Description of Business and Going Concern Considerations (Restated) | 1. Description of Business and Going Concern Considerations (Restated) Description of Business Ocean Biomedical, Inc. (“the Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company that is focused on discovering and developing therapeutic products in oncology, fibrosis, and infectious diseases. Restatement The Company reviewed its prior interpretation of the accounting guidance and determined the prepayment amount of $ 51,606,389 (the “Prepayment”), previously recorded as a derivative asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, should be reclassified to the stockholders’ deficit section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the remaining liability balance associated with the Backstop Agreement, including the Backstop Put Option Liability and the Fixed Maturity Consideration, should be reflected as noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, Description of Errors Corrected: The previously reported Prepayment was incorrectly classified as an asset instead of as an equity transaction. Additionally, the associated liabilities (the Backstop Put Option Liability and Fixed Maturity Consideration) were incorrectly netted with the Prepayment and presented as a net derivative asset, instead of being presented as separate liabilities. These errors impacted the Backstop Put Option Liability and Fixed Maturity Consideration, and additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, as well as the related disclosure within Note 4, Fair Value Measurements Additionally, there were errors that were corrected to account for unrecorded expenses and payables, not previously recognized, that impacted the condensed consolidated statement of operations, as disclosed in the below tables.
