Related party financing

        Lenders A and B have provided financing to the Company since its inception. Lenders A, B, C and D had agreed to provide funding under the April 13, 2016 amended and restated March 1, 2016 agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred approximately $1,213,000 and $3,603,000, respectively of interest expense to these Lenders which was subsequently waived (see Note 6). This debt was converted to equity at the time of the Merger.

Consulting agreement

        The Company had a consulting agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who is also a stockholder of the Company. The consulting agreement automatically renewed monthly unless terminated. The consulting agreement could be terminated upon fifteen (15) day notice by the Company or the CEO. The consultant was paid $93,000 and $165,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. On July 22, 2016, this consulting agreement was replaced by an employment agreement for the position of Chief Medical Officer ("CMO") upon the completion of the Merger (see Note 3).
