The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

The Company has registered wholly owned subsidiaries in Ireland (Trinity Reliant Ventures Limited), in the United Kingdom (Artelo Biosciences Ltd), and in Canada (Artelo Biosciences Corporation). On January 8, 2020, Trinity Research and Development Limited changed its name to Artelo Biosciences Limited. Operations in the subsidiaries have been consolidated in the financial statements.

The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics that target lipid-signaling pathways, including treatments intended to modulate the endocannabinoid system (the “ECS”), a family of receptors and neurotransmitters that form a biochemical communication network throughout the body.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception and incurred a net loss of $2,958 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10,273.

In July 2023, the Company filed a $75,000 in aggregate value shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which became effective on July 14, 2023. The shelf registration statement is effective for three years and permits the Company to sell, from time to time, up to $75,000 of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and/or units subject to a limit of one-third (1/3) of the Company’s public float within a twelve (12) month period if the public float of the Company is less than $75,000 as of relevant measurement dates under applicable securities laws.

On March 27, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement offering: (i) 81,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $3.45 per share, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,107,407 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (iii) warrants to purchase 6,376,814 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.20 per share (the “Common Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants” and the shares issuable upon such Warrants, the “Warrant Shares.” Each Share or, at the election of the Purchaser in lieu of Shares, each Pre-Funded Warrant, was issued and sold along with two Common Warrants. The combined purchase price for the securities was (i) $3.45 per Share and two Common Warrants, and (ii) $3.449 per Pre-Funded Warrant and two Common Warrants. The offering closed on March 30, 2026. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below. The Common Warrants are exercisable immediately and have a term of five and one-half years from the effective date of the initial registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described below. The exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the offering received a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds and reimbursement of certain expenses. Upon the exercise for cash of the Warrants, the Company shall pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect thereto. In addition, the Company issued to designees of the Placement Agent warrants to purchase 255,073 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.3125 per share, which have the same terms as the Common Warrants other than the exercise price. The gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting Placement Agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, were $10,997 (or up to approximately $31,400 in gross proceeds if the Warrants are fully exercised for cash). The net proceeds of $10,032 from the offering will be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and the repayment of certain bridge debt. The Common Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if, after six months from the issuance date of the Common Warrants, there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Common Warrants to the holder. A holder of a Warrant may not exercise any such Warrant to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% or 9.99% (at the election of the holder) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

On May 4, 2026, the Company filed a $75,000 in aggregate value shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which is subject to review by the SEC prior to becoming effective. The shelf registration statement, upon clearance of the SEC review process, will be effective for three years and permit the Company to sell, from time to time, up to $75,000 of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and/or units subject to a limit of one-third (1/3) of the Company’s public float within a twelve (12) month period if the public float of the Company is less than $75,000 as of relevant measurement dates under applicable securities laws. The Company may continue to sell under the July 2023 Form S-3 until the earlier of (i) the date on which the new shelf registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, or (ii) January 10, 2027, which is 180 days after the third-year anniversary of the effective date of the July 2023 Form S-3.

To continue operations, the Company will be required to raise additional funds by completing additional equity or debt offerings or licensing our product candidates. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding, that the Company’s projections of its future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Negative Global or National Events

Businesses have been and will continue to be impacted by a number of challenging global and national events and circumstances that continue to evolve, including tariffs, trade disputes, extreme weather conditions, increased economic uncertainty, inflation, interest rate fluctuation, recent and any potential future financial institution failures, and conflicts in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and in other areas. The extent of the impact of these events and circumstances on our business, operations and development timelines and plans remains uncertain, and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and scope of the events and their impact on our development activities, third-party manufacturers, and other third parties with whom we do business, as well as its impact on regulatory authorities and our key scientific and management personnel. We have been and continue to actively monitor the potential impacts that these various events and circumstances may have on our business, and we take steps, where warranted, to minimize any potential negative impacts on our business resulting from these events and circumstances. The ultimate impact of these global and national events and circumstances, either individually or in aggregate, is highly uncertain and subject to change.

Reverse Stock Splits

On June 12, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Change, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.209, to effect a one-for-six (1-for-6) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Reverse Split was effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 13, 2025. Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes 78.207, the Company’s board of directors has the authority to effect a reverse stock split without stockholder approval if the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced.

As a result of the Reverse Split occurring on June 12, 2025, each six (6) pre-split shares of common stock outstanding were automatically combined into one (1) new share of common stock without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from 3,280,000 to approximately 546,667. The number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 50,000,000 to 8,333,333, while the number of authorized shares of preferred stock was reduced from 416,667 to 69,444. On August 28, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in which the shareholders voted to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 8,333,333 shares to 500,000,000 shares.

On March 10, 2026, the Company executed a one-for-three (1-for-3) reverse stock split affecting both the authorized and issued and outstanding amounts of its common stock and preferred stock. These consolidated financial statements reflect the impact of this reverse stock split. As a result of the Reverse Split occurring on March 10, 2026, each three (3) pre-split shares of common stock outstanding were automatically combined into one (1) new share of common stock without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares of common stock was reduced from 2,018,746 to approximately 673,008. The number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 500,000,000 to 166,666,667, while the number of authorized shares of preferred stock was reduced from 69,444 to 23,148.
