NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited and Expressed in U.S. Dollars, except share amounts)

1.	NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the province of Alberta on May 12, 2011, under the name Plaza Capital Partners Inc. On May 11, 2012, the Company changed its name to Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Inc. and continued from the province of Alberta to the province of British Columbia.

On October 10, 2012, Eupraxia Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. On November 16, 2012, Holdings was registered as an extra-provincial corporation under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. On October 10, 2012, Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals USA, LLC (“Eupraxia USA”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. On November 16, 2012, Eupraxia USA was registered as an extra-provincial corporation under the laws of the province of British Columbia. On January 7, 2021, Eupraxia Pharma, Inc. (“Eupraxia Pharma”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. On July 4, 2022, Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Australia Pty Ltd. (“Eupraxia Australia”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Victoria, Australia. On May 17, 2023, Eupraxia Pharma USA Inc. (“Eupraxia Pharma USA”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

On March 9, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and began trading under the symbol “EPRX”. On April 5, 2024, the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EPRX”.

The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary Diffusphere™ technology to optimize drug delivery for applications with significant unmet medical need. The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is 201- 2067 Cadboro Bay Road, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $19,765,644. The Company has not yet generated revenue from operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $15,514,958 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $146,507,355. As the Company is in the research and development stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary funding to complete the research and development of its projects and upon future commercialization or proceeds from the monetization of research activities.

The Company will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and recently raised $31,705,219 through a non-brokered private placement of 8,905,638 convertible preferred shares on October 31, 2024. Although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future, especially with the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty affecting the global capital markets. The Company is active in its pursuit of additional funding through potential partnering and other strategic activities as well as grants to fund future research and development activities, and additional equity financing.

The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional funding. There is a risk that in the future, additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These events and conditions may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s 2024 Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with SEC and on SEDAR+ on March 21, 2025.

3.	UPCOMING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Yabema Capital Limited

On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a new CDN$12 million convertible debt facility (the “Convertible Debt Facility”). Under the Convertible Debt Facility, Yabema Capital Limited and other current Eupraxia shareholders (together, the “Lenders”) made available for drawdown an aggregate amount of CDN$12 million for a period of 120 days following entry into the agreement. The Convertible Debt Facility was to mature 24 months from August 1, 2024 (the closing date) and could be extended for an additional 12 months at the Lenders’ option. The decision to draw on the facility within 120 days of closing was at the discretion of Eupraxia and was subject to the full and final release of the Debt Agreement. Commitment fees of $355,582 (CDN$480,000) were incurred by the Company.

The aggregate unpaid principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon would be convertible at the discretion of the lenders into Eupraxia common shares at a conversion price equal to CDN$4.84375 per common share.

The Company granted the Lenders a security interest in all of its assets, excluding its patents and other intellectual property. As a result of the closing of the Convertible Preferred Share Offering, on October 31, 2024 (see Note 12 – Convertible Preferred Shares), the Company entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with the Lenders to terminate the Convertible Debt Facility and discharge all security interests.

12.	SHARE CAPITAL AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF EQUITY (continued)

Issued (Preferred Shares)

On October 31, 2024, the Company issued convertible preferred shares in a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Share Offering, the Company issued 8,905,638 convertible preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) at a price of CDN$5.00 for aggregate gross proceeds of $31,997,837 (CDN$44,528,190).

The Company paid $242,116 (CDN$336,928) in legal expenses and an additional $50,502 ($70,279) in listing fees were paid in association with the Preferred Share Offering. Each Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into one common share without additional consideration.

The Preferred Shares would also mandatorily convert into common shares on a one-to-one basis, without additional consideration, upon the earliest of: (i) the common shares of the Company trade at a price of CDN$15.00 per common share on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC based on an average daily trading volume of at least 50,000 common shares during the rolling six-month period, or (ii) the holders of the Preferred Shares representing 75% of the outstanding Preferred Shares vote or consent to convert all outstanding Preferred Shares, in the event a liquidating event such as an amalgamation, arrangement, merger, reorganization or similar transaction occurs, provided that the conversion ratio will not be adjusted unless the Company receives all necessary TSX and shareholder approvals.

The Preferred Shares have a redemption feature that is subject to the occurrence of certain events, all of which are in the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Preferred Shares are classified as permanent equity.

The Preferred Shares will not initially be entitled to any dividends. Following the third anniversary of closing of the Private Placement, and subject to shareholder approval, any unconverted Preferred Shares will be entitled to a quarterly dividend equal to 1.5% (6% annually) of the original issue price, payable in additional Preferred Shares (the “PIK Preferred Shares”). If shareholder approval for the PIK Preferred Shares is not obtained by the third anniversary of closing, the quarterly dividends will be paid in cash at a rate of 2% (8% annually). No dividends will be payable on Common Shares while any Preferred Shares remain issued and outstanding. The Preferred Shares were not issued at a discount, so the impact of this feature is limited to the amounts allocable to common shareholders in calculating earnings per share.

Omnibus Incentive Plan

The 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), initially approved by the Board of Directors on February 17, 2025 (later amended on April 25, 2025) was ratified by Shareholders on June 2, 2025. The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards (each an “Award” and collectively, the “Awards”) at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan is a rolling maximum number equal to 18.5% of the issued and outstanding The Omnibus Plan is considered to be an “evergreen” plan as Common Shares covered by Awards which have been exercised or settled, as applicable, will be available for subsequent grant under the Omnibus Plan and the number of Awards that may be granted under the Omnibus Plan increases if the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares increases.

12.	SHARE CAPITAL AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF EQUITY (continued)

Class B Non-Voting shares

On January 31, 2021, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with the Chief Scientific Officer of the Company, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company acquired AMDM Holdings Inc., a corporation wholly-owned by the Chief Scientific Officer, which held 5% of the equity interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Eupraxia USA. In exchange, the Company issued to the Chief Scientific Officer 225 non-voting Class B shares (the “Class B Shares”) in Eupraxia Pharma Inc. representing 5% of the outstanding securities of Eupraxia Pharma. The Company holds the remaining 95% of such securities, which consists of 4,275 voting Class A shares.

Each Class B Share is exchangeable into common shares of the Company based on an exchange rate of 2,500 common shares for each Class B Share, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, for a total of 562,500 common shares. The Class B Shares are exchangeable by the Chief Scientific Officer at her election, provided that the Company may force the exchange of the Class B Shares into common shares of the Company at any time on or after January 31, 2031, or on or after January 31, 2026, if the Company is listed on a stock exchange and is a reporting issuer in Canada at such time. The Company may also force the exchange of the Class B Shares into common shares if there is a change of control transaction involving the Company, a change in law which makes the exchange necessary or desirable or if there are a de minimis number of Class B Shares outstanding. If the Company is listed on a stock exchange at the time of the applicable exchange, the Company may elect to pay the Chief Scientific Officer cash in lieu of issuing common shares, with such cash amount to be determined based on the then current market price of the common shares of the Company.

Earnings (loss) per Share

As a result of the Preferred Shares being classified as increasing rate preferred stock with dividends not being declared until the third anniversary of closing of the Private Placement, the Company has calculated an implied dividend in determining the loss attributable to common shareholders. The impact on loss per share on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is as follows:

15.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be required to make milestone, royalty, and other research and development funding payments under agreements with third parties (see Note 10 – Auritec License Agreement). These payments are contingent upon the achievement of specific development, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. The Company has not accrued these payments as at June 30, 2025 due to the uncertainty over whether these milestones will be achieved.

ii.

Eupraxia has entered into a number of service contracts with its vendors. Some of those contracts have cancellation clauses which state Eupraxia would pay a cancellation fee of between 15% and 100% of the next service milestone if it terminates the contract. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there have been no cancellation of contracts that would trigger a cancellation fee.

iii.

The Company has entered into service agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions that are customary in the industry. These indemnification provisions generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third-party claims or damages arising from these transactions.

The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company currently holds commercial general liability insurance. This insurance limits the Company’s exposure and may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and the Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations for any period presented.

16.	SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates as a single reportable segment with the CODM being the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who manages the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

As the Company does not currently generate revenue, the CODM assesses Company performance through the achievement of pre-clinical and clinical research goals while evaluating the Company’s performance and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a total company basis. This enables the CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources.

The CODM uses net loss to monitor budget versus actual results and to analyze cash flows in assessing performance of the segment and allocating resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets, with a majority of these assets located in Canada.

The following table presents information about significant segment expenses and segment loss:

17.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments for the current and comparative periods consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and payable to Auritec.

There were no changes to the Company’s risk exposures or management of risks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company believes it has no significant credit risk, as its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, being its primary exposure to credit risk, are held with a large Canadian bank. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of these financial assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to the extent possible to meet liabilities when due. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $19,765,644 (2024 - $33,101,294) in addition to current liabilities of $2,618,381 (2024 - $3,103,386). Management is currently working on certain strategic alternatives including, but not limited to raising additional capital. There is no assurance, however, that any or all of these alternatives will materialize or that additional funding will be available, if and when needed.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk; and to the extent that the prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rate on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk due to its frequency of transactions in US dollars. The Company does not use derivatives to hedge against this risk, however, it does purchase US dollars to cover anticipated costs that will be denominated in US dollars.

17.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Currency risk (continued)

At June 30, 2025, the Company held cash of $11,037,175 (2024 – $3,740,799) and had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $825,959 (2024 – $376,541) denominated in US dollars which were translated to Canadian dollars at 1.3643 (2024 – 1.4389). The impact of a 10% change in the exchange rates would have an impact of approximately $1,021,122 (2024 – $336,426) on profit or loss. The Company held cash of $508,184 (2024 - $149,736), accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $302,995 (2024 - $120,361) and had $nil in accounts receivable (2024 - $258,074) denominated in Australian Dollars which were translated into Canadian Dollars at 0.8949 (2024 – 0.8915). The impact of a 10% change in the exchange rate would have an impact of approximately $13,459 (2024 - $17,810) on profit or loss. The Company also has accounts payable in Great British pounds, Euros, and New Zealand dollars. The impact of a 10% change in the exchanges of these currencies would have an immaterial effect on future cash flows.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk and foreign currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to significant price risk with respect to commodity or equity prices.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observation of inputs used in the measurement.

Level 1: Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2: Fair value is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Fair value is based on valuation techniques that require one or more significant unobservable inputs

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

The following table summarizes information regarding the classification and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost:


Financial assets/liabilities	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cash	$	19,765,644	$	33,101,294
Amounts receivable	$	134,607	$	228,872
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	2,583,316	$	3,031,527

The Company did not have non-cash transactions for three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

20.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 15, 2025, the Company signed a Second Lease Renewal Agreement (“Renewal Agreement”) whereby the Company renewed its lease for its Victoria, BC facility for additional twelve months commencing December 1, 2025 and ending November 30, 2026. In addition, the Renewal Agreement allows the Company to renew its lease for additional twelve months commencing December 1, 2026 and ending November 30, 2027. All other terms of the lease remain unchanged.

•

we have a limited operating history and have no products approved for commercial sale, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and predict our future success and viability;

If we are unable to complete development of, obtain approval for and commercialize EP-104GI or EP-104IAR, alone or through a potential partnership, in a timely manner, our business will be harmed;

•

Overview of the Company

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to leverage our proprietary Diffusphere™ technology to optimize drug delivery for applications with significant unmet medical need. Each of our product candidates is designed to improve patient benefit by providing more prolonged activity than currently available treatments, combined with an improved pharmacokinetics (“PK”) and related safety profile and precisely targeted local delivery. We believe a product with this profile could offer the dual potential of providing long-lasting treatment while minimizing tolerability complications in target and non-target tissues. Our strategy is to develop a portfolio of product candidates based on this delivery technology.

We currently have two distinct clinical development programs, one targeting eosinophilic esophagitis (“EoE”) and the second targeting chronic osteoarthritis (“OA”) pain in the knee. Both programs are broadly based upon the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”), fluticasone propionate. The injectable drug is dispensed together with a “vehicle” diluent specifically designed for the target delivery modality and co-administered with the API. For our ongoing clinical studies, we are using the same underlying API and extended-release formulation. In the future, we anticipate that therapeutic targets will be differentiated by dosing levels, vehicle and delivery methods and will be distinct product candidates. The product candidate that is being developed specifically for submucosal injections in the GI tract with an initial indication of EoE is referred to as EP-104GI, and the product candidate that is being developed for intra-articular (“IA”) injections with an initial indication of knee OA is referred to as EP-104IAR. EP-104 is intended to refer to the extended-release Fluticasone Propionate encapsulated with the DiffusphereTM technology, which is used in the formulation of both EP-104GI and EP-104IAR.

We are currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial with EP-104GI in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. We also received pre-IND feedback from the FDA on December 3, 2024, to clarify IND-enabling early phase program requirements for conducting studies in the US. We intend to continue development of EP-104GI through the ongoing clinical trial and any subsequent trials and other testing required by the FDA for submission of an NDA to obtain approval for marketing in the United States. We intend to evaluate the possibility of identifying a European corporate partner to help with the development of EP-104GI.

We have successfully completed a Phase 2b clinical trial with EP-104IAR in knee OA, and in January 2024 held a meeting with the FDA to determine the late phase program requirements for an NDA submission and potential approval in the United States. We believe that the future success of the product candidate will be dependent on late phase development and commercialization expertise and will require significant resources. We are currently evaluating funding alternatives for the continued development of EP-104IAR, including potential partnership opportunities and intend to modulate investment levels pending the outcomes. We are undertaking certain preclinical and manufacturing activities as well as Phase 3 planning and preparation related to EP-104IAR to ensure continuity of the project, but we intend to wait until we have funding needs addressed before committing to additional significant spend for this program. We intend to use our capital resources previously identified for EP-104IAR development to continue development of EP-104GI.

EP-104 (Long-Acting Fluticasone Propionate Injectable Suspension)

The primary active ingredient of the EP-104 product candidates consists of a solid core of fluticasone propionate (“FP”) coated with an outer layer of polyvinyl alcohol (“PVA”). FP is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory activity and a well-established systemic safety record in the form of widely used inhaled, intranasal, and topical agents. It has been shown to be locally active, and FP that is systemically absorbed is rapidly metabolized. Relative to other corticosteroids (including triamcinolone acetonide or “TCA”), FP has a high affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor, low solubility, a low rate of dissociation, and a comparatively long half-life. It is currently approved by the FDA, Health Canada, European Medicines Agency, and many other regulatory agencies around the world. PVA is a biocompatible polymer with numerous biomedical applications and a 30-year safety record in various human tissues. We believe these characteristics make EP-104 a promising candidate for prolonged anti-inflammatory use.

EP-104 technology is designed to work through diffusion of the drug particles through a microns-thin polymer membrane. When the particles are injected at the disease site, extracellular fluid diffuses across the polymer membrane and into the particles themselves, dissolving some of the solid drug core creating a saturated drug solution inside the microsphere with relatively low drug concentrations outside the microenvironment. Steady-state diffusion of FP across the polymer membrane and into the extracellular space then delivers the drug candidate to the intended area at a prolonged and steady rate with close to constant drug levels. This rate can be controlled by changing the size of the drug core and the properties of the polymer membrane, creating a target drug release profile designed to maximize disease treatment and reduce systemic and local adverse events often accompanying drugs having conventional release profiles.

Another key feature differentiating EP-104 from other extended-release IA corticosteroid formulations is that more than 90% by weight of EP-104 is the active FP component in the investigational drug product, compared to less than 30% in other polymer-based extended-release products which use degradation.

FP, although approved by the FDA, Health Canada, EMA and other regulatory agencies, is not currently approved for use in any formulation for the treatment of symptoms in either EoE or OA. To our knowledge, EP-104GI and EP-104IAR are the only extended-release formulations of FP in development for these conditions. We believe that the EP-104 drug delivery technology platform has the potential to have a beneficial application for EoE, given the already-established efficacy of oral immediate release of FP in this indication. We believe the drug delivery technology platform also has the potential to be an effective treatment for OA based on the proven efficacy of other corticosteroids for this condition. The potential for an improved treatment of EoE and OA with our proprietary formulations of EP-104 is further supported by a continually expanding library of data supporting the value of extended-release steroids.

EP-104 consists of a vial of EP-104 powder and a separate vial of liquid (referred to as the “Vehicle”). Before injection, the Vehicle is mixed with the dry powder to suspend the EP-104 particles; this enables the EP-104 powder to be injected into the patient. In an ongoing stability study, the powder has proven stable for 48 months when stored at room temperature. Batches of EP-104 are currently manufactured at the projected initial batch scale required for launch.

EP-104GI for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

EP-104 is being developed for the treatment of EoE, a disease that was once classified by the U.S. National Organization for Rare Disorders (“NORD”) as a rare disease, but that has been steadily increasing in prevalence such that it is no longer considered rare. We believe adaptations to the original formulation of EP-104 will result in the creation of EP-104GI for this specific indication, including modifications to the carrier vehicle and dose.

EoE is characterized by inflammation and the accumulation of large numbers of eosinophils (a type of white blood cells) within the epithelial lining of the esophagus. In adults, EoE leads to dysphagia and food impaction. In children, it often presents with irritability, nausea and vomiting. Patients with EoE frequently develop esophageal strictures, a narrowing or tightening of the esophagus, accompanied by proliferations of fibrotic tissue.

Development of EP-104GI for EoE

Non-clinical Studies

Non-clinical studies are underway to support the registration program. These activities include safety and biocompatibility evaluations of EP-104IAR excipients and non-clinical studies to provide information needed to support the continued clinical investigation of EP-104GI product candidates in humans.

Clinical Studies

The RESOLVE clinical study is active at sites in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand, with expansion planned in other jurisdictions. The trial comprises two parts: (1) an open-label dose Phase 1b escalation and (2) a randomized, blinded, vehicle-controlled Phase 2b dose optimization.

Part One: Enrolment in sequential dose cohorts continues. Safety observations from the ongoing study include mild to moderate adverse events, the majority of which are not considered related to EP-104GI. No dose-limiting toxicities or serious adverse events have occurred. There have been no reports of gastrointestinal candidiasis or significant impact on glucose metabolism or adrenal function. Available pharmacokinetic data reveal dose-dependent plasma FP concentrations with near-constant levels achieved after the initial peak and there was no evidence of premature or exaggerated release of FP. Symptom responses assessed by patient questionnaires have generally improved with increasing EP-104GI dose. In the available data, initial symptom improvements at Week 4 have been maintained or enhanced by Week 24 and have remained below baseline values for up to 36 weeks. Histological assessments at Week 12 demonstrate progressive improvements with increasing EP-104GI dose. The Week 36 data available indicate these histological responses can be maintained. We anticipate ongoing data readouts from subsequent dose-escalation cohorts throughout 2025, and ongoing enrolment in the dose optimization portion.

Part Two: The RESOLVE clinical study was amended to add a randomized, blinded, vehicle-controlled, dose optimization portion that will enroll approximately 60 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis and active EoE symptoms. In this part of the study, an initial 30 patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive EP-104GI 120mg total dose or matching vehicle control. Subsequently, 30 additional patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive Dose B or a matching vehicle control. Dose B will be determined based on data from the ongoing dose escalation phase. The first patient was dosed in the randomized dose optimization portion of the study on July 7, 2025. Outcomes for safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy are being collected at multiple timepoints for up to 52 weeks post-dose.

Subsequent steps in the research program will be determined following analysis of results as well as interaction with key opinion leaders and regulatory authorities. Pre-IND feedback from the US FDA received on December 3, 2024 provided clarity on IND-enabling early program requirements. We agreed on the design of an IND-enabling non-clinical study and have initiated this study. To seek marketing approval for EP-104GI, we expect to carry out at least one Phase 3 study assessing both efficacy (reduced histological signs and improved symptoms) and safety of EP-104GI in this indication. The development program is subject to further discussions with FDA.

EP-104IAR for Osteoarthritis

OA is a chronic progressive disease characterized by deterioration of joint cartilage and inflammation, which results in pain and stiffness, usually in the morning or after a period of inactivity; and loss of joint function which limits daily activities. In normal joints, cartilage acts as a cushion between bones and provides a smooth gliding surface for movement. In OA, the inflammatory processes integral to disease progression damages the cartilage, and over time cartilage wears away, causing bone to rub directly against bone resulting in joint damage, severe pain and disability.

Globally, OA is a leading cause of disability in older adults. Estimates of prevalence and incidence vary according to the definition of OA used (i.e., radiographic (X-Ray) versus symptomatic) and the joints assessed. The global prevalence of knee OA is estimated at approximately 23% in adults over the age of 40. According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, OA is estimated to affect more than 32.5 million adults in the United States alone. A 2018 report estimated there were 14 million people with symptomatic knee OA. OA is also often associated with depression and loss of sleep which can greatly affect quality of life.

Current evidence-based OA treatment guidelines aim to manage signs and symptoms, with the goal of slowing progression, if possible. Recommended pharmacological interventions include topical and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and IA corticosteroids. IA corticosteroid injections have been used for decades to manage pain and stiffness associated with inflammation in knee OA and have been approved by regulatory authorities as safe and effective. However, IA corticosteroid injections often result in suboptimal patient outcomes because of their short duration of activity and systemic adverse events such as flushing, glucose alterations and cortisol suppression due to the high peak exposures required to maintain efficacious concentrations for prolonged durations. Evidence is also emerging regarding the risk of adverse joint findings and/or OA progression following frequent/repeated immediate release IA corticosteroid injections.

Development of EP-104IAR

Non-clinical Studies

We have completed multiple non-clinical investigations with EP-104IAR, including a large IND-enabling non-clinical study in dogs. Non-clinical data have indicated that after a single high-dose IA injection of EP-104IAR to the knees of dogs, FP was released locally for over ten months with moderate exposure in the plasma. There was no evidence of cartilage damage in dogs over the ten-month follow-up period at any of the administered doses. In this study, a low dose of EP-104IAR released FP locally for longer than eight months with minimal systemic exposure. This dose was used to justify the dose selection in our Phase 2 clinical trial. Both U.S. and European competent authorities have reviewed our non-clinical safety data and deemed this information suitable to support clinical research studies.

Several non-clinical studies are underway to support the Phase 3 and registration program. These activities include safety and biocompatibility evaluations of EP-104IAR excipients as well as non-clinical studies to provide information needed to support the continued clinical investigation of EP-104IAR product candidates in humans.

Clinical Studies

EP-104IAR has been evaluated in two clinical studies in OA patients. The first clinical study was a Phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study (protocol EP-104-101) to assess safety, PK and preliminary efficacy in 32 knee OA patients at three sites in Canada. The single 15 mg dose was generally well tolerated and showed predictable PK. The study was not powered to detect efficacy; however, patient-reported outcome measures were collected and analyzed to evaluate pain and symptom relief. Despite the limitations of this study (small size, low dose, significant underdosing in nine subjects, and high placebo response), we believe it provides promising tolerability and PK data and preliminary clinical activity data to support future development of EP-104IAR. Results of the study have been published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open.

The second clinical study was SPRINGBOARD – a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study (protocol EP-104IAR-201) that assessed the efficacy, safety and PK of a single 25 mg dose of EP-104IAR in 318 patients with moderate knee OA. The trial was conducted at 12 sites in Denmark, Poland and Czech Republic, with the last patient visit announced on May 25, 2023. Top-line data readout was announced on June 26, 2023. Results of the study have been published in The Lancet Rheumatology.

EP-104IAR-201 met its primary endpoint with a clinically meaningful and statistically significant (p=0.004) improvement over vehicle-placebo in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (“WOMAC”) Pain at 12 weeks in the Intent to Treat population.

EP-104IAR-201 also showed statistically significant improvement over placebo at 12 weeks in three key secondary endpoints: WOMAC Function (p=0.014), OMERACT-OARSI strict responders (p=0.011) and Area Under the Curve (“AUC”) for WOMAC Pain (p<0.001). Importantly, statistical significance with OMERACT-OARSI strict responders to 15 weeks and AUC for WOMAC Pain to 24 weeks was also seen in the Phase 2b study, highlighting a strong and durable response. The secondary endpoint of the difference in change from baseline in the WOMAC Pain subscale at 24 weeks was not met, delivering statistical significance to 14 weeks.

We also performed pre-specified analyses in the moderate sub-population, which comprised 68% of the study population (n=214). Statistically significant efficacy outcomes were seen for WOMAC Pain (17 weeks) and OMERACT-OARSI strict responders (22 weeks). Additionally, 40% of moderate patients achieved near complete pain relief (WOMAC Pain score of ≤2) which was statistically significant for 22 weeks.

EP-104IAR was well tolerated, with adverse events similar to placebo, and no withdrawals due to adverse events. Changes in cortisol were minimal and transient and there were no differences in blood glucose levels between treatment groups, including diabetics. We believe these safety data and the observed PK profile support our goal of developing a product that can be used for repeat and bilateral dosing, and in certain at-risk populations.

End-of-Phase-2 Meeting with FDA for EP-104IAR

In January 2024, we engaged with the FDA in an End-of-Phase-2 meeting to discuss results from the SPRINGBOARD study and to discuss planned clinical and non-clinical activities to support a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for EP-104IAR. Based on these interactions, we believe that the following clinical trials will be required in support of a future NDA submission for EP-104IAR:

•

PROMENADE – A Phase 3 trial in approximately 740 knee OA patients to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EP-104IAR. We anticipate that patients will be followed for a maximum of six to nine months after injection.

•

A Phase 1 study carried out in approximately 30 patients comparing the pharmacokinetics of EP-104IAR and Flovent® HFA (required to satisfy PK requirements for a US 505(b)(2) application).

In addition to the anticipated clinical trials described above, we anticipate that we or a potential partner would need to conduct additional non-clinical work to support repeat dosing of EP-104IAR and the characterization of PVA in-line with the FDA’s feedback.

We anticipate that we or a potential partner would submit the NDA for EP-104IAR under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA to obtain FDA approval, which is required before marketing a new drug in the United States. A 505(b)(2) NDA would rely in part on non-clinical studies and clinical trials conducted by us or a potential partner, and in part on the FDA’s prior findings of safety and efficacy for the active ingredient for which we do not have a right of reference or which have been established in the scientific literature in the public domain. We intend to, either alone or with a partner, pursue marketing approval and commercialization of EP-104 in the U.S. and additional ex-U.S. geographies along with the potential partner.

Lifecycle Opportunities for EP-104 Products

Corticosteroids are broadly used for various indications that may benefit from a targeted delivery and extended-release profile with minimal adverse events. Natural lifecycle extensions for EP-104 products could include other joints affected by OA, other inflammatory arthropathies, or other inflammatory conditions.

Eupraxia Business Strategy

Our focus over the 24 months following the date of this MD&A will be the execution of the EP-104 development programs, including:

EP-104GI Program:

•

Complete the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1b RESOLVE clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EP-104GI in the treatment of EoE;

•

Complete the RESOLVE Phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled trial to further assess the two optimal dose(s).

•

Initiate and complete non-clinical work to support filing an IND in the US.

•

Optimize and manufacture material to support EP-104GI clinical trials, including development of a new vehicle better suited to the location and mode of injection;

•

Initiate a Phase 3 program to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EP-104GI in EoE, subject to discussions with the FDA.

EP-104IAR Program:

•

Complete non-clinical studies to support NDA filing that would enhance the EP-104IAR label and evaluate the safety and biocompatibility of all excipients;

•

Engage with the FDA to achieve agreement on the commercial manufacturing program;

•

Progress the EP-104IAR clinical program into Phase 3, in conjunction with additional funding opportunities (including a potential collaboration partner).

EP-104 Platform:

•

Continue to strengthen the IP portfolio around the EP-104 technology;

•

Continue to evaluate portfolio options for EP-104 and the Diffusphere™ technology platform; and

•

Continue to develop the manufacturing process to support all programs.

Where appropriate, we may use strategic collaborations or partnerships to accelerate development and maximize the commercial potential of our development programs. In parallel, we intend to seek out-licencing, co-development or marketing partners for our technology, with the potential to expand and exploit its application fully. It is our intention to put in place conditions and resources, including the potential use of licensing partnerships, that support the success of the development program, marketing authorization(s) and commercialization across multiple jurisdictions, as well as exploitation of any opportunities for lifecycle and patent extension. Depending on market conditions, this may take the form of co-development or commercialization partnerships, transactional opportunities and/or public financing options.

Pipeline programs are another area of potential growth in the next 24 months. Our technology is potentially compatible with various drugs and therapeutic indications. The pipeline strategy focuses on modulating the release of existing drugs to achieve better clinical outcomes in areas of high medical need. The technology has the potential to be particularly suitable for diseases requiring precisely targeted and controlled localized therapy where broader tissue or systemic exposure should be avoided (e.g., tumour oncology). We have previously investigated indications involving post-surgical pain (EP-105) and post-surgical site infections (EP-201). While both programs demonstrated preclinical evidence of supporting our technology, these programs are currently paused so we can remain focused on the programs described previously in this MD&A.

We currently have several pipeline candidates in development with a goal to add a pipeline product candidate over the next 24 months to allow for sustained corporate growth. We expect this to involve a multidisciplinary review of candidate drugs, formulation development, in vitro screening to identify the most promising lead candidates and non-clinical proof-of-concept studies. The information generated from these inquiries will determine whether we should proceed with further development.

Significant Company Events

On May 5, 2025, the Company announced sustained positive treatment outcomes for patients with EoE after nine months of receiving EP-104GI. After nine months of receiving EP-104GI, EP-104GI continued to be released into the esophagus in patients at a rate similar to what was seen in 3- and 6- month results.

On May 9, 2025, the Company hosted a virtual key opinion leader (“KOL”) event to discuss the Phase 1b/2a RESOLVE study of EP-104GI for treatment of EoE with Dr. Evan Dellon.

On July 8, 2025, the Company announced dosing of the first patient in a Phase 2b placebo-controlled portion of the EP-104GI RESOLVE Trial in EoE.

General and Administrative

Comparing the three months ended June 30, 2025, to the same period in 2024, general and administrative activities increased by $484,358. This increase is primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, as well as an increase in office costs and travel. This is partially offset by reduction in decrease in share based payments.

Comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025, to the same period in 2024, general and administrative activities increased by $1,240,729. This increase is primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, as well as an increase in share-based payments and office costs. The Company also incurred additional insurance costs as a result of being listed on Nasdaq in early 2024. This is partially offset by reduction in professional fees related to audit and accounting fees in addition to a decrease in business development activities.

Research and Development

Comparing the three months ended June 30, 2025, to the same period in 2024, research and development activities increased by $1,224,640. This increase is primarily due to an increase in activity with the EP-104GI program, increases in salaries and benefits due to increased headcount and salary increases as well as an increase in other research and development costs. This is offset by a decrease in costs related to direct research programs given the reduced activity with the EP-104IAR program.

Comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025, to the same period in 2024, research and development activities increased by $899,013. This in is primarily due to an increase in activity with the EP-104GI program, increases in salaries and benefits due to increased headcount and salary increases as well as increased share-based payments. This is partially offset by a decrease in costs related with the EP-104IAR program due to reduced activity.

Other Income/(Expenses)

Comparing the three months ended June 30, 2025, to the same period in 2024, other income decreased by $964,210. This decrease is primarily due to the positive changes in fair value of financial instruments of approximately $430,499 in the 2024 period and the decrease $281,845 in interest expense on the convertible debt facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) as the facility matured before the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This is offset by a decrease in interest income of $145,268 as a result of a lower cash balance during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as well as an increase in foreign exchange losses of $658,920 due to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar.

Comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025, to the same period in 2024, other income changed by $1,146,014 to other expense. This change is primarily due to the positive changes in fair value of financial instruments of approximately $1,200,541 in the 2024 period and the decrease of $602,985 in interest expense on the convertible debt facility with SVB as the facility matured before the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This is offset by a decrease in interest income of $72,185 as a result of a lower cash balance during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as well as an increase in foreign exchange losses of $463,830 due to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar.

Summary of Quarterly Results

The information in the tables below has been derived from both the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements interim. Effective December 31, 2023, the Company transitioned to U.S. GAAP and changed its reporting currency to the U.S. dollar (“USD”) from the Canadian dollar (“CDN”). As such, all prior amounts originally reported in CDN are now reported in USD. The change in reporting currency was made to enhance comparability of the Company’s results with other publicly traded companies in the life sciences industry. The Canadian dollar continues to be the functional currency of the Company. In addition, all comparative figures from quarters in 2023 have been retrospectively restated for the adoption of U.S. GAAP effective December 31, 2023.

The Company’s quarterly operating results have varied substantially in the past and may vary substantially in the future. Accordingly, the information below is not necessarily indicative of results for any future quarter.

The Company has incurred net losses in each of its preceding eight quarters as a result of continued activities associated with the Phase 2 clinical trial for EP-104IAR and the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of EP-104GI. This trend is expected to continue into the future as we make further investments in our EP-104 programs. Research and development expenses are expected to remain high as we undertake clinical trials and incur significant costs for CROs and consultants, and further investment in additional drug candidates in support of broader pipeline development. General and administrative expenses are likely to remain high in the future as a result of ongoing costs associated with public company compliance.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outlook, Management of Cash Resources

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $19,765,644 (December 31, 2024 - $33,101,294).

The Company’s business does not currently generate revenue or positive cash flows from operations and is reliant on equity and debt financing to provide the necessary cash to continue its research and development activities and ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in the future with terms that are satisfactory to the Company.

The Company’s cash flow forecasts are continually updated to reflect actual cash inflows and outflows so to monitor the requirements and timing for additional financial resources. Given the volatility of the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, and Australian dollar (“AUD”) exchange rate, the Company estimates its USD and AUD expenses for the year and sets aside appropriate levels of USD and AUD cash. By holding USD and AUD, the Company remains subject to currency fluctuations which effect its loss during any given year.

Based on current cash on hand and assuming the full exercise of the EPRX.WT.A warrants prior to their April 20, 2026 expiry, the Company anticipates sufficient liquidity to fund operations into the third quarter of 2026. While the Company expects that the EPRX.WT.A warrants will be exercised, the Company acknowledges this is subject to market conditions. The Company is also evaluating additional measures to preserve and extend its liquidity availability, including a warrant backstop arrangement with existing shareholders, leveraging upfront proceeds from potential business development transactions, or securing additional equity or debt financing. The Company will continue to monitor its liquidity position closely and act as needed to protect shareholder value and minimize dilution.

The Company expects that its growth plans will require further capital. To meet these needs, the Company may pursue similar funding sources, with a focus on maintaining shareholder value and minimizing dilution.

Comparison of Cash Flow for the Six Months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.


	Six months ended June 30, 2025 $			Six months ended June 30, 2024 $
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities		(14,318,325	)		(13,832,552	)
Investing activities		(335,269	)		10,873
Financing activities		669,701			18,654,405

Net increase (decrease) in cash		(13,983,893	)		4,832,726
Foreign exchange effect on cash		648,243			(858,377	)

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $485,773 compared to the same period in the prior year. The primary driver was the increase in expenditure on the EP-104GI clinical trials, increased manufacturing and analytical activities, payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and increased salary costs partially offset by decreased EP-104IAR activities. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid a milestone payment to Auritec Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Auritec”) of $5,000,000.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $346,142 compared to cash provided by investing activities for the same period in the prior year. The primary driver of the increase was the purchase of lab equipment offset by the sale of equipment in 2024.

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $17,984,704 compared to the same period in the prior year. The primary driver of the decrease was the closing of the Company’s overnight marketed public offering of Common Shares for proceeds of $22,853,391 (net of transaction costs) that occurred March 15, 2024 which was offset by the repayment of the convertible debt of $4,494,795.

Going Concern

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $19,765,644. The Company has not yet generated revenue from operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $15,514,958 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $146,507,355. As the Company is in the research and development stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary funding to complete the research and development of its projects and upon future commercialization or proceeds from the monetization of research activities.

The Company will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and recently raised $31,705,219 through a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 8,905,638 Series 1 Preferred Shares in the capital of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”) on October 31, 2024. Although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future, especially with the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty affecting the global capital markets. The Company is active in its pursuit of additional funding through potential partnering and other strategic activities as well as grants to fund future research and development activities, and additional equity financing.

The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional funding. There is a risk that in the future, additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These events and conditions may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

Long-Term Obligations and Other Contractual Commitments

The Company may be required to make milestone, royalty, and other research and development funding payments under research and development collaboration and other agreements with third parties. These payments are contingent upon the achievement of specific development, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. The Company has not accrued for these payments as of June 30, 2025 due to the uncertainty over whether these milestones will be achieved. The Company’s significant contingent milestone, royalty and other research and development commitments are as follows:

Auritec License Agreement

Auritec is a privately held clinical-stage drug delivery company that holds patents in the field of extended-release delivery of drug products utilizing its proprietary drug delivery platform, the “Plexis Platform”.

Lease Agreements

On October 21, 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its head office located at Suite 201 – 2067 Cadboro Bay Road, Victoria BC. The lease was for a period of 5 years, expiring November 30, 2024. The Company signed an extension agreement on May 13, 2024 to extend the term of the lease by 12 months, expiring November 30, 2025. On July 15, 2025, the Company signed a Second Lease Renewal Agreement (“Renewal Agreement”) whereby the Company renewed its lease for its Victoria, BC facility for additional twelve months commencing December 1, 2025 and ending November 30, 2026. In addition, the Renewal Agreement allows the Company to renew its lease for additional twelve months commencing December 1, 2026 and ending November 30, 2027. All other terms of the lease remain unchanged. The base rent for the next 12 months is anticipated to be $85,705 (CDN$116,928).

The lease is for a period of 11 months, expiring on February 28, 2026. The total rent for the remaining term of the lease (inclusive of base rent and additional rent costs) is anticipated to be $140,214 (CDN$191,293).

Terminated Convertible Debt Facilities

Silicon Valley Bank

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a contingent convertible debt agreement (the “SVB Agreement”) with SVB and concurrently drew down, in full, the CDN$10,000,000 principal amount under the SVB Agreement.

The Debt Agreement had a term of 36 months (or 48 months at SVB’s election) and accrued interest at the greater of 2.45% and the Canadian prime rate, requiring monthly interest payments. An additional payment in kind accrued interest at a rate of 7% per annum, which was partially settled at maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Canadian prime rate ranged from 5.45% - 7.20%. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Canadian prime rate ranged from 6.45% - 7.20%.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the SVB Agreement, SVB had the option to elect to convert the principal amount of the convertible debt and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to CDN$5.68 per Common Share. The conversion price of the accrued and unpaid interest would be subject to the minimum pricing requirements of the TSX, to the extent applicable, at the time of conversion.

The Company granted SVB a security interest in all of its assets, excluding its patents and other intellectual property, and the testing and product equipment by way of the loan agreement it entered into on September 10, 2021 as security for its obligations under the SVB Agreement.

On June 21, 2024, the loan under the SVB Agreement matured and a portion of the balance of $4,494,795 (CDN$6,161,016) was paid to SVB representing principal and interest. On September 11, 2024, the remaining balance of $4,580,018 (CDN$6,204,092) was paid to SVB representing the remaining principal and interest. This payment extinguished the liability the Company had with SVB.

Yabema Capital

On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a $8,659,200 (CDN$12,000,000) convertible debt facility (the “Convertible Debt Facility”) with Yabema Capital Limited and other Eupraxia shareholders (the “Lenders”). Under the Convertible Debt Facility, the Lenders agreed to make available for drawdown an aggregate amount of CDN$12,000,000 for a period of 120 days following entry into the Convertible Debt Facility. The Convertible Debt Facility was to mature 24 months from August 1, 2024 (the closing date) and could be extended for an additional 12 months at the Lenders’ option. The decision to draw on the facility within 120 days of closing was at the discretion of the Company and was subject to the full and final release of the Debt Agreement. Commitment fees of $355,582 (CDN$480,000) were incurred by the Company in connection with the entry into the Convertible Debt Facility.

The aggregate unpaid principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon were to be convertible at the discretion of the Lenders into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to CDN$4.84375 per Common Share.

The Company granted the Lenders a security interest in all of its assets, excluding its patents and other intellectual property.

As a result of the closing of the Private Placement, on October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Termination and Release Agreement with the Lenders to terminate the Convertible Debt Facility and discharge all security interests.

Transactions with Related Parties

There were no transactions with related parties during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, reportable under U.S. GAAP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no material undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting year, which, by their nature, are uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

•

Share-based payments are measured at fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period. In determining the fair value, the Company makes estimates of the expected volatility of the shares, the expected life of the share-based instrument, and an estimated risk-free interest rate.

Critical accounting judgments

Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. The Company’s management made the following critical accounting judgments:

The determination of the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries; and

ii)

Assessment of the appropriateness of the going concern assertion and events and conditions that indicate a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt thereon.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirement. The Company adopted this ASU in 2025 and will apply this standard to tax note disclosures presented in the consolidated financial statements on an annual basis.

Upcoming Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and payable to Auritec.

There were no changes to the Company’s risk exposures or management of risks during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Liquidity risk

There is no assurance, however, that any or all of these alternatives will materialize or that additional funding will be available, if and when needed.


Contractual Obligations at June 30, 2025	Total		Less than 1 year		1 to 3 Years
Accounts Payable	$	2,583,316	$	2,583,316	$	—
Leases		363,553		298,084		65,469

Total Contractual Obligations	$	2,946,869	$	2,881,400	$	65,469

Market risk

Interest rate risk

Currency risk

At June 30, 2025, the Company held cash of $11,037,175 (2024 – $3,740,799) and had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $825,959 (2024 – $376,541) denominated in US dollars which were translated to Canadian dollars at 1.3643 (2024 – 1.4389). The impact of a 10% change in the exchange rates would have an impact of approximately $1,021,122 (2024 – $336,426) on profit or loss. The Company held cash of $508,184 (2024 – $149,736), accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $302,995 (2024 – $120,361) and had $nil in accounts receivable (2024 – $258,074) denominated in Australian Dollars which were translated into Canadian Dollars at 0.8949 (2024 – 0.8915). The impact of a 10% change in the exchange rate would have an impact of approximately $13,459 (2024 – $17,810) on profit or loss. The Company also has accounts payable in Great British pounds, Euros, and New Zealand dollars. The impact of a 10% change in the exchanges of these currencies would have an immaterial effect on future cash flows.

Other price risk

Fair Value Measurement

The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observation of inputs used in the measurement.

Level 1: Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Fair value is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Fair value is based on valuation techniques that require one or more significant unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes information regarding the classification and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost:


Financial assets/liabilities	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cash	$	19,765,644	$	33,101,294
Amounts receivable	$	134,607	$	228,872
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	2,583,316	$	3,031,527

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have designed or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures which provide reasonable assurance that material information regarding the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, in a timely manner.

In addition, the CEO and CFO have designed or caused to be designed under their supervision internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements. The control framework used to design the Company’s ICFR uses the framework and criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met. Due to inherent limitations in all such systems, no evaluations of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures and our ICFR are designed to be effective in providing reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our control systems have been met.

The CEO and the CFO have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, whether or not there were changes to its ICFR during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s ICFR. As previously stated, the Company implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to improve its management of key processes. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company continued to evaluate the impact of the implementation of the ERP on its ICFR and revised certain controls to align with the new system. The Company concluded as part of its evaluation that the implementation of the ERP system did not materially affect the Company’s ICFR during the three months ended June 30, 2025. There were no other changes to our ICFR that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR. The Company’s CEO and CFO will certify Eupraxia’s interim filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

•

Announced first patient dosed in the Phase 2b placebo-controlled portion of the EP-104GI RESOLVE trial with topline data expected in H2 2026

•

Announced positive data from Phase 1b/2a RESOLVE supporting the potential of EP-104GI to improve the standard of care for patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (“EoE”)

•

Additional data from cohorts 5–8 from Phase 1b/2a available in October 2025

Victoria, British Columbia, August 12, 2025 – Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Eupraxia” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:EPRX) (TSX:EPRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary Diffusphere™ technology designed to optimize local, controlled drug delivery for applications with significant unmet need, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and provided a business update. All dollar values are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

“The expansion into the placebo-controlled, Phase 2b portion of the RESOLVE trial represents a key clinical milestone for Eupraxia, as we seek to advance EP-104GI for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis,” said Dr. James A. Helliwell, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Eupraxia. “Recent data updates support the potential of EP-104GI as a durable treatment option. In the most recent data update, all three patients demonstrated a sustained or improved treatment outcome after nine months of therapy. We look forward to announcing more results from the Phase 1b/2a portion of the RESOLVE trial in October.

As we continue to survey the treatment landscape for EoE, we are increasingly confident in the potential of EP-104GI to fundamentally transform the therapeutic management of EoE. We are off to a strong start with respect to enrollment in the Phase 2b study and we look are looking forward to reporting topline results in the second half of 2026.”

Recent Operational and Financial Highlights

•

On July 8, 2025, the Company announced dosing of the first patient in the Phase 2b placebo-controlled portion of EP-104GI RESOLVE trial in EoE. The Company plans to enroll a minimum of 60 patients in the Phase 2b portion of the trial in up to 25 sites globally, assessing tissue health measured by biopsy (EoEHSS and PEC scores), symptom scores (SDI and DSQ), and safety, over a twelve-month period. Topline data from the Phase 2b portion of the RESOLVE study is expected to be available in H2 2026.

•

On May 9, 2025, the Company hosted a virtual key opinion leader (“KOL”) event to discuss the Phase 1b/2a RESOLVE study of EP-104GI for treatment of EoE with Dr. Evan Dellon. To access a replay of the webcast, please click here.

•

On May 5, 2025, the Company announced positive nine-month data from the open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1b/2a RESOLVE trial, which demonstrated sustained positive treatment outcomes in patients with EoE after nine months of receiving EP-104GI, with no serious adverse events reported.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Review

The Company incurred a net loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, versus a net loss of $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily due to an increase in research and development costs, an increase in general and administrative costs, and an increase in other expenses.

The Company had cash of $19.8 million as of June 30, 2025, down from $33.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. These funds are being used to fund clinical trials in EP-104 and the remainder of the funds will be used for general and administrative expenses, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.

The Company anticipates that existing cash reserves, and anticipated proceeds from the future exercise of in-the-money warrants, will be sufficient to fund the Company into the third quarter of 2026.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 35,959,568 common shares issued and 8,905,638 preferred shares outstanding.

Potential Impact of Tariffs

Management continues to monitor the North American trade situation stemming from the February 2025 announcement by the U.S. government of proposed tariffs on selected imported Canadian goods, and the subsequent Canadian announcement of planned retaliatory tariffs on selected imported U.S. goods.

Eupraxia manufactures its clinical supplies of EP-104IAR and EP-104GI in the U.S. by a third party. The Company expects to continue to access manufactured products from the U.S.

The Company maintains U.S. dollar balances to pay U.S. dollar expenses and to minimize the impact of short-term fluctuations in exchange rates.

Management continues to assess the potential direct and indirect impacts of tariffs, counter-tariffs and other trade protection measures on Eupraxia’s business and will take those steps it deems necessary to attempt to mitigate any impact as the situation evolves.

About Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Eupraxia is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of locally delivered, extended-release products that have the potential to address therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need. Diffusphere™, a proprietary, polymer-based micro-sphere technology, is designed to facilitate targeted drug delivery of both existing and novel drugs. The technology is designed to support extended duration of effect and delivery of drugs in a hyper-localized fashion, targeting only the tissues that physicians are wanting to treat. We believe the potential for fewer adverse events may be achieved through the precision targeting and the stable and flat delivery of the active ingredient when using the Diffusphere™ technology, versus the peaks and troughs seen with more traditional drug delivery methods. The precision of Eupraxia’s Diffusphere™ technology platform has the potential to augment and transform existing FDA-approved drugs to improve their safety, tolerability, efficacy and duration of effect. The potential uses in therapeutic areas may go beyond pain and inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, where Eupraxia currently is developing advanced treatments, to also be applicable in oncology, infectious disease and other critical disease areas.

Eupraxia’s EP-104GI is currently in a Phase 1b/2 trial, the RESOLVE trial, for the treatment of EoE. EP-104GI is administered as an injection into the esophageal wall, providing local delivery of drug. This is a unique treatment approach for EoE. Eupraxia also recently completed a Phase 2b clinical trial (SPRINGBOARD) of EP-104IAR for the treatment of pain due to knee osteoarthritis. The trial met its primary endpoint and three of the four secondary endpoints. In addition, Eupraxia is developing a pipeline of later and earlier-stage long-acting formulations. Potential pipeline indications include candidates for other inflammatory joint indications and oncology, each designed to improve on the activity and tolerability of currently approved drugs.

No misrepresentations: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings.

Fair presentation: Based on my knowledge, having exercised reasonable diligence, the interim financial report together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, financial performance and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date of and for the periods presented in the interim filings.

Responsibility: The issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, for the issuer.

5.	Design: Subject to the limitations, if any, described in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3, the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I have, as at the end of the period covered by the interim filings

(a)

designed DC&P, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that

(i)

material information relating to the issuer is made known to us by others, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and

(ii)

information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

(b)

designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP.

5.1	Control framework: The control framework the issuer’s other certifying officer(s) and I used to design the issuer’s ICFR is the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 COSO Framework) published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the treadway Commission.

5.2	ICFR – material weakness relating to design: N/A

5.3	Limitation on scope of design: N/A

6.	Reporting changes in ICFR: The issuer has disclosed in its interim MD&A any change in the issuer’s ICFR that occurred during the period beginning on April 1, 2025 and ended on June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s ICFR.
