| On May 4, 2020, the Company announced that the pivotal Phase 3 head and neck cancer study of Multikine immunotherapy had reached the targeted threshold of 298 events (deaths) required to conduct the data evaluation. Database lock is competed and the Phase 3 study is now in the final statistical analysis phase. The Company will continue to remain blinded to the study results throughout this process. The Company will be advised of the results when the analysis is completed, and the study results will be announced to the public at that time. The Company has incurred significant costs since its inception for the acquisition of certain proprietary technology and scientific knowledge relating to the human immunological defense system, patent applications, research and development, administrative costs, construction of laboratory facilities and participation in clinical trials. The Company has funded such costs primarily with proceeds from loans and the public and private sale of its securities. The Company will be required to raise additional capital or find additional long-term financing to continue with its research efforts. The ability to raise capital may be dependent upon market conditions that are outside the control of the Company. The ability of the Company to complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain FDA approval for the sale of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain. Ultimately, the Company must complete the development of its products, obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure. The Company believes there is a high likelihood that it will continue to receive funds from private and public offerings and warrant exercises similarly to the way it has substantially funded operations for the past 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to support its operations.
| To finance the Company through marketing approval, the Company plans to raise additional capital in the form of warrant exercises, corporate partnerships, and debt and/or equity financings. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain additional financing because it has done so consistently in the past and because the Multikine Phase 3 study has ended and is only awaiting final results. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds on a timely basis or that the funds will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company does not raise the necessary amounts of money, it may have to curtail its operations until such time as it is able to raise the required funding. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, because of the rapid increase in exposure globally, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the risks to public health and the impact of overall global business activity on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, but due to the Company’s recurring losses from operations and future liquidity needs, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
