Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, referred to as “we,” us,” “our,” “Revelation,” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage life science company that is focused on rebalancing inflammation to optimize health using its proprietary formulation Gemini. We have multiple ongoing programs to evaluate Gemini, including GEM-AKI as a prevention for acute kidney injury (“AKI”), GEM-CKD as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (“CKD”), and GEM-PSI as a prevention for post surgical infection (“PSI”) (together the “Product Candidates”). The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 20, 2019 (originally as Petra Acquisition, Inc.) and is based in San Diego, California.
The Company’s common stock and public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “REVB” and “REVBW”, respectively.
Reverse Stock Split
On January 28, 2025, the Company effected the approved 1-for-16 reverse stock split of our shares of common stock. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, the share and per share information that follows in this Quarterly Report, reflects the effect of the reverse stock split.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern
The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including a net loss of$2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$42.6 million, a stockholders’ equity of$2.9 million and available cash and cash equivalents of$3.7 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses, as well as negative cash flows from operations, for the foreseeable future as it continues to complete all necessary product development or future commercialization efforts. The Company has never generated revenue and does not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for Product Candidates or other product candidates, which the Company expects will not be for at least several years, if ever. The Company does not anticipate that its current cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to sustain operations within one-year after the date that the Company’s unaudited financial statements for March 31, 2025 were issued, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
To continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, to raise additional capital resources. The Company plans to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, it could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect the Company’s business operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2025, have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Revelation Biosciences, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entity have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position. The financial data and the other financial information contained in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three months ended March 31, 2025 are unaudited. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited balance sheet at December 31, 2024 contained in the above referenced Form 10-K.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Selected significant accounting policies are discussed in further detail below:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical and industry experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In net loss periods, basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are identical because the otherwise dilutive potential common shares become anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 1,692,919 and 1,904 potential shares of common stock excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive, respectively. The basic weighted-average shares used to compute net loss per share in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations includes 3 shares underlying Rollover RSU’s that have vested but are unissued and 125,000 shares underlying the outstanding Class F Common Stock Warrants as exercised via the alternative cashless exercise because their exercise requires only nominal consideration for delivery of the shares.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe any will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related financial statement disclosures.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

Vesting periods and other restrictions for grants under the 2021 Plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Grants to employees, officers, directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company typically vest immediately or within four years. In addition, the number of shares of stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be automatically increased each January 1 by 10% of the aggregate number of fully diluted shares of our common stock from the first day of the preceding calendar year to the first day of the current calendar year or such lesser number as determined by our board of directors.
On January 1, 2025, the number of shares of common stock available under the 2021 Plan increased to 156,512 as per the Evergreen Feature in the 2021 Plan.
