Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of Yarrow Bioscience, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and October 3, 2025, the related statements of operations,
changes in convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from October 3, 2025 (inception)
to December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025
and October 3, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 3, 2025 (inception) to
December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from
the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and
that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
Yarrow Bioscience, Inc. (“Yarrow”
or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel biotherapeutics to treat autoimmune
diseases affecting the thyroid. Yarrow’s lead product candidate, YB-101 (also known as GenSci098), is a humanized, monoclonal antibody
targeting the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (“TSHR”), which Yarrow plans to develop for the treatment of Graves’
disease (“GD”) and potentially thyroid eye disease (“TED”). Both GD and TED are serious and poorly treated autoimmune
diseases in which autoantibodies against TSHR attack and overstimulate the receptor, leading to a wide spectrum of thyroidal and extra-thyroidal
clinical sequelae.
YB-101 was designed to selectively bind to TSHR
and block autoantibody-induced receptor activation, thereby directly inhibiting the pathogenic activity of thyroid-stimulating autoantibodies
that drive disease progression in GD and TED as well as the biological pathway responsible for hyperthyroidism and orbitopathy. Yarrow
believes that this novel and targeted approach represents a potential breakthrough for patients with GD and TED and has the potential
to address an important unmet need for therapies with differentiated risk-benefit profiles.
In December 2025, Yarrow in-licensed from
Changchun Genescience Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. (“GenSci”) the exclusive rights to develop YB-101 for the treatment
of GD and TED outside of China. Yarrow’s development strategy is to advance YB-101 in GD and explore a clinical development plan
for TED with the goal of becoming the first company to commercialize an anti-TSHR antibody in the United States and other territories
outside of China. YB-101 is currently being evaluated by GenSci in an ongoing Phase 1 single ascending dose (“SAD”) and multiple
ascending dose (“MAD”) trial in patients with TED in China. Yarrow submitted the GenSci SAD clinical data to the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as part of a new IND to support the initiation of a GD trial by Yarrow in the United States,
which was cleared by the FDA in March 2026. In addition, third-party clinical data from two SAD trials of another anti-TSHR antibody,
K1-70, further support the therapeutic potential of targeting TSHR in patients with GD and TED. Yarrow expects to initiate a combined
Phase 2a/Phase 2b trial of YB-101 in patients with GD in the first half of 2026.
In December 2025 the Company entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with VYNE Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VYNE”), which was
amended on January 30, 2026 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, Yellow Merger
Sub Corp., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE, will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned
subsidiary of VYNE and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”).
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective
Time”), (i) each then-outstanding share of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock
(together the “Company’s Capital Stock”) (including any shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Company’s
Pre-Closing Financing described below), excluding any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock held as treasury stock immediately prior
to the Effective Time and any dissenting shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of VYNE common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (the “VYNE Common Stock”) and/or VYNE Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) equal to the exchange
ratio 35.8667, (ii) each then outstanding option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will be converted into and
become an option to purchase shares of VYNE Common Stock on the existing terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting and accelerated
vesting), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (iii) each then-outstanding and unexercised pre-funded
warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, a “Company Pre-Funded Warrant”) will be converted into
a pre-funded warrant to purchase shares of VYNE Common Stock on the existing terms and conditions (each, a “VYNE Pre-Funded Warrant”),
subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement and the form of pre-funded warrant. If any shares of the Company’s common
stock are unvested or subject to a repurchase option or risk of forfeiture at the Effective Time, then the shares of VYNE Common Stock
issued in exchange for such shares will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture.
Each share of VYNE Common Stock that is issued
and outstanding at the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding and such shares, subject to a proposed reverse stock split, will
be unaffected by the Merger. Prior to the Effective Time, the VYNE board of directors will accelerate the vesting of all options to purchase
shares of VYNE Common Stock (“VYNE Options”) and all restricted stock units (“VYNE RSUs”). Each outstanding
VYNE Option with an exercise price per share equal to or less than the volume weighted average closing trading price of a share of VYNE
Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for the five consecutive trading days ending three trading days prior to the calculation date
set forth in the Merger Agreement, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (the “VYNE Closing Price”), will be cancelled at the Effective
Time and such holder thereof will receive an amount in cash, without interest, less any applicable tax withholding, equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the excess of the VYNE Closing Price over the exercise price per share of the VYNE Common Stock underlying such
VYNE Option by the number of shares of the VYNE Common Stock underlying such VYNE Option. Each VYNE Option with an exercise price greater
than the VYNE Closing Price will be cancelled for no consideration. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each holder of an accelerated
VYNE RSU will be entitled to receive a number of shares of VYNE Common Stock equal to the number of vested and unsettled shares underlying
such VYNE RSU.
F-54
Based on the Company and VYNE’s capitalization
as of December 17, 2025 and taking into account VYNE’s current cash position, each share of the Company’s Capital Stock
is currently estimated to be entitled to receive approximately 35.8667 shares of VYNE Common Stock. This estimated exchange ratio does
not give effect to the proposed VYNE reverse stock split and is subject to adjustment based on VYNE’s estimated net cash calculated
in accordance with the Merger Agreement at the closing of the Merger.
Completed Merger and Exchange Ratio
On July 27, 2026 (the “Closing Date”),
VYNE issued an aggregate of 2,130,731 shares of its common stock to the Company’s stockholders (after giving effect to the 1-for-50
reverse stock split of VYNE common stock in connection with the Merger), based on the exchange ratio of 0.7171 shares of VYNE common stock
for each share of the Company’s common stock, including those shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the conversion
of the Company’s preferred stock and those shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Company Pre-Closing Financing.
In addition, the Company’s outstanding and unexercised pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock
and certain shares of the Company’s common stock (including shares issued upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock
and shares issued in the Company Pre-Closing Financing) were converted into 25,590,346 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of VYNE
common stock on the existing terms and conditions and outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were
converted into 2,002,282 options to purchase shares of VYNE common stock on the existing terms and conditions (including with respect
to vesting and accelerated vesting).
The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse
recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Under this method of accounting, the Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination
is primarily based on the fact that, immediately following the Merger: (i) the Company’s stockholders owned a substantial majority
of the voting rights in the Combined Company; (ii) the Company’s largest stockholder retained the largest interest in the Combined
Company; (iii) the Company designated the initial members of the board of directors of the Combined Company; and (iv) the Company’s
executive management team and certain of VYNE’s current management team became the management team of the Combined Company. Historical
share and per share amounts of the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 0.7171.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred losses since inception
and has an accumulated deficit of $71.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses
until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales from its product candidates currently in development. Management believes
that cash of $100.0 million as of December 31, 2025 ($30.0 million after the payment of the upfront license fee of $70.0 million
(see Note 4)) is sufficient to sustain planned operations through at least twelve months from the issuance date of these financial
statements.
In connection with the execution and delivery
of the Merger Agreement, certain investors entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which such persons have agreed to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock or Company pre-funded warrants for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $100 million
(the “Company Pre-Closing Financing”). However, the completion of the closing of the Company Pre-Closing Financing is subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and there are no assurances that such conditions will be achieved nor that such financing
or other strategic transactions will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
F-55
The Company is subject to those risks associated
with any specialty biotechnology company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that
the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval,
or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change
and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any references in these notes to applicable
guidance are meant to refer to GAAP as found in Accounting Standards Codifications and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”)
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying financial statements include the fair value of the Company’s
common stock and valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding
the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements, actual results may vary from these estimates. Estimates
and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are
determined to be necessary.
Segment Information
The Company operates and manages its business
as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s chief executive officer,
who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews the Company’s financial information for purposes of evaluating
financial performance and allocating resources.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management believes that the carrying amounts
of financial instruments, which include accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of
those instruments.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, which is held in checking account deposits in federally
insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and
believes it is not exposed to significant risk on its cash.
Deferred Transaction Costs
Specific incremental legal, accounting and other
fees and costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities may properly be deferred and charged against the gross
proceeds of such an offering. In the event the Company’s planned Merger does not occur or is significantly delayed, all of the costs
will be expensed. As of December 31, 2025, there were $0.4 million of transaction costs, primarily consisting of legal fees,
that were capitalized in assets on the balance sheet.
F-56
Classification of Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company has classified the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) outside of stockholders’ deficit on the Company’s balance
sheet because the holders of such stock have certain liquidation rights in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event that, in certain situations,
is not solely within the control of the Company and would require the redemption of the then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable,
except in the event of deemed liquidation (see Note 5). Because the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event is not currently probable,
the carrying values of the Convertible Preferred Stock are not being accreted to their redemption values. Subsequent adjustments to the
carrying values of the Convertible Preferred Stock would be made only when a Deemed Liquidation Event becomes probable.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred and principally consist of personnel costs as well as amounts paid to third parties for the provision of services for product
candidate discovery and development and related supply costs. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with
agreements with third parties to license their technologies are generally expensed as incurred as acquired in-process research and development,
up to the point of regulatory approval.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company measures stock-based awards, including
stock options, at their grant-date fair value and records compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting
period of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Estimating the fair value of stock options requires
the use of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected term of the option and expected
stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used
in calculating the fair value of stock options represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the
application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation
expense could be materially different for future awards.
The fair value of the Company’s common stock
is estimated by the Company’s board of directors, with input from management considering the most recently available third-party
valuation of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of stock options for employees is estimated using the “simplified
method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and
post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants. The simplified method is the midpoint between the vesting date
and the contractual term of the option. The contractual term is used as the expected term for stock options granted to non-employees.
For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for the expected volatility to calculate the fair
value of option grants. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve commensurate with the expected term of the option.
The expected dividend yield is zero given the Company does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
On December 17, 2025, the Company adopted
the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Awards may be made under the Plan covering up to 1,951,541 shares of common stock
of the Company.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share
of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible preferred stock,
which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number
of shares of common stock is the same as for basic net loss per share since when a net loss exists, potentially dilutive securities are
not included in the calculation as their impact is anti-dilutive. The Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder
to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company, and, if the Company were to recognize net income, it would have to use the two-class
method to calculate earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock have no obligation to fund losses.
F-57
As of December 31, 2025, 14,516,188 of Convertible
Preferred Stock, on an as converted basis, have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock
outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset
and liability method. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting
basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss carryforwards. The
impact of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, applied during the period in which temporary differences are expected
to be settled, is reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the period of enactment. The measurement of deferred tax assets
is reduced, if necessary, based on weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary for all of its
deferred tax assets. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense. The Company has no accruals for interest or penalties in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025,
and has not recognized interest or penalties in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which is intended to enhance
the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Public business entities are required to adopt this standard for annual
fiscal periods beginning after December 31, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard as of December 31,
2025.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income
Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This standard requires additional expense breakdowns in the
footnotes for items such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Public companies
must also provide a qualitative description of remaining expense amounts not separately disclosed, as well as the definition and total
amount of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2026, and for
interim periods within the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments are to be applied either
prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update, or retrospectively to all prior
periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on
its financial statements and related disclosures.
There were no other new accounting pronouncements
that were issued or became effective during the year ended December 31, 2025 that had, or are expected to have, a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

4. Commitments and Contingencies
GenSci Agreement
On December 15, 2025, GenSci and Yarrow entered
into an exclusive license agreement (the “GenSci License Agreement”), pursuant to which Yarrow obtained from GenSci an exclusive,
royalty-bearing license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize YB-101 (also known as GS-098), an antibody targeting the TSHR, outside
Greater China for all fields of use, including the treatment of GD and TED. GenSci retained rights to exploit these assets in Greater
China. Under the GenSci License Agreement, and subject to limited exceptions in which GenSci will perform certain development activities
outside Greater China, Yarrow is responsible for all development and commercialization activities for YB-101 outside Greater China. GenSci
is obligated to provide Yarrow with clinical data relating to YB-101 that exists as of the effective date in connection with the initial
know-how transfer. Additionally, each party is obligated to provide the other party with certain clinical data generated by that party
during the development of YB-101 as part of the ongoing know-how transfer.
More specifically, clinical data generated by
GenSci will be shared with Yarrow for inclusion in global safety reports and regulatory submissions by Yarrow to global health authorities
including the FDA. Yarrow will become the manager of the YB-101 global safety database; as a result, data sharing between Yarrow and GenSci
will continue during the term of the GenSci License Agreement. Yarrow does not currently anticipate outsourcing preclinical or clinical
research to GenSci, but could consider doing so in the future. Manufacturing data generated by GenSci related to the manufacturing and
testing of YB-101 will be shared with Yarrow on an ongoing basis to support global regulatory filings related to manufacturing.
Subject to customary exceptions, during the term
of the GenSci License Agreement, neither Yarrow (with respect to activities outside Greater China) nor GenSci (with respect to activities
in Greater China), nor their respective affiliates, may directly or indirectly clinically develop or commercialize specified categories
of antibodies directed to TSHR.
Upon execution of the GenSci License Agreement,
the Company was required to pay GenSci a non-refundable upfront cash payment of $70 million. The upfront payment was recorded as
acquired in-process research and development in the Company’s statement of operations since further development and regulatory approval
of the licensed product candidates is necessary and there is no alternative use that the Company could benefit from.
GenSci is also eligible to receive up to approximately
$1.295 billion in additional contingent payments based on GenSci’s completion of the manufacturing technology transfer, GenSci’s
achievement of a development milestone, as well as Yarrow’s achievement of development, regulatory approval, and commercial sales-based
milestones. Specifically, GenSci is eligible to receive up to approximately $100 million in contingent payments based on the achievement
of specified clinical development milestones by Yarrow or GenSci, as applicable, and up to $150 million in contingent payments based
on Yarrow’s achievement of specified regulatory approval milestones. In addition, GenSci is eligible to receive tiered royalties
ranging from the low teens to the low-mid teens on annual net product sales outside Greater China during the applicable royalty term.
The royalty term for a licensed product in a given country commences upon the first commercial sale of the licensed product in that country
and continues until the latest of: (a) the expiration of the last royalty-bearing valid claim of the licensed patents covering the
licensed product in that country; (b) the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the licensed product in that country;
and (c) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity for the licensed product in that country. The expected expiry of the last-to-expire
royalty payment obligation is January 20, 2046.
The GenSci License Agreement will remain in effect
until the expiration of all royalty terms. Either party may terminate the GenSci License Agreement for an uncured material breach or insolvency
of the other party. GenSci may terminate the GenSci License Agreement in the event of a specified patent challenge by Yarrow or its affiliates
or if Yarrow ceases all development activities outside Greater China for a substantial period of time prior to achieving a specified regulatory
approval milestone. Following a specified near-term triggering event, Yarrow may terminate the GenSci License Agreement for convenience
upon providing the required notice.
Purchase Commitments
The Company enters into contracts in the normal
course of business with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, universities, and other third parties for
preclinical research studies, clinical trials and testing and manufacturing services. These contracts generally do not contain minimum
purchase commitments and are cancellable by the Company upon prior written notice although, purchase orders for clinical materials are
generally non-cancellable. Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including
non-cancellable obligations of the Company’s service providers, up to the date of cancellation or upon completion of a manufacturing
run.
F-59
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from
claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.
5. Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock
Convertible Preferred Stock
In December 2025, the Company sold 14,516,188
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at an original issuance price of $6.89 per share.
The following is a summary of the rights, preferences, and
terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock:
Dividends
The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive dividends payable when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, with the holders of common
stock, paid out of any assets or on the common stock of the Company, on an as-converted to common stock basis. The Company may not declare
or pay dividends on common stock or other junior securities unless the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock receive, on a pro rata,
as-converted basis, dividends at least equal to those payable on the common stock. No dividends on common stock were declared or paid
from inception through December 31, 2025.
Voting
The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to vote on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company. Each holder of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock are convertible. For as long as at least 3,629,048 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two directors. The holders of common stock and Convertible Preferred Stock, together as a single
class, are entitled to elect the balance of the total directors of the corporation and on an as-converted basis. As of December 31,
2025, the Company had three directors and two vacancies.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, including a Deemed Liquidation Event (as described below), the holders of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of
common stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the original issue price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid, or (ii) such
amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into common stock immediately
prior to liquidation, dissolution or winding up. As of December 31, 2025, the liquidation amount is $6.89 per share for Convertible
Preferred Stock.
A Deemed Liquidation Event shall include a merger
or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party (other than one in which the current stockholders of the Company own a majority
of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the surviving company) or the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.
Conversion
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
into a number of shares of common stock equal to the original issue price divided by the conversion price, subject to adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar recapitalizations, as well as certain anti-dilution adjustments in the event of issuances
of equity securities at a price below the then-effective conversion price, as set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation. The Conversion Price is $6.89 per share for Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, as of December 31, 2025,
each outstanding share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock automatically
converts to common stock upon (1) an initial public offering resulting in a pre-money valuation of the Company of at least $125 million
and at least $50 million in gross proceeds to the Company; or (2) upon a closing of a business combination between the Company
and a public company pursuant to the public company acquiring 100% of the Company’s outstanding equity (including a reverse merger).
F-60
Redemption
The Convertible Preferred Stock does not have
redemption rights, except for the contingent redemption upon the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event.
Common Stock
The holders of the common stock are entitled to
one vote for each share of common stock held at all meetings of stockholders. Unless required by law, there shall be no cumulative voting.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after the payment of all preferential
amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the remaining funds and assets available for distribution
to the stockholders of the Company will be distributed among the holders of shares of common stock, pro rata based on the number
of shares of common stock held by each such holder.
6. Related-Party Transactions
In December 2025, the Company’s sole
common stockholder participated in the Convertible Preferred Stock financing for $25 million. Additionally, the Company owes the
investor $0.6 million for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Company’s financing.
7. Income Taxes
The Company has incurred losses, all in domestic
jurisdictions, since inception and has not recorded current or deferred income taxes.

$ —
The Company records a valuation allowance against
its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that realization will not occur. The realization of deferred tax assets depends
upon the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income or other tax planning strategies available in the relevant taxing jurisdiction.
In evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management must determine whether there will be sufficient taxable income
to allow for the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical and anticipated future losses, management has determined
that the deferred tax assets do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for realizability. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025. The valuation allowance increased by $19.1 million during
the period October 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had
federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $1.0 million, which will be carried forward indefinitely to offset
future taxable income, subject to an 80% limitation of taxable income annually. In addition, the Company had state NOL’s of $1.0 million,
which also carry forward indefinitely.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had
no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s financial
statements. The Company is generally subject to three-year statute of limitations for federal and state jurisdictions.
8. Segment Reporting
The Company has one reportable segment relating
to the research and development of its research programs, GD and TED.
The Company’s CODM, its Chief Executive
Officer, manages the Company’s operations on a total basis and uses net loss for the allocation of resources and the assessment
of performance. Although the Company’s financial reporting package that is reviewed and approved by the CODM disaggregates significant
expenses, such as program-level expenses, decisions made by the CODM are based upon reviewing operating metrics and performance indications
at the Company-wide level and net loss. The CODM uses net loss to evaluate loss generated from the Company’s business activities
in deciding how to allocate company resources and in monitoring budget versus actual results.

9. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from
the balance sheet date through March 31, 2026, the issuance date of these financial statements and has not identified any events
requiring disclosure except as noted below.
In January 2026, the Company issued 1,299,727 options to purchase
the Company’s common stock at $6.19 per share to its executives and employees. The options vest over a 4-year period.

NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
Yarrow Bioscience, Inc. (“Yarrow”
or the “Company”), incorporated on October 3, 2025, is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformative
therapies for autoimmune thyroid diseases. Yarrow’s lead product candidate, YB-101 (also known as GenSci098), is a humanized, monoclonal
antibody targeting the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (“TSHR”). Yarrow intends to develop YB-101 for the treatment of
Graves’ disease (“GD”) and thyroid eye disease (“TED”). Both GD and TED are serious and poorly treated autoimmune
diseases in which autoantibodies against TSHR attack and overstimulate the receptor, leading to a wide spectrum of thyroidal and extra-thyroidal
clinical sequelae.
YB-101 was designed to selectively bind to TSHR
and block autoantibody-induced receptor activation, thereby directly inhibiting the pathogenic activity of thyroid-stimulating autoantibodies
that drive disease progression in GD and TED as well as the biological pathway responsible for hyperthyroidism and orbitopathy. Yarrow
believes that this novel and targeted approach represents a potential breakthrough for patients with GD and TED and has the potential
to address an important unmet need for therapies with differentiated risk-benefit profiles.
In December 2025, Yarrow in-licensed from
Changchun Genescience Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd. (“GenSci”) the exclusive rights to develop YB-101 for the treatment
of GD and TED outside of China. Yarrow’s development strategy is to advance YB-101 in GD and explore a clinical development plan
for TED with the goal of becoming the first company to commercialize an anti-TSHR antibody in the United States and other territories
outside of China. YB-101 is currently being evaluated by GenSci in an ongoing Phase 1 single ascending dose (“SAD”) and multiple
ascending dose trial in patients with TED in China. Yarrow submitted the GenSci SAD clinical data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) as part of the new investigational new drug application to support the initiation of a GD trial by Yarrow in the United
States, which was cleared by the FDA in March 2026. In addition, third-party clinical data from two SAD trials of another anti-TSHR
antibody, K1-70, further support the therapeutic potential of targeting TSHR in patients with GD and TED. In June 2026, Yarrow initiated
a combined Phase 2a/Phase 2b trial of YB-101 in patients with GD. Data from the Phase 2a portion of the trial are expected in the second
half of 2027.
In December 2025, the Company entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with VYNE Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VYNE”), which was
amended on January 30, 2026 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, Yellow Merger
Sub Corp., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE, merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary
of VYNE and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement,
and in order to provide the Company with additional capital for its development programs prior to the closing of the Merger, certain existing
investors entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which such investors purchased, immediately prior
to the Merger, shares of the Company’s common stock or, in lieu thereof, the Company’s pre-funded warrants to purchase the
Company’s common stock, for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million (the “Company Pre-Closing Financing”).
On July 27, 2026 (the “Closing Date”),
VYNE and the Company completed the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with the completion of the
Merger, the Company changed its name from “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” to “Yarrow Bioscience Operating Company Corp.,”
VYNE changed its name to “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” and the current business of the Company became the primary business
of the Combined Company. VYNE following the Merger is referred to herein as the “Combined Company.”
F-6
YARROW
BIOSCIENCE, INC.
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On the Closing Date, VYNE issued an aggregate
of 2,130,731 shares of its common stock to the Company’s stockholders (after giving effect to the 1-for-50 reverse stock split of
VYNE common stock in connection with the Merger), based on the exchange ratio of 0.7171 shares of VYNE common stock for each share of
the Company’s common stock, including those shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the conversion of the Company’s
preferred stock and those shares of the Company’s common stock issued in the Company Pre-Closing Financing. In addition, the Company’s
outstanding and unexercised pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and certain shares of the Company’s
common stock (including shares issued upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock and shares issued in the Company’s
Pre-Closing Financing) were converted into 25,590,346 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of VYNE common stock on the existing terms
and conditions and outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were converted into 2,002,282 options to
purchase shares of VYNE common stock on the existing terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting and accelerated vesting).
The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse
recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Under this method of accounting, the Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This determination
is primarily based on the fact that, immediately following the Merger: (i) the Company’s stockholders owned a substantial majority
of the voting rights in the Combined Company; (ii) the Company’s largest stockholder retained the largest interest in the Combined
Company; (iii) the Company designated the initial members of the board of directors of the Combined Company; and (iv) the Company’s
executive management team and certain of VYNE’s current management team became the management team of the Combined Company. Historical
share and per share amounts of the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 0.7171.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred losses since inception
and has an accumulated deficit of $80.3 million as of June 30, 2026. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until
such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales from its product candidates currently in development. The Company believes
its existing cash of $18.7 million as of June 30, 2026, and the proceeds from the Company Pre-Closing Financing of $100.0 million,
are sufficient to sustain planned operations through at least twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements.
The Company is subject to those risks associated
with any specialty biotechnology company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that
the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval,
or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change
and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies
included in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, has not materially changed, except
as set forth below.
Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30,
2026, the Company had no components of other comprehensive income or loss from non-owner sources. Accordingly, a separate Statement of
Comprehensive Income (Loss) has not been presented, and net loss equals total comprehensive loss for all periods presented. The accompanying
unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any references in these notes to applicable guidance
are meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in Accounting Standards Codifications and Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board.

YARROW
BIOSCIENCE, INC.
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the accompanying
interim financial statements include all the normal and recurring adjustments, which consist primarily of accruals, estimates, and assumptions
that impact financial statements, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026
and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Certain information and disclosures normally included
in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but that are not required for interim reporting purposes, have
been condensed or omitted.
These interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31,
2025 included in the Combined Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 13, 2026.
The results of operations for the interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, any other interim periods or any future year or period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying financial statements include the fair value of the Company’s
common stock, stock-based compensation expense assumptions and accrued research and development expenses. Due to the uncertainty of factors
surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements, actual results may vary from these estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period
they are determined to be necessary.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash relates to the amount required
as collateral to secure the Company’s operating lease for its corporate offices. As of June 30, 2026, the balance was in a
commercial money market account.
Statements of Cash Flows
The table below reconciles the cash, cash equivalents

fees and costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities may properly be deferred and charged against the gross
proceeds of such an offering. As of June 30, 2026, there were $2.3 million of transaction costs, primarily consisting of legal and
accounting fees for services directly attributable to the planned securities issuance, including comfort letters and consents, that were
capitalized in assets on the balance sheet.

NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Classification of Convertible
Preferred Stock
The Company has classified the Company’s
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) outside of stockholders’ deficit on the
Company’s balance sheet because the holders of such stock have certain liquidation rights in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event
(as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) that, in certain situations, is not solely within
the control of the Company and would require the redemption of the then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable,
except in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event (see Note 5). Because the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event is not currently
probable, the carrying values of the Convertible Preferred Stock are not being accreted to their redemption values. Subsequent adjustments
to the carrying values of the Convertible Preferred Stock would be made only when a Deemed Liquidation Event becomes probable.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred and principally consist of personnel costs as well as amounts paid to third parties for the provision of services for product
candidate development and related supply costs. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with agreements with
third parties to license their technologies are generally expensed as incurred as acquired in-process research and development, up to
the point of regulatory approval.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company measures stock-based awards, including
stock options, at their grant-date fair value and records compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting
period of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Estimating the fair value of stock options requires
the use of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected term of the option and expected
stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used
in calculating the fair value of stock options represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the
application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation
expense could be materially different for future awards.
The fair value of the Company’s common stock
is estimated by the Company’s board of directors, with input from management considering the most recently available third-party
valuation of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of stock options for employees is estimated using the “simplified
method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and
post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants. The simplified method is the midpoint between the vesting date
and the contractual term of the option. The contractual term is used as the expected term for stock options granted to non-employees.
For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for the expected volatility to calculate the fair
value of option grants. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve commensurate with the expected term of the option.
The expected dividend yield is zero given the Company does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share
of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible preferred stock,
which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number
of shares of common stock is the same as for basic net loss per share since when a net loss exists, potentially dilutive securities are
not included in the calculation as their impact is anti-dilutive. The Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder
to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company, and, if the Company were to recognize net income, it would have to use the two-class
method to calculate earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock have no obligation to fund losses.

YARROW
BIOSCIENCE, INC.
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2026, 14,516,188 shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, on an as converted basis, have been excluded from the computation
of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
There were no new accounting pronouncements that
were issued or became effective during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 that had, or are expected to have, a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

4. Commitments
and Contingencies
GenSci Agreement
On December 15, 2025, GenSci and Yarrow entered
into an exclusive license agreement (the “GenSci License Agreement”), pursuant to which Yarrow obtained from GenSci an exclusive,
royalty-bearing license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize YB-101 (also known as GenSci098), an antibody targeting the TSHR, outside
Greater China for all fields of use, including the treatment of GD and TED. GenSci retained rights to exploit these assets in Greater
China. Under the GenSci License Agreement, and subject to limited exceptions in which GenSci will perform certain development activities
outside Greater China, Yarrow is responsible for all development and commercialization activities for YB-101 outside Greater China. GenSci
is obligated to provide Yarrow with clinical data relating to YB-101 that exists as of the effective date in connection with the initial
know-how transfer. Additionally, each party is obligated to provide the other party with clinical data generated by that party during
the development of YB-101 as part of the ongoing knowledge sharing.
More specifically, clinical data generated by
GenSci will be shared with Yarrow for inclusion in global safety reports and regulatory submissions by Yarrow to global health authorities
including the FDA. Yarrow will become the manager of the YB-101 global safety database; as a result, data sharing between Yarrow and GenSci
will continue during the term of the GenSci License Agreement. Yarrow does not currently anticipate outsourcing preclinical or clinical
research to GenSci, but could consider doing so in the future. Manufacturing data generated by GenSci related to the manufacturing and
testing of YB-101 will be shared with Yarrow on an ongoing basis to support global regulatory filings related to manufacturing.
Subject to customary exceptions, during the term
of the GenSci License Agreement, neither Yarrow (with respect to activities outside Greater China) nor GenSci (with respect to activities
in Greater China), nor their respective affiliates, may directly or indirectly clinically develop or commercialize specified categories
of antibodies directed to TSHR.
Upon execution of the GenSci License Agreement,
the Company was required to pay GenSci a non-refundable upfront cash payment of $70 million. The upfront payment was recorded as acquired
in-process research and development in the Company’s statements of operations since further development and regulatory approval
of the licensed product candidates is necessary and there is no alternative use that the Company could benefit from.
F-10
YARROW
BIOSCIENCE, INC.
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GenSci is also eligible to receive up to approximately
$1.295 billion in additional contingent payments based on GenSci’s completion of the manufacturing technology transfer, GenSci’s
achievement of a development milestone, as well as Yarrow’s achievement of development, regulatory approval, and commercial sales-based
milestones. Specifically, GenSci is eligible to receive up to approximately $100 million in contingent payments based on the achievement
of specified clinical development milestones by Yarrow or GenSci, including a $50 million near-term development milestone, as applicable,
and up to $150 million in contingent payments based on Yarrow’s achievement of specified regulatory approval milestones. In addition,
GenSci is eligible to receive tiered royalties ranging from the low teens to the low-mid teens on annual net product sales outside Greater
China during the applicable royalty term. The royalty term for a licensed product in a given country commences upon the first commercial
sale of the licensed product in that country and continues until the latest of: (a) the expiration of the last royalty-bearing valid
claim of the licensed patents covering the licensed product in that country; (b) the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale
of the licensed product in that country; and (c) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity for the licensed product in that country.
The expected expiry of the last-to-expire royalty payment obligation is January 20, 2046.
The GenSci License Agreement will remain in effect
until the expiration of all royalty terms. Either party may terminate the GenSci License Agreement for an uncured material breach or insolvency
of the other party. GenSci may terminate the GenSci License Agreement in the event of a specified patent challenge by Yarrow or its affiliates
or if Yarrow ceases all development activities outside Greater China for a substantial period of time prior to achieving a specified regulatory
approval milestone. Following a specified near-term triggering event, Yarrow may terminate the GenSci License Agreement for convenience
upon providing the required notice.
Purchase Commitments
The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business
with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, universities, and other third parties for preclinical research
studies, clinical trials and testing and manufacturing services. These contracts generally do not contain minimum purchase commitments
and are cancellable by the Company upon prior written notice although purchase orders for clinical materials are generally non-cancellable.
Payments due upon cancellation consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancellable obligations
of the Company’s service providers, up to the date of cancellation or upon completion of a manufacturing run.
Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from
claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.
5. Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock
Convertible Preferred Stock
In December 2025, the Company sold 14,516,188
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at an original issue price of $6.89 per share.
The following is a summary of the rights, preferences,
and terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock:
Dividends
The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive dividends payable when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, with the holders of common
stock, paid out of any assets or on the common stock of the Company, on an as-converted to common stock basis. The Company may not declare
or pay dividends on common stock or other junior securities unless the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock receive, on a pro rata,
as-converted basis, dividends at least equal to those payable on the common stock. No dividends on common stock were declared or paid
from inception through June 30, 2026.

YARROW
BIOSCIENCE, INC.
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Voting
The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to vote on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company. Each holder of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock are convertible. For as long as at least 3,629,048 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two directors. The holders of common stock and Convertible Preferred Stock, together as a single
class, are entitled to elect the balance of the total directors of the corporation and on an as-converted basis. As of June 30, 2026,
the Company had five directors.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, including a Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of common stock, an amount
equal to the greater of (i) the original issue price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid, or (ii) such amount per share
as would have been payable had all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into common stock immediately prior to liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. As of June 30, 2026, the liquidation amount is $6.89 per share for Convertible Preferred Stock.
A Deemed Liquidation Event shall include a merger
or consolidation in which the Company is a constituent party (other than one in which the current stockholders of the Company own a majority
of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the surviving company) or the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.
Conversion
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
into a number of shares of common stock equal to the original issue price divided by the conversion price, subject to adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar recapitalizations, as well as certain anti-dilution adjustments in the event of issuances
of equity securities at a price below the then-effective conversion price, as set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation. The conversion price is $6.89 per share for Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, as of June 30, 2026, each
outstanding share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock automatically
converts to common stock upon (1) an initial public offering resulting in a pre-money valuation of the Company of at least $125 million
and at least $50 million in gross proceeds to the Company; or (2) upon a closing of a business combination between the Company and
a public company pursuant to the public company acquiring 100% of the Company’s outstanding equity (including a reverse merger).
Redemption
The Convertible Preferred Stock does not have
redemption rights, except for the contingent redemption upon the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event.
Common Stock
The holders of the common stock are entitled to
one vote for each share of common stock held at all meetings of stockholders. Unless required by law, there shall be no cumulative voting.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after the payment of all preferential
amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the remaining funds and assets available for distribution
to the stockholders of the Company will be distributed among the holders of shares of common stock, pro rata based on the number
of shares of common stock held by each such holder.
6. Related-Party
Transactions
In December 2025, the Company’s sole
common stockholder participated in the Convertible Preferred Stock financing for $25 million. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025,
the Company owed the investor $0.6 million for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Company’s financing. At June 30,
2026, the Company does not owe the stockholder any further reimbursements.

Reporting
The Company has one reportable segment relating
to the research and development of its research programs, GD and TED.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker
(“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s operations on a total basis and uses net loss for the allocation
of resources and the assessment of performance. Although the Company’s financial reporting package that is reviewed and approved
by the CODM disaggregates significant expenses, such as program-level expenses, decisions made by the CODM are based upon reviewing operating
metrics and performance indications at the Company-wide level and net loss. The CODM uses net loss to evaluate loss generated from the
Company’s business activities in deciding how to allocate company resources and in monitoring budget versus actual results.

YARROW MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion
and analysis of Yarrow’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and the
related notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the Combined Company’s (as defined below) Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2026 (the
“Form 8-K”) and our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 8-K. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements based upon Yarrow’s current plans, estimates and beliefs related to future events and
Yarrow’s future financial performance that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Yarrow’s actual results and the
timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in
the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed on Form S-4 with the SEC, most recently amended on June 3, 2026, and
declared effective on June 15, 2026 (the “proxy statement/prospectus”), particularly in the section titled
“Risk Factors.”
Overview
Yarrow is a clinical-stage biotechnology company
focused on developing transformative therapies for autoimmune thyroid diseases. Yarrow’s lead product candidate, YB-101 (also known
as GenSci098), is a humanized, monoclonal antibody targeting the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (“TSHR”), which Yarrow
plans to develop for the treatment of Graves’ disease (“GD”) and potentially thyroid eye disease (“TED”).
Both GD and TED are serious and poorly treated autoimmune diseases in which autoantibodies against TSHR attack and overstimulate the receptor,
leading to a wide spectrum of thyroidal and extra-thyroidal clinical sequelae. YB-101 was designed to selectively bind to TSHR and block
autoantibody-induced receptor activation, thereby directly inhibiting the pathogenic activity of thyroid-stimulating autoantibodies that
drive disease progression in GD and TED as well as the biological pathway responsible for hyperthyroidism and orbitopathy. In December 2025,
Yarrow in-licensed from Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, “GenSci”) the
exclusive rights to develop YB-101 for the treatment of GD and TED outside of China.
From its inception in October 2025 until
it in-licensed the exclusive rights to develop YB-101 for GD and TED outside of China from GenSci, Yarrow devoted substantially all of
its resources to raising capital, organizing and staffing Yarrow, business and scientific planning, establishing arrangements with third
parties, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Since December 2025, Yarrow has continued its focus
on these activities and has also initiated clinical development of YB-101 in GD, including filing an investigational new drug application
(“IND”) with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), which has been cleared, and the initiation of a combined
Phase 2a/ Phase 2b trial of YB-101 in patients with GD in June 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, Yarrow has seven employees
and does not intend to use any of the workforce of VYNE Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VYNE”), or GenSci going
forward, except for the appointment of VYNE’s Chief Financial Officer, Tyler Zeronda, as Chief Financial Officer of the Combined
Company as of the closing of the Merger (as defined below), and potential continued employment of certain finance personnel from VYNE’s
finance department. Yarrow does not have any products approved for sale and has not generated any revenue from product sales. To date,
Yarrow has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of Yarrow’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (the “Yarrow Preferred Stock”), from which Yarrow received gross proceeds of $100.0 million
in December 2025.
Yarrow has incurred operating losses since inception.
Yarrow’s ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development
and eventual commercialization of YB-101 and any future product candidates Yarrow may develop. Yarrow generated net losses of $6.5 million
and $9.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, Yarrow had an accumulated
deficit of $80.3 million. Yarrow expects to continue to incur significantly increased expenses for the foreseeable future if and as Yarrow:
· continues the clinical development of YB-101 in the United States and territories outside of China and initiates and advances preclinical
studies and clinical trials of future product candidates;
· seeks and identifies additional product candidates and initiates discovery-related activities and preclinical studies for those product
candidates;
· pursues INDs or comparable foreign applications that allow commencement of its planned clinical trials or future clinical trials;
· initiates enrollment in and successfully completes clinical trials;
· hires research and development, clinical, manufacturing and commercial personnel;
· adds operational, financial and management information systems and personnel;
· experiences any delays, challenges, or other issues associated with the preclinical and clinical development of its product candidates,
including with respect to its regulatory strategies;
· develops, maintains and enhances a sustainable, scalable, reproducible and transferable clinical and commercial-scale current good
manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) capabilities through a third-party or Yarrow’s own manufacturing facility for Yarrow’s
current and any future product candidates;
· seeks, obtains and maintains regulatory approvals for any product candidates for which Yarrow successfully completes clinical trials;
· ultimately establishes a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any product candidates for which Yarrow
may obtain regulatory approval;
· generates revenue from commercial sales of product candidates for which Yarrow receives regulatory approval, if any;
· pursues positive results from future clinical trials that support the safety, tolerability and efficacy profile of any product candidates
Yarrow may develop;
· maintains, expands, enforces, defends and protects its intellectual property portfolio and other intellectual property protection
or regulatory exclusivity for any products Yarrow may develop and defend any intellectual property-related claims;
· further acquires or in-licenses product candidates or programs, intellectual property and technologies;
· maintains Yarrow’s current collaborations and establishes and maintains any future collaborations, including making royalty,
milestone or other payments thereunder; and
· incurs additional costs of operating as a public company, including increased costs of audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services
associated with maintaining compliance with an exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums and investor
and public relations costs.
Any changes in the outcome of any of these variables
with respect to the development of Yarrow’s current and any future product candidates could mean a significant change in the costs
and timing associated with the development of such product candidates. For example, if the FDA or another comparable regulatory authority
were to require Yarrow to conduct clinical trials beyond those that Yarrow currently anticipates, or if Yarrow experiences significant
delays in its future preclinical studies or clinical trials, Yarrow would be required to expend significant additional financial resources
and time to advance and complete clinical development. Yarrow may never obtain regulatory approval for any of its product candidates.
Yarrow will not generate revenue from product
sales unless and until Yarrow successfully initiates and completes clinical development and obtains regulatory approval for any product
candidates. If Yarrow obtains regulatory approval for any of its product candidates and does not enter into a commercialization partnership,
Yarrow expects to incur significant expenses related to developing its commercialization capability to support product sales, manufacturing,
marketing, and distribution.
As a result of all the foregoing, Yarrow expects
to need substantial additional funding to support its continued operations and growth strategy. Until such a time as Yarrow can generate
significant revenue from product sales, if ever, Yarrow expects to finance its operations through the sale of equity, debt financings
or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. Yarrow may be unable to raise
additional funds or enter into such other agreements on favorable terms, or at all. If Yarrow fails to raise capital or enter into such
agreements as, and when, needed, Yarrow may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization
of one or more of its product candidates.
Because of the numerous risks associated with
product development, Yarrow is unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if Yarrow will be able
to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if Yarrow is able to generate product sales, Yarrow may not become profitable. If Yarrow fails
to become profitable or is unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then Yarrow may be unable to continue its operations
at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate its operations.
As of June 30, 2026, Yarrow had cash and
cash equivalents of $18.7 million.
VYNE and Yarrow entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger on December 17, 2025, as amended on January 30, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which,
among other matters, Yellow Merger Sub Corp., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE, merged with and into Yarrow, with Yarrow surviving
as a wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger,
VYNE changed its name to “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” VYNE following the Merger is referred to herein as the “Combined
Company.” The Combined Company is led by Yarrow’s management team and is focused on developing transformative therapies for
autoimmune thyroid diseases.
Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement,
Yarrow entered into a Series A stock purchase agreement (the “Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”) with
certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which such persons invested in and purchased an aggregate of 14,516,188 shares
of Yarrow Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $6.89 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to Yarrow of $100.0 million.
Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement,
Yarrow also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors pursuant
to which Yarrow issued and sold to investors, immediately prior to the Merger, shares of Yarrow common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Yarrow Common Stock”), or in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Yarrow Common Stock (each, a “Yarrow
Pre-Funded Warrant”) for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million (the “Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing”). At
the effective time of the Merger, (i) shares of Yarrow Common Stock issued in the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing converted into shares
of VYNE common stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) and (ii) Yarrow Pre-Funded Warrants converted into
a pre-funded warrant to purchase shares of VYNE common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement and the form
of pre-funded warrant. The proceeds from the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing are expected to advance the Combined Company’s pipeline
and will be used for research and development, business development, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
On July 27, 2026 (the
“Closing Date”), the Company completed the Merger. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company changed its
name from “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” to “Yarrow Bioscience Operating Company Corp.,” VYNE changed its name
to “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” and the current business of the Company became the primary business of the Combined Company.
On the Closing Date, VYNE
issued an aggregate of 2,130,731 shares of its common stock to the Company’s stockholders (after giving effect to the 1-for-50 reverse
stock split of VYNE common stock in connection with the Merger), based on the exchange ratio of 0.7171 shares of VYNE common stock for
each share of Yarrow Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), including those shares of Yarrow Common Stock issued upon the conversion
of the Company’s preferred stock and those shares of Yarrow Common Stock issued in the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing . In addition,
the outstanding and unexercised Yarrow Pre-Funded Warrants were converted into 25,590,346 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of VYNE
common stock on the existing terms and conditions and outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were
converted into 2,002,282 options to purchase shares of VYNE common stock on the existing terms and conditions (including with respect
to vesting and accelerated vesting).
The Merger has been accounted
for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, the Company is deemed to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. This
determination is primarily based on the fact that, immediately following the Merger: (i) the Company’s stockholders own a substantial
majority of the voting rights in the Combined Company; (ii) the Company’s largest stockholders retained the largest interest
in the Combined Company; (iii) the Company designated the initial members of the board of directors of the Combined Company; and
(iv) the Company’s executive management team became the management team of the Combined Company. Historical common stock figures
of the Company have been retroactively restated based on the exchange ratio of approximately 0.7171.
Yarrow estimates that the net proceeds from the
Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 will be sufficient to enable
Yarrow to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028. Yarrow has based this estimate on assumptions that
may prove to be wrong, Yarrow’s operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to Yarrow and Yarrow could
exhaust its available capital resources sooner than Yarrow expects. See the sections titled “— Liquidity and Capital
Resources” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Yarrow — Risks Related to Yarrow’s
Limited Operating History, Financial Position and Capital Requirements” in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Impact of General Economic Risk Factors on Yarrow’s Operations
Uncertainty in the global economy presents significant
risks to Yarrow’s business. Yarrow is subject to continuing risks and uncertainties in connection with the current macroeconomic
environment, including increases in inflation, fluctuating interest rates, new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade, changes
to fiscal and monetary policy or government budget dynamics (particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotech areas), bank failures, geopolitical
factors, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and the responses thereto and rising tensions
with China, and supply chain disruptions. While Yarrow is closely monitoring the impact of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical
conditions on all aspects of its business, including the impacts on Yarrow’s access to capital, ability to manufacture drug product,
ability to conduct clinical trials, and its clinical trial participants, employees, suppliers, vendors and business partners, the ultimate
extent of the impact on Yarrow’s business remains highly uncertain and will depend on future developments and factors that continue
to evolve. Most of these developments and factors are outside Yarrow’s control and could exist for an extended period of time. Yarrow
will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the potential impacts to its business, results of operations, liquidity and capital
resources. For additional information, see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Yarrow — Risks
Related to Yarrow’s Business and Operations” in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
To date, Yarrow has not generated revenue from
any sources, including product sales, and does not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future.
If Yarrow’s development efforts for its product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, Yarrow may generate
revenue in the future from product sales or payments from future collaboration or license agreements that Yarrow may enter into with third
parties, or any combination thereof. Yarrow cannot predict if, when, or to what extent Yarrow will generate revenue from the commercialization
and sale of its product candidates. Yarrow may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any of its product candidates.
Operating Expenses
Yarrow’s operating expenses consist of (i) research
and development expenses and (ii) general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily
of costs incurred in connection with the development and research of Yarrow’s product candidates. These expenses include:
· expenses incurred in connection with the clinical development of YB-101 and discovery-phase and clinical development of any future
product candidates Yarrow may identify, including under future agreements with third parties, such as consultants and contractors; and
· personnel-related expenses, including recruiting costs, salaries, bonuses, benefits and equity-based compensation expense.
Yarrow expenses research and development costs
as incurred. For the period from October 3, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025, Yarrow recognized $70.0 million of expenses
in connection with the upfront payment to GenSci for entry into the GenSci License Agreement (as defined below), in Yarrow’s statement
of operations. See the section titled “Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments” below for further details on
the research plan.
Yarrow’s primary focus since inception has
been the identification and development of its pipeline product candidates. Yarrow’s research and development expenses primarily
consist of external costs, such as the upfront payment made to GenSci under the GenSci License Agreement. See the section titled “Contractual
Obligations and Other Commitments” below for further details on the GenSci License Agreement.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily
of personnel-related expenses, including recruiting costs, salaries, bonuses, benefits, and equity-based compensation, for individuals
in Yarrow’s executive, finance, operations, human resources, legal, business development and other administrative functions. Other
significant general and administrative expenses include legal fees relating to corporate matters and patent-related activities, insurance
costs, information technology, and professional and consulting fees associated with accounting, audit, tax and investor and public relations.
Yarrow expects that its general and administrative
expenses will increase substantially for the foreseeable future as Yarrow increases its headcount to support the expected growth. Yarrow
also expects to incur increased expenses associated with the Merger, the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing and becoming a public company, including
increased costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax related services associated with maintaining compliance with SEC requirements,
additional director and officer insurance costs, and investor and public relations costs. Yarrow also expects to incur additional intellectual
property-related expenses as Yarrow files patent applications to protect innovations arising from its research and development activities.

as Yarrow began preparing to become a public company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Since its inception, Yarrow has incurred significant
operating losses. Yarrow expects to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as Yarrow commences clinical
development of YB-101. Yarrow has not yet commercialized any products and Yarrow does not expect to generate revenue from sales of products
for several years, if at all. To date, Yarrow has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of Yarrow Preferred
Stock. In December 2025, Yarrow received $100.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of Yarrow Preferred Stock. As of
June 30, 2026, Yarrow had cash and cash equivalents of $18.7 million.
Yarrow’s primary use of cash is to fund
the development of YB-101 and advance its pipeline. This includes both the research and development costs and the general and administrative
expenses required to support those operations. Since Yarrow is currently a clinical-stage biotechnology company, Yarrow has incurred significant
operating losses since its inception and Yarrow anticipates such losses to increase as Yarrow continues to pursue clinical development
of its product candidates, prepares for the potential commercialization of Yarrow’s product candidates, and expands Yarrow’s
pipeline research and development efforts.
Yarrow has historically financed
its operations through the sale of its preferred stock. However, there can be no assurance that Yarrow will be able to obtain additional
liquidity through financings or in the public market or that these funds will be readily available at terms acceptable to Yarrow or in
an amount sufficient to enable Yarrow to satisfy its obligations or sustain operations in the future. If Yarrow is unable to raise sufficient
additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables and indebtedness, reduce overhead, or scale
back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations or force Yarrow to grant rights
to develop and commercialize product candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and commercialize on its own. There can be no
assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Yarrow estimates that the net proceeds from the
Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing of $100 million, received in July 2026, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30,
2026 will be sufficient to enable Yarrow to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028. Yarrow will need
to secure additional financing in the future to fund additional research and development, and before a commercial drug can be produced,
marketed, and sold. If Yarrow is unable to obtain additional financing or generate license or product revenue, the lack of liquidity could
have a material adverse effect on Yarrow.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net
cash used in operating activities was $81.2 million, which was primarily attributable to the payment of the acquired research and development
that was included in the accrued expenses at December 31, 2025 and the net loss of $9.2 million.
Future Funding Requirements
To date, Yarrow has not generated any revenue
from product sales. Yarrow does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until Yarrow successfully completes preclinical
and clinical development of, receives regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product candidate, and Yarrow does not know when,
or if at all, that will occur. Yarrow expects its expenses to increase substantially in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly
as Yarrow initiates clinical trials and advances future preclinical activities and studies. In addition, if Yarrow obtains regulatory
approval for any product candidates, Yarrow expects to incur significant expenses related to product sales, marketing, and distribution
to the extent that such sales, marketing and distribution are not the responsibility of potential collaborators. The timing and amount
of Yarrow’s operating expenditures will depend largely on the factors set out above. For more information, see the section titled
“Risk Factors — Risks Related to Yarrow — Risks Related To Yarrow’s Limited Operating
History, Financial Position and Capital Requirements” in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Yarrow’s funding requirements and timing
and amount of its operating expenditures will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
· the rate of progress in Yarrow’s clinical development of YB-101 and future research and development and discovery-related development
of future product candidates;
· the scope, progress, results and costs of product candidates and discovery-related activities and preclinical studies for those product
candidates;
· Yarrow’s ability to successfully file INDs or comparable foreign applications and obtain authorization to commence Yarrow’s
planned clinical trials or future clinical trials;
· the costs of enrollment and successful completion of clinical trials;
· the costs necessary to pursue positive results from Yarrow’s future clinical trials that support a finding of safety and effectiveness
and an acceptable risk-benefit profile in the intended populations;
· the costs of hiring research and development, clinical, manufacturing and commercial personnel;
· the costs of adding operational, financial and management information systems and personnel;
· the costs necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, if any, for any approved products in the United States and other jurisdictions,
and the costs of post-marketing studies that could be required by regulatory authorities in jurisdictions where approval is obtained;
· the costs of developing, maintaining and enhancing sustainable, scalable, reproducible and transferable clinical and commercial-scale
cGMP capabilities through a third-party or Yarrow’s own manufacturing facility for its product candidates;
· the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including establishing sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure
to commercialize any product candidates, for any of Yarrow’s product candidates for which Yarrow receives regulatory approval;
· the revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of Yarrow’s product candidates for which Yarrow receives marketing approval;
· the costs and timing of preparing, maintaining, expanding, enforcing, defending and protecting Yarrow’s intellectual property
rights and protection or regulatory exclusivity for any products Yarrow may develop and defending any intellectual property-related claims;
· the timing and payment of milestone, royalty or other payments Yarrow must make pursuant to Yarrow’s existing and potential
future collaborations and licensing arrangements with third parties;
· the costs Yarrow incurs in maintaining business operations;
· the costs associated with being a public company, including costs of audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated
with maintaining compliance with an exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums and investor and public
relations costs;
· the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
· the extent to which Yarrow acquires or invests in businesses, products and technologies, including entering into licensing or collaboration
arrangements for product candidates.
Identifying potential programs and product candidates
and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials is a time consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete,
and Yarrow may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition,
Yarrow’s product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. Yarrow’s commercial revenues, if any, will be
derived from sales of products that Yarrow does not expect to be commercially available for many years, if ever. Accordingly, Yarrow
will need to obtain substantial additional funds to achieve its business objectives.
Adequate additional funds may not be available
to Yarrow on acceptable terms, or at all. Yarrow does not currently have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that Yarrow
raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the
terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. Additional
debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting Yarrow’s
ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends and may require the issuance
of warrants, which could potentially dilute your ownership interest.
If Yarrow raises additional funds through strategic
collaborations or licensing arrangements with third parties, Yarrow may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future
revenue streams, research programs, or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to Yarrow. If Yarrow is
unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, Yarrow may be required to delay, limit or terminate its
product development programs or any future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates to third
parties that Yarrow would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself.
Yarrow estimates that the net proceeds from the
Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents as of the June 30, 2026 will be sufficient to
enable Yarrow to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028. Yarrow has based this estimate on assumptions
that may prove to be wrong, Yarrow’s operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to Yarrow and Yarrow
could exhaust its available capital resources sooner than Yarrow expects.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
GenSci License Agreement
On December 15, 2025, GenSci and Yarrow entered
into an exclusive license agreement (the “GenSci License Agreement”), pursuant to which Yarrow obtained from GenSci an exclusive,
royalty-bearing license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize YB-101 (also known as GenSci098), an antibody targeting the TSHR, outside
Greater China for all fields of use, including the treatment of GD and TED. GenSci retained rights to exploit these assets in Greater
China. Under the GenSci License Agreement, and subject to limited exceptions in which GenSci will perform certain development activities
outside Greater China, Yarrow is responsible for all development and commercialization activities for YB-101 outside Greater China. GenSci
is obligated to provide Yarrow with clinical data relating to YB-101 that exists as of the effective date in connection with the initial
know-how transfer. Additionally, each party is obligated to provide the other party with certain clinical data generated by that party
during the development of YB-101 as part of the ongoing information exchange.
More specifically, clinical data generated by
GenSci will be shared with Yarrow for inclusion in global safety reports and regulatory submissions by Yarrow to global health authorities
including the FDA. Yarrow will become the manager of the YB-101 global safety database responsible for the maintenance, compilation and
submission of required safety reports to global health authorities including the FDA; as a result, data sharing between Yarrow and GenSci
will continue during the term of the GenSci License Agreement. Yarrow does not currently anticipate outsourcing preclinical or clinical
research to GenSci, but could consider doing so in the future. Manufacturing data generated by GenSci related to the manufacturing and
testing of YB-101 will be shared with Yarrow on an ongoing basis to support global regulatory filings related to manufacturing.
Exclusivity
Subject to customary exceptions, during the term
of the GenSci License Agreement, neither Yarrow (with respect to activities outside Greater China) nor GenSci (with respect to activities
in Greater China), nor their respective affiliates, may directly or indirectly clinically develop or commercialize specified categories
of antibodies directed to TSHR.
Financial Consideration
Under the GenSci License Agreement, GenSci received
an upfront payment of $70.0 million. GenSci is also eligible to receive up to approximately $1.295 billion in additional contingent
payments based on GenSci’s completion of the manufacturing technology transfer, GenSci’s achievement of a development milestone,
as well as Yarrow’s achievement of development, regulatory approval, and commercial sales-based milestones. Specifically, GenSci
is eligible to receive up to approximately $100 million in contingent payments based on the achievement of specified clinical development
milestones by Yarrow or GenSci, including a $50 million near-term development milestone, as applicable, and up to $150 million in contingent
payments based on Yarrow’s achievement of specified regulatory approval milestones. In addition, GenSci is eligible to receive tiered
royalties ranging from the low teens to the low-mid teens on annual net product sales outside Greater China during the applicable royalty
term. The royalty term for a licensed product in a given country commences upon the first commercial sale of the licensed product in that
country and continues until the latest of: (a) the expiration of the last royalty-bearing valid claim of the licensed patents covering
the licensed product in that country; (b) the tenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the licensed product in that country;
and (c) the expiration of all regulatory exclusivity for the licensed product in that country. The expected expiry of the last-to-expire
royalty payment obligation is January 20, 2046.
Termination
The GenSci License Agreement will remain in effect
until the expiration of all royalty terms. Either party may terminate the GenSci License Agreement for an uncured material breach or insolvency
of the other party. GenSci may terminate the GenSci License Agreement in the event of a specified patent challenge by Yarrow or its affiliates
or if Yarrow ceases all development activities outside Greater China for a substantial period of time prior to achieving a specified regulatory
approval milestone. Following a specified near-term triggering event, Yarrow may terminate the GenSci License Agreement for convenience
upon providing the required notice.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Yarrow’s management’s discussion and
analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based on its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Yarrow 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 revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Yarrow’s estimates are based on its
historical experience and on various other factors that Yarrow believes 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 Yarrow’s significant accounting policies
are described in more detail in Note 2 to its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026 included elsewhere in the Form 8-K,
Yarrow believes the following accounting policies used in the preparation of Yarrow’s financial statements require the most significant
judgments and estimates.
Research and Development Contract Costs Accruals
Yarrow records the costs associated with research
and development as incurred. These costs are a significant component of Yarrow’s research and development expenses, with a substantial
portion of Yarrow’s ongoing research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, including CROs and contract
manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”).
Yarrow accrues for expenses resulting from payments
due under the GenSci License Agreement and agreements with CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers for which payment flows do
not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to Yarrow. Accruals are recorded based on estimates of services received
and efforts expended pursuant to agreements established with GenSci, CROs, CMOs, and other outside service providers. These estimates
are typically based on contracted amounts applied to the proportion of work performed and determined through analysis with internal personnel
and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services. Yarrow makes significant judgments and estimates
in determining the accrual balance in each reporting period. In the event advance payments are made to GenSci, a CRO, a CMO, or outside
service provider, the payments will be recorded as a prepaid asset which will be expensed as the contracted services are performed. Changes
in these estimates that result in material changes to Yarrow’s accruals could materially affect Yarrow’s results of operations.
For the periods presented, Yarrow has not experienced any material deviations between accrued and actual research and development expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
Yarrow measures stock-based awards granted to
employees, directors, and non-employees in the form of stock options to purchase shares of Yarrow Common Stock, based on their fair value
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model. Compensation expense for those awards is recognized using the straight-line method
over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award for employees. Compensation expense for
awards to non-employees with service-based vesting conditions is recognized in the same manner as if Yarrow had paid cash in exchange
for the goods or services, which is generally over the vesting period of the award. Yarrow accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Yarrow
classifies its stock-based compensation expenses in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified
or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
The Black-Scholes model uses inputs that are determined
by the Yarrow board of directors on the date of grant and assumptions Yarrow makes for the volatility of stock-based awards, the expected
term of stock-based awards, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of Yarrow’s stock-based
awards and its expected dividend yield. Yarrow has historically been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied
volatility information of its stock. Therefore, Yarrow estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a
representative group of public companies in the biotechnology industry for a term equal to the remaining time of the expected term. The
expected term of Yarrow’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify
as “plain-vanilla” stock options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve
for time periods approximately equal to the remaining contractual term of the options on the date of measurement. Yarrow has estimated
a 0% dividend yield based on the expected dividend yield and the fact that Yarrow has never paid, and does not expect to pay, any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. See Note 2 to Yarrow’s financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026 included
elsewhere in the Form 8-K for information concerning certain of the specific assumptions Yarrow used in applying the Black-Scholes
model to determine the estimated fair value of its stock options granted in the periods presented.
Determination of Fair Value of Common Stock
As there has been no public market for the Yarrow
Common Stock from October 3, 2025 (inception) to the Closing Date, the estimated fair value of stock-based awards has been determined
by the Yarrow board of directors as of the date of grant, with input from management, and with consideration of additional objective and
subjective factors that Yarrow believed were relevant. All options to purchase shares of Yarrow Common Stock are intended to be granted
with an exercise price per share no less than the estimated fair value per share of the common stock underlying those options on the date
of grant, based on the information known to Yarrow on the date of grant. The third-party valuations of the common stock were performed
using methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting
Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. In addition, the Yarrow board of directors
considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of Yarrow’s share-based awards as of each grant
date, including:
· the price at which Yarrow sold shares of Yarrow Preferred Stock and the preferences of the Yarrow Preferred Stock relative to its
stock-based awards at the time of each grant;
· the valuations of Yarrow Common Stock;
· the progress of Yarrow’s research and development programs;
· Yarrow’s stage of development and business strategy;
· external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry and trends within the biotechnology industry;
· Yarrow’s financial position, including cash on hand, and Yarrow’s historical and forecasted performance and operating
results; and
· the lack of an active public market for Yarrow Common Stock at the grant dates.
Yarrow Common Stock valuations were prepared using
a hybrid method, including an option pricing method (“OPM”). The OPM treats common stock and preferred stock as call options
on the total equity value of a company, with exercise prices based on the value thresholds at which the allocation among the various holders
of a company’s securities changes. Under this method, the common stock has value only if the funds available for distribution to
stockholders exceed the value of the preferred stock liquidation preferences at the time of the liquidity event, such as a strategic sale
or a merger. The hybrid method is a probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”), where the equity value in one or
more of the scenarios is calculated using an OPM. The PWERM is a scenario-based methodology that estimates the fair value of common stock
based upon an analysis of future values for the company, assuming various outcomes. The common stock value is based on the probability-weighted
present value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible outcomes available as well as the rights of each
class of stock. The future value of the common stock under each outcome is discounted back to the valuation date at an appropriate risk-adjusted
discount rate and probability weighted to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock. A discount for lack of marketability
of the common stock is then applied to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock.
Yarrow’s independent third-party valuation
was used, in part, by Yarrow’s board of directors to determine the price per share of Yarrow Common Stock and by management to determine
the estimated fair value of the Yarrow Common Stock. This valuation utilized the hybrid method described above to value the common stock
as of December 17, 2025. This valuation included the merger transaction and longer term trade sale / transaction scenarios. From
inception to June 30, 2026, Yarrow has issued the following stock option awards to its employees and non-employee directors:

(1) Yarrow’s independent third-party valuation (the “valuation”) was used, in part, by the Yarrow board of directors
to determine the price per share of common stock and by management to determine the estimated fair value of the common stock. An independent
third-party valuation of Yarrow determined that the value of Yarrow’s common stock was $6.19 per share as of December 17, 2025,
which was utilized as an input to determine the exercise price and the grant date fair value of stock options granted by Yarrow on January 30,
2026, April 17, 2026 and June 25, 2026. The fair value of Yarrow’s common stock was estimated using a hybrid method as
part of Yarrow’s December 17, 2025 valuation of its common stock price per share, which considered a merger transaction scenario
and a longer term trade sale / transaction scenario. The probability of a merger scenario in such valuation was 80%, which was mainly
driven by Yarrow’s execution of the Merger Agreement, the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, and the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
The difference between the fair value of the Yarrow
Common Stock as of December 17, 2025 of $6.19 per share and the merger valuation of approximately $9.84 per share is the result
of the application of (i) a present value discount reflecting the expected timing of the Merger closing and (ii) a discount
for lack of marketability of the Yarrow Common Stock, which were both taken into account in Yarrow’s determination of the fair value
of its common stock in the December 17, 2025 valuation. Additionally, the merger valuation is based only upon a scenario in which
Yarrow completes the Merger and is not probability-weighted, in contrast to the December 17, 2025 valuation of the Yarrow Common
Stock, which considered multiple potential outcomes, resulting in a lower valuation of the common stock than the merger valuation. Yarrow
also signed the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement at $6.89 per share concurrently with the execution of the Merger
Agreement. The $6.89 price is generally consistent with the value of common stock implied by the merger scenario in the December 17,
2025 valuation after applying the present value adjustment and discount for lack of marketability described above.
In the valuation, the probability weighting of
the merger transaction scenario was 80%. If Yarrow had instead applied a weighting of 100% to the scheduled merger transaction scenario,
the fair value of the common stock in the December 17, 2025 valuation would have been $8.63 per share (before giving effect
to any discount for lack of marketability) as of December 17, 2025.
The assumptions underlying these valuations represented
management’s best estimate, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result,
if Yarrow had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of Yarrow’s incentive shares and its stock-based
compensation expense could have been materially different.

Exhibit 99.6
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
Defined terms included below shall have the
same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in the Combined Company’s (as defined below) Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2026 (the “Form 8-K”).
On December 17, 2025, Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Yarrow”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with VYNE Therapeutics
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VYNE”), which was amended on January 30, 2026 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”),
pursuant to which, among other matters, Yellow Merger Sub Corp., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE (“Merger Sub”),
merged with and into Yarrow, with Yarrow surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE and the surviving corporation of the merger (the
“Merger”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and in order to provide Yarrow with additional capital
for its development programs prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), certain existing investors entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Yarrow, pursuant to which such investors purchased,
immediately prior to the Merger, shares of Yarrow’s common stock (“Yarrow Common Stock”) or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded
warrants to purchase shares of Yarrow Common Stock (“Yarrow Pre-Funded Warrants”), for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million
(the “Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing”).
On July 27, 2026 (the
“Closing Date”), Yarrow and VYNE completed the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection
with the completion of the Merger, Yarrow changed its name from “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” to “Yarrow Bioscience Operating Company Corp.,” VYNE changed its name to “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” and the current business of Yarrow
became the primary business of the Combined Company. VYNE following the Merger is referred to herein as the “Combined Company.”
On the Closing Date, VYNE issued an aggregate
of 2,130,731 shares of VYNE’s common stock (“VYNE Common Stock”) to Yarrow stockholders (after giving effect to the
1-for-50 reverse stock split of VYNE Common Stock in connection with the Merger), based on the exchange ratio of 0.7171 shares of VYNE
Common Stock for each share of Yarrow Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), including those shares of Yarrow Common Stock issued
upon the conversion of Yarrow’s Series A preferred stock (“Yarrow Preferred Stock”) and those shares of Yarrow
Common Stock issued in the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing. In addition, the outstanding and unexercised Yarrow Pre-Funded Warrants and certain
shares of Yarrow Common Stock (including shares issued upon the conversion of Yarrow Preferred Stock and shares issued in the Yarrow Pre-Closing
Financing) were converted into 25,590,346 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of VYNE Common Stock (“VYNE Pre-Funded Warrants”)
on the existing terms and conditions and outstanding options to purchase shares of Yarrow Common Stock (“Yarrow Options”)
were converted into 2,002,282 options to purchase shares of VYNE Common Stock (“VYNE Options”) on the existing terms and conditions
(including with respect to vesting and accelerated vesting).
The following unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information gives effect to the Merger, which, together with the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing, has been accounted for
as a reverse recapitalization under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
For further details related to the accounting for the Merger, please see Notes 1 and 3 below. All share amounts have been adjusted to
reflect the Exchange Ratio, unless otherwise stated.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet combines the historical balance sheets of VYNE and Yarrow as of June 30, 2026 and depicts the accounting of the transactions
prepared pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X (the “pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 for VYNE and Yarrow
and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 for VYNE and the
period from October 3, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025 for Yarrow combine the historical results of VYNE and Yarrow for
those periods and depict the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments assuming that those adjustments were made as of January 1,
2025 (the “pro forma statements of operations transaction accounting adjustments”). Collectively, the pro forma
balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments and the pro forma statements of operations transaction accounting adjustments are
referred to as the “transaction accounting adjustments” or “pro forma adjustments.”
These unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information and related notes have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:
· the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of Yarrow as of June 30, 2026 and for the six months ended June 30,
2026, and the related notes included elsewhere in the Form 8-K;
· the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VYNE for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the
related notes included in the Combined Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 13, 2026;
· the historical audited financial statements of Yarrow as of December 31, 2025 and for the period from October 3, 2025 (inception)
to December 31, 2025, and the related notes included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 filed with the
SEC, most recently amended on June 3, 2026, and declared effective on June 15, 2026 (the “proxy statement/prospectus”);
· the historical audited consolidated financial statements of VYNE for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes
included in the proxy statement/prospectus; and
· the sections titled “VYNE Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”
“Yarrow Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other financial
information relating to VYNE and Yarrow included elsewhere in the proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is based on the assumptions and pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma
adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed,
including, but not limited to, additional financing and additional direct and incremental offering costs. Adjustments have been made solely
for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary
estimates and the final accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, regulatory matters, operating efficiencies
or other savings or expenses that may be associated with the integration of the two companies. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in the future periods
or the result that actually would have been realized had VYNE and Yarrow been a combined organization during the specified periods. The
actual results reported in periods following the Merger may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited condensed combined
pro forma financial information presented herein for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences in the assumptions
used to prepare this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In particular, since VYNE has discontinued its
clinical program for VYN201 and is evaluating strategic opportunities for VYN202 while conducting an ongoing 12-week non-clinical toxicology
study of VYN202 in dogs, the future results will be different than historical results. Additionally, since Yarrow obtained the YB-101
license in mid-December 2025, future results will be materially different than the 2025 historical results as Yarrow initiated a
combined Phase 2a/Phase 2b clinical trial of YB-101 in June 2026.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. Description of the Merger
On December 17, 2025, Yarrow entered into
the Merger Agreement with VYNE, pursuant to which, among other matters, Merger Sub merged with and into Yarrow, with Yarrow surviving
as a wholly owned subsidiary of VYNE and the surviving corporation of the Merger. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement,
and in order to provide Yarrow with additional capital for its development programs prior to the Closing, certain existing investors entered
into the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which such investors purchased, immediately prior to the Merger, shares of Yarrow Common
Stock or, in lieu thereof, Yarrow Pre-Funded Warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million.
On the Closing Date, Yarrow
and VYNE completed the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with the completion of the Merger, Yarrow
changed its name from “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” to “Yarrow Bioscience Operating Company Corp.,” VYNE changed
its name to “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.” and the current business of Yarrow became the primary business of the Combined
Company.
On the Closing Date, VYNE issued an aggregate
of 2,130,731 shares of VYNE Common Stock to Yarrow stockholders (after giving effect to the 1-for-50 reverse stock split of VYNE Common
Stock in connection with the Merger), based on the Exchange Ratio, including those shares of Yarrow Common Stock issued upon the conversion
of Yarrow Preferred Stock and those shares of Yarrow Common Stock issued in the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing. In addition, the outstanding
and unexercised Yarrow Pre-Funded Warrants and certain shares of Yarrow Common Stock (including shares issued upon the conversion of Yarrow
Preferred Stock and shares issued in the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing) were converted into 25,590,346 VYNE Pre-Funded Warrants on the
existing terms and conditions and outstanding Yarrow Options were converted into 2,002,282 VYNE Options on the existing terms and conditions
(including with respect to vesting and accelerated vesting).
The following table summarizes the fully diluted
pro forma number of shares of common stock of the Combined Company outstanding following the consummation of the transactions:

the Exchange Ratio.
The employment agreements for VYNE executives
include entitlement to bonus, severance and change in control payments, and in addition to any retention payments, were treated as pre-Merger
compensation expense of VYNE and were reflected as a decrease in cash of VYNE. During 2025, VYNE’s office lease expired and VYNE
began operating on a fully remote model. As of the Closing, VYNE has terminated its clinical trial activity and is in the process of concluding
its research and development programs and any such in-process research and development assets were de minimis as of the Closing.
Additionally, VYNE’s Directors & Officers (“D&O”) policy was utilized at Closing.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended. The adjustments presented
in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information
necessary for an understanding of the Combined Company upon consummation of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement
of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2025 give effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January 1,
2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 gives effect to the Merger and combines the
historical balance sheets of VYNE and Yarrow as if the Merger had been consummated as of such date.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. Accordingly, the pro forma
adjustments are preliminary, subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed
and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences
between these preliminary accounting conclusions and estimates and the final accounting conclusions and amounts may occur, and these differences
could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the Combined Company’s
future results of operations and financial position.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, regulatory matters, operating efficiencies or
other savings or expenses that may be associated with the integration of the two companies. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in the future periods or the result
that actually would have been realized had VYNE and Yarrow been a combined organization during the specified periods. The actual results
reported in periods following the Merger may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial
information presented herein for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences in the assumptions used to prepare this
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In particular, since VYNE has discontinued its clinical program for VYN201
and is evaluating strategic opportunities for VYN202 while conducting an ongoing 12-week non-clinical toxicology study of VYN202 in dogs,
the future results will be different than historical results. Additionally, since Yarrow obtained the YB-101 license in mid-December 2025,
future results will be materially different than the 2025 historical results as Yarrow initiated a combined Phase 2a/Phase 2b
clinical trial of YB-101 in June 2026.
3. Accounting for the Merger
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information gives effect to the Merger, which is accounted for under U.S. GAAP as an in-substance reverse recapitalization of
VYNE by Yarrow, as the transaction is, in essence, the issuance of equity for VYNE’s net assets, which primarily consists of prepaids
and other current assets. Under this method of accounting, Yarrow is considered the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.
This determination is based on the fact that, immediately following the Merger:
· Yarrow was not a variable interest entity as it has sufficient equity at risk in order to fund its next development milestones;
· Yarrow stockholders owned a substantial majority of the voting rights in the Combined Company;
· Yarrow’s largest stockholder retained the largest interest in the Combined Company;
· Yarrow designated the initial members of the board of directors of the Combined Company;
· Yarrow’s executive management team and certain of VYNE’s current management team became the management of the Combined
Company; and
· The Combined Company was renamed “Yarrow Bioscience, Inc.”
In addition, while as of the Closing, VYNE is
currently conducting an ongoing 12-week non-clinical toxicology study of VYN202 in male dogs which includes a 26-week recovery period,
VYNE terminated its clinical trial activity and is in the process of concluding its research and development programs and any such in-process
research and development assets were de minimis as of the Closing. Any potential future royalties from VYNE’s out-licensed
product, Finacea foam, represented a potential passive revenue stream rather than ongoing operating activities. Formulation and use patents
for Finacea foam currently expire in 2027 and 2029, respectively, but may experience an earlier loss of exclusivity due to generic entry.
On June 11, 2026 Leo Pharma A/S informed VYNE of its decision to terminate its license agreement for Finacea foam effective as of
December 31, 2026. Accordingly, upon the Closing, VYNE had no or nominal operations for accounting purposes and the Merger is treated
as the equivalent of Yarrow issuing stock to acquire the net assets of VYNE. As a result of Yarrow being the accounting acquirer, Yarrow’s
assets and liabilities are recorded at their pre-combination carrying amounts. VYNE’s assets and liabilities are measured and recognized
at their fair values as of the effective time of the Merger, which approximate the carrying value of the acquired prepaid and other current
assets, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value
of the net assets of VYNE was reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. For periods prior to the Closing, the historical
financial statements of Yarrow are the historical financial statements of the Combined Company.
4. Shares of VYNE Common Stock, Options and Warrants Issued to Yarrow Stockholders upon the Closing.
At the Closing, all outstanding shares of Yarrow Common Stock, on a
fully-diluted basis, were exchanged for shares of VYNE Common Stock and/or VYNE Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, based on the Exchange
Ratio, determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, as follows:

5. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026
The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates
that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
Pro forma notes:
5(A) Derived from the unaudited consolidated balance
sheet of VYNE as of June 30, 2026.
5(B) Derived from the unaudited balance sheet of Yarrow

5(a) To reflect the exchange of all outstanding shares of Yarrow Preferred Stock, with a carrying amount of $99.8 million, into 20,242,911
shares of Yarrow Common Stock, prior to giving effect to the Exchange Ratio. The conversion and adjustment to the additional paid-in capital
upon the Closing is determined as follows (in thousands):

received prior to direct transaction costs from the Yarrow Pre-Closing Financing and corresponding adjustment to the additional paid-in
capital upon close of the Merger is determined as follows (in thousands):

and auditor fees, as a reduction in cash, a reduction in other assets and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. As the Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization equivalent to the issuance
of equity for the net assets, primarily prepaid assets, of VYNE, these direct and incremental costs are treated as a reduction of the
net proceeds received within additional paid-in capital.
5(d) To reflect preliminary estimated transaction costs of $3.6 million, of which $3.2 million is not yet reflected in the historical financial
statements, incurred by VYNE in connection with the Merger, such as advisory, legal and auditor fees and including the estimated $0.8
million cost of a D&O tail policy, as a reduction in cash of $3.6 million, a reduction in accrued expenses of $0.3 million, a reduction
of accounts payable of $0.1 million, and an increase in accumulated deficit of $3.2 million in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet.

primarily related to the current D&O policy of VYNE that was fully utilized at the Closing.
5(f) To reflect the one-time dividend of $17.3 million declared
and paid on the shares of VYNE Common Stock outstanding prior to the Merger. The dividend is treated as a decrease in additional paid-in
capital in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.
5(g) To reflect the liquidation of VYNE’s short-term investments interest receivable, of $0.05 million into cash prior to the Closing.
5(h) To reflect preliminary estimated incremental compensation expenses of $5.2 million related to severance and other separation benefits
in connection with the termination of certain executive officers of VYNE of $3.8 million, other employees of $0.4 million and the retention
of executives through the Closing of $1.0 million. The pro forma adjustment is reflected as a decrease in cash and an increase in accumulated
deficit of $5.2 million.
5(i) To reflect the one-time stock compensation expense of $3.7 million in general and administrative expense related to the acceleration
of VYNE Options and VYNE restricted stock units (“VYNE RSUs”) pursuant to pre-existing grant agreements, which provide for
such acceleration upon a change in control provision, which was triggered by the Merger Agreement.
5(j) To reflect the one-time cash payment of $0.023 million to settle In the Money Parent Options (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
per the terms of the Merger Agreement.
5(k) To reflect the recapitalization of Yarrow and the derecognition of the accumulated deficit of VYNE, which is reversed to additional
paid-in capital.
The derecognition of accumulated deficit of VYNE of $776.6
million is determined as follows (in thousands):

Yarrow Bioscience
Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Enrollment
ongoing in Phase 2a/2b trial evaluating YB-101, a potential first-in-class anti-TSHR antibody, in patients with Graves’ disease
(with or without TED); Phase 2a topline results expected in the second half of 2027
Closed previously announced private financings
totaling $200 million; expected to fund operations into 2028
Completed reverse merger with VYNE Therapeutics
and commenced trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “YARW”
New

(Nasdaq: YARW), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformative therapies for autoimmune thyroid diseases,
today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 and provided business updates.
“The second quarter was highly productive for Yarrow and included
the initiation of our Phase 2a/2b clinical trial of YB-101, a potential first-in-class anti-TSHR antibody that represents a highly differentiated
approach to treating both Graves’ disease and thyroid eye disease. These two diseases converge on the TSHR, a single receptor that
no approved therapy targets directly, giving Yarrow the unique opportunity to treat both conditions with a single molecule,” said
Rebecca V. Frey, PharmD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yarrow. “With the merger with VYNE Therapeutics now complete and
cash runway expected to fund operations into 2028, we're well-positioned to advance YB-101 in GD, where dosing is underway and Phase 2a
data are expected in the second half of 2027. Additionally, GenSci continues its Phase 1 MAD study in TED in China, which we expect to
inform our global TED development plans.”
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights and Upcoming Milestones
YB-101: potential first-in-class anti-TSHR antibody for GD and
TED
· The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track Designation for YB-101 in GD.
· The Company initiated the Phase 2a/2b trial of YB-101 in patients with Graves’ disease (GD), with or without concurrent thyroid
eye disease (TED).
o The Phase 2a portion of the trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial of 32 patients across four cohorts designed
to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy over 24 weeks, including the percentage of patients who
are euthyroid and off anti-thyroid drugs, as well as relevant measures of orbitopathy in patients with concurrent TED.
o Topline results from the Phase 2a portion of the trial are expected in the second half of 2027.
o The Phase 2b portion of the trial is expected to commence in the first half of 2028.
· Licensing partner, Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“GenSci”), continues to advance YB-101 (also known
as GenSci098) in greater China. Data from GenSci’s ongoing Phase 1 multiple ascending dose (MAD) trial in TED are anticipated in
the second half of 2027 and are expected to inform the Company’s global TED development plans.
