• Cash Drops to $1.4M

  Cash and equivalents fell to $1.4 million as of June 30, 2026, down from $3.2 million at year-end 2025, barely sufficient to reach the anticipated merger closing.

• Going Concern Warning Reiterated

  Management again states substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, with survival dependent on the Korsana merger closing.

• Net Loss Widens Sharply

  Net loss for H1 2026 was $4.9 million, nearly triple the $1.8 million loss in H1 2025, driven by a 693% surge in R&D expenses and a 32% increase in G&A costs related to the merger.

• ATM Program Exhausted

  The company sold all available shares under its at-the-market program, raising $0.8 million in January 2026, and does not anticipate further sales before the merger.

With only $1.4 million in cash, Cyclerion barely has enough runway to reach the August 26 merger vote with Korsana. The company again warns that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern if the merger fails. Operating losses widened sharply, driven by merger-related legal and consulting costs. The ATM program is exhausted and no other funding sources remain, so survival hinges entirely on shareholder approval of the reverse merger. Should the deal collapse, the board may pursue dissolution.
