**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report" or Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made or will make forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements related to present facts or current conditions or of historical facts, contained in this Report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, and projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, research and development plans, the anticipated timing, costs, design and conduct of our ongoing and planned clinical trials and preclinical studies for elraglusib and any future product candidates, the timing and likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for elraglusib and any future product candidates, our ability to commercialize elraglusib and any future product candidates, if approved, the pricing and reimbursement of elraglusib and any future product candidates, if approved, the potential to develop future product candidates, the potential benefits of strategic collaborations and potential to enter into any future strategic arrangements, the timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and future results of anticipated product development efforts, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "ongoing," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. In addition, any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors summarized under the heading "Risk Factor Summary" and discussed further under the heading "Risk Factors" in this Report.

You should assume that the information appearing in this Report is accurate as of its date only. Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All written or oral forward-looking statements in this Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the risk factors and cautionary statements contained in this Report. Unless legally required, we do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

In addition, statements that "we believe" and similarly qualified statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to rely unduly upon them.

The discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in this Report.

**RISK FACTOR SUMMARY**

Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our common stock speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks and uncertainties that we face. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider this section to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that may substantially impact our business. Additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties summarized in this risk factor summary, as well as other risks and uncertainties that we face, are further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and under the heading "Risk Factors" in these Reports.

**Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History, Financial Condition and Capital Requirements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We have a limited operating history, have incurred
significant operating losses and expect to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. We have a high risk of never
generating revenue or becoming profitable or, if we achieve profitability, it may not be sustained.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our financial condition raises substantial doubt
as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We require substantial additional capital in
the near term to finance our operations, and a failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, could
force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our development programs, commercialization efforts or other operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Raising additional capital may cause dilution
to our stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates. In addition,
any capital obtained by us may be obtained on terms that are unfavorable to us, our investors, or both.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Under the Committed Equity Facility (as defined
below) with B. Riley Principal Capital II ("B. Riley"), it is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will
sell to B. Riley, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

**Risks Related to Clinical Development and Potential Regulatory Approval**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We do not have, and may never have, any approved
products on the market. Our business is highly dependent upon receiving approvals from various governmental agencies and will be severely
harmed if we are not granted approval to manufacture and sell our product candidates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We currently depend entirely on the success of
elraglusib, which is our lead product candidate. If we are unable to advance elraglusib in clinical development, obtain regulatory approval
and ultimately commercialize elraglusib in a timely manner, our business will be materially harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Even if we complete all planned clinical trials
including a Phase 3 trial in the future, there is no guarantee that at the time of submission the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
("FDA") will accept our New Drug Application ("NDA").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Clinical and preclinical drug development involves
a lengthy and expensive process with uncertain timelines and outcomes, and results of prior preclinical studies and early clinical trials
are not necessarily predictive of future results. Elraglusib or any future product candidates may not achieve favorable results or receive
regulatory approval on a timely basis, if at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We may not be successful in our efforts to advance
elraglusib in additional indications. We may expend our limited resources to pursue a new product candidate or a particular indication
for elraglusib and fail to capitalize on more profitable or successful alternatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Use of elraglusib or any future product candidates
could be associated with side effects, adverse events or other properties or safety risks, which could delay or preclude regulatory approval,
cause us to suspend or discontinue clinical trials, abandon elraglusib or any future product candidate, limit the commercial profile of
an approved label or result in other significant negative consequences that could severely harm our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If we experience delays or difficulties in the
enrollment of subjects to our clinical trials, our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or otherwise adversely affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Interim, topline, and preliminary data from our
clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit
and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

**Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The termination of third-party licenses could
adversely affect our rights to important technologies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our current elraglusib drug substance ("DS")
manufacturer is in China, and it is unknown how current or future geopolitical relationships with China may affect our ability to obtain
DS, increase our costs, delay clinical trials and potential regulatory approval, and adversely impact our financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Unfavorable tariffs could increase the cost of
DS of elraglusib used in clinical trials and potential commercialization, if approved, which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We rely on third parties to conduct our non-clinical
studies and clinical trials. If these parties do not successfully carry out their duties or meet deadlines, we may be unable to obtain
regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates and adversely affect our financial condition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Data provided by collaborators and other parties
upon which we rely have not been independently verified and could turn out to be inaccurate, misleading or incomplete.

**Risks Related to Commercialization of Elraglusib and any Future Product Candidates**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We have a limited operating history and no products
approved for commercial sale, which may make it difficult to evaluate our prospects and likelihood of success.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our business is highly dependent on the success
of our sole product candidate, elraglusib and any other future product candidates that we advance into clinical development, all of which
will require significant additional development before we can seek regulatory approval for and launch a product commercially.

**Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· We may not be able to enforce our intellectual
property rights throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If we and our third-party licensors do not obtain
and preserve protection for key intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our development efforts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If we fail to comply with our license, collaboration
or other intellectual property-related agreements, we may incur damages and could lose rights that may be necessary for developing, commercializing
and protecting our current or future technologies or drug candidates or granting sublicenses.

**Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Industry**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If we lose key management leadership, and/or
scientific personnel, and if we cannot recruit qualified employees or other significant personnel, we may experience program delays and
increased compensation costs, and our business may be materially disrupted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Competition and technological change may make
our product candidates less competitive or obsolete. We face significant competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies,
and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our anticipated operating expenses and capital
expenditures are based upon our management's estimates of possible future events. Actual amounts could differ materially from those
estimated.

**Risks Associated to our Common Stock**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Concentration of ownership by our principal stockholders
limits the ability of others to influence the outcome of director elections and other transactions requiring stockholder approval, creates
the potential for conflicts of interest, may negatively impact our stock price and may deter or prevent efforts by others to acquire us,
preventing our stockholders from realizing a control premium.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Current and new investors will experience dilution
due to future sales or issuances of our common stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The trading price of the shares of our common
stock could be highly volatile regardless of our operating performance, and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Numerous shares may now be sold into the open
market upon expiry of the IPO lock-up in February 2025. Substantial sales of shares could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sales of a substantial number of our securities
in the public market by our existing stockholders under the underwritten public offering with Lucid Capital Markets, LLC on September
11, 2025, the Committed Equity Facility with B. Riley, or through the registration for resale of the shares sold or underlying warrants
issued in our June 2025 Private Placement (as defined below) of common stock and warrants could cause the price of our shares of common
stock to fall.

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**For The Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 (unaudited)**

 

 **1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 16, 2015 and is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for the treatment of cancers through the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 ("GSK-3"). The Company's lead investigational product, elraglusib (formerly 9-ING-41), is a small molecule that is designed to enter cancer cells and block the function of the enzyme GSK-3β, thereby causing the death of the cancer cells and the regulation of anti-tumor immunity.

The Company has a 100%-owned Irish subsidiary, Actuate Therapeutics Limited, that is currently dormant.

**Basis of Presentation** 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include only normal and recurring adjustments that the Company believes are necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Because all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements are not included herein, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes accompanying them should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025.

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") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

**Going Concern and Management's Plans**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16,924,763 and working capital of $11,071,338. The Company has not generated any revenue and has incurred recurring operating losses since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and therefore the Company's ability to continue its operations is highly dependent on its ability to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its future operations.

On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the "Committed Equity Facility") with B. Riley Principal Capital II ("B. Riley") giving the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell to B. Riley over a 36-month period up to the lesser of (i) $50 million of newly issued shares of our common stock and (ii) 3,904,374 shares of the Company's common stock (see Note 7). The price per share of common stock sold to B. Riley is determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock as defined within the Committed Equity Facility less a 3% discount, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The total net proceeds that the Company will receive under the Committed Equity Facility will depend on the quantity, frequency and prices at which the Company sells common stock to B. Riley. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $3,800,465 in exchange for 539,967 shares of common stock sold under the Committed Equity Facility (see Note 7).

On June 25, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of common stock and warrants with certain institutional and accredited investors, which closed on June 27, 2025 (the "June 2025 Private Placement"). Under the June 2025 Private Placement, the Company received aggregate net proceeds of $4,592,462 (see Note 7).

On September 10, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriter Agreement") with Lucid Capital Markets, LLC ("Underwriter") relating to an underwritten public offering of 2,142,858 shares of common stock plus an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 321,428 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses ("September 2025 Public Offering"). The offering closed on September 11, 2025 and the Company issued 2,464,286 shares of common stock to the Underwriter, including shares issued under the over-allotment option, in exchange for net proceeds of $15,573,966 (see Note 7).

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient proceeds in the future under the Committed Equity Facility or any additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock for a period of seventy-five (75) days from the closing date of the September 2025 Public Offering.

Management anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions, that our cash and cash equivalents on hand will not satisfy the Company's operational and capital requirements beyond the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 without raising additional capital. As the Company continues to execute its business plan, it plans to seek financing for its operations through equity offerings, debt financings, or other capital sources. Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by business conditions, global economic conditions, disruptions to, and volatility in, the financial markets in the United States and worldwide, among other matters, and we may not obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our scope of operations to reduce the current rate of spending through actions such as the need to delay, limit, reduce, grant rights to develop or terminate its product development or even cease operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition. Based on the above matters, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025. Since the date of such audited consolidated financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Actuate Therapeutics Limited. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 ****

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates, assumptions and judgements on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements including stock-based compensation expense and accrued expenses (including accrued expenses related to research and development ("R&D") as described below), and the recoverability of the Company's net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including the expected business and operational changes, the sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under different assumptions or conditions.

***Accrued Expenses Related to R&D Expenses***

As part of the process of preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our R&D expenses as of each balance sheet date. This process involves reviewing open contracts, including clinical site contracts, and communicating with our personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf, and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost. We make estimates of our R&D expenses as of each balance sheet date based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. The significant estimates in our R&D expenses include the costs incurred for services performed by our vendors in connection with services for which we have not yet been invoiced. We base our expenses related to R&D activities on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to quotes and contracts with contractors and vendors that conduct R&D on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract, and may result in uneven payment flows. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future R&D activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made.

Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, if our estimates of the status and timing of services performed differ from the actual status and timing of services performed, it could result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. To date, there have been no material differences between our estimates of such expenses and the amounts actually incurred.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

Authoritative guidance requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. The Company applies fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The carrying amount of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their estimated fair values primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments or based on information obtained from market sources and management estimates. A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value which is not equivalent to cost will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

· Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

· Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that
are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted
prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially
the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

· Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are
supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and
liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar
valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification at each reporting date. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between the levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the periods presented.

***Deferred Offering Costs***

The Company capitalized as deferred offering costs all direct and incremental legal, professional, accounting and other third-party fees incurred in connection with the Company's equity offerings. Deferred offering costs will be offset against offering proceeds upon the completion of an offering or during the offering period as proceeds are received on a pro rata basis. In the event that an offering is abandoned, deferred offering costs will be expensed in the period of abandonment in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

***Comprehensive Loss***

There were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

***Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders***

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible notes payable, warrants to purchase Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, outstanding warrants, unvested RSAs, and outstanding stock options and RSUs are considered to be potentially dilutive securities when outstanding (see Note 10). As of August 14, 2024, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible notes payable, warrants to purchase Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock were no longer outstanding, and therefore were no longer considered to be potentially dilutive securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. In addition, included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation were RSUs awarded to an executive officer that had vested during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, but the issuance and delivery of the shares are deferred until the first quarter of 2026. The number of shares underlying vested and unsettled RSUs at September 30, 2025 was 272,055.

Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities as the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock subject to repurchase are considered participating securities. The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock did not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company's losses, and unvested RSAs subject to repurchase is considered an unvested stock-based compensation award for accounting purposes. As such, the net loss is attributed entirely to common stockholders. Because the Company has reported a net loss for the reporting periods presented, the diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.

***Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted***

Accounting standards not listed below were assessed and determined not to be applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. The guidance includes the requirement that public business entities, on an annual basis, disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). It also requires that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received) and requires that all entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. Lastly, the guidance eliminates the requirement for all entities to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months or make a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value which were not equivalent to cost.

**4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES** 

Other accrued expenses as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30,** <br> **2025** | **December 31,<br> 2024** |
| Accrued clinical trial costs | $3793554 | $5483846 |
| Other accrued expenses | 465494 | 438062 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total other accrued expenses | $4259048 | $5921908 |

---

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

 ****

***Operating Lease***

On December 1, 2024, the Company rented office space on a month-to-month basis with no long-term commitment, representing a short-term lease. As a result, the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption to its office lease and therefore has not recorded a right of use ("ROU") asset and related lease liability in accordance with ASC 842, *Leases* ("ASC 842"). Rent expense recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $12,900 and $38,300, respectively, which amounts were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 ****

***Legal***

The Company may be involved, from time to time, in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes and are not predictable with assurance. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition. To the Company's knowledge, the Company is not subject to any pending legal proceedings.

***Indemnities and Guarantees***

 ****

We have made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions. We indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. These indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

**6. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LICENSES AND AGREEMENTS**

***UIC License Agreement***

On April 6, 2015, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Equity (the "UIC License Agreement") with The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois ("UIC"), whereby, UIC granted the Company (a) an exclusive, nontransferable license, with the right to sublicense under UIC's rights in the Patent Rights (as defined in the UIC License Agreement), and (b) a non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, to use UIC's rights in the Technical Information (as defined in the UIC License Agreement) for all uses. In consideration of the license granted under the UIC License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay UIC (i) development milestones of up to $1.25 million, of which, up to $0.25 million is due upon the progress of clinical trials and $1.0 million is due upon the initiation of commercial sales, (ii) annual minimum royalty payments, increasing to $50,000 in year six and each year thereafter, (iii) royalty on net sales for product covered under the Patent Rights in the low single digits with a 50% reduction in royalties for products solely utilizing Technical Information, (iv) a declining percentage of sublicensing revenue based on the escalating stage of development upon a sublicensing event, and (v) the reimbursement of all patent and related expenses incurred by UIC covering the Patent Rights. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred minimum royalty expenses and other reimbursable expenses to UIC in the aggregate amount of $0 and $58,158, respectively, which amounts were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred minimum royalty expenses to UIC in the aggregate amount of $0 and $50,000, respectively, which amounts were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In addition, the Company entered into a sublicense and collaboration agreement dated August 28, 2017 with an unrelated entity that was covered under the UIC License Agreement, which sublicense agreement was later terminated on January 31, 2018. Under the UIC License Agreement, the Company owed UIC a certain percentage of amounts received under the sublicense agreement in the amount of $449,990. The Company paid UIC 10% of the sublicense fees in the amount of $44,999 and the remaining unpaid balance of $404,991 ("Deferred Amount") was originally due and payable to UIC in two installments: 50% due and payable on the one-year anniversary from the first commercial sale and 50% due on the second-year anniversary from the first commercial sale. The Deferred Amount is treated as debt and continues to accrue interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, representing the prime rate as of the date of the agreement plus 1%. On July 16, 2024, the Company and UIC entered into an amendment to the UIC License Agreement ("UIC Amendment"). Pursuant to the UIC Amendment, accrued interest is due and payable in two installments: (i) 50% was due and paid within 30 days following the closing of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") on August 14, 2024; and (ii) 50% was due and paid within 30 days following the first anniversary of the closing of the IPO. Thereafter, interest will be paid annually within 30 days following the second anniversary of the closing of the IPO and annually thereafter.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY** 

***Authorized and Issued Capital***

The Company's authorized capital consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.000001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.000001 par value per share. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 23,243,328 and 19,531,636 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

***September 2025 Public Offering***

On September 10, 2025, the Company entered into an underwritten public offering of 2,142,858 shares of common stock plus an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 321,428 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Upon closing the September 2025 Public Offering on September 11, 2025 ("Closing Date"), the Company issued 2,464,286 shares of common stock to the Underwriter, including shares issued under the over-allotment option, in exchange for net proceeds of $15,573,966, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of approximately $1,676,036. In addition, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock for a period of seventy-five (75) days from the Closing Date.

***June 2025 Private Placement***

On June 25, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private placement of common stock and warrants with certain institutional and accredited investors, including Bios 2024 Co-Invest, LP. Dr. Aaron G.L. Fletcher, the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, is a Managing Partner and co-founder of Bios Partners, of which Bios 2024 Co-Invest, LP is an affiliate entity. Upon closing of the June 2025 Private Placement on June 27, 2025, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of (i) 666,497 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $7.00 per share, and (ii) issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 666,497 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable on a cash only basis at any time after the date of issuance and expire 20 days following the earliest to occur of (i) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") issuing Breakthrough Therapy Designation ("BTD") for elraglusib and (ii) the date that the FDA provides written communication available to the Company of its determination as to whether the Company may pursue registration for elraglusib using its currently available Phase 2 data or data from a Phase 3 clinical trial ("Warrant Expiry Date"). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $4,665,479 from the June 2025 Private Placement, before deducting fees and offering expenses of $73,017, of which we received gross proceeds of $499,996 from Bios 2024 Co-Invest, LP in exchange for 71,428 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 71,428 shares of common stock.

The warrants issued under the June 2025 Private Placement were classified as a component of permanent stockholders' equity within additional paid-in-capital and were recorded at the issuance date. The warrants are equity classified because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instruments, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise, are indexed to the Company's common stock and meet the equity classification criteria. In addition, the warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return.

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement ("Registration Rights Agreement") with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying the warrants. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), covering the resale of the shares of common stock, which was filed on July 25, 2025 prior to the filing deadline. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 4, 2025. The Company also agreed to use reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Purchasers have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby or (ii) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be resold by the Purchasers without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 ("Rule 144") of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. In addition, certain liquidated damages provisions will apply to the Company in the event that the registration is not effective or its use has been suspended beyond specified grace periods, as described in the Registration Rights Agreement.

***Committed Equity Facility***

On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a Committed Equity Facility with B. Riley giving the Company the right, but not the obligation, to sell to B. Riley over a 36-month period up to the lesser of (i) $50 million of newly issued shares of our common stock and (ii) 3,904,374 shares of the Company's common stock. The price per share of common stock sold to B. Riley is determined by reference to the daily volume weighted-average price of the Company's common stock as defined within the Committed Equity Facility less a 3% discount, subject to certain limitations and conditions, as calculated on each day the Company sells shares of its common stock under the Committed Equity Facility. The total net proceeds that the Company will receive under the Committed Equity Facility will depend on the quantity, frequency and prices at which the Company sells common stock to B. Riley.

Upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to B. Riley's obligation to purchase shares under the Committed Equity Facility, including that a registration statement registering the resale by B. Riley of the shares of common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC (which occurred on April 16, 2025), we have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion, to deliver one or more notices to direct B. Riley to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock on any trading day, not to exceed the lesser of: (i) 1,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) up to 50.0% of the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of our common stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable trading day, provided the closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately prior to such purchase date is not less than $1.00.

In addition, we will not sell, and B. Riley will not purchase any shares pursuant to the Committed Equity Facility, which, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by B. Riley and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by B. Riley and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of our outstanding voting power or shares of common stock.

Moreover, under the applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may we issue to B. Riley more than 3,904,374 shares of common stock (representing 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Committed Equity Facility) unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average price per share paid by B. Riley for all of the shares of common stock that we direct B. Riley to purchase from us pursuant to the Committed Equity Facility equals or exceeds $7.56 per share (representing the lower of (a) the official closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq immediately preceding the execution of the Committed Equity Facility and (b) the average official closing price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the execution of the Committed Equity Facility, as adjusted to take into account the payment of the Cash Commitment Fee (as defined below) to B. Riley).

As consideration for B. Riley's commitment to purchase shares of common stock at the Company's direction, the Company agreed to pay B. Riley a cash commitment fee in the amount of up to $500,000 (the "Cash Commitment Fee"), which represents 1.0% of B. Riley's $50,000,000 total aggregate purchase commitment under the Committed Equity Facility. The Cash Commitment Fee will be earned and paid by withholding cash amounts equal to 10% of the total aggregate purchase price payable by B. Riley to the Company in connection with each purchase effected under the Committed Equity Facility, until such time as B. Riley shall have earned and received from such cash withholdings a total aggregate amount in cash equal to $500,000.

In addition, the Company reimbursed B. Riley for the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of B. Riley's legal counsel and other expenses in the amount of $125,000 and agreed to future quarterly reimbursements of $5,000 during the term of the Committed Equity Facility.

We have the right to terminate the Committed Equity Facility at any time, at no cost or penalty, upon ten (10) trading days' prior written notice to B. Riley. In addition, there are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages under the Committed Equity Facility, other than a prohibition (with certain limited exceptions) on entering into specified variable rate transactions, as defined.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, B. Riley purchased 539,967 and shares of common stock under the Committed Equity Facility in exchange for net proceeds to the Company of $3,800,465, after deducting the 3% discount, the earned Cash Commitment Fee, and other offering expenses in the aggregate amount of $603,655.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS**

***Stock Incentive Plans***

In connection with the Company's IPO, our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved our 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), which became effective on August 12, 2024, the effective date of the registration statement for the Company's IPO. The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to enhance the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate individuals by providing these individuals with equity ownership and incentive opportunities. All of the Company's employees, as well as all of the Company's non-employee directors and other consultants, advisors and other persons who provide services to the Company are eligible to receive incentive awards under the 2024 Plan, including stock options grants, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and other awards. Up to 3,316,444 shares of common stock were originally reserved for future issuance under the 2024 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on and including January 1, 2034 equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) such smaller number of shares of common stock as may be determined by the Board. Effective January 1, 2025, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan increased by 976,581 under clause (i). As of September 30, 2025, there were 2,224,341 shares available for grant under the 2024 Plan.

In addition, the Company had previously adopted the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"). As of September 30, 2025, there were 349,626 stock options outstanding and 20,142 unvested RSAs outstanding under the 2015 Plan. On the effective date of the 2024 Plan, there were no remaining shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

***Restricted Stock Awards***

At September 30, 2025, the total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested service-based RSAs and unvested performance based RSAs was approximately $16,000 and $42,000, respectively. The unrecognized cost related to service-based RSAs is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 0.43 years. The unrecognized cost related to performance-based RSAs will be recognized ratably over the performance period based upon the probable number of shares expected to vest. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was no expense recorded for the outstanding performance-based RSAs.

The potential dilutive effect of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Related Party Convertible Notes Payable outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was calculated using the if-converted method assuming the conversion of underlying instruments as of the earliest period reported or at the date of issuance, if later, but are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. The potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested RSAs, unvested RSUs, and outstanding warrants during the period are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, but are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The number of whole shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect were as follows:

---

**Item 2.** **Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

*The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes of Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. included in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report" or "Report") and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 13, 2025.*

 

*This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements reflecting our management's current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those described in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, particularly those set forth under "Risk Factors."*

**Business Overview**

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment of high impact, difficult to treat cancers through the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 ("GSK-3"). We are developing elraglusib (formerly 9-ING-41), an ATP-competitive small molecule that is designed to enter cancer cells and block the function of the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta ("GSK-3β"), a master regulator of complex biological signaling cascades, including those mediated by oncogenes, that lead to tumor cell survival, growth, migration, and invasion. We believe that the blockade of GSK-3β signaling ultimately results in the death of the cancer cells and the regulation of anti-tumor immunity.

Since our inception in 2015, we have focused substantially all of our resources on organizing and staffing our Company, business planning, raising capital, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, conducting research, preclinical studies, and clinical trials, establishing arrangements with third parties for the manufacture of elraglusib, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales since inception.

We have exclusively licensed a portfolio of GSK-3 inhibitors developed in a collaboration between The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois-Chicago ("UIC") and Northwestern University ("NU"). Elraglusib is the lead investigational product in our portfolio and is being evaluated in a Phase 2 trial in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ("mPDAC"), our most advanced clinical indication to date. We also advanced a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in refractory pediatric malignancies, including Ewing sarcoma ("EWS"), which we recently completed in July 2025.

Elraglusib represents a broad opportunity for us to potentially initiate and advance multiple drug development programs around our lead asset based on data emerging from completed or ongoing Phase 1/2 trials and non-clinical biological, cellular, and animal data. Animal tumor model data, Phase 1/2 clinical data and AI-based computational approaches have identified a number of areas of unmet clinical need in cancer where elraglusib may play an interventional role, including pancreatic, metastatic melanoma, lung, colon, breast, renal, and ovarian cancer, leukemias and lymphomas, as well as some pediatric cancers including Ewing sarcoma, neuroblastoma and pediatric leukemias.

Our lead clinical program, referred to as Actuate-1801, is focused on evaluating the intravenous ("IV") injection solution of elraglusib ("Elraglusib Injection") for the treatment of first-line mPDAC. The Actuate-1801 trial is a randomized, controlled Phase 2 trial of elraglusib in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel ("GnP") versus GnP alone in first-line mPDAC. The trial enrolled 286 patients with mPDAC and no prior systemic treatment for metastatic disease, who were randomized 2:1 to the elraglusib/GnP combination arm or the GnP arm. The primary endpoint for this study was median overall survival ("mOS"), with overall survival ("OS") summarized throughout the study by estimates of 1-year survival. Secondary endpoints were overall response rates ("ORR"), median progression-free survival ("PFS"), disease control rate ("DCR") and adverse events.

Topline data announced in May 2025 in the pre-specified safety population as of March 27, 2025 showed that the trial met its primary endpoint of improved mOS in patients in the elraglusib/GnP combination arm versus the GnP control arm. The analysis of topline data demonstrated treatment with elraglusib/GnP resulted in statistically significant increases in 1-year survival rate (p-value of 0.0005) and mOS (10.1 months vs 7.2 months, HR=0.63, log-rank p=0.01) with a 37% reduction in the risk of death versus treatment with GnP alone.

The following table provides additional topline results from the study as of March 27, 2025:

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <br> **Safety Population** | **Elraglusib/GnP**<br> **(n=155)** | **GnP**<br> **(n=78)** |
| Primary Endpoint: mOS (months)<br> HR=0.63; log-rank p=0.01\* | 10.1 | 7.2 |
| 12-month OS (%) p=0.0005\* | 44.1 | 22.3 |
| Number (%) of death events | 114 (73.5) | 70 (89.7) |
| 18-month OS (%) | 19.7 | 4.4 |
| 24-month OS (%) | 13.8 | 0 |

\*statistically significant

In addition, topline data showed there were numerically improved overall response rates ("ORR"), median progression-free survival ("PFS") and disease control rate ("DCR") in the elraglusib/GnP combination arm versus the GnP arm as noted in the below table.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <br> **Safety Population** | **Elraglusib/GnP**<br> **(n=155)** | **GnP**<br> **(n=78)** |
| ORR (%) | 29.0 | 21.8 |
| PFS (months) | 5.6 | 5.1 |
| DCR (%) | 61.3 | 56.4 |

---

Moreover, treatment-emergent adverse events ("TEAEs") and Serious Adverse Events ("SAEs") in the elraglusib/GnP combination arm were similar to those observed in the GnP arm, indicating a favorable risk-benefit profile for the elraglusib/GnP combination. Treatment-related adverse events ("TRAEs") were mostly Grade 1-2, with the most frequent TRAEs observed (in about two-thirds of patients) being transient visual disturbances that were reversible and non-progressive. Also, while Grade 3 or higher neutropenia was observed more often in the elraglusib/GnP treated patients, similar rates of febrile neutropenia and sepsis were observed in both treatment arms.

In addition, we recently amended our investigational new drug ("IND") application with the FDA with updated topline clinical data covering our Actuate-1801 trial in addition to filing for Breakthrough Therapy Designation ("BTD") shortly thereafter. In response to our submission, the FDA notified us that for a BTD, they will require that a new therapy demonstrate a substantial improvement in the treatment of mPDAC over all existing standard of care therapies, including irinotecan-containing regimens. Therefore, if clinical data are supportive from our ongoing or future trials in mPDAC evaluating the combination of elraglusib plus other combination agents, we will need to submit those data to the FDA to support a potential BTD. In addition, we plan to request meetings with the FDA to gain regulatory clarity on the design of a future clinical trial required to support potential product registration in the U.S. and with the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") to discuss regulatory and clinical trial requirements for potential conditional approval in Europe ("EU") for the treatment of first-line mPDAC.

The topline data noted herein should not be relied upon as a final analysis and is subject to change once full data analysis is complete.

In addition, Elraglusib Injection was also evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial completed in July 2025 in refractory pediatric malignancies and the data from this study (Actuate-1902) identified EWS as a potential second indication for further development of Elraglusib Injection. We plan to advance the clinical program towards a Phase 2 study in children, adolescents, and adults with relapsed/refractory EWS in 2026, subject to available funding.

We have developed several oral dosage forms of elraglusib, which we believe will allow us to expand the number of cancer indications that we are able to target and allow us to further explore more convenient dose delivery options for patients. A clinical candidate tablet ("Elraglusib Oral Tablet") has been selected for further development, and we are planning a Phase 1 study (Actuate-2401) to identify the maximum tolerated dose ("MTD") and recommended Phase 2 dose ("RP2D") for Elraglusib Oral Tablet in patients with advanced, refractory adult cancers, subject to future funding.

**Components of Our Results of Operations**

Our operating expenses consist of (i) research and development expenses and (ii) general and administrative expenses.

**Research and Development Expenses**

Research and development expenses consist primarily of external and internal costs incurred in performing clinical and preclinical development activities. Our external research and development costs primarily consist of the cost incurred under agreements with hospitals to treat and monitor patients enrolled in our clinical trials, contract research organizations ("CROs") and contract manufacturers, consultants and other third parties to conduct and support our clinical trials and preclinical studies. Our internal research and development costs primarily include research and development personnel-related expenses such as employee compensation, employer taxes, group insurance benefits, and stock-based compensation.

We expense research and development costs as incurred. We have been developing our lead investigational product candidate, elraglusib, since inception, and therefore, substantially all of our research and development costs were related to the development of elraglusib. We track research and development expenses on an aggregate basis and not on an indication-by-indication or treatment setting-by-treatment setting basis.

Although research and development activities are central to our business model, the successful development of elraglusib and any future product candidates is highly uncertain. There are numerous factors associated with the successful development of any product candidate such as elraglusib, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. In addition, future regulatory factors beyond our control may impact our clinical development programs. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased number of patients and duration of later-stage clinical trials. As a result, we expect our research and development expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing and planned clinical and preclinical development activities in the near term and in the future, provided we are able to raise additional capital. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the preclinical and clinical development of elraglusib and any future product candidates. Our future research and development expenses may vary significantly based on a wide variety of factors such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the results of our clinical trials and preclinical
studies of elraglusib and any future product candidates we may choose to pursue, including any modifications to clinical development plans
based on feedback that we may receive from regulatory authorities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· per patient trial costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of trials required for approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of sites included in the trials and
the number of countries in which the trials are conducted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of patients that participate in the
trials, the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients, and the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the number of doses that patients receive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the potential additional safety monitoring requested
by regulatory agencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the duration of patient participation in the
trials and follow-up;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the cost and timing of manufacturing elraglusib
and any future product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the costs, if any, of obtaining third-party drugs
for use in our combination trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the extent of changes in government regulation
and regulatory guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the efficacy and safety profile of elraglusib
and any future product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the timing, receipt, and terms of any approvals
from applicable regulatory authorities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the extent to which we establish additional collaboration,
license, or other arrangements.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of elraglusib or any future product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any product candidate.

**General and Administrative Expenses**

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses such as employee compensation, benefits, and stock-based compensation, for our personnel in executive and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters and professional fees paid for accounting, auditing, consulting and tax services, as well as other costs such as insurance costs, board of director fees, investor and public relations, and travel expenses.

We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we expand our operations, including increasing our headcount to support our continued research and development activities and preparing for later-stage clinical trials and potential commercialization of elraglusib. We also anticipate we will continue to incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, director and officer insurance, and investor and public relations expenses associated with operating as a public company.

**Other Income (Expense)**

*Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability*

We previously had outstanding warrants that required liability classification. The warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, with any changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense), net. The warrant liabilities were remeasured upon the closing of our initial public offering ("IPO") and marked to market to its fair value before being reclassified to equity.

*Loss on Issuance of Related Party Convertible Notes Payable; Change in Estimated Fair Value of Related Party Convertible Notes Payable*

 

Upon issuance of certain notes payable, we elected to apply the fair value option in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, *Financial Instruments*. In certain circumstances, the estimated fair value at issuance may be greater than the principal amount at issuance. The fair value of these notes payable was estimated at each reporting period while outstanding. These notes payable were converted into common stock upon the closing of the IPO in August 2024.

*Interest Expense*

Interest expense represents interest owed to UIC under our license agreement with UIC, whereby UIC agreed to defer amounts owed to UIC under a former sublicense agreement in the amount of $404,991.

*Interest Income*

Interest income represents interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents at the then prevailing market rates.

**Results of Operations**

We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. Our net losses were $27,285,328 and $24,744,620 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17,673,899 and $20,839,239 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $150,053,748. Substantially all of our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses in the foreseeable future, and we anticipate these losses will increase substantially as we continue our development of, seek regulatory approval for, and potentially commercialize elraglusib, and potentially seek to discover, acquire and develop additional product candidates, utilize third parties to manufacture elraglusib, hire additional personnel, expand and protect our intellectual property, and incur additional costs associated with being a public company. If we obtain regulatory approval for elraglusib, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing and distribution.

---

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1,658,655 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period was primarily due to (i) an increase in personnel-related expenses of $1,388,065 mostly due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1,157,603 related to awards granted to employees, non-employee members of the board of directors, and consultants of the Company combined with a current period increase in base salaries for certain administrative employees and an increase in bonus expense, (ii) an increase in professional and consulting fees of $187,166 primarily due to an increase in consulting fees associated with investor relations and administrative support, and (iii) an increase in other expenses of $83,424 primarily due to an increase in the cost of directors and officers insurance, board fees, and other public company expenses.

*Other Income (Expense)*

 

Other income (expense), net, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is comprised of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Change in fair value of warrant liability* — During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a decrease in fair value of the warrant liability of $193,951
based on the estimated fair value of warrant liability using the Black-Scholes valuation model at August 14, 2024 (closing date of the
IPO), which amount is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As
of December 31, 2024, there were no Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants outstanding and no related warrant liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Gain on settlement of warrants* —
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain on settlement of warrants of $343,240 on the closing date of the
IPO, representing the difference between the estimated fair value at June 30, 2024 and the estimated fair value upon conversion into shares
of common stock on August 14, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Change in estimated fair value of Related Party Convertible Notes Payable* — The change in the estimated fair value of the Related Party Convertible Notes Payable of $1,192,507
for the three months ended September 30, 2024 represents the difference between the estimated fair value at June 30, 2024 and the estimated
fair value upon conversion into shares of common stock on August 14, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Interest expense* — Interest expense
for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 represents interest accrued on amounts owed under a license agreement with UIC,
whereby UIC agreed to defer amounts payable to UIC under a former sublicense agreement in the amount of $404,991 in exchange for an interest-bearing
license payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Interest income* — Interest income
for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents based on the then prevailing
market rates. The decrease in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period is
primarily due to a lower average cash balance on hand compared to the same prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Interest income* — Interest income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents based on the then prevailing
market rates. The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same prior year period is primarily
due to a higher average cash balance on hand compared to the same prior year period.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses in the foreseeable future as we advance the clinical development of elraglusib and any future product candidates.

On June 27, 2025, the Company closed the June 2025 Private Placement and received aggregate net proceeds of $4,592,462 in exchange for 666,497 shares of common stock (see Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

On September 11, 2025, the Company closed the September 2025 Public Offering and received net proceeds of $15,573,966 in exchange for the issuance of 2,464,286 shares of common stock to the Underwriter, including shares issued under the over-allotment option (see Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $3,800,465 in exchange for 539,967 shares of common stock sold under the Committed Equity Facility (see Note 7 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16,924,763 and working capital of $11,071,338. We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue our development of, seek regulatory approval for, and potentially commercialize elraglusib and potentially seek to discover and develop and/or license or acquire additional product candidates, conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials and preclinical studies, continue our research and development activities, utilize third parties to manufacture elraglusib, hire additional personnel, expand and protect our intellectual property, and incur additional costs associated with being a public company. Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this Quarterly Report will not satisfy the Company's operational and capital requirements beyond the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 without raising additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient proceeds in the future under the Committed Equity Facility or any additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock for a period of seventy-five (75) days from the closing date of the September 2025 Public Offering.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through equity offerings, debt financings, or other capital sources, including current or potential future collaborations, licenses, and other similar arrangements. As we seek additional financing in the near future, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by business conditions, global economic conditions, disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide, and diminished liquidity and credit availability. To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, stockholders' ownership interest in our common stock will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions, engaging in acquisition, merger or collaboration transactions, selling or licensing our assets, making capital expenditures, redeeming our stock, making certain investments or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations or license agreements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity, debt, or other financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves, or even cease operations.

Based on the above matters, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

***Material Cash Requirements for Known Contractual and Other Obligations***

*Research and Development Costs*

We are continuing to invest in our elraglusib clinical trials and have entered into contractual obligations with each clinical trial site. Each contract shall continue until the completion of the trial at that site. Our clinical trial costs are dependent on, among other things, the size, number and length of our clinical trials.

*Other Capital Requirements and Additional Royalty Obligations.*

We enter into agreements in the normal course of business with various vendors, which are generally cancellable upon notice. Payments due upon cancellation typically consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations of service providers, up to the date of cancellation.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025.

**Emerging Growth Company Status and Smaller Reporting Company Status**

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as ours to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and may do so until such time that we either (i) irrevocably elect to opt out of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for private companies. We will continue to remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of the following: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of the IPO; (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenue is equal to or more than $1.235 billion; (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

**Item 3.** **Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

 

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information called for by this item.

**Item 4.** **Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures** 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2025, the end of the period to which this quarterly report relates, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**RISK FACTORS**

*Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you decide to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider all the information within this Quarterly Report, including the information contained in Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," as well as in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report. In addition, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025 ("Annual Report"), our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as in our other public filings with the SEC. If any of the identified risks are realized, our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition, other risks of which we are currently unaware, or which we do not currently view as material, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.*

 

*Other than as set forth in Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report or our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025 and August 14, 2025, respectively.*

 

**Item 2.** **Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 283,538 shares of our common stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement dated March 27, 2025 for the net proceeds of $1,663,236. All shares of common stock issued and sold to B. Riley Principal Capital II were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions not involving a public offering.

**Item 5.** **Other Information**

**Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans**

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Exhibit 31.1

**Certification** 

I, Daniel Schmitt, President and Chief Executive Officer of the registrant, certify that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 of Actuate Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) disclosed in this report any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent quarter (the Company's fourth quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting; and
