SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As the acquisition of Phytanix Bio resulted in the owners of Phytanix Bio gaining control over the combined entity after the transaction, and the stockholders of Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. continuing only as passive investors, the transaction was not considered a business combination under the ASC. Instead, this transaction was considered to be a capital transaction of the legal acquiree (Phytanix Bio) and was equivalent to the issuance of shares by Phytanix Bio for the net monetary assets of Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. accompanied by a recapitalization. As a result, the historical balances represent Phytanix Bio. See Note 4, “Reverse Merger”. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which contain the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 for Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. as well as the audited consolidated financial statements for Phytanix Bio that are reflected in the Form 8-K/A dated August 27, 2025. The interim results for the period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2026 or for any future interim periods. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc., and its wholly owned US, Canadian and UK subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying the consolidated financial statements include valuation of stock options and warrants, derivative liabilities, assessment of deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Foreign currency exchange rates, fair value of the valuation of Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. and the purchase price allocation. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash accounts at financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Company may have deposits in excess of federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has bank balances that exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 the Company did not have any cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $4,096,189 and $14,531, respectively. Fixed Assets and Long-Lived Assets ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets with infinite lives, such as in process research and development are valued at costs and reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually, or more depending on circumstances. The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: 1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; 2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and 3. Significant negative industry or economic trends. When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. The annual impairment test is performed during March of each fiscal year, or more frequently if there are indicators of potential impairment. The impairment review is conducted at the level of the reporting unit or cash-generating unit (CGU), which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than an operating segment. In assessing whether intangible assets are impaired, the Company first evaluates qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or CGU is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include, but are not limited to:
| ● | Macroeconomic conditions (e.g., a significant adverse change in general economic conditions)
| ● | Industry and market considerations (e.g., declines in market capitalization or increased competition)
| ● | Cost factors (e.g., increases in raw material, labor, or other costs that could negatively impact earnings)
| ● | Overall financial performance (e.g., negative or declining cash flows, reductions in revenue growth)
| ● | Other relevant entity-specific events (e.g., changes in management, strategy, or key personnel)
If the qualitative assessment indicates potential impairment, the Company proceeds with a quantitative analysis to determine the fair value of the reporting unit or CGU. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its recoverable amount or fair value. For the period ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are described below: Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company; Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company used a Black-Scholes model for the warrants, as applicable, to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates when needed. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities, is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. Income Taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In accordance with ASU Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Research and development We engage in a variety of research and development activities to develop our technologies and work toward the development of a saleable product. When it is determined that the research and development products we are creating have reached a point where saleable products are possible, these amounts are capitalized. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the research and development costs incurred by the company relate to the following:
| ● | Licenses for patent and know-how (Nano 4 M) - this relates to the company’s formulation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) for its lead pharmaceutical programs.
| ● | Protein Technologies Ltd – this relates to the company’s research into production of cannabinoids by biosynthesis (as opposed to botanical production by growing plants). The company has genetically modified an organism to produce cannabinoids by fermentation (similar to methodology used for the production of antibiotics).
| ● | Apex Molecular Ltd.- the Company has a number of pharmaceutical development programs using both novel and natural molecules. The Company employs third party chemistry / contract, manufacturing companies such as Apex Molecular Ltd. to synthesize and purify these compounds for their pharmaceutical development programs.
| ● | Acquisition of intellectual property from Alinova Biosciences Ltd.
| ● | Continued patent prosecution and internationalization of company intellectual property.
| ● | Staff costs and consultancy costs relating to research and development.
Segment Reporting In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 was effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07. ASU 2023-07 improves segment reporting disclosures for public companies. ASU 2023-07 requires more detailed information about reportable segments and expenses including the requirement to disclose qualitative information about factors used to identify reportable segments and quantitative information about profit and loss measures and significant expense categories, The Company has not yet begun generating revenue from its planned principal operations and operates as a single reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s chief executive officer who assesses performance based on total expenses, cash flows, and progress made in the Company’s ongoing development efforts. The Company analyzed ASU 2023-07 and determined that the required information is presented within the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures herein. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, non-employees, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. If any award granted under the Company’s 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) payable in shares of common stock is forfeited, cancelled, or returned for failure to satisfy vesting requirements, otherwise terminates without payment being made, or if shares of common stock are withheld to cover withholding taxes on options or other awards, the number of shares of common stock as to which such option or award was forfeited, or which were withheld, will be available for future grants under the 2016 Plan. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures when they occur. Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) per Common Share Basic (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The effect of dilution on net loss becomes anti-dilutive and therefore is not reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Research and Development Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Foreign Currency Translation The Company follows ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”) for foreign currency translation to translate the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary from the functional currency, generally the local currency, into U.S. Dollars. ASC 830-10-45 sets out the guidance relating to how a reporting entity determines the functional currency of a foreign entity (including of a foreign entity in a highly inflationary economy), re-measures the books of record (if necessary), and characterizes transaction gains and losses. Pursuant to ASC 830-10-45, the assets, liabilities, and operations of a foreign entity shall be measured using the functional currency of that entity. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment, or local currency, in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash. The functional currency of each foreign subsidiary is determined based on management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures, would be considered the functional currency, but any dependency upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary’s operations must also be considered. If a subsidiary’s functional currency is deemed to be the local currency as is the case with Canada and the UK, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary’s financial statements is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. However, if the functional currency is deemed to be the U.S. Dollar, then any gain or loss associated with the re-measurement of these financial statements from the local currency to the functional currency would be included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If the Company disposes of foreign subsidiaries, then any cumulative translation gains or losses would be recorded into the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If the Company determines that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to the U.S. Dollar, any translation gains or losses arising after the date of change would be included within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Based on an assessment of the factors discussed above, the management of the Company determined its subsidiaries’ local currency (i.e. the Canadian dollar, British Pound) to be the functional currency for its foreign subsidiaries. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” to improve disclosures about the nature of expenses in commonly presented financial statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for all public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
