LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0.4 million in cash and an accumulated deficit of $116.8 million. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company used cash of $10.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively, in operations.

 

The Company’s cash balances as of the date that these financial statements were issued along with the proceeds from the above sale to Chembio, without additional financing, are expected to fund operations only into the second quarter of 2024. The Company expects to continue to have net losses and negative cash flow from operations, which will challenge its liquidity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the one-year period following the date that these financial statements were issued.

 

 

There is no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In order to fully execute its business plan, the Company will require significant additional financing for planned research and development activities, capital expenditures, clinical testing for QN-302 and preclinical development of Pan-RAS, as well as commercialization activities.

 

Historically, the Company’s principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity and proceeds from the issuance of debt. In December 2022 the Company raised $3.0 million from the sale of an 8% Senior Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) to Alpha (see Note 8 - Convertible Debt - Related Party). There can be no assurance that further financing can be obtained on favorable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect the Company’s business prospects.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore, be required to liquidate its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements
