Detailed Financial Review
Balance Sheet Overview
| As of | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Total Assets | \$8,411,292 | \$11,580,124 |
| Total Liabilities | Not explicitly stated for Q1 2026, but infer low relative to assets (prior: \$361,040) | \$361,040 |
| Shareholders’ Equity | \$8,078,648 | \$11,219,084 |
The decline in assets and equity is attributed to ongoing operating losses as the Company continues to invest in its business growth.
Income Statement Overview
- Net Loss Q1 2026: \$3,150,228
- Net Loss Q1 2025: \$137,583
- Net Loss Per Share (Basic and Diluted): Not numerically stated for Q1 2026, but prior period shows (\$0.01) per share; 24,000,000 weighted average shares outstanding in Q1 2025
The significant increase in net loss reflects higher operating expenses, likely due to expanded operations post-IPO and ongoing investment in growth and development.
Share Capital and Structure
- Common Stock Authorized: 475,000,000 shares, par value \$0.0001 per share
- Shares Outstanding (March 31, 2026): 28,364,812 common shares

Going Concern and Liquidity
Management previously disclosed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Following the IPO, this doubt has been alleviated. The capital raised provides sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months. However, investors should continue to monitor the Company’s operating cash flows, as it is still in a loss-making and cash-consuming phase.
Accounting Policy and Regulatory Status
- The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, with interim financials condensed and unaudited.
- As an EGC and SRC, Curanex has elected to delay adoption of certain new accounting standards and utilize scaled disclosure, which may result in less comparability with larger, more mature companies.
Recent and Upcoming Accounting Changes
- ASU 2023-09 (Income Tax Disclosures): Adopted prospectively as of January 1, 2025. New disclosures included regarding effective tax rate reconciliation and cash taxes paid.
- ASU 2024-03 (Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses): Effective for annual periods after December 15, 2026. Curanex is evaluating the impact and expects expanded disclosures, but no material impact on results or cash flows.
Potential Share Price Sensitive Information
- IPO Proceeds and Liquidity: The Company’s improved liquidity and alleviation of going concern doubt are positive signals for investors and may support the share price.
- Ongoing Losses and Cash Burn: The significant increase in net loss may raise concerns about the timeline to profitability and future funding needs, which could pressure the share price if not offset by growth prospects.
- Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status: The Company’s election to use scaled disclosure and delayed adoption of standards could affect investor perception regarding transparency and comparability.
- No Defaults or Unregistered Sales: No indication of default on senior securities or unregistered sales of equity securities in the reporting period.
Summary for Shareholders
Curanex Pharmaceuticals Inc. has emerged from a period of financial uncertainty due to a successful IPO, which has materially improved its liquidity position and removed doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company remains in a heavy investment phase, incurring substantial operating losses that have reduced its asset base and equity. Investors should closely monitor future financial statements for progress toward breakeven, cash utilization rates, and any new capital raising activities.
The Company’s status as an EGC and SRC provides flexibility in reporting and compliance but may also impact the level of disclosure and transparency compared to larger peers. No defaults or adverse events have been reported, and the Company’s shares remain trading on Nasdaq under the ticker CURX.
