Sale of New Jersey Net Operating Losses

 

In January 2018, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million in non-dilutive financing through the State of New Jersey’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program (the “Program”). The Program enables approved biotechnology companies to sell their unused Net Operating Loss Carryovers and unused Research and Development Tax Credits for at least 80% of the value of the tax benefits to unaffiliated, profitable corporate taxpayers in the State of New Jersey. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the New Jersey Department of the Treasury’s Division of Taxation administer the Program. The Company used the proceeds from the sale for working capital purposes. The Company has now reached the maximum lifetime benefit of $15.0 million under the Program and will no longer be eligible to participate in the Program.
