SURROZEN, INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Organization and Business

 

Organization

Surrozen, Inc., or the Company, formerly known as Consonance-HFW Acquisition Corp., or Consonance, is a preclinical stage biotechnology company committed to discovering and developing drug candidates to selectively modulate the Wnt pathway, a critical mediator of tissue repair, in a broad range of organs and tissues, for human diseases. The Company, a Delaware corporation, is located in South San Francisco, California.

 

Business Combination and Private Investment in Public Entity Financing

Consonance was a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 21, 2020. It was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

 

On August 11, 2021, Consonance consummated a business combination, or the Business Combination, among Consonance, Perseverance Merger Sub Inc., a subsidiary of Consonance, and Surrozen, Inc., or Legacy Surrozen, a Delaware company incorporated on August 12, 2015. Upon closing of the Business Combination, Consonance became a Delaware corporation and was renamed to Surrozen, Inc., Legacy Surrozen, was renamed to Surrozen Operating, Inc., and Legacy Surrozen continued as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 3, "Recapitalization" for additional details.

 

Liquidity

The Company has incurred net operating losses each period since inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used $18.4 million and $10.3 million of cash in operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $150.6 million. The Company expects operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future because of additional costs and expenses related to the research and development activities. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $104.3 million.

 

In February 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, or the Equity Purchase Agreement, and a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion over a 36-month period commencing on April 27, 2022 (see Note 8).

 

Management believes that the existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are sufficient for the Company to continue operating activities for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However, if the Company’s anticipated cash burn is greater than anticipated, the Company could use its capital resources sooner than expected which may result in the need to reduce future planned expenditures and/or raise additional capital to continue to fund the operations.

 

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted, and accordingly the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022 or for any other interim period or for any other future year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The Business Combination discussed in Note 1 was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Legacy Surrozen as the accounting acquirer and Consonance as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Surrozen at their historical cost as if Legacy Surrozen is the predecessor to the Company. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the closing of the Business Combination reflect the results of the combined entity’s operations. All issued and outstanding common stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stock awards of Legacy Surrozen and per share amounts contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented prior to the closing of the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination. See Note 3, “Recapitalization” for additional details.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, certain accruals for research and development activities, the fair value of common stock prior to the Business Combination, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk, consist of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company's cash is held by one financial institution that management believes is creditworthy. Such deposits held with the financial institution may at times exceed federally insured limits, however, its exposure to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution is limited to the extent of amounts recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company performs evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions to limit the amount of credit exposure. The Company's policy is to invest cash in institutional money market funds and marketable securities with high credit quality to limit the amount of credit exposure. The Company currently maintains a portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities in a variety of securities, including money market funds, U.S. government bonds, foreign bonds, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash equivalents and marketable securities.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company invests its excess cash in marketable U.S. government bonds, foreign bonds, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. All marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities. The Company does not buy or hold securities principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future. The Company’s policy is focused on the preservation of capital, liquidity, and return. From time to time, the Company may sell certain securities, but the objectives are generally not to generate profits on short-term differences in price.

 

Short-term marketable securities have maturities less than or equal to one year as of the balance sheet date. Long-term marketable securities have maturities greater than one year as of the balance sheet date. These marketable securities are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until realized. Gains and losses on marketable security transactions are reported on the specific-identification method. Interest income is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss when earned.

 

The Company periodically evaluates its available-for-sale marketable securities for impairment. When the fair value of a marketable security is below its amortized cost, the amortized cost is reduced to its fair value if it is more likely than not that the Company is

6


 

required to sell the impaired security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or the Company has the intention to sell the security. If neither of these conditions are met, the Company determines whether the impairment is due to credit losses by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows of the security with its amortized cost basis. The amount of impairment recognized is limited to the excess of the amortized cost over the fair value of the security. An allowance for credit losses for the excess of amortized cost over the expected cash flows is recorded in other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Impairment losses that are not credit-related are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

 

Warrant Liabilities

The Company's Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants were classified as liabilities (see Note 8). At the end of each reporting period, any changes in fair value during the period are recognized in other income within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liabilities for changes in the fair value until the earlier of a) the exercise or expiration of the warrants or b) the redemption of the warrants, at which time such warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential dilutive securities. Since the Company was in a loss position for the periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive. The following table presents the potential common stock outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as of the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive (in thousands):

Note 3. Recapitalization

 

On August 11, 2021, Consonance consummated the Business Combination (see Note 1). Immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, certain investors subscribed for and purchased an aggregate of 12.0 million units, each consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant, for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit through a private investment in public entity financing, or PIPE Financing. In connection with the Business Combination and PIPE Financing, Legacy Surrozen received the aggregate cash consideration of $128.8 million, after deducting the transaction fees incurred by Consonance. The cash consideration was comprised of $8.6 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock upon the closing of the Business Combination and $120.2 million in proceeds from the PIPE Financing. The Company incurred transaction costs of $6.3 million, consisting of legal, accounting and other professional services directly related to the Business Combination, $0.4 million of which were allocated to the warrant liabilities assumed and recognized as other expenses when incurred. The remaining $5.9 million were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Legacy Surrozen was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination and the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization based on the following predominant factors:

 

Legacy Surrozen’s stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the Company;
The Company’s board and senior management are primarily composed of individuals associated with Legacy Surrozen; and
Legacy Surrozen is the larger entity based on historical operating activity and has the larger employee base at the time of the Business Combination.

 

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Surrozen issuing stock for the net assets of Consonance, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Consonance are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the closing of the Business Combination, (i) each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock of Legacy Surrozen (on an as converted to common stock basis) and each share of common stock of Legacy Surrozen, whether vested or unvested, was converted into 0.175648535 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) each outstanding option to purchase common stock of Legacy Surrozen was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.175648535, or the Exchange Ratio, with corresponding adjustments to the exercise price. All issued and outstanding common stock, preferred stock and stock awards of Legacy Surrozen and corresponding capital amounts contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented prior to the closing of the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the conversion.

(2)
See the definition and discussion of Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants in Note 9.

There were no changes to the valuation methods utilized and there were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Corporate bonds, commercial paper, foreign bonds and government bonds are classified as Level 2 as they were valued based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.

8


 

 

The Public Warrants are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of observable market data for identical or similar liabilities. The fair value of each Private Placement Warrant and PIPE Warrant was determined to be consistent with that of a Public Warrant because the Private Placement Warrants and PIPE Warrants are also subject to the make-whole redemption feature, which allows the Company to redeem both types of warrants on similar terms when the stock price is in the range of $10 to $18 per share.
