Organization and Business	1. Organization and Business Jaguar Health, Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) was founded in San Francisco, California as a Delaware corporation on June 6, 2013 (inception). The Company was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo Pharmaceuticals (“Napo”) 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 prescription and non-prescription products for companion animals. 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 the 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 including the ongoing development of crofelemer and commercialization of Mytesi. On March 15, 2021, Jaguar established Napo EU S.p.A (which changed its name in December 2021 to “Napo Therapeutics”) in Milan, Italy as a subsidiary of Napo. Napo Therapeutics’ core mission is to provide access to crofelemer in Europe to address significant rare/orphan disease indications, including, initially, two key orphan target indications: Short bowel syndrome (“SBS”) with intestinal failure and congenital diarrheal disorders (“CDD”). The Company manages its operations through two segments – human health and animal health and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Nasdaq Communication and Compliance Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement On May 10, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq indicating that the bid price for the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180-calendar day grace period, or until November 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The continued listing standard will be met if the Company evidences a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar-day grace period. In order for Nasdaq to consider granting the Company additional time beyond November 6, 2023, the Company would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on Nasdaq, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. If measured today, the Company would qualify for Nasdaq’s consideration of an extension because the Company currently has stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement by November 6, 2023, eligibility for Nasdaq’s consideration of a second 180-day day grace period would be determined on the Company’s compliance with the above referenced criteria on November 6, 2023. On November 8, 2023, the Company received a formal notice from the Staff of Nasdaq granting the Company an additional 180-day grace period, through May 6, 2024 to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement for the continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Liquidity and Going Concern The Company, since its inception, has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $308.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company expects to incur substantial losses and negative cash flows in future periods. Further, the Company’s future operations, which include the satisfaction of current obligations, are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as securing of additional financing and generating positive cash flows from operations. There is no assurance that the Company will have adequate cash balances to maintain its operations. Although the Company plans to finance its operations and cash flow needs through equity and/or debt financing, collaboration arrangements with other entities, license royalty agreements, joint ventures, as well as revenue from future product sales, the Company does not believe its current cash balances are sufficient to fund its operating plan through one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or on a timely basis, if at all, or that the Company will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund operating needs. If the Company is unable to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of our products, the Company will need to curtail planned activities and reduce costs. Doing so will likely have an adverse effect on the ability to execute the Company’s business plan; accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
