Biofrontera
Inc.
Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.
Organization and Business Overview
Biofrontera
Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Biofrontera”),
is a United States-based biopharmaceutical company commercializing a portfolio of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of dermatological
conditions with a focus on photodynamic therapy (“PDT”). The Company’s primary licensed products are used for the treatment
of actinic keratoses, which are pre-cancerous skin lesions.
The
Company includes its wholly owned subsidiary Biofrontera Discovery GmbH (“Discovery”), a limited liability company organized
under the laws of Germany, formed on February 9, 2022, as a German presence to facilitate our relationship with Biofrontera Pharma GmbH
(“Biofrontera Pharma”) and Biofrontera Bioscience GmbH (“Biofrontera Bioscience” and together with Biofrontera
Pharma, the “Ameluz Licensor”) and manage our clinical trial work.
Our
principal licensed product is Ameluz ® , which is a prescription drug approved for use in combination with the RhodoLED ®
Lamps, for PDT (when used together, “Ameluz ® PDT”). In the United States, the PDT treatment is used
for the lesion-directed and field-directed treatment of actinic keratoses of mild-to-moderate severity on the face and scalp. We are
currently selling Ameluz ® for this indication in the United States under an exclusive license and supply agreement (as
amended, the “Second A&R Ameluz LSA”) with the Ameluz Licensor, both of which are related parties.
Effective
June 1, 2024, we assumed control of all clinical trials relating to Ameluz ® in the United States, allowing for more effective
cost management and direct oversight of trial efficiency. Our research and development (“R&D”) program is focused on
label expansion for Ameluz ® as well as supporting PDT growth by improving the capabilities of our RhodoLED ®
Lamps to better fulfill the needs of dermatologists.
Strategic
Transaction with Biofrontera AG
On
June 30, 2025, the Company signed a binding agreement (the “Term Sheet”) with its former parent company Biofrontera AG,
Biofrontera Pharma, and Biofrontera Bioscience (together, the “Biofrontera Group”) pursuant to which the Company will
acquire all rights in the United States (the “U.S. Rights”) to Ameluz ® and RhodoLED ® (the
“Strategic Transaction”). In connection with the Strategic Transaction, additional agreements are to be executed, and
the transfer of the U.S. Rights is expected to be completed by September 30, 2025. Under the Term Sheet, and continuing once the
U.S. Rights are transferred, the Company will pay a royalty of 12 %
(and 15% in years where Ameluz ® revenue in the United States exceeds $65.0 million). The royalty will replace the
transfer pricing model under the Company’s Second A&R Ameluz LSA effective as of February 13, 2024 by and among the
Company, and the Biofrontera Group. See Note 12. Related Party Transactions for additional information.
In
exchange for the U.S. Rights, in addition to the aforementioned royalty and an agreement to transfer all costs associated with the U.S.
business, Biofrontera AG will receive 3,019 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. See
Note 12.Related Party Transactions, Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies and N ote 20. Subsequent Events for additional
information.
Pursuant
to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series
D Certificate of Designation”), each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is, subject to certain limitations specified
in the Series D Certification of Designation, immediately convertible at the option of the holders thereof into shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and has voting rights on an as-converted basis. There were
no shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued as of June 30, 2025. See Note 18. Subsequent Events for additional
information.
7
Private
Placement of Series C Preferred Stock
On
June 27, 2025, as a condition to the Strategic Transaction, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with certain accredited investors to issue and sell, in a private placement, up to 11,000 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at a price of $ 1,000 per share for an aggregate
offering price of $ 11.0 million. The Series C Preferred Stock offering consisted of two tranches with the first tranche closing on July
1, 2025. Gross proceeds of $ 8.5 million from the first tranche were received on June 30, 2025, in advance of the first tranche closing
(before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company). The second tranche is expected to close after the Company enters
into definitive documentation to consummate the Strategic Transaction, which is expected to occur on or before September 30, 2025. The
gross proceeds from the second tranche are expected to be $ 2.5 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Series C Preferred Stock offering to fund the transfer of costs associated with
the Strategic Transaction and other general corporate purposes. See Note 9. Advance from Stockholders for additional
information.
Liquidity and
Going Concern
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U,S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.
GAAP”) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Since
we commenced operations in 2015, we have generated significant losses. The Company incurred net cash outflows from operations of $ 7.2
million and $ 8.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2025 of $ 126.9
million. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are
its cash collected from the sales of its products, and cash flows from financing transactions, including $ 8.5
million received in a private placement of Series C Preferred
Stock, with a second tranche to be received on or before September 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$ 7.2 million,
compared to $ 5.9 million
as of December 31, 2024. However, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period
of at least twelve months from the issuance date of this report.
The
Company plans to address the conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern by, among
other things, utilizing external financing options, including a short-term line of credit, as well as finalizing the sale of its
Xepi product line within the next one to three months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
obtaining sufficient funding on acceptable terms, if at all, or close the Xepi disposition as intended. If the Company is unable to
raise additional capital when needed, it will not have sufficient cash resources and liquidity to fund its business operations and
may be forced to delay or reduce continued commercialization efforts or R&D programs which could have a material adverse effect
on the Company and its financial statements.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and
reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
for Preparation of the Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the Company’s opinion, the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2025, the Company’s operating results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The accompanying financial information as of December 31, 2024 is derived from audited financial statements. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025.
All
amounts shown in these financial statements and tables are in thousands and amounts in the notes are in millions, except percentages
and per share and share amounts.
With
the exception of the accounting policies below, there have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed
in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Reclassification
of Prior Year Presentation
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. The reclassification was limited to
the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and had no impact on the reported results of operations. Specifically, for prior year
presentation, accounts payable-related parties of $ 3.4 million was reclassed from accounts payable to accounts payable, related party,
net.
The
Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) Compliance
On May 8, 2025, the Company
received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the listing of the Common Stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2) as the closing bid price of the Common Stock was less than $ 1.00
per share for the previous 33 consecutive business days.
The notice has no present
impact on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 5, 2025, to regain compliance with the rule referred to in this paragraph.
To regain compliance, during this 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least
$ 1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
In
the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance
period ending on November 5, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) by meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable standards
for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and providing written notice
to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
Should the Nasdaq staff conclude that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not meet other listing
standards, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may
appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to actively
monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and
regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with
Rule 5550(a)(2) or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On
May 21, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, because the
Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 was $ 0.5
million, the Company is no longer in compliance with the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (1), which requires
that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2.5 million. Additionally, as of the date of the Notice or as of
June 30, 2025, the Company did not meet either of the alternative requirements of maintaining a market value of listed securities of
$35 million or achieving a net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two
of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. As a result, as of the date of this Report, the Company does not satisfy Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 5550(b).
9
The
Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company
submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to Nasdaq and on July 24, 2025 was granted an
extension of time to regain compliance with this rule on or before October 10, 2025.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions
by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities,
as reported on the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses arising during the reporting period. The main
areas in which assumptions, estimates and the exercising of judgment are appropriate relate to realization and valuation of receivables
and inventory, valuation of warrant liabilities, impairment assessment of intangibles and other long-lived assets, share-based payments,
deferred tax asset valuations, and contingent liability recognition. Estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions
that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. They are continuously reviewed but may vary from the actual values.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories
in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold.
Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are
required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments
should be applied on a prospective basis. ASU 202-09 did not have any impact on the interim disclosures in 2025. We are evaluating the
effect that this guidance will have on our annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, I ncome
Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement
Expense . The new guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income
statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for public business
entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.
The new standard permits early adoption and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance
will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20); Induced Conversions of Convertible
Debt. This ASU clarifies requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible
debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted
for as an induced conversion. It is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim
reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this
guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Investment,
related party
A s
of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company owned 3,019 common shares of Biofrontera AG. The fair value of this
investment was determined with Level 1 inputs through references to quoted market prices.
Warrant
Liabilities
The
warrant liabilities are comprised of (i) outstanding warrants to purchase 170,950 shares of the Company’s Common Stock originally
issued in a private placement on May 16, 2022, as amended on November 2, 2023 to extend the expiration date until November 2, 2028 and
revise the exercise price to $ 3.55 per share (the “2022 Purchase Warrants”); (ii) warrants to purchase 214,286 shares of
Common Stock issued on July 26, 2022, as amended on November 2, 2023 to extend the expiration date until November 2, 2028 and revise
the exercise price to $ 3.55 per share (the “2022 Inducement Warrants”); and (iii) warrants to purchase 1,807,500 shares of
Common Stock issued on November 2, 2023 expiring five years following the date of issuance and with an exercise price of $ 3.55 per share
( the “2023 Purchase Warrants”). See Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity for additional details.
The
2023 Purchase Warrants and 2022 Purchase Warrants, as well as the 2022 Inducement Warrants were accounted for as liabilities as these
warrants provide for a redemption right in the case of a fundamental transaction which fails the requirement of the indexation guidance
under ASC 815-40. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and
any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
The
Company utilizes a Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liabilities which is considered
a Level 3 fair value measurement. Certain inputs utilized in our BSM model may fluctuate in future periods based upon factors which are
outside of the Company’s control. A significant change in one or more of these inputs used in the calculation of the fair value
may cause a significant change to the fair value of our warrant liabilities which could also result in material non-cash gain or loss
being reported in our consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of these warrants was
determined using the BSM model based on the following range of assumptions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025: fair value
of the underlying common stock of $ 0.71 to $ 0.80 , expected volatility of 100 %, risk free rate of 3.66 % to 3.87 %, remaining contractual
term of 3.34 to 3.59 years and a dividend yield of 0 %. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining
contractual term.

Revenue
We
generate revenue primarily through the sales of our licensed products, Ameluz ® and BF-RhodoLED ® lamps.
Traditional
PDT treatments using a lamp are usually performed more frequently during the winter. As such our revenue is subject to some seasonality
and has historically been higher during the first and fourth quarters than during the second and third quarters.
5.
Cash Balances and Statement of Cash Flows Reconciliation
The
Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
At June 30, 2025, approximately $ 6.9 million of the Company’s cash balances were in excess of FDIC limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses on these accounts and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant risks with respect
to these accounts.
Restricted
cash consists primarily of deposits of cash collateral held in accordance with the terms of our corporate credit cards. Long-term restricted
cash was recorded in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The
following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash that sum to the total shown in the statements

Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts
receivables are mainly attributable to the sale of Ameluz ® . It is expected that all trade receivables will be settled
within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for
credit losses reflects our best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables determined on the basis of historical experience
and current information. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of
assets depending primarily on delinquency status, and fixed reserve percentages are established for each pool of trade accounts receivables.
In
determining the reserve percentages for each pool of trade accounts receivable, we considered our historical experience with certain
customers, regulatory and legal environments and other relevant current and future forecasted macroeconomic factors. If we become aware
of any customer-specific factors that impact credit risk, specific allowances for these known troubled accounts are recorded.
The
allowance for credit losses was $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Inventories
Inventories

The
Xepi product line has been held for sale since the third quarter of 2024, when the Company determined that the intangible asset met the
criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-9. The Company is working with a potential purchaser and
expects to complete a sale within the third quarter and, as such, has classified the asset as held for sale under current assets in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of the asset at the time of classification was $ 2.3 million, which was the
lower of its carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell. No gain or loss was recognized in the Condensed Statement of Operations
upon classification as an asset held for sale and the related revenue and expenses associated with the asset were de-minimus. There have
been no subsequent changes to fair value as of June 30, 2025 and the date of this report. This divestiture does not represent a strategic
shift that will have a major effect on our consolidated results of operations and therefore is not being reported as discontinued operations.
The
Xepi ® license intangible asset was recorded at acquisition date fair value of $ 4.6 million and was amortized on a straight-line
basis over the useful life of 11 years.

Advance from Stockholders
On
June 27, 2025, the Company entered the Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors to issue and sell, in a private placement
up to 11,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $ 1,000 per share for an aggregate offering price of $ 11.0 million. The
first tranche closed on July 1, 2025, providing gross proceeds of $ 8.5 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable
by the Company. The second tranche is expected to close after the Company enters into definitive documentation to consummate the Strategic
Transaction, which is expected to occur on or before September 30, 2025. The gross proceeds from the second tranche are expected to be
$ 2.5 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to fund
the Company’s continued operations and satisfy certain financial obligations to Biofrontera AG which originated from the LSA and
survived under the terms of the Strategic Transaction. See Note 1. Organization and Business Overview for additional information.
At
June 30, 2025, the proceeds of $ 8.5 million received for the Series C Preferred Stock were recorded as an advance from stockholders,
as the stock was not issued until July 1, 2025. See Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity , for additional details.

Debt
Convertible
Notes Payable
On
November 22, 2024, the Company issued $ 4.2 million in an aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.0 % Senior Secured Convertible
Notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into on November 21, 2024 with its principal stockholders.
The
Notes bear interest at 10.0 % per annum, payable in-kind (“PIK interest”) through the issuance of additional principal on
a quarterly basis. In the Event of Default (as defined in the Notes), the interest will increase to 15 % per annum from the date of written
notice from the holder. The Notes may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price
of $ 0.78 per share subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations, as described in the Notes.
The
Notes mature on November 22, 2027, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option prior
to maturity. Upon maturity, the Company will pay to the holders of the Notes an amount in cash representing all of the outstanding aggregate
principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest. Alternatively, the entire amount of the note will be automatically
converted to shares of Common Stock if the 10-day volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq
is greater than 250% of the conversion price, and certain other conditions are met.
The
Notes provide for customary events of default and contain conversion limitations, providing that no conversion may be made if the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder would exceed 9.99 % immediately after conversion. There were no events
of default at June 30, 2025.
The
Notes are secured by substantially all property of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s assets, inventory, intellectual
property and accounts.
The
Notes were accounted for as a liability under ASC 470 and the embedded conversion option has been assessed under ASC 815. Based on the
Company’s evaluation, there were no embedded features that required bifurcation as a derivative liability.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million,
respectively, and minimal discount amortization. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the
Notes was $ 4.3 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, which is shown net of the remaining unamortized issuance cost of $ 0.1 million.

Related Party Transactions
We
consider Biofrontera AG and its consolidated subsidiaries to be a related party, as we rely on the Biofrontera Group as the sole supplier
of Ameluz ® and the RhodoLED ® Lamps.
Strategic
Transaction with Biofrontera Group
On
June 30, 2025, the Company signed a binding Term Sheet with the Biofrontera Group pursuant to which the Company will acquire all
rights in the United States to Ameluz ® and RhodoLED ® . In connection with the Strategic Transaction,
additional agreements are to be executed, and the transfer of the U.S. Rights is expected to be completed by September 30, 2025.
Under the Term Sheet, and continuing once the U.S. Rights are transferred, the Company will pay a royalty of 12 %
(and 15% in years where Ameluz ® revenue in the United States exceeds $65.0 million). The royalty will replace the
transfer pricing model under the Company’s Second A&R Ameluz LSA effective as of February 13, 2024 by and among the
Company, and the Biofrontera Group.
In
exchange for the U.S. Rights, in addition to the aforementioned royalty and an agreement to transfer all costs associated with the U.S.
business, the Biofrontera Group will receive 3,019 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, which
represents a 10% post-money equity stake in the Company. See N ote 18. Subsequent Events for additional information.
Pursuant
to the Series
D Certificate of Designation each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is, subject to certain limitations specified
in the Series D Certification of Designation, convertible at the option of the holders thereof into shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and has voting rights on an as-converted basis. There were no shares
of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued, purchases of inventory or sales of inventory under the new terms of the Strategic Transaction
as of June 30, 2025 . See Note 18. Subsequent Events for additional information.
As
a condition precedent to the Strategic Transaction, the Company paid $ 3.1 million
for the settlement of costs which included the payment of all outstanding invoices due to the Biofrontera Group under the current
Second A&R Ameluz LSA as of June 16, 2025, payment of outstanding invoices due to component suppliers for the Lamps as of such date, and
payments for RhodoLED® lamps and the production cost of two batches of Ameluz produced prior to June 30, 2025
(which were delivered during the first week of July 2025). As of June 30, 2025, the Company accrued approximately $ 0.4
million of expenses related to the Strategic Transaction, primarily for legal expenses and some salaries and wages, which were
recorded in accounts payable, related parties net of applicable accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As
of June 30, 2025, the Company also recorded $ 1.0
million in other assets, related party for prepaid amounts for inventory-related purchases in accordance with the Strategic
Transaction.
License
and Supply Agreement
Under
the Second A&R Ameluz LSA (applicable for any tubes purchased through May 31, 2025), the Company had an exclusive, non-transferable
license to market and sell its licensed products, Ameluz ® and RhodoLED ® Lamps, in the United States and
was required to purchase the licensed products exclusively from Biofrontera Pharma, pursuant to which the price paid per unit was based
on certain percentages of the anticipated net selling price (the “Transfer Price”) that covered the cost of goods, royalties
on sales, and services, including all regulatory efforts, agency fees, pharmacovigilance, and patent administration, as follows:
●
Twenty-five
percent of the anticipated net selling price per unit through 2025;
●
Thirty
percent of the anticipated net selling price per unit for 2026 to 2028;
●
Thirty-two
percent of the anticipated net selling price per unit for 2029 to 2031;
●
Thirty-five
percent of the anticipated net selling price per unit for 2032 and beyond, subject to a minimum dollar amount per unit; and
●
The
Transfer Price for sales related to acne, another indication currently in development, will remain at twenty-five percent of the
anticipated net selling price per unit indefinitely.
The Second A&R Ameluz LSA also
provided for the transfer of responsibilities for clinical trials relating to Ameluz ® in the US on June 1, 2024, including
the Company assuming related contracts and transferring key personnel from the Ameluz Licensor to the Company.
15
The
Company entered into a Release of Claims with the Ameluz Licensor, dated February 13, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed to release
the Ameluz Licensor from all claims and liabilities arising out of or relating to any failure by the Ameluz Licensor to perform certain
obligations under the Second A&R Ameluz LSA with respect to clinical trials for which the Company assumed responsibility.
There
were no purchases of the licensed products for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Purchases of the licensed products (inclusive of
estimated and actual purchase price adjustments) were $ 0 and $ 3.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30,
2025, respectively, and $ 0.8 million and $ 1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
These purchases were recorded in inventories in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and, when sold, in cost of revenues, related
party in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts due and payable to Biofrontera Pharma as of June 30, 2025 and December 31,
2024 were $ 0.4 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively, and were recorded in accounts payable, related parties net of applicable accounts
receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Transactions
with Biofrontera Bioscience
Total
expenses paid to Biofrontera Bioscience for clinical trial costs as well as rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
2025 were $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively. There were no amounts due from or payable to Biofrontera Bioscience as of June
30, 2025.
Other
Effective
as of the date of the Strategic Transaction and for the following three years, as long as Biofrontera AG holds any shares of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock (or shares of Common Stock that were converted from Series D Convertible Preferred Stock), Biofrontera AG
shall have the right to appoint (i) if the board consists of seven or fewer members, one individual to the Company’s board of directors
; or (ii) if the board consists of eight or more directors the right to appoint two individuals . No appointments have been
made through the filing date.

Equity Incentive Plans and Share-Based Payments
2021
Omnibus Incentive Plan
In
2021, the Board adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”), under which the maximum
contractual term is 10 years for stock options issued. On June 12, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the
2021 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by 3,483,010 shares, from 266,990 shares to 3,750,000 shares. As of
June 30, 2025, there were 1,983,641 shares available for future awards under the amended 2021 Plan.
Non-qualified
stock options
The
Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of share-based awards granted as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the time of grant using the BSM model, which requires the use
of inputs and assumptions such as the fair value of the underlying stock, exercise price of the option, expected term, risk-free interest
rate, expected volatility and dividend yield. The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur.
The
fair value of each option is estimated on the date of the grant using the BSM option pricing model. There were no equity grants during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Share-based
compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.3 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative
expenses, with a negligible amount recorded as research and development on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to stock options of $ 0.2 million
and $ 0.3 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, with a negligible amount recorded as research and development,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

of the Common Stock for the options that were in the money at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
As
of June 30, 2025, there was $ 0.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.02 years.
Share-Based
Compensation (RSUs)
Restricted
Stock Units (“RSUs”) will vest annually over two years, subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company
through the applicable vesting dates. The fair value of each RSU is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s

Net Loss per Share
Basic
net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. The diluted shares include the dilutive effect of stock-based awards based on the treasury stock method. In periods
where a net loss is recorded, no effect is given to potentially dilutive securities, since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders

Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The
Company leases its corporate headquarters under an operating lease that expires in November 2025. The Company has the option to extend
the term of the lease for a five (5)-year period upon written notice to the landlord. The extension period has not been included in the
determination of the ROU asset or the lease liability as the Company concluded that it is not reasonably certain that it would exercise
this option. The Company provided the landlord with a security deposit in the amount of $ 0.1 million, which was recorded as other assets
in the consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company has also entered into a master lease agreement for its vehicles. After an initial non-cancelable twelve-month period, each vehicle
is leased on a month-to-month basis. Based on historical retention experience of approximately three years, the vehicles have varying
expiration dates through August 2028.

Second
A&R Ameluz LSA and Term Sheet Sales Commitments
The
Second A&R Ameluz LSA, as amended by the Term Sheet, shall be terminated, replaced, or amended (to the extent necessary)
in connection with the Strategic Transaction.
As it currently stands, t he
Second A&R Ameluz LSA, is to remain in effect for 15 years
from its effective date and shall renew automatically for a period of five years, in perpetuity, so long as we have earned revenues from
Ameluz product and lamps equal to or greater than $ 150
million over the preceding five years. If we fail to earn $ 150
million in revenues from Ameluz ® and the RhodoLED ®
Lamps over the preceding five (5) year period prior to the Second A&R Ameluz LSA’s termination date, Biofrontera Pharma has
the right to terminate the Second A&R Ameluz LSA by providing one (1) year written notice.
In
addition, effective in 2025, under the Second A&R Ameluz LSA, we are to purchase the higher of (i) a minimum quantity of tubes of
Ameluz ® per year as set forth in the Second A&R Ameluz LSA or (ii) 75% of the annual average of audited Ameluz ®
tubes sold during the preceding four (4) full calendar years. If we fail to achieve the respective minimum for any calendar year, such
failure will constitute a termination event, unless waived by the Ameluz Licensor.
As
agreed to in connection with the Strategic Transaction and pursuant to the Term Sheet, until the earlier to occur of (i)
the total cumulative Royalty paid to Sellers from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2031 exceeds $50 million, or (ii) the expiration of patent
protection on the Products allows for generic competition with the Products in the United States (collectively, the “Minimum
Royalty Term”), we are subject to a minimum annual Ameluz sales volume of 80,000 tubes. If such minimum annual volume is not
met during the Minimum Royalty Term and the Company does not otherwise pay minimum annual royalties of 12% of the net revenues of
80,000 tubes of Ameluz, the Biofrontera Group shall be entitled to minimum annual royalties of 12% of the net revenues of 80,000
tubes of Ameluz plus annual interest of 4%. Except in the case of certain limited exceptions, our failure to achieve this
sales volume during this timeframe for two consecutive years will constitute a termination event, unless waived by the Ameluz
Licensor.
Ameluz Minimum
Research and Development Costs
As it currently stands, the Second A&R Ameluz LSA provides that, during
the years 2025 through 2030, we will be required to fund minimum R&D costs in an amount that is at least 85% of the difference between
(i) the Transfer Price for product, effective February 13, 2024 and (ii) the Transfer Price for product as it would have been determined
under the previous version of the license and supply agreement with the Ameluz Licensor, dated October 8, 2021. If we fail to meet the
minimum requirement, the difference shall be paid to Biofrontera Pharma on February 15, 2031, in either cash or our Common Stock, at
our discretion. It is anticipated that this requirement to fund minimum R&D costs will no longer apply once the Second A&R
Ameluz LSA is terminated, replaced, or amended (to the extent necessary) in connection with the Strategic Transaction.
Licensing
Agreement with Optical Tools
On
December 2, 2022, the Company entered into the technology transfer agreement with Optical Tools LLC (“Optical Tools”), Stephen
Tobin and Paul Sowyrda (the “Agreement”). The Agreement allowed for the transfer of the assigned patents and trademarks,
and upon notification by the Company to Optical Tools, the research and development of certain prototypes. The Company paid a licensing
fee of $ 0.2 million which was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2022.
On
May 28, 2023, the Company authorized Optical Tools to design, develop, manufacture, and deliver at least two portable photodynamic therapy
lamp prototypes (“PDT Device”) using the technology in the assigned patents. The PDT Device provides illumination, based
on different light profiles, to the external skin surface of the human body. The Company is to reimburse Optical Tools for all reasonable
out-of-pocket, material and labor costs per the Agreement.
As
part of the Agreement, Optical Tools will be eligible to receive regulatory and sales milestone payments totaling up to $ 1.0 million,
and royalties of up to 3 % of net revenue of certain products developed under this Agreement.
The
Company did not make any milestone or royalty payments or accruals for such payments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025
or 2024.
Milestone
payments with Ferrer Internacional S.A.
Under
the license and supply agreement (as amended, the “Xepi LSA”) with Ferrer Internacional S.A. (“Ferrer”), we are
obligated to make payments to Ferrer upon the occurrence of certain milestones. Specifically, we must pay Ferrer (i) $ 2,000,000 upon
the first occasion when annual net sales of Xepi ® under the Xepi LSA exceed $ 25,000,000 , and (ii) $ 4,000,000 upon the
first occasion annual net sales of Xepi ® under the Xepi LSA exceed $ 50,000,000 . No payments or accruals for such payments
were made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024 related to Xepi ® milestones.

Legal
proceedings
At
each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably
estimable under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies . The Company expenses as incurred the legal costs related
to such legal proceedings.
Legal
Claims
On
September 13, 2023, Biofrontera was served with a complaint filed by DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.
(“Sun”), and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries LTD in which DUSA alleges i) breach of contract, ii) violation of the Lanham Act,
and iii) unfair trade practices under Massachusetts law. All claims stem from allegations that Biofrontera has promoted its Ameluz ®
product in a manner that is inconsistent with its approved FDA labeling. Though this complaint was originally filed in the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, this matter has been transferred by agreement of the parties to the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey. In March of 2024, Biofrontera Company filed a partial motion to dismiss the Lanham Act
and Massachusetts statutory claims, which was denied on October 15, 2024. Biofrontera subsequently answered Sun’s complaint and
filed counterclaims on October 30, 2024 alleging i) violation of the Lanham Act, ii) deceptive trade practices under Georgia law, and
iii) trade libel/product disparagement, which Sun answered on December 17, 2024. On March 11, 2025, Biofrontera received an additional
notice alleging breach of contract through unlawful marketing practices which makes reference to similar previous communications sent
by Sun to Biofrontera on February 4, 2022 and September 9, 2022.
Discovery
is ongoing in the above-referenced matters. The Company denies the claims brought by Sun and intends to defend them vigorously. Based
on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the above claims, the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of
the case, the Company cannot estimate the possibility of a material loss, nor the potential range of loss that may result from this action.
If the final resolution of the matter is adverse to the Company, it could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
Separately,
on June 26, 2024 and June 27, 2024, Sun filed two complaints against Biofrontera, Biofrontera AG, Biofrontera Pharma, and
Biofrontera Bioscience with the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the International Trade
Commission (“ITC”), both alleging infringement of two patents held by Sun (the “Sun Patents”). The complaint
filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts has been held in abeyance pending the completion of the
case before the ITC. A hearing was held in front of an administrative law judge between June 30, 2025 and July 3, 2025. The
ITC’s Initial Determination is expected by October 1, 2025 and a Final Determination is expected by February
2, 2026.
The
Company denies Sun’s patent claims and intends to defend them vigorously in the above-referenced matters. In addition, Biofrontera
has challenged the validity of the Sun Patents by filing separate petitions for inter partes review at the United States Patent Trial
and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) for each of the Sun Patents. One such petition was instituted by the PTAB on February 24, 2025,
while the PTAB issued a discretionary denial of the other petition on July 2, 2025.
21
Based
on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the above-referenced patent matters, as well as the uncertainty of litigation,
the Company cannot estimate the possibility of a material loss, nor the potential range of loss that may result from either action. Money
damages are not available to Sun through the case before the ITC, and an adverse ruling could result in an exclusion order being imposed
on the allegedly infringing product. If the final resolution of the case before the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts is adverse to the Company, it could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows.
