Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

On September 10, 2025, MEI Pharma, Inc. changed its name to Lite Strategy, Inc. and its ticker symbol to LITS. We are a pharmaceutical company that has been developing novel and differentiated cancer therapies. In August 2025, we implemented a Litecoin Treasury Strategy (as described below) with the net proceeds from the PIPE (as defined below). We built our pipeline by acquiring promising cancer agents and creating value in programs through development, strategic partnerships and out-licensing or commercialization, as appropriate. Our approach to oncology drug development has been to evaluate our drug candidates in combinations with standard-of-care therapies to overcome known resistance mechanisms and address clear medical needs to provide improved patient benefit. Our pipeline includes voruciclib, an oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor, zandelisib, an oral, once-daily, selective PI3Kδ inhibitor and prior to its sale, ME-344 as more fully discussed in Note 13. Disposition of a Non-Financial Asset, an intravenous small molecule mitochondrial inhibitor targeting the oxidative phosphorylation pathway.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

We prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to annual reports on Form 10‑K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lite Strategy, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Meadow Merger Sub, Inc. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Current Events

Strategic Alternatives

On July 22, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors (Board) had determined unanimously to begin the evaluation of our strategic alternatives, including potential transactions as well as an orderly wind down of operations, if appropriate, to maximize the value of our assets for our stockholders. We commenced a reduction-in-force (the Strategic Alternatives RIF) beginning August 1, 2024, which continued in stages as our operational and strategic direction evolved. In connection with this evaluation, we discontinued the clinical development of voruciclib, while certain nonclinical activities related to our drug candidate assets will continue to be conducted by us. As part of the review of strategic alternatives, we considered options such as out-licensing or the sale of our existing programs and merger and acquisition opportunities, as well as other potential opportunities.

Consistent with our intention to preserve cash, David M. Urso, our former President and Chief Executive Officer and Richard Ghalie, M.D., our former Chief Medical Officer, stepped down effective August 1, 2024. Mr. Urso also left the Board at that date. We entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Ghalie under which he remains available to assist us in strategic efforts or ongoing operations. In addition, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Urso, which was terminated in February 2025. Charles V. Baltic III, the former Chairperson of the Board, also stepped down from the Board contemporaneously with the announcement on July 22, 2024. Our Board appointed Justin J. File, our Chief Financial Officer, to assume the position of Acting Chief Executive Officer and appointed Frederick W. Driscoll as our Chairperson of the Board.

The evaluation of strategic alternatives concluded with the August 2025 implementation of our Litecoin Treasury Strategy (as described below) and a commitment to long-term innovation in capital structure and financial technology, along with the initiation of an expanding strategy that could include the commencement of Litecoin mining activities, as well as our continued assessment of pre-clinical activities with our drug candidate pipeline, as to which we anticipate conducting further investigational research and development in the next several months.

Private Investment in Private Equity (PIPE) and Related Agreements

As more fully discussed in Note 15. Subsequent Events, in July 2025, we closed on a $100.0 million PIPE and issued an aggregate of (i) 23,216,898 shares (the Shares) of our Common Stock (as defined in Note 10. Stockholders' Equity), at an offering price of $3.42 per share and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the Pre-Funded Warrants (together with the Common Stock, the Securities)), to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,022,869 shares of Common Stock (the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares) at an offering price of $3.4199 per Pre-Funded Warrant. On July 24, 2025, Pre-Funded Warrants for the purchase of 2,084,509 shares of Common Stock were exercised for a de minimis amount of cash proceeds. As of September 23, 2025, we issued 2,807,967 shares of Common Stock upon cashless exercises of 2,808,070 Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Also, in July 2025 and as more fully discussed in Note 15. Subsequent Events, we entered into various agreements with certain advisors to the PIPE, asset managers and custodians who will deploy our Litecoin Treasury Strategy (as described below), including but not limited to: (i) a placement agency agreement, (ii) an asset management agreement, (iii) an advisory agreement, (iv) a strategic advisor agreement and (v) a new at-the-market sales agreement. As partial consideration for services provided associated with the PIPE, we issued warrants for the purchase of up to 3,070,177 shares of our Common Stock with a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $4.10 per share.

On September 24, 2025, as payment of the annual Asset-based Fee under the Asset Management Agreement, we issued to GSR, 546,348 Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Subject to the limitations on exercise set forth in the warrant agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised at any time until they are exercised in full.

Litecoin Treasury Strategy

On August 5, 2025, we announced the commencement of our primary reserve asset and implementation strategy built on a digital asset infrastructure and long-term capital innovation (a Litecoin Treasury Strategy) through our acquisition of Litecoin (LTC) tokens, reflecting the full deployment of the net proceeds of the PIPE. Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities. Mathematics secures the network and empowers individuals to control their own finances. Litecoin features faster transaction confirmation times and improved storage efficiency than the leading math-based currency. We believe this strategy will allow us to diversify reserves, enhance capital efficiency and align with emerging financial technologies.

 

Cooperation Agreement and Cash Dividend

On October 31, 2023, we announced our entry into a cooperation agreement with Anson Funds Management LP and Cable Car Capital LLC (Cooperation Agreement), a related party, which, among other non-financial related items, provided for a capital return to stockholders in the form of a dividend in the amount of $1.75 per share of Common Stock that was declared on November 6, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 17, 2023 (Cooperation Agreement). The total dividend of $11.7 million was paid on December 6, 2023, and was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, as we have an accumulated deficit, rather than retained earnings. Effective July 22, 2025, in conjunction with the closing of the Offering (as defined in Note 15. Subsequent Events), the parties to the Cooperation Agreement mutually agreed to terminate such Cooperation Agreement.

Liquidity

To date, we have obtained cash and funded our operations primarily through equity financings and license agreements. We have accumulated losses of $404.2 million since inception and expect to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2025, we had $18.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. In connection with our July 2024 announcement regarding the evaluation of our strategic alternatives, we discontinued the clinical development of voruciclib, while certain nonclinical research and development (R&D) activities continue. As a result, we will continue to incur R&D expenses in connection with our nonclinical projects. We believe that our cash balance will be sufficient to meet our obligations and fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

To date, we have obtained cash and funded our operations primarily through equity financings and license agreements and to continue the development of our drug candidates, we would require one or more capital transactions, whether through the sale of equity securities, debt financing, license agreements or entry into strategic partnerships at some point in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise additional capital in the future.
