Note 2 – Liquidity
The Company anticipates that we will continue to consume cash and incur losses as we develop and commercialize our drug candidates. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of pharmaceutical products, the Company is unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to fund development of our drug candidates and obtain regulatory approvals. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors.
The Company believes its current cash position and cash expected to be generated from sales of FC2 will be adequate to fund planned operations of the Company for the next 12 months. To the extent the Company may need additional capital for its operations or the conditions for raising capital are favorable, the Company may access financing alternatives that may include debt financing, common stock offerings, or financing involving convertible debt or other equity-linked securities and may include financings under the Company’s current effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270606) (the “Current Shelf Registration Statement”) or under a new registration statement. The Company intends to be opportunistic when pursuing equity or debt financing, which could include selling common stock under its common stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (see Note 9) or its open market sale agreement with Jefferies LLC (see Note 9) to the extent sales may be made pursuant to such agreement. As a result of the Company’s failure to timely file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and a Current Report on Form 8-K that was due on February 27, 2024, the Company is ineligible to file new registration statements on Form S-3 until no earlier than March 1, 2025. If the Company seeks to access the capital markets through a registered offering pursuant to a new registration statement on Form S-1, the Company would be required to disclose the proposed offering and the material terms thereof before the offering commences. As a result of such disclosure and potential for SEC review of such registration statement on Form S-1, the Company may experience delays in the offering process and it may incur increased offering and transaction costs and other impediments to such an offering. If the Company was unable to raise capital through a registered offering, it may be required to raise capital on a private placement basis, which may be subject to pricing, size and other limitations imposed under NASDAQ rules, or seek other sources of capital. While the Company believes it will be able to continue to use the Current Shelf Registration Statement until it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2024, the Company’s failure to timely file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and the Form 8-K may impair its ability to conduct an underwritten or other offering under the Current Shelf Registration Statement, and as a result of this filing delinquency the Company is not in compliance with a provision of the open market sale agreement with Jefferies LLC, which would prevent the Company from making additional sales under such agreement unless such non-compliance is waived. Between the time the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2024 and at least March 1, 2025, the Company will not be able to sell any securities pursuant to the Current Shelf Registration Statement, including under its common stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC. |
