2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding the future
financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The
words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us,
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on current expectations and
projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business
strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
In
addition, our business and financial performance may be affected by the factors that are discussed under “Risk Factors” in
the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive
and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors,
nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
You
should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
The
following discussion and analysis is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information
set forth in the financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion
should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion
reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present
assessment of our management.
Overview
We
are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on our Phase III clinical trial, Flamingo-01, which is evaluating GLSI-100, an
immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences. GP2 is a 9 amino acid transmembrane peptide of the HER2/neu protein, a cell surface
receptor protein that is expressed in a variety of common cancers, including expression in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+), intermediate
(2+), and high (3+ or over-expressor) levels. The combination of GP2 + GM-CSF is called GLSI-100. We are currently expanding Flamingo-01
into Europe with plans to open up to 150 sites globally. Flamingo-01 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GLSI-100 in HER2/neu
positive patients with residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response at surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant
and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab based treatment.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue and we have incurred net losses. Our net losses were approximately $19.4 million and $17.4
million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $5.7 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Our
net losses have resulted from costs incurred in developing the drug in our pipeline, planning and preparing for clinical trials and general
and administrative activities associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and corresponding increased
operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our pipeline. Our costs may further increase as we conduct clinical
trials and seek regulatory approval for and prepare to commercialize our product candidate. We expect to incur significant expenses to
continue to build the infrastructure necessary to support our expanded operations, clinical trials, commercialization, including manufacturing,
marketing, sales and distribution functions. We will also experience increased costs associated with operating as a public company.

Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses increased by $2,936,416, or 129%, to $5,207,564 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $2,271,148 for
the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable for clinical trial expenses.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses increased by $20,588, or 4%, to $518,190 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $497,602 for the
three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our inception in 2006, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities.
We have not yet achieved commercialization of our product and have a cumulative net loss from our operations. We will continue to incur
net losses for the foreseeable future. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
We
will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through the sale
of equity and/or debt securities; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful at raising additional capital in the future.
If our plans are not achieved and/or if significant unanticipated events occur, we may have to further modify our business plan, which
may require us to raise additional capital. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our principal source of liquidity was our cash,
which totalled $10,505,435 and $6,178,021, respectively, and additional loans and accrued unreimbursed expenses from related parties.
Historically, our principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the sale of common stock and preferred stock and related party
loans. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations. We expect that the principal uses of cash in the future will
be for continuing operations, funding of research and development, including our clinical trials, and general working capital requirements.
Cash
Flow Activities for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
We
incurred net losses of $5,657,137 and $2,744,780 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The
increase was primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable for clinical
trial expenses.
Operating
Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was $4,702,498 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $1,834,454 for the three months ended
March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in clinical trial expenses.
Investing
Activities
We
did not use or generate cash from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
As
of March 31, 2026, we did not have any material contractual obligations, other than employment and shareholder agreements and the license
for GP2 from HJF.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of March 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as described by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require the use of estimates, judgments
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses in the periods presented.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based
compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly given
the significant social and economic disruptions and uncertainties associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the COVID-19 control
responses. There are no critical accounting policies or estimates for the year ended December 31, 2025 and three months ended March 31,
2026.
Recent
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments. The main objective of the standard is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the
expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.
To achieve this objective, the amendments in this standard replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology
that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform
credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted
the standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s audited financial
statements and related disclosures.

In
October 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to provide detailed disclosures of specific expense
categories—such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization—within the relevant expense captions on the income
statement (e.g., Cost of Sales, SG&A). The standard is effective for fi

Results
of Operations For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Research
and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased
by $1,740,184, or approximately 11%, to $17,220,401 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $15,480,217 for the year ended December
31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of increases in clinical expenses for the Phase III clinical trial.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $70,507,
or approximately 3% to $2,227,517 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $2,157,010 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our inception in 2006, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities.
We have not yet achieved commercialization of our product and have a cumulative net loss from our operations. We will continue to incur
net losses for the foreseeable future.
We
will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through the sale
of equity and/or debt securities; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful at raising additional capital in the future.
If our plans are not achieved and/or if significant unanticipated events occur, we may have to further modify our business plan, which

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of expenses in the periods presented.
On
an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based compensation.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts
of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly given the
significant social and economic disruptions and uncertainties associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the COVID-19 control
responses. There are no critical accounting policies or estimates for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Recent
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments. The main objective of the standard is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the
expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.
To achieve this objective, the amendments in this standard replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology
that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform
credit loss estimates. The update is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted
the standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s audited consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2024, the FASB issued
ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to provide detailed disclosures of specific expense categories—such as employee
compensation, depreciation, and amortization—within the relevant expense captions on the income statement (e.g., Cost of Sales,
SG&A). The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial
statement disclosures. As this guidance relates to disclosure only, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations.

In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification
Initiative. The main objective of the amendment is to modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of various Topics in the Codification.
Certain amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. to eliminate disclosure requirements
that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded. The effective date for each amendment will be when the SEC’s
removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company

JOBS
Act
On
April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take
advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities
Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay
the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We
have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act, when available to the Company, for complying
with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.
As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for
complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, when available to the Company,
including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s
report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We
will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total
annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the
completion of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during
the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We
are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on our Phase III clinical trial, Flamingo-01, which is evaluating GLSI-100, an
immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences. GP2 is a 9 amino acid transmembrane peptide of the HER2/neu protein, a cell surface
receptor protein that is expressed in a variety of common cancers, including expression in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+), intermediate
(2+), and high (3+ or over-expressor) levels. The combination of GP2 + GM-CSF is called GLSI-100. We are currently expanding Flamingo-01
into Europe with plans to open up to 150 sites globally. Flamingo-01 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GLSI-100 in HER2/neu
positive patients with residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response at surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant
and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab based treatment.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue and we have incurred net losses. Our net losses were approximately $15.8 million and $8.9 million
for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Our
net losses have resulted from costs incurred in developing the drug in our pipeline, planning and preparing for clinical trials and general
and administrative activities associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and corresponding increased
operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our pipeline. Our costs may further increase as we conduct clinical
trials and seek regulatory approval for and prepare to commercialize our product candidate. We expect to incur significant expenses to
continue to build the infrastructure necessary to support our expanded operations, clinical trials, commercialization, including manufacturing,
marketing, sales and distribution functions. We will also experience increased costs associated with operating as a public company.

Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses increased by $5,253,407, or approximately 68%, to $12,952,029 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $7,698,622
for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of increases in clinical expenses for the Phase III clinical
trial and the one-time upfront vesting of 25% of an options grant to employees, management and the board of directors.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses increased by $1,430,544, or approximately 88% to $3,059,788 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $1,629,244

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our inception in 2006, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities.
We have not yet achieved commercialization of our product and have a cumulative net loss from our operations. We will continue to incur
net losses for the foreseeable future.
We
will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through the sale
of equity and/or debt securities; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful at raising additional capital in the future.
If our plans are not achieved and/or if significant unanticipated events occur, we may have to further modify our business plan, which
may require us to raise additional capital. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our principal source of liquidity was our
cash, which totaled $4,091,990 and $6,989,424, respectively, and additional loans and accrued unreimbursed expenses from related parties.
Historically, our principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the sale of common stock and preferred stock and related party
loans. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations. We expect that the principal uses of cash in the future will
be for continuing operations, funding of research and development, including our clinical trials, and general working capital requirements.

single-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase IIb clinical trial led by MD Anderson Cancer Center, no recurrences were observed
in patients treated with GLSI-100 in the HER2/neu 3+ adjuvant setting after median 5 years of follow-up, if the patients were
treated, followed, and remained disease free over the first 6 months, which is the time required to reach peak immunity and thus maximum
efficacy and protection (p = 0.0338). For the 146 patients who have been treated with GLSI-100 to date over 4 clinical trials, treatment
was well tolerated and no serious adverse events were observed related to the immunotherapy. We
have commenced Flamingo-01, a Phase III clinical trial with Baylor College of Medicine as the global primary investigator site. Flamingo-01
is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GLSI-100 in HER2/neu positive patients with residual disease or high-risk pathologic
complete response at surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab based treatment.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue and we have incurred net losses. Our net losses were approximately $7.8 million and $4.6 million
for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Our
net losses have resulted from costs incurred in developing the drug in our pipeline, planning and preparing for clinical trials and general
and administrative activities associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and corresponding increased
operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our pipeline. Our costs may further increase as we conduct clinical
trials and seek regulatory approval for and prepare to commercialize our product candidate. We expect to incur significant expenses to
continue to build the infrastructure necessary to support our expanded operations, clinical trials, commercialization, including manufacturing,
marketing, sales and distribution functions. We will also experience increased costs associated with operating as a public company.

Results
of Operations For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses increased by $2,916,153, or approximately 82%, to $6,475,668 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from
$3,559,515 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of increases in manufacturing and clinical
expenses for the Phase III clinical trial.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses increased by $526,158, or approximately 51% to $1,564,586 for the year ended December 31, 2022 from
$1,038,428 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of increases in cash and stock-based compensation expense.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
our inception in 2006, we have devoted most of our cash resources to research and development and general and administrative activities.
We have not yet achieved commercialization of our product and have a cumulative net loss from our operations. We will continue to incur
net losses for the foreseeable future.
We
will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through the sale
of equity and/or debt securities; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful at raising additional capital in the future.
If our plans are not achieved and/or if significant unanticipated events occur, we may have to further modify our business plan, which
may require us to raise additional capital. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our principal source of liquidity was our
cash, which totaled $13,468,026 and $27,204,269, respectively, and additional loans and accrued unreimbursed expenses from related parties.
Historically, our principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the sale of common stock and preferred stock and related party
loans. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations. We expect that the principal uses of cash in the future will
be for continuing operations, funding of research and development, including our clinical trials, and general working capital requirements.
Cash
Flow Activities for the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
We
incurred net losses of $7,825,237 and $4,570,576 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the increase was primarily the result of increases in manufacturing and clinical expenses for the Phase III clinical trial and increases
in cash and stock-based compensation expense. Cash
was $13,468,026 at December 31, 2022 and $27,204,269 at December 31, 2021 and decreased due to the following reasons:
Operating
Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was $6,200,027 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $4,291,548 for the year ended December 31,
2021. The increase was primarily the result of increases in manufacturing and clinical expenses for the Phase III clinical trial and increases
in cash compensation expense.
Investing
Activities
We
did not use or generate cash from investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash used in financing activities was $7,536,216 during the year ended December 31, 2022, attributable to the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase program. Net cash
provided by financing activities was $2,835,442 during the year ended December 31, 2021, attributable to the exercise of the
underwriter’s over-allotment option from our follow-on offering and the partial exercise of underwriter warrants.

Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
As
of December 31, 2022, we did not have any material contractual obligations, other than employment and shareholder agreements, license
for GP2 from HJF, manufacturing and clinical trial obligations related to the Phase III clinical trial.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as described by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of expenses in the periods presented.
On
an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based compensation.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts
of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly given the
significant social and economic disruptions and uncertainties associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the COVID-19 control
responses.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which provides guidance requiring lessees
to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases, with the exception of short-term
leases. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition
in the statement of income. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective October 1, 2019 and elected the package of transition practical expedients
for expired or existing contracts, which does not require reassessment of: (1) whether any of the Company’s contracts are or contain
leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements
- Leases (Topic 842).” The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. This update provides an optional transition
method that allows entities to elect to apply the standard using the modified retrospective approach at its effective date, versus recasting
the prior years presented. If this adoption method is elected, an entity would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company elected this adoption method on October 1, 2019 and the adoption did
not result in any cumulative impact to retained earnings.
Additionally,
the Company’s adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant impact on the recognition, measurement, or presentation of lease
expenses within the statements of operations or the statements of cash flows. The Company’s adoption of Topic 842 did not have
a material impact on the timing or amount of the Company’s sublease agreement.
In
January 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging
— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments
and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately
recognized from the primary contract. The guidance also includes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments
and earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of
ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
JOBS
Act
On
April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take
advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities
Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay
the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We
have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying
with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act.
As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for
complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions,
including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s
report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We
will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total
annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the
completion of our initial public offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during
the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

ITEM
7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company focused on the development of GP2, an immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences in patients who have previously
undergone surgery. GP2 is a 9 amino acid transmembrane peptide of the HER2/neu protein, a cell surface receptor protein that
is expressed in a variety of common cancers, including expression in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+), intermediate (2+), and high
(3+ or over-expressor) levels. The combination of GP2 + GM-CSF is called GLSI-100. In a completed randomized, single-blinded,
placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase IIb clinical trial led by MD Anderson Cancer Center, no recurrences were observed in patients
treated with GLSI-100 in the HER2/neu 3+ adjuvant setting after median 5 years of follow-up, if the patients were treated,
followed, and remained disease free over the first 6 months, which is the time required to reach peak immunity and thus maximum
efficacy and protection (p = 0.0338). For the 146 patients who have been treated with GLSI-100 to date over 4 clinical trials,
treatment was well tolerated and no serious adverse events were observed related to the immunotherapy. We are planning to commence
Flamingo-01, a Phase III clinical trial with Baylor College of Medicine as the global primary investigator site. Flamingo-01 is
designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GLSI-100 in HER2/neu positive patients with residual disease or high-risk
pathologic complete response at surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab based
treatment. The Phase III clinical trial protocol including the patient population, trial size, statistical analysis plan, interim
analysis, adaptive features, and manufacturing information are still under discussion with the FDA and therefore subject to change.
We are also currently completing the last steps to manufacture GP2 clinical drug product and to open clinical sites.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue and we have incurred net losses. Our net losses were approximately $4.6 million and $1.9 million
for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Our
net losses have resulted from costs incurred in developing the drug in our pipeline, planning and preparing for clinical trials and general
and administrative activities associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and corresponding increased
operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our pipeline. Our costs may further increase as we conduct clinical
trials and seek regulatory approval for and prepare to commercialize our product candidate. We expect to incur significant expenses to
continue to build the infrastructure necessary to support our expanded operations, clinical trials, commercialization, including manufacturing,
marketing, sales and distribution functions. We will also experience increased costs associated with operating as a public company.
