LPATH, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
Note 1 — BASIS FOR PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lpath, Inc. (“Lpath” or “the company”) as of December 31, 2013 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and certain information and disclosures normally included have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or for any future financial period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a converged standard on revenue recognition. The new pronouncement requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASC 2014-9 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS
In 2010, Lpath entered into an agreement providing Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) with an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP™ (“the Pfizer Agreement”), Lpath’s lead monoclonal antibody product candidate that is being evaluated for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (“wet AMD”) and other ocular disorders.
Following completion of the clinical trial, Pfizer has the right to exercise its option for worldwide rights to iSONEP for an undisclosed option fee and, if Pfizer exercises its option, Lpath will be eligible to receive development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments that could total up to $497.5 million. In addition, Lpath will be entitled to receive tiered double-digit royalties based on sales of iSONEP. As part of the agreement, Lpath has granted to Pfizer a time-limited right of first refusal for ASONEP™, Lpath’s product candidate that is being evaluated for the treatment of cancer.
The company recognized revenue under research and development collaborative agreements as follows:

As of June 30, 2014, there was a total of $2.4 million in unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation under the Lpath, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. Because of its net operating loss carryforwards, the company did not realize any tax benefits for the tax deductions from share-based payment arrangements during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Note 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Lpath has issued warrants, of which some are classified as equity and some as liabilities. The warrants issued in March 2012 (and expiring in March 2017) provide that in the event of a fundamental transaction, as defined by the warrant agreement, the company may, under certain circumstances, be obligated to settle the March 2012 warrants for cash equal to the value of the warrants determined in accordance with the warrant agreement. The company’s recurring fair value measurements at June 30, 2014 were as follows:
|
|
|
Fair Value as of |

Significant |

| ||
|
Warrants expiring March 2017 |
|
$ |
1,700,000 |
|
$ |
1,700,000 |
|
The company determined the fair value of the warrant liability for certain warrants, as applicable, using a Black-Scholes model. The model considered amounts and timing of future possible equity and warrant issuances and volatility of the company’s stock price equal to 100%, as specified in the underlying warrants.
Recurring Level 3 Activity, Reconciliation, and Basis for Valuation
The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The company determined the fair value of the warrant liability for certain warrants, as applicable, using a Black-Scholes model. The model considered amounts and timing of future possible equity and warrant issuances and historical volatility of the company’s stock price.
The terms of all outstanding warrants permit the company, upon exercise of the warrants, to settle the contract by the delivery of unregistered shares. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, 5,715 warrants expired. As of June 30, 2014, there were 924,241 warrants outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $7.58 per share expiring through May 2017.
Note 5 — COMMON STOCK
On March 18, 2014, Lpath entered into an at-the-market issuance sales agreement with MLV (the “MLV Agreement”). Pursuant to the MLV Agreement, the company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $23 million (subject to limitations set by the SEC if the aggregate market-value of the company’s common stock held by non-affiliates remains below $75 million) from time to time, at the company’s option, through MLV. Sales of common stock through MLV, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by the Lpath and MLV. Subject to the terms and conditions of the MLV Agreement, MLV will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the common stock based upon the company’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). Lpath is not obligated to make any sales of its common stock under the MLV Agreement. Any shares sold will be sold pursuant to the company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The company will pay MLV a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds. The MLV Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of the sale of all common stock subject to the MLV Agreement or termination of the MLV Agreement by the company or MLV. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the company sold 268,840 shares at sales prices ranging from $4.25 to $4.76 per share, resulting in $1,189,000 in net proceeds. From July 1, 2014 to August 8, 2014, the company sold 27,505 shares at sales prices ranging from $3.50 to $4.08 per share, resulting in $99,000 in net proceeds.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Lpath, Inc. (“Lpath”, the “company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those identified in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Overview
We are a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of lipidomic-based therapeutic antibodies, an emerging field of medical science that targets bioactive signaling lipids to treat a wide range of human diseases. We have two product candidates that are currently in clinical development, and one in pre-clinical evaluation.
iSONEP™ is the ocular formulation of sonepcizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) against sphingosine-1-phosphate (“S1P”). Sphingomab™ is the original mouse version of this monoclonal antibody. iSONEP is administered by intravitreal injection, and has demonstrated multiple mechanisms of action in ocular models of disease, including anti-angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-vascular permeability. This combination of mechanisms would suggest: (i) iSONEP might have a comparative advantage over currently marketed products for “wet” age-related macular degeneration (“wet AMD”) and (ii) iSONEP might demonstrate clinical efficacy in a broad range of retinal diseases where there is currently a significant unmet medical need, including diabetic retinopathy, dry AMD, and glaucoma-related surgery.
We entered into an agreement with Pfizer Inc. in December 2010, and amended it in 2012 (collectively, the “Pfizer Agreement”), that provides Pfizer with an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP. Under the Pfizer Agreement, we are conducting a Phase 2 study in wet AMD patients (the “Nexus trial”). We began enrolling patients in the Nexus trial in October 2011. We anticipate to complete dosing the last Nexus trial patient during the second half of 2014. The actual time required to complete our clinical trials will depend upon a number of factors outside of our direct control, including those discussed in “Risk Factors — We may have delays in completing our clinical trials, and we may not complete them at all” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
In October 2013, we announced that we had received notice from Pfizer that Pfizer would be seeking to divest certain ophthalmology research and development assets, including Pfizer’s rights and obligations under the Pfizer Agreement. We presented offers to Pfizer to reacquire those rights. However, in December 2013, Pfizer informed us that our offers were not competitive with other offers. Acquisition of Pfizer’s rights and obligations under the terms of the Pfizer Agreement by a third party would not affect the terms of the Pfizer Agreement, as the existing rights and obligations currently held by Pfizer will be assumed by to the third party or remain with Pfizer based on the terms of the agreement between Pfizer and the third party. Since December 2013, Pfizer has maintained its position that it is continuing a process to divest certain of its ophthalmology research and development assets, including its rights and obligations under the Pfizer Agreement. Nevertheless, we believe that Pfizer may now be waiting until they receive the results of the Nexus trial before completing or stopping its process, given that we are closer to the completion of the Nexus trial.
Following completion of the Nexus study, Pfizer (or a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) has the right to exercise its option for worldwide rights to iSONEP for an undisclosed option fee and, if Pfizer (or a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) exercises its option, we will be eligible to receive development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments that could total up to $497.5 million. In addition, we will be entitled to receive tiered double-digit royalties based on sales of iSONEP.
As of June 30, 2014, Pfizer had paid the Company $22.6 million pursuant to the terms of the Pfizer Agreement. The amendment to the Pfizer Agreement did not modify the Company’s obligation to fund $6.0 million of Nexus trial expenses, which it completed during 2013. The terms of the Pfizer Agreement specify that, since the Company has fulfilled its funding obligation, Pfizer (or any third party who acquires Pfizer’s rights) will fund the remaining expenses necessary to complete the Nexus trial. Pfizer has continued to meet its funding obligations under the Pfizer Agreement.
ASONEP™ is the systemic formulation of sonepcizumab. We are collaborating with investigators at several medical research institutions on a Phase 2 clinical trial testing ASONEP as a treatment for renal cell carcinoma. In July 2014, we reported interim results for this study, and announced that, based on the safety profile of ASONEP and promising interim results, we plan to move the project forward and initiate dosing in a second cohort of patients.
As part of the Pfizer Agreement, Lpath has granted to Pfizer (or a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) a time-limited right of first refusal for ASONEP, which period ends on the latest date that Pfizer, or a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights, may exercise its option to continue development of iSONEP.
Lpathomab™, our pre-clinical product candidate, is a mAb against lysophosphatidic acid (“LPA”), a key bioactive lipid that has long been recognized as a significant promoter of cancer-cell growth and metastasis in a broad range of tumor types. Published research has also demonstrated that LPA is a significant contributor to neuropathic pain and traumatic brain injury, and plays a key role in pulmonary fibrosis. We have selected the clinical candidate mAb from among three humanized mAbs that inhibit LPA. These mAbs were tested against each other in various models of human disease to determine which mAb would be most likely to succeed in clinical trials. We are now engaged in the antibody manufacturing process development activities and expect to complete Investigational New Drug (“IND”) enabling studies in 2014. We plan to file the IND in early 2015, and begin testing Lpathomab in clinical trials thereafter.
Lpath has incurred significant net losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $56.5 million. We expect that the cost of our ongoing research and development activities, including general and administrative expenses, will approximate $22 million from July 1, 2014 through the June 30, 2015. This estimate includes the expenses to conduct the Nexus clinical trial for iSONEP, as well as the Phase 2 clinical trial for ASONEP. In addition, this estimate includes the expenses to complete the manufacturing of the Lpathomab clinical drug product and conduct the IND-enabling studies for Lpathomab. As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $14.3 million. Additional near-term sources of cash include our accounts receivable of $1.3 million, as well as additional funding pursuant to the terms of the Pfizer Agreement to support our Nexus clinical trial. We also have $0.3 million of unexpended funding remaining on NIH grants awarded to the company. We believe these funds should be sufficient to fund our planned drug discovery and development activities through the second quarter of 2015. However, the continuation of our current clinical development activities beyond the second quarter of 2015 is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional funding. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional funding, certain planned research and development activities will be deferred or curtailed. Even if we reduce our research and development expenses, the continuation of our operations subsequent to the second quarter of 2015 is dependent on our ability to obtain significant additional funding.
We expect our expenditures to increase as we continue the advancement of our product development programs. The lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval for one product candidate typically requires expenditures in excess of approximately $100 million, according to industry data. Any failure by us or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, would cause our research and development expenses to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Results of Operations
Grant and Royalty Revenue. Grant and royalty revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $200,000 compared to $353,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the first half of 2014. Grant and royalty revenues were $316,000 compared to $577,000 for the first half of 2013, a decrease of $261,000. The decreases in 2014 were due to the completion of one of our NIH grants in August 2013.
Research and Development Revenue Under Collaborative Agreement. As described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, in December 2010 we entered into an agreement with Pfizer that provides financial support for our iSONEP and ASONEP development programs. We recognized revenues under research and development collaborative agreements as follows:

During the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached the point in the contract where Pfizer became responsible for funding the iSONEP development costs pursuant to the terms of the Pfizer Agreement. During the first half of 2013, Lpath was responsible for funding iSONEP development costs, resulting in increased amortization of development fees in 2013 compared to 2014.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased to $8,238,000 for the first half of 2014 from $4,424,000 for the first half of 2013, an increase of $3,814,000. For the second quarter of 2014, research and development expenses increased to $4,575,000 from $2,839,000 for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $1,736,000. The increases in 2014 were driven by the increased costs of our ongoing clinical trials, especially the expenses related to manufacturing process development and scale-up and IND-enabling studies for the Lpathomab program, as well as the addition of new employees in the research and development functions.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2,240,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2,112,000 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $128,000. This increase is principally attributable to increased stock compensation expense incurred in connection with options issued to employees in 2014.
General and administrative expenses were $1,083,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1,109,000 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $26,000. This decrease is principally attributable to reduced legal fees in 2014.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants. Various factors are considered in the pricing model we use to value outstanding warrants, including the company’s current stock price, the remaining life of the warrants, and the risk-free interest rate. Future changes in these factors will have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the warrant liability. The most significant factor in the valuation model is the company’s stock price. Lpath’s stock is thinly traded and relatively small transactions can impact the company’s quoted stock price significantly. As such, we expect future changes in the fair value of the warrants to continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Management cautions that the net change in fair value of the warrants reflected in the statement of operations, and all similar changes in the future, should not be given undue importance when considering the financial condition of Lpath and the results of its operations. Management does not believe that these adjustments, which are required by current generally accepted accounting principles, reflect economic activities or financial obligations undertaken by the company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2014, Lpath had cash and cash equivalents totaling $14.3 million. Additional near-term sources of cash include our accounts receivable of $1.3 million as well as additional funding pursuant to the terms of the Pfizer Agreement to support our Nexus clinical trial. We also have $0.3 million of unexpended funding remaining on NIH grants awarded to the company. We expect that the cost of our ongoing research and development activities, including general and administrative expenses, will approximate $22 million from July 1, 2014 through the June 30, 2015. This estimate includes the expenses to conduct the Nexus clinical trial for iSONEP, as well as the Phase 2 clinical trial for ASONEP. In addition, this estimate includes the expenses to complete the manufacturing of the Lpathomab clinical drug product and conduct the IND-enabling studies for Lpathomab. We believe our cash on hand as of June 30, 2014, together with amounts to be received pursuant to the Pfizer Agreement and NIH grants, should be sufficient to fund our ongoing research and development activities, as currently planned, through the second quarter of 2015. However, the continuation of our current clinical development activities beyond the second quarter of 2015 is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional funding. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional funding, certain planned research and development activities will be deferred or curtailed. Even if we reduce our research and development expenses, the continuation of our operations subsequent to the second quarter of 2015 is dependent on our ability to obtain significant additional funding.
We may receive additional funding to support our operations beyond the second quarter of 2015 under the terms of the Pfizer Agreement if Pfizer (or any third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) elects to exercise its option to continue the clinical development of iSONEP. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in maintaining our commercial relationship with Pfizer (or any third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights), that Pfizer (or any third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) will exercise its option to commercialize iSONEP, or that iSONEP will achieve the developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones necessary to entitle us to future payments under the Pfizer Agreement on a timely basis, or at all. Even if Pfizer exercises its option, we may be required to secure substantial additional capital to continue to fund our planned drug discovery and development projects beyond 2015.
We have also entered into an at-the-market issuance sales agreement on March 18, 2014 with MLV & Co. LLC and filed a prospectus supplement under which we may sell a total of up to $23,000,000 in shares of our common stock (subject to limitations set by the SEC if the aggregate market-value of our common stock held by non-affiliates remains below $75 million).
Further, our expenses may exceed our current plans and expectations. For example, while we believe we have adequate supplies of clinical material to complete the Phase 2 clinical trial for iSONEP, and to meet the requirements of the ASONEP Phase 2 clinical trial through 2014, we will probably need to manufacture additional clinical material depending on various factors, including the stability of the drug product and the length of time that patients remain on the study.
Until we can generate significant cash from operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with cash resources generated from a combination of NIH grants, license agreements, and the proceeds of offerings of our equity and debt securities. However, we may not be successful in obtaining funding from new or existing collaboration agreements or licenses, or in receiving milestone or royalty payments under those agreements. In addition, we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our development programs, relinquish some or even all rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development, or renegotiate less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. Failure to obtain adequate financing could eventually adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to our existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, the most critical of which are those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets and warrant liability, share-based compensation, the timing of the achievement of drug development milestones, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
Besides the estimates identified above that are considered critical, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a converged standard on revenue recognition. The new pronouncement requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASC 2014-9 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, and with the participation of all members of management, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, cannot be certain that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all instances of errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not currently a party in any material legal proceedings.
In evaluating us and our common stock, we urge you to carefully consider the risks and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which we filed with the SEC on March 18, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”). Except as set forth below, the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A — Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K have not materially changed. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any of the risks disclosed in Item 1A. to Part I of our Form 10-K, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
We will require, and may not be able to obtain, substantial additional financial resources in order to carry out our planned activities.
As they are currently planned, we estimate that our ongoing drug discovery and development efforts, including general and administrative expenses, will require Lpath to expend approximately $22 million from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $14.3 million. Additional near-term sources of cash include accounts receivable of $1.3 million, additional funding from Pfizer pursuant to the terms of the Pfizer Agreement to support our Nexus clinical trial, as well as $0.3 million of unexpended funding remaining on NIH grants awarded to the company. We believe these funds should be sufficient to fund our planned drug discovery and development activities through the second quarter of 2015.
Based on our current plans and available resources, we will be required to secure additional capital to continue to fund our planned drug discovery and development projects beyond the second quarter of 2015. In addition, our expenses may exceed our current plans and expectations. For example, while we believe we have adequate supplies of clinical material to complete the Phase 2 clinical trial for iSONEP, and we also believe we have enough clinical material to meet the requirements of the ASONEP Phase 2 clinical trial through 2014. However, depending on various factors, including the stability of the drug product and the length of time that patients remain on the study, we will probably need to manufacture additional clinical material to complete the ASONEP Phase 2 clinical trial.
If Pfizer (or a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) elects to exercise its option to continue the clinical development of iSONEP beyond the current Nexus clinical trial, the terms of the Pfizer Agreement provide that we will receive additional funding that we may use to support our operations beyond the second quarter of 2015. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in maintaining our commercial relationship with Pfizer (or a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights), that Pfizer (or that a third party who may acquire Pfizer’s rights) will exercise its option to commercialize iSONEP prior to the end of first quarter of 2015 or at all, or that iSONEP will achieve the developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones necessary to entitle us to future payments under the Pfizer Agreement on a timely basis, or at all.
In addition, we have entered into an at-the-market issuance sales agreement on March 18, 2014 with MLV & Co. LLC and filed a prospectus supplement under which we may sell a total of up to $23,000,000 in shares of our common stock (subject to limitations set by the SEC if the aggregate market-value of our common stock held by non-affiliates remains below $75 million).
We expect that we will be required to issue additional equity or debt securities or enter into other commercial arrangements, including relationships with corporate and other partners, to secure the additional financial resources to support our development efforts and future operations. We may not be successful in obtaining funding from new or existing collaboration or license agreements, or in receiving milestone or royalty payments under those agreements. In addition, we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our development programs, relinquish some or even all rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development, or renegotiate less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. For example, in the future, we could determine to delay or scale back some of our planned drug discovery and development projects to extend our runway beyond the second quarter of 2015. Failure to obtain adequate financing could eventually adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to our existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.
