Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to raise additional capital to support our manufacturing operations and other operations, our ability to develop products of commercial value and to identify the outcome of research and development activities, our reliance on third-parties, our ability to successfully operate a manufacturing facility, competitive developments, the effect of current and future legislation and regulation and regulatory actions, as well as other risks described more fully in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Scorpius Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company” or “Scorpius”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of future or annual results.
Unless otherwise noted, all share amounts and per share data in prior period interim consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the
reverse stock split that occurred on July 17, 2024.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $
The Company expects to incur significant expenses and continued losses from operations for the foreseeable future. The Company expects significant expenses in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly as the Company ramps up operations of the biomanufacturing facility in San Antonio while simultaneously striving to mitigate the impact to ongoing operations resulting from the manufacturing lease termination further described in Note 12. In addition, any new business ventures that the Company may engage in are likely to require commitments of capital. Accordingly, the Company will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with its planned operations. Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, it will be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs, any future commercialization efforts or the manufacturing services it plans to provide. To meet its capital needs, the Company intends to continue to consider multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings such as sales of its common stock under at-the-market offerings, debt financings, equipment sale leasebacks, partnerships, grants, funding collaborations and other funding transactions, if any are available. In February 2025, the Company engaged a third party to assist in exploring strategic alternatives.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, a small customer base with mostly short-term contracts, uncertainty of market acceptance of the Company’s service offerings, market competition from similar and larger sized CDMO companies, competitive pricing pressure, and dependence on key individuals and sole source suppliers.
8
The Company depends on third-party suppliers for key materials and services used in research and development, as well as manufacturing processes, and is subject to certain risks related to the loss of these third-party suppliers or their inability to supply adequate materials and services. If third-party suppliers do not supply raw materials on a timely basis, the Company’s manufacturing services may be delayed or canceled which would adversely impact its financial condition and results of operations. If the Company’s suppliers are non-compliant with the FDA’s quality system regulations or other applicable laws or regulations, the Company would be required to find alternative suppliers.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurable limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to such balances and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, there were
Other Assets
The balance at December 31, 2024 consists of $
Contingent Earn-Out Receivable, Related Party and Related Party Receivable
Contingent earn-out receivable, related party represented the estimated fair value of royalty earnout payments related to consideration from the divestiture of Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Elusys”) to Elusys Holdings, Inc. (“Elusys Holdings”), a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jeffrey Wolf.
The contingent earn-out provisions were prescribed by the Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 11, 2023, by and between Elusys Holdings and the Company.
On July 30, 2024, the Purchase Agreement was amended (the “First Amendment”) which, among other provisions, restructured the contingent earn-out to a fixed $
Convertible and Non-convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party
The Company accounts for its convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under ASC 815-15-25, an election can be made at the inception of a financial instrument to measure the instrument at fair value (the “fair value option”) under ASC 825 as long as no part of the financial instrument is classified as a component of equity. The Company has determined all relevant criteria have been met and has made such election for its convertible promissory notes, related party because the election allows the Company to present a single liability, inclusive of embedded features which might otherwise require separate recognition. The election has been made for non-convertible promissory notes, related party, to provide consistency across all eligible financial instruments. As a result, these promissory notes are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and remeasured at each balance sheet date thereafter. Subsequent changes in their estimated fair value are recognized as a change in the fair value of the convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party, in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company does not separately report interest attributable to financial instruments accounted for pursuant to the fair value option because such interest is included in the determination of fair value of those financial instruments and changes thereto. The change in fair value attributable to the change in the instrument-specific credit risk,
9
if any, is presented separately in other comprehensive income. No such amounts were reported in other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
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, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements, including its footnote disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which is intended to improve the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The amendments in the update clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments also make additional clarifications to assist stakeholders in applying the guidance, including a clarification that the induced conversion guidance applies to a convertible debt instrument that is not currently convertible as long as it had a substantive conversion feature as of both its issuance date and the date the inducement offer is accepted. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments of ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments may be applied on either a prospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements, including its footnote disclosures.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncement has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a basis for determining the fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company utilizes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level I – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level II – Observable inputs, other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level III – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the entire fair value measurement requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. Cash equivalents are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term investments consist of Level I securities which are comprised of highly liquid money market funds. The estimated fair value of the short-term investments is based on quoted market prices. There were
The fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis is as follows:

The estimated fair value of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes (defined below) uses Monte Carlo simulation trials through a lattice model incorporating Geometric Brownian Motion. The simulations are weighted based on projected future stock prices, the volatility of a set of guideline companies, and significant unobservable inputs. Each simulation is based on the range of inputs in a scenario with the mean of the output on each simulation calculated as an average. In addition to the significant unobservable inputs in the preceding table, the Monte Carlo simulations include assumptions related to the timing and probability of i) a fundamental transaction and ii) an eligible subsequent placement, both as defined by the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes.

Common Stock Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants
The Company’s common stock warrants allow for potential settlement in cash if certain extraordinary events are effected by the Company, including a 50% or greater change of control in the Company’s common stock. Except in relation to the December 2024 Common Warrants, those events have been deemed to be within the Company’s control. As a result, the Company applies equity treatment for its common stock warrants following the guidance established by ASC Topic 815-40, except for the December 2024 Common Warrants for which the Company applies liability treatment.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and contract liabilities (customer deposits and deferred revenue). Contract liabilities represent customer deposits and deferred revenue billed and/or received in advance of the Company’s fulfillment of performance obligations. Contract liabilities convert to revenue as the Company performs its obligations under the contract.

10. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Fully diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. The Company applies the treasury stock method for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible debt when determining common equivalent shares. As the Company’s pre-funded warrants are issuable for little to no consideration and do not contain any conditions that must be satisfied for the holder to receive the shares, pre-funded warrants are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share.
19
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, all of the Company’s common stock options, warrants, and convertible debt are anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations.

The Company incurred losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and is forecasting additional losses through the year, resulting in an estimated net loss for both financial statement and tax purposes for the year ending December 31, 2025. Due to the Company’s history of losses, there is not sufficient evidence to record a net deferred tax asset associated with the U.S., Australian, and German operations. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded related to the net deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

As of April 28, 2025, the Company received $
21
On April 16, 2025, the Company received a notice from the NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American LLC under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide because the Company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was due to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than April 15, 2025. The April 30, 2025 filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 satisfied the late filing notification; however, it did not satisfy other deficiencies.
On April 21, 2025, the Company received notice from the NYSE Regulation that it had suspended trading of the Company’s common stock and commenced proceedings to delist the common stock from the NYSE American as a result of its determination that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the low selling price of the common stock. Although the Company had the right to a review of the staff’s determination to delist the common stock by the Listings Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the NYSE American, the Company did not request a review of, or appeal, the staff’s determination. The Company’s shares of common stock began trading on the OTC Markets Pink Limited exchange on April 22, 2025.
On May 1, 2025, the NYSE American filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s common stock, which delisting became effective ten days after the filing of the Form 25. The Company will remain a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to continued disclosure of financial and operational information.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”). The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” You should review the disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and the 2024 Annual Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
Through our subsidiary, Scorpius Biomanufacturing, Inc. (“Scorpius Bio”), we provide process development and biomanufacturing services to support the biomanufacturing needs of third parties. Scorpius Bio couples CGMP biomanufacturing and quality control expertise with cutting edge capabilities in immunoassays, molecular assays, and bioanalytical methods to support cell- and gene-based therapies as well as large molecule biologics using American-made equipment, reagents, and materials. We anticipate our prioritization of American-made equipment, reagents, and materials paired with domestic sourcing of biomanufacturing expertise will make us competitive for U.S. government contracts and biodefense assets. We anticipate this will successfully support our expansion within the growing CDMO market.
We commenced operations of the leased San Antonio facility in September 2022. The lease at 1305 E. Houston Street, Building 2, at our facility was terminated in March 2025 due to non-payment of rent, and as further described below, we are striving to mitigate the resulting impact to ongoing manufacturing operations. In order to promote efficiency and reduce our reliance on third-party vendors, we have enhanced our in-house development of bioanalytic, process development and manufacturing capabilities and offer such services to third parties for fees. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these new operations.
We intend to meet our financing needs for the operations of the facility through multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, cash on hand, revenue from our CDMO biomanufacturing facility, grant funding, additional equity financings, debt financings, equipment sale leasebacks, and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations.
On February 26, 2025, we announced that we had engaged Alliance Global Partners to assist in exploring strategic alternatives for us. This engagement is part of our ongoing efforts to maximize shareholder value and evaluate a range of potential strategic opportunities. Our leadership remains committed to leveraging its scientific and technical expertise to enhance its position in the biomanufacturing sector while considering various avenues to drive long-term growth. There can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or other strategic change or as to the timing of any such potential agreement or transaction.
Recent Developments
NYSE American Delisting Notification
On April 16, 2025, we received a notice from the NYSE Regulation stating that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American LLC under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide because we failed to timely file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was due to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than April 15, 2025. The April 30, 2025 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 satisfied the late filing notification; however, it did not satisfy our other deficiencies.
23
On April 21, 2025, we received notice from the NYSE Regulation that it had suspended trading of our common stock and commenced proceedings to delist our common stock from the NYSE American as a result of its determination that we are no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the low selling price of our common stock. Although we had a right to a review of the staff’s determination to delist our common stock by the Listings Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the NYSE American, we did not request a review of, or appeal, the staff’s determination. Our shares of common stock began trading on the OTC Markets Pink Limited exchange on April 22, 2025.
On May 1, 2025, the NYSE American filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist our common stock, which delisting became effective ten days after the filing of the Form 25. We will remain a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to continued disclosure of financial and operational information.
Directors
On March 3, 2025, we increased the size of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to five members and appointed Tan Sze Thuan to serve as a director. On June 4, 2025, Tan Sze Thuan notified us of his decision to resign, effective immediately, from his position as a member of the Board. Mr. Thuan did not advise us of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Mr. Thuan served as a non-employee director and did not hold a position on any committee of the Board.
On May 2, 2025, John Prendergast, Ph.D., a member of the Board, notified the Board of his decision to resign, effective immediately, from his position as a member of the Board and related Committees. Mr. Prendergast did not advise us of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Mr. Prendergast served as our Lead Independent Director, Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board, and a member of the Audit Committee of the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 17, 2024, we effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with resulting fractional shares paid in cash. Corresponding adjustments were also made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of our convertible securities, outstanding equity awards, and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise prices. Unless otherwise noted, we have retroactively adjusted all share amounts and per share data in this Quarterly Report to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Assignment of Lease for Principal Offices
On March 7, 2025, we entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Lease (the “Lease Assignment”) with a third party assignee and the landlord pursuant to which we assigned all of our rights and obligations under our lease, dated June 21, 2021, as amended, for our former principal offices in Morrisville, North Carolina. In connection with the Lease Assignment, we paid fees of $224,651 to our broker, $55,720 to the landlord for March 2025 rent due under the lease, and sold certain furniture, fixtures and equipment on the leased premises to the assignee for $55,720. In connection with the Lease Assignment, we derecognized the related operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability and recognized a loss of $1,600,531. In connection with the sale of furniture, fixtures and equipment, we recognized a loss on sale of $721,564, including the $55,720 rent payment that was, economically, a wash of the sale proceeds.
Settlement of Related Party Receivable
On March 12, 2025, we entered into a Second Amendment to Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment to Divestiture Agreement”) with Elusys Holdings. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to Divestiture Agreement, the $2.5 million cash payment required to be made pursuant to the Note Amendment was eliminated in exchange for the payment by Elusys Holdings of $550,000 in cash, which amount was paid to us on March 12, 2025.
Lease Termination
24
On March 24, 2025, we received a notice of lease termination due to non-payment of rent, effective immediately, from TPB Merchants Ice LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Lessor”), the lessor of our principal manufacturing space (the “Premises”) at 1305 E. Houston Street, Building 2, in San Antonio, terminating that certain Lease dated December 31, 2022, between Lessor and us for the Premises, resulting in a loss on lease termination of $4,132,767. Negotiations failed with the Lessor to replace the terminated lease with a license or similar conveyance of rights to occupy and use the Premises. We intend for the outcome of a strategic plan to include a successful resolution to the lease termination which will allow us to better execute on our operating plans, however, there can be no assurance that such a strategic plan will be successful.
Convertible Debt with Warrants
The December 2024 Offering; December 2024 Purchase Agreement; December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes; December 2024 Common Warrants; December 2024 Conversion Price; December 2024 Exercise Price; and Maximum Percentage are defined and/or and more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The following information reflects significant developments subsequent to December 31, 2024 with respect to these items. Also refer to Note 7 “Debt” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information.
The initial December 2024 Conversion Price was equal to $0.50, which was adjusted by amendment to $0.25 in February 2025 for both institutional investors. For one institutional investor holding a December 2024 Secured Convertible Note with an aggregate original principal balance of $12,416,667, the conversion price was further adjusted by amendment in May 2025 to $0.06 and in July 2025 to the lower of i) $0.06 or ii) 55% of the average of the three lowest traded prices during the preceding twenty days immediately prior to conversion (the “Market Price”).
The initial December 2024 Exercise Price was equal to $0.50, which was adjusted by amendment to $0.25 in February 2025 for both institutional investors. The exercise price was further adjusted by amendment to $0.06 in May 2025 for one institutional investor holding warrants for the exercise of up to 12,416,667 shares of common stock. The adjustments to the December 2024 Exercise Price did not change the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the December 2024 Common Warrants.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 6,019,444 shares of common stock upon the partial conversions of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes at conversion prices of $0.50 and $0.25. The outstanding balance of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, including principal, accrued interest, and the Make-Whole Amount was $14,994,810 at both March 31, 2025 and August 22, 2025.
The holders of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes have not demanded payment or declared a default, however, as of August 22, 2025, we have failed to satisfy the first three quarterly payments on January 2, 2025, April 1, 2025, and July 1, 2025.
On June 9, 2025, one institutional investor filed notice to increase the Maximum Percentage to 9.99%, effective August 9, 2025, applicable to the one institutional investor as permitted by the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes.
Non-Convertible Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued three non-convertible promissory notes with an aggregate original issuance of $2,200,000 to an institutional investor, and subsequent to March 31, 2025, we issued nine non-convertible promissory notes with an aggregate original issuance of $4,040,000 to the same institutional investor (collectively, the “2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party”). The 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party accrue interest at 5.0% per annum and mature at the earlier of i) the stated maturity date; ii) the consummation of a corporate event, as defined; or iii) when, upon or after an event of default. The maturity of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party range from 35 to 78 days from issuance with a weighted average of 65 days.
All payments upon maturity, redemption or prepayment of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party shall include, together with all other amounts of principal and/or interest, a premium payment equal to 5% of the principal
25
amount. On April 30, 2025, we repaid $472,500 of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, including principal and premium of $450,000 and $22,500, respectively. The outstanding principal balance of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party is $5,790,000 at August 22, 2025.
The 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party contain customary events of default, including if we or any of our subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate, fails to pay indebtedness in excess of $150,000 due to any third party, subject to certain exceptions, or if an event of default occurs under any other outstanding promissory note. If at any time any of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party are outstanding we consummate a subsequent Financing, as defined, the holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that we redeem the entire outstanding balance of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, together with all accrued interest thereon, using up to 100% of the gross proceeds of such Financing.
The institutional investor has not demanded payment, however, we are in default on the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party as a result of our failure to repay amounts when due and failing to pay indebtedness in excess of $150,000 to certain third parties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our critical accounting estimates, the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, remain unchanged from those summarized in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2024 Annual Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenues. Revenue decreased $3.3 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same three-month period in 2024. The largest customer during the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing revenue of $2.3 million, migrated to a larger CDMO during 2024.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues decreased $0.5 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same three-month period in 2024. Cost of revenues primarily consisted of the direct cost of labor and material costs at Scorpius Bio. The decrease in cost of revenues is primarily due to lower production levels.
Research and development expense. The majority of our research and development activities are performed on behalf of our customers in our role as their CDMO. Whereas labor costs directly attributable to customer projects are classified and reported as cost of revenues, all other CDMO costs, including labor costs, that are not of an administrative nature are classified and reported as research and development expense. Research and development expense decreased $0.7 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same three-month period in 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.0 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to general cost cutting measures that delayed, reduced, or eliminated certain spend.
26
Change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable, related party. The contingent earn-out receivable, related party was reclassified to related party receivable on July 30, 2024 as described in our 2024 Annual Report.
Total non-operating expense. A portion of non-operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 relate to changes in fair value of financial instruments that either require measurement at fair value or that we have elected to measure at fair value. No financial instrument measured at fair value at March 31, 2024 remained on our balance sheet at March 31, 2025. Details of our fair value measurements can be found in Note 3 Fair Value of Financial Instruments of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). The $1.1 million decrease in other income is due to the $1.0 million license revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As further described in Note 12 Leases of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), we recognized a loss on lease assignment of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We also recognized a loss of $0.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the loss on settlement of related party receivable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of August 22, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $0.3 million.
We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $297.9 million through March 31, 2025. We have incurred negative cash flows from operations since we started our business. We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development efforts, our clinical trials, and our research and discovery efforts. We have not yet generated significant revenue from operations and do not anticipate that we will generate sufficient revenue from operations in the near term to sustain our operations and therefore we will need to raise capital to sustain our operations.
We expect to incur significant expenses and continued losses from operations for the foreseeable future despite our sale of Elusys Therapeutics and the reduced expenses resulting from such sale. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we continue to increase operations at our facility in San Antonio. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated approximately $0.2 million in revenue and used cash in operating activities of approximately $3.4 million. To date the revenue generated from our operations in San Antonio has not been sufficient to cover our operating expenses and we have raised money through the various completed public offerings and debt issuances described above and in our 2024 Annual Report.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of this filing. At August 22, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $0.3 million. Our current cash, including revenue generated from operations and the proceeds from the completed public offerings from the sale of common stock and various debt issuances, is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations only through August 2025.
We intend to meet our financing needs through multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, cash on hand, revenue from our CDMO biomanufacturing facility, additional equity financings, debt financings, equipment sale leasebacks, and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations. We are also exploring strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing these plans. If we do not raise capital or successfully engage a strategic partner in the next few months, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our operations, sell some of our assets, cease operations, liquidate our assets or reorganize the Company, or a combination of the foregoing.

Operating activities
The $6.6 million increase in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was partially offset by the $4.4 million increase in noncash expenses, including the losses on lease assignment and termination described above and changes in fair value estimates. Working capital changes attributed $3.5 million to the change in cash from operating activities, including $1.8 million related to deferred revenue. The change in deferred revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 corresponds to the reduced production and revenue generating activities described herein.
Investing activities
The change in cash flows from investing activities is primarily related to a significant liquidation of short-term investments that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in proceeds of $2.8 million. We also received proceeds of $1.0 million from the sale of an intellectual property license during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease of $0.8 million is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of issuance costs, of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the $0.6 million proceeds from the settlement of related party receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current and Future Financing Needs
Since our inception in June 2008, we have incurred significant losses and we have financed our operations with net proceeds from the private placement of our preferred stock, common stock and debt and more recently the assignment of certain non-core assets pursuant to the terms of the Patent Agreement, the Original Elusys Convertible Note and the public offering of our common stock. Since our initial public offering, we have not generated significant revenue from operations and have primarily financed our operations with net proceeds from the public offering of our securities and to a lesser extent, the proceeds from the exercise of warrants. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $297.9 million. We had a net loss of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. At August 22, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $0.3 million. Our current cash, including revenue generated from operations and the proceeds from the completed public offerings from the sale of common stock and various debt issuances, is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations only through August 2025, and therefore, we need to raise additional funds either through operations or financings.
We will need to raise additional capital. However, the actual amount of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include the following:
● | our ability to attract customers for our CDMO services and retain current customers; |
● | our ability to timely complete projects within estimated budgets; |
● | the number and scope of our research programs; |
28
● | the progress of our research activities; |
● | the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we have entered into research and development agreements; |
● | our expansion plans and cash needs of any new projects; and |
● | additional CDMO equipment costs. |
We have based our estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our equity or debt and other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by our inability to utilize a registration statement on Form S-3 to raise capital until November 2026 at the earliest, due to the late filing of this Quarterly Report and the late filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which date may be extended if certain other filings of ours are not timely filed, that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that we may sell. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed. If we do not raise capital or successfully engage a strategic partner in the near term, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our operations, sell some of our assets, cease operations, liquidate our assets or reorganize the Company, or a combination of the foregoing.
On February 26, 2025, we announced that we had engaged Alliance Global Partners to explore strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or other strategic change or as to the timing of any such potential agreement or transaction. Scorpius does not intend to disclose further developments unless and until the Board of Directors has approved a specific course of action or determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.
Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements are issued. To meet our capital needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, which include sales of our common stock under at-the-market offerings, if available, debt financings, equipment sales leasebacks, collaborations and other funding transactions. This is based on our current estimates, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, we have approximately $0.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so. Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements are issued.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information
29
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that were reported in our 2024 Annual Report, which have not been remediated. The material weaknesses are further described below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our management concluded that the following material weaknesses existed as of March 31, 2025:
● | As first reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), we identified ineffective information technology general controls in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to certain information technology systems that support our financial reporting process. As a result, certain activity level controls were also deemed to be ineffective that are dependent on information derived from these information technology systems. |
● | As first reported in our 2022 Annual Report, we determined that we had made certain errors in the manner in which we recognized the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to the acquisition of Elusys Therapeutics with the result that net loss had been overstated in our quarterly filings for the periods ending June 30, 2022 through September 30, 2022. As a result, we determined that there were material errors in the financial statements that required a restatement of our Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022 through September 30, 2022. This was due to the inadequate design and implementation of controls to evaluate and monitor the accounting for income taxes. |
● | As first reported in our 2022 Annual Report, we identified a material weakness related to the ineffective design of certain management review controls across a significant portion of our financial statement areas, particularly with regard to the precision of the review and evidence of review procedures performed. |
● | As first reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness related to the ineffective design and implementation of controls around process development revenue recognition, specifically, controls over the review of labor hours incurred and expected to be incurred in satisfaction of our performance obligations, and as first reported in our 2024 Annual Report, standalone selling price. |
● | As first reported in our 2024 Annual Report, we identified a material weakness related to ineffective design and implementation of controls over identifying and recording impairments of long-lived assets. This deficiency resulted from a lack of sufficient precision in our review of the impairment of long-lived assets. |
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we will change certain control activities over financial reporting to include, but not limited to, the following: (i) evaluating and implementing enhanced process controls around user access management and segregation of duties, (ii) expanding the documentation over user access and system controls and enhancing the level of evidence maintained in management review controls and (iii) enhancing the design of existing controls and are implementing new controls over the accounting, processing, and recording of income tax and revenue.
We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible.
30
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, other than the plan discussed above under “Remediation of Material Weaknesses”, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2024 Annual Report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors and uncertainties disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.
We have not generated, and do not anticipate generating, significant revenue in the near future.
To date, we have not generated significant revenue from our business and a significant portion of our revenue has been revenue from lines of business in which we are no longer engaged. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $11.3 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had net losses of approximately $34.3 and $46.8 million, respectively. We do not anticipate generating any significant revenue from the provision of CDMO services for several years as we are a new entrant into that line of business. Even if we generate revenue from the provision of services, there can be no assurance that we will be profitable. Establishing the manufacturing facility required us to incur significant expenses before any revenue was realized from the facility. We have insufficient results for investors to use to identify historical trends. Investors should consider our prospects in light of the risk, expenses and difficulties we will encounter as an early-stage company. Our revenue and income potential is unproven and our business model is continually evolving. We are subject to the risks inherent to the operation of a new business enterprise and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully address these risks.
If we do not generate sufficient revenue from operations, we will need to raise additional capital to support our long-term business plans and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce, or eliminate our development programs or commercialization efforts.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $3.4 million and as of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $0.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $26.0 million and as of December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $1.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $31.5 million and as of December 31, 2023 our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $2.4 million. We have
31
experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our accumulated deficit was $297.9 million, $287.2 million, and $254.4 million, respectively, on a consolidated basis. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. We do not expect to derive significant revenue from our CDMO services until we expand our customer base.
Our current cash is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations through August 2025. We expect that we will need additional future financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Unless we generate significant revenue from operations in the next few weeks, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. Unless our revenue increases from past historical revenue, our current cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from our recent completed public offerings and debt issuances, is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations through August 2025. To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, which we expect will include sales of common stock, debt financings, equipment sale leasebacks, and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by our inability to utilize a registration statement on Form S-3 to raise capital until August 2026 due to the late filing of this Quarterly Report and the late filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which date may be extended if certain other filings of ours are not timely filed, and various rules of the SEC that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that we may sell. In addition, our current outstanding debt holders have a right to require us to use 25% of any proceeds received from each future financing to repay their loans. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants (such as those in our current debt financing) that may impact our ability to conduct our business. Since our common stock has been delisted from trading on the NYSE American, we are limited in the types of financings we can effect. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we have to restructure the Company including a work force reduction, or initiate steps to cease operations or liquidate our assets.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of $297.9 million and a net loss of approximately $11.3 million. We have an accumulated deficit of $287.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and a net loss of approximately $34.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. We have not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations and expect to incur significant expenses and continued losses from operations for the foreseeable future. Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern; however, we have incurred significant losses from operations to date and we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the financial statements are issued. Our auditor also included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 with respect to this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. The various ways that we could raise capital carry potential risks. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our technologies or tests or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. As such, we cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are filed with the SEC and there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have incurred net losses every year since our inception and expect to continue to generate operating losses and it is uncertain whether we will achieve profitability.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $11.3 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred a net loss of $34.3 million and $46.8 million, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit
32
of $297.9 million through March 31, 2025. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from operations. As stated above, we do not anticipate generating significant revenue from our CDMO services until such time as the facility is fully operational and operating at full capacity. Our ability to achieve profitability will depend on us successfully scaling up as a CDMO, market acceptance of our services, and our capacity to develop, introduce and sell our services to our targeted markets. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we generate sufficient revenue from CDMO services to support the expenses anticipated to be incurred by the facility. Accordingly, the extent of future losses and the time required to achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be predicted at this point.
Even if we succeed in generating revenue as a CDMO, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we implement additional internal systems and infrastructure and hire additional personnel.
We also expect to experience negative cash flows for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues or raise additional financing in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability would likely negatively impact the value of our securities and financing activities. If we do not raise capital or successfully engage a strategic partner in the near term, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our operations, sell some of our assets, cease operations, liquidate our assets or reorganize the Company, or a combination of the foregoing.
We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of our system of internal control. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules that govern public companies. In particular, we are required to certify our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires us to furnish annually a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The existence of one or more material weaknesses precludes a conclusion by management that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) ineffective information technology general controls in the areas of user access and segregation of duties; (ii) ineffective design of management review controls over the computation of disclosure of income taxes; (iii) the ineffective design of certain management review controls across financial statement areas with respect to the precision and evidence of review procedures performed; (iv) the ineffective design and implementation of controls around revenue recognition specific to our review of labor hours incurred, labor hours expected to be incurred, and standalone selling price; and (v) the ineffective design and implementation of controls over identifying and recording impairments of long-lived assets with respect to the precision of our review. As a result of the material weaknesses, we believe that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the quarter ended March 31, 2025. In preparing our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we determined that the material weaknesses still exist in our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls were ineffective. Management is committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses. Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts.
We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or
33
avoid material weaknesses in the future. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, including increased complexity resulting from our international expansion. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
If we are not able to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or if we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements or guarantee that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file with the SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures could cause our investors to lose confidence in our publicly reported information, cause the market price of our stock to decline, expose us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, or impact our results of operations.
Certain of our convertible and non-convertible notes have covenants and other provisions that restrict or prohibit certain activities.
The 9% senior secured convertible notes that we issued on December 6, 2024 (the “December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $13,388,889 and the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party contain, and any future indebtedness agreements may contain, certain covenants that restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs, restrict certain of our expenditures or restrict us from engaging in other business activities. The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes prohibit us and our subsidiaries from incurring any new indebtedness and they also provide that while the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes remain outstanding, we are required to maintain a net monthly cash burn of not more than $1,800,000, calculated on an average trailing-three-month basis, decreasing by increments of $500,000 every three months. As of the date of this filing, we are not compliance with these restrictive covenants in the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes and the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve compliance with such covenants in the future. Although no default has been declared by the holders of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes and 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, any failure to comply with these restrictive covenants could result in a declaration of default, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
Certain of our convertible notes are secured by our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, and a default thereunder could result in us losing the pledged assets.
The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum payable in cash on the first business day of each fiscal quarter beginning January 2, 2025 and mature on December 6, 2027, unless prior thereto there is an event of default, including the failure of Jeffrey Wolf to remain as our Chief Executive Officer. There is no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient capital to be able to make the required interest payments under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes. We and each of our domestic subsidiaries granted security interests in all of our assets, including, without limitation, deposit accounts, cash, equipment, contract rights, general intangibles and certain pledged securities, to secure our obligations under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes. We and each of our domestic subsidiaries have also guaranteed our obligations under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes and as surety for repayment thereof. The holders of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes have not demanded payment or declared a default, however, as of August 22, 2025, we have failed to satisfy the first three quarterly payments on January 2, 2025, April 1, 2025, and July 1, 2025. Unless waived, this payment default or any other default on any obligations owed under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, including the affirmative and negative covenants contained therein, could result in our assets being foreclosed upon or require us to redeem the notes. Any action to proceed against our assets would likely have a serious disruptive effect on our business operations.
34
We may be unable to attract a satisfactory strategic alternative.
On February 26, 2025, we announced that we had engaged Alliance Global Partners to assist in exploring strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction or other strategic change or as to the timing of any such potential agreement or transaction.
