2024-Q2 EPS reported
-$0.32
- Net loss $2.7M ($0.18/sh) vs $1.5M ($0.10) in Q2 2023, driven by $1.3M increase in G&A expenses.

- G&A expenses rose to $3.0M from $1.7M due to $0.9M merger-related professional fees and $0.4M CEO termination benefits (Dr. Bristow resigned April 3, 2024).
- Merger with Oruka Therapeutics remains pending; if not completed, company may pursue dissolution/liquidation.
- R&D expenses fell to $0.1M from $0.3M due to reduced headcount and end of grants.
