INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Pulmokine, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Pulmokine, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pulmokine, Inc as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Pulmokine, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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, which raise substantial doubt about Pulmokine, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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.
1
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 Pulmokine, Inc.’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, which raise substantial doubt about Pulmokine, Inc.’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.

Pulmokine, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Operations
Pulmokine, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 13, 2007 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a privately held biopharmaceutical Company developing a novel class of kinase inhibitors for pulmonary related diseases. Currently in clinical development is the Company’s first program which is an inhaled small molecule inhibitor of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with FSG Pulmo, Inc. where the latter would obtain an exclusive license under the Licensed Patents of the Company and an exclusive license under the Licensed Know-How to further research, develop, commercialize, manufacture, sell, impot, export, and otherwise commercially exploit the Licensed Products. The Company, on the other hand, will be receiving payments for milestones achieved by the licensee in specific stages of the development and commercialization of the product.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. The significant estimate affecting the financial statements is the Company’s stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Although the Company has begun to receive revenue from the licensing agreement, the Company has not generated significant revenue since inception.
The Company’s license agreements can include upfront license fees and milestone payments. The Company identifies all of the deliverables at the inception of the agreement. License fees, which are nonrefundable fees will be evaluated for standalone value to the licensor and may be recognized upon delivery pursuant to terms of the agreement. Milestone payments included in the transaction price is limited to amounts for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in future periods. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment of whether the milestone payments are constrained by considering both the likelihood and magnitude of a potential revenue reversal. The Company recognizes revenues from royalties when they become due.
The Company had licensed its Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-Hows to FSG Pulmo, Inc. Under such agreement, in exchange for the exploitation of the Patents and Know-Hows, the Company will receive milestone payments in relation to the development, regulation, and sale of the product. Milestone payments vary based on the activity that was completed by the licensee. Milestone payments range from $2 million up to $75 million. Royalties are paid on the net sales of all licensed products at a rate of 6.5% to 8.5%. In December 2023, the Company recognized $10 million in revenue from completion of a milestone. There were no royalties received in 2023.

Notes to the Financial Statements

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash
The Company periodically monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically, throughout the year, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company has maintained balances in excess of federally insured limits.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in a tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. There were no uncertain tax positions nor income tax related interest and penalties recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023. The income tax returns of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense for option awards based on the grant/issue date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Sholes Model”) and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the vesting period of the stock-based award in determining the fair value of stock-based awards. Although the Company believes the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense are reasonable, these assumptions can involve complex judgments about future events, which are open to interpretation and inherent uncertainty. In addition, significant changes to the assumptions could significantly impact the amount of expense recorded in a given period.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company is a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical data regarding the volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of stock options granted utilizes the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to measure the fair value of its financial statements and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair Value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
| Level 1: |
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 2: |
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 3: |
Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. | |
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lower priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The Company uses this framework for measuring fair value and disclosures about fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are valued utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not discussed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the financial statements.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, as amended (“Topic 842”), which changes accounting for leases and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases, including those classified as operating leases under previous accounting guidance, on the balance sheet and requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The Company adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”). The ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (“CECL”), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
Subsequent Events Evaluation Date
The Company evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to the December 31, 2023 balance sheet date in accordance with FASB ASC 855-10-50, “Subsequent Events”, through October 21, 2024.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Seed Preferred Stock
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the funds and assets of the Company, an amount per share equal to the greater of the original issue price for such share of Seed Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Seed Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If the funds and assets are insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Stock will share ratably in any distribution of the funds and assets of the Company in proportion to the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable.

Each share of Seed Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price for the Seed Preferred Stock by the conversion price for the Seed Preferred Stock in effect at the time of conversion. The conversion price for the Seed Preferred Stock means the original issue price for the Seed Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.
Upon either the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the occurrence of an event specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders, all outstanding shares of Seed Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, at the conversion price disclosed above.

NOTE 4 - DEFERRED TAXES
At December 31, 2023, the Company has available for federal and state income tax purposes a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward of approximately $389,000 for federal and state, which may be used to offset future taxable income. NOL’s are available to offset federal taxable income do not expire and have indefinite carryforwards. The amounts available to offset state taxable income have various carryforward provisions. No federal or state tax benefit has been reported in the accompanying financial statements since the Company believes that the realization of its net deferred tax asset was considered more likely than not based upon the Company’s losses since inception.
The provision for federal and state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, is as follows:

The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying federal statutory rates to income before income taxes due to the difference between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate. The difference relates mostly to permanent differences and the change in valuation allowance.
The Company’s deferred tax assets consisted of the effects of temporary differences attributable to the following:

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Pulmokine
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Pulmokine, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), which comprise the balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the nine months then ended, and the related notes to the interim financial information.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial information referred to above for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Review Results
We conducted our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. A review of interim financial information is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is an expression of an opinion regarding the financial information as a whole, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relative ethical requirements relating to our review. We believe that the results of the review procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Interim Financial Information
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information 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 interim financial information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Pulmokine, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Operations
Pulmokine, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 13, 2007 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a privately held biopharmaceutical Company developing a novel class of kinase inhibitors for pulmonary related diseases. Currently in clinical development is the Company’s first program which is an inhaled small molecule inhibitor of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with FSG Pulmo, Inc. where the latter would obtain an exclusive license under the Licensed Patents of the Company and an exclusive license under the Licensed Know-How to further research, develop, commercialize, manufacture, sell, import, export, and otherwise commercially exploit the Licensed Products. The Company on the other hand, will be receiving payments for milestones achieved by the licensee in specific stages of the development and commercialization of the product.
Merger with XOMA
On August 21, 2024, XOMA Royalty Corporation expressed its intention to enter a merger transaction with the Company. On December 2, 2024, XOMA Royalty acquired all outstanding shares of Pulmokine for a $20 million cash payment at closing.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Revenue Recognition
Although the Company has begun to receive revenue from the licensing agreement, the Company has not generated significant revenue since inception.
The Company’s license agreements can include upfront license fees and milestone payments. The Company identifies all of the deliverables at the inception of the agreement. License fees, which are nonrefundable fees will be evaluated for standalone value to the licensor and may be recognized upon delivery pursuant to terms of the agreement. Milestone payments included in the transaction price is limited to amounts for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in future periods. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment of whether the milestone payments are constrained by considering both the likelihood and magnitude of a potential revenue reversal. The Company recognizes revenues from royalties when they become due.
The Company had licensed its Licensed Patents and Licensed Know-Hows to FSG Pulmo, Inc. Under such agreement, in exchange for the exploitation of the Patents and Know-Hows, the Company will receive milestone payments in relation to the development, regulation, and sale of the product. Milestone payments vary based on the activity that was completed by the licensee. Milestone payments range from $2 million up to $75 million. Royalties are paid on the net sales of all licensed products at a rate of 6.5% to 8.5%. On January 9, 2024, the Company received cash amounting to $10 million for a completion of a milestone. There were no revenues from completion of milestones nor royalties earned for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
See independent auditor’s review report.

Pulmokine, Inc.
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2024
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company periodically monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has maintained the balance of $728,198 in excess of federally insured limits.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in a tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. There were no uncertain tax positions nor income tax related interest and penalties recorded for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2024. The income tax returns of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense for option awards based on the grant/issue date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Sholes Model”) and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the vesting period of the stock-based award in determining the fair value of stock-based awards. Although the Company believes the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense are reasonable, these assumptions can involve complex judgments about future events, which are open to interpretation and inherent uncertainty. In addition, significant changes to the assumptions could significantly impact the amount of expense recorded in a given period.
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company is a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical data regarding the volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of stock options granted utilizes the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to measure the fair value of its financial statements and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair Value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
| Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |||
| Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |||
| Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. | |||
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lower priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The Company uses this framework for measuring fair value and disclosures about fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are valued utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. The significant estimate affecting the financial statements is the Company’s stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events Evaluation Date
The Company evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to the September 30, 2024 balance sheet date in accordance with FASB ASC 855-10-50, “Subsequent Events”, through February 10, 2025.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Seed Preferred Stock
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the funds and assets of the Company, an amount per share equal to the greater of the original issue price for such share of Seed Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Seed Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If the funds and assets are insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Stock will share ratably in any distribution of the funds and assets of the Company in proportion to the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable.

Each share of Seed Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price for the Seed Preferred Stock by the conversion price for the Seed Preferred Stock in effect at the time of conversion. The conversion price for the Seed Preferred Stock means the original issue price for the Seed Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.
Upon either the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the occurrence of an event specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders, all outstanding shares of Seed Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, at the conversion price disclosed above.

NOTE 4 - DEFERRED TAXES
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards available for federal and state income tax purposes. The provision for federal and state income taxes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, is as follows:

The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying federal statutory rates to income before income taxes due to the difference between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate. The Company’s deferred tax liabilities of $446,700 as of September 30, 2024, consisted of the effects of differences in reporting basis.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Description of the Transaction |
On November 26, 2024, XOMA Royalty Corporation (“XOMA” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with XRA 2 Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of XOMA (“Merger Sub”), Pulmokine, Inc. (“Pulmokine”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the stockholder representative, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Pulmokine, with Pulmokine surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of XOMA. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, XOMA acquired Pulmokine for an upfront payment of $20 million, plus potential additional contingent payments. The merger consideration includes customary adjustments for cash, working capital, transaction expenses and indebtedness at closing. The agreement also provides for potential future payments including development milestone payments and regulatory milestone payments for first commercial sales following FDA and EMA approvals, sales milestone payments upon achievement of certain annual net sales thresholds, additional sales-based milestones based on early commercial performance, and sublicense income received under the existing License Agreement. The transaction primarily provides XOMA with rights to future milestone and royalty payments under Pulmokine’s License Agreement with Gossamer Bio related to the development and commercialization of Seralutinib, a clinical-stage product candidate. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Merger, which will be accounted for as an asset acquisition since substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset - the License Agreement rights.
| 2. | Basis of Pro Forma Presentation |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 gives effect to the Transaction as if it had been consummated on September 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 give effect to the Transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2023.
The financial statements included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that reflect the accounting for the Transaction in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company. The accounting policies of Pulmokine have been determined to be similar in all material respects to the Company’s accounting policies. As a result, no adjustments for accounting policy differences have been reflected in the unaudited condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared with the expectation that the Transaction will be treated as an asset acquisition, with the Company treated as the accounting acquirer. To determine the accounting for this transaction under U.S. GAAP, a company must assess whether an integrated set of assets and activities should be accounted for as an acquisition of a business or an asset acquisition. The guidance requires an initial screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. The screen test was not expected to be met. As no substantive processes are being acquired, Pulmokine is not expected to meet the definition of a business. As such, the Transaction is expected to be treated as an asset acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to change and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in future periods. The Company believes its calculation of fair value recognized for the assets acquired is based on reasonable estimates and assumptions. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available. There can be no assurance that the final determination will not result in material changes from these preliminary amounts.
| 3. | Preliminary Purchase Consideration |
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect an estimated purchase consideration of approximately $20.5 million, which consists of the following (in thousands):
| Closing cash payment |
$ | 19,998 | ||
| Holdback amount |
100 | |||
| Transaction costs |
435 | |||
|
|
|
|||
| Total purchase consideration |
$ | 20,533 | ||
|
|
|
A preliminary allocation of the total purchase consideration, as shown above, to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Pulmokine is as follows (in thousands):
| Cash and cash equivalents |
$ | 1,007 | ||
| Intangible assets |
25,302 | |||
| Prepaids and other assets |
1 | |||
| Accounts payable |
(17 | ) | ||
| Deferred tax liability |
(5,760 | ) | ||
|
|
|
|||
| Net assets acquired |
$ | 20,533 | ||
|
|
|
The allocation of the estimated purchase consideration is based on a preliminary estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Transaction.
| 4. | Pro Forma Adjustments |
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 are as follows:
| (A) | Reflects upfront cash payment of $20.0 million. |
| (B) | Represents the estimated fair value of the acquired intangible asset and the related deferred tax liability estimated based on the federal statutory tax rate of 21%. The income tax benefit resulting from the release of the deferred tax liability has not been reflected in the pro forma combined statement of operations as management is still assessing the pattern of recognition. |
| (C) | Represents the adjustment holdback amount of $0.1 million, which has been established to secure potential post-closing purchase price adjustments. |
| (D) | Reflects estimated transaction costs of $70 thousand incurred subsequent to September 30, 2024. |
| (E) | To eliminate Pulmokine’s historical stockholders’ equity balances, including the accumulated deficit. |
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:
| (AA) | Reflects amortization expense related to the $25.3 million intangible asset acquired from Pulmokine, calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 12 years from the acquisition date. The estimated useful life was determined based on the expected patent expiration dates for Seralutunib and related intellectual property acquired through the merger. |
