock.
Share and per share data presented in these consolidated financial statements for all periods presented has been adjusted for the Share Consolidation. In addition, historical common stock and additional paid-in capital balances have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the post-consolidation capital structure and related change in par value for all periods presented. Total stockholders’ deficit was not affected by these adjustments.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-8
Risks, Uncertainties, and Going Concern
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful development of technology, obtaining additional funding, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, risks of failure of preclinical studies, clinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates and the ability to successfully market its therapies for any products that receive approval, fluctuations in operating results, economic pressure impacting therapeutic pricing, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with changes in technologies, development by competitors of technological innovations and the ability to scale manufacturing to large scale production. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from therapy sales.
The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $180.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has operating cash outflows of $1.3 million and had a loss from operations of $2.4 million. Since inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company is subject to risks common to biotechnology companies, including technology development, regulatory approval, clinical outcomes, commercialization, competition, manufacturing scale-up and the need for additional funding. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company completed the merger with Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. ("Jasper"), at which time Jasper completed a private placement financing through the sale of non-voting convertible preferred stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $132.0 million (see Note 12). Jasper has agreed to seek a stockholder vote to convert the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock within 120 days from the closing of the merger. In addition, in the event the Company is unable to obtain stockholder approval of the conversion of the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock within 12 months of the closing of the Merger, holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at the then current fair market value.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Functional Currencies and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of Kira USA, Kira Cayman, and Kira Hong Kong (“H.K.”) is USD, while the functional currency of Kira Suzhou and Kira Shanghai is the Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) and the functional currency of Kira Australia is the Australian dollars (“AUD”). Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are remeasured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
Accordingly, all foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange at the respective balance sheet date. Components of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss have been translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ deficit. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and remeasurement are reported in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
F-9
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market accounts.
The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by maintaining its bank accounts at major and reputable financial institutions. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000 per financial institution in the United States and ¥500,000 per financial institution in China. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement. Operating leases are presented as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in lease liability, current and lease liability, on the Company’s balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments in exchange for the ability to use the asset for the duration of the lease term. The option to extend a lease is included in the lease term only when it is reasonably certain that the Company will elect that option. Additionally, the Company does not record ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of twelve months or less at lease commencement. The Company recognizes the lease expense for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date and determined using the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. For any identified leases not determined to be short-term, The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on an estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing for any leases that do not include an implicit interest rate. Where applicable, the estimated incremental borrowing rate considers market data, actual lease economic environment, and the lease term at commencement date.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently involved in legal actions, nor is management aware of any potential claims or legal actions, for which the ultimate disposition could have a material effect on the Company’s financial positions, results of operations or liquidity.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and bonuses, materials and supplies, preclinical and clinical trial expenses, stock-based compensation expense, employee benefits, consulting costs and external costs of vendors engaged to conduct research and depreciation of equipment.
Costs for research and development activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Payments for such activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as prepaid expense or accrued research and development expense. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received and efforts expended pursuant to agreements established with contract research organizations (“CRO”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMO”), and other outside service providers. These estimates are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, CMO, or outside service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid asset which will be amortized as the contracted services are performed. Determining the prepaid and accrued balances at the end of any reporting period incorporates certain judgments and estimates by management that are based on information available to the Company including information provided by vendors regarding the progress to completion of specific tasks or costs incurred.
Patent costs
All patent-related costs incurred in connection with preparing, filing, maintaining and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty about the recovery of the expenditure. Amounts incurred are classified as general and administrative expenses.
F-10
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that management believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
The Company provides reserves for potential payments of taxes to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions. Amounts recognized are based on a determination of whether a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is “more likely than not” to be sustained under audit. The amount recognized is equal to the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be sustained. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. The Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, based upon the available inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| ● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. |
The carrying amounts of certain financial assets and liabilities, including prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity and liquidity of those instruments. The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. See Note 11 for fair value disclosures related to the Company’s convertible promissory note - related party.
Convertible Promissory Note - Related Party
The Company evaluated its convertible promissory notes and determined that they contain embedded features that may require separate accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, the Company elected the fair value option (“FVO”) under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for its convertible promissory notes upon issuance. Under the FVO, the notes are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. Interest expense is recorded within interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in fair value, other than amounts attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, are recognized in earnings within other income (expense), net. Changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). For the periods presented, the Company determined that changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were not significant. The election of the FVO is irrevocable and is applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. As a result of the FVO election, embedded features within the convertible promissory notes are not separately accounted for. Debt issuance costs associated with convertible promissory notes accounted for under the FVO are expensed as incurred.
F-11
The Company estimates the fair value of the related-party convertible promissory note using a probability-weighted expected return method that considers the potential settlement outcomes under the contractual terms of the note. Significant unobservable inputs include the probability of each settlement scenario, expected timing of settlement, market-based discount rates, estimated equity values underlying potential conversion outcomes, and recovery assumptions in the event of default. The fair value measurement is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
Contingently Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock is classified outside of stockholders’ deficit because the holders of such shares have liquidation rights in the event of a deemed liquidation that, in certain situations, are not solely within the control of the Company. The carrying values of the Company’s preferred stock are being accreted to their respective redemption values at the end of each reporting period as if the end of the reporting period were the redemption date. Increases to the carrying values of redeemable convertible preferred stock are charged to additional paid-in capital or, in the absence of additional paid-in capital, charged to accumulated deficit.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures employee and nonemployee stock-based awards at their grant-date fair value and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Estimating the fair value of stock-based awards requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock for stock options and other equity awards. In addition, for stock options, the Company estimates the expected term of the awards, expected stock price volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities commensurate with the expected term of the award at the grant date. The expected dividend yield is zero because the Company has never declared or paid dividends and does not currently expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term of stock options is determined using the simplified method, which utilizes the midpoint between the vesting date and the contractual term of the award. Because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data and its common stock is not publicly traded, expected volatility is estimated based on the historical volatilities of a group of comparable publicly traded companies over a period corresponding to the expected term of the awards.
Because the Company’s common stock was not publicly traded during the periods presented, the board of directors periodically estimated the fair value of the Company’s common stock. In determining the fair value of common stock, the board considered, among other factors, contemporaneous third-party valuations, the rights and preferences of the Company’s preferred stock, the Company’s operating and financial performance, market conditions, comparable company data and the probability and timing of potential liquidity events. The Company utilized valuation methodologies consistent with the guidance set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.
Contingencies
The Company accounts for contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. This guidance requires the Company to assess potential contingent liabilities that may exist as of the date of the financial statements to determine the probability and amount of loss that may have occurred. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. For contingencies considered remote, no accrual or disclosures are generally made.
F-12
During 2025, the Company entered into agreements with vendors to settle outstanding payables. Pursuant to the agreements with certain vendors, the Company was required to make payments upon a qualified transaction, as defined within the agreements. The amount of contingent liabilities was fixed within the vendors’ agreements as a percentage of the total outstanding balance that was settled. As of December 31, 2025, the total amount of contingent liabilities was $48.3 thousand. The Company determined that it was not probable that the qualified transaction would occur, therefore the liabilities were not recognized as of December 31, 2025.
Gain on accounts payable settlement
The Company may enter into agreements with vendors to settle outstanding payables for amounts less than the recorded liability. When such arrangements result in the Company being legally released from its obligation and the liability is settled, the Company derecognizes the amount of the accounts payable that is settled and records a corresponding gain in earnings in accordance with ASC 405, Liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company recorded $2.0 million and $0 of gains from settlement of such payables, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $1.3 million of gains from the settlement such payables.

5. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Prior to their conversion in 2025, the Company had issued and outstanding Series A, Series B and Series B+ redeemable convertible preferred stock. The Series A Preferred Stock was issued in 2017 and 2018 for aggregate gross proceeds of $18.0 million, the Series B Preferred Stock was issued in 2020 for aggregate gross proceeds of $28.0 million and the Series B+ Preferred Stock was issued in 2021 for aggregate gross proceeds of $60.0 million.
The carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock consisted of the following (in thousands):
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Series A Preferred Stock | $ | 28,800 | ||
| Series B Preferred Stock | 44,381 | |||
| Series B+ Preferred Stock | 88,337 | |||
| Total | $ | 161,518 | ||
Dividends
The holders of the Preferred Stock were entitled to be paid non-cumulative dividends if and when declared by the Company’s board of directors. The Company could not have paid any dividends on shares of common stock of the Company unless the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding simultaneously received dividends at the same time as dividends paid with respect to any class common stock. Dividends were equal to 8.0% of the price per share per annum, payable only when and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. Through the date of conversion, no cash dividends were declared or paid by the Company.
Conversion
The holders of Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert, at the option of the holder, at any time, into shares of common stock by dividing the preferred stock original issuance price by the conversion price in effect at the time. The initial Series A Preferred Stock conversion price is $100, the initial Series B Preferred Stock conversion price is $148 and the initial Series B+ Preferred Stock conversion price is $170, subject in each case to certain adjustments to reflect the issuance of common stock, options, warrants, or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect. In addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series B+ Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock at the applicable conversion ratio in effect upon the earlier of (a) the closing of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation) or (b) the written consent of the Series A Investors holding a majority of the total outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares, the written consent of the Series B Investors holding a majority of the total outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, with respect to the Series B Preferred Shares, or the written consent of the Series B+ Investors holding a majority of the total outstanding Series B+ Preferred Shares, with respect to the Series B+ Preferred Shares.
Redemption
The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the shareholder. The shares are redeemable at any time and from time to time on or after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial closing or upon any other series of Preferred stock becoming redeemable.
F-14
The Series B Preferred Stock and Series B+ Preferred Stock is redeemable upon certain events that are outside of the Company’s control, which include material violation of laws and contracts by any key holders in each case would result in a material adverse effect, failure to conduct the principal business, any fraudulent misconduct by any warrantors, request by any holders of any other series of Preferred Shares for redemption by the Company of any Preferred Shares held by such holder of Preferred Shares, termination of the sponsored research agreement, none of the product developed by the Company has entered into phase II of any clinical trial by a specified date, and the Company has not completed a Qualified Public Offering or a Trade Sale by a specified date.
The Company’s Series A preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at any time after the Optional Redemption Date, and the Series B and B+ preferred stock are redeemable upon the occurrence of events not solely within the Company’s control, including a redemption request by holders of another series. Accordingly, the Preferred Stock is classified outside of stockholders’ deficit and is carried at its redemption amount, equal to the original issue price plus 12% simple interest per annum, at each balance sheet date. Increases in the carrying amount are charged to additional paid-in capital or, in its absence, to accumulated deficit. While all Preferred Stock is automatically converted upon a Qualified Public Offering, the effectiveness of a Qualified Offering is not within the control of the Company and is not deemed probable to occur for accounting purposes until the effective date of the Qualified Offering. As such, the Company continued to recognize accretion of the Preferred Stock during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The accretion of the Preferred Stock was $7.1 million and $10.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Conversion of Series A, B, and B+ Preferred Stock
The majority holders of each respective series of the Preferred Stock provided written consent to convert into shares of common stock at the applicable conversion ratio. On August 31, 2025, all of the Company’s issued and outstanding convertible preferred shares were converted into common stock on a one-for-one basis in accordance with their contractual terms. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock, including any accretion, was reclassified from mezzanine equity to common stock and additional paid-in capital. The conversion was accounted for as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss was recognized.
The table below presents the reconciliation of changes in the Preferred Stock (in thousands):
| Balance at December 31, 2023 | $ | 150,887 | ||

6. Stock-Based Compensation
On June 9, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 147,220 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors in the form of non-qualified and incentive stock options, unvested stock awards, and other stock-based awards. At December 31, 2025, there were 3,409 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Plan
The following table summarizes the stock option activity under the 2017 Plan:
| Stock Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Life (in Years) | Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |||||||||||||
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | 83,441 | $ | 27.10 | 6.32 | - | |||||||||||

The weighted-average grant date calculated fair value of stock options granted for the years ended on December 31, 2025 was determined to be nominal. There was $38 thousand of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options as of December 31, 2025, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The total fair value of options vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted 60,370 and 0 options, respectively. There were no options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.8 million of Australian federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards available to use that have an indefinite lived carryforward.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets in its Australia, Hong Kong, and Shanghai operations will not be realized, and therefore continues to maintain a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in these jurisdictions. The change in valuation allowances for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $0.1 million, respectively.
Income taxes on undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries have not been provided for because the Company currently plans to indefinitely reinvest all undistributed foreign earnings and has the ability to do so. At this time, determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the investments in the Company’s subsidiaries is not practicable.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modification to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other implemented through 2027. The bill does not materially impact the Company’s 2025 income tax provision.
The Company files tax returns in China, Australia, Hong Kong, and the US. With a few exceptions, the Company is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $10.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively, which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s tax provision and effective tax rate. The Company does not believe there would be any material changes to its uncertain tax position liabilities within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of its income tax provision. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the liability for interest and penalties was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized tax (benefit) expense of $0.1 million for interest and penalties.

9. Promissory note payable - related party
On November 24, 2025, the Company entered into a secured senior promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) with Mach5 Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mach 5”), a related party, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $200 thousand. The Promissory Note bears interest at 5% per annum and was originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 2025. The Promissory Note is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and is senior to all other indebtedness of the Company.
On December 31, 2025, the Company and Mach5 Therapeutics, Inc. amended and restated the Promissory Note to increase the outstanding principal balance by $400 thousand, resulting in total borrowings of $600 thousand. The amended Promissory Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures on January 15, 2026. Under the terms of the note, if the contemplated acquisition of Mach5 Therapeutics, Inc. by the Company or one of its affiliates is consummated, the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest, and other amounts due under the Promissory Note will be deemed paid in full at the closing of the acquisition.
As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Note was $600 thousand. Because the Promissory Note matures within one year of the balance sheet date, the entire balance was classified as a current liability. Interest expense recognized related to the Promissory Note was approximately $1 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, and accrued interest payable was approximately $1 thousand as of December 31, 2025.
10. Retirement Plan
The Company initiated a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the IRC (the “Plan”) covering all qualified employees effective in 2020. Employee contributions are voluntary and are determined on an individual basis subject to the maximum allowable under federal tax regulations. The Company expensed $8 thousand and $45 thousand of made matching contributions to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
11. Related Parties
Convertible Promissory Note
On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Kira KMF Team LLC, a related party, pursuant to which the lender agreed to provide borrowings of up to $0.3 million. The Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The Note also contains a contingent interest provision whereby the aggregate interest payable on the Note increases from the stated annual interest rate of 5% to an amount equal to 15% of the then-outstanding principal balance upon the occurrence of a transaction as defined within the Note.
The Note contains several settlement provisions, including (i) automatic repayment immediately prior to the occurrence of a transaction (as defined within the Note), (ii) an automatic conversion feature pursuant to which the principal balance and accrued interest convert into ordinary shares representing 95% of the Company’s fully diluted equity if the transaction is not completed by August 31, 2025 and the Note is not otherwise repaid, and (iii) customary acceleration provisions upon an event of default.
The Company evaluated the embedded features within the Note pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The redemption feature upon the occurrence of a transaction (as defined within the Note), automatic conversion feature in the event the transaction is not completed by August 31, 2025, and additional contingent interest feature upon the occurrence of the transaction were determined to be not clearly and closely related to the Note and were determined to require bifurcation as embedded features. Due to these embedded features within the Note, the Company elected to account for the Note and all their embedded features at fair value at inception. As a result of electing the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the Note were expensed as incurred.
As of the issuance date of July 1, 2025, the fair value of the Note was $3.7 million, which exceeded the proceeds of $0.3 million, the Company recorded a loss of $3.4 million for the excess fair value over the proceeds in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The fair value of the Note was determined using the probability-weighted expected return method. At issuance, the valuation incorporated significant unobservable inputs, including a 9.7% probability of completion of the transaction, an 87.3% probability of conversion, a 3.0% probability of default, and a discount rate of 16.9%. The estimated equity value of the Company was $4.4 million as of July 1, 2025 and August 31, 2025.
F-20
On August 31, 2025, the transaction was not consummated and conversion of the Note became certain and the Company remeasured the Note using a 100% probability of conversion. The outstanding principal balance together with accrued interest was converted into a total of 16,229,226 ordinary shares, representing 95% of the Company’s fully diluted equity, giving control of the Company to Kira KMF Team LLC. The resulting increase in fair value was recognized in earnings as a change in fair value of the convertible note. Management concluded that the conversion did not result in a substantive change in control because the transaction occurred among related parties. Based on the board resolution as of July 1, 2025, the Company’s authorized shares were increased to 17,500,000. Accordingly, the Company recognized all 16,229,226 ordinary shares as issued. Therefore, upon conversion, the carrying value of the Note and related accrued interest were reclassified to stockholders’ equity. As of August 31, 2025, the fair value of the Note was determined to be $4.2 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional loss of $0.5 million for the change in fair value of the Note from July 1, 2025 to August 31, 2025 in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The following table presents activity related to the Note as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025:
| Balance, beginning of year | $ | - | ||
| Convertible promissory note – related party issuances | 3,698 | |||
| Change in fair value of convertible promissory note - related party | 506 | |||
| Conversion to common stock | (4,204 | ) | ||
| Balance, end of year | $ | - |
Interest expense on the convertible promissory note – related party totaled $2.1 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025. Interest expense is recorded within interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Management and Founder Incentive Agreement
In December 2024, the Company entered into a Management and Founder Incentive Agreement with Kira KMF Company LLC (“KMF”), an entity owned and controlled by certain members of the Company’s management and founders. Pursuant to the agreement, KMF agreed to provide funding of $25,000 per month from January 2025 through June 2025 to support certain employee related costs and facilitate the continued provision of services by members of management while the Company pursued strategic business development opportunities. In exchange, KMF may be entitled to receive contingent fees based on proceeds received from certain qualifying transactions, including asset sales, licensing transactions, business combinations, or similar strategic transactions.
On July 1, 2025, the agreement was mutually terminated as KMF did not provide the funding payment for the full term as a qualifying transaction was not likely to occur and no liabilities or obligations were owed by either party.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company obtained funding proceeds of approximately $108 thousand from KMF, which were recorded within additional paid in capital. As of the termination date of July 1, 2025, no amounts were due to or from KMF. No qualifying transactions had occurred as of the termination date, and accordingly, no contingent fees had been earned or paid under the agreement.
Consulting Fees
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued $92 thousand and $300 thousand for consulting services performed by members of the Company’s Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board, respectively. These amounts are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as accrued general and administrative expenses and accrued research and development expenses, respectively.
12. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through October 1, 2026, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.
Mach 5 Promissory Note
On January 20, 2026, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Secured Senior Promissory Note with Mach5 pursuant to which the Company borrowed an additional $675 thousand resulting in a total outstanding balance of $1.275 million. The Promissory Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matured on January 30, 2026, unless earlier satisfied in accordance with its terms. The Promissory Note is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and is senior in right of payment to all other indebtedness of the Company. Concurrently with the closing of the asset acquisition, the preexisting loan was effectively settled. Consistent with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modification and Extinguishments, the Company evaluated the difference between the fair value of note and the net carrying amount of the settled note to determine if an extinguishment gain or loss should be recorded. The fair value of the note was determined as of March 17, 2026, the date of the Acquisition and the date on which the note became due and payable in full under its terms. As the valuation and settlement dates are the same, no discount for time value or credit risk applied. The fair value of the note was $1.288 million comprised of outstanding principal and accrued interest, which was equal to the net carrying amount of the extinguished note, so no gain or loss was recorded. The settlement of the preexisting note was presented separately from the total costs to acquire the assets.
F-21
Mach 5 Acquisition
In March 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Mach5 in exchange for equity consideration consisting of 10,676,470 ordinary shares. The transaction is being accounted for as an asset acquisition, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset group consisting of in-process research and development (IPR&D).
Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into a Preferred Shares Investment Agreement with certain purchasers and Kira KMF Team LLC. Under the Preferred Shares Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell a total of 3,661,504 preferred shares to the purchasers at a purchase price of $2.18 per share, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million.
Prepaid Employee Compensation
In March 2026, the Company entered into forgivable loan arrangements with certain members of management totaling $539,000. The arrangements were established as retention incentives and provide for forgiveness of the outstanding balances upon continued employment through January 15, 2027. The Company has concluded that the arrangements are compensatory in nature and will recognize the related compensation cost over the employees’ requisite service period. No loan balances had been forgiven as of the date these financial statements were available to be issued.
Subsequent Share Activity
In May 2026, the Company settled outstanding obligations to members of its Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board related to services rendered through March 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued $92 thousand and $300 thousand for services performed through December 31, 2025, which are within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as accrued general and administrative expenses and accrued research and development expenses, respectively. The aggregate amounts due to members of its Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board of $108 thousand and $350 thousand, respectively, were settled through the issuance of 49,583 and 160,191 ordinary shares, together with cash payments of $1 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively.
Simple Agreements for Future Equity
On June 24, 2026, the Company entered into Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) with investors and received aggregate gross proceeds of $5.1 million. Under the terms of the SAFEs, the investment amount is convertible into equity securities upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including a PIPE financing, equity financing, merger, acquisition, other business combination transactions, or as otherwise provided in the agreements.
Mirador License Agreement
On July 13, 2026, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Mirador Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to which the Company granted Mirador an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize products containing the Company’s proprietary anti-C5a antibody (KP301) and anti-C5aR small molecule compound (KP402). Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a (i) $12.0 million upfront payment and (ii) $8.0 million upon delivery of drug substance and compound to Mirador, and may receive up to $458.5 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on future net sales of licensed products.
Jasper Agreement and Plan of Merger and Private Placement and Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 16, 2026, the Company was acquired by Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to a merger transaction in which the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Jasper. In connection with the merger, the Company’s equity holders received 5,195,009 shares of Jasper common stock and 4,644,977 shares of Jasper non-voting convertible preferred stock, each convertible into 61 shares of common stock, subject to certain conditions. Concurrently with the merger, Jasper completed a private placement financing through the sale of approximately 4.7 million shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock for gross proceeds of approximately $132 million. Jasper has agreed to seek a stockholder vote to convert the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock within 120 days from the closing of the merger. In addition, in the event the Company is unable to obtain stockholder approval of the conversion of the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock within 12 months of the closing of the Merger, holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at the then current fair market value. Jasper Therapeutics, Inc will be determined to be the accounting acquirer and this acquisition will be accounted for in subsequent periods as an asset acquisition.

Former Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding redeemable preferred stock that was classified within mezzanine equity. On August 31, 2025, all outstanding redeemable preferred shares were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms of the governing agreements. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the redeemable preferred stock, including any related accretion recognized through the conversion date, was reclassified from mezzanine equity to stockholders’ equity. As a result of the conversion, no redeemable preferred stock was outstanding as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025, and therefore no redeemable preferred stock balance is presented in the accompanying balance sheets. Historical activity related to the redeemable preferred stock is reflected in the statement of changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit for the comparative period presented.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Risks and Uncertainties, and Going Concern
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful development of technology, obtaining additional funding, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, risks of failure of preclinical studies, clinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates and the ability to successfully market its therapies for any products that receive approval, fluctuations in operating results, economic pressure impacting therapeutic pricing, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with changes in technologies, development by competitors of technological innovations and the ability to scale manufacturing to large scale production. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from therapy sales.
F-6
The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $184.2 million as of June 30, 2026 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company has operating cash outflows of $3.5 million and had a loss from operations of $2.6 million. Since inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company is subject to risks common to biotechnology companies, including technology development, regulatory approval, clinical outcomes, commercialization, competition, manufacturing scale-up and the need for additional funding. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company completed the merger with Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (“Jasper”), at which time Jasper completed a private placement financing through the sale of non-voting convertible preferred stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $132.0 million (see Note 12). Jasper has agreed to seek a stockholder vote to convert the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock within 120 days from the closing of the merger. In addition, in the event the Company is unable to obtain stockholder approval of the conversion of the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock within 12 months of the closing of the Merger, holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at the then current fair market value.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Except for the accounting policy updates discussed below, the Company’s significant accounting policies have not materially changed from those disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs, which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.
Acquisitions meeting the definition of business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. In a business combination, any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The Company measures and recognizes asset acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations based on the cost to acquire the assets, which includes direct transaction costs. Goodwill is not recognized in asset acquisitions. When a transaction accounted for as an asset acquisition includes an in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) asset, the IPR&D asset is only capitalized if it has an alternative future use other than in a particular research and development project. Otherwise, the cost allocated to acquire an IPR&D asset with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.
Simple Agreements for Future Equity
The Company has issued Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”), which are freestanding financial instruments that may convert into equity securities upon the occurrence of specified future financing events in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The SAFEs also contain provisions that may require settlement based on the occurrence of certain liquidity or dissolution events.
F-7
The Company evaluates the SAFEs in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company concluded that the SAFEs represent freestanding financial instruments that embody a conditional obligation that may be settled in a variable number of shares with a monetary value based on a fixed amount. Accordingly, the SAFEs are classified as liabilities and presented as SAFE liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
SAFE liabilities are initially measured at fair value upon issuance and subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Upon conversion or settlement, the carrying amount of the SAFE liabilities is reclassified to stockholders’ equity or settled in cash, as applicable.
Contingencies
The Company accounts for contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. This guidance requires the Company to assess potential contingent liabilities that may exist as of the date of the financial statements to determine the probability and amount of loss that may have occurred. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. For contingencies considered remote, no accrual or disclosures are generally made.
During 2025, the Company entered into agreements with vendors to settle outstanding payables. Pursuant to the agreements with certain vendors, the Company was required to make payments upon a qualified transaction, as defined within the agreements. The amount of contingent liabilities was fixed within the vendors’ agreements as a percentage of the total outstanding balance that was settled. As of June 30, 2026, the Company determined that it was probable that the qualified transaction would occur and therefore the Company recognized contingent liabilities for these certain agreements in the amount of $48.3 thousand. which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Gain on accounts payable settlement
The Company may enter into agreements with vendors to settle outstanding payables for amounts less than the recorded liability. When such arrangements result in the Company being legally released from its obligation and the liability is settled, the Company derecognizes the amount of the accounts payable that is settled and records a corresponding gain in earnings in accordance with ASC 405, Liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $1.3 million of gains from the settlement such payables.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories, such as salaries and wages, depreciation, and amortization, to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, clarifying the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to be fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which clarifies how to determine the accounting acquirer in transactions involving variable interest entities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-03 on its financial statements and disclosures.

5. Simple Agreements for Future Equity
On June 24, 2026, the Company entered into Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) with investors. Under the terms of the SAFEs, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $5.1 million. The SAFEs remain outstanding until the occurrence of certain triggering events, including (i) Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) conversion, (ii) an equity financing, (iii) a liquidity event such as a merger, acquisition, or other business combination, or (iv) a dissolution event. Upon a PIPE conversion, the SAFEs will automatically convert into the same class of securities issued in a PIPE at a discounted share price of 70%. Upon an equity financing, the SAFEs will automatically convert into preferred shares at the greater of (a) the lowest price per share issued in the equity financing or (b) a price per share based on a valuation cap. In a liquidity event, the investor of the SAFE receives either a portion of proceeds or shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the greater of the purchase amount or the amount payable on the number of shares of common stock equal to the purchase amount divided by the liquidity price. In the event of a dissolution event, the investor of the SAFE will be entitled to receive cash equal to the purchase amount.
The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands):
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
| SAFE liabilities | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 7,214 | $ | 7,214 | ||||||||
| Total financial liabilities | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 7,214 | $ | 7,214 | ||||||||
The cash equivalents are comprised of funds held in an exchange traded money market fund and the fair value of the cash equivalents is determined based upon quoted market price for that fund. There were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 categories in the periods presented.
F-9
The Company measures its SAFE liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The fair value of the SAFE liability is classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy because the valuation incorporates significant unobservable inputs and management judgment regarding the probability and timing of future conversion and liquidity events. The fair value of the SAFE liability is reassessed at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company concluded that the fair value of the SAFE liabilities approximated the value of the shares issued to the SAFE investors as part of the merger with Jasper Therapeutics discussed in Note 12, which was determined to be $7.2 million. As such, the Company recognized a loss upon issuance of the SAFEs in the amount of $2.2 million.
The Company determined that no material change in fair value had occurred between the issuance date of June 24, 2026 and June 30, 2026 due to the short period between issuance and the reporting date and the absence of any triggering conversion or settlement event during that period.
The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities:
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $ | - | ||
| Issuance of SAFEs | 7,214 | |||
| Change in fair value during the period | - | |||
| Balance as of June 30, 2026 | $ | 7,214 |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, prepaid and other current assets, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. None of the Company’s non-financial assets or liabilities are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There are uncertainties on the fair value measurement of the instrument classified under Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs and interrelationships between these unobservable inputs, which could result in higher or lower fair value measurements.
6. Preferred Stock
In March 2026, the Company entered into a Preferred Shares Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with certain purchasers, relating to the issuance and sale by the Company of up to 6,865,323 preferred shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $2.184892 per share, for aggregate proceeds of up to $15.0 million.
The Company completed the initial closing under the Investment Agreement, issuing and selling 3,661,504 Preferred Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million.
In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $42 thousand, comprised primarily of legal fees, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
The Company evaluated the Preferred Shares under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the Preferred Shares are not required to be classified as a liability and that no embedded features require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivative instruments. The Preferred Shares are not redeemable at a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holders, or upon the occurrence of an event outside the Company’s control, and accordingly are classified within permanent equity.
The holders of the Preferred Stock have the following rights and preferences:
Voting
Each Preferred Share entitles the holder to receive notice of, attend, and vote at any general meeting of the Company. However, holders of Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote at any meeting of Members (as defined in the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands). Additionally, approval from holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class, is required for certain matters, including actions that adversely affect the Preferred Shares, to issue senior or pari passu shares, to liquidate or wind up the Company, to complete a merger or sale of substantially all assets, or to change the authorized number of Preferred Shares.
F-10
Redemption
The Preferred Shares are perpetual instruments with no stated maturity date. The holders have no right to require the Company to redeem or repurchase the Preferred Shares, and the Preferred Shares contain no mandatory redemption provision.
Dividends
The holders of Preferred Shares participate pro rata with the Ordinary Shares in any dividends or distributions, if and when declared by the Board. No dividends were declared or paid on the Preferred Shares during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Liquidation
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary), holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, in priority to holders of Ordinary Shares, the Liquidation Preference, equal to the original issue price paid for each Preferred Share plus any declared but unpaid dividends.
7. Stock Based Compensation
On June 9, 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 3,458,090 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors in the form of non-qualified and incentive stock options, unvested stock awards, and other stock-based awards. At June 30, 2026, there were 1,131,009 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Plan.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity under the 2017 Plan:
| Stock Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Remaining Life (in Years) | ||||||||||
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | 143,811 | $ | 29.58 | 6.95 | ||||||||

| Stock options exercisable as of June 30, 2026 | 619,021 | $ | 4.95 | 9.35 | ||||||||
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.08 per option and was nominal during the six months ended June 30, 2025. There was $139 thousand of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options as of June 30, 2026, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company granted 2,225,281 and 60,370 options, respectively. There were no options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

| Expected term (in years) | 5.4 - 6.0 | |||
| Expected dividend yield | 0.0 | % | ||
| Expected volatility of underlying common stock | 88.9% - 91.0 | % |
8. Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimate annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The provision for income taxes primarily consists of U.S. federal, Massachusetts, and Suzhou and several other foreign countries.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $87 thousand resulting in an effective tax rate of (2.65)%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $66 thousand. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was (6.01)%.
The change in the effective tax rate from (6.01)% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to (2.65)% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily relates to the Increase in uncertain tax position activity related to the Suzhou entity and higher overall pre-tax losses, compared to 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires incremental annual disclosures on income taxes, including rate reconciliations, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. The Company early adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis. The ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modification to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other implemented through 2027. The new legislation has not had a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
9. Leases
Operating leases
The Company leases offices under various non-cancelable leases that expire at various dates. Under certain leases, the Company is responsible for expenses related to operations, maintenance, repairs, and management fees that are accounted for as operating leases.
Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 totaled $16 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively.
The Company’s operating leases for its equipment and specialized spaces for company equipment have terms expiring at various dates through April 2027. Certain lease arrangements include renewal options and rights of first refusal for the lessee to purchase the applicable property.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||

10. Debt and Asset Acquisition - Mach5 Therapeutics, Inc.
Debt
In November and December 2025, the Company entered into a secured senior promissory note with Mach5 Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mach5”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed an aggregate of $600 thousand. The note bears interest at 5% per annum and was scheduled to mature on January 15, 2026. The note was amended on January 20, 2026 to increase the outstanding principal balance by $675 thousand, resulting in total borrowings by the Company of $1.275 million, and to extend the contractual maturity date to January 30, 2026. Under the terms of the note, if the contemplated acquisition of Mach5 by the Company or one of its affiliates was consummated, the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest, and other amounts due under the note would be considered paid in full at the closing of the acquisition. Concurrently with the closing of the asset acquisition, the preexisting loan was effectively settled. Consistent with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modification and Extinguishments, the Company evaluated the difference between the fair value of note and the net carrying amount of the settled note to determine if an extinguishment gain or loss should be recorded. The fair value of the note was determined as of March 17, 2026, the date of the Acquisition and the date on which the note became due and payable in full under its terms. As the valuation and settlement dates are the same, no discount for time value or credit risk applied. The fair value of the note was $1.288 million comprised of outstanding principal and accrued interest, which was equal to the net carrying amount of the extinguished note, so no gain or loss was recorded. The settlement of the preexisting note was presented separately from the total costs to acquire the assets.
Asset Acquisition
On March 17, 2026, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Mach5 in exchange for 10,676,470 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the common shares issued represented total consideration transferred of $961 thousand. Under ASC 805, the Company determined that it was the accounting acquirer. The Company evaluated the transaction under ASC 805 and determined substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired were concentrated in a single asset, the in-process research and development related to Mach5’s only drug candidate. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
The purchase price, including transaction costs of $243 thousand, were allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values as a percentage of the total fair value of the assets acquired, with no goodwill recognized. Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was attributable to acquired IPR&D. The Company determined that the acquired IPR&D had no alternative future use and therefore expensed $139 thousand as a component of in-process research and development expense during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
F-13
The total fair value of consideration transferred was as follows (in thousands):
| Consideration transferred | $ | 961 | ||
| Transaction costs incurred | 243 | |||
| $ | 1,204 |
The total fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and settlement of pre-existing note payable was as follows (in thousands):

11. Related Parties
Management and Founder Incentive Agreement
In December 2024, the Company entered into a Management and Founder Incentive Agreement with Kira KMF Company LLC (“KMF”), an entity owned and controlled by certain members of the Company’s management and founders. Pursuant to the agreement, KMF agreed to provide funding of $25,000 per month from January 2025 through June 2025 to support certain employee related costs and facilitate the continued provision of services by members of management while the Company pursued strategic business development opportunities. In exchange, KMF may be entitled to receive contingent fees based on proceeds received from certain qualifying transactions, including asset sales, licensing transactions, business combinations, or similar strategic transactions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company obtained funding proceeds of approximately $108 thousand from KMF, which were recorded within additional paid in capital. On July 1, 2025, the agreement was mutually terminated as KMF did not provide the funding payment for the full term as a qualifying transaction was not likely to occur and no liabilities or obligations were owed by either party. At the time the agreement was terminated, no contingent fees had been earned or paid.
Share Activity
In March 2026, certain existing shareholders of the Company surrendered to the Company, for no consideration, a total of 269,171 ordinary shares. These shares were surrendered by the holders for no consideration and were immediately cancelled upon surrender to the Company.

Introduction
On July 16, 2026, Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Jasper”) acquired Kira Pharmaceuticals (“Kira”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Kira Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Kira. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kira merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), the Company issued to the shareholders of Kira an aggregate of (i) 5,195,009 shares (the “Merger Shares”) of voting common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) 4,644,977 shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), each share of which is convertible into 61 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions. Additionally, each option to purchase Kira ordinary shares was assumed by the Company and was converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 392,791 shares of Common Stock and an aggregate of 351,201 shares of Preferred Stock. Additionally, a total of 254,462 shares of Preferred Stock were issued to the holders of Company SAFEs (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 4,655,951 shares of Preferred Stock (the “PIPE Securities”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $132.0 million (the “Financing”). The Financing closed on July 20, 2026.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Company will hold a shareholders’ meeting to submit the following matters to its shareholders for their consideration: (i) the approval, in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, of the conversion of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and to be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Proposal”), (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Patrick Crutcher to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and (iii) the approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by an amount sufficient to permit the conversion of all Preferred Stock and PIPE Securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, respectively, into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company is required to file a resale registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the PIPE Securities within 90 calendar days.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), pursuant to which each holder of Common Stock of record immediately prior to the Closing is entitled to one (1) contractual contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) for each share of Common Stock held.

The Mirador License Agreement was entered into in contemplation of the Merger and the Financing, and Mirador participated as an investor in the Financing.
