Nature of Business

Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”,“Company,” “we” or “our”) is a clinical stageclinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for Parkinson’s Disease, or PD, and related disorders that arise inside and outside of the brain. In 2021, we commenced clinical development of IkT-148009, a small molecule Abelson Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor we believe can modify the course of Parkinson’s disease andincluding its manifestation in the gastrointestinal tract, or GI. Results to date of our ongoingcompleted Phase 1 Single and Multiple Ascending Dose escalation study (SAD and MAD, respectively) in older and elderly healthy volunteers have revealed important insights into the metabolismsafety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IkT-148009 in human subjects. OutcomesResults from the 88 older and elderly healthy Phase 1 subjects have shown that IkT-148009 has a half-life of this study have ledgreater than 24 hours and just a 25 mg once-daily oral dose reached exposures that are consistent with the exposures to an accelerationthe drug that resulted in therapeutic efficacy in animal models of the clinical development program by more than 6 months.progressive Parkinson’s disease. In July 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”("FDA"), agreed with the Company’s plan to initiate its Phase 1b study in Parkinson’s patients which commenced dosing October 19, 2021 and was closed June 2022 after two dosing cohorts. FDA review of the Phase 1/1b data and the protocol for the follow-on Phase 2a three-month dosing study resulted in the FDA agreeing with the Company’s view that it was appropriate for the Phase 2a study to begin, prompting the Company to close the Phase 1b study after two dosing cohorts. The Phase 2a ‘201 study’ began May 23, 2022 with the opening of the first site; we have opened 11 of 40 planned sites as of August 12, 2022. 120 treatment naïve patients are planned to be enrolled in this study which will dose patients with one of three planned doses of IkT-148009 or placebo once daily for three months. In addition to primary endpoints of safety/tolerability/pharmacokinetics, a hierarchy of 15 secondary endpoints measuring drug impact on motor and non-motor features of Parkinson’s disease in the brain or GI tract will be evaluated with descriptive statistics. Patients meeting the enrollment criteria are presently being scheduled for screening visits across open sites, with clinical readouts expected sometime in the second half of 2023.

Our efforts in Parkinson’s disease are being extended into other Parkinson’s related indications, such as the orphan disease Multiple Systems Atrophy ("MSA"). Consistent with our efforts in Parkinson’s disease, our clinical pursuit of MSA depends on the outcome of animal studies modeling human MSA. In November 2020, the Company, along with its collaborators at Arizona State University, published evidence that the post-mortem MSA patient brain displayed evidence that the c-Abl kinase may play an important role in MSA, a role that mirrors the role of c-Abl in Parkinson’s. This observation prompted the initiation of two animal model studies to explore the ability of IkT-148009 to therapeutically treat MSA in animals. These model studies are ongoing and will be used to "gate" entry into clinical trials both in the U.S. and in the EU27 countries. The Company continues to prepare regulatory filings in the US and EU27 to enable the planned Phase 2 MSA trial if IkT-148009 is validated to be active in MSA in model studies. Our advancement of the pre-clinical and clinical development program for MSA has been aided by a grant from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, or NINDS, an Institute of the National Institutes of Health, for $385,888 to fund animal model studies of IkT-148009 as a therapy for MSA. The Phase 2a study proposed in MSA is planned as a safety and tolerability study in up to 19 sites in the EU27, and up to six sites in the U.S. involving 60 patients. We planPrimary endpoints in safety and tolerability with secondary and exploratory endpoints in MSA efficacy parameters will be measured and assessed with descriptive statistics following-six month daily dosing at one of two doses. Execution of this trial will require the Company to raise additional working capital.

On June 29, 2022, Inhibikase filed its Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") with the FDA in preparation to initiate dosingclinical development of IkT-001Pro, the Company's prodrug of imatinib mesylate to treat Stable-phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (SP-CML). IkT-001Pro will be evaluated in a Parkinson’s patient populationtwo-part dose finding/dose equivalence study in up to 62 healthy volunteers. The study is designed to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics of IkT-001Pro and determine the dose of IkT-001Pro equivalent to 400 mg imatinib mesylate, the standard-of-care dose for SP-CML. Assuming FDA permits the IND to proceed, Inhibikase expects to initiate this two-part bioequivalence study in the third or fourth quarter of 2021.  Clinical2022. Following the study, Inhibikase will confer with the FDA to begin the New Drug Application ("NDA") process following the proposed approval path for IkT-001Pro und the 505(b)(2) statute. The Company will simultaneously pursue a superiority study comparing the selected does of IkT-001Pro to standard-of-care 400 mg imatinib mesylate in SP-CML patients using a novel two-period wait list crossover switching study.

In the ensuing 12 months, the Company anticipates reporting the full outcomes of its completed Phase 1/1b study of IkT-148009 in older and elderly healthy subjects and in Parkinson’s patients at the Movement Disorder Society Congress in September, 2022 reporting the outcomes of the completed chronic toxicology studies in rats and monkeys for IkT-148009 to enable chronic drug administration in Parkinson’s patients in September 2022, the initiation of the effect of food on the pharmacology of IkT-148009 and the initiation of an open-label safety extension study of IkT-148009 that would be initiated in patients who completed three-month dosing in the ‘201 study’ and possibly the initiation of a Phase 2a trial in MSA. These additional clinical studies to support clinical development of IkT-148009 will require additional capital for their completion.

Our programs utilize small molecule, oral protein kinase inhibitors to treat PD and its GI complications. We have shown in animal models of progressive PD that our lead clinical candidate, IkT-148009, is a brain penetrant Abelson tyrosine kinase, or c-Abl inhibitor, that halts disease progression and reverses functional loss in the brain and reverses neurological dysfunction in the GI complicationstract in animal models of human disease. We have not yet observed reversal of functional loss in humans with IkT-148009. The ability to halt progression and restore function was shown in animal models of progressive disease that mimic the rate of disease progression and the extent of functional loss in the brain and/or the GI tract as found in patients with PD. We believe our therapeutic approach would be disease-modifying. Our understanding of how and why PD progresses has led us to believe that functional loss in Parkinson’s patients will cross-referencemay be at least partially reversed although this has not been shown clinically. Based on the Phase 1 study ofmeasurements in animal models, it is possible that patients treated with IkT-148009 may have their disease progression slowed or halted, we may see a progressive reduction in the need for symptomatic or supportive therapy and/or we may ultimately eliminate the treatment of PD.  Clinical developmentneed for symptomatic therapy. However, as of the Company’s lead oncology asset, IkT-001Pro,date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report"), it is anticipated to begin shortly after submissionunknown whether any of Company’s Investigational New Drug application for IkT-001Prothe outcomes seen in the third quarter of 2021.animal models will occur in patients following treatment with IkT-148009.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has recognized recurring losses. At June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had working capital of $47,303,263,$29,459,058, an accumulated deficit of $20,304,871,$39,098,227, cash of $46,836,556,$32,212,276, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,769,997 and notes payable of $248,911.$4,490,305. The Company had active grants in the amount of $1,546,730,$385,888, of which $772,420$314,228 remained available in accounts held by the U.S. Treasury as of April 30, 2021.August 1, 2022.

The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to successfully obtain additional working capital, obtain regulatory approval for and successfully launch and commercialize its product candidates and to ultimately attain profitable operations. Historically,Prior to its initial public offering in December 2020 (the “IPO”), the Company hashad funded its operations primarily through cash received in connection with revenue from its various grant programs. In addition, in June 2021 and December 2020, the Company raised approximately $41.1$41.1 million and $14.6$14.6 million in working capital from its underwritten public offering (the “June 2021 Offering”) and its initial public offering (“IPO”),IPO, respectively.

The Company is subject to a variety of risks similar to other early-stage life science companies including, but not limited to, the successful development, regulatory approval, and market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, and raising additional working capital. The Company has incurred significant research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses related to its product candidate programs. The Company anticipates costs and expenses to increase in the future as the Company continues to develop its product candidates.

The Company may seek to fund its operations through additional public equity, private equity, or debt financings, as well as other sources. However, the Company may be unable to raise additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. The Company’s failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition and the Company’s ability to continue to develop its product candidates.

The Company estimates that its working capital at June 30, 20212022 is sufficient to fund its normal operations into the first half of fiscalthrough December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the “SEC”) for interim financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring

adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. The December 31, 20202021 balance sheet was derived from December 31, 20202021 audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.2022. The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements

contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20202021 included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on SEC Form 10-K.

TheseThe unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On August 21, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that effected a one-for-1.14396 (1:1.14396) reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $.001 per share, effective August 24, 2020. All warrant, option, share, and per share information in the Company’s financial statements gives retroactive effect to the one-for-1.14396 reverse stock split that was effected on August 24, 2020.

The condensedconsolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP.GAAP, which prescribes elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions in the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IKT Securities Corporation, Inc., which was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in December 2021. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are generally adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as the Company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected not to “opt out” of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that it either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company utilizes certain estimates in the determination of the fair value of its stock options and warrants, deferred tax valuation allowances and revenue recognition, to record expenses relating to research and development contracts and accrued expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

For the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company derived more than 90%90% of its total revenue from a single source, the United States Government, in the form of federal research grants.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from research and development grants under contracts with third parties that do not create customer-vendor relationships. The Company’s research and development grants are non-exchange transactions and are not within the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Contribution revenue earned from activities performed pursuant to research and development grants is reported as grant revenue in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Revenue from these grants is recognized as the Company incurs qualifying expenses as stipulated by the terms of the respective grant. Cash received from grants in advance of incurring qualifying expenses is recorded as deferred revenue. The Company records revenue and a corresponding receivable when qualifying costs are incurred before the grants are received.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under the ASU 2021-09, ASU 2018-10, and ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for most lease arrangements on the Company's balance sheet. Under the standard, disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to assist users of the financial statements with assessing the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases is required.

Equipment and Improvements

Equipment and improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method, allocating the cost of the assets over their estimated usefulness from three to five years for network equipment, office equipment, and furniture classified as fixed assets.

Commitments and Contingencies

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Operations

There continues to be widespread impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, there has been a trend in many parts of the world of increasing availability and administration of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as an easing of restrictions on social, business, travel and government activities and functions. On the other hand, infection rates and regulations continue to fluctuate in various regions and there are ongoing global impacts resulting from the pandemic, including challenges and increases in costs for logistics and supply chains. The novel coronavirus SARS-Cov2, orlevel and nature of the disruption caused by COVID-19 is unpredictable, may be cyclical and long-lasting and may vary from location to location.

In addition, we have experienced and are experiencing varying levels of inflation resulting in part from various supply chain disruptions, increased shipping and transportation costs, increased raw material and labor costs and other disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is causingand general global economic conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant, industry-wide delays in clinical trials. There are multiple causes of these delays, including reluctance of patients to enroll or continue in trials for fear of exposure to COVID-19, local and regional shelter-in-place orders and regulations that discourage, hamper, or prohibit patient visits, healthcare providers and health systems shifting away from clinical trials toward the acute care of COVID-19 patients and the FDA and other regulators making product candidates for the treatment of COVID-19 a priority over product candidates unrelated to the pandemic.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, commencement of enrollment ofin our clinical trials may be delayed. In addition, after enrollment in these trials, if patients contract COVID-19 during participation in the Company’s trials or are subject to isolation or shelter-in-place restrictions, this may cause them to drop out of the Company’s trials, miss scheduled doses or follow-up visits or otherwise fail to follow trial protocols. If patients are unable to follow the trial protocols or if the Company’s trial results are otherwise affected by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient participation or actions taken to mitigate COVID-19 spread, the integrity of data from the Company’s trials may be compromised or not accepted by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, which could impact or delay a clinical development program. The Company anticipates that the COVID-19 pandemic may also impact manufacturing and distribution of materials necessary for the conductance of its clinical trials.

Although the Company did not experience a material impact on its operations during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company notes the high level of difficulty in determining the future potential adverse financial impact and other effects of COVID-19 on the Company and its programs, given the rapid and dramatic evolution in the course and impact of the pandemic and the societal and governmental response to it.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company is aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record a liability for the loss. In addition to the estimated loss, the recorded liability would include probable and estimable legal costs associated with the claim or potential claim. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business.

Lease

On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for its planned office space in Lexington, Massachusetts through July 31, 2025 (the "Office Lease"). As of June 30, 2022, the lessor was continuing to undertake extensive renovations of this space. During the period of renovation, the Company has no access to, control over or possession of the premises.

The Company will account for the Office Lease under the provisions of ASU No. 2021-09, ASU 2018-10, and ASC 842. As of June 30, 2022, the accounting commencement date had not occurred. We expect to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding

12


lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet in the period when the accounting commencement date occurs. It is anticipated that this will happen during the third quarter of 2022.

The lease contains escalating payments during the lease period. Upon execution of this lease agreement, the Company prepaid one month of rent and a security deposit, one of which will be held in escrow and credited at the termination of the lease and the other of which will be applied to the first month’s rent.

As of June 30, 2022, a security deposit of approximately $25,000 was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the Office Lease.

Minimum Bid Price of Common Stock:

In order for our common stock to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, we must meet the current continued listing requirements, which provide, among other things, that a company may be delisted if the bid price of its stock drops below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days. As of July 22, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $0.91 per share, and the minimum bid price fell below $1.00 for a period of thirty consecutive trading days.

The Company has a compliance period of 180 days in which to regain compliance. The 180-day period expires on January 23, 2023. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing price of the Company's stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the rule for minimum bid price. In the event the Company does not regain compliance, the Company may be eligible for additional time under certain Nasdaq rules.

Overview

We areInhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) is a clinical stageclinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for Parkinson’s Disease, or PD, and related disorders that arise inside and outside of the brain. In 2021, we commenced clinical development of IkT-148009, a small molecule Abelson Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor we believe can modify the course of Parkinson’s disease andincluding its manifestation in the gastrointestinal tract, or GI. Results to date of our ongoingcompleted Phase 1 Single and Multiple Ascending Dose escalation study (SAD and MAD, respectively) in older and elderly healthy volunteers have revealed important insights into the metabolismsafety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of IkT-148009 in human subjects. We enrolled 56 subjectsinResults from the 88 older and elderly healthy Phase 1 study.To date,42 subjectshave receivedIkT-148009. ResultsfromthePhase 1 studyhave shown thatIkT-148009has a half-lifeof greaterthan24 hours and just a 25 mg once dailyonce-daily oral dose in older and elderly healthy subjects in our Phase 1 study reached exposures that are consistent with the exposureexposures to the drug that resulted in therapeutic efficacy in animal models of progressive Parkinson’s disease. This has ledIn July 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA"), agreed with the Company’s plan to an accelerationinitiate its Phase 1b study in Parkinson’s patients which commenced dosing October 19, 2021 and was closed June 2022 after two dosing cohorts. FDA review of the Phase 1/1b data and the protocol for the follow-on Phase 2a three-month dosing study resulted in the FDA agreeing with the Company’s view that it was appropriate for the Phase 2a study to begin, prompting the Company to close the Phase 1b study after two dosing cohorts. The Phase 2a ‘201 study’ began May 23, 2022 with the opening of the first site; we have opened 11 of 40 planned sites as of August 12, 2022. 120 treatment naïve patients are planned to be enrolled in this study which will dose patients with one of three planned doses of IkT-148009 or placebo once daily for three months. In addition to primary endpoints of safety/tolerability/pharmacokinetics, a hierarchy of 15 secondary endpoints measuring drug impact on motor and non-motor features of Parkinson’s disease in the brain or GI tract will be evaluated with descriptive statistics. Patients meeting the enrollment criteria are presently being scheduled for screening visits across open sites, with clinical readouts expected sometime in the second half of 2023.

Our efforts in Parkinson’s disease are being extended into other Parkinson’s-related indications, such as the orphan disease Multiple Systems Atrophy ("MSA"). Consistent with our efforts in Parkinson’s disease, our clinical pursuit of MSA depends on the outcome of animal studies modeling human MSA. In November 2020, the Company, along with its collaborators at Arizona State University, published evidence that the post-mortem MSA patient brain displayed evidence that the c-Abl kinase may play an important role in MSA, a role that mirrors the role of c-Abl in Parkinson’s. This observation prompted the initiation of two animal model studies to explore the ability of IkT-148009 to therapeutically treat MSA in animals. These model studies are ongoing and will be used to "gate" entry into clinical trials both in the U.S. and in the EU27 countries. The Company continues to prepare regulatory filings in the US and EU27 to enable the planned Phase 2 MSA trial if IkT-148009 is validated to be active in MSA in model studies. Our advancement of the pre-clinical and clinical development program for MSA received a grant from the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, or NINDS, an Institute of the National Institutes of Health, for $385,888 to fund animal model

14


studies of IkT-148009 as a therapy for MSA. The Phase 2a study proposed in MSA is planned as a safety and tolerability study in up to 19 sites in the EU27, and up to six sites in the U.S. involving 60 patients. Primary endpoints in safety and tolerability with secondary and exploratory endpoints in MSA efficacy parameters will be measured and assessed with descriptive statistics following six-month daily dosing at one of two doses. Execution of this trial will require the Company to raise additional working capital.

On June 29, 2022, Inhibikase filed its Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") with the FDA in preparation to initiate clinical development of IkT-001Pro, the Company's prodrug of imatinib mesylate to treat Stable-phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (SP-CML). Due to a clerical error in the submission, the review of the IND was delayed by more than 6 months.  Following agreementswith20 days, but the Division of Hematological Malignancies confirmed that FDAwe review of the IND should be completed no later than August 26, 2022.

Our Programs

Our portfolio is focused on developingutilize small molecule, oral protein kinase inhibitors to treat PD and its GI complications. We have shown in animal models of progressive PD that our lead clinical candidate, IkT-148009, is a brain penetrant Abelson tyrosine kinase, or c-Abl inhibitor, that halts disease progression and reverses functional loss in the brain and reverses neurological dysfunction in the GI tract in animal models of human disease. We have not yet observed reversal of functional loss in humans with IkT-148009. The ability to halt progression and restore function was shown in animal models of progressive disease that arisemimic the rate of disease progression and the extent of functional loss in the brain and/or the GI tract as found in patients with PD. We believe our therapeutic approach would be disease-modifying. Our understanding of how and why PD progresses has led us to believe that functional loss in Parkinson’s patients may be at least partially reversed although this has not been shown clinically. Based on the measurements in animal models, it is possible that patients treated with IkT-148009 may have their disease progression slowed or halted, we may see a progressive reduction in the need for symptomatic or supportive therapy and/or we may ultimately eliminate the need for symptomatic therapy. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report"), it is unknown whether any of the outcomes seen in the animal models will occur in patients following treatment with IkT-148009.

Impact of the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine

In late February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia and other countries in the region and in the west, including the U.S. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia’s actions, the larger overarching tensions, and Ukraine’s military response and the potential for wider conflict have resulted in financial market volatility and capital markets disruption and inflation, potentially increasing in magnitude, and could have severe adverse effects on regional and global economic markets and international relations. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.

Following Russia’s actions, various countries, including the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. Such sanctions included, among other things, a prohibition on doing business with certain Russian companies, officials and oligarchs; a commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from dysfunctional alpha-synuclein in PD patients.  Using IkT-148009, we intendthe Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) electronic banking network that connects banks globally; a ban on Russian oil and gas imports to clinically evaluatethe U.S.; and restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of c-Abl inhibitionthe sanctions. The current sanctions (and potential further sanctions in response to continued Russian military activity) and other actions may have adverse effects on newly diagnosed PD patients, patients earlyregional and global economic markets and lead to

instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds and increasing the coursevolatility of PD, and PD patients with GI complications.  We are pursuing clinical development using a sequential Phase 1/ Phase 2 development approach, with the detailsour stock price. Any of the Phase 2 studies subject to agreements with the FDA regarding trial designabovementioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and the outcome of the Phase 1 clinical trial.  The Phase 1/Phase 2 development program, subject to FDA approval, would be followed with one or more Phase 3 clinical trials that we believe could lead to completion of the clinical development program in 2023 or 2024.  IkT-148009 is intended to treat PD in treatment-naïve and early-stage PD patients, along with GI complications such as difficulty in swallowing, or dysphagia, and for treatment of neurogenic constipation.  

In addition to programs in PD, our platform drug discovery and delivery technologies have identified additional opportunities, including a potential treatment for bacterial or viral infections in the brain using a single agent at fixed dose, and an oncology opportunity in stable-phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, or CML.  Our product for CML, IkT-001Pro, is a prodrug of the anticancer agent Imatinib.  A prodrug is a compound that, after administration, is metabolized by the body into a pharmacologically

active drug.  Imatinib is an FDA designated Orphan Drug and is the standard-of-care treatment for stable-phase CML.  In the United States, Orphan Drug designation entitles a party to incentives such as opportunities for grant funding towards clinical trial costs, tax advantages, and user-fee waivers.  We remain on track to submit an IND to initiate clinical development for IkT-001Pro in the third quarter of 2021.  Subject to future FDA agreements related to the clinical protocol design and execution of the clinical development program and additional funding, we believe that clinical development of IkT-001Pro could possibly be completed in 2022.  We intend to submit a new drug application, or NDA, for IkT-001Pro pursuant to Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which specifies the requirements for approval.  This pathway would allow us to rely, in part, on data in the public domain or the FDA’s prior conclusions regarding the safety and effectiveness of an approved compound.  Consistent with FDA guidance on the 505(b)(2) pathway, we will seek input from the FDA as to what should be included in the application prior to submission of the 505(b)(2) application.  Pursuit of this oncology opportunity will seek to validate the pharmacology advantage of our prodrug technology in a well understood patient population with an approved drug substance.  If we are able to validate IkT-001Pro in oncology, we will evaluate whether the pharmacology advantages we discover about IkT-001Pro could be applied to novel drug substances, such as IkT-148009.

Additional research programs will seek to develop medications for other alpha-synuclein-related diseases, specifically Dementia with Lewy Body, or DLB, and Multiple System Atrophy, or MSA, as well as our programs in anti-infectives that target host-factors to block viral or bacterial infections in the brain with a single agent at fixed dose.  Our first application intends to treat infectious disease by suppressing John Cunningham virus, or JCV, virus infection, the cause of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, or PML.

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development activities account for a significant portion of our operating expenses.  Research and development expenses accounted for 26% and 37% of our operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We record research and development expenses as incurred. Research and development expenses incurred by us for the discovery and development of our product candidates and prodrug technologies include:

external research and development expenses, including expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as CROs, preclinical testing organizations, clinical testing organizations, CMOs, academic and non-profit institutions and consultants;
fees related to our license and collaboration agreements;
personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and
other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for laboratory, facilities and other costs.

external research and development expenses, including: expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as CROs, preclinical testing organizations, clinical testing organizations, CMOs, academic and non-profit institutions and consultants;

fees related to our license and collaboration agreements;

personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and

other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for laboratory, facilities and other costs.

A portion of our research and development expenses are direct external expenses, which we track on a program-specific basis from inception of the program.

Program expenses include expenses associated with our most advanced product candidates and the discovery and development of compounds that are potential future candidates. We also track external expenses associated with our third-party research and development efforts. All external costs are tracked by therapeutic indication. We do not track personnel or other operating expenses incurred for our research and development programs on a program-specific basis. These expenses primarily relate to salaries and benefits and stock-based compensation and office consumables.

At this time, we can only estimate the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of, and obtain regulatory approval for, any of our product candidates. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from sales or licensing of our product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with drug development, including the uncertainty of:

our ability to add and retain key research and development personnel and other key employees;
our ability to successfully file IND's and NDA's with the FDA;
our ability to conduct and continue trials;
our ability to commence future trials;
our ability to establish an appropriate safety profile with IND-enabling toxicology studies;
our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and then successfully commercialize our product candidates;
our successful enrollment in and completion of our current and future clinical trials;
the costs associated with the development of any additional product candidates we identify in-house or acquire through collaborations;
our ability to discover, develop and utilize biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement, pathway engagement and the impact on disease progression of our molecules;
our ability to establish agreements with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for any future clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, if our product candidates are approved;

16


the terms and timing of any collaboration, license or other arrangement, including the terms and timing of any milestone payments thereunder;
our ability to obtain and maintain patent, trade secret and other intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates if and when approved;
our receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
the impact of the COVID-19;
our ability to commercialize products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; and
the continued acceptable safety profiles of the product candidates following approval.

our ability to add and retain key research and development personnel and other key employees;

our ability to successfully file investigational new drug (“IND”) and new drug applications (“NDA”) with the FDA;

our ability to conduct and commence trials;

our ability to establish an appropriate safety profile with IND-enabling toxicology studies;


our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and then successfully commercialize, our product candidates;

our successful enrollment in and completion of our current and future clinical trials;

the costs associated with the development of any additional product candidates we identify in-house or acquire through collaborations;

our ability to discover, develop and utilize biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement, pathway engagement and the impact on disease progression of our molecules;

our ability to establish agreements with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for any future clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, if our product candidates are approved;

the terms and timing of any collaboration, license or other arrangement, including the terms and timing of any milestone payments thereunder;

our ability to obtain and maintain patent, trade secret and other intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates if and when approved;

our receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

the impact of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, pandemic which has had an adverse impact on our business, including our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

our ability to commercialize products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; and

the continued acceptable safety profiles of the product candidates following approval.

A change in any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates would significantly change the costs, timing and viability associated with the development of that product candidate. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the next several years as we continue to implement our business strategy, advance our current programs, expand our research and development efforts, seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, access and develop additional product candidates and incur expenses associated with hiring additional personnel to support our research and development efforts. In addition, product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally incur higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, expenses for outside professional services and allocated expenses. Outside professional services consist of legal, accounting and audit services, investor relations services and other consulting fees. Allocated expenses consist of rent expenses related to our offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia not otherwise included in research and development expenses.

We expect to incurare incurring additional expenses as compared to when we were a private company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and those of any national securities exchange on which our securities are traded,Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to increaseare increasing our administrative headcount when operating as a public company and as we advance our product candidates through clinical development, which will also likely require us to increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase was driven by increased grant research activity during 2021 compared to 2020. During 2020,2022, the Company’s focus was shifted toward advancing its Phase IPD clinical trialtrials which did not result in significant grant revenue. The Company is utilizing its increased working capital and personnel resources in 20212022 to carry on its Phase IPD clinical trialtrials in addition to its grant research activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

From our inception through June 30, 2021,up until our December 2020 Initial Public Offering, we have funded our operations primarily through private, state and federal contracts and grants. From our inception through June 30, 2021,2022, we generated aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $20.4$23.5 million from private, state and federal contracts and grants. In addition, in June 2021 and December 2020, the Company raised approximately $41.1 million and $14.6 million in working capital from its Juneunderwritten public offering (the "June 2021 OfferingOffering") and its IPO,initial public offering in December 2020 (the "IPO"), respectively.

We are able to sell securities on a shelf registration statement pursuant to the ATM Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co. Under current Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, because our public float was less than $75 million at the relevant measurement period pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. to Form S-3, the amount we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any subsequent 12-month period under our shelf registration statement is limited to an aggregate of one-third of our public float until such time, if any, as our public float is $75 million or more.

Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions.

No securities have been sold under the ATM during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2021,2022, the Company had working capital of $47,303,263,$29,459,058, an accumulated deficit of $20,304,871,$39,098,227, cash of $46,836,556,$32,212,276, and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,769,997$4,490,305 The Company had active grants in the amount of $1,546,730,$385,888, of which $772,420$314,228 remained available in accounts held by the U.S. Treasury as of April 30, 2021.August 1, 2022.

Future Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of commercial products. We do not expect to generate any significant revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and successfully commercialize any of our product

16


candidates and we do not know when, or if, this will occur. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect the losses to increase as we continue the development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and begin to commercialize any future approved products. We are subject to all of the risks typically related to the development of new product candidates, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. Moreover, following the completion of the December 2020 IPO, we are incurringincurred additional costs associated with operating as a public company. We anticipate that we will need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations beyond 2022.through December 31, 2023.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, if ever, we expect to finance our incremental cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, working capital lines of credit, grant funding and potential licenses and collaboration agreements. Additional working capital may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, reduce or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, it could result in dilution to our existing stockholders, increased fixed payment obligations and the existence of securities with rights that may be senior to those of our common stock. If we incur indebtedness, we could become subject to covenants that would restrict our operations and potentially impair our competitiveness, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, any future collaborations we enter into with third parties may provide capital in the near term but limit our potential cash

19


flow and revenue in the future. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have an accumulated deficit of $20,304,871$39,098,227 at June 30, 2021.2022. We expect to incur substantial additional losses in the future as we conduct and expand our research and development activities.

We may seek to fund our operations through public equity or private equity or debt financings, as well as other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional working capital, or if we are able to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to continue to develop our product candidates.

The Company had working capital of $47,303,263$29,459,058 at June 30, 20212022 and active grants in the amount of $1,546,730,$385,888, of which $772,420$314,228 remained available in accounts held by the U.S. Treasury as of April 30, 2021.August 1, 2022. The Company estimates that its working capital at June 30, 2021August 11, 2022 is sufficient to funds itfund its normal operations into the first half of fiscalthrough December 31, 2023.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

The expected use of the net proceeds from our June 2021 Offering and December 2020 IPO represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. However, we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our working capital sooner than planned.

The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:

the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;
the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;
possible delays or interruptions to preclinical studies, clinical trials, our receipt of services from our third-party service providers on whom we rely, or our supply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic;
the progress of the development efforts of third parties with whom we have entered into license and collaboration agreements;
our ability to maintain our current research and development programs and to establish new research and development, license or collaboration arrangements;
our ability and success in securing manufacturing relationships with third parties or, in the future, in establishing and operating a manufacturing facility;
the costs involved in prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property claims;
the cost and timing of regulatory approvals;
our efforts to enhance operational, financial and information management systems and hire additional personnel, including personnel to support development of our product candidates; and
the costs and ongoing investments to in-license and/or acquire additional technologies.

the costs and ongoing investments to in-license and/or acquire additional technologies.

A change in the outcome of any of these or other variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. Furthermore, our operating plans may change in the future, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements associated with such operating plans.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred

18


during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Research and Development Expenses

We record research and development expenses to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses represent costs incurred by us for the discovery and development of our product candidates and the development of our RAMP™ drug discovery program and prodrug technologies and include: employee-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expense; external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as CROs, preclinical testing organizations, clinical testing organizations, CMOs, academic and non-profit institutions and consultants; costs to acquire technologies to be used in research and development that have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use; license fees; and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for laboratory, facilities and other costs.

As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we are required to estimate and accrue expenses. A portion of our research and development expenses areis external costs, which we track on a program-specific basis. We record the estimated expenses of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers as they are incurred and provided within research and development expense in the statements of operations. These services include the conduct of clinical studies, preclinical studies and consulting services. These costs are a significant component of our research and development expenses.

Costs for research and development activities are recognized based on costs incurred. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued estimates. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed may vary from our estimates and could result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. Our accrued expenses are dependent, in part, upon the receipt of timely and accurate reporting from external clinical research organizations and other third-party service providers. Due to the nature of estimates, we cannot assure you that we will not make changes to our estimates in the future as we become aware of additional information about the status or conduct of our clinical trials and other research activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure regarding quantitative and qualitative market risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e)13a-15(b) and 15d-15(e)15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021.2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicableIn addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. These risk factors could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Additional factors and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

If we fail to comply with the continuing listing standards of Nasdaq, our securities could be delisted, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “IKT”. For our common stock to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, we must meet the current continued listing requirements, which provide, among other things, that a company may be delisted if the bid price of its stock drops below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days. As of July 22, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $0.91 per share, and the minimum bid price fell below $1.00 for a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days as of July 22, 2022.

The Company has a compliance period of 180 days, in which to regain compliance. The 180-day period expires on January 23, 2023. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the rule for minimum bid price. In the event the Company does not regain compliance, the Company may be eligible for additional time under certain Nasdaq rules. If we arewere unable to meet these requirements, our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq.

If our common stock were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock could begin to trade on one of the markets operated by OTC Markets Group, including OTCQX, OTCQB or OTC Pink, as the case may be. In such event, our common stock could be subject to the “penny stock” rules which among other things require brokers or dealers to approve investors’ accounts, receive written agreements and determine investor suitability for transactions and disclose risks relating to investing in the penny stock market. Any such delisting of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a smaller reporting company.given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and less coverage of us by securities analysts, if any. Also, if in the future we were to determine that we need to seek additional equity capital, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital in the public or private equity markets.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In May 2021, the Company issued 73,496 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of non-qualified stock options with a strike price of $0.38 per share.  All such securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of that Act.None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.
