2. LIQUIDITY
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception and as of June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $24.7 million. To date, the Company has not generated any revenues and has financed its operations primarily through a private offering of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and its initial public offering (“IPO”), which closed on July 19, 2018.
In April 2017, the Company completed its private placement of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company issued an aggregate 11,381,999 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at $2.50 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $26.7 million.
In July 2018, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 15,969,563 shares of common stock in its IPO at a public offering price of $4.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued to MDB Capital Group, LLC, (“MDB”), the underwriter in the IPO, and its designees warrants to purchase 1,596,956 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of $59.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Upon the closing of the IPO, all of the Company’s shares of convertible redeemable preferred stock outstanding at the time of the offering were automatically converted into 11,381,999 shares of common stock. In addition, the warrants issued in connection with the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock also converted to warrants for the purchase of 558,740 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to research and development and expects to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses over the next several years due to, among other things, costs related to research funding, development of its product candidates and its preclinical programs, strategic alliances and the development of its administrative organization. The Company’s net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
The Company will require substantial additional financing to fund its operations and to continue to execute its strategy. The Company intends to raise capital through public or private equity financings. The sale of equity and other securities may result in dilution to the Company’s stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of the Company’s existing shares. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict the Company’s operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require the Company to relinquish valuable rights. The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of the Company’s clinical development programs. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to the Company. Lack of necessary funds may require the Company, among other things, to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of the Company’s planned operations.
Based on the Company’s business plans, management believes that it has sufficient cash on hand to meet the Company’s obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. |
