The Company is headquartered in Irvine, California. In January 2018, the Company’s board of directors and its then-sole stockholder approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a split of shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1.6527-for-1 basis (the “Stock Split”). The Company’s then-outstanding shares of convertible Series A preferred stock (“Series A preferred stock”), the par value of the common stock, and the authorized shares of the common stock were not adjusted as a result of the Stock Split. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, stock options, restricted stock units and related per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Stock Split for all periods presented. The Stock Split was effected on January 26, 2018. On February 12, 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 5,047,514 shares of common stock, which included the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 47,514 additional shares of common stock, at an offering price to the public of $12.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $56.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, excluding other offering costs. In connection with the IPO, the Company’s then-outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock were automatically converted into 2,065,875 shares of common stock. In connection with the completion of its IPO, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation was further amended and restated to provide for 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. In July 2018, the Company completed a follow-on public offering (the “Follow-On Offering”) in which the Company sold 3,600,000 shares of its common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 600,000 shares of common stock in August 2018, at a price to the public of $20.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $67.7 million from the Follow-On Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, excluding other offering expenses. In connection with the completion of its IPO, the Company also entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with ALPHAEON Corporation (“ALPHAEON”), its controlling stockholder. The Services Agreement sets forth certain agreements between ALPHAEON and the Company that govern the respective responsibilities and obligations between ALPHAEON and the Company as it relates to the services to be performed between the parties. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, ALPHAEON provides the Company, and the Company provides ALPHAEON, certain administrative and development support services. Prior to the IPO, the Company was dependent upon ALPHAEON for its working capital and financing requirements. As of November 1, 2018, ALPHAEON, which is majority-owned by SCH-AEON, LLC (“SCH”), owns 58.1% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Liquidity and Financial Condition The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has incurred recurring net operating losses. The Company has recorded net loss and comprehensive losses of $11.8 million and $34.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company also recorded net loss and comprehensive losses of $2.6 million and $8.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Additionally, the Company used $13.7 million and $12.2 million cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $105.2 million in cash and had an accumulated deficit of $110.6 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed the Follow-On Offering and received net proceeds of approximately $67.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, excluding other offering costs. The Company believes that its current capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued based on the expected cash burn rate. The Company may be required to raise additional capital to fund future operations through the sale of its equity securities, incurring debt, entering into licensing or collaboration agreements with partners, grants or other sources of financing. Sufficient funds may not be available to the Company at all or on attractive terms when needed from equity or debt financings. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding from these or other sources when needed, or to the extent needed, it may be necessary to significantly reduce its scope of operations and its current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back, or suspending certain research and development or sales and marketing programs and other operational goals. There can be no assurance, however, that such funding efforts will be successful or that, in the event they are successful, the terms and conditions of such financing will be favorable to the Company.
