CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties inherent in our statements regarding:

 

  our projected financial position and estimated cash burn rate;
     
  our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues and capital requirements;
     
  our ability to continue as a going concern;
     
  our need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations, the availability and terms of such funding, and dilution caused thereby;
     
  the success, cost and timing of our clinical trials;
     
  our dependence on third parties in the conduct of our clinical trials;
     
  our ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market and commercialize our product candidates;
     
  the ultimate impact of a health epidemic, on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole;
     
  the potential that results of pre-clinical and clinical trials indicate our current product candidates or any future product candidates we may seek to develop are unsafe or ineffective;
     
  the results of market research conducted by us or others;
     
  our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our current and future product candidates;
     
  our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the potential for us to incur substantial costs from lawsuits to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights;

 

  the possibility that a third party may claim we or our third-party licensors have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights and that we may incur substantial costs and be required to devote substantial time defending against claims against us;
     
  our reliance on third-party suppliers and manufacturers;
     
  the success of competing therapies and products that are or become available;
     
  our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and our ability to retain and attract key personnel;
     
  the potential for us to incur substantial costs resulting from product liability lawsuits against us and the potential for these product liability lawsuits to cause us to limit our commercialization of our product candidates;
     
  market acceptance of our product candidates, the size and growth of the potential markets for our current product candidates and any future product candidates we may seek to develop, and our ability to serve those markets; and
     
  the successful development of our commercialization capabilities, including sales and marketing capabilities.

 

All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include market data and certain industry data and forecasts, which we may obtain from internal company surveys, market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications, articles and surveys. Industry surveys, publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While we believe that such studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources, and we have not commissioned any such information.

Note 1 – Nature of Business

 

Immix Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical pharmaceutical company organized as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2014, which is focused on developing cell therapies in AL Amyloidosis and autoimmune disease. In August 2016, the Company established a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Immix Biopharma Australia Pty Ltd. (“IBAPL”), in order to conduct various preclinical and clinical activities for its development candidates. In November 2022, the Company established a majority-owned subsidiary, Nexcella, Inc. (“Nexcella”), its cell therapy division, which subsequently merged into the Company in May 2024, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. To ensure continuity of operations, the Company re-established Nexcella in 2024 as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the Company’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

 

Risk and Uncertainties - The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, contract manufacturers and contract research organizations, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.

Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that the products will receive the necessary approvals, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed, or the Company is unable to maintain approval, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and other third parties.

 

The Company has expended and plans to continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. The Company may require additional funds to commercialize its products. The Company is unable to entirely fund these efforts with its current financial resources and will need to raise additional funding in the future. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations.

 

Use of Estimates The preparation of these condensed 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company uses significant judgments when making estimates related to the valuation of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, accrual and prepayment of research and development expenses, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Immix Biopharma, Inc. and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries, IBAPL and Nexcella. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For previously consolidated entities where the Company owned less than 100% of the subsidiary, the Company recorded net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling parties.

 

Segment Reporting - The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company at the consolidated level using information about its revenues, gross profit, income from operations, and other key financial data. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as one operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue operations. Since the initial public offering of its common stock in December 2021, the Company has financed its operations through various equity financing. On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an additional ATM Sales Agreement (the “July Sales Agreement”) with the Sales Agent, pursuant to which the Company, may, from time to time, issue and sell through the Sales Agent shares of the Company’s common stock in sales deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “July ATM Facility”) (see Note 7). Initially, the Company is eligible to sell up to $4,200,000 worth of shares of its common stock as the aggregate market value of the Company’s shares of common stock eligible for sale under the July Sales Agreement is subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 until such time that the Company’s public float equals or exceeds $75.0 million. In the event the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75.0 million, then the one-third limitation on sales set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to the July Sales Agreement.

From July 14, 2023 through February 5, 2024, the Company has sold 328,136 common shares pursuant to the July ATM Facility for net proceeds of $1,091,887, after offering expenses. On February 5, 2024, the Company suspended, and is not offering any shares of its common stock pursuant to, the prospectus supplement dated July 14, 2023, relating to the July Sales Agreement by and between the Company and ThinkEquity LLC. The Company will not make any sales of common stock pursuant to the July Sales Agreement unless and until a new prospectus supplement is filed with the SEC; however, the Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

In February 2024, the Company conducted an underwritten public offering of 5,535,055 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $2.71 per share, for net proceeds of $13,565,760, after underwriter discounts and offering expenses (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company granted the underwriter a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 783,970 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was exercised in full on March 1, 2024, for net proceeds of $1,954,594, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses (see Note 7).

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company was awarded an $8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to support the clinical development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy NXC-201 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. The award is payable to the Company upon achievement of milestones that are primarily based on patient enrollment in the Company’s clinical trials. Additionally, if CIRM determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company has not complied with the terms and conditions of the grant, CIRM may suspend or permanently cease disbursements. Funds received under this grant may only be used for allowable project costs specifically identified with the CIRM-funded project. Such costs can include, but are not limited to, salary for personnel, itemized supplies, consultants, and itemized clinical study costs. Under the terms of the grant, both CIRM and the Company will co-fund the research project and the amount of the Company’s co-funding requirement is predetermined as a part of the award. The Company expects to begin receiving funds from the grant beginning in September of 2024. 

 

The Company has a history of, and expects to continue to report, negative cash flows from operations and net losses. While the Company’s estimates of its operating expenses and working capital requirements could change significantly based on feedback from the FDA, test results, changes to the nature or timing of future studies or other research and development activities and the Company may use its cash resources faster than it anticipates, management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements through at least August 12, 2025.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk Periodically, the Company may carry cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000, or the Australian insured limit of AUD 250,000. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company’s cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, tax receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

10

 

 

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

  

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2024 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:               
Cash equivalents (money market funds)  $22,400,473   $-   $- 

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:               
Cash equivalents (money market funds)  $16,113,006   $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Australian Tax IncentiveIBAPL is eligible to receive a cash refund from the Australian Taxation Office for eligible research and development (“R&D”) expenditures under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive Program (the “Australian Tax Incentive”). The Australian Tax Incentive is recognized as a reduction to R&D expense when there is reasonable assurance that the relevant expenditure has been incurred, the amount can be reliably measured and that the Australian Tax Incentive will be received. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $231,247 and $149,349 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $1,142,787 and $221,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Deferred Offering Costs – The Company had capitalized qualified legal, accounting and other direct costs related to its efforts to raise capital through the sale of its common stock under the July ATM Facility. Deferred offering costs were deferred and being amortized ratably upon sales under the July ATM Facility to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the July ATM proceeds. As a result of the Company pausing the July ATM Facility, all of the remaining deferred offering costs were immediately amortized to additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the proceeds received in the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, no remaining amounts of deferred offering costs were capitalized related to the July ATM Facility.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense represents the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s equity awards, consisting of stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan and restricted common stock (see Note 7). The fair value of equity awards is recognized over the requisite service period of such awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the remaining service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved.

 

Research and Development Costs R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist primarily of clinical research fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, other expenses relating to design, development and testing of the Company’s therapy candidates, and for license and milestone costs related to in-licensed products and technology. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged to R&D expense if the technology licensed has not reached commercial feasibility and has no alternative future use. Such licenses purchased by the Company require substantial completion of research and development, regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach commercial feasibility and have no alternative future use.

 

11

 

 

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. The Company estimates expenses incurred for clinical trials that are in process based on services performed under contractual agreements with clinical research organizations and actual clinical investigators. Included in the estimates are (1) the fee per patient enrolled as specified in the clinical trial contract with each institution participating in the clinical trial and (2) progressive data on patient enrollments obtained from participating clinical trial sites and the actual services performed. Changes in clinical trial assumptions, such as the length of time estimated to enroll all patients, rate of screening failures, patient drop-out rates, number and nature of adverse event reports, and the total number of patients enrolled can impact the average and expected cost per patient and the overall cost of the clinical trial. The Company monitors the progress of the trials and their related activities and adjusts expense accruals, when applicable. Adjustments to accruals are charged to expense in the period in which the facts give rise to the adjustments become known.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains (Losses)The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Nexcella, maintain their accounting records in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s operating subsidiary, IBAPL, is located in Australia and maintains its accounting records in Australian Dollars, which is its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated by using the average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated at exchange rates approximating those in effect at the transaction dates. Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and were $18,705 and $(1,449) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(19,477) and $(1,723) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include 1,913,661 shares underlying Pre-Funded warrants to purchase common shares (See Note 7). As the shares underlying these Pre-Funded warrants can be issued for nominal consideration (an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share), these shares are deemed to be issued for purposes of basic loss per common share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included stock options and warrants exercisable for 4,397,488 and 2,168,742 shares of common stock, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment - Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consists of manufacturing space improvements and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

 

Estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:

  

   Useful Life
Operating equipment  3-10 years
Electronic equipment  3-5 years
Office equipment  3-5 years

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss are included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized to expenses as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

12

 

 

Leases - At the inception of a contract the Company determines if the arrangement is, or contains a lease. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has made certain accounting policy elections whereby it (i) does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12-months or less) and (ii) separates lease and non-lease elements of its operating leases as separate lease components. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any finance leases.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company has implemented this ASU effective January 1, 2024, and determined no retrospective changes were necessary.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

 

Note 3 – Prior Agreements with Nexcella Subsidiary

 

Nexcella Absorption

 

On May 20, 2024, Nexcella, was merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Nexcella Absorption”). The Merger was effected pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) when the Company filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger (“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company owned greater than 95% of outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis of Nexcella, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Nexcella Shares”), and 100% of the outstanding shares of each other class of capital stock of Nexcella. Under the DGCL, the only approval required was that of the Company’s Board of Directors for the Merger to become effective. As a result of the Merger, Nexcella ceased to exist and all assets, operations and other property and rights of Nexcella have been succeeded to by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Merger, as a result of the Merger, each of the outstanding Nexcella Shares (other than Nexcella Shares held by the Company) were converted, into common stock of the Company (“Company Merger Shares”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 989,876 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Nexcella (other than shares held by the Company) (including Company common stock issued to third-party cash investors in Nexcella) (the “Merger Shares”). The shares were issued on a pro-rata basis and as such resulted in no change in fair value. In addition, the Company issued to the former participants in the Nexcella 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, 275,759 restricted stock awards to receive common stock in the Company and options to purchase up to 595,676 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $2.47 per share (the closing price on May 17, 2024), under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. As such, as of May 20, 2024, the Founders Agreement and Management Services Agreement agreements listed below with Nexcella are no longer in effect.

 

Founders Agreement

 

Effective December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Founders Agreement with Nexcella (the “Nexcella Founders Agreement”).

 

13

 

 

The Nexcella Founders Agreement provided that prior to a Qualified IPO (as defined in Nexcella’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Nexcella COI”)) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), the Company shall provide funds to Nexcella as requested by Nexcella, in good faith, to be evidenced by a senior unsecured promissory note. In exchange for the time and capital expended in the formation of Nexcella and the identification of specific assets, the acquisition of which benefit Nexcella, on December 21, 2022, the Company loaned Nexcella approximately $2.1 million, evidenced by a senior unsecured promissory note, representing the up-front fee required to acquire Nexcella’s license agreement with Hadasit Medical Research Services & Development, Ltd. (“HADASIT”) and BIRAD Research and Development Company Ltd. (“BIRAD”), and for use as working capital for its research and development activities. The note, which had a maturity date of January 31, 2030, accrued interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum and was convertible into shares of common stock of Nexcella at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment; provided, however, that such note shall automatically convert into shares of Nexcella common stock immediately prior to certain conversion triggers set forth in the note. Nexcella may not prepay the note without the Company’s prior written consent. The note and accrued interest were converted in full prior to the Nexcella Absorption The Nexcella Founders Agreement had a term of 15 years, which, upon expiration, would automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless terminated by the Company upon notice at least six months prior to the end of the term or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement). In connection with the Nexcella Founders Agreement, the Company was issued 250,000 shares of Nexcella’s Class A Preferred Stock, 1,000,000 shares of Nexcella’s Class A Common Stock, and 5,000,000 shares of Nexcella’s common stock. The Class A Preferred Stock was identical to the common stock other than as to conversion rights, the PIK Dividend right (as defined below) and voting rights.

 

Each share of Class A Preferred Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. As a holder of Nexcella’s Class A Preferred Stock, the Company received on each March 13 (each a “PIK Dividend Payment Date”) until the date all outstanding Class A Preferred Stock was converted into Nexcella’s common stock or redeemed (and the purchase price is paid in full), pro rata per share dividends paid in additional fully paid and nonassessable shares of Nexcella common stock (“PIK Dividends”) such that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to such PIK Dividend was equal to 2.5% of Nexcella’s fully-diluted outstanding capitalization on the date that was one business day prior to any PIK Dividend Payment Date. In addition, as a holder of Class A Preferred Stock, the Company was entitled to cast for each share of Class A Preferred Stock held as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on matters presented to the stockholders of Nexcella, the number of votes that was equal to 1.1 times a fraction, the numerator of which was the sum of (A) the shares of outstanding Nexcella common stock and (B) the whole shares of Nexcella common stock into which the shares of outstanding Nexcella Class A Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock were convertible and the denominator of which was the number of shares of outstanding Nexcella Class A Preferred Stock.

 

Each share of Class A Common Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, upon a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Nexcella COI) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), each share of Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock; provided however, if at that time, the Class A Common Stock was not then convertible into a number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of: (a) in the case of a Qualified IPO, at least $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering, or (b) in the case of a Qualified Change in Control, at least $5,000,000 in cash or at least $5,000,000 of equity based on the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control, the Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into such number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering or the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control (or if such Qualified Change of Control results in the Class A Shares being exchanged solely for cash, then $5,000,000 in cash). The Company was entitled to cast such number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Nexcella common stock into which the Company’s Class A Common Stock was convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on matters presented to the stockholders of Nexcella.

 

14

 

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company was entitled to one vote for each share of Nexcella common stock held by it. Except as provided by law or by the Nexcella COI, holders of Nexcella Class A Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Nexcella common stock, as a single class.

 

As additional consideration under the Nexcella Founders Agreement, Nexcella would also: (i) pay an equity fee in shares of common stock, payable within five business days of the closing of any equity or debt financing for Nexcella or any of its respective subsidiaries that occurs after the effective date of the Nexcella Founders Agreement and ending on the date when the Company no longer has majority voting control in Nexcella’s voting equity, equal to 2.5% of the gross amount of any such equity or debt financing; and (ii) pay a cash fee equal to 4.5% of Nexcella’s annual Net Sales (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement), payable on an annual basis, within 90 days of the end of each calendar year. In the event of a Change of Control, Nexcella would pay a one-time change in control fee equal to five times the product of (A) Net Sales for the 12 months immediately preceding the Change of Control and (B) 4.5%.

 

Management Services Agreement

 

Effective as of December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Nexcella MSA”) with Nexcella. Pursuant to the terms of the Nexcella MSA, the Company rendered management, advisory and consulting services to Nexcella. Services provided under the Nexcella MSA may include, without limitation, (i) advice and assistance concerning any and all aspects of Nexcella’s operations, clinical trials, financial planning and strategic transactions and financings and (ii) conducting relations on behalf of Nexcella with accountants, attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals (collectively, the “Services”). At the request of the Company, Nexcella utilized clinical research services, medical education, communication and marketing services and investor relations/public relation services of companies or individuals designated by the Company, provided those services are offered at market prices. In consideration for the Services, Nexcella paid the Company an annual base management and consulting fee of $500,000 (the “Annual Consulting Fee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Annual Consulting Fee payment was not due until first business day of the calendar quarter immediately following the completion of the first equity financing for Nexcella that was in excess of $10 million in gross proceeds, which did not occur. Actual and direct out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in performing the Services were reimbursed to the Company by Nexcella.

 

The Nexcella MSA was terminated on May 20, 2024 in connection with the Nexcella Absorption. In addition, as a result of the Nexcella Absorption, the Class A Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock, and the Founders Agreement ceased to exist.

In the event the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75.0 million, then the one-third limitation on sales set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to the July Sales Agreement. The July Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s prospectus supplement, dated July 14, 2023, filed by the Company with the SEC on July 14, 2023, including the accompanying base prospectus forming a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269100) filed by the Company with the SEC on January 3, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2023.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Indemnifications

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and may provide for indemnification of the counterparty. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against it in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not been subject to any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations.

 

The Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as the director or officer may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such individual in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. The Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of June 30, 2024.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time the Company may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not currently have any pending litigation to which it is a party or to which its property is subject that it believes to be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, and it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting the Company’s overall operations.

Overview

 

Immix Biopharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the application of chimeric antigen receptor cell therapy (“CAR-T”) in light chain (AL) Amyloidosis and autoimmune disease. Our lead cell therapy candidate is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) investigational new drug (“IND”) cleared CAR-T NXC-201, currently being evaluated in our ongoing Phase 1b/2a NEXICART-1 (NCT04720313) clinical trial. Based on early clinical data, we believe NXC-201 has the potential to be the world’s first “Single-Day Cytokine Release Syndrome”, or “Single-Day CRS” CAR-T (CRS median onset day 1, median duration 1 day), enabling the potential for a faster return home for patients. NXC-201 has been awarded Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) by the FDA in both AL Amyloidosis and multiple myeloma, and ODD by the European Commission (“EMA”) in AL Amyloidosis.

 

Our mission is to harness the immune system through innovative cell therapies and other modalities to deliver widely accessible cures in autoimmune and other indications, as we believe patients are waiting.

 

Our strategy is to:

 

  Develop our lead candidate CAR-T NXC-201 in AL Amyloidosis and other autoimmune diseases; and
     
  Pursue development of NXC-201 and additional cell therapy candidates in other applicable indications where CAR-T is not an approved therapy today.

 

Our N-GENIUS platform has produced our clinical-stage lead candidate NXC-201, a next-generation CAR-T for AL Amyloidosis and autoimmune disease, complemented by emerging programs.

NXC-201 is in clinical trials to treat relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis.

 

AL amyloidosis is a life-threatening immunological disorder in which an abnormal protein called amyloid builds up in tissues and organs. This abnormal protein is produced by long-lived plasma cells (“LLPCs”), a type of immune B-cell. The signs and symptoms of AL amyloidosis vary among patients because build-up may occur in the heart (most frequent cause of mortality), liver, kidneys, intestines, muscles, joints, nerves, or spleen, according to the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). Diagnosis is frequently delayed, due to varied and non-specific symptoms including: fatigue, weight loss, shortness of breath, dizziness, and numbness in hands and feet. Upon diagnosis, many patients already have late-stage disease, and are not aware of available treatment options and clinical trials.

 

The U.S. observed prevalence of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis is growing 12% per year according to Staron, et al Blood Cancer Journal 2021, estimated to reach 29,712 patients in 2023. Untreated patients with AL amyloidosis and cardiac involvement have a median survival of less than 1 year, according to Quock, et al. Journal of Comparative Effective Research, 2023. The current market size for amyloidosis therapies is estimated at $3.6 billion, expected to reach $6 billion in 2027, according to Grand View Research.

 

As of June 2024, we have treated 76 patients in our ongoing Phase 1b/2a NEXICART-1 (NCT04720313), of which 63 were relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients, and 13 were relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients.

 

As of February 2024, there are no FDA approved drugs for AL Amyloidosis.

 

In September 2023, the FDA granted ODD to NXC-201 for the treatment of AL Amyloidosis. If a product that has ODD subsequently receives the first FDA approval for the disease for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan drug exclusive approval (or exclusivity), which means that the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same indication for 7 years (except in limited circumstances, such as a showing of clinical superiority to the product with orphan drug exclusivity).

 

In November 2023, the FDA cleared an IND application for NXC-201 to enroll U.S. patients into NXC-201 clinical trials.

 

In December 2023, NXC-201 clinical data in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis was presented in an oral presentation at the 65th annual American Society of Hematology (“ASH”) meeting, covering 10 relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis patients treated with NXC-201, indicating an overall response rate of 100% (10/10) and a complete response rate of 70% (7/10).

 

26

 

 

In February 2024, the European Commission (“EC”) granted orphan drug designation to NXC-201 for the treatment of AL Amyloidosis. Benefits of European ODD include: 10 years of market exclusivity once authorized in the EU; Access to the EU centralized authorization procedure; and reduced fees for EU protocol assistance, marketing authorization applications, inspections before authorization, applications for changes to marketing authorizations made after approval, and reduced annual fees.

 

Our Other Programs

 

Our other programs include NXC-201 for autoimmune diseases, a $25 billion combined annual market size according to Grand View Research and Fortune Business Insights and other preclinical candidates.

 

While our focus is NXC-201 in AL Amyloidosis and autoimmune disease, we continue to collect and organize IMX-110 data in monotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma, a $3 billion market size according to Medgadget, and in combination with anti-PD-1 for colorectal cancer, a $27 billion market size according to IndustryARC, to evaluate next steps.

 

Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to developing product and technology rights, conducting research and development, organizing and staffing our Company, business planning and raising capital. We operate as one business segment and have incurred recurring losses, the majority of which are attributable to research and development activities and negative cash flows from operations. We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities. Currently, our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures, and to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenditures. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance our product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. Furthermore, we incur costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials and our expenses on other research and development activities.

 

Absorption of Nexcella Subsidiary

 

On May 20, 2024, Nexcella, was merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation. The Merger was effected pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) when the Company filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger (“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company owned greater than 95% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis of Nexcella, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Nexcella Shares”), and 100% of the outstanding shares of each other class of capital stock of Nexcella. Under the DGCL, the only approval required was that of the Company’s Board of Directors for the Merger to become effective. As a result of the Merger, Nexcella ceased to exist and all assets, operations and other property and rights of Nexcella have been succeeded to by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Merger, as a result of the Merger, each of the outstanding Nexcella Shares (other than Nexcella Shares held by the Company) were converted, into common stock of the Company (“Company Merger Shares”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 989,876 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Nexcella (other than shares held by the Company) (including Company common stock issued to third-party cash investors in Nexcella) (the “Merger Shares”). In addition, the Company issued to the former participants in the Nexcella 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, 275,759 restricted stock awards to receive common stock in the Company and options to purchase up to 595,676 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $2.47 per share (the closing price on May 17, 2024), under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

Research and License Agreement with Hadasit and BIRAD

 

On December 8, 2022, our subsidiary Nexcella entered into a Research and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hadasit Medical Research Services & Development, Ltd. and BIRAD – Research and Development Company Ltd. (collectively, the “Licensors”) pursuant to which the Licensors granted to Nexcella an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license throughout the world, except Israel, Cyprus and other countries in the Middle East (the “Territory”) to an invention entitled “Anti-BCMA CAR-T cells to target plasma cell” to develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, market, offer for sale, sell, have sold, export and import Licensed Product (as defined in the Agreement). Pursuant to the Agreement, Nexcella paid the Licensors an upfront fee of $1,500,000 in December 2022. Additional quarterly payments totaling approximately $13.0 million are due through September 2026 along with an annual license fee of $50,000. Nexcella has agreed to pay royalties to the Licensors equal to 5% of Net Sales (as defined in the Agreement) during the Royalty Period. “Royalty Period” means for each Licensed Product, on a country-to-country basis, the period commencing on December 8, 2022, and ending on the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim (as defined in the Agreement) under a Licensed Patent (as defined in the Agreement), if any, in such country, (b) the date of expiration of any other Exclusivity Right (as defined in the Agreement) or data protection period granted by a regulatory or other governmental authority with respect to a Licensed Product, or (c) 15 years from the date of First Commercial Sale (as defined in the Agreement) of a Licensed Product in such country.

 

In addition, Nexcella is required to pay sales milestone payments of up to $20 million for Net Sales exceeding $700 million and Nexcella has committed to funding NXC-201 clinical trials in Israel over four years for an estimated total cost of approximately $13 million, spread out on a quarterly basis over that period, which Nexcella believes will generate clinical trial data owned by Nexcella. The term of the Agreement commenced on December 8, 2022 and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, will continue in full force and effect until the later of the expiration of the last Valid Claim under a Licensed Patent or a Joint Patent (as defined in the Agreement) or Exclusivity Right covering a Licensed Product or the expiration of a continuous period of 15 years during which there shall not have been a First Commercial Sale of any Licensed Product in any country in the world. Licensors may terminate the Agreement immediately if Nexcella or its affiliates or sublicensees commences an action in which it challenges the validity, enforceability or scope of any of the Licensed Patents or Joint Patents. In addition, either party may terminate the Agreement if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days. Additionally, Licensors may terminate the Agreement if Nexcella becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy.

 

The license remains with the Company after the Nexcella Absorption.

 

July 2023 ATM Offering

 

On July 14, 2023, we entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (the “July Sales Agreement”) with the Sales Agent pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agent, shares of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the July Sales Agreement.

We agreed to pay the Sales Agent a commission rate of 3.75% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock pursuant to the July Sales Agreement and have paid an expense deposit of $15,000 to the Sales Agent, which will be applied against the actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for all expenses related to the offering including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Sales Agent’s legal counsel up to $50,000, and to reimburse the Sales Agent, upon request, for such costs, fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $7,500 on a quarterly basis for the first three fiscal quarters of each year and $10,000 for the fiscal fourth quarter of each year. The offering pursuant to the July Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of the shares of common stock subject to the July Sales Agreement and (ii) termination of the July Sales Agreement as permitted therein. We may terminate the July Sales Agreement in our sole discretion at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Sales Agent. The Sales Agent may terminate the July Sales Agreement under the circumstances specified in the July Sales Agreement and in its sole discretion at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to us.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9,736,914 compared to $6,096,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which increase was due primarily to the increase in general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, each as discussed in greater detail above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development expenditures and various general and administrative expenses. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

  the scope, timing, progress and results of discovery, pre-clinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates;
     
  the costs of manufacturing our product candidates for clinical trials and in preparation for regulatory approval and commercialization;

 

30

 

 

  the extent to which we enter into collaborations or other arrangements with additional third parties in order to further develop our product candidates;
     
  the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
     
  the costs and fees associated with the discovery, acquisition or in-license of additional product candidates or technologies;
     
  expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;
     
  the costs associated with being a public company;
     
  the costs required to scale up our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing capabilities;
     
  the costs of future commercialization activities, if any, including establishing sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution capabilities, for any of our product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval; and
     
  revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive regulatory approval.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had $23.4 million of total working capital.

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company was awarded an $8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to support the clinical development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy NXC-201 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. The award is payable to the Company upon achievement of milestones that are primarily based on patient enrollment in the Company’s clinical trials. Additionally, if CIRM determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company has not complied with the terms and conditions of the grant, CIRM may suspend or permanently cease disbursements. Funds received under this grant may only be used for allowable project costs specifically identified with the CIRM-funded project. Such costs can include, but are not limited to, salary for personnel, itemized supplies, consultants, and itemized clinical study costs. Under the terms of the grant, both CIRM and the Company will co-fund the research project and the amount of the Company’s co-funding requirement is predetermined as a part of the award. The Company expects to begin receiving funds from the grant beginning in September of 2024.

 

We will need additional funds to meet our operational needs and capital requirements for clinical trials, other research and development expenditures, and general and administrative expenses. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, commercialization, marketing and distribution arrangements, other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, which dilution may be significant, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a common stockholder. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

 

Cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $9,082,817 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $5,607,342 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to our net loss of $9,736,914, offset by non-cash items of stock-based compensation expense of $1,581,114, depreciation expense of $6,889 and right of use asset amortization of $41,256. Operating activities also included an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $119,782, an increase in the tax receivable of $815,290, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $278,480. Net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily related to our net loss of $6,096,244 offset by non-cash items of stock-based compensation expense of $777,575 and depreciation expense of $1,011. Operating activities also included an increase in accounts payable of $1,128,291, an increase in the tax receivable of $47,239 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $1,370,736.

 

Cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $398,987 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, consisting solely of purchase of property and equipment, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash provided by financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $15,948,567 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $4,810,576 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2024 was related to proceeds of $425,724 from the sale of common shares through an at-the-market offering and proceeds of $15,520,354 from the sale of common shares through a public offering. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2023 was related to proceeds of $4,811,393 from the sale of common shares through an at-the-market offering and proceeds of $175,000 from the sale of common shares of our majority-owned subsidiary, Nexcella, offset by payments of deferred offering costs of $175,817.

 

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. As of June 30, 2024, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $63,063,222 and have not yet generated any revenue from operations. Management anticipates that our cash on hand and funds that may be raised pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be sufficient to fund planned operations for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

We will have additional capital requirements going forward and may need to seek additional financing, which may or may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

JOBS Act

 

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

 

We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and (ii) complying with the requirement adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on financial statements. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering (December 31, 2026); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, long-lived assets valuation, variable interest entities, and legal matters. Actual results may differ from these estimates which may be material. “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), and “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2023 Form 10-K describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since the 2023 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

 

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 defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, based on such evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness described below.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that exists as of June 30, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We determined that we had a material weakness because, due to our small size, and our limited number of personnel, we did not have in place an effective internal control environment with formal processes and procedures, including journal entry processing and review, to allow for a detailed review of accounting transactions that would identify errors in a timely manner.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

 

With the oversight of senior management, we continue to work to remediate our material weaknesses, including the addition of accounting consultants. We will continue to evaluate and implement procedures that will strengthen our internal controls. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting controls and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”) as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024 and below. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report, except as set forth below. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report and below, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

 

Economic uncertainty may affect our access to capital and/or increase the costs of such capital.

 

Global economic conditions continue to be volatile and uncertain due to, among other things, consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession and trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, increased inflation, tax rates, and the war between Ukraine and Russia which began in February 2022, and Israel and Hamas, which began in October 2023 and which threatens to spread to other Middle Eastern countries. These conditions remain unpredictable and create uncertainties about our ability to raise capital in the future. In the event required capital becomes unavailable in the future, or more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect the trading price of our securities.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had (i) outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3,999,988 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.03 per share; (ii) outstanding Pre-Funded warrants to purchase 1,913,661 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0001; and (iii) outstanding warrants to purchase 397,500 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $4.11 per share (when not including the Pre-Funded warrants). For the life of the options and warrants, the holders have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock without assuming the risk of ownership. The issuance of shares upon the exercise of outstanding securities will also dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

 

The availability of these shares for public resale, as well as any actual resales of these shares, could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options or warrants or conversion of other securities, or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our common stock may have on the market price of our common stock. Sales or distributions of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

34

 

 

In addition, the common stock issuable upon exercise/conversion of outstanding convertible securities may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of our stock will decrease, and any additional shares which stockholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb shares sold by holders of our outstanding convertible securities, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

A significant number of our shares are eligible for sale and their sale or potential sale may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock. Most of our common stock is available for resale in the public market, including (a) outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3,999,988 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.03 per share; (b) Pre-Funded warrants to purchase 1,913,661 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.0001; and (c) 3,241,076 shares of common stock, the resale of which has been registered under the Securities Act. We have also filed certain Form S-8 Registration Statements pursuant to which we can issue unregistered stock in connection with awards under our equity plans. If a significant number of shares were sold, such sales would increase the supply of our common stock, thereby potentially causing a decrease in its price. Some or all of our shares of common stock, including those discussed above, may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to effective registration statements and/or compliance with Company insider trading policy, Exchange Act Section 16 and/or Rule 144, which sales could have a depressive effect on the market for our shares of common stock. Subject to certain restrictions, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months may generally sell common stock into the market. The sale of a significant portion of such shares when such shares are eligible for public sale may cause the value of our common stock to decline in value.

 

We may not receive the $8 million which we recently learned was granted to us by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company learned that it was awarded an $8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to support the clinical development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy NXC-201 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. The Company has not yet received any funds in connection with such award and may not receive funds on a timely basis, or at all, and such award may come with conditions. The Company is required to complete certain requirements and agree to certain terms and conditions in connection with such grant, which have not been completed or agreed to as of the date of this Report. In the event the award was not received on a timely basis, or at all, or subject to conditions, the Company could be forced to seek out alternative funding which may not be on as favorable terms as such currently expected grant.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 27,880 shares of restricted common stock valued at $67,500 for investor relations services based on the average closing price for the prior 10 trading days pursuant to a marketing services agreement entered into on July 25, 2023.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 15,021 shares of restricted common stock valued at $35,000 for investor relations services based on the closing price pursuant to the extension of a marketing services agreement entered into on May 6, 2024.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company issued 21,282 shares of restricted common stock valued at $45,000 for investor relations services based on the average closing price for the prior 10 trading days pursuant to a marketing services agreement entered into on July 25, 2023.

 

The issuances described above were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients took the securities for investment and not resale, we took take appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipients were (a) “accredited investors”; and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f)) adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”.

Nature of Business

Note 1 – Nature of Business

 

Immix Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical pharmaceutical company organized as a Delaware corporation on January 7, 2014, which is focused on developing cell therapies in AL Amyloidosis and autoimmune disease. In August 2016, the Company established a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Immix Biopharma Australia Pty Ltd. (“IBAPL”), in order to conduct various preclinical and clinical activities for its development candidates. In November 2022, the Company established a majority-owned subsidiary, Nexcella, Inc. (“Nexcella”), its cell therapy division, which subsequently merged into the Company in May 2024, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. To ensure continuity of operations, the Company re-established Nexcella in 2024 as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the Company’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

 

Risk and Uncertainties - The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, contract manufacturers and contract research organizations, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.

 

 

Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that the products will receive the necessary approvals, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed, or the Company is unable to maintain approval, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and other third parties.

 

The Company has expended and plans to continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. The Company may require additional funds to commercialize its products. The Company is unable to entirely fund these efforts with its current financial resources and will need to raise additional funding in the future. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations.

 

Use of Estimates The preparation of these condensed 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company uses significant judgments when making estimates related to the valuation of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, accrual and prepayment of research and development expenses, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Immix Biopharma, Inc. and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries, IBAPL and Nexcella. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For previously consolidated entities where the Company owned less than 100% of the subsidiary, the Company recorded net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling parties.

 

Segment Reporting - The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company at the consolidated level using information about its revenues, gross profit, income from operations, and other key financial data. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as one operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue operations. Since the initial public offering of its common stock in December 2021, the Company has financed its operations through various equity financing. On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an additional ATM Sales Agreement (the “July Sales Agreement”) with the Sales Agent, pursuant to which the Company, may, from time to time, issue and sell through the Sales Agent shares of the Company’s common stock in sales deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “July ATM Facility”) (see Note 7). Initially, the Company is eligible to sell up to $4,200,000 worth of shares of its common stock as the aggregate market value of the Company’s shares of common stock eligible for sale under the July Sales Agreement is subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 until such time that the Company’s public float equals or exceeds $75.0 million. In the event the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75.0 million, then the one-third limitation on sales set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to the July Sales Agreement.

 

 

From July 14, 2023 through February 5, 2024, the Company has sold 328,136 common shares pursuant to the July ATM Facility for net proceeds of $1,091,887, after offering expenses. On February 5, 2024, the Company suspended, and is not offering any shares of its common stock pursuant to, the prospectus supplement dated July 14, 2023, relating to the July Sales Agreement by and between the Company and ThinkEquity LLC. The Company will not make any sales of common stock pursuant to the July Sales Agreement unless and until a new prospectus supplement is filed with the SEC; however, the Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

In February 2024, the Company conducted an underwritten public offering of 5,535,055 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $2.71 per share, for net proceeds of $13,565,760, after underwriter discounts and offering expenses (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company granted the underwriter a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 783,970 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was exercised in full on March 1, 2024, for net proceeds of $1,954,594, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses (see Note 7).

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company was awarded an $8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to support the clinical development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy NXC-201 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. The award is payable to the Company upon achievement of milestones that are primarily based on patient enrollment in the Company’s clinical trials. Additionally, if CIRM determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company has not complied with the terms and conditions of the grant, CIRM may suspend or permanently cease disbursements. Funds received under this grant may only be used for allowable project costs specifically identified with the CIRM-funded project. Such costs can include, but are not limited to, salary for personnel, itemized supplies, consultants, and itemized clinical study costs. Under the terms of the grant, both CIRM and the Company will co-fund the research project and the amount of the Company’s co-funding requirement is predetermined as a part of the award. The Company expects to begin receiving funds from the grant beginning in September of 2024. 

 

The Company has a history of, and expects to continue to report, negative cash flows from operations and net losses. While the Company’s estimates of its operating expenses and working capital requirements could change significantly based on feedback from the FDA, test results, changes to the nature or timing of future studies or other research and development activities and the Company may use its cash resources faster than it anticipates, management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements through at least August 12, 2025.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk Periodically, the Company may carry cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000, or the Australian insured limit of AUD 250,000. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company’s cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, tax receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

 

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

  

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2024 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:               
Cash equivalents (money market funds)  $22,400,473   $-   $- 

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:               
Cash equivalents (money market funds)  $16,113,006   $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Australian Tax IncentiveIBAPL is eligible to receive a cash refund from the Australian Taxation Office for eligible research and development (“R&D”) expenditures under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive Program (the “Australian Tax Incentive”). The Australian Tax Incentive is recognized as a reduction to R&D expense when there is reasonable assurance that the relevant expenditure has been incurred, the amount can be reliably measured and that the Australian Tax Incentive will be received. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $231,247 and $149,349 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $1,142,787 and $221,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Deferred Offering Costs – The Company had capitalized qualified legal, accounting and other direct costs related to its efforts to raise capital through the sale of its common stock under the July ATM Facility. Deferred offering costs were deferred and being amortized ratably upon sales under the July ATM Facility to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the July ATM proceeds. As a result of the Company pausing the July ATM Facility, all of the remaining deferred offering costs were immediately amortized to additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the proceeds received in the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, no remaining amounts of deferred offering costs were capitalized related to the July ATM Facility.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense represents the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s equity awards, consisting of stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan and restricted common stock (see Note 7). The fair value of equity awards is recognized over the requisite service period of such awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the remaining service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved.

 

Research and Development Costs R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist primarily of clinical research fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, other expenses relating to design, development and testing of the Company’s therapy candidates, and for license and milestone costs related to in-licensed products and technology. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged to R&D expense if the technology licensed has not reached commercial feasibility and has no alternative future use. Such licenses purchased by the Company require substantial completion of research and development, regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach commercial feasibility and have no alternative future use.

 

 

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. The Company estimates expenses incurred for clinical trials that are in process based on services performed under contractual agreements with clinical research organizations and actual clinical investigators. Included in the estimates are (1) the fee per patient enrolled as specified in the clinical trial contract with each institution participating in the clinical trial and (2) progressive data on patient enrollments obtained from participating clinical trial sites and the actual services performed. Changes in clinical trial assumptions, such as the length of time estimated to enroll all patients, rate of screening failures, patient drop-out rates, number and nature of adverse event reports, and the total number of patients enrolled can impact the average and expected cost per patient and the overall cost of the clinical trial. The Company monitors the progress of the trials and their related activities and adjusts expense accruals, when applicable. Adjustments to accruals are charged to expense in the period in which the facts give rise to the adjustments become known.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains (Losses)The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Nexcella, maintain their accounting records in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s operating subsidiary, IBAPL, is located in Australia and maintains its accounting records in Australian Dollars, which is its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated by using the average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated at exchange rates approximating those in effect at the transaction dates. Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and were $18,705 and $(1,449) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(19,477) and $(1,723) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include 1,913,661 shares underlying Pre-Funded warrants to purchase common shares (See Note 7). As the shares underlying these Pre-Funded warrants can be issued for nominal consideration (an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share), these shares are deemed to be issued for purposes of basic loss per common share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included stock options and warrants exercisable for 4,397,488 and 2,168,742 shares of common stock, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment - Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consists of manufacturing space improvements and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

 

Estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:

  

   Useful Life
Operating equipment  3-10 years
Electronic equipment  3-5 years
Office equipment  3-5 years

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss are included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized to expenses as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

 

Leases - At the inception of a contract the Company determines if the arrangement is, or contains a lease. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has made certain accounting policy elections whereby it (i) does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12-months or less) and (ii) separates lease and non-lease elements of its operating leases as separate lease components. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any finance leases.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company has implemented this ASU effective January 1, 2024, and determined no retrospective changes were necessary.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

Nexcella Absorption

 

On May 20, 2024, Nexcella, was merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Nexcella Absorption”). The Merger was effected pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) when the Company filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger (“Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company owned greater than 95% of outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis of Nexcella, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Nexcella Shares”), and 100% of the outstanding shares of each other class of capital stock of Nexcella. Under the DGCL, the only approval required was that of the Company’s Board of Directors for the Merger to become effective. As a result of the Merger, Nexcella ceased to exist and all assets, operations and other property and rights of Nexcella have been succeeded to by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Merger, as a result of the Merger, each of the outstanding Nexcella Shares (other than Nexcella Shares held by the Company) were converted, into common stock of the Company (“Company Merger Shares”). In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 989,876 shares of its common stock to the former stockholders of Nexcella (other than shares held by the Company) (including Company common stock issued to third-party cash investors in Nexcella) (the “Merger Shares”). The shares were issued on a pro-rata basis and as such resulted in no change in fair value. In addition, the Company issued to the former participants in the Nexcella 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, 275,759 restricted stock awards to receive common stock in the Company and options to purchase up to 595,676 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $2.47 per share (the closing price on May 17, 2024), under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. As such, as of May 20, 2024, the Founders Agreement and Management Services Agreement agreements listed below with Nexcella are no longer in effect.

 

Founders Agreement

 

Effective December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Founders Agreement with Nexcella (the “Nexcella Founders Agreement”).

 

 

The Nexcella Founders Agreement provided that prior to a Qualified IPO (as defined in Nexcella’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Nexcella COI”)) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), the Company shall provide funds to Nexcella as requested by Nexcella, in good faith, to be evidenced by a senior unsecured promissory note. In exchange for the time and capital expended in the formation of Nexcella and the identification of specific assets, the acquisition of which benefit Nexcella, on December 21, 2022, the Company loaned Nexcella approximately $2.1 million, evidenced by a senior unsecured promissory note, representing the up-front fee required to acquire Nexcella’s license agreement with Hadasit Medical Research Services & Development, Ltd. (“HADASIT”) and BIRAD Research and Development Company Ltd. (“BIRAD”), and for use as working capital for its research and development activities. The note, which had a maturity date of January 31, 2030, accrued interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum and was convertible into shares of common stock of Nexcella at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment; provided, however, that such note shall automatically convert into shares of Nexcella common stock immediately prior to certain conversion triggers set forth in the note. Nexcella may not prepay the note without the Company’s prior written consent. The note and accrued interest were converted in full prior to the Nexcella Absorption The Nexcella Founders Agreement had a term of 15 years, which, upon expiration, would automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless terminated by the Company upon notice at least six months prior to the end of the term or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement). In connection with the Nexcella Founders Agreement, the Company was issued 250,000 shares of Nexcella’s Class A Preferred Stock, 1,000,000 shares of Nexcella’s Class A Common Stock, and 5,000,000 shares of Nexcella’s common stock. The Class A Preferred Stock was identical to the common stock other than as to conversion rights, the PIK Dividend right (as defined below) and voting rights.

 

Each share of Class A Preferred Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. As a holder of Nexcella’s Class A Preferred Stock, the Company received on each March 13 (each a “PIK Dividend Payment Date”) until the date all outstanding Class A Preferred Stock was converted into Nexcella’s common stock or redeemed (and the purchase price is paid in full), pro rata per share dividends paid in additional fully paid and nonassessable shares of Nexcella common stock (“PIK Dividends”) such that the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to such PIK Dividend was equal to 2.5% of Nexcella’s fully-diluted outstanding capitalization on the date that was one business day prior to any PIK Dividend Payment Date. In addition, as a holder of Class A Preferred Stock, the Company was entitled to cast for each share of Class A Preferred Stock held as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on matters presented to the stockholders of Nexcella, the number of votes that was equal to 1.1 times a fraction, the numerator of which was the sum of (A) the shares of outstanding Nexcella common stock and (B) the whole shares of Nexcella common stock into which the shares of outstanding Nexcella Class A Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock were convertible and the denominator of which was the number of shares of outstanding Nexcella Class A Preferred Stock.

 

Each share of Class A Common Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, upon a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Nexcella COI) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), each share of Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock; provided however, if at that time, the Class A Common Stock was not then convertible into a number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of: (a) in the case of a Qualified IPO, at least $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering, or (b) in the case of a Qualified Change in Control, at least $5,000,000 in cash or at least $5,000,000 of equity based on the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control, the Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into such number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering or the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control (or if such Qualified Change of Control results in the Class A Shares being exchanged solely for cash, then $5,000,000 in cash). The Company was entitled to cast such number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Nexcella common stock into which the Company’s Class A Common Stock was convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on matters presented to the stockholders of Nexcella.

 

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company was entitled to one vote for each share of Nexcella common stock held by it. Except as provided by law or by the Nexcella COI, holders of Nexcella Class A Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Nexcella common stock, as a single class.

 

As additional consideration under the Nexcella Founders Agreement, Nexcella would also: (i) pay an equity fee in shares of common stock, payable within five business days of the closing of any equity or debt financing for Nexcella or any of its respective subsidiaries that occurs after the effective date of the Nexcella Founders Agreement and ending on the date when the Company no longer has majority voting control in Nexcella’s voting equity, equal to 2.5% of the gross amount of any such equity or debt financing; and (ii) pay a cash fee equal to 4.5% of Nexcella’s annual Net Sales (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement), payable on an annual basis, within 90 days of the end of each calendar year. In the event of a Change of Control, Nexcella would pay a one-time change in control fee equal to five times the product of (A) Net Sales for the 12 months immediately preceding the Change of Control and (B) 4.5%.

 

Management Services Agreement

 

Effective as of December 8, 2022, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Nexcella MSA”) with Nexcella. Pursuant to the terms of the Nexcella MSA, the Company rendered management, advisory and consulting services to Nexcella. Services provided under the Nexcella MSA may include, without limitation, (i) advice and assistance concerning any and all aspects of Nexcella’s operations, clinical trials, financial planning and strategic transactions and financings and (ii) conducting relations on behalf of Nexcella with accountants, attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals (collectively, the “Services”). At the request of the Company, Nexcella utilized clinical research services, medical education, communication and marketing services and investor relations/public relation services of companies or individuals designated by the Company, provided those services are offered at market prices. In consideration for the Services, Nexcella paid the Company an annual base management and consulting fee of $500,000 (the “Annual Consulting Fee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Annual Consulting Fee payment was not due until first business day of the calendar quarter immediately following the completion of the first equity financing for Nexcella that was in excess of $10 million in gross proceeds, which did not occur. Actual and direct out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in performing the Services were reimbursed to the Company by Nexcella.

 

The Nexcella MSA was terminated on May 20, 2024 in connection with the Nexcella Absorption. In addition, as a result of the Nexcella Absorption, the Class A Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock, and the Founders Agreement ceased to exist.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Indemnifications

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and may provide for indemnification of the counterparty. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against it in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not been subject to any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations.

 

The Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as the director or officer may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such individual in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. The Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations as of June 30, 2024.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time the Company may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not currently have any pending litigation to which it is a party or to which its property is subject that it believes to be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, and it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting the Company’s overall operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the Company’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

 

Risk and Uncertainties

Risk and Uncertainties - The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, contract manufacturers and contract research organizations, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.

 

 

Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that the products will receive the necessary approvals, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed, or the Company is unable to maintain approval, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and other third parties.

 

The Company has expended and plans to continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. The Company may require additional funds to commercialize its products. The Company is unable to entirely fund these efforts with its current financial resources and will need to raise additional funding in the future. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates The preparation of these condensed 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company uses significant judgments when making estimates related to the valuation of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, accrual and prepayment of research and development expenses, and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Immix Biopharma, Inc. and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries, IBAPL and Nexcella. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For previously consolidated entities where the Company owned less than 100% of the subsidiary, the Company recorded net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective non-controlling parties.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting - The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company at the consolidated level using information about its revenues, gross profit, income from operations, and other key financial data. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as one operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

Liquidity and Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue operations. Since the initial public offering of its common stock in December 2021, the Company has financed its operations through various equity financing. On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an additional ATM Sales Agreement (the “July Sales Agreement”) with the Sales Agent, pursuant to which the Company, may, from time to time, issue and sell through the Sales Agent shares of the Company’s common stock in sales deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “July ATM Facility”) (see Note 7). Initially, the Company is eligible to sell up to $4,200,000 worth of shares of its common stock as the aggregate market value of the Company’s shares of common stock eligible for sale under the July Sales Agreement is subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 until such time that the Company’s public float equals or exceeds $75.0 million. In the event the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75.0 million, then the one-third limitation on sales set forth in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to the July Sales Agreement.

 

 

From July 14, 2023 through February 5, 2024, the Company has sold 328,136 common shares pursuant to the July ATM Facility for net proceeds of $1,091,887, after offering expenses. On February 5, 2024, the Company suspended, and is not offering any shares of its common stock pursuant to, the prospectus supplement dated July 14, 2023, relating to the July Sales Agreement by and between the Company and ThinkEquity LLC. The Company will not make any sales of common stock pursuant to the July Sales Agreement unless and until a new prospectus supplement is filed with the SEC; however, the Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

In February 2024, the Company conducted an underwritten public offering of 5,535,055 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $2.71 per share, for net proceeds of $13,565,760, after underwriter discounts and offering expenses (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company granted the underwriter a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 783,970 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was exercised in full on March 1, 2024, for net proceeds of $1,954,594, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses (see Note 7).

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company was awarded an $8 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to support the clinical development of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy NXC-201 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. The award is payable to the Company upon achievement of milestones that are primarily based on patient enrollment in the Company’s clinical trials. Additionally, if CIRM determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company has not complied with the terms and conditions of the grant, CIRM may suspend or permanently cease disbursements. Funds received under this grant may only be used for allowable project costs specifically identified with the CIRM-funded project. Such costs can include, but are not limited to, salary for personnel, itemized supplies, consultants, and itemized clinical study costs. Under the terms of the grant, both CIRM and the Company will co-fund the research project and the amount of the Company’s co-funding requirement is predetermined as a part of the award. The Company expects to begin receiving funds from the grant beginning in September of 2024. 

 

The Company has a history of, and expects to continue to report, negative cash flows from operations and net losses. While the Company’s estimates of its operating expenses and working capital requirements could change significantly based on feedback from the FDA, test results, changes to the nature or timing of future studies or other research and development activities and the Company may use its cash resources faster than it anticipates, management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand at June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements through at least August 12, 2025.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk Periodically, the Company may carry cash and cash equivalents balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000, or the Australian insured limit of AUD 250,000. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company’s cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less when purchased and are carried at fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, tax receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

 

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s asset measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

  

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2024 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:               
Cash equivalents (money market funds)  $22,400,473   $-   $- 

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:               
Cash equivalents (money market funds)  $16,113,006   $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Australian Tax Incentive

Australian Tax IncentiveIBAPL is eligible to receive a cash refund from the Australian Taxation Office for eligible research and development (“R&D”) expenditures under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive Program (the “Australian Tax Incentive”). The Australian Tax Incentive is recognized as a reduction to R&D expense when there is reasonable assurance that the relevant expenditure has been incurred, the amount can be reliably measured and that the Australian Tax Incentive will be received. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $231,247 and $149,349 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized reductions to R&D expense of $1,142,787 and $221,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred Offering Costs – The Company had capitalized qualified legal, accounting and other direct costs related to its efforts to raise capital through the sale of its common stock under the July ATM Facility. Deferred offering costs were deferred and being amortized ratably upon sales under the July ATM Facility to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the July ATM proceeds. As a result of the Company pausing the July ATM Facility, all of the remaining deferred offering costs were immediately amortized to additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the proceeds received in the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, no remaining amounts of deferred offering costs were capitalized related to the July ATM Facility.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense represents the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s equity awards, consisting of stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan and restricted common stock (see Note 7). The fair value of equity awards is recognized over the requisite service period of such awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over the remaining service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been achieved.

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist primarily of clinical research fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, other expenses relating to design, development and testing of the Company’s therapy candidates, and for license and milestone costs related to in-licensed products and technology. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged to R&D expense if the technology licensed has not reached commercial feasibility and has no alternative future use. Such licenses purchased by the Company require substantial completion of research and development, regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach commercial feasibility and have no alternative future use.

 

 

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. The Company estimates expenses incurred for clinical trials that are in process based on services performed under contractual agreements with clinical research organizations and actual clinical investigators. Included in the estimates are (1) the fee per patient enrolled as specified in the clinical trial contract with each institution participating in the clinical trial and (2) progressive data on patient enrollments obtained from participating clinical trial sites and the actual services performed. Changes in clinical trial assumptions, such as the length of time estimated to enroll all patients, rate of screening failures, patient drop-out rates, number and nature of adverse event reports, and the total number of patients enrolled can impact the average and expected cost per patient and the overall cost of the clinical trial. The Company monitors the progress of the trials and their related activities and adjusts expense accruals, when applicable. Adjustments to accruals are charged to expense in the period in which the facts give rise to the adjustments become known.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains (Losses)

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains (Losses)The Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Nexcella, maintain their accounting records in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s operating subsidiary, IBAPL, is located in Australia and maintains its accounting records in Australian Dollars, which is its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated by using the average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated at exchange rates approximating those in effect at the transaction dates. Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and were $18,705 and $(1,449) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(19,477) and $(1,723) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Loss Per Common Share

Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Basic weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include 1,913,661 shares underlying Pre-Funded warrants to purchase common shares (See Note 7). As the shares underlying these Pre-Funded warrants can be issued for nominal consideration (an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share), these shares are deemed to be issued for purposes of basic loss per common share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included stock options and warrants exercisable for 4,397,488 and 2,168,742 shares of common stock, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment - Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consists of manufacturing space improvements and includes the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.

 

Estimated useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:

  

   Useful Life
Operating equipment  3-10 years
Electronic equipment  3-5 years
Office equipment  3-5 years

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss are included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized to expenses as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

 

Leases

Leases - At the inception of a contract the Company determines if the arrangement is, or contains a lease. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company has made certain accounting policy elections whereby it (i) does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12-months or less) and (ii) separates lease and non-lease elements of its operating leases as separate lease components. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any finance leases.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. The Company has implemented this ASU effective January 1, 2024, and determined no retrospective changes were necessary.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

Common Stock, Conversion Basis   Each share of Class A Common Stock was convertible, at the Company’s option, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, upon a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Nexcella COI) or Qualified Change in Control (as defined in the Nexcella COI), each share of Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Nexcella’s common stock; provided however, if at that time, the Class A Common Stock was not then convertible into a number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of: (a) in the case of a Qualified IPO, at least $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering, or (b) in the case of a Qualified Change in Control, at least $5,000,000 in cash or at least $5,000,000 of equity based on the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control, the Class A Common Stock would automatically convert into such number of shares of Nexcella common stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Class A Common Stock) that have a value of $5,000,000 based on the initial offering price in such initial public offering or the implied value of a share of Nexcella common stock resulting from the price paid upon the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control (or if such Qualified Change of Control results in the Class A Shares being exchanged solely for cash, then $5,000,000 in cash).    
Business Combination, Control Obtained Description   (i) pay an equity fee in shares of common stock, payable within five business days of the closing of any equity or debt financing for Nexcella or any of its respective subsidiaries that occurs after the effective date of the Nexcella Founders Agreement and ending on the date when the Company no longer has majority voting control in Nexcella’s voting equity, equal to 2.5% of the gross amount of any such equity or debt financing; and (ii) pay a cash fee equal to 4.5% of Nexcella’s annual Net Sales (as defined in the Nexcella Founders Agreement), payable on an annual basis, within 90 days of the end of each calendar year. In the event of a Change of Control, Nexcella would pay a one-time change in control fee equal to five times the product of (A) Net Sales for the 12 months immediately preceding the Change of Control and (B) 4.5%.
