We
may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place
undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions, and expectations
disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2025 Form 10-K”), for the
year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 30, 2026, and have identified other
factors such as the results of our clinical trials, and the impact of competition, that we believe could cause actual results or events
to differ materially from the forward-statements that we make. Furthermore, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment.
New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could
have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

You
should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we file with the SEC with the understanding that our actual future
results may be materially different from what we expect. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations.
These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations
include, among other things, those listed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those listed under the Risk Factors section
of our 2025 Form 10-K. You may access our 2025 Form 10-K under the investor SEC filings tab of our website at www.lanternpharma.com or
on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions
of future events. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this Quarterly
Report, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

 

On May 13, 2026, we announced
plans to create an independent business entity composed of the AI platform, withZeta.ai, and related technologies and personnel under
the leadership of our CEO Mr. Panna Sharma. We intend to separate the withZeta.ai assets and technologies into an independent business
entity in order to access dedicated funding sources and potentially realize valuation multiples separate from our primary drug development
operations, which such entity we anticipate will become a newly listed company on a national stock exchange or market. However, there
can be no assurance that we will be successful in advancing and obtaining funding for the new entity and there can be no assurance that
any such entity will realize commercial success. Our withZeta.ai platform is in its early stage of commercial development and is subject
to all of the risks of a new start-up business activity.

 

In
addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These
statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such
information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be
read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These
statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

 

Unless
the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Lantern,” “we,” “us,” and
“our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Lantern Pharma Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note
1. Organization, Principal Activities, and Basis of Presentation

 

Lantern
Pharma Inc., and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is an artificial intelligence (A.I.) focused company dedicated to developing
cancer therapies and transforming the cost, pace, and timeline of oncology drug discovery and development. The Company’s development
portfolio includes three clinical stage oncology focused product candidates and consists of small molecule drug candidates that others
have tried, but failed, to develop into an approved commercialized drug, as well as new compounds that it is developing with the assistance
of its A.I. platform and its biomarker driven approach. The Company’s A.I. platform, known as RADR®, uses big data
analytics (combining molecular data, drug efficacy data, data from historical studies, data from scientific literature, phenotypic data
from trials and publications, and mechanistic pathway data) and machine learning. The Company’s data-driven, genomically-targeted
and biomarker-driven approach allows it to pursue a transformational drug development strategy that identifies, rescues or develops,
and advances potential small molecule drug candidates.

 

Lantern
Pharma Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas on November 7, 2013, and thereafter reincorporated in the state of
Delaware on January 15, 2020. The Company’s principal operations are located in Texas. The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary,
Lantern Pharma Limited, in the United Kingdom in July 2017, and dissolved this subsidiary in November 2025. In September 2021, the Company
formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Lantern Pharma Australia Pty Ltd, in Australia. In January 2023, the Company formed a wholly owned
U.S. subsidiary, Starlight Therapeutics Inc. (“Starlight”), to continue with advancing the development of drug candidate
LP-184’s central nervous system (CNS) and brain cancer indications.

 

Since
inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its activity to advancing research and development, including efforts in connection
with preclinical studies, clinical trials and development of its RADR® platform. This now includes three lead drug candidates
and an Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) program directed towards 11 disclosed therapeutic targets:

 

 
  
 ●
 LP-300
 (Tavocept), which we are advancing in a Phase 2 clinical trial, the Harmonic™ trial, focused on never smokers with advanced
 non-small cell lung cancer;

 
  
  
  

 
  
 ●
 LP-184,
 which has potential for treatment of solid tumors including breast, bladder, lung and pancreatic cancers, and glioblastoma and other
 CNS cancers. We have completed enrollment in a Phase 1a clinical trial for LP-184. Following the formation of Starlight, the Company
 now refers to the molecule LP-184, as it is developed in CNS indications, as “STAR-001”;

 
  
  
  

 
  
 ●
 LP-284,
 the stereoisomer (enantiomer) of LP-184, is in a Phase 1 clinical trial, and has shown promising in-vitro and in vivo
 anticancer activity in multiple hematological cancers, which are distinct from the indications targeted by LP-184; and

 
  
  
  

 
  
 ●
 Our
 ADC program is focused on developing highly specific ADCs with highly potent drug payloads.

 
 

The
Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements
are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The
December 31, 2025 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements
was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes do not include
all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, dated
March 30, 2026, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

 

Any
reference in these notes to applicable guidance refers to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). To date, the Company has operated its business
as one segment. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Lantern Pharma Limited (for the quarter ended March 31, 2025), Lantern Pharma Australia Pty Ltd. and Starlight Therapeutics
Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Note
2. Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The
Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3,329,000 and $4,537,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of approximately $3,280,000.

 

The
Company plans to pursue periodic capital raises and also plans to apply for grant funding in the future to assist in supporting its capital
needs. In July 2025, the Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (“ATM”), with ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity”),
as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time, in “at-the-market”
offerings to or through its sales agent.

 

As described in Note 10, on May 12, 2026, the Company entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue
and sell to such investors in a registered direct offering (i) 1,454,175 shares common stock of the Company, at an offering price of $2.06
per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 681,748 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu
of the Common Shares, at an offering price of $2.0599 (such registered direct offering, the “Offering”). The Offering closed
on May 14, 2026, and the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $4.4 million from the Offering, before deducting Offering expenses
payable by the Company, including the fees of the placement agent for the Offering. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the
Company agreed to issue to such investors warrants to purchase up to 2,135,923 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $2.27 per
share. We may also explore the possibility of additional manners of offering our equity securities
and entering into commercial credit facilities as an additional source of liquidity.

 

We
believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand as of the date of this report, including the net proceeds
from the Offering of shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements until approximately the
middle of the first quarter of 2027. We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations beyond that time period, and
if we are unable to raise capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our drug development programs or
commercialization efforts.

 

The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is highly contingent on the ability to raise additional capital for ongoing research
and development and clinical trials as the Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. The financial statements
in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not include any adjustments that
may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred, and it anticipates it will continue
to incur, losses and generate negative operating cash flows and as such will require substantial additional funding in the near future
to continue its research and development activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern in the absence of obtaining substantial additional funding. While the Company plans to pursue periodic capital raises,
including additional potential sales under the ATM, no assurance can be given that sufficient funding will be available when needed to
allow the Company to continue as a going concern.

preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant areas of estimation include determining research
and development accruals, the inputs in determining the fair value of equity-based awards and warrants issued, the inputs in determining
present value of lease payments, and determining the fair value of marketable securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign
Currency

 

We
translate the financial statements of our Australian subsidiary, which has a functional currency of the Australian dollar, to U.S. dollars
using month-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for income and expenses. Translation gains and losses
are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting
from foreign currency transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currency (U.S. dollar) are included within
other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Risks
and Uncertainties

 

The
Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. Operations
are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, and other risks, including
the potential risk of business failure.

 

Our
marketable securities may be impacted by various risks related to interest rates, market conditions, stock market fluctuations and credit
risk. Our marketable securities that are debt securities have had and may in the future have their market value fluctuate due to rises
or falls in interest rates. While we believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities do not contain excessive risk, we cannot
provide absolute assurance that in the future our investments will not be subject to adverse changes in market value. In addition, we
maintain significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents at one or more financial institutions that are federally insured. Interest
bearing and non-interest bearing accounts we hold at these banking institutions are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. From time to time, some of our cash
balances held at banking institutions may be in excess of FDIC coverage.

 

We
currently rely on foreign third-party manufacturers and service providers in connection with certain aspects of our clinical operations.
The U.S. government and persons involved in the Trump administration have made statements and taken certain actions that have led to,
and may continue to lead to, changes to U.S. and international trade policies. Although some previously imposed tariffs have recently
been struck down, potential new tariffs and the potential escalation of trade disputes with foreign countries could pose a significant
risk to our business and could result in higher operating expenses. U.S. policies on tariffs and international trade could also result
in fluctuations in interest rates, which could have a negative impact on general economic conditions, on the industry sector in which
we operate, and on our business.

 

Research
and Development

 

Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses primarily consist of payroll, contractor expenses, research study expenses,
costs for manufacturing and supplies, clinical site costs and other costs for the conduct of clinical trials, costs for technical infrastructure
on the cloud for the purposes of developing the Company’s RADR® platform, and other costs for identifying, developing,
and testing drug candidates. Development costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the work is performed. Costs to acquire technologies,
including licenses, that are utilized in research and development and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred.

 

When
accruing clinical expenses, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended
in each period. If possible, we obtain information regarding unbilled services directly from our service providers. However, we may be
required to estimate the cost of these services based only on information available to us. If we underestimate or overestimate the cost
associated with a trial or service at a given point in time, adjustments to research and development expenses may be necessary in future
periods. Historically, our estimated accrued clinical expenses have generally approximated actual expense incurred.

 

Cash
and Cash Equivalents

 

The
Company considers money market funds and other highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents.
Cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were approximately $2,533,000 and $1,540,000, respectively, and are included
along with cash under the caption cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Prepaid
Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid
expenses and other current assets as of March 31, 2026 totaled approximately $734,000 and included approximately $546,000 of upfront
payments for contractor fees, academic research studies and services, and subscriptions, approximately $156,000 of prepaid annual insurance
fees, and approximately $32,000 of receivables from dividends and tax incentives.

 

Prepaid
expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $684,000 and included approximately $360,000 of upfront
payments for contractor fees, academic research studies and services, and subscriptions, approximately $294,000 of prepaid annual insurance
fees, and approximately $30,000 of receivables from dividends and tax incentives.

 

Leases

 

The
Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and net of current portion of operating lease liabilities
on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term
and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are
recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the Company’s
leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at the commencement
date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company does not include options to extend or terminate the lease term unless
it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise any such options. Rent expense is recognized under the operating leases on a
straight-line basis. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases, which have a lease
term of twelve months or less, and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Marketable
Securities

 

The
Company’s marketable securities at March 31, 2026 consist of mutual funds and common stock. The Company’s marketable securities
at December 31, 2025 consist of government and agency securities, mutual funds and common stock. We classify our marketable securities
as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. We may sell these securities
at any time for use in current operations even if they have not yet reached maturity. As a result, we classify our investments, including
securities with maturities beyond twelve months, as current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Available-for-sale
debt securities are recorded at fair value each reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are
excluded from earnings and recorded as a separate component within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets until realized. Interest is reported within interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We
evaluate our available-for-sale debt securities to assess whether the amortized cost basis is in excess of estimated fair value and determine
what amount of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Allowance for credit losses are recognized as a charge in
other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and any remaining unrealized losses are included in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses is zero at March 31,
2026 and December 31, 2025, and there were no credit losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

Equity
securities, which are composed of mutual funds and common stock, are recorded at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair
value of these investments, as well as dividends earned, recorded within other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of
operations.

 

We
determine realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities based on the specific identification method and record such
gains and losses within other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Deferred
Offering Costs

 

Deferred
offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting, and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s ATM
financing activities. These costs are capitalized as incurred and recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated
statements of stockholders’ equity when shares are issued. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately
$55,000 and $88,000, respectively, of deferred offering costs related to the ATM. At March 31, 2026, stock issuances of up to $13,905,453
remained available under the ATM, subject to certain limits that may vary from time to time. If the Company terminates the ATM or deems
it probable that the full amount available will not be utilized, the related deferred offering costs will be expensed and recognized
in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31,
2026, the Company expensed approximately $33,000 of deferred offering costs.

 

Stock-based
Compensation

 

Stock-based
awards have been accounted for as required by ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, awards are valued at fair
value on the date of grant, and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they
occur.
