- Formation and Business of the Company
Tivic Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of California on September 22, 2016 for the purpose of developing and commercializing non-invasive bioelectronic medicine. In June 2021, the Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. The Company’s first commercial product is a handheld design that interfaces non-invasively with the trigeminal, sympathetic, and other facial and cranial nerve structures, currently marketed with FDA approval as ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief, for the treatment of sinus pain and congestion. The Company is developing a research-stage platform directed to vagus nerve stimulation, which is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and optimization. In February 2025, the Company acquired a worldwide exclusive license from Statera Biopharma, Inc. (“Statera”) to the late-stage TLR5 agonist Entolimod™ for the treatment of Acute Radiation Syndrome (“ARS”). In addition, the Company acquired an exclusive option to license five additional indications and clinical use cases for Entolimod and its optimized derivative, Entolasta. In March 2025, the Company exercised its option to license Entolimod for the treatment of neutropenia. With the introduction into the biopharma market in early 2025 through the licenses acquired from Statera, the Company is a diversified immunotherapeutics company harnessing the power of the immune and autonomic nervous systems to fight disease and restore health. The Company is headquartered in Fremont, California.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2025, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries and adjustments (including normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Going Concern Uncertainty
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of$3.4 million and$2.7 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$47.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 were$1.2 million. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of$2.7 million and$3.0 million, respectively. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including, without limitation, progress with developing, manufacturing and marketing our technologies and product candidates; the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates; the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights; our ability to execute our strategy to expand our business, including through the closing of potential acquisitions or licenses and integrating new business into our own; our ability to establish collaborative arrangements; completion of any acquisitions or other strategic transactions; marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including regulatory changes and overall economic conditions in our target markets. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our products and services through new and existing sales channels, and from customers currently identified in our pipeline as well as new customers. We also will be required to efficiently manufacture and deliver on those purchase orders. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, may require significant uses of working capital. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenue and cash as expected in our current business plan.
The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital to continue research and development and to fund its planned operations, including to execute on its strategy to expand its business, complete pre-clinical and clinical trials and, if regulatory approval is obtained, commercialize any future products. The Company may seek additional funds through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. The Company does not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, when needed. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on commercially acceptable terms, the Company’s ability to fund its operations, support the growth of its business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly delayed or limited, which could materially adversely affect its business, financial conditions, or results of operations.
Reverse Stock Split
Effective March 7, 2025, the Company implemented a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-17. As a result of the reverse stock split, the total number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder of the Company were converted automatically into the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by each such stockholder immediately prior to the reverse stock split divided by 17. The Company issuedone whole share of the post reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split (for a total of 76 shares). As a result, no fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split andno cash or other consideration was paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split. Also, all options, warrants, preferred stock and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split were adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which such options, warrants, preferred stock and other convertible securities were exercisable or convertible by 17 and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 17, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants, preferred stock and other convertible securities and subject to rounding pursuant to such terms. There was no change to the par value or authorized shares, of either the Company’s common stock or preferred stock, as a result of the reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts for the Company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding preferred stock and upon exercise of options and warrants outstanding, and conversion/exercise prices thereof, from dates prior to completion of the reverse stock split that are included in this Quarterly Report, including the financial statements and footnotes thereto included herein, have been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse stock split.
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 reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled$1.2 million and$2.0 million, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on our assessment of the collectability of accounts. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by considering the age of each outstanding invoice, each customer’s expected ability to pay, and the collection history with each customer, when applicable, to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified. As of each June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses waszero.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are reviewed periodically to identify slow-moving inventory based on anticipated sales activity. As of each June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the reserve for obsolescence was$338 thousand.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1. The Company capitalizes incremental legal, professional, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly associated with an equity or debt offering. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of deferred offering costs was $301 thousand and consisted of legal and accounting fees paid in connection with the filing of Form 1-A in August 2024, the Equity Line of Credit and the Tranched Financing, which are discussed further in Notes 11 and 10, respectively, below. If the Company consummates an equity offering, the deferred financing costs will be allocated to additional paid-in capital. If the Company consummates a debt offering, the deferred financing costs will be recorded as a discount to the debt. The costs relating to the Equity Line of Credit and the Tranched Financing are reclassified to additional paid in capital on a pro-rata basis when the Company completes offerings.
Business Combination
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, for determining the appropriate accounting treatment for asset acquisitions. ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, provides an initial fair value screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If the initial screening test is not met, the set is considered a business based on whether there are inputs and substantive processes in place. The accounting treatment is derived based on the results of this analysis and conclusion on an acquisition’s classification of a business combination or an asset acquisition.
If the acquisition is deemed to be a business, the purchase method of accounting is applied. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are recorded at fair value. If the transaction is deemed to be an asset acquisition, the cost accumulation and allocation model is used whereby the assets and liabilities are recorded based on the purchase price and allocated to the individual assets and liabilities based on relative fair values.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which isthree tofour years. Upon retirement or sale of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. When indications of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets is less than the assets’ carrying value, the related assets will be written down to fair value. There wereno impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets for the periods presented.
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The standard applies to all contracts with customers, except contracts that are within scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments.
Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are in within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inceptions, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company sells its products through direct sales and resellers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers or the resellers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Revenue associated with products holding rights of return is recognized when the Company concludes there is not a risk of significant revenue reversal in the future periods for the expected consideration in the transaction.
The Company may receive payments at the onset of the contract and before goods have been delivered. In such instances, the Company records a deferred revenue liability. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as revenue after the revenue criteria are met. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the contract liability related to the Company’s deferred revenues waszero and $2 thousand, respectively, and is included in “Other Accrued Expenses” on the accompanying balance sheets.
The Company relies on third parties to have procedures in place to detect and prevent credit card fraud, as the Company has exposure to losses from fraudulent charges. The Company records the losses related to chargebacks as incurred.
The Company has also elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price sales taxes remitted to governmental authorities.
The table below presents revenue by channel for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product Revenue by Sales Channel | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Product Revenue | ||||
| Direct-to-consumer | $94 | $126 | $140 | $427 |
| Reseller | — | 32 | 24 | 94 |
| Returns | (8) | (18) | (8) | (47) |
| Revenue | $86 | $140 | $156 | $474 |
Sales Tax
Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities is accounted for on a net basis and therefore, is excluded from net sales.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling fees paid by customers are recorded in revenue, with the related expenses recorded in cost of sales. Shipping and handling fees paid by customers for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 were $1 thousand. There wereno shipping and handling fees paid by customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Shipping costs for delivery of product to customers in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $5 thousand and $8 thousand, respectively. Shipping costs for delivery of product to customers in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $6 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively.
Product Warranty
The Company generally offers aone-year limited warranty on its products. The Company also offers for sale a limitedtwo-year warranty. The limited two-year warranty is occasionally provided to customers in connection with promotional sales. The Company estimates the costs associated with the warranty obligation using historical data of warranty claims and costs incurred to satisfy those claims. Estimated warranty costs are expensed to cost of sales.
Returns
The Company estimates a reserve for future product returns based on several factors, including historical returns as a percentage of revenue, an understanding of the reasons for past returns and any other known factors that indicate a return is imminent. Reserves for sales returns are estimated and recorded in the same period as the underlying revenue recognition as a deduction to arrive at net product sales and as a liability classified as “Other Accrued Expenses” on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the reserve for sales returns was $7 thousand and $10 thousand, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation, and general support services. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred unless there is an alternative future use.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of personnel costs, merchandising, customer service and targeted online marketing costs, such as display advertising, keyword search campaigns, search engine optimization and social media and offline marketing costs such as television, radio and print advertising. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, sales and marketing expenses also include personnel and consulting expenses incurred to secure customer awareness of Entolimod’s development. Advertising and other promotional costs to market the Company’s products and services amounted to $111 thousand and $131 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Advertising and other promotional costs to market the Company’s products and services were $71 thousand and $321 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and non-employee consultants using a fair value method, which requires the recognition of compensation expense for costs related to all stock-based payments, including stock options. The fair value method requires the Company to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards to employees and non-employees on the date of grant using an option pricing model.
Stock-based compensation costs are based on the fair value of the underlying option calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company measures equity-based compensation awards granted to non-employees at fair value as the awards vest and recognizes the resulting value as compensation expense at each financial reporting period.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, expected dividend yield, expected term, risk-free rate of return, and the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock. Due to the lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, the Company has based its estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a group of similar publicly traded companies. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. The group of representative companies have characteristics similar to the Company, including stage of product development and focus on the life science industry. Changes to the group are made on an as needed basis to ensure it remains representative of the Company. The Company uses the simplified method, which is the average of the final vesting tranche date and the contractual term, to calculate the expected term for options granted to employees as it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company uses an assumed dividend yield ofzero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on its common stock. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the Company’s operations and manages its business as asingle operating segment.
Net Loss per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted to add back dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared) applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive contingent shares, which primarily consist of stock options issued to employees, directors and consultants, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), warrants issued to third parties, all of which are accounted for as equity instruments, would be excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect is anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities such as our preferred stock. Under the two-class method, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the basic and diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic net income per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options, RSUs and warrants.
The treasury stock method is used to calculate the potentially dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs. The if-converted method is used to calculate the potentially dilutive effect of shares of the Series A and B Preferred Stock. In both methods, diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are adjusted to account for the impact of the assumed issuance of potential shares of common stock that are dilutive, subject to dilution sequencing rules.
At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had options to purchase 12,868 and 3,214 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively,79,415 andzero restricted stock units outstanding, respectively, and warrants to purchase 501,462 and 707,234 shares of common stock, respectively, that are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods that shares of Series A and B Preferred Stock were outstanding.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents include a checking account and a money market account held at a single national financial institution in the United States. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution at which the Company holds its deposits is financially sound, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to the financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balances exceeding FDIC insured limits by $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business and performs credit evaluations of its customers. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the financial statements.
During the first half of 2025, the majority, or 81%, of the Company’s sales were to individual customers. In the first half of 2024, the majority, or 81%, of the Company’s sales were to individual consumers. As of June 30, 2025, the Company hadno customer whose accounts receivable balance totaled 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable compared withone such customer at December 31, 2024 (95%).
For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company hadone customer who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue (23% and 13%, respectively). For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company hadone customer who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue (23% and 13%, respectively).
The ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and Hamas, and certain other macroeconomic factors including tariffs, inflation and rising interest rates, have contributed to economic uncertainty. Additionally, events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Furthermore, it is possible that U.S. policy changes, including planned or proposed budget cuts at the federal government level, could increase market volatility in the coming months. These factors, amongst other things, could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term, and could negatively affect our operations. We will continue to monitor material impacts on our business strategies and operating results.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)-Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance applies to all public business entities and becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires improved disclosures about expenses, including the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development), which will allow investors to better understand the components of an entity’s expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to further clarify the effective date as the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not believe that ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on its financial reporting.
Management does not believe any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
- Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist of money market funds. The following tables show the Company’s cash equivalents carrying value and fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Cash equivalents – Cash equivalents of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2024, consisted of money market funds. Money market funds are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
There have been no changes to the valuation methodologies utilized by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company evaluates transfers between levels at the end of each reporting period. There wereno transfers of financial instruments between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

On February 11, 2025, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Statera, pursuant to which the Company acquired (i) an exclusive worldwide license to the patented Toll-like Receptor 5 (“TLR5”) agonist lead program of Statera known as Entolimod (the “Licensed Molecules”) as it relates to the ARS indication (the “Initial Indication”) and (ii) an exclusive option (the “Exclusive Option”) to acquire the exclusive worldwide license to additional indications, including lymphocyte exhaustion, immunosenescence, neutropenia and/or for use as a vaccine adjuvant (the “Subsequent Indications”) and to the optimized TLR5 agonist follow-on program of Statera known as Entolasta.
Under the terms of the License Agreement, Statera granted the Company an exclusive worldwide license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, under Statera’s patents, trademarks, know-how and other intellectual property, to develop, test, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise exploit the product Entolimod as it relates to the Initial Indication during the term of the License Agreement.
As consideration for the License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Statera a license fee of $1.5 million, consisting of (i) $300 thousand in cash consideration and (ii) $1.2 million in stock consideration, as discussed further in Notes 9 and 10 below. As additional considerationfor the License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Statera certain royalty payments on net sales for the ARS indication as a single agent, and, if it exercises the Exclusive Option with respect to any Subsequent Indication, net sales for such Subsequent Indications, within certain royalty periods.
The License Agreement further provides the Company with the Exclusive Option to expand the Initial Indications to include the treatment of the Subsequent Indications or to expand the use from a single agent to include uses as vaccine adjuvant, or several or all of them, at any time during the term of the License Agreement, and on one or more occasions, at its discretion. As part of exercise of the Exclusive Option, the license grant would be expanded to include uses of Entolasta, in addition to Entolimod, both for ARS and for the Subsequent Indications for which the Company has exercised its Exclusive Option.
In conjunction with the License Agreement, Statera additionally transferred to the Company the title to approximately fifteen kilograms (15kg) of frozen manufactured Entolimod bulk drug substance and bulk/finished drug product lots and associated quality records associated with their production and applicable verification records (the “Materials”). In connection with this acquisition of ownership of the Materials, the Company will be negotiating a $1 per year lease with an affiliate of Statera for the proper care, storage and handling of the Materials. The Company determined that the fair value associated with the Entolimod lots and associated lease was not material to the transaction.
The License Agreement also includes a buyout provision (the “Buyout”) by which the Company maintains the right to acquire from Statera at any time all right, title and interest in and to all technology licensed or otherwise subject to the Exclusive Option under the License Agreement. Should the Company elect to invoke this buyout right, it must provide Statera with a buyout payment equal to (a) the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of payments due to Statera for achievement of all milestone events (described below), less the amount of payments paid for the achievement of one or more of such milestone events, and (ii) an amount negotiated in good faith and mutually agreed by the parties in writing as representing the risk adjusted net present value of the aggregate royalties that would have been payable absent such exercise; less (b) the amount of payments paid or payable by the Company to extinguish an existing lien on the licensed technology.
The Company makes certain judgments to determine whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or as business combinations. If it is determined that substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired in a transaction is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets), the transaction is treated as an acquisition of assets. The Company evaluates the inputs, processes, and outputs associated with the acquired set of activities and assets. If the assets in a transaction include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the transaction is treated as an acquisition of a business. The Company’s assessments concluded that the transactions pursuant to the License Agreement constitute an asset acquisition.
The Company determined the acquisition constituted an acquisition of assets instead of a business combination, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets, and therefore, the acquisition was not considered a business combination. In transactions accounted for as acquisitions of assets, no goodwill is recorded and contingent consideration, such as payments upon achievement of various developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones, generally is not recognized at the acquisition date. In an asset acquisition, up front payments allocated to in-process research and development (“IPRD”)projects at the acquisition date are expensed unless there is an alternative future use. In addition, product development milestones are expensed upon achievement. As the Company is recording the transaction as an asset acquisition under ASC 805, the contingent payments will be recognized upon achievement and at that time will be expensed to in-process research and development, or capitalized, dependingon the determination if there is alternative future use of the purchase. Transaction costs of approximately $243 thousand associated with the acquisition were capitalized as part of the acquisition.
The License Agreement obligates the Company to develop and commercialize the licensed products, at its own cost and expense, inclusive of licensed products with respect to any Subsequent Indications obtained upon exercise of an Exclusive Option. In the development and commercialization process, the Company is obligated to meet certain milestones, and must provide Statera with certain milestone payments, payable in either the form of cash or Company stock (at the sole discretion of the Company), upon accomplishing each milestone as outlined below.
| Event | Payment |
|---|---|
| Validation of current inventory of Materials for distribution and sales | $750,000 |
| Filing of BLA with FDA for Acute Radiation Syndrome | 1,000,000 |
| Total Acute Radiation Syndrome Development Milestones | $1,750,000 |
Upon exercise of an Exclusive Option with respect to one or more Subsequent Indications, the following corresponding applicable milestones and milestone payments (all milestone payments, collectively, the “Milestone Payments”), payable in in either the cash or Company stock (at the sole discretion of the Company), become obligations of the Company as well:
| Event | Payment |
|---|---|
| File IND and Initiate Phase 2 Clinical Study for Neutropenia | $500,000 |
| Phase III Completion - successfully meets endpoint required to secure FDA approval for treatment of Neutropenia | 750,000 |
| File BLA with FDA and achieve FDA Approval for Neutropenia | 1,500,000 |
| File IND and Initiate Phase 2 study of Lymphocyte Exhaustion | 500,000 |
| Phase III Completion - successfully meets endpoint required by FDA for treatment of Lymphocye Exhaustion | 750,000 |
| File BLA with FDA and achieve FDA Approval for Lymphocyte Exhaustion | 1,500,000 |
| IND approval and initiation of Phase 3 study as a Vaccine Adjuvant | 500,000 |
| File US BLA with FDA and achieve FDA Approval for use as a Vaccine Adjuvant | 500,000 |
| Total Potential Development Milestones for additional Indications (as applicable) | $6,500,000 |
Pursuant to the License Agreement, in the event that the Company exercises its Exclusive Option with respect to one or more Subsequent Indications, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to accelerate any of the Milestone Payments in advance of the milestone achievements.
On March 28, 2025, the Company notified Statera of its election to exercise its Exclusive Option to acquire the exclusive worldwide license to the neutropenia indication for Entolimod under the License Agreement (the “Neutropenia Option”) and to accelerate the first milestone payment of $500 thousand related to the neutropenia indication (the “Neutropenia Milestone Payment”), payable by the Company in connection with the filing of an IND and initiation of a Phase 2 clinical study for neutropenia. The Company paid the $500 thousand Neutropenia Milestone Payment paid in Company stock, as discussed further in Notes 9 and 10 below, and was capitalized as licensed technology.
As a result of the Company’s exercise of the Neutropenia Option, the Company is obligated to develop and commercialize the expanded licensed products related to the neutropenia indication, at its own cost and expense, including to meet those milestones discussed above, and is obligated to pay the milestone payments, other than the Neutropenia Option, upon accomplishing each such milestone.
On June 18, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement (the “A&R License Agreement”) with Statera, which amended certain terms of the License Agreement to, amongst other things, (i) provide that the payment of royalties pursuant to the A&R License Agreement, if any, may be made by the Company in either cash or securities of the Company, at the discretion of the Company; (ii) increase the approximate amount of the lien held by Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“Avenue”) to up to $5.6 Million (the “Payoff Amount”); and (iii) provide that, other than the original license fee paid by the Company to Statera in connection with the closing of the license transaction in February 2025 and payment of the Neutropenia Milestone Payment, until such date that the Payoff Amount has been paid in full to Avenue, all subsequent payments due to Statera under the A&R License Agreement shall be paid by the Company as follows:20% of any such payments shall be paid to Statera and 80% of any such payments shall be paid directly to Avenue on behalf of Statera.

In the event that Warrants issued to the Investor in a subsequent Tranche Closing have a lower exercise price than the Investor’s Warrants outstanding as of such later Tranche Closing, immediately after the Tranche Closing the exercise price of all outstanding Warrants held by the Investor shall automatically be reduced to equal such lower exercise price of the Warrants issued in such Tranche Closing.
In the event that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the prior three trading days preceding a Tranche Closing date shall not be equal to or greater than the Floor Price (as defined below), then the applicable Tranche Closing shall be delayed until such time as the price meets the required threshold for a period offive consecutive trading days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor has the ability, subject to prior written consent of the Company, to purchase any number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock prior to the dates of the Tranche Closings provided for in the Preferred Purchase Agreement.

Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, for so long as the Investor holds any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Warrants, or shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants, the Investor shall have the right to participate in any subsequent financing for up to 20% of such financing. Moreover, for so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, subject to certain exceptions, the Investor shall have the right to require the Company to use 25% of the proceeds received by the Company from any future financing to redeem any shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation.
The Preferred Purchase Agreement contains customary termination provisions for the Investor under certain limited circumstances and the Preferred Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate if any Tranche Closing has not occurred prior to December 31, 2025.
Craft Capital Management LLC (“Craft”) acted as placement agent to the Company in connection with the Tranched Financing. As consideration for services rendered by Craft, the Company shall (i) pay Craft a cash fee equal to eight percent (8%) of any such funds received by the Company from the Investor pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement and(ii) issue to Craft that number of warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal in value to six percent (6%) of any such funds received by the Company from the Investor pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement.
On June 25, 2025, the Company and the Investor held the initial Tranche Closing, pursuant to which the Company received gross proceeds of $700 thousand pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement and issued 700 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Investor. In addition to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company issued to the Investor Warrants to purchase 61,287 shares of Company common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.85 per share.

Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses paid by the Company, were $585 thousand. The net proceeds were allocated between the Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants issued in the offering based on the relative fair values, which were $455 thousand and $130 thousand, respectively.

- Net Loss per Share
The Company applies the two-class method pursuant to the issuance of our Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company’s basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is equal to the Company’s net loss.
The calculation of basic earnings per share requires an allocation of earnings to all securities that participate in dividends with shares of common stock to the extent that each security may share in the Company’s earnings. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing undistributed earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class or if-converted methods. The two-class method uses net income available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The if-converted method uses net income and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. For the periods where a net loss attributable to common stockholders is present, dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as including them would have been anti-dilutive.
