The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of iBio Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company generated negative cash flows from operations of approximately $18.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. Historically, the Company’s liquidity needs have been met by the sale of sale of convertible notes payable, common shares, and the issuance of common shares through the exercise of warrants. As of June 30, 2024, iBio had total current assets of approximately $15.7M, of which approximately $14.2 was cash and cash equivalents. The Company incurred net losses of approximately $24.9 million during the twelve months ending June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, we have an operating capital deficit of $18.6 million which compares to the $30.4 million operating capital deficit we maintained as of June 30, 2023.

The history of significant losses, the negative cash flow from operations, the limited cash resources on hand and the dependence by the Company on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s current financing and business plans have not mitigated such substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.

In an effort to mitigate the substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern and increase cash reserves, the Company consummated the sale of its 130,000 square foot current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) facility located in Bryan, Texas (the “Facility”) satisfying all outstanding amounts under the Term Loan (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations for more information), raised funds through equity offerings or other financing alternatives, reduced its workforce, entered into a collaboration agreement to discover and develop novel antibodies for obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases and sold certain intellectual property rights. Potential options being considered to further increase liquidity, focusing product development on a select number of product candidates, the sale or out-licensing of certain product candidates, raising money from the capital markets, grant revenue or collaborations, or a combination thereof. However, the Company anticipates that its expenses will increase as it continues its research and development activities and conducts clinical trials.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company completed at-the-market offerings and sold 170,989 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for which it received approximately $1.7 million. The Company also sold 181,141 shares of Common Stock under its purchase agreement entered into on August 4, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) and received approximately $1.2 million in proceeds. During the second quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold an additional 21,457 shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement for approximately $0.1 million.

On December 7, 2023, the Company closed a public offering (the “2023 Offering”) pursuant to which it sold in the 2023 Offering, (i) 600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) 1,650,000 pre-funded warrants (the “2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of Common Stock, (iii) 2,250,000 Series C common warrants (the “Series C Common Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) 2,250,000 Series D common warrants (the “Series D Common Warrants,” and together with the Series C Common Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners(“A.G.P.”) acted as lead placement agent, and Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline”), acted as co-placement agent (A.G.P. and Brookline are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Placement Agents”) for the 2023 Offering. The Company received approximately $4.5 million in gross proceeds from the 2023 Offering, including the exercise of all 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and prior to deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding the net proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Common Warrants. (See Note16 – Stockholders’ Equity for more information.)

On February 25, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “PD-1 Purchase Agreement”) with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Otsuka”) pursuant to which the Company sold and assigned to Otsuka, and Otsuka purchased and assumed, all intellectual property rights directly related to the Company’s early-stage programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1” ) (the “PD-1 Assets”) developed or held for development in consideration of $1,000,000 paid at closing. The PD-1 Purchase Agreement also provides for a potential contingent payment of $2,500,000 upon the achievement of specified developmental milestones and a second potential contingent payment of $50,000,000 upon the achievement of specified milestones following commercialization. The sale of the PD-1 Assets closed on February 25, 2024.

On March 26, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2024 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with several institutional investors and an accredited investor (the “Purchasers”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of the following securities for gross proceeds of approximately $15.1 million: (i) 2,701,315 shares of Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,585,963 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and(iii) Series E Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Series E Warrants”) to purchase up to 5,287,278 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.64 per share. The Series E Warrants are exercisable at any time after the six-month anniversary of their issuance (the “Initial Exercise Date”) at an exercise price of $2.64 per share and have a term of exercise equal to five years from the date of issuance. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and the accompanying Series E Warrant was $2.85 and the purchase price for one 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant and the accompanying Series E Warrant was $2.849. Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement and was paid (i) a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement (reduced to 4.0% with respect to certain investors), and (ii) up to $50,000 for legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses. The Private Placement closed on April 1, 2024. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $14.1 million from the Private Placement, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, including placement agent fees and expenses.

During fiscal year 2024, 1,650,000 of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants, 1,178,500 Series C Common Warrants and 1,053,500 Series D Common Warrants were exercised for proceeds of $4,464,000. In August 2024, 1,000 Series C Common Warrants and 1,000 Series D Common Warrants were exercised for proceeds of $4,000.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $14.4 million as of June 30, 2024, is anticipated to be sufficient to support operations into the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, unless the Company reduces its burn rate further or raises additional capital. Regardless of whether the Company is able to reduce its burn rate or sell or out-license certain assets or parts of the business, the Company will need to raise additional capital in order to fully execute its longer-term business plans. It is the Company’s goal to implement one or more potential options described above to allow the Company to have a cash runway for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Annual Report. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing any of the options that it is evaluating.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 22, 2022, the Company's Board approved the implementation of a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-twenty five (1 : 25) shares of the Company's Common Stock. The reverse stock split was effective as of October 7, 2022. All share and per share amounts of our common stock presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the one-for-twenty five reverse stock split. See Note 17 – Stockholders’ Equity for more information.

Following the 2023 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-20 (1:20). Following such approval, on November 28, 2023, the Company filed an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation  with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the 2024 Reverse Stock Split.
