1. Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”
or “Synthetic Biologics”) is a diversified clinical-stage company leveraging the microbiome to develop therapeutics
designed to prevent and treat gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in areas of high unmet need. The Company’s lead candidates are:
(1) SYN-004 (ribaxamase) which is designed to degrade certain commonly used intravenous (IV) beta-lactam antibiotics within the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract to prevent (a) microbiome damage, (b) Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), (c) overgrowth
of pathogenic organisms, (d) the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and (e) acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in
allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients, and (2) SYN-010 which is intended to reduce the impact of methane-producing
organisms in the gut microbiome to treat an underlying cause of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). The Company
is also advancing SYN-020, an oral formulation of the enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) to treat both local GI
and systemic diseases.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by Accounting Principles
Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, comprised of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary
by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the
full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts
of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. The Company believes
that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent
uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances
in future periods.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2019, the Company has a significant accumulated deficit and with the exception of
the three months ended June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2017, the Company has experienced significant losses and incurred negative
cash flows since inception. The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future, with the recognition of
revenue being contingent on successful phase 3 clinical trials and requisite approvals by the FDA. Historically, the Company has
financed its operations primarily through public and private sales of its common stock and a private placement of its preferred
stock, and it expects to continue to seek to obtain required capital in a similar manner. The Company has spent, and expects to
continue to spend, a substantial amount of funds in connection with implementing its business strategy, including planned product
development efforts, clinical trials and research and discovery efforts.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $18.7 million as of September 30, 2019, which includes
the net proceeds of approximately $16.7 million from the sale of securities in October 2018 (the Offering) and net proceeds of
approximately $12.2 million from sales of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) in
“at-the-market” (ATM) equity offerings during 2018. With $17.6 million in cash available in early November 2019, the
Company believes these resources will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least the end of the fourth quarter of 2020.
Management believes its plan, which includes the further development of SYN-020 and additional testing of SYN-004 (ribaxamase)
and SYN-010, will allow the Company to meet its financial obligations, further advance key products, and maintain the Company’s
planned operations for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, while not sacrificing
the strategic direction of the Company. If necessary, the Company may attempt to utilize the ATM or seek to raise additional capital
on the open market, neither of which is guaranteed. Use of the ATM is limited by certain restrictions and management’s plan
does not rely on additional capital from either of these sources. If the Company is not able to obtain additional capital (which
is not assured at this time), the Company’s long term business plan may not be accomplished and the Company may be forced
to cease certain development activities. More specifically, the completion of a Phase 3 clinical trial will require significant
financing or a significant partnership.
Reverse Stock Split
On August 10, 2018, the Company effected
a one for thirty-five reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its authorized, issued and outstanding common
stock. Unless otherwise noted, all references to share amounts in these financial statements reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Every thirty-five shares of issued and
outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change
in the par value per share of Common Stock. All share and per share amounts in the financial
statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split, including
reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value to additional paid-in capital.
The Reverse Stock Split affected all issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock, as well as Common Stock underlying stock options, warrants and convertible instruments
outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of the Reverse Stock Split from approximately 128.5 million to approximately
3.7 million.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases.
The guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities related to long-term leases on the balance sheet and expands
disclosure requirements regarding leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted on a modified retrospective transition approach and provides
for certain practical expedients. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective
transition approach wherein we applied the guidance to each lease that had commenced as of January 1, 2019 (the beginning of effective
date) with a cumulative effect adjustment as of that date. The prior comparative period was not adjusted under this method and
the Company has provided the required disclosures under ASC 840, Leases for the comparative period to which ASC 840 is applied.
The Company has have also elected to adopt the following package of practical expedients:
|
·
|
the Company did not reassess if any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases.
|
|
·
|
the Company did not reassess the initial direct costs for existing leases.
|
|
·
|
the Company did not reassess the classification of any expired or existing leases.
|
Additionally, the Company made ongoing
accounting policy elections whereby it (i) did not recognize right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities for short-term
leases (those with original terms of 12-months or less) and (ii) does not combine lease and non-lease elements of its operating
leases. The determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of a lease, if applicable, is made
at lease commencement.
Upon adoption
of the new guidance on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a ROU asset of approximately $537,000 (net of taxes and existing deferred
rent liability) and recognized a lease liability of approximately $939,000.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement,
defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
|
·
|
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
|
|
·
|
Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices, included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
|
|
·
|
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
|
In many cases, a valuation technique used
to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above. The lowest level of significant
input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s
short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents include money
market accounts of $98,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that are measured using Level 1 inputs.
The Company uses Monte Carlo simulations
to estimate the fair value of its stock warrants. In using this model, the fair value is determined by applying Level 3 inputs
for which there is little or no observable market data, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. The assumptions used
in calculating the estimated fair value of the warrants represent the Company’s best estimates; however, these estimates
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions
are used, the warrant liability and the change in estimated fair value could be materially different.

4. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Incentive Plans
On March 20, 2007, the Company’s
Board of Directors approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”) for the issuance of up to 71,429
shares of common stock to be granted through incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend
equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to officers, other employees, directors
and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. This plan was approved by the stockholders on November 2, 2007. The exercise
price of stock options under the 2007 Stock Plan is determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors and may
be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The total number of shares
of stock with respect to which stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to any one employee of the Company or
a subsidiary during any one-year period under the 2007 plan shall not exceed 7,143. Options become exercisable over various periods
from the date of grant, and generally expire ten years after the grant date. As of September 30, 2019, there were 8,959 options
issued and outstanding under the 2007 Stock Plan.
On November 2, 2010, the Board of Directors
and stockholders adopted the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (“2010 Stock Plan”) for the issuance of up to 85,714 shares
of common stock to be granted through incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend
equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to officers, other employees, directors
and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. On October 22, 2013, the stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to
the Company’s 2010 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock
Plan from 85,714 to 171,429. On May 15, 2015, the stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the 2010 Stock Plan to increase
the number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan from 171,429 to 228,572. On August 25,
2016, the stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the 2010 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of the Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan from 228,572 to 400,000. On September 7, 2017, the stockholders approved
and adopted an amendment to the 2010 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the 2010 Stock Plan from 400,000 to 500,000. On September 24, 2018, the stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the 2010
Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan from 500,000 to
1,000,000. On September 5, 2019, the stockholders approved and adopted an amendment to the 2010 Stock Plan to increase the number
of shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan from 1,000,000 to 4,000,000. The exercise price of
stock options under the 2010 Stock Plan is determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors and may be equal
to or greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Options become exercisable over
various periods from the date of grant, and expire between five and ten years after the grant date. As of September 30, 2019, there
were 794,618 options issued and outstanding under the 2010 Stock Plan.
In the event of an employee’s termination,
the Company will cease to recognize compensation expense for that employee. There is no deferred compensation recorded upon initial
grant date. Instead, the fair value of the stock-based payment is recognized as compensation expense over the stated vesting period.
The Company has applied fair value accounting
for all stock-based payment awards since inception. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. There were no options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The assumptions
used for the awards during the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Expected dividends
—The Company has never declared or paid dividends on the Common Stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
Expected volatility—Volatility
is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected
to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period.
Risk-free interest
rate—The assumed risk-free rate used is a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity that approximates the expected
term of the option.
Expected life of
the option—The period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. Options granted during 2018
have a maximum term of seven years. The Company estimates the expected life of the option based on the weighted average life between
the dates that options become fully vested and the maximum life of options granted.
The Company records stock-based compensation
based upon the stated vesting provisions in the related agreements. The vesting provisions for these agreements have various terms
as follows:
|
·
|
immediate vesting;
|
|
·
|
half vesting immediately and remaining over three years;
|
|
·
|
in full on one-year anniversary date of grant date;

Stock-based compensation expense included
in operating expenses related to stock options issued to employees and consultants for the three months ended September 30, 2019
and 2018 was $90,000 and $475,000 respectively, and $246,000 and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and
2018, respectively.
As of September 30, 2019, total unrecognized
stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $305,000, which is expected to be expensed through June 2021.
The FASB’s guidance for stock-based
payments requires cash flows from excess tax benefits to be classified as a part of cash flows from operating activities. Excess
tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable
to stock compensation costs for such options. The Company did not record any excess tax benefits during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
5. Stock Warrants
On October 15, 2018, the Company closed
its underwritten public offering pursuant to which it received gross proceeds of approximately $18.6 million before deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company and sold an aggregate of (i) 2,520,000 Class A Units
(the “Class A Units”), with each Class A Unit consisting of one share of the Common Stock, and one five-year warrant
to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.38 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the
“Warrants”), with each Class A Unit to be offered to the public at a public offering price of $1.15, and (ii) 15,723
Class B Units (the “Class B Units”, and together with the Class A Units, the “Units”), with each Class
B Unit offered to the public at a public offering price of $1,000 per Class B Unit and consisting of one share of the Company’s
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), with a stated value of $1,000 and convertible
into shares of Common Stock at the stated value divided by a conversion price of $1.15 per share, with all shares of Series B Preferred
Stock convertible into an aggregate of 13,672,173 shares of Common Stock, and issued with an aggregate of 13,672,173 Warrants.
In addition, pursuant to the underwriting agreement that the Company had entered into with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the
“Underwriters”), as representative of the underwriters, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45 day option (the “Over-allotment
Option”) to purchase up to an additional 2,428,825 shares of Common Stock and/or additional Warrants to purchase an additional
2,428,825 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriters partially exercised the Over-allotment Option by electing to purchase from the
Company additional Warrants to purchase 1,807,826 shares of Common Stock.
The Warrants are immediately exercisable
at a price of $1.38 per share of Common Stock (which is 120% of the public offering price of the Class A Units) and expire on October
15, 2023. If, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available
for, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the holder, then the Warrants may only be exercised through a cashless exercise.
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares,
the holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the fair market value of any such fractional
shares. The Company has concluded that the Warrants are required to be equity classified. The Warrants were valued on the date
of grant using Monte Carlo simulations.

On November 18, 2016, the Company completed
a public offering of 714,286 shares of Common Stock in combination with accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,428,571
shares of the Common Stock. The stock and warrants were sold in combination, with two warrants for each share of Common Stock sold,
a Series A warrant and a Series B warrant, each representing the right to purchase one share of Common Stock. The purchase price
for each share of Common Stock and accompanying warrants was $35.00. The shares of Common Stock were immediately separable from
the warrants and were issued separately. The per share exercise price of the Series A warrants is $50.05 and the per share exercise
price of the Series B warrants is $60.20, each subject to adjustment as specified in the warrant agreements. The Series A and Series
B warrants were each exercisable at any time on or after the date of issuance. The Series A warrants are exercisable until the
four-year anniversary of the issuance date. The Series B warrants expired December 31, 2017 and none were exercised prior to expiration.
The warrants include a provision that if the Company were to enter into a certain transaction, as defined in the agreement, the
warrants would be purchased from the holder for cash. Accordingly, the Company recorded the warrants as a liability at their estimated
fair value on the issuance date of $15.7 million and changes in estimated fair value are being recorded as non-cash income or expense
in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations at each subsequent period. At September 30, 2019, the fair
value of the warrant liability was $100. At September 30, 2018, the fair value of the warrant liability was $19,000, which resulted
in non-cash income of $605,000 and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The warrants
were valued on the date of grant and on each remeasurement period using Monte Carlo simulations.

On October 10, 2014, the Company raised
net proceeds of $19.1 million through the sale of 14,059,616 units at a price of $1.47 per unit to certain institutional investors
in a registered direct offering. Each unit consisted of one share of the Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 0.50 shares of
Common Stock. The warrants, exercisable for an aggregate of 200,852 shares of Common Stock, have an exercise price of $61.25 per
share and a life of five years. The warrants vested immediately and expired on October 10, 2019.
The warrants issued in conjunction with the registered direct offering in October 2014 included a provision
that if the Company were to enter into a certain transaction, as defined in the agreement, the warrants would be purchased from
the holder at a premium. Accordingly, the Company recorded the warrants as a liability at their estimated fair value on the issuance
date, which was $7.4 million, and changes in estimated fair value are being recorded as non-cash income or expense in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations at each subsequent period. At September 30, 2019, the fair value of the warrant liability
was zero. At September 30, 2018, the fair value of the warrant liability was $200, which resulted in non-cash income of $21,000
and $415,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The warrants were valued on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes valuation model which approximates the value derived using Monte Carlo simulations. The assumptions used

On December 26, 2017, the Company
entered into a consulting agreement for advisory services for a period of six months. As compensation for such services, the consultant
was paid an upfront payment, is paid a monthly fee, and on January 24, 2018 was issued a warrant exercisable for 714 shares of
the Common Stock on the date of issuance. The warrant is equity classified and the fair value of the warrant approximated $9,000
on the date of grant and was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This entire expense was recorded in the quarter
ended March 31, 2018.

6. Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Included in net loss is the Series A preferred dividend
from preferred shares issuance of $63,000 and $185,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $61,000
and $181,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Net loss for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2019 also includes the Series B deemed dividend of $71,000 and $585,000. The deemed dividend relates to the discount
provided to preferred stockholders upon conversion of their preferred stock to common shares and is subtracted from net loss (see
Note 8). Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
including the effect of common share equivalents. Diluted net loss per share assumes the issuance of potentially dilutive common
shares outstanding for the period and adjusts for any changes in income and the repurchase of common shares that would have occurred
from the assumed issuance, unless such effect is anti-dilutive. The number of options and warrants for the purchase of Common Stock
that were excluded from the computations of net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were
803,577 and 18,915,851, respectively, and for the three and nine months and ended September 30, 2018 were 347,765 and 915,852,
respectively.
The following tables set forth the computation
of diluted net loss per weighted average number of shares outstanding attributable to Synthetic Biologics, Inc. and Subsidiaries
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands except share and per share amounts):

7. Non-controlling Interest
The Company’s non-controlling interest
is accounted for under ASC 810, Consolidation, and represents the minority shareholder’s ownership interest related
to the Company’s subsidiary, Synthetic Biomics, Inc. (“SYN Biomics”). In accordance with ASC 810, the Company
reports its non-controlling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reports
both net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest and net loss attributable to the Company’s common stockholders
on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On September 5, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement (the ‘Stock
Purchase Agreement”) with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) for an investigator-sponsored Phase 2b clinical study of SYN-010
to be co-funded by the Company and CSMC (the “Study”). The Study will provide further evaluation of the efficacy and
safety of SYN-010, the Company’s modified-release reformulation of lovastatin lactone, which is exclusively licensed to the
Company by CSMC. SYN-010 is designed to reduce methane production by certain microorganisms (M. smithii) in the gut to treat
an underlying cause of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
In consideration of the support provided by CSMC for the Study, the Company will pay $441,000 to support
the Study and the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with CSMC pursuant to which the Company, upon the approval of
the Study protocol by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) : (i) issued to CSMC 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company; and
(ii) transferred to CSMC an additional 2,420,000 shares of common stock of its subsidiary SYN Biomics, Inc. (“Synbiomics”)
owned by the Company, such that after such issuance CSMC owns an aggregate of 7,480,000 shares of common stock of SYN Biomics,
representing 17% of the issued and outstanding shares of SYN Biomics’ common stock. The services rendered are recorded
to research and development expense in proportion with the progress of the study and are based overall on the fair value of the
shares ($285,000) as determined at the date of IRB approval. During 2019, research and development expense recorded related to
this transaction approximated $108,000 and $318,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019, respectively.
The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides
CSMC with a right, commencing on the six month anniversary of issuance of the stock under certain circumstances in the event that
the shares of stock of SYN Biomics are not then freely tradeable, and subject to NYSE American, LLC approval, to exchange its SYN
Biomics shares for unregistered shares of the Common Stock, with the rate of exchange based upon the relative contribution of the
valuation of SYN Biomics to the public market valuation of the Company at the time of each exchange. The Stock Purchase Agreement
also provides for tag-along rights in the event of the sale by the Company of its shares of SYN Biomics.
8. Common and Preferred Stock
Series B Preferred Stock
On October 15, 2018, the Company
closed its underwritten public offering pursuant to which it received gross proceeds of approximately $18.6 million before
deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company and sold an aggregate of (i)
2,520,000 Class A Units , with each Class A Unit offered to the public at a public offering price of $1.15 per Class A Unit,
and (ii) 15,723 Class B Units, with each Class B Unit offered to the public at a public offering price of $1,000 per Class B
Unit and consisting of one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 and
convertible into shares of Common Stock at the stated value divided by a conversion price of $1.15 per share, with all shares
of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 13,672,173 shares of Common Stock, and issued with an aggregate
of 13,672,173 October 2018 Warrants. Since the above units are equity instruments, the proceeds were allocated on a relative
fair value basis which created the Series B Preferred Stock discount.
In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement that the Company entered into with the Underwriters on October 10, 2018, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45 day
option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 2,428,825 shares of Common Stock and/or additional
warrants to purchase an additional 2,428,825 shares of Common Stock. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock.
The Underwriters partially exercised the Over-allotment Option by electing to purchase from the Company additional Warrants to
purchase 1,807,826 shares of Common Stock.
The Units were offered by the Company pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-227400), as amended, filed with the SEC, which was declared effective
by the SEC on October 10, 2018.
The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise price of the October 2018 Warrants
is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations,
reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Common Stock. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject
to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive issuances. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, 185 and 1,523
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, have been converted resulting in the recognition of $71,000 and $585,000 of unamortized
discount from the conversion, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, 8,085 shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been converted
resulting in the recognition of $3.1 million of unamortized discount. This is recorded as a deemed dividend in accumulated deficit.
The October 2018 Warrants are immediately
exercisable at a price of $1.38 per share of Common Stock (which is 120% of the public offering price of the Class A Units) and
will expire on October 15, 2023. If, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current
prospectus available for, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the holder, then the October 2018 Warrants may only be
exercised through a cashless exercise. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of any
October 2018 Warrants. In lieu of fractional shares, the holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied
by the fair market value of any such fractional shares.
The Company may not effect, and the holder
will not be entitled to, exercise any Warrants or conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, which, upon giving effect to such
exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates)
to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by the holder
(together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the combined voting power of all of
the Company’s securities then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise or conversion, as such percentage
ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the October 2018 Warrants or Series B Preferred Stock. However, any holder
may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice
from the holder to the Company. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will participate, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock
basis, in any dividends to the holders of Common Stock. Upon a defined Fundamental Transaction, the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock are entitled to the same consideration as are holders of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior to existing
Series A preferred stock but on parity with Common Stock. Liquidation preference is equal to an amount pari passu with the Common
Stock on an as converted basis (i.e., there is no preference to Common Stock)
Since the effective conversion price of
the Series B Preferred Stock is less than the fair value of the underlying Common Stock at the date of issuance, there is a beneficial
conversion feature (“BCF”) at the issuance date. Because the Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity or redemption
date and is immediately convertible at the option of the holder, the discount created by the BCF is immediately charged to accumulated
deficit as a “deemed dividend” and impacts earnings per share. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company
recorded a discount of $9.1 million and immediately amortized the discount to record the deemed dividend.
Series A Preferred Stock
On September 11, 2017, the Company entered
into a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an investor (the “Investor”), pursuant
to which the Company offered and sold in a private placement 120,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $12 million, or $100 per share.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior
to the shares of the Common Stock, and any other class or series of stock issued by the Company with respect to dividend rights,
redemption rights and rights on the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the affairs of the Company. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 2.0% per
annum, payable quarterly in arrears, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $18.90
per share, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments.
On or at any time after (i) the VWAP (as
defined in the Certificate of Designation) for at least 20 trading days in any 30 trading day period is greater than $70.00, subject
to adjustment in the case of stock split, stock dividends or the like the Company has the right, after providing notice not less
than 6 months prior to the redemption date, to redeem, in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis from all holders thereof based
on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held, the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, for cash, at a redemption
price per share of Series A Preferred Stock of $7,875, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) the
five year anniversary of the issuance date, the Company has the right to redeem, in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis from
all holders thereof based on the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then held, the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, for cash, at a redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).
The Series A Preferred Stock is classified
as temporary equity due to the shares being (i) redeemable based on contingent events outside of the Company’s control, and
(ii) convertible immediately and from time to time. Since the effective conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock was less
than the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of issuance, there is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”)
at the issuance date. Because the Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity or redemption date and is immediately convertible
at the option of the holder, the discount created by the BCF is immediately charged to retained earnings as a “deemed dividend”
and impacts earnings per share. Because the Series A Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable, the discount arising from issuance
costs was allocated to temporary equity and will not be accreted until such time that redemption becomes probable. The stated dividend
rate of 2% per annum is cumulative and the Company accrues the dividend on a quarterly basis (in effect accreting the dividend
regardless of declaration because the dividend is cumulative). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company
accrued dividends of $63,000 and $185,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company
accrued dividends of $62,000 and $182,000, respectively. Once the dividend is declared, the Company will reclassify the declared
amount from temporary equity to a dividends payable liability. When the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock becomes probable,
the temporary equity will be accreted to redemption value as a deemed dividend.

9. Related Party Transactions
On September 5, 2018, the Company entered
into an agreement with CSMC for an investigator-sponsored Phase 2b clinical study of SYN-010 to be co-funded by the Company and
CSMC (the “Study”). The Study will provide further evaluation of the efficacy and safety of SYN-010, the Company’s
modified-release reformulation of lovastatin lactone, which is exclusively licensed to the Company by CSMC. SYN-010 is designed
to reduce methane production by certain microorganisms (M. smithii) in the gut to treat an underlying cause of irritable
bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
In consideration of the support provided
by CSMC for the Study, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with CSMC pursuant to which the Company: (i) issued
to CSMC 50,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company; and (ii) transferred to CSMC an additional 2,420,000 shares of common stock
of its subsidiary Synthetic Biomics, Inc. (“SYN Biomics”) owned by the Company, such that after such issuance CSMC
owns an aggregate of 7,480,000 shares of common stock of SYN Biomics, representing seventeen percent (17%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of SYN Biomics’ common stock.
The Stock Purchase Agreement also provides
CSMC with a right, commencing on the six month anniversary of issuance of the stock under certain circumstances in the event that
the shares of stock of SYN Biomics are not then freely tradeable, and subject to NYSE American, LLC approval, to exchange its SYN
Biomics shares for unregistered shares of the Common Stock, with the rate of exchange based upon the relative contribution of the
valuation of SYN Biomics to the public market valuation of the Company at the time of each exchange. The Stock Purchase Agreement
also provides for tag-along rights in the event of the sale by the Company of its shares of SYN Biomics. As of September 30, 2019,
CSMC has not exercised its right to exchange its SYN Biomics shares for the Common Stock.
In December 2013, through the Company’s
subsidiary, Synthetic Biomics, Inc., the Company entered into a worldwide exclusive license agreement with CSMC and acquired the
rights to develop products for therapeutic and prophylactic treatments of acute and chronic diseases, including the development
of SYN-010 to target IBS-C. The Company licensed from CSMC a portfolio of intellectual property comprised of several U.S. and foreign
patents and pending patent applications for various fields of use, including IBS-C, obesity and diabetes. An investigational team
led by Mark Pimentel, M.D. at CSMC discovered that these products may reduce the production of methane gas by certain GI microorganisms.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not owe and did not pay CSMC for milestone
payments related this license agreement.
10. Commitments
and Contingencies
Leases
All of the Company’s existing leases
as of September 30, 2019 are classified as operating leases. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has one material operating lease
for facilities with a remaining term expiring in 2022. The existing lease has fair value renewal options, none of which are considered
certain of being exercised or included in the minimum lease term. The discount rate used in the calculation of the lease liability
was 9.9%. The rates implicit within the Company's leases are generally not determinable, therefore, the Company's incremental borrowing
rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate
requires judgment. Because the Company currently has no outstanding debt, the incremental borrowing rate for each lease is primarily
based on publicly-available information for companies within the same industry and with similar credit profiles. The rate is then
adjusted for the impact of collateralization, the lease term and other specific terms included in the Company’s lease arrangements.
The incremental borrowing rate is determined at lease commencement, or as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases in existence
upon adoption of ASC 842. The incremental borrowing rate is subsequently reassessed upon a modification to the lease arrangement.
ROU assets are subsequently assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for long-lived assets.
Operating lease costs are presented as part of the general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 approximated $50,000 and $151,000, respectively. During
the same period, operating cash flows used for operating leases approximated $75,000 and $224,000, respectively. During 2019, there
were no ROU assets exchanged for operating lease obligations. The initial non-cash addition of ROU assets due to adoption of ASC
842 was $538,000.

as of September 30, 2019 is as follows (amounts in thousands of dollars):
