EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

As previously reported by Reviva Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company”, “we” or “us”), the audit committee (the “audit committee”) of the board of directors of the Company, after meeting with management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and each of the interim financial statements for the quarterly periods in fiscal 2023 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (cumulatively, the “Restatement Periods”) should be restated to correct historical errors related principally to the timing of recognition of the Company’s estimated accrual of certain research and development expenses. Such restatement was reflected and included within the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2024.

 

Please refer to the Explanatory Note to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024, for more information regarding the restatement. For a more detailed discussion of the correction of historical errors in the Restatement Periods, including for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, refer to Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain footnotes and other financial information normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for the fair presentation. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from our audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures and financial information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2024.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2023 have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. This involved disclosing separately, prepaid clinical trial costs from the prepaid expenses and other current assets balance, which were previously disclosed in the aggregate. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s loss from operations, net loss, or net loss per share.

 

F-6

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reviva Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Reviva Pharmaceuticals, India Pvt Ltd. The Company’s subsidiary’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company recognizes a foreign currency gain or loss each reporting period, on translation of its foreign subsidiary's financial information on consolidation. Any such foreign currency gain or loss is recognized as part of other expense, net, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All transactions and balances between the parent and its subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Previously-disclosed restatement of previously reported interim condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements

 

The interim consolidated financial statements include corrections to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which corrections were previously presented in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, including specifically Note 10, “Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited and Restated)”, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024 (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “2023 Form 10-K”).

 

As previously reported in Item 4.02(a) of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024, and in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, on April 12, 2024, the audit committee (the “audit committee”) of the board of directors of the Company, after meeting with management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and each of the interim financial statements for the quarterly periods in fiscal 2023 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (cumulatively, the “Restatement Periods”) should be restated to correct historical errors related principally to the timing of recognition of the Company’s estimated accrual of certain research and development expenses.

 

The need for the restatement arose out of the results of certain financial analysis the Company performed in the course of preparing its fiscal year-end 2023 consolidated financial statements. Principally, the Company completed a detailed lookback analysis to compare certain estimated accrued clinical trial expenses, specifically investigator fees, from one contract research organization to its actual clinical trial expenses that were incurred for the respective periods for that contract research organization during the Restatement Periods based on review of historical invoices. In the course of its analysis of the actual information gathered through the lookback process, the Company detected differences between the estimated accrued amounts of those clinical trial expenses and the actual expenses recorded due primarily to the Company’s failure to properly review and evaluate expenses incurred in those clinical trial contracts resulting in the Company not properly accruing for clinical trial expenses that were incurred but for which invoices were not yet received. In addition, the Company determined that an effective process for evaluating the completeness of the research and development expense accrual for investigator fees and related costs, for that contract research organization, was necessary. This included estimated patient site visits not yet reported, average site visit costs and average delay in site invoicing. This provides the Company with an effective estimate of the costs incurred as there can be a lag between receiving an invoice for the services provided from that contract research organization. Management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that, in the ordinary course of closing its financial books and records, the Company previously excluded certain clinical trial expenses and associated accruals from the appropriate periods as required under applicable accounting guidelines. Therefore, the Company misstated research and development expenses, and accrued clinical expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

F-7

 

As previously disclosed, the Company misstated research and development expenses and associated accrued liabilities during the Restatement Periods. Also as previously disclosed, the Company principally attributes the errors to a material weakness in its internal control activities due to a failure in the design and implementation of its controls to review clinical trial expenses, including the evaluation of the terms of clinical trial contracts. Specifically, the Company failed to properly review and evaluate progress of expenses incurred in clinical trial contracts resulting in the Company not properly accruing for clinical trial expenses that were incurred but for which invoices were not yet received. These material weaknesses were previously disclosed in Item II, Part 9A of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, and are disclosed in Part I, Item 4 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company has commenced procedures to remediate the material weaknesses. However, these material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial actions have been fully implemented and the Company has concluded that these controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding discussion included in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are reflective of the restatement adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as previously presented in Note 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

As previously disclosed in Note 10, “Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited and Restated)”, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, the restated line items of the consolidated statement operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:

Liquidity and going concern

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception and as of September 30, 2024 the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $10.7 million, an accumulated deficit of $158.0 million and cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $5.6 million. The Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $8.4 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The Company's net loss for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $23.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur significant expenses and increased operating losses for the next several years. The Company expects its expenses to increase in connection with its ongoing activities to research, develop and commercialize its product candidates. The Company will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.

 

The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company believes that it has adequate cash on hand to cover anticipated outlays into the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company has based this estimate, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available financial resources much faster than it currently expects. The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue funding its development efforts and operations. The Company intends to secure such additional funding, although there are no guarantees or commitments for additional funding. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our clinical development efforts. The Company will seek to fund its operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. In May 2024 and August 2024, the Company raised capital through registered financial offerings (Note 4). Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain clinical activities. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but are not limited to, accounting for clinical trial costs, assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation, assumptions used to calculate the fair value of warrants, deferred taxes, and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.

 

F-9

 

Concentration of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Substantially, all the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in demand deposit and money market funds at three financial institutions. Deposits in financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. Amounts held in demand deposit in excess of federally insured limits, totaled $1,027,696 and $786,971 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash.

 

The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in a clinical-stage company developing new pharmaceutical products. These risks include, but are not limited to, limited management resources, dependence upon medical acceptance of the product in development, regulatory approvals, successful clinical trials, availability and willingness of patients to participate in human trials, and competition in the pharmaceutical industry. The Company’s operating results may be materially affected by the foregoing factors.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash was maintained in demand deposit forms at three financial institutions. The Company considers any highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

The components of cash and cash equivalents were as follows:

 

   

As of September 30,

2024

   

As of December 31,

2023

 

Cash on deposit

  $ 1,363,860     $ 1,155,636

    4,194,957       22,211,820  

Cash and cash equivalents

  $ 5,558,817     $ 23,367,456  

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

F-10

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

 

 

Level 2 - Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

 

In determining the fair value of all warrants, excluding the private-placement warrants (see Note 4), the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model using assumptions regarding volatility of the Company's common share price, expected term of the warrants, expected divided rate, and risk-free interest rates. In determining the fair value of the private placement warrants, the Company utilizes a Lattice model using assumptions regarding volatility implied by public warrant market price, expected term of the warrants, expected dividend rate, and risk-free interest rates. Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid clinical trial costs, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued clinical expenses, accrued compensation, short-term debt, and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair value.

 

Short-term debt

 

In January 2024, the Company obtained financing for certain Director and Officer liability insurance policy premiums. The governing agreement assigns the lender a first priority lien on and security interest in the financed policies and any additional premium required in the financed policies.

 

The total premiums, taxes, and fees financed was $518,750, of which of which a principal balance of $415,000 was financed after accounting for the up-front payment made. The financing arrangement has an annual percentage interest rate of 7.99% and a term of 12 months, with payments, inclusive of interest, payable on a monthly basis.

 

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This Update improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This Update enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027,  with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3.   LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, warrants to purchase common stock (excluding warrants that are exercisable for $0.0001 per warrant), and shares contingently issuable for earnout unless the result of inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

 

The components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows:

      29,595,990       17,717,983       29,595,990       17,717,983  

 

The diluted net loss per share computation equals basic net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options, certain warrants, and shares contingently issuable for earnout would have been anti-dilutive.

The difference reflected between the number of warrants and the number of shares underlying the warrants, is the result of an aggregate of 8,860,040 outstanding warrants, issued in 2021, for which each warrant is exercisable into 0.75 shares of common stock.

 

May 2024 Registered Direct Offering

 

On May 28, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company sold, in a registered direct offering (the “May 2024 Offering”) priced at the market under Nasdaq rules which closed on May 29, 2024, an aggregate of (i) 1,898,734 shares of its common stock, and (ii) warrants (the “May 2024 Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 1,898,734 shares of its common stock. The public offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying May 2024 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock was $1.58. The May 2024 Warrants have a term of 5 years and expire on May 29, 2029. The net proceeds to the Company from the May 2024 Offering were $2.8 million, after deducting placement offering costs, agent fees and expenses and other offering expenses payable by the Company, of $0.4 million.

 

The Company evaluated the May 2024 Warrants in accordance with the guidance at ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments, with no recurring fair value measurement required. The May 2024 Warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock and are required to be settled through physical settlement, subject to certain conditions, or net share settlement, if exercised. Accordingly, the May 2024 Warrants were recorded at their grant date fair value with no subsequent remeasurement.

 

The fair value of the May 2024 Warrants was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model, considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., Company stock price of $1.34, exercise price of $1.46, expected term of 5 years, volatility of 93%, risk-free interest rate of 4.6%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). Refer to Note 2 for further detail regarding how assumptions were determined. The grant date relative fair value of the May 2024 Warrants was estimated to be approximately $1.1 million recognized to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as the May 2024 Warrants were determined to be equity classified, with the corresponding debit as an issuance cost of the related equity offering.

 

Accounting for Warrant Modification

 

In connection with the May 2024 Offering, on May 28, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement with the purchaser party to the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend the purchaser’s existing warrants to purchase 1,365,854 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share issued in November 2023 (the “May 2024 Existing Warrants”) in consideration for such purchaser party’s participation and purchase of approximately $3.0 million of securities in the May 2024 Offering and the payment of $0.2 million to (i) lower the exercise price of the May 2024 Existing Warrants to $1.455 per share and (ii) amend the expiration date of the May 2024 Existing Warrants to five years following the closing of the May 2024 Offering, effective upon the closing of the May 2024 Offering on May 29, 2024.

ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") require issuers to account for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. Pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815, the Company accounts for modifications of equity-classified warrant agreements by recording any increase in fair value of the modified equity-classified warrant as an equity issuance cost that reduces additional paid-in capital. The increase in the fair value of the modified May 2024 Existing Warrants was determined to be $0.2 million.

August 2024 Underwritten Offering

 

On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, as the underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the offering, issuance and sale of (i) 3,276,262 shares of common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 1,485,643 shares of common stock, and (iii) warrants (the “August 2024 Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 4,761,905 shares of common stock (the “August 2024 Offering”). The public offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying August 2024 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock (including the pricing for the warrant repricing described below) was $1.05, and the public offering price for each August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying August 2024 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock was $1.0499. The net proceeds to the Company from the August 2024 Offering were approximately $3.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.3 million. The August 2024 Offering closed on August 22, 2024.

 

The August 2024 Warrants are each exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7964 per share and will expire five years from the issuance date. The August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants are each exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and do not expire.

 

F-14

 

Upon the closing of the August 2024 Offering, the Company issued to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to 238,095 shares of common stock (the “August 2024 Underwriter Warrants”). The August 2024 Underwriter Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $1.3125 per share and are exercisable during the five-year period commencing six months after the closing date of the August 2024 Offering.

 

The Company evaluated the August 2024 Warrants and August 2024 Pre-funded Warrants in accordance with the guidance at ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments, with no recurring fair value measurement required. The August 2024 Warrants are indexed to the common stock and are required to be settled through physical settlement, subject to certain conditions, or net share settlement, if exercised. Accordingly, the August 2024 Warrants were recorded at their grant date fair value with no subsequent remeasurement.

 

The Company evaluated the August 2024 Underwriter Warrants in accordance with the guidance at ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments, with no recurring fair value measurement required. The August 2024 Underwriter Warrants are indexed to the common stock and are required to be settled through physical settlement, subject to certain conditions, or net share settlement, if exercised. Accordingly, the August 2024 Underwriter Warrants were recorded at their grant date fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. Further, the Company recognized the August 2024 Underwriter Warrants as a stock issuance costs as they are issued for services in connection with an offering, and therefore will account for these as a reduction of the proceeds in the August 2024 Offering.

 

The fair value of the August 2024 Warrants, August 2024 Pre-funded Warrants, and August 2024 Underwriter Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model, considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., Company stock price of $0.90, exercise price of $0.7964 for the August 2024 Warrants, $0.0001 for the August 2024 Pre-funded Warrants, and $1.3125 for the August 2024 Underwriter Warrants, expected term of 5 years, applicable to all the warrants, volatility of 111%, applicable to all the warrants, risk-free interest rate of 3.7%, applicable to all of the warrants, and expected dividend rate of 0%, applicable to all the warrants). Refer to Note 2 for further detail regarding how assumptions were determined. The grant date relative fair value of the August 2024 Warrants, August 2024 Pre-funded Warrants and August 2024 Underwriter Warrants was estimated to be approximately $3.5 million, $1.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, and were recognized as additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as the August 2024 Warrants, August 2024 Pre-funded Warrants, and August 2024 Underwriter Warrants were determined to be equity classified, with the corresponding debit as an issuance cost of the related equity offering.

 

Accounting for Warrant Modification

 

In connection with the August 2024 Offering, on August 20, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “August 2024 Warrant Amendment Agreement”) with the purchaser of the August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend the purchaser’s (i) warrants to purchase up to 2,536,586 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share issued in November 2023 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 2,199,975 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.125 per share issued in June 2021 (together, the “August 2024 Existing Warrants”), in consideration for such investor’s participation in the August 2024 Underwritten Offering and the payment of $0.125 per August 2024 Existing Warrant (which amount is included in the $1.05 offering price above) to (i) lower the exercise price of the August 2024 Existing Warrants to $0.7964 per share and (ii) amend the expiration date of the August 2024 Existing Warrants to five years following the closing of the August 2024 Offering, effective upon the closing of the August 2024 Offering on August 22, 2024.

2006 and 2020 Equity Incentive Plans

 

As of December 31, 2023, there were an aggregate of 1,004,263 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to equitable adjustment in the event of stock splits and other capital changes (the “Share Reserve”). Following the December 31, 2023 balance sheet date, in accordance with the “evergreen” provision in our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Evergreen Provision"), an additional 2,791,856 shares were automatically made available for issuance on the first day of 2024, which represents 10% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2023. As a result, as of September 30, 2024, the Share Reserve available for future awards under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan stood at 3,563,306 shares, after accounting for the above described 2024 Evergreen Increase, options forfeited in the first, second and third quarters of 2024, and options granted in the third quarter of 2024.

 

F-16

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Share Reserve related to previously issued and outstanding awards under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan stood at 16,747. No new grants of awards are permitted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The Company records stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of stock options granted to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee directors. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

 

Determining Fair Value

 

Valuation and Recognition – The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model utilizes the following assumptions:

 

 

Expected Term – Expected life of an option award is the average length of time over which the Company expects employees will exercise their options, which is based on historical experience with similar grants.

 

 

Expected Volatility - Expected volatility is based on historical stock volatility data, for a peer set of similar public Company's with sufficient trading history, over the expected term of the awards.

 

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent expected term.

 

 

Dividend Yield – The Company has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying a dividend in the foreseeable future.

 

The fair value of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 used the following assumptions:

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Clinical trials

 

Since 2010, the Company has entered into multiple clinical trial agreements with medical institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia for the purpose of enrolling patients into various clinical trials. The agreements are substantially similar by trial and include a detailed listing of the clinical trial services for which the Company will pay, how much will be paid for each service, a set-up charge (if any), Investigational Review Board fees, contractual term, and other provisions. The clinical trial services provided by each site generally include the screening of prospective patients and, for those patients to be enrolled in the study, administration of the Company’s investigation drug according to the trial protocol, any required hospitalization, ancillary medical supplies, and 2-week patient follow-up. Further, each agreement requires the Company to indemnify each respective clinical site against any and all liability, loss, or damage it may suffer as a result of third-party claims; the Company maintains product liability insurance in conjunction with this indemnification. The agreements may be terminated upon 30 days’ written notice, subject to conditions of paying all liabilities incurred through the date of termination. Additionally, with each screened patient, the Company incurs expense with other entities engaged to provide independent review of patient medical records.

 

F-18

 

As part of the Company's agreement with one of its clinical research organizations, the Company is required to maintain a 7% upfront float for fees related to expenses incurred in clinical studies. When the float has depleted to 15% (i.e. 85% of the float has been used) the Company will receive an invoice to replenish the float up to 7% of the remaining estimated budget for the studies. As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, the Company had no remaining prepaid float balance.

 

Indemnification

 

From time to time, in its normal course of business, the Company may indemnify other parties, with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from a breach of representation, covenant or third-party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification obligations due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been no such indemnification claims. The Company has also indemnified its directors and executive officers, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or executive officer.

 

Operating Leases

 

During the period covered by these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had two leases. The first was a twelve-month lease on its former corporate office located at 19925 Stevens Creek Blvd., Suite 100, Cupertino, CA 95014. The monthly lease payment was approximately $1,447 and the lease was renewed in February 2022 and again on February 1, 2023, for another 12-month term. This lease terminated on January 31, 2024. The second lease was for a new corporate office located at 10080 N. Wolfe Road, Suite SW3-200, Cupertino, CA 95014. The monthly lease payment was approximately $4,300 and the lease was entered into beginning December 1, 2023 for a 12-month term. The operating lease cost on these leases for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $12,896 and $5,155, respectively. The operating lease cost on these leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $37,231 and $15,355, respectively.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened claims. From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities.

In prior years, the Company issued warrants to purchase 556,313 shares of common stock in a private placement (the "Private Warrants") and classified the warrants as derivative liabilities, pursuant to ASC 815, as the Private Warrants have an exercise price that is subject to potential adjustment, with subsequent changes in their fair values to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date. The Company calculated the fair value of the Private Warrants as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 as $77,884 and $806,655, respectively, using a Lattice model. The key inputs used in the Lattice calculation were the following:

Company Overview

 

We are a late-stage pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and seeks to commercialize next-generation therapeutics for diseases representing significant unmet medical needs and burdens to society, patients, and their families. Our current pipeline focuses on the central nervous system, inflammatory, and cardiometabolic diseases. We use a chemical genomics driven technology platform and proprietary chemistry to develop new medicines. Our pipeline currently has two drug candidates, brilaroxazine (RP5063) and RP1208. Both are new chemical entities discovered in-house. We have been granted composition of matter patents for both brilaroxazine and RP1208 in the United States (U.S.), Europe, and several other countries.

 

Our lead drug candidate, brilaroxazine, is in clinical development and is intended to treat multiple neuropsychiatric indications. These include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (“BD”), major depressive disorder (“MDD”), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), behavioral and psychotic symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (“BPSD”), and Parkinson’s disease psychosis (“PDP”). Furthermore, brilaroxazine is also ready for clinical development for two respiratory indications - pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH”) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") granted Orphan Drug Designation to brilaroxazine for the treatment of PAH in November 2016 and IPF in April 2018. Brilaroxazine also is in preclinical development for the treatment of psoriasis.

Our primary focus is to complete the clinical development of brilaroxazine for the treatment of acute and maintenance schizophrenia.

 

On October 30, 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 3 RECOVER 1 trial (the “RECOVER-1 Trial”), which is a global Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of brilaroxazine in approximately 400 patients with acute schizophrenia compared to placebo. See “Recent Developments” below for more details on brilaroxazine development.

 

Subject to the receipt of additional financing, we may also continue the clinical development of brilaroxazine for the treatment of BD, MDD, ADHD, BPSD, PDP, PAH and IPF. Moreover, subject to the receipt of additional financing, we may also advance the development of our second drug candidate, RP1208, for the treatment of depression and obesity.

 

Recent Developments

 

On October 30, 2023, we announced positive topline results and successful completion of our pivotal RECOVER-1 Trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of once-daily brilaroxazine, a serotonin dopamine signaling modulator in adults with schizophrenia. The trial successfully met its primary endpoint at the 50 mg dose, with brilaroxazine at that dose achieving a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 10.1-point reduction in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to placebo (-23.9 brilaroxazine 50 mg vs. -13.8 placebo, p<0.001) at week 4. Brilaroxazine also achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in all major symptom domains and secondary endpoints at week 4 with the 50 mg dose vs. placebo. The 15 mg dose of brilaroxazine was numerically superior to placebo on the primary endpoint and most secondary endpoints, and reached statistical significance on two key secondary endpoints.

 

Key statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements with brilaroxazine vs. placebo in patients with schizophrenia and a mean PANSS total score of 97-99 at baseline include:

Key clinical safety and tolerability findings of brilaroxazine support a well-tolerated safety profile

 

 

No drug related serious adverse events (SAEs) or treatment-emergent SAEs (TESAEs) observed or major safety concerns reported for brilaroxazine after 4 weeks of treatment;

 

No incidence of suicidal ideation;

 

No significant change in bodyweight and blood glucose levels;

 

Significant decrease in cholesterol, LDL and increase in HDL compared to placebo;

 

Significant decrease in prolactin and no change in thyroid levels compared to placebo;

 

Akathisia and extrapyramidal symptoms <1% reported for brilaroxazine 50 mg and none for 15 mg;

 

Common brilaroxazine treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were headache (<6%) and somnolence (<7.5%) generally transient in nature; and

 

Low discontinuation rates with brilaroxazine that were less than placebo (16% in brilaroxazine 50mg and 19% in brilaroxazine 15mg vs. 22% placebo).

 

The clinical development plan for brilaroxazine also includes the completed positive Phase 2 REFRESH trial, an ongoing 1-year open label extension trial evaluating long-term safety and tolerability (the “OLE Trial”), and a soon to be initiated registrational global, randomized 4-week Phase 3 RECOVER-2 trial (the “RECOVER-2 Trial”). We expect to report topline data from our OLE Trial in December 2024, with the OLE Trial expected to complete in Q-1 2025, and we expect to initiate the registrational RECOVER-2 Trial in the first quarter of 2025, subject to receipt of additional financing, with completion anticipated in the first quarter of 2026. RECOVER-2 was originally designed as a 6-week study, but after discussion between Reviva and the FDA, the agency has agreed that it can be conducted as a 4-week study. In addition, the FDA indicated that it will require a long-term randomized withdrawal study post-approval to support maintenance of effect. Data from these brilaroxazine clinical trials will potentially support the planned NDA submission to the FDA in the second quarter of 2026.

 

Open Label Extension (OLE) Trial Enrollment Update

 

In November 2024, we provided the following enrollment update on our ongoing OLE Trial evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of brilaroxazine in patients with schizophrenia.

 

Global trial progressing well;

 

108 patients have completed 1-year (12-month) of treatment;
 

Over 250 patients have completed 6-months of treatment;

 

Blood and digital biomarkers designed to independently support efficacy

 

Long-term safety data from 100 patients who have completed 12 months of treatment is a requirement for brilaroxazine’s NDA submission to the FDA; and

 

12 month long-term study expected to complete in Q1 2025.

 

May 2024 Registered Direct Offering

 

On May 28, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,898,734 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 1,898,734 shares of our common stock (the “May 2024 Warrants”) at a combined offering price of $1.58 per share of common stock and accompanying May 2024 Warrant in a registered direct offering (“May 2024 Offering”). The May 2024 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.455 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire five years following the date of issuance. The net proceeds to the Company from the May 2024 Offering were $2.8 million, after deducting placement offering costs, agent fees and expenses and other offering expenses payable by the Company, of $0.4 million. On May 29, 2024, we closed the May 2024 Offering.

 

In connection with the May 2024 Offering, we also agreed to amend certain existing warrants held by the investor in the May 2024 Offering to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,365,854 shares of our common stock that were previously issued to the investor in November 2023, with an exercise price of $5.00 per share, for $0.125 per amended warrant, so that the amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $1.455 per share and expire five years following the closing of the May 2024 Offering.

August 2024 Underwritten Offering

 

On August 20, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, as the underwriter, relating to the offering, issuance and sale of (i) 3,276,262 shares of common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of up to 1,485,643 shares of common stock, and (iii) warrants (the “August 2024 Warrants”) exercisable for an aggregate of 4,761,905 shares of common stock (the “August 2024 Offering”). The public offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying August 2024 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock (including the pricing for the warrant repricing described below) was $1.05, and the public offering price for each August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying August 2024 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock was $1.0499. The net proceeds to the Company from the August 2024 Offering were approximately $3.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The August 2024 Offering closed on August 22, 2024

 

Upon the closing of the August 2024 Offering, we issued to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to 238,095 shares of common stock (the “August 2024 Underwriter Warrants”). The August 2024 Underwriter Warrants will be exercisable at an exercise price of $1.3125 per share and are exercisable during the five-year period commencing six months after the closing date of the August 2024 Offering.

 

In connection with the August 2024 Offering, on August 20, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “August 2024 Warrant Amendment Agreement”) with the purchaser of the August 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend the purchaser’s (i) warrants to purchase up to 2,536,586 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share issued in November of 2023 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 2,199,975 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.125 per share issued in June of 2021 (together, the “August 2024 Existing Warrants”), in consideration for such investor’s participation in the August 2024 Offering and the payment of $0.125 per August 2024 Existing Warrant (which amount is included in the $1.05 offering price above) to (i) lower the exercise price of the August 2024 Existing Warrants to $0.7964 per share and (ii) amend the expiration date of the August 2024 Existing Warrants to five years following the closing of the August 2024 Offering.

 

Financial Overview

 

We have incurred losses since inception and as of September 30, 2024 we had a working capital deficit of approximately $10.7 million, an accumulated deficit of $158.0 million and cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $5.6 million. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $8.4 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Our net loss for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $23.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively. We expect to incur significant expenses and increased operating losses for the next several years. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities to research, develop and commercialize our potential product candidates. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

 

We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

 

invest significantly to further research and develop, through clinical trials for brilaroxazine including the OLE Trial and the registrational RECOVER-2 Trial, and pre-clinical research for RP1208, and seek regulatory approval for our product candidates brilaroxazine and RP1208;

 

identify and develop additional product candidates;

 

hire additional clinical, scientific and management personnel;

 

seek regulatory and marketing approvals for any product candidates that we may develop;

 

6

 

ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any drugs for which we may obtain marketing approval;

 

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

 

acquire or in-license other drugs and technologies; and

 

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product candidate development, and any future commercialization efforts, and our ongoing compliance with and maintenance of public company controls, procedures and regulatory requirements and standards.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

We focus our resources on research and development activities, including the conduct of preclinical and clinical studies and product development and expense such costs as they are incurred. We have not historically tracked or recorded research and development expenses on a project-by-project basis, primarily because we use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development projects, and it is not practical for us to allocate such costs on a project-by-project basis. Our research and development expenses primarily consist of clinical trial expenses and employee-related expenses, including deferred salaries, salaries, benefits and taxes for personnel in research and development functions.

 

The largest recurring component of our total operating expenses has historically been research and development activities. We expect our research and development expenses will increase for the next several years as we advance our development programs, pursue regulatory approval of our product candidates in the U.S. and other jurisdictions and prepare for potential commercialization, which would require a significant investment in costs related to contract manufacturing and inventory buildup.
