IN8BIO, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization and Business

IN8bio, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of gamma-delta T cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. The Company’s lead product candidates are currently in Phase 1 clinical trials: INB-200, for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (“GBM”), and INB-100, for the treatment of patients with leukemia that are undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HSCT”). In addition, the Company’s DeltEx platform has yielded a broad portfolio of preclinical programs, including INB-300 and INB-400, focused on addressing other solid tumor types.

Incysus, Inc. (“Incysus”) was a corporation formed in the State of Delaware on November 23, 2015 and Incysus, Ltd. was incorporated in Bermuda on February 8, 2016. Incysus was the wholly owned United States subsidiary of Incysus, Ltd. On May 7, 2018, Incysus, Ltd. reincorporated in the United States in a domestication transaction (the “Domestication”) in which Incysus, Ltd. converted into a newly formed Delaware corporation, Incysus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Incysus Therapeutics”). On July 24, 2019, Incysus Therapeutics merged with Incysus. Incysus Therapeutics subsequently changed its name to IN8bio, Inc. in August 2020. Following the Domestication in May 2018 and the merging of Incysus Therapeutics and Incysus in July 2019, the Company does not have any subsidiaries to consolidate. The Company is headquartered in New York, New York.

Coronavirus Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the periods of resurgences of cases relating to the spread of various strains, has had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as certain worker shortages have occurred, supply chains have been disrupted, and facilities and productions have been suspended. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the clinical sites and startup activities for the Company’s Phase 1/2 clinical trial, including third-party manufacturing and logistics providers, which have disrupted and may continue to disrupt its supply chains and the availability or cost of materials, and it has affected and may continue to affect the Company’s ability to timely initiate, enroll and complete its clinical trials, conduct regulatory activities and operate its business more generally. The ongoing pandemic may impact the timing of regulatory approval of the investigational new drug application for clinical trials, the enrollment of any clinical trials that are approved, the availability of clinical trial materials and regulatory approval and commercialization of our products. The pandemic may also continue to impact the capital markets, inflation expectations and the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact short-term and long-term liquidity. The full extent to which the pandemic may impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including as a result of evolving variants of COVID-19, the duration and intensity of the related effects of the pandemic and the uncertainty of the timing of the broader economic recovery to pre-pandemic levels.

Initial Public Offering

On August 3, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it issued and sold 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of $32.3 million, after deducting underwriters’ discounts, commissions, and offering-related costs. Upon closing of the IPO, all of the Company's outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 10,990,065 shares of common stock (see Note 7).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through June 30, 2022, the Company funded its operations primarily with proceeds from its Series A convertible preferred stock financing (“Series A Financing”) and with proceeds from its IPO. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative operating cash flows from operations since its inception, including net losses of $13.3 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $46.0 million.

The Company has not yet generated product sales and as a result has experienced operating losses since inception. The Company expects to incur additional losses in the future to conduct research and development and will need to raise additional capital to fully implement management’s business plan. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels, the Company may need to reevaluate its operating plans. On August 11, 2022, the Company announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 5,394,737 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $1.90 per share, for expected gross proceeds of approximately $10.3 million, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses (refer to Note 13). Management believes that its existing cash of $25.7 million as of June 30, 2022 will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the issuance of these condensed financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the notes thereto, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2022. Since the date of that filing, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”).

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The condensed financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these condensed financial statements, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowance, fair value of common stock and stock-based compensation, and the useful lives of property and equipment. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Significant replacements and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s respective assets are as follows:

 

 

 

Estimated Useful Life

 

Computer equipment

 

 

3 years

 

Furniture

 

 

5 years

 

Laboratory equipment

 

 

3-5 years

 

Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated in accordance with the above guidelines once placed into service. Upon retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting of Income Taxes ("Topic 740"), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated this guidance and determined that it does not have a material impact to its condensed financial statements.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

On May 7, 2018, the Company established and adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) providing for the granting of stock awards for employees, directors and consultants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the effectiveness of the 2020 Plan (as defined below), the plan was terminated and no further issuances were made under the 2018 Plan, although it continues to govern the terms of any equity grants that remain outstanding under the 2018 Plan.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders and became effective on July 29, 2021. The Board of Directors, or committee thereof, is authorized to administer the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of awards to employees, directors and consultants and any affiliates’ employees and consultants. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan was 2,626,710, which automatically increases on January 1 of each year for a period of 10 years, beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing through January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Board of Directors no later than the last day of the immediately preceding year. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under the 2020 Plan will be 13,000,000 shares. On January 1, 2022, the shares reserved for issuance was increased to 3,565,772 shares. As of June 30, 2022, 1,665,445 shares were available for grant pursuant to the 2020 Plan.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s stockholders and became effective on July 29, 2021. A total of 200,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under this plan, which automatically increases on January 1 of each year for a period of 10 years, beginning on January 1, 2021 and continuing through January 1, 2031, by the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding year; and 400,000 shares, except before the date of any such increase, the Board of Directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth above. As of December 31, 2021, no shares of common stock had been issued under the 2020 ESPP and 200,000 shares remained available for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP. On January 1, 2022, the shares reserved for issuance was increased to 387,812 shares. The first offering period has not yet been decided by the Company’s Board of Directors or designated committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
