Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Resverlogix Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Resverlogix Corp. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred significant losses to date, and with no assumption of revenues, is dependent on its ability to raise additional financial capital if it is to remain as a going concern.
As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our auditor's report.
Evaluation of the Fair Value of Royalty Preferred Shares
Refer to consolidated financial statement Note 5: Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions and Note 11: Royalty preferred shares
The Company records royalty preferred shares at fair value, which is $52.1 million as at December 31, 2025. The determination of the fair value of the royalty preferred shares includes significant assumptions regarding the timing and amount of future cash flows derived from revenues of products currently under development and the discount rate applied to those cash flows. The Company utilizes an internal valuation model to determine the fair
value of the royalty preferred shares.
We considered the valuation of royalty preferred shares to be a key audit matter due to its complexity and heightened estimation uncertainty. Management employed significant assumptions in the internal valuation model which are based on unobservable direct inputs such as the timing and duration of clinical trials, the probability of successful product approval by regulatory authorities, potential patient populations, expected pricing, and the discount rate applied to the expected cash flows.
How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of the fair value of royalty preferred shares included the following, among others:
Obtained an understanding of the royalty preferred shares valuation model by discussing the methodology, data inputs, and significant assumptions with management.
Evaluated the reasonableness of the timing and amount of future revenues used in the valuation model by inspecting market data and other publicly-available information from industry experts and health authorities.
Performed sensitivity analysis to assess how changes in significant assumptions would impact the valuation model.
Involved internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the methodology employed by management in the determination of the discount rates applied in the valuation model and developing independent ranges for management's discount rate assumptions using publicly available market data for comparable companies.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purpose of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Danny Tomassini.

General information
Resverlogix Corp. (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Canada. The annual consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Resverlogix Inc. (together referred to as "Resverlogix" or the "Group"). Resverlogix Corp. is incorporated under the laws of Alberta. Resverlogix Inc. is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company's head office is located at Suite 300, 4820 Richard Road S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T3E 6L1. The registered and records office is located at Suite 600, 815 - 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3P2.
Resverlogix is developing apabetalone (RVX-208), a first-in-class, small molecule that is a selective BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) inhibitor. BET bromodomain inhibition is an epigenetic mechanism that can regulate disease-causing genes. Apabetalone is a BET inhibitor selective for the second bromodomain ("BD2") within the BET proteins. This selective inhibition of apabetalone on BD2 produces a specific set of biological effects with potentially important benefits for patients with chronic disease including cardiovascular disease ("CVD") and associated comorbidities, and post-COVID-19 conditions. Apabetalone is the only selective BET bromodomain inhibitor in human clinical trials. Apabetalone was studied in a Phase 3 trial, BETonMACE, in 13 countries worldwide, in high-risk CVD patients with type 2 DM and low high-density lipoprotein ("HDL"). The Company's Phase 3 trial, BETonMACE, did not meet its primary endpoint but generated encouraging positive results in key secondary endpoints and the Company intends to continue the development of apabetalone when the requisite funding can be secured. Based on the results of the BETonMACE study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation ("BTD") for apabetalone in combination with top standard of care, including high-intensity statins, for the secondary prevention of major adverse cardiac events ("MACE") in patients with type 2 DM and recent acute coronary syndrome ("ACS"). The achievement of BTD has the potential to expedite apabetalone's clinical development program through more intensive FDA guidance. The Company is considered to be in the development stage, as most of its efforts have been devoted to research and development and it has not earned any revenue to date.
Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as prescribed by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 10, 2026.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for liability classified warrants, liability classified royalty preferred shares and derivative liability, which are measured at fair value each reporting period.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of all entities within the Group is the US dollar, which is also the presentation currency. All financial information presented in dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand except for per share amounts.
Going concern
The success of the Company is dependent on the continuation of its research and development activities, progressing the core technologies through clinical trials to commercialization or a strategic partnership, and its ability to obtain additional financing. It is not possible to predict the outcome of future research and development programs, the Company's ability to fund these programs in the future, or to secure a strategic partnership, or the commercialization of products by the Company. To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. The Company has incurred significant losses to date, and with no assumption of revenues, is dependent on its ability to raise additional financial capital by continuing to demonstrate the successful progression of its research and development activities if it is to remain as a going concern.
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had $0.1 million of cash. The Company needs to raise additional capital to fund research, development and corporate activities over the next year or it may be forced to cease operations. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was committed to pay $18.2 million of current trade and other payables (including $13.0 million owing to EVERSANA Life Science Services, LLC ("EVERSANA")), $11.9 million to Zenith Capital Corp. (a related party) ("Zenith") (due four months following demand), $0.8 million of other unsecured promissory notes (due upon demand or four months following demand, respectively), up to $0.3 million for research and development commitments, and $0.3 million of operating lease expense over the next twelve months. Furthermore, the Company's $8.1 million secured debt with Shenzhen Hepalink Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
3. Going concern (continued)
("Hepalink") is due on May 13, 2026. The Company also has other commitments as outlined in Note 14. In addition, expenditures over the next twelve months under a cancellable agreement with a contract research organization in respect of planned clinical development are estimated to total approximately $2.6 million. As at December 31, 2025, the Group is also party to a commercialization partnership (refer to Note 13); the parties mutually agreed to pause services and the Group is not obligated as at December 31, 2025 to incur pre-commercialization costs over the next twelve months. The parties may or may not resume services over the next twelve months.
The Company's cash as at December 31, 2025 is not sufficient to fund the Company's contractual commitments or the Company's planned business operations over the next year. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Zenith advanced the Company $4.3 million; there is no assurance that Zenith will advance further amounts to the Company. The Company will have to raise additional capital to fund its contractual commitments and its planned business operations. The Company continues to pursue and/or examine several sources of additional capital including co-development, licensing, rights or other partnering arrangements, procurement arrangements, private placements and/or public offerings (equity and/or debt). However, there is no assurance that any of these measures will be successful. The Company will also require additional capital to fund research, development and corporate activities beyond the next year. The Company will continue to explore alternatives to generate additional cash including raising additional equity and/or debt and/or partnering; however, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
These conditions result in a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not able to raise capital, the Company may be forced to cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include necessary adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and such adjustments could be material.
4. Material accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company's subsidiary.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Resverlogix Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Company achieves control when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with an entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Company considers its voting and contractual rights and all other relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has the power to direct the relevant activities of an entity.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial instruments
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. In the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, the financial asset is initially measured at fair value plus or minus transaction costs. Under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9"), financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), or fair value through

(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
4. Material accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"). The classification is based on two criteria: the Group's business model for managing the assets; and whether the financial asset's contractual cash flows represent 'solely payments of principal and interest' on the principal amount outstanding (the 'SPPI criterion').
The Group's financial assets include cash, due from Zenith Capital Corp., and deposits. The classification and measurement of these financial assets are at amortized cost, as these assets are held within the Group's business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, except as noted in the table below. The Group's financials liabilities are classified and measured as follows:
Financial Liability | Classification | Measurement |
Trade and other payables | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
Accrued interest | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
Promissory notes payables to Zenith Capital Corp. | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
Other promissory notes | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
Warrant liability | FVTPL | Fair value |
Debt | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
Other long-term liability | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
Royalty preferred shares | FVTPL | Fair value |
Impairment |
Under IFRS 9, accounting for impairment losses for financial assets uses a forward-looking expected credit loss ("ECL") approach.
IFRS 9 requires that a loss allowance is recorded for ECLs on all financial assets not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset's original effective interest rate.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. In determining the fair value measurement of the Group's financial instruments, the related inputs used in measuring fair value are prioritized according to the following hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.
The fair value of the warrant liability and the derivative liability is based on level 2 (significant observable) and level 3 (unobservable) inputs. The fair value of the royalty preferred shares is based on level 3 inputs. There have been no transfers between these levels in the current year or the prior year.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets is impaired.
Intangible assets may be impaired when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels (cash-generating units or "CGU") for which there are separately identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or CGUs. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant assets or CGU). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
Material accounting policies (continued)
Impairment (continued)
The Group re-evaluates impairment losses for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of any depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Clinical supplies
Clinical supplies consist of apabetalone (drug substance or capsules). Expenditures on clinical supplies are initially capitalized when incurred, and the expense is recognized at a future date when the supplies are used. They are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value (based on replacement cost), and these costs are recognized as the clinical supplies are consumed in research and development activities in the statement of comprehensive loss or when the clinical supplies are no longer expected to be used in clinical trials. The clinical supplies that are not expected to be consumed in research and development activities in the next twelve months are classified as non-current clinical supplies.
Intangible assets
Research and development
Expenditures on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, are charged as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. There are no capitalized internally generated intangible assets.
Other intangible assets, subsequent expenditures, and amortization
Separately acquired patents have a finite useful life and are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The major categories of intangibles assets are depreciated as follows:
Asset | Method | Rate |
Patents and intellectual property Leases | Straight line | 20-24 years |
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether such a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. A right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying assets or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
4. Material accounting policies (continued)
Leases (continued)
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in a rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate or the amount expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination period.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the statement of comprehensive (income) loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately in the statement of financial position.
Short-term leases are classified as operating leases and are expensed as incurred.
Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees, officers, and directors is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
The fair value of the Company's share-based payment awards is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the share price on the measurement date, the exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on an evaluation of the Company's historic volatility, particularly over the historic period commensurate with the expected term), expected term of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.
Any consideration received upon exercise of the options and similar instruments together with the amount of non-cash compensation cost recognized in contributed surplus is recorded as an increase in common shares. Restricted stock units that are settled net of required tax withholdings are classified entirely as equity-settled transactions.
Government grants
Grants resulting from government assistance programs, including investment tax credits for research and development expenditures, are reflected as reductions of the cost of the assets or expenditures to which they relate at the time the assistance becomes receivable.
Finance income and costs
Finance income and costs is comprised of interest income on funds invested, accretion and interest expense on loans outstanding, and fair value gains (losses) on financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Interest is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax

(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
4. Material accounting policies (continued)
Income tax (continued)
asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Share capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares or options are recognized as a deduction from equity.
Earnings per share
Basic (earnings) loss per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net (earnings) loss for the period attributable to equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive instruments. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect of issued instruments (stock options, restricted stock units and warrants). This method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money instruments are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price for the period.
Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
Application of new standards amendments issued
The Company applied for the first time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21, which impact entities that have transactions or operations in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at a measurement date for a specified purpose. A currency is exchangeable when there is an ability to obtain the other currency, and the transaction would take place through a market or exchange mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations. The Company does not have any transactions or operations in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable to its functional currency. Consequently, the application of this amendments has not had any impact on the accounting policies disclosed by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The following are new IFRS pronouncements that have been issued, that are not yet effective, that have not been early adopted, and that may have an impact on the Group in the future, as discussed below.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards
In July 2024, the IASB issued Annual improvements to IFRS - Volume 11 (Amendments to IFRS 1, 7, 9, 10 and IAS 7) to add clarity to the standards. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.
The Company expects that the amendments, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Material accounting policies (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 - Financial Instrument: Disclosures
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments modify the following requirements in IFRS 9 and IFRS 7:
Derecognition of financial liabilities settled through electronic transfers.
Elements of interest in a basic leading arrangement (the solely payments of principal and interest assessments 'SPPI test').
Contractual terms that change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows.
Financial assets with non-recourse features.
Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed. The Company expects that the amendments, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
New accounting standard: IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB published IFRS 18 to replace IAS 1, which sets out significant new requirements for how financial statements are presented, with particular focus on:
The statement of profit or loss, including requirements for mandatory sub-totals to be presented.
Aggregation and disaggregation of information, including the introduction of overall principles for how information should be aggregated and disaggregated in financial statements.
Disclosures related to management-defined performance measures (MPMs), which are measures of financial performance based on a total or sub-total required by IFRS accounting standards with adjustment made. Entities will be required to disclose MPMs in the financial statements with disclosures, including reconciliations of MPMs to the nearest total or sub-total calculated in accordance with IFRS accounting standards.
The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed. The Company expects that the new standard, when initially applied, will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements and anticipates that several areas will be affected. In particular, the Company expects that its consolidated statements of comprehensive loss will require further disaggregation, including the addition of new subtotals not currently presented and the potential for additional categories of operating expenses requiring disclosure on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company also expects its consolidated statements of cash flows will be impacted by the application of IFRS 18, since it applies the indirect method for presenting its consolidated statements of cash flows, whereby net income will no longer be the starting point, which is expected to be replaced by operating profit. Further, management-defined performance measures ("MPMs") will be required to be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with similar performance measures currently disclosed and reconciled in management's discussion and analysis.
New accounting standard: IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures
In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19. This standard permits eligible subsidiaries without public accountability to apply reduced disclosure requirements while applying the recognition, measurement, and presentation requirements in IFRS. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.
The Company expects that the new standard, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and notes. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant judgements and estimates made by management affecting the consolidated financial statements include:
Royalty preferred shares
The Company uses significant judgments related to the fair value measurement of the royalty preferred shares. The fair value measurement requires management to exercise judgment concerning discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, including the timing and amounts of discounted future net cash flows. The assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for the royalty preferred shares are disclosed in Note 11.
Share-based payment transactions
The Company measures share-based payment transactions by reference to the fair value of the stock options at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the expected life of the option, volatility and forfeitures. The assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 12.
Warrant liability
The Company measures the initial warrant liability and subsequent revaluations of the warrant liability by reference to the fair value of the warrants at the date at which they were issued and subsequently revalues them at each reporting date. Estimating fair value for these warrants requires management to determine the most appropriate valuation model. This estimate also requires management to make significant judgments about the capacity in which warrant holders receive warrants, and to make assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the warrants, volatility and dividend yield. The assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for the warrant liability are disclosed in Note 12 (e).
Derivative liability
The Company's secured convertible debenture was a hybrid instrument consisting of a financial instrument and an embedded derivative, being the conversion option. The embedded derivative was separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative were not closely related. The conversion option contained a variable conversion price and the conversion price was denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, conversion would result in a variable number of shares of the Company being issued at conversion; as such, the conversion feature was classified as a derivative liability at fair value through profit or loss. The embedded conversion option was measured at fair value by third party valuation specialists using an industry standard methodology. The methodology required management and its third party valuation specialists to make significant judgments about the value of the redemptive feature within the convertible debenture including the appropriate credit spread and volatility for the Company at each valuation date.
Financial risk management
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
liquidity risk;
market risk; and
credit risk.
Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework, including the development and monitoring of the Group's risk management policies. The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.

Financial risk management (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's objective in managing liquidity is to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
The future cash requirements of the Group are estimated and reviewed periodically by the Company's Board of Directors. Spending is monitored regularly by management and reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors quarterly.
The Group's exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on its research and development programs and associated commitments and obligations, and the raising of capital. The Group relies on external financing to support its operations. To date, the programs have been funded primarily through the sale of common shares and warrants, term loans, convertible debentures and the exercise of common share purchase warrants. Management constantly monitors capital markets. There are no assurances that funds will be available to the Group when required (also see Note 3). The Group holds cash on deposit; as at December 31, 2025, the Group's cash is not subject to any external restrictions. The Group also continuously monitors actual and projected expenditures and cash flows. The Company's commitments are disclosed in Note 14.
The Company has not complied fully with the payment terms associated with certain amounts owing to certain vendors. Until the Company fully satisfies its obligations, it is possible that the vendors could assert that the Company is in default and could pursue any remedies available to them.
The table below presents a maturity analysis of the Company's financial liabilities on the expected cash flows from December 31, 2025 to the contractual maturity date. The amounts are equivalent to the following contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group's entities. The currency in which these foreign transactions primarily are denominated in is the Canadian dollar. The Group is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its Canadian dollar denominated cash. The Group manages its exposure to currency fluctuations by holding cash denominated in Canadian dollars in a certain ratio equivalent to current and anticipated Canadian dollar financial liabilities.
The Group has no forward exchange contract to manage its foreign currency risk. As at December 31, 2025, the Group had Canadian dollar denominated assets and liabilities of: cash in the amount of CAD$0.1 million (2024 - CAD$0.1 million), accounts receivable in the amount of CAD$0.01 million (2024 - CAD$0.01 million), accounts payable in the amount of CAD$2.5 million (2024 - CAD$1.7 million), and promissory notes in the amount of CAD$0.3 million (2024 - CAD$0.3 million). An increase of
$0.01 in the CAD to USD exchange rate as measured on December 31, 2025 would result in a foreign currency loss of $0.04 million (2024 - $0.03 million).
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
Financial risk management (continued)
Market risk (continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk due to the fixed rate nature of the interest on its debt and certain promissory notes.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to credit risk consist primarily of cash.
The Group manages its cash in accordance with an investment policy that established guidelines for investment eligibility, credit quality, liquidity and foreign currency exposure. The Group manages its exposure to credit loss by holding cash on deposit with major financial institutions.
As at December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of the Group's cash and Other assets approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

On May 13, 2021, the Company closed a US$6.0 million secured convertible debenture (the "Debenture") with Shenzhen Hepalink Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Hepalink"). The Debenture bears interest at 18% per annum and matures on May 13, 2026. The Company and Hepalink are in discussions regarding extending the maturity date of the Debenture. The Company granted Hepalink a security interest in all of its assets, including its patents and other intellectual property, as security for its obligations under the Debenture.
Amendment and extension of the Debenture
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the maturity date of the Debenture, and the corresponding payment date of interest thereon, were both extended by two years from May 13, 2024 to May 13, 2026. In connection with the extension, Hepalink's conversion privileges have been eliminated and the interest rate has been amended from 12% to 18% per annum, commencing on May 14, 2024. With the removal of the conversion privilege and the increase in interest rate, the terms of the amended Debenture were substantially different. As such, the May 13, 2024 amendment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The
$2.13 million accrued interest as at May 13, 2024 was reclassed from Accrued interest to be part of the new Debt liability principal (according to a substance over form evaluation of the new liability). The fair value of the new liability was determined using a market interest rate of 18%. No gain or loss was recognized on debt extinguishment on the May 13, 2024 amendment date given that the carrying value of the old debt liability was equal to the $6.0 million principal amount (the Debenture had been fully accreted), and the fair value of the new debt liability was equal to the $8.13 million principal amount (the combined amount of the $6.0 million principal and the $2.13 million of accrued interest).
Prior to the amendment on May 13, 2024, Hepalink was able to elect to convert the principal amount of the Debenture and accrued and unpaid interest thereon into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of CAD$0.93 per share and the 5-day volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the date of conversion. Prior to the amendment on May 13, 2024 (when the conversion privileges were eliminated), the secured convertible debenture was a hybrid instrument consisting of a financial instrument and an embedded derivative, being the conversion option. The embedded derivative was separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative were not closely related. The Company also issued 300,000 warrants to Hepalink in connection with the Debenture. Each warrant was exercisable at a price of CAD$0.93 per underlying common share for a period of four years from the grant date. An exercise of warrants with an exercise price denominated in a foreign currency would result in a variable amount of cash for a fixed number of shares; as such, the warrants were presented as a current liability. On initial recognition, the warrants were valued at $0.1 million; this initial value of the warrant liability was accreted over the term of the Debenture (prior to the May 14, 2024 amendment).
The conversion option contained a variable conversion price and the conversion price was denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, conversion would result in a variable number of shares of the Company being issued at conversion; as such, the conversion feature had been classified as a derivative liability at fair value through profit or loss. It was valued at $0.3 million at the date of issuance; this initial value of the conversion option derivative was accreted over the term of the Debenture (prior to the May 13, 2024 amendment). The conversion option was revalued at $0.2 million as at December 31, 2023, and was revalued at $Nil as at the May 13, 2024 amendment. On initial recognition, on December 31, 2023, and on May 13, 2024, the embedded conversion option was measured at fair value by using an industry standard methodology for convertible securities. Subsequent to initial recognition, any change in fair value was recognized in profit or loss at each reporting date. During the year ended December 31, 2024, a $0.2 million gain was recognized for revaluing the derivative liability.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 75,202,620 royalty preferred shares outstanding, all of which were held by Zenith. Resverlogix and Zenith have several directors and officers in common, and thus are considered related parties. For fair value measurement purposes, the royalty preferred shares liability has been categorized within level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares is based on management's judgments, estimates and assumptions which include significant unobservable inputs including the timing and amounts of the Company's discounted future net cash flows. The estimate incorporates the following assumptions: an average cumulative probability rate of generating forecasted future cash flows of 41% as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 41%) reflecting in each case, among other factors, the Company's clinical results, in particular the results of BETonMACE, and communication with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and other regulatory bodies; a discount rate of 24.6% as at
December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 24.3%); projected commencement of revenue beginning between late-2029 and early-2030 (based on projected clinical development paths across various jurisdictions, which is based substantially on securing the requisite funding from a partnership or other source(s) of capital by mid-2026) as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - between mid-2028 and late-2028); and projected apabetalone market share percentages and projected product pricing.
The estimated fair value of royalty preferred shares in the current period was affected by the commencement of revenue estimation update, offset by the passage of time (to future cash flows based on the estimated timing and commencement of revenue).
The estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares is subject to significant volatility. Small changes in the aforementioned assumptions may have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares. For instance, holding all other assumptions constant: a 1% increase in the discount rate would result in a $3.6 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares; assuming commencement of revenue one year later would result in a $12.9 million decrease in the estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares; a 0.5% increase in the growth rate of the patient population would result in a $4.3 million increase in the estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares; and a 1% increase in the probability rate of generating forecasted future cash flows would result in a $1.5 million increase in the estimated fair value of the royalty preferred shares.

The Company's amended stock option plan has been approved as a rolling 10% plan that allows for reservation of a number of common shares under the plan equal to 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on an undiluted basis. Additionally, the plan is a reloading plan, which allows for the number of common shares reserved for issuance related to the options under the plan to automatically become eligible to be reallocated pursuant to stock option-based grants upon option expiry, cancellation or exercise. The Company may grant options to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The majority of options fully vest over one to three years and have a five-year term. The options are settled by way of the issuance of equity instruments of the Company ("equity-settled").

Restricted stock units
The Company's long term incentive plan allows for the reservation of a number of common shares not to exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on an undiluted basis less the number of common shares reserved under the Company's amended stock option plan. The Company may grant restricted stock units ("RSUs") to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. RSUs are settled on exercise through the issuance of common shares.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, 7,782,800 RSUs were granted (2024 - 7,270,667 RSUs were granted). The RSUs vest over a period of zero to six months. The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 1,000,000 RSUs were granted to a vendor to settle trade payables of $0.04 million; the grant date fair value (equal to the closing stock price on the grant date) of the 1,000,000 RSUs was
$0.07 million (recognized in share capital), resulting in a loss on payables extinguishment of $0.03 million (recognized in profit or loss).

Under IFRS, the prescribed accounting treatment for warrants, with an exercise price denominated in a foreign currency, is to treat these warrants as a liability measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value each reporting period accounted for through profit or loss. The initial fair value of these warrants is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
The Company's warrants are presented as a current liability on the consolidated statements of financial position. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company. The fair value of the warrants not publicly listed is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model at initial issue date and at each reporting period. As these warrants are exercised, the fair value of the recorded warrant liability on the date of exercise is included in share capital along with the proceeds from the exercise. If these warrants expire, the related decrease in warrant liability is recognized in profit or loss, as part of the change in fair value of warrant liability.

Shareholders' deficiency (continued)
Warrant liability (continued)
The changes in fair value of the unlisted liability-classified warrants were based on several factors including changes in the market price of the Company's shares to CAD$0.10 on December 31, 2025 from CAD$0.055 on December 31, 2024, and CAD$0.07 on December 31, 2023, as well as decreases in the remaining terms of the various series of warrants, and changes in estimated future volatility of our common shares which represents a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the warrants is subject to significant volatility. Gains and losses resulting from the revaluation of warrant liability are non-cash and do not impact the Company's cash flows.
There were no warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 - no warrants were issued).
Per share amounts
The basic and diluted net loss per share have been calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding:
2025
2024
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted
285,132,726
276,604,076
The effect of any potential exercise of convertible debenture, warrants, stock options, restricted stock units, and deferred share units outstanding is excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share in periods where the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Partnership with EVERSANA
In June 2021, the Company entered into a partnership with EVERSANA Life Science Services, LLC ("EVERSANA"). EVERSANA supported the planned commercialization of apabetalone for the treatment of COVID-19 in the United States, Canada and any other countries agreed upon in the future as Emergency Use Authorization and/or a New Drug Application or equivalent if issued or approved in said countries. EVERSANA provides fully integrated commercialization services including market access, agency services, clinical and commercial field teams, medical science liaisons, channel management, patient services, health economics and outcomes research, and compliance.
In April 2022, the Company and EVERSANA expanded its partnership to include cardiovascular and pulmonary arterial hypertension indications (the "Amendment"). In connection with the Amendment, if the Company and EVERSANA had not launched a product by July 1, 2022, the Company will make monthly payments to EVERSANA, commencing in July 2022, equal to 50% of the deferred fees for the corresponding month twelve months prior. The Company has not yet made any such payments.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, except for number of shares)
Expenses by nature (continued)
Prior to 2024, EVERSANA completed pre-commercialization activities in the amount of $10.5 million, with 25% (and up to 50% in the future) of the fees earned being deferred. The April 2022 Amendment decreased the portion of fees that are deferred fees to
$1.3 million. During the periods when the pre-commercialization fees were incurred, discounts were recognized as an offset to the long-term deferred fees liability and to pre-commercialization expenses to reflect the financing component of the deferred fees. The discount will be accreted over the term that is projected until settlement. As at December 31, 2024, the long-term deferred fees liability was remeasured to reflect a change in cash flow estimate (incorporating a time extension when the deferred fees will become due); a $0.1 million gain on remeasurement of other long-term liability was recognized in relation to this change in estimate. At December 31, 2025, the long-term deferred fees liability was remeasured to reflect a change in cash flow estimate (incorporating a time extension when the deferred fees will become due); a $0.2 million gain on remeasurement of other longterm liability was recognized in relation to this change in estimate. At December 31, 2025, $0.8 million of net deferred fees ($1.3 million face value, net of a $0.5 million cumulative discount net of accretion) is included as Other long-term liability on the statement of financial position and are due when the Company generates subsequent apabetalone sales in applicable indications.
As at December 31, 2025, Trade and other payables includes $13.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $11.7 million) owing to EVERSANA; amounts owing to EVERSANA bear interest at 7.25% per annum.
EVERSANA shall also be entitled to profit sharing in the amount of 3.0 - 4.5% of apabetalone sales in applicable indications in the United States and Canada during the five-year term of the partnership (commencing upon commercial launch). The Company and EVERSANA mutually agreed to pause services; the Company anticipates resuming at a later date. The Company is not obligated as at December 31, 2025 to incur pre-commercialization costs over the next twelve months. The parties may or may not resume services over the next twelve months.
