IN8BIO, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization and Business

IN8bio, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of gamma-delta T cell product candidates for solid and liquid tumors. The Company’s lead product candidates are currently in Phase 1 clinical trials: INB-200, for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (“GBM”), and INB-100, for the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies that are undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HSCT”). In addition, the Company is currently preparing to initiate patient enrollment in the company-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial of INB-400 in which autologous genetically modified gamma-delta T cells will be assessed in newly diagnosed GBM patients. With additional funding, the Company expects to submit its company-sponsored investigational new drug application (“IND”) and to initiate a Phase 1b clinical trial of INB-400 in which allogeneic genetically modified gamma-delta T cells will be assessed in both relapsed and newly diagnosed GBM patients. The Company’s DeltEx platform has yielded a broad portfolio of preclinical programs, including INB-300 and INB-500, focused on addressing GBM and other solid and hematological tumor types.

Incysus, Inc. (“Incysus”) was a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on November 23, 2015 and Incysus, Ltd. was incorporated in Bermuda on February 8, 2016. Incysus was the wholly owned United States subsidiary of Incysus, Ltd. On May 7, 2018, Incysus, Ltd. reincorporated in the United States in a domestication transaction (the “Domestication”) in which Incysus, Ltd. converted into a newly formed Delaware corporation, Incysus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Incysus Therapeutics”). On July 24, 2019, Incysus Therapeutics merged with Incysus. Incysus Therapeutics subsequently changed its name to IN8bio, Inc. in August 2020. Following the Domestication in May 2018 and the merging of Incysus Therapeutics and Incysus in July 2019, the Company does not have any subsidiaries to consolidate. The Company is headquartered in New York, New York.

Going Concern

To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from various public and private offerings of its common and preferred stock. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative operating cash flows since its inception, including net losses of $15.2 million and $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $76.5 million.

On August 16, 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 5,394,737 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $1.90 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. On August 19, 2022, the underwriter partially exercised their option to purchase an additional 268,949 shares at the public offering price of $1.90 per share, resulting in additional net proceeds of approximately $0.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, increasing the aggregate net proceeds from the offering to approximately $9.4 million.

In November 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268288) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which permits the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $200.0 million of its common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities, of which $50.0 million of common stock may be issued and sold pursuant to an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”). The Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor Fitzgerald”) and Truist Securities, Inc. (“Truist”) under which Cantor Fitzgerald and Truist agreed to act as sales agents to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, from time to time, through the ATM program. Under current SEC regulations, if at any time the Company's public float is less than $75.0 million, and for so long as the Company's public float remains less than $75.0 million, the amount the Company can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using shelf registration statements is limited to an aggregate of one-third of the Company's public float, which is referred to as the baby shelf rules. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's calculated public float was less than $75.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,060,962 shares of common stock under the ATM, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $12.4 million, after deducting fees and expenses. Between July 1, 2023 and August 7, 2023, the Company sold 995,026 shares of common stock under the ATM, resulting in $1.5 million in net proceeds, after deducting fees and expenses.

The Company has not yet generated product sales and as a result has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future as it advances its product candidates through clinical trials, seeks to expand its product candidate portfolio through developing additional product candidates, grows its clinical, regulatory and quality capabilities, and incurs costs associated with operating as a public company, and, based on the Company’s business strategy, its existing cash of $17.0 million as of June 30, 2023, and the net proceeds of $1.5 million raised through the ATM program between July 1, 2023 and August 7, 2023 will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s projected operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements beyond April 2024.

5


 

Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern. To continue to fund the operations of the Company beyond this time period, management has developed plans, which primarily consist of raising additional capital through some combination of public equity offerings, including through ATM offerings, and identifying strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements to support development of the Company’s product candidates. There is no assurance, however, that any additional financing or any revenue-generating collaboration will be available when needed, that management of the Company will be able to obtain financing or enter into a collaboration on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any additional financing or revenue generated through third party collaborations will be sufficient to fund our operations through this time period. If additional capital is not available, the Company will have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue research and development programs or future commercialization efforts. The actual amount of cash that the Company will need to operate is subject to many factors. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the notes thereto, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2023. Since the date of that filing, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The condensed financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these condensed financial statements, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, and the useful lives of property and equipment. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. All of the Company’s cash is deposited in accounts with major financial institutions. Such deposits are in excess of the federally insured limits.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Significant replacements and improvements are capitalized,

6


 

while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s respective assets are as follows:

Estimated Useful Life

Furniture

5 years

Machinery and equipment

 

 

3-5 years

 

Software

3 years

Leasehold improvements

 

 

The shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvement or the remaining term of the lease

 

Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated and amortized in accordance with the above guidelines once placed into service. Upon retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

The Company did not adopt any new accounting guidance during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and as of the date of this report that had a material impact on the financial statements or disclosures. Additionally, there is no pending accounting guidance that the Company expects to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Plan, the number of shares available under the 2020 Plan was increased by 1,227,257 shares effective January 1, 2023. Upon the effectiveness of the 2023 Plan (as defined below), the 2020 Plan was terminated and no further issuances were made under the 2020 Plan, although it continues to govern the terms of any equity grants that remain outstanding under the 2020 Plan.
