REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Adagio
Medical, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Adagio Medical, Inc. as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Adagio Medical, Inc. as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Restatement
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2023 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a material misstatement.
Emphasis of the Matter - Restatement of Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been restated to correct a material misstatement.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Adagio Medical, Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
2
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Adagio Medical, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business
Adagio Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Company") is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia. The Company's technologies center on ultra-low temperature cryoablation ("ULTC") and pulsed field cryoablation ("PFCA"), designed to produce durable, contiguous, transmural lesions anywhere in the heart using the Company's proprietary consoles, catheters, and stylets. The Company received CE Marking in Europe for its iCLAS™ Cryoablation System in June 2020 and has commercially launched in the EU. The Company has not launched commercially in the U.S. but is working towards obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to do so.
The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2011, and is headquartered in Laguna Hills, California. Adagio Medical GmbH was formed in March 2020 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides direct sales, distribution, marketing services, and clinical trial management in Europe.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has limited revenue and has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and anticipates that it will continue to do so for at least the next several years. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net losses were $36.6 million and $23.7 million, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $133.6 million and $97.1 million, respectively, and working capital deficit of $42.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
Management does not believe the Company's current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that this raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management intends to mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern entity by (i) pursuing a public offering of its common stock or in a business combination (the "SPAC transaction") with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (the "SPAC") to obtain additional capital and align the Company's long-term operating strategy (refer to Note 18-Subsequent Events for further detail), (ii) negotiate other cash equity or debt financing in the short-term, and (iii) continue to pursue the necessary regulatory approvals to launch commercially in the U.S. market. However, there can be no assurances that the current plans will generate any liquidity to the Company or be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. The Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
8
Strategic Realignment of Resources and Corporate Restructuring
On December 1, 2023, the Company's management approved a strategic realignment of resources and corporate restructuring (the "RIF") designed to reallocate capital, conformant to its business focus for the next two years.
As part of the RIF, the Company initiated a reduction in its current workforce of 20 employees, representing approximately 19% of the Company's employees, which was completed on December 15, 2023. In compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Company has provided termination notices to affected employees and government authorities if required.
The Company made no payment for severance or related benefit costs. The Company made no payment of retention bonuses.

Note 2 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has restated the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. This error does not impact the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Description of Restatement Error
As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, ("ASC 825"), the Company elected the fair value option to account for the convertible promissory notes. In previously issued financial statements, the Company recorded adjustments to the fair value of these instruments, including related accrued interest in "Convertible notes payables, current" in the liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 with an offsetting entry to "Convertible notes fair value adjustment" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. However, the Company also separately recorded amounts relating to accrued interest on convertible promissory notes in the "Other accrued liabilities" and "Interest expense" accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, respectively, effectively duplicating the impact to the liability and expense in recording accrued interest relating to the convertible promissory notes.
As a result, the Company restated the financials by reducing the amount of accrued interest recorded in "Convertible notes payables, current" and "Convertible notes fair value adjustment" to relieve the impact of this duplicate recording. In the restated financials, the change in fair value of the convertible promissory notes, excluding amounts related to interest, is recorded in "Convertible notes fair value adjustment", while amounts related to interest are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act").
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Adagio Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates as one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.
12
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, including its money market account, to be cash equivalents. All of the Company's cash equivalents have liquid markets. Cash deposits held in accounts at each United States financial institution are insured up to $0.25 million by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Cash deposits held in accounts at each European Union financial institution are insured up to €0.1 million by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed FDIC insured limits. Any loss incurred or lack of access to uninsured funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Management does not expect any losses on such accounts.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions; however, at times, deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits since inception.
On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which immediately appointed the FDIC as receiver. SVB held $0.5 million of the Company's cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023. The Company's full exposure was ultimately covered by the FDIC and no loss was incurred.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates product revenue primarily from the sale of cryoablation catheters, stylets, esophageal warming balloons, and other accessories (collectively, the "Consumables") used with the Company's cryoablation consoles ("Consoles"). The Company sells its products directly to hospitals and medical centers. To a lesser extent, the Company also generates lease revenue from the implied rental of Consoles loaned to customers at no charge.
The Company accounts for revenue earned from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue from sales to customers applying the following five steps:
● | Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer. |
● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. |
● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price. |
● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. |
● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when, or as, the company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company's customer contracts generally have performance obligations that contain deliverables consisting of the Consumables and may also include Consoles loaned to customers. The Company evaluates each promise within a multiple-performance obligation arrangement to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation. The primary performance obligations in the Company's customer arrangements from which it derives revenue is the sale of the Consumables.
When the Company loans the Console to the customer, it retains title to the Console at all times and does not require minimum purchase commitments from the customer related to any Consumables. In such cases, the Company invoices the customer for the Consumables based on customer orders received. Over time, the Company expects to recover the cost of the loaned Console through the customer's continued purchasing and use of additional Consumables. For these reasons, the Company has determined that part of the arrangement consideration for the Consumables is an implied rental payment for use of the Console. Therefore, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration between the lease components (i.e., the Console) and non-lease components (i.e., the Consumables) based on the relative estimated standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation consistent with ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606. Revenue allocated to the lease components was not material for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Revenue from sales to customers of the Consumables is classified as revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The delivery of the Consumables are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer (i.e., FOB Shipping Point). Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the product.
14
Other Revenue Considerations
Revenue is reported net of sales tax. The Company has made the accounting policy election not to recognize a separate performance obligation for the shipment of products to the customer but to account for it as fulfillment cost.
The Company's contracts primarily include fixed consideration. The Company only includes estimated variable amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Customers are generally required to pay within 30 days.
Any incremental costs to obtain contracts are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense as incurred due to the short duration of the Company's contracts.
The Company does not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are deemed immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. Additionally, the Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue was generated only from European markets.
15
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished products and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The method by which that amounts are removed from the inventory is first-in first-out ("FIFO"). Cost may include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed for potential impairment whenever indicators suggest that the cost of inventory exceeds the carrying value and management adjusts the inventory to its net realizable value. The Company also periodically evaluates inventory for estimated losses from excess quantities and obsolescence and writes down the cost of inventory to net realizable value at the time such determinations are made. Net realizable value is determined using the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Inventory used in research & development activities are expensed when incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the remaining life of the lease term. Specifically, Consoles have a five-year useful life.
Property and equipment includes equipment that is loaned to customers and located at customer premises. The Company retains ownership of the equipment held for evaluation by customers and has the right to remove the equipment if it is not being utilized according to expectations.
Concentrations
The Company had three suppliers exceed 10.0% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2023, representing 71.6% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had one supplier exceed 10.0% of total accounts payable, representing 17.1% of accounts payable.
The Company's five and ten largest suppliers accounted for approximately 45.0% and 54.3%, respectively, of the Company's expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company's five and ten largest suppliers accounted for approximately 23.0% and 31.8%, respectively, of the Company's expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset's carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Adagio Medical GmbH are recorded using the Euro as the designated functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which Adagio Medical GmbH operates. Consequently, transactions in currencies other than Euro are measured and recorded in Euro. Upon consolidation with the Company, its assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. Dollars at currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and its revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average currency exchange rates during the applicable reporting periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating this entity's financial statements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets and foreign currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
16
Leases
The Company accounts for its lease property under ASC 842. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate for collateralized borrowings based on the current economic environment, current borrowings, value of leases, currency in which the lease obligation is satisfied, rate sensitivity, lease term and materiality. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.
The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. A contract will be deemed to be or contain a lease if the contract conveys the right to control and direct the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company generally must also have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the property, plant, and equipment.
The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease agreement, when readily available, or its incremental borrowing rate as the basis to calculate the present value of future lease payments at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralize basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.
In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases. The Company adopted the policy election to exclude short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months from the initial recognition provisions of ASC 842. Refer to Note 10-Operating Leases for additional details.
The Company's implied rental agreements for its consoles qualify as operating leases and as such, revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue allocated to the lease components were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of the Company's products.
Cost of revenue also includes the depreciation expense of Consoles loaned to the customers.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, consulting fees, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel directly engaged in research and development activities, clinical trial expenses, equipment costs, material costs, allocated rent and facilities costs, and depreciation. Research and development expenses relating to possible future products are expensed as incurred. The Company also accrues and expenses costs for activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties as incurred.
17
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative consist primarily of salaries, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services, marketing costs and insurance costs. The Company expenses all selling, general, and administrative costs as incurred.
Accrued Transaction Costs
In connection with the expected Transaction (as defined in Note 8-Debt), the Company accrued transaction costs, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees, which was incurred and expensed as of December 31, 2023, but not yet paid. The accrued expenses are recorded in accrued transaction costs on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy is used in determining the inputs for measuring fair value:
● | Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2-Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. |
● | Level 3-Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and consist of financial instruments valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. |
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The fair value of the convertible notes payable may be impacted by certain unobservable inputs, most significantly with regard to discount rates, expected volatility and historical and projected performance. Significant changes to these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly different fair value measurement.
18
Fair Value Option for Convertible Notes
As permitted under ASC 825, the Company elected the fair value option to account for the convertible promissory notes issued in October 2022 (the "October 2022 Convertible Notes"), April 2023 (the "April 2023 Convertible Notes"), and November 2023 (the "November 2023 Convertible Notes") in order to measure those liabilities at amounts that more accurately reflect the current economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes, April 2023 Convertible Notes, and November 2023 Convertible Notes at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasures them to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the issuance of the October 2022 Convertible Notes, April 2023 Convertible Notes, and November 2023 Convertible Notes were expensed as incurred (i.e., not recognized as deferred costs). Refer to Note 4-Fair Value Measurements for further detail.
The change in fair value of the convertible promissory notes, excluding amounts related to interest, is recorded in "Convertible notes fair value adjustment", while amounts related to interest are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Warrants
The Company accounts for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, on the consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815").
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Changes in fair value are recognized as warrant liabilities fair value adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The liability is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period. See Note 9-Warrants for additional information related to the warrants.
Term Loan
The Company accounts for the term loan at residual value on the date of issuance. The expected life of the term loan is the contractual term ending on the maturity date. The Company classifies the term loan as current liabilities within twelve months of the maturity date or when otherwise due. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the contractual term of the loan. See Note 8-Debt for additional information related to the term loan.
19
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company records convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are outside the Company's control, including a deemed liquidation event, holders of the convertible preferred stock can cause redemption for cash. Each share of preferred stock would automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate immediately upon the earlier of (i) the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting as a separate class on an as-converted to common stock basis, or (ii) the closing of the sale of the Company's common stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with aggregate offering proceeds to the Company (before deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance) of at least $75.0 million and a public offering price per share equal to at least $67.83 (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events).
As the preferred stock is considered to be contingently redeemable, the preferred stock has been classified outside of permanent equity. The preferred stock will be accreted to its redemption value if the deemed liquidation events are considered probable of occurring.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value, which is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends in addition to the Company's common stock valuation. Refer to Note 13-Stock-Based Compensation.
Due to the absence of an active market for the Company's common stock, the Company utilized methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to estimate the fair value of its common stock. In determining the exercise prices for options granted, the Company considered the fair value of the common stock as of the grant date. The fair value of the common stock is determined based upon a variety of factors, including the Company's financial position, historical performance and operating results, the Company's stage of development, the progress of the Company's research and development programs, the prices at which the Company sold its convertible preferred stock, the superior rights, preferences and privileges of the Company's convertible preferred stock relative to its common stock, external market conditions affecting the medical technologies industry, the lack of marketability of the Company's common stock, prospects of a transaction and market performance of peer companies. Significant changes to the key assumptions underlying the factors used could result in different fair values of the Company at each valuation date.
20
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse and include Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryforwards and Research and Development ("R&D") tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances.
The Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes in the first quarter of 2021 and has recorded franchise taxes not based on income outside of income tax expense. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheets and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits. Refer to Note 15-Income Taxes for additional details.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU l2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a "current expected credit loss" model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for smaller reporting companies in 2023. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2023, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
21
Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company's financial instruments include its money market accounts (included as part of cash and cash equivalents), accounts receivable, accounts payable, common stock warrant liabilities, and convertible notes payables. The recorded carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The convertible notes and common stock warrant liabilities are carried at fair value.
Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consists of cash equivalents, common stock warrant liabilities, and convertible notes payables. These items are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy for each class of instrument (in thousands):

On April 4, 2023 and November 28, 2023, the October 2022 Convertible Notes were amended. Refer to Note 8-Debt for details.
On April 4, 2023, the Company issued a $5.0 million convertible promissory note that matures on the later of January 5, 2024, or the occurrence of certain events. The April 2023 Convertible Notes accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum. Additionally, the Company obtained the right to issue up to $10.0 million in additional convertible promissory notes available beginning one month after April 4, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to a transaction. On November 28, 2023, the April 2023 Convertible Notes were amended. Refer to Note 8-Debt for details.
On November 28, 2023, the Company issued a $2.0 million convertible promissory note that matures on the later of January 5, 2024, or the occurrence of certain events. The November 2023 Convertible Notes accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum. Additionally, the Company obtained the right to issue up to $6.0 million in additional convertible promissory notes ("Delayed Draw Commitment") available beginning one month after November 28, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to a transaction. On December 13, 2023 and December 28, 2023, the November 2023 Convertible Notes were amended. Refer to Note 8-Debt for details.
The Company measures the October 2022 Convertible Notes, April 2023 Convertible Notes, and November 2023 Convertible Notes (collectively, "Convertible Notes") at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the Convertible Notes related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
In determining the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2023, the Company applied the probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM"). The PWERM determines the value of an instrument based upon an analysis of future values for the potential instrument payouts under different future outcomes. The instrument value is based upon the present value of the probability of each future outcome becoming available to the instrument holders, and the rights of each security.

On April 4, 2023, the October 2022 Convertible Notes, which had an original maturity date of October 27, 2023, were subsequently amended to extend the maturity date to the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between the Company and ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV ("ARYA") in connection with a non-binding summary of certain proposed terms and conditions of a potential business combination (the "Transaction"), or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above.
The October 2022 Convertible Notes agreement was also amended to subordinate the October 2022 Convertible Notes to the April 2023 Convertible Notes (as described below) and provide for the conversion of all principal and accrued interest in respect of all the October 2022 Convertible Notes into shares of Series E Preferred Stock of the Company in connection with the Transaction.
In the event of the consummation of the Transaction, all principal and accrued interest in respect of the October 2022 Convertible Notes shall be converted into the type of securities that are issued in the Private Investment in Public Equity Financing ("PIPE Financing") in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest under the October 2022 Convertible Notes, divided by seventy-five percent (75%) of the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.
In the event of the sale of equity securities in the Company's next round of equity financing of at least $10.0 million (excluding conversion of the October 2022 Convertible Notes) prior to the maturity date (a "Qualified Financing"), all principal and accrued interest shall be converted into shares or units of the same class or series as are sold in the Qualified Financing.
In the event of the sale of equity securities in the Company's next round of equity financing prior to the maturity date that is not a Qualified Financing ("Non-Qualified Financing"), the notes will automatically convert into shares or units of the same class or series as are sold in such Non-Qualified Financing.
For the conversion under both Qualified Financing and Non-Qualified Financing, the per share/unit conversion price for such equity securities shall be the lesser of (i) seventy-five percent (75%) of the average per share/unit price in such equity financing and (ii) an amount equal to $146.9 million divided by the number of fully diluted common stock (or unit) equivalents at the time of the Qualified Financing or Non-Qualified Financing. In the event that (i) or (ii) applies, the Company may create a sub-series of the preferred security on identical terms to the security issued in the Qualified Financing or Non-Qualified Financing, except that the aggregate liquidation preference of the sub-series will equal the total principal and accrued interest under the notes at the time of conversion.
In the event there is no subsequent round of financing, the notes would become due and payable.
On November 28, 2023, the October 2022 Convertible Notes agreement was further amended to subordinate the October 2022 Convertible Notes to the November 2023 Convertible Notes (as described below). In addition, in the event of the consummation of the Transaction, all principal and accrued interest in respect of the October 2022 Convertible Notes shall be converted into shares of the Company's common stock, when multiplied by the exchange ratio applicable to the Company's common stock in the Transaction, will entitle the holder of this note to receive a number of shares of the same class of common stock that are issued in the PIPE Financing equal to the then outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest under this note, divided by 75% of the effective price of each share of common stock sold in the PIPE Financing.

Authorized Shares
The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of two classes of stock designated as common and preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.001 per share. The number of shares authorized as of December 31, 2023 is 11,534,892 consisting of 6,594,946 shares of common stock and 4,939,946 shares of preferred stock, designated as Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, and Series E preferred stock in the amounts included in the table below.
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company classifies convertible preferred stock as temporary equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as all such preferred stock is redeemable either at the option of the holder or upon an event outside the control of the Company. The requirements of a deemed liquidation event, as defined within its amended and restated certificate of incorporation filed in November 2020, are not entirely within the Company's control. In the event of such a deemed liquidation event, the proceeds from the event are distributed in accordance with the liquidation preferences, provided that the holders of preferred stock have not converted their shares into common stock. The Company records the issuance of preferred stock at the issuance price less related issuance costs. The Company has not adjusted the carrying value of outstanding preferred stock to its liquidation preference because a deemed liquidation event is not probable of occurring as of the end of the reporting period.

Preferred Stock - Dividends
Prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends to the holders of common stock, the holders of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of any assets legally available therefor, at the rate of eight percent (8.0%) of the original issue price per share per annum.

In the event that the dividend amount declared by the Board of Directors of the Company is insufficient to permit payment of the full aforesaid dividends, such dividends will be paid ratably to each holder of preferred stock in proportion to the dividend amounts to which each holder of preferred stock is entitled. After payment of the full amount of the aforesaid dividends, any additional dividends declared shall be distributed to the holder of common stock and preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that would be held by such holder on an as-converted to common stock basis.

After payment has been made to the holders of the preferred stock of the full amounts to which they are entitled as noted above, the remaining assets would be distributed among the holders of the common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each holder.
If, at the time of liquidation, the assets are insufficient to permit full payment of the liquidation preferences of the series listed in the order above, the assets must be distributed ratably among the holders of the series in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive in respect to such shares.

The 2022 Plan is intended as the successor to and continuation of the 2012 Plan (thereafter both the 2012 and 2022 Plans are referred to as the "Stock Incentive Plan").
The Stock Incentive Plan provides a means whereby participants may purchase shares of common stock pursuant to ISOs or NSOs and such persons may be granted shares of common stock for consideration consisting of cash and/or past services rendered to or on behalf of the Company. ISOs may only be granted to employees. NSOs and stock purchase rights may be granted to employees and consultants. Generally, options awards only have service conditions that need to be met for the awards to vest, with the exception of grants to two non-employees that had performance obligations that were deemed to be immaterial.
The stock options generally vest over four years and have a ten-year contractual term. The fair value of each employee and non-employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As the Company lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information required for valuation, the Company estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected life term of ISOs that were granted after 2013 was determined using the "simplified method" provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletins Number 107 and 110. The expected life term of NSOs is determined either by using the "simplified method," or by calculating the time to expiry from the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has never paid nor does it expect to pay any cash dividend in the near future.
The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock option granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are listed in the table below:

The Company received $18.3 thousand and $25.4 thousand related to stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Certain stock option grants under the Stock Incentive Plan allow the recipient to exercise the options prior to the options becoming fully vested. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company retains the right to repurchase common shares that have been issued upon early exercise of options at the original issue price. Cash received for the early exercise of unvested stock options is initially recorded as a liability. At each reporting date, the vested shares are released to equity.
The total Intrinsic value for stock options exercised was $30.2 thousand and $64.9 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair value of awards vested was $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested stock option awards granted was $0.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years.

Note 14 - Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share excludes the potential impact of the Company's convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants, and common stock options because the Company's net losses would cause such shares to be anti-dilutive. Therefore, as the Company recorded net losses in the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the years presented (in thousands, except share and per share data):

There was no income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Current income taxes are based upon the year's income taxable for federal, state and foreign tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided for certain income and expenses which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income, and include NOL carryforwards and R&D tax credit carryforwards.

The Company has established a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 to fully offset the net deferred tax assets of $32.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as the Company's projections for future commercialization. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have sufficient foreseeable taxable income to allow for the utilization of the deferred tax assets; therefore, a full valuation allowance has been established to reduce the net deferred tax assets to zero at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $100.0 million and $84.8 million, respectively. $19.0 million of the federal NOL carryforwards will begin to expire from 2031. Due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, federal net operating losses generated beginning in 2018 are carried forward indefinitely. Therefore, the remaining federal NOL carry forwards of $81.0 million and $65.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, have an unlimited carryover period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had state NOL carryforwards of $53.4 million and $53.4 million, respectively, which will begin to expire from 2031. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had a NOL from Adagio Medical GmbH of $249.3 thousand and $138.7 thousand, respectively. The NOLs are carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company also had net federal R&D tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The federal R&D tax credits will begin to expire in 2038. The Company had no state R&D credits.
41
The Company's tax attribute carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carryforwards that can be used annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an "ownership change" as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company's formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such study, and the fact that there may be additional such ownership changes in the future. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards or R&D tax credit carryforwards before utilization; however, such limitation, if any, would not have an impact on the Company's financial statement due to the full valuation allowance.
The Company conducts intensive research and experimentation activities, generating R&D tax credits for federal purposes under Section 41 of the Code. The Company has performed a formal study validating these credits claimed in the tax returns.
The following table summarizes the changes to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million of which $0.5 million will affect the effective tax rate if recognized when the Company no longer has a valuation allowance offsetting its deferred tax assets.
The Company does not anticipate that there will be a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal and various state tax as well as Germany tax jurisdictions. Since the Company formed in 2011, all filed tax returns are subject to examination. Generally, the tax years remain open for examination by the federal statute under a three-year statute of limitation; however, states generally keep their statutes open between three and four years. However, the Company's tax years from inception are subject to examination by the United States and various state taxing authorities due to the carry forward of unused NOLs and R&D credits.
Enacted in December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA") amended Section 174 to require capitalization of all research and experimental ("R&E") costs incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, R&E costs must be amortized over five years if the R&E activities are performed in the U.S., or over 15 years if the activities are performed outside of the U.S., beginning with the midpoint of the tax year in which the costs were paid or incurred. During 2023, the Company capitalized $15.5 million of R&E costs. The Company plans to refine the calculation for Section 174 and make an adjustment on the tax return.
