As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash amounted to $9.9 million and current liabilities amounted to $4.5 million. The Company has expended substantial funds on its clinical trials and expects to continue our spending on research and development expenditures. Our net losses incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, amounted to $3.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and we had working capital of approximately $5.5 million and $4.2 million at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

 

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a new common stock purchase agreement (the “2020 Agreement”) with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC (“Aspire Capital”) which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock over the 24-month term of the 2020 Agreement. In consideration for entering into the 2020 Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 6,250,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock as a commitment fee. The commitment fee of approximately $1.4 million was recorded as deferred financing costs and additional paid-in capital and this asset will be amortized over the life of the 2020 Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the available balance was $25.4 million.

 

We anticipate that future budget expenditures will be approximately $8.3 million for the next 12 months, including approximately $6.3 million for clinical activities, supportive research, and drug product. Alternatively, if we decide to pursue a more aggressive plan with our clinical trials, we will require additional sources of capital during the fiscal year 2022 to meet our working capital requirements for our planned clinical trials. Potential sources for capital include grant funding for COVID-19 research and equity financings. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in receiving any grant funding for our programs.

 

Management believes that the amounts available from Aspire Capital and under the Company’s effective shelf registration statement will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for the next 12 months.

 

If we are unable to generate enough working capital from our current or future financing agreements with Aspire Capital (which expires in the first quarter of fiscal 2023) when needed or secure additional sources of funding, it may be necessary to significantly reduce our current rate of spending through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back or stopping certain research and development programs, including more costly Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials on our wholly-owned development programs as these programs progress into later stage development. Insufficient liquidity may also require us to relinquish greater rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms to us and our stockholders than we would otherwise choose in order to obtain up-front license fees needed to fund operations. These events could prevent us from successfully executing our operating plan.
