Basis of Presentation and Going Concern	2. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ContraVir and its subsidiaries ContraVir Research Inc. and ContraVir Research Corp, which conducts its operations in Canada. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Going Concern As of December 31, 2018, ContraVir had $2.8 million in cash. Net cash used in operating activities was $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $9.4 million. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $76.5 million. As of December 31, 2018, ContraVir had working capital of $0.1 million, whereas on December 31, 2017 ContraVir had working capital of $3.5 million. The Company has not generated revenue to date and has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. The Company has historically funded its operations through issuances of convertible debt, common stock and preferred stock. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the next several years as it expands its research, development and clinical trials of TXL™ and CRV431. The Company is unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when the Company will become profitable, if at all. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Due to the Company’s recurring and expected continuing losses from operations, the Company has concluded there is substantial doubt in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements without additional capital becoming available to attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company will be required to raise additional capital within the next year to continue the development and commercialization of current product candidates and to continue to fund operations at the current cash expenditure levels. The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may have to (i) significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; (ii) seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on unfavorable terms.
