Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. Organ ization and Basis of Presentation Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for the localized treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, or CRS. The Company’s proprietary technology is designed to consistently deliver medicines directly to the affected tissue for sustained periods with a single administration. The Company’s product candidates, LYR-210 and LYR-220, are bioresorbable polymeric implants designed to be administered in a brief, non-invasive, in-office procedure and intended to deliver six months of continuous anti-inflammatory drug therapy to the sinonasal passages for the treatment of CRS. The Company was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 21, 2005 and is located in Watertown, Massachusetts. On July 16, 2018, the Company formally changed its name from 480 Biomedical, Inc. to Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the therapeutics and pharmaceutical industry, including but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for any drug product candidate that it may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its product candidates, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development by competitors of technological innovations, reliance on third-party manufacturers, the ability to transition from pilot-scale manufacturing to large-scale production of products and the need to obtain adequate additional financing to fund the development of its product candidates. From inception through June 30, 2023, the Company has raised an aggregate of $ 397.0 million to fund its operations primarily from the equity financings, government grants and its License and Collaboration Agreement with LianBio discussed in Note 6. On May 25, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, ( the “Purchase Agreement”), with the purchasers named therein (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell securities to the Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The Purchase Agreement provided for the sale and issuance by the Company of: (i) an aggregate of 17,652,962 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,408,188 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), with an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 10,030,575 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Warrants”), with an exercise price of $ 2.673 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 50.0 million, before deducting private placement expenses. Each Share (or Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one share) was issued with an accompanying Purchase Warrant to purchase one-half of one share, and the combined effective purchase price per Share (or Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one share) and accompanying Purchase Warrant to purchase one-half of one share was $ 2.4925 (less the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrant, if applicable). Each Pre-Funded Warrant was exercisable immediately and will expire on May 31, 2028. Each Purchase Warrant will be exercisable at any time on or after November 30, 2023 and will expire on November 30, 2028. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on May 31, 2023. The Company has incurred recurring net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 280.5 million at June 30, 2023. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 54.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $ 61.8 million of short-term investments. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2023 will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating plan for a period of at least one year from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to incur increased costs as it progresses its product candidates through clinical development. The Company will need additional financing to support its continuing operations and pursue its growth strategy. Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, it expects to finance its operations through a combination of equity or debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. The Company may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements when needed on favorable terms or at all. The inability to obtain funding as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. If the Company is unable to obtain funding when needed, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.
