Note 1 – Organization and Business Operations

 

Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MDRNA Research, Inc. (“MDRNA”), Cequent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cequent”), Atossa Healthcare, Inc. (“Atossa”), and IThenaPharma, Inc. (“IThena”) (collectively “Adhera,” we or the “Company”), is an emerging specialty biotech company that, to the extent that resources and opportunities become available, is focused on drug development and commercialization of “small molecule” drugs to treat Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Type 1 diabetes.

 

On July 28, 2021, we as licensee and Melior Pharmaceuticals II, LLC (“Melior II”) entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development, commercialization and exclusive license of MLR-1019. MLR-1019 is being developed as a new class of therapeutic and is, to the best of our knowledge, the only drug candidate today to address both movement and non-movement aspects of PD. Under the Agreement, we were granted an exclusive license to use the Melior II Patents and know-how to develop products in consideration for cash payments upon meeting certain performance milestones as well as a royalty of 5% of gross sales.

 

On August 20, 2021, we as licensee, entered into an exclusive license agreement regarding the development and commercialization of Melior’s MLR-1023 (the “MLR-1023 Agreement”) with Melior Pharmaceuticals I, Inc. (“MP1”). We refer to MP2 and MP1 as “MP” or “Melior”. This second license is for the development and commercialization of MLR-1023, which is being developed as a novel therapeutic for Type 1 diabetes.

 

Under the original terms of the MLR-1023 Agreement, if the Company failed to raise $4.0 million within 120 days of the effective date of the agreement, then the MLR-1023 Agreement would immediately terminate unless, by 120 days Adhera was in the process of completing transactions to complete the fundraising then an additional 30 days would be provided to allow for the completion of the raise (the “Raise Requirement”).

 

On October 20, 2021, we as licensee expanded the exclusive licensing agreement with Melior I to include two additional clinical indications for Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and pulmonary inflammation.

 

On November 17, 2021, Melior I extended the Company’s timeline from 120 days to 180 days from the effective of the MLR-1023 Agreement for the Raise Requirement, by 180 days Adhera is in the process of completing transactions to complete the fundraising then an additional 30 days shall be provided to allow for the completion of required fundraising.

 

On February 16, 2022, an addendum to the MLR-1023 Agreement dated August 4, 2021 (the “First Addendum”), was executed by the Company and Melior, which extended the Raise Requirement to June 16, 2022.

 

On July 20, 2022, the Company and Melior entered into the Second Addendum to the License Agreement (the “Second Addendum”). In accordance with the Second Addendum and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Raise Requirement was extended to February 1, 2023, in exchange for a $136,921 licensing payment that was made by the Company on July 28, 2022. In addition, the Company was required to hire and retain a Chief Scientific Officer, and raise an additional $500,000 in capital in addition to other requirements set forth in the Second Addendum and MLR-1023 Agreement.

 

As of February 1, 2023, the Company had not raised the additional $500,000 of capital, commenced API manufacturing, nor completed the Raise Requirement. In March 2023, the Company obtained a verbal agreement with Melior to extend the terms of the MLR-1023 Agreement until such time that the milestones have been met and the Company pays outstanding patent maintenance costs. However, Melior may terminate the license of MLR-1023 at any time due to non-performance of continuing license obligations with a 60-day required notice to cure non-performance.

 

As of March 31, 2023, no performance milestones requiring cash consideration had been met under the MLR-1023 Agreement.

 

To the extent that resources have been available, the Company has continued to work with its advisors in an effort to restructure our company and to identify potential strategic transactions to enhance the value of our company as such opportunities arise, including potential transactions and capital raising initiatives involving the assets relating to our legacy RNA interference programs, as well as business combination transactions with operating companies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful at identifying any such transactions, that it will continue to have sufficient resources to actively attempt to identify such transactions, or that such transactions will be available upon terms acceptable to us or at all. If the Company does not complete any significant strategic transactions, or raise substantial additional capital, in the immediate future, it is likely that the Company will discontinue all operations and seek bankruptcy protection.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information furnished in this Report reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any future period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. and the wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ithena, Cequent, MDRNA, and Atossa, and eliminate any inter-company balances and transactions. All wholly-owned subsidiaries of Adhera Therapeutics, Inc. are inactive.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $69,000 of cash and has negative working capital of approximately $23.1 million.

 

The Company has no revenues and has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has funded its operating losses through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock, convertible notes and secured promissory notes. The Company incurred a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $886,000 and $310,000, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $23.1 million, a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $23.1 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $56.7 million as of March 31, 2023.

 

In addition, to the extent that the Company continues its business operations, the Company anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. However, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to obtain such funds required for our operations at terms acceptable to the Company or at all. General market conditions, as well as market conditions for companies in the Company’s financial and business position, as well as the ongoing issue arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, federal bank failures or other world-wide events, may make it difficult for the Company to seek financing from the capital markets, and the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of its stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing in the future, there may be a negative impact on the financial viability of the Company. The Company plans to increase working capital by managing its cash flows and expenses, divesting development assets and raising additional capital through private or public equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such financing or partnerships will be available on terms which are favorable to the Company or at all. While management of the Company believes that it has a plan to fund ongoing operations, there is no assurance that its plan will be successfully implemented. Failure to raise additional capital through one or more financings, divesting development assets or reducing discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this Report. The consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the resolution of any of the above uncertainties.

Reverse Stock-split

 

On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20. On October 5, 2022, the Company effected the 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock. The reverse stock split did not cause an adjustment to the par value or the authorized shares of the common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company retroactively adjusted all outstanding common stock equivalents including options, warrants, convertible notes and other agreements with third parties.

 

All disclosures of common shares and per common share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $69,000 in cash.

 

The Company deposits its cash with a major financial institution that may at times exceed the federally insured limit. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed the federal deposit insurance limit.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include accruals related to our operating activity including legal and other consulting expenses, the fair value of non-cash equity-based issuances, the fair value of derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company considers the fair value of cash, accounts payable, debt, and accrued expenses not to be materially different from their carrying value. These financial instruments have short-term maturities. We follow authoritative guidance with respect to fair value reporting issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for financial assets and liabilities, which defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. The guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1:   Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
Level 2:   Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
Level 3:   Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company measured conversion features on outstanding convertible notes and warrants as a derivative liability using significant unobservable prices that are based on little or no verifiable market data, which is Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, resulting in a fair value estimate of approximately $5.9 million. The value of the derivative liability as of March 31, 2023, was determined by using the binomial lattice model using the following inputs: 3.36% to 4.64% risk free rate, volatility of 177.51% to 315% and time to maturity of 01.10 years. There were no liabilities or assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2023.

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding equity instruments.

 

Convertible Debt and Warrant Accounting

 

Debt with warrants

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 470-20-25, when the Company issues debt with warrants, the Company treats the relative fair value of the warrants as a debt discount, recorded as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid-in capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets if the warrants are not treated as a derivative. The Company determines the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”), the binomial model or the Monte Carlo Method based upon the underlying conversion features of the debt and then computes and records the relative fair value as a debt discount. If the warrant is treated as a derivative liability, the derivative liability is recorded at fair value and the difference between the derivative liability and debt discount is recorded as an initial derivative expense. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Convertible debt – derivative treatment

 

When the Company issues debt with a conversion feature, it first assesses whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be accounted for as stock settled debt. If it does not meet those requirements then it is assessed on whether the conversion feature should be bifurcated and treated as a derivative liability, as follows: a) one or more underlyings, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in stockholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted

 

In May 2021, FASB issued ASU 2021-04: Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in ASU 2021-04 provide the following guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic:

 

1. An entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument.

 

2. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as follows:
       
  a. For a modification or an exchange that is a part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of an existing debt instrument or line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements (hereinafter, referred to as a “debt” or “debt instrument”), as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option and the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged. Specifically, an entity should consider:
       
    i. An increase or a decrease in the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option in applying the 10 percent cash flow test and/or calculating the fees between debtor and creditor in accordance with Subtopic 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments.
       
    ii. An increase (but not a decrease) in the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option in calculating the third-party costs in accordance with Subtopic 470-50.
       
  b.

For all other modifications or exchanges, as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option over the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged.

3. An entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange on the basis of the substance of the transaction, in the same manner as if cash had been paid as consideration, as follows:
       
  a. A financing transaction to raise equity. The effect should be recognized as an equity issuance cost in accordance with the guidance in Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs.
     
  b. A financing transaction to raise or modify debt. The effect should be recognized as a cost in accordance with the guidance in Topic 470, Debt, and Topic 835, Interest.
       
  c. Other modifications or exchanges that are not related to financings or compensation for goods or services or other exchange transactions within the scope of another Topic. The effect should be recognized as a dividend. For entities that present EPS in accordance with Topic 260, that dividend should be an adjustment to net income (or net loss) in the basic EPS calculation.

 

An entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option to compensate for goods or services in accordance with the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. In a multiple-element transaction (for example, one that includes both debt financing and equity financing), the total effect of the modification should be allocated to the respective elements in the transaction.

 

The amendments in ASU 2021-04 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted ASU No. 2021-04 on January 1, 2022. Management determined such adoption did not have a material impact on the overall stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Not Yet Adopted

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities which include outstanding warrants, stock options, convertible notes and preferred stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss were the same.

 

The following table presents the computation of net loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Series F Preferred Stock   -    231,360 
Total   15,226,886    9,111,903 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees, including stock options, in the statements of operations.

 

For stock options issued, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised if and when a forfeiture becomes probable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates.

 

Note 3 – Prepaid Expenses

 

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, prepaid expenses totaled approximately $35,000 and $47,000, respectively and included prepaid insurance and other prepaid operating expenses.

2019 Term Loan

 

During 2019, the Company entered into term loan subscription agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.7 million. The Company paid $707,000 in debt issuance costs which was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the straight-line method.

 

The promissory notes accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly with the first interest payment to be made on December 28, 2019, and each subsequent payment every three months thereafter. On December 28, 2019, the Company defaulted on the initial interest payment on the loan and the interest rate per annum increased to the default rate of 15%.

 

The unpaid principal balance of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, matured on June 28, 2020. The notes are secured by a first lien and security interest on all the assets of the Company and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries. On June 28, 2020, the Company defaulted on the maturity date principal payment.

 

On June 26, 2021, the holders of the 2019 Term Loans agreed to subordinate their lien and security interest in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the Security Agreement dated June 28, 2019, to the holders of the June 2021 convertible notes.

 

On April 19, 2022, a majority of the noteholders of the secured non-convertible promissory notes of the Company issued between June 18, 2019, and August 5, 2019, which matured on August 5, 2020, consented to forbear collection efforts until September 30, 2022. Accordingly, the collateral agent for the noteholders in consideration of the signed noteholder agreements agreed to forbear all notes outstanding.

 

On November 16, 2022, holders of outstanding promissory notes representing a majority of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Notes, agreed to amend the Notes to make them automatically convertible into units consisting of a new series of convertible preferred stock and warrants upon an up listing financing transaction in which the Company’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE American, in exchange for the Holders agreeing to forbear repayment of their Notes and accrued interest until the Up listing Transaction has been completed.

 

The terms for the amendment of the Notes include no less than the following:

 

  The Notes will automatically convert upon the Uplisting Transaction into the Preferred Stock at 90% of the public offering price;
  In addition, each Holder will receive 0.3 Warrants for every $1.00 of principal on the Holder’s original Note;
  The shares of Preferred Stock will be subject to a six-month lock-up period from date of issuance; and
  The Company has agreed to register the Holders’ sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon the exercise of the Warrants such that those shares will be freely tradeable following the up-list transaction and expiration of the lock-up period.

Secured Convertible Promissory Note – June 2020

 

On June 26, 2020, the Company issued to an existing investor in the Company a 10% original issue discount Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with a principal of $58,055, for a purchase price of $52,500, net of the original issue discount of $5,555. The Convertible Note matured on December 26, 2020. Prior to default, interest accrued on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Note at the rate of 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. The Company incurred approximately $14,000 in debt issuance costs. On August 5, 2020, the Company defaulted on certain covenants in the loan and the interest rate reset to the default rate of 18%.

 

The Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the noteholder at a conversion price of $0.40 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events); provided, that if an event of default has occurred under the Note, then the conversion price shall be 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported on its principal trading market for the twenty consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the conversion notice was delivered. The conversion price shall also be adjusted for subsequent equity sales by the Company. Because the share price on the commitment date was in excess of the conversion price, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $50,000 related to this note that was credited to additional paid in capital and reduced the carrying amount. At the commitment date, the actual intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was approximately $203,000. The discount recorded is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan using the straight-line method.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Note are secured by a senior lien and security interest in all of the assets of the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Security Agreement dated June 26, 2020 by the Company in favor of the noteholder.

Due to the variability in the conversion price of the Note, the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and reflected as a derivative liability with an initial fair value of $398,404 with $297,833 charged to derivative expense and $100,571 recorded as a debt discount.

 

The Company recorded a total debt discount of $220,500 including an original issue discount of $10,500, a discount related to the warrants of approximately $62,220 a discount related to issuance costs of $30,000 a discount related to the issuance of common stock of approximately $17,209, and a $100,571 discount related to the initial derivative value of the embedded conversion feature on the Note all based on the relative fair value of the instruments.

 

The fair value of the warrants on which the relative fair value was based was determined by using a simple binomial lattice model. The assumptions used in the model were a risk-free rate of 0.77%, volatility of 254%, and an expected term of one year in calculating the fair value of the warrants. The discounts are being amortized over the life of the convertible note.

Derivative Liabilities Pursuant to Convertible Notes and Warrants

 

In connection with the issuance of the unrelated party convertible notes (collectively referred to as “Notes”) and warrants (collectively referred to as “Warrants”), discussed above, the Company determined that the terms of certain Notes and Warrants contain an embedded conversion options to be accounted for as derivative liabilities due to the holder having the potential to gain value upon conversion and provisions which includes events not within the control of the Company. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock that may be issuable for warrants and notes with variable conversion features may exceed the Company’s authorized share limit as of March 31, 2023, the equity environment was tainted and all convertible debentures and warrants were included in the value of the derivative. Accordingly, for existing embedded conversion options and existing warrants that were not previously accounted for as derivatives, the Company reclassified $3,462,000 from additional paid-in capital to derivative liability on December 31, 2021. In accordance with ASC 815-40 –Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Stock, the embedded conversion options contained in the Notes and the Warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance or on the reclassification date and shall be adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The fair value of the embedded conversion options and the warrants was determined using the Binomial Lattice valuation model. At the end of each period and on note conversion, repayment or on the warrant exercise date, the Company revalues the derivative liabilities resulting from the embedded option.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2023, in connection with the issuance of the Notes and Warrants, on the initial measurement dates, the fair values of the embedded conversion options and warrants of approximately $687,000 was recorded as derivative liabilities of which $265,000 was allocated as a debt discount and $422,000 as derivative expense.

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company revalued the embedded conversion option and warrants as derivative liabilities. In connection with the initial valuations and these revaluations, the Company recorded a gain from the initial and change in the derivative liabilities fair value of approximately $717,000 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, including a $1.1 million gain for the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for the period.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value of the derivative liabilities was estimated at issuance and at the March 31, 2023, using the Binomial Lattice valuation model with the following assumptions:

 

Dividend rate   %
Term (in years)   0.00 to 1.10 year 
Volatility   178.2% to 310.5%
Risk-free interest rate   3.36% to 4.64%

 

Other than the effect on the derivative valuation recognized in operations, there was no accounting effect to the ratchet adjustments of certain convertible notes to reduce the conversion price to $0.56 in January 2023 since all of the embedded conversion options in the convertible notes were treated as derivatives which are reported at fair value.

The intrinsic value of outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2023, was approximately $1.6 million.

 

As discussed in Note 2 above, the Company has issued convertible notes and warrants with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock and various default provisions related to the payment of the notes in Company stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued under the convertible notes and warrants is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes is therefore, indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock are indeterminable, the equity environment was tainted and all convertible debentures and warrants were included in the value of the derivative as of that date. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities. On March 31, 2023, the Company evaluated all outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments are tainted and, due to reasons discussed above, all warrants outstanding were considered tainted and were therefore, accounted for as derivative liabilities.

 

Other than the effect on the derivative valuation recognized in operations, there was no accounting effect to the ratchet adjustments of certain warrants to reduce the conversion price to $0.56 in January 2023 since all of the embedded conversion options in the warrants were treated as derivatives.

Licensing Agreement – MLR 1019

 

On July 28, 2021, the Company and Melior II entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development, commercialization and exclusive license of MLR-1019. MLR-1019 is being developed as a new class of therapeutic for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, the only drug candidate today to address both movement and non-movement aspects of PD. Under the Agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive license to use Melior II’s Patents and know-how to develop products in consideration for cash payments up to approximately $21.8 million upon meeting certain performance milestones, as well as a royalty of 5% of gross sales.

 

The license agreement terminates upon the last expiration of the patents licensed by the Company, which is presently 2038 subject to any potential extensions and renewals of any of such patents. If the Company fails to have its common stock listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE (an “Uplisting Event”) within 12 months after the Company receives a Clinical Trial Authorization from the European Medicines Agency, then the Company’s commercial license and rights for using Melior II’s data shall terminate. Additionally, if the Company has completed the necessary steps to effect an Uplisting Event, the Company will have the option to purchase all rights held by Melior II on the MLR-1019 licensed products in consideration for 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (immediately post Uplisting Event) and 2.5% royalty of future gross product sales.

 

As of March 31, 2023, no performance milestones requiring cash consideration had been met under the agreement.

 

Licensing Agreement – MLR 1023

 

On August 20, 2021, we as licensee entered into the exclusive license agreement regarding the development and commercialization of Melior’s MLR-1023 (the “MLR-1023 Agreement”) with Melior Pharmaceuticals I, Inc. (“MP1”). We refer to MP2 and MP1 as “MP” or “Melior”. This second license is for the development and commercialization of MLR-1023, which is being developed as a novel therapeutic for Type 1 diabetes.

 

Under the original terms of the MLR-1023 Agreement, if the Company failed to raise $4.0 million within 120 days of the effective date of the agreement then the MLR-1023 Agreement would immediately terminate unless, by 120 days Adhera was in the process of completing transactions to complete the fundraising then an additional 30 days would be provided to allow for the completion of the raise (the “Raise Requirement”).

 

On October 20, 2021, we as licensee expanded the exclusive licensing agreement with Melior I to include two additional clinical indications for Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and pulmonary inflammation.

 

On November 17, 2021, Melior I extended the Company’s timeline from 120 days to 180 days from the effective of the MLR-1023 Agreement for the Raise Requirement, by 180 days Adhera is in the process of completing transactions to complete the fundraising then an additional 30 days shall be provided to allow for the completion of required fundraising.

The Company also agreed to increase the principal amount of prior Original Issue Discount Promissory Notes issued to the investor in May 2022 and January 2023 by 30% as a loan inducement fee. The principal increases totaled $461,904.

 

All of the Warrants issued with promissory notes listed above are exercisable for a 66-month period (five years and six months) at an exercise price of $0.82 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

 

The Notes are due on the earlier of (i) the 12 month anniversary of the issuance date, and (ii) the date on which the Company completes a public offering for cash of common stock and/or common stock equivalents which results in the listing of the Company’s common stock on a “national securities exchange” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a “Qualified Financing”), provided that unless there is an event of default, the Company may extend the maturity date by six months in its discretion. The Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly, subject to an increase to 15% in case of an event of default as provided for therein. Furthermore, at any time before the 12 month anniversary of the date of issuance of a Note, the Company may, after providing written notice to the holder, prepay all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note for cash in an amount equal to the sum of 105% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, accrued but unpaid interest and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Note (if any).

 

The Notes may, at the discretion of the Company, be converted into shares of a new class of convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) on the closing date of the Qualified Financing. In the event of the conversion, the holder will receive a number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon) by (ii) the closing price of the securities issued in the Qualified Financing on the closing date of the Qualified Financing. Upon issuance, the conversion price of the Convertible Preferred Stock will be equal to the closing price of the securities issued in the Qualified Financing, subject to adjustment.

 

The Company will record a debt discount related to the original issue discount and issuance costs for each note and will evaluate the note terms for derivative accounting treatment.

Corporate Overview

 

Nature of Business

 

We are an emerging specialty biotech company with a focus on drug development and commercialization of “small molecule” drugs to treat Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Type 1 diabetes. Companies operating in the drug development and biotech sectors typically in-license early-stage inventions or pre-clinical (stage) compounds from universities and other companies and apply their own drug discovery and development expertise and resources to further these drug candidates towards regulatory approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and potentially other regulatory bodies overseas. The ultimate objectives are to secure regulatory authorizations in the USA and territories internationally, and to generate revenues from marketing activities. Drug candidates may also be licensed (out) to pharmaceutical companies prior to obtaining final regulatory approvals and marketing authorizations for valuable consideration, including upfront payments, milestone payments and royalties.

 

42

 

 

We utilize a “virtual” drug development model, also prevalent in this industry sector. In this model, Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are typically employed to undertake certain drug discovery and development services on the Company’s behalf and under the Company’s direct supervision.

 

On July 28, 2021, we as licensee and MP2 entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of MLR-1019. MLR-1019 is being developed as a new class of therapeutic for PD and is, to the best of our knowledge, the only drug candidate today to address both movement and non-movement aspects of PD. Under the Agreement, we were granted an exclusive license to use MP’s patents and know-how related to MLR-1019 to develop products in consideration for cash payments upon meeting certain performance milestones as well as a royalty of 5% of gross sales.

 

On August 20, 2021, we as licensee entered into an exclusive license agreement regarding the development and commercialization of Melior’s MLR-1023 (the “MLR-1023 Agreement”) with Melior Pharmaceuticals I, Inc. (“MP1”). In this 10-Q Report, we refer to MP2 and MP1 as “MP” or “Melior”. This second license is for the development and commercialization of MLR-1023, which is being developed as a novel therapeutic for Type 1 diabetes.

 

On October 20, 2021, we as licensee expanded the exclusive MLR-1023 Agreement with MP1 to include two additional clinical indications, one for Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and the other for pulmonary inflammation.

 

On November 17, 2021, Melior extended the Company’s timeline under the MLR-1023 Agreement from 120 days to 180 days from the effective of the MLR-1023 Agreement for the Company to raise $4 million unless, by 180 days Adhera is in the process of completing transactions to complete the fundraising, then an additional 30 days would be provided to allow for the completion of required fundraising. On February 16, 2022, an addendum to the MLR-1023 Agreement dated August 4, 2021 (the “First Addendum”), was executed by the Company and Melior, which extended the requirement by the Company to raise $4 million (the “Raise Requirement”) to June 16, 2022.

 

On July 18, 2022, the Company and Melior entered into the Second Addendum to the License Agreement (the “Second Addendum”). In accordance with the Second Addendum and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Raise Requirement was extended to February 1, 2023. Pursuant to the Second Addendum, Melior has a right to terminate the MLR-1023 Agreement as a result of the Company’s inability to achieve certain milestones, including the requirement to:

 

  (i) raise $500,000 in working capital;
  (ii) resume engagement with Davos Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Maladi Drugs & Pharmaceuticals such that the initial steps of MLR-1019 API manufacture were initiated;
  (iii) pay Melior Pharma l, $136,921 as a license payment;
  (iv) maintain the full-time employment of the Chief Scientific Officer who was hired pursuant to the First Addendum;
  (v) continue to engage with Aegis Capital on activities aimed at providing an up-listing event;
  (vi) for the duration of the MLR-1023 Agreement, Adhera will not in-license any additional assets other than those which it has already in-licensed (MLR-1023 and MLR-1019), except for the Taxeme compound (PGT) previously mentioned in the Second Addendum, however, no funds will be expended on discovery or development of the Taxeme compound during this period; and
  (vii) fulfill the Raise Requirement defined in the MLR-1023 Agreement which was extended to February 1, 2023.

 

As of February 1, 2023, the Company had not raised the additional $500,000 of capital, commenced API manufacturing, nor completed the Raise Requirement as defined in the original MLR-1023 Agreement. In March 2023, the Company obtained a verbal agreement with Melior to extend the terms of the MLR-1023 Agreement until such time that the milestones have been met, including payment of the maintenance costs of the MLR-1023 patent. However, Melior may terminate our license of MLR-1023 at any time but only in response to non-performance of continuing license obligations and with the required notice to cure non-performance. Any termination or loss of use of MLR-1023 would have a material adverse effect on our business, which would likely result in the Company discontinuing all operations and seeking bankruptcy protection.

 

43

 

 

To the extent that resources have been available, we have continued to work with our advisors to restructure our Company and to identify potential strategic transactions, including the Melior transaction described above to enhance the value of the Company. Because of our substantial unpaid debt, if we do not raise substantial additional capital in the immediate future, it is likely that the company will discontinue all operations or seek bankruptcy protection.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 are summarized as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended 
(in thousands)  March 31,
2023
   March 31,
2022
  

Increase/

(Decrease)

 
General and administrative expenses   353    260    93 
Total operating expenses  $353   $260   $93 

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation cost of $81,000 related to employing a Chief Scientific Officer in 2022, and an $11,000 increase of other public company expenses.

 

Other Expense

 

   Three Months Ended 
(in thousands)  March 31,

   March 31,
2022
  

Increase/

(Decrease)

 
Interest expense  $(334)  $(311)  $23 
Gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt   39    5    (34)

Amortization of debt discount   (608)   (175)   433 
Total other income (expense)  $(533)  $186   $719 

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $23,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to our outstanding term loans. The derivative liability for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, decreased by $50,000 as a result of a decrease in the fair value of our convertible notes and warrants that were classified as a derivative on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The gain on extinguishment of debt was due to the payment and conversion of principal and interest on our outstanding convertible notes. The increase of $433,000 for the amortization of debt discounts was due to an increase in our term notes outstanding. The loan inducement fee of approximately $347,000 was related to to our 2023 Term Loans.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

 

Working Capital

 

(in thousands)   March 31,
2023
    December 31,
2022
 
Current assets   $ 104     $ 79  
Current liabilities     (23,197 )     (22,265 )
Working capital deficit   $ (23,093 )   $ (22,186 )

 

Negative working capital as of March 31, 2023, was approximately $23.1 million as compared to negative working capital of approximately $22.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in working capital is primarily related to an increase in in current liabilities of approximately $932,000 including an increase of approximately $1.1 million in our promissory notes payable, net of discounts an increase in our accrued expenses of $352,000 including interest for our outstanding notes, offset by a $496,000 decrease in our derivative liability for our convertible notes and warrants and increase of approximately $14,000 in other changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

Cash Flows and Liquidity

 

Net cash used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $310,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. This was primarily due to our net operating loss of approximately $886,000, partially offset by a $717,000 gain related to a decrease in the fair value of our outstanding derivative liability for our convertible notes and warrants, non-cash interest expense related to term loan and outstanding convertible notes of $334,000, non-cash amortization of debt discount of approximately $608,000 and approximately $347,000 of expense related to a loan inducement fee for our 2023 Term Loans.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $216,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was primarily due to our net operating loss of approximately $74,000, partially offset by a $667,000 gain related to a decrease in the fair value of our outstanding derivative liability for our convertible notes and warrants, non-cash interest expense related to term loan and outstanding convertible notes of $311,000, non-cash amortization of debt discount of $175,000 and other changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $44,000.

 

Net cash used in Investing Activities

 

There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, or 2022.

 

Net cash provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $347,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, included approximately $442,000 from the sale of promissory notes and warrants, net of issuance costs to certain accredited investors, offset by the repayment of principal and interest on outstanding convertible notes of $95,000.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was approximately $180,000 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, net of issuance costs to certain accredited investors.

 

While we recently raised $200,000, net of issuance costs as described in the next paragraph, we will need to raise additional operating capital within the several months to maintain our operations and to realize our business plan. Without additional sources of cash and/or the deferral, reduction, or elimination of significant planned expenditures, we will not have the cash resources to continue as a going concern thereafter.

Financing

 

On April 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two affiliated accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold the investors a non-convertible Original Issue 30% Discount Senior Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $285,714 and 452,964 Common Stock Purchase Warrants for a total purchase price of $200,000. The Company received total consideration of $200,000.

 

The Company also agreed to increase the principal amount of prior Original Issue Discount Promissory Notes issued to the investor in May 2022 and January 2023 by 30% as a loan inducement fee. The principal increases totaled $461,904.

 

All of the Warrants issued with promissory notes listed above are exercisable for a 66 month period (five years and six months) at an exercise price of $0.82 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

 

The Notes are due on the earlier of (i) the 12 month anniversary of the issuance date, and (ii) the date on which the Company completes a public offering for cash of common stock and/or common stock equivalents which results in the listing of the Company’s common stock on a “national securities exchange” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a “Qualified Financing”), provided that unless there is an event of default, the Company may extend the maturity date by six months in its discretion. The Notes bear interest at 8% per annum, payable monthly, subject to an increase to 15% in case of an event of default as provided for therein. Furthermore, at any time before the 12 month anniversary of the date of issuance of a Note, the Company may, after providing written notice to the holder, prepay all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note for cash in an amount equal to the sum of 105% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, accrued but unpaid interest and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Note (if any).

 

The Notes may, at the discretion of the Company, be converted into shares of a new class of convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) on the closing date of the Qualified Financing. In the event of the conversion, the holder will receive a number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon) by (ii) the closing price of the securities issued in the Qualified Financing on the closing date of the Qualified Financing. Upon issuance, the conversion price of the Convertible Preferred Stock will be equal to the closing price of the securities issued in the Qualified Financing, subject to adjustment.

 

We do not have sufficient funds to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months. We will require additional funds in the near future to continue our business. Historically, we have raised additional capital to supplement our commercialization, clinical development and operational expenses. We will need to raise additional funds required, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Failure to raise additional capital through one or more financings, divesting development assets or reducing discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting described below.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, was not effective.

 

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), 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.

 

The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

 

  Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, and lack of monitoring controls over the accounting function as the Company has limited accounting staff.;
     
  Lack of qualified accounting personnel to prepare and report financial information in accordance with GAAP;
     
  Lack of a separate Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; and
     
  Lack of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.

 

47

 

 

Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness

 

Providing funds are available, management plans to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies, contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

 

  Identifying gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our personnel necessary to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company;
     
  Developing written policies and procedures on internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures; and
     
  Establishing a separate Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

We will continue to reassess our plans to remedy our internal control deficiencies in light of our personnel structure and our financial condition. We hope that such measures will lead to an improvement in the timely preparation of financial reports and strengthen our segregation of duties at our company. We are committed to developing a strong internal control environment, and we believe that the remediation efforts that we will implement will result in significant improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. However, our significant working capital deficiency may delay remediation.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

General

 

Currently, there is no material litigation pending against our company. From time to time, we may become a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of our business.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks.
