Note 1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (“ AzurRx ” or “ Parent ”) was incorporated on January 30, 2014 in the State of Delaware. In June 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AzurRx SAS (formerly “ ProteaBio Europe SAS ”), a company incorporated in October 2008 under the laws of France. AzurRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AzurRx SAS (“ ABS ”), are collectively referred to as the “ Company .”

The Company is engaged in the research and development of non-systemic biologics for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Non-systemic biologics are non-absorbable drugs that act locally, i.e. the intestinal lumen, skin or mucosa, without reaching an individual’s systemic circulation. The Company’s current product pipeline consists of two therapeutic proteins under development:

MS1819-SD

MS1819-SD is a yeast derived recombinant lipase for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (“ EPI ”) associated with chronic pancreatitis (“ CP ”) and cystic fibrosis (“ CF ”). A lipase is an enzyme that breaks up fat molecules. MS1819-SD is considered recombinant because it was created from new combinations of genetic material in yeast called Yarrowia lipolytica . In June 2018, the Company completed an open-label, dose escalation Phase 2a trial of MS1819-SD in France, Australia, and New Zealand to investigate both the safety of escalating doses of MS1819-SD, and the efficacy of MS1819-SD through the analysis of each patient’s coefficient of fat absorption (“ CFA ”) and its change from baseline. A total of 11 CP patients with EPI were enrolled in the study and final data showed a strong safety and efficacy profile. Although the study was not p owered for efficacy, in a pre-planned analysis, the highest dose cohort of MS1819-SD showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful increases in CFA compared to baseline with a mean increase of 21.8% and a p value of p=0.002 on a per protocol basis. Additionally, maximal absolute CFA response to treatment was up to 57%, with an inverse relationship to baseline CFA.

In October 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (“ IND ”) application for MS1819-SD in patients with EPI due to CF. In connection with the FDA’s clearance of the IND, the Company initiated a multi-center Phase 2 OPTION study in the fourth quarter of 2018 in the United States and Europe (the “ OPTION Study ”). The Company targeted enrollment of 30 to 35 patients for the OPTION Study and dosed the first patients in February 2019. In June 2019, the Company reached its enrollment target for the study.

On September 25, 2019, the Company announced positive results from the OPTION Study. Results showed that the primary efficacy endpoint of CFA was comparable to the CFA in a prior phase two study in patients with CP, while using the same dosage of MS1819-SD. The dosage used in both studies was 2.2 grams per day, which was determined in agreement with the FDA as a bridging dose. Although the study was not powered for statistical significance, the data demonstrated meaningful efficacy results, with approximately 50% of the patients showing CFAs high enough to reach non-inferiority with standard porcine enzyme replacement therapy (“ PERT ”). Additionally, coefficient of nitrogen absorption (“ CNA ”) was comparable between the MS1819-SD and PERT arms, 93% vs. 97%, respectively, in the Option Study. This important finding confirms that protease supplementation is not likely to be required with MS1819-SD treatment. A total of 32 patients, ages 18 or older, completed the OPTION Study. The Company now plans to meet with the FDA before year-end based on prior communications, to discuss a Phase 2b or Phase 3 trial design exploring the use of higher doses and/or enteric-coated capsules to ensure higher levels of MS1819-SD in the duodenum.

In addition to the OPTION Study, in July 2019 the Company launched a Phase 2 multi-center clinical trial (the “ Combination Trial ”) in Hungary to investigate MS1819-SD in combination with PERT, for CF patients who suffer from severe EPI, but continue to experience clinical symptoms of fat malabsorption despite taking the maximum daily dose of PERTs. The Combination 2 study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating doses of MS1819-SD, in conjunction with a stable dose of PERTs, in order to increase CFA and relieve abdominal symptoms.

DRAFT

On October 15, 2019, the Company announced that it dosed the first patients in its Combination Trial. This study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating doses of MS1819-SD (700 mg, 1120 mg and 2240 mg per day, respectively), in conjunction with a stable dose of porcine PERTs, in order to increase the CFA and relieve abdominal symptoms. A combination therapy of PERT and MS1819-SD has the potential to: (i) correct macronutrient and micronutrient maldigestion; (ii) eliminate abdominal symptoms attributable to maldigestion; and (iii) sustain optimal nutritional status on a normal diet in CF patients with severe EPI. Planned enrollment is expected to include approximately 24 CF patients with severe EPI, with study completion anticipated in 2020.

On October 17, 2019, the Company announced that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Data Safety Monitoring Board has completed its review of the Company’s final results of the OPTION Study and has found no safety concerns for MS1819-SD, and that the group supports the Company’s plan to proceed to a higher four-gram dose of MS1819-SD in its next planned Phase 2 clinical trial.

b-Lactamase Program

The Company’s b-lactamase program focuses on products with an enzymatic combination of bacterial origin for the prevention of hospital-acquired infections and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (“ AAD ”) by resistant bacterial strains induced by parenteral administration of several antibiotic classes. Currently, the Company has two compounds in pre-clinical development in this program, AZX1101 and AZX1103. Both AZX1101 and AZX1103 are composed of several distinct enzymes that break up individual classes of antibiotic molecules. AZX1103 is a b-lactamase enzyme combination that has shown positive pre-clinical activity, with degradation of amoxicillin in the presence of clavulanic acid in the upper gastrointestinal tract in the Gottingen minipig model. Currently, the Company is focused on advancing pre-clinical development of AZX1103 in addition to assessing plans for continuation of the development of AZX1101.

Recent Developments

Asset Purchase Agreement with Mayoly

On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Mayoly (the “ Mayoly APA ”), pursuant to which the Company purchased all rights, title and interest in and to MS1819-SD. Upon execution of the Mayoly APA, the Joint Development and License Agreement (the “ JDLA ”) previously executed by AzurRx SAS and Mayoly was terminated. In addition, the Company granted to Mayoly an exclusive, royalty-bearing right to revenue received from commercialization of MS1819-SD within certain territories.

In accordance with the Mayoly APA, the Company provided to Mayoly the following consideration for the purchase of MS1819-SD:

(i)

the Company assumed certain of Mayoly’s liabilities with respect to MS1819-SD;

(ii)

the Company forgave all amounts currently owed to AzurRx SAS by Mayoly under the JDLA;

(iii)

the Company agreed to pay, within 30 days after the execution of the Mayoly APA, all amounts incurred by Mayoly for the maintenance of patents related to MS1819-SD from January 1, 2019 through the date of the Mayoly APA;

(iv)

Cyber-Related Fraud

On August 8, 2019, management was advised that it was a victim of a cyber-related fraud whereby a hacker impersonated one of the Company’s key vendors to redirect payments, totaling $418,765. The Company, including the Audit Committee, completed its investigation and is reviewing all available avenues of recovery, including from the Company’s financial institution to recover the payments. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had recovered $50,858 from its financial institution but management is unable to determine the probability of recovering anything further from the cyber-related fraud. Therefore, as of September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a loss of $367,908 which is included in General and Administrative (“ G&A ”) expenses. As a result of the cyber-related fraud, the Company has instituted additional controls and procedures and all employees have now undergone cybersecurity training.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ U.S. GAAP ”). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018, has been derived from audited financial statements of that date. The unaudited interim consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” ). The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AzurRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AzurRx SAS. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, had negative working capital at September 30, 2019 of approximately $2,090,000, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61,413,000 at September 30, 2019. The Company is dependent on obtaining, and continues to pursue, additional working capital funding from the sale of securities and debt in order to continue to execute its development plan and continue operations. Without adequate working capital, the Company may not be able to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include certain estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements (including goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration), and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts in the U.S. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $1,172,862 and $754,261, respectively, in one account in the U.S. in excess of these limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.

The Company also has exposure to foreign currency risk as its subsidiary in France has a functional currency in Euros.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ( “ASU” ) No. 2016-02, "Leases." This ASU requires substantially all leases be recorded on the balance sheet as right of use assets and lease obligations. The Company adopted the ASU using a modified retrospective adoption method at January 1, 2019, as outlined in ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases - Targeted Improvements." Under this method of adoption, there is no impact to the comparative condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed carryforward of historical lease classifications. Adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s results of operations and had no impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees

Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at fair value on the grant date per ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation of employees and consultants that perform the Company’s research activities, the fees paid to maintain the Company’s licenses, and the payments to third parties for clinical trial and additional product development and testing.

Foreign Currency Translation

For foreign subsidiaries with operations denominated in a foreign currency, assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency, at period end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Gains and losses from translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measure of the actual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by reducing the goodwill balance by the difference between the carrying value and the reporting unit’s fair value (impairment loss is limited to the carrying value). This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019.

Note 3 - Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value.

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

		Fair Value Measured at Reporting Date Using
	Carrying Amount	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Fair Value
At September 30, 2019:
Cash	$ 1,549,825	$ -	$ 1,549,825	$ -	$ 1,549,825
Other receivables	$ 2,090,233	$ -	$ -	$ 2,090,233	$ 2,090,233
Convertible debt	$ 1,947,073	$ -	$ -	$ 1,947,073	$ 1,947,073

At December 31, 2018:
Cash	$ 1,114,343	$ -	$ 1,114,343	$ -	$ 1,114,343
Other receivables	$ 3,172,676	$ -	$ -	$ 3,172,676	$ 3,172,676
Note payable	$ 255,032	$ -	$ -	$ 255,032	$ 255,032

The fair value of other receivables approximates carrying value as these consist primarily of French R&D tax credits that are normally received the following year and amounts due from our collaboration partner Mayoly, see Note 14.

The fair value of the note payable approximates carrying value due to the terms of such instruments and applicable interest rates.

The fair value of convertible debt is based on the par value plus accrued interest through the date of reporting due to the terms of such instruments and interest rates, or the current interest rates of similar instruments.

Note 4 - Other Receivables

Other receivables consisted of the following:

	September 30,	December 31,
	2019	2018
R&D tax credits	$ 2,019,211	$ 2,162,373
Other	71,022	1,010,303
Total other receivables	$ 2,090,233	$ 3,172,676

The research and development ( “R&D” ) tax credits are the 2017 and 2018 refundable tax credits for research conducted in France. The tax credits for the years 2016 through 2018 are currently being examined by the French tax authorities which is in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2018, Other consists primarily of amounts due from collaboration partner Mayoly.

Note 9 – Convertible Notes and Original Issue Discounted Convertible Notes with Warrants

ADEC Notes

On February 14, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA” ) with ADEC Private Equity Investments, LLC ( “ADEC” ), pursuant to which the Company issued to ADEC two Senior Convertible Notes ( “Note A” and “Note B,” respectively, each a “Note,” and together, the “Notes” ), in the principal amount of $1,000,000 per Note, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000. ADEC is controlled by a significant stockholder of the Company.

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum (the “Interest Rate” ); provided, however, that in the event the Company elects to repay the full balance due under the terms of both Notes prior to December 31, 2019, then the interest rate will be reduced to 6% per annum. Interest is payable at the time all outstanding Principal Amounts owed under each Note is repaid. The Notes will mature on the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth business day following the receipt by ABS of certain tax credits that the Company expects to receive prior to July 2019 in the case of Note A (the “2019 Tax Credit” ) and July 2020 in the case of Note B (the “2020 Tax Credit” ), respectively, or (ii) December 31, 2019 in the case of Note A and December 31, 2020 in the Case of Note B (the “Maturity Dates” ).

Prior to their respective Maturity Dates, each of the Notes is convertible, at ADEC’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price equal to the principal and accrued interest due under the terms of the Notes divided by $2.50 ( “Conversion Shares” ); provided, however, that pursuant to the term of the Notes, ADEC may not convert all or a portion of the Notes if such conversion would result in the significant stockholder and/or entities affiliated with him beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares.

As additional consideration for entering into the NPA, pursuant to a Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of 1,009,565 outstanding warrants previously issued by the Company to ADEC and its affiliates (the “Warrants” ) to $1.50 per share.

In connection with the above transaction, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with ADEC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 45 days after the closing date of February 14, 2019 in order to register, on behalf of ADEC, the Conversion Shares.

In January 2018, the Company offered certain warrant holders the opportunity to exercise their warrants at a reduced strike price of $2.50, and if so elected, would also have the opportunity to reprice other warrants that they continued to hold unexercised to $3.25. The offer, which was effective January 12, 2018, was for the repricing only and did not modify the life of the warrants. Warrant holders of approximately 503,000 shares exercised their warrants and had other warrants modified on approximately 197,000 shares, which resulted in a charge of approximately $429,000 in January 2018.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, 200,000 warrants were issued to investment bankers in association with the July 2019 Public Offerings with a value of $116,600. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 275,663 warrants were issued to investment bankers in association with the April, May, and July 2019 Public Offerings with a value of $233,182.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, no warrants were issued to investment bankers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 244,400 warrants were issued to investment bankers in association with the May 2018 Public Offering with a value of $416,426.

The weighted average fair value of warrants granted to non-employees during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.58. The weighted average fair value of warrants granted to non-employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $0.84 and $1.70, respectively. The fair value was estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average

assumptions:

	September 30,	September 30,
	2019	2018
Expected life (in years)	5	5
Volatility	71 - 73 %	84 %
Risk-free interest rate	1.83 - 2.37 %	2.70 %
Dividend yield	- %	- %

Note 13 - Stock-Based Compensation Plan

Under the 2014 Plan, the fair value of options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the common stock price and the assumed risk-free interest rate. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest and the compensation cost from vested options, whether forfeited or not, is not reversed.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, no stock options were granted. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, 30,000 options vested having a fair value of $30,390 and an intrinsic value of $0.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 893,500 stock options were granted with an exercise price of $1.70 and a term of five years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 274,500 options vested having a fair value of $541,725 and an intrinsic value of $0. 242,000 of these options valued at $501,666 vested due to the Company having its first CF patient dosed with MS1819-SD anywhere in the world, which was achieved by the dosing of the first patient in the OPTION Study.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, no stock options were granted. 7,500 options vested in the three months ended September 30, 2018 having a fair value of $29,018. 90,000 stock options were canceled with exercise prices ranging from of $3.04 to $3.60.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 539,000 stock options were granted with an exercise price of $3.04 and a term of five years. 111,250 options vested in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 having a fair value of $306,966. 90,000 stock options were canceled with exercise prices ranging from of $3.04 to $3.60.

The fair values were estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	September 30,	September 30,
	2019	2018
Contractual term (in years)	5	5
Volatility	71 %	85 %
Risk-free interest rate	2.19 %	2.82 %
Dividend yield	- %	- %

The expected term of the options is based on expected future employee exercise behavior. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock if available or of several public entities that are similar to the Company. The Company bases volatility this way because it may not have sufficient historical transactions in its own shares on which to solely base expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The Company has not historically declared any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

The Company realized no income tax benefit from stock option exercises in each of the periods presented due to recurring losses and valuation allowances.

Stock option activity under the 2014 Plan is as follows:

Note 16 - Income Taxes

The Company is subject to taxation at the federal level in both the United States and France and at the state level in the United States. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no tax provision for either jurisdiction.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $16,156,000 and $12,490,000, respectively. As the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance of approximately $16,156,000 and $12,490,000, respectively, has been established at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The change in the valuation allowance in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $3,666,000 and $2,108,000, respectively.

DRAFT

At September 30, 2019, the Company has gross net operating loss (“ NOL ”) carryforwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $30,229,000 and $28,673,000, respectively. The NOL’s expire between the years 2034 and 2039. The Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards may be limited if it experiences an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 (“ Section 382 ”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An ownership change generally occurs if certain stockholders increase their aggregate percentage ownership of a corporation’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest percentage ownership at any time during the testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding any potential ownership change.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $17,266,000 and $15,406,000, respectively, in net operating losses which it can carryforward indefinitely to offset against future French income.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that would require disclosure under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes.

Note 17 - Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt that are not deemed to be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method.

At September 30, 2019, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 3,388,378 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, 416,000 shares of restricted stock not yet issued, and 1,887,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options as their effect would be antidilutive during the periods prior to conversion.

At September 30, 2018, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 3,112,715 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and 994,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options as their effect would be antidilutive during the periods prior to conversion.

Note 18 - Related Party Transactions

Note 19 – Subsequent Events

Continued Listing

On November 1, 2019, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (" Nasdaq ") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the " Notice ").

The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, the Company's listing remains fully effective.

The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and seek to regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq requirements within the allotted compliance periods. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days at some point during the period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until April 29, 2020. If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by April 29, 2020, Nasdaq may grant the Company a second period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. To qualify for this additional compliance period, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would also be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Equity Purchase Agreement

On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), and a registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“ Lincoln Park ”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $15,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $15,000,000 of shares of common stock. Such sales of common stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 30-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock that have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, all of which are outside the control of Lincoln Park. The Company has 60 business days to file the registration statement.

In consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase up to $15,000,000 shares of common stock under, and subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to issue to Lincoln Park 487,168 shares of common stock. Additional terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement are set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2019.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Overview

AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. was incorporated on January 30, 2014 in the State of Delaware. In June 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of AzurRx SAS (formerly “ ProteaBio Europe SAS ”), a company incorporated in October 2008 under the laws of France. AzurRx and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AzurRx SAS (“ABS” ), are jointly referred to as the “Company.”

We are engaged in the research and development of non-systemic biologics for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Non-systemic biologics are non-absorbable drugs that act locally, i.e. the intestinal lumen, skin or mucosa, without reaching an individual’s systemic circulation.

Our current product pipeline consists of two therapeutic programs under development, each of which are described below:

MS1819-SD

MS1819-SD is a yeast derived recombinant lipase for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (“ EPI ”) associated with chronic pancreatitis (“ CP ”) and cystic fibrosis (“ CF ”). A lipase is an enzyme that breaks up fat molecules. MS1819-SD is considered recombinant because it was created from new combinations of genetic material in yeast called Yarrowia lipolytica . In June 2018, we completed an open-label, dose escalation Phase 2a trial of MS1819-SD in France, Australia, and New Zealand to investigate both the safety of escalating doses of MS1819-SD, and the efficacy of MS1819-SD through the analysis of each patient’s coefficient of fat absorption (“ CFA ”) and its change from baseline. A total of 11 CP patients with EPI were enrolled in the study and final data showed a strong safety and efficacy profile. Although the study was not powered for efficacy, in a pre-planned analysis, the highest dose cohort of MS1819-SD showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful increases in CFA compared to baseline with a mean increase of 21.8% and a p value of p=0.002 on a per protocol basis. Additionally, maximal absolute CFA response to treatment was up to 57%, with an inverse relationship to baseline CFA.

In October 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) cleared our Investigational New Drug (“ IND ”) application for MS1819-SD in patients with EPI due to CF. In connection with the FDA’s clearance of the IND, we initiated the multi-center Phase 2 OPTION Study in the fourth quarter of 2018 in the United States and Europe (the “ OPTION Study ”). We targeted enrollment of 30 to 35 patients for the OPTION Study and dosed the first patients in February 2019. In June 2019, we reached our enrollment target for the study.

Table of Contents

On September 25, 2019, we announced positive results from the OPTION Study. Results showed that the primary efficacy endpoint of CFA was comparable to the CFA in a prior phase two study in patients with CP, while using the same dosage of MS1819-SD. The dosage used in both studies was 2.2 grams per day, which was determined in agreement with the FDA as a bridging dose. Although the study was not powered for statistical significance, the data demonstrated meaningful efficacy results, with approximately 50% of the patients showing CFAs high enough to reach non-inferiority with standard porcine enzyme replacement therapy (“ PERT ”). Additionally, coefficient of nitrogen absorption (“ CNA ”) was comparable between the MS1819-SD and PERT arms, 93% vs. 97%, respectively, in the Option Study. This important finding confirms that protease supplementation is not likely to be required with MS1819-SD treatment. A total of 32 patients, ages 18 or older, completed the OPTION Study. We now plan to meet with the FDA before year-end based on prior communications, to discuss a Phase 2b trial design exploring the use of higher doses and/or enteric-coated capsules to ensure higher levels of MS1819-SD in the duodenum.

On October 17, 2019, we announced that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Data Safety Monitoring Board has completed its review of our final results of the Phase 2 OPTION trial and has found no safety concerns for MS1819-SD, our lead product candidate for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in cystic fibrosis, and that the group supports our plan to proceed to a higher 4-gram dose of MS1819-SD in our next planned Phase 2 clinical trial.

In addition to the OPTION Study, in July 2019 we launched a Phase 2 multi-center clinical trial (the “ Combination Trial ”) in Hungary to investigate MS1819-SD in combination with PERT, for CF patients who suffer from severe EPI, but continue to experience clinical symptoms of fat malabsorption despite taking the maximum daily dose of PERTs. The Phase 2 study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating doses of MS1819-SD, in conjunction with a stable dose of PERTs, in order to increase CFA and relieve abdominal symptoms.

On October 15, 2019, we announced that we dosed the first patients in the Combination Trial. This study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating doses of MS1819-SD (700 mg, 1120 mg and 2240 mg per day, respectively), in conjunction with a stable dose of porcine PERTs, in order to increase the coefficient of fat absorption (CFA) and relieve abdominal symptoms. A combination therapy of PERT and MS1819-SD has the potential to: (i) correct macronutrient and micronutrient maldigestion; (ii) eliminate abdominal symptoms attributable to maldigestion; and (iii) sustain optimal nutritional status on a normal diet in CF patients with severe EPI. Planned enrollment is expected to include approximately 24 CF patients with severe EPI, with study completion anticipated in 2020.

b-Lactamase Program

Our b-lactamase program focuses on products with an enzymatic combination of bacterial origin for the prevention of hospital-acquired infections and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (“ AAD ”) by resistant bacterial strains induced by parenteral administration of several antibiotic classes. Currently, we have two compounds in pre-clinical development in this program, AZX1101 and AZX1103. Both AZX1101 and AZX1103 are composed of several distinct enzymes that break up individual classes of antibiotic molecules. AZX1103 is a b-lactamase enzyme combination that has shown positive pre-clinical activity, with degradation of amoxicillin in the presence of clavulanic acid in the upper gastrointestinal tract in the Gottingen minipig model. Currently, we are focused on advancing pre-clinical development of AZX1103 in addition to assessing plans for continuation of the development of AZX1101.

We do not expect to generate revenue from drug candidates that we develop until we obtain approval for one or more of such drug candidates and commercialize our product or enter into a collaborative agreement with a third party. We do not have any products approved for sale at the present and have never generated revenue from product sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2019, we had cash of approximately $1,550,000 and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61,413,000. We are dependent on obtaining, and are continuing to pursue, funding necessary to continue our operations from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of securities. Without adequate funding, we may not be able to meet our obligations. We believe these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have funded our operations to date primarily through the completion of our initial public offering in October 2016 (“ IPO ”), the issuance of debt and convertible debt securities, the issuance of common stock in various private placement transactions, and our public offerings in May 2018, April 2019, May 2019, and July 2019. We do not believe our current cash, including net proceeds from the recent equity issuance in July 2019, will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements beyond the next 12 months. We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development of our product candidates. We will require additional financing to develop, prepare regulatory filings and obtain regulatory approvals, fund operating losses, and, if deemed appropriate, establish manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities.

We are focused on expanding our product pipeline through collaborations, and also through potential acquisitions. We are continually evaluating potential asset acquisitions and business combinations. To finance such potential acquisitions, we may raise additional equity capital, incur additional debt, or both, which capital may not be available on a timely basis or on acceptable terms.

April 2019 Registered Direct Public Offering

In April 2019, we completed a public offering of 1,294,930 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $2.13 per share, resulting net proceeds of approximately $2.5 million, after deducting the selling agent fee paid to Alexander Capital, L.P. and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “ April 2019 Public Offering ”). The April 2019 Public Offering was completed pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-226065) and the prospectus supplement filed on April 2, 2019.

In connection with the April 2019 Public Offering, we entered into a Selling Agent Agreement with Alexander Capital, L.P., pursuant to which we paid to Alexander Capital, L.P. (i) a cash fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the April 2019 Public Offering, and (ii) issued to Alexander Capital, L.P. warrants to purchase 38,848 shares of our common stock (the “ April 2019 Selling Agent Warrants ”), an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the April 2019 Public Offering. We also reimbursed Alexander Capital, L.P. for its expenses on a non-accountable basis in an amount equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of the April 2019 Public Offering and $50,000 for other accountable expenses. The April 2019 Selling Agent Warrants will become exercisable one year from the date of issuance, expire on April 2, 2024 and have an exercise price of $2.55 per share.

In connection with the May 2019 Public Offering, we entered into a Selling Agent Agreement with Alexander Capital, pursuant to which we (i) paid Alexander Capital a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the May 2019 Public Offering, and (ii) issued Alexander Capital warrants to purchase up to 36,815 shares of common stock a number of shares of common stock equal to 3.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the Offering. The Company also agreed to reimburse Alexander Capital for its expenses in connection with the Offering on a non-accountable basis in an amount equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and up to $50,000 for other accountable expenses. The May 2019 Selling Agent Warrants will become exercisable one year from the date of issuance, expire on May 9, 2024 and have an exercise price of $2.82 per share.

July 2019 Underwritten Public Offering

On July 17, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. (“ Wainwright ”) as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “ Underwriters ”), relating to the issuance and sale of 5.0 million shares of our common stock. Each share of common stock was sold at a public offering price of $1.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $5.0 million, or net proceeds of $4.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discount, estimated legal fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “ July 2019 Public Offering ”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted to the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of common stock at the same public offering price per share.

The July 2019 Public Offering was conducted pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-231954), filed with the SEC on June 5, 2019, and declared effective on June 25, 2019, including the base prospectus dated June 4, 2019 included therein and the related prospectus supplement filed on July 19, 2019.

Cyber-Related Fraud

On August 8, 2019, management was advised that it was a victim of a cyber-related fraud whereby a hacker impersonated one of our key vendors to redirect payments, totaling $418,765. We were able to recover $50,858 following discovery of the cyber-related fraud and are currently pursuing other avenues of recovery for the balance of $367,908, including from our financial institution. Management currently believes that the likelihood of recovery of the balance is remote. Therefore, as of September 30, 2019, we recorded a loss of $367,908, which is included in General and Administrative (“ G&A ”) expenses.

Continued Listing

On November 1, 2019, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (" Nasdaq ") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “ Notice ”).

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2019, the Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, our listing remains fully effective.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $10,807,517, which primarily reflected our net loss of $13,896,063 plus adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of depreciation and amortization expense of $876,324, non-cash stock-based compensation of $541,725 due primarily to achievement of certain performance-based milestones associated with previously issued equity awards, non-cash restricted stock granted to employees/directors of $556,888 due primarily to reaching certain performance-based milestones, non-cash restricted stock granted to a consultant in payment of accounts payable for $112,500, accrued interest on convertible debt of $124,932, and non-cash debt discount - warrants on convertible debt of $147,461.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $7,528,636, which primarily reflected our net loss of $9,513,809 plus adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities of depreciation and amortization expense of $604,789, non-cash fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration of $240,000, non-cash stock-based compensation of $306,966, non-cash restricted stock granted to employees/directors of $457,686, non-cash restricted stock granted/accrued to consultants of $360,771, non-cash debt discount - warrants on a 12% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture issued to LPC in April 2017 of $97,837, and a non-cash warrant modification expense of $428,748. Changes in assets and liabilities are due to an increase in other receivables of $134,052 due primarily to the billings to our research partner Mayoly, an increase in deposits of $15,000 due to a new office space lease for the startup of U.S. R&D, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $571,616 due primarily to paying off balances, a decrease in interest payable of $7,192, offset by a decrease in prepaid expense of $216,236 due primarily to the expensing of prepaid insurance.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $17,243 and $48,359, respectively, which consisted of the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $11,298,574, which consisted of $9,492,016 from the sale of common stock offered in our April, May, and July 2019 Public Offerings, $2,000,000 from the issuance of the Notes to ADEC, and $61,590 received from a stockholder in relation to a warrant modification offset by repayment of a note payable of $255,032. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $11,457,096 , which consisted of $2,324,742 from the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of certain repriced warrants in May 2018, $9,578,065 from the sale of common stock offered in our public offering in May 2018, offset by repayments of convertible debt of $286,529 and a note payable of $159,180.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Research and development (“ R&D ”) expense was $2,210,091 and $1,168,874, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $1,041,217. R&D expense was $7,067,392 and $3,772,679, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $3,294,713. The increases in R&D expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 are primarily due to the startup of a research and development function in the U.S. including expenses for our OPTION study that were not present in the same periods in 2018. We expect R&D expense to increase in future periods as our product candidates continue through clinical trials and we seek strategic collaborations.

G&A expense was $1,871,983 and $1,317,132, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $554,791. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was due primarily to an increase in investor relations of $251,919 due to efforts to increase the visibility of the Company and the fraud loss of $367,908 offset by a decrease in stock compensation of $58,501. G&A expense was $6,550,516 and $5,400,712, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $1,149,804. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was due primarily to an increase in non-cash restricted stock and stock-based compensation granted accumulating to $138,241 due primarily to achieving certain performance-based milestones related to such grants, an increase in compensation of $293,489 due to increased personnel, an increase in investor relations of $314,128 and the fraud loss of $367,908. We expect G&A expenses to increase going forward as we proceed closer to commercialization of our product candidates.

Fair value adjustment of our contingent consideration was $0 and $80,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Fair value adjustment of our contingent consideration was $0 and $240,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The difference in fair value adjustments in the three-and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 is due to the contingent consideration being eliminated in 2018.

Interest expense was $110,398 and $5,629, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $104,769. Interest expense was $278,155 and $100,418, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $177,737. The higher interest expense in the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 is primarily due to Notes issued in 2019.

Net loss was $4,192,472 and $2,571,635, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Net loss was $13,896,063 and $9,513,809, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The higher net loss for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is due to the changes in expenses as noted above.

ITEM 4. CONT R OLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “ Exchange Act ”) our Chief Executive Officer (“ CEO ”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“ CFO ”) conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the revision to its controls and procedures to require additional procedures where vendors request any changes to payment instructions, which revision was necessitated as a result of the discovery of a cyber-related fraud in August 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
