Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $26.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $13.3 million of investments available-for-sale, working capital of $40.0 million and an accumulated deficit of $321.4 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $16.2 million. Management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as going concern for at least the next 12 months from the filing of this report. Based on the currently available working capital, capital raise and debt financing described below, management believes the Company currently has sufficient funds to meet its operating requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this report.

In February 2020, the Company sold 3,670,212 shares of its common stock for proceeds of $8.0 million, net of issuance costs. On March 16, 2020, the Company closed a debt financing transaction with net proceeds at closing of approximately $21.2 million, net of fees and expenses (See Note 15 for further detail).

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold 987,716 shares of its common stock as part of its sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. for proceeds of $2.0 million, net of issuance costs. Approximately $32.6 million remains available for sale under this facility. See Note 10 for further detail.

The Company will require additional capital to sustain its operations and make the investments it needs to execute upon its longer-term business plan, including the continued commercialization of Triferic Dialysate and Triferic AVNU, executing plans for enhancing its medical capabilities, generating additional data for Triferic and developing Triferic for new therapeutic indications. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from its existing long-term business plan, the Company will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing. If the Company attempts to obtain additional debt or equity financing, the Company cannot assume that such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have adversely affected our business and operations, including, but not limited to, our sales and marketing efforts and our research and development activities, and the operations of third parties upon whom we rely. As noted above, we intend to initiate a sample evaluation program for Triferic AVNU during the third quarter of 2020 in order to prepare for a commercial launch. Quarantines, shelter-in-place, executive and similar government orders may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities, particularly if our sales representatives are unable to interact with current and potential customers to the same extent as before onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the severity of the impact on our sales and marketing efforts, the timing of our commercial launch of Triferic AVNU could be adjusted into the first quarter of 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have caused significant volatility in financial and credit markets. We have utilized a range of financing methods to fund our operations in the past; however, current conditions in the financial and

credit markets may limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the global situation, it is not possible to predict the extent to which these conditions could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future.
