FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not statements of historical fact and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The forward-looking statements are principally, but not exclusively, contained in “Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about management’s confidence or expectations, and our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “goals,” “sees,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “think,” “potential,” “objectives,” “optimistic,” “strategy,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

the timing and success of preclinical studies and clinical trials conducted by us and our development partners;
the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our product candidates, and the labeling for any approved products;
the scope, progress, expansion, and costs of developing and commercializing our product candidates;
the size and growth of the potential markets for our product candidates and the ability to serve those markets;
our expectations regarding our expenses and revenue, the sufficiency of our cash resources and needs for additional financing;
the rate and degree of market acceptance of any of our product candidates;
our expectations regarding competition;
our anticipated growth strategies;
our ability to attract or retain key personnel;
our ability to establish and maintain development partnerships;
our expectations regarding federal, state and foreign regulatory requirements;
regulatory developments in the U.S. and foreign countries;
our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates;
the anticipated trends and challenges in our business and the market in which we operate; and
the impact of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and the global response thereto.

We discuss many of these risks in detail under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on July 7, 2022, or the Annual Report. You should carefully review all these factors, as well as other risks described in our public filings, and you should be aware that there may be other factors, including factors of which we are not currently aware, that could cause these differences.

Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. We may not update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future, unless we have obligations under the federal securities laws to update and disclose material developments related to previously disclosed information.

Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “us,” and “the Company.”

As of September 30, 2022, Kiora had unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents of $4.802 million, and an Accumulated Deficit of $131.965 million. Kiora has incurred losses and negative cash flows since inception, and future losses are anticipated. Based on the cash on hand as of September 30, 2022, the Company anticipates having sufficient cash to fund planned operations into April 2023, however, the acceleration or reduction of cash outflows by Company management can significantly impact the timing for the need to raise additional capital to complete development of its products. To continue development, Kiora will need to raise additional capital through equity financing, license agreements, and/or U.S. government grants. Although historically the Company has been successful at raising capital, most recently raising net proceeds of approximately $5.297 million in a registered direct offering that closed on July 26, 2022, additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to Kiora, if at all. The Company does not know if any future offerings will succeed. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that Company management will succeed in these endeavors. The Company’s recurring losses from operations have caused management to determine there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A dated July 7, 2022. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements of the Company but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 23, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-forty (1-for-40) reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The Amendment became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on September 27, 2022. The Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 23, 2022, and by the Company’s board of directors.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

The Amendment provided that, at the effective time of the Amendment, every forty (40) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment. As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, and restricted stock awards issued by the Company and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, and restricted stock awards, and, in the case of stock options, a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment was reduced proportionately. The reverse stock split did not affect the number of shares or par value of common stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which remained at 50,000,000 shares.

No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. The reverse stock split affected all stockholders proportionately and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership of the Company’s common stock (except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any stockholder owning only a fractional share). As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of September 27, 2022 decreased from 43,163,123 (pre-split) shares to 1,079,045 (post-split) shares.

All share and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements, related footnotes, and management’s discussion and analysis have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. While the number of warrants outstanding did not change, the underlying shares did and are presented reflecting the split. The Company’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on September 27, 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies

Warrant Liability

The Company classifies warrants to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets when the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that may require the Company to transfer cash consideration upon exercise and that cash transfer event would be out of the Company’s control. Such a “warrant liability” is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Black-Scholes model, and it is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in the fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant or meeting the requirements to be reclassified to equity.

For warrants that do not meet the criteria of a liability warrant and are classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as equity instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to measure the value of the warrants at issuance and then applies the relative fair-value of the equity transaction between common stock, preferred stock and warrants. Common stock, and equity-classified warrants each are considered permanent equity.

Refunds for Research and Development

Kiora, through its Kiora GmbH and Bayon Therapeutics, Inc. subsidiaries, is entitled to receive certain refundable tax incentives associated with its research and development expenses in Austria and Australia. These refunds are realized in the form of a cash payment in the year following the incurred research & development expenses. The Company records the refundable payment as a tax receivable and a reduction in expense in the period in which the research and development expenses are incurred.

Related-Party Transactions

The Company incurred expenses of approximately $0.125 million for services to a related party vendor Ora, Inc. who is providing the Company with clinical study services for KIO-301.  One of the Company’s directors is an executive at Ora, Inc.  This amount was included in accounts payable at September 30, 2022 and was subsequently paid.

Adoption of Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This guidance removes the liability and equity separation models for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature or beneficial conversion feature. As a result, companies will more likely account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account). In addition, the guidance simplifies the settlement assessment that issuers perform to determine whether a contract in their own equity qualifies for equity classification. Finally, the guidance requires entities to use the if-converted method to calculate earnings per share for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect for the Company.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity(Subtopic 815-40) to clarify an issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Specifically, the ASU provides a principles-based framework to determine whether an issuer should recognize the modification or exchange as an adjustment to equity or an expense. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have a material effect for the Company.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, which requires business entities to disclose information about certain government assistance they receive. Such disclosure requirements include the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and significant terms and conditions of the transactions. ASU 2021-10 was effective for the Company January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 did not have a material effect for the Company.

The Company accounted for the Bayon acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price was preliminarily allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The following table summarizes the final fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

As of September 30, 2022, the purchase price allocation for the Bayon acquisition is final. Goodwill represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. The goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible. As a result of the impairment evaluation of the Company as a single reporting unit, goodwill was considered fully impaired at December 31, 2021.

The acquired intangible assets, which consist solely of in-process R&D, will not be amortized until the underlying development programs are completed. Upon obtaining regulatory approval, the intangible assets are then accounted for as finite-lived intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

Consolidated Results

Net loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes net losses of Bayon of $0.950 million and $1.399 million, respectively.

4. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. In connection with a public offering in July 2022, the Company initially recognized a warrant liability that was reclassified to equity in September 2022, as discussed in Note 6. In connection with historical acquisitions, additional consideration may be paid related to the achievement of certain milestones. The following table provides information for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs:

The Company initially values contingent consideration related to business combinations using a probability-weighted calculation of potential payment scenarios discounted at rates reflective of the risks associated with the expected future cash flows for certain milestones. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration include projected financial information, market data and the probability and timing of achieving the specific targets as discussed in Note 9. Acquisition. After the initial valuation, the Company generally uses its best estimate to measure contingent consideration at each subsequent reporting period using the following unobservable Level 3 inputs:

Significant changes in these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value. The contingent consideration reported in the above table resulted is adjusted quarterly based upon the passage of time or the anticipated success or failure of achieving certain milestones. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the three months ended September 20, 2022 and 2021 was $0.338 million and $0.068 million, respectively. The increase in change in fair value of contingent consideration was primarily due to a change in the discount factor and change in discount period. Additionally, a new indication was added for KIO-201 (PCED) which increased the probability of success for the Jade milestone payment by 8%.The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.604 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by changes in estimated probabilities of success related to the orphan drug status designation of the Bayon drug candidate which occurred in March 2022. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $(0.428) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by changes in the estimated probabilities of success derived from an updated industry study published in the first quarter of 2021. The change in fair value of contingent consideration is recorded within operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss.

5. Capital Stock

On January 6, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of 38,278 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to 38,278 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $209.000 per share to an affiliate of Armistice Capital, LLC, with a combined purchase price per share and warrant of $209.000. The total net proceeds from the private placement were approximately $8.000 million. Steven J. Boyd and Keith Maher, each of whom were members of the Company’s board of directors through August 3, 2021, are affiliates of Armistice Capital, LLC, and Mr. Boyd holds voting and investment power over such entity.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Panoptes Pharma Ges.m.b.H in December 2020 (“Panoptes Acquisition”), on June 18, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,086 shares of common stock to former shareholders of Panoptes, which had been held back for a period of eighteen months following the closing of the Panoptes acquisition to satisfy post-closing adjustment and indemnification obligations pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and the former shareholders of Panoptes.

On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to issue and sell stock and warrants in a public offering (the “Public Offering”). On July 25, 2022, the underwriter fully exercised the option granted by the Company to purchase stock and warrants (the “Option”). On July 26, 2022, the Public Offering closed, and the Company issued and sold (i) 592,392 shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) (including 98,138 Common Shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the Option), (ii) 1,280 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) convertible into up to 160,000 shares of common stock, (iii) 30,095,697 Class A Warrants (including 3,925,525 Class A Warrants sold pursuant to the exercise of the Option), and (iv) 30,095,697 Class B Warrants (including 3,925,525 Class B Warrants sold pursuant to the exercise of the Option) (the “Class B Warrants” and together with the Class A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Upon exercise, the warrants will convert on a 40 for 1 basis into a total of 1,504,785 common shares.

A Warrants and 5,000 Class B Warrants resulted in net proceeds to the Company, of approximately $5.297 million net of underwriting discount and commissions of $0.435 million and expense of $0.277 million.

Each Warrant is exercisable at a price per share of common stock of $8.00. The Class A Warrants will expire on September 23, 2023 and the Class B Warrants will expire on September 23, 2027. The exercise prices of the Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock in excess of 4.99% of the shares of common stock then outstanding. At the holder’s option, upon notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease this beneficial ownership limitation not to exceed 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, with any such increase becoming effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

During August 2022, all holders of the Series E Preferred Shares issued in the Public Offering, elected to convert their Series E Preferred Shares into 160,000 shares of Common Stock.

The following is a summary of the Company’s reserved common stock as of September 30, 2022:

6. Warrants

The terms of the Warrants issued as a part of the Public Offering required that the Company obtain shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares so that sufficient shares of common stock would be available before they became exercisable. Under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Warrants were classified as liabilities upon issuance. At issuance, the fair value of the Warrants were $2.249 million. On September 15, 2022, the shareholders voted and approved the increase in authorized shares and on September 23, 2022, they voted and approved a reverse stock split.  These approvals resulted in the Warrants becoming exercisable and the fair value of $3.675 million was reclassified to equity. The change in fair value from the issuance date until the date it was reclassified to equity totaled $1.425 million and was included in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the Warrant liability was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. A summary of the Company’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Warrants granted during the Public Offering is shown in the following table.

Stock Options

The Company grants time-based stock options which generally vest one-third of the underlying shares on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remainder ratably over a 24-month period. The fair value of time-based stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, with such value recognized as expense over the service period, which is typically 3 years, net of actual forfeitures.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $27.02 and $170.39, respectively. The expected term of the options granted is based on management estimate. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s peers common stock. The risk-free interest rate is determined based upon a constant U.S. Treasury security rate with a contractual life that approximates the expected term of the option. Unamortized compensation expense related to the options amounted to $0.429 million as of September 30, 2022 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.80 years.

Other

In the normal course of business, the Company periodically becomes involved in various claims and lawsuits, as well as governmental proceedings and investigations that are incidental to the business. The Company accrues a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and amount of the claim, and an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. With respect to governmental proceedings and investigations, like other companies in the industry, the Company is subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local governmental agencies in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate. As a result, interaction with governmental agencies is ongoing. The Company’s standard practice is to cooperate with regulators and investigators in responding to inquiries.

The Company currently maintains insurance for risks associated with the operation of its business, provision of professional services and ownership of property. These policies provide coverage for a variety of potential losses, including loss or damage to property, bodily injury, general commercial liability, professional errors and omissions and medical malpractice.

During July 2022, the Company became aware of an apparent payroll irregularity that occurred in June 2022 and resulting in approximately $0.120 million being paid to unauthorized recipients. The Company promptly retained an independent firm to investigate the irregularity and to review the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in light of the irregularity. The investigation is ongoing.

Executive Summary

We are a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing and commercializing products for the treatment of ophthalmic diseases.

Our lead product is KIO-301 with an initial focus on patients with later stages of disease progression due to Retinitis Pigmentosa (any and all sub-forms). KIO-301 is a potential vision-restoring small molecule that acts as a “photoswitch” specifically designed to restore vision in patients with inherited and age-related degenerative retinal diseases. The molecule is specifically designed to restore the eyes’ ability to perceive and interpret light in visually impaired patients. It selectively enters viable downstream retinal ganglion cells (no longer receiving electrical input due to degenerated rods and cones) and is intended to turn them into light sensing cells, capable of signaling the brain as to the presence or absence of light. We have initiated a Phase 1b clinical trial in the third quarter of 2022. On March 17, 2022, we were granted Orphan Drug Designation by the United States (“U.S.”) Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”) in KIO-301. KIO-301 (formerly known as B-203) was acquired through the Bayon transaction which closed October 21, 2021.

KIO-101 is a product that focuses on patients with Ocular Presentation of Rheumatoid Arthritis (“OPRA”). KIO-101 is a next generation, non-steroidal, immuno-modulatory, small-molecule inhibitor of Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (“DHODH”) with what we believe to be best-in-class picomolar potency and a validated immune modulating mechanism designed to overcome the off-target side effects and safety issues associated with commercially available DHODH inhibitors. In a 14-Day GLP intravenous (IV) repeated dose toxicity study in rats, no adverse or test item related effects were observed in any of the tested parameters (mortality, clinical observations, ophthalmoscopy, body weight and food consumption, hematology and coagulation, clinical biochemistry, organ weight, pathology and histopathology) at the highest doses tested (1.0 mg/kg). In the fourth quarter of 2021, we reported topline safety and tolerability data from a Phase 1b proof-of-concept (“POC”) study evaluating KIO-101 in patients with ocular surface inflammation. As a further sign of safety, there were zero clinically significant laboratory (including liver enzymes) findings observed in both healthy patients and those with ocular surface inflammation. We expect to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in Q4 of 2022. KIO-101 (formerly known as PP-001) was acquired through the acquisition of Panoptes in the fourth quarter of 2020.

In addition, we are developing KIO-201 for patients with Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defects (PCED), which is an orphan disease and as such, we are currently seeking orphan drug designation. We also are evaluating KIO-201 in patients recovering from surgical wounds, such as those undergoing photorefractive keratectomy (“PRK”) surgery. KIO-201 is a modified form of the natural polymer hyaluronic acid, designed to protect the ocular surface to permit re-epithelialization of the cornea and improve and maintain ocular surface integrity. KIO-201 has unique properties that help hydrate and protect the ocular surface. We are currently evaluating KIO-201 in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with PCEDs and expect topline results in Q1 2023. We are in planning stages of a  Phase 3b trial for patients recovering from the laser vision correction procedure PRK and plan to initiate the study before the end of 2023.

23

Throughout our history, we have not generated significant revenue. We have never been profitable and from inception through September 30, 2022, our losses from operations have aggregated $131.965 million. Our net loss was $11.085 million and $7.588 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development and clinical trials of and seek regulatory approval for our product candidates. If we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses in order to create an infrastructure to support their commercialization including sales, marketing, and distribution functions.

We will need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity, debt financings, license and development agreements, or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

COVID-19 pandemic impact

Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been and may continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and could be further impacted by supply chain interruptions, extended “shelter-in-place” orders or advisories, facility closures or other reasons related to the pandemic. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the extent to which COVID-19 could materially impact our financial conditions, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

To the extent COVID-19 disruptions continue to adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening risks relating to our ability to successfully commercialize newly developed or acquired products, consolidation in the healthcare industry, and maintenance of our contractual relationships.

Recent Developments

On February 23, 2022, we received a written notification (the “Notice Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”), as the closing bid price for our common stock was below the $1.00 per share requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days. The Notice Letter stated that we have 180 calendar days, or until August 22, 2022 (the “Initial Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we can regain compliance if the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

On August 23, 2022, Nasdaq notified us in writing (the “Extension Letter”) that while we had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, we were eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, or until February 20, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Nasdaq’s determination was based on our having met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and on our written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

On October 12, 2022, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that the closing bid price of our common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater for the last 10 consecutive business days and we had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and this matter had been closed.

New Components of results of operations

Other Income (Expense)

Change in fair value of warrant liability. Changes in fair value of warrant liability represent the change in the fair value of outstanding common stock warrants classified as liability awards during the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2022 from the date of issuance until such warrants were reclassified into equity. We used the Black-Scholes pricing model to value the related warrant liability.

24

New Critical Accounting Estimates

Warrant Liability

Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock may be classified on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as equity or liability. We classify warrants as a liability in our consolidated balance sheets if the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that may require us to transfer cash consideration upon exercise and that cash transfer event would be out of our control. Such a “warrant liability” is initially recorded at fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model, and it is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. We adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant or meeting the requirements to be classified as equity.

General and Administrative Expenses. The increase of $0.695 million was primarily due to increases in professional fees of $0.506 million for consulting, audit, travel and other office expenses, corporate expenses of $0.182 million, warrant issuance costs of $0.071 million offset by a decrease in personnel related expenses of $0.067 million.

Research and Development Expenses. The decrease of $0.296 million was primarily due to increases in development costs for KIO-301 of $0.892 million and KIO-101 of $0.022 million and research and development refundable credit of $0.921 million offset by decreases in personnel related costs of $0.220 million and development costs for KIO-201 of $0.054 million.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. The increase of $0.270 million was primarily due to a change in the discount factor and in the discount period. Additionally, a new indication was added for KIO-201 (PCED) which increased the probability of success for the Jade milestone payment by 8%.

Other Income (Expense), Net. The increase of $1.417 million was primarily due to a change in fair value of Warrant liability. The change in fair value of the Warrant liability between issuance and reclassification to equity was $1.425 million in expense and was primarily due to a change in our stock price.

General and Administrative Expenses. The increase of $1.555 million was primarily due to increases in professional fees of $1.257 million for consulting, audit and legal related costs, travel and other office expense, corporate expenses of $0.392 million and warrant issuance costs of $0.071 million offset by a decrease in personnel related expenses of $0.168 million.

Research and Development Expenses. The decrease of $1.741 million was primarily due to a decrease in development costs for KIO-101 of $0.745 million and KIO-201 of $0.517 million, personnel related costs of $0.638 million and research cost of $0.084 million offset by increases in development costs for KIO-301 of $0.999 million and research and development refundable credit of $0.754 million.

Executive Severance. The increase was due primarily to an accrual for the severance agreement with the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $1.033 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by changes in estimated probabilities of success related to the orphan drug status designation of the Bayon drug candidate which occurred in March of 2022. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.484 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by changes in the estimated probabilities of success derived from an updated industry study published in the first quarter of 2021.

Other Income (Expense), Net. The increase of $1.687 million was primarily due to a change in fair value of Warrant liability. The change in fair value of the Warrant liability between issuance and reclassification to equity was $1.425 million in expense and was primarily due to a change in our stock price. This was compared to a $0.276 million gain in 2021 resulting from the full forgiveness of the PPP loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity needs have historically been for acquisitions, working capital, research and development, and capital expenditures. We expect these needs to continue as we develop and work toward commercialize new products. We will need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity, debt financings, license and development agreements, or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or convertible debt, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, or making capital expenditures. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our products, future revenue streams or product candidates, or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Although historically the Company has been successful at raising capital, most recently raising net proceeds of approximately $5.297 million in a registered direct offering that closed on July 26, 2022, net of underwriting discount and commissions of $0.435 million and expense of $0.277 million. Additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to Kiora, if at all. The Company does not know if any future offerings will succeed. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

Information regarding cash flows

As of September 30, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $4.802 million and restricted cash totaling $0.049 million for a total of $4.851 million compared to $7.900 million at December 31, 2021. The following table sets forth the primary uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30,:

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities increased $0.543 million primarily due to research and development activities.

Investing Activities. The increase in cash from investing activities is due to a sale of an asset in 2022 as opposed to assets acquired in 2021.

Financing Activities. The decrease in cash from financing activities is due to receiving net proceeds of approximately $5.297 million in a public offering that closed on July 26, 2022 compared to receiving net proceeds of $9.756 million from the completion of a 2021 registered direct offering, as well as net proceeds of $8.000 million from the completion of a 2021 private placement.

Funding Requirements and Other Liquidity Matters

Our KIO-301, KIO-101 and KIO-201 product pipeline is still in various stages of preclinical and clinical development. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:

seek marketing approval for our KIO-301, KIO-101 or KIO-201 products or any other products that we successfully develop;
establish a sales and marketing infrastructure to commercialize our KIO-301, KIO-101 or KIO-201 products in the United States, if approved; and
add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and future commercialization efforts.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. We do not have any committed external source of funds. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with pharmaceutical partners, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, including our KIO-301, KIO-101 and KIO-201 products, on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market KIO-301, KIO-101 and KIO-201 products, or any other products that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Based on our cash on hand at September 30, 2022, we believe we will have sufficient cash to fund planned operations into April 2023. However, the acceleration or reduction of cash outflows by management can significantly impact the timing for raising additional capital to complete development of its products. To continue development, we will need to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financing, or access additional funding through grants. Although historically we have been successful at raising capital, most recently raising net proceeds of approximately $5.297 million in a registered direct offering that closed on July 26, 2022, additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. We do not know if any future offerings will succeed. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that management will be successful in these endeavors. Our recurring losses from operations have caused management to determine there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets

27

or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 23, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-forty (1-for-40) reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. The Amendment became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on September 27, 2022. The Amendment was approved by our stockholders at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 23, 2022, and by our board of directors.

The Amendment provided that, at the effective time of the Amendment, every forty (40) shares of our issued and outstanding common stock automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. The reverse stock split affected all shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment. As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, and restricted stock awards issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, and restricted stock awards, and, in the case of stock options, a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment was reduced proportionately. The reverse stock split did not affect the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which remained at 50,000,000 shares.

No fractional shares were issued because of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. The reverse stock split affected all stockholders proportionately and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership of our common stock (except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any stockholder owning only a fractional share). As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of our outstanding shares of common stock as of September 27, 2022 decreased from 43,163,123 (pre-split) shares to 1,079,045 (post-split) shares.

All share and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements, related footnotes, and management’s discussion and analysis have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Our common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on September 27, 2022.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

This Report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer) and our Executive Vice President of Finance (who serves as our principal financial / accounting officer) required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. See Exhibit 31.1. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Finance, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q, the Company’s Management, under the supervision of, and with the participation of, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Finance, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation described above and material weaknesses identified in our Form 10-K/A as of December 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Finance have concluded that they believe that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report and have made changes to address the material weaknesses identified.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Accounting and Reporting

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of Finance, have evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial accounting and reporting occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and concluded that changes did occur. These changes were made to address the material weaknesses identified in the Form 10-K/A as of December 31, 2021. We have identified and implemented and continue to implement, certain remediation efforts to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The following changes are underway.

We hired consultants who began working with the company in March 2022 and we are in the process of hiring additional full time resources with the appropriate levels of experience and reallocated responsibilities across the team.
During September 2022, we hired Melissa Tosca as Executive Vice President of Finance, who now serves as our principal financial and accounting officer. In connection with Ms. Toscas appointment, we were able to reduce our reliance on outside consultants for accounting and reporting functions and utilize those resources on a more strategic basis.
We are in the process of performing a detailed financial reporting risk assessment to identify areas that require improvement and are currently implementing changes to address these areas.

While progress has been made to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of implementing, documenting and testing these processes, procedures and controls. Additional time is required to complete implementation and to assess and ensure the sustainability of these procedures. We will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
