NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Description of Business

 

Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary (collectively, “Jasper” or the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to enabling cures through therapeutics targeting mast and hematopoietic stem cells. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of safer and more effective therapeutic agents for diseases such as Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, Lower to Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome and novel conditioning regimens for stem cell transplantation and ex-vivo gene therapy, a technique in which genetic manipulation of cells is performed outside of the body prior to transplantation. The Company is headquartered in Redwood City, California.

 

On September 24, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination” or “Reverse Recapitalization” for accounting purposes) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2021 (the “BCA”), by and among Amplitude Healthcare Acquisition Corporation (“AMHC”), Ample Merger Sub, Inc., a then-wholly-owned subsidiary of AMHC (“Merger Sub”), and the pre-Business Combination Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (now named Jasper Tx Corp.) (“Old Jasper”). Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, on the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Old Jasper, with Old Jasper as the surviving company in the Business Combination, and, after giving effect to such Business Combination, Old Jasper became a wholly owned subsidiary of AMHC and changed its name to “Jasper Tx Corp.”, and (ii) AMHC changed its name to “Jasper Therapeutics, Inc.”.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $14.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had negative operating cash flows of $10.3 million and $14.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $119.4 million and $105.1 million, respectively. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses, and its ability to achieve and sustain profitability will depend on the successful development, approval, and commercialization of product candidates and on the achievement of sufficient revenues to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $129.4 million. The Company’s management expects that the existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating plans for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will need to raise additional financing to continue its products’ development for the foreseeable future, and expects to continue doing so until it becomes profitable. The Company’s management plans to monitor expenses and raise additional capital through a combination of public and private equity, debt financings, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if capital is not available to the Company when, and in the amounts needed, the Company may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of its research or development programs or the commercialization of any product candidate, or be unable to expand its operations or otherwise capitalize on the Company’s business opportunities, as desired, which could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
