Notes to Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our interim financial information. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2015 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 or for any other interim period or any other future period. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 29, 2015. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As an entity having not yet achieved sustainable revenues, we have experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations resulting in a deficit of $123.2 million accumulated from inception in May 1998 through December 31, 2015. We expect losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop AV-101 for Major Depressive Disorder and additional CNS indications, and engage in drug rescue, drug development and exploratory regenerative medicine programs. Since our inception in May 1998 through December 31, 2015, we have financed our operations through (1) the issuance and sale of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants for common stock, and promissory notes for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $33.8 million; (2) issuance of common stock and preferred stock with an approximate value at issuance of $28.9 million as consideration for, among other things, technology license fees and patent prosecution, sponsored research, contract research, drug development, drug manufacturing, U.S. and foreign regulatory services, as well as legal, corporate development and financial advisory services; and (3) receipt of aggregate non-dilutive cash proceeds of approximately $16.4 million from government research and development grant awards and strategic collaboration transactions. As described more completely in Note 7, Convertible Promissory Notes and other Notes Payable, and Note 8, Capital Stock, in May 2015, we created our Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred). Between March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015, we extinguished approximately $17.2 million of indebtedness through conversion of such indebtedness into our Series B Preferred and, with respect to a portion of the indebtedness converted, warrants to purchase our common stock. More specifically, we converted (i) all Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes originally issued to Platinum Long Term Growth VII, LLC (Platinum), (ii) all 2014 Unit Notes outstanding at March 31, 2015 and those issued subsequently, and (iii) certain other outstanding promissory notes, including promissory notes issued to Cato Research Ltd., Cato Holding Company, Morrison & Foerster LLP (Note A and Note B), McCarthy Tetrault, Burr Pilger & Mayer, University Health Network (Toronto), the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, National Jewish Health and others, into an aggregate of 2,618,917 shares of our Series B Preferred. Additionally, through December 31, 2015, we issued in self-placed private placement transactions with Platinum and other accredited investors, Series B Preferred Units consisting of an aggregate of 628,264 unregistered shares of Series B Preferred and five-year warrants to purchase 628,264 shares of our common stock, and we received cash proceeds of $4,397,800 therefrom. See Note 10, Subsequent Events, regarding disclosure of additional self-placed private placement sales of Series B Preferred Units after December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015, we did not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to enable us to fund our planned operations over the next twelve months, including expected cash expenditures of approximately $6.0 million. In August 2015, we entered into an agreement with Platinum (August 2015 Agreement) pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Platinum an additional $3.0 million of our Series B Preferred and Series B Warrants (collectively, Series B Units). Through December 31, 2015, Platinum purchased an additional $1.65 million of Series B Units under the August 2015 Agreement. Concurrently with its December 2015 purchase of $1.0 million of Series B Units and at our request, Platinum agreed to cancel its right to purchase the remaining $1.35 million of the Series B Units under the August 2015 Agreement. As more particularly disclosed in Note 10, Subsequent Events, from January 1, 2016 through February 12, 2016, we sold to certain accredited investors other than Platinum $128,000 of our Series B Units in self-placed private placement transactions. We intend to raise additional capital through conversions, exchanges, issuances, and/or sales of our securities, which may include both debt and equity securities. We may also seek research and development collaborations that could generate revenue, as well as government grant awards. Further, strategic collaborations, such as our February 2015 Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) providing NIMH funding of our Phase 2A study of AV-101 in MDD, may provide resources to support a portion of our future cash needs and working capital requirements. Although we may seek additional collaborations that could generate revenue, as well as new government grant awards, no assurance can be provided that any such collaborations or awards will occur in the future. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, without limitation, the scope and nature of opportunities related to our success and the success of certain other companies in clinical trials, including our development of AV-101 as a treatment for MDD and other CNS conditions, and our stem cell technology platform, the availability of, and our ability to obtain, government grant awards and our ability to enter into collaborations on terms acceptable to us. To further advance the clinical development of AV-101 and our stem cell technology platform, as well as support our operating activities, we plan to continue to carefully manage our routine operating costs, including the size of our staff and staff salaries and benefits, as well as costs relating to regulatory consulting, contract research and development, investor relations and corporate development, legal, accounting, public company compliance and other professional services and working capital costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, substantial additional financing may not be available to us on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain substantial additional financing on a timely basis in the near term, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed, the price of our stock may decline, we may be required to reduce, defer, or discontinue certain of our research and development activities, including those relating to AV-101, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
