Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Evofem Biosciences, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, convertible and redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations since inception, has received a notice of default for its convertible notes, and does not have sufficient capital to repay such obligations, which are now currently due and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of the Matter – Restatement of Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

As disclosed in Note 12 of the financial statements, the unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 have been restated to reclassify purchase rights from equity to liability classification.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Critical Audit Matter Description

In April 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Security Agreement with certain affiliates of Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell senior secured promissory notes (the “Baker Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million. The Baker Notes were issued and sold in two separate closings in April and June 2020, were subsequently exchanged with Aditxt, Inc. in December 2023 as described in Note 4 – Debt, and remain outstanding at December 31, 2023. The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825,Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) and recognized the hybrid debt instrument at fair value inclusive of the embedded features. The fair value of the Baker Notes was determined by estimating the fair value of the Market Value of Invested Capital (“MVIC”) of the Company from the third quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023. The MVIC was estimated using forms of the cost and market approaches. In the Cost approach, an adjusted net asset value method was used to determine the net recoverable value of the Company, including an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s intellectual property. Starting in the third quarter of 2023, the fair value of the Baker Notes, and subsequently the Aditxt Notes, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model. The Monte Carlo simulation was used to take into account several embedded features and factors, including the exercise of the repurchase right, the Company’s future revenues, meeting certain debt covenants, the maturity term of the note and dissolution. For the dissolution scenario, the Cost approach, an adjusted Net Asset Value Method was used to determine the net recoverable value of the Company, including an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s intellectual property. The estimated fair value of the Company’s intellectual property was valued using a Relief from Royalty Method, which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenue, and the selection of the royalty and discount rates. The guideline public company method served as another valuation indicator. In this form of the Market approach, comparable market revenue multiples were elected and applied to the Company’s forward revenue forecast to ultimately derive a MVIC indication. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded the fair value of the Aditxt Notes at $13.5 million.

We identified the Company’s estimate of the fair value for the Baker Notes, and subsequently the Aditxt Notes, as a critical audit matter due to the significant estimates and assumptions made by management related to forecasts of future revenue, probability of scenarios used in the Monte Carlo simulation, and the selection of the royalty and discount rates to determine the fair value of the Company’s intellectual property. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenue, probability of scenarios used in the Monte Carlo simulation, and the selection of the royalty and discount rates for the intellectual property.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s determination of the fair value of the Baker Notes, and subsequently Aditxt Notes, included the following, among others:

–We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenue by comparing actual revenues to management’s historical forecasts.
–We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenue by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications to management and the Board of Directors, and (3) the overall estimated market size.
–With the assistance of fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the probability of scenarios used in the Monte Carlo simulation the royalty and discount rates by (1) testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations (2) developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the probability scenarios and discount rates selected by management and (3) understanding the facts and circumstances around the selected probability weightings for each scenario and selected royalty rate.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.
