NOTE B Going Concern and Plan of Operations The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each period since its inception. Through September 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $35 million. The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through the sale of equity securities. The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $5.7 million and $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company has been engaged in developing a pipeline of product candidates since 2011. To date, the Company has not obtained regulatory approval for any of its product candidates nor generated any revenue from products and the Company expects to incur significant expenses to complete development of its product candidates. The Company may never be able to obtain regulatory approval for the marketing of any of its product candidates in any indication in the United States or internationally and there can be no assurance that the Company will generate revenues or ever achieve profitability. The Company will need to secure additional capital in order to fund operations and to continue and complete its planned clinical and operational activities related to the product candidates and technologies that the Company recently acquired from Aquarius (now known as Matinas BioPharma Nanotechnologies, Inc.). The Company can provide no assurances that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company instituted cost deferral and savings measures to preserve its cash. The Company has taken steps to reduce and delay expenses through the timing and monitoring of our preclinical animal programs and as well as reducing professional fees, and compensation expenses in the short term. The Company is anticipating that the existing cash balance on hand at the filing of this form 10Q would be sufficient to meet its operating obligations into April 2017. The Company’s recurring losses from operations, and need for additional funding, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, and as a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 with respect to this uncertainty. |
