Organization and Nature of Operations

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Azitra, Inc. was founded on January 2, 2014. It is a synthetic biology company focused on screening and genetically engineering microbes of the skin. The mission is to discover and develop novel therapeutics to create a new paradigm for treating skin disease. The Company’s discovery platform is screened for naturally occurring bacterial cells with beneficial effects. These microbes are then genomically sequenced and engineered to make cellular therapies, recombinant therapeutic proteins, peptides and small molecules for precision treatment of dermatology diseases. On May 17, 2023, the Company changed its name to from “Azitra Inc” to “Azitra, Inc.”

 

The Company maintains a location in Montreal, Canada for certain research activities. This location and operations conducted there remained consistent throughout 2022 and 2023. The Company also opened a manufacturing and laboratory space in Groton, Connecticut during 2021.

 

Forward Stock Split, Change in Par Value, and Initial Public Offering

 

In June 2023, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) in which it issued and sold 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share. The shares began trading on the NYSE American on June 16, 2023 under the symbol “AZTR”. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering were $6.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses.

 

Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement, the Company effected a 7.1-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the Forward Stock Split). On May 17, 2023, the Company changed the par value of its capital stock from $0.01 to $0.0001. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the effect of the Forward Stock Split. Refer to Note 8 for additional details relating to the Forward Stock Split.

 

Going Concern Matters

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, management has identified the following conditions and events that created an uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $48.6 million, a loss from operations of $7.6 million and used $7.4 million to fund operations. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to continue to raise funds through equity and debt financing to fund operating and working capital needs; however, the Company will require a significant amount of additional funds to complete the development of its products and to fund additional losses which the Company expects to incur over the next few years as the Company does not yet have product revenue. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional financing to meet its operating needs.

 

These conditions and events create uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
