When the 2024 Reverse Stock Split became effective, every 40 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined, converted and changed into 1 share the Company’s common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares or the par value per share. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans. Any fraction of a share of common stock created as a result of the 2024 Reverse Stock Split was rounded up to the next whole share. The Company issued 958 shares of common stock in connection with rounding up to the next whole share. Holders of the Company’s common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the 2024 Reverse Stock Split.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history and is in the very early stages of generating revenue from intended operations. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: changes in the biotechnology regulatory environment, technological advances that render our technologies obsolete, availability of resources for clinical trials, acceptance of technologies into the medical community, and competition from larger, more well-funded companies. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.
Nasdaq Notification Letter
On October 3, 2024, the Company was notified (the “October Notification Letter”) by Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock between August 20, 2024 and October 1, 2024, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. The Notification Letter had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market and, at this time, the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ADTX.”
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN ANALYSIS
Management Plans
The Company was incorporated on September 28, 2017 and has not generated significant revenues to date. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $35,020,058 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $16,762,121. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was $833,031.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company was subject to the offering limits in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 (the “Baby Shelf Limitation”). Thus, the maximum amount of securities that the Company could offer and sell under its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 as of December 31, 2024 was approximately $1.8 million. Upon the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K on April 16, 2024, the Company’s aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates was below $3.0 million. As a result, the maximum amount that the Company can sell under its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 during any 12 month period is equal to one-third of the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates of the Company.
On November 21, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the Public Float Rule. On December 29, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule but will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year. See Risk Factors and Note 12 for additional details regarding Nasdaq compliance.
If we are delisted from Nasdaq, but obtain a substitute listing for our common stock, it will likely be on a market with less liquidity, and therefore experience potentially more price volatility than experienced on Nasdaq. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of common stock on any such substitute market in the quantities, at the times, or at the prices that could potentially be available on a more liquid trading market. As a result of these factors, if our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the value and liquidity of our common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants would likely be significantly adversely affected. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and/or result in a loss of confidence by investors, employees and/or business partners.
The Company continues to actively pursue numerous capital raising transactions with the objective of obtaining sufficient bridge funding to meet the Company’s existing capital needs as well as more substantial capital raises to meet the Company’s longer-term needs.
In addition, factors such as stock price, volatility, trading volume, market conditions, demand and regulatory requirements may adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise capital in an efficient manner. Because of these factors, the Company believes that this creates substantial doubt with the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition to the shelf registration, the Company has the ability to raise capital from equity or debt through private placements or public offerings pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1. We may also secure loans from related parties.
The financial statements included in this report do 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 matters discussed herein. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to complete clinical studies and implement the business plan, generate sufficient revenues and to control operating expenses. In addition, the Company is consistently focused on raising capital, strategic acquisitions and alliances, and other initiatives to strengthen the Company.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aditxt, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and, one majority owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the course of preparing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified a misstatement in the prior year financial statements. This misstatement related to the reporting an incorrect amount on the Company’s cashflow statement for the year ended December 31, 2023. The amortization of debt discount was revised from $2,821,629 to $2,194,773 and the proceeds from note payable, net of issuance costs was revised from $7,903,445 to $8,530,301.
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 revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates underlying the financial statements include the value of preferred shares issued and related derivative liability, our investment in Evofem preferred stock and the fair value of stock options and warrants.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. |
|---|
| Level 2 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
|---|
| Level 3 - | Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
|---|
Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates. (See Note 9)
The following table provides a summary of financial instruments that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2024.
| Carrying · Fair Value Measurement Using | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Derivative liability | $14,517 | — | $14,517 | — | $14,517 |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash accounts at financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the Company may have deposits in excess of federally insured limits.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant concentrations of credit risk on its cash balances on amounts in excess of federally insured limits due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held.
Substantially all the Company’s accounts receivable are with companies in the healthcare industry, individuals, and the U.S. government. However, concentration of credit risk is mitigated due to the Company’s number of customers. In addition, for receivables due from U.S. government agencies, the Company does not believe the receivables represent a credit risk as these are related to healthcare programs funded by the U.S. government and payment is primarily dependent upon submitting the appropriate documentation.
Cash
Cash includes short-term, liquid investments.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, gross accounts receivable was $47,435 and $408,326, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $78,147 andzero, respectively. Accounts receivable is made up of billed and unbilled of $120,296 and $1,286 as of December 31, 2024 and $236,605 and $171,721 as of December 31, 2023, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of laboratory materials and supplies used in laboratory analysis. We capitalize inventory when purchased. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. We periodically perform obsolescence assessments and write off any inventory that is no longer usable.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures for furniture, office equipment, laboratory equipment, and other assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. The costs of fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease life of the related assets.
Useful lives assigned to fixed assets are as follows:
| Computers | Three years to five years |
|---|---|
| Lab Equipment | Seven to ten years |
| Office Furniture | Five to ten years |
| Other fixed assets | Five to ten years |
| Leasehold Improvements | Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining lease term |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment.
Securities Purchase Agreement – Evofem Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the Initial Parent Equity Investment (as defined under the Merger Agreement) and entered into a Securities Purchase (the “Series F-1 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Evofem, pursuant to which the Company purchased 500 shares of Evofem’s Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Evofem F-1 Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. In connection with the Series F-1 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Evofem entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Evofem F-1 Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Evofem agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of its common stock issuable upon conversion of the Evofem Series F-1 Preferred Stock within 300 days of the Closing Date and to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC the earlier of the(i) 90th calendar day after the Closing Date and (ii) 2nd Business Day after the date Evofem is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company is also obligated to purchase: (i) an additional 500 shares of Evofem Series F-1 Preferred Stock for an additional aggregate purchase price of $500,000 on or prior to August 9, 2024; (ii) an additional 2,000 shares of Evofem Series F-1 Preferred Stock for an additional purchase price of $2 million on the earlier of August 30, 2024 or 5 business days of the closing of a public offering by the Company resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of no less than $20 million; and (iii) an additional 1,000 shares of Evofem Series F-1 Preferred Stock for an additional purchase price of $1 million on or prior to September 30, 2024.
On October 28, 2024, Aditxt entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series F-1 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Evofem, pursuant to which the Company purchased the Fourth Parent Equity Investment of 2,280 shares of Evofem Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,280,000.
Investments
The Evofem investment is included in its own line item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Under ASC 321 the Company accounts for equity investments at fair value. If fair value is not readily determinable or marketable, the Company values at cost less impairment.
Non-marketable equity investments (for which we do not have significant influence or control) are investments without readily determinable fair values that are recorded based on initial cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar securities, if any. All gains and losses on investments in non-marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in investment and other income (expense), net.
We monitor equity method and non-marketable equity investments for events or circumstances that could indicate the investments are impaired, such as a deterioration in the investee’s financial condition and business forecasts and lower valuations in recently completed or anticipated financings, and recognize a charge to investment and other income (expense), net for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. For equity method investments, we record impairment losses in earnings only when impairments are considered other-than-temporary.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in equity investments. This investment has been recorded at cost in accordance with ASC 321.
| As of December 31, 2023 | $22,277,211 |
|---|---|
| Deposit on acquisition | 5,000,000 |
| Impairment | - |
| As of December 31, 2024 | $27,277,211 |
The investment in Evofem has been impaired $0 to date.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews and evaluates the net carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually, or upon the occurrence of other events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Per ASC 360-10-35-21, a long-lived asset (asset group) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Per ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accounts payable and accrued expenses was comprised of:
| For the Year ended December 31, 2024 | For the Year ended December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts payable | $10,192,373 | $7,523,658 |
| Accrued wages | 1,130,181 | 590,734 |
| Accrued interest | 1,889,527 | 387,692 |
| Other | 158 | 52,875 |
| Total accounts payable and accrued expenses | $13,212,239 | $8,554,959 |
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its options, warrants, other equity instruments, and other contracts, if any, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-10-05-4 and 815-40-25. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or cancellation of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion, exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company has determined that a derivative feature exists on its shares of 22,071 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock,2,689 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and 2,625 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Offering Costs
Offering costs incurred in connection with equity are recorded as a reduction of equity and offering costs incurred in connection with debt are recorded as a reduction of debt as a debt discount. Equity instruments issued as offering costs have zero net effect on the Company’s equity.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606 (Revenue From Contracts with Customers), revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| 3) | Determine the transaction price |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
Revenues reported from services relating to the AditxtScore™ are recognized when the AditxtScore TMreport is delivered to the customer. The services performed include the analysis of specimens received in the Company’s CLIA laboratory and the generation of results which are then delivered upon completion.
The Company recognizes revenue in the following manner for the following types of customers:
Client Payers:
Client payers include physicians or other entities for which services are billed based on negotiated fee schedules. The Company principally estimates the allowance for credit losses for client payers based on historical collection experience and the period of time the receivable has been outstanding.
Cash Pay:
Customers are billed based on established patient fee schedules or fees negotiated with physicians on behalf of their patients. Collection of billings is subject to credit risk and the ability of the patients to pay.
Insurance:
Reimbursements from healthcare insurers are based on fee for service schedules. Net revenues recognized consist of amounts billed net of contractual allowances for differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration the Company expects to receive from such payers, collection experience, and the terms of the Company’s contractual arrangements.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or implicitly contains a lease as well as if the lease is classified as an operating or finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842), at inception based on the lease definition. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date or the adoption date for existing leases based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using an estimated discount rate.
Under Topic 842 (Leases), operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The Company has operating leases consisting of office space, laboratory space, and lab equipment.
We have made a policy election regarding our real estate leases not to separate nonlease components from lease components, to the extent they are fixed. Nonlease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense. Our leases for laboratory and office facilities typically include variable nonlease components, such as common-area maintenance costs. We have also elected not to record on the consolidated balance sheets a lease that has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not contain a purchase option that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We combine the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right of use (“ROU”) assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.
Patents
The Company incurs fees from patent licenses, which are reflected in research and development expenses, and are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred patent licensing fees of $61,913 and $123,541, respectively.
Research and Development
We incur research and development costs during the process of researching and developing our technologies and future offerings. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs qualify for capitalization under applicable guidance. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred research and development costs of $10,886,130 and $7,074,339, respectively.
Sales and Marketing
We incur sales and marketing costs marketing our technologies. We expense these costs as incurred unless such costs qualify for capitalization under applicable guidance. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred sales and marketing costs of $197,863 and $269,284, respectively.
Non-controlling Interest in Subsidiary
Non-controlling interests represent the Company’s subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations and changes in deficit attributable to non-controlling shareholders. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $573,572 and $9,608 in net loss attributable to non-controlling interest in Pearsanta. The Company owns approximately 90.2% of Pearsanta, Inc., as of December 31, 2024.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable of common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8 – LEASES
Our lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. We used the incremental borrowing rate on December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for all leases that commenced prior to that date. In determining this rate, which is used to determine the present value of future lease payments, we estimate the rate of interest we would pay on a collateralized basis, with similar payment terms as the lease and in a similar economic environment.
Our corporate headquarters is located in Mountain View, California where we lease approximately 5,810 square feet of laboratory and office space. The lease expired in August 31, 2024, subject to extension. As of September 1, 2024, the lease became month to month. As of December 31, 2024 the Company is 7.3 months in arrears on this lease.
We also lease approximately 25,000 square feet in Richmond, Virginia. The lease expires on August 31, 2026, subject to extension. As of December 31, 2024 the Company is 6 months in arrears on this lease.

On March 6, 2024, the Company received correspondence from 532 Realty Associates, LLC (the “Landlord”) that the Company is in default under that certain Agreement of Lease dated November 3, 2021 by and between the Landlord and the Company (the “New York Lease”) for failure to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent (as each term is defined in the New York Lease) in the aggregate amount of $40,707 (the “Past Due Rent”). On June 24, 2024 the Company and the Landlord entered into a surrender and acceptance of lease agreement (the “Surrender Agreement”). Pursuant to the Surrender Agreement, the Company surrendered to the landlord the lease and term of the estate on June 28, 2024. In consideration of the acceptance by the Landlord, the Company agreed to pay $69,379 (the “Surrender Fee”), which reflected outstanding rent, utilities, and other charges owed under the lease. Further, upon execution of the agreement, the Landlord released and retained the security deposit of $25,515. The balance of the Surrender fee, $43,864, was paid in 2024.
The overdue amounts represent a payable of $971,462 which are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
LS Biotech Eight Default
On May 10, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “2024 Default Notice”) from LS Biotech Eight, LLC (the “Landlord”), the Landlord of the Company’s CLIA-certified, CAP accredited, high complexity immune monitoring center in Richmond, Virginia, that the Company was in violation of its obligation to (i) pay Base Rent (as defined in the Lease) and Additional Rent (as defined in the Lease) in the amount of $431,182 in the aggregate, together with administrative charges and interest, as well as (ii) replenish the Security Deposit (as defined in the Lease) in the amount of $159,375, all as required under that certain Lease Agreement dated as of May 4, 2021 by and between the Landlord and the Company (the “Lease”).

Equity Line of Credit
On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”) with an equity line investor (the “ELOC Investor”), pursuant to which the ELOC Investor has agreed to purchase from the Company, at the Company’s direction from time to time, in its sole discretion, from and after the date effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below) and until the termination of the ELOC Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, shares of the Company’s common stock having a total maximum aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000 (the “ELOC Purchase Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “ELOC Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the ELOC Investor pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Statement”) by the later of (i) the 30th calendar day following the closing date, and (ii) the second business day following Stockholder Approval (defined below).
The Company may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, direct the ELOC Investor to purchase shares of its common stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement at a purchase price per share based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of sale as computed under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. There is no upper limit on the price per share that the ELOC Investor could be obligated to pay for common stock under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of its common stock to the ELOC Investor, and the ELOC Investor has no right to require us to sell any shares to it under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Actual sales of shares of common stock to the ELOC Investor under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of its common stock and determinations by the Company as to available and appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. The ELOC Investor may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
Under the applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may the Company issue to the ELOC Investor under the ELOC Purchase Agreement more than 34 shares of common stock, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the shares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the ELOC Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (“Stockholder Approval”), or (ii) the average price per share paid by the Investor for all of the shares of common stock that the Company directs the ELOC Investor to purchase from the Company pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, equals or exceeds the official closing sale price on the Nasdaq Capital Market immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable purchase notice to the Investor and (B) the average of the closing sale prices of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital market for the five business days immediately preceding the delivery of such purchase notice.
In all cases, the Company may not issue or sell any shares of common stock to the ELOC Investor under the ELOC Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company’s common stock then beneficially owned by the ELOC Investor and its affiliates, would result in the ELOC Investor beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
The net proceeds under the ELOC Purchase Agreement to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its stock to the ELOC Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received by it from such sales to the Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As consideration for the ELOC Investor’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company shall pay the Investor a commitment fee of 225 shares as outlined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, which is payable on the later of (i) January 2, 2025 and (ii) the trading day following the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained.
The ELOC Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the ELOC Investor, limitations and conditions regarding sales of ELOC Purchase Shares, indemnification rights and other obligations of the parties.
There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the ELOC Purchase Agreement other than a prohibition (with certain limited exceptions) on entering into a dilutive securities transaction during certain periods when the Company is selling common stock to the ELOC Investor under the Purchase Agreement. The ELOC Investor has agreed that it will not engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own account or for the account of any of its affiliates, any short sales of the Company’s common stock or hedging transaction that establishes a net short position in the Company’s common stock during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The Company has the right to terminate the ELOC Purchase Agreement at any time after the Commencement Date (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement), at no cost or penalty, upon three trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor. The Company and the ELOC Investor may also agree to terminate the ELOC Purchase Agreement by mutual written consent, provided that no termination of the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be effective during the pendency of any purchase that has not then fully settled in accordance with the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Neither the Company nor the ELOC Investor may assign or transfer the Company’s respective rights and obligations under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The Company obtained Stockholder Approval at its Annual Meeting on August 7, 2024. The registration statement covering the ELOC shares was declared effective by the SEC on September 13, 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 93,595 shares at an average price of $160.42 per share under the ELOC. The sales generated net proceeds of $14,989,558 after paying commissions and related fees. (Note 12)

Warrants
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the fair value of each warrant granted was estimated using the assumption and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows:
| Exercise price | $52,300 |
|---|---|
| Expected dividend yield | 0% |
| Risk free interest rate | 3.97% |
| Expected life in years | 5.0 |
| Expected volatility | 219% |
The risk-free interest rate assumption for warrants granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States Government Bond Equivalent Yield appropriate for the expected term of warrants.
The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for warrants granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future warrant grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.
The dividend yield assumption for warrants granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company recognizes warrant forfeitures as they occur, as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record a current or deferred income tax expense or benefit due to current and historical losses incurred by the Company. The Company’s losses before income taxes consist solely of losses from domestic operations.
A reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income taxes as reflected in the financial statements is as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Income taxes at U.S. statutory rate | 21% | 21% |
| State income taxes | 1.1 | 0.8 |
| Tax Credits | 0.3 | 0.5 |
| Permanent Differences/Others | 1.3 | (1.9) |
| Change in valuation allowance | (23.7) | (20.5) |
| Total provision for income taxes | 0% | 0% |
Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are comprised of the following:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Deferred tax assets | ||
| Net operating loss carryforwards | $24,721,951 | $18,555,428 |
| Tax credits carryforwards | 752,472 | 796,320 |
| Stock-based compensation | 1,584,379 | 1,580,038 |
| Lease liability | 270,506 | 486,473 |
| Section 174 Capitalization | 4,158,082 | 2,207,611 |
| Loss on impairment of debt | 3,319,905 | 3,326,129 |
| Other | 150,464 | 92,704 |
| Total deferred tax assets | 34,957,759 | 27,044,703 |
| Valuation allowance | (34,559,893) | (26,414,533) |
| Net deferred tax assets | 397,866 | 630,170 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | ||
| Right of use assets | (250,710) | (486,473) |
| Fixed assets | (147,156) | (143,697) |
| Total deferred tax liabilities | (397,866) | (630,170) |
| Net deferred taxes | $— | $— |
The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses in the United States, estimated future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against these net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. The Company’s valuation allowance increased during 2024 by approximately $8.1 million primarily due to the generation of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and the capitalization of research and experimental expenditures. The Company’s valuation allowance increased during 2023 by approximately $6.2 million primarily due to the generation of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and the capitalization of research and experimental expenditures.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $99.9 million and $75.2 million, respectively, which may be available to offset future income tax liabilities. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“ TCJA”) will generally allow losses incurred after 2017 to be carried over indefinitely, but will generally limit the net operating loss deduction to the lesser of the net operating loss carryover or 80% of a corporation’s taxable income (subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Also, there will be no carryback for losses incurred after 2017. Losses incurred prior to 2018 will generally be deductible to the extent of the lesser of a corporation’s net operating loss carryover or 100% of a corporation’s taxable income and be available for twenty years from the period the loss was generated. The Company has federal net operating losses generated following 2017 of $99.8 million, which do not expire. The federal net operating losses generated prior to 2018 of $0.1 million will expire at various dates through 2037. The CARES Act temporarily allows the Company to carryback net operating losses arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to thefive prior tax years. In addition, net operating losses generated in these years could fully offset prior year taxable income without the 80% of the taxable income limitation under the TCJA which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Company has been generating losses since its inception, as such the net operating loss carryback provision under the CARES Act is not applicable to the Company.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company also had U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards (post-apportioned) of $31.0 million and $28.2 million, respectively, which may be available to offset future income tax liabilities and expire at various dates through 2042.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $0.1 million federal tax credit carryforwards available to reduce future tax liabilities which expire at various dates through 2042. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $0.1 federal tax credit carryforwards. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which may be available to reduce future tax liabilities and can be carried over indefinitely.
Utilization of the U.S. federal and state net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state law, due to ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether a change of ownership has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since its formation. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards or research and development tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
The Company has not, as of yet, conducted a study of research and development tax credit carryforwards. Such a study, once undertaken by the Company, may result in an adjustment to the research and development tax credit carryforwards; however, a full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s research and development tax credits and, if an adjustment is required, this adjustment would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance. Thus, there would be no impact to the balance sheet or statement of operations if an adjustment is required.
The Company files tax returns in the United States, California, Virginia, and New York. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through present. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded no liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest, or penalties related to federal and state income tax matters and there currently no pending tax examinations. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Nasdaq Notification Letter
On March 7, 2025, the Company was notified by the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq that it has determined that as of March 6, 2025, the Company’s securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days. As a result, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)A)(iii) and the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company submitted an appeal to Nasdaq on March 14, 2025, which stayed the delisting and suspension of the Company’s securities pending the decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its views and its plans to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rules to the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the minimum bid price rules or any other applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the hearing. It is the Company’s understanding that the Panel typically issues its decision within 30 days after the hearing. If the Company is delisted, this will have an impact on the Evofem transaction.
Aldevron Settlement

The Aldevron Principal Amount will not bear interest unless it is not repaid in full by its maturity date on May 16, 2025, in which case interest will accrue at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum.*** ***
Aditxt Reverse Split
At the Special Meeting, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 at a specific ratio within a range of one-for five (1:for:5) to a maximum of one-for-two hundred fifty (1:for:250), with the exact ratio to be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion.
Following the Special Meeting, the board of directors approved a one-for-two hundred fifty (1:for:250) reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “March Reverse Stock Split”). On March 12, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect the March Reverse Stock Split. The March Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on March 14, 2025, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Stock Market opened on March 17, 2025. The March Reverse Stock Split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.
When the March Reverse Stock Split became effective, every 250 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined, converted and changed into 1 share of the Company’s common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares or the par value per share. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans. Any fraction of a share of common stock created as a result of the March Reverse Stock Split was rounded up to the next whole share. Holders of the Company’s common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee did not need to take any action in connection with the March Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record received information from the Company’s transfer agent regarding their common stock ownership post- the March Reverse Stock Split.
The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the existing symbol “ADTX”, but the security has been assigned a new CUSIP number (007025802).
