Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
Nature of Business

Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company," "we" or "our") is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, or PD, and related disorders that arise inside and outside of the brain. In 2021, we commenced clinical development of IkT-148009, a small molecule Abelson Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor we believe can modify the course of Parkinson's disease including its manifestation in the gastrointestinal tract, or GI. Results to date of our ongoing Phase 1 Single and Multiple Ascending Dose escalation study (SAD and MAD, respectively) in older and elderly healthy volunteers have revealed important insights into the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IkT-148009 in human subjects. We enrolled 88 subjects in the Phase 1 study. Results from the Phase 1 study have shown that IkT-148009 has a half-life of greater than 24 hours and just a 25 mg once-daily oral dose in older and elderly healthy subjects in our Phase 1 study reached exposures that are consistent with the exposure to the drug that resulted in therapeutic efficacy in animal models of progressive Parkinson's disease. In July 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, agreed with the Company's plan to initiate its Phase 1b study in Parkinson's patients which commenced dosing October 19, 2021, and one cohort of 8 patients have completed the Phase 1b study to date. The Company anticipates initiating Phase 2 studies of IkT-148009 in Parkinson's disease in the second quarter of 2022, subject to agreements with the FDA. Clinical development of IkT-148009 for the GI complications in PD patients will cross-reference the Phase 1 study of IkT-148009 for the treatment of PD. Our efforts in Parkinson's disease are being extended into other Parkinson's-related indications, such as the Orphan Disease Multiple Systems Atrophy, or MSA. Depending on the outcome of animal model studies of MSA, the Company may initiate Phase 2 studies of IkT-148009 in MSA in the fourth quarter of 2022 following regulatory submissions in the U.S. and European Union, or EU. Clinical development of the Company's oncology asset, IkT-001Pro, is anticipated to begin shortly after submission of the Company's Investigational New Drug application, or IND, for IkT-001Pro; submission of the IND is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2022.

Our advancement of the pre-clinical and clinical development program for MSA was benefited by a grant received from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, or NINDS, an Institute of the National Institutes of Health, for $385,888to fund animal model studies of IkT-148009 as a therapy for MSA. These animal studies are now underway. At the same time, we are preparing regulatory submissions to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and to the FDA to enable a Phase 2a safety and tolerability study in MSA patients in up to 19 sites in the EU, and up to 6 sites in the U.S. involving 60 patients. The proposed clinical Phase 2a study will have primary endpoints in safety and tolerability and exploratory endpoints in MSA efficacy parameters with 3 month daily dosing at two different doses. While we complete the set-up of the Phase 2a study in MSA, we will complete at least one animal model study to support advancing IkT-148009 into patients in the fourth quarter of 2022. Dosing of patients with MSA will depend on a positive outcome in animal model studies; if IkT-148009 is not a successful therapy in MSA model studies, the Phase 2a clinical study will not proceed. In this circumstance, the regulatory effort for IkT-148009 in the EU would be applied to future studies of Parkinson's disease efficacy in the EU. The Company plans to pursue orphan drug designation for IkT-148009 to treat Multiple System Atrophy with regulators in the U.S. and Europe.

We have also advanced clinical batch manufacturing and pill formulation for our platform prodrug technology involving IkT-001Pro. Clinical batch manufacturing was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and an IND is planned to be filed in the second quarter of 2022, to include the production of the data package for the final pill formulation.

In the ensuing 12 months, the Company anticipates reporting the full outcomes of its completed Phase 1 study of IkT-148009 in older and elderly healthy subjects, reporting the outcomes of the completed chronic toxicology studies in rats and monkeys for IkT-148009 to enable chronic drug administration in Parkinson's patients, completing a Phase 1b extension study of IkT-148009 in Parkinson's patients and initiating its Phase 2a efficacy study in Parkinson's patients. Advancement of the Company's Phase 2a program in PD with IkT-148009 is subject to review and agreements with the FDA. We further anticipate initiating the Phase 2a clinical study in MSA in the U.S. and EU, subject to a successful model study outcome and agreements with regulatory agencies in the U.S. and EU. Finally, we intend to advance IkT-001Pro through IND filing and initiate clinical development, possibly completing clinical development in 2022.

Our programs utilize small molecule, oral protein kinase inhibitors to treat PD and its GI complications. We have shown in animal models of progressive PD that our lead clinical candidate, IkT-148009, is a brain penetrant Abelson tyrosine kinase, or c-Abl inhibitor, that halts disease progression and reverses functional loss in the brain and reverses neurological dysfunction in the GI tract. We have not yet observed reversal of functional loss in humans. The ability to halt progression and restore function was shown in animal models of progressive disease that mimic the rate of disease progression and the extent of functional loss in the brain and/or the GI tract as found in patients with PD. We believe our therapeutic approach is disease-modifying. Our understanding of how and why PD progresses has led us to believe that functional loss in Parkinson's patients may be at least partially reversed. Based on the measurements in animal models, we believe patients treated with IkT-148009 may have their disease progression slowed or halted, we may see a progressive reduction in the need for symptomatic or supportive therapy and/or we may ultimately eliminate the need for

5

symptomatic therapy. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report"), it is unknown whether the disease modification seen in the animal models will occur in patients following treatment with IkT-148009.

2.
Liquidity

The Company has recognized recurring losses. At March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $34,009,319, an accumulated deficit of $34,458,288, cash of $36,611,167, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4,380,197. The Company had active grants in the amount of $385,888, of which $314,228remained available in accounts held by the U.S. Treasury as of May 3, 2022.

The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to successfully obtain additional working capital, obtain regulatory approval for and successfully launch and commercialize its product candidates and to ultimately attain profitable operations. Prior to its initial public offering in December 2020 ("IPO"), the Company had funded its operations primarily through cash received in connection with revenue from its various grant programs. In addition, in June 2021 and December 2020, the Company raised approximately $41.1million and $14.6million in working capital from its underwritten public offering (the "June 2021 Offering") and its IPO, respectively.

The Company is subject to a variety of risks similar to other early-stage life science companies including, but not limited to, the successful development, regulatory approval, and market acceptance of the Company's product candidates, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, and raising additional working capital. The Company has incurred significant research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses related to its product candidate programs. The Company anticipates costs and expenses to increase in the future as the Company continues to develop its product candidates.

The Company may seek to fund its operations through additional public equity, private equity, or debt financings, as well as other sources. However, the Company may be unable to raise additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. The Company's failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition and the Company's ability to continue to develop its product candidates.

The Company estimates that its working capital at March 31, 2022 is sufficient to fund its normal operations into the third quarter of 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

3.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet was derived from December 31, 2021 audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company's Annual Report filed on SEC Form 10-K.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which prescribes elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IKT Securities Corporation, Inc., which was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in December 2021. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

6

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are generally adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

The Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as the Company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected not to "opt out" of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that it either (i) irrevocably elects to "opt out" of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company utilizes certain estimates in the determination of the fair value of its stock options and warrants, deferred tax valuation allowances and revenue recognition, to record expenses relating to research and development contracts and accrued expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company derived more than 90% of its total revenue from a single source, the United States Government, in the form of federal research grants.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from research and development grants under contracts with third parties that do not create customer-vendor relationships. The Company's research and development grants are non-exchange transactions and are not within the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers("ASC 606"). Contribution revenue earned from activities performed pursuant to research and development grants is reported as grant revenue in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Revenue from these grants is recognized as the Company incurs qualifying expenses as stipulated by the terms of the respective grant. Cash received from grants in advance of incurring qualifying expenses is recorded as deferred revenue. The Company records revenue and a corresponding receivable when qualifying costs are incurred before the grants are received.

Notes Payable

Notes payable outstanding were $0and $248,911at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Revolving Demand Promissory Note

On January 1, 2020, the Company issued a note (the "2020 Note") in the face amount of $103,586bearing 5.25% APR simple interest. The 2020 Note was scheduled to mature on January 1, 2021. Upon occurrence of certain conditions including the sale of a division of the Company or upon the date on which the Company closes on certain financings, the due date for some or all of the unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest may be accelerated. The Company assessed the terms and features of the 2020 Note and determined that none of the terms and features represented embedded derivatives that require bifurcation.

On June 30, 2020, the holder of the 2020 Note and the Company entered into an agreement to settle the 2020 Note early. As full consideration and settlement of the 2020 Note's June 30, 2020 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $106,334, the Company issued a new promissory note to the holder in the amount of $42,534(the "Fifth Restated Note") with substantially similar terms as the 2020 Note. In addition, the holder subscribed for the purchase of 11,594unregistered shares of the Company's common stock at a subscription price of $63,800, or $5.50per share. The issuance of shares under the subscription agreement and the issuance of the Fifth Restated Note satisfied the payoff of the 2020 Note without premium or discount.

The Fifth Restated Note was scheduled to mature on the earlier of a significant transaction, including an initial public offering, sale of substantially all assets or change of control, or January 1, 2021. The Company consummated its IPO on December 28, 2020 and the principal balance of the Fifth Restated Note plus accrued and unpaid interest was settled in full in cash on January 1, 2021.

Note Payable to CEO

On February 5, 2020 (the "Issue Date"), the Company issued a note payable to its CEO (the "CEO Note") in the face amount of $245,250bearing 1.59% APR simple interest in exchange for cash. The net proceeds of $245,250were used as working capital by the Company. The note carried an original maturity of the earlier of the sixth month following the Issue Date or the date the Company has sufficient funds to repay the CEO Note. If an event of default occurred and continued, the Company agreed to issue a warrant to the holder with a strike price of $4.87per share for a number of shares equal to 150% of the value of the loan. The Company assessed the terms and features of the CEO Note and determined that none of the terms and features represented embedded derivatives that require bifurcation.

On June 13, 2020, the holder of the CEO Note and the Company entered into a restated agreement (the "CEO Restated Note"). The CEO Restated Note in the amount of $248,911extended the stated maturity date of the CEO Note from the earlier of the sixth month following the (original) Issue Date or the date the Company has sufficient funds to repay the note to the earlier of the 30th month following the (original) Issue Date or the date the Company has sufficient funds to repay the CEO Restated Note. The Issue Date, February 5, 2020, is unchanged. In addition, the interest rate was reduced, effective as of the Issue Date, from 1.59% APR to 0.25%. The CEO Restated Note also changed the exercise price of the warrant from $4.87to $4.81per share in the case of any default. The other provisions of the CEO Restated Note remained the same, in all material respects, to the CEO Note. The Company and its CEO have agreed that the CEO Restated Note will not be repaid for a minimum of 12 months following the closing of its initial public offering. The principal balance of the CEO note was $248,911at December 31, 2021. The principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest on the CEO Note were settled in full, without adjustment, in cash on January 3, 2022.

The Paycheck Protection Program Loan (the "PPP Loan")

On May 4, 2020 the Company received $27,550in loan proceeds as part of the Federal CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program (the "CARES Act" or "PPP") with a 1% annual interest rate. The loan carried certain provisions to provide that if the Company expended not less than 60% of the loan proceeds on qualified payroll costs, the principal and accrued interest on the loan would be forgiven. The lender and the Small Business Administration determined that the Company met the contractual conditions for forgiveness of the entire PPP Loan plus accrued interest and it was forgiven in 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant, industry-wide delays in clinical trials. There are multiple causes of these delays, including reluctance of patients to enroll or continue in trials for fear of exposure to COVID-19, local and regional shelter-in-place orders and regulations that discourage, hamper, or prohibit patient visits, healthcare providers and health systems shifting away from clinical trials toward the acute care of COVID-19 patients and the FDA and other regulators making product candidates for the treatment of COVID-19 a priority over product candidates unrelated to the pandemic.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, commencement of enrollment in our clinical trials may be delayed. In addition, after enrollment in these trials, if patients contract COVID-19 during participation in the Company's trials or are subject to isolation or shelter-in-place restrictions, this may cause them to drop out of the Company's trials, miss scheduled doses or follow-up visits or otherwise fail to follow trial protocols. If patients are unable to follow the trial protocols or if the Company's trial results are otherwise affected by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient participation or actions taken to mitigate COVID-19 spread, the integrity of data from the Company's trials may be compromised or not accepted by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, which could impact or delay a clinical development program. The Company anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic may also impact manufacturing and distribution of materials necessary for the conductance of its clinical trials.

Although the Company did not experience a material impact on its operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company notes the high level of difficulty in determining the future potential adverse financial impact and other effects of COVID-19 on the Company and its programs, given the rapid and dramatic evolution in the course and impact of the pandemic and the societal and governmental response to it.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. In addition to the estimated loss, the recorded liability would include probable and estimable legal costs associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company's business.

Overview

Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company," "we" or "our") is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, or PD, and related disorders that arise inside and outside of the brain. In 2021, we commenced clinical development of IkT-148009, a small molecule Abelson Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor we believe can modify the course of Parkinson's disease including its manifestation in the gastrointestinal tract, or GI. Results to date of our ongoing Phase 1 Single and Multiple Ascending Dose escalation study (SAD and MAD, respectively) in older and elderly healthy volunteers have revealed important insights into the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IkT-148009 in human subjects. We enrolled 88 subjects in the Phase 1 study. Results from the Phase 1 study have shown that IkT-148009 has a half-life of greater than 24 hours and just a 25 mg once-daily oral dose in older and elderly healthy subjects in our Phase 1 study reached exposures that are consistent with the exposure to the drug that resulted in therapeutic efficacy in animal models of progressive Parkinson's disease. In July 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, agreed with the Company's plan to initiate its Phase 1b study in Parkinson's patients which commenced dosing October 19, 2021, and one cohort of 8 patients have completed the Phase 1b study to date. The Company anticipates initiating Phase 2 studies of IkT-148009 in Parkinson's disease in the second quarter of 2022, subject to agreements with the FDA. Clinical development of IkT-148009 for the GI complications in PD patients will cross-reference the Phase 1 study of IkT-148009 for the treatment of PD. Our efforts in Parkinson's disease are being extended into other Parkinson's-related indications, such as the Orphan Disease Multiple Systems Atrophy, or MSA. Depending on the outcome of animal model studies of MSA, the Company may initiate Phase 2 studies of IkT-148009 in MSA in the fourth quarter of 2022 following regulatory submissions in the U.S. and European Union, or EU. Clinical development of the Company's oncology asset, IkT-001Pro, is anticipated to begin shortly after submission of the Company's Investigational New Drug application, or IND, for IkT-001Pro; submission of the IND is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2022.

Our advancement of the pre-clinical and clinical development program for MSA was benefited by a grant received from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, or NINDS, an Institute of the National Institutes of Health, for $385,888 to fund animal model studies of IkT-148009 as a therapy for MSA. These animal studies are now underway. At the same time, we are preparing regulatory submissions to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and to the FDA to enable a Phase 2a safety and tolerability study in MSA patients in up to 19 sites in the EU, and up to 6 sites in the U.S. involving 60 patients. The proposed clinical Phase 2a study will have primary endpoints in safety and tolerability and exploratory endpoints in MSA efficacy parameters with 3 month daily dosing at two different doses. While we complete the set-up of the Phase 2a study in MSA, we will complete at least one animal model study to support advancing IkT-148009 into patients in the fourth quarter of 2022. Dosing of patients with MSA will depend on a positive outcome in animal model studies; if IkT-148009 is not a successful therapy in MSA model studies, the Phase 2a clinical study will not proceed. In this circumstance, the regulatory effort for IkT-148009 in the EU would be applied to future studies

12

of Parkinson's disease efficacy in the EU. The Company plans to pursue orphan drug designation for IkT-148009 to treat Multiple System Atrophy with regulators in the U.S. and Europe.

We have also advanced clinical batch manufacturing and pill formulation for our platform prodrug technology involving IkT-001Pro. Clinical batch manufacturing was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and an IND is planned to be filed in the second quarter of 2022, to include the production of the data package for the final pill formulation.

In the ensuing 12 months, the Company anticipates reporting the full outcomes of its completed Phase 1 study of IkT-148009 in older and elderly healthy subjects, reporting the outcomes of the completed chronic toxicology studies in rats and monkeys for IkT-148009 to enable chronic drug administration in Parkinson's patients, completing a Phase 1b extension study of IkT-148009 in Parkinson's patients and initiating its Phase 2a efficacy study in Parkinson's patients. Advancement of the Company's Phase 2a program in PD with IkT-148009 is subject to review and agreements with the FDA. We further anticipate initiating the Phase 2a clinical study in MSA in the U.S. and EU, subject to a successful model study outcome and agreements with regulatory agencies in the U.S. and EU. Finally, we intend to advance IkT-001Pro through IND filing and initiate clinical development, possibly completing clinical development in 2022.

Our programs utilize small molecule, oral protein kinase inhibitors to treat PD and its GI complications. We have shown in animal models of progressive PD that our lead clinical candidate, IkT-148009, is a brain penetrant Abelson tyrosine kinase, or c-Abl inhibitor, that halts disease progression and reverses functional loss in the brain and reverses neurological dysfunction in the GI tract. We have not yet observed reversal of functional loss in humans. The ability to halt progression and restore function was shown in animal models of progressive disease that mimic the rate of disease progression and the extent of functional loss in the brain and/or the GI tract as found in patients with PD. We believe our therapeutic approach is disease-modifying. Our understanding of how and why PD progresses has led us to believe that functional loss in Parkinson's patients may be at least partially reversed. Based on the measurements in animal models, we believe patients treated with IkT-148009 may have their disease progression slowed or halted, we may see a progressive reduction in the need for symptomatic or supportive therapy and/or we may ultimately eliminate the need for symptomatic therapy. However, as of the date of this Report, it is unknown whether the disease modification seen in the animal models will occur in patients following treatment with IkT-148009.

Impact of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine

In late February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia and other countries in the region and in the west, including the U.S. Russia's invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia's actions, the larger overarching tensions, and Ukraine's military response and the potential for wider conflict have resulted in financial market volatility and capital markets disruption, potentially increasing in magnitude, and could have severe adverse effects on regional and global economic markets and international relations. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.

Following Russia's actions, various countries, including the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. Such sanctions included, among other things, a prohibition on doing business with certain Russian companies, officials and oligarchs; a commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) electronic banking network that connects banks globally; a ban on Russian oil and gas imports to the U.S.; and restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. The current sanctions (and potential further sanctions in response to continued Russian military activity) and other actions may have adverse effects on regional and global economic markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds and increasing the volatility of our stock price. Any of the abovementioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating

13

results.

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development activities account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. We record research and development expenses as incurred. Research and development expenses incurred by us for the discovery and development of our product candidates and prodrug technologies include:

external research and development expenses, including: expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as CROs, preclinical testing organizations, clinical testing organizations, CMOs, academic and non-profit institutions and consultants;
fees related to our license and collaboration agreements;
personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and
other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for laboratory, facilities and other costs.

A portion of our research and development expenses are direct external expenses, which we track on a program-specific basis from inception of the program.

Program expenses include expenses associated with our most advanced product candidates and the discovery and development of compounds that are potential future candidates. We also track external expenses associated with our third-party research and development efforts. All external costs are tracked by therapeutic indication. We do not track personnel or other operating expenses incurred for our research and development programs on a program-specific basis. These expenses primarily relate to salaries and benefits and stock-based compensation and office consumables.

At this time, we can only estimate the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of, and obtain regulatory approval for, any of our product candidates. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from sales or licensing of our product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with drug development, including the uncertainty of:

our ability to add and retain key research and development personnel and other key employees;
our ability to successfully file investigational new drug ("IND") and new drug applications ("NDA") with the FDA;
our ability to conduct and continue trials;
our ability to commence future trials;
our ability to establish an appropriate safety profile with IND-enabling toxicology studies;
our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and then successfully commercialize our product candidates;
our successful enrollment in and completion of our current and future clinical trials;
the costs associated with the development of any additional product candidates we identify in-house or acquire through collaborations;
our ability to discover, develop and utilize biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement, pathway engagement and the impact on disease progression of our molecules;
our ability to establish agreements with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for any future clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, if our product candidates are approved;
the terms and timing of any collaboration, license or other arrangement, including the terms and timing of any milestone payments thereunder;

14

our ability to obtain and maintain patent, trade secret and other intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates if and when approved;
our receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
the impact of the COVID-19;
our ability to commercialize products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; and
the continued acceptable safety profiles of the product candidates following approval.

A change in any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates would significantly change the costs, timing and viability associated with the development of that product candidate. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the next several years as we continue to implement our business strategy, advance our current programs, expand our research and development efforts, seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, access and develop additional product candidates and incur expenses associated with hiring additional personnel to support our research and development efforts. In addition, product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally incur higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, expenses for outside professional services and allocated expenses. Outside professional services consist of legal, accounting and audit services, investor relations services and other consulting fees. Allocated expenses consist of rent expenses related to our offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia not otherwise included in research and development expenses.

We are incurring additional expenses as compared to when we were a private company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and those of Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also are increasing our administrative headcount as a public company and as we advance our product candidates through clinical development, which will also likely require us to increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.

Grant Revenue

Grant revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, decreased by $(1,361,134) or (97)% to $46,031 from $1,407,165 in the prior year comparable period. During 2022, the Company's focus was shifted toward advancing its Phase I clinical trial which did not result in significant grant revenue. The Company is utilizing its increased working capital and personnel resources in 2022 to carry on its Phase I clinical trial in addition to its grant research activity.

15

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $585,131 or 24% to $3,016,991 from $2,431,860 in the prior year comparable period. The increase was driven by a $2.1 million increase in non-grant related research offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in grant related research expenditures and a decrease of $0.4 million in non-cash stock compensation expense. The non-grant related research was expended primarily in connection with the Company's Phase I PD clinical trial.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $69,060 or 4% to $1,669,636 from $1,600,576 in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily from increased headcount resulting in increased compensation expense of $0.2 million, increased legal fees, board fees, investor relation and consulting fees of $0.1 million and a net increase of $0.17 million for other normal operating expenses offset by decreased non-cash stock based compensation expense of $0.37 million .

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $11,792 or (100)% to $5 from $11,797 in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was driven by the full settlement of the CEO Note on January 3, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

From our inception up until our December 2020 Initial Public Offering, we funded our operations primarily through private, state and federal contracts and grants. From our inception through March 31, 2022, we generated aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $23.5 million from private, state and federal contracts and grants. In June 2021 and December 2020, the Company raised approximately $41.1 million and $14.6 million in working capital from its underwritten public offering (the "June 2021 Offering") and its initial public offering in December 2020 ("IPO"), respectively.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $34,009,319, an accumulated deficit of $34,458,288, cash of $36,611,167, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4,380,197 The Company had active grants in the amount of $385,888, of which $314,228 remained available in accounts held by the U.S. Treasury as of May 3, 2022.

Future Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of commercial products. We do not expect to generate any significant revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and successfully commercialize any of our product candidates and we do not know when, or if, this will occur. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect the losses to increase as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and begin to commercialize any future approved products. We are subject to all of the risks typically related to the development of new product candidates, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. Moreover, following the completion of the IPO, we incurred additional costs associated with operating as a public company. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations beyond the third quarter of 2023.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our incremental cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, working capital lines of credit, grant funding and potential licenses and collaboration agreements. Additional working capital may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, reduce or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, it could result in dilution to our existing stockholders, increased fixed payment obligations and the existence of securities with rights that may be senior to those of our common stock. If we incur indebtedness, we could become subject to covenants that would restrict our operations and potentially impair our competitiveness, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, any future collaborations we enter into with third parties may provide capital in the near term but limit our potential cash

16

flow and revenue in the future. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have an accumulated deficit of $34,458,288 at March 31, 2022. We expect to incur substantial additional losses in the future as we conduct and expand our research and development activities.

We may seek to fund our operations through public equity or private equity or debt financings, as well as other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional working capital, or if we are able to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to continue to develop our product candidates.

The Company had working capital of $34,009,319 at March 31, 2022 and active grants in the amount of $385,888, of which $314,228 remained available in accounts held by the U.S. Treasury as of May 3, 2022. The Company estimates that its working capital at March 31, 2022 is sufficient to fund its normal operations into the third quarter of 2023.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

The expected use of the net proceeds from our June 2021 Offering and IPO represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. However, we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our working capital sooner than planned.

The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:

the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;
the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;
possible delays or interruptions to preclinical studies, clinical trials, our receipt of services from our third-party service providers on whom we rely, or our supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic;
the progress of the development efforts of third parties with whom we have entered into license and collaboration agreements;
our ability to maintain our current research and development programs and to establish new research and development, license or collaboration arrangements;
our ability and success in securing manufacturing relationships with third parties or, in the future, in establishing and operating a manufacturing facility;
the costs involved in prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property claims;
the cost and timing of regulatory approvals;
our efforts to enhance operational, financial and information management systems and hire additional personnel, including personnel to support development of our product candidates; and
the costs and ongoing investments to in-license and/or acquire additional technologies.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. Furthermore, our operating plans may change in the future, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such operating plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In June 2018, the Company entered into a one-year, non-cancelable operating lease for space in Boston, Massachusetts. The total lease obligation was $54,000, payable in 12 equal monthly installments commencing August 1, 2018. On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for its office space in Lexington, Massachusetts to replace the office space in Boston, Massachusetts for the period from June 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The lease contains escalating payments during the lease period. Upon execution of this lease agreement, the Company prepaid one month of rent, applied to the first month's rent, and a security deposit, which will be held in escrow and credited at the termination of the lease. Our total lease obligation is $447,090 consisting of minimum annual rental obligations of $60,322 for fiscal year 2022, $146,546 for fiscal year 2023, $150,804 for fiscal year 2024 and $89,418 for fiscal year 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are

18

reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates.

Research and Development Expenses

We record research and development expenses to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses represent costs incurred by us for the discovery and development of our product candidates and the development of our RAMP™ drug discovery program and prodrug technologies and include: employee-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expense; external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as CROs, preclinical testing organizations, clinical testing organizations, CMOs, academic and non-profit institutions and consultants; costs to acquire technologies to be used in research and development that have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use; license fees; and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for laboratory, facilities and other costs.

As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we are required to estimate and accrue expenses. A portion of our research and development expenses are external costs, which we track on a program-specific basis. We record the estimated expenses of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers as they are incurred and provided within research and development expense in the statements of operations. These services include the conduct of clinical studies, preclinical studies and consulting services. These costs are a significant component of our research and development expenses.

Costs for research and development activities are recognized based on costs incurred. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued estimates. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed may vary from our estimates and could result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. Our accrued expenses are dependent, in part, upon the receipt of timely and accurate reporting from external clinical research organizations and other third-party service providers. Due to the nature of estimates, we cannot assure you that we will not make changes to our estimates in the future as we become aware of additional information about the status or conduct of our clinical trials and other research activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure regarding quantitative and qualitative market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
