Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

1. Business and Principal Activities

Description of Business

RenovoRx, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terminology) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in December 2012 and operates from its headquarters in Los Altos, California. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel precision oncology therapies based on a local drug delivery platform for high unmet medical need with a goal to improve therapeutic outcomes for cancer patients undergoing treatment.

The Company’s patented Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (“TAMP™”) therapy platform is designed to ensure precise therapeutic delivery to directly target tumors while potentially minimizing a therapy’s toxicities versus systemic intravenous therapy. The Company’s novel and patented approach to targeted treatment offers the potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy. The Company’s Phase III lead product candidate, RenovoGem™, a novel oncology drug-device combination product, is being investigated under a U.S. new drug application that is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) 21 CFR 312 pathway. RenovoGem is currently being evaluated for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (“LPAC”) by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (the drug division of the FDA). RenovoGem utilizes RenovoCath, the Company’s FDA-cleared drug-delivery device, indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion, in combination with gemcitabine (chemotherapy).

The Company is also actively exploring the use of TAMP to treat cancers beyond LAPC as well as other commercialization strategies for its technology.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From the Company’s inception through June 30, 2024, it has raised an aggregate of $59.2 million, primarily from private placements of convertible preferred stock, convertible debt securities, the issuance of securities in the Company’s August 2021 initial public offering (the “IPO”), the sale of common stock and common stock warrants and the exercise of common stock warrants and common stock options. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.7 million. As used herein, the term “common stock” refers to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

The Company is in the pre-commercial stage and therefore has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $3.5 million and an accumulated deficit of $44.9 million and does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operations in the foreseeable future. The Company expects to incur significant and increasing losses until regulatory approval is granted for its first product candidate, RenovoGem™. Regulatory approval is not guaranteed and may never be obtained. The Company may also pursue other revenue-generating strategies such as licensing or collaboration agreements or marketing its proprietary catheter device on a standalone basis. No assurances can be made that the Company will pursue these strategies, and even if it does, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to generate revenue from such activities.

The Company believes it will be able to raise additional required capital through debt financings, private or public equity financings, license agreements, collaborative agreements or other arrangements with other companies, or other sources of financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to the Company. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.

On November 10, 2022, the Company has filed an omnibus shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that provides for the aggregate offerings of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s securities subject to various limitations, including limited sales in any twelve-month period while the Company is subject to the “baby-shelf” rules. As of June 30, 2024, and subject to the baby-shelf limitations rules, the aggregate offerings would be up to $11.4 million. The Company has also filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the cash exercise of the Company’s outstanding IPO, underwriter and private warrants. Cash exercise of these outstanding warrants is only expected to occur (if at all) when the trading price of the common stock is in excess of the $10.80 per share exercise price of such outstanding warrants.

On April 3, 2023, the Company completed a registered direct offering (“RDO”) utilizing its shelf registration statement for the purchase and sale of 1,557,632 shares of common stock (or pre-funded common stock warrants) to a certain institutional investor. In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to the investor unregistered common warrants to purchase up to 1,947,040 shares of common stock (the “April 2023 Warrant”). The aggregate gross proceeds from this offer were $5.0 million, and the net offering proceeds were $4.4 million after deducting placement agent fees and placement agent’s expenses of $0.4 million and other professional expenses of $0.2 million.

On January 26, 2024, the Company completed a private placement to 92 accredited investors with gross proceeds of $6.1 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses of approximately $0.7 million. In this private placement, the Company issued 6,133,414 shares of its common stock and common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,133,414 shares of common stock, which expire five years from the issuance date, January 26, 2024. In connection with such private placement, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement as additional compensation to the placement agent, and issued common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 511,940 shares of common stock (the “January 2024 PA Warrants”), which warrants expire five years from the issuance date. The exercise price for the significant majority of the warrants issued in this private placement have an exercise price of $0.99 per share; warrants purchased by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company in this private placement have an exercise price of $1.22 per share.

On April 11, 2024, the Company completed another private placement offering to 172 accredited investors, issuing common stock, pre-funded warrants, Series A warrants, and Series B warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds from this offer were $11.1 million, and the net offering proceeds were $9.7 million after deducting placement agent fees of $1.2 million and other professional expenses of $0.2 million. In conjunction with the issuance of 6,960,864 shares of common stock, the Company bundled the offering with: (i) a pre-funded warrant exercisable for 951,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, with an unlimited term and immediate exercisability upon issuance, subject to specific beneficial ownership limitations; (ii) Series A warrants exercisable or 7,912,364 shares of common stock at $1.22 per share, valid for 5 years and immediately exercisable subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations; (iii) Series B warrants exercisable for 3,956,182 shares of common stock at $1.22 per share, valid for 2 years and immediately exercisable subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations, with the Company retaining the right to call these warrants under certain conditions. Additionally, as compensation to the placement agent, the Company issued warrants on the same date, to purchase up to an aggregate of 701,243 shares of common stock (the “April 2024 PA Warrants”) at $1.69 per share over a 5-year term, with provisions for cashless exercise if the shares are unregistered or no current prospectus is available for resale. The April 2024 PA Warrants become exercisable on October 11, 2024, subject to specific beneficial ownership limitations and customary adjustments.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, negative cash flows from operations, including cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital, total stockholders’ equity and future access to capital. Based upon the Company’s current operating plan, management believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of the issuance of the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund operating, investing and financing cash flow needs for at least twelve months from such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results for the interim periods presented. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other future annual or interim period. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024 from those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with companies at a similar stage, including the risks associated with the development of products that must receive regulatory approval before market launch, dependence on key individuals, competition from larger and more established companies, volatility of the industry, ability to obtain adequate financing to support the Company’s business plan, the ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel to manage the anticipated growth of the Company and general economic conditions. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies, including, but not limited to, the need to obtain adequate additional funding, possible failure of current or future preclinical studies or clinical trials, its reliance on third parties to conduct its clinical trials, the need to obtain regulatory and marketing approvals and insurance coding for its product candidates, competitors developing new technological innovations, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of the Company’s product candidates, protection of its proprietary technology, and the need to secure and maintain adequate manufacturing arrangements with third parties.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements during the reporting periods. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying financial statements include, but are not limited to, accruals of certain liabilities, including clinical trial accruals and other contingences, the valuation of financial instruments, the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the fair value of options granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the fair values of assets, stock-based compensation, clinical trial accruals and other contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience or on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from complying with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with those standards. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

The Company is also a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. If the Company is a smaller reporting company at the time the Company cease to be an emerging growth company, the Company may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, the Company may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and, like emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” “ASU 2016-13”). The guidance represents a significant change in the accounting for credit losses model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred. The Company has determined that it has met the criteria of a smaller reporting company as of November 15, 2019. As such, ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”, and “Leases (Topic 842)—Effective Dates” amended the effective date for the Company to be for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 and the adoption had no significant impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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) (ASU 2020-06): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity,” which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The updated guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those periods. The Company early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022 and the pronouncement did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. Fair Value Measurements

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company held $11.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in a money market account.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy, as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2024

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the periods presented. The Company had no other financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Assumptions Used in Determining Fair Value of Warrant

The terms of the April 2023 Warrant provide that in the event of certain fundamental transactions involving the Company, the warrant holder may require the Company to make a payment based on a Black-Scholes valuation of the April 2023 Warrant, using specified inputs. Therefore, the April 2023 Warrants are accounted for as liabilities.

The Company recorded the fair value of the April 2023 Warrant upon issuance using the Black-Scholes valuation model. It is also required to revalue the April 2023 Warrant at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value recorded on the Company’s statement of operations. The valuation of the April 2023 Warrant is considered under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and influenced by the fair value of the underlying common stock.

A summary of the Black Scholes pricing model assumptions used to record the fair value of the April 2023 Warrant is as follows:

	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Expected volatility		110% – 114	%	116% – 177	%
Expected term (years)		1.01 – 4.26		1.01 – 4.76
Risk-free interest rate		4.40% – 5.09	%	3.86% – 4.78	%
Dividend rate		–	%	–	%

Changes on Level 3 Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Total accrued expenses	$	873	$	614

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and no material legal proceedings are subsequently outstanding or pending.

Guarantees and Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its bylaws, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of June 30, 2024.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its headquarters in Los Altos, California under a month-to-month operating lease agreement. Rent expenses were $20,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Rent expenses were $41,000 and $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

6. Equity Incentive Plan – Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Warrants

2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

On July 19, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the RenovoRx, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan, which became effective immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, initially reserved 2,185,832 shares of common stock, which included 10,832 shares of common shares reserved but unissued under the Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The Company’s 2013 Plan was terminated immediately prior to the closing of the IPO; however, shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Plan will continue to be governed by the 2013 Plan. In accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan, on January 1, 2024, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance increased by 320,807 shares.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $2.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to options granted but not yet amortized, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.96 years.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for estimating the fair value of the stock option granted. The Company estimated the fair value of each option grant on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024			2023
Expected volatility		123.76% – 143.10	%		99.49% – 106.69	%
