(2) Development-Stage Risks and Liquidity
The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has accumulated a deficit during the development stage of $109,268 as of March 31, 2012. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its products currently in development.
Management estimates that cash and cash equivalents of $14,574 as of March 31, 2012, of which $3,000 is required to be maintained under the terms of our Term Loan Facility, will be sufficient to fund operations, debt service and interest obligations into the third quarter of 2012. Additional capital will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and capital requirements beyond that point. There is no assurance that such capital will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
To meet its capital needs, the Company is considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, debt financings, corporate collaboration and licensing agreements and other funding transactions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. Until such time as the Company is able to secure the necessary funding, it plans to continue conserving its capital resources, predominantly by focusing on activities related to NP101.
The Company is subject to those risks associated with any development-stage specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially successful. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change, and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants. |
