**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "would" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, among other things, statements about:

● our plans and expectations regarding our pursuit of strategic options;

● our ability to obtain additional financing;

● our ability to monetize our assets;

● our ability to continue as a going concern;

● our ability to regain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards;

● our ability to retain our remaining employees, consultants, advisors;

● our ability to resume research and development activities for our MSC-S platform if we were to execute a strategic transaction or obtain significant additional funding, and our ability to develop and commercialize the Researgency agentic AI research platform;

● if we were to resume research and development activities, development efforts for KPI-012 and KPI-014 for potential ocular diseases;

● our ability to identify additional products, product candidates or technologies with significant commercial potential that are consistent with our commercial objectives;

● our plans and goals with respect to the AI platform business and the deployment of the Researgency agentic AI research platform, including the development of commercial arrangements with customers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries;

● if we were to resume research and development activities, the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our product candidates and our estimates regarding the market opportunity for our product candidates, if approved;

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

● our competitive position;

● developments relating to our competitors and our industry;

● our business and business relationships; and

● the potential impact of global economic and geopolitical developments on our business, operations, strategy and goals.

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. These statements may be found under the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 15, 2026) entitled "Risk Factors" as well as in our other public filings. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by us and third parties as well as our estimates of potential market opportunities. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Our estimates of the potential market opportunity for the Researgency agentic AI research platform and KPI-012 include several key assumptions based on our industry knowledge, industry publications, third-party research and other surveys, which may be based on a small sample size and may fail to accurately reflect market opportunities. While we believe that our internal assumptions are reasonable, no independent source has verified such assumptions.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)** 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

**Nature of Business**— KALA BIO, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on July 7, 2009, and is a biopharmaceutical company in transition, evaluating the development of a dedicated, on-premises artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform for the biotechnology industry. Our current focus is leveraging our mesenchymal stem cell secretome platform (the "MSC-S platform") to test development of a scalable AI platform-as-a-service business to deploy secure, purpose-built AI systems directly within biotechnology and pharmaceutical client environments. We have historically been engaged in the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare and severe diseases of the front and back of the eye. Our lead product candidate was KPI-012 ("KPI-012"), an MSC-S, which we acquired from Combangio on November 15, 2021. KPI-012 was in clinical development for the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects ("PCED"), a rare disease of impaired corneal healing. Based on the results of a Phase 1b clinical safety and efficacy trial of KPI-012 in patients with PCED, we submitted an investigational new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), which was accepted in December 2022. In February 2023, we dosed our first patient in the United States in our CHASE trial (the "CHASE trial"). By September 2025, the CHASE trial did not meet its primary endpoints, and we determined to discontinue our development of KPI-012 and the MSC-S platform. We have since expanded upon our business to evaluate strategic alternatives for our legacy MSC-S assets and capitalize on the substantial intellectual property (IP), proprietary biological datasets, and research experience generated during the clinical trials by starting development of an AI platform.

We are in the process of evaluating and transitioning from historical biologics research and development (R&D) activities to an "AI platform-as-a-service" model intended to provide dedicated, on-premises artificial intelligence infrastructure solutions to biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers. Following the discontinuation of the CHASE Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 in September 2025 and the subsequent resolution of our obligations to Oxford Finance, our current operating focus is (i) the monetization or out-licensing of remaining biologics-related assets and (ii) development and commercialization planning for our licensed Researgency agentic AI platform (the "Researgency Platform"). This transition is expected to impact our operating expenses, capital requirements, and sources and uses of cash as described further below.

We have refocused our business on two complementary strategic priorities. First, we are preserving and seeking to maximize the value of our MSC-S biologics asset portfolio, including the KPI-012 and KPI-014 product candidates and related intellectual property, through potential licensing, collaboration, and other strategic arrangements with third parties, as well as through evaluation of opportunities to resume preclinical development activities subject to the availability of additional capital. Second, we are building our Researgency business through our exclusive license for the Researgency Platform, which we intend to deploy as a dedicated, on-premises AI infrastructure solution for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We believe this dual-track strategy preserves and creates optionality with respect to our biologics assets while simultaneously pursuing a potential business opportunity in the rapidly growing AI platform market for the biotechnology industry.

**Reverse Stock Split –** On May 8, 2026, we effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of our Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), pursuant to which each (50) shares of Common Stock were converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares are entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares. All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

**Recent Equity Financings**

On January 8, 2026, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Wainwright") providing for the sale and issuance by the Company of shares of its

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

**KALA BIO, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)** 

common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") from time to time, through or to Wainwright as the Company's sales agent or principal in an "at the market offering" program and as set forth in the ATM Agreement (the "ATM Program").

On January 30, 2026, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "January 2026 Purchase Agreement"), we issued and sold to certain investors (the "Series AAA Investors") in a closing (the "Series AAA Closing") of a private placement (the "Series AAA Private Placement"), an aggregate of 2,100,000 shares of the Company's Series AAA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series AAA Preferred Stock") at a price per share of Series AAA Preferred Stock equal to $2.00, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,200. The Series AAA Closing occurred on January 30, 2026. The terms of the Series AAA Preferred Stock are substantially similar to the terms of the Series AA Preferred Stock. Each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock was convertible into 8.4 shares of common stock for an aggregate total of 17,640,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AAA Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2026, all of the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of Common Stock.

**Use of Estimates**— The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense, and related disclosures. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to, but are not limited to, the present value of lease liabilities and the corresponding right-of-use assets, the fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation, accrued expenses, contingent consideration, grant income and deferred grant income, the valuation of embedded derivatives and the recoverability of the Company's net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

**Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders**—The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per share as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the convertible preferred stock have no contractual obligation to share in losses. For all periods presented, the two-class method was not applicable.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential shares of common stock, including the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, the issuance of unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.

The weighted average number of common shares included in the computation of diluted net loss gives effect to all potentially dilutive common equivalent shares, including outstanding stock options, warrants, unvested RSUs and PSUs and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders if their effect is antidilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders since dilutive common

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)** 

shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. (See Note 12, "Loss Per Share").

**Unaudited Interim Financial Information**—The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, statement of stockholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report").

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KALA BIO, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kala Pharmaceuticals Security Corporation and Combangio, Inc. ("Combangio") All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements* ("ASU 2025-11"), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,* establishes a fair value hierarchy for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and its own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

● Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

**The Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted primarily of cash equivalents and short-term investment loan. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are reported at their respective fair values on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.**

4. LICENSE AGREEMENT

**On March 3, 2026 (the "Effective Date"), the Company and Younet entered into the Younet Agreement pursuant to which the Company obtained the worldwide Exclusive License of Younet's proprietary, custom biomedical artificial intelligence research platform (the "Researgency Platform"), together with associated trademarks and intellectual property. The term of the Agreement is for 12 months following the Effective Date (the "Initial Term"), with the option by the Company to renew the agreement for successive 12 months terms (each, a "Renewal Term"), in each case by providing notice to Younet pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the "Extension Notice"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Younet shall also provide to the Company certain deliverables and services related to the Researgency Platform, with certain additional deliverables to be provided by Younet in the event of a Renewal Term, in each case with all operating costs relating to the Researgency Platform to be paid by the Company.**

 **In consideration of the services to be performed by Younet under the Younet Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to Younet for the Initial Term a cash fee of up to $530 consisting of (i) $80 in cash, which was paid by the Company on the Effective Date, and (ii) in the event the Company delivers to Younet a written notice electing to engage Younet for the continued development of Researgency, $450 in cash, payable in 9 monthly installments of $50, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Such notice may be provided at any time on or after the first business day of the third month following the Effective Date and such continued development may be terminated upon 30 days notice by the Company. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to Younet 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), within 10 business days of the Effective Date. In addition, each time the Younet Agreement is extended for a Renewal Term, the Company shall (i) pay to Younet $250 in cash and (ii) issue to Younet 100,000 shares of Common Stock within 10 business days of the Extension Notice.

**5. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT** 

**On February 9, 2026, the Company made a loan (the "Loan") in the principal amount of $7,000 evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Note") to Minglemint Solutions LLC ("Minglemint" or "Borrower") in connection with the Company's determination that a portion of its cash on hand was in excess of its near-term working capital requirements and operational needs. In order to optimize the return on such excess cash, rather than holding the full balance in a bank deposit account, which offered a materially lower yield, the Company elected to deploy that portion into the Loan, which bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Company believes that the interest rate obtained under the Loan, together with the security interest granted to the Company over all fixtures and personal property of the Borrower, provides a more favorable risk-adjusted return on idle cash than the return available through conventional bank deposit arrangements, while preserving the Company's ability to meet its anticipated working capital and operational obligations.** 

**The Note includes customary event of default provisions, including, but not limited to, for a breach of any representations and warranties or covenants, any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the Borrower, and the failure of the Borrower to pay, upon 15 days' written notice of default, any principal amount of the Loan or interest due. The Note provides for a default interest rate of 13.0%. As described in the Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the Company may, among other remedies, declare the outstanding balance of the Note including all accrued interest thereon immediately due and payable.** 

**On May 11, 2026, the Company and the Borrower entered into a Note Amending Agreement (the "Loan Amendment") which added a provision that the Company has the right at any time and from time to time, on no less than 45 days' notice, to demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Note by delivering written notice to the Borrower (a "Call Notice"). The Borrower agrees to repay the amount in the Call Notice, and any amount not timely repaid will accrue interest at the default interest rate of 13.0%.**

The Note is secured by a continuing first priority lien and security interest in all fixtures and personal property of the Borrower (the "Collateral"), pursuant to the security agreement with the Borrower dated February 9, 2026 (the "Security Agreement"). The Collateral includes, but is not limited to, all accounts, goods, documents, instruments, securities and investment properties, money, accounts and rights to payment of the Borrower, and any proceeds, records and obligations relating to the foregoing, as more fully detailed in the Security Agreement.

**6. GRANT INCOME**

*CIRM Award*

On August 2, 2023, Combangio, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an award agreement with CIRM for a $15,000 grant (as amended from time to time, the "CIRM Award") to support Combangio's KPI-012 program for the treatment of PCED. The CIRM Award includes funding for the CHASE Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 for PCED, as well as product and process characterization and analytical development for the program. On September 29, 2025, the Company announced that the CHASE trial of KPI-012 for the treatment of PCED did not meet the primary endpoint of complete healing of PCED as measured by corneal fluorescein staining. The CHASE trial also failed to achieve statistical significance for key secondary efficacy endpoints and did not show any meaningful difference between either KPI-012 treatment arm and the placebo arm. Based on the CHASE trial results, we determined to cease development of KPI-012 and our MSC-S platform.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $0 and $2,350 of grant income, respectively, related to the CIRM Award on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred grant income of $0 on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On June 22, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which amended and restated the Company's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2017 Plan"), to (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 25,000 shares; (ii) limit the number of incentive stock options that can be granted under the plan to 154,775 shares of Common Stock; (iii) add an annual limit on non-employee director compensation, including cash and the value of equity awards, of $750,000 for incumbent directors and $1,000,000 in a director's first year of service; and (iv) extend the term of the plan (including the duration of the evergreen) to 10 years from June 22, 2023, the date that stockholders approved the plan. In addition, the 2017 Plan provides for an annual increase to be added on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and continuing for each fiscal year until, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2033, equal to the lower of (i) 4% of the sum of (I) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock of the Company on such date (without giving effect to any restrictions or limitations on conversion) and (ii) an amount determined by the Company's board of directors.

As of March 31, 2026, there were 26,675 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2017 Plan.

No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted options for the purchase of 9,508 shares of Common Stock and 1,828 RSUs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, employees of the Company purchased an aggregate of 0 and 46 shares of Common Stock, respectively, under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

As of March 31, 2026, a total of 417 RSUs were outstanding.

Stock-based compensation expense was classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Management has considered the Company's history of cumulative net losses incurred since inception and its generation of limited revenue from product sales since inception and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period.

Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on many factors, including the Company's ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership, including a sale of the Company, or significant changes in ownership due to sales of equity, may have limited, or may limit in the future, the amount of net operating loss carryforwards, which could be used annually to offset future taxable income. The Company completed an analysis as of December 31, 2022 and determined that an additional ownership change occurred during December 2022 as a result of the issuance of its Series E Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock, further limiting the net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits due to the expiration of those attributes. As a result, the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation of $222. The Company has not completed an analysis as of December 31, 2024 but does not expect any change would further limit the net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company files its corporate income tax returns in the United States and various states. All tax years since the date of incorporation remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions (state and federal) to which the Company is subject, as carryforward attributes generated in years past may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or other authorities if they have or will be used in a future period. The Company is not currently under examination by the IRS or any other jurisdictions for any tax year.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense, of which no interest or penalties were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

**Stanford License Agreement**— In October 2019, Combangio entered into a license agreement with The Board of Trustees of The Leland Stanford Junior University ("Stanford"), which was amended in February 2020 and subsequently transferred to the Company by operation of law upon our acquisition of Combangio in 2021 (the "Combangio Acquisition"). Pursuant to the license agreement with Stanford (the "Stanford Agreement"), the Company has a worldwide, exclusive, sublicensable license under certain patent rights ("licensed patents"), directed to methods to promote eye wound healing, to make, have made, use, import, offer to sell and sell products ("licensed products") that are covered by the licensed patents for use in all fields. Under the Stanford Agreement, the Company is required to pay Stanford annual license maintenance fees in the low-to-mid five figures which are creditable against earned royalties owed to Stanford for the same year, an aggregate of up to $1,075 for the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones, and an aggregate of up to $1,100 for the achievement of specified sales milestones. Stanford is also entitled to receive tiered royalties in a low single digit percentage range on net sales of licensed products that are covered by a valid claim of a licensed patent. Amounts paid to Stanford in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $0 and *de minimis,* respectively.

**Litigation**— The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

**Contingencies related to the Merger Agreement**— In connection with the Combangio Acquisition, the Company agreed to make additional payments based on the achievement of certain milestone events related to KPI-012. The Company recognized certain contingent consideration liabilities at fair value on the acquisition date, and revalues the remaining obligations each reporting period. The total potential maximum payout for the milestone payments, which have been recorded as liabilities at fair value, is $40,000 and the milestone payments are contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. Following the achievement of the dosing of the first patient in the Company's CHASE trial (the "First Dosing Milestone") in February 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $2,500 in cash and $2,354 in shares of the Company's Common Stock (representing an aggregate of 2,100 shares of the Company's common stock) to the former Combangio equity holders in March 2023. The Company paid the remaining amount due in connection with the First Dosing Milestone of $146 in cash in January 2024. Additionally, pursuant to the merger agreement for the Combangio Acquisition, the Company could trigger potential future sales-based milestone payments of up to $65,000 and cash royalty payment obligations in the mid-to-high single digits. Because the achievement of these sales-based milestones related to KPI-012 was not considered probable as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025, such contingencies have not been recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Amounts related to contingent milestone payments are not considered contractual obligations as they are contingent on the successful achievement of certain development, regulatory or commercial milestones.

**15. SEGMENT** 

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is made available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The CODM is the Company's interim Chief Executive Officer. The Company manages its operations as one operating and reportable segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company's current focus is the development and commercialization of a biotech AI Platform through its exclusive license. All of the Company's tangible assets are held in the United States.

The CODM uses net loss as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to analyze cash flows in assessing performance of the segment and deciding how to allocate resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

**16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

*Reverse Stock Split* 

Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its Common Stock, pursuant to which each fifty (50) shares of Common Stock were converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive fractional shares are entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares. All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

**Overview**

We are a biopharmaceutical company in transition, evaluating the development of a dedicated, on-premises artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform for the biotechnology industry. Our current focus is leveraging our mesenchymal stem cell secretome platform (the "MSC-S platform") to test development of a scalable AI platform-as-a-service business to deploy secure, purpose-built AI systems directly within biotechnology and pharmaceutical client environments. We have historically been engaged in the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare and severe diseases of the front and back of the eye. Our lead product candidate was KPI-012 ("KPI-012"), an MSC-S, which we acquired from Combangio on November 15, 2021. KPI-012 was in clinical development for the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects ("PCED"), a rare disease of impaired corneal healing. Based on the results of a Phase 1b clinical safety and efficacy trial of KPI-012 in patients with PCED, we submitted an investigational new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), which was accepted in December 2022. In February 2023, we dosed our first patient in the United States in our CHASE trial (the "CHASE trial"). By September 2025, the CHASE trial did not meet its primary endpoints, and we determined to discontinue our development of KPI-012 and the MSC-S platform. We have since expanded upon our business to evaluate strategic alternatives for our legacy MSC-S assets and capitalize on the substantial intellectual property (IP), proprietary biological datasets, and research experience generated during the clinical trials by starting development of an AI platform.

We are in the process of evaluating and transitioning from historical biologics research and development (R&D) activities to an "AI platform-as-a-service" model intended to provide dedicated, on-premises artificial intelligence infrastructure solutions to biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers. Following the discontinuation of the CHASE Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 in September 2025 and the subsequent resolution of our obligations to Oxford Finance, our current operating focus is (i) the monetization or out-licensing of remaining biologics-related assets and (ii) development and commercialization planning for our licensed Researgency agentic AI platform (the "Researgency Platform"). This transition is expected to impact our operating expenses, capital requirements, and sources and uses of cash as described further below.

We have refocused our business on two complementary strategic priorities. First, we are preserving and seeking to maximize the value of our MSC-S biologics asset portfolio, including the KPI-012 and KPI-014 product candidates and related intellectual property, through potential licensing, collaboration, and other strategic arrangements with third parties, as well as through evaluation of opportunities to resume preclinical development activities subject to the availability of additional capital. Second, we are building our Researgency business through our exclusive license for Researgency Platform, which we intend to deploy as a dedicated, on-premises AI infrastructure solution for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We believe this dual-track strategy preserves and creates optionality with respect to our biologics assets while simultaneously pursuing a potential business opportunity in the rapidly growing

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

AI platform market for the biotechnology industry.

Since inception, we have incurred significant losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations. Our net losses were $1.6 million and $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $696.5 million. We have historically financed our operations primarily through proceeds from the sale of our Commercial Business to Alcon, our initial public offering (the "IPO"), follow-on public Common Stock offerings and sales of our Common Stock under our sales agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Wainwright") in at-the-market offerings, private placements of Common Stock and/or preferred stock (including our most recent private placements resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million in January 2026).

**Financial Operations Overview**

**Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates**

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as critical because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

*General and administrative expenses*

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and travel expenses related to our executive, finance, human resources, legal, compliance, information technology and business development functions. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees for auditing, tax, information technology, consultants, legal services and allocated facility related costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $2.9 million. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was due to a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in employee-related costs and stock-based compensation, primarily a result of our decision to cease development of KPI-012 and our MSC-S platform, including costs related to restructuring and wind-down activities, partially offset by $0.1 million increased legal and professional services support in connection with those activities.

*Research and development expenses* 

Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with our research activities, including compensation and benefits for full time research and development employees, an allocation of facilities expenses, overhead expenses and certain outside expenses. Our research and development expenses generally include: employee related expenses, including salaries and stock based compensation; expenses incurred for the preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates and under agreements with contract research organizations, including costs of manufacturing product candidates prior to the determination that FDA approval of a drug candidate is probable and before the future economic benefit of the drug is expected to be realized; and facilities, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and supplies.

We expense research and development costs as they are incurred. We expense costs relating to the production of inventory for our product candidates, as research and development expenses within our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period incurred, unless we believe regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of the product candidate is probable and we expect the future economic benefit from sales of the drug to be realized. Research and development costs that are paid in advance of performance are capitalized as a prepaid expense until incurred. We track outsourced development costs by development program but do not allocate personnel costs, payments made under license agreements or other costs to specific product candidates or development programs. These costs are included in employee related costs and other research and development costs in the line items in the above table.

The following table summarizes the research and development expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended**  | **Three Months Ended**  | |
|  | **March 31,**  | **March 31,**  | |

| Other research and development costs |  | 316 | (316) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total research and development | $61 | $6055 | $(5994) |

---

Research and development expenses were less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $6.0 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in KPI-012 clinical development costs following our discontinuation of our MSC-S platform and the decrease in personnel and facilities expenses after workforce reductions.

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

*Loss on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration*

We recorded an obligation for such contingent consideration at fair value on the acquisition date. We then revalue our contingent consideration obligations each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations, other than changes due to issuance, are recognized as a gain or loss on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Loss on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0 and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to our decision to cease development of KPI-012 and our MSC-S platform.

*Interest income*

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Interest income was $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

*Interest expense*

Interest expense primarily consists of contractual coupon interest, amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs and accretion of the final payment fee recognized on our debt arrangements

We incurred interest expense of $0 and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was comprised of the contractual coupon interest expense, the amortization of the debt discount and the accretion of the final payment fee associated with Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2021, by and among us, Combangio, Inc. and Oxford Finance LLC, as lender and collateral agent (as amended, the "Loan Agreement"). During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $0 and $29.3 million, respectively, of indebtedness was outstanding under our Loan Agreement.

*Grant income*

Grant income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $0 and $2.4 million, respectively, related to an award agreement with the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine for a $15,000 grant (as amended from time to time, the "CIRM Award"). On September 29, 2025, we announced that the CHASE trial of KPI-012 for the treatment of PCED did not meet the primary endpoint of complete healing of PCED as measured by corneal fluorescein staining. The CHASE trial also failed to achieve statistical significance for key secondary efficacy endpoints and did not show any meaningful difference between either KPI-012 treatment arm and the placebo arm. Based on the CHASE trial results, we determined to cease development of KPI-012 and our MSC-S platform, and as such, we do not expect to receive grant income relating to the CIRM Award in the near future.

*Other income (expense), net*

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily related to gains associated with settlements*.*

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We only generated limited revenues from product sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS prior to the sale of our Commercial Business to Alcon in July 2022. We have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from the sale of our Commercial Business to Alcon in July 2022, our IPO, follow-on public common stock offerings and sales of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offerings, private placements of common stock and/or preferred stock, borrowings under credit facilities and Loan Agreement, and warrants.

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

Based on our current operating plan, including anticipated expenses related to our Researgency initiative and routine corporate costs, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will fund operations into the second quarter of 2027. We are evaluating additional financing alternatives, including potential sales under our ATM program (as defined below) and private placements, and pursuing asset monetization opportunities. If these actions are not successful or timely, we will need to further reduce or defer planned expenditures, which could materially affect our strategy. Our ability to raise additional capital may be constrained by market conditions, our The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") continued listing compliance efforts, and investor perceptions regarding our liquidity position and historical operating losses. Our efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq's market value of listed securities and minimum bid price requirements as discussed below, and any actions we may take to address compliance, including the reverse stock split effected on May 8, 2026, subsequent to March 31, 2026 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), could affect our access to and cost of capital. In addition, the timing and availability of sales under our ATM program depend on market conditions and trading windows. If we are unable to raise additional capital as contemplated, we may need to implement additional cost reductions or delay elements of our Researgency platform strategy.

*Nasdaq Deficiencies*

On November 10, 2025, we received a deficiency letter (the "MVLS Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that the listing of our Common Stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the "Minimum MVLS Requirement") for continued listing on Nasdaq, as the market value of our listed securities was less than $35 million for the previous 30 consecutive business days.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we were provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until May 11, 2026 (the "MVLS Compliance Date"), to regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement.

On April 17, 2026, we received a letter from the Staff that the market value of our listed securities closed at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Accordingly, we have regained compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement and this matter is now closed.

In addition, on January 20, 2026, we received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business days between December 3, 2025, to January 16, 2026, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"). The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 20, 2026 (the "Minimum Bid Price Compliance Period"), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On May 8, 2026, we effected the Reverse Stock Split to seek to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

*ATM Facility* 

On January 8, 2026, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with Wainwright providing for the sale and issuance of our Common Stock from time to time, through or to Wainwright as the Company's sales agent or principal in an "at the market offering" program and as set forth in the ATM Agreement (the "ATM program").

We filed a prospectus supplement, dated January 8, 2026, including an accompanying base prospectus, dated May 11, 2023, contained therein (the "ATM Prospectus Supplement"), which together form a part of the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-270263), initially filed with the SEC on March 3, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on May 11, 2023 in connection with the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. The aggregate market value of the shares of Common Stock eligible for sale under the prospectus supplement is currently $15.0 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, Wainwright agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations, and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, to sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time. Under the ATM Agreement, the Company may designate the parameters

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

for the sale of shares of Common Stock, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitations on the number of shares that may be sold on any trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, Wainwright may sell the shares by methods deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation, sales made directly on Nasdaq or on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, with the Company's prior written approval, Wainwright may also sell shares in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions. The gross sales price of the shares of Common Stock sold by Wainwright under the ATM Agreement as sales agent is the market price for the shares of Common Stock on Nasdaq at the time of sale.

*Private Placements* 

**On November 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "November 2025 Purchase Agreement"), with a certain investor (the "Series AA Investor"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement, shares of the Company's Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series AA Preferred Stock") and the Series AAA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series AAA Preferred Stock") of the Company in two closings for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6.0 million.**

**On December 11, 2025, the Series AA Investor transferred his rights and obligations under the November 2025 Purchase Agreement solely with respect to the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock and the director nomination rights to AK Holdings Group Inc., a Panamanian company ("AK Holdings"). On January 29, 2026, pursuant to the terms of a certain Rights Purchase Agreement, by and among AK Holdings and the Series AAA Investors, AK Holdings sold its rights to purchase the Series AAA Preferred Stock (but not its director nomination rights under the November 2025 Purchase Agreement) to the Series AAA Investors.** 

On January 30, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "January 2026 Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Series AAA Investors in a private placement (the "January 2026 Private Placement"), an aggregate of 2,100,000 shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to $2.00, for aggregate gross proceeds of $4.2 million. The closing of the January 2026 Private Placement occurred on January 30, 2026. Each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock was convertible into 8.4 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate total of 17,640,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AAA Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2026, all of the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of Common Stock and there are no Series AAA Preferred Shares outstanding.

*Loan and Security Agreement*

On February 9, 2026, we made a loan (the "Loan") in the principal amount of $7.0 million evidenced by a secured promissory note (the "Note") to Minglemint Solutions LLC ("Borrower") in connection with our determination that a portion of our cash on hand was in excess of our near-term working capital requirements and operational needs. In order to optimize the return on such excess cash, rather than holding the full balance in a bank deposit account, which offered a materially lower yield, we elected to deploy that portion into the Loan, which bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and is due and payable on February 9, 2027.

The Note includes customary event of default provisions, including, but not limited to, for a breach of any representations and warranties or covenants, any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the Borrower, and the failure of the Borrower to pay, upon 15 days' written notice of default, any principal amount of the Loan or interest due. The Note provides for a default interest rate of 13.0%.

On May 11, 2026, the Company and the Borrower entered into a Note Amending Agreement (the "Loan Amendment") which added a provision that the Company has the right at any time and from time to time, on no less than 45 days' notice to demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Note by delivering written notice to the Borrower (a "Call Notice"). The Borrower agrees to repay the amount in the Call Notice, and any amount not timely

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

repaid will accrue interest at the default interest rate of 13.0%.Additionally, the Note is secured by a continuing first priority lien and security interest in all fixtures and personal property of the Borrower (the "Collateral"), pursuant to the security agreement with the Borrower dated February 9, 2026 (the "Security Agreement"). The Collateral includes, but is not limited to, all accounts, goods, documents, instruments, securities and investment properties, money, accounts and rights to payment of the Borrower, and any proceeds, records and obligations relating to the foregoing, as more fully detailed in the Security Agreement.

*Platform Development and Exclusive License Agreement*

On March 3, 2026, we entered into a Platform Development and Exclusive License Agreement (the "Younet License Agreement") pursuant to which we obtained a worldwide exclusive license of Younet's Researgency Platform, together with associated trademarks and intellectual property. The term of the Younet License Agreement is for 12 months following the Effective Date (the "Initial Term"), with the option to renew the agreement for successive 12 months terms (each, a "Renewal Term"), in each case by providing notice to Younet pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the "Extension Notice"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Younet agreed to provide us certain deliverables and services related to the Researgency Platform, with certain additional deliverables to be provided by Younet in the event of a Renewal Term, in each case with all operating costs relating to the Researgency Platform to be paid by us.

In consideration of the services to be performed by Younet under the Agreement, we agreed to pay to Younet for the Initial Term a cash fee of up to $530,000 consisting of (i) $80,000 in cash, which was paid by the Company on the Effective Date, and (ii) in the event the Company delivers to Younet a written notice electing to engage Younet for the continued development of Researgency, $450,000 in cash, payable in 9 monthly installments of $50,000, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Such notice may be provided at any time on or after the first business day of the third month following the Effective Date and such continued development may be terminated upon 30 days notice by us. In addition, we issued to Younet 100,000 shares of our Common Stock. In addition, each time the Agreement is extended for a Renewal Term, the Company shall (i) pay to Younet $250,000 in cash and (ii) issue to Younet 100,000 shares of Common Stock within 10 business days of the Extension Notice. Any shares of Common Stock issuable to Younet pursuant to the Agreement shall herein be referred to as the "Younet Shares." Except for certain block trades, during the Term (as defined in the Agreement) and for the twelve months thereafter, Younet shall not sell any Younet Shares on any Trading Day (as defined in the Agreement) in an amount that exceeds 3% of the Daily Trading Volume (as defined in the Agreement) for such Trading Day.

In addition, Younet has granted us an irrevocable option, exercisable at any time during the Initial Term or any Renewal Terms, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Younet, or, at our election, substantially all of the assets of Younet, for a total purchase price of $55.0 million, subject to the terms of the Agreement.

If we do not deliver an Extension Notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, the Agreement shall expire automatically at the end of the applicable term. In addition, the Agreement may be terminated by either party (i) for uncured material breach or (ii) due to the insolvency of the other party. Upon termination or expiration, (a) the Exclusive License will terminated, (b) all licenses granted to Younet with respect to KALA Data (as defined in the Agreement) will immediately terminate, (c) all licenses granted to us with respect to Younet Background IP (as defined in the Agreement) will survive in accordance with their terms, and (d) all Work Product (as defined in the Agreement) completed as of the date of termination shall be delivered to and owned by the Company.

*Other Contractual Obligations*

Our other material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations as of March 31, 2026 primarily related to our license agreement with Stanford University and our operating lease. For information related to our future commitments relating to our license agreement, see Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies", of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Cash Flows***

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had $1.8 million and $7.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended**  | **Three Months Ended**  | |
|  | **March 31,**  | **March 31,**  | |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | <br>**Change** |

| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $(5766) | $(8959) | $3193 |

---

*Operating Activities* 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $2.9 million, compared to $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $6.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in net loss adjusted for non-cash charges of $1.4 million.

*Investing Activities*

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was related to the short-term investment loan. There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

*Financing Activities*

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.1 million, primarily due to the net proceeds from the sale of 2,100,000 shares of the Series AAA Preferred Stock at $2.00 per share.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.1 million, primarily due to payment of issuance costs related to the sale of common stock and shares of our Series I Preferred Stock in our December 2024 private placement.

[**Table of Contents**](#Toc)

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

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents. Due to the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents, and the fixed income nature of these investments, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash equivalents.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.**

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, 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 March 31, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that insufficient personnel following the Company's restructuring has resulted in key controls over the financial reporting process not being fully implemented or operating effectively to support financial reporting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. This material weakness remained un-remediated as of March 31, 2026. We have initiated remediation activities and will continue to evaluate and enhance our controls.

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

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for steps initiated to remediate the material weakness referenced above.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

**Item 1A. RISK FACTORS**

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

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

**Sales of Unregistered Securities** 

We did not sell any shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock or warrants to purchase shares of our stock, or grant any stock options, restricted stock units or restricted stock awards, during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and that have not otherwise been described in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 5. Other Information.** 

**Entry into Note Amendment** 

As previously reported, on February 9, 2026, the Company made the Loan in the principal amount of $7.0 million evidenced by the Note to Minglemint in connection with the Company's determination that a portion of its cash on hand was in excess of its near-term working capital requirements and operational needs. The Loan bears interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The Note includes customary event of default provisions, including, but not limited to, for a breach of any representations and warranties or covenants, any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the Borrower, and the failure of the Borrower to pay, upon 15 days' written notice of default, any principal amount of the Loan or interest due. The Note provides for a default interest rate of 13.0%. As described in the Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the Company may, among other remedies, declare the outstanding balance of the Note including all accrued interest thereon immediately due and payable.

On May 11, 2026, the Company and the Borrower entered into the Loan Amendment which added a provision that the Company has the right at any time and from time to time, on no less than 45 days' notice, to demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Note by delivering a Call Notice. The Borrower agrees to repay the amount in the Call Notice, and any amount not timely repaid will accrue interest at the default interest rate of 13.0%.

**Director and Officer Trading Arrangements**

None of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) during the quarterly period covered by this report.

## Exhibit 10.6

**Exhibit 10.6**

**NOTE AMENDING AGREEMENT**

**THIS NOTE AMENDING AGREEMENT** (this "**Note Amending Agreement**") is dated as of May 11, 2026, by and between Minglemint Solutions LLC (the "**Borrower**"), and Kala Bio, Inc. or their assigns (the "**Noteholder**" and together with the Borrower, the "**Parties**").

**WHEREAS**, the Borrower is indebted to the Noteholder pursuant to a secured promissory note of the Borrower in the principal amount of US$7,000,000.00, dated February 9, 2026 (the "**Note**");

**AND WHEREAS**, all capitalized terms used in this Note Amending Agreement which are not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Note;

**AND WHEREAS**, the Parties have agreed to amend the terms of the Note as detailed herein;

**NOW, THEREFORE**, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Article II of the Note is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 2.2 immediately after Section 2.01:

"**Section 2.02** **Noteholder's Right to Call the Loan**. Notwithstanding Section 2.01 or any other provision of the Note, the Noteholder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to demand repayment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts owing under the Note in respect of the portion so called, by delivering written notice to the Borrower (a "**Call Notice**"). The Borrower shall repay the amount specified in the Call Notice within forty-five (45) days of the date of such Call Notice (the "**Call Payment Date**"). Any amount not repaid by the Call Payment Date shall bear interest at the Default Rate from and after the Call Payment Date until paid in full. For greater certainty, the Noteholder's right to call the Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02 is in addition to, and shall not limit or prejudice, any other rights or remedies of the Noteholder under the Note or at law, including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Note shall remain unamended and in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. It is agreed and understood that this Note Amending Agreement may be executed by way of facsimile transmission and, further, may be executed in any number of counterparts, and all such counterparts shall, for all purposes, constitute one agreement binding on the Parties hereto, provided each Party has executed at least one counterpart, and shall be deemed to be an original notwithstanding that all Parties are not signatory to the same counterpart.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. This Note Amending Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law, as set out in Section 10.03 of the Note.

**[SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]**

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Parties have executed this Note Amending Agreement as of the date first above written.

**CERTIFICATIONS** 

I, Avi Minkowitz, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of KALA BIO, Inc.;

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;
