1. Organization and Business

Jaguar Health, Inc. (“Jaguar”, “we” or the “Company”), formerly known as Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., was incorporated on June 6, 2013 (inception) in Delaware. The Company was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo” or the “Former Parent”) until the close of the Company's initial public offering on May 18, 2015. The Company was formed to develop and commercialize first-in-class gastrointestinal products for companion and production animals and horses. The Company's first commercial product, Neonorm Calf, was launched in 2014 and Neonorm Foal was launched in the first quarter of 2016. The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding in order to timely complete the development and commercialization of products.

On July 31, 2017, Jaguar completed a merger with Napo pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 31, 2017 by and among Jaguar, Napo, Napo Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Napo's representative (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Napo, with Napo surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger” or “Napo Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Jaguar changed its name from “Jaguar Animal Health, Inc.” to “Jaguar Health, Inc.” Napo now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of Mytesi, a Napo drug product approved by the U.S. FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

The Company manages its operations through two segments—human health and animal health and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Nasdaq Communication and Compliance

On May 13, 2019, the Company received written notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”), as of May 8, 2019, and notwithstanding the Company’s compliance with the quantitative criteria necessary to obtain a second 180-day period within which to evidence compliance with the Rule, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

On June 21, 2019, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company’s common stock to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The notification letter confirmed that the minimum bid price deficiency had been cured and that the Company was in compliance with all applicable listing standards. Nasdaq had previously notified the Company of its non‑compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) on November 14, 2018, following 30 consecutive business days for which the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock did not meet the $1.00 per share minimum requirement.

Reverse stock-splits

On May 29, 2018, the Company filed the Certificate of Second Amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock, effective June 1, 2018. The reverse split has been retrospectively reflected in all voting common stock, warrants, and common stock option shares disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The non-voting common stock and the convertible preferred stock were excluded from the reverse split.

On June 3, 2019, the Company filed the Certificate of Fifth Amendment to its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-70 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock, effective June 7, 2019. The reverse split has been retrospectively reflected in all voting common stock, warrants, and common stock option shares disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The non-voting common stock and the convertible preferred stock were excluded from the reverse split.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $119.6 million as of June 30, 2019. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $25.0 million. The Company expects to incur substantial losses in future periods. Further, the Company's future operations are dependent on the success of the Company's ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as securing additional financing. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis.

The Company plans to finance its operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing, collaboration arrangements with other entities, as well as revenue from future product sales. We do not believe our current capital, supplemented by our recent financing of $14.3 million net proceeds, is sufficient to fund our operating plan through one year from August 14, 2019. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all, or that the Company will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund operating needs or ultimately achieve profitability. If the Company is unable to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its products, the Company will need to curtail planned activities and reduce costs. Doing so will likely have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to execute on its business plan. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Transactions with Oasis Capital

On January 7, 2019, Jaguar entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Oasis Capital, relating to an offering of an aggregate of up to 76,190 shares of common stock via an equity line of credit. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company has the right to "put," or sell, up to 76,190 shares of common stock to Oasis Capital for an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares set forth on the applicable put notice (minus the deposit and clearing fees associated with such purchase) and (ii) a fixed price of $52.50 per share or such other price agreed upon between the Company and Oasis Capital. Jaguar had the option to increase the equity line of credit by an additional 114,285 shares of common stock by notifying Oasis Capital at any time after the effective date of the purchase agreement. In March 2019, Jaguar exercised this option. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had sold all of the 76,190 shares of common stock of the equity line and all 114,286 shares of common stock from the option to Oasis Capital.

In March 2019, Jaguar entered into a securities purchase agreement with Oasis Capital pursuant to which Jaguar agreed to issue and sell, in a registered public offering by Jaguar directly to Oasis, an aggregate of 19,019  shares of common stock at an offering price of $14.00 for gross proceeds of approximately $266,266.

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into another common stock purchase agreement (the “April CSPA”) with Oasis Capital relating to an offering (the “April Equity Line Offering”) of an aggregate of up to 285,714 shares (the “April Purchase Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, all of which are being offered in a primary offering consisting of an equity line of credit. Under the terms of the April CSPA, the Company has the right to “put,” or sell, the April Purchase Shares to Oasis Capital for an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of April Purchase Shares set forth in the applicable put notice (minus the deposit and clearing fees associated with such purchase) and (ii) a fixed price of $19.60 per share or such other price agreed upon between the Company and Oasis Capital. The Company had the option to increase the equity line of credit by an additional 285,714 shares of Common Stock by notifying Oasis Capital at any time after the effective date of the April CSPA.

Effective June 14, 2019, we halted all future offers and sales of our voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per share under the April CSPA and terminated the April CSPA. Between April 1, 2019, the date of the April CSPA, and June 14, 2019, we sold an aggregate of 4,843 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the CSPA for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100,000.

Kingdon Debt Refinancing

On May 28, 2019, Jaguar entered into a guaranty and suretyship agreement, pursuant to which it guaranteed payment and performance of all obligations of Napo, arising under and in connection with approximately $10.5 million outstanding aggregate amount of convertible promissory notes issued by Napo pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2017, by and between Napo, Kingdon Associates, M. Kingdon Offshore Master Fund L.P., Kingdon Family Partnership, L.P., and Kingdon Credit Master Fund L.P. (collectively, the “Existing Notes”). The Existing Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and mature on December 31, 2019.

On May 28, 2019, Jaguar and Napo (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered into an exchange agreement with Chicago Venture Partners, L.P. (“CVP”), the holder of the Existing Notes, pursuant to which CVP exchanged the Existing Notes for a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $10,535,900 (“Exchange Note 1”) and a secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,296,926 (“Exchange Note 2” and together with Exchange Note 1, the “Exchange Notes”). The Exchange Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature on December 31, 2020. The outstanding balance of Exchange Note 2 is equal to the exchange fee that Jaguar agreed to pay CVP in consideration of certain accommodations granted to Jaguar and Napo, including but not limited to the extension of the maturity dates of the Existing Notes and the legal and other fees incurred by CVP in connection with the effectuation of the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement. Through June 30, 2019, Jaguar has issued 817,863 shares of Common Stock to CVP in exchange for a reduction of approximately $5.1 million of the Exchange Notes. The shares of Common Stock that were exchanged for portions of the Exchange Notes were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

CVP also entered into security agreements with Jaguar (the “Jaguar Security Agreement”) and Napo (the “Napo Security Agreement”, and together with the Jaguar Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements”), pursuant to which CVP will receive (i) a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets as security for the Company’s obligations under Exchange Note 2 and (ii) a security interest in substantially all of Napo’s assets as security for Napo’s obligations under Exchange Note 1 and Exchange Note 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the amount owing under Exchange Note 2 will not be considered part of the obligations secured by the Napo Security Agreement until such time as Jaguar receives permission from a third party and (b) the security interest granted under the Jaguar Security Agreement will be automatically terminated and released upon Jaguar’s receipt of a waiver from such third party.

Exchange of CVP Notes for Common Stock

Between January and June 30, 2019, Jaguar entered into exchange agreements with CVP pursuant to which the Company issued 395,970 shares of Common Stock to CVP in exchange for a reduction of $6.4 million in principal and related accrued interest of the CVP Notes (collectively, the June 2017 CVP Note, The December 2017 CVP Note, the February 2018 Note and the March 2018 Note). As of June 30, 2019, all four of the CVP Notes had been entirely extinguished.

Between March and June 30, 2019, Jaguar entered into securities purchase agreements (“the Bridge Notes”) with selected accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued $5.1 million in principal amount of short-term promissory notes to such Investors. As an inducement for entering into the Securities Purchase Agreement, each investor also received warrants exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2019, the net carrying value of the 2019 Bridge Notes was $3,563,068, or principal of $5,050,000 offset by a discount of $1,486,932.

2019 PoC Capital Note and Integrium Contract

On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a California-based investment group, PoC Capital, LLC. pursuant to which we sold a promissory note as part of the Bridge Notes. Refer to Note 1 Organization and Business under Notes and Warrants Issuance about Bridge Notes. The proceeds of $775,000 was received by the Company subsequent to the signing of the agreement. On June 26, 2019, Jaguar and PoC Capital signed an agreement with Integrium, LLC, a clinical research organization, in support of a study to evaluate the effect of Mytesi on the gastrointestinal microbiome in people living with HIV. The study is being funded by the proceeds the Company received from PoC Capital underlying the Bridge Note. In July 2019, the Company paid Integrium $750,000 as a prepayment for their services and expenses starting on July 1, 2019 through April 16, 2020. The contract is comprised of services fees in the amount of $332,033, investigator grants or site expenses for $162,619, pass-through expenses $239,573 and $15,775 of other expenses.
