At June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $38.8 million and short-term investments of approximately $15.0 million.  Management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, along with the $26.8 million of net proceeds received from our underwritten public offering on July 21, 2015 (see Note 13), will be sufficient to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.  The estimate is based, in part, upon the Company’s currently projected expenditures for the remainder of 2015 and the first six months of 2016 of approximately $53.1 million, which includes approximately $36.1 million for its clinical programs for aldoxorubicin, approximately $2.3 million for pre-clinical development of new albumin-binding cancer drug candidates, approximately $3.9 million for general operation of its clinical programs, and approximately $10.8 million for other general and administrative expenses (including pre-commercialization). These projected expenditures are also based upon numerous other assumptions and subject to many uncertainties, and the Company’s actual expenditures may be significantly different from these projections.
 
If the Company obtains marketing approval and successfully commercializes aldoxorubicin or other product candidates, the Company anticipates it could take several years, for it to generate significant recurring revenue.  The Company will be dependent on future financing and possible strategic partnerships until such time, if ever, as it can generate significant recurring revenue. The Company has no commitments from third parties to provide any additional financing, and it may not be able to obtain future financing on favorable terms, or at all. If the Company fails to obtain sufficient funding when needed, it may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate all or a portion of its development programs or clinical trials, seek to license to other companies its product candidates or technologies that it would prefer to develop and commercialize itself, or seek to sell some or all of its assets or merge with or be acquired by another company.
