NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiary Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Tonix Sub”), is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics to treat and prevent human disease and alleviate suffering. Tonix aims to transform therapies for pain management and modernize solutions for public health challenges.
Tonix’s development portfolio is focused on central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders. Tonix’s priority is to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the FDA in the second half of 2024 for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL is also expected to be tested by the University of North Carolina under a physician IND for Acute Stress Reaction in a trial funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, or CDMRP for approximately $3 million. Tonix’s CNS portfolio also includes TNX-1300 (cocaine esterase), a biologic designed to treat cocaine intoxication that has FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation, in Phase 2 development that is funded by the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse or NIDA. Tonix’s immunology development portfolio consists of biologics to address organ transplant rejection, autoimmunity and cancer, including TNX-1500, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD40-ligand (CD40L or CD154) being developed for the prevention of allograft rejection and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Tonix also has product candidates in development in the areas of rare disease and infectious disease. Tonix is developing a broad-spectrum antiviral termed TNX-4200 under a contract for up to $34 million from the DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Tonix’s development candidates are investigational drugs or biologics and are not approved for any indication. Tonix Medicines, our commercial subsidiary, markets Zembrace® SymTouch® (sumatriptan injection) 3 mg and Tosymra® (sumatriptan nasal spray) 10 mg for the treatment of acute migraine with or without aura in adults.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tonix Sub, Krele LLC, Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Canada), Inc., Tonix Medicines, Inc., Jenner Institute LLC, Tonix R&D Center LLC, Tonix Pharma Holdings Limited and Tonix Pharma Limited (collectively, the “Company” or “Tonix”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. At June 30, 2024, the Company had working
capital of approximately $
The
Company believes that its cash resources at June 30, 2024 and the gross proceeds of $
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to face significant challenges and uncertainties and must obtain additional funding through public and private financing and collaborative arrangements with strategic partners to increase the funds available to fund operations. However, the Company may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Without additional funds, it may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its research and development activities or other operations, and potentially delay product development in an effort to maintain sufficient funds to continue operations. If any of these events occurs, the Company’s ability to achieve development and commercialization goals will be adversely affected and the Company may be forced to cease operations. Moreover, the Company may default under the terms of its existing indebtedness. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim financial statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023 (UNAUDITED)
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2024.

Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s primary efforts are devoted to conducting research and development of innovative pharmaceutical and biological products to address public health challenges. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. Further, the Company now has commercial products available for sale, and generates revenue from the sale of its Zembrace SymTouch and Tosymra products, with no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to fund operations from its commercial products or products in development if and when approved. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, impairments, provisions for product returns, coupons, rebates, chargebacks, discounts, allowances, inventory realization, the assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, the percent of completion of research and development contracts, fair value estimates for assets acquired in business combinations, and assessment of useful lives of acquired intangible assets.

Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby the consideration transferred is allocated to the net assets acquired based on their respective fair values measured on the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value of these assets and the purchase price is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, and other direct costs of a business combination are not considered part of the business acquisition transaction and are expensed as incurred.
Segment Information and Concentrations
Operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief
operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company considers its chief executive officer to be the Company’s CODM. The CODM manages its operations and allocates resources
based on the Company’s consolidated results and therefore operates as

funds, amounted to $

Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from our wholesale and other third-party distributors and pharmacies and have standard payment terms that generally require payment within 30 to 90 days. For certain customers, the accounts receivable for the customer is net of cash discounts, chargebacks and customer rebates. We do not adjust our receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if we expect to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time of sale. We provide reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses, as the Company’s exposure to credit losses is de minimis. An allowance for credit losses is determined based on the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers and the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. The payment history of the Company’s customers will be considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We attempt to minimize the risks related to cash and cash equivalents by investing in a broad and diverse range of financial instruments, and we have established guidelines related to credit ratings and maturities intended to safeguard principal balances and maintain liquidity. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables, which are typically unsecured, are somewhat mitigated due to the variety of customers using our products, as well as their dispersion across different geographic areas.
We monitor the financial performance and creditworthiness of our customers so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. We continue to monitor these conditions and assess their possible impact on our business.
Inventories
Inventories
are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the weighted average cost method. Acquired
inventory was valued at estimated selling price less a reasonable margin. The Company periodically reviews the composition of
inventory in order to identify excess, obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items taking into account anticipated future
sales compared with quantities on hand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. If non-saleable items are observed and there
are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company records a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in
value is first recognized. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded write-downs related to Tosymra and
Zembrace finished goods inventory of approximately $

The Company did not have inventory on hand prior to the acquisition of Zembrace and Tosymra on June 30, 2023.
Property and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line
method over the asset’s estimated useful life, which ranges from
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets deemed to have finite lives are carried at acquisition-date fair value less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of certain products from Upsher Smith Laboratories, LLC (“Upsher Smith”) consummated on June 30, 2023 (See Note 5). The acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was $ million and $ million, respectively. The Company recorded a full impairment of its developed technology assets during the three months ended June 30, 2024, discussed further below.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased certain internet domain rights, which were determined to have an indefinite life. Identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives, which are included in Intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet, are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may be less than fair value. The Company completed the required annual impairment test for the indefinite-lived intangible as of June 30, 2024, its annual impairment assessment date, by performing a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible is less than its carrying amount, resulting in no impairment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023 (UNAUDITED)
Impairment testing of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property and equipment, finite-lived intangibles assets and operating lease right-to-use assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified
certain triggering events related to the ADC and the decommissioning of the ADC. The Company determined that the carrying value of the
ADC was not recoverable and that the carrying value exceeded its fair value. As such, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge
of $
Additionally, due to a
sustained decline in revenues and continued delays in building out the sales team for its commercialized products, the Company also
tested its commercialized products asset group for recoverability as of June 30, 2024. The Company determined that the carrying
value was not recoverable and therefore estimated the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow analysis. The
Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge for the amount of $
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company previously recognized goodwill in connection with the USL Acquisition
consummated on June 30, 2023 (See Note 5). The Company completed the required annual impairment test for goodwill as of June 30, 2024,
which resulted in full non-cash impairment of the Company’s $
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, noncurrent in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date and subsequent lease commencement dates in determining the present value of lease payments. This is the rate the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term to each lease. The operating lease ROU asset excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments made under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs represent the cost of obtaining financing arrangements and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs related to term debt arrangements are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Original issue discount
Certain term debt issued by the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. Original issue discounts are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt liability on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the effective interest method. Amortization of original issue discounts are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company records and recognizes revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s
revenues primarily result from contracts with customers, which are generally short-term and have a single performance obligation - the
delivery of product. The Company’s performance obligation to deliver products is satisfied at the point in time that the goods
are received by the customer, which is when the customer obtains title to and has the risks and rewards of ownership of the products,
which is generally upon shipment or delivery to the customer as stipulated by the terms of the sale agreements. The transaction price
is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer.
The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Our contractual payment
terms are typically

Revenues from product sales, net of gross-to-net deductions, are recorded only to the extent a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not probable of occurring and when the uncertainty associated with gross-to-net deductions is subsequently resolved. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected from customers are excluded from product sales. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation.
Many of the Company’s products sold are subject to a variety of deductions. Revenues are recognized net of estimated rebates and chargebacks, cash discounts, distributor fees, sales return provisions and other related deductions. Deductions to product sales are referred to as gross-to-net deductions and are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related product sales occur. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to gross sales in determining net sales, and as a contra asset within accounts receivable, net (if settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgements about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The following section briefly describes the nature of the Company’s provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated:
Chargebacks - The Company sells a portion of its products indirectly through wholesaler distributors, and enters into specific agreements with these indirect customers to establish pricing for the Company’s products, and in-turn, the indirect customers and entities independently purchase these products. Because the price paid by the indirect customers and/or entities is lower than the price paid by the wholesaler, the Company provides a credit, called a chargeback, to the wholesaler for the difference between the contractual price with the indirect customers and the wholesale customer’s purchase price. The Company’s provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s wholesale customers to the indirect customers and estimated wholesaler inventory levels as well as historical chargeback rates. The Company continually monitors its reserve for chargebacks and adjusts the reserve accordingly when expected chargebacks differ from actual experience.
Rebates - The Company participates in certain government and specific sales rebate programs which provides discounted prescription drugs to qualified recipients, and primarily relate to Medicaid and managed care rebates in the U.S., pharmacy rebates, Tri-Care rebates and discounts, specialty pharmacy program fees and other governmental rebates or applicable allowances.
| ● | Managed Care Rebates are processed in the quarter following the quarter in which they are earned. The managed care reporting entity submits utilization data after the end of the quarter and the Company processes the payment in accordance with contract terms. All rebates earned but not paid are estimated by the Company according to historical payments trended for market growth assumptions. |
| ● | Medicaid and State Agency rebates are based upon historical experience of claims submitted by various states. The Company monitors Medicaid legislative changes to determine what impact such legislation may have on the provision for Medicaid rebates. The accrual of State Agency reserves is based on historical payment rates. There is an approximate three-month lag from the time of product sale until the rebate is paid. |
| ● | Tri-Care represents a regionally managed health care program for active duty and retired members, dependents and survivors of the US military. The Tri-Care program supplements health care resources of the US military with civilian health care professionals for greater access and quality healthcare coverage. Through the Tri-Care program, the Company provides pharmaceuticals on a direct customer basis. Prices of pharmaceuticals sold under the Tri-Care program are pre-negotiated and a reserve amount is established to represent the proportionate rebate amount associated with product sales. |
| ● | Coverage Gap refers to the Medicare prescription drug program and represents specifically the period between the initial Medicare Part D prescription drug program coverage limit and the catastrophic coverage threshold. Applicable pharmaceutical products sold during this coverage gap timeframe are discounted by the Company. Since the nature of the program is that coverage limits are reset at the beginning of the calendar year; the payments escalate each quarter as the participants reach the coverage limit before reaching the catastrophic coverage threshold. The Company has determined that the cost of this reserve will be viewed as an annual cost. Therefore, the accrual will be incurred evenly during the year with quarterly review of the liability based on payment trends and any revision to the projected annual cost. |

Prompt-Pay and other Sales Discounts - The Company provides for prompt pay discounts, which early payments are recorded as a reduction of revenue and as a reduction in the accounts receivable at the time of sale based on the customer’s contracted discount rate. Consumer sales discounts represent programs the Company has in place to reduce costs to the patient. This includes copay buy down and eVoucher programs.
Product Returns - Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers customers a right to return any unused product. The customer’s right of return commences typically six months prior to product expiration date and ends one year after product expiration date. Products returned for expiration are reimbursed at current wholesale acquisition cost or indirect contract price. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by the Company’s customers and accrues this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company estimates products returns as a percentage of sales to its customers. The rate is estimated by using historical sales information, including its visibility and estimates into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. Adjustments are made to the current provision for returns when data suggests product returns may differ from original estimates.
Research and Development Costs
The Company outsources certain of its research and development efforts and expenses these costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing products for testing, as well as licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired has been expensed as research and development costs, as such property is related to particular research and development projects and had no alternative future uses.
The Company estimates its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company accounts for trial expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the trial. The Company determines accrual estimates taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of consummation of trials, or the services completed.
During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors.
Government Grants
From
time to time, the Company may enter into arrangements with governmental entities for the purpose of obtaining funding for research and
development activities. The Company is reimbursed for costs incurred that are associated with specified research and development activities
included in the grant application approved by the government authority. The Company classifies government grants received under these
arrangements as a reduction to the related research and development expense in the same period as the relevant expenses are incurred.
In August 2022, the Company received a Cooperative Agreement grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”),
part of the National Institutes of Health, to support the development of its TNX-1300 product candidate for the treatment of cocaine
intoxication. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received $

All stock-based payments to employees and to nonemployees for their services, including grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for share-based awards in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Operations of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Canada), Inc., are conducted in local currency, which represents its functional currency. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the other foreign subsidiaries. Balance sheet accounts of the Canadian subsidiary were translated from foreign currency into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income statement accounts were translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Derivative Instruments and Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase common stock under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives (See Note 13). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates, which is adjusted for instrument-specific terms as applicable.
From time to time, certain equity-linked instruments may be classified as derivative liabilities due to the variable exercise price of the shares to fully settle the equity-linked financial instruments in shares. In such case, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date.
In the event that reclassification of contracts between equity and assets or liabilities is necessary, the Company first allocates remaining authorized shares to equity on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated to equity beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first.
The classification of derivative instruments is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period. Prefunded warrants are assumed exercised on date of issuance and are included in the basic EPS calculation.
All warrants issued participate on a one-for-one basis with common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, on the Company’s common stock. For purposes of computing EPS, these warrants are considered to participate with common stock in earnings of the Company. Therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income for the period is allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. No income was allocated to the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, as results of operations were a loss for the periods.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting for certain of its financial assets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets. |
| Level 2: | Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted market prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. This category includes U.S. government agency-backed debt securities and corporate-debt securities. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data. |
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company used Level 1 quoted prices in active markets to value cash equivalents which were de minimis for both periods presented. The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, Level 3 liabilities included a portion of the Company’s outstanding Series D Warrants and all of the Company’s outstanding Series C Warrants issued in December 2023, which did not meet the criteria for equity classification due to insufficient authorized shares to settle the instruments and were therefore accounted for as liabilities at fair value. After the Company received stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares on January 25, 2024, the liability classified Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants met all requirements for equity classification and, as a result, the Company reclassified them to equity as of January 25, 2024.
The
Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants
using significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. For periods prior to
the receipt of stockholder approval, the fair value was then adjusted by applying a discount for lack of marketability
(“DLOM”) based on the expected timing of receipt of stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares and
to allow the Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Additionally, between April 1, 2024
and May 22, 2024, Level 3 liabilities included a portion of the Company’s outstanding August 2023 Warrants, Series A Warrants,
Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants, and Series D Warrants (collectively, the “Existing Warrants”), as a result of
certain Warrant Amendments entered into upon the closing of an equity financing on April 1, 2024, which provided for adjustments to
the exercise prices of the Existing Warrants, contingent on approval by the Company’s stockholders of a proposal to allow the
Existing Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. The Company determined that the exercise price
adjustment provision that is contingent on stockholder approval precluded the Existing Warrants from being indexed to the
Company’s own stock, and therefore were reclassified to liabilities at post-modification fair value on April 1, 2024. After
the Company received stockholder approval on May 22, 2024, thereby reducing the exercise prices of each of the Existing Warrants to

The USL Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The tangible and intangible assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value of these assets and the purchase price has been recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary valuations and estimates and assumptions which are subject to change. As the Company receives additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, the fair values of the acquired inventory and intangible assets may be adjusted, with the offset recorded to goodwill.
The following table represents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired by the Company in the USL Acquisition recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

The acquired inventory consists of Upsher Smith’s raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished goods inventory as of the Closing date. The fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price of the inventory, less the estimated total costs to complete, disposal effort and holding costs.
Intangible assets eligible for recognition separate from goodwill were those that satisfied either the contractual or legal criterion or the separability criterion in the accounting guidance. The identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives for amortization are as follows (in thousands):

The developed technology intangible assets related to Zembrace and Tosymra includes the value associated with the acquired patents, customer relationships, and trademarks and trade names associated with the technology. The developed technology intangible assets were valued as composite assets under the premise that each asset is reliant on one another to generate cash flow, is not considered separable from the technology, and are assumed to have similar useful lives. The composite intangible assets were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization. The key assumptions used in estimating the fair values of intangible assets include forecasted financial information, the weighted average cost of capital, customer retention rates, and certain other assumptions.

The
Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $
Upon the closing of the offering, the Company determined that certain of the Common Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification due to the lack of sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the instruments. The Company has adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date, whereby shares are allocated based on the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first. Pursuant to this sequencing approach, the Company’s authorized and unissued shares were applied to the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants in the following order: (i) the Pre-Funded Warrants, (ii) the Series D Warrants, and (iii) the Series C Warrants. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that the authorized shares are sufficient to settle the remaining Pre-Funded Warrants and Series D Warrants and were therefore classified in equity. The remaining Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants associated with the deficit shares were classified as liabilities and are accounted for at fair value.

Business Overview
Tonix is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, licensing and commercializing therapeutics to treat and prevent human disease and alleviate suffering. Tonix’s development portfolio is focused on central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Tonix’s priority is to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA in the second half of 2024 for TNX-102 SL, a product candidate for which two statistically significant Phase 3 studies have been completed for the management of fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA. Tonix expects a decision on marketing approval from the FDA in 2025. TNX-102 SL is also expected to be tested by the University of North Carolina under a physician IND for Acute Stress Reaction in a trial funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, or CDMRP for approximately $3 million. Tonix’s CNS portfolio includes TNX-1300 (cocaine esterase), a biologic designed to treat cocaine intoxication that has FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation. Tonix’s immunology development portfolio consists of biologics to address organ transplant rejection, autoimmunity and cancer, including TNX-1500, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD40-ligand (CD40L or CD154) being developed for the prevention of allograft rejection and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Tonix also has product candidates in development in the areas of rare disease and infectious disease. Tonix’s infectious disease portfolio includes TNX-4200, an oral CD45 antagonist in development as a broad-spectrum antiviral. The program was awarded a contract for up to $34 million of funding by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), to establish physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and safety attributes to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) submission and to fund a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical study. Tonix is developing TNX-801 (recombinant horsepox virus), for preventing mpox (formerly known as monkeypox). On August 14, 2024, the World Health Organization determined that the upsurge of mpox in a growing number of countries in Africa constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. Tonix owns and operates a state-of-the art infectious disease research facility in Frederick, MD. Tonix Medicines, our commercial subsidiary, markets Zembrace® SymTouch® (sumatriptan injection) 3 mg and Tosymra® (sumatriptan nasal spray) 10 mg for the treatment of acute migraine with or without aura in adults.
Tonix’s product development candidates are investigational new drugs or biologics and have not been approved for any indication.
Tonix Medicines has contracted to acquire the Zembrace SymTouch and Tosymra registered trademarks. Intravail is a registered trademark of Aegis Therapeutics, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurelis, Inc.

Results of Operations
We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, such as the sales of Zembrace® and Tosymra®, the progress of our research and development efforts and the timing and outcome of regulatory submissions. Due to these uncertainties, accurate predictions of future operations are difficult or impossible to make.

This decrease is predominately due to decreased clinical expenses of $3.8 million, non-clinal expenses of $3.9 million, manufacturing expenses of $1.5 million as a result of fewer trials in the clinic and pipeline prioritization period over period, employee-related expenses of $1.6 and lab supplies of $1.4 million due to a reduction in expenditures.
The table below summarizes our direct research and development expenses for our product candidates and development platform for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022.

Our direct research and development expenses consist principally of external costs for clinical, nonclinical and manufacturing, such as fees paid to contractors, consultants and CROs in connection with our development work. Included in “Internal Staffing, Overhead and Other” is overhead, supplies, research and development employee costs (including stock option expenses), travel, regulatory and legal.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $7.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 7%, from $7.0 million incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in primarily an increase in financial reporting expenses of $0.4 million, related to the shareholder meetings, an increase in sales and marketing of $0.5 million, offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses of $0.5 million.
Asset impairment charges. We recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $48.8 million related to property and equipment, a non-cash impairment of $1.0 million related to goodwill, and a non-cash impairment charge of $9.2 million related to intangible assets, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The impairment of the Tosymra and Zembrace inventory, intangibles and goodwill was driven by our delayed investment in the sales personnel required to drive growth in the business as we are focusing our cash resources to further our efforts to bring TNX-102 SL through the approval process and to market. However, we believe that the benefits and long-term value proposition of the 2023 acquisition of Tosymra and Zembrace remain, in that we now have the infrastructure to be ready to manufacture and sell TNX-102 SL under an expedited timeline pending FDA approval for which we expect an FDA decision in 2025.
Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $78.8 million, an increase of $50.4 million, or 177%, compared to a net loss of $28.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $22.6 million, a decrease of $25.9 million, or 53%, from $48.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease is predominately due to decreased clinical expenses of $8.8 million, non-clinal expenses of $8.1 million, manufacturing expenses of $2.4 million as a result of fewer trials in the clinic and pipeline prioritization period over period, employee-related expenses of $2.4 and lab supplies of $3.2 million due to a reduction in expenditures.

Our direct research and development expenses consist principally of external costs for clinical, nonclinical and manufacturing, such as fees paid to contractors, consultants and contract research organizations in connection with our development work. Included in “Internal Staffing, Overhead and Other” is overhead, supplies, research and development employee costs (including stock option expenses), travel, regulatory and legal.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $16.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 17%, from $14.4 million incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in financial reporting expenses of $1.0 million, related to the special shareholder meetings in 2024, an increase in sales and marketing of $0.8 million, and transition services agreement fees payable to Upsher Smith of $0.7 million.
Asset impairment charges.

License Agreements
On February 13, 2023, we exercised an option to obtain an exclusive license from Columbia for the development of a portfolio of fully human and murine mAbs for the treatment or prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including our TNX-3600 and TNX-4100 product candidates, respectively. The licensed mAbs were developed as part of a research collaboration and option agreement between us and Columbia. As of June 30, 2024, other than the upfront fee, no payments have been accrued or paid in relation to this agreement.
Asset Purchase Agreements
On June 23, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Upsher Smith for the acquisition of certain assets related to Zembrace and Tosymra (such businesses collectively, the “Business”) and certain inventory related to the Business for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $26.5 million, including certain deferred payments (such transaction, the “USL Acquisition”). The transaction closed on June 30, 2023.
Additionally, in connection with the acquisition from Upsher Smith, we and Upsher Smith entered into a transition services agreement pursuant to which Upsher Smith agreed to provide certain transition services to us for base fees equal to $100,000 per month for the first six months, and $150,000 per month for the seventh through ninth months, plus additional monthly fees for each service category totaling up to $150,000 per month. We have signed an amendment to the transitional services agreement with Upsher Smith so that Upsher Smith will continue to manage certain government rebates, and Upsher Smith will be reimbursed by us at cost for any rebates they pay on our behalf.
As the assets acquired from Upsher Smith met the definition of a business under the current accounting guidance, the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired inventory and other tangible assets, and the developed technology intangible assets related to Zembrace and Tosymra based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired assets was recorded as goodwill.
We have assumed certain obligations of Upsher Smith, including the payment of quarterly royalty payments on annual net sales from the Business in the U.S. as follows: for Tosymra, 4% for net sales of $0 to $30 million, 7% of net sales of $30 to $75 million; 9% for net sales of $75 to $100 million; 12% for net sales of $100 to $150 million; and 15% for net sales greater than $150 million. Royalty payments with respect to Tosymra are payable until the expiration or termination of the product’s Orange Book listed patent(s) with respect to the United States or, outside the United States, the expiration of the last valid claim covering the product in the relevant country of the territory. For Zembrace, royalty payments on annual net sales in the U.S. are 3% for net sales of $0 to $30 million, 6% of net sales of $30 to $75 million; 12% for net sales of $75 to $100 million; 16% for net sales of greater than $100 million. Such royalty payments are payable until July 19, 2025. Upon the entry of a generic version of the relevant product, the applicable royalty rates will be reduced by 90% percent for Zembrace, and by 66.7% percent for Tosymra.
In addition, we have assumed the obligation to pay an additional 3% royalty on net sales of Tosymra, plus an additional 3% if a patent containing certain claims related to Tosymra issues in the U.S., for 15 years from the first commercial sale of Tosymra in the applicable country or for as long as the manufacture, use or sale of Tosymra in such country is covered by a valid claim of a licensed patent, and up to $15 million per Tosymra product on the achievement of sales milestones.
On February 2, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Healion Bio Inc., pursuant to which we acquired all the pre-clinical infectious disease assets of Healion for $1.2 million. Because the Healion intellectual property was acquired prior to FDA approval, the $1.2 million cash consideration was expensed as research and development costs since there is no alternative future use and the acquired intellectual property does not constitute a business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had working capital of $3.2 million, comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million, Accounts receivable, net of $3.3 million, Inventory of $9.4 million and prepaid expenses and other of $8.3 million, offset by $10.4 million of accounts payable, $8.5 million of accrued expenses, short-term loan payable of $2.8 million, and current lease liabilities of $0.3 million. A significant portion of the accounts payable and accrued expenses are due to work performed in relation to our clinical programs, and the operations related to Zembrace and Tosymra. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we engaged CBRE, an international real estate brokerage firm, to potentially find a strategic partner for, or buyer of, our Advanced Development Center in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts (“ADC”), to align with our current business objectives and priorities. Currently, we do not have a commitment in place to sell the ADC.
The following table provides a summary of operating, investing and financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively (in thousands):
| June 30, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (27,494 | ) | $ | (56,278 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (108 | ) | (27,818 | ) | ||||
| Net cash provided (used) by financing activities | 6,813 | (10,471 | ) | |||||
For the six months ended June, 2024 and 2023, we used approximately $27.5 million and $56.3 million of cash in operating activities, respectively, which represents cash outlays for research and development and general and administrative expenses in such periods. The decrease in cash outlays principally resulted from a decrease in research and development activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided from financing activities was $6.8 million predominately from the issuance of common stock offset by the deferred payment to USL. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used from financing activities was $10.5 million, predominately from the repurchase of our common stock. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.1 million related to the purchase of property and equipment, and $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the purchase of the USL assets and property and equipment.
We believe that our cash resources at June 30, 2024, and the proceeds that we raised from equity offerings subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2024 will meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of 2024, but not beyond.
We continue to face significant challenges and uncertainties and, as a result, our available capital resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected due to changes we may make in our research and development spending plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the one year period from the date of filing of this Form 10-Q. We have the ability to obtain additional funding through public or private financing or collaborative arrangements with strategic partners to increase the funds available to fund operations. Without additional funds, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development activities or other operations and potentially delay product development in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals will be adversely affected.
Future Liquidity Requirements
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We expect to decrease our operating costs to align the Company’s capital and human resources with its previously announced strategic prioritization of TNX-102 SL product candidate for the management of fibromyalgia. We will not have enough resources to meet our operating requirements for the one-year period from filing date of this report.
Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of our research and development of product candidates, the timing and outcome of regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing and our success in developing markets for our product candidates.
40
We will need to obtain additional capital in order to fund future research and development activities and future capital expenditures. Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, shareholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock.
If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain product candidates that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.
2024 At-the-Market Offering
On July 30, 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement with AGP pursuant to which we may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million in the ATM. AGP will act as sales agent and will be paid a 3% commission on each sale under the Sales Agreement. Our common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices will vary. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company has sold 0.8 million shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.
July 2024 Financing
On July 9, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and retail investors, pursuant to which we sold 3,393,600 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,703,140 shares of common stock. The offering price per share of common stock was $0.57, and the offering price per share of pre-funded warrant was $0.5699.
The offering closed on July 10, 2024. We incurred offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million, including placement agent fees of approximately $0.3 million. We received net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses.

March 2024 Financing
On March 28, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell 336,459 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 121,875 shares of common stock, and accompanying Series E warrants to purchase up to 458,334 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10,56 per share and expiring five and a half years from date of issuance in a public offering, which closed on April 1, 2024. The offering price per share of common stock was $9.60 and the offering price per share of pre-funded warrants was $9.5968.
41
We incurred offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million, including placement agent fees of approximately $0.3 million. We received net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses.
Additionally, with the closing of the financing on April 1, 2024, we entered into warrant amendments (collectively, the “Warrant Amendments”) with certain holders of our common warrants (referred to herein as the “Existing Warrants”). We agreed to amend the exercise price of each Existing Warrant to $10.56 upon approval by our stockholders of a proposal to allow the Existing Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 or, if stockholder approval is not obtained by October 1, 2024, we agreed to automatically amend the exercise price of the Existing Warrants to the Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) of our common stock on October 1, 2024 if and only if the Minimum Price is below the then current exercise price. Upon stockholder approval on May 22, 2024, the termination date for the warrants issued August 2023 (the “August Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 217,188 shares was amended to April 1, 2029; the termination date for Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 278,125 shares is April 1, 2029; the termination date for Series B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 278,125 shares is April 1, 2025; the termination date for Series C Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 1,088,248 shares is the earlier of (i) April 1, 2026 and (ii) 10 trading days following notice by we to the Series C Warrant holder of our public announcement of the FDA’s acknowledgement and acceptance of our NDA relating to TNX-102 SL in patients with Fibromyalgia; the termination date for Series D Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 1,088,248 shares is April 1, 2029. The other terms of the Existing Warrants will remain unchanged. On May 22, 2024, at the annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved the proposal to amend the exercise prices of the Existing Warrants to $10.56 per share and extend the expiration dates.
December 2023 Financing
On December 20, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which we sold and issued (i) 791,977 shares of our common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 897,213 shares of common stock and (iii) Series C warrants to purchase up to 2,533,784 shares of common stock (the “Series C Warrants”), and (iv) Series D warrants to purchase up to 2,533,784 shares of common stock (the “Series D Warrants” and, together with the Series C Warrants, the “Common Warrants”). The securities sold in the offering were sold in fixed combinations as units. The offering price per share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants was $17.76, and the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrants was $17.7568. The offering closed on December 22, 2023, generating gross proceeds of approximately $30.0 million, before deducting offering expenses of $2.3 million payable by us. At the closing of the offering, 203,407 Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercised into shares of common stock for nominal proceeds.
The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are immediately exercisable subject to certain ownership limitations, and can be exercised at any time until exercised in full. The Series C Warrants have an exercise price of $17.76 per share, and are exercisable on the later of approval by our stockholders of (i) a proposal to approve the filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 160,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 and (ii) a proposal to allow the Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the later of such events, the “Approval Date”) and will expire on the later of (a) 10 trading days following the Approval Date and (b) the earlier of (x) the two year anniversary of the Approval Date and (y) 10 trading days following the public announcement of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) acknowledgement and acceptance of the New Drug Application (“NDA”) relating to our TNX-102 SL product candidate in patients with fibromyalgia. The Series D Warrants have an exercise price of $27.20 per share and are exercisable beginning on the Approval Date through the five-year anniversary of the Approval Date.
Upon the closing of the offering, we determined that certain of the Common Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification due to the lack of sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the instruments. We have adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date, whereby shares are allocated based on the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first. Pursuant to this sequencing approach, our authorized and unissued shares were applied to the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants in the following order: (i) the Pre-Funded Warrants, (ii) the Series D Warrants, and (iii) the Series C Warrants. Based on this analysis, we determined that the authorized shares are sufficient to settle the remaining Pre-Funded Warrants and 1,591,665 Series D Warrants and were therefore classified in equity. The remaining 942,120 Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants associated with the deficit shares were classified as liabilities and are accounted for at fair value.
42
The $30.0 million in gross proceeds received by us was first allocated to the Series C Warrants and the liability-classified Series D Warrants at their respective fair values of approximately $14.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The residual proceeds of approximately $7.5 million were allocated to the shares of common stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the equity-classified Series D Warrants on a relative fair value basis. The issuance costs totaling $2.3 million were allocated between the equity and liability-classified instruments on a relative fair value basis. Issuance costs of $1.4 million allocated to the shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the equity-classified Series D Warrants were recognized as a discount to the proceeds allocated to the equity-classified instruments. Issuance costs of $0.9 million were allocated to the liability-classified Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants and expensed within Selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
On January 25, 2024, our stockholders approved the proposal to file an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 160,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.
The liability-classified Series D Warrants and all of the Series C Warrants were presented within non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, and were adjusted to fair value through January 25, 2024, when the warrants were reclassified to equity. Changes in the fair value of the liability-classified warrants were recognized as a separate component in the consolidated statement of operations.
September 2023 Financing

2022 Lincoln Park Transaction
On August 16, 2022, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “2022 Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “2022 Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to $50,000,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time during the term of the 2022 Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, we filed with the SEC a registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the 2022 Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Purchase Agreement, at the time we signed the 2022 Purchase Agreement and the 2022 Registration Rights Agreement, we issued 3,125 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the 2022 Purchase Agreement. The commitment shares were valued at $1,000,000 and recorded as an addition to equity for the issuance of the common stock and treated as a reduction to equity as a cost of capital to be raised under the 2022 Purchase Agreement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 0 and 3,000 shares, respectively, of common stock under the 2022 Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $0 and $0.4 million, respectively. No shares were sold during 2024 under the 2022 Purchase Agreement.
At-the-Market Offerings
On April 8, 2020, we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with AGP pursuant to which we may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $320.0 million in at-the-market offerings (“ATM”) sales. AGP will act as sales agent and will be paid a 3% commission on each sale under the Sales Agreement. Our common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices will vary. There were no sales under the Sales Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold approximately 13,766 and 29,855 shares, respectively, of common stock under the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. There will be no more sales under the 2020 ATM.
Share Repurchase Program
During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 78,502 of our shares of common stock outstanding under the 2022 share repurchase program for $12.5 million at prices ranging from $88.00 to $275.52 per share for a gross aggregate cost of approximately $12.5 million. In addition, we incurred expenses of $0.3 million.
In January 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new 2023 share repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to an additional $12.5 million in value of our outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, share price and other factors. During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased 5,000 of our shares of common stock outstanding under the new 2023 share repurchase program at $227.84 per share for a gross aggregate cost of $1.1 million.
Debt Financing
On December 8, 2023, we executed a Loan and Guaranty Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to issue a 36-month term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the principal amount of $11.0 million with a maturity date of December 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Term Loan was funded with an original issue discount of 9% of the principal amount of the Term Loan, or $1.0 million, which is being amortized over the term of the debt as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowings.
Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate as defined in the Loan Agreement plus 3.5% and (ii) 12%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears commencing in December 2023. In connection with the Term Loan, we deposited into a reserve account $1.8 million to be used exclusively to fund interest payments related to the Term Loan. The deposit is reflected as prepaid and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
44
Commencing on March 8, 2024 and continuing monthly through the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal will be due and payable in monthly installments of $0.2 million, with the final remaining balance of unpaid principal and interest due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition, we must pay a monthly collateral monitoring charge equal to 0.23% of the outstanding principal amount of the term loan as of the date of payment. We incurred $1.1 million in issuance costs, which is being amortized over the term of the debt as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowings.
The Loan Agreement provides for voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment premium. The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants by us, which among other things, will require us to provide certain financial reports to the lenders, to maintain a deposit account to fund interest payments, and limit the ability of us to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, covenant default, insolvency, material judgements, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, invalidity of guarantees. The Term Loan is secured by first priority security interests in our R&D Center in Frederick, Maryland, the Advanced Development Center in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and substantially all of the relevant deposit accounts.
As of June 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the Term Loan approximated its fair value as the contractual interest rate for the Term Loan was representative of the then market interest rate.
Stock Compensation
On May 1, 2020, our stockholders approved the Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (“Amended and Restated 2020 Plan”).
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, we may issue (1) stock options (incentive and nonstatutory), (2) restricted stock, (3) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (4) RSUs, (5) other stock-based awards, and (6) cash-based awards. The Amended and Restated 2020 Plan initially provided for the issuance of up to 1,563 shares of common stock, which amount will be increased to the extent that awards granted under the Plans are forfeited, expire or are settled for cash (except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan). In addition, the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan contains an “evergreen provision” providing for an annual increase in the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years, commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030, in an amount equal to the difference between (x) twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, and (y) the total number of shares of common stock reserved under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan on December 31st of such preceding calendar year (including shares subject to outstanding awards, issued pursuant to awards or available for future awards). The Board of Directors determines the exercise price, vesting and expiration period of the grants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than 110% of fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant for a 10% or more shareholder and 100% of fair value for a grantee who is not a 10% shareholder. The fair value of the common stock is determined based on quoted market price or in absence of such quoted market price, by the Board of Directors in good faith. Additionally, the expiration period of grants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan may not be more than ten years. As of June 30, 2024, 55,544 options were available for future grants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than our closing stock price at the respective dates.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended June 2024 was $5.06 per share and $10.16 per share, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended June 2023 was $87.36 per share and $128.32 per share, respectively.
We measure the fair value of stock options on the date of grant, based on the Black Scholes option pricing model using certain assumptions discussed below, and the closing market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. One-third of most stock options granted pursuant to the Plans vest 12 months from the date of grant and 1/36th each month thereafter for 24 months and expire ten years from the date of grant. In addition, we issue options to directors which vest over a one-year period. We also issue premium options to executive officers which have an exercise price greater than the grant date fair value and has issued performance-based options which vest when target parameters are met or probable of being met, subject in each case to a one year minimum service period prior to vesting. Stock-based compensation expense related to awards is amortized over the applicable service period using the straight-line method.
45
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of Daily U.S. Treasury Yield Curve Rates with terms equal to the expected term of the options as of the grant date. The expected term of options is determined using the simplified method, as provided in an SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, and the expected stock price volatility is based on our historical stock price volatility.
Stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted of $1.1 million, of which $0.8 million and $0.3 million, related to General and Administration and Research and Development, respectively was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted of $2.4 million, of which $1.6 million and $0.8 million, related to General and Administration and Research and Development, respectively was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted of $2.8 million, of which $2.0 million and $0.8 million, related to General and Administration and Research and Development, respectively was recognized for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted of $5.2 million, of which $3.6 million and $1.6 million, related to General and Administration and Research and Development, respectively was recognized for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $5.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the Plans, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.87 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans
On May 6, 2022, our stockholders approved the Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings Corp. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. (the “2022 ESPP”), which was replaced by the Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holdings Corp. 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2023 ESPP”, and together with the 2022 ESPP, the “ESPP Plans”), which was approved by our stockholders on May 5, 2023.
The 2023 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of our common stock. Under the 2023 ESPP, on the first day of each offering period, each eligible employee for that offering period has the option to enroll for that offering period, which allows the eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at the end of the offering period. Each offering period under the 2023 ESPP is for six months, which can be modified from time-to-time. Subject to limitations, each participant will be permitted to purchase a number of shares determined by dividing the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions for the offering period by the applicable purchase price, which is equal to 85 percent of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning or end of each offering period, whichever is less. A participant must designate in his or her enrollment package the percentage (if any) of compensation to be deducted during that offering period for the purchase of stock under the 2023 ESPP, subject to the statutory limit under the Code. As of June 30, 2024, 22,926 shares were available for future sales under the 2023 ESPP.
The ESPP Plans are considered compensatory plans with the related compensation cost expensed over the six-month offering period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, $27,000 and $0, respectively, was expensed. In January 2023, 469 shares that were purchased as of December 31, 2022, under the 2022 ESPP, were issued. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2023, approximately $29,000 of employee payroll deductions accumulated at December 31, 2022, related to acquiring such shares, was transferred from accrued expenses to additional paid in capital. The remaining $14,000 was returned to the employees. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $44,000 of employee payroll deductions had accumulated and had been recorded in accrued expenses. In January 2024, 2,074 shares that were purchased as of December 31, 2023, under the 2022 ESPP, were issued. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2024, approximately $24,000 of employee payroll deductions accumulated at December 31, 2023, related to acquiring such shares, was transferred from accrued expenses to additional paid in capital. The remaining $20,000 was returned to the employees. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $33,000 of employee payroll deductions had accumulated and had been recorded in accrued expenses. In July 2024, 6,927 shares that were purchased as of June 30, 2024, under the 2022 ESPP, were issued. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2024, approximately $5,000 of employee payroll deductions accumulated at June 30, 2024, related to acquiring such shares, was transferred from accrued expenses to additional paid in capital. The remaining $28,000 was returned to the employees.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Business Combinations. We apply the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity recognizes all of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. We use our best estimates and assumptions to estimate the fair values of these tangible and intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to the assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.
Asset impairment charges. We test certain assets for impairment, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, long-lived assets and amortizing intangibles. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value on an annual basis as of June 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangibles assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
We completed the required annual impairment test for goodwill as of June 30, 2024, primarily using an income approach or discounted cash flow analysis. Additionally, due to a sustained decline in revenues and continued delays in building out the sales team for its commercialized products, we also tested the commercialized products asset group for recoverability as of June 30, 2024, and determined that the carrying value was not recoverable and therefore estimated the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow analysis. The significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model included revenue growth, long-term growth rate, and discounts rate. The impairment assessments resulted in full non-cash impairment of $965,000 of goodwill and $9.2 million, consisting of $6.2 million and $3.0 million for the Zembrace and Tosymra developed technology, intangible assets, which are reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
47
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we identified certain triggering events related to the ADC and the decommissioning of the ADC. The Company determined that the carrying value of the ADC was not recoverable and that the carrying value exceeded its fair value. We engaged independent appraisers to value the building and land, using sales comparison and income capitalization approaches, and the related fixed assets using a indirect cost approach and market approach. The assessments resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $48.8 million, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue Recognition. Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, which generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized. Such variable consideration represents chargebacks, rebates, prompt pay and other sales discounts, and product returns. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. We began recognizing revenue following the completion of the USL Acquisition, beginning July 1, 2023, and required variable consideration estimates are currently primarily based on the acquired products historical results. Adjustments to these estimates to reflect actual results or updated expectations will be assessed each period. If any of our ratios, factors, assessments, experiences, or judgments are not indicative or accurate estimates of our future experience, our results could be materially affected. The potential of our estimates to vary differs by program, product, type of customer and geographic location. In addition, estimates associated with U.S. Medicare and Medicaid governmental rebate programs are at risk for material adjustment because of the extensive time delay.
Research and Development. We outsource certain of our research and development efforts and expense the related costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing product for testing, licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired was expensed as research and development costs, as it related to particular research and development projects and had no alternative future uses.
We estimate our accrued expenses. Our clinical trial accrual process is designed to account for expenses resulting from our obligations under contracts with vendors, consultants and clinical research organizations and clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to us under such contracts. We account for trial expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by participant progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. We determine accrual estimates that take into account discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of completion of trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, we adjust our clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from our estimates. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to us at that time. Our clinical trial accruals and prepaid assets are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors.
Stock-Based Compensation. All stock-based payments to employees and to nonemployee directors for their services as directors consisted of grants of restricted stock and stock options, which are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as compensation expense over the relevant vesting period. In addition, for awards that vest immediately and are nonforfeitable, the measurement date is the date the award is issued.
Deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs represent the cost of obtaining financing arrangements and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs related to term debt arrangements are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
48
Original issue discount. Certain term debt issued by the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. Original issue discounts are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt liability on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the effective interest method. Amortization of original issue discounts are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative Instruments and Warrant Liabilities. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase common stock under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates, which is adjusted for instrument-specific terms as applicable.
From time to time, certain equity-linked instruments may be classified as derivative liabilities due to the Company having insufficient authorized shares to fully settle the equity-linked financial instruments in shares. In such a case, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. If reclassification of contracts between equity and assets or liabilities is necessary, the Company first allocates remaining authorized shares to equity on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated to equity beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first.
The classification of derivative instruments is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retain or contingent interests in transferred assets or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting--Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The new guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) regularly provided to (or easily computed from information regularly provided to) the chief operating decision maker and (2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The new standard also allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are used to assess performance and allocate resources. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2024, and will be adopted retrospectively unless impracticable. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our disclosures.
49
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted new rules relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-change-related physical and transition risks, data, and opportunities. The adopted rule contains several new disclosure obligations, including, (i) disclosure on how the board of directors and management oversee climate-related risks and certain climate-related governance items, (ii) disclosure of information related to a registrant’s climate-related targets, goals, and/or transition plans, and (iii) disclosure on whether and how climate-related events and transition activities impact line items above a threshold amount on a registrant’s consolidate financial statements, including the impact of the financial estimates and the assumptions used. This new rule will first be effective in the Company’s disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective as of June 30, 2024 due to the material weakness described below.
A material weakness 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 the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We did not maintain an effective control environment over the internal control activities to ensure the proper recognition and measurement related to the accounting for complex and non-routine transactions. We did not have adequate supervision and review controls over the complex accounting related to the non-cash impairment of intangibles, non-cash equity transactions and the recoverability of inventory. As a result, management review of asset impairment calculations did not identify errors in the associated cash flow projections which lead to an error in the conclusion of the initial impairment assessment. We also did not properly assess the realizability of inventory based upon the projections utilized and our assessment of an amendment to existing warrants that were reclassified into equity in the same period did not include a quantitative evaluation of the potential materiality of revaluation adjustments.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We could be delisted from Nasdaq, which could seriously harm the liquidity of our stock and our ability to raise capital.
On August 9, 2024, we received a written notice from the Nasdaq staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock, we no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, we have a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 5, 2025, in which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. In the event we do not regain compliance within this 180-day period, we may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, our common stock will be subject to delisting. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price or other listing requirements, we could lose eligibility for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any comparable trading market. In such event:
| ● | We may have to pursue trading on a less recognized or accepted market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets.” |
| ● | Shares of our common stock could be less liquid and marketable, thereby reducing the ability of stockholders to purchase or sell our shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically. If our stock is traded as a “penny stock,” transactions in our stock would be more difficult and cumbersome. |
| ● | We may be unable to access capital on favorable terms or at all, as companies trading on alternative markets may be viewed as less attractive investments with higher associated risks, such that existing or prospective institutional investors may be less interested in, or prohibited from, investing in our common stock. This may also cause the market price of our common stock to decline. |
We have limited capital resources and significant commitments and obligations, and may be unable to continue to operate without the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future.
In connection with our management’s assessment, our report from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations into the second quarter of 2024, but not beyond. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements, and investors will likely lose all or a part of their investment. Future reports from our independent registered public accounting firm may also contain statements expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Moreover, our inability to pay our indebtedness as it becomes due may cause us to default under the terms of our existing indebtedness. If we default on our obligations, the holders of our debt may declare the outstanding amounts immediately payable, together with accrued interest, and/or take possession of any pledged collateral. If an event of default occurs, we may be unable to cure it within the applicable cure period, if at all. If the maturity of our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available for repayment and we may be unable to borrow or obtain sufficient funds to replace the accelerated indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, current or future debt obligations may limit our ability to finance future operations, satisfy capital needs, or to engage in, expand or pursue our business activities. Such restrictions may also prevent us from engaging in activities that could be beneficial to our business and our stockholders unless we repay the outstanding debt, which may not be desirable or possible.

| BUSINESS | NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiary Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Tonix Sub”), is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics to treat and prevent human disease and alleviate suffering. Tonix aims to transform therapies for pain management and modernize solutions for public health challenges.
Tonix’s development portfolio is focused on central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders. Tonix’s priority is to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the FDA in the second half of 2024 for TNX-102 SL for the management of fibromyalgia. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to TNX-102 SL for fibromyalgia. TNX-102 SL is also expected to be tested by the University of North Carolina under a physician IND for Acute Stress Reaction in a trial funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, or CDMRP for approximately $3 million. Tonix’s CNS portfolio also includes TNX-1300 (cocaine esterase), a biologic designed to treat cocaine intoxication that has FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation, in Phase 2 development that is funded by the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse or NIDA. Tonix’s immunology development portfolio consists of biologics to address organ transplant rejection, autoimmunity and cancer, including TNX-1500, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD40-ligand (CD40L or CD154) being developed for the prevention of allograft rejection and for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Tonix also has product candidates in development in the areas of rare disease and infectious disease. Tonix is developing a broad-spectrum antiviral termed TNX-4200 under a contract for up to $34 million from the DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Tonix’s development candidates are investigational drugs or biologics and are not approved for any indication. Tonix Medicines, our commercial subsidiary, markets Zembrace® SymTouch® (sumatriptan injection) 3 mg and Tosymra® (sumatriptan nasal spray) 10 mg for the treatment of acute migraine with or without aura in adults.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tonix Sub, Krele LLC, Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Canada), Inc., Tonix Medicines, Inc., Jenner Institute LLC, Tonix R&D Center LLC, Tonix Pharma Holdings Limited and Tonix Pharma Limited (collectively, the “Company” or “Tonix”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. At June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.2 million. At June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ million. The Company held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ million as of June 30, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company engaged CBRE, an international real estate brokerage firm, to potentially find a strategic partner for, or buyer of, its Advanced Development Center in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts (“ADC”), to align with the Company’s current business objectives and priorities. As of June 30, 2024, the Company does not have a commitment in place to sell the ADC.
The Company believes that its cash resources at June 30, 2024 and the gross proceeds of $4.4 million that it raised from an equity offering in the third quarter of 2024 (See Note 18), will not meet its operating and capital expenditure requirements through the third quarter of 2024.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to face significant challenges and uncertainties and must obtain additional funding through public and private financing and collaborative arrangements with strategic partners to increase the funds available to fund operations. However, the Company may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Without additional funds, it may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its research and development activities or other operations, and potentially delay product development in an effort to maintain sufficient funds to continue operations. If any of these events occurs, the Company’s ability to achieve development and commercialization goals will be adversely affected and the Company may be forced to cease operations. Moreover, the Company may default under the terms of its existing indebtedness. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |

Interim financial statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, contained herein has been derived from audited financial statements.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2024.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 10, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-32 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, The Company accounted for the reverse stock split on a retrospective basis pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. All issued and outstanding common stock, common stock warrants, stock option awards, exercise prices and per share data have been adjusted in these condensed consolidated financial statements, on a retrospective basis, to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Authorized common and preferred stock were not adjusted because of the reverse stock split.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s primary efforts are devoted to conducting research and development of innovative pharmaceutical and biological products to address public health challenges. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. Further, the Company now has commercial products available for sale, and generates revenue from the sale of its Zembrace SymTouch and Tosymra products, with no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to fund operations from its commercial products or products in development if and when approved. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, impairments, provisions for product returns, coupons, rebates, chargebacks, discounts, allowances, inventory realization, the assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, the percent of completion of research and development contracts, fair value estimates for assets acquired in business combinations, and assessment of useful lives of acquired intangible assets.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby the consideration transferred is allocated to the net assets acquired based on their respective fair values measured on the acquisition date. The difference between the fair value of these assets and the purchase price is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, and other direct costs of a business combination are not considered part of the business acquisition transaction and are expensed as incurred.
Segment Information and Concentrations
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company considers its chief executive officer to be the Company’s CODM. The CODM manages its operations and allocates resources based on the Company’s consolidated results and therefore operates as one segment.
The Company has two products that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. These products collectively accounted for 100% of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, accounts receivable from five customers accounted for 31%, 26%, 23%, 11% and 9% of total accounts receivable. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenues from five customers accounted for 27%, 26%, 23%, 18% and 5% of net product revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues from five customers accounted for 24%, 24%, 22%, 16% and 13% of net product revenues, respectively. The Company had no commercialized products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and therefore had no accounts receivable or revenues in the comparative period.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash equivalents to be those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, cash equivalents, which consisted of money market funds, amounted to $24,000 and $19.2 million, respectively. Restricted cash, which is included in Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, at June 30, 2024, of approximately $ million collateralizes a letter of credit issued in connection with the lease of office space in Chatham, New Jersey (see Note 16) and restricted cash held by vendors in escrow accounts for patient support services. Restricted cash at June 30, 2023, of approximately $243,000, collateralizes a letter of credit issued in connection with the lease of office space in Chatham, New Jersey and New York, New York.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from our wholesale and other third-party distributors and pharmacies and have standard payment terms that generally require payment within 30 to 90 days. For certain customers, the accounts receivable for the customer is net of cash discounts, chargebacks and customer rebates. We do not adjust our receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if we expect to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time of sale. We provide reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses, as the Company’s exposure to credit losses is de minimis. An allowance for credit losses is determined based on the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers and the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. The payment history of the Company’s customers will be considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We attempt to minimize the risks related to cash and cash equivalents by investing in a broad and diverse range of financial instruments, and we have established guidelines related to credit ratings and maturities intended to safeguard principal balances and maintain liquidity. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables, which are typically unsecured, are somewhat mitigated due to the variety of customers using our products, as well as their dispersion across different geographic areas.
We monitor the financial performance and creditworthiness of our customers so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. We continue to monitor these conditions and assess their possible impact on our business.
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the weighted average cost method. Acquired inventory was valued at estimated selling price less a reasonable margin. The Company periodically reviews the composition of inventory in order to identify excess, obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items taking into account anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company records a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded write-downs related to Tosymra and Zembrace finished goods inventory of approximately $1.7 million based on an assessment of inventory on hand and projected sales prior to the respective expiration dates. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated decreases in demand could have a material impact on the carrying value of inventories and reported operating results.
The Company did not have inventory on hand prior to the acquisition of Zembrace and Tosymra on June 30, 2023.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life, which ranges from 20 to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and laboratory equipment, three years for computer assets, five years for furniture and all other equipment and the for leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization on assets begin when the asset is placed in service. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $0.9 million, for both reporting periods. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company’s property and equipment is located in the United States.
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets deemed to have finite lives are carried at acquisition-date fair value less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of certain products from Upsher Smith Laboratories, LLC (“Upsher Smith”) consummated on June 30, 2023 (See Note 5). The acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was $ million and $ million, respectively. The Company recorded a full impairment of its developed technology assets during the three months ended June 30, 2024, discussed further below.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased certain internet domain rights, which were determined to have an indefinite life. Identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives, which are included in Intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet, are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may be less than fair value. The Company completed the required annual impairment test for the indefinite-lived intangible as of June 30, 2024, its annual impairment assessment date, by performing a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible is less than its carrying amount, resulting in no impairment.
Impairment testing of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property and equipment, finite-lived intangibles assets and operating lease right-to-use assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified certain triggering events related to the ADC and the decommissioning of the ADC. The Company determined that the carrying value of the ADC was not recoverable and that the carrying value exceeded its fair value. As such, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $48.8 million, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Additionally, due to a sustained decline in revenues and continued delays in building out the sales team for its commercialized products, the Company also tested its commercialized products asset group for recoverability as of June 30, 2024. The Company determined that the carrying value was not recoverable and therefore estimated the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge for the amount of $9.2 million, representing the excess carrying value over the fair value, consisting of $6.2 million and $3.0 million for the Zembrace and Tosymra developed technology intangible assets, respectively, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company previously recognized goodwill in connection with the USL Acquisition consummated on June 30, 2023 (See Note 5). The Company completed the required annual impairment test for goodwill as of June 30, 2024, which resulted in full non-cash impairment of the Company’s $965,000 of goodwill, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, noncurrent in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date and subsequent lease commencement dates in determining the present value of lease payments. This is the rate the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term to each lease. The operating lease ROU asset excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments made under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs represent the cost of obtaining financing arrangements and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs related to term debt arrangements are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of deferred financing costs are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Original issue discount
Certain term debt issued by the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. Original issue discounts are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt liability on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the related debt agreement using the effective interest method. Amortization of original issue discounts are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records and recognizes revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenues primarily result from contracts with customers, which are generally short-term and have a single performance obligation - the delivery of product. The Company’s performance obligation to deliver products is satisfied at the point in time that the goods are received by the customer, which is when the customer obtains title to and has the risks and rewards of ownership of the products, which is generally upon shipment or delivery to the customer as stipulated by the terms of the sale agreements. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Our contractual payment terms are typically 30 to 90 days.
Revenues from product sales, net of gross-to-net deductions, are recorded only to the extent a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not probable of occurring and when the uncertainty associated with gross-to-net deductions is subsequently resolved. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected from customers are excluded from product sales. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation.
Many of the Company’s products sold are subject to a variety of deductions. Revenues are recognized net of estimated rebates and chargebacks, cash discounts, distributor fees, sales return provisions and other related deductions. Deductions to product sales are referred to as gross-to-net deductions and are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related product sales occur. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to gross sales in determining net sales, and as a contra asset within accounts receivable, net (if settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgements about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The following section briefly describes the nature of the Company’s provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated:
Chargebacks - The Company sells a portion of its products indirectly through wholesaler distributors, and enters into specific agreements with these indirect customers to establish pricing for the Company’s products, and in-turn, the indirect customers and entities independently purchase these products. Because the price paid by the indirect customers and/or entities is lower than the price paid by the wholesaler, the Company provides a credit, called a chargeback, to the wholesaler for the difference between the contractual price with the indirect customers and the wholesale customer’s purchase price. The Company’s provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s wholesale customers to the indirect customers and estimated wholesaler inventory levels as well as historical chargeback rates. The Company continually monitors its reserve for chargebacks and adjusts the reserve accordingly when expected chargebacks differ from actual experience.
Rebates - The Company participates in certain government and specific sales rebate programs which provides discounted prescription drugs to qualified recipients, and primarily relate to Medicaid and managed care rebates in the U.S., pharmacy rebates, Tri-Care rebates and discounts, specialty pharmacy program fees and other governmental rebates or applicable allowances.
Prompt-Pay and other Sales Discounts - The Company provides for prompt pay discounts, which early payments are recorded as a reduction of revenue and as a reduction in the accounts receivable at the time of sale based on the customer’s contracted discount rate. Consumer sales discounts represent programs the Company has in place to reduce costs to the patient. This includes copay buy down and eVoucher programs.
Product Returns - Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers customers a right to return any unused product. The customer’s right of return commences typically six months prior to product expiration date and ends one year after product expiration date. Products returned for expiration are reimbursed at current wholesale acquisition cost or indirect contract price. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by the Company’s customers and accrues this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company estimates products returns as a percentage of sales to its customers. The rate is estimated by using historical sales information, including its visibility and estimates into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. Adjustments are made to the current provision for returns when data suggests product returns may differ from original estimates.
Research and Development Costs
The Company outsources certain of its research and development efforts and expenses these costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing products for testing, as well as licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired has been expensed as research and development costs, as such property is related to particular research and development projects and had no alternative future uses.
The Company estimates its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company accounts for trial expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the trial. The Company determines accrual estimates taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of consummation of trials, or the services completed.
During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors.
Government Grants
From time to time, the Company may enter into arrangements with governmental entities for the purpose of obtaining funding for research and development activities. The Company is reimbursed for costs incurred that are associated with specified research and development activities included in the grant application approved by the government authority. The Company classifies government grants received under these arrangements as a reduction to the related research and development expense in the same period as the relevant expenses are incurred. In August 2022, the Company received a Cooperative Agreement grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National Institutes of Health, to support the development of its TNX-1300 product candidate for the treatment of cocaine intoxication. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received $0.5 million in funding as a reduction of related . Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets is an additional $0.3 million which was received in July 2024 and resulted in a further reduction of research and development expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received $1.9 million in funding as a reduction of related research and development expense.
All stock-based payments to employees and to nonemployees for their services, including grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and stock options, are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for share-based awards in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Operations of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Canada), Inc., are conducted in local currency, which represents its functional currency. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the other foreign subsidiaries. Balance sheet accounts of the Canadian subsidiary were translated from foreign currency into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income statement accounts were translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) represents foreign currency translation adjustments.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Derivative Instruments and Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase common stock under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives (See Note 13). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates, which is adjusted for instrument-specific terms as applicable.
From time to time, certain equity-linked instruments may be classified as derivative liabilities due to the variable exercise price of the shares to fully settle the equity-linked financial instruments in shares. In such case, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date.
In the event that reclassification of contracts between equity and assets or liabilities is necessary, the Company first allocates remaining authorized shares to equity on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated to equity beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first.
The classification of derivative instruments is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period. Prefunded warrants are assumed exercised on date of issuance and are included in the basic EPS calculation.
All warrants issued participate on a one-for-one basis with common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, on the Company’s common stock. For purposes of computing EPS, these warrants are considered to participate with common stock in earnings of the Company. Therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income for the period is allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. No income was allocated to the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, as results of operations were a loss for the periods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting--Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The new guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) regularly provided to (or easily computed from information regularly provided to) the chief operating decision maker and (2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The new standard also allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are used to assess performance and allocate resources. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2024, and will be adopted retrospectively unless impracticable. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted new rules relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-change-related physical and transition risks, data, and opportunities. The adopted rule contains several new disclosure obligations, including, (i) disclosure on how the board of directors and management oversee climate-related risks and certain climate-related governance items, (ii) disclosure of information related to a registrant’s climate-related targets, goals, and/or transition plans, and (iii) disclosure on whether and how climate-related events and transition activities impact line items above a threshold amount on a registrant’s consolidated financial statements, including the impact of the financial estimates and the assumptions used. This new rule will first be effective in the Company’s disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting for certain of its financial assets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes:
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company used Level 1 quoted prices in active markets to value cash equivalents which were de minimis for both periods presented. The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, Level 3 liabilities included a portion of the Company’s outstanding Series D Warrants and all of the Company’s outstanding Series C Warrants issued in December 2023, which did not meet the criteria for equity classification due to insufficient authorized shares to settle the instruments and were therefore accounted for as liabilities at fair value. After the Company received stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares on January 25, 2024, the liability classified Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants met all requirements for equity classification and, as a result, the Company reclassified them to equity as of January 25, 2024.
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants using significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. For periods prior to the receipt of stockholder approval, the fair value was then adjusted by applying a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) based on the expected timing of receipt of stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares and to allow the Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Additionally, between April 1, 2024 and May 22, 2024, Level 3 liabilities included a portion of the Company’s outstanding August 2023 Warrants, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants, and Series D Warrants (collectively, the “Existing Warrants”), as a result of certain Warrant Amendments entered into upon the closing of an equity financing on April 1, 2024, which provided for adjustments to the exercise prices of the Existing Warrants, contingent on approval by the Company’s stockholders of a proposal to allow the Existing Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. The Company determined that the exercise price adjustment provision that is contingent on stockholder approval precluded the Existing Warrants from being indexed to the Company’s own stock, and therefore were reclassified to liabilities at post-modification fair value on April 1, 2024. After the Company received stockholder approval on May 22, 2024, thereby reducing the exercise prices of each of the Existing Warrants to $10.56 per share, the Existing Warrants met all requirements for equity classification and the Company reclassified them to equity as of May 22, 2024. To estimate the fair value of the Existing Warrants on the reclassification dates, the Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model, probability weighted for different scenarios as applicable.
The following table summarizes the range of significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of liability-classified warrants as of December 31, 2023 and on the respective reclassification dates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024:
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the liability-classified warrants measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024:
There were no liability-classified warrants measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three or six months ended June 30, 2023. Changes in the fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a separate component in the consolidated statement of operations. |

| DEBT FINANCING | NOTE 7 – DEBT FINANCING
Long-term debt consists of the following:
On December 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan and Guaranty Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, Krele LLC, Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Jenner and Tonix R&D Center (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), with JGB Capital, LP, JGB Partners, LP, JGB (Cayman) Port Ellen Ltd., and any other lender from time to time party hereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), and JGB Collateral LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, “JGB Agent”) for a 36-month term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of $11.0 million, with a maturity date of December 8, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Term Loan was funded with an original issue discount of 9% of the principal amount of the Term Loan, or $1.0 million, which is being amortized over the term of the debt as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowings.
Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate as defined in the Loan Agreement plus 3.5% and (ii) 12%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears commencing in December 2023. In connection with the Term Loan, the Company deposited into a reserve account $1.8 million to be used exclusively to fund interest payments related to the Term Loan. The remaining deposit as of June 30, 2024 totals $0.9 million, which is reflected in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Commencing on March 8, 2024 and continuing monthly through the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal is due and payable in monthly installments of $0.2 million, with the final remaining balance of unpaid principal and interest due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Company must pay a monthly collateral monitoring charge equal to 0.23% of the outstanding principal amount of the term loan as of the date of payment. The Company incurred $1.1 million in issuance costs, which is being amortized over the term of the debt as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowings.
The Loan Agreement provides for voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment premium. The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants by the Company, which among other things, will require the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the lenders, to maintain a deposit account to fund interest payments, and limit the ability of the Company to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, covenant default, insolvency, material judgements, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, invalidity of guarantees. The Term Loan is secured by first priority security interests in the Company’s R&D Center in Frederick, Maryland, the Advanced Development Center in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and substantially all of the relevant deposit accounts.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the Term Loan approximated its fair value as the contractual interest rate for the Term Loan was representative of the then market interest rate.
Annual future principal payments due on the Term Loan as of March 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

| ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH UPSHER-SMITH | NOTE 10 – ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH UPSHER-SMITH
On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Upsher Smith related to Zembrace SymTouch (sumatriptan injection) 3 mg (“Zembrace”) and Tosymra (sumatriptan nasal spray) 10 mg (“Tosymra”) products (such businesses collectively, the “Business”) and certain inventory related to the Business for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ million, including certain deferred payments and subject to customary adjustments (such transaction, the “USL Acquisition”).
On June 30, 2023, in connection with the USL Acquisition, the Company and Upsher Smith entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”), pursuant to which Upsher Smith provided certain transition services to the Company for base fees equal to $100,000 per month for the first six months, and $150,000 per months for the seventh through ninth months, plus additional monthly fees for each service category totaling up to $150,000 per month. The Company has amended the transitional services agreement with Upsher Smith so that Upsher Smith can continue to provide for the management of certain government rebates. Upsher Smith will be reimbursed by the Company at cost for any rebates they pay on the Company’s behalf.
The Company has assumed certain obligations of Upsher Smith, including the payment of quarterly royalty payments on annual net sales from the Business in the U.S. as follows: for Tosymra, 4% for net sales of $0 to $30 million, 7% of net sales of $30 to $75 million; 9% for net sales of $75 to $100 million; 12% for net sales of $100 to $150 million; and 15% for net sales greater than $150 million. Royalty payments with respect to Tosymra are payable until the expiration or termination of the product’s Orange Book listed patent(s) with respect to the United States or, outside the United States, the expiration of the last valid claim covering the product in the relevant country of the territory.
For Zembrace, royalty payments on annual net sales in the U.S. are 3% for net sales of $0 to $30 million, 6% of net sales of $30 to $75 million; 12% for net sales of $75 to $100 million; 16% for net sales of greater than $100 million. Such royalty payments are payable until July 19, 2025. Upon the entry of a generic version of the relevant product, the applicable royalty rates shall be reduced by 90% percent with respect to Zembrace, and by 66.7% percent for Tosymra. Prior to Purchaser or a licensee filing an application for marketing authorization for either of the products in a permitted country outside the U.S., the parties will negotiate in good faith the royalty payment rates annual net sales tiers that will apply for such country, based on the market opportunity for the product in such country. If the parties fail to agree, then the royalty payment rates and annual net sales tiers described above will apply.
In addition, the Company has assumed the obligation to pay an additional 3% royalty on net sales of Tosymra, plus an additional 3% if a patent containing certain claims related to Tosymra issues in the U.S., for 15 years from the first commercial sale of Tosymra in the applicable country or for as long as the manufacture, use or sale of Tosymra in such country is covered by a valid claim of a licensed patent, and up to $15 million per Tosymra product on the achievement of sales milestones.
As consideration for acquisition of the Business and certain product-related inventories, the Company paid approximately $23.5 million in cash upfront. In April 2024, the Company paid the additional deferred payment of $3.0 million in cash.
The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration (in thousands):
The USL Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The tangible and intangible assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, and the difference between the fair value of these assets and the purchase price has been recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary valuations and estimates and assumptions which are subject to change. As the Company receives additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, the fair values of the acquired inventory and intangible assets may be adjusted, with the offset recorded to goodwill.
The following table represents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired by the Company in the USL Acquisition recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
The acquired inventory consists of Upsher Smith’s raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished goods inventory as of the Closing date. The fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price of the inventory, less the estimated total costs to complete, disposal effort and holding costs.
Intangible assets eligible for recognition separate from goodwill were those that satisfied either the contractual or legal criterion or the separability criterion in the accounting guidance. The identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives for amortization are as follows (in thousands):
The developed technology intangible assets related to Zembrace and Tosymra includes the value associated with the acquired patents, customer relationships, and trademarks and trade names associated with the technology. The developed technology intangible assets were valued as composite assets under the premise that each asset is reliant on one another to generate cash flow, is not considered separable from the technology, and are assumed to have similar useful lives. The composite intangible assets were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization. The key assumptions used in estimating the fair values of intangible assets include forecasted financial information, the weighted average cost of capital, customer retention rates, and certain other assumptions.
The fair values assigned to the assets acquired are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that market participants would use. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
As the Closing occurred on the last day of the second quarter of 2023, the operations of the Business had no impact on the Company’s operating results for the three or six months ended June 30, 2023.
Supplemental Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as if the USL Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2023, and gives effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the acquisition, including additional amortization expense related to the fair value of intangible assets acquired and an increase in Cost of Sales related to the acquisition-date fair value adjustment to inventory. On an unaudited pro forma basis, consolidated Net Product Sales and Net Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, would have been $3.5 million and $29.7 million, and $7.6 million and $64.2 million, respectively. These amounts are based on financial information of the acquired business and are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s operating results would have been had the acquisition taken place on the date presented, nor is it indicative of the Company’s future operating results. The net loss of USL Acquisition business is included in the Company’s consolidated results since the date of acquisition. The revenue and net loss of the USL Acquisition business reflected in the condensed consolidated statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, is $2.2 million and $13.3 million, and $4.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively.
As described above, in connection with the USL Acquisition, the Company and Upsher Smith entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Upsher Smith related to providing ongoing services associated with the assets acquired, such as procuring and selling migraine therapy products, providing accounting, and billing services and collecting accounts receivable and paying trade payables. Upsher Smith collected and will continue to collect cash on behalf of Tonix for revenue generated by sales of the assets acquired from June 30, 2023, through the transition period and the Seller is obligated to transfer cash generated by such sales to the Company. On April 1, 2024, the Company amended the transitional services agreement with Upsher Smith so that Upsher Smith will only provide for the management of certain government rebates. Upsher Smith will be reimbursed by the Company at cost for any rebates they pay on the Company’s behalf. |

Healion’s drug portfolio includes a class of broad-spectrum small molecule oral antiviral drug candidates with a novel host-directed mechanism of action, including TNX-3900, formerly known as HB-121. As consideration for entering into the Healion Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $1.2 million to Healion. Because the Healion intellectual property was acquired prior to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, the cash consideration totaling $1.2 million, was expensed as research and development costs since there is no alternative future use and the acquired intellectual property does not constitute a business. |

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses.
March 2024 Financing
On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to shares of common stock, and accompanying Series E warrants to purchase up to shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10.56 per share and expiring from date of issuance in a public offering, which closed on April 1, 2024. The offering price per share of common stock was $, and the offering price per share of pre-funded warrants was $.
The Company incurred offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million, including placement agent fees of approximately $0.3 million. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3.9 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses.
Additionally, with the closing of the financing on April 1, 2024, the Company entered into warrant amendments (collectively, the “Warrant Amendments”) with certain holders of its common warrants (referred to herein as the “Existing Warrants”). The Company agreed to amend the exercise price of each Existing Warrant to $10.56 upon approval by the Company’s stockholders of a proposal to allow the Existing Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 or, if stockholder approval is not obtained by October 1, 2024, the Company agreed to automatically amend the exercise price of the Existing Warrants to the Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) of the Company’s common stock on October 1, 2024, if and only if the Minimum Price is below the then current exercise price. Upon stockholder approval, the termination date for the warrants issued August 2023 (the “August Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of shares was amended to April 1, 2029; the termination date for Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately shares is April 1, 2029; the termination date for Series B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately shares is April 1, 2025; the termination date for Series C Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately shares is the earlier of (i) April 1, 2026 and (ii) 10 trading days following notice by the Company to the Series C Warrant holders of the Company’s public announcement of the FDA’s acknowledgement and acceptance of the Company’s NDA relating to TNX-102 SL in patients with Fibromyalgia; the termination date for Series D Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately shares is April 1, 2029. The other terms of the Existing Warrants remained unchanged.
The Company evaluated the Warrant Amendments as of April 1, 2024, and determined that the potential adjustment to the exercise price that is contingent on stockholder approval precluded the Existing Warrants from being indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as a result, did not meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40. The Company accounted for the Warrant Amendments as a direct and incremental cost of the March 2024 financing and recognized the incremental fair value resulting from the modified terms of approximately $3.0 million as an offset to the proceeds received. As all of the Existing Warrants were equity-classified prior to the Warrant Amendments, the net impact to the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity was zero. The Company then reclassified the Existing Warrants from equity to liabilities at post-modification fair value on April 1, 2024.
On May 22, 2024, at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the proposal to amend the exercise prices of the Existing Warrants to $10.56 per share and extend the expiration dates. The Company determined the Existing Warrants met all of the criteria for equity classification as of the approval date. The Existing Warrants were adjusted to fair value through May 22, 2024, when the warrants were reclassified to equity. Changes in the fair value of the liability-classified warrants were recognized as a separate component in the consolidated statement of operations.
December 2023 Financing
On December 20, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company sold and issued (i) shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to shares of common stock and (iii) Series C warrants to purchase up to shares of common stock (the “Series C Warrants”), and (iv) Series D warrants to purchase up to shares of common stock (the “Series D Warrants” and, together with the Series C Warrants, the “Common Warrants”). The securities sold in the offering were sold in fixed combinations as units. The offering price per share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants was $, and the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrants was $. The offering closed on December 22, 2023, generating gross proceeds of approximately $30.0 million, before deducting offering expenses of $2.3 million payable by the Company. At the closing of the offering, Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercised into shares of common stock for nominal proceeds.
The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are immediately exercisable subject to certain ownership limitations, and can be exercised at any time until exercised in full. The Series C Warrants have an exercise price of $17.76 per share, and are exercisable on the later of approval by the Company’s stockholders of (i) a proposal to approve the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from to and (ii) a proposal to allow the Warrants to become exercisable in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the later of such events, the “Approval Date”) and will expire on the later of (a) 10 trading days following the Approval Date and (b) the earlier of (x) the two year anniversary of the Approval Date and (y) 10 trading days following the public announcement of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) acknowledgement and acceptance of the New Drug Application (“NDA”) relating to the Company’s TNX-102 SL product candidate in patients with fibromyalgia. The Series D Warrants have an exercise price of $27.20 per share and are exercisable beginning on the Approval Date through the anniversary of the Approval Date.
Upon the closing of the offering, the Company determined that certain of the Common Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification due to the lack of sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the instruments. The Company has adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date, whereby shares are allocated based on the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first. Pursuant to this sequencing approach, the Company’s authorized and unissued shares were applied to the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Common Warrants in the following order: (i) the Pre-Funded Warrants, (ii) the Series D Warrants, and (iii) the Series C Warrants. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that the authorized shares are sufficient to settle the remaining Pre-Funded Warrants and Series D Warrants and were therefore classified in equity. The remaining Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants associated with the deficit shares were classified as liabilities and are accounted for at fair value.
The $30.0 million in gross proceeds received by the Company were first allocated to the Series C Warrants and the liability-classified Series D Warrants at their respective fair values of approximately $14.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The residual proceeds of approximately $7.5 million were allocated to the shares of common stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the equity-classified Series D Warrants on a relative fair value basis. The issuance costs totaling $2.3 million were allocated between the equity and liability-classified instruments on a relative fair value basis. Issuance costs of $1.4 million allocated to the shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the equity-classified Series D Warrants were recognized as a discount to the proceeds allocated to the equity-classified instruments. Issuance costs of $0.9 million were allocated to the liability-classified Series D Warrants and the Series C Warrants and expensed within Selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
On January 25, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the proposal to file an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from to .
The liability-classified Series D Warrants and all of the Series C Warrants were presented within non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, and were adjusted to fair value through January 25, 2024, when the warrants were reclassified to equity.

| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
On May 1, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (“Amended and Restated 2020 Plan”).
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, the Company may issue (1) stock options (incentive and nonstatutory), (2) restricted stock, (3) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (4) RSUs, (5) other stock-based awards, and (6) cash-based awards. The Amended and Restated 2020 Plan initially provided for the issuance of up to shares of common stock, which amount will be increased to the extent that awards granted under the Plans are forfeited, expire or are settled for cash (except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan). In addition, the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan contains an “evergreen provision” providing for an annual increase in the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years, commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030, in an amount equal to the difference between (x) twenty percent (%) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, and (y) the total number of shares of common stock reserved under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan on December 31st of such preceding calendar year (including shares subject to outstanding awards, issued pursuant to awards or available for future awards). The Board of Directors determines the exercise price, vesting and expiration period of the grants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than % of fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant for a 10% or more shareholder and % of fair value for a grantee who is not a 10% shareholder. The fair value of the common stock is determined based on quoted market price or in absence of such quoted market price, by the Board of Directors in good faith. Additionally, the expiration period of grants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan may not be more than . As of June 30, 2024, options were available for future grants under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan.
General
The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s closing stock price at the respective dates.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended June 2024 was $ per share and $ per share, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended June 2023 was $ per share and $ per share, respectively.
The Company measures the fair value of stock options on the date of grant, based on the Black Scholes option pricing model using certain assumptions discussed below, and the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. of most stock options granted pursuant to the Plans vest 12 months from the date of grant and th each month thereafter for 24 months and expire from the date of grant. In addition, the Company issues options to directors which vest over a period. The Company also issues premium options to executive officers which have an exercise price greater than the grant date fair value and has issued performance-based options which vest when target parameters are met or probable of being met, subject in each case to a minimum service period prior to vesting. Stock-based compensation expense related to awards is amortized over the applicable service period using the straight-line method.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of Daily U.S. Treasury Yield Curve Rates with terms equal to the expected term of the options as of the grant date. The expected term of options is determined using the simplified method, as provided in an SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, and the expected stock price volatility is based on the Company’ historical stock price volatility.
Stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted of $ million, of which $ million and $ million, related to General and Administration and Research and Development, respectively was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense relating to options granted of $ million, of which $ million and $ million, related to General and Administration and Research and Development, respectively was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

| Use of estimates | Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, impairments, provisions for product returns, coupons, rebates, chargebacks, discounts, allowances, inventory realization, the assumptions used in the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, the percent of completion of research and development contracts, fair value estimates for assets acquired in business combinations, and assessment of useful lives of acquired intangible assets.

| Segment Information and Concentrations | Segment Information and Concentrations
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company considers its chief executive officer to be the Company’s CODM. The CODM manages its operations and allocates resources based on the Company’s consolidated results and therefore operates as one segment.
The Company has two products that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. These products collectively accounted for 100% of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, accounts receivable from five customers accounted for 31%, 26%, 23%, 11% and 9% of total accounts receivable. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenues from five customers accounted for 27%, 26%, 23%, 18% and 5% of net product revenues, respectively.

| Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash equivalents to be those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, cash equivalents, which consisted of money market funds, amounted to $24,000 and $19.2 million, respectively. Restricted cash, which is included in Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, at June 30, 2024, of approximately $ million collateralizes a letter of credit issued in connection with the lease of office space in Chatham, New Jersey (see Note 16) and restricted cash held by vendors in escrow accounts for patient support services. Restricted cash at June 30, 2023, of approximately $243,000, collateralizes a letter of credit issued in connection with the lease of office space in Chatham, New Jersey and New York, New York.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable, net | Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from our wholesale and other third-party distributors and pharmacies and have standard payment terms that generally require payment within 30 to 90 days. For certain customers, the accounts receivable for the customer is net of cash discounts, chargebacks and customer rebates. We do not adjust our receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if we expect to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time of sale. We provide reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have an allowance for credit losses, as the Company’s exposure to credit losses is de minimis. An allowance for credit losses is determined based on the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers and the Company considers economic factors and events or trends expected to affect future collections experience. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. The payment history of the Company’s customers will be considered in future assessments of collectability as these patterns are established over a longer period.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. We attempt to minimize the risks related to cash and cash equivalents by investing in a broad and diverse range of financial instruments, and we have established guidelines related to credit ratings and maturities intended to safeguard principal balances and maintain liquidity. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables, which are typically unsecured, are somewhat mitigated due to the variety of customers using our products, as well as their dispersion across different geographic areas.
We monitor the financial performance and creditworthiness of our customers so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. We continue to monitor these conditions and assess their possible impact on our business.

| Inventories | Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the weighted average cost method. Acquired inventory was valued at estimated selling price less a reasonable margin. The Company periodically reviews the composition of inventory in order to identify excess, obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items taking into account anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company records a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded write-downs related to Tosymra and Zembrace finished goods inventory of approximately $1.7 million based on an assessment of inventory on hand and projected sales prior to the respective expiration dates. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated decreases in demand could have a material impact on the carrying value of inventories and reported operating results.

| Property and equipment | Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life, which ranges from 20 to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements and laboratory equipment, three years for computer assets, five years for furniture and all other equipment and the for leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization on assets begin when the asset is placed in service. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $0.9 million, for both reporting periods. Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The Company’s property and equipment is located in the United States.

| Intangible assets, net | Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets deemed to have finite lives are carried at acquisition-date fair value less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of developed technology intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of certain products from Upsher Smith Laboratories, LLC (“Upsher Smith”) consummated on June 30, 2023 (See Note 5). The acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was $ million and $ million, respectively. The Company recorded a full impairment of its developed technology assets during the three months ended June 30, 2024, discussed further below.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased certain internet domain rights, which were determined to have an indefinite life. Identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives, which are included in Intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet, are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may be less than fair value. The Company completed the required annual impairment test for the indefinite-lived intangible as of June 30, 2024, its annual impairment assessment date, by performing a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible is less than its carrying amount, resulting in no impairment. |

| Impairment testing of long-lived assets | Impairment testing of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including property and equipment, finite-lived intangibles assets and operating lease right-to-use assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified certain triggering events related to the ADC and the decommissioning of the ADC. The Company determined that the carrying value of the ADC was not recoverable and that the carrying value exceeded its fair value. As such, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $48.8 million, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Additionally, due to a sustained decline in revenues and continued delays in building out the sales team for its commercialized products, the Company also tested its commercialized products asset group for recoverability as of June 30, 2024. The Company determined that the carrying value was not recoverable and therefore estimated the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge for the amount of $9.2 million, representing the excess carrying value over the fair value, consisting of $6.2 million and $3.0 million for the Zembrace and Tosymra developed technology intangible assets, respectively, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. |

| Goodwill | Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company previously recognized goodwill in connection with the USL Acquisition consummated on June 30, 2023 (See Note 5). The Company completed the required annual impairment test for goodwill as of June 30, 2024, which resulted in full non-cash impairment of the Company’s $965,000 of goodwill, which is reflected in asset impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

| Leases | Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, noncurrent in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date and subsequent lease commencement dates in determining the present value of lease payments. This is the rate the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term to each lease. The operating lease ROU asset excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments made under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
The Company records and recognizes revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenues primarily result from contracts with customers, which are generally short-term and have a single performance obligation - the delivery of product. The Company’s performance obligation to deliver products is satisfied at the point in time that the goods are received by the customer, which is when the customer obtains title to and has the risks and rewards of ownership of the products, which is generally upon shipment or delivery to the customer as stipulated by the terms of the sale agreements. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Our contractual payment terms are typically 30 to 90 days.
Revenues from product sales, net of gross-to-net deductions, are recorded only to the extent a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized is not probable of occurring and when the uncertainty associated with gross-to-net deductions is subsequently resolved. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected from customers are excluded from product sales. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation.
Many of the Company’s products sold are subject to a variety of deductions. Revenues are recognized net of estimated rebates and chargebacks, cash discounts, distributor fees, sales return provisions and other related deductions. Deductions to product sales are referred to as gross-to-net deductions and are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related product sales occur. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to gross sales in determining net sales, and as a contra asset within accounts receivable, net (if settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgements about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The following section briefly describes the nature of the Company’s provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated:
Chargebacks - The Company sells a portion of its products indirectly through wholesaler distributors, and enters into specific agreements with these indirect customers to establish pricing for the Company’s products, and in-turn, the indirect customers and entities independently purchase these products. Because the price paid by the indirect customers and/or entities is lower than the price paid by the wholesaler, the Company provides a credit, called a chargeback, to the wholesaler for the difference between the contractual price with the indirect customers and the wholesale customer’s purchase price. The Company’s provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s wholesale customers to the indirect customers and estimated wholesaler inventory levels as well as historical chargeback rates. The Company continually monitors its reserve for chargebacks and adjusts the reserve accordingly when expected chargebacks differ from actual experience.
Rebates - The Company participates in certain government and specific sales rebate programs which provides discounted prescription drugs to qualified recipients, and primarily relate to Medicaid and managed care rebates in the U.S., pharmacy rebates, Tri-Care rebates and discounts, specialty pharmacy program fees and other governmental rebates or applicable allowances.
Prompt-Pay and other Sales Discounts - The Company provides for prompt pay discounts, which early payments are recorded as a reduction of revenue and as a reduction in the accounts receivable at the time of sale based on the customer’s contracted discount rate. Consumer sales discounts represent programs the Company has in place to reduce costs to the patient. This includes copay buy down and eVoucher programs.
Product Returns - Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers customers a right to return any unused product. The customer’s right of return commences typically six months prior to product expiration date and ends one year after product expiration date. Products returned for expiration are reimbursed at current wholesale acquisition cost or indirect contract price. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by the Company’s customers and accrues this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company estimates products returns as a percentage of sales to its customers. The rate is estimated by using historical sales information, including its visibility and estimates into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. Adjustments are made to the current provision for returns when data suggests product returns may differ from original estimates.

| Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs
The Company outsources certain of its research and development efforts and expenses these costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing products for testing, as well as licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired has been expensed as research and development costs, as such property is related to particular research and development projects and had no alternative future uses.
The Company estimates its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company accounts for trial expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the trial. The Company determines accrual estimates taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of consummation of trials, or the services completed.
During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors.

| Government Grants | Government Grants
From time to time, the Company may enter into arrangements with governmental entities for the purpose of obtaining funding for research and development activities. The Company is reimbursed for costs incurred that are associated with specified research and development activities included in the grant application approved by the government authority. The Company classifies government grants received under these arrangements as a reduction to the related research and development expense in the same period as the relevant expenses are incurred. In August 2022, the Company received a Cooperative Agreement grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National Institutes of Health, to support the development of its TNX-1300 product candidate for the treatment of cocaine intoxication. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received $0.5 million in funding as a reduction of related . Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets is an additional $0.3 million which was received in July 2024 and resulted in a further reduction of research and development expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received $1.9 million in funding as a reduction of related research and development expense.

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records a valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

| Derivative Instruments and Warrant Liabilities | Derivative Instruments and Warrant Liabilities
The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase common stock under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives (See Note 13). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates, which is adjusted for instrument-specific terms as applicable.
From time to time, certain equity-linked instruments may be classified as derivative liabilities due to the variable exercise price of the shares to fully settle the equity-linked financial instruments in shares. In such case, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity to determine the classification of its contracts at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date.
In the event that reclassification of contracts between equity and assets or liabilities is necessary, the Company first allocates remaining authorized shares to equity on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest issuance date receiving the first allocation of shares. In the event of identical issuance dates, shares are then allocated to equity beginning with instruments with the latest maturity date first.
The classification of derivative instruments is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified. |

| Per Share Data |
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period. Prefunded warrants are assumed exercised on date of issuance and are included in the basic EPS calculation.
All warrants issued participate on a one-for-one basis with common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, on the Company’s common stock. For purposes of computing EPS, these warrants are considered to participate with common stock in earnings of the Company. Therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income for the period is allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. No income was allocated to the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, as results of operations were a loss for the periods.
