Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report") to the "Company," "Allarity," "we," "us," "our" and similar terms refer to Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., Allarity Therapeutics A/S (as predecessor) and its respective consolidated subsidiaries. On April 9, 2024, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the shares of our common stock (the "April Reverse Stock Split"). On September 11, 2024, we effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the shares of our common stock (the "September Reverse Stock Split"). All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this Quarterly Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains statements we believe are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those forward-looking statements are intended to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by that act as well as protections afforded by other federal securities laws. Generally, words such as "achieve," "aim," "ambitions," "anticipate," "believe," "committed," "continue," "could," "designed," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "goals," "grow," "guidance," "intend," "likely," "may," "milestone," "objective," "on track," "opportunity," "outlook," "pending," "plan," "position," "possible," "potential," "predict," "progress," "roadmap," "seek," "should," "strive," "targets," "to be," "upcoming," "will," "would," and variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this Quarterly Report and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the section captioned "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (the "Form 10-K"), initially filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024.
We urge investors to consider all of the risks, uncertainties, and other factors disclosed in these filings carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by us and reflected or implied by any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results or developments will result in the forecasted or expected consequences for us or affect us, our operations or financial performance as we forecasted or expected. As a result of the matters discussed above and other matters, including changes in facts, assumptions not being realized, or other factors, the actual results relating to the subject matter of any forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report may differ materially from the anticipated results expressed or implied in that forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and we undertake no obligation to update any such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

ALLARITY THERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization, Principal Activities and Basis of Presentation
Background
Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company that develops drugs for the personalized treatment of cancer using drug specific companion diagnostics generated by its proprietary drug response predictor technology, DRP®. Additionally, the Company, through its Danish subsidiary, Allarity Therapeutics Europe ApS (previously Oncology Venture ApS), specializes in the research and development of anti-cancer drugs.
The Company's principal operations are located at Venlighedsvej 1, 2970 Horsholm, Denmark. The Company's business address in the Unites States is located at 24 School Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02108.
Liquidity
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "Financial Statements") have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Pursuant to the requirements of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying Financial Statements were issued.
As a biopharmaceutical organization, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources since inception to research and development activities for its Drug Response Predictor "DRP" in conjunction with the Company's product candidate, business planning, raising capital, establishing its intellectual property portfolio, acquiring or discovering new product candidates, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. As a result, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and anticipates such losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future.
Since inception the Company has funded its operations primarily from sales of its stock. The Company has incurred significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of $111.5 million as of September 30, 2024. To date the Company has not generated any significant revenues and expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million as of September 30, 2024, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the Financial Statements.
While the Company believes its capital resources are sufficient to fund the Company's on-going operations for the next 12 months from the issuance date of the Financial Statements, the Company's liquidity could be materially affected over this period by: (1) its ability to raise additional capital through equity offerings, debt financings, or other non-dilutive third-party funding; (2) costs associated with new or existing strategic alliances, or licensing and collaboration arrangements; (3) negative regulatory events or unanticipated costs related to the DRP; (4) any other unanticipated material negative events or costs. One or more of these events or costs could materially affect the Company's liquidity. If the Company is unable to meet its obligations when they become due, the Company may have to delay expenditures, reduce the scope of its research and development programs, or make significant changes to its operating plan. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis of Presentation
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheet, results of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The financial data presented herein do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended (the "Form 10-K") initially filed with the SEC on March 8, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
Organization and Principles of Consolidation
All intercompany transactions and balances, including unrealized profits from intercompany sales, have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Foreign currency and currency translation
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity's operations are conducted. The Company and its subsidiaries operate mainly in Denmark and the United States. The functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries are their local currency.
The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Denmark subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net loss for the respective periods. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate translations are included in other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
Adjustments that arise from exchange rate translations are included in other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded accumulated foreign currency translation losses of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded accumulated foreign currency translation losses of $0.3 million and $37,000, respectively.
Concentrations of credit risk and of significant suppliers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions in amounts that could exceed government-insured limits. The Company does not believe it is subject to additional credit risks beyond those normally associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company has not experienced losses on its cash and cash equivalents accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk regarding these deposits is not significant. The Company is dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities in its programs. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of manufacturers to supply its requirements for supplies and raw materials related to these programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in these manufacturing services or the availability of raw materials.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits primarily in financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with shareholders. The Company records unrealized gains and losses related to foreign currency translation and instrument specific credit risk as components of other accumulated comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's other comprehensive gain was comprised of currency translation adjustments.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. All ASUs issued through the date of the Financial Statements were assessed and determined not to be applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires that an entity report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendment in the ASU is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statement disclosures.
3. Intangible assets
The Company's IPR&D assets have been classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company's individual material development project in progress, stenoparib, is recorded at $0and $9.8 million on September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Company has halted enrollment in the ongoing Phase 2 trial of stenoparib and is focused on the development of a follow-on trial with FDA regulatory intent. These developments prompted an updated impairment assessment of the Company's intangible assets utilizing a discounted cash flow model with a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") of 26%. As a result of the updated impairment assessment, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $9.7 million and foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, with no comparable expense in 2023.
4. Accrued liabilities
The Company's accrued liabilities are comprised of the following:

5. Convertible promissory note due to Novartis
On January 26, 2024, the Company received a termination notice from Novartis Pharma AG, a company organized under the laws of Switzerland ("Novartis") due to a material breach of that certain license agreement dated April 6, 2018, as amended to date (the "License Agreement"). Accordingly, under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company ceased all development and commercialization activities with respect to all licensed products, all rights and licenses granted by Novartis to the Company reverted to Novartis; and all liabilities due to Novartis became immediately due and payable inclusive of interest which is continuing to accrue at 5% per annum. As of September 30, 2024, the liability is recorded as a current liability on the Company's condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheets as follows: $3.6 million in accounts payable, $1.3 million convertible promissory notes and accrued interest, net of debt discount, and $0.2 million in accrued liabilities.
6. Convertible senior promissory notes due to 3i, LP ("3i")
3i Convertible Senior Promissory Notes (2024) (collectively the "2024 Notes") |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA"), as amended, with 3i, pursuant to which three senior convertible promissory notes were issued as follows:
i. |
On January 18, 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of $440,000 due on January 18, 2025, and with a set conversion price of $268.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, representing an approximate 10% original issue discount (the "First Note"). |
ii. |
On February 13, 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of $440,0000 due on February 13, 2025, and with a set conversion price of $243.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, representing an approximately 10% original issue discount (the "Second Note"). |
iii. |
On March 14, 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of $660,000 due on March 14, 2025, and with a set conversion price of $210.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $600,000, representing an approximately 10% original issue discount (the "Third Note"). |
The Company agreed to pay interest to 3i on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the 2024 Notes at the rate of 8% per annum with interest payments commencing one month after the initial receipt of net proceeds. The interest on each of the 2024 Notes is payable in cash or, at the 3i's option, in shares of the Company's common stock, at 90% of the lowest VWAP during the previous ten trading days that is immediately prior to the interest payment dates. Under the terms of the 2024 Notes, 3i has the exclusive right to choose whether to receive interest payments in cash or as shares of the Company's common stock.
Redemption
Subject to the provisions of the 2024 Notes, if, at any time while the 2024 Notes are outstanding, the Company engages in one or more subsequent financings, 3i may require the Company to first use up to 100% of the gross proceeds of such financing to redeem all or a portion of the 2024 Notes at 105%. However, if the Company were to raise capital in the Sales Agreement (see Note 9), 3i may request up to 20% of the proceeds to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at the stated value.
The 2024 Notes and accrued interest were redeemed in full and cancelled on May 6, 2024.
3i Convertible Secured Promissory Notes (2023) |
On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Secured Note Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with 3i, whereby the Company authorized the sale and issuance of three Secured Promissory Notes (each a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes"). Effective November 28, 2022, the Company issued: (1) a Note in the principal amount of $1.7 million as payment of $1.7 million due to 3i in Alternative Conversion Floor Amounts (as defined in the Notes) that began to accrue on July 14, 2022; and (2) a Note in the principal amount of $0.4 million in exchange for cash. Effective December 30, 2022, the Company issued an additional Note in the principal amount of $0.7 million in exchange for cash.
Each Note matured on January 1, 2024, carried an interest rate of 5% per annum, and was secured by all of the Company's assets pursuant to a security agreement (the "Security Agreement"). In addition, the holder was able to exchange the Notes for the Company's shares of common stock at an exchange price equal to the lowest price per share of the equity security sold to other purchasers, rounded down to the nearest whole share, if the Company concluded a future equity financing prior to the maturity date or other repayment of such promissory note. Lastly, each Note and interest earned thereon was able to be redeemed by the Company at its option at any time or the holder may demand redemption if a) the Company obtains gross proceeds of at least $5 million in a financing in an amount of up to 35% of the gross proceeds of the financing or b) there is an Event of Default (as defined in the Note agreement). Discounts to the principal amounts were included in the carrying value of the Notes and amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the underlying debt. The Company recorded a $34,000 debt discount upon issuance of the Notes related to legal fees paid that were capitalized as debt issuance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest expense totaled $43,000, comprised of $33,000 for contractual interest and $10,000 for the amortization of the debt discount.
The 3i Convertible Secured Promissory Notes were paid in full and cancelled on April 21, 2023.
7. Preferred Stock
August 2024 Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
On August 19, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "August 2024 SPA") with certain purchasers (the "August 2024 Purchasers"), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold, in a private placement (the "August 2024 Offering"), 35,000 shares of the Company's Convertible Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "August 2024 Preferred Stock"), for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million in the aggregate for the August 2024 Offering, after the deduction of discounts, fees and offering expenses. In connection with the August 2024 Offering, the Company paid $0.2 million to Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, the Company's placement agent.
On the Closing Date, the Company filed a certificate of designation (the "August 2024 COD") with the Secretary of the State of Delaware designating the rights, preferences and limitations of the August 2024 Preferred Stock. Under the August 2024 COD, for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the August 2024 Preferred Stock were entitled to vote and the voting power of the August 2024 Preferred Stock, each holder of the August 2024 Preferred Stock was entitled to a number of votes equal to shares of the Company's common stock into which such August 2024 Preferred Stock are then convertible, disregarding, for such purposes, any limitations on conversion. The August 2024 Preferred Stock were entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders generally and shall vote together with the common stock and any other class or series of capital stock entitled to vote thereon as a single class and on an as converted to the common stock basis.
The holders of the August 2024 Preferred Stock were entitled to dividends, on an as-if converted basis, equal to dividends actually paid, if any, on the common stock. The August 2024 Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holders and, in certain circumstances, by the Company, into common stock, as determined by dividing the net purchase price of $90 per share by the conversion price of $5.10, at the option of the holders.
On the Closing Date, the Company and the August 2024 Purchasers also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "August 2024 RRA"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC, to register for resale the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the August 2024 Preferred Stock. The registration statement was filed with the SEC on August 30, 2024.
All of the August 2024 Preferred Stock was redeemed in September 2024. As a result of the redemption of the August 2024 Preferred Stock, the Company presented a deemed dividend of $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants |
Amendments to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Determination of Conversion Price Adjustments for Series A Preferred Stock |
On December 9, 2022, the Company and 3i entered into a letter agreement (the "2022 Letter Agreement") which provided that pursuant to Section 8(g) of the Company's Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock (the "COD"), the Company and 3i agreed that the Conversion Price (as defined in the COD) was modified to mean the lower of: (i) the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the COD) on the trading date immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in the COD) and (ii) the average Closing Sale Price (as defined in the COD) of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in the COD), for the Trading Days (as defined in the COD) through and inclusive of January 19, 2023. Any conversion which occurs shall be voluntary at the election of 3i, which shall evidence its election as to the Series A Preferred Stock being converted in writing on a conversion notice setting forth the then Minimum Price (as defined in the COD). Management determined that the adjustment made to the Conversion Price is not a modification of the COD which allows for adjustments to the Conversion Price (as defined in the COD) at any time by the Company and the other terms of the COD remained unchanged.
On January 23, 2023, the Company and 3i amended the 2022 Letter Agreement, to provide that the modification of the term Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price (the "Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price") to mean the lower of: (i) the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the COD) on the trading date immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in the COD and (ii) the average Closing Sale Price (as defined in the COD) of the Company's shares of common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in the COD), for the Trading Days (as defined in the COD) will be in effect until terminated by the Company and 3i.
Modification to Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock and 3i Exchange Warrants |

Also on January 14, 2024, the conversion price of the outstanding 1,417 shares of Series A Preferred Stock was revised from $600.00 to $268.50.

As of January 14, 2024, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the 1,417 Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at $2.0 million versus their carrying value of $1.7 million. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a deemed dividend of $228,000 as at January 14, 2024. At a stated value of $1.1 million for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, the revised price of $268.50 per share results in the 1,417 shares being convertible into 5,699 shares of common stock as of January 14, 2024.

The Company filed the Sixth Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated COD (the "Sixth Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to reflect the new conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock of $243.00. As of February 14, 2024, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the then 1,296 Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and concluded there was a gain on extinguishment of $122,000. At a stated value of $1.1 million for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, the revised price of $243.00 per share results in the 1,296 shares being convertible into 16,453 shares of common stock.
On March 14, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Third Note, the Company modified the conversion price of the 3i Exchange Warrants from $234.00 to $210.00 and thereby increased the number of Exchange Warrants outstanding from 18,137 on February 13, 2024, to 27,648 on March 14, 2024. The Company filed the Seventh Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated COD (the "Seventh Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to reflect the new conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock of $210.00. As of March 14, 2024, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the then 1,296 Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and concluded there was a gain on extinguishment of $69,000. At a stated value of $1.1 million for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, the revised price of $210.00 per share results in the 1,215 shares being convertible into 17,843 shares of common stock.
During the period April 1, 2024, through May 2, 2024, the Company amended the conversion prices of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Exchange Warrants and the 2024 Notes to equal the current last sale price of its shares of common stock of $34.50 as of May 1, 2024.

Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized through earnings for as long as the contracts continue to be classified as a liability. The measurement of fair value is determined utilizing an appropriate valuation model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance and at each reporting period (i.e., share price, exercise price, term, volatility, risk-free rate and expected dividend rate).

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "2023 SPA") with 3i for the purchase and sale of 50,000 shares of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $24.00 per share, for a subscription receivable in the aggregate amount equal to the total purchase price of $1.2 million (the "Series C Offering"). The 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the "Shares") are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the terms of the Series C Certificate of Designation ("Series C COD").
The Company evaluated the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock as required pursuant to ASC 570, 480, 815 and ASU 2020-06, and concluded the Series C Preferred Stock fair value to be $1.2 million, net of share issuance costs of $40,000, and accreted to redemption value of $1.5 million on April 21, 2023, using the effective interest method. Effective April 21, 2023, all of the 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred stock were exchanged for 5,577 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at an agreed value of $1.7 million.
The Company treated the exchange of Series C Preferred Stock for Series A Preferred Stock as an extinguishment as there has been a fundamental change in the nature of the instrument and applied the derecognition accounting model in ASC 260-10-S99-2. Accordingly, the Company had recognized the difference between (1) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred shares of $5.2 million, and (2) the carrying amount of the preferred shares (net of issuance costs), of $1.2 million as a deemed dividend of $4.0 million that is deducted from additional paid in capital and subtracted from net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of loss per common share.

Reverse Stock Splits
On April 4, 2024, the Company filed a Fifth Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the "April Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's shares of common stock effective as of April 9, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the April Reverse Stock Split. If, as a result of the April Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share, each fractional share was rounded up to the next whole number. The April Reverse Stock Split resulted in a reduction of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2024, from 228,487 to 11,426. The par value of the Company's authorized stock remained unchanged at $0.0001.

As a result of the September Reverse Stock Split, every 30 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the September Reverse Stock Split were combined and converted into one share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. The September Reverse Stock Split became effective on September 11, 2024, and the common stock was quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on a post-split basis at the open of business on September 11, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the September Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fraction of one share of common stock as a result of the September Reverse Stock Split instead received one whole share of common stock. The Company issued 97,190 shares of common stock to shareholders who had been entitled to a fraction of one share.

On January 26, 2024, the Company received a termination notice from Novartis due to a material breach of the License Agreement. Accordingly, under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company ceased all development and commercialization activities with respect to all licensed products, all rights and licenses granted by Novartis to the Company reverted to Novartis; and all liabilities due to Novartis became immediately due and payable inclusive of interest which is continuing to accrue at 5% per annum. As of September 30, 2024, the liability is recorded as a current liability on the Company's condensed unaudited consolidated balance sheets as follows: $3.6 million in accounts payable, $1.3 million convertible promissory notes and accrued interest, net of debt discount, and $0.2 million in accrued liabilities.
License Agreement with Eisai Inc. for Stenoparib
The Company holds the exclusive worldwide rights to all preventative, therapeutic and/or diagnostic uses related to cancer in humans and by amendment to the agreement on December 11, 2020, viral infections in humans (including, but not limited to, coronaviruses) for stenoparib from Eisai, Inc. ("Eisai") pursuant to a license agreement (the "Eisai License Agreement"). Pursuant to the Eisai License Agreement, the Company is solely responsible for the development of stenoparib during the term of the Eisai License Agreement. Eisai License Agreement also provides for a joint development committee consisting of six members, three appointed by the Company and three appointed by Eisai. One of the Company's members of the joint development committee is designated chair of the committee and has the power to break any deadlock in decisions by the committee that must be made by a majority vote with each representative having one vote. The purpose of the committee is to implement and oversee development activities for stenoparib pursuant to the clinical development plan, serving as a forum for exchanging data, information and development strategy.
Effective July 12, 2022, the Company's July 6, 2017 Exclusive License Agreement with Eisai Inc. (the "Third Amendment"), the terms of the original exclusive license were further amended in order to (1) further postpone the due date of the extension payment and extend the deadline for the Company's successful completion of its first Phase 1b or Phase 2 clinical trial for stenoparib beyond December 31, 2022; and (2) amend terms related to Eisai's right of termination of development.
On May 26, 2023, the Company and Eisai entered into a fourth amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement with an effective date of May 16, 2023, to postpone the extension payment, restructure the payment schedule and extend the deadline to complete enrollment in a further Phase 1b or Phase 2 Clinical Trial for the stenoparib. The Company agreed to pay Eisai in periodic payments as follows: (i) $100,000, which has been paid; (ii) $50,000 within 10 days of execution of the fourth amendment, which has been paid; (iii) $100,000 upon completion of a capital raise, which has been paid; and (iv) $850,000 on or before March 1, 2024.
On February 26, 2024, in exchange for an additional $0.2 million, paid as of May 1, 2024, the Company and Eisai entered into a fifth amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement to postpone the payment of $850,000. The Company agreed to make a one-time payment to Eisai of $850,000 upon completion of a ten-million dollar capital raising campaign, no later than September 1, 2024. The Company paid Eisai $850,000 on August 20, 2024 and no payments are currently outstanding.
On August 2, 2024, the Company and Eisai entered into a sixth amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement with an effective date of August 2, 2024. The terms of the amended exclusive license were further amended in order to (1) amend the definition of a successful completion and (2) amend the terms related to Eisai's right of termination for development.
Development Milestone Payments
The Company has agreed to make milestone payments to Eisai in connection with the development of stenoparib by the Company or its affiliates, or by a third-party program acquirer that assumes control of the stenoparib development program from the Company corresponding to: (i) successful completion of a Phase 2 clinical trial; (ii) upon dosing of the first patient in the first Phase 3 clinical trial; (iii) upon submission of the first NDA with the FDA; (iv) submission of an MAA to the EMA; (v) submission of an NDA to the MHLW in Japan; (vi) upon receipt of authorization by the FDA to market and sell a licensed product; (vii) upon receipt of approval of an MAA by the EMA for a licensed product; and (viii) upon receipt of approval by the MHLW in Japan for a licensed product. If all milestones have been achieved, the Company may be obligated to pay Eisai up to a maximum of $94 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Eisai a one-time sales milestone payment in the amount of $50 million the first time the Company's annual sales of licensed product is $1 billion or more.
Royalty Payments
In addition to the milestone payments described above, the Company has agreed to pay Eisai royalties based on annual incremental sales of product derived from stenoparib in an amount between 5% and 10% of annual sales of between $0 and $100 million, between 6% and 10% of annual sales between $100 million and $250 million, between 7% and 11% of annual sales between $250 million and $500 million, and between 11% and 15% of annual sales in excess of $500 million.
The Company is obligated to pay royalties under the agreement on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis for a period that commences with the first commercial sale of a product in such country and expiring on the later of (i) the expiration of the last valid claim of any and all Eisai patents, OV patents and joint patents covering such product in such country; or, (ii) the 15 year anniversary of the date of first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country. However, the agreement may be terminated sooner without cause by the Company upon 120 days prior written notice, or upon written notice of a material breach of the agreement by Eisai that is not cured within 90 days (30 days for a payment default).
Eisai also has the right to terminate the agreement upon written notice of a material breach of the agreement by the Company that is not cured within 90 days (30 days for a payment default) or if the Company files for bankruptcy.
Option to Reacquire Rights to Stenoparib
For the period commencing with enrollment of the first five patients in a Phase 2 clinical trial pursuant to the clinical development plan and ending 90 days following successful completion of such Phase 2 clinical trial, Eisai has the option to reacquire the Company's licensed rights to develop stenoparib for a purchase price equal to the fair market value of the Company's rights, giving effect to the stage of development of stenoparib that the Company has completed under the agreement. The Company commenced a Phase 2 clinical trial April 15, 2019, and as of the date of the Financial Statements, Eisai has not indicated an intention to exercise its repurchase option.
11. Related party
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Thomas H. Jensen, a director of the Company, was paid $0 and $0.2 million, respectively, in fees as a consultant. Effective June 1, 2024, the Company executed a Chief Executive Officer Management Services Agreement with Thomas H. Jensen.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Thomas H. Jensen was paid $32,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, in fees as a consultant.
12. Loss per share of common stock
Basic loss per share is derived by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, of the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock unless such effect is anti-dilutive. In calculating the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders, the weighted average number of shares remained the same for both calculations because when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding, as determined by the latest applicable conversion price, that have been excluded from diluted loss per share due to being anti-dilutive include the following:

13. Financial Instruments
The following tables present information about the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level of the fair value hierarchy used to determine such fair values:

Methods used to estimate the fair values of the Company's financial instruments, not disclosed elsewhere in the Financial Statements, are as follows:
When available, the Company's marketable securities are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. If the Company is unable to value its marketable securities using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, the Company values its investments using broker reports that utilize quoted market prices for comparable instruments. The Company has no financial assets or liabilities measured using Level 2 inputs. Financial assets and liabilities are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods described in Note 8. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using terms in the notes that are subject to volatility and market price of the underlying shares of common stock.
The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the date the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. There were no transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification
In accordance with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and indemnification agreements, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company's request in such capacity.
SEC Investigation
On July 19, 2024, the Company received a "Wells Notice" from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company's previously disclosed SEC investigation. The Wells Notice relates to the Company's disclosures regarding meetings with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") regarding the Company's NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP, which was submitted to the FDA in 2021. The Company understands that all conduct relating to the SEC Wells Notice occurred during or prior to fiscal year 2022. The Company also understands that three of its former officers received Wells Notices from the SEC relating to the same conduct. A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law. The Wells Notice informed the Company that the SEC Staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company that would allege certain violations of the federal securities laws. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the SEC and maintains that its actions were appropriate, and pursuing the Wells Notice process.
Nasdaq Delisting Notifications
On June 18, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of Nasdaq indicating that the Company has not complied with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") which is the requirement that for 30 consecutive business days the bid price for the Company's common stock close above the $1 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq. On July 30, 2024, the Company attended a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), and by decision date August 15, 2024, the Panel granted the Company's request for an extension through September 6, 2024 to obtain shareholder approval for a reverse split at a ratio that will allow the Company to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule. This approval was granted by Allarity's shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 3, 2024. On October 9, 2024, the Company was formally notified by the Staff that the Company has evidenced compliance with the Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Class Action
On September 13, 2024, a purported class action captioned Osman Mukeljic v. Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., et al, 1:24-cv-06952, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. The complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information related to Dovitinib NDA's continued regulatory prospects and purported misconduct in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and/or the Dovitinib-DRP PMA. The complaint asserts violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder against all defendants as well as violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 against the individual defendants. The Company believes that the class action is without merit and plans to vigorously defend itself against these claims. At this time, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuits and the Company cannot currently estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, that it may experience in connection with this litigation.

Through the use of our Drug Response Predictor (DRP®) platform, we identify the value in drug assets that have otherwise been discontinued by identifying patient populations where these drugs are active. Our lead drug candidate, stenoparib, is a small molecule dual inhibitor of the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP 1/2) as well as tankyrase 1/2.
Recent Developments
Nasdaq Delisting Notifications
On June 18, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of Nasdaq indicating that the we have not complied with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") which is the requirement that for 30 consecutive business days the bid price for our common stock close above the $1 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"). On June 27, 2024, we were granted a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). On July 30, 2024, we attended a hearing before the Panel, and by decision date August 15, 2024, the Panel granted our request for an extension through September 6, 2024 to obtain shareholder approval for a reverse split at a ratio that will allow us to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule. This approval was granted by our shareholders at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 3, 2024. On October 9, 2024, we were formally notified by Nasdaq that we have evidenced compliance with the Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2).
Reverse Stock Splits
On April 4, 2024, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the "April Reverse Stock Split") of the shares of common stock effective as of April 9, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the April Reverse Stock Split. If, as a result of the April Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share, each fractional share was rounded up to the next whole number. The April Reverse Stock Split resulted in a reduction of our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2024, from 228,487 to 11,426. The par value of our authorized stock remained unchanged at $0.0001.
On September 9, 2024, we effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split (the "September Reverse Stock Split") of the shares of common stock, effective September 11, 2024. As a result of the September Reverse Stock Split, every 30 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the September Reverse Stock Split were combined and converted into one share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. The September Reverse Stock Split became effective on September 11, 2024, and the common stock was quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market on a post-split basis at the open of business on September 11, 2024. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the September Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to a fraction of one share of common stock as a result of the September Reverse Stock Split instead received one whole share of common stock. We issued 97,190 shares of common stock to shareholders who had been entitled to a fraction of one share.
All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the April Reverse Stock Split and September Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.
ATM Facility
On March 19, 2024, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement, as amended (the "Sales Agreement") with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC ("Ascendiant") under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $50 million, to or through the Ascendiant. The offer and sales of the shares are made pursuant to a previously filed shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275282), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 2, 2023 and declared effective on November 29, 2023, and the related prospectus supplement dated September 9, 2024 and filed with the SEC on such date. We will pay the Ascendiant a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through Ascendiant under the Sales Agreement. We will also reimburse the Ascendiant for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement. Both we and Ascendiant may each terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon specified prior written notice. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold an aggregate of 1,493,878 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts.
August 2024 Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
On August 19, 2024 (the "Closing Date") we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "August 2024 SPA") with certain purchasers (the "August 2024 Purchasers"), pursuant to which we issued and sold, in a private placement (the "August 2024 Offering"), 35,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "August 2024 Preferred Stock"), for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million in the aggregate for the August 2024 Offering, after the deduction of discounts, fees and offering expenses.
On the Closing Date, we filed a certificate of designation (the "August 2024 COD") with the Secretary of the State of Delaware designating the rights, preferences and limitations of the August 2024 Preferred Stock. Under the August 2024 COD, for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders of Allarity at which the August 2024 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote and the voting power of the August 2024 Preferred Stock, each holder of the August 2024 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to shares of our common stock into which such August 2024 Preferred Stock are then convertible, disregarding, for such purposes, any limitations on conversion. The August 2024 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders generally and shall vote together with the common stock and any other class or series of capital stock entitled to vote thereon as a single class and on an as converted to the common stock basis.
The holders of the August 2024 Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends, on an as-if converted basis, equal to dividends actually paid, if any, on the common stock. The August 2024 Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holders and, in certain circumstances, by us, into common stock, as determined by dividing the net purchase price of $90 per share by the conversion price of $5.10, at the option of the holders.
On the Closing Date, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "August 2024 RRA") with the August 2024 Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC, to register for resale the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the August 2024 Preferred Stock.

SEC Investigation
On July 19, 2024, we received a "Wells Notice" from the Staff of the SEC relating to our previously disclosed SEC investigation. The Wells Notice relates to our disclosures regarding meetings with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") regarding our NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP, which was submitted to the FDA in 2021. We understand that all conduct relating to the SEC Wells Notice occurred during or prior to fiscal year 2022. We also understand that three of our former officers received Wells Notices from the SEC relating to the same conduct. A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law.

At this time, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the lawsuits and we cannot currently estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, that it may experience in connection with this litigation.
Risks and Uncertainties
We are subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for any drug product candidate that we may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of our product candidate, dependence on key personnel and collaboration partners, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development by competitors of technological innovations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Our product candidate currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. Even if our research and development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, we will realize significant revenue from product sales.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Financial Operations Overview
Since our inception in September of 2004, we have focused substantially all our resources on conducting research and development activities, including drug discovery and preclinical studies, establishing, and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, the manufacturing of clinical and research material, hiring personnel, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. In recent years, we have recorded very limited revenue from collaboration activities, or any other sources. We have funded our operations to date primarily from convertible notes and the issuance and sale of our ordinary shares.
We have incurred net losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were $17.1 million and $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $111.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million. Substantially all our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses over at least the next several years. We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
● |
advance our drug candidate through clinical trials; |
|
● |
pursue regulatory approval of our drug candidate; |
● |
operate as a public company; |
|
● |
continue our preclinical programs and clinical development efforts; |
|
● |
continue research activities for the discovery of new drug candidates; and |
|
● |
manufacture supplies for our preclinical studies and clinical trials. |
Components of Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include:
● |
expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract organizations, and consultants; |
|
● |
costs related to production of drug substance, including fees paid to contract manufacturers; |
|
● |
laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical trials; and |
|
● |
employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation. |
We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks and estimates of services performed using information and data provided to us by our vendors and third-party service providers. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in future periods for use in research and development activities are deferred and accounted for as prepaid expenses. The prepayments are then expensed as the related goods are delivered and as services are performed. To date, most of these expenses have been incurred to advance our lead drug candidate stenoparib.
We expect our research and development expenses on stenoparib to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to accelerate stenoparib in clinical trials designed to attain regulatory approval. Costs related to dovitinib and IXEMPRA will decrease precipitously as these have been deprioritized/terminated. We expect additional costs in research and development activities as we continue to conduct clinical trials. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming, and the successful development of our drug candidate is highly uncertain. As a result, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our drug candidate.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and professional services expenses, including legal, human resources, audit, and accounting services. Personnel-related costs consist of salaries, benefits, travel, insurance and stock-based compensation. Facilities costs consist of rent and maintenance of facilities. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to anticipated increases in headcount to advance our drug candidate and as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, Nasdaq, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.

Research and Development Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023
The decrease of $0.9 million in research and development expenses was primarily related to a reduction of $0.8 million in manufacturing and supplies and $0.1 million in milestone payments.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023
The decrease of $0.2 million in research and development expenses was primarily related to a reduction of $0.3 million in manufacturing and supplies, $0.1 million in personnel-related costs, including salaries and stock-based compensation, and $0.1 million in contractor and consultant expenses, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in research study costs.
Impairment of intangible assets
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023
We halted enrollment in the ongoing Phase 2 trial of stenoparib and are focused on the development of a follow-on trial with FDA regulatory intent. These developments prompted an updated impairment assessment of our intangible assets utilizing a discounted cash flow model with a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") of 26%. As a result of the updated impairment assessment, we recognized an impairment charge of $9.7 million and foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, with no comparable expense in 2023.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $0.7 million in financing costs, $0.1 million in professional services, and $0.3 million in insurance costs, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in personnel-related costs and $0.1 million in public reporting company costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $1.1 million in financing costs, $0.8 million in insurance expense, and $0.2 million in professional fees, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in public reporting company costs.
Other income (expense)
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to September 30, 2023
Other income of $0.3 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024, consisted primarily of $0.3 million in interest income and $0.1 million in foreign exchange gains, partially offset by $0.1 million in interest expenses
Other expense of $21,000 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, consisted primarily of loss of $4.2 million in fair value of New September Warrants, $0.6 million in fair value of the modification to April and July 2023 warrants, $0.2 million in foreign exchange losses, and $34,000 in interest expenses, partially offset by a $4.9 million change in fair value adjustment to derivative and warrant liabilities and $12,000 in interest income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023
Other income of $2.5 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, consisted primarily of a gain of $2.7 million in change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities, $0.3 million in interest income, and $0.1 million in foreign exchange gains, partially offset by $0.6 million in interest expense.
Other income of $2.1 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consisted primarily of a gain of $7.2 million in change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities and $19,000 in interest income, partially offset by losses of $4.2 million in fair value of New September Warrants, $0.6 million in fair value of the modification to April and July 2023 warrants, $0.3 million in interest expense, $0.1 million in foreign exchange losses.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations
Since our inception through September 30, 2024, our operations have been financed primarily by the sale of convertible promissory notes and the sale and issuance of our securities. As of September 30, 2024, we had $18.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and an accumulated deficit of $111.5 million.
Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development as well as regulatory expenses related to our lead drug candidate and clinical programs for stenoparib, and to a lesser extent, 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 and accrued expenses.
On March 21, 2024, we commenced an at the market offering of shares of our common stock and as of September 30, 2024, had sold 2,556,927 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $33.1 million. In light of our cash position as of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have sufficient funds for our current operations and planned capital expenditures. As discussed above we intend to seek capital through the sale of our securities or other sources. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in raising additional working capital, or if we are able to raise additional working capital, we may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. Our failure to raise capital or enter into other such arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to develop our product candidate.
Management's plans to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt include additional funding through public equity, private equity, debt financing, collaboration partnerships, or other sources. We currently plan on completing an additional public offering in the near future, however there are no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional working capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. Our failure to raise capital or enter into other such arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to continue our plan of operations.
We expect to incur substantial expenses in the foreseeable future for the development and potential commercialization of our drug candidate and ongoing internal research and development programs. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing, or aggregate amount of costs for our development, potential commercialization, and internal research and development programs. However, to complete our current and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, and to complete the process of obtaining regulatory approval for our drug candidate, as well as to build the sales, marketing, and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our drug candidate, if approved, we may require substantial additional funding in the future.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for preclinical studies, clinical trials, and other service providers for operating purposes. We have not included these payments in a table of contractual obligations since these contracts are generally cancellable at any time by us following a certain period after notice and therefore, we believe that our non-cancellable obligations under these agreements are not material.

Operating Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities was $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily comprised of our $17.1 million net loss, $3.8 million increase in operating assets and liabilities, $2.7 million change in fair value of warrant liability and $0.4 million in deferred income taxes, partially offset by a $9.7 million impairment of intangible assets and $0.2 million in non-cash interest expense.
Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities was $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily comprised of our $10.2 million net loss, $7.2 million change in fair value of warrant liability and $0.1 million increase in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by $4.2 million in fair value of New September Warrants, $1.1 million in on-cash finance expense, $0.6 million in fair value modifications to April and July 2023 warrants, $0.2 million in stock-based compensation, $0.2 million in non-cash interest and $0.1 million in unrealized foreign exchange loss.
Financing Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to $33.1 million in net proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, $2.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, and $1.3 million in proceeds from 3i debt promissory notes, partially offset by the $3.5 million redemption of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and repayment of $1.3 million of 3i debt promissory notes.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our anticipated expenditures and commitments for the next twelve months. Our estimate as to how long we expect our cash to be able to continue to fund our operations is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Form 10-K, and there have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such 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 by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
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 our stated goals under all potential future conditions.
With respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
For information regarding our material legal proceedings, see "Note 14, Commitments and contingencies" in the accompanying "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as set forth below.
The risk factor titled "Unstable global market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and stock price" is amended and restated as follows:
Unstable global market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and stock price.
The global credit and financial markets have from time-to-time experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflicts in Israel and the Gaza Strip and the broader Middle East, terrorism or other geopolitical events. Sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries in response to such conflicts, including the one in Ukraine, may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. There can be no assurance that further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, manufacturers and other partners may not survive an economic downturn, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.
The development and use of artificial intelligence, or AI, presents risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information, and personal data and could give rise to legal and/or regulatory actions, damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is increasingly being used in the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, technology, and consumer health industries. We may develop and incorporate AI technology in certain of our products and services. Issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies such as AI, machine learning, generative AI, and large language models, may cause us to experience perceived or actual brand or reputational harm, technical harm, competitive harm, legal liability, cybersecurity risks, privacy risks, compliance risks, security risks, ethical issues, and new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, and we may incur additional costs to resolve such issues. Litigation or government regulation related to the use of AI may also adversely impact our ability to develop and offer products that use AI, as well as increase the cost and complexity of doing so. In addition, uncertainties regarding developing legal and regulatory requirements and standards may require significant resources to modify and maintain business practices to comply with U.S. and non-U.S. laws concerning the use of AI, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time. In addition, the European Union recently passed the Artificial Intelligence Act, whose regulations will be developed over the coming year and, in the U.S., the recent Executive Order concerning artificial intelligence may result in extensive new federal rule-making. Further, market demand and acceptance of AI technologies are uncertain, and we may be unsuccessful in our product development efforts.
We plan to develop policies governing the use of AI to help reasonably ensure that such AI is used in a trustworthy manner by our employees, contractors, and authorized agents and that our assets, including intellectual property, competitive information, personal information we may collect or process, and customer information, are protected. Any failure by our personnel, contractors, or other agents to adhere to our established policies could violate confidentiality obligations or applicable laws and regulations, jeopardize our intellectual property rights, cause or contribute to unlawful discrimination, or result in the misuse of personally identifiable information or the injection of malware into our systems, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 19, 2024, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC ("Ascendiant") under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $50 million, to or through Ascendiant. The offer and sales of the shares are made pursuant to a previously filed shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275282), originally filed with the SEC on November 2, 2023 and declared effective on November 29, 2023, and the related prospectus supplement dated September 9, 2024 and filed with the SEC on such date. We will pay Ascendiant a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through Ascendiant under the Sales Agreement. We will also reimburse Ascendiant for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement. Both we and Ascendiant may each terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon specified prior written notice.
During the period October 1, 2024, through November 13, 2024, we sold 1,534,356 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $2.5 million.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
For information regarding defaults upon senior securities, see "Note 5, Convertible promissory note due to Novartis" in the accompanying "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
Noneof our directors or officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) during the third quarter of 2024.
