Liquidity and going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $76.2 million, has incurred an operating loss of $8.9 million and a net loss of $20.5 million for the year then ended.

 

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash at December 31, 2014 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating needs and fund limited research and development into the third quarter of 2015, after giving effect to the receipt of approximately $2 million from the exercises of warrants and stock options subsequent to year end and the $2.5 million of availability under the "Backstop Agreement" (See Note 12).  The Company’s continued operations will depend on whether it is able to generate substantial revenue from the sale of Neutrolin and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, strategic relationships, or out-licensing of its products, until it achieves profitability, if ever.  However, the Company can provide no assurances that such financing or strategic relationships will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.  The Company expects to incur increases in its cash used in operations as it continues to commercialize Neutrolin in Europe and other foreign markets, increases its business development activities, incurs additional legal costs to defend its intellectual property and seeks FDA approval of Neutrolin in the U.S.  These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
