Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information in this Item.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
We acknowledge the increasing importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital and interconnected world. Cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to the integrity of our systems and data, potentially impacting our business operations, financial condition and reputation.
As a smaller reporting company, we currently do not have formalized cybersecurity measures, a dedicated cybersecurity team or specific protocols in place to manage cybersecurity risks. Our approach to cybersecurity is in the developmental stage, and we have not yet conducted comprehensive risk assessments, established an incident response plan or engaged with external cybersecurity consultants for assessments or services.
Given our current stage of cybersecurity development, we have not experienced any significant cybersecurity incidents to date. However, we recognize that the absence of a formalized cybersecurity framework may leave us vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents. Such events could potentially lead to unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, sensitive information, disrupt our business operations, result in regulatory fines or litigation costs and negatively impact our reputation among customers and partners. In addition, cybersecurity incidents could have material adverse effects on our business strategy, financial condition, and results of operations (e.g., a significant breach could result in direct financial losses due to fraud, system downtime impacting revenue generation, increased compliance costs or contractual liabilities with third-party vendors and customers).
We are in the process of evaluating our cybersecurity needs and developing appropriate measures to enhance our cybersecurity posture. This includes considering the engagement of external cybersecurity experts to advise on best practices, conducting vulnerability assessments and developing an incident response strategy. Our goal is to establish a cybersecurity framework that is commensurate with our size, complexity and the nature of our operations, thereby reducing our exposure to cybersecurity risks.
In addition, the Board will oversee any cybersecurity risk management framework and a dedicated committee of the Board or an officer appointed by the Board will review and approve any cybersecurity policies, strategies and risk management practices. The Board (or designated committee or officer) will receive periodic updates on cybersecurity risks, including emerging threats, mitigation efforts and incident response activities. The updates will be provided at least annually, or more frequently as needed, to ensure cybersecurity risks are appropriately managed and integrated into our broader risk oversight strategy.
Despite our efforts to improve our cybersecurity measures, there can be no assurance that our initiatives will fully mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats. The landscape of cybersecurity risks is constantly evolving, and we will continue to assess and update our cybersecurity measures in response to emerging threats
For a discussion of potential cybersecurity risks affecting us, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2025 titled “Cybersecurity risks could adversely affect our business and disrupt our operations.”
Item 2. Properties.
Our corporate headquarters are located at 1025 Connecticut Avenue NW Suite 1000, Washington, D.C. 20036. We do not own any physical property, plant or labs. We currently lease one office at the above address, which lease was recently renewed for an additional one-year term expiring on March 31, 2027.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various claims and legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

2022 Equity Incentive Plan
On November 22, 2022, the Board and majority stockholder adopted the 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of the following types of stock awards: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) nonstatutory stock options, (iii) stock appreciation rights, (iv) restricted stock awards, (v) restricted stock unit awards and (vi) other stock awards. The 2022 Plan is intended to help us secure and retain the services of eligible award recipients, provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success and any of our affiliates and provide a means by which the eligible recipients may benefit from increases in value of the common stock. Initially, the Board reserved 995 shares of common stock issuable upon the grant of awards under the 2022 Plan. The 2022 Plan provides for an automatic increase in the number of shares available for issuance beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter, by 4% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors.
On July 16, 2024, November 6, 2024, and October 8, 2025, our stockholders approved an increase to the number of shares available under the 2022 Plan by 20,834 shares, 25,000 shares, and 62,500 shares respectively, which increases were previously approved by the Board. The total number of shares that remain available for issuance under the 2022 Plan as of December 31, 2025 is 68,760 shares, which additional reservation of shares provides us with flexibility to address future equity compensation needs. This increase is essential to attract and retain qualified employees, directors and consultants, and to align their interests with those of our stockholders.

1. Overview
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company with a goal of using cutting-edge biological science and applied research to further develop and commercialize new therapies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. We have successfully achieved regulatory approval of Arakoda® (“Arakoda”), a malaria preventative treatment that has been on the market since late 2019. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development covers development programs for vector-borne, fungal, and viral diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (i) new products that contain the Arakoda regimen of Tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain Tafenoquine; and (iii) Celgosivirand/or botanical extracts from Australian Chestnut Trees.
2. Components of Results of Operations
Product Revenues - net of Discounts and Rebates
We receive the majority of our product revenues from sales of our Arakoda product to resellers in the U.S. and abroad. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe were further subject to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers. Sales to resellers in the US are subject to considerable discounts and rebates for services provided by our third-party logistics (“3PL”) partner and wholesalers and pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”).
Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues associated with our products is primarily comprised of direct materials, shipping, manufacturing related costs incurred in the production process, serialization costs and inventory write-downs due to expiration.
Other Operating Revenues
Other operating revenues for the periods presented include research revenue earned from the Australian Tax Authority for research activities conducted in Australia. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, we began to recognize research revenues associated with our new contract with the United States Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA) for Arakoda supply chain upgrade support. Research revenue under this contract is recognized when we incur the direct costs eligible for reimbursement, up to the maximum allowable amount.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development costs for the periods presented primarily consist of contracted R&D services and costs associated with preparation for and conducting our Babesiosis trial. We expense all research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are recognized as prepaid assets and expensed over the service period as the services are provided. We have also issued shares of our common stock to vendors in exchange for research and development services
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, advertising and promotion expenses, professional services fees, such as consulting, audit, accounting and legal fees, general corporate costs and allocated costs, including facilities, information technology and amortization of intangibles.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
We earn interest income from cash invested in interest-bearing accounts, as well as cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting of certificates of deposits with original maturities ranging from three to six months. Interest expense for the periods presented is limited to a single $150,000 SBA loan that bears interest at 3.75%.

For the Year Ended December 31,
Consolidated Statements of Operations Data: 2025 2024 $ Change % Change
Product Revenues - net of Discounts and Rebates
Our product revenues - net of discounts and rebates were $1,005,471 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $607,574 for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our U.S. pharmaceutical distributor accounted for 92% of our total net product sales and Kodatef sales to our Australian distributor accounted for 6% of total net product sales (95% and 5% for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively). Despite a shortage of Arakoda 16-ct boxes starting in April 2025, which resulted from a delay in completing commercial validation of a new packaging format, domestic, commercial product sales increased during the period, primarily due to the combination of rising sales, price increases and fewer returns.
We offer discounts and rebates to the civilian U.S. supply chain distribution channel. We record sales when our 3PL partner transfers boxes into their title model. Discounts and rebates offered to our 3PL partner amount to 12% (lower rates available upon reaching larger revenue tiers) along with a $5,500 fixed monthly fee. The product is then transferred usually to one of the three large U.S. pharmaceutical distributors where rebates are 10%. Lastly, we have relationships with several large pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) that allow patients to purchase Arakoda at a discount. The rebate associated with PBMs ranges from 30% to 41.25% depending on the amount of coverage provided. For the year ended December 31, 2025, discounts and rebates were $476,430 compared to $476,218 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Arakoda entered the U.S. civilian supply chain in the third quarter of 2019. Since the introduction of the new 8-ct bottle in June 2025, we will be reporting Arakoda unit sales in terms of 16-ct box equivalents. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 5,119 16-ct box equivalents were sold to pharmacies and dispensaries. Sales volume increased by 12% to 5,724 16-ct box equivalents sold to pharmacies and dispensaries for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Kodatef sales to our distributor Biocelect in Australia for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $57,058 ($30,652 for the year ended December 31, 2024). A historical portion of sales to Biocelect remained subject to a profit share distribution once the original transfer price has been recouped. As of December 31, 2025, Biocelect has no inventory left that remains subject to profit share. Biocelect, which acts as a distributor in the Australian and New Zealand markets, reported year-over-year growth of <1%, with 1,854 boxes sold for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1,850 boxes for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, under a new agreement executed during 2025, Biocelect began to purchase from the latest manufactured lot of Kodatef at $49.50 AUD per box which are not subject to historical profit share. As of December 31, 2025, no receivables were due to us ($9,444 as of December 31, 2024).
Arakoda sales volume in Europe continues to grow. We first shipped Arakoda to our distributor Scandinavian Biopharma (“SB”) in September 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2025, SB reported 353 boxes sold (147 for the year ended December 31, 2024). According to our distributor, this is due to greater interest in treating babesiosis.Additionally, we recorded $22,500 in European sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($0 for the year ended December 31, 2024).
Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues was $781,695 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $384,765 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cost of revenues was, in part, due to higher product sales during the year, as well as higher write-offs of inventory not expected to be sold prior to its expiration date. Write-offs for expiring inventory were $445,181 during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $22,046 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The excess inventory resulted from our strategic decision to validate a new, larger-scale production method with then soon to be expiring raw materials (API), with the offsetting assistance from our USAMMDA grant. The development proved successful but the dating on the produced inventory is already considered in the industry to be short-dated and will have to be replaced by the beginning of the second quarter of 2026. The temporary increase in inventory write-offs was a necessary step in scaling our operations and is not expected to be recurring. Our new larger-scale production processes are expected to help keep inventory costs lower than otherwise. Due to these factors, the Gross Margin % decreased from 36.67% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 22.26% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Other Operating Revenues
For the Year Ended December 31,

The research revenues earned by us were $403,624 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $73,771 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in research revenues is due to the new USAMMDA contract we were awarded in July 2024 to facilitate commercial validation of a new bottle and replacement blister packaging of Arakoda and the contract we signed with the University of
Kentucky for tafenoquine clinical trial supply. We recognized research revenues of $298,868 related to the USAMMDA grant for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($12,994 for the year ended December 31, 2024). We recognized research revenues of $89,302 from the University of Kentucky for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($0 for the year ended December 31, 2024). Other research revenues were $15,454 for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($60,777 for the year ended December 31, 2024).
Operating Expenses

Research and Development
Research and development costs decreased by $2,880,370 during the year ended December 31, 2025 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decline is primarily attributable to non-cash charges totaling $3,225,000 recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to share-based payments issued to vendors in January 2023 as advance consideration, which payments were initially deferred and capitalized. Kentucky Technology, Inc. delivered us a report on the potential development of SJ733 + tafenoquine in the second quarter of 2024 and Trevally completed the synthesis of 8.8 kilograms of castanospermine in the third quarter of 2024, resulting in $2,625,000 and $600,000, respectively, of research and development expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. Otherwise, research and development costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily consisted of costs related to our babesiosis trial for tafenoquine. Direct trial-related costs represent 71% of the total research and development costs at $1,496,148 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 27% of the costs at $1,359,532 during the year ended December 31, 2024. We also recorded $153,198 in research and development expenses related to commercial validation and packaging of Arakoda, for which a majority qualifies for reimbursement under the USAMMDA grant discussed above.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2025, our general and administrative expenses increased by 24.97% or $1,254,588 from the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded lower compensation expenses including $11,791 of bonus expense and $728,829 of salaries, taxes, and benefits expense, respectively (compared to $275,114 and $662,951 for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively) due to certain sales and performance bonuses awarded to our executives in 2024. However, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $518,150 in legal and professional fees, $1,217,826 of investor outreach expenses, and $1,401,529 of sales advisory, advertising and promotion expenses (up from $410,016, $1,019,111, and $433,884 for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively). Additionally, we recognized higher stock-based compensation costs, from $32,767 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $279,873 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This increase was in part due to new partially vested option grants awarded to two executives in January 2025 and certain fully vested stock-based awards granted to our directors at the end of 2025, as well as the ongoing quarterly expense recognized for additional stock options granted in the third quarter of 2024.

Cash paid for interest was $8,772 and $8,772 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a net gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $266,089 compared to a net gain of $1,665,966 for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, derivative liabilities include the contingent milestone payment due to Knight upon a future sale of Arakoda or a Change of Control. We use a probability-weighted expected return method to estimate the fair value of this derivative liability.
Other Income (Expense), net
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $131,970 in other income compared to $101,464 in other income for the year ended December 31, 2024. We recognized interest income of $104,360 during the year ended December 31, 2025 ($103,299 during the year ended December 31, 2024). Other income for the year ended December 31, 2024also included $10,789 of storage revenue recognized in association with final payment under the legacy contract with the USAMMDA for storing Arakoda purchases. We did not recognize storage revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025.
5. Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,510,065 ($1,659,353 as of December 31, 2024). For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net cash used in operating activities was $6,849,022 and $5,648,088, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, and proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and promissory notes. Based on current internal projections, taking into consideration the net proceeds of approximately $4.3 million received from the July 2025 public offering, and approximately $4.0 million in gross proceeds received through the 2025 ATM Agreement between October 15, 2026 and March 25, 2026, we estimate that we will have sufficient funds to remain viable through September 30, 2026, assuming no additional capital raises. We cannot give assurance that we can increase our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
In their audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our auditors have expressed their concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain financing. The audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, included an explanatory note referring to our recurring operating losses and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Since our inception, we have not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating expenses and we have accumulated losses to date. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.
Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from our single marketed product. To achieve profitability, we expect we will need to raise additional capital to fund our activities relating to commercial support for our existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or maintain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
45
We plan to fund our operations through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent offering until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to us. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.
As such, we have concluded that such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025:
Payments Due By Period
Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 4-5 years More than 5 Years
Amounts related to contingent milestone payments are not considered contractual obligations as they are contingent on the achievement of certain milestones. These contingent milestones may or may not be achieved. We have not included any of these amounts in the table above as we cannot estimate or predict when, or if, these amounts will become due.
Cash Flows
Year Ended December 31,
Net Cash (Used In) Provided By :
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $6,849,022 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $5,648,088 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our net cash used in operating activities increased, in part due to higher general and administrative expenses of $6,279,823 for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($5,025,235 for the year ended December 31, 2024) primarily due to higher cash compensation and related expenses, legal and professional fees, investor outreach expenses, and advertising and promotion expenses, as discussed above. In addition, we incurred $1,496,148 in costs related to our babesiosis trial for tafenoquine during the year ended December 31, 2025 ($1,304,183 during the year ended December 31, 2024).
46
Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $254,916 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $1,889,114 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by purchases of short-term certificates of deposit for a total cost of $1,235,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025 ($1,708,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024), purchased for the purposes of earning interest income. Additionally, purchases of computer and lab equipment totaled $139,881 during the year ended December 31, 2025 ($103,773 during the year ended December 31, 2024), and capitalized website development costs and patent costs totaled $22,670 and $55,533, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($25,374 and $51,967 for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively).
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6,437,691 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,053,571 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to net proceeds aggregating to $7,042,608 received in connection with our common stock and warrant offering in January 2024, (ii) the sale of common stock pursuant to the At-the-Market Sales Agreement in July and August 2024, and (iii) the sale of warrants in our Private Placement offering that closed in September 2024, which exceeded the aggregate net proceeds of $6,452,887 received in connection with our common stock and warrant offerings completed in January, February, and July 2025 and the sale of common stock pursuant to the At-the-Market Sales Agreement in October and December 2025.
We also received lower proceeds from the exercise of warrants at $2,804 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $10,963 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2025, we withheld shares valued at $18,000 to cover tax withholdings for net share settlement of certain 2024 performance bonuses awarded to our executives ($0 for the year ended December 31, 2024).
Effect of Foreign Currency Translation on Cash Flow
Our foreign operations were small relative to U.S. operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, thus effects of foreign currency translation have been minor.
6. Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments, and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, we may be required to make significant judgments, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which may include estimates of variable consideration that result from product returns. We determine the amount of variable consideration by using either the expected value method or the most-likely-amount method. We include the unconstrained amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price, which reflects the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts we expect to be earned or to be claimed on the related sales.
We record U.S. commercial revenues as a receivable when our American distributor transfers shipped product to their title model for 60P. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are recognized as a receivable at the point product is shipped to distributor. The shipments to Australia and Europe were further subject to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers.
47
Inventory
We report inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is comprised of direct materials and, where applicable, costs we incur in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. We use the Specific Identification method per lot. A box or a bottle price is calculated per lot number and sales are recognized by their lot number.
We regularly monitor our inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value, and record write-downs for inventory that has expired, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected sales requirements. We charge any write-downs of inventories to Cost of Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Share-Based Payments
We account for share-based payments in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). We measure compensation for all share-based payment awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. For awards that vest based on continued service, the service-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms of the share-based awards is established. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
We estimate the fair value of all stock option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions, including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of the option. Due to the lack of a public market for our common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific historical implied volatility data, we base our computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of public companies with similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. We generally use the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term for stock options, whereby, the expected term equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual term of the options due to our lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, our best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have never paid dividends and have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of significant judgment.
We recognize compensation expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded.
For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is achieved, at which time the cumulative compensation expense is recognized. Compensation cost related to any remaining time-based service for share-based awards after the liquidity-based event is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.
For fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are granted at the date we enter into an agreement for goods or services with a nonemployee, we recognize the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date. The corresponding cost is recognized as an immediate expense or a prepaid asset and expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee.
Derivative Liabilities
We assess the classification of our derivative financial instruments each reporting period, which formerly consisted of bridge shares, convertible notes payable, and certain warrants, and determined that such instruments initially qualified for treatment as derivative liabilities as they met the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815. As of December 31, 2025, our derivative financial instruments consist of contingent payment arrangements.
We analyze all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations, as a component of other income or expense as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. We use a Monte Carlo simulation model or a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of these instruments.
48
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt or equity instrument in exchange for equity shares, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), we record the equity shares at fair value on the date of conversion, relieve all related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts, and recognize a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if any.
Equity or liability instruments that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During 2025 and 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB issues Accounting Standards Update (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. We regularly evaluate new ASUs to determine the impact that these pronouncements may have on our consolidated financial statements. Other than the pronouncements listed below, management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, or (iii) are not applicable to our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280, including the new required disclosures under the ASU. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on a retrospective basis for the 2024 annual period, and for interim periods beginning in 2025. The impact is limited to our financial statement disclosures, which are presented in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 was effective for us for our annual period ending December 31, 2025. The impact of the adoption is limited to our financial statement disclosures, which are presented on a prospective basis. See Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which applies to all public business entities that file financial statements with the SEC. The amendments in this ASU require public business entities to disclose on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. The ASU is effective for all entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASU 2025-07”). ASU 2025-07 adds a new scope exception from derivative accounting under ASC 815 for certain non-exchange-traded contracts with customers with an underlying that is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Further, ASU 2025-07 clarifies that an entity should apply the guidance in ASC 606 to a contract with stock-based noncash consideration. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiary (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
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 an accumulated deficit, recurring losses and expects future losses that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding 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 financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

60 DEGREES PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 1, 2022 and merged on the same day with 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a District of Columbia limited liability company organized on September 9, 2010 (“60P LLC”). 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary (referred to collectively as the “Company”, “60P”, or “60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that specializes in the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. 60P achieved FDA approval of its lead product, ARAKODA® (tafenoquine), for malaria prevention, in 2018. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development covers development programs for vector-borne diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (i) new products that contain the Arakoda regimen of tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain tafenoquine; and (iii) celgosivirand/or botanical extracts from Australian Chestnut Trees. The Company’s headquarters are located in Washington, D.C., with a majority-owned subsidiary in Australia.
Since the Company’s initial public offering in July 2023, its common stock has been listed and trades on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SXTP,” and tradeable warrants under the symbol “SXTPW.”
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the risks associated with developing product candidates and successfully launching and commercializing its drug/device combination products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of its such products in the United States and other geography markets, the uncertainty of the broad adoption of its approved products by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.
In addition, higher rates of inflation have resulted in the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may further increase economic uncertainty and heighten these risks. Furthermore, if additional banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, the Company or its partners’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including the Company’s ability to access additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy.
Going Concern
The Company’s future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Since its inception, the Company has not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating expenses and has accumulated losses to date. At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,510,065, as compared to cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,659,353 at December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company used cash of $6,849,022 in its operating activities ($5,648,088 during the year ended December 31, 2024). The Company’s capital commitments over the next twelve months include interest and principal payments on the Company’s debt arrangement of $8,772, $1,459,279 to satisfy accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $18,775 payable under its short-term lease arrangement. In addition, the Company is subject to certain royalty obligations based on future net product sales (See Note 11).
To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.
Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from the Company’s single marketed product. To achieve profitability, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to fund its activities relating to commercial support for its existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that it will ever achieve or maintain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
Management plans to fund operations of the Company through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent offering until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the Company’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If the Company raises funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to the Company and/or may reduce the value of its common stock. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market its product candidates even if the Company would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates itself.
As such, management concluded that such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of 60P and its subsidiary are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.
Principles of Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interest
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of its 96.61% owned subsidiary, 60P Australia Pty Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than the Company. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by us is included in Noncontrolling Interest in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material. Significant estimates include the reserve for inventory, the fair value of derivative liabilities, and stock-based compensation.
Reverse Stock Splits
Following stockholder approval in July 2024, the Company effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1:12 (the “1:12 Reverse Stock Split”), which was effective as of August 12, 2024. Following stockholder approval in November 2024, the Company effected an additional reverse stock split at a ratio of 1:5 (the “1:5 Reverse Stock Split), which was effective as of February 24, 2025. Following stockholder approval in October 2025, the Company effected an additional reverse stock split at a ratio of 1:4 (the “1:4 Reverse Stock Split” and together with the 1:12 Reverse Stock Split and the 1:5 Reverse Stock Split, the “Reverse Stock Splits”), which was effective January 20, 2026 (See Note 12 – Subsequent Events).
Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s equity awards, warrants, and other equity instruments convertible into common stock, as well as the respective exercise prices, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of the instruments. Unless otherwise noted, all references to numbers of shares of the Company’s common stock and per share information presented in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash consists of cash deposited in demand accounts at financial institutions, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company considers short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, at times, may exceed the FDIC insurable limits (currently $250,000). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC Limits. The Company periodically assesses the credit risk associated with these financial institutions and believes that the risk of loss is minimal.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months and less than twelve months, which are classified as held-to-maturity as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until they mature. The classification of short-term investments is determined at the time of purchase and is reevaluated at each balance sheet date. Short-term investments are reported at amortized cost.
F-9
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. Based on the Company’s history there has been no need to make a recording to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Most of the Company’s revenue has been earned via government contracts, an Australian pharmaceutical distributor and a large American pharmaceutical distributor. There was no allowance as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As the Company continues to engage with smaller distributors, it will continue to analyze whether an allowance should be established. As of December 31, 2025, the U.S. pharmaceutical distributor accounted for 97% of the accounts receivable balance (95% as of December 31, 2024).
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is comprised of direct materials and, where applicable, costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The Company uses the Specific Identification method per lot. A box or a bottle price is calculated per lot number and sales are recognized by their lot number.
The Company regularly monitors its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value, and records write-downs for inventory that has expired, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected sales requirements. Any write-downs of inventories are charged to Cost of Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the year ended December 31, 2025, write-downs for expired inventory totaled $445,181 ($22,046 for the year ended December 31, 2024).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are charged to earnings as incurred and additions and major improvements are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the period of disposal and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings.
Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related asset type or term of the operating lease using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The estimated service lives for Property and Equipment are either three (3), five (5) or seven (7) years.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, are periodically evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company monitors for potential indicators of a trigger event for asset impairment, including whether there is an adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is being used or its physical condition. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of which there are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at a location level. Assets are reviewed using factors including, but not limited to, future operating plans and projected cash flows. The determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows directly related to the assets, compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets does not exceed the carrying value of the assets, full or partial impairment may exist. If the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined using an income approach, which requires discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset.
Intangible Assets
The Company capitalizes its patent and filing fees and legal patent and prosecution fees in connection with internally developed pending patents. When pending patents are issued, patents will be amortized over the expected period to be benefitted, not to exceed the patent lives, which may be as long as ten to fifteen years.
Website Development Costs
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic No. 350-50, Website Development Costs. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day-to-day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. All costs associated with the websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company assesses the classification of its derivative financial instruments each reporting period, which formerly consisted of bridge shares, convertible notes payable, and certain warrants, and determined that such instruments initially qualified for treatment as derivative liabilities as they met the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of contingent payment arrangements.
F-10
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations, as a component of other income or expense as change in fair value of derivative liabilities.The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt or equity instrument in exchange for equity shares, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the equity shares at fair value on the date of conversion, relieves all related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if any.
Equity or liability instruments that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Equity-Classified Warrants
As of December 31, 2025, the Company accounts for all outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as equity-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. This assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the respective issuance dates and as of each subsequent reporting period while the warrants are outstanding.
Income Taxes
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a corporation for U.S. Federal and state income tax purposes. The tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. 60P Australia Pty Ltd. is subject to taxation by the Australian Taxation Office.
Management assesses, on a jurisdictional basis, the available means of recovering deferred tax assets, including the ability to carry-back net operating losses, the existence of reversing temporary differences, the availability of tax planning strategies and available sources of future taxable income. On the basis of this evaluation, the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will recognize the benefits of its net deferred tax assets, and, as a result, a full valuation allowance has been recorded against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changes in facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of tax examinations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been established.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventory purchases, and borrowings.
Significant customers represent any customer whose business makes up 10% of receivables or revenues. At December 31, 2025, significant customers represented 97% of receivables (consisting of three customers and one significant customer) and 92% of total net product revenues (consisting of three customers and one significant customer). At December 31, 2024, significant customers represented 95% of receivables (consisting of three customers and one significant customer) and 95% of total net product revenues (consisting of three customers and one significant customer).
Currently, the Company has exclusive relationships with distributors in Australia and Europe. A failure to perform by any of our current distributors would create disruption for patients in those markets.
Since the Company first started working on tafenoquine all inventory has been acquired in a collaborative relationship from a sole vendor. Should the vendor cease to supply tafenoquine it would take significant costs and efforts to rebuild the supply chain with a new sole vendor sourcing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”).
F-11
Segment Information
Since its inception, the Company operates and manages its business as a single identifiable segment, focused on the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net income or loss for purposes of evaluating performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods. The significant components of consolidated net income or loss regularly provided to the CODM include net product revenues and the significant expense categories presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (cost of revenues, research and development, and general and administrative expenses). These are presented at the consolidated level and used by the CODM to monitor budgeted versus actual results to make key operating decisions. The information and operating expense categories presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss are fully reflective of the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM.
The measure of segment assets that is regularly reported to the CODM includes cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, each as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $2,750,786 and $3,387,825 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company may be required to make significant judgments, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which may include estimates of variable consideration that result from product returns. The Company determines the amount of variable consideration by using either the expected value method or the most-likely-amount method. The Company includes the unconstrained amount of estimated variable consideration in the transaction price, which reflects the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period of adjustment. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts the Company expects to be earned or to be claimed on the related sales.
The Company receives the majority of its revenues from sales of its ArakodaTM product to resellers in the US and abroad. The Company records US commercial revenues as a receivable when our American distributor transfers shipped product to their title model for 60P. Foreign sales to both Australia and Europe are recognized as a receivable at the point product is shipped to distributor. Historically, the shipments to Australia and Europe were further subject to profit sharing agreements for boxes sold to customers.
In addition to revenue from product sales, beginning in the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognizes research revenues associated with its contract with the United States Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA) for Arakoda supply chain upgrade support. Research revenue under this contract is recognized when the direct costs eligible for reimbursement are incurred, up to the maximum allowable amount. Other research revenues consist of sales of clinical trial supplies, which are recognized at a point in time, and research rebates earned from the Australian Tax Authority, which are recognized over time as qualifying research activities in Australia are performed.
Research and Development Costs
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Prepayments for research and development services are deferred and amortized over the service period as the services are provided. Advance payments for specific materials, equipment, or facilities determined to have no alternative future use are initially deferred and recognized as research and development expense when the related goods are delivered.
The Company recorded $2,106,156 in research and development costs during the year ended December 31, 2025 ($4,986,526 for the year ended December 31, 2024). The Company has also issued shares of common stock to nonemployees in exchange for research and development services. The Company recognizes prepaid research and development costs on the grant date, as defined in FASB ASC Subtopic No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. See Note 10 for further details.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and the Fair Value Option (“FVO”)
The inputs used to measure fair value are based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used in valuation techniques. These levels, in order of highest to lowest priority, are described below:
F-12
The Company may choose to elect the FVO for certain eligible financial instruments, such as certain Promissory Notes, in order to simplify the accounting treatment. Items for which the FVO has been elected are presented at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any change in fair value unrelated to credit risk is recorded in Other Expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Changes in fair value related to credit risk are recognized in Other Comprehensive Loss. As a result of the completion of the IPO, all financial instruments for which the FVO was elected were extinguished. See Note 7 for more information on the extinguishment of the Promissory Notes.
The Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 include the derivative liability associated with the contingent milestone payment due to Knight upon a future sale of ArakodaTM or a Change of Control, which is carried at fair value based on Level 3 inputs. The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of the contingent milestone payment using significant inputs such as the timing and probability of discrete potential exit scenarios, forward interest rate curves, and discount rates based on implied and market yields. See Note 8 for more information on Derivative Liabilities.
Liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Liabilities:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Liabilities:
There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the periods presented. A rollforward of liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is presented in Note 8 (Derivative Liabilities).
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company’s non-financial assets, including Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses) approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. Certificates of deposit, classified as cash equivalents or short-term investments depending on the instrument’s original time to maturity, are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The individual financial statements of each group entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are mostly translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) as Unrealized Foreign Currency Translation Gain or Loss.
Exchange rates along with historical rates used in these financial statements are as follows:

F-13
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, or cash flows.
Share-Based Payments
On November 22, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan also referred to as (“2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan and related share-based awards are discussed more fully in Note 10.
The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company measures compensation for all share-based payment awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. For awards that vest based on continued service, the service-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For service vesting awards with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis, at no point in time does the cumulative grant date value of vested awards exceed the cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized. The grant date is determined based on the date when a mutual understanding of the key terms of the share-based awards is established. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions, including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of the option. Due to the lack of a public market for the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO and lack of company-specific historical implied volatility data, the Company has based its computations of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of public companies with similar characteristics of the Company, including stage of development and industry focus. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. The Company generally uses the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, to estimate the expected term for stock options, whereby, the expected term equals the midpoint of the weighted average remaining time to vest, vesting period and the contractual term of the options due to its lack of historical exercise data. For certain options granted out-of-the-money, the Company’s best estimate of the expected term is the contractual term of the award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on its common stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of significant judgment.
Compensation expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with only service-based vesting conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation cost for service-based RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of shares awarded.
For awards that vest upon a liquidity event or a change in control, the performance condition is not probable of being achieved until the event occurs. As a result, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance-based vesting condition is achieved, at which time the cumulative compensation expense is recognized. Compensation cost related to any remaining time-based service for share-based awards after the liquidity-based event is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.
For fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are granted at the date the Company and a nonemployee enter into an agreement for goods or services, the Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date. The corresponding cost is recognized as an immediate expense or a prepaid asset and expensed over the service period depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the agreement with the nonemployee. See Note 10 for further details.
F-14
Net Loss per Common Share
Net Loss per Common Share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The Company has included the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in January 2024 and September 2024 (See Note 6) in its computation of basic and diluted net loss per share due to their nominal exercise prices. The cumulative dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock during the period are reflected as an addition to net loss in determining basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders.
As the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Splits, which were effective as of August 12, 2024 at a ratio of 1:12, February 24, 2025 at a ratio of 1:5, and January 20, 2026 at a ratio of 1:4, all shares of outstanding common stock and net loss per common share calculations have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Subsequent Events
The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 30, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were issued. See Note 12.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the authoritative literature in the ASC. The Company regularly evaluates new ASUs to determine the impact that these pronouncements may have on the consolidated financial statements. Other than the pronouncements listed below, the Company believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, or (iii) are not applicable to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280, including the new required disclosures under the ASU. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on a retrospective basis for the 2024 annual period, and for interim periods beginning in 2025. The impact is limited to the Company’s financial statement disclosures, which are presented in the Segment Information section above.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid.

8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value at the commitment date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations within other income (expense), net as the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, derivative liabilities consist of the contingent milestone payment due to Knight Therapeutics, Inc. (“Knight”), a former lender of the Company, as required by the Debt Conversion Agreement executed between the Company and Knight on January 9, 2023, as subsequently amended (the “Knight Debt Conversion Agreement”). Key points of this agreement were as follows:
The Parties agreed to fix Knight’s cumulative debt to the value as it stood on March 31, 2022, which consisted of principal and accumulated interest. As a result of the completion of the IPO, the cumulative outstanding principal as of March 31, 2022 converted into 4,619 shares of common stock (representing 19.9% ownership of the Company’s common stock after giving effect to the IPO), and the entirety of the accumulated interest as of March 31, 2022 converted into 80,965 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations with respect to the outstanding principal and accumulated interest.
The Parties agreed that the Company will make a milestone payment of $10 million to Knight if, after the IPO, the Company sells ArakodaTM or if a Change of Control (as per the definition included in the original loan agreement dated on December 10, 2015) occurs, provided that the purchaser of ArakodaTM or individual or entity gaining control of the Borrower is not the Lender or an affiliate of the Lender.
For the period ending upon the earlier of (i) 10 years after the closing of the IPO, or (ii) the conversion or redemption in full of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will pay to Knight a royalty equal to 3.5% of the Company’s net sales (the “Royalty”) on a quarterly basis, where “Net Sales” has the same meaning as in the Company’s license agreement with the U.S. Army for tafenoquine.
Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company concluded that the contingent milestone payment is a freestanding financial instrument that meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, and accordingly, the fair value of the derivative liability is marked to market each reporting period until settled. The Royalty due to Knight was determined to be an embedded component of the Series A Preferred Stock, however, is exempt from derivative accounting under the ASC 815 scope exception for specified volumes of sales or service revenues. Therefore, the Company accrues a royalty expense as sales are made.
The Company uses a probability-weighted expected return method to determine the fair value of the contingent milestone payment. The valuation model uses significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), incorporating management’s assumptions regarding the timing and probability of discrete potential exit scenarios, forward interest rate curves, and a weighted average cost of capital based on implied and market yields to discount expected cash flows.
The valuation of the contingent milestone payment requires significant judgment and is sensitive to changes in assumptions related to the expected timing of payment, the likelihood of potential exit scenarios, and the selected discount rate. In developing these assumptions, management considers various qualitative and quantitative factors, including the anticipated progression toward clinical, commercial, and profitability milestones and the potential for a strategic transaction following achievement of each milestone. These factors are evaluated collectively to assess the probability‐weighted timing of the contingent payment under each potential exit scenario reflected in the valuation.As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the discount rates applied in the valuation were 12.49% and 11.65%, respectively.
Changes in any of the assumptions used in the valuation could result in a materially different fair value measurement and, as a result, could lead to materially different gains or losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss upon recurring remeasurement.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows for the year ended December 31, 2025:

The valuation allowance increased by $2,236,093 during 2025. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company has given consideration to its worldwide cumulative loss position when assessing the weight of the sources of taxable income that can be used to support the realization of deferred tax assets. The Company has assessed, on a jurisdictional basis, the available means of recovering deferred tax assets, including the ability to carry-back net operating losses, the existence of reversing temporary differences, the availability of tax planning strategies and available sources of future taxable income. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of the U.S. Federal, state and net deferred tax assets, and, as a result, a full valuation allowance has been set against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17,028,834 and $17,026,834 respectively, and U.S. federal tax credits of $527,966. At December 31, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,235,194 and $9,234,194 respectively, and U.S. federal tax credits of $437,296. The U.S. federal and state net operating losses carryforward indefinitely but may only be used to offset 80% of annual taxable income due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The U.S. federal tax credits begin to expire in 2042. The Company had $7,487,256 and $6,601,381 of foreign net operating loss carryforwards which carryforward indefinitely at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Utilization of the NOL carryforwards may be subject to limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and interest limitation carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. There could be additional ownership changes in the future, which may result in additional limitations on the utilization of the NOL and tax credit carryforwards.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, it files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and in Australia. In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is not under income tax examination in any jurisdiction.
During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of tax examinations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been established.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company did not recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Share-Based Compensation under 2022 Equity Incentive Plan
On November 22, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants, to be granted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. The 2022 Plan provides for an automatic increase in the number of shares available for issuance beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter, by 4% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors. Additionally, on July 16, 2024, November 6, 2024, and October 8, 2025 the Company’s stockholders approved an increase to the number of shares available under the 2022 Plan by 20,834 shares, 25,000 shares, and 62,500 shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the number of remaining shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan is equal to 68,760.
Stock Options
The Company grants stock options to employees, non-employees, and Directors with exercise prices equal to the closing price of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date that the options are granted. Options granted generally have a term of five to ten years from the grant date and are subject to vesting as determined in the individual award agreement. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model.
The following table summarizes the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Weighted-average grant date fair value $ 15.24 $ 35.12
Expected dividend yield 0.00 % 0.00 %

The aggregate intrinsic value in the tables above reflects the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options. The intrinsic value of stock options changes based on the price of the Company’s common stock.
On July 16, 2024, the effective date of shareholder approval to increase the number of shares available under the 2022 Plan, the Company determined that the grant date criteria (as defined in ASC 718) was met, and therefore granted 3,212 stock options to certain directors, executives, and non-employees, in accordance with the terms of the individuals’ employment or directors’ agreements, as applicable. On September 26, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the grant of an additional 1,042 stock options to an executive.
In December 2024, the Board approved the grant of a total of 30,000 stock options to two executives at a per share exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on January 2, 2025. On January 2, 2025, the Company determined that the grant date criteria (as defined in ASC 718) was met, and therefore granted of a total of 30,000 stock options to executives. On October 21, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 8,000 non-qualified stock options to each of the four directors (2,000 options per director) at a per share exercise price of $5.84. These stock options were fully vested on the date of grant and have a term of seven years.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $279,873 of compensation expense related to stock option awards ($32,767 for the year ended December 31, 2024). No stock options were exercised, forfeited, or expired during the period presented. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $415,553 of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.00 years.
Annual Performance Bonus
In December 2024, the Board approved the payment of 2024 performance bonuses to executives of the Company. Each executive was provided the option of receiving up to $20,000 in cash, with the remainder paid in shares of common stock determined based on the closing market price on January 2, 2025. All shares issued are eligible for net settlement up to the maximum allowable amount according to the IRS of 22%. As the number of shares is variable, the Company determined this represents a liability for the fixed monetary amount that will be settled in shares. On January 20, 2025, the Company issued a total of 3,953 shares of common stock to the executives in settlement of the share-based portion of the 2024 performance bonuses. Approximately 688 shares were withheld to cover payroll tax withholdings.
