2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with controlling interest. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's reporting currency is the US dollar.

Noncontrolling interest

The Company consolidates the results of Napo Therapeutics, which was owned 89% and 88% by the Company and 11% and 12% by private investors as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The potential voting rights with a certainty of being exercised in its shares are included in the ownership percentage.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The accounting policies that reflect the Company’s more significant estimates and judgments and that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are the valuation of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), freestanding and hybrid instruments designated at fair value option (“FVO”), warrant liabilities, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and useful lives assigned to long-lived assets; impairment assessment of non-financial assets; valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory; allowance for doubtful accounts; deferred taxes and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; evaluation and measurement of contingencies; and recognition of revenue, including estimates for product returns. Those estimates could change, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash

The Company’s cash on deposit may exceed United States federally insured limits at certain times during the year. The Company maintains cash accounts with certain major financial institutions in the United States. The Company does not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable is recorded net of allowances for discounts for prompt payment and credit losses.

Upon adoption of ASU No. 2013-13 (“ASC 326”), the Company began utilizing a loss rate approach under the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model to determine its lifetime expected credit losses on receivables from customers. This method calculates an estimate of credit losses based on historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and current and forecasted economic and business conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In determining the loss rates, the Company evaluates information related to its historical losses, adjusted for existing conditions and further adjusted for the period of time that can reasonably be forecasted. The facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet date are used to adjust the estimate for periods beyond those that can reasonably be forecasted.

The past due status of accounts receivable is determined based on the contractual due dates for payments. Receivable is deemed past due when payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on credit losses that are expected to arise over the contractual term of the asset, which includes consideration of historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision of (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Assets are written off when the Company determines that such are deemed uncollectible. Write-offs are recognized as a deduction from the allowance for credit losses. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate of the amount previously written off, are included in determining the necessary allowance at the balance sheet date.

Concentrations

Cash is the financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk as cash is deposited with a bank and cash balances generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of the Company’s revenue was derived from the sale of Mytesi. In looking at sales by the Company to specialty pharmacies whose net revenue percentage of total net revenue was equal to or greater than 10%, for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, the Company earned Mytesi revenue primarily from two specialty pharmacies located in the US. Revenue earned from each major customer as a percentage of total revenue is as follows:

Other Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s future operations results involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations including, but not limited to, war, rapid technological change, obtaining second source suppliers and manufacturers, regulatory approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory authorities, the results of clinical trials and the achievement of milestones, market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, competition from other products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

Other Global Events

Macroeconomic conditions worldwide are subject to constant change, influenced by several factors, including persistently high inflation, structural weaknesses in the labor market, low productivity growth, adverse weather conditions, and possible political unrest in certain regions. Despite these global economic challenges, no significant changes have occurred in the Company's operations.

Fair Value

The Company’s financial instruments include accounts receivable, net, other receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, operating lease liability, and debt. The recorded carrying amount of accounts receivable, other receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities reflect their fair value due to their short-term nature. Other financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, and subsequently measured at fair value or amortized cost using the effective interest method. See Note 3 for the fair value measurements.

Fair Value Option

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), provides an FVO election that allows companies an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825-10 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the FVO has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 825-10 are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method. In accordance with the options presented in ASC 825-10, the Company elected to present the aggregate of fair value and non-fair-value amounts in the same line item in the consolidated balance sheets and parenthetically disclose the amount measured at fair value in the aggregate amount. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in these financial statements are based on information available to the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost is initially recorded at the invoiced amount of services or API provided by third-party processors, Probos and Corfasac, including the sum of qualified expenditures and charges for bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Inventory is categorized into raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Raw materials consist of Crude Plant Latex (“CPL”), recognized as inventory upon harvest and valued at cost, including acquisition and harvest expenditures. Work-in-process inventory is recognized only when CPL has been transformed into API and is in transit to Patheon, with costs comprising direct materials, labor, and applicable overheads. Finished goods represent completed Crofelemer tablets ready for sale, valued at cost, which includes direct materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead allocated during production. The Company calculates inventory valuation adjustments when conditions indicate that net realizable value is less than cost due to physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future demand, or reductions in selling price. Inventory write-downs are measured as the difference between the cost of inventory and net realizable value. The Company does not have an allowance for

inventory obsolescence as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Inventory costs are removed from inventory and recorded in the cost of goods sold upon delivery of the tablets to customers.

Prelaunch Inventory

The Company’s policy is to capitalize costs for prelaunch inventories within the drug development phase, which is evidence that the product’s reasonably likely critical attributes for success are present and feasible, and the key causes of failures are absent based on management’s assumptions. The costs that can be capitalized for pre-launch inventory are recorded as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets.”

Property and Equipment

Land is stated at cost, reflecting the fair value of the property at July 31, 2017, the date of the Napo merger. Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment begins to be depreciated when it is placed into service. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of assets are charged to expenses as incurred. Costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the audited consolidated statement of operations.

Software Developed for Internal Use

The Company capitalizes the costs of developing software for internal use. These costs include both purchased software and internally developed software. Costs of developing software are expensed until technological feasibility has been established. Thereafter, all costs are capitalized and are carried at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Internally developed and purchased software costs are generally amortized over five years.

The Company evaluated the carrying value of its internal use software costs as of December 31, 2023, in accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment of Long-lived Assets to be Held or Used. Based on the evaluation, the Company determined that the internal use software costs – registry's carrying value as of December 31, 2023, were no longer recoverable and recorded a corresponding impairment loss. The impairment loss was calculated as the difference between the registry's carrying value and its estimated fair value on December 31, 2023. The fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model, a Level 3 evaluation technique under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). The DCF model utilized entity-specific assumptions regarding future sales volume, pricing, and costs. These assumptions considered factors such as the continuity of existing customer relationships, potential shifts in economic conditions, and other relevant market influences. The net cash flows generated by the model were then discounted to present value using a rate reflective of the time value of money and the inherent use associated with the expected cash flows. The discount rate was based on the comparable debt instrument deemed appropriate by management. Given the changing market conditions, there is a reasonable possibility that the estimates used to determine the registry's fair value may require adjustments in the near future. Any such changes in assumptions could result in further impairment charges. The Company recognized an expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, and a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of the internal use software costs – registry as a result of the impairment. As of December 31, 2024 the Company determined that none of its internal use software costs – registry were deemed impaired.

Long-lived Assets

The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of all its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, to determine whether indicators of impairment exist that warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives. If the Company determines that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets (asset group) based on a comparison of

projected undiscounted cash flows from use and eventual disposition with the carrying value of the related asset. Any write-downs (measured based on the difference between the fair value and the asset's carrying value) are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets (asset group). For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company determined that none of its long-lived were deemed impaired.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Acquired IPR&D are intangible assets acquired in the July 2017 Napo merger. Under ASC 805, Business Combination, IPR&D are initially recognized at fair value and classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the development period, these assets will not be amortized as charges to earnings; instead, these assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s fair value. The Company did not record any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Because the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.

The Company elected to include both the lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for its lease.

Lease Modification

ASC 842 defines lease modification as a change to the terms and conditions of a contract that results in a change in the scope of or the consideration for a lease. A lease modification can result in either a separate new contract that is accounted for separately from the original contract or a single modified contract.

The Company shall account for a modification to a contract as a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original lease and the lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract. When the Company concludes that a lease modification should be accounted for as a new contract that is separate and apart from the original lease, the new contract should be evaluated for whether it is a lease or contains an embedded lease. If the new contract is a lease or contains an embedded lease, the new lease should be accounted for as any other new lease. The new lease is recorded on the commencement date of the new lease, which is the date the lessee has access to the leased asset.

If a lease modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, the Company should reassess whether the contract contains a lease. If the modified contract is a lease or contains an embedded lease, a lessee should reallocate contract consideration, reassess the lease classification, remeasure the lease liability, and adjust the right-of-use asset.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities, including related salaries, clinical trials, and related drug and non-drug product costs, contract services, and other outside service expenses. Research and development expenses are charged to operating expenses during the period incurred.

Clinical Trial Accruals

Clinical trial costs are a component of research and development expenses. The Company accrues and expenses for clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon actual work completed in accordance with agreements established with clinical research organizations and clinical sites. The Company determines the costs to be recorded based upon validation with the external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of trials or services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

The Company’s policy typically permits returns if the product is damaged, defective, or otherwise cannot be used when received by the customer if the product has expired. Returns are accepted for products that will expire within three months or that have expired up to one year after their expiration dates. Estimates for expected returns of expired products are based primarily on an ongoing analysis of our historical return patterns.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principle of ASC 606 or when there is a transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

The Company does not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and customer payment is one year or less.

The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs. Additionally, the Company elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

Contracts - Distribution Agreement

The Company's Canalevia-CA1 and Neonorm products are primarily sold to distributors, who then sell the products to end customers. Since 2021, the Company has entered into one distribution agreement with an established distributor to distribute the Company’s animal health products in the United States. The distribution agreement and the related purchase orders together meet the contract existence criteria under ASC 606. The Company sells directly to its customers without the use of an agent.

Performance obligations

For animal health products sold by the Company, the single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer the Company’s animal health products to distributors based on specified payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. Product warranties are assurance-type warranties that do not represent a performance obligation. For the Company’s human health product, Mytesi, the single performance obligation identified above is the Company’s promise to transfer Mytesi to specialty pharmacies based on specified payment and shipping terms as outlined in the Exclusive Distribution Agreement entered into by the Company and Cardinal Health as of January 16, 2019.

Transaction price

For contracts with Cardinal Health and other distributors, the transaction price is the amount of consideration that which the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price of Mytesi is the Wholesaler Acquisition Cost (“WAC”), and the transaction price of Canalevia-CA1 and Neonorm is the manufacturer’s list price, net of discounts, returns, and price adjustments.

Allocate transaction price

For contracts with distributor, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in each contract.

Revenue recognition

For contracts with Cardinal Health, a single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time upon each contract's Free On Board (“FOB”) terms when control, including title and all risks, has transferred to the customer.

Disaggregation of Product Revenue

Human

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the products are delivered to the specialty pharmacies. Net revenues from the sale of Mytesi were $11.3 million and $9.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Animal

The Company recognized Canalevia-CA1 products revenues of $160,000 and $130,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized Neonorm revenues of $28,000 and $42,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenues are recognized at a point in time upon shipment, when title and control are transferred to the buyer. Sales of Canalevia-CA1, Neonorm Calf and Foal to distributors are made under agreements that may provide distributor price adjustments and rights of return under certain circumstances.

Contracts – Specialty Pharmacies

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company engaged a private company as an authorized specialty pharmacy provider of the Company’s Mytesi product. Under the Specialty Product Distribution Agreement, the Company shall supply the products directly to the private company’s specialty pharmacies in such amounts as may be ordered. There is no minimum purchase or inventory requirement. The specialty pharmacies were authorized distributors of record for all National Drug Codes of Mytesi.

Effective April 20, 2021, the Company engaged another private company as an authorized specialty pharmacy provider of Mytesi. Under the Specialty Pharmacy Distribution and Services Agreement, the private company shall sell and dispense Mytesi directly ordered from the Company at the agreed price to patients within the territories identified in the agreement.

The Company has entered into agreements with a total of five different specialty pharmacy chains that are authorized to provide Mytesi to patients.

Performance obligations

The single performance obligation is the Company’s promise to transfer Mytesi to specialty pharmacies, based on specified payment and shipping terms outlined in the agreements.

Transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The transaction price of Mytesi is the WAC, net of estimated discounts, returns, and price adjustments.

Allocate transaction price

The entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in each contract.

Revenue recognition

The single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, upon the FOB terms of each contract, when control, including title and all risks, has been transferred to the customer.

Product Revenue

Sales of Mytesi are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the products are delivered to the specialty pharmacies. Net revenues from the sale of Mytesi to the specialty pharmacies were $10.0 million and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contracts – Exclusive Distribution Agreement

On April 12, 2024, the Company entered into a five-year exclusive in-license agreement with Venture Life Group PLC (“Venture Life”), a United Kingdom-based international consumer health company. The agreement grants the Company the exclusive rights to market Venture Life's FDA-approved oral mucositis prescription product, Gelclair, within the US market. The Company paid a non-refundable license fee of €200,000 (equivalent to $215,040, excluding VAT) to Venture Life. Additionally, the Company will pay Venture Life a running royalty based on a percentage of the net sales throughout the agreement term. The royalty expense will be recognized as The non-refundable license fee has been capitalized as license under intangible assets, while the running royalty will be recognized as royalty expense. The agreement and binding term sheet collectively qualifies as a valid contract under ASC 606.

Performance obligations

The Company identified a single performance obligation, which is the exclusive rights to market Gelclair in the US market. The Company will pay Venture Life a running royalty based on a percentage of the net sales throughout the agreement term.

Transaction price

Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Allocate transaction price

The entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in the contract.

Revenue recognition

The single performance obligation is satisfied over-time, throughout the five-year license period.

Product Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a revenue of $49,000. As of December 31, 2024, the total royalty expense associated with this contract amounted to $15,000.

Contracts – License Agreement

Effective March 18, 2024, the Company engaged in a securities purchased agreement, supplemented by a binding term sheet, with Gen Ilac Ve Saglik Urunleri Sanayi Ve Ticaret, A.S. (“GEN”) (“Licensee”). The Company grants GEN a right to access its intellectual properties for the Company's FDA-approved prescription drug Crofelemer and commercialize Crofelemer finished product in licensed Eastern Europe territories for a consideration including license fees, royalties and product sales. The agreement and binding term sheet collectively qualifies as a valid contract under ASC 606.

Performance obligations

The Company identified two promises, namely (1) the grant of license to manufacture and commercialize pharmaceutical products that utilize Crofelemer (the “Licensing Transaction”) and (2) the supply of Crofelemer Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”). Licensee cannot benefit from the license alone without the API as the latter comes from a plant exclusive to the Company. No other entities can produce the API. Consequently, the grant of license and the supply API are not distinct, and accounted as a single performance obligation.

Transaction price

Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The transaction price in the contract with GEN includes both fixed and variable considerations.

For the Licensing Transaction, the fixed consideration is measured as the difference between the proceeds from the related share issuance and the fair value of the shares issued. The variable consideration, in the form of royalty, is based on a percentage of the Licensee's revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products utilizing Crofelemer. For the supply of Crofelemer API, the variable consideration is determined using the expected value of a wide range of possible amounts.

Allocate transaction price

The entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation contained in the contract.

Revenue recognition

The single performance obligation is satisfied over-time, throughout the five-year license period, based on the expiration dates of the licensed patents.

License Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2024, license fees recognized from the contract with GEN amounted to $129,000. As of December 31, 2024, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounted to $723,000.

Collaboration Revenue

Revenue recognition for collaboration agreements requires significant judgment. The Company’s assessments and estimates are based on contractual terms, historical experience, and general industry practice. Revisions in these values or estimations increase or decrease collaboration revenue in the period of revision.

On September 24, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution, License, and Supply Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Knight Therapeutics (“Knight”). The License Agreement has a term of 15 years (with automatic renewals) and provides Knight with an exclusive right to commercialize current and future Jaguar human health products (including crofelemer, NP-300, and any product containing a proanthocyanidin or with an anti-secretory mechanism) in Canada and Israel. Knight forfeited its right of first negotiation for expansion to Latin America. Under the License Agreement, Knight is responsible for applying for and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals in the territory of Canada and Israel, as well as marketing, sales, and distribution of the licensed products. Knight will pay a

transfer price for all licensed products, and upon achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones, the Company may receive payments from Knight in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $18.0 million, payable throughout the initial 15-year term of the agreement. The Company did not have any license revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Modifications to Liability-classified Instruments

In accounting for debt modifications and exchange transactions, it is the Company’s policy first to determine whether it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) pursuant to the guidance provided in ASC 470-60, Debt—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors (“ASC 470-60”). A debt modification or exchange transaction that is not within the scope of the ASC 470-60 is accounted for under ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”), to determine if the transaction is a mere modification or an extinguishment.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has entered amendments to the terms of its royalty interests and purchase agreements. The cumulative impact of these amendments resulted to certain extinguishments and modifications (See Note 7).

Modifications to Equity-classified Instruments

In accounting for modifications of equity-classified warrants, the Company’s policy is to determine the impact by analogy to the share-based compensation guidance of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The model for a modified share-based payment award that is classified as equity and remains classified in equity after the modification is addressed in ASC 718-20-35-3, Compensation-Stock Compensation—Awards Classified as Equity—Subsequent Measurement. Pursuant to that guidance, the incremental fair value from the modification is recognized as an expense in the statements of operations to the extent the modified instrument has a higher fair value; however, in certain circumstances, such as when an entire class of warrants is modified, the measured increase in fair value may be more appropriately recorded as a deemed dividend, depending upon the nature of the warrant modification.

The Company did not modify any equity-classified warrants for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

In accounting for amendments to preferred stock, the Company’s policy is to measure the impact by analogy to ASC 470-50 in determining if such an amendment is an extinguishment or a modification. If the amendment results in an extinguishment, the Company follows the SEC staff guidance in ASC 260-10-S99-2, Earnings Per Share—Overall—SEC Materials, and ASC 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options. If the amendment results in a modification, the Company follows the model in either ASC 718 or ASC 470-50, depending on the nature of the amendment.

The Company did not modify any equity-classified preferred stock for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company's Stock Incentive Plan (See Note 12) provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock unit awards. The Company measures stock awards granted to employees, non-employees, and directors at estimated fair value on the date of grant and recognizes the corresponding compensation expense of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service periods, which correspond to the vesting periods of the awards. If necessary, forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company issues stock awards with only service-based vesting conditions and records compensation expenses for these awards using the straight-line method.

The Company uses its common stock's grant date fair market value to determine the grant date fair value of options granted to employees, non-employees, and directors. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock options and RSUs granted to its employees and directors based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock

option awards. The fair value is recognized as an expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award, on a straight-line basis. The Company believes that the fair value of stock options granted to non-employees is more reliably measured than the fair value of the services received. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option pricing model is affected by the Company’s estimated common stock fair value and requires management to make a number of assumptions, including the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair market value of common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the date of the grant.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under these principles, tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. The tax position is the most significant benefit, with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company files a consolidated tax return for its related entities.

Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Translation

The functional currency of Napo Therapeutics is the Euro. The Company follows ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”). ASC 830 requires the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of a foreign operation to be measured using the functional currency of that foreign operation. Exchange gains or losses from remeasuring transactions and monetary accounts in a currency other than the functional currency are included in current earnings or losses.

Translation adjustments result from translating the functional currency of subsidiary financial statements into the US Dollar reporting currency. These translation adjustments are reported separately and accumulated in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company follows ASC 220, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of other comprehensive income from translation adjustments were $217,000 and $31,000, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year by the weighted average number of common stock, including potential dilutive shares of common stock assuming the dilutive effect of

potential dilutive securities. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate diluted net loss per share. For years in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because their impact would be anti-dilutive to the calculation of net loss per share. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reports a combined basic net loss and diluted loss per share of common stock. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which amends Topic 280 by enhancing segment reporting by requiring more detailed expense information for each reportable segment. Under the guidance, public entities are required to disclose (1) significant expense categories and amounts as those regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for each reportable segment and how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss to assess segment performance and decide how to allocate resources (2) the amount and composition of other segment items included in reported segment profit or loss, and (3) the CODM’s position and title. Additionally, multiple measures of a segment’s profit or loss may be reported, under certain conditions, and single reportable segment entities must apply Topic 280 in its entirety.

The ASU requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. For each interim period, the total of the reportable segments’ amount for the measures of profit or loss is to be reconciled to the public entity's consolidated income before income taxes and discontinued operations. For each annual period, the total of the reportable segments’ amounts for the measures of profit or loss, revenues, and assets is to be reconciled to the public entity's consolidated income before income taxes and discontinued operations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the ASU on its interim period reporting as of and for the period ended September 30, 2024.
