The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2019 of approximately $95.6 million and a net loss of approximately $3.5 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.6 million for the six months then ended. In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Since May 2005, the Company has been engaged exclusively in research and development activities focused on developing targeted antiviral drugs. The Company has not yet commenced any product commercialization. Such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to attain sales levels sufficient to support its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or maintain profitability in the future. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million.

Management adjusted its planned expenditures, activities, and programs, in accordance with budgetary constraints and in accordance with its expectations of obtaining additional financing.

The Company has made several adjustments to its past expenditures in the ensuing annual budget, eliminating several expenses including a reduction in workforce and consultants to the extent feasible without affecting its program of drug development. In addition, the Company has focused its efforts primarily on a single lead program to minimize cost outlays, namely, taking the shingles drug candidate against VZV into human clinical trials. Management’s budget indicates that these changes have freed up sufficient funds to allow for the ensuing costs of the external advanced IND-enabling studies of this drug candidate. Management has advanced several options for financing the net working capital deficit as well as to obtain additional funds that will be needed for future human clinical trials.

On December 16, 2019, the Company entered into an Open End Mortgage Note with Anil Diwan, the Company's founder, Chairman and President, to loan the Company up to $2,000,000. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had drawn down $1.1 million on this note.

On December 17, 2019, the Company entered into a Deferred Expense Exchange Agreement with TheraCour Pharma, Inc. (“TheraCour”), whereby TheraCour agreed to exchange a portion of the previously deferred development fees owed to TheraCour in the amount of $250,000 into 100,000 Series A preferred shares.

On November 7, 2019, the Company engaged Aegis Capital Corp for an underwritten offering pursuant to a Form S-1 filing. On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Aegis Capital Corp. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell 2,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share for $3.00 per share. We also granted the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares of our common stock (together with the Underwritten Shares, the "Shares") within 45 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement to cover over-allotments, The offering was consummated on January 25, 2020. The Company sold the Underwritten Shares and the underwriter exercised its option to purchase an additional 375,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $3.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company after underwriter's commission and agreed upon customary fees and expenses were approximately $7.8 million, before deducting the Company's legal and accounting expenses related to the Offering. See Note 11.

In addition, the Company believes that it has several important milestones that it will be achieving in the ensuing year. Management believes that as it achieves these milestones, the Company would likely experience improvement in the liquidity of the Company’s stock, and would eventually improve the Company’s ability to raise funds on the public markets at terms that may be more favorable to the terms we are offered at present.

The Company believes that its existing resources will be sufficient to fund its planned operations and expenditures for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. However, the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund its long term operations and research and development plans until it generates revenue which reaches a level sufficient to provide self-sustaining cash flows. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company believes that the management plan, the Company’s existing resources and access to the capital markets will permit the Company to fund planned operations and expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates.
