1.   Nature of Business

iBio, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “iBio”, “iBio, Inc” or the “Company”) is a developer of next-generation biopharmaceuticals and the pioneer of the sustainable FastPharming® Manufacturing System. The Company is applying its technologies to research and develop novel product candidates to treat or prevent fibrotic diseases, cancers, and infectious diseases. The Company is using its FastPharming Manufacturing System (“FastPharming” or the “FastPharming System”) and GlycaneeringSM Services to help rapidly and cost effectively build a portfolio of biologic drug candidates, as well as to create proteins for others by contract or via the Company’s catalog.

The FastPharming System is the Company’s proprietary approach to plant-made pharmaceutical and recombinant protein production. It uses hydroponically grown, transiently-transfected plants, (typically Nicotiana benthamiana, a relative of the tobacco plant), novel expression vectors, a large-scale transient transfection method, and other technologies that can be used to produce complex therapeutic proteins emerging from our own, our clients’ and our potential clients’ pipelines.  The Company believes the FastPharming System enables biologics production that is potentially faster, more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly than other approaches.

The Company operates in two categories: (i) Biopharmaceuticals: its biologics development and licensing segment which is focused on drug development in two primary areas: Therapeutics (currently Fibrosis and Oncology) and Vaccines (for humans and animals), and (ii) Bioprocessing: focused on two business lines: Services and Research & Bioprocess Products (“RBP”).

Biopharmaceuticals:

The Company is currently focused on developing candidates in the following disease areas:

Fibrotic Diseases

Fibrosis is a pathological disorder in which connective tissue replaces normal parenchymal tissue to the extent that it goes unchecked, leading to considerable tissue remodeling and the formation of permanent scar tissue. Fibrosis can occur in many tissues within the body, including the lungs (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”) and skin (e.g., systemic scleroderma).  The Company’s endostatin E4 molecule, IBIO-100, is being evaluated for fibrotic diseases.

Oncology

iBio’s oncology efforts seek to identify therapeutics to aid in the treatment of cancer. Although there are a large number of cancer treatments available, there are few cures, and significant unmet medical need still exists for most types of cancer for improved treatments. Cancer remains the second most frequent cause of death worldwide. New research in oncology, especially that related to means to boost or support the patient’s immune system, is leading to a number of new treatments and new research programs with the potential to further improve cancer therapies. The Company’s IL-2 sparing anti-CD25 antibody, IBIO-101, is being evaluated in the treatment of solid tumors.  Further, the Company’s endostatin E4 molecule, IBIO-100, is being evaluated in solid tumors.  In addition, the Company has four additional oncology drug candidates in early development.  The targets for these candidates have not been disclosed.

iBio’s Glycaneering Technology enables the development of afucosylated recombinant proteins. Greater antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (“ADCC”) is often associated with such afucosylated proteins.  Thus, iBio’s Glycaneering Services can be used by the Company or its clients to potentially develop more potent cancer therapies.

Infectious Disease

Human Health: SARS-CoV-2

Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (“COVID”). It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and has resulted in an ongoing pandemic. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath or breathing difficulties, and loss of smell and taste. Some people develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), possibly precipitated by cytokine dysregulation, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots. The Company’s nucleocapsid, antigen-based, intramuscularly delivered vaccine candidate, IBIO-202. Following review of its investigational new drug (“IND”) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in January, the Company is moving forward with IND-enabling challenge studies for IBIO-202.

Classical swine fever (“CSF”) is a contagious, often fatal disease affecting both feral and domesticated pigs. Outbreaks in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America have not only adversely impacted animal health and food security but have also had severe socioeconomic impacts on both the pig industry worldwide and small-scale pig farming. Currently available vaccines can be efficient at triggering rapid animal immune response and protecting swine populations when combined with culling of infected pigs, but do not allow the differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (“DIVA”), nor are they approved for use in the United States. The development of fully approved, DIVA-compatible, and efficacious vaccines represents an opportunity to prevent the economic impacts of a CSF outbreak including supply disruptions, export restrictions and reduced food security. The Company’s E2 protein subunit candidate, IBIO-400, is being evaluated as a vaccine to prevent CSF.

2.   Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company and include all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated June 30, 2021, was derived.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to November 1, 2021, all subsidiaries were wholly-owned.  See Note 5 below. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated as part of the consolidation.

Liquidity

In the past, the history of significant losses, the negative cash flow from operations, the limited cash resources on hand and the dependence by the Company on its ability – about which there was uncertainty – to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on management projections and on the total cash and cash equivalents plus investments in debt securities of approximately $48.6 million excluding restricted cash of $5.9 million as of March 31, 2022, management believes the Company has adequate cash to support the Company’s activities through at least September 30, 2023.

3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include liquidity assertions, the discount rate utilized in lease accounting models, the valuation of intellectual property, legal and contractual contingencies and share-based compensation. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of allowances for uncollectible accounts. We provide for allowances for uncollectible receivables based on our estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and other factors considered appropriate. Our policy is to write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. At March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the Company determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not needed.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for its revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this standard, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised services or goods in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts.

The Company’s contract revenue consists primarily of amounts earned under contracts with third-party customers and reimbursed expenses under such contracts. The Company analyzes its agreements to determine whether the elements can be separated and accounted for individually or as a single unit of accounting. Allocation of revenue to individual elements that qualify for separate accounting is

11

Table of Contents

based on the separate selling prices determined for each component, and total contract consideration is then allocated pro rata across the components of the arrangement. If separate selling prices are not available, the Company will use its best estimate of such selling prices, consistent with the overall pricing strategy and after consideration of relevant market factors.

In general, the Company applies the following steps when recognizing revenue from contracts with customers: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The nature of the Company’s contracts with customers generally falls within the three key elements of the Company’s business plan: CDMO Facility Activities; Product Candidate Pipeline, and Facility Design and Build-out /Technology Transfer services.

Recognition of revenue is driven by satisfaction of the performance obligations using one of two methods: revenue is either recognized over time or at a point in time. Contracts containing multiple performance obligations classify those performance obligations into separate units of accounting either as standalone or combined units of accounting. For those performance obligations treated as a standalone unit of accounting, revenue is generally recognized based on the method appropriate for each standalone unit. For those performance obligations treated as a combined unit of accounting, revenue is generally recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied, which generally occurs when control of the goods or services have been transferred to the customer or client or once the client or customer is able to direct the use of those goods and/or services as well as obtaining substantially all of its benefits. As such, revenue for a combined unit of accounting is generally recognized based on the method appropriate for the last delivered item but due to the specific nature of certain project and contract items, management may determine an alternative revenue recognition method as appropriate, such as a contract whereby one deliverable in the arrangement clearly comprises the overwhelming majority of the value of the overall combined unit of accounting. Under this circumstance, management may determine revenue recognition for the combined unit of accounting based on the revenue recognition guidance otherwise applicable to the predominant deliverable.

If a loss on a contract is anticipated, such loss is recognized in its entirety when the loss becomes evident. When the current estimates of the amount of consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer indicates a loss will be incurred, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made. At March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, the Company had no contract loss provisions.

The Company generates (or may generate in the future) contract revenue under the following types of contracts:

Fixed-Fee

Under a fixed-fee contract, the Company charges a fixed agreed upon amount for a deliverable. Fixed-fee contracts have fixed deliverables upon completion of the project. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue for fixed-fee contracts after projects are completed, delivery is made and title transfers to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue can be recognized either 1) over time or 2) at a point in time.  All revenue was recognized at a point in time for all periods presented.

Time and Materials

Under a time and materials contract, the Company charges customers an hourly rate plus reimbursement for other project specific costs. The Company recognizes revenue for time and material contracts based on the number of hours devoted to the project multiplied by the customer’s billing rate plus other project specific costs incurred.

Contract Assets

A contract asset is an entity’s right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer if that right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Generally, an entity will recognize a contract asset when it has fulfilled a contract obligation but must perform other obligations before being entitled to payment.

Contract assets consist primarily of the cost of project contract work performed by third parties for which the Company expects to recognize any related revenue at a later date, upon satisfaction of the contract obligations. At both March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, contract assets were $0.

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer at the earlier of (1) when the customer prepays consideration or (2) the time that the customer’s consideration is due for goods and services the entity will yet provide. Generally, an entity will recognize a contract liability when it receives a prepayment.

12

Table of Contents

Contract liabilities consist primarily of consideration received, usually in the form of payment, on project work to be performed whereby the Company expects to recognize any related revenue at a later date, upon satisfaction of the contract obligations. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, contract liabilities were $8,000 and $423,000 respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $52,000 and $178,000 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of June 30, 2021. The Company recognized revenue of $388,000 and $887,000 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of June 30, 2020.  

Leases

The Company accounts for leases under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, "Leases" ("ASC 842"). The standard established a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either an operating or finance lease. The adoption of ASC 842 had a significant effect on the Company’s balance sheet, resulting in an increase in non-current assets and both current and non-current liabilities.

As the Company elected to adopt ASC 842 at the beginning of the period of adoption (July 1, 2019), the Company recorded the ROU and finance lease obligation as follows:

1.ROU asset measured at the carrying amount of the leased assets under Topic 840.
2.Finance lease liability measured at the carrying amount of the capital lease obligation under Topic 840 at the beginning of the period of adoption.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed it: (1) to carry forward the historical lease classification; (2) not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; and (3) not to reassess the treatment of initial direct costs for existing leases.

In accordance with ASC 842, at the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present and the classification of the lease including whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as ROU assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less under practical expedient in paragraph ASC 842-20-25-2. For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The lease liabilities and the corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The implicit rate within the Company’s existing finance (capital) lease was determinable and, therefore, used at the adoption date of ASC 842 to determine the present value of lease payments under the finance lease. The implicit rate within the Company’s operating lease was not determinable and, therefore, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company will determine the incremental borrowing rate for each new lease using its estimated borrowing rate.

An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 consisted of money market accounts. Restricted cash consists of collateral held for letters of credit obtained related to the term note payable for the purchase of the 130,000 square foot cGMP manufacturing facility in Bryan, Texas located at 8800 HSC Parkway, Bryan, Texas 77807 (the “Facility”) (see Note 5) and the San Diego operating lease (see Note 14).  Restricted cash was $5,941,000 and $0 at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

The following table summarizes the components of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Investments in Debt Securities

Debt investments are classified as available-for-sale. Changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information. Discounts and/or premiums paid when the debt securities are acquired are amortized to interest income over the terms of the debt securities.

Investment in Equity Security

The Company applies the cost method for its investment in equity securities.   Under the cost method, the investment is recorded at cost, with gains and losses recognized as of the sale date, and income recorded when received. The Company reviews the carrying value of its equity security for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount of the asset. There were no impairments during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on the first-in, first-out basis.  Inventory consists of the following (table in thousands):

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to 39 years.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets at either their historical cost or allocated purchase price at asset acquisition and records amortization utilizing the straight-line method based upon their estimated useful lives. Patents are amortized over a period of 10 years and other intellectual property is amortized over a period from 16 to 23 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Evaluating for impairment requires judgment, and recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows of the assets over the remaining useful life to the carrying amount. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There were no impairment charges for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Share-based Compensation

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payment transactions at fair value. Compensation cost, measured by the fair value of the equity instruments issued, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is recognized in the financial statements as the respective awards are earned over the performance or service period. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates.

The impact that share-based payment awards will have on the Company’s results of operations is a function of the number of shares awarded, the trading price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant or modification, the vesting schedule and forfeitures. Furthermore, the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model employs weighted-average assumptions for expected volatility of the Company’s stock, expected term until exercise of the options, the risk-free interest rate, and dividends, if any, to determine fair value.

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”’); the expected term until exercise represents the weighted-average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. The Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future, so the dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, the Company estimates forfeitures at each reporting period, rather than electing to record the impact of such forfeitures as they occur. See Note 17 - Share-Based Compensation for additional information.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains principally all cash balances in two financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the insured amounts. The exposure to the Company is solely dependent upon daily balances and the strength of the financial institutions. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. At March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021, amounts in excess of insured limits were approximately $19,233,000 and $27,013,000, respectively.

Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated 100% of its revenue from three customers with one customer accounting for approximately 93% of revenue related to a licensing agreement (see Note 18). During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company generated 100% of revenue from three customers with one customer accounting for approximately 92% of revenue.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated 100% of its revenue from eight customers with one customer accounting for approximately 78% of revenue related to a licensing agreement (see Note 18). During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company generated 100% of its revenue from four customers accounting for approximately 47%, 27%, 15% and 11% of revenue.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which amended the effective date of the various topics. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022 (quarter ending September 30, 2023, for the Company). Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company will evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in a future period closer to the date of adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”) to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 (quarter ending September 30, 2021, for the Company), with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. Most amendments within ASU 2019-12 are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while

15

Table of Contents

certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Most of the newer standards issued represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries which have no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

4.   Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and term note payable in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets approximated their fair values as of  March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021 due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the convertible promissory note receivable, the term note payable and finance lease obligation approximated fair value as of March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021 as the interest rates related to the financial instruments approximated market value.

The Company accounts for its investments in debt securities at fair value. The following provides a description of the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value under the standard, the types of investments that fall under each category, and the valuation methodologies used to measure these investments at fair value.

Level 1 – Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  All debt securities were valued using Level 2 inputs.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

5. Significant Transactions

Affiliates of Eastern Capital Limited

On November 1, 2021, the Company and its subsidiary, iBio CDMO LLC (“iBio CDMO”, and collectively with the Company, the “Purchaser”) entered into a series of agreements (the “Transaction”) with College Station Investors LLC (“College Station”), and Bryan Capital Investors LLC (“Bryan Capital” and, collectively with College Station, “Seller”), each affiliates of Eastern Capital Limited (“Eastern,” a former significant stockholder of the Company) described in more detail below whereby in exchange for a certain cash payment and a warrant the Company:

(i)acquired both the Facility where iBio CDMO at that time and currently conducts business and also the rights as the tenant in the Facility’s ground lease;
(ii)acquired all of the equity owned by one of the affiliates of Eastern in the Company and iBio CDMO; and
(iii)otherwise terminated all agreements between the Company and the affiliates of Eastern.

The Facility is a life sciences building located on land owned by the Board of Regents of the Texas A&M University System (“Texas A&M”) and is designed and equipped for the manufacture of plant-made biopharmaceuticals. iBio CDMO had held a sublease for the Facility through 2050, subject to extension until 2060 (the “Sublease”).

The Purchase and Sale Agreement

On November 1, 2021, the Purchaser entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with the Seller pursuant to which: (i) the Seller sold to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest as the tenant in the Ground Lease Agreement (the “Ground Lease Agreement”) that it entered into with Texas A&M (the “Landlord’’) related to the property at which the Facility is located together with all improvements pertaining thereto (the “Property”), which previously had been the subject of the Sublease; (ii) the Seller sold to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest to any tangible personal property owned by Seller and located on the Property including the Facility; (iii) the Seller sold to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest to all licensed, permits and authorization for use of the Property; and (iv) College Station and iBio CDMO terminated the Sublease. The total purchase price for the Property, the

16

Table of Contents

termination of the Sublease and other agreements among the parties, and the equity described below is $28,750,000, which was paid $28,000,000 in cash and by the issuance to Seller of warrants (the “Warrant”) described below. As part of the transaction, iBio CDMO became the tenant under the Ground Lease Agreement for the Property until 2060 upon exercise of available extensions. The base rent payable under the Ground Lease Agreement, which was $151,450 for the prior year, is 6.5% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Ground Lease Agreement) of the Property. The Ground Lease Agreement includes various covenants, indemnities, defaults, termination rights, and other provisions customary for lease transactions of this nature.

The Equity Purchase Agreement

The Company also entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Bryan Capital on November 1, 2021 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired for $50,000 cash, plus the Warrant, the one (1) share of iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock and the 0.01% interest in iBio CDMO owned by Bryan Capital. iBio CDMO is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Credit Agreement

In connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement, iBio CDMO entered into a Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, with Woodforest National Bank (“Woodforest") (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which Woodforest provided iBio CDMO a $22,375,000 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) to purchase the Facility, which Term Loan is evidenced by a Term Note (the “Term Note”). The Term Loan was advanced in full on the closing date. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.25%, with higher interest rates upon an event of default, which interest is payable monthly beginning November 5, 2021. Principal on the Term Loan is payable on November 1, 2023, subject to early termination upon events of default. The Term Loan provides that it may be prepaid by iBio CDMO at any time and provides for mandatory prepayment upon certain circumstances.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions, thresholds, notice requirements and grace periods), including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal or interest, failure to perform or observe covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy-related events or proceedings, final monetary judgments or orders and certain change of control events. The covenants include a prohibition on the incurrence of Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) except permitted Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Liens (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and termination of the Ground Lease Agreement. In addition, the Company must maintain unrestricted cash of no less than $10,000,000.

The Company opened an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of approximately $5,469,000 in favor of Woodforest. The letter of credit expires on October 29, 2022, and renews annually as required.

The proceeds of the Term Loan were used (a) to fund a portion of the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement, and (b) to pay closing costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. The term loan is secured by (a) a leasehold deed of trust on the Facility, (b) a letter of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, and (c) a first lien on all assets of iBio CDMO including the Facility.

At March 31, 2022, the Term Loan of $22,375,000 is presented net of the Company’s approximate $255,000 of costs incurred to attain the debt. Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $182,000 and $305,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred finance costs amounted to $67,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and is included in interest expense.

Security and Pledge Agreements, Guaranties and Deed of Trust

iBio CDMO also entered into a Security Agreement on November 1, 2021 with Woodforest (the “Security Agreement”) providing Woodforest a security interest in the following assets of iBio CDMO (subject to certain exclusions): all personal and fixture property of every kind and nature, including, without limitation, all goods (including, but not limited to, all equipment and any accessions thereto), all inventory, instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), money, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, contracts, contract rights, other rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, software, fixtures, vehicles and rolling stock (whether or not subject to a certificate of title statute), leasehold improvements, general intangibles (including all payment intangibles), and all of iBio CDMO’s company and other business books, reports, memoranda, customer lists, credit files, data compilations, and computer software, in any form, including, without limitation, whether on tape, disk, card, strip, cartridge, or any other form, pertaining to any and all of the foregoing property, and all products and proceeds of the foregoing.

Table of Contents

The Company also entered into a Guaranty for the benefit of Woodforest (the “Guaranty”) pursuant to which it guaranteed all of the obligations of iBio CDMO to Woodforest.

In addition, iBio CDMO entered into a Leasehold Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and UCC Financing Statement for Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) with the trustee named therein and Woodforest as beneficiary, securing all of iBio CDMO’s obligations to Woodforest by a senior priority security interest in the Property.

The Company and iBio CDMO also entered into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement in favor of Woodforest (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”).

The Warrant

As part of the consideration for the purchase and sale of the rights set forth above, the Company issued to Bryan Capital a Warrant to purchase 1,289,581 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.33 per share. The Warrant expires October 10, 2026, is exercisable immediately, provides for a cashless exercise at any time and automatic cashless exercise on the expiration date if on such date the exercise price of the Warrant exceeds its fair market value as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and adjustments in the case of stock dividends and stock splits.

Collaboration and License Agreement

The Company entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement (the “RTX-003 License Agreement”) with RubrYc to further develop RubrYc’s immune-oncology antibodies in its RTX-003 campaign.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is solely responsible for worldwide research and development activities for development of the RTX-003 antibodies for use in pharmaceutical products in all fieldsContingent upon receipt by RubrYc of funding of its Series A-2 preferred stock offering (see below), during the term of the RTX-003 License Agreement, RubrYc granted the Company an exclusive worldwide sublicensable royalty-bearing license under the patents controlled by RubrYc that cover the RTX-003 antibodies. The commercial license exclusively permits the Company to research, develop, make, have made, manufacture, use, distribute, sell, offer for sale, import, and export antibodies in RubrYc’s RTX-003. Under the terms and conditions of the RTX-003 License Agreement, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize RTX-003 antibodies. If the Company fails to achieve certain timing milestones for starting GMP manufacturing and dosing human patients under an IND, it could be required to make a payment to RubrYc on the date the milestone is missed and on each anniversary of such date until the milestone is achieved, provided that the milestone was missed due to its failure to exercise commercially reasonable efforts.

 

iBio Development Milestones are set forth below.

·

Successful 1st run GMP manufacture first licensed product

·

1st patient dosed under a licensed product

Under the terms of the RTX-003 License Agreement, RubrYc is eligible to receive from the Company up to an aggregate of $15 million in clinical development and regulatory milestone payments for RTX-003 upon achievement of the following four clinical milestones: 

·

5th patient dosed in a Phase I clinical study;

·

5th patient dosed in a Phase II clinical study;

·

4th patient dosed in a Phase III clinical study (payable in cash or our stock, at our discretion) and

·

If either the Company or RubrYc materially breaches the RTX-003 License Agreement and does not cure such breach within 60 days (or 30 days in the event of non-payment), the non-breaching party may terminate the RTX-003 License Agreement in its entirety. Either party may also terminate the RTX-003 License Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other party files for bankruptcy, is dissolved or has a receiver appointed for substantially all of its property. RubrYc may terminate the RTX-003 License Agreement if the Company or its sublicensees challenges the validity or enforceability of any of RubrYc’s Licensed Patents subject to certain exceptions. The Company may terminate the RTX-003 License Agreement in its entirety for any or no reason upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to RubrYc. In addition, if RubrYc is unable to complete a financing with proceeds of a certain agreed-upon amount by a set time defined in the RTX-003 License Agreement, the Company may terminate the RTX-003 License Agreement upon written notice to RubrYc within thirty (30) days of the end of such period. Effective upon such termination, among other things, RubrYc shall assign to us exclusive ownership of the RTX-003, including all relevant intellectual property rights.

Collaboration, Option and License Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement with RubrYc to collaborate for up to five years to discover and develop novel antibody therapeutics using RubrYc’s artificial intelligence discovery platform. Antibody targets for the collaboration may be agreed upon pursuant to written collaboration plans approved by a joint steering committee comprised of two representatives of each party. In addition, RubrYc has granted the Company an exclusive option to obtain a worldwide sublicensable commercial license with respect to each of the lead product candidates resulting from such collaboration programs (the “Selected Compounds”). The Company has agreed to pay RubrYc for each Selected Compound as it achieves various milestones in addition to royalties if the Selected Compounds are commercialized. Under the terms and conditions of the Collaboration Agreement, in the event the option is exercised by the Company, it has various diligence obligations including that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) develop Selected Compounds for use in pharmaceutical products (the “Collaboration Products”); and (ii) commercialize the Collaboration Products. The Company is also required to meet a series of development milestones for each Collaboration Product. Failure to achieve the milestones will result in a payment to RubrYc on the date the milestone is missed and on each anniversary of such date until the milestone is achieved, provided that the milestone was missed due to its failure to exercise commercially reasonable efforts.

Equity Security – at cost

As discussed above, the Company acquired Series A-2 Preferred shares of RubrYc valued at $1,760,000.  The Company classified the investment as noncurrent as it is management's intent not to sell the investment in the near term.

8.   Finance Lease ROU Assets

As discussed above, the Company adopted ASC 842 effective July 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for all leases entered into before the effective date.

From January 13, 2016, until November 1, 2021, iBio CDMO leased its facility (the “Facility”) in Bryan, Texas as well as certain equipment from College Station under a sublease (the "Sublease"). The Sublease was terminated on November 1, 2021, when iBio CDMO acquired the Facility and became the tenant under the ground lease for the property upon which the Facility is located.  

 

The economic substance of the Sublease was that the Company is financing the acquisition of the Facility and equipment. As the Sublease involved real estate and equipment, the Company separated the equipment component and accounted for the Facility and equipment as if each were leased separately.

In addition, the Company also leases a mobile office trailer.

See Note 13 – Finance Lease Obligation for more details of the terms of the leases.

11.   Intangible Assets

The Company has two categories of intangible assets – intellectual property and patents. Intellectual property consists of all technology, know-how, data, and protocols for producing targeted proteins in plants and related to any products and product formulations for pharmaceutical uses and for other applications. Intellectual property includes, but is not limited to, certain technology for the development and manufacture of novel vaccines and therapeutics for humans and certain veterinary applications acquired in December 2003 from Fraunhofer USA Inc., acting through its Center for Molecular Biotechnology (“Fraunhofer”), pursuant to a Technology Transfer Agreement, as amended (the “TTA”). The Company designates such technology further developed and acquired from Fraunhofer as iBioLaunch(TM) or LicKM(TM) or FastPharming(R) Technology. The value on the Company’s books attributed to patents owned or controlled by the Company is based only on payments for services and fees related to the protection of the Company’s patent portfolio. The intellectual property also includes certain trademarks.

On August 23, 2021, the Company entered into a series of agreements with RubrYc described in more detail above (see Note 5 – Significant Transactions) whereby in exchange for a $7.5 million investment in RubrYc, the Company acquired a worldwide exclusive license to certain antibodies that RubrYc develops under what it calls its RTX-003 campaign, which are promising immuno-oncology antibodies that bind to the CD25 protein without interfering with the IL-2 signaling pathway thereby potentially depleting T regulatory (T reg) cells while enhancing T effector (T eff) cells and encouraging the immune system to attack cancer cells.  In addition, the Company also received preferred shares and an option for future collaboration licenses.

In January 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement with the University of Pittsburgh whereby iBio acquired exclusive worldwide rights to certain issued and pending patents covering specific candidate products for the treatment of fibrosis (the "Licensed Technology") which license agreement was amended in August 2016 and again in December 2020 and February 2022. The license agreement provides for payment by the Company of a license issue fee, annual license maintenance fees, reimbursement of prior patent costs incurred by the university, payment of a milestone payment upon regulatory approval for sale of a first product, and annual royalties on product sales. In addition, the Company has agreed to meet certain diligence milestones related to product development benchmarks. As part of its commitment to the diligence milestones, the Company successfully commenced production of a plant-made peptide comprising the Licensed Technology before March 31, 2014. The next milestone – filing an Investigational New Drug Application with the FDA or foreign equivalent covering the Licensed Technology ("IND") – initially was required to be met by December 1, 2015, and on November 2, 2020, was extended to be required to be met by December 31, 2021. On February 8, 2022, the Company signed another amendment to the license agreement with the University of Pittsburgh. The deadline for the next milestone was extended to December 31, 2023. In addition, the amounts of the annual license maintenance fee and payment upon completion of various regulatory milestones were amended.

The Company accounts for intangible assets at their historical cost and records amortization utilizing the straight-line method based upon their estimated useful lives. Patents are amortized over a period of 10 years and other intellectual property is amortized over a period from 16 to 23 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Evaluating for impairment requires judgment, and recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows of the assets over the remaining useful life to the carrying amount. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. There were no impairments during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

12.   Note Payable – PPP Loan

On April 16, 2020, the Company received $600,000 related to its filing under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The Company elected to treat the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Loan as debt under ASC 470, “Debt”.

On July 21, 2021, iBio was granted forgiveness in repaying the loan.  In accordance with ASC 405-20-40, “Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities – Derecognition”, the Company derecognized the liability and accrued interest in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022.  At June 30, 2021, the Company owed $600,000.

13.   Finance Lease Obligation

Sublease

As discussed above, until November 1, 2021, iBio CDMO leased the Facility as well as certain equipment from College Station under the Sublease.

The Sublease was terminated on November 1, 2021, when iBio CDMO acquired the Facility and became the tenant under the ground lease for the property upon which the Facility is located.  See Note 14 for additional information related to the ground lease.

Prior terms of the Sublease which determined the accounting through October 31, 2021, included:

The 34-year term of the Sublease was to expire in 2050 but could have been extended by iBio CDMO for a ten-year period, so long as iBio CDMO was not in default under the Sublease. Under the Sublease, iBio CDMO was required to pay base rent at an annual rate of $2,100,000, paid in equal quarterly installments on the first day of each February, May, August and November. The base rent was subject to increase annually in accordance with increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The base rent under the Second Eastern Affiliate’s ground lease for the property was subject to adjustment, based on an appraisal of the property, in 2030 and upon any extension of the ground lease. The base rent under the Sublease would have increased by any increase in the base rent under the ground lease as a result of such adjustments. iBio CDMO was responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with the ownership, management, operation, replacement, maintenance and repair of the property under the Sublease. The Company incurred rent expense of $0 and $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $64,000 and $135,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In addition to the base rent, iBio CDMO was required to pay, for each calendar year during the term, a portion of the total gross sales for products manufactured or processed at the facility, equal to 7% of the first $5,000,000 of gross sales, 6% of gross sales between $5,000,001 and $25,000,000, 5% of gross sales between $25,000,001 and $50,000,000, 4% of gross sales between $50,000,001 and $100,000,000, and 3% of gross sales between $100,000,001 and $500,000,000. However, if for any calendar year period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, iBio CDMO’s applicable gross sales were less than $5,000,000, or for any calendar year period from and after January 1, 2020, its applicable gross sales were less than $10,000,000, then iBio CDMO was required to pay the amount that would have been payable if it had achieved such minimum gross sales and would pay no less than the applicable percentage for the minimum gross sales for each subsequent calendar year. As the Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, the minimum percentage rent was included in the finance lease obligation through the acquisition on November 1, 2021.

Accrued expenses at March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021 due College Station amounted to $0 and $847,000, respectively. General and administrative expenses related to Second Eastern Affiliate, including rent related to the increases in CPI and real estate taxes, were approximately $0 and $189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $250,000 and $551,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense related to College Station was approximately $0 and $611,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $810,000 and $1,836,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

Mobile Office Trailer

Commencing April 1, 2021, the Company is leasing a mobile office trailer at a monthly rental of $3,819 through March 31, 2024.

14.   Operating Lease Obligation

Texas Ground Lease

As discussed above, as part of the Transaction, iBio CDMO became the tenant under the Ground Lease Agreement for the Property until 2060 upon exercise of available extensions. The base rent payable under the Ground Lease Agreement, which was $151,450 for the prior year, is 6.5% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Ground Lease Agreement) of the Property. The Ground Lease Agreement includes various covenants, indemnities, defaults, termination rights, and other provisions customary for lease transactions of this nature.

San Diego

On September 10, 2021, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 11,383 square feet of space in San Diego, California.  Terms of the lease include the following:

The length of term of the lease is 88 months from the lease commencement date (as defined).
The lease commencement date was estimated to be on or around January 1, 2022.
The monthly rent for the first year of the lease is $51,223 and increases approximately 3% per year.
The lease provides for a base rent abatement for months two through five in the first year of the lease.
The landlord is providing a tenant improvement allowance of $81,860 to be used for improvements as specified in the lease.
The Company is responsible for other expenses such as electric, janitorial, etc.
The Company opened an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $188,844 in favor of the landlord. The letter of credit expires on October 8, 2022 and renews annually as required.

As discussed above, the lease provides for scheduled increases in base rent and scheduled rent abatements.  Rent expense is charged to operations using the straight-line method over the term of the lease which results in rent expense being charged to operations at inception of the lease in excess of required lease payments. This excess (formerly classified as deferred rent) is shown as a reduction of the operating lease right-of-use asset in the accompanying balance sheet.  As the Company has already started making improvements to the facility, the rent expense will be recognized.

The following tables present the components of lease expense and supplemental balance sheet information related to the operating lease obligation (in thousands).

iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock

On February 23, 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Bryan Capital pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the interest in iBio CDMO held by Bryan Capital and issued one share of a newly created Preferred Tracking Stock, in exchange for 29,990,000 units of limited liability company interests of iBio CDMO held by Bryan Capital at an original issue price of $13 million. After giving effect to the transaction, the Company owned 99.99% and Bryan Capital owned 0.01% of iBio CDMO.

On February 23, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company created the Preferred Tracking Stock out of the Company’s 1 million authorized shares of preferred stock.

No dividends were declared through October 31, 2021.  

On November 1, 2021, iBio purchased the iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock held by Bryan Capital. No iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock remains outstanding. As a result, the iBio CDMO subsidiary and its intellectual property are now wholly owned by iBio.

The Series B Warrants were exercisable at $0.22 per share, had a term of seven years and were set to expire on October 29, 2026.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the components of the earnings (loss) per common share calculation (in thousands, except per share amounts):

18.   Fraunhofer Settlement

On May 4, 2021, iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) and Fraunhofer USA, Inc. (“FhUSA”) entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle all claims and counterclaims in the litigation captioned iBio, Inc. v. Fraunhofer USA, Inc. (Case No. 10256-VCF) in Delaware Chancery Court (the “Lawsuit”). The Settlement Agreement, among other things, resolves the Company’s claims to ownership of certain plant-based technology developed by FhUSA from 2003 through 2014, and sets forth the terms of a license of intellectual property. The Lawsuit was commenced against FhUSA by the Company in March 2015 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and is described in more detail in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The Settlement Agreement is not an admission of liability or fault of the parties.

The terms of the Settlement Agreement provide for cash payments to the Company of $28,000,000 as follows: (i) $16,000,000 to be paid no later than May 14, 2021 (which is expected to be paid 100% to cover legal fees and expenses); (ii) two payments of $5,100,000 payable by March 31, 2022 and 2023 and (iii) as additional consideration for a license agreement, two payments of $900,000 due on March 1, 2022 and 2023. The license provides for a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide, fully paid-up license to all intellectual property rights in and to certain plant-based technology developed by FhUSA from 2003 through 2014 that were the subject of the Lawsuit. After payment of the fees and expenses of its attorneys and others retained by the Company, including the litigation funding company, the Company’s estimated aggregate net cash recovery as a result of the Settlement Agreement will be approximately $10,200,000.  

As of June 30, 2021, the Company held receivables related to the settlement in the amount of $10,200,000. This amount was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as settlement income in Fiscal 2021.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company received the first payment of $5,100,000.

The Company would recognize the $1.8 million of license revenue when it determined the collection of the license fees was reasonably assured in accordance with ASC 606. On February 9, 2022, the Company received the first $900,000 payment under the license agreement. As such, the Company determined that the collection of the license fees was reasonably assured, and the Company recognized license revenue related to the license fees and recorded a receivable for the second payment in the third quarter of 2022.  

As of March 31, 2022, the Company holds a settlement receivable balance of $5,100,000 related to the settlement and a trade receivable balance of $900,000 related to the license agreement.

21.   Contingencies

COVID-19

As a result of the pandemic, the Company has at times experienced reduced capacity to provide CDMO services as a result of instituting social distancing at work requirements in our Texas facility, restricting access to essential workers, as well as taking other precautions. The Company also experienced a full three-day operational shutdown in April 2020 for extensive facility cleaning following the discovery that an employee had contracted COVID-19, and successfully resumed operations on a reduced capacity basis.

The Company has ascertained that certain risks associated with further COVID-19 developments may adversely impact its operations and liquidity, and its business and share price may also be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company does not anticipate any significant threat to its operations at this point in time. Due to the general unknown nature surrounding the crisis, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential for any future impacts on its operations or liquidity.

The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 and continued progress in various countries around the world, including the United States, has led authorities around the globe to take various extraordinary measures to stem the spread of the disease, such as emergency travel and transportation restrictions, school closures, quarantines and social distancing measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 has had an adverse effect on global markets and may continue to affect the economy in the United States and globally, especially if new strains of SARS-CoV-2 emerge.

War in Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine which has resulted in increased volatility in various financial markets and across various sectors. The United States and other countries, along with certain international organizations, have imposed economic sanctions on Russia and certain Russian individuals, banking entities and corporations as a response to the invasion. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and future market disruptions in the region are impossible to predict. Moreover, the ongoing effects of the hostilities and sanctions may not be limited to Russia and Russian companies and may spill over to and negatively impact other regional and global economic markets of the world, including Europe and the United States.  Presently, the Company does not have any existing Russian suppliers or contractors. While it is difficult to estimate the impact of current or future sanctions on the Company’s business and financial position, or global supply chains or service provisions that could have an impact on the availability or price of goods and services that the Company requires, the Company is not aware of any company-specific risks related to the war in Ukraine at this time.

22.   Employee 401(K) Plan

Commencing January 1, 2018, the Company established the iBio, Inc. 401(K) Plan (the “Plan”). Eligible employees of the Company may participate in the Plan, whereby they may elect to make elective deferral contributions pursuant to a salary deduction agreement and receive matching contributions upon meeting age and length-of-service requirements. The Company will make a 100% matching contribution that is not in excess of 5% of an eligible employee’s compensation. In addition, the Company may make qualified non-elective contributions at its discretion. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, employer contributions made to the Plan totaled approximately $96,000 and $34,000, respectively, and $227,000 and $95,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Overview

We are a developer of next-generation biopharmaceuticals and the pioneer of the sustainable FastPharming Manufacturing System. We are applying our technologies to research and develop novel product candidates to treat or prevent fibrotic diseases, cancers, and infectious diseases. We use our FastPharming Manufacturing System (“FastPharming” or the “FastPharming System”) and Glycaneering Services to help rapidly and cost effectively build a portfolio of biologic drug candidates, as well as to create proteins for others by contract or via the Company’s catalog.


The FastPharming System is our proprietary approach to plant-made pharmaceutical and recombinant protein production. It uses hydroponically grown, transiently-transfected plants, (typically Nicotiana benthamiana, a relative of the tobacco plant), novel expression vectors, a large-scale transient transfection method, and other technologies that can be used to produce complex therapeutic proteins emerging from our own, our clients’ and our potential clients’ pipelines.  We believe the FastPharming System enables biologics production that is potentially faster, more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly than other approaches.

We operate in two categories: (i) Biopharmaceuticals: our biologics development and licensing segment which is focused on drug development in two primary areas: Therapeutics (currently Fibrosis and Oncology) and Vaccines (for humans and animals), and (ii) Bioprocessing: focused on two business lines: Services and Research & Bioprocess Products (“RBP”).

Biopharmaceuticals:

We are currently focused on developing candidates in the following disease areas:

Fibrotic Diseases

Fibrosis is a pathological disorder in which connective tissue replaces normal parenchymal tissue to the extent that it goes unchecked, leading to considerable tissue remodeling and the formation of permanent scar tissue. Fibrosis can occur in many tissues within the body, including the lungs (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”) and skin (e.g., systemic scleroderma). Our endostatin E4 molecule, IBIO-100, is being evaluated for fibrotic diseases.

36

Table of Contents

Oncology

Our oncology efforts seek to identify therapeutics to aid in the treatment of cancer. Although there are a large number of cancer treatments available, there are few cures, and significant unmet medical need still exists for most types of cancer for improved treatments. Cancer remains the second most frequent cause of death worldwide. New research in oncology, especially that related to means to boost or support the patient’s immune system to treat cancer, is leading to a number of new treatments and new research programs with the potential to further improve cancer therapies. Our IL-2 sparing anti-CD25 antibody, IBIO-101, is being evaluated in the treatment of solid tumors.  Further, our endostatin E4 molecule, IBIO-100, is being evaluated in solid tumors.  In addition, we have four additional oncology drug candidates in early development.  The targets for these candidates have not been disclosed.

Our Glycaneering Technology enables the development of afucosylated recombinant proteins. Greater antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (“ADCC”) is often associated with such afucosylated proteins.  Thus, our Glycaneering Services can be used by the Company or its clients to potentially develop more potent cancer therapies.

Infectious Disease

Human Health: SARS-CoV-2

Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (“COVID”). It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and has resulted in an ongoing pandemic. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath or breathing difficulties, and loss of smell and taste. Some people develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), possibly precipitated by cytokine dysregulation, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots. Our nucleocapsid, antigen-based, intramuscularly-delivered vaccine candidate, IBIO-202. Following review of its investigational new drug (“IND”) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in January, we are moving forward with IND-enabling challenge studies for IBIO-202.

Animal Health:  Classical Swine Fever

Classical swine fever (“CSF”) is a contagious, often fatal disease affecting both feral and domesticated pigs. Outbreaks in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America have not only adversely impacted animal health and food security but have also had severe socioeconomic impacts on both the pig industry worldwide and small-scale pig farming. Currently available vaccines can be efficient at triggering rapid animal immune response and protecting swine populations when combined with culling of infected pigs, but do not allow the differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (“DIVA”), nor are they approved for use in the United States. The development of fully approved, DIVA-compatible, and efficacious vaccines represent an opportunity to prevent the economic impacts of a CSF outbreak including supply disruptions, export restrictions and reduced food security. Our E2 protein subunit candidate, IBIO-400, is being evaluated as a vaccine to prevent CSF.

Services

We utilize our FastPharming and Glycaneering intellectual property, Bioanalytics and process development capabilities, and cGMP manufacturing facility to provide development and manufacturing services on a contract basis.  


Research & Bioprocess Products

We are developing proteins for use in cutting-edge research and cGMP manufacturing where the demand for high-quality products continues to evolve. We offer recombinant proteins for third parties on a catalog and custom basis. These catalog products can lead to opportunities to provide CDMO services or identify in-licensing opportunities for our proprietary biotech pipeline.

Recent Developments

IBIO-202 COVID Vaccine

Investigational New Drug (“IND”)-enabling challenge studies of IBIO-202, our second-generation vaccine candidate for multi-variant COVID-19 disease, are underway and proceeding as planned. Assuming favorable study outcomes, iBio plans to file an IND application with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) before the end of calendar 2022.

Separately, iBio continues to evaluate the feasibility of intradermal delivery of its vaccine candidates, including its SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen, through its work with a leading innovator of microarray patch systems.

IBIO-101

iBio continues to develop its IL-2 sparing anti-CD25 antibody, IBIO-101, on the FastPharming Platform. Comparability studies have demonstrated that by applying the Company’s Glycaneering Technology, the FastPharming System produces a potent, high-quality, afucosylated molecule that is equal to, or better than, the same version of the antibody produced with traditional mammalian cell culture manufacturing methods.

38

Table of Contents

The Company announced today that it has completed the Lead Optimization stage in the development of IBIO-101 and has entered the IND-Enabling stage. An IND for IBIO-101 is expected before the end of Q2 of calendar 2023.

IBIO-100

Our endostatin E4 molecule for fibrotic diseases (IBIO-100) is subject to an exclusive, worldwide license to certain patents and related intellectual property granted to it by the University of Pittsburgh. In February 2022, the parties signed an amended license agreement that extends a number of milestone-related deadlines as follows: filing an investigational new drug application by December 31, 2023, enrollment of first patient in a Phase 1 clinical trial by June 30, 2024, enrollment of first patient in a Phase 2 clinical trial by September 30, 2025, enrollment of first patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial by September 30, 2028 and filing of a Biologics License Application or foreign equivalent by March 31, 2032.   In addition, the milestone payments were amended to aggregate $1,900,000. Given the additional flexibility provided by the amended agreement, and in support of our efforts to extend our cash runway, we will continue to appropriately pace the progression of IBIO-100 through the lead optimization stage.

Oncology Discovery Programs

We continue to advance our other oncology discovery programs. Initial data from the evaluation of the potential anti-cancer effects of the Company’s endostatin E4 molecule in combination with other cancer treatments upon fibrotic tumors is expected in the second half of calendar year 2022.

Initial data from the evaluation of the potential anti-cancer effects of the Company’s endostatin E4 molecule in combination with other cancer treatments upon fibrotic tumors is expected in the second half of calendar year 2022.

IBIO-400

Data analysis from the immunogenicity study of IBIO-400 has confirmed intramuscular injection is the preferred route of administration for the Company’s vaccine candidate for Classical Swine Fever. Updated efficacy protocols, manufacturing processes, and validation plans were submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) during the quarter to enable manufacturing clearance of pre-license lots for studies material to licensure. Given that regulatory review can be lengthier for first time applicants, iBio is estimating a response from the USDA on the submission within approximately12 months.

Bioprocessing

Pursuant to a second Statement of Work (“SOW”) under an existing Master Joint Development Agreement between iBio and Safi Biosolutions, Inc., iBio will assist Safi in its efforts related to the USU 4D Bio3 On-Demand Blood program, funded by the Defense Health Program (DHP), by utilizing the FastPharming system to make one of the most critical reagents used in the production of Safi’s manufactured Red Blood Cells (mRBCs).

Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Decrease Proposals

At the 2021 Annual Meeting, we sought approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of one (1) share of Common Stock for every ten (10) shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), and an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to decrease, concurrent with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 275,000,000 to 55,000,000 (the “Authorized Decrease Proposal”).

Although approximately 65% of the shares voted (including abstentions and withheld votes) were voted in favor of the Reserve Stock Split Proposal and approximately 68% of the shares voted (including abstentions and withheld votes) were voted in favor of the Authorized Decrease Proposal, we did not have the requisite stockholder votes to approve the proposals.

On May 12, 2022 we filed a preliminary proxy and announced that we will be holding a special meeting of shareholders on June 30th to vote on three proposals recommended by the Board: (i) Proposal 1 – approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of one (1) share of Common Stock for every twenty-five (25) shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), (ii) Proposal 2 – approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to decrease, concurrent with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 275,000,000 to 22,000,000, and (iii) Proposal 3 – an adjournment of

39

Table of Contents

the meeting in order to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the other two proposals.

On May 9, 2022, we designated a new class of convertible stock and sold 1,000 shares of the new class of convertible preferred stock. Each share of the convertible preferred stock will convert into one share of common stock and will be non-voting other than with respect to Proposal 1 for which each share of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to 5,000,000 votes per share in the same ratio as the underlying common stock votes. The holders of the convertible preferred stock have no discretion as to how to vote the shares. Any vote of the convertible preferred stock as structured will reflect the same proportion of the vote of the common shareholders so that the intent of the shareholders who vote can be realized.

Amendment to Bylaws

On January 26, 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to provide that the holders of one-third of our shares of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at all meetings of the stockholders will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws now include a new exclusive forum selection clause. The provision provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Company Law, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. In addition, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act; however, this provision does not apply to claims arising exclusively under the Exchange Act, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Facility Purchase

On November 1, 2021, we purchased the manufacturing facility (the “Facility”) we had previously operated under a lease from two affiliates of Eastern Capital Limited (the “Eastern Affiliates”). We also acquired the approximate 30% equity interest (after conversion) in iBio CDMO held by the Eastern Affiliates, became the lessee under the ground lease for the property upon which the Facility is located and terminated the Sublease we had entered into with the Eastern Affiliates. As a result, the subsidiary and its intellectual property are now wholly owned by us. The total purchase price for the Facility, the termination of the Sublease and other agreements among the parties, and the equity described below is $28,750,000, which was paid $28,000,000 in cash and by the issuance to Bryan Capital Investors LLC, an affiliate of the Eastern Affiliates a five-year warrant to purchase 1,289,581 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.33 per share. In connection with the purchase of the Facility, we entered into a Credit Agreement, dated November 1, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Woodforest National Bank (“Woodforest”) pursuant to which Woodforest provided iBio CDMO a $22,375,000 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) to purchase the Facility, which Term Loan is evidenced by a Term Note (the “Term Note”). The Term Loan was advanced in full on the closing date. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.25%, with higher interest rates upon an event of default, which interest is payable monthly beginning November 5, 2021.  Principal on the Term Loan is payable on November 1, 2023, subject to early termination upon events of default. The Term Loan provides that it may be prepaid by iBio CDMO at any time and provides for mandatory prepayment upon certain circumstances. The Term Loan is secured by a lien on all of the assets of iBio CDMO and we guaranteed payments of the obligations owed under the Term Loan. See Note 5 for more detail.

This Transaction provided us strategic, operational, and financial flexibility. Resolving the relationship with the Seller provided clarity on technological and operational ownership so we can continue growing our team in Texas, as well as driving further adoption of FastPharming as the green alternative to traditional mammalian cell culture bioproduction around the globe. The Transaction also enabled us to explore entering a sale-leaseback transaction that, if successful, would provide non-dilutive capital that could be used to expand the facility.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenue

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $1.9 million and $0.8 million respectively, an increase of approximately $1.1 million. We expect revenue to be variable, quarter to quarter since we are currently dependent on a small number of customers and revenue recognition often occurs when a task or job is entirely complete. We recognized 100% of revenues

40

Table of Contents

generated during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from three customers. The increase in revenue was the result of $1.8 million (93%) of revenue that was generated from royalty revenue recognized in February 2022 for the technology license with Fraunhofer (see Note 18. Fraunhofer Settlement for more detail). 100% of revenue in Q3 2021 was generated from three customers, one of whom represented 92% of the revenue.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $1.6 million.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 97.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 35.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit percentage was due to the 100% gross margin on royalty revenue related to the license with Fraunhofer.

Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31 2022 and 2021 were $5.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $3.4 million. The increase was primarily related to increases in personnel and other expenses to support our development of a portfolio of proprietary therapeutics and vaccines, the investment into the San Diego facility and investments into our pipeline including IBIO-101 and IBIO-202.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”)

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $8.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively, an increase of $3.2 million. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in headcount and consulting costs to increase production capability and support the portfolio of proprietary therapeutics and vaccines.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, consisting primarily of R&D and G&A expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were approximately $14.1 million, compared to approximately $7.5 million in the same period of 2021.

Total Other Income (Expense)

iBio CDMO’s operations take place in a facility in Bryan, Texas. Until November 1, 2021, the Facility was operated under a 34-year lease (the “Sublease”) with the second affiliate of another affiliate of Eastern Capital Limited (“Eastern”), a stockholder of the Company (the “Second Eastern Affiliate”). Such Sublease is accounted for as a finance lease and included in Other Income.

Total Other Income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately ($0.2) million and ($0.5) million respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Total Other Income (expense) included interest expense of approximately ($0.3) million primarily related to the Term Loan with Woodforest for the Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Total Other Income (expense) primarily included interest expense of approximately ($0.6) million incurred under the finance lease.

Net Loss Attributable to iBio, Inc. Stockholders

Net loss attributable to iBio, Inc. stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was ($12.4) million, or ($0.06) per share. Net loss available to iBio, Inc. stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was approximately ($7.7) million or ($0.04) per share.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Revenue

Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $2.3 million and $1.9 million respectively, an increase of approximately $0.4 million. We expect revenue to be variable, quarter to quarter since we are currently dependent on a small number of customers and revenue recognition often occurs when a task or job is entirely complete. We recognized 100% of revenues generated during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 from eight customers. $1.8 million (78%) of the revenue came from recognizing royalty revenue for the technology license with Fraunhofer (see Note 18. Fraunhofer Settlement for more detail).  100% of revenue came from five customers in the comparable period of 2021, one of whom represented 47% of the revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2.1 million and $0.6 million respectively, an increase of approximately $1.5 million.  Gross profit percentage was 91.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, and 32.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit percentage was largely due to the 100% gross margin on royalty revenue related to the license with Fraunhofer.

Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $11.4 million and $6.9 million respectively, an increase of approximately $4.5 million. The increase was primarily related to increases in personnel and other expenses to support our development of a portfolio of proprietary therapeutics and vaccines, the investment into the San Diego facility and investments into our pipeline including for IBIO-101 and IBIO-202

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”)

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $23.5 million and $15.4 million respectively, an increase of $8.1 million. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in headcount and consulting costs to increase production capability and support the portfolio of proprietary therapeutics and vaccines.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, consisting primarily of R&D and G&A expenses, for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, were approximately $34.9 million, compared to approximately $22.3 million in the same period of 2021.

Total Other Income (Expense)

iBio CDMO’s operations take place in a facility in Bryan, Texas. Until November 1, 2021, the Facility was operated under a 34-year lease (the "Sublease") with the second affiliate of another affiliate of Eastern Capital Limited (“Eastern”), a stockholder of the Company (the “Second Eastern Affiliate”). Such Sublease was accounted for as a finance lease and included in Other Income.

Total Other Income (expense) for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately ($0.5) million and ($1.7) million respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, Total Other Income (expense) primarily included interest expense of approximately ($1.2) million incurred under the finance lease offset by $0.6 million of Forgiveness of note payable. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, Total Other Income (expense) primarily included interest expense of approximately ($1.8) million incurred under the finance lease.

Net Loss Attributable to iBio, Inc. Stockholders

Net loss attributable to iBio, Inc. stockholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, was approximately ($33.3) million, or ($0.15) per share. Net loss available to iBio, Inc. stockholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, was approximately ($23.5) million or ($0.12) per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents plus debt securities of approximately $54.5 million, including $5.9 million of restricted cash, as compared to $97.0 million as of June 30, 2021. Based on assumptions related to its business, including the sale-leaseback of the Bryan facility and collection of money owed to iBio by Fraunhofer among others, Management believes the Company has adequate cash to support the Company’s activities through at least September 30, 2023.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately ($26.0) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The use of cash was primarily attributable to funding our net loss for the period.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of approximately ($5.6) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, was attributable primarily to the purchase of ($5.5) million of debt securities offset by the redemption of debt securities of $9.7 million, the purchase of

fixed assets of ($3.9) million and the agreements entered into with RubrYc Therapeutics, Inc. which resulted in the purchase of equity securities of ($1.8) million and additions of intangible assets of ($4.3) million. Refer to Note 5 – Significant Transactions for details.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, was approximately ($6.1) million and mainly attributable to the Payment of Finance Lease Obligations related to the purchase of the manufacturing facility of ($5.8) million and ($0.3) million in Costs to attain term note.

Funding Requirements

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our spin-off from Integrated BioPharma in August 2008. As of March 31, 2022, our accumulated deficit was approximately $ (206.9) million and we used approximately ($26.0) million of cash for operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Based on management projections including assumptions regarding the sale-leaseback of the Bryan facility and the payment of money owed to iBio by Fraunhofer among others and on the total cash and cash equivalents plus investments in debt securities of approximately $57.4 million including restricted cash of $5.9 million as of December 31, 2021, management believes the Company has adequate cash to support the Company’s activities through at least September 30, 2023.

We plan to fund our future business operations using existing cash and liquid resources, through proceeds realized in connection with the commercialization of our technologies and proprietary products, government grants, license and collaboration arrangements relating to the operation of iBio CDMO, and through proceeds from the sale of additional equity or other securities. Although we have been successful in raising capital during the past year, we cannot be certain that such funding will be available in the future on favorable terms or at all. We also plan to explore potential longer-term financing options for our Facility, including, but not limited to, a potential sale-leaseback transaction. We anticipate that expenses will increase as we further expand our operations, including our planned establishment of drug discovery capabilities in San Diego, California.  In addition, further product development is also expected to increase expenses, including but not limited to the advancing IBIO-100, IBIO-101, IBIO-202, IBIO-400 and additional immune-oncology pipeline products in fiscal 2022. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. If we are unable to raise funds when required or on favorable terms, this assumption may no longer be operative, and we may have to: a) significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the product application and/or commercialization of our proprietary technologies; b) seek collaborators for our technology and product candidates on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; c) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize; or d) possibly cease operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually limited purposes. As of March 31, 2022, we were not involved in any SPE transactions.

Critical Accounting Estimates

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of March 31, 2022, have been taken into consideration in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our condensed consolidated financial statements:

Valuation of intellectual property;

Table of Contents

Revenue recognition;
Liquidity assertions;
Useful lives of fixed assets;
Lease accounting;
Legal and contractual contingencies;
Research and development expenses; and
Share-based compensation expenses.

We base our estimates, to the extent possible, on historical experience. Historical information is modified as appropriate based on current business factors and various assumptions that we believe are necessary to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and make changes when necessary. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended, as of March 31, 2022.  The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the Annual Report. Except as described below, our risk factors as of the date of this Report have not changed materially from those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We expect to incur losses during our next fiscal year and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Since our 2008 spinoff from Integrated BioPharma, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Our net loss attributable to iBio Inc. was approximately $23.2 million and $16.4 million for 2021 and 2020 and approximately $12.4 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $33.3 million and $23.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately ($206.9) million.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and securing a Term Loan. We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, including the development and validation of our technologies, our CDMO facilities, and the development of a proprietary therapeutic product against fibrosis and COVID-19 vaccines based upon our technologies. We have not completed development of or commercialized any vaccine or therapeutic product candidates. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and may incur operating losses for at least the next year. We anticipate that our expenses and losses will increase substantially if we:

initiate clinical trials of our product candidates;
continue the research and development of our product candidates;
seek to discover or license in additional product candidates; and
add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and manufacturing efforts.

Our profitability in large part depends on our research and development programs and our ability to successfully develop and commercialize our product candidates and to a lesser extent, our ability to generate revenue from our iBio CDMO services. This will require us, alone or with our licensees and collaborators, to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing preclinical testing and clinical trials of our product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for these product candidates and manufacturing, marketing and selling those products for which regulatory approval is obtained or establishing collaborations with parties willing and able to provide necessary capital or other value. We may never succeed in these activities. We may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability.

Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would diminish the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could also cause an investor to lose all or part of their investment.

We need additional funding to fully execute our business plan, which funding may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate the commercialization of our development and manufacturing services and efforts for our product development programs. Our estimates of our future funding needs are based upon assumptions, which may not be accurate or come true.

We will need additional capital to fully implement our current long-term business, operating and development plans. To the extent that we initiate or continue clinical development without securing collaborator or licensee funding, our research and development expenses could increase substantially.

45

Table of Contents

When we elect to raise additional funds or additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing alternatives. Additional equity or debt financing or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We currently have no committed sources of funding.  On November 25, 2020, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering SM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor Fitzgerald") to sell shares of common stock, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 through which Cantor Fitzgerald would act as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”). There can be no assurance that we will meet the requirements to be able to sell securities pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or if we meet the requirements that we will be able to raise sufficient funds on favorable terms. If we are unable to raise capital in sufficient amounts when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or commercialization efforts and our ability to generate revenues and achieve or sustain profitability will be substantially harmed.

Given that our cash, cash equivalents and investments in debt securities as of March 31, 2022, was approximately $48.6 million excluding $5.9 million in restricted cash, we believe we have adequate cash to support our current operations; however, in order to implement our long term operating plans, we will need to raise additional funds. We plan to fund our future business operations using cash on hand, through proceeds realized in connection with the commercialization of our technologies and proprietary products (which is not anticipated to be generated, if ever, in the near future), license and collaboration arrangements related to the operation of iBio CDMO, and through proceeds from the sale of additional equity or other securities. We cannot be certain that such funding will be available on favorable terms or available at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution.

We have based this projection on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, in which case we may deplete our cash resources sooner than we currently anticipate. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the costs of operating our business including operating our facility, investing in our drug development pipeline, and investing in our CDMO business;
the revenue and the outlicensing gains if any our business can generate;
the financing of our business including the potential sales-leaseback of our facility;
the collection of receivables from the Fraunhofer settlement and license fee; and

the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies.

If the assumptions set forth above  prove to be wrong, we may need to raise capital sooner than anticipated. If we are unable to raise funds when required or on favorable terms, this assumption may no longer be operative, and we may have to: a) significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the product application and/or commercialization of our proprietary technologies; b) seek collaborators for our technology and product candidates on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; c) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize; or d) possibly cease operations.

We may not have an adequate number of shares of common stock authorized to enable us to complete future equity financing transactions or strategic transactions, which may adversely affect our ability to grow and develop.

We are authorized to issue 275,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which approximately 218,165,624 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding as March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, 36 million common shares were reserved for issuance of shares upon exercise of outstanding options or reserved for future issuance of common shares under our equity incentive plans. If all of these securities were exercised it would leave approximately 21 million authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

As a result of our limited number of our authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, we may have insufficient shares of Common Stock available to issue in connection with any future equity financing transactions or strategic transactions we may seek to undertake. Accordingly, we will likely take steps in the near future to increase our number of available shares, which may include seeking stockholder approval of an increase in our authorized number of shares of common stock or a reverse stock split. At our annual meeting of stockholders held on December 9, 2020, we sought but did not obtain approval of an increase in our authorized number of shares of common stock from 275,000,000 to 425,000,000. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, we sought but did not obtain approval of a reverse stock split which if effected would have resulted in additional shares of unissued authorized Common Stock becoming available for issuance but did not obtain approval to effect a reverse stock split.  Although we have filed a preliminary proxy statement for a special meeting

46

Table of Contents

of stockholders to seek approval of a reverse stock split which if effected would have resulted in additional shares of unissued authorized Common Stock becoming available for issuance, there can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained at such special meeting of stockholders. If not, we may need to rely on debt for growth capital (which may be limited due to current covenants in the Credit Agreement) or take other steps necessary to raise capital or reduce operations.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.

Until such time as we can generate substantial development, manufacturing, license or product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, collaborations, strategic alliances, service contracts, manufacturing contracts, facility build-out and technology transfer contracts, licensing and other arrangements. Sources of funds may not be available or, if available, may not be available on terms satisfactory to us.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, 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, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences, which are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unable to continue our operations.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through a public or private offering and sale of equity securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. We are authorized to issue 275,000,000 shares of common stock, of which at March 31, 2022, approximately 218,165,624 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and 36 million common shares were reserved for issuance of shares upon exercise of outstanding options or reserved for future issuance of common shares under our equity incentive plans. If all of these securities were exercised it would leave approximately 21 million authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Accordingly, we will be able to issue up to approximately 21 million additional shares of common stock and approximately 1 million shares of preferred stock based on our current authorized number of shares of common stock. Sales of our common stock offered through current or future equity offerings may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to investors, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

The failure to comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement could result in a default under the terms of the Credit Agreement and, if uncured, it could potentially result in action against our pledged assets.

There is no assurance that iBio CDMO or we will generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient capital to be able to make the required principal payment under the Term Loan in the principal amount of $22,375,000 that iBio CDMO entered into with Woodforest National Bank. The Term Loan with Woodforest National Bank is secured by (a) a leasehold deed of trust on our sole manufacturing facility (the “Facility”), (b) a letter of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank and (c) a first lien on all assets of iBio CDMO including the Facility.  We have also guaranteed the payment of all iBio CDMO’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.  If we or iBio CDMO fails to comply with the terms of the Term Loans and/or the related agreements, Woodforest National Bank could declare a default and if the default were to remain uncured, Woodforest National Bank would have the right to proceed against any or all of the collateral securing their Term Loan. Our failure to make such payments when due could result in our loss of the Facility, upon which our manufacturing is based. Any action to proceed against our assets would likely have a serious disruptive effect on our business operations, especially if the Facility were foreclosed upon.

The Credit Agreement requires that we pay a significant amount of cash to the lender. Our ability to generate sufficient cash to make all required payments under the Credit Agreement depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance the Term Loan, to fund planned capital expenditures and to maintain sufficient working capital depends on our ability to raise capital and generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. To date, we have generated minimal revenue and have financed a significant portion our capital needs from sales of our equity and most recently the Term Loan.  There can be no assurance that financing options will be available to us when needed to make payments under the Term Loan or if available, that they will be on favorable terms. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to allow us to make payments due under the Term Loan, we may need to seek additional capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of the Term Loan on or before the maturity thereof, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Although we plan to explore potential longer-term financing options for our Facility, including, but not limited to, a potential sale-leaseback transaction, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter in a sale-leaseback transaction or refinance the Term Loan on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to repay or refinance our debt on favorable terms, it could significantly adversely affect our financial condition. Our ability to restructure or refinance the Term Loan will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition. Any refinancing of the term Loan could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any financing when needed.

Covenant restrictions in the Credit Agreement may limit our ability to operate our business.

 

The Credit Agreement contains, and our future indebtedness agreements may contain covenants that restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. The Credit Agreement requires maintaining $10,000,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and restricts iBio CDMO’s ability to:

 

 

incur, assume or guarantee additional Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

 

 

repurchase capital stock;

 

 

make other restricted payments including, without limitation, paying dividends and making investments;

 

 

create Liens (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and

 

sell or otherwise dispose of assets.

If we are found to have failed to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we license intellectual property rights from third parties or otherwise experience disruptions to our business relationships with our licensors, we could lose intellectual property rights that are important to our business.

We are a party to an exclusive license agreement with University of Pittsburgh, as well as a non-exclusive license agreement with the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, and an exclusive license agreement with RubrYc and a collaboration, option and license agreement with RubrYc  and may need to obtain additional licenses from others to advance our research and development activities or allow the commercialization of our lead products or other product candidates that we may identify. Our license agreements impose, and we expect that future license agreements will impose, various development, diligence, commercialization, and other obligations on us. Our prospects for our fibrosis product candidate (IBIO-100), which is now one of our primary focuses, is significantly dependent upon our license agreement with the University of Pittsburgh. The license grants us exclusive, worldwide rights to certain existing patents and related intellectual property that cover fibrosis. If we breach the terms of the license, including any failure to make minimum royalty payments required thereunder or failure to reach certain developmental milestones and by certain deadlines or other factors, University of Pittsburgh has the right to terminate the license. Under the terms and conditions of the license agreement, as amended, we have agreed to use our best efforts to bring the licensed technology to market as soon as practicable, consistent with sound and reasonable business practice and judgment, and to continue active, diligent marketing efforts for the licensed technology throughout the term of this Agreement. In addition, this license agreement, as amended sets forth the following specific milestone completion deadlines: filing an investigational new drug application by December 31, 2023, enrollment of first patient in a Phase 1 clinical trial by June 30, 2024, enrollment of first patient in a Phase 2 clinical trial by September 30, 2025, enrollment of first patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial by September 30, 2028 and filing of a Biologics License Application or foreign equivalent by March 31, 2032. Although we intend to commence initiation of IND-enabling studies in fiscal 2022, there can be no assurance that we will complete the necessary studies in order to allow for us to file an IND by December 31, 2023.  If we were to lose or otherwise be unable to maintain the license on acceptable terms or find that it is necessary or appropriate to secure new licenses from other third parties, we may not be able to further develop or market IBIO-100.

The commercial license with RubrYc exclusively permits us to research, develop, make, have made, manufacture, use, distribute, sell, offer for sale, import, and export antibodies in RubrYc’s RTX-003. Under the terms and conditions of the RTX-003 License Agreement, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize RTX-003 antibodies. If we fail to achieve certain timing milestones for starting GMP manufacturing and dosing human patients under an IND, we could be required to make a payment to RubrYc on the date the milestone is missed and on each anniversary of such date until the milestone is achieved, provided that the milestone was missed due to our failure to exercise commercially reasonable efforts. If we breach the terms of the license agreement with RubrYc, RubrYc has the right to terminate the license agreement. In addition, the collaboration, option and license agreement with RubrYc provides that in the event the option is exercised by us, we have various diligence obligations including that we will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) develop Selected Compounds for use in pharmaceutical products (the “Collaboration Products”); and (ii) commercialize the Collaboration Products. In addition, we are also required to meet a series of development milestones for each Collaboration Product. Failure to achieve the milestones will result in a payment to RubrYc on the date the milestone is missed and on each anniversary of such date until the milestone is achieved, provided that the milestone was missed due to our failure to exercise commercially reasonable efforts.  If we breach the terms of the collaboration, option and license agreement with RubrYc, they have the right to terminate the license agreement.

Changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conditions, domestic and foreign trade policies, monetary policies

and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.

Our operations and performance depend on global, regional and U.S. economic and geopolitical conditions. Russia’s invasion and military attacks on Ukraine have triggered significant sanctions from U.S. and European leaders. These events are currently escalating and creating increasingly volatile global economic conditions. Resulting changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by Russia, its allies and other affected countries, including China, resulting in a “trade war.” Furthermore, if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues for a long period of time, or if other countries, including the U.S., become further involved in the conflict, we could face significant adverse effects to our business and financial condition.

The above factors, including a number of other economic and geopolitical factors both in the U.S. and abroad, could ultimately have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including the following:

effects of significant changes in economic, monetary and fiscal policies in the U.S. and abroad including currency fluctuations, inflationary pressures and significant income tax changes;
supply chain disruptions;
a global or regional economic slowdown in any of our market segments;
changes in government policies and regulations affecting the Company or its significant customers;

industrial policies in various countries that favor domestic industries over multinationals or that restrict foreign companies altogether;
new or stricter trade policies and tariffs enacted by countries, such as China, in response to changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs;
postponement of spending, in response to tighter credit, financial market volatility and other factors;
rapid material escalation of the cost of regulatory compliance and litigation;
difficulties protecting intellectual property;
longer payment cycles;
credit risks and other challenges in collecting accounts receivable; and
the impact of each of the foregoing on outsourcing and procurement arrangements.

Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws  provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for certain disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the forum selection provision does not apply to claims arising exclusively under the Exchange Act or the Investment Company Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

This forum selection provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring certain claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. If a court were to find this forum selection provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of shares of our common stock.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock without any further action on the part of our stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the voting rights, rights of redemption and other rights and preferences of preferred stock. Currently, we have 1,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding. Our Board of Directors may, at any time, designate a new series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock, and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, before the redemption of our common stock and authorize the issuance of such series of preferred stock, which may have a material adverse effect on the rights of the holders of our common stock. In addition, our Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may, at any time, issue large blocks of preferred stock. In addition, the ability of our Board of Directors to designate and issue shares of preferred stock without any further action on the part of our stockholders may impede a takeover of our company and may prevent a transaction that is favorable to our stockholders.
