Overview
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (“Briacell” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care. Immunotherapies have come to the forefront in the fight against cancer as they harness the body’s own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The Company is currently advancing its Bria-IMT™ targeted immunotherapy in combination with an immune check point inhibitor (Retifanlimab) in a pivotal1 Phase 3 study in metastatic breast cancer (listed on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT06072612). Bria-IMT™ is currently under Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) intended to accelerate the review process of novel treatments that address unmet medical needs. Positive completion of the pivotal study, following review by FDA, could lead to full approval of the Bria-IMT™ immune checkpoint inhibitor combination in metastatic breast cancer.
BriaCell has reported benchmark-beating patient survival and clinical benefit in metastatic breast cancer with median overall survival of 13.4 months in BriaCell’s metastatic breast cancer patients vs. 6.7-9.8 months2 for similar patients reported in the literature in its Phase 2 study of Bria-IMT™ combination study with retifanlimab. Additionally, BriaCell reported median overall survival of 16.5 months in Phase 2 Bria-IMT™ study patients treated in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients treated with the Phase 3 formulation since 2022 (post-COVID). A completed Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2 combination study with retifanlimab (an anti-PD1 antibody manufactured by Incyte) confirmed tolerability and early-stage efficacy (listed on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03328026).
BriaCell Phase 1/2 Study of Bria-OTS™, BriaCell’s personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapy, also known as Bria-BRES™, in metastatic breast cancer is ongoing (listed on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT06471673). The first patient treated with 4 inoculations of cells (single agent) demonstrated complete resolution of a lung metastasis.
BriaCell is currently developing Bria-OTS™ and its advanced form, Bria-OTS+™, as a platform technology for personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapies for numerous types of cancer. The Company announced BriaCell had received positive feedback from its Pre-Investigational New Drug Application (Pre-IND) meeting with FDA for Bria-PROS+™ for prostate cancer.
Recent Developments
During the period from August 1, 2025 through to the date of this report, we announced a number of corporate, financing and R&D developments. On August 21, 2025, our board approved a consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every ten pre-consolidation common shares, primarily to help ensure continued compliance with Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements. The consolidation became effective on August 25, 2025, with the post-consolidation common shares commencing trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq on that date.
Throughout this time period, there were several important updated on the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 study of Bria-IMT™ in patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer, including accelerating enrollment, adding additional clinical sites, and several positive Data Safety Monitoring Board meetings. Some of these are detailed below.
We also strengthened our non-dilutive funding and external collaborations. On August 13, 2025, we announced acceptance into Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s (MSK’s) 2025 Therapeutics Accelerator Cohort program for the Bria-OTS+™ platform, which includes the Bria-BRES+™ product candidate for breast cancer.
On August 25, 2025, we reported that we had been awarded a US$2.0 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) to advance Bria-PROS+™ in prostate cancer, providing non-dilutive funding to support manufacturing and planned clinical evaluation activities for this program
On October 21, 2025, we further announced a collaboration with MSK’s Therapeutics Accelerator program focused on the Bria-OTS+ platform. The collaboration includes support for manufacturing, IND development and clinical protocol work for a planned Phase 1 study of Bria-BRES+ in breast cancer, and is intended to help accelerate clinical development of Bria-OTS+ across multiple cancer indications.
Bria-IMT™
On November 25, 2025, BriaCell highlighted positive Phase 2 & Phase 3 clinical data at SABCS® 2025 with poster presentations at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (December 10, 2025) will highlight positive Phase 2 safety and efficacy signals and positive biomarker findings in both the Phase 2 and the pivotal Phase 3 studies.On December 9, 2025, BriaCell announced that patient enrollment is on track for 1H2026 topline data readout with over 230 patients screened and over 160 patients enrolled in BriaCell’s pivotal Phase 3 study in metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
Presentation Title: Survival Results of Phase II Bria-IMT Allogenic Whole Cell-Based Cancer Vaccine
Maturing positive Phase 2 data continue to support the potentially meaningful clinical benefit of the Bria-IMT regimen and the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 study is further evaluating this immunotherapy and the role of biomarkers in predicting patient response.
Presentation Title: Th1-biased cytokine signatures as biomarkers of clinical benefit following SV-BR-1-GM cancer vaccination in breast cancer. BriaCell’s data suggests that Th1 biased cytokines and chemokines may serve as potential predictive biomarkers of clinical responses to the Bria-IMT regimen in metastatic breast cancer.
Copies of the posters are available at https://briacell.com/scientific-publications/.
On December 10, 2025, BriaCell presented three posters highlighting robust survival and clinical benefit data in Phase 2, plus positive key biomarker data from the pivotal Phase 3 study of Bria-IMT™ plus immune check point inhibitor (CPI) at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS®) 2025. Data from the Phase 3 study continues to support biomarkers to identify patients who benefit from treatment with BriaCell’s regimen. Additionally, maturing Phase 2 study data continues to support meaningful clinical benefit of the Bria-IMT regimen with outstanding long-term survival. Importantly, no toxicity related discontinuations was reported in the Phase 3 study. Summaries of the studies are shown here.
On December 18, 2025, BriaCell announced that its Phase 3 Bria-IMT™ clinical trial in metastatic breast cancer was prominently and independently featured in the Nature Medicine Year In Review’s publication, “ Eleven clinical trials that will shape medicine in 2026”. Nature Medicine asked leading researchers to name their top clinical trial for 2026, from long-awaited vaccines for infectious diseases to new treatments for advanced cancers and long COVID. BriaCell’s Phase 3 clinical trial in metastatic breast cancer featured as “clinical trial to watch in 2026”
On January 27, 2026, BriaCell Highlighted extended >18-47 months survival in Phase 2 metastatic breast cancer patients. 9 of 25 BriaCell patients treated since 2022 remained alive >18-47 months post enrollment, markedly exceeding benchmarks reported for standard of care therapies in similar patient populations. No Bria-IMT™ related discontinuations was reported to that date. Bria-IMT regimen continues under Fast Track Designation from US FDA.
New positive Phase 2 survival data highlighted multiple patients surpassing expected benchmarks for metastatic breast cancer and survival length over 18 months in 9 cases as of their last assessment.

TPC: Treatment of Physicians Choice
On January 28, 2026, BriaCell reported patients’ images showing regression and resolution of metastasized tumors and immune activation in patients with orbital (eye), temporal lobe (brain), liver, and spinal involvement. Survival details on these and other select patients in its Phase 2 study, along with comparable populations, were previously reported.
Images below confirm clinical responses seen in patients with metastatic orbital (eye), temporal (brain), liver, and spine lesions.
Example 1: Patient 11-018
A 66-year-old woman with ER+/PR+/HER2+ metastatic breast cancer, heavily pretreated with 8 prior lines of therapy, including an antibody-drug conjugate (Enhertu), remains alive 27 months post-enrollment. At baseline, she presented with metastatic involvement of the right orbit (behind the eye), right temporal lobe of the brain and multiple skeletal sites. Following treatment, she achieved complete resolution of the temporal lobe metastasis, substantial improvement in the orbital lesion and stable disease in the bone. She remained on study for 26 months after initiating treatment and receiving 35 cycles of therapy. Images though 20 months for this patient have been previously described (link). Shown here are updated images through 2 years with measurements superimposed (through 18 months for the temporal lobe brain metastases).
Example 1 Images (Patient 11-018): Bria-IMT treatment resulted in complete resolution of the right temporal lobe lesion and continued regression of the right orbital (behind the eye) tumor. Measurements of lesion sizes are shown.
LA = long axis. SA = short axis.
Example 2: Patient 15-005:
A 44-year-old woman with ER+/PR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, previously treated with 5 prior lines of therapy. At baseline, she presented with metastases to the spine. She completed 6 cycles of therapy achieving stable disease as her best response and remains in survival follow-up 27 months after study entry.

Example 2 Images (Patient 15-005): CD8 ImmunoPET images pre (A) and post (B) Bria-IMT treatment
Example 3: Patient 15-006:
A 64-year-old woman with ER+/PR-/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, heavily pre-treated with 8 prior lines of therapy, including the antibody-drug conjugate Trodelvy, remains alive 25 months post-enrollment. At baseline, presented with hepatic metastasis.
Before BriaCell Treatment Image A: A liver metastasis (lower arrow) is “cold,” indicating minimal to no CD8+ cytotoxic T cells in the tumor while enlarged lymph nodes (upper arrow) show moderate uptake.
After BriaCell Treatment Image B: Swelling (induration) around the metastasis (lower arrow) demonstrates the liver metastasis has become “hot”, indicating marked CD8+ cytotoxic T cell infiltration while further lymph node enlargement is consistent with increased activity (upper arrow) indicating increased CD8+ T cells.
Example 3 Images (Patient 15-006): Combined MRI and CD8 ImmunoPET images Pre (A) and Post (B) Bria-IMT treatment
The Phase 2 study enrolled 54 heavily pre-treated metastatic breast cancer patients (median six prior therapies) who received the Bria-IMT regimen plus a checkpoint inhibitor. Of these, 37 patients were treated with the same formulation now being evaluated in the pivotal Phase 3 study (NCT06072612). Significantly, no Bria-IMT related discontinuations have been reported to date.No Bria-IMT™ related discontinuations reported to date. Bria-IMT regimen continues under Fast Track Designation from US FDA.
Bria-OTS and Bria-OTS+
On November 7, 2025, BriaCell presented robust anti-cancer activity of Bria-OTS+ in breast and prostate cancer models at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2025. Bria-OTS+ represents a novel, cost-effective, off-the-shelf potent next generation cancer therapy platform. Next generation Bria-OTS+ platform demonstrated rapid, potent and durable anti-cancer activity by activating both innate and adaptive immune responses. Increased tumor cell cytotoxicity induced by both Bria-BRES+™ (breast cancer) and Bria-PROS+™ (prostate cancer) was reported. In summary, preclinical data reinforces broad potential of Bria-OTS+ platform across multiple indications. BriaCell added that lead candidates Bria-BRES+ (breast cancer) and Bria-PROS+ (prostate cancer) are completing GMP manufacturing for planned clinical trials. As a reminder, $2 million National Cancer Institute (NCI) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) award supports manufacturing and planned clinical evaluation of Bria-PROS+.
On January 13, 2026, BriaCell reported sustained complete resolution of lung metastasis in Bria-OTS Patient (Figure 1 as shown below). 11-month sustained complete resolution of lung metastasis was observed in Bria-OTS Phase 1/2a metastatic breast cancer study. No treatment limiting toxicities reported. The patient maintained stable disease at all other evaluable sites.
Figure 1: Treatment with Bria-OTS monotherapy resulted in 100% resolution of tumor in the right lung of the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patient following 2 months of therapy and confirmed at 4, 6, and 11 months of therapy1 (axial and coronal views)
BriaPro
On February 18, 2026, the Company and BriaPro Therapeutics Corp. (“BriaPro”), a announced that we have entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which BriaPro has agreed to purchase BriaCell’s exclusive license to develop and commercialize Soluble CD80 (“sCD80”) as a biologic agent for the treatment of cancer and other associated assets (the “Transaction”).
Background
BriaCell originally secured the exclusive license from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (“UMBC”) on August 2, 2022. The novel technology, originally developed by Suzanne Ostrand-Rosenberg, Ph.D., Emeritus Faculty at UMBC, and member of BriaCell’s scientific advisory board, is titled “Soluble CD80 as a Therapeutic to Reverse Immune Suppression in Cancer Patients” and is covered under USPN 8,956,619 B2, USPN 9,650,429 B2, and USPN 10,377,810 B2. In animal models, sCD80 was well-tolerated and stopped tumor growth by potentially restoring natural anti-tumor immunity (see Lucas A Horn, et al. and Samuel T Haile et al. in collaboration with Dr. Ostrand-Rosenberg). Additionally, strong anti-tumor activity of sCD80 has been reported in multiple tumor types (see Lucas A Horn, et al.). Importantly, as demonstrated in the same studies, sCD80’s unique actions may involve both awakening and boosting the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells.
The Transaction
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BriaPro gains the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize sCD80 as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer, while UMBC holds all rights, title and interest in the inventions and the patent, except for certain rights retained by the United States Government. BriaPro will pay 2% royalties to UMBC upon the commercialization of the product plus other development costs.
As part of the Transaction, BriaCell will make available to BriaPro up to $3 million to fund research and development efforts (the “Credit Facility”). Each drawdown under the Credit Facility will be subject to BriaCell’s approval regarding the use of funds.
As consideration for the transfer of the exclusive license and the Credit Facility, BriaPro will issue to BriaCell 23,972,589 Common Shares at an aggregate value of approximately C$1.18M, increasing BriaCell’s interest in BriaPro to approximately 78% post-transaction. The Transaction is expected to close by the end of March 2026, subject to certain conditions including (i) approval of the disinterested shareholders of BriaPro, and (ii) receipt of a third-party valuation confirming that the Transaction is occurring at fair market value.
Shareholder Approval
In accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“***MI 61-101”**), the resolution approving the Purchase Agreement must be approved by a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding the votes cast by any “interested party” (as defined in MI 61-101). As a 10% shareholder with an interest in the Transaction, BriaCell's shareholdings in BriaPro will be excluded from voting.
Formal Valuation Requirements
In respect of the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101, BriaPro intends to rely on the specified markets exemptions set forth in subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as none of its securities are listed or quoted on a specified senior exchange.
Though a formal valuation is not required under applicable securities laws, as a matter of good governance and best corporate practice, BriaPro intends to obtain a valuation from an independent third-party valuator as a condition to closing, verifying and validating that Transaction is occurring at fair market value.
On March 5, 2026, the disinterested shareholders of BriaPro approved the Transaction.

(Unaudited)
| Six months ended January 31, 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical trial sites and Investigational drug costs | $8,662,722 | $6,557,243 |
| Wages and salaries | 3,185,595 | 2,241,110 |
| Laboratory Rent | 255,110 | 228,660 |

| Share-based compensation | 162,447 | 83,557 |
| $12,737,332 | $9,350,118 |
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, research, development, and clinical trial expenses were $12,737,332, compared to $9,350,118 for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher clinical trial site and investigational drug costs, which rose from $6,557,243 in 2025 to $8,662,722 in 2026 as the Company advanced its clinical programs. Wages and salaries increased from $2,241,110 in 2025 to $3,185,595 in 2026, reflecting increased headcount and personnel supporting clinical and development activities. Laboratory rent increased to $255,110 in 2026 from $228,660 in 2025 due to expanded use of facilities. Supplies increased to $411,631 in 2026 from $184,694 in 2025, reflecting higher clinical and laboratory activity. Depreciation expense remained consistent year over year at $45,678. Professional fees increased to $14,149 in 2026 from $9,176 in 2025 due to increased consulting and support for clinical operations. Share-based compensation increased to $162,447 in 2026 from $83,557 in 2025, reflecting a higher level of equity-based awards outstanding during the period.
Clinical trial expenses for the period are as follows:
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
| Six months ended January 31, 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Bria-IMT™ Pivotal Phase 3 study | $7,667,192 | $6,089,111 |
| Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a | 360,407 | 399,343 |
| Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a | 1,924,764 | 143,195 |
| $9,952,363 | $6,631,649 |
Clinical trial expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2026, were $9,952,363, compared to $6,631,649 during the same period in 2025. The increase reflects sustained investment in the Bria-IMT™ pivotal Phase 3 program and significant advancement of the Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a program as it progresses through early clinical development. These programs continue to be the primary drivers of the year-over-year increase in clinical trial expenses.
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, Bria-IMT™ Pivotal Phase 3 Study costs were $7,667,192, compared to $6,089,111 in 2025. The increase reflects continued patient enrollment, expansion of clinical sites, increased clinical site activity, CRO services, central laboratory testing, and clinical supply management associated with the ongoing progression of the Phase 3 study. Spending levels during the period are consistent with maintaining operational momentum as the trial advances toward planned interim analyses.
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a expenses were $360,407, compared to $399,343 in 2025. The decrease reflects the continued wind-down of the program following completion of primary activities in fiscal 2024. Current-period costs primarily relate to residual close-out procedures, data management, and limited follow-up activities. Expenses are expected to decline further as final wrap-up activities conclude.
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a expenses were $1,924,764, compared to $143,195 in 2025. The substantial increase reflects continued advancement of the OTS program into early clinical development. Costs incurred during the period include expanded development and manufacturing activities, GMP production of Bria-BRES+ and Bria-PROS+, regulatory and analytical support, and operational activities necessary to support ongoing evaluation of the next-generation Bria-OTS+ platform. The increased investment aligns with the program’s progression and expansion across multiple solid tumor indications.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses amounted to $3,116,877, compared to $2,972,157 for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher wages and salaries, regulatory and filing fees, insurance, and other administrative costs, partially offset by lower consulting, professional fees, and travel expenses.
Financial income, net
For the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, financial income amounted to $243,235, compared to $79,072 for the six-month period ended January 31, 2025. Financial income for the 2026 period consisted of $243,607 in interest income and a $372 foreign exchange loss. In comparison, financial income for the 2025 period included $59,882 in interest income and a $19,190 foreign exchange gain. The increase in financial income from 2025 to 2026 was primarily due to higher interest income, reflecting increased cash and cash equivalents available for investment in interest-bearing funds.
Loss for the period
The Company reported a loss of $15,575,221 for the six-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $12,167,104 for the same period in 2025. The increase in loss was primarily driven by higher research, development and clinical trial expenses, which rose to $12,737,332 in 2026 from $9,350,118 in 2025 as the Company advanced its clinical programs. This was partially offset by higher financial income in the current period, including increased interest income and a lower foreign exchange loss.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Uncertainty
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.
As of January 31, 2026, the company had a positive working capital balance of $28,993,334 (July 31, 2025 positive balance of $15,948,588).
As of January 31, 2026, the Company has total assets of $33,594,454 (July 31, 2025 - $ 21,649,706), a positive working capital of $28,993,334 (July 31, 2025 – positive balance of $15,948,588) and an accumulated deficit of $127,174,949 (July 31, 2025 - negative balance of $ 111,755,564).
As of January 31, 2026, the Company’s capital resources consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, comprising mostly of cash on deposit with banks, investments in money market funds, investments in U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities, and investment grade corporate debt securities. Our investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements.
Historically, the Company has financed its operation through private and public placement of equity securities, as well as debt financing. The Company’s ability to fund its longer-term cash requirements is subject to multiple risks, many of which are beyond its control. The Company intends to raise additional capital, either through debt or equity financings in order to achieve its business plan objectives. Management believes that it can be successful in obtaining additional capital; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds raised will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. To this end, for several months during calendar year 2025, certain directors and officers agreed to defer payment of their directors’ fees/compensation until we completed a financing, after which, these fees were paid in full. Further, certain officers have indicated their willingness to receive a portion of their compensation in equity of the Company, subject to applicable Nasdaq rules. In addition, we continue to reduce expenditure on certain non-core activities whilst maintaining our focus on our Phase 3 Bria-IMT™ pivotal study in advanced metastatic breast cancer.
During the period ended January 31, 2026, the Company’s overall position of cash and cash equivalents increased by $19,409,820 from the period ended July 31, 2025 (including effects of foreign exchange). This increase in cash can be attributed to the following:
The Company’s net cash used in operating activities during the period ended January 31, 2026, was $15,672,094 as compared to $12,875,298 for the period ended January 31, 2025.
Cash gained in financing activities for the period ended January 31, 2026, was 27,874,441 as compared to 17,176,863 for the period ended January 31, 2025.

Market risk
As filed, 3,387 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, warrant liability, short term loans, trade payable, and accrued expenses and other payables. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
Management understands that the Company is exposed to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates as a portion of the Company’s transactions occur in Canadian Dollars (mainly costs relating to being a public company in Canada), and the Company’s functional and presentation currency is the US dollar. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management process. The overall objectives of the Board are to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility.
The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is as follows:
Credit risk
The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is remote.
Liquidity Risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they come due. As of January 31, 2026, the Company has total assets of $33,594,454 (July 31, 2025 - $21,649,706) and a positive working capital balance of $28,993,334 (July 31, 2025 – positive working capital balance of $15,948,588).
Market Risk
Interest rate risk
Interest Rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Loans payable include both fixed and variable interest rates; however, the Company does not believe it is exposed to material interest rate risk.
Price risk
As the Company has no revenues, price risk is remote.
Exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a portion of the Company’s transactions occur in Canadian Dollars (mainly costs relating to being a public company in Canada) and, therefore, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period through its Canadian denominated accounts payable and cash. As of January 31, 2026, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would not have a material effect on the in total loss and comprehensive loss.
Fair Values
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade payable, warrant liability, short term loans, and accrued expenses and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity.
Cash and cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value of the warrant liability is determined based on the nature of the warrant. For publicly traded warrants we use the quoted market price and for all other warrants we use the Black-Scholes pricing model.
