The Company and Basis of Presentation | |
The Company and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation The Company First Wave BioPharma, Inc. (“ First Wave FWB GI The Company is currently focused on developing a therapeutic pipeline with multiple Phase 2 clinical stage programs built around three proprietary technologies – the biologic Adrulipase, a recombinant lipase enzyme designed to enable the digestion of fats and other nutrients in cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency; Capeserod, a selective 5-HT4 receptor partial agonist which we will pursue for GI indications; and Niclosamide, an oral small molecule with anti-inflammatory properties for patients with inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The Company is developing its product candidates for a host of GI diseases where there are significant unmet clinical needs and limited therapeutic options, resulting in painful, life threatening and discomforting consequences for patients. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to research and development, business development, and raising capital, and has financed its operations through issuance of Common Stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, and other debt/equity instruments. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development and regulatory success, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and ability to secure additional capital to fund clinical trials and operations. In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. In addition, the Company is subject to other challenges and risks specific to its business, its ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and its ability to execute on its strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of its drug candidates; delays or problems in the manufacture and supply of its drug candidates; loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or drug candidates; pharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; the challenges of protecting and enhancing our intellectual property rights; and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“ GAAP In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022, has been derived from audited financial statements of that date. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2023. Going Concern Uncertainty The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. On September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.3 million, accumulated deficit of approximately $180.2 million, and working capital of approximately $1.5 million. The Company has incurred recurring losses, has experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company anticipates having sufficient cash to fund planned operations through December 2023, however, the acceleration or reduction of cash outflows by Company management can significantly impact the timing for the need to raise additional capital to complete development of its products. Historically, the Company’s major sources of cash have been comprised of proceeds from various public and private offerings of its capital stock. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Without adequate working capital, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and include certain 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 (including goodwill), and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. Reverse Stock Split On January 18, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split, whereby every seven shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock was converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, but without any change in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and the par value per share. On August 26, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split, whereby every thirty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, but without any change in the number of authorized shares of common stock and the par value per share. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock splits referenced above. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalent balances were highly liquid at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has classified approximately $0.02 million as restricted cash. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At September 30, 2023 the Company had approximately $3.2 million in one account in the U.S. which was in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ( ASC 820 As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions, which reflect those that a market participant would use. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period. Foreign Currency Translation For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities were translated to U.S. dollars, which was the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items were translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments were accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity up until the dissolution of AzurRx SAS in October 2022, at which time cumulative translation adjustments were recognized as a loss for the year ended December 31, 2022. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may be present. Any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges through September 30, 2023 related to goodwill. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment ( ASC 360 Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ ROU License Agreements The Company records payments related to license agreements for assets acquired that have not reached technological feasibility and which have no alternative future use, as research and development expenses. On September 13, 2023, the Company entered into a license agreement with Sanofi to license Capeserod, a selective 5-HT4 receptor partial agonist, which the Company will repurpose and develop for gastrointestinal (“ GI Research and Development Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expense, except for goodwill related to patents. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, payments to third parties for preclinical and non-clinical activities, expenses with clinical research organizations (“ CROs CDMOs CMC Research and Development – The Company records intellectual property in asset acquisitions that have not reached technological feasibility and which have no alternative future use, as an expense at the acquisition date. On September 13, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with FWB for the acquisition of intellectual property and patents for the worldwide, exclusive right to develop, manufacture, and commercialize proprietary formulations of Niclosamide for the fields of treating ICI-AC and COVID-19 in humans, which was accounted for as an asset acquisition (see Note 4). Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s board of directors (the “ Board 2014 Plan 2020 Plan ASC 718 For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award occurs when vesting becomes probable. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “ FASB ASU 2020-06 SEC In June 2016, the FASB issued accounting pronouncement ASU 2016-13 – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements (“ ASU 2016-13 In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 - Fair Value Measurement, or Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ ASU 2022-03 The Company has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and has concluded that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption. |

Fair Value Disclosures | Note 3 - Fair Value Disclosures Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows: Fair Value Measured at Reporting Date Using Carrying Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value September 30, 2023 (unaudited): Money market funds $ 12,086 $ 12,086 $ — $ — $ 12,086 Note payable — — — — — December 31, 2022: Money market funds 509,890 509,890 — — 509,890 Note payable $ 603,494 $ — $ 603,494 $ — $ 603,494 At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no other assets or liabilities that are subject to fair value methodology and estimation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |

In addition, the Company’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop Niclosamide will be deferred for a period of 24 months from the date of the July 2022 Term Sheet. Effective upon the Second Payment, the Representative dismissed the FWB Action with prejudice and extinguished the remaining fixed payment obligations owed to the former FWB shareholders. On November 30, 2022, the Company entered into a formal settlement agreement with the Representative on substantially the same terms as the July 2022 Term Sheet (the “ November 2022 Settlement Agreement Accounting Treatment Under the July 2022 Term Sheet, the $1.5 million in cash due and paid on July 29, 2022, as well as the Second Payment due and paid in September 2022, were recorded as a reduction to current liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Effective upon the Second Payment, the approximately $10.1 million of remaining fixed payment obligations previously owed to the former FWB shareholders was settled. The third payment obligation of $2.0 million due and paid by November 30, 2022 was recorded as research and development expense in the three months ended December 31, 2022. The remaining unachieved potential milestone payments and revenue share are not yet considered probable, therefore have not been accrued as of September 30, 2023. Depending on the status of development at the time a contingent payment is recognized, the Company may determine that the payment should be expensed as research and development or be capitalized as an intangible asset. This determination will be based on the facts and circumstances that exist at the time a contingent payment is recognized. |

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share | Note 14 - Net (Loss) Income per Common Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt that are not deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method.

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and include certain 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 (including goodwill), and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Reverse Stock Split | Reverse Stock Split On January 18, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split, whereby every seven shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock was converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, but without any change in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and the par value per share. On August 26, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split, whereby every thirty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, but without any change in the number of authorized shares of common stock and the par value per share. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock splits referenced above. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalent balances were highly liquid at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has classified approximately $0.02 million as restricted cash. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At September 30, 2023 the Company had approximately $3.2 million in one account in the U.S. which was in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and equivalents with high quality financial institutions. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ( ASC 820 As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions, which reflect those that a market participant would use. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities were translated to U.S. dollars, which was the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items were translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments were accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity up until the dissolution of AzurRx SAS in October 2022, at which time cumulative translation adjustments were recognized as a loss for the year ended December 31, 2022. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may be present. Any excess in carrying value over the estimated fair value is charged to results of operations. The Company has not recognized any impairment charges through September 30, 2023 related to goodwill. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s board of directors (the “ Board 2014 Plan 2020 Plan ASC 718 For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award occurs when vesting becomes probable. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the Common Stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the Common Stock. |
