Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.
Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for any other interim period or for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or the 2024 10-K.
Going Concern
The Company prepared its condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a history of losses from operations, net losses and negative cash flows from operations, and expects significant losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations until such time that it generates revenue to cover its operating expenses that results in net income. Because the Company is in the early stages of executing against its expanded business strategy announced in March 2025 (see Note 1. Organization and Description of Business), it is not possible to predict when this will occur and there could be significant losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations for the next several years. These circumstances and those described below raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $179.7 million, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.3 million, and a working capital deficit of approximately $9.4 million. The Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025 represented funds received under grant agreements that generally may be applied solely toward direct costs for carrying out the respective projects under those grant agreements. See Note 10, Grant Awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4.4 million and had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $5.5 million.
Based on the Company's current operating plan estimates, the Company does not have sufficient cash to satisfy its working capital needs and other liquidity requirements over at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will need to raise substantial additional capital to continue to fund its operations and to successfully execute its current strategy. The Company is in ongoing discussions with potential third-party sources of additional capital, and the Company will continue to evaluate and may pursue a variety of capital raising options, including sales of equity, debt financings, government or other grant funding, collaborations, structured financings, and strategic alliances or other similar types of arrangements. However, the Company's ability to raise additional capital will depend on a variety of factors, many aspects of which are not entirely within its control, and there can be no assurance that capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the delisting of the Company's common stock from Nasdaq could substantially impair its ability to raise capital.
If the Company cannot raise capital when needed, on favorable terms or at all, the Company will not be able to continue development of its product candidates, will need to reevaluate its planned operations and may need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs, reduce expenses, file for bankruptcy, reorganize, merge with another entity, or cease operations. If the Company becomes unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may have to liquidate its assets, and might realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on its condensed consolidated financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in the Company's common stock. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available for evaluation the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, or decision-making group in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO. The CEO views the Company's operations and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment, Women's Health. See Note 12, "Segment Information," for additional information.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Reverse Stock Split
The Company effected a 1-for-12 reverse split of its issued common stock on July 1, 2024. At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 12 shares of the Company’s common stock was automatically reclassified and combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to receive a fractional share instead automatically had their fractional interests rounded up to the next whole share. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares or the par value per share of the Company’s common stock.
All common stock share and per share data presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split for all periods presented, without giving effect to whole shares issued in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, proportionate adjustments were made in accordance with the applicable terms of outstanding stock options and warrants, the Company’s stock incentive plans and an existing agreement to the (a) per share exercise prices of, and the number of shares underlying, the Company’s outstanding stock options, (b) number of shares available for the grant of awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans, and (c) per share exercise prices of, and the number of shares underlying, outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants potentially issuable by the Company in its sole discretion pursuant to an existing agreement.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 10-K. Since the date on which the 2024 10-K was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies. Selected significant account policies are discussed in further detail below:
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company has an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million in restricted cash as of March 31, 2025, related to (i) letters of credit established under real property leases for the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dare MB Inc., that serve as security for potential future default of lease payments, and (ii) collateralized cash for the Company's credit cards. The restricted cash is unavailable for withdrawal or for general obligations and is included in other non-current assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, management's judgments with respect to its revenue arrangement, liability related to the sale of future royalties, valuation of stock-based awards and the accrual of research and development expenses. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and future operating results.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques established to measure fair value is defined as follows:
Level 1: inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following tables present the classification within the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There were no financial assets or liabilities that were remeasured using a quoted price in active markets for identical assets (Level 2) or using unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense captions. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses, which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the guidance, noting the adoption impacts disclosure only.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the disclosure impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
