Liquidity and Financial Condition

Note 2 — Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company has had limited operating activities to date, substantially all of which have been devoted to seeking licenses and engaging in research and development activities. The Company’s product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts prior to commercialization. The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily using proceeds received from seed investors, and proceeds received upon the completion of its IPO.

 

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of approximately $18.6 million, working capital of approximately $16.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.0 million.

 

On April 19, 2022, the Company completed a private placement in which it received approximately $7.0 million in net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other initial offering expenses, see Note 11. The Company believes the existing cash at March 31, 2022, together with the net proceeds received upon the close of the private placement, will be sufficient to continue operations, satisfy its obligations and fund the future expenditures that will be required to conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop its product candidates for at least one year after the date that these financial statements are available to be issued. As such, the Company determined that it is not probable based on projected cash flows that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists for the one-year period following the date that the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were available to be issued.

 

The Company will require significant additional capital to make the investments it needs to execute its longer-term business plan. The Company expects a significant increase in cash outflows as compared to its historical spend for its planned pre-clinical development and clinical trial activities, and as such, it will need to raise additional capital to sustain operations and meet its long-term operating requirements beyond the one year period following the issuance of these financial statements. The Company expects to seek additional funding through additional debt or equity financings; however, there are currently no commitments in place for further financing nor is there any assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail any clinical trials and development of products and take additional measures to reduce expenses in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations in the long-term.
