Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly under the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors Summary” sections.

Overview

Revelation is a clinical-stage life science company that is focused on rebalancing inflammation to optimize health using its proprietary formulation Gemini. We are developing a pipeline of potential high-value products based on Gemini. Gemini is our proprietary formulation of PHAD an established TLR4 agonist that can stimulate the human body’s innate immune response to prevent and treat disease. Our current Gemini based programs consist of: GEM-AKI, which is being developed as a potential therapy for the prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury; and GEM-CKD, which is being developed as a potential therapy for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our Company, business planning, raising capital, and research and development of our Product Candidates.

We have funded our operations since our inception to December 31, 2025 through the issuance and sale of our capital stock, from which we have raised net proceeds of $69.2 million. Our current cash and cash equivalents balance will not be sufficient to complete all necessary product development or future commercialization efforts. We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents balance, which includes approximately $10.7 million as of December 31, 2025, combined with approximately $6.7 million in net proceeds received in January 2026 in connection with a warrant inducement transaction, will not be sufficient to sustain operations within one-year after the date that our audited financial statements for December 31, 2025 were issued, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We plan to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain funding we could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business operations.

We have incurred recurring losses since our inception, including a net loss of $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 we had an accumulated deficit of $49.4 million. We expect to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future if and as we:

continue the research and development of our product candidates;

initiate clinical studies for, or preclinical development of, our product candidates;

further develop and refine the manufacturing processes of our product candidates;

change or add manufacturers or suppliers of product candidate materials;

seek regulatory and marketing authorizations for any of our product candidates that successfully complete development;

acquire or license other product candidates, technologies or biological materials;

make milestone, royalty or other payments under future license agreements;

obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio;

seek to attract and retain new and existing skilled personnel;

create additional infrastructure to support our operations as a public company and incur increased legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses; and

experience delays or encounter issues with any of the above.

68

Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical studies and our expenditures on other research and development activities.

We have never generated revenue and do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for our Product Candidates or other product candidates, which we expect will not be for at least several years, if ever. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue from sales of Product Candidates or other product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us 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.

Recent Developments

2026 Reverse Stock Split

On January 28, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock, which had been approved at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders on June 23, 2025. All share numbers included herein have been adjusted to reflect this reverse split.

Class I Warrant Inducement

On January 23, 2026, the Company entered into warrant inducement offer letters with two holders of 2,136,251 Class I Common Stock Warrants, exercisable for 2,136,251 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $8.80 per share of common stock. Pursuant to the warrant inducement offer letters, the holders agreed to the immediate cash exercise of their 2,136,251 Class I Common Stock Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,136,251 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.44 per share, and the Company’s agreement to issue 4,272,500 Class J Common Stock Warrants exercisable for a total of up to 4,272,500 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $3.44. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.7 million from the warrant exercises.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of our product candidates. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of external costs related to clinical development, costs related to contract research organizations, costs related to consultants, costs related to acquiring and manufacturing clinical study materials, costs related to contract manufacturing organizations and other vendors, costs related to the preparation of regulatory submissions, costs related to laboratory supplies and services, and personnel costs. Personnel and related costs consist of salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel involved in research and development efforts.

We expense all research and development expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. We accrue for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of specific activities and the invoices received from our external service providers. We adjust our accrual as actual costs become known.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of Product Candidates and continue to invest in research and development activities. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research and product development to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming, and the successful development of Product Candidates and any future product candidates is highly uncertain. To the extent that our product candidates continue to advance into larger and later stage clinical studies, our expenses will increase substantially and may become more variable.

The actual probability of success for Product Candidates or any future product candidate may be affected by a variety of factors, including the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, investment in our clinical programs, manufacturing capability, regulatory and staffing developments at the FDA and competition with other products. As a result, we are unable to determine the timing of initiation, duration and completion costs of our research and development efforts or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of Product Candidates or any future product candidate.

69

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, expenses for outside professional services, including financial advisory, legal, human resource, audit and accounting services and consulting costs. Personnel and related costs consist of salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel involved in executive, finance and other administrative functions. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we increase the size of our administrative function to support the growth of our business and support our continued research and development activities. We also anticipate increased expenses as we continue to operate as a public company, including increased expenses related to financial advisory services, audit, legal, regulatory, investor relations costs, director and officer insurance premiums associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net for 2025 primarily consists of the interest income from our cash balances in savings accounts, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability. During 2024, other income (expense), net also included the LifeSci Capital LLC judgment expense and reimbursement of legal costs, clinical trial related settlement expenses with A-IR Clinical Research Ltd, and expenses in connection with the deferred underwriting commissions.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the periods presented:

Year EndedDecember 31,

Operating expenses:

Research and Development Expenses

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the periods presented:

Year EndedDecember 31,

Research and development expenses increased by $0.5 million, from $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases of $0.5 million in clinical study expenses related to GEM-AKI and GEM-CKD and $0.4 million of personnel expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in manufacturing expenses.

70

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the periods presented:

Year EndedDecember 31,

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, from $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.5 million in legal and professional fees and an increase of $0.3 million in personnel expenses, offset by a $0.1 million decrease in other general and administrative expenses.

Other Income (expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, related primarily to interest income on our cash balances in savings accounts and foreign currency transactions gains and losses. Other income (expense), net was expense of approximately $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily related to the LifeSci Capital LLC judgment expense and reimbursement of legal costs, clinical trial related settlement expenses with A-IR Clinical Research Ltd., and expenses in connection with the deferred underwriting commissions, offset by interest income from our cash balances in savings accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception to December 31, 2025, we have funded our operations from the issuance and sale of our common stock, preferred stock and warrants, from which we have raised net proceeds of $69.2 million, of which $12.5 million was received during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had available cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $49.4 million.

Our use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures related to the Product Candidates or other products candidates. We plan to increase our research and development expenses substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue the clinical development of our current and future product candidates. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of product development, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval, and commercialize our current product candidate or any future product candidates. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict when, if ever, we will generate revenue from product sales or any future license agreements which we may enter into or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast the timing and amounts of milestone, royalty and other revenue from licensing activities, which future product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

We expect to continue to generate substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our research and development activities. We will continue to fund our operations primarily through utilization of our current financial resources and through additional raises of capital.

71

To the extent that we raise additional capital through partnerships or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, future revenue streams or research programs or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our then-existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or suspend one or more of our clinical studies or preclinical studies, research and development programs or commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

Going Concern

We have incurred recurring losses since our inception, including a net loss of $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 we had an accumulated deficit of $49.4 million, a stockholders’ equity of $8.9 million and available cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future as we continue to complete all necessary product development or future commercialization efforts. We have never generated revenue and do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for the Product Candidates or other product candidates, which we expect will not be for at least several years, if ever. We do not anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents balance, which includes $10.7 million as of December 31, 2025, combined with approximately $6.7 million in net proceeds received subsequent to December 31, 2025 in connection with a warrant inducement transaction, will be sufficient to sustain operations within one-year after the date that our audited financial statements for December 31, 2025 were issued, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

To continue as a going concern, we will need, among other things, to raise additional capital resources. We plan to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain funding we could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business operations.

The audited consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2025, have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability for us to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Year EndedDecember 31,

Net cash used in investing activities — (19,171 )

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 4,201,313 $ (5,492,683 )

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $8.3 million, which consisted of a net loss of $8.9 million offset primarily by $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expense.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $18.3 million, which consisted of a net loss of $15.0 million and a change in our net operating assets and liabilities of $3.4 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025, there was there was no cash used in investing activities.

72

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities consisted of purchases of lab equipment.

73

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.5 million, and was primarily due to net proceeds of $3.4 million received in connection with the May 2025 Public Offering and $8.7 million in net proceeds received in connection with the Class H Warrant Inducement in September 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.8 million, primarily from net proceeds of $5.4 million received in connection with the February 2024 Public Offering, $0.2 million received from exercises of the Class D Common Stock Warrants, net proceeds of $3.5 million received in connection with the Class D Warrant Inducement, and net proceeds of $3.7 million received in connection with the Class E Warrant Inducement.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025 and the effects such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

Less than 1 year 1 to 3years 3 to 5 years More than 5 years Total

We have entered into an operating lease for laboratory and office space in San Diego, California. The table above includes future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable lease arrangement.

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third party service providers and vendors. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice and, therefore, are cancellable contracts and not considered contractual obligations and commitments. We believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and cash on hand and have an original maturity date of 90 days or less. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which is primarily in the United States, England and Australia. We make payments to vendors for research and development services with payments denominated in foreign currencies including Australian Dollars and British Pounds. We are subject to foreign currency transaction gains or losses on our payments denominated in foreign currencies. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material and we have not had a formal hedging program with respect to foreign currency; however, we may consider doing so in the future. A 10% increase or decrease in currency exchange rates would not have a material effect on our financial results.

74

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 have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using industry experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the accounting policies discussed below are most critical to understanding and evaluating our historical and future performance.

Research and Development Expenses

All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits, costs associated with preclinical studies and clinical trials (including amounts paid to clinical research organizations and other professional services). Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received.

We record accruals for estimated research and development costs, comprising payments for work performed by third party contractors, laboratories, participating clinical trial sites, and others. Some of these contractors bill monthly based on actual services performed, while others bill periodically based upon achieving certain contractual milestones. For the latter, we accrue the expenses as goods or services are used or rendered. Clinical trial site costs related to patient enrollment are accrued as patients enter and progress through the trial. Upfront costs, such as costs associated with setting up clinical trial sites for participation in the trials, are expensed immediately once incurred as research and development expenses.

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize the compensation expense related to stock options, third-party warrants, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of employee stock options and third-party warrants are generally determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using various inputs, including estimates of historic volatility, term, risk-free rate, and future dividends. The fair value of RSAs and RSUs is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of the stock-based awards, which may have graded vesting, is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each stock-based award, which is generally the vesting period of the respective stock-based awards. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of such date are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under 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 are 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 us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal 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 our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that our degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on such assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

Not applicable.

Mr. Zygmont also served as Vice President at Symmetry Advisors, Inc. a private equity leveraged buyout firm. While at Symmetry, he managed all finance and accounting for its SPAC, was a key player on a $600 million buyout of a portfolio company, and subsequently led the restructuring of its manufacturing division. Mr. Zygmont earned his M.S. in Finance from Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business and his B.A. from Eastern University.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

Our Board is divided into three classes, designated Class A, Class B and Class C, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term.

Our officers are appointed by the Board and serve until such person’s successor is appointed or until such person’s earlier resignation, death or removal. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents and such other offices as may be determined by the Board. The Board has determined that James Rolke and Chester. S. Zygmont, III are the only “executive officers” for the purposes of applicable SEC rules.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any events requiring disclosure under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Board Composition

Classified Board of Directors

In accordance with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

The Class A director is Ms. Carver, and her term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2026;

The Class B directors are Messrs. Rolke and Roper, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2027; and

The Class C director is Dr. Chawla, and his term and his term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2028.

78

We expect that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Leadership Structure of the Board

Our bylaws and corporate governance guidelines provide our board of directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer.

Our board of directors has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. However, our board of directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our board of directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the board of directors at regular board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. While our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, our audit committee is responsible for overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The audit committee also approves or disapproves any related person transactions. Our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Attendance of Directors at Board Meetings and Annual Meeting of Stockholders

During 2025, the Board of Directors met four times, the Compensation Committee met two times, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time, and the Audit Committee met four times. Each director attended at least 100% of the aggregate number of meetings held during his or her term of service. In 2025, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders which was attended by Mr. Rolke. The Company does not have a policy requiring its directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may establish other committees to facilitate the management of our business. The composition and functions of each committee are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors. Each committee has adopted a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC rules and regulations and the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which are posted on our website. The reference to our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website.

Audit Committee

Revelation has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, the board of directors adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s duties, will include, but are not limited to:

appoints our independent registered public accounting firm;

evaluates the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence, and performance;

determines the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm;

reviews the audit committee charter and the audit committee’s performance on an annual basis.

The composition of the Audit Committee consists of Mr. Roper, Dr. Chawla and Ms. Carver, with Mr. Roper as Chair. Mr. Roper qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined by the SEC rules. In addition, Revelation certified to Nasdaq that the Audit Committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. It has been determined that Mr. Roper satisfies such requirements.

Nominating and Governance Committee

Revelation’s Nominating and Governance Committee is comprised of Ms. Carver, Mr. Roper and Dr. Chawla, each of whom has been determined to be independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Nominating and Governance Committee adopted a written charter.

Specific responsibilities of the Nominating and GovernanceCommittee include:

identifying, evaluating and selecting, or recommending that board of directors approve, nominees for election to board of directors;

evaluating the performance of board of directors and of individual directors;

reviewing developments in corporate governance practices;

evaluating the adequacy of corporate governance practices and reporting;

reviewing management succession plans; and

developing and making recommendations to the board of directors regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters.

Compensation Committee

Revelation has a Compensation Committee established in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Dr. Chawla, Ms. Carver and Mr. Roper, each of whom has been determined to be independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The chair of Revelation’s compensation committee is Dr. Chawla.

The Compensation Committee oversees Revelation’s policies relating to compensation and benefits of its officers and employees. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves or recommends corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of its executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer), evaluates the performance of these officers in light of those goals and objectives and approves the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves or makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding the issuance of stock options and other awards under Revelation’s stock plans to its executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer). The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to his compensation, and the board of directors retains the authority to make compensation decisions relative to the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates, on an annual basis, the compensation committee charter and the compensation committee’s performance.

80

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee has ever been an officer or employee of Revelation. None of Revelation’s executive officers serve, or have served during the last fiscal year, as a member of the compensation committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as one of Revelation’s directors or on the Compensation Committee.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

The Revelation Board adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all its employees including its principal executive and financial officers.

Item 11. Executive Officer and Director Compensation.

Executive Compensation Overview

Each of the Company’s executive officers receives a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to the Company. The base salary is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, position and responsibilities.

Effective as of July 27, 2021, the Company entered into separate Executive Employment Agreements with Messrs. Rolke and Zygmont for their service as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively (collectively, the “Executive Employment Agreements”). The Executive Employment Agreements provide for a term of three years, unless terminated earlier in accordance with their terms.

The Executive Employment Agreements provide for an annual base salary of $625,000 for Mr. Rolke and $514,700 for Mr. Zygmont, which was set by the Compensation Committee on January 8, 2026, retroactive to January 1, 2026, and approved payment of the 2025 annual performance bonuses for Mr. Rolke in the amount of $441,788 and Mr. Zygmont in the amount of $255,150. Messrs. Rolke and Zygmont are also eligible to receive an annual performance bonus targeted at 55% for Mr. Rolke, which was increased from 45%, and 40% for Mr. Zygmont of their respective base salaries or as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the board (each, an “Annual Bonus”), as well as equity incentive grants as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreements, if his employment is terminated as a result of a “Covered Termination Event” that is not in connection with a change in control of the Company, then each of Messrs. Rolke and Zygmont will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to twelve months of severance payments at his then current base salary, plus a pro-rata portion of his Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his termination occurs based on actual achievement of the applicable bonus objectives and/or conditions for such year, plus continuation of medical benefits. If Mr. Rolke’s or Mr. Zygmont’s employment is terminated as a result of a “Covered Termination Event” in connection with a change in control of the Company, then each of Messrs. Rolke and Zygmont will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to one times the sum of his then current base salary, plus his target bonus in effect for the year in which his termination of employment occurs, plus a pro-rata portion of his Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which his termination occurs based on actual achievement of the applicable bonus objectives and/or conditions for such year, continuation of medical benefits and acceleration of vesting of all outstanding and unvested equity-based awards. “Covered Termination Event” means (i) a dismissal or discharge other than for cause and other than by reason of death or disability, or (ii) a voluntary termination for good reason.

Historically, our executive compensation program has reflected our growth and development-oriented corporate culture. To date, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and President and our other executive officers identified in the 2025 and 2024 Summary Compensation Table below, who we refer to as the named executive officers, has consisted of a combination of base salary, bonuses and long-term incentive compensation in the form of restricted common stock awards and incentive stock options. Our named executive officers who are full-time employees, like all other full-time employees, are eligible to participate in our retirement and health and welfare benefit plans. We will continue to evaluate our compensation values and philosophy and compensation plans and arrangements as circumstances merit. At a minimum, we review executive compensation annually with input from a compensation consultant. As part of this review process, we expect the board of directors and the compensation committee to apply our values and philosophy, while considering the compensation levels needed to ensure our executive compensation program remains competitive with our peers. In connection with our executive compensation program, we will also review whether we are meeting our retention objectives and the potential cost of replacing a key employee.

Pay Versus Performance Relationship

In accordance with Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table above.

Compensation Actually Paid and Company TSR. As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our NEOs is generally aligned with our cumulative total stockholder return (“TSR”) (assuming reinvestment of dividends) on $100 invested in our common stock over the three fiscal years presented in the table. The overall alignment of compensation actually paid with our cumulative TSR over the period presented is because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to our NEOs is comprised of equity awards, the value of which is driven by our stock price.

88

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Loss. As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our NEOs is not necessarily aligned with our net loss for each of the three fiscal years presented in the table.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The general policy of the Board is that compensation for independent directors should be a fair mix between cash and equity-based compensation. Additionally, the Company reimburses directors for reasonable expenses incurred during the course of their performance. There are no long-term incentive or medical reimbursement plans. The Company does not pay directors who are part of management for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. The Board determines the amount of director compensation. The Board may delegate such authority to the compensation committee.

The following table sets forth the total cash and equity compensation paid to our non-employee directors for service on our board of directors during 2025:

(1)

On May 23, 2025, Dr. Tidmarsh resigned from his position on the Company’s board of directors.

(2)

Amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of awards of restricted stock granted in 2025 under our 2021 Plan and computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. These amounts reflect the accounting cost for these RSAs and do not represent the actual economic value that may be realized by the director.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The following table also sets forth information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of February 23, 2026:

• each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock;

• each of our current officers and directors; and

89

• all current executive officers and directors of the Company, as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Shares of common stock issuable pursuant to options or warrants are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person or group holding such options or warrants but are not deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person.

The beneficial ownership of our common stock is based on 3,720,420 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of February 23, 2026.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock owned by them.

Item. 13. Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions, and Director Independence.

Related Party Policy

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our shares of common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Director Independence

Our board of directors currently consists of four members. Our board of directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Mr. Rolke, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq, Marketplace Rules, or the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which the Company has adopted as its independence standards. Mr. Rolke is not considered independent because he is an executive officer of the Company. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the definition of independence includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules, our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Revelation Biosciences, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has no revenue sources. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidatedfinancial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidatedfinancial statements. We believe that our audits providea reasonable basis for our opinion.

F-2

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiary, referred to as “we,” us,” “our,” “Revelation,” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage life science company that is focused on rebalancing inflammation to optimize health using its proprietary formulation Gemini.We have multiple ongoing programs to evaluate Gemini, including GEM-AKI as a prevention for acute kidney injury (“AKI”) and GEM-CKD as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) (together the “Product Candidates”). The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 20, 2019 (originally as Petra Acquisition, Inc.) and is based in San Diego, California.

The Company’s common stock and public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “REVB” and “REVBW”, respectively.

Reverse Stock Splits

On January 28, 2026, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock with a ratio of 1-for-4 (the “2026 Reverse Split”). As a result of the 2026 Reverse Split, every 4 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the 2026 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 2026 Reverse Split.

On July 7, 2025, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock with a ratio of 1-for-3 (the “July 2025 Reverse Split”). As a result of the July 2025 Reverse Split, every 3 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were outstanding following the July 2025 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share. All share numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the July 2025 Reverse Split.

On January 28, 2025, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock with a ratio of 1-for-16 (the “January 2025 Reverse Split”). As a result of the January 2025 Reverse Split, every 16 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the January 2025 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share. All share numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the January 2025 Reverse Split.

On January 25, 2024, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock with a ratio of 1-for-30 (the “2024 Reverse Split”). As a result of the 2024 Reverse Split, every 30 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the 2024 Reverse Split; any fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share numbers included herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 2024 Reverse Split.

In connection with each of the reverse stock splits described above, proportionate adjustments were made to all of the then outstanding equity awards and warrants with respect to the number of shares of common stock subject to such award or warrant and the exercise price thereof. Furthermore, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plan were proportionately adjusted.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including a net loss of $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $49.4 million, a stockholders’ equity of $8.9 million and available cash and cash equivalents of $10.7 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future as it continues to complete all necessary product development or future commercialization efforts. The Company has never generated revenue and does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for the Product Candidates or other product candidates, which the Company expects will not be for at least several years, if ever. The Company does not anticipate that its current cash and cash equivalents balance, which includes $10.7 million as of December 31, 2025, combined with approximately $6.7 million in net proceeds received in January 2026 in connection with a warrant inducement transaction (see Note 12), will be sufficient to sustain operations within one-year after the date that the Company’s audited financial statements for December 31, 2025 were issued, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

To continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, to raise additional capital resources. The Company plans to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, it could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect the Company’s business operations.

The audited consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2025, have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Revelation Biosciences, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entity have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation format. These reclassifications had no effect on our total assets, total liabilities, or net loss.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical and industry experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in checking and savings accounts. Income generated from cash held in savings accounts is recorded as interest income.
