Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “seek,” “evaluate,” “pursue,” “continue,” “design,” “impact,” “affect,” “forecast,” “target,” “outlook,” “initiative,” “objective,” “designed,” “priorities,” “goal,” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated.
These forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report include, among other things, statements about:
3
Any forward-looking statements that we make in this Quarterly Report speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
You should also read carefully the factors described in the “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, or the 2022 Annual Report, to better understand significant risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

(Unaudited)
(1) Background
Business
Baudax Bio, Inc. (“Baudax Bio” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company focused on developing T cell receptor (“TCR”) therapies utilizing human regulatory T cells (“Tregs”), as well as a portfolio of clinical stage Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (“NMBs”) and an associated reversal agent. The Company’s TCR Treg programs primarily focus on immune modulating therapies for orphan diseases or complications associated with such diseases, as well as the treatment of autoimmune disorders. The Company believes that its TCR Treg programs have the potential to provide valuable therapeutic options to patients suffering from diseases for which there are limited treatment options and significant unmet need, as well as to prescribers and payers in these markets.
On June 29, 2023, the Company acquired TeraImmune, Inc. (“TeraImmune”), a Delaware corporation (the “Acquisition”). TeraImmune was a privately-held biotechnology company focused on discovery and development of novel Treg-based cell therapies for autoimmune diseases. TeraImmune’s proprietary and patented technology platforms include a method for expansion of the Treg without losing its function and stability, as well as a method to target specific receptors including TCRs, Chimeric Antigen Receptors (“CARs”) and B cell Antigen Receptors (“BARs”). TeraImmune has also in-licensed through an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing license, a patent family covering methods of producing T cell populations enriched for regulatory T cells and cell culture compositions from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as represented by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health. In addition, TeraImmune has developed Treg manufacturing procedures in accordance with regulatory guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). In June 2022, TeraImmune’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to commence clinical trials of a Factor VIII (“FVIII”) TCR-Treg treatment for Hemophilia A with inhibitors was cleared by the FDA. For additional information on the Acquisition, see Note 5.
The Company also holds exclusive global rights to two new molecular entities, which are centrally acting neuromuscular blocking agents (“NMBs”), BX1000, an intermediate duration of action NMB that recently completed a successful Phase II clinical trial, and BX2000, an ultra-short acting NMB currently undergoing a Phase I clinical trial. A proprietary blockade reversal agent, BX3000, is currently being evaluated in preclinical studies intended to support an IND filing in 2023. BX3000 is an agent that is expected to rapidly reverse BX1000 and BX2000 blockade. All three agents are licensed from Cornell University. The Company believes these agents, when an NMB and BX3000 are administered in succession, allow for a rapid onset of centrally acting neuromuscular blockade, followed by a rapid reversal of the neuromuscular blockade with BX3000. These novel agents have the potential to meaningfully reduce time to onset and reversal of blockade and improve the reliability of onset and offset of neuromuscular blockade. This can potentially reduce time in operating rooms or post operative suites (PACU), resulting in potential clinical and cost advantages, as well as valuable cost savings for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers and has the potential for an improved clinical profile in terms of safety.
In mid-2020, the Company launched its first commercial product, ANJESO, in the United States. ANJESO was the first and only 24-hour, intravenous, or IV, analgesia agent. ANJESO is a cyclooxygenase-2 (“COX-2”) preferential, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (“NSAID”) for the management of moderate to severe pain, which could be administered alone or in combination with other non-NSAID analgesics. The Company discontinued commercial sales of ANJESO in December 2022 and further withdrew its New Drug Application (“NDA”) related to ANJESO in late March 2023. See Note 4 for discussion on the discontinued operation related to our ANJESO commercial business.
The Company has determined that it operates in a single segment involved in innovative products for hospital and related settings.
Reverse Stock Splits
On February 16, 2022, the Company effected a reverse split of shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1-for-35 basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On December 1, 2022, the Company effected a second reverse split of shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1-for-40 basis (the “December Reverse Stock Split”). All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, warrants, common stock options, and unvested restricted stock units and the related per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect these reverse stock splits for all periods presented. The par value and authorized shares of common stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock splits. Additionally, the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock and their related per share amount, other than the conversion price per share, was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock splits.

(2) Development Activity Risks, Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has negative cash flows, working capital and equity, including an accumulated deficit of $186,875, as of June 30, 2023.
Additionally, TeraImmune failed to pay its Convertible Bond Agreement, dated March 22, 2022, with EoFlow Co., Ltd. (the ‘‘5% Convertible Term Loan’’), on the stated maturity date of November 30, 2022. The Company is offering conversion of the notes with an outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of $1,239 at June 30, 2023, into shares of the Company's common stock or by providing the noteholders with a repayment plan. This debt was part of the liabilities assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of TeraImmune (see Notes 5 and 11).
The Company has raised funds from debt and equity transactions and will be required to raise additional funds to continue to operate as a standalone entity. In order to fund development activities, and clinical and pre-clinical testing, the Company will require significant additional funding. The Company could delay clinical trial activity or reduce funding of specific programs in order to reduce cash needs. Insufficient funds may cause the Company to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its development, future commercialization, or expansion activities. The Company may raise such funds, if available, through debt financings, bank or other loans, through strategic research and development, licensing (including out-licensing) and/or marketing arrangements or through public or private sales of equity or debt securities from time to time. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact the Company’s growth plans and its financial condition or results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern. Additional debt or equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to holders of the Company’s common stock and may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to operate its business.
The Company's management assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based on the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The Company expects to seek additional funding to sustain its future operations and while the Company has successfully raised capital in the past, the ability to raise capital in future periods is not assured. The Company is not expected to be able to maintain its minimum liquidity covenant over the next twelve months without additional inflows of funds or capital financing. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
(a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s results for the interim periods. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Form 10-K.

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited consolidated 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash in banks and highly liquid short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. These highly liquid short-term investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near to their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of the changes in interest rates.
(d) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: three to seven years for furniture and office equipment; three years for computer and software; three to seven years for manufacturing equipment; and the shorter of the remaining lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
(e) Business Combinations
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” (“ASC 805”), the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Valuations are performed to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, in particular with respect to intangible assets. Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and expectations of future cash flows. Transaction costs associated with the transaction are expensed as incurred. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”), is the value assigned to those projects for which the related products have not received regulatory approval and have no alternative future use. Determining the portion of the purchase price allocated to IPR&D requires the Company to make significant estimates. In a business combination, the Company capitalizes IPR&D as an intangible asset.
(f) Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired by the Company. Goodwill is not amortized but assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The impairment model prescribes a one-step method for determining impairment.
The one-step quantitative test calculates the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company has one reporting unit.
The Company’s intangible asset was acquired through the Acquisition and is classified as an IPR&D asset. Intangible assets related to IPR&D are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and are assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the associated research and development effort is abandoned, the related assets will be written-off, and the Company will record a noncash impairment loss on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. For those compounds that reach commercialization, the IPR&D assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets is a one-step test that compares the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.
12
BAUDAX BIO, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
The Company performs its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests as of November 30th, or whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would require reassessment of the recoverability of those assets. In performing the evaluation, the Company assesses qualitative factors such as overall financial performance of its reporting unit, anticipated changes in industry and market conditions, including recent tax reform, intellectual property protection, and competitive environments. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2023 after identifying indicators of impairment. There was no impairment to goodwill based on the analysis.
(g) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages its cash and cash equivalents based on established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity.
(h) Research and Development
Research and development costs for the Company’s proprietary products candidates are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of internal costs and funds incurred internally or paid to third parties for the provision of services for pre-commercialization and manufacturing scale-up activities, drug development, pre-clinical activities, clinical trials, statistical analysis, report writing and regulatory filing fees and compliance costs. At the end of the reporting period, the Company compares payments made to third-party service providers to the estimated progress toward completion of the research or development project. Such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the progress that the Company estimates has been made as a result of the service provided, the Company may record net prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs.
Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties who perform research and development services on the Company’s behalf are expensed as services are rendered. Costs incurred in obtaining product technology licenses are charged to research and development expense as acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use.
(i) Stock-Based Awards
Share-based compensation included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements is based upon the Baudax Bio, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Baudax Bio 2019 Plan”) and the TeraImmune 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “TeraImmune 2019 Plan”). These plans include grants of stock options, time-based vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs. The Company measures employee stock-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Determining the appropriate fair value of stock options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option and expected stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and/or management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.
The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses an average of its peer group’s volatility in order to estimate future stock price trends. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future, therefore the dividend yield is zero.
(j) Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company applies ASC 480 when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally
13
BAUDAX BIO, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
redeemable preferred shares, including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, and consisting of Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series X Preferred Stock") are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as stockholders’ equity.
(k) Equity-method Investment
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of these investees is included in our statements of operations. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest, legal form of the investee, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intra-entity transactions.
The Company’s equity-method investment includes its investment in TeraImmune Therapeutics, Co., Ltd., ("TIT"). The carrying value of the Company’s investment in TIT is recorded in equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheet and is immaterial as of June 30, 2023.
(l) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 basis, operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. 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 operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Because of the Company’s history of losses as a standalone entity, a full valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets in all periods presented.
Unrecognized income tax benefits represent income tax positions taken on income tax returns that have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit is recognized. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits over the next year.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended (the “Act”), the utilization of a corporation’s net operating loss is limited following a greater than 50% change in ownership during a three-year period. Any unused annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the carryforward period. The Company is evaluating whether the Acquisition triggered an ownership change under these rules.
(m) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed using the two-class method required due to the participating nature of the Series A Preferred Stock (as defined and discussed in Note 13(b)) and the Series X Preferred Stock (together, “Preferred Stock”). Except with respect to voting and conversion, the rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series X Preferred Stock are identical. Each class of shares has the same rights to dividends. Although the Preferred Stock are participating securities, such securities do not participate in net losses and therefore do not impact the Company’s net loss from continuing operations per share calculation as of June 30, 2023.
Basic net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of shares of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. The Company uses income from continuing operations as the control number in determining whether potential common shares are dilutive or antidilutive. The same number of potential common shares used in computing the diluted per-share amount for income from continuing operations is used in computing all other reported diluted per-share amounts even if those amounts will be antidilutive to their respective basic per-share amounts. Outstanding warrants, common stock options, unvested restricted stock units and
14
BAUDAX BIO, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
convertible redeemable preferred shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect would be anti-dilutive.
For purposes of calculating basic and diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes the weighted average common shares outstanding, the weighted average common stock equivalents for warrants priced at par value, or $0.01, as the underlying common shares will be issued for little cash consideration and the conditions for the issuance of the underlying common shares are met when such warrants are issued, and, with regard to diluted loss per common share, the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive.

(n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and rules are issued by the SEC that the Company has or will adopt as of a specified date. Unless otherwise noted, management does not believe that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB or guidance issued by the SEC had, or is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financials.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a range of reasonable information to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including those interim periods

(Unaudited)
within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023 and noted no impact to the Company or its disclosures.
4) Discontinued Operations
In March 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement with Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited (“Alkermes”) (the “Transfer Agreement”). Under the terms of the Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred the rights to certain patents, trademarks, equipment, data and other rights related to ANJESO (the “Assets”) to Alkermes. The Company also withdrew the New Drug Application (“NDA”) related to ANJESO and agreed, if elected by Alkermes at a later date, to transfer such withdrawn NDA to Alkermes at no additional cost.
Additionally, under the Transfer Agreement, the Company granted Alkermes a non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable, royalty-free and fully paid-up worldwide license, to the additional intellectual property owned by the Company necessary to or useful to exploit ANJESO. In consideration of the transfer of the Assets, the parties agreed to the termination of (i) the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated March 7, 2015 by and among Alkermes, the Company and the other parties thereto (as amended, the “PSA”), (ii) the Asset Transfer and License Agreement, dated April 10, 2015 by and among Alkermes, the Company and the other parties thereto (as amended, the “ATLA”); and (iii) the Development, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2015 by and between the Company and Alkermes (as amended, the “Manufacturing Agreement”) between the parties related to ANJESO (the PSA, ATLA and Manufacturing Agreement, collectively, the “ANJESO Agreements”). In connection with the termination of the ANJESO Agreements, no further payments of any kind pursuant to the ANJESO Agreements are payable by the Company to Alkermes.
The accounting requirements for reporting the abandonment of ANJESO as a discontinued operation were met when the agreements with Alkermes were executed. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented reflect this business as a discontinued operation.
The historical consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations of the Company and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements and prior periods have been recast. Discontinued operations include results of the Company’s commercial business except for certain corporate overhead costs, which are included in continuing operations.
There were no assets or liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2023. The following table shows amounts included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022:

The Company sold ANJESO in the U.S. through a single third-party logistics provider (“3PL”), which took title to and control of the goods, and was considered the customer. The Company recognized revenue from ANJESO product sales at the point the title to the product is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the product. The transaction price that was recognized as revenue for products includes an estimate of variable consideration for reserves, which result from discounts, returns, chargebacks, rebates, and other allowances that were offered within contracts between the Company and end-user customers, wholesalers, group purchasing organizations and other indirect customers. The Company’s payment terms were generally between thirty to ninety days.
Historically, the Company’s intangible asset was classified as an asset resulting from R&D activities. The Company determined the useful life of its asset resulting from R&D activities to be approximately 10 years, which was based on the remaining patent life, and was amortized on a straight-line basis. The Company performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2022 after identifying indicators of impairment, such as a decline in share price, the termination of the dedicated commercial team, sustained impacts of COVID-19 on the market and the discontinuation of commercialization of ANJESO, and based on the quantitative analysis an impairment loss of $19,681 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022, eliminating the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset.
On April 10, 2015, Societal CDMO, Inc. (“Societal CDMO”), formerly Recro Pharma, Inc., completed the acquisition of a manufacturing facility in Gainesville, Georgia and the licensing and commercialization rights to injectable meloxicam (the “Alkermes Transaction”). Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement and subsequent amendment with Alkermes, as amended, governing the Alkermes Transaction, the Company agreed to pay to Alkermes up to an additional $140,000 in milestone payments including $60,000 upon regulatory approval payable over a seven-year period, as well as net sales milestones related to injectable meloxicam and royalties on future product sales of injectable meloxicam.
Historically, the contingent consideration consisted of four separate components. The first component was (i) a $5,000 payment made in the first quarter of 2019 and (ii) a $5,000 payment made in the second quarter of 2019. The second components became payable upon regulatory approval in February 2020 and included (i) a $5,000 payment, which was paid in three installments during 2020 and 2021, and (ii) $45,000 payable in seven equal annual payments of approximately $6,400 beginning on the first anniversary of such approval, of which the first payment was made in the first quarter of 2021. The Company paid $1,200 of the second payment in 2022. The third component consisted of three potential payments, based on the achievement of specified annual revenue targets. The fourth component consists of a royalty payment between 10% and 12% (subject to a 30% reduction when no longer covered by patent) for a defined term on future injectable meloxicam net sales, which was paid quarterly. In connection with the Transfer Agreement, the Company was relieved of its milestone payments previously owed to Alkermes in connection with the transaction and in the first quarter of 2023 reversed its contingent consideration balance, which was $19,900.

Additionally as part of the Transfer Agreement, the Company wrote off its inventory balance as of March 31, 2023, which was fully reserved for as of December 31, 2022, and the remaining property and equipment balance related to equipment at the Alkermes facility that was transferred as part of the Transfer Agreement of $485.
(5) Business Acquisition
On June 29, 2023 ("Effective Date"), the Company acquired TeraImmune, Inc., in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Acquisition the Company issued to the common stockholders of TeraImmune (the “Target Stockholders”) an aggregate of 1,212,185 shares of common stock of Baudax Bio and 27,089.719 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock (subject to certain conditions as described below), of which 314,282 of common stock and 7,024 of preferred stock are classified as escrow shares at Closing. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all options to purchase or acquire shares of TeraImmune held by continuing employees (as defined in the Merger Agreement) were assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase shares of common stock and Series X Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions as applied to such options and restricted stock awards immediately prior to the Acquisition. Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Company had 6,961,867 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to hold a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to submit (i) the approval of the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock into shares of common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (ii) the approval to effect a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, among other matters, to its shareholders for their consideration. In connection with these matters, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement and other relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company incurred transaction costs of $575 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting with Baudax Bio as the acquirer under the guidance of ASC 810-10, "Consolidation". Under the acquisition method, the total purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values as of the date of such acquisition. The preliminary fair value of the consideration totaled approximately $9,702, summarized as follows:
|
| Amount |
| |
Common stock issued to TeraImmune’s stockholders |
| $ | 476 |
|
Series X Convertible Preferred Stock issued to TeraImmune stockholders |

|
| 118 |
|
Stock options and restricted stock allocated to total consideration paid |
|
| 68 |
|

| $ | 9,702 |
|
The Series X Preferred Shares are measured at fair value by taking the common stock equivalents at the Company's closing stock price on the Effective Date and discounting the value by 15% for a lack of marketability.
The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the Acquisition based on the information available at that date. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition date:

The above allocation of the purchase price is based upon certain preliminary valuations and other analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for this business combination upon the finalization of more detailed analyses of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of the transaction will change the allocation of the purchase price. As such, the purchase price allocations for the acquisition are preliminary estimates, which are subject to change within the measurement period.
The fair value of IPR&D was capitalized as of the Acquisition date and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or disposition of the assets or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon successful completion of the development efforts, the useful lives of the IPR&D assets will be determined based on the anticipated period of regulatory exclusivity and will be amortized within operating expenses. Until that time, the IPR&D assets will be subject to impairment testing and will not be amortized. The goodwill recorded related to the Acquisition is the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquirer over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of such acquisition. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for tax purposes.
The Convertible bond payable with an outstanding balance and accrued interest of $1,239 (see note 11) and the shares held by an investor in TIT were not converted into Baudax Bio shares upon the closing of the Merger (collectively “Unconverted Securities”). The Unconverted Shares are convertible into the Escrow Shares of 314,282 common shares and 7,024 preferred shares and are not included in issued and outstanding shares. Based on the Merger Agreement, if the Escrow Shares remain undistributed twelve months from the Closing Date (“Escrow End Date”), these Escrow Shares will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of TeraImmune common stock as of immediately prior to the Merger. The Company accounts for the Escrows Shares and the potential distribution to the TeraImmune common stockholders as contingent consideration. The contingent consideration is liability classified at the time of acquisition and again as of June 30, 2023, as the underlying securities to be issued are substantially comprised of the Company’s Series X Preferred Stock. Contingent consideration is recorded at its estimated fair value at each reporting period using a probability weighted method using management’s estimates, level 3 observable inputs, and the likelihood of 3% and 5% for the TIT investor and bondholder, respectively, that the Escrow Shares will not be issued to the holders of the Unconverted Securities on or prior to the Escrow End Date. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration are recorded within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The derivative instrument represents the obligation of the Company to issue shares of its Series X Preferred Stock and common stock, at the option of the investor in TIT. The derivative liability is recorded at its estimated fair value at each reporting period using a probability weighted method using management’s estimates and are level 3 observable inputs. Changes in fair value of derivative liability are recorded within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2023. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on the assumed date:

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows a three-level fair value hierarchy for fair value measurement recognition and disclosure purposes for its financial assets and financial liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value each reporting period. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents, warrants, and contingent consideration. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. Categorization is based on a three-tier valuation hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
The Company has classified assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

(Unaudited)
As of June 30, 2023, the financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include accounts payable and accrued expenses, which approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt, where a quoted market price is not available, is evaluated based on, among other factors, interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, remaining payments and considerations of the Company’s creditworthiness. The Company determined that the recorded book value of debt approximated fair value at June 30, 2023 due to the fact that the debt arrangements reflect market terms from recent transactions.
The reconciliation of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows:

(9) Leases
The Company is a party to various operating leases in (i) Malvern, Pennsylvania, (ii) Dublin, Ireland and (iii) Germantown, Maryland for office and lab space and office equipment.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or upon acquisition of previous arrangements through a merger. The arrangement is a lease if it conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease terms vary based on the nature of operations. All leased facilities recorded on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet are classified as operating leases with remaining lease terms between 5 and 8 years. Most leases contain specific renewal options where notice to renew must be provided in advance of lease expiration or automatic renewals where no advance notice is required. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease were included in the non-cancellable lease term when exercise of the option was determined to be reasonably certain. Costs determined to be variable and not based on an index or rate were not included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s effective interest rate was used to discount its lease liabilities.
The Company’s leases with an initial term of twelve months or less that do not have a purchase option or extension that is reasonably certain to be exercised are not included in the right of use asset or lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As of June 30, 2023, undiscounted future lease payments for non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

On May 29, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement Closing Date”), the Company entered into a $50,000 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as the agent (“Agent”), and MAM Eagle Lender, LLC, as the lender (together with any other lenders under the Credit Agreement from time to time, collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in the original principal amount of $10,000 (the “Tranche One Loans”) funded on the Credit Agreement Closing Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, there are four additional tranches of term loans, in an aggregate original principal amount of $40,000 (the “Tranche Two Loans”, “Tranche Three Loans”, “Tranche Four Loans” and the “Tranche Five Loans”, and collectively with the Tranche One Loans, the “Term Loans” and each a “Term Loan”). As of June 30, 2023, no funds have been drawn from the additional tranches and are not expected to be drawn in the future.
The Term Loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 13.5%, with monthly, interest-only payments until the date that is three years prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) (the “Amortization Date”). The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is May 29, 2025, but may be extended to May 29, 2026 provided that the EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the consecutive twelve-month period ending on or immediately prior to May 29, 2022 is greater than $10,000 (such date, “Maturity Date”), which the Company did not achieve. Beginning on the Amortization Date, the Company was obligated to pay amortization payments (in addition to the interest stated above) on such date and each month thereafter in equal month installments of principal based on an amortization schedule of thirty-six months. Any unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans is due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, with the proceeds of asset sales, extraordinary receipts, debt issuances and specified other events. The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment premium equal to (i) with respect to any prepayment paid on or prior to the third anniversary of the Tranche One Loan (or, in the case of each of the Tranche Two Loans, Tranche Three Loans, Tranche Four Loans or Tranche Five Loans, the third anniversary of the date each such loan is funded), the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have accrued on the Term Loans being prepaid, repaid or accelerated, but that remained unpaid, in no event to be less than 5.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, and (ii) with respect to any prepayment paid after the third but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Tranche One Loan (or, in the case of each of the Tranche Two Loans, Tranche Three Loans, Tranche Four Loans or Tranche Five Loans, the fourth anniversary of the date each such loan is funded), 3.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid. In addition, an exit fee will be due and payable upon prepayment or repayment of the Term Loans (including, without limitation, on the Maturity Date) equal to the lesser of 2.5% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans advanced or approved to be advanced by the Lenders and $700; provided that such exit fee will be equal to $700 if fee is paid in conjunction with a change of control that occurs in connection with the payoff or within 6 months thereof. As of June 30, 2023, the Company will have to pay a 2.5% exit fee, which is $250 at the current outstanding loan balance and is being accreted to the carrying amount of the debt using the effective interest method over the term of the loan.
The Credit Agreement contains certain usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants including a minimum liquidity requirement of $5,000 at all times (the “Minimum Liquidity Covenant”) and minimum EBITDA levels that the Company may need to satisfy on a quarterly basis beginning in September 2021, subject to borrowing levels. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity Covenant as the minimum EBITDA criteria is not applicable until additional tranches are drawn. As of June 30, 2023, borrowings under the Credit Agreement are classified based on their schedule maturities.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to MAM Eagle Lender, LLC to purchase 376 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price equal to $6,426.00 per share. See Note 13(c) for additional information. The warrant is exercisable through May 29, 2027.
The Company recorded debt issuance costs for the Credit Agreement of $1,496 plus the fair value of warrants of $1,423, which were being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of Credit Agreement prior to Amendment No. 5 as noted below. Debt issuance cost amortization is included in interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded debt issuance cost amortization related to the Credit Agreement prior to Amendment No. 5 of $263 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company recorded debt issuance cost amortization related to the Credit Agreement of $209 and $421 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
On August 1, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, or the Amendment, with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the lenders waived any default under the credit agreement (including the imposition of a default interest rate with respect to the default) resulting from our failure to comply with the Minimum Liquidity Covenant. In addition, the Amendment, among other items, (i) provides that 30% of any cash proceeds received by the Company from certain potential strategic licensing transactions shall be used to prepay amounts outstanding under the credit agreement; and (ii) decreases the amount of cash the Company is required to maintain pursuant to the Minimum Liquidity Covenant to $3,000 for a period beginning on August 1, 2022, and ending on August 31, 2022, at which point the amount required pursuant to the Minimum Liquidity Covenant shall increase to $5,000.
On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, or the Amendment, with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Credit Agreement is amended such that the Company must repay the principal thereunder (i) on the first business day of each month until the Interest Payment Date on December 1, 2022, in equal monthly installments of principal based on an amortization schedule of 36 months, (ii) an additional payment of principal in the amount of $300 prior to December 31, 2022 and (iii) commencing on the Interest Payment Date on January 2, 2023 and on each Interest Payment Date thereafter until the obligations have been repaid in full, the principal amount of $500. In addition, the Amendment decreases the minimum cash covenant the Company is required to maintain under the Credit Agreement to (i) $3,000 for the period beginning on October 1, 2022, and ending on November 30, 2022, (ii) $4,500 for the period beginning on December 1, 2022, and ending on February 28, 2023, and (iii) $4,000 from and after March 1, 2023. Further, the Company has agreed that prior to December 31, 2022, it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lenders, make or permit any payment under its agreements with Alkermes. In consideration for the Amendment, the Company agreed to pay the Agent an amendment fee of $5 and the Lender an amendment fee of $200.

On December 1, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the amendment decreases the minimum cash covenant the Company is required to maintain under the credit agreement to (a) from October 1, 2022 to December 6, 2022 to not be less than $3,000 at any time, (b) from December 7, 2022 to February 28, 2023 to not be less than $4,500, and (c) from and after March 1, 2023 to not be less than $4,000.
In January 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the credit agreement was amended such that the Company must make (i) a payment of principal in the amount of $500 on January 3, 2023, (ii) a payment of principal in the amount of $300 on February 1, 2023 and March 1, 2023, and (iii) on the interest payment date on April 3, 2023 and on each interest payment date thereafter until the obligations are repaid in full, a payment in the principal amount of $500. In addition, the amendment decreases the minimum cash covenant the Company is required to maintain under the credit agreement, or the Minimum Liquidity Covenant, to (i) $3,000 for the period beginning on October 1, 2022, and ending on December 6, 2022, (ii) $4,500 for the period beginning on December 7, 2022, and ending on January 10, 2023, (iii) $2,225 for the period beginning on January 11, 2023, and ending on February 28, 2023, and (iv) $3,000 from and after March 1, 2023. Further, the Company agreed that prior to April 30, 2023, it will not, without the prior written consent of MAM Eagle Lender, make or permit any payment under its agreements with Alkermes.
On March 29, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 and Consent to Credit Agreement whereby MAM Eagle Lender consented to the transactions contemplated by the Transfer Agreement (as defined above) and agreed to release and discharge any liens granted or held by the lenders in respect of the assets discussed in the Transfer Agreement. The parties also agreed to, among other things, amend the minimum liquidity covenants under the Credit Agreement to require that the Company maintains $2,500 of liquidity at all times. In connection with Amendment No. 5, the Company issued warrants to MAM Eagle Lender to purchase an aggregate of 785,026 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share at an exercise price equal to $1.8951 per share.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2023, by and among the Company, the Lenders and the Agent, solely in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent for the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to forbear their rights to exercise any rights and remedies with respect to any default under the Credit Agreement, resulting from the Acquisition, for a period of up to 30 days following the closing of the Acquisition. On July 30, 2023, the parties amended the Forbearance Agreement to extend such deadline until October 31, 2023.
As a result of Amendment No. 5, the Company performed a cash flow analysis to determine if the terms of the amended agreement were substantially different from those of the previous debt agreement. Due to the amendment fee and the fair value of the warrants issued, the Company concluded the terms are substantially changed in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments. ASC 470-50 requires accounting for the amendment as a debt extinguishment and not a debt modification. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $2,196 in the first quarter of 2023, which represents the difference between the net carrying value of the existing debt and the reacquisition cost of the amended terms of the agreement and is attributable to unamortized debt issuance costs, the fair value of the Amendment No. 5 warrants and the Amendment No.5 fee.
Based on the terms of the amended agreement, as of June 30, 2023, the effective interest rate was 14.85%, which takes into consideration the accretion of the exit fee.
As a result of the liquidity conditions discussed in Note 2, the Company is not expected to be able to comply with the Minimum Liquidity Covenant, as amended, over the next twelve months without additional capital financing. If the Company is unable to maintain its Minimum Liquidity Covenant, it is reasonably possible that the Lenders could demand repayment of the borrowings under the Credit Agreement during the next twelve months.

On September 19, 2022, the board of directors of the Company declared a dividend of one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share to shareholders of record on September 29, 2022 (the “Record Date”). The shares of Series B Preferred Stock were distributed to such recipients on October 3, 2022. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 1,000,000 votes per share. The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock vote together with the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as a single class exclusively with respect to (1) any proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to reclassify the outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of common stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance with the terms of such amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and (2) any proposal to adjourn any meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of voting on the Reverse Stock Split.

On October 19, 2020, the Company entered into Warrant Exchange Agreements (each, an “Exchange Agreement”) with certain holders (each, a “Holder”) of the Company’s outstanding March Series A Warrants and March Series B Warrants. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Holders, at their election, agreed to a cashless exchange of either all of their March Series A Warrants or March Series B Warrants, in each case for 0.2 shares of the Company’s common stock per warrant (rounded up to the nearest whole share) (the “Exchange”). The Company issued 848 shares of its common stock to the participating Holders as a result of the Exchange.
As a result of the Exchange, pursuant to certain price adjustment provisions in the warrants, the exercise price of each of the March Series A Warrants or March Series B Warrants (including warrants held by holders not participating in the Exchange) that were not exchanged were adjusted to $1.8951, for each share of common stock underlying such warrant. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, any outstanding warrant held by a Holder participating in the Exchange (i) was amended to remove certain anti-dilution and variable pricing protections and (ii) in the case of March Series A Warrants not exchanged by a participating Holder, was amended to adjust the expiration date of such March Series A Warrants to April 26, 2021 (which is the expiration date of the March Series B Warrants). The March Series A and Series B warrants were liability classified prior to the Exchange because they contained anti-dilution provisions that did not meet the standard definition of anti-dilution provisions. The Company recorded a mark-to-market adjustment to record the March Series A and Series B warrant at their fair values immediately prior to the Exchange and then reclassified the remaining balance of $21,858 to equity as a result of the issuance of shares and the removal of the anti-dilution and variable pricing protections in the Exchange.
On January 21, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in an offering (the “January Offering”), warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 7,358 shares of common stock of the Company (the “January Warrants”) at an offering price of $175.00 per warrant in exchange for the exercise of the institutional investor’s existing December Series A warrants that were issued to them on December 21, 2020, at an exercise price of $1,652.00 per warrant. The January Warrants have an exercise price of $2,240.00 per share.
As compensation to the Placement Agent, in connection with the January Offering, the Company agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the January Offering (including the proceeds relating to the exercise of the December Series A Warrants), plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the January Offering (including the proceeds relating to the exercise of the December Series A Warrants) and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees. The Company also issued to designees of the Placement Agent warrants to purchase 441 shares of common stock (the “January Placement Agent Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2,800.00 per share.
On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into warrant amendment agreements (the “Warrant Amendment Agreements”) with certain holders of the Company’s (i) Series A Warrants to purchase 7,234 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1,680.00 per share, (ii) Warrants to purchase 7,358 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2,240.00 per share, (iii) Warrants to purchase 10,021 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1,260.00 per share, (iv) Warrants to purchase 9,062 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $448.00 per share, and (v) Warrants to purchase 88,615 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $130.00 per share (the “Existing Warrants”). Under the Warrant Amendment Agreements, the Company agreed to amend the Existing Warrants by lowering the exercise price of the Existing Warrants to $23.92 per share. The warrant modification resulted in an increase in the fair value of warrants of $1,151. Subsequent to the warrant amendment, the Company issued 2,875 shares of common stock upon exercise of a portion of the amended warrants for net proceeds of $69.
On December 2, 2022, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “December Warrant Amendment Agreement”) with a certain holder of the Company’s (i) warrants to purchase 7,234 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $23.92 per share, (ii) warrants to purchase 7,358 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $23.92 per share, (iii) warrants to purchase 6,013 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $23.92 per share, (iv) Warrants to purchase 5,143 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $23.92 per share, (v) warrants to purchase 48,246 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $23.92 per share, (vi) Series A-1 warrants to purchase 14,404 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $43.60 per share, (vii) Series A-2 warrants to purchase 142,858 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $21.00 per share and (viii) warrants to purchase 142,858 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $21.00 per share (collectively, the “December Existing Warrants”). Under the December Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Company (i) agreed to amend the December Existing Warrants by lowering the exercise price of the December Existing Warrants to $4.50 per share and (ii) amend the expiration date of the December Existing Warrants to December 6, 2027, in

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. As used in this Quarterly Report, unless the context suggests otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Baudax Bio” refer to Baudax Bio, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
We are a biotechnology company focused on developing T cell receptor, or TCR, therapies utilizing human regulatory T cells, or Tregs, as well as a portfolio of clinical stage Neuromuscular Blocking Agents, or NMBs, and an associated reversal agent. Our TCR Treg programs primarily focus on immune modulating therapies for orphan diseases or complications associated with such diseases, as well as the treatment of autoimmune disorders. We believe that our TCR Treg programs have the potential to provide valuable therapeutic options to patients suffering from diseases for which there are limited treatment options and significant unmet need, as well as to prescribers and payers in these markets.
On June 29, 2023, we acquired TeraImmune, Inc., or TeraImmune, a Delaware corporation. TeraImmune was a privately-held biotechnology company focused on discovery and development of novel Treg-based cell therapies for autoimmune diseases. TeraImmune’s proprietary and patented technology platforms include a method for expansion of the Treg without losing its function and stability, as well as a method to target specific receptors including TCRs, Chimeric Antigen Receptors, or CARs and B cell Antigen Receptors, or BARs. TeraImmune has also in-licensed through an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing license, a patent family covering methods of producing T cell populations enriched for regulatory T cells and cell culture compositions from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as represented by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health. In addition, TeraImmune has developed Treg manufacturing procedures in accordance with regulatory guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA.
In June 2022, TeraImmune’s Investigational New Drug, or IND, application to commence clinical trials of a Factor VIII, or FVIII, TCR-Treg treatment for Hemophilia A with inhibitors was cleared by the FDA.
Tregs are designed to recognize and target certain cells through the engagement of target-specific receptors by peptide antigens presented on the surface of the target cell by the major histocompatibility complex. Our proprietary and patented technology platform consists of two approaches: (1) TREGable™, which involves the isolation of natural Tregs, and (2) TREGing™, which involves engineering effector T, or Teff, cells into antigen-specific Tregs. Each approach is intended to recognize and attack pathogens while avoiding an attack on healthy cells and tissues. The lead product candidate we acquired in the acquisition with TeraImmune, TI-168, is being developed for the treatment of Hemophilia A with inhibitors, which received IND clearance in 2022. We have in-licensed two patent families relating to TI-168, nucleic acids constructs encoding T cell receptors, methods of producing TI-168, immunosuppressive induced regulatory T cells from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc., or HJF, under two worldwide, exclusive, sublicensable royalty-bearing licenses. We also exclusively license a family of pending U.S. and foreign patent applications directed to immunosuppressive induced regulatory T cells and methods of producing these cells, which if issued would expire in 2041 subject to any applicable disclaimer or extensions.
We also hold exclusive global rights to two new molecular entities, which are centrally acting NMBs, BX1000, an intermediate duration of action NMB that recently completed a successful Phase II clinical trial, and BX2000, an ultra-short acting NMB currently undergoing a Phase I clinical trial. A proprietary blockade reversal agent, BX3000, is currently being evaluated in preclinical studies intended to support an IND filing in 2023. BX3000 is an agent that is expected to rapidly reverse BX1000 and BX2000 blockade. All three agents are licensed from Cornell University. We believe these agents, when an NMB and BX3000 are administered in succession, allow for a rapid onset of centrally acting neuromuscular blockade, followed by a rapid reversal of the neuromuscular blockade with BX3000. These novel agents have the potential to meaningfully reduce time to onset and reversal of blockade and improve the reliability of onset and offset of neuromuscular blockade. This can potentially reduce time in operating rooms or post operative units, resulting in potential clinical and cost advantages, as well as valuable cost savings for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers and has the potential for an improved clinical profile in terms of safety.
In mid-2020, we launched our first commercial product, ANJESO, in the United States. ANJESO was the first and only 24-hour, intravenous, analgesia agent. ANJESO is a cyclooxygenase-2 preferential, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, for the management of moderate to severe pain, which could be administered alone or in combination with other non-NSAID analgesics. We discontinued commercial sales of ANJESO in December 2022 and further withdrew its New Drug Application, or NDA, related to ANJESO in late March 2023.
Our costs have consisted primarily of expenses incurred in conducting our manufacturing and commercialization of ANJESO, which was discontinued in December 2022, as well as public company and personnel costs, clinical trials and preclinical studies, regulatory activities, and manufacturing costs for our NMB blocking and reversal agents. We expect to incur operating losses for at least the next
35
several years. We expect substantially all of our operating losses to result from costs incurred in connection with our development programs, including our clinical, nonclinical and formulation development, preclinical and manufacturing related activities. Our expenses over the next several years are expected to primarily relate to developing our product candidates. In addition, we may incur costs associated with the acquisition or in-license of products and successful commercialization of the acquired or in-licensed products.
Business Acquisition
On June 29, 2023, in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, we acquired 100% of the outstanding security interests of TeraImmune in a “stock-for-stock” transaction, or the Acquisition, whereby all TeraImmune outstanding equity interests were exchanged for a combination of shares of our common stock and shares of Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series X Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, TeraImmune stockholders, or Target Stockholders, received (i) 1,212,185 shares of our common stock and (ii) 27,089.719 shares of Series X Preferred Stock, of which 314,282 of common stock and 7,024 of preferred stock are classified as escrow shares at Closing. In addition, all outstanding options to purchase or acquire shares of TeraImmune common stock were assumed by us and converted into restricted stock awards and options to purchase shares of common stock and Series X Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions as applied to such options and restricted stock awards immediately prior to the Acquisition. Subject to shareholder approval of the conversion and certain beneficial ownership limitations set by each holders, each share of Series X Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of common stock. On a pro forma basis and based upon the number of shares of our common stock and preferred stock issued in the Acquisition, our shareholders immediately prior to the Acquisition will own approximately 18% of the combined company (on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis and excluding certain out-of-the-money warrants held by our shareholders) immediately after these transactions. The Acquisition was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of TeraImmune. The closing of the transaction was not subject to the approval of our shareholders.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we agreed to hold a special meeting of shareholders, or the Special Meeting, to submit certain matters to our shareholders for their consideration, including: (i) the approval of the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock into shares of common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), or the Conversion Proposal, and (ii) the approval to effect a reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, or the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, together with the Conversion Proposal, the “Merger Agreement Meeting Proposals”. In connection with these matters, we filed a preliminary proxy statement and other relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC on July 31, 2023.
ANJESO Transfer Agreement
In March 2023, we entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement with Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited, or Alkermes, or the Transfer Agreement. Under the terms of the Transfer Agreement, we transferred the rights to certain patents, trademarks, equipment, data and other rights related to ANJESO, or the Assets to Alkermes. We also withdrew the New Drug Application, or NDA, related to ANJESO and agreed, if elected by Alkermes at a later date, to transfer such withdrawn NDA to Alkermes at no additional cost.
2022 Reduction in Force
Due to our cash position, in March 2022, we implemented a reduction in workforce by approximately 17 employees related to our continuing operations. The reorganization was substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2022 and approximately $1.7 million of charges were incurred for severance and other related costs. The reduction in force was designed to substantially reduce our operational expenses and conserve cash resources.
Discontinued Operation
Upon executing the Transfer Agreement, we met the criteria for discontinued operations related to our commercial business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented reflect this business as a discontinued operation. Discontinued operations include results of our commercial business except for certain corporate overhead costs, which are included in continuing operations. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Financial Overview
Revenue
We sold ANJESO in the U.S. through a single third-party logistics provider, or 3PL, which took title to and control of the goods and was considered our customer. We recognized revenue from ANJESO product sales at the point the title to the product is transferred to the customer and the customer obtained control of the product. The transaction price that was recognized as revenue for products
36
included an estimate of variable consideration for reserves, which result from discounts, returns, chargebacks, rebates and other allowances that were offered within contracts between us and our end-user customers, wholesalers, group purchasing organizations and other indirect customers. In December 2022, we discontinued the commercialization of ANJESO and the majority of expenses associated with the discontinuation were incurred by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Cost of Sales
Historically, cost of sales included product costs, manufacturing costs, transportation and freight, royalty expense, qualification costs for a secondary manufacturing suite and indirect overhead costs associated with the manufacturing and distribution of ANJESO including supply chain and quality personnel costs. Cost of sales also included period costs related to certain manufacturing services and inventory adjustment charges. We discontinued commercialization of ANJESO in December 2022. We believe there is very modest inventory held at the wholesaler level and have notified wholesalers through our 3PL that we will accept product returns until June 30, 2023, which have been recorded as of June 30, 2023.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses have consisted primarily of costs incurred in connection with the NMB portfolio and in previous years, the FDA required pediatric development of ANJESO activities. These expenses consist primarily of:
The majority of our external research and development costs have related to clinical trials, manufacturing of drug supply for pre-commercial products, analysis and testing of product candidates and patent costs. We expense costs related to clinical inventory and pre-commercial inventory until we receive approval from the FDA to market a product, at which time we commence capitalization of costs relating to that product to inventory. Costs related to facilities, depreciation and support are not charged to specific programs. Subsequent to regulatory approval of ANJESO and prior to the withdrawal of the NDA, we allocated or recategorized certain personnel and overhead expenses related to medical affairs, supply chain, quality and regulatory support functions that had previously been recorded within research and development, to cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses in support of the commercialization of ANJESO. Pre-commercial activities directly utilizing personnel and overhead expenses from the medical affairs, supply chain, quality and regulatory support function continue to be recorded within research and development.
The development of our other product candidates is highly uncertain and subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
37
Development timelines, probability of success and development costs vary widely. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we will assess our product candidate’s commercial potential and our available capital resources. As a result of these uncertainties surrounding the timing and outcome of any approval, we are currently unable to estimate precisely when, if ever, any of our product candidates will generate revenues and cash flows.
We expect our research and development costs to relate to the development and commercialization scale-up of our Treg-based cell therapy portfolio and NMB product candidate portfolio. We may elect to seek collaborative relationships in order to provide us with a diversified revenue stream and to help facilitate the development and commercialization of our product candidate pipeline.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses have historically consisted of sales and marketing expenses related to ANJESO and general and administrative expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consisted of compensation and benefits for our sales force and personnel that supported our sales and marketing efforts as well as third party consulting costs for the promotion and sale of ANJESO. In addition, sales and marketing expenses included expenses related to communicating the clinical and economic benefits of ANJESO and educational programs for our indirect customers.
General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance and information technology functions, and additionally in the prior year, the commercial portion of the medical affairs and regulatory functions. General and administrative expenses also include public company costs, directors and officer’s insurance, professional fees for legal, including patent-related expenses, consulting, auditing, and tax services.
Our general and administrative expenses decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the reduction in personnel in 2022, consulting and public company costs, and we expect no future selling and commercial costs at this time.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the periods presented primarily includes interest expense incurred on our Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender, the amortization of related financing costs, and in the current year the resulting loss on extinguishment of debt from Amendment No. 5 of the MAM lender agreement.
Income Taxation
We maintained a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $1.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $0.9 million was a result of an increase in clinical trials costs associated with our NMB portfolio.
38
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses were $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $0.6 million was primarily a result of a reduction in personnel costs of $0.6 million and a decrease in consulting expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in public company costs of $0.3 million.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants and Derivatives. Our derivative liability is our obligation to issue shares of our Series X Preferred Stock and common stock, at the option of the investor in TIT and is revalued at each reporting period. The fair value increased by $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of an increase in our share price.
Change in Contingent Consideration valuation. Our contingent consideration is related to shares held in escrow as a result of the Merger and is revalued at each reporting period. The fair value increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of an increase in our share price.
Other Expense, net. Other expense was $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in other expense of $0.3 million was primarily related to a decrease of $0.2 million in the amortization of financing costs and a decrease of $0.1 million in interest expense related to our Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender due to the reduction in principal balance.
Loss on discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which relates to our discontinued commercial business of ANJESO. The decrease in loss from the discontinued operation of $3.1 million was primarily the result of a decrease of $1.3 million in expense related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration, an decrease of $1.2 million in reduced selling expenses due to the discontinuation of commercialization of ANJESO, and a decrease of $0.6 million in amortization expense.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $4.7 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $3.1 million was primarily due to an increase in operational expenses associated with our NMB program, including clinical and preclinical trials costs, of $2.8 million and an increase in general expenses, including consulting and other outside service expenses, of $0.3 million.
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses were $4.0 million and $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $5.8 million was primarily a result of a reduction in personnel costs of $4.1 million, a decrease in consulting expenses of $0.9 million, a decrease in public company costs of $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million in patent legal expenses and a decrease of $0.2 million in other costs.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants and Derivatives. Our derivative liability is our obligation to issue shares of our Series X Preferred Stock and common stock, at the option of the investor in TIT and is revalued at each reporting period. The fair value increased by $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of an increase in our share price.
39
Change in Contingent Consideration valuation. Our contingent consideration is related to shares held in escrow as a result of the Merger and is revalued at each reporting period. The fair value increased by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of an increase in our share price.
Other Expense, net. Other expense was $3.0 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in other expense of $1.9 million was primarily due to the loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of the fifth amendment to the MAM credit agreement of $2.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in financing expenses also related to our MAM credit agreement of $0.2 million.
Income (loss) on discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $18.7 million, compared to a loss from discontinued operation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $7.8 million, an increase in income of $26.5 million, which primarily relates to our discontinued commercial business of ANJESO. The increase in income from the discontinued operation was primarily the result of a decrease of $17.4 million in expense related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration, a decrease of $8.4 million in reduced selling expenses due to the discontinuation of commercialization of ANJESO, and a decrease of $1.3 million in amortization expense, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in expense related to the impairment of property and equipment in 2023 related to ANJESO.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, pipeline development activities, working capital needs, and other general corporate purposes.
We expect to seek additional funding to sustain our future operations and while we have successfully raised capital in the past, the ability to raise capital in future periods is not assured. Based on our available cash as of June 30, 2023, we will need to raise additional capital in the next twelve months to continue as a going concern.
On May 1, 2023 we closed a best efforts public offering of: (i) 1,326,175 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share and accompanying Series A-5 warrants to purchase 1,326,175 shares of Common stock and Series A-6 warrants to purchase 1,326,175 shares of common stock, at a combined public offering price of $1.15 per share and accompanying Series A warrants and (ii) Series D pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,152,087 shares of common stock and accompanying Series A-5 warrants to purchase 2,152,087 shares of common stock and Series A-6 warrants to purchase 2,152,087 shares of common stock at a combined public offering price of $1.14 per Series D pre-funded warrant and accompanying Series A warrants, which is equal to the public offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Series A warrants less the $0.01 per share exercise price of each such Series D pre-funded warrant.

The series A-4 warrants are exercisable upon issuance and expire on January 8, 2024. The exercise price of the series A warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in the Series A Warrants.

Net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, was $8.8 million.
On May 29, 2020, we entered in a $50.0 million Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender, pursuant to which we have drawn $10.0 million as of the date of this Quarterly Report and may draw upon four additional tranches of term loans. The Tranche Two Loans in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million may be drawn upon on or before August 29, 2021 provided that we generate at least $5.0 million in net revenue in the three consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the date such Tranche Two Loans are funded. The Tranche Two Loans may also be drawn on a subsequent date with the satisfaction of the conditions for the Tranche Three Loans, Tranche Four Loans, or Tranche Five Loans, as applicable, provided that the Tranche Two Loans may not be drawn more than once. The Tranche Three Loans in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million may be drawn upon on or before November 29, 2021 provided that we generate at least $10.0 million in net revenue in the three consecutive calendar months immediately preceding such date such Tranche Three Loans are funded. The Tranche Three Loans may also be drawn on a subsequent date with the satisfaction of the conditions for the Tranche Four Loans or Tranche Five Loans, as applicable, provided that the Tranche Three Loans may not be drawn more than once. The Tranche Four Loans in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million may be drawn upon, subject to the consent of the Lenders, on or before August 29, 2022 provided that we generate at least $20.0 million in net revenue in the three consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the date such Tranche Four Loans are funded. The Tranche Four Loans may also be drawn on a subsequent date with the satisfaction of the conditions for the Tranche Five Loans provided that the Tranche Four Loans may not be drawn more than once.

On August 1, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 1 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, or the Amendment, with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the lenders waived any default under the credit agreement (including the imposition
41
of a default interest rate with respect to the default) resulting from our failure to comply with the minimum cash covenant, or the Minimum Liquidity Covenant, which requires us to maintain at least $5.0 million in a liquidity account. In addition, the Amendment, among other items, (i) provides that 30% of any cash proceeds received by us from certain potential strategic licensing transactions shall be used to prepay amounts outstanding under the credit agreement; and (ii) decreases the amount of cash we are required to maintain pursuant to the Minimum Liquidity Covenant to $3.0 million for a period beginning on August 1, 2022, and ending on August 31, 2022, at which point the amount required pursuant to the Minimum Liquidity Covenant shall increase to $5.0 million.
On October 24, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 2 and Waiver to Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the Credit Agreement is amended such that we must repay the principal thereunder (i) on the first business day of each month until the Interest Payment Date on December 1, 2022, in equal monthly installments of principal based on an amortization schedule of 36 months, (ii) an additional payment of principal in the amount of $0.3 million prior to December 31, 2022 and (iii) commencing on the Interest Payment Date on January 2, 2023 and on each Interest Payment Date thereafter until the obligations have been repaid in full, the principal amount of $0.5 million. In addition, the amendment decreases the minimum cash covenant we are required to maintain under the Credit Agreement to (i) $3.0 million for the period beginning on October 1, 2022, and ending on November 30, 2022, (ii) $4.5 million for the period beginning on December 1, 2022, and ending on February 28, 2023, and (iii) $4.0 million from and after March 1, 2023. Further, we have agreed that prior to December 31, 2022, we shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lenders, make or permit any payment under its agreements with Alkermes. In consideration for the amendment, we paid the Agent an amendment fee of $0.01 million and the Lender an amendment fee of $0.2 million.
On December 1, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the amendment decreases the minimum cash covenant we are required to maintain under the credit agreement to (a) from October 1, 2022 to December 6, 2022 to not be less than $3.0 million at any time, (b) from December 7, 2022 to February 28, 2023 to not be less than $4.5 million, and (c) from and after March 1, 2023 to not be less than $4.0 million.
In January 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement with MAM Eagle Lender. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the credit agreement was amended such that we must make (i) a payment of principal in the amount of $0.5 million on January 3, 2023, (ii) a payment of principal in the amount of $0.3 million on February 1, 2023 and March 1, 2023, and (iii) on the interest payment date on April 3, 2023 and on each interest payment date thereafter until the obligations are repaid in full, a payment in the principal amount of $0.5 million. In addition, the amendment decreases the minimum cash covenant we are required to maintain under the credit agreement, or the Minimum Liquidity Covenant, to (i) $3.0 million for the period beginning on October 1, 2022, and ending on December 6, 2022, (ii) $4.5 million for the period beginning on December 7, 2022, and ending on January 10, 2023, (iii) $2.225 million for the period beginning on January 11, 2023, and ending on February 28, 2023, and (iv) $3.0 million from and after March 1, 2023. Further, we have agreed that prior to April 30, 2023, we will not, without the prior written consent of MAM Eagle Lender, make or permit any payment under our agreements with Alkermes.
On March 29, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 5 and Consent to Credit Agreement whereby MAM Eagle Lender consented to the transactions contemplated by the Transfer Agreement (as defined above) and agreed to release and discharge any liens granted or held by the lenders in respect of the assets discussed in the Transfer Agreement. The parties also agreed to, among other things, amend the minimum liquidity covenants under the Credit Agreement to require that we maintain $2.5 million of liquidity at all times.
In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a Forbearance Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2023, by and among us, the Lenders and the Agent, solely in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent for the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to forbear their rights to exercise any rights and remedies with respect to any default under the Credit Agreement, resulting from the Acquisition, for a period of up to 30 days following the closing of the Acquisition. On July 30, 2023, the parties amended the Forbearance Agreement to extend such deadline until October 31, 2023.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash used in operations was $7.3 million and $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which represents our operating losses less our non-cash items including: stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, depreciation, loss on extinguishment of debt, and changes in warrant valuations, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was attributable to the acquisition of TeraImmune. There was no cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
There was $4.1 million of net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisting of proceeds of $4.3 million from warrant exercises and proceeds of $3.5 million from a public offering of common stock and warrants, partially offset by $3.5 million in long-term debt principal payments and $0.2 million in payments of deferred financing costs. There was $10.5 million of net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consisting primarily of net proceeds of $8.9 million from public offerings of common stock and warrants and $1.8 million of net proceeds from a registered direct offering of common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants, partially offset by a payment on long-term debt of $0.2 million.
42
Cash used in operations from discontinued operations was $0.8 million and $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which represents our operating losses from discontinued operation less our non-cash items including: stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and impairment losses on property and equipment and intangible asset, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities.
There was no significant cash used in investing activities from discontinued operation for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
There was no cash used in financing activities from discontinued operation in the six months ended June 30, 2023. There was $1.0 million of cash used in financing activities from discontinued operation in the six months ended June 30, 2022 attributable to the payment of contingent consideration of $1.0 million.
Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including the following:
We may use existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, debt, equity financing, sale of assets or out-licensing revenue or a combination thereof to fund our operations or product acquisitions. If we increase our debt levels, we might be restricted in our ability to raise additional capital and might be subject to financial and restrictive covenants. Our shareholders may experience dilution as a result of the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. This dilution may be significant depending upon the amount of equity or debt securities that we issue and the prices at which we issue any securities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our 2022 Annual Report. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to the application of critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
44
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2023. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the implementation of purchase price accounting principles related to the Acquisition of TeraImmune. Specifically, we were required to make a number of post-closing adjustments to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the implementation of certain purchase price accounting principles not previously implemented prior to the close of the quarter. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Remediation Plan
Management and our Board of Directors are actively engaged in implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness over the implementation of purchase price accounting related to the Acquisition of TeraImmune. We are enhancing and implementing new processes, controls, and systems to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, we intend to seek additional internal and external resources to aid in our mitigation and increase the level of review over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On June 29, 2023, we completed the Acquisition. Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. Based on those guidelines, our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting will exclude TeraImmune. We are in the process of integrating TeraImmune into our system of internal control over financial reporting.
Other than as set forth above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
45
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Our management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Other than what is set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
If we are unable to meet the initial listing standards of Nasdaq by November 13, 2023, or otherwise regain compliance with the listing standards of Nasdaq, our common stock may become delisted, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise capital.
The listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC provide, among other things, that a company, in order to qualify for continued listing, must (i) maintain shareholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), or Rule 5550(b)(1), and (ii) maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), or Rule 5550(a)(2).
On November 18, 2022, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, or the Staff, informed us that we did not comply with Rule 5550(b)(1). The Staff granted our request for an extension until May 15, 2023, to comply with Rule 5550(b)(1). On May 17, 2023, we received a delist determination letter from the Staff advising us that the Staff had determined that we did not meet the terms of such extension. We requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination and submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”), which request stayed any delisting action by the Staff at least until the hearing process concludes and any extension granted by the Panel expires.
On June 9, 2023, we received a deficiency letter from the Staff notifying us that we are not in compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) and because we effected two reverse stock splits over the previous two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, we are not eligible for any compliance period specified in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). Our noncompliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) serves as an additional basis for delisting of our securities from the Nasdaq and the Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the our continued listing on the Nasdaq. On June 29, 2023, our hearing with the Panel was held and we submitted our plan for compliance to the Panel. On July 24, 2023, we received a letter from the Staff, or the Hearing Decision, notifying us of its decision to grant our request to continue our listing on Nasdaq on a conditional basis, subject to, among other things, our ability to demonstrate compliance with the Nasdaq initial listing requirements by or before November 13, 2023. There can be no assurance that we will meet the conditions set forth by the Staff in the Hearing Decision, or that we will be able to regain compliance with such applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
Furthermore, we believe that our acquisition of TeraImmune will, upon shareholder approval of the conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock into shares of common stock in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), be considered a “change of control” transaction under Nasdaq rules. As such, the Company must meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements. Accordingly, the Company must meet all the requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(a) and at least one of the standards set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(b).
The listing standards of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(a) require the Company to have, among other things:
The Company must also satisfy at least one of the following Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(b) requirements:
46
There is no assurance that we will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements or comply with the requisite Nasdaq requirements to maintain our listing of common stock on Nasdaq. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.
Our business has incurred significant losses since our inception, and we may continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. We may never achieve profitability.
Our business has incurred operating losses due to costs incurred in connection with our research and development activities, general and administrative expenses, and commercialization expenses associated with our operations. Our net losses from continuing operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $14.7 million and $12.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $186.9 million. We launched ANJESO, our first commercial product, in mid-2020, but we have not generated significant revenue from sales of ANJESO, and in December 2022, we announced the discontinuation of the sale of ANJESO and are evaluating commercial partnering options for the product, including divestiture. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, net product revenue was $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to sales of ANJESO in the U.S. Our product candidate pipeline includes early-stage product candidates, including a T cell-based immunotherapy for the treatment of Hemophilia A with inhibitors, two NMBs and a related proprietary chemical reversal agent. If our product candidates are not successfully developed and approved, we may never generate any new revenue. All of our product candidates will require the expenditure of substantial additional development time and resources before we would be able to apply for or receive regulatory approvals and begin realizing product sales. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we anticipate these losses will increase as we continue our development of, seek regulatory approval for, and potentially commercialize any of our product candidates, if approved, and seek to identify, assess, acquire, in-license, or develop additional product candidates. Our prior losses, combined with expected future losses, have had and will continue to have a negative effect on our shareholders’ deficit and working capital.
We expect that it will be several years, if ever, before we have a commercialized product. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as, we:
47
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with pharmaceutical product development and commercialization, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses, and when, or if, we will be able to generate revenue or achieve or maintain profitability.
We may be unsuccessful in obtaining a waiver or amendment to our Credit Agreement with respect to any existing events of default thereunder. The failure to obtain such a waiver or amendment, or otherwise cure any event of default under our Credit Agreement, could allow the lender to take enforcement action against the Company or certain of its assets, including accelerating the loans and other obligations under the Credit Agreement and taking any other remedial actions permitted under the Credit Agreement or applicable law, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to curtail or cease operations.
On May 29, 2020, we entered into the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Acquisition, we entered the Forbearance Agreement, pursuant to which Agent and Lender agreed to forbear form exercising their rights and remedies with respect to certain events of default under the Credit Agreement until October 31, 2023.
There can be no assurance that Agent and Lender will provide us with a waiver of any events of default or agree to amend the Credit Agreement in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms, if at all to the extent any events of default have occurred and are continuing under the Credit Agreement. If we do not obtain an amendment or waiver of such events of default under the Credit Agreement, if any future events of default occur and are continuing or if the Lenders take the position that we have not complied with the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Lenders will not take action to collect payment of our debt or dispose of collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations and could require us to curtail or cease operations.
Our internal controls over financial reporting could fail to prevent or detect misstatements or have material weaknesses.
Our internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls or to timely effect any necessary improvement or remediate any lapse in our internal control and disclosure controls could, among other things, result in losses from fraud or error, require significant resources and divert management’s attention, harm our reputation, causing investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, and expose use to legal or regulatory proceedings, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
As of June 30, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the implementation of purchase price accounting principles related to the Acquisition of TeraImmune. Management is taking steps to remediate these material weaknesses and performed additional analysis and procedures to conclude that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of June 30, 2023. However, we may be unable to remediate these weaknesses effectively, and, even if we do remediate these weaknesses, we may in the future identify additional material weaknesses.
