The Company’s condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the condensed financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2023 of approximately $135.1 million and a net loss of approximately $4.0 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.9 million for the six months then ended. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Since May 2005, the Company has been engaged exclusively in research and development activities focused on developing targeted antiviral drugs. The Company has not yet commenced any product commercialization. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or maintain profitability in the future. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.2 million.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has focused its efforts primarily on a single lead program to minimize cost outlays, namely, taking the COVID drug candidate against SARS-CoV-2 into human clinical trials. The same drug candidate, with the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) NV-387, demonstrated effectiveness against RSV, indicating that its broad-spectrum antiviral activity is not limited to coronaviruses. The prior lead program for a shingles drug will follow the regulatory development of the NV-387 drug program. The Company believes that it has several important upcoming milestones, including Phase 1a/1b human clinical trials for the Company’s broad-spectrum, pan-coronavirus drug NV-CoV-2, that is now in progress. Management believes that as it achieves these milestones, the Company’s ability to raise additional funds in the public markets would be enhanced. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise funds on terms acceptable to it, or at all.

Management believes that the Company’s existing resources, including availability under its $2 million line of credit will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates. The Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its long-term operations and research and development plans including human clinical trials for its various drug candidates until it generates revenue that reaches a level sufficient to provide self-sustaining cash flows. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital or that it will be on acceptable terms. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
