FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to raise additional capital to support our manufacturing operations and other operations, our ability to develop products of commercial value and to identify the outcome of research and development activities, our reliance on third-parties, the timing of completion of construction of the planned manufacturing facility in Kansas, our ability to successfully operate a manufacturing facility, competitive developments, the effect of current and future legislation and regulation and regulatory actions, as well as other risks described more fully in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below, under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein and those identified under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 26, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

As a result of these and other factors, we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTE REGARDING COMPANY REFERENCES

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Scorpius”, “NightHawk,” “NightHawk Biosciences,” “the Company,” “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Scorpius Holdings, Inc.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Effective February 6, 2024, NightHawk Biosciences, Inc. changed its name to Scorpius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Scorpius”) by filing a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 26, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include the accounts of Scorpius Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Pelican Therapeutics, Inc. (“Pelican”), Heat Biologics I, Inc. (“Heat I”), Heat Biologics III, Inc. (“Heat III”), Heat Biologics IV, Inc. (“Heat IV”), Heat Biologics GmbH, Heat Biologics Australia Pty Ltd., Zolovax, Inc., Skunkworx Bio, Inc. (formerly known as Delphi Therapeutics, Inc.), Scorpius Biomanufacturing, Inc. (“Scorpius”) (formerly Scorpion Biological Services, Inc), Blackhawk Bio, Inc., and Abacus Biotech, Inc. The functional currency of the entities located outside the United States of America (the foreign entities) is the applicable local currency of the foreign entities. Assets and liabilities of the foreign entities are translated at period-end exchange rates. Statement of operations accounts are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held an 85% controlling interest in Pelican and a 94% controlling interest in Scorpius. The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the Company presents non-controlling interest as a component of stockholders’ equity on its consolidated balance sheets and reports non-controlling interest net loss under the heading “net loss – non-controlling interest” on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

​

Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosure throughout the Notes to the consolidated financial statements are related to the Company’s continuing operations and have been adjusted to reflect the one for two-hundred reverse stock split that was effective July 17, 2024.

​

Going Concern Uncertainty

The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $267.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and a net loss before income taxes from continuing operations of approximately $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations. The Company expects its expenses to increase in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly as the Company ramps up operations in its in-house bioanalytic, process development and manufacturing facility in San Antonio, TX, which is now its main focus. In addition, any new business ventures that the Company may engage in are likely to require commitments of capital. Accordingly, the Company will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with its planned operations. Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations and raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, it would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its

programs, any future commercialization efforts or the manufacturing services it plans to provide. To meet its capital needs, the Company intends to continue to consider multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings such as sales of its common stock, debt financings, equipment sales leasebacks, partnerships, grants, funding collaborations and other funding transactions, if any are available. On May 16, 2024, the Company closed a public offering and raised net proceeds of $5.4 million in its public offering. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and it may never do so. As a result of these circumstances, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated interim financial statements are issued.

​

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, a small customer base with mostly short-term contracts, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s service offerings, market competition from similar and larger sized CDMO companies, competitive pricing pressure, and dependence on key individuals and sole source suppliers.

The Company depends on third-party suppliers for key materials and services used in research and development, as well as manufacturing processes, and is subject to certain risks related to the loss of these third-party suppliers or their inability to supply adequate materials and services. If third-party suppliers do not supply raw materials on a timely basis, the Company’s manufacturing services may be delayed or canceled which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. If the Company’s suppliers are non-compliant with the FDA’s quality system regulations or other applicable laws or regulations, the Company would be required to find alternative suppliers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Short-term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments are equity securities and are carried at their fair value based on quoted market prices. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, useful lives of fixed assets, contingent earn-out receivable, related party, income taxes, stock-based compensation, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and estimates used in divestiture accounting. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method and is based on estimated useful lives of five years for lab equipment, three years for computer equipment, eight years for furniture and fixtures and vehicles, and the lesser of the useful life or life of the lease for leasehold improvements.

Segments

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company has viewed the operations and managed the business as one segment.

Contingent Earn-Out Receivable, Related Party

Contingent earn-out receivable, related party is recorded as an asset and represents the estimate of fair value of royalty earnout payments related to consideration from the divestiture of Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. Contingent earn-out receivable, related party is measured at fair value using a probability-weighted income approach utilizing significant unobservable inputs including the probability of achieving each of the potential milestone and royalty payments and an estimated discount rate associated with the risks of the expected cash flows attributable to the various milestones. Significant increases or decreases in any of the probabilities of success or changes in expected timelines for achievement of any of these milestones would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value of these milestones, respectively, and commensurate changes to the associated asset. The contingent earn-out receivable, related party is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Effective as of July 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Note Cancellation and Amendment to Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Note Amendment”) of that certain 1% non-convertible promissory note, dated May 1, 2024, in the principal amount of $750,000 (the “$750K Note”), issued by the Company to Elusys Holdings Inc. (“Elusys Holdings”) and to the Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of December 11, 2023, by and between Elusys Holdings and the Company. Pursuant to the Note Amendment the $750K Note was cancelled in exchange for an amendment to the Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement which eliminates the payment of any royalty fees by Elusys Holdings to the Company and instead provides a cash payment to the Company of $2.5 million on or prior to December 31, 2028.

Cost of Revenues and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Cost of revenues consists of production wages, material costs and overhead, and other costs related to the recognition of revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related costs for administrators, public company costs, business development personnel as well as legal, patent-related expenses and consulting fees. Public company costs include compliance, auditing services, tax services, insurance and investor relations.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses relate to the Company’s investments in additions and improvements to its manufacturing process, process development, and costs associated with developmental products not yet approved by the FDA as well as costs associated with bringing developmental products into advanced phase clinical trials as incurred. These costs consist primarily of pre-manufacturing and manufacturing drug costs, clinical trial execution, investigator payments, license fees, salaries, stock-based compensation and related personnel costs. Other costs include fees paid to consultants and outside service providers related to the development of the Company’s product candidates and other expenses relating to the design, development, testing and enhancement of its product candidates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Table of Contents

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the most likely method based on historical experience as well as applicable information currently available. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and expensed through cost of sales as inventories are sold.

Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally require payment within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date. In certain arrangements, the Company receives payment from a customer either before or after the performance obligation has been satisfied; however, the Company’s contracts do not contain a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s services, not to receive financing from the Company’s customers or to provide customers with financing. The Company has applied the practical expedient in ASC 606 and excludes information about a) remaining performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less and b) the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

Grant revenue

The Company recognized revenue from a grant related to the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (“CPRIT”) contract, which was accounted for under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-08, Not-For-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, as a conditional non-exchange contribution.

The CPRIT grant was solely for specific cancer research and covered the period from June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2023, for a total grant award of up to $15.2 million. CPRIT advanced grant funds upon request by the Company consistent with the agreed upon amounts and schedules as provided in the contract. The first tranche of funding of $1.8 million was received in May 2017, a second tranche of funding of $6.5 million was received in October 2017, and the third tranche of funding of $5.4 million was received in December 2019. The remaining $1.5 million was received in April 2023. Funds received were reflected in deferred revenue as a liability until revenue was earned. Grant revenue was recognized when qualifying costs are incurred. When grant funds were received after costs had been incurred, the Company recorded revenue and a corresponding grants receivable until grant funds were received. As of December 31, 2023, all $15.2 million has been recognized and received.

License revenue

The Company had licensed certain provisional patent applications and know-how related to fusion proteins to treat cancer and other diseases that were not being developed by the Company. Shattuck Labs, Inc. (“Shattuck”) paid the Company an initial license fee of $0.05 million in June 2016 and was obligated to pay the Company fees upon its receipt of sublicensing income, achievement of certain milestones, and royalties upon sales of commercial products. In March 2023, the Company received a milestone payment of $0.1 million from Shattuck due to completion of a Phase 1A monotherapy dose escalation clinical trial of SL-172154. On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Patent Rights Sale and Assignment Agreement with Kopfkino IP, LLC (“Patent Agrement”) pursuant to which, in exchange for $1.0 million, the Company assigned its right, title, and interest in and under the exclusive license agreement it entered into with Shattuck.

Process development revenue

Process development revenue generally represents revenue from services associated with the custom development of a manufacturing process and analytical methods for a customer’s product. Process development revenue is recognized over time utilizing an input method by tracking the progress toward completion by measuring inputs to date relative to total estimated inputs needed to satisfy the performance obligation. Under a process development contract, the customer owns

the product details and process, which has no alternative use. These process development projects are customized to each customer to meet its specifications and typically include only one performance obligation. Each process represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The customer also retains control of its product as the product is being created or enhanced by the Company’s services and can make changes to its process or specifications upon request. Under these agreements, the Company is entitled to consideration for progress to date that includes an element of profit margin.

The transaction price for services provided under the Company’s contracts reflects its best estimate of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for providing goods and services to the Company’s customers. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates transaction price to each performance obligation identified in a contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. If observable standalone selling prices are not available, the Company estimates the applicable standalone selling price based on the pricing of other comparable services or on a price that the Company believes the market is willing to pay for the applicable service.

In determining the transaction price, the Company also considered the different sources of variable consideration including, but not limited to, discounts, credits, refunds, price concessions or other similar items. The Company has included in the transaction price some or all of an amount of variable consideration, utilizing the most likely method, only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The actual amount of consideration ultimately received may differ.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is comprised of contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) customer deposits received in advance of the Company’s fulfillment of performance obligations.

CDMO deferred revenue generally represents customer payments received in advance of the Company’s fulfillment of performance obligations associated with the custom development of a manufacturing process and analytical methods for a customer’s product. As of June 30, 2024, there was $2.4 million of deferred revenue related to CDMO.

Convertible and Non-convertible Promissory Note, Related Party

The Company accounts for its convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. The Company has made such election for its convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party. Using fair value option, these promissory notes are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and remeasured at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in their estimated fair value are recognized as a change in the fair value of the convertible and non-convertible promissory note, in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Modification of Debt Instruments

Modifications or exchanges of debt, which are not considered a troubled debt restructuring, are considered extinguishments if the terms of the new debt and the original instrument are substantially different. The instruments are considered substantially different when the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument are at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt is initially recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment gain or loss. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company amended its convertible promissory note, related party and non-convertible note, related party (see Note 9).

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are primarily comprised of amounts owed to the Company for services and sales provided under the Company’s customer contracts and are recorded at the invoiced amount net of an allowance for credit losses, if necessary. The Company applies judgment in assessing the ultimate realization of the Company’s receivables and estimates an allowance for credit losses based on various factors, such as the aging of the Company’s receivables, historical experience, and the financial condition of its customers.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

The Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of amounts paid in advance for manufacturing activities, clinical trial support, contract assets and insurance. Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials inventory and is valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews raw materials inventory for potential impairment, and if deemed necessary, adjusts inventory to its net realizable value based on the estimate of future use and reduce the carrying value of inventory. No impairment expense was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, or 2023.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that utilization is not presently more likely than not.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own CommonStock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding. All warrants issued are indexed to the Company’s common stock as defined in ASC 815 and meet the equity classification criteria in accordance with ASC 815. Thus, they both achieve equity classification at inception and were recorded within additional paid-in-capital on their issuance date.

Other Assets

The balance consists of $0.2 million of land option agreements related to the location for a potential Kansas commercial CDMO facility.

Other Income

On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Patent Rights Sale and Assignment Agreement with Kopfkino IP, LLC (“Patent Agreement”). Pursuant to the Patent Agreement, in exchange for $1.0 million, the Company assigned its right, title and interest in and under the exclusive license agreement it entered into with Shattuck. The $1.0 million payment was received and recorded in other income in the first quarter of 2024.

Discontinued Operations

​

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity (“disposal group”) is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal group represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the disposal group meets held for sale criteria. Assets and liabilities of disposal group meeting discontinued operations treatment is presented separately as held-for-sale. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, are reported as components of net loss separate from the net loss of continuing operations.

​

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

​

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through additional disclosures about significant segment expenses, including for single reportable segment entities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

2. Discontinued Operations

On December 27, 2023, the Company completed the sale of all of its assets and equity interest in Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Elusys”) to Elusys Holdings, Inc., a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jeffrey Wolf for approximately $2.5 million before working capital, escrow adjustments and transaction expenses. Total consideration included $0.5 million of cash received at closing, $0.3 million related to consideration from a one-year convertible promissory note, related party and fair value of $1.7 million in future payments from Elusys upon the achievement by Elusys of certain financial goals. The gain on the transaction was approximately $1.5 million.

The Company has separately reported the financial results of Elusys as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet have a carrying value of $0 as of December 31, 2023.

The Company determined that the disposal group represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and has therefore reflected the Elusys Therapeutics business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Details of the loss from discontinued operations included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations are as follows:

3. Acquisitions

Pelican Therapeutics

In 2017, the Company consummated the acquisition of 80% of the outstanding equity of Pelican, a related party, and Pelican became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, cash consideration of approximately $300,000 was distributed to the participating Pelican stockholders and the remainder of approximately $200,000 for certain Pelican liabilities not satisfied was recognized as other income in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the period. In October 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with the University of Miami (“UM”) whereby UM exchanged its shares of stock in the Company’s subsidiaries, Heat I, Inc. and Pelican. The stock exchange resulted in the Company increasing its controlling ownership in Pelican from 80% to 85%.

Under the agreement, the Company was also obligated to make future payments based on the achievement of certain clinical and commercialization milestones, as well as low single digit royalty payments and payments upon receipt of sublicensing income. However, due to the discontinuation of PTX-35 no future milestone payments are expected to be made. The goodwill and in-process R&D resulting from the acquisition were fully impaired as of December 31, 2022.

​

Elusys Therapeutics

On April 18, 2022 (“Closing Date”), the Company closed on the acquisition of Elusys. The Company acquired Elusys to expand its role in the biodefense space, complementing its focus to target emerging biological threats. The fair value of the purchase consideration was approximately $42.9 million. The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recorded for this transaction was valued at $3.9 million and is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.

The Company initially expected to leverage the capabilities of its planned Scorpius biomanufacturing facility in Manhattan, Kansas, to manufacture Elusys’s therapies internally and therefore benefit from significant operating synergies, cost savings, as well as enhanced oversight, quality control, and speed to market. However, the Company was unable to manufacture the Elusys’ therapies internally. In addition, the Company has been unable to generate sufficient revenue from its current manufacturing facility or raise sufficient capital to enable it to build the biomanufacturing facility in Manhattan, Kansas and instead had been required to place contract with third parties for the manufacture of the Elusys’ therapies.

On December 27, 2023, the Company completed the sale of all of its assets and equity interests in Elusys Therapeutics to Elusys Holdings, a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jeffrey Wolf for approximately $2.5 million before working capital, escrow adjustments and transaction expenses. Net of contractual payments paid to the previous shareholders of Elusys subsequent to the Closing Date, the Company generated a gain of approximately $1.5 million on the sale. See Note 2-Discontinued Operations and Note 15-Commitments and Contingencies.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As a basis for determining the fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company utilizes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level I – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level II – Observable inputs, other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level III – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the entire fair value measurement requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. The Company’s short-term investments consist of Level I securities which are comprised of highly liquid money market funds. The estimated fair value of the short-term investments was based on quoted market prices. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

The fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis is as follows:

​

9. Convertible Promissory Note, Related Party

Elusys Holdings also, as a post-closing covenant, on January 26, 2024 purchased from the Company a convertible promissory note in the aggregate amount of $2,250,000 (the “Convertible Note”), the conversion of which is subject to both Elusys Holdings’ election and was subject to obtaining stockholder approval of the issuance of shares of our common stock upon such conversion, which stockholder approval was obtained on July 15, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of this contingent consideration receivable, related party was $0.3 million. The Convertible Note bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum, mature on the one-year anniversary of its issuance and converts into shares of our common stock at the option of Elusys Holdings only if stockholder approval of the issuance of such shares of common stock is obtained prior to the maturity date. The conversion price is equal to $0.39109 (which was 110% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of our common stock for the seven trading days prior to December 11, 2023). Based upon a conversion price of $78.22, which is 110% of the VWAP of our common stock for the seven trading days prior to December 11, 2023, upon conversion of the Convertible Note (exclusive of interest), Elusys Holdings would be issued 29,053 shares of our common stock.

​

On May 1, 2024, the Company issued to Elusys Holdings an amended and restated 1% Note (“the Restated Note”) in the principal amount of $2,250,000 in exchange for the original convertible note. The Restated Note bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, matures on September 1, 2025 and will convert into shares of our common stock at the option of Elusys Holdings only if stockholder approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE American of the issuance of all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Restated Note is obtained prior to the maturity date and any required approval of the NYSE American of such share issuance is obtained. The conversion price of the Restated Note was equal to 110% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of common stock for the seven trading days prior to December 11, 2023 which was $78.22; however, Section 2(b) of the Restated Note provided that if we consummated a public financing, subject to certain exceptions, within sixty days of May 1, 2024, the conversion price would be adjusted to be 110% of the per share purchase price of the common stock in such public financing (with such adjustment only being made upon the first financing in the event of multiple financings during the foregoing period). Based on the public offering that the Company consummated in May 2024, the conversion price of the Restated Note was adjusted to $22.00 resulting in the ability to convert the Restated Note into up to 103,908 shares of common stock (including the principal amount of $2,250,000 and all accrued interest thereon calculated as of the date of maturity. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon full conversion of the Restated Note.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock and Common Stock with Warrant Offering

On March 9, 2024, the Company closed the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement that the Company entered into on March 7, 2024 (the “Agreement”) with ThinkEquity, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 50,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $30.00 per share for net proceeds of $1.2 million.

On May 16, 2024, the Company consummated a public offering (the “Offering”) of 149,100 units (the “Unit” or “Units”) and 150,900 pre-funded units (“Pre-Funded Units”) for a purchase price of $20.00 per Unit and for a purchase price of $19.96 per Pre-Funded Unit (inclusive of the pre-funded warrant exercise price), resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. Each Unit consists of (i) one share (the “Shares”) of common stock and (ii) one warrant (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock (the “Common Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price of $24.00 per share (120% of the offering price per Unit). Each Pre-Funded Unit consists of (i) one pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), and (ii) one Common Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0002 per share and will remain exercisable until exercised in full. The Common Warrants will be immediately exercisable for one share of common stock upon issuance for a period of five years following the date of issuance.

Table of Contents

Per ASC 815, the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants met the applicable criteria to qualify for equity classification and the Company applied the relative fair value method to allocate proceeds between the respective warrants and are included in stockholders equity. The fair value of the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants when issued on May 16, 2024 were $0.8 and $0.0998 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: 1) estimated volatility of 114% based on future stock price; 2) expected term of 5.0 years: 3) annual risk-free interest rate of 4.4%; and 4) expected dividend rate of 0%.

Common Stock Warrants

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 299,112 shares of common stock issuable at a weighted average exercise price of $24.00 per share. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding warrants.

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s common stock warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

​

All outstanding common stock warrants are recorded in equity at June 30, 2024, following the guidance established by ASC Topic 815-40. The Company’s common stock warrants allow for potential settlement in cash if certain extraordinary events are effected by the Company, including a 50% or greater change of control in the Company’s common stock. Since those events have been deemed to be within the Company’s control, the Company applies equity treatment for these common stock warrants.

​

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company maintains various equity compensation plans (“Plans”) with substantially similar provisions under which it may award employees, directors and consultants incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards with terms established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which has been appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the plans.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock Compensation Expense - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.5 million of stock-based compensation expense. For the three and six months ended June 30. 2023, the Company recorded $0.7 million and $1.4 million of stock-based compensation. No compensation expense for employees with stock awards was capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Stock Options - Under the Plans, the Company has issued stock options. A stock option grant gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a certain number of shares at a predetermined price for a specific period of time. The Company typically issues options that vest over four years in equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Under the terms of the Plans, the contractual life of the option grants may not exceed ten years

Fair Value Determination – The Company has used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock option awards on the date of grant. The Company will reconsider the use of the Black-Scholes model if additional information becomes available in the future that indicates another model would be more appropriate or if grants issued in future periods have characteristics that cannot be reasonably estimated under this model.

​

Stock Option Activity – No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

​

The following is a summary of the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

​

Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $1.4 million as of June 30, 2024, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years and will be adjusted for forfeitures as they occur.

Restricted Stock - Under the Plans, the Company has issued restricted stock. A restricted stock award is an issuance of shares that cannot be sold or transferred by the recipient until the vesting period lapses. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. There was no restricted stock award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Units - Under the Plans, the Company may issue time-based Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). RSUs are not actual shares, but rather a right to receive shares in the future. The shares are not issued and the employee cannot sell or transfer shares prior to vesting and has no voting rights until the RSUs vest. The employees' time-based RSUs vest pro-rata over 36 months. The grant date fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of RSUs the Company expects to issue as compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period.

12. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Fully diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options, warrants, and unvested restricted stock that are computed using the treasury stock method.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all of the Company’s common stock options, unvested restricted stock units and warrants are anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the diluted calculation.

13. Income Tax

Income taxes have been computed using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. The Company computes its interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate method. The Company estimates an annual effective tax rate of 0% for the year ending December 31, 2024. The total tax expense or (benefit) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $0.0 million and $(0.6) million, respectively.

​

The Company incurred losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 and is forecasting additional losses through the year, resulting in an estimated net loss for both financial statement and tax purposes for the year ending December 31, 2024. Due to the Company’s history of losses, there is not sufficient evidence to record a net deferred tax asset associated with the U.S., Australian, and German operations. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded related to the net deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

​

At June 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

​

In connection with the Merger Agreement for the acquisition of Elusys Therapeutics in April 2022, the Company agreed to pay earn-out payments for a period of 12 years from the Closing Date equal to 10% of the gross dollar amount of payments received during each one year period during such twelve year period with respect to any sale, license or commercialization anywhere in the world of ANTHIM® that either: (a) occurs during the first nine years after the Closing Date in any respect; or (b) occurs thereafter pursuant to any contract, agreement, commitment or order that is placed, granted, awarded or entered into during the first nine years after the Closing Date. The Merger Agreement also provides that the Company will remain liable for royalty payments if any buyer of Elusys Therapeutics fails to satisfy this obligation. Elusys relies on Lonza, a third-party manufacturer, to produce commercial quantities of its ANTHIM® bulk drug product requirements. Elusys has firm orders with Lonza for future purchases of bulk drug substance, with remaining total non-

cancellable future commitments of approximately $51.4 million through 2025. If Elusys were to terminate certain firm orders with Lonza without cause, it will be required to pay for bulk drug substance scheduled for manufacture under its arrangement. This assumed manufacturing commitment was transferred to Elusys Holdings as part of the Divestiture Transaction.

​

On January 26, 2024 in accordance with the terms of that certain Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement, dated December 11, 2023, with Elusys Holdings, Inc., Elusys Holdings purchased from the Company a convertible promissory note, related party in the aggregate amount of $2,250,000, the conversion of which was subject to both Elusys’ Holdings election and obtaining stockholder approval of the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock upon such conversion. The Convertible Note was recorded at a fair value of $1,985,750 upon issuance and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, originally matured on the one-year anniversary of its issuance and originally converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Elusys Holdings only if stockholder approval of the issuance of such shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note is obtained prior to the maturity date. In May 2024, the Convertible Note was exchanged for an amended and restated Note (the “Restated Note”). The Restated Note has a maturity date of September 1, 2025, will convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Elusys Holdings only if stockholder approval of the issuance of such shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Restated Note is obtained prior to the maturity date and any required approval of the NYSE American LLC of such share issuance is obtained. The original conversion price of the Convertible Note was equal to 110% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock for the seven trading days prior to December 11, 2023 which was $78.22. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to revised Section 2(b) of the Restated Note, if the Company consummates a public financing, subject to certain exceptions, within sixty days of May 1, 2024, and if approved by the stockholders and the NYSE American LLC, the conversion price shall be adjusted to be 110% of the per share purchase price of the common stock in such public financing. Based upon the public offering consummated in May 2024, and if approved by the stockholders (which stockholder approval was obtained on July 15,2024) and the NYSE American LLC, the conversion price of the Restated Note would be $22.00 and Elusys Holdings would be issued 106,908 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the Restated Note on its maturity date . The cash proceeds for the Convertible Note were received on January 26, 2024.

16. Subsequent Events

On August 19, 2024, the Company consummated a public offering (the “August Offering”) of 2,428,000 common shares and 11,947,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,947,000 shares of common stock (“PFWs”), including 1,875,000 option pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,875,000 shares of common stock (“Option PFWs”) for a purchase price of $1.00 per common share, a purchase price of $0.9998 per PFW, and exercise price of $0.0002 per Option PFW resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. Each PFW and Option PFW is exercisable for of one share of common stock.

On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Note Cancellation and Amendment to Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) of that certain 1% non-convertible promissory note, dated May 1, 2024, in the principal amount of $750,000, issued by the Company to Elusys Holdings Inc. and to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2023, by and between Elusys Holdings and the Company. Pursuant to the Note Amendment the Note was cancelled in exchange for an amendment to the Purchase Agreement which eliminates the payment of any royalty fees by Elusys Holdings to the Company and instead provides a cash payment to the Company of $2.5 million on or prior to December 31, 2028.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Annual Report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” You should review the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the 2023 Annual Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Scorpius Holdings, Inc. is a contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) that provides process development and biomanufacturing services to support the biomanufacturing needs of third parties who use its biomanufacturing capacity as a fee-for-service model through our subsidiary, Scorpius Biomanufacturing, Inc. (formerly known as Scorpion Biological Services, Inc.). Scorpius couples CGMP biomanufacturing and quality control expertise with cutting edge capabilities in immunoassays, molecular assays, and bioanalytical methods to support cell- and gene-based therapies as well as large molecule biologics using American-made equipment, reagents, and materials. We anticipate the prioritization of Scorpius on American-made equipment, reagents, and materials paired with domestic sourcing of biomanufacturing expertise will make us competitive for U.S. government contracts and biodefense assets. We anticipate this will successfully support our expansion within the growing CDMO market.

​

We commenced operations of the leased San Antonio facility in September 2022. In order to promote efficiency and reduce our reliance on third-party vendors, we have enhanced our in-house development of bioanalytic, process development and manufacturing capabilities and offer such services to third parties for fees. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these new operations.

​

We intend to meet our financing needs for the operations of the facility through multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, cash on hand, grant funding and incentives, additional equity financings, debt financings, equipment sales leasebacks, and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations, and additional revenue from our CDMO biomanufacturing facility.

​

On January 29, 2024, we entered into a Patent Rights Sale and Assignment Agreement with Kopfkino IP, LLC (“Patent Agreement”). Pursuant to the Patent Agreement, in exchange for $1,000,000, we assigned its right, title and interest in and under the exclusive license agreement it entered into with Shattuck Labs, Inc. (“Shattuck”) in 2016, including our rights to certain provisional patent applications and know-how related to fusion proteins to treat cancer and other diseases that were not being developed by us.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as "critical" because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for 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 or conditions.

Revenue and Deferred Revenue

Process development revenue generally represents revenue from services associated with the custom development of a manufacturing process and analytical methods for a customer’s product. Process development revenue is recognized over time utilizing an input method by tracking the progress toward completion by measuring inputs to date relative to total estimated inputs needed to satisfy the performance obligation.

The transaction price for services provided under our customer contracts reflects our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for providing goods and services to our customers. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate transaction price to each performance obligation identified in a contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. If observable standalone selling prices are not available, we may estimate the applicable standalone selling price based on the pricing of other comparable services or on a price that we believe the market is willing to pay for the applicable service.

In determining the transaction price, we also consider the different sources of variable consideration including, but not limited to, discounts, credits, refunds, price concessions or other similar items. We include in the transaction price some or all of an amount of variable consideration, utilizing the most likely method, only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The actual amount of consideration ultimately received may differ.

All other significant accounting policies had no change and are summarized in Note 2 to our financial statements contained in our 2023 Annual Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 we recognized $0.8 million of revenue primarily from process development. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 we recognized $0.7 million of process development revenue. The increase in process development revenue is attributable to the completion of services over a larger number of customer contracts.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues were $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and primarily consisted of the direct cost of labor, overhead and material costs at Scorpius. The increase in cost of revenues is due to the expanded service offerings and completed milestone work on multiple CDMO contracts.

​

Research and development expense. Research and development expenses were $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The components of R&D expense are as follows, in millions:

| ● | Unallocated research expenses increased by $0.4 million primarily due to decreased personnel costs, depreciation expense, amortization expense and hardware and software costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.0 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $2.0 million was primarily due to decreases in consultant services of $1.1 million, professional services of $0.4 million, sales and marketing of $0.2 million, and stock-based compensation of $0.3 million.

​

Change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable, related party. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was no change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable, related party.

​

Total non-operating income (expense). Total non-operating expense was ($0.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 which primarily consisted of $0.6 million from the loss on disposal of leasehold improvements, $0.2 million of interest expense on finance leases, partially offset by $0.2 million from gain on partial extinguishment of debt. Total non-operating expense was ($0.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 which primarily consisted of ($0.2) million of interest expense, ($0.1) million of loss on disposal of equipment, partially offset by ($0.1) million of interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of August 19, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $13.2 million. On September 18, 2023, our Board approved a refocus and restructuring plan (the “Plan”) to shed non-core assets and reduce its operating costs in order to refocus effort and resources on the CDMO and commenced the Plan which included the active marketing of Elusys. Despite the cost savings measures and the cash received in the offerings, conducted in March 2024, May 2024, and August 2024, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has not yet generated significant revenue from operations and does not anticipate that the Company will generate sufficient revenue from operations in the near term to sustain its operations beyond December 2024, and therefore the Company anticipates that it will need to raise capital to sustain its operations. The Company’s ability to generate revenue is impacted by its cash position and its ability to purchase new raw materials necessary to perform services. As a result, management continues to evaluate the Company’s future direction, including continuing to explore strategic alternatives. However, there can be no assurance that these strategic alternatives will be successful. If the Company does not generate sufficient revenue from operations or does raise capital when needed or successfully engage a strategic partner in the next few months, the Company may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of its operations, sell some of our assets, cease operations, liquidate our assets, reorganize the Company, or a combination of the foregoing.

Since its inception in June 2008, the Company has incurred significant losses and the Company has financed its operations with net proceeds from the private placement of its preferred stock, common stock and debt. Since its initial public offering, the Company has primarily financed its operations with net proceeds from the public offering of its securities and at-the market offerings, and to a lesser extent, the proceeds from the exercise of warrants and note issuances. In March 2024, the Company raised $1.2 million in capital in a public offering, in May 2024 the Company issued the Note for proceeds of $750,000 and raised net proceeds of $5.4 million in a public offering and in August the Company consummated a public offering and raised net proceeds of $12.8 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $267.7 million and as of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $254.4 million. The Company had net losses of $9.3 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company expects to incur significant commercialization expenses related to its CDMO business. The Company will need to obtain substantial additional future funding in connection with its manufacturing facility operations if it does not generate sufficient revenue from operations.

​

However, the actual amount of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include the following:

Table of Contents

​

| ● | the progress of our research activities;

| ● | our ability to attract customers for our CDMO services and retain current customers

| ● | our ability to timely complete projects within estimated budgets

| ● | the number and scope of our research programs;

| ● | the progress of our preclinical and clinical development activities;

| ● | the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we have entered into research and development agreements;

| ● | our expansion plans and cash needs of any new projects; and

| ● | additional manufacturing facility construction costs and equipment costs.

​

The Company has based its estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. The Company may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than the Company currently anticipates. Potential sources of financing include strategic partners, public or private sales of our equity or debt financings, mergers, a sale of the Company, divestiture of assets, a combination of these, or other strategic transactions. The Company may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to its long-term capital requirements. The Company does not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when the Company needs it on terms that will be acceptable to the Company, or at all. Due to the late filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the late filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company is no longer eligible to sell securities of our Registration Statement on Form S-3, including in at-the-market transactions until June 2025. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock, or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to raise additional funds when needed or engage a strategic partner, the Company may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of its operations and we may be forced to cease operations, liquidate our assets, and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.

Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements are available to be issued. To meet our capital needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, which include sales of our common stock under at-the-market offerings, if available, debt financings, equipment sales leasebacks, collaborations and other funding transactions. This is based on our current estimates, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments which does not include the proceeds from the August 2024 public offering. The Company will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and it may never do so. Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Cash Flows

Operating activities. The use of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 resulted primarily from our net losses adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in components of working capital as well as the commencement of our Scorpius Biomanufacturing facility. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $11.2 million as compared to $22.0 million during the same period in 2023. The $10.8 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $13.0 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.7 million, a change in deferred tax liability of $0.6 million, a change in other assets of $0.2 million, a decrease in inventory of $0.8 million, an increase in accounts payable of $1.8 million, and an increase of accrued expenses of $1.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets of $0.7 million, a decrease in stock-based compensation of $0.9 million, a change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable, related party of $1.0 million, a change in fair value of convertible promissory note, related party of $0.1 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.7 million, a decrease in grant receivable of $1.5 million, a decrease in right-of-use assets of $0.4 million, a gain on partial extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.1 million.

Table of Contents

Investing activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $22.3 million during the same period in 2023. The decrease of $19.3 million is primarily due the decreased sale of short term investments, net of purchases of $21.0 million, partially offset by he sale of intellectual property license fo $1.0 million, the disposal of property and equipment of $0.4 million, and a decrease in purchases of property and equipment of $0.3 million.

Financing activities. Net cash provided in financing activities was $9.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash used in financing activities of ($2.9) million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $12.4 million is primarily from the proceeds of the Company’s issuance of common stock, net of stock issuance cost of $6.9 million, the proceeds from the issuance of a convertible promissory note, related party of $2.3 million, the proceeds from the issuance of a non-convertible promissory note, related party of $0.8 million, and a decrease in repayment of principal on finance leases of $2.4 million.

Current and Future Financing Needs

We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $267.7 million through June 30, 2024. We have incurred negative cash flows from operations since we started our business. We expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to our manufacturing facility operations for Scorpius.

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 and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

​

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The material weaknesses are further described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our management concluded that the following material weaknesses existed as of June 30, 2024:

| ● | We identified ineffective information technology general controls in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to certain information technology systems that support our financial reporting process. As a result, certain activity level controls were also deemed to be ineffective that are dependent on information derived from these information technology systems.

| ● | In March 2023, we determined that we had made certain errors in the manner in which we recognized the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to the acquisition of Elusys Therapeutics in which the net losses acquired in the transaction had been overstated in our quarterly filings for the periods ending June 30, 2022 through September 30, 2022. As a result, we determined that there were material errors in the financial statements that required a restatement of our Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022 through September 30, 2022. This was due to the inadequate design and implementation of controls to evaluate and monitor the accounting for income taxes.

| ● | We identified a material weakness related to the ineffective design of certain management review controls across a significant portion of the Company’s financial statement areas, particularly with regard to the precision of the review and evidence of review procedures performed.

| ● | We identified a material weakness related to the ineffective design and implementation of controls around process development revenue recognition, specifically, controls over the review of labor hours incurred and expected to be incurred in satisfaction of our performance obligations.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we will change certain control activities over financial reporting to include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) evaluating and implementing enhanced process controls around user access management and segregation of duties, (ii) expanding the documentation over user access and system controls and enhancing the level of evidence maintained in management review controls, (iii) enhancing the design of existing controls and are implementing new controls over the accounting, processing, and recording of income tax and revenue, and (iv) the utilization of external subject matter experts to assist in accounting for non-routine, complex transactions.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, other than the plan discussed above under “Remediation of Material Weaknesses”, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

​

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

​

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates should be read in conjunction with the

35

Table of Contents

information disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2023 Annual Report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors and uncertainties disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.

To date, we have not generated significant revenue and we do not anticipate generating significant revenue in the near future.

To date, we have not generated significant revenue from our business and substantially all of our revenue has been revenue from lines of business in which we are no longer engaged. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net loss of approximately $13.9 million and for the year ended December 31, 2023 we had a net loss of approximately $46.8 million. We do not anticipate generating any significant revenue from the provision of CDMO services for several years as we are a new entrant into that line of business. Even if we generate revenue from the provision of services, which is not anticipated for several years, if at all, there can be no assurance that we will be profitable. In addition, we have entered into a new line of business, the provision of contract development and manufacturing services and no assurance can be given that we will be able to generate significant revenue as a contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) or that we will be able to consummate our business strategy and plans. Financial, technological, market, or other limitations may force us to modify, alter, significantly delay, or significantly impede the implementation of such plans. The operation of the manufacturing facility required us to incur significant expenses before we realize any revenue from such facility. We have insufficient results for investors to use to identify historical trends. Investors should consider our prospects in light of the risk, expenses and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company. Our revenue and income potential is unproven and our business model is continually evolving. We are subject to the risks inherent to the operation of a new business enterprise and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully address these risks.

If we do not generate sufficient revenue from operations, we will need to raise additional capital to support our long-term business plans and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our development programs or commercialization efforts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $11.2 million and as of August 19, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $13.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $31.5 million and as of December 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $2.4 million. We have experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit. As of June 30, 2024, our accumulated deficit was $267.7 million and as of December 31, 2023, our accumulated deficit totaled $254.4 million on a consolidated basis. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. We do not expect to derive significant revenue from our CDMO services until we expand our customer base. In addition, we expect our expenses to increase due to the operation of the manufacturing facility in San Antonio.

​

Our current cash is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations only through December, 2024. We expect that we will need additional future financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all

Unless we generate significant revenue from operations in the next few months, we will need to raise additional capital by year end to fund our operations and we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. Our current cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds from our August 2024 public offering, is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations only through December, 2024, unless our revenue increases from past historical revenue.To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, which we expect will include sales of common stock, debt financings, equipment sale leasebacks, and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by our inability to utilize a registration statement on Form S-3 to raise capital until June 2025 due to the late filing of our 2023 Annual Report, the late filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and various rules of the NYSE American that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that we may sell. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we fail to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue to maintain our listing on the NYSE American. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we have to restructure the company including a work force reduction, or initiate steps to cease operations or liquidate our assets.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.

​

We had an accumulated deficit of $267.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and a net loss of approximately $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We have an accumulated deficit of $254.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and a net loss of approximately $46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and have not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations. We expect to incur significant expenses and continued losses from operations for the foreseeable future and expect our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, including proceeds from the August 2024 public offering, to be sufficient to fund our operations beyond December 2024 less our revenue increases from past historical revenue. Our estimates of our runway are dependent upon our estimates of the ability of our customers to make timely payments of amounts owed to us which recently has not occurred. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we ramp up operations in our in-house bioanalytic, process development and manufacturing facility in San Antonio, TX. Our unaudited financial statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern; however, we have incurred significant losses from operations to date and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements are issued. Our auditors also included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 with respect to this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The various ways that we could raise capital carry potential risks. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our technologies or tests or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms or at all, we may be unable to complete the planned build out of our Kansas facility or develop any new product candidates that we acquire. As such, we cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are filed with the SEC and there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

​

In addition to requiring additional financing, in order to successfully continue our business we will need to expand our customer base beyond the limited number of customers we currently have and there can be no assurance we will be successful in doing so. Though we continue to expand our customer base, we remain dependent on a limited number of customers for a substantial majority of our revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $0.7 million and $1.3 million in CDMO revenue, all of which was derived from three customers who each represented over 10% of the total recognized revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue from two customers accounted for 85% of total revenue One customer accounted for 36% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and is migrating to a larger CDMO for commercial manufacture of their product. The loss of, or a significant reduction of business from, any of our primary customers will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation unless we are able to replace such customers with other primary customers.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 as well as of December 31, 2023.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 as well as of December 31, 2023. As a result, we restated our quarterly financial results for the periods ending June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. This material weakness continues to exist as of June 30, 2024. In the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material errors in our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our period reporting obligations.

Management and our Audit Committee, in consultation with BDO USA P.C. (“BDO”), our independent registered public accounting firm, determined that our previously issued interim financial statements filed on the Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 should

no longer be relied upon. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of our system of internal control. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules that govern public companies. In particular, we are required to certify our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires us to furnish annually a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Management has concluded that in light of the errors described above, a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting existed and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 set forth in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 had to be modified to include a material weakness in its controls over financial reporting. The material weakness identified relates to the ineffective design of management review controls over the computation and disclosure of income taxes. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The existence of one or more material weaknesses precludes a conclusion by management that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective. As a result of the material weakness, we believe that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the Non-Reliance Periods. In preparing our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we determined that the material weakness still exists in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls were ineffective. Management is committed to the remediation of the material weakness. Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts, as described above to address the material weakness.

If we are not able to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or if we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements or guarantee that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could cause our investors to lose confidence in our publicly reported information, cause the market price of our stock to decline, expose us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, or impact our results of operations.

​

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American could result in a de-listing of our common stock.

Our shares of common stock are currently listed on the NYSE American. On June 14, 2024, we received notice from the NYSE Regulation that it had suspended trading of our common stock on the NYSE American and determined to commence proceedings to delist our common stock from the NYSE American as a result of its determination that we are no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the low selling price of our common stock. Our common stock began trading on the OTC Markets system on June 17, 2024. On July 17, 2024, we effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-200, to increase the selling price of our common stock in order to regain compliance with the requirements and policies of the NYSE American. On July 29, 2024, the NYSE American notified us that it had withdrawn its delisting determination and the trading suspension of our common stock on the NYSE American was lifted on August 2, 2024. The NYSE Regulation staff determined that our common stock was now trading above the threshold of low selling price issues as further defined by Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide. However, there can be no assurance that our increased stock price resulting from the 2024 Reverse Stock Split will remain at a price that will be sufficient in order to meet any requirements and policies of the NYSE American or that our common stock will remain listed on the NYSE American. If trading of our common stock does not recommence on the NYSE American or our common stock is not listed or approved for listing on another exchange, we will not proceed with this offering.

In addition, on April 17, 2024, we received an official notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation stating that we were not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the failure to timely file our 2023 Annual Report on Form

38

Table of Contents

10-K by the filing due date of April 16, 2024. On May 21, 2024, we received an official notice of noncompliance from NYSE Regulation stating that we were not in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 by the filing due date of May 16, 2024. Upon the filing of the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we received a notice that we had cured the filing delinquency.

Even though the 2024 Reverse Stock Split increased the market price of our common stock, there can be no assurance that our increased stock price will remain at a price that will be sufficient in order to meet any continued requirements and policies of the NYSE American or that our common stock will remain listed on the NYSE American.

The trading of our common stock resumed on the NYSE American on August 2, 2024 after we effected a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the increased stock price resulting from the 2024 Reverse Stock Split will be sufficient in order to continue to meet any requirements and policies of the NYSE American or that our common stock will remain listed on the NYSE American.

Following the 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the 2024 Reverse Stock Split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.
