Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation | |
Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation | 1. Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Theriva Biologics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Theriva Biologics”) is a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics in areas of high unmet need. As a result of the acquisition of Theriva Biologics S.L. (“VCN”, formerly known as VCN Biosciences, S.L.) (the “Acquisition”), described in more detail below, the Company transitioned its strategic focus to oncology through the development of VCN’s new oncolytic adenovirus platform designed for intravenous and intravitreal delivery to trigger tumor cell death, to improve access of co-administered cancer therapies to the tumor, and to promote a robust and sustained anti-tumor response by the patient’s immune system. Prior to the Acquisition, the Company’s focus was on developing therapeutics designed to treat gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in areas which included its clinical development candidates: (1) SYN-004 (ribaxamase) which is designed to degrade certain commonly used intravenous (IV) beta-lactam antibiotics within the GI tract to prevent microbiome damage thereby preventing overgrowth and infection by pathogenic organisms such as Clostridioides difficile Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, comprised of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. The Company believes that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. As of September 30, 2023 the Company has one operating segment (which includes the legacy Company business and the VCN business) and therefore one reporting segment. Liquidity As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a significant accumulated deficit, the Company has experienced significant losses and incurred negative cash flows since inception. The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future, with the recognition of revenue being contingent on successful phase 3 clinical trials and requisite approvals by the FDA or foreign equivalents. 1. Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation – (continued) The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $31.2 million as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of $10.6 million from December 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the primary use of cash was for working capital requirements and operating activities which resulted in a net loss of $3.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively. With the Company’s cash position of $26.1 million in early November 2023, the Company believes it will be able to fund its operations through the fourth quarter of 2024 and into the first quarter of 2025. Management believes its plan, which includes the advancement of current trials for VCN-01 and the on-going testing of SYN-004 (ribaxamase) will allow it to meet its financial obligations, further advance key products, and maintain its planned operations for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. However, the actual amount of additional capital needed by the Company will also depend upon the costs to advance its VCN-01 clinical programs and whether it continues to develop SYN-004 internally, or out-licenses or partners such development. If necessary, the Company may attempt to utilize the at-the-market offering facility (“ATM”) or seek to raise additional capital in other financing transactions, neither of which is guaranteed. Form S-3 that currently registers the sale of the shares under the ATM Sales Agreement expires in May 2024. The ATM Sales Agreement can be amended so that shares issued would be registered under a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The Company anticipates filing the amendment prior to May 2024, but cannot guarantee filing such amendment. Use of the ATM is limited by certain restrictions and management’s plan does not rely on additional capital from either of these sources. If the Company is not able to obtain additional capital (which is not assured at this time), its long-term business plan may not be accomplished, and it may be forced to cease certain development activities. More specifically, the completion of any later stage clinical trial will require significant financing or a significant partnership. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2022 Form 10-K, except as noted below. Business Combination The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that all identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from acquired patented technology. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. As a result of the acquisition of VCN (see Note 4), the Company recorded two intangible assets: in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and goodwill. The IPR&D and goodwill are deemed to have indefinite lives and therefore not amortized. IPR&D IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies that the Company acquired, which at the time of acquisition have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IPR&D assets are considered to have indefinite-lives until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs upon regulatory approval and the ability to commercialize products associated with the IPR&D assets, these assets are then deemed to have definite lives and are amortized based on their estimated useful lives at that point in time. If development is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full or partial impairment charge related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of carrying value of the IPR&D assets over fair value. During the period that the assets are considered indefinite-lived, they are tested for impairment on an annual basis on October 1, or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that could indicate an impairment. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the IPR&D with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued) Goodwill The Company tests the carrying amounts of goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performs a one-step test in its evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill if qualitative factors determine it is necessary to complete a goodwill impairment test. In the evaluation, the fair value of the relevant reporting unit is determined and compared to its carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value is deemed to be recoverable, and no further action is required. If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, and a charge is reported in impairment of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Contingent Consideration Consideration paid in a business combination may include potential future payments that are contingent upon the acquired business achieving certain milestones in the future (“contingent consideration”). Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date using the estimated future cash outflows based on the probability of meeting future milestones. The payments include milestone payments to be made upon the achievement of clinical and commercialization milestones as well as single low digit royalty payments and payments upon receipt of sublicensing income. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, the Company reassesses the actual consideration earned and the probability-weighted future earn-out payments at each balance sheet date. Any adjustment to the contingent consideration liability will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Contingent consideration liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date are presented in current liabilities, with the non-current portion recorded under long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include property, equipment, and right of use assets. Management reviews the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company determines the extent to which an asset may be impaired based upon its expectation of the asset’s future usability as well as whether there is reasonable assurance that the future cash flows associated with the asset will be in excess of its carrying amount. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. |

Research and Development Tax Credits | 3. Research and Development Tax Credits The Company, through its Theriva S.L. subsidiary, participates in a Research and Development program sponsored by the Spanish government. The program provides for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in research and development efforts the Company incurs in Spain. The reimbursements can be through either tax credits or direct refunds. The program provides for certain limits on the types and amounts of expenses and requires participants to complete a certification and apply for the refund annually. Subsequent to the period in which expenses are incurred, the program requires participants to maintain certain workforce levels and research and development expenditures over a 24-month period. In the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company completed the certification and applied for direct reimbursement, as opposed to a tax credit, for its qualifying research and development expenses incurred in the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company received approvals from the Spanish government in September and October 2023. The Company evaluated the program and concluded that it qualified to be accounted for as government assistance. Accordingly, the Company, as allowed by U.S. GAAP, elected to account for the grant by analogizing to the guidance provided by International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Accordingly, the Company recognized a tax credit receivable related to amounts that had been approved by the Spanish government prior to September 30, 2023 and a corresponding deferred research and development tax credit as it was determined that amounts became probable of being received upon the receipt of the approval. Additionally, the Company has elected to account for the tax credit as a contra-expense as this most appropriately reflects the nature of the transaction and will reduce future research and development expenditures as the Company continues to incur expenses in the upcoming 24-month period. |

BUSINESS COMBINATION | 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION Summary On March 10, 2022 (the “Closing”), the Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Theriva Biologics, S.L, which at the time was known as VCN Biosciences, S.L.(the “VCN Shares”) from the shareholders of VCN. VCN is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing new oncolytic adenoviruses for the treatment of cancer. The Company’s lead product candidate, VCN-01, is being studied in a Company sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial for pancreatic cancer with additional investigator sponsored trials in indications including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), retinoblastoma, brain tumors and ovarian cancers. VCN-01 is designed to be administered systemically, intratumorally or intravitreally, either as a monotherapy or in combination with standard of care chemotherapies or immunotherapies, to treat a wide variety of cancer indications. VCN-01 is designed to replicate selectively and aggressively within tumor cells, and to degrade the tumor stroma barrier that serves as a significant physical and immunosuppressive barrier to cancer treatment. Degrading the tumor stroma has been shown to improve access to the tumor by the virus and additional therapies such as chemo and immunotherapies. Importantly, degrading the stroma exposes tumor antigens, turning “cold” tumors “hot” and enabling a sustained anti-tumor immune response. VCN has the exclusive rights to four patent families for proprietary technologies, as well as technologies developed in collaboration with the Virotherapy Group of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO-IDIBELL) and with Hospital Sant Joan de Deu (HSJD), with a number of additional patents pending. As consideration for the purchase of the VCN Shares and pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement that the parties entered into (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company paid $4,700,000 to Grifols Innovation and New Technologies Limited (“Grifols”), the owner of approximately 86% of the equity of VCN, and issued to the remaining sellers and certain key VCN employees and consultants of VCN an aggregate of 2,639,530 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). In addition to the consideration described above, under the terms of the purchase agreement that the parties entered into, the Company assumed up to $2,390,000 of existing liabilities of VCN and has agreed to make cash payments of up to $70.2 million to Grifols upon the achievement of certain clinical and commercialization milestones. In September 2022, the Company received approval from the FDA to proceed with the Phase 2 clinical trial of VCN-01 in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”). Due to this approval, the Company paid Grifols $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. In August 2023, the Company initiated patient dosing in the U.S. in its Phase 2 clinical trial of VCN-01 in PDAC. As a result, the Company paid Grifols $3.25 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. In anticipation of the Acquisition, prior to the Closing, the Company loaned VCN $417,000 to help finance the costs of certain of VCN’s research and development activities. At the Closing, VCN and Grifols entered into a sublease agreement for the sublease by VCN of laboratory and office space as well as a transitional services agreement. As a post-Closing covenant, the Company has agreed to commit to fund VCN’s research and development programs, including, but not limited to, VCN-01 in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PDAC Phase 2 trial, VCN-01 in a retinoblastoma (RB) Phase 2/3 trial and necessary general and administrative expenses within a budgetary plan of approximately $27.8 million. Total purchase consideration including cash, shares of common stock and contingent consideration was valued at approximately $22.8 million, as follows (in thousands): Cash paid at Closing $ 4,700 Receivable from VCN “effectively settled” 417 Fair value of common shares issued 6,599 Fair value of contingent consideration 11,093 $ 22,809 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION - (continued) As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $5.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized in operating expense a $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration. Upon initiation of patient dosing in the U.S. during the three months ended September 30, 2023, $3.25 million that had previously been included as contingent consideration, became payable to Grifols and is included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized in operating expense a $227,000 and a $244,000 decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The allocation of the fair value of the VCN Acquisition updated for measurement period and other adjustments is shown in the table below. Estimated fair value ($in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents $ 837 Receivables 1,889 Property and equipment 216 In-process research and development intangible asset 19,742 Goodwill 5,696 Deferred tax liabilities, net (3,209) Accounts payable (522) Accrued expenses (113) Accrued employee benefits (90) Loans payable-current (67) Other long-term liabilities (1,570) Total purchase consideration $ 22,809 The net assets were recorded at their estimated fair value. In valuing acquired assets and liabilities, fair value estimates were based primarily on future expected cash flows, market rate assumptions for contractual obligations, and appropriate discount rates. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recognized $19.7 million of indefinite-lived in-process research and development intangible assets. Goodwill is considered an indefinite-lived asset and relates primarily to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce and synergies between the entities. Goodwill of $5.7 million was established as a result of the Acquisition and is not tax deductible. VCN operations recorded a net loss of $11.9 million from the date of Acquisition through September 30, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized the following measurement period adjustments: ● estimate of acquired liabilities resulting in a $277,000 reduction in accrued expenses and goodwill, ● estimate in the receivable from the prior owner resulting in a $176,000 increase in other receivables and reduction in goodwill. ● estimated fair value of its in-process R&D resulting in a $810,000 increase in in-process R&D, an increase of $202,000 in deferred tax liabilities and a decrease of $607,000 in goodwill. The cumulative impact of the re-measurements during the measurement period, was a reduction in accrued liabilities of $277,000, an increase in other receivables of $176,000, an increase in in-process R&D of $810,000; an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $202,000 and a decrease in goodwill of $1,061,000. 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION - (continued) Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the VCN Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2022 (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net revenues $ — $ — — $ — Net loss $ (3,303) $ (4,853) (12,864) $ (14,956) Transaction Costs In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $0.2 million in transaction costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which were expensed as general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no acquisition costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement ● Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; ● Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and ● Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these level 1 instruments. As a result of the acquisition of VCN the Company acquired interest-free or below-market interest rate loans extended by Spanish government. The carrying value of the loans payable approximate fair value and are classified under level 2. In connection with the Acquisition of VCN, the Company will be required to pay up to $70.2 million in additional consideration upon the achievement of certain milestones, including regulatory filings completed noted in Note 4. In September 2022, the Company received approval from the FDA to proceed with the Phase 2 clinical trial of VCN-01 in PDAC. Due to this approval the Company paid Grifols $3.0 million in the fourth quarter 2022. In August 2023, the Company initiated patient dosing in the U.S. in its Phase 2 clinical trial of VCN-01 in PDAC. As a result, payment was made subsequent to September 30, 2023 in the amount of $3.25 million. The discounted cash flow method used to value this contingent consideration includes inputs of not readily observable market data, which are Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $5.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and is all reflected as non-current contingent consideration liability. There were no transfers in or out of the level 3 liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 , with the exception of the reclassification of $3.25 million related to the milestone that was met in the current period and reclassified to accrued expenses. The following table summarizes the change in the fair value as determined by Level 3 inputs for the contingent consideration liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023: (in thousands) Balance at March 10, 2022 $ 12,158 Change in fair value (1,506) Balance at June 30, 2022 $ 10,652 Change in fair value 199 Balance at September 30, 2022 $ 10,851 Contingent consideration, current portion $ 8,614 Contingent consideration, net of current portion 2,237 Balance at September 30, 2022 $ 10,851 6.

As of September 30, 2023, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $539,000, which is expected to be expensed through July 2025. The FASB’s guidance for stock-based payments requires cash flows from excess tax benefits to be classified as a part of cash flows from operating activities. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock compensation costs for such options. The Company did not record any excess tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. |

Stock Warrants | 9. Stock Warrants On October 15, 2018, the Company closed its underwritten public offering pursuant to which it received gross proceeds of approximately $18.6 million before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company and sold (i) Class A Units (the “Class A Units”), consisting of an aggregate of 252,000 shares of the Common Stock, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 252,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $13.80 per share, which subsequently was reduced to $6.90 per share and then again to $1.22 (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) and (ii) Class B Units (the “Class B Units”, and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”), consisting of an aggregate of 15,723 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $1,000 and convertible into shares of Common Stock at the stated value divided by a conversion price of $11.50 per share, with all shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 1,367,218 shares of Common Stock, and issued with a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 1,367,218 shares of Common Stock. On November 16, 2020, the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced from $13.80 per Warrant per full share of the Company’s Common Stock, to $6.90 per Warrant per full share of Common Stock in accordance with the antidilution terms of the Warrant. The reduction was the result of the issuance of shares of Common Stock by the Company through its ATM facility. The effect of the change in the exercise price of the Warrants as a result of the triggering of the down round protection clause in the Warrants was recorded as a deemed dividend of $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which reduces the income available to common stockholders. In addition, pursuant to the underwriting agreement that the Company had entered into with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Underwriters”), as representative of the underwriters, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45 day option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 242,883 shares of Common Stock and/or additional Warrants to purchase an additional 242,883 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriters partially exercised the Over-allotment Option by electing to purchase from the Company additional Warrants to purchase 180,783 shares of Common Stock. 9. Stock Warrants – (continued) If, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the holder, then the Warrants may only be exercised through a cashless exercise. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, the holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the fair market value of any such fractional shares. The Company has concluded that the Warrants are required to be equity classified. The Warrants were valued on the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, 1,165,575 Warrants were exercised for cash proceeds of $8.0 million. There were no Warrants exercised during the year ended December 31, 2022, or the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Warrants have expired in October 2023 and are no longer outstanding. On August 3, 2022, the Company announced the exercise price of Warrants issued by the Company in October 2018 was reduced from $6.90 per Warrant per full share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share to $1.22 per Warrant per full share of Common Stock. The reduction was the result of the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock by the Company in a private placement. The effect of the change in the exercise price of the Warrants as a result of the triggering of the down round protection clause in the Warrants was recorded as a deemed dividend of $340,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022, which reduces the income available to common stockholders. A summary of all warrant activity for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 is as follows: Weighted Average Number of Weighted Average Remaining Warrants Exercise Price Contractual Life Balance at December 31, 2021 634,497 1.24 1.78 years Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited (71) 182 Balance at December 31, 2022 634,426 $ 1.22 0.78 years Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited — — Balance at September 30, 2023 634,426 $ 1.22 0.03 years |

Net Loss per Share | |
Net Loss per Share | 10. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including the effect of common share equivalents. Diluted net loss per share assumes the issuance of potential dilutive common shares outstanding for the period and adjusts for any changes in income and the repurchase of common shares that would have occurred from the assumed issuance, unless such effect is anti-dilutive. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $3.3 million and 12.9, respectively. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $4.8 million and $13.6 million, respectively. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes the effect of the warrant exercise price adjustment of $340,000. The number of options and warrants for the purchase of common stock that were excluded from the computations of net loss per common share and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were 2,284,336 and 634,426, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 607,370 and 634,497, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive. |

The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible, at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) of $1.22 per share (subject in certain circumstances to adjustments), into an aggregate of 2,459,016 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock and, in certain circumstances, by the Company. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing. The Company included certain proposals at its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, including (i) an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to change the name of the Company to “Theriva Biologics, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), (ii) an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, as amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 350,000,000 (the “Authorized Common Stock Increase”) and (iii) to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the Authorized Common Stock Increase (collectively, the “Stockholder Items”). The purchaser of the Preferred Stock agreed in the Purchase Agreement to (i) not transfer, offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares of the Preferred Stock until the earlier of the date that the Authorized Common Stock Increase is effected or October 26, 2022 (which may be extended to December 31, 2022 if certain conditions are met), and (ii) vote the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock purchased in the Offering in favor of the Stockholder Items.

The holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends, on an as-if converted basis, equal to dividends actually paid, if any, on shares of Common Stock. The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificates of Designation for stock dividends and stock splits, subsequent rights offering, pro rata distributions of dividends or the occurrence of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the applicable Certificate of Designation). The Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are classified as temporary equity as a result of the deemed liquidation provision.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company renewed its Rockville, MD facility lease by entering into a Second Lease Amendment which extends the lease term for 63 months beginning on September 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2027 at stated rental rates and including a 3-month The Company also leases research and office facilities in Barcelona, Spain for its 100 percent owned Theriva S.L. subsidiary. The lease that was in existence from December 2021 to December 2022 was a short term agreement with a 90-day Operating lease costs are presented as part of general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 approximated $156,000 and $454,000, respectively and $163,000 and $409,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies (continued) Risks and Uncertainties The uncertain financial markets, disruptions in supply chains, mobility restraints, and changing priorities as well as volatile asset values could impact the Company’s business in the future. The Company and its third-party contract manufacturers, contract research organizations, and clinical sites may also face disruptions in procuring items that are essential to the Company’s research and development activities, including, for example, medical and laboratory supplies used in its clinical trials or preclinical studies, in each case, that are sourced from abroad or for which there are shortages because of ongoing efforts to address the outbreak. Further, although the Company has not experienced any material adverse effects on its business due to increasing inflation, it has raised operating costs for many businesses and, in the future, could impact demand or pricing manufacturing of its drug candidates or services providers, foreign exchange rates or employee wages. The Company is actively monitoring the effects that these disruptions and increasing inflation could have on its operations. Through the VCN Acquisition, the Company has operations in Spain related to conducting research and development, manufacturing, and clinical trials in Western European countries. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the war in the Middle East, and the retaliatory measures that have been taken, or could be taken in the future, by the United States, NATO, and other countries have created global security concerns that could result in a regional conflict and otherwise have a lasting impact on regional and global economies, any or all of which could disrupt the Company’s supply chain, and despite the fact that it currently does not plan any clinical trials in Eastern Europe, may adversely impact the cost and conduct of R&D, manufacturing, and international clinical trials of its product candidates. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Business Combination | Business Combination The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that all identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from acquired patented technology. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. As a result of the acquisition of VCN (see Note 4), the Company recorded two intangible assets: in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and goodwill. The IPR&D and goodwill are deemed to have indefinite lives and therefore not amortized. |
IPR&D | IPR&D IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies that the Company acquired, which at the time of acquisition have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. IPR&D assets are considered to have indefinite-lives until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs upon regulatory approval and the ability to commercialize products associated with the IPR&D assets, these assets are then deemed to have definite lives and are amortized based on their estimated useful lives at that point in time. If development is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full or partial impairment charge related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of carrying value of the IPR&D assets over fair value. During the period that the assets are considered indefinite-lived, they are tested for impairment on an annual basis on October 1, or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that could indicate an impairment. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the IPR&D with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. |
Goodwill | Goodwill The Company tests the carrying amounts of goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performs a one-step test in its evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill if qualitative factors determine it is necessary to complete a goodwill impairment test. In the evaluation, the fair value of the relevant reporting unit is determined and compared to its carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, then the carrying value is deemed to be recoverable, and no further action is required. If the fair value estimate is less than the carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, and a charge is reported in impairment of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. |
Contingent Consideration | Contingent Consideration Consideration paid in a business combination may include potential future payments that are contingent upon the acquired business achieving certain milestones in the future (“contingent consideration”). Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date using the estimated future cash outflows based on the probability of meeting future milestones. The payments include milestone payments to be made upon the achievement of clinical and commercialization milestones as well as single low digit royalty payments and payments upon receipt of sublicensing income. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, the Company reassesses the actual consideration earned and the probability-weighted future earn-out payments at each balance sheet date. Any adjustment to the contingent consideration liability will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Contingent consideration liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date are presented in current liabilities, with the non-current portion recorded under long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include property, equipment, and right of use assets. Management reviews the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company determines the extent to which an asset may be impaired based upon its expectation of the asset’s future usability as well as whether there is reasonable assurance that the future cash flows associated with the asset will be in excess of its carrying amount. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. |
