Financial Condition

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million and restricted cash of $0.1 million, and working capital was approximately $2.0 million. Restricted cash consists of two letters of credit relating to purchase orders for the TRACER 1000 product. The Company reported a net loss of $7.5 million for the fiscal year 2019 and a net loss of $6.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, along with net cash used in operating activities of $8.5 million for the fiscal year 2019 and net cash used in operating activities of $5.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management’s Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company remains resolute in identifying the optimal solution to its liquidity issue. The Company is currently evaluating several potential sources for additional liquidity. These include, but are not limited to, selling the Company or a portion thereof, licensing some of its technology, raising additional funds through capital markets, debt financing, equity financing, merging, or engaging in a strategic partnership. On February 13, 2020, the Company entered into a private placement transaction with Mr. Thomas B. Pickens III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, for the issuance and sale of a secured promissory note to Mr. Pickens with a principal amount of $1.0 million. On March 25, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers named therein, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, 354,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an offering price of $5.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into a second securities purchase agreement with certain purchasers named therein, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, 873,335 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an offering price of $3.75 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million through the sale of shares of common stock from November 9, 2018 through March 25, 2020 through an “at the market offering” program (the “ATM Offering”), which was terminated on March 25, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating potential offerings of any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, or any combination of the foregoing, either individually or as units comprised of one or more of the other securities. However, additional funding may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us.  If we are unable to generate funding within a reasonable timeframe, we may have to delay, reduce or terminate our research and development programs, limit strategic opportunities, or curtail our business activities. Astrotech’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause disruption in the Company’s  supply chain; cause delay, or limit the ability of customers to perform, including in making timely payments to the Company; cause delay in regulatory certification testing of the Company’s instruments; impact investment performance; and cause other unpredictable events. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.
