Nature of Business, Going Concern and Management's Plan |
Nature of Business, Going Concern and Management's Plan | (1) Nature of Business, Going Concern and Management’s Plan Annovis Bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “Annovis”) was incorporated on April 29, 2008, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Annovis is a late-stage clinical drug platform company addressing neurodegeneration, such as Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) and Parkinson’s disease (“PD”). The toxic cascade in neurodegeneration begins with high levels of neurotoxic proteins, which lead to impaired axonal transport, inflammation, death of nerve cells and loss of cognition and motor function. The Company’s lead product candidate, buntanetap, is a small molecule administered orally that is designed to attack neurodegeneration by entering the brain and inhibiting the translation of multiple neurotoxic proteins, thereby impeding the toxic cascade. High levels of neurotoxic proteins lead to reduced axonal transport, which is responsible for the communication between and within nerve cells. When that communication is compromised, the immune system is activated and attacks the nerve cells, eventually killing them. The Company has shown in its clinical studies in AD and PD patients as well as in pre-clinical studies in mice and rats that buntanetap lowered neurotoxic protein levels, leading to improved axonal transport, reduced inflammation, lower nerve cell death and improved affected functions. Going Concern Since its founding, the Company has been engaged in organizational activities, including raising capital, as well as research and development activities. The Company has no t generated substantial revenues and has not yet achieved profitable operations, nor has it ever generated positive cash flows from operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. The Company is subject to those risks associated with any clinical stage pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will become commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants. Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of its efforts to raise additional capital. The Company has a history of incurring net losses and anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant revenue from its product candidates currently in development. The Company’s primary source of capital has historically been the issuance of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. Since the Company’s inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. At June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $146.6 million. The Company’s net loss was $11.8 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, the Company’s operating loss was $12.6 million and $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern, or ASC 205-40, which requires Management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date its financial statements are issued. The Company expects that its existing balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 is not sufficient to fund operations for the period through one year after the date of this filing and therefore, Management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to mitigate this risk include raising additional capital through equity financings, debt or other potential alternatives. Management’s plans may also include the deferral of certain operating expenses unless and until additional capital is received. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company, or that the Company will be successful in deferring certain operating expenses. As such, Management has concluded that such plans do not alleviate the aforementioned substantial doubt. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital or defer sufficient operating expenses, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of, or cease, its operations. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
