Note 3 – Liquidity

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $16.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, primarily provided by $29.1 million of pre-existing cash on Edge’s balance sheets that the Company obtained as a result of the Merger and net proceeds of $12.8 million from the sale of our common stock. The Company’s primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, primarily research and development expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when the Company pays these expenses, as reflected in the change to the Company’s outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

In July 2019, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement, or the Aspire Purchase Agreement, with Aspire Capital, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, at the Company’s discretion, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”), over the 30-month term of the Aspire Purchase Agreement. The Company may sell an aggregate of 1,034,979 shares of its common stock (which represented 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on the date of the Aspire Purchase Agreement) without stockholder approval. The Company may sell additional shares of its common stock above the 19.99% limit provided that (i) it obtains stockholder approval or (ii) stockholder approval has not been obtained at any time the 1,034,979 share limitation is reached and at all times thereafter the average price paid for all shares issued under the Aspire Purchase Agreement, is equal to or greater than $5.76, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on July 26, 2019. On July 29, 2019, the Company issued 100,654 shares of our common stock to Aspire Capital, as consideration for entering into the Aspire Purchase Agreement.  As of June 30, 2020 no shares have been sold to Aspire.

In February 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering, in which we sold 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $1.30 per share. The shares sold included 769,230 shares issued upon the exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional shares at the public offering price, minus underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $13 million and net proceeds of approximately $11.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

On July 22, 2020, the Company filed a shelf registration statement (the “2020 Shelf Registration Statement”), with the SEC, for the issuance of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, debt securities and units (collectively, the “Shelf Securities”), up to an aggregate amount of $100 million. The 2020 Shelf Registration Statement was declared effective on July 31, 2020. On August 13, 2020, the Company sold 6,900,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $2.75 per share pursuant to the 2020 Shelf Registration Statement, which includes 900,000 shares issued upon the exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional shares at the public offering price, minus underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $19.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $17.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Approximately $81,000,000 of Shelf Securities remain available for future sale under the 2020 Shelf Registration Statement.

Our primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, primarily research and development expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year beyond the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company’s budgeted cash requirements in 2020 and beyond include expenses related to continuing development and clinical studies.  Based on the Company’s available cash resources and cash flow projections as of the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issuance, the Company believes there are sufficient funds to continue operations and research and development programs for at least 12 months from the date of this report. Until the Company can generate significant cash from its operations, the Company expects to continue to fund its operations with its available financial resources. These financial resources may not be adequate to sustain its operations.

The Company plans to continue to fund its operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financings. However, the Company cannot be certain that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its existing stockholders.  The Company may also enter into government funding programs and consider selectively partnering for clinical development and commercialization. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to its stockholders. Incurring debt financing would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict the Company’s operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market immunotherapies that the Company would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself. Any of these actions could harm the Company’s business, results of operations and prospects. Failure to obtain adequate financing also may adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate as a going concern.
