1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NeuroBo”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with two primary programs focused on treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”) obesity, and type 2 diabetes (“T2D”):

DA-1241 is a novel G-Protein-Coupled Receptor 119 (GPR119) agonist with development optionality as a standalone and/or combination therapy for both NASH and T2D. We intend to initiate a Phase 2a study with the goal of establishing efficacy of DA-1241 in NASH and T2D.
DA-1726 is a novel oxyntomodulin (“OXM”) analogue functioning as a GLP1R/GCGR dual agonist for the treatment of NASH and obesity, that is to be administered once weekly subcutaneously. DA-1726 as a dual agonist of GLP-1 receptors (“GLP1R”) and glucagon receptors (“GCGR”), leading to weight loss through reduced appetite and increased energy expenditure. We intend to advance DA-1726 through Investigational New Drug application and initiation of human clinical trials.

The Company had previously focused its efforts on four therapeutic programs: ANA001, NB-01, NB-02 and gemcabene.

The Company’s operations have consisted principally of performing research and development activities, clinical development and raising capital. The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding before sustainable revenues and profit from operations are achieved.

Basis of presentation and consolidation principles

 

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include a South Korean subsidiary, NeuroBo Co., Ltd., which is fully owned by the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the financial statements.

Reverse Stock Split

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-thirty reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 12, 2022.

All issued and outstanding common stock and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Any fraction of a share of common stock that was created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was rounded down to the next whole share and the stockholder received cash equal to the market value of the fractional share, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq on the last trading day before the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective (on a split-adjusted basis). The authorized shares and par value per share of the common stock and preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity

 

From its inception through December 31, 2022, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to drug discovery and development and conducting clinical trials. The Company has a limited operating history and the sales and income potential of the Company's business and market are unproven. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $95.8 million as of December 31, 2022. These conditions previously raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

To date, the Company has raised capital principally through private placements and public offerings of convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants The Company will need to continue to raise a substantial amount of funds until it is able to generate revenues to fund its development activities.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $33.4 million in cash. The Company believes that its existing cash will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. The Company will need to continue to raise additional funds until it is able to generate sufficient revenues to fund its development activities. The Company’s future operating activities, coupled with its plans to raise capital or issue debt financing, may provide additional liquidity in the future, however these actions are not solely within the control of the Company and the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions to generate the liquidity ultimately required.
