1. Organizational Structure and Basis of Presentation

 

Organizational Structure

 

On October 10, 2025, Scorpius Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company” or “Scorpius”) received a Notice of Public Disposition under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC Notice”) from the collateral agent on behalf of the holders of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes (the “Collateral Agent”). The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes were in default and secured by a lien on all of the Company’s assets. The UCC Notice established the timing and location of a foreclosure sale of all or a portion of the Company’s pledged collateral, which occurred on November 24, 2025. The Collateral Agent closed on the sale of substantially all assets of the Company on December 10, 2025 for $16,253,147. See Note 7 Debt and Note 13 Subsequent Events for details of the allocation of proceeds from the foreclosure sale as well as the aggregate obligations remaining after the application of those proceeds. Upon the closing, the Company has no or nominal operations and no or nominal assets.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of future or annual results.

 

Unless otherwise noted, all share amounts and per share data in prior period interim consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-200 reverse stock split that occurred on July 17, 2024.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $303.0 million as of September 30, 2025; a net loss of approximately $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025; and has not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations. As further described in Note 7 Debt, the Company is in default on the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party as a result of, among other things, its failure to repay amounts when due. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

As a result of the foreclosure sale of substantially all assets of the Company by the Collateral Agent on November 24, 2025, Scorpius does not have any assets that can generate revenue, and therefore, management does not anticipate generating any revenue from operations in the near term. Management does not expect to generate revenue unless and until the Company consummates a strategic transaction such as a reverse merger or asset acquisition. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to find a merger candidate or funding to acquire other assets. If the Company is unable to find financing or undertake a strategic alternative, it may need to file for bankruptcy, liquidate, reorganize, or a combination of the foregoing.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurable limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to such balances and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2025, uninsured amounts totaled approximately $70,000. As of December 31, 2024, one account balance was approximately $940,000, resulting in an uninsured balance of approximately $690,000.

 

 

 

 7 

 

 

Other Assets

 

The balance at December 31, 2024 consists of $0.2 million of land option agreements related to the location for a potential Kansas commercial CDMO facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the agreements expired and plans for the facility were abandoned with the related charge recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expense.

 

Contingent Earn-Out Receivable, Related Party and Related Party Receivable

 

Contingent earn-out receivable, related party represented the estimated fair value of royalty earnout payments related to consideration from the divestiture of Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Elusys”) to Elusys Holdings, Inc. (“Elusys Holdings”), a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jeffrey Wolf.

 

The contingent earn-out provisions were prescribed by the Asset and Equity Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 11, 2023, by and between Elusys Holdings and the Company.

 

On July 30, 2024, the Purchase Agreement was amended (the “First Amendment”) which, among other provisions, restructured the contingent earn-out to a fixed $2.5 million to be paid on or before December 31, 2028, resulting in a reclassification of the receivable to related party receivable. On March 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Purchase Agreement whereby the $2.5 million payment obligation was settled in exchange for $550,000 paid by Elusys Holdings to the Company. The Company recognized a loss on settlement of related party receivable of nil and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, corresponding to the estimated fair value of the related party receivable immediately prior to the Second Amendment.

 

Convertible and Non-convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party

 

The Company accounts for its convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under ASC 815-15-25, an election can be made at the inception of a financial instrument to measure the instrument at fair value (the “fair value option”) under ASC 825 as long as no part of the financial instrument is classified as a component of equity. The Company has determined all relevant criteria have been met and has made such election for its convertible promissory notes, related party because the election allows the Company to present a single liability, inclusive of embedded features which might otherwise require separate recognition. The election has been made for non-convertible promissory notes, related party, to provide consistency across all eligible financial instruments. As a result, these promissory notes are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and remeasured at each balance sheet date thereafter. Subsequent changes in their estimated fair value are recognized as a change in the fair value of the convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party, in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company does not separately report interest attributable to financial instruments accounted for pursuant to the fair value option because such interest is included in the determination of fair value of those financial instruments and changes thereto. The change in fair value attributable to the change in the instrument-specific credit risk, if any, is presented separately in other comprehensive income. No such amounts were reported in other comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Modifications of Debt Instruments

 

Modifications or exchanges of debt, which are not considered a troubled debt restructuring, are considered extinguishments if the terms of the new debt and the original instrument are substantially different. The instruments are considered substantially different when the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument are at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt is initially recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment gain or loss.

Segment Information

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

The CODM views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment, focused on contract development and manufacturing. The segment-level financial statement information is the same as the financial information presented in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on revenue and net loss as reported on the Statement of Operations, after taking into account the Company’s strategic priorities, its cash balance and its expected use of cash. Segment revenue is primarily derived from process development to Current Good Manufacturing Practices clinical and commercial manufacturing of biologics for the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

 

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements, including its footnote disclosures.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which is intended to improve the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The amendments in the update clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments also make additional clarifications to assist stakeholders in applying the guidance, including a clarification that the induced conversion guidance applies to a convertible debt instrument that is not currently convertible as long as it had a substantive conversion feature as of both its issuance date and the date the inducement offer is accepted. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments of ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments may be applied on either a prospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements, including its footnote disclosures.

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in the update provide a practical expedient to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. The guidance is intended to improve financial reporting about government grants received by business entities by clarifying the appropriate accounting, reducing diversity in practice, and increasing consistency across business entities. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods with early adoption permitted. The amendments require a combination of modified prospective and modified retrospective application approaches, depending on the timing of the execution and completion of government grants, and a retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period present. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarify when the guidance of Topic 270 is applicable, including what disclosures should be provided in interim periods.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncement has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As a basis for determining the fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company utilizes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level I – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level II – Observable inputs, other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices 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 the assets or liabilities.

 

Level III – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the entire fair value measurement requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these assets or liabilities. Cash equivalents are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term investments consist of Level I securities which are comprised of highly liquid money market funds. The estimated fair value of the short-term investments is based on quoted market prices. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

The fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis is as follows:

                 
   As of September 30, 2025 
Description  Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Assets:

Adjustments associated with changes in fair value are the result of changes to both observable and unobservable inputs used in the measurement of fair value, which are reassessed at each reporting period. The unobservable inputs are reflected in the following tables, which present quantitative information about the inputs and valuation methodologies used for the Company’s fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

               
    As of September 30, 2025
    Valuation Methodology   Significant Input   Weighted Average (range, if applicable)

(1)Represents significant unobservable input

 

(2)On September 9, 2025 and in connection with the Notice of Default (defined in Note 7 Debt) received on that date, the Company began using an estimated recovery value analysis in place of a Monte Carlo simulation model as the valuation technique. The recovery rate used was based, in part, on the Moody’s corporate default and recovery rates and adjusted for factors such as the nature of the underlying collateral and seniority of the debt. Prior to September 9, 2025, the valuation technique used Monte Carlo simulation trials through a lattice model incorporating geometric Brownian motion. The simulations were weighted based on projected future stock prices, the volatility of a set of guideline companies, and significant unobservable inputs. Each simulation was based on the range of inputs in a scenario with the mean of the output on each simulation calculated as an average. In addition to the significant unobservable inputs in the preceding table, the Monte Carlo simulations included assumptions related to the timing and probability of i) a fundamental transaction and ii) an eligible subsequent placement, both as defined by the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party.

Restated Elusys Convertible Note, Related Party

 

The Restated Elusys Convertible Note, Related Party, as more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 30, 2025, was originally issued on January 26, 2024 with a maturity date of September 1, 2025 to Elusys Holdings, Inc., a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Jeffrey Wolf, in connection with the divestiture of Elusys Therapeutics. On December 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note to extend the maturity date of the Restated Elusys Convertible Note, Related Party to March 1, 2026.

 

Convertible Debt with Warrant Offering (in Default)

 

On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2024 Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which it agreed to issue, in a private placement offering (the “December 2024 Offering”), upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the December 2024 Purchase Agreement, 9% senior secured convertible notes (the “December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party”) in the aggregate principal amount of $13,388,889, and warrants (the “December 2024 Common Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 13,388,889 shares of common stock, to the institutional investors for an aggregate purchase price of $12,050,000.

 

The Company received net proceeds from the December 2024 Offering of approximately $3.0 million, net of i) $8.5 million that was used to repurchase 8,500,000 pre-funded warrants that had been issued to institutional investors in connection with a public offering on August 19, 2024 (the “Repurchased PFWs”) and ii) approximately $225,000 to pay off all principal and accrued interest of a non-convertible note that had been issued in November 2024. In connection with the December 2024 Offering, the Company agreed to reimburse the institutional investors for all costs and expenses incurred by them or their affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the December 2024 Purchase Agreement, up to a total amount of $50,000. ThinkEquity acted as placement agent in the December 2024 Offering. In connection with the closing of the December 2024 Offering, the Company paid a placement fee of $285,000 to ThinkEquity, equal to 8% of the net proceeds of the December 2024 Offering paid to the Company, net of the amount used to repurchase the Repurchased PFWs and the amount of the original issue discount.

 

In connection with the December 2024 Purchase Agreement, the Company, each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and the institutional investors entered into a security agreement, pursuant to which the Company and each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries granted security interests in substantially all of the Company’s assets to secure the obligations of the Company under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and the December 2024 Purchase Agreement. Each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries also executed and delivered a subsidiary guarantee, pursuant to which they agreed to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and act as surety for payment of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party.

 

The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party mature on the third anniversary of their date of issuance, or December 6, 2027, unless prior thereto there is an event of default (see below), and bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum payable in cash on the first business day of each fiscal quarter beginning January 2, 2025. In connection with any redemption, conversion, or prepayment of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party, the institutional investors are entitled to an amount equal to the additional interest that would accrue under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party assuming that the original principal remained outstanding through and including the maturity date (the “Make-Whole Amount”), initially $3,615,000.

 

The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into a number of shares of common stock equal to the principal amount of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party plus all accrued and unpaid interest, subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events and subject to an Exchange Cap (as defined below) and other limitations (the “December 2024 Conversion Price”). The initial conversion price was equal to $0.50, which was adjusted by amendment to $0.25 in February 2025 for both institutional investors. For one institutional investor holding a December 2024 Secured Convertible Note, Related Party with an aggregate original principal balance of $12,416,667, the conversion price was further adjusted by amendment in May 2025 to $0.06 and in July 2025 to the lower of i) $0.06 or ii) 55% of the average of the three lowest traded prices during the preceding twenty days immediately prior to conversion (the “Market Price”). Terms of the February 2025 and May 2025 amendments were considered not substantially different than the terms immediately prior to the respective amendments, and these amendments were accounted for as modifications of the debt. Terms of the July 2025 amendment were considered substantially different than the terms immediately prior to the amendment and thus, $2,647,000 was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Losses on extinguishment of other debt instruments of $730,000 and $560,000 were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 2024, respectively.

The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party contain customary events of default, including the failure of Jeffrey Wolf to remain as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, unless an individual reasonably acceptable to the institutional investors has been appointed to replace Mr. Wolf within thirty (30) days of such occurrence, unless the institutional investors extend such deadline for an additional thirty (30) days at their sole discretion. If an event of default occurs, until it is cured, the institutional investors may increase the interest rate applicable to the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party to 15% per annum. If an event of default occurs, the institutional investors may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such event of default has been cured) all or any portion of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party. Subject to limited exceptions set forth in the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party, the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party prohibit the Company and, as applicable, its subsidiaries from incurring any new indebtedness. The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party also provide that the Company shall, while the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party remain outstanding, maintain a net monthly cash burn of not more than $1,800,000, calculated on an average trailing-three-month basis, decreasing by increments of $500,000 every three-months.

 

The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party are redeemable by the Company at a redemption price equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest, if any. While the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party are outstanding, if the Company enters into a subsequent placement (as such term is defined in the December 2024 Purchase Agreement), each of the institutional investors shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to require the Company to redeem all, or any portion, of the amount due under their December 2024 Secured Convertible Note, Related Party in an amount not in excess of the institutional investor’s pro rata amount of 25% of the gross proceeds of such subsequent placement.

 

On September 9, 2025, the Company received a notice of default and acceleration letter (“Notice of Default”) from the institutional investors for, among other things, the Company’s failure to maintain an effective and available applicable registration statement in accordance with the terms of the December 2024 Purchase Agreement, the failure of the Company’s common stock to remain listed on an eligible market for a period of more than ten (10) consecutive trading days and the failure to make payments when and as due. With the Notice of Default, all amounts owed under the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party in the aggregate amount of $19,376,084 were due and payable as described below in the section Default and Foreclosure Sale.

 

The December 2024 Common Warrants expire five years from their date of issuance. The December 2024 Common Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the holder, at any time, for up to an aggregate of 13,388,889 shares of common stock at an exercise price, subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events and subject to the Exchange Cap (the “December 2024 Exercise Price”). The initial exercise price was equal to $0.50, which was adjusted by amendment to $0.25 in February 2025 for both institutional investors. The exercise price was further adjusted by amendment to $0.06 in May 2025 for one institutional investor holding warrants for the exercise of up to 12,416,667 shares of common stock. Terms of the February 2025 and May 2025 amendments were considered substantially different than the terms immediately prior to the respective amendments and thus, $0 and $279,000 was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of warrant liability for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Terms of the July 2025 amendment were considered not substantially different than the terms immediately prior to the amendment and this amendment was accounted for as modification of the warrant liability. No losses on extinguishment of warrant liability were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 2024. The adjustments to the December 2024 Exercise Price did not change the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the December 2024 Common Warrants. The December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and the December 2024 Common Warrants provide for the December 2024 Conversion Price and the December 2024 Exercise Price, respectively, to be adjusted in various circumstances. The December 2024 Common Warrants provide for cashless exercise under certain circumstances.

 

The number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and exercise of the December 2024 Common Warrants, and inclusive of any shares issuable under and in respect of the December 2024 Purchase Agreement, was subject to an exchange cap (the “Exchange Cap”) of 865,820 shares, which was 19.99% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock as of December 6, 2024, unless the Company obtained approval from its stockholders. Approval was obtained January 16, 2025.

 

If the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party, including accrued but unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount, were to be fully converted into shares of common stock at the December 2024 Conversion Price in effect as of September 30, 2025 and assuming no Exchange Cap or any other limitations on conversion, the Company would issue 28,207,106,725 shares of common stock. In addition, under the terms of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and the December 2024 Common Warrants, the institutional investors may not convert the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party or exercise the December 2024 Common Warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such institutional investor, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock that would exceed 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”), of the Company’s then outstanding common stock following such conversion or exercise. On June 9, 2025, one institutional investor filed notice to increase the Maximum Percentage to 9.99%, effective August 9, 2025, applicable to the one institutional investor as permitted by the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party.

The amendments to the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and December 2024 Common Warrants also provide that any conversion and exercise is subject to authorization by NYSE American of a Supplemental Listing Application authorizing the issuance of shares of common stock in excess of 47,396,667 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and December 2024 Common Warrants that were previously authorized by NYSE American at the initial conversion and exercise price of $0.50 (with 13,388,889 shares of Common Stock allocated to exercise of the December 2024 Common Warrants and the remaining shares allocated to conversion of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 6,019,444 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with partial conversions of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party at conversion prices of $0.50 and $0.25 per share as reflected in the following table.

                     
           Make-         
   Principal   Interest   Whole   Total   Shares 
$0.50 conversion price  $833,042   $10,049   $165,345   $1,008,436    2,016,871 
$0.25 conversion price   899,659    7,347    93,637    1,000,643    4,002,573

Non-Convertible Debt (in Default)

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued sixteen non-convertible promissory notes with an aggregate original issuance of $7,839,083 to an institutional investor, and subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company issued fifteen non-convertible promissory notes with an aggregate original issuance of $2,722,649 to the same institutional investor (collectively, the “2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party”). Seven of the sixteen, with an aggregate original issuance of $3,229,083, were issued during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has elected the fair value option for measuring the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party. The fair value of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party was $1,280,000 and $4,160,000 upon issuance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, with the $1,949,083 and $3,679,083 premium recognized as a component of equity due to the related party nature of the transactions.

 

The 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party accrue interest at 5.0% per annum and mature at the earlier of i) the stated maturity date; ii) the consummation of a corporate event, as defined; or iii) when, upon or after an event of default (see below). The maturity of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, including those issued subsequent to September 30, 2025, range from 31 to 182 days from issuance with a weighted average of 92 days.

 

All payments upon maturity, redemption or prepayment of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party shall include, together with all other amounts of principal and/or interest, a premium payment equal to 5% of the principal amount. On April 30, 2025, the Company repaid $472,500 of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, including principal and premium of $450,000 and $22,500, respectively.

 

On October 6, 2025, the Company entered into a twelve-month credit facility with the holder of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party to borrow up to $5.0 million on terms comparable to the existing 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, except as noted below. In connection with this twelve-month credit facility, the Company entered into a security agreement to grant the holder of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party a security interest in certain property of the Company pari passu with the security interest held by holders of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party.

 

Upon the occurrence (and for the duration) of an event of default, those 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party issued on or after October 6, 2025 shall accrue interest at an increased rate of 10% per annum until such time as the event of default is cured or waived. The premium payment on those 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party issued on or after October 6, 2025 shall equal 15% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest.

 

The 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party contain customary events of default, including if the Company or any of its subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate, fails to pay indebtedness in excess of $150,000 due to any third party, subject to certain exceptions, or if an event of default occurs under any other outstanding promissory note. If at any time any of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party are outstanding the Company consummates a subsequent Financing, as defined, the holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeems the entire outstanding balance of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party, together with all accrued interest thereon, using up to 100% of the gross proceeds of such Financing.

With the Notice of Default received on September 9, 2025 and described above, all amounts owed under the thirteen then outstanding 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party in the aggregate amount of $10,789,561 were due and payable as described below in the section Default and Foreclosure Sale.

 

Default and Foreclosure Sale

 

In connection with the Notice of Default, the Company received on October 10, 2025 the UCC Notice from the Collateral Agent. The UCC Notice established the timing and location of a foreclosure sale of all or a portion of the Company’s pledged collateral, which occurred on November 24, 2025.

 

The Collateral Agent closed on the sale of certain assets pertaining to the Company’s CDMO biomanufacturing facility on December 10, 2025 for $16,253,147. The Collateral Agent received proceeds of $15,219,552, net of fees and expenses of $1,033,595, that were used to partially repay the Company’s secured debt as follows:

     
  

Allocation of

Proceeds (1)

 
2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party     
Principal  $9,391,765 
Accrued Interest   186,620 
Redemption Premium   725,288 
    10,303,673

Late Fees   126,846 
Redemption Premium   446,898 
    4,915,879 
Total Proceeds  $15,219,552 

 

Debt and related amounts in excess of the proceeds allocated bear interest at 12.5% per annum. The aggregate amount, inclusive of principal, interest, make-whole, late fees, and redemption premiums, owed to the holders of the December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party and 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party was $14.9 million immediately following the closing of the sale and allocation of proceeds as follows:

     
   Remaining (1) 
2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party (measured at amortized cost)  $485,888 
December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party (measured at amortized cost)   14,460,205 
   $14,946,093 
      
(1)As described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company accounts for its convertible and non-convertible promissory notes payable, related party under ASC 815 and has elected the fair value option under ASC 825. As a result, these instruments are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at each balance sheet date thereafter. Subsequent changes in their estimated fair value are recognized as a change in the fair value of the convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, related party, in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company does not separately report interest attributable to financial instruments accounted for pursuant to the fair value option because such interest is included in the determination of fair value of those financial instruments and changes thereto. The components of the proceeds allocation and the aggregate remaining amounts above have been presented on the accrual basis of accounting using amortized cost which is a different measurement principal than fair value. The Company has determined it impractical to estimate fair value of the components of the proceeds allocation and the aggregate remaining amounts above for inclusion in this filing.

 

Subsequent to the closing of the sale and through February 17, 2026, the Company issued five non-convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount together with an aggregate original issuance of $269,967 to the holder of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Private Investment in Public Entity

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received $1,942,650, net of fees of $7,550, from investors of a private placement offering in consideration of the issuance to be made to such investors of an aggregate of 48,755,000 shares of its common stock at $0.04 per share. The investments were made pursuant to a securities purchase agreement which contained customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the investors and customary conditions to closing.

 

Common Stock Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The Company’s common stock warrants allow for potential settlement in cash if certain extraordinary events are effected by the Company, including a 50% or greater change of control in the Company’s common stock. Except in relation to the December 2024 Common Warrants, those events have been deemed to be within the Company’s control. As a result, the Company applies equity treatment for its common stock warrants following the guidance established by ASC Topic 815-40, except for the December 2024 Common Warrants for which the Company applies liability treatment.

 

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding common stock warrants to purchase 13,688,001 shares of common stock issuable at a weighted average exercise price of $0.60 per share and $1.01 per share, respectively. The Company also had outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,285,000 shares of common stock issuable at a weighted average exercise price of $0.0002 per share as of December 31, 2024, all of which were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulting in no pre-funded warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $0.2 million as of September 30, 2025, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.2 years and will be adjusted for forfeitures as they occur.

 

The following is a summary of the stock option activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025:

                
       Weighted       Weighted
       Average   Aggregate   Average
       Exercise   Intrinsic   Remaining

9.  Revenue

 

CDMO revenue

 

The Company’s CDMO revenue is generated from a limited number of customers, which has resulted in a concentration of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The following tables reflect the Company’s CDMO customers with revenue in excess of 10% of total revenue for the applicable period.

         
Major Customers  Three Months Ended September 30, 2025   Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 
Customer A   92%    53% 
Customer B   *    17% 

 

Major Customers  Three Months Ended September 30, 2024   Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 
Customer B   26%    10% 
Customer C   33%    15% 
Customer D (1)   *    44% 

 

* . Less than 10% for the applicable period.

 

1 This customer migrated to a larger CDMO for commercial manufacture of their product during 2024.

 

The following table presents changes in contract liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

     
   Contract liabilities 
Balance at December 31, 2024  $1,466,094 
Reclassification to revenue as the result of performance obligations satisfied   (584,383)
Net change to contract balance recognized since beginning of period due to amounts collected   737,220 
Balance at September 30, 2025  $1,618,931 

 

   Contract liabilities 
Balance at  December 31, 2023  $2,389,441 
Reclassification to revenue as the result of performance obligations satisfied   (4,891,241)
Net change to contract balance recognized since beginning of period due to amounts collected   4,842,664 
Balance at September 30, 2024  $2,340,864 

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and contract liabilities (customer deposits and deferred revenue). Contract liabilities represent customer deposits and deferred revenue billed and/or received in advance of the Company’s fulfillment of performance obligations. Contract liabilities convert to revenue as the Company performs its obligations under the contract.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of nil and $0.2 million, respectively, that was included in the balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024.

 

 

 

 20 

 

 

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2025 totaled $4.5 million. Expectations for the timing of revenue recognition of this amount is dependent on various factors, including the Company’s ability to procure the necessary supplies and raw materials. Variable consideration excluded from the transaction price and, thus, not reflected in the amount generally relates to promises that leverage the assistance of third parties, such as clinical trials offices, in the fulfillment of the Company’s performance obligations to its customers. These activities are considered promises to transfer distinct goods or services that are part of single performance obligations.

 

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, all of which relate to CDMO revenue, are as follows:

     
Opening on January 1, 2024  $375,192 
Closing on December 31, 2024   143,469 
Closing on September 30, 2025   179,887 

 

Grant revenue

 

The Company recognized grant revenue associated with National Institutes of Health of $9,000 and $133,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $97,000 and $182,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

10. Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Fully diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. The Company applies the treasury stock method for stock options and warrants and the if-converted method for convertible debt when determining common equivalent shares. As the Company’s pre-funded warrants are issuable for little to no consideration and do not contain any conditions that must be satisfied for the holder to receive the shares, pre-funded warrants are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, all of the Company’s common stock options, convertible debt and, except for the pre-funded warrants described above, warrants are anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations.

 

The following table reconciles net loss to net loss attributable to Scorpius Holdings, Inc.:

                 
   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2025   2024   2025   2024 
Net loss  $(1,199,561)  $(10,545,752)  $(16,806,157)  $(24,487,149)
Net loss - non-controlling interest   (215,132)   (431,608)   (1,026,890)   (1,080,608)
Net loss attributable to Scorpius Holdings, Inc.  $(984,429)  $(10,114,144)  $(15,779,267)  $(23,406,541)
                     
Common shares   61,142,712    1,840,485    38,667,703    774,315 
Pre-funded warrants       5,215,283        1,751,117 
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted   61,142,712    7,055,768    38,667,703    2,525,432 
                     
Net loss per common share attributable to Scorpius Holdings, Inc., basic and diluted  $(0.02)  $(1.43)  $(0.41)  $(9.27)

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

Potentially dilutive common equivalent shares from the following securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:

         
   Three and Nine Months 
   Ended September 30, 
   2025   2024 
Outstanding stock options   62,054    62,316 
Outstanding common stock warrants   13,688,001    299,112 
December 2024 Secured Convertible Notes, Related Party   28,207,106,725     

 

11. Income Tax

 

Income taxes have been computed using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. The Company computes its interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate method. The Company estimates an annual effective tax rate of 0% for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 0%.

 

The Company incurred losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and is forecasting additional losses through the year, resulting in an estimated net loss for both financial statement and tax purposes for the year ending December 31, 2025. Due to the Company’s history of losses, there is not sufficient evidence to record a net deferred tax asset associated with the U.S., Australian, and German operations. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been recorded related to the net deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

 

At September 30, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

12. Leases

 

On March 7, 2025, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Lease (the “Lease Assignment”) with a third party assignee and the landlord pursuant to which the Company assigned all of its rights and obligations under its lease, dated June 21, 2021, as amended, for its former principal offices in Morrisville, North Carolina. In connection with the Lease Assignment, the Company incurred fees of $224,651 to its broker, $55,720 to the landlord for March 2025 rent due under the lease, and sold certain furniture, fixtures and equipment on the leased premises to the assignee for $55,720.

See Note 7 Debt for information related to non-convertible debt issued subsequent to September 30, 2025; the twelve-month, $5.0 million credit facility the Company entered into on October 6, 2025 with the holder of the 2025 Non-Convertible Promissory Notes, Related Party; the UCC Notice received on October 10, 2025; and details of the foreclosure sale on November 24, 2025 that closed December 10, 2025, including amounts outstanding immediately after proceeds from the foreclosure sale were used to partially repay the secured debt.

 

Upon the closing of the foreclosure sale by the Collateral Agent, the Company has no or nominal operations and no inventory, property, plant, and equipment, or operating lease right-of-use assets and nominal finance lease right-of-use assets and will therefore be unable to generate any revenue from operations in the near term. Additionally, the Company has no operating lease liabilities or finance lease liabilities.
