BEYOND AIR, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Beyond Air, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Beyond Air” or the “Company”) was incorporated on April 24, 2015. On June 25, 2019, the Company’s name was changed to Beyond Air, Inc. from AIT Therapeutics, Inc. The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:
Beyond Air, Ltd. (“BA Ltd.”), incorporated in Israel on May 1, 2011.
Advanced Inhalation Therapies (“AIT”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Beyond Air, Ltd., incorporated on August 29, 2014, in Delaware.
Beyond Air Australia Pty Ltd., incorporated on December 17, 2019 in Australia.
Beyond Air Ireland Limited, incorporated on March 5, 2020 in Ireland.
The Company is a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company focused on developing inhaled Nitric Oxide (“NO”) for the treatment of patients with respiratory conditions, including serious lung infections and pulmonary hypertension, and gaseous NO for the treatment of solid tumors. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development.
The Company is developing an NO generator and delivery system (the “LungFit™ system”) that is capable of generating NO from ambient air. The LungFit™ system can generate NO up to 400 parts per million (“ppm”) for delivery to a patient’s lungs directly or via a ventilator. The LungFit™ system can deliver NO either continuously or for a fixed amount of time at various flow rates and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. The Company’s current areas of focus with the LungFit™ system are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (“SARS CoV-2”)/acute viral pneumonia (“AVP”), bronchiolitis (“BRO”) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (“NTM”) lung infection. The Company’s product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) as well as similar regulatory agencies in other countries or regions. The Premarketing Application (“PMA”) for the LungFit™ system addressing PPHN was submitted with the FDA on November 10, 2020. If approved, the Company’s system will be marketed as a medical device initially in the United States.
Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has incurred operating losses in almost each year since inception, $14.1 million net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and has accumulated losses of $75.2 million. However, the Company has cash and equivalents of approximately $22.7 million at December 31, 2020 and, based on the current business plan, estimates such cash and equivalents will be sufficient to finance its operations for at least one year from the date of filing these financial statements.
The Company’s future capital needs and the adequacy of its available funds beyond one year will depend on many factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the cost and time necessary for the development, clinical studies and regulatory approval of the Company’s other medical device, indications as well as the commercial success of the Company’s first product for PPHN, assuming PMA approval. The Company may be required to raise additional funds through sale of equity or debt securities or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements in order to fund operations until we are able to generate enough product or royalty revenues, if any. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our strategic objectives, results of operations and financial condition.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates and assumptions including expense recognition assumption under consulting and clinical trial agreements, stock-based compensation, warrant fair value, and the determination of valuation allowance requirements on deferred tax attributes.
Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to medical device companies including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, product liability, uncertainty of market acceptance of products and the potential need to obtain additional financing. The Company is dependent on third party suppliers, in some cases single-source suppliers.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s product will be accepted in the marketplace, nor can there be any assurance that any future products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed, if at all.
The Company’s products require approval or clearance from the FDA prior to commencing commercial sales in the United States. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive all of the required approvals or clearances. Approvals or clearances are also required in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company may license or sell its products. If the Company is denied such approvals or clearances or such approvals or clearances are delayed, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
The development of our product candidates could be further disrupted and adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of SARS CoV-2 resulted in the Director General of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s business plans and its ability to conduct the preclinical studies and clinical trials as well as on the Company’s reliance on third-party manufacturing and our supply chain. The Company experienced significant delays in the supply chain for LungFit™ due to the redundancy in parts and suppliers with ventilator manufacturing which has since been remedied. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to further avoid part or all of any impact from COVID-19 or its consequences. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and global efforts to contain its spread may impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments.
Concentrations
The Company is reliant on two vendors for commercial manufacturing of the LungFit™ generator and delivery systems and nitrogen dioxide filters for both clinical studies and future commercial supply if regulatory approval is received.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and other interest-bearing accounts in major banks in Israel, Ireland and the U.S., the balances of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, restricted cash consisted of $619,000 of cash designated for a contract manufacturer. This cash is expected to be used for material and parts that require a long lead time.
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition.
The following table is the reconciliation of the presentation and disclosure of financial instruments as shown on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows:
December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 22,016,310 | $ | 2,140,162 | ||||

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s). At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are performance obligations.
12 |
BEYOND AIR, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company uses judgment to determine: a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract; b) the transaction price under step (iii) above; and c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of transaction price in step (iv) above. The Company uses judgment to determine whether milestones or other variable consideration, except for royalties, should be included in the transaction price. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on an estimated stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied, see Note 10.
Where a portion of non-refundable up-front fees or other payments received are allocated to continuing performance obligations under the terms of a license arrangement, they are recorded as contract liabilities and recognized as revenue when (or as) the underlying performance obligation is satisfied.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and managed its business as one segment.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. Research and development expenses include salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and costs incurred by outside laboratories, manufacturers, clinical research organizations, consultants, and accredited facilities in connection with clinical trials and preclinical studies. Research and development projects that have no alternative uses have been expensed as incurred.
Foreign Exchange Transactions
The Company’s subsidiaries have operations in Israel, Ireland, and in Australia. Beyond Air’s operations are in the United States and the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company translated its non-U.S. operations’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations as of December 31, 2020 were not material. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (loss) in the statement of operations as foreign currency exchange gains/(losses).
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Fair value for restricted stock awards is valued using the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is recognized over the period during which an employee and non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period. The grant date fair value of employee share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Due to the Company’s limited trading history, the Company utilizes an implied volatility based on an aggregate of guideline companies. In 2020, the Company began to incorporate and weight its historical volatility with its peer group in order to obtain expected volatility. The peer companies selected have similar characteristics, including industry and market capitalization. The Company routinely reviews its calculation of volatility based on, the Company’s life cycle, its peer group, and other factors. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term.

Long Lived Assets
The Company assess the impairment of long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider that could trigger an impairment review include the following:
● | significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, |
● | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, |
● | significant negative regulatory or economic trends, and |
● | significant technological changes, which would render the platform technology, equipment, and manufacturing processes obsolete. |
Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in our operations is measured by comparing the carrying value to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. Future undiscounted cash flows include estimates of future revenues, driven by market growth rates, and estimated future costs. There were no events during the reporting periods that were deemed to be a triggering event that would require an impairment assessment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance to the full extent of our net deferred tax assets since the likelihood of realization of the benefit does not meet the more likely than not threshold.
The Company files U.S. Federal, various state, and International income tax returns. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances. Such adjustment is reflected in the tax provision when appropriate. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the statements of operations. Tax years 2016 through 2020 remain open to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions. The Company files tax returns in Israel for which tax years 2014 through 2020 remain open. In addition, the Company files tax returns in Ireland and Australia and the tax year 2020 remains open.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is computed by dividing the net loss and deemed dividend from a warrant modification to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock and other stock-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) attributed to common shareholders per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares of common stock. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, because such shares of common stock are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive, see Note 9.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”) as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company on December 1, 2022, Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than December 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and a Facility Agreement Loan. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. The long-term Facility Agreement loan approximate fair value due to the prevailing market conditions for similar debt with remaining maturity and terms.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 - | quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |
Level 2 - | inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or | |
Level 3 - | unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |

NOTE 8 LEASES
On April 1, 2019, the Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASU 2016-02”), which generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. In June 2020, the Company entered into a new lease and cancelled a lease, which resulted in the recognition of operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of approximately of $236,700 and $236,900, respectively. The cancellation of the lease resulted in a derecognition of operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $19,329 and $17,486, respectively. As a result of the cancellation, the Company recorded a gain of $1,843. The right-of use assets and operating lease liability as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 is as follows:
December 31, 2020 | March 31, 2020 | |||||||
Right-of-use assets | $ | 357,871 | $ | 195,727 | ||||
Operating lease liability short-term | $ | 84,388 | $ | 69,342 | ||||
Operating lease liability long-term | 279,594 | 131,581 | ||||||
Total | $ | 363,982 | $ | 200,923 |
Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued rent. The interest rate implicit in our leases is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, the weighted average discount rate and remaining term on lease obligation was approximately 8.3%, 8.3%, 4.3 and 3.0 years, respectively. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative and research development expenses.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 10 LICENSE AGREEMENT (continued)
● | Performance Obligation 1: non-exclusive transfer of functional intellectual property rights to Circassia, which includes: |
○ | the consummation of the Circassia Agreement, which included significant pre-agreement negotiation and product specification, and | |
○ | the successful completion of the pre-submission meeting with the FDA. At this meeting, the FDA reinforced its assessment of the LungFit™ PH as a medical device and the requirements for approval. |
● | Performance Obligation 2: ongoing support associated with the PMA submission and regulatory approval by the FDA. This also includes development activities including manufacturing readiness process ahead of such approval. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company met the first two milestones under the license agreement and received 17,572,815 ordinary shares valued at $9,987,295. This consideration was allocated to the first two performance obligations; one being the transfer of the intellectual property to Circassia, which was recognized at a point in time and was valued at $7,116,232 and the other being the ongoing support associated with the PMA submission and regulatory approval by the FDA, which was valued at $2,871,063 and was recorded as deferred revenue.
The second performance obligation is being recognized over a period of time; from the commencement of the agreement to when management expects to submit the PMA. License revenue of $349,607 and $645,602 associated with this second performance obligation has been recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. License revenue of $727,562 and $1,273,071 associated with this second performance obligation has been recognized for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, deferred revenue was $145,628 and $873,190, respectively.
NOTE 11 FACILITY AGREEMENT LOAN
On March 17, 2020, the Company entered into the Facility Agreement with certain lenders for up to $25,000,000 in five tranches of $5,000,000 per tranche. Such tranches are at the option of the Company, provided however that the Company may only utilize tranches three through five following FDA approval of the LungFit™ PH product. The loan(s) are unsecured with interest at 10% per year which is to be paid quarterly. The loans may be prepaid with certain prepayment penalties. The effective interest rate for this loan is 13.3% per year. Each tranche shall be repaid in installments commencing June 15, 2023 with all amounts outstanding under any tranche due on March 17, 2025. The Company received proceeds from the first tranche in fiscal year 2020. A lender who is over a five percent shareholder loaned the Company $3,160,000 of the first tranche and, as such, related party interest expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 approximated $79,000 and $158,000 (not including amortization of debt discount and deferred offering costs), respectively.
In connection with the first tranche, the Company issued, in March 2020, warrants to the lenders for the purchase of 172,826 shares of the Company’s common stock at $7.26 per share. The warrants expire in five years. There are additional warrant issuances associated with each tranche. If the second tranche of $5 million is utilized by the Company, the warrants that will be issued is up to twenty five percent of its commitment value divided by the five-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) prior to utilization date. For tranches three to five, if any of these tranches are utilized by the Company, the warrants that will be issued is up to ten percent of its commitment value divided by the five-day VWAP. As a result, the Company allocated the fair market value at the date of grant of the warrants to shareholders’ equity and reflected a debt discount valued at $594,979 using the Black Scholes pricing model.

Contingencies
On March 16, 2018, Empery Asset Master, Ltd., Empery Tax Efficient, LP and Empery Tax Efficient II, LP, (collectively, “Empery”), filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”), relating to the notice of adjustment of both the exercise price of and the number of warrant shares issuable under warrants issued to Empery in January 2017 (the “Empery Suit”). The Empery Suit alleges that, as a result of certain circumstances in connection with our February 2018 offering, the 166,672 warrants issued to Empery in January 2017 provide for adjustments to both the exercise price of the warrants and the number of warrant shares issuable upon such exercise. Empery seeks monetary damages and declaratory relief under theories of breach of contract or contract reformation predicated on mutual mistake.
While the Company believes that it has complied with the applicable protective features of the 2017 Warrants and properly adjusted the exercise price, if Empery were to prevail on all claims, the new adjusted total number of warrant shares could be as follows: 319,967 warrant shares for Empery Asset Master, Ltd., 159,869 warrant shares for Empery Tax Efficient, LP and 252,672 warrant shares for Empery Tax Efficient II, LP, and the exercise price could be reduced from $3.66 to $1.57 per share. On March 9, 2020, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied by order of the Court entered on August 20, 2020, except for the second claim for relief for declaratory judgment which was dismissed as moot. On October 1, 2020, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal and a motion seeking leave to reargue, and upon reargument, requesting that the Court grant summary judgment dismissing claims for breach of section 3(b) and reformation. The Court denied reargument on January 15, 2021. Appeal of the order denying the motion for summary judgment is pending. Trial is presently scheduled for April 19, 2021. The Company has several meritorious defenses against the claims and intends to vigorously defend itself. However, the ultimate resolution of the matter, if unfavorable, could result in a material loss.
On December 18, 2019, the Company terminated the Circassia Agreement pursuant to which the Company had granted Circassia an exclusive royalty-bearing license to distribute, market and sell the Company’s NO generator and delivery system in the United States and China. As previously described in Note 9, Circassia had agreed to pay the Company certain milestone and royalty payments for the marketing rights of the Company’s PPHN indication, if approved and future related indications at concentrations of < 80 ppm in the hospital setting in the United States and China. The Company terminated the Circassia Agreement pursuant to section 13.3(b) thereof, which provides for termination by either party upon the other party’s material breach or default. In connection with the termination of the Circassia Agreement, we may be subject to a variety of claims. Adverse outcomes in some or all of these claims, if filed, may adversely affect our ability to conduct business and our financial condition and results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
We are a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a nitric oxide (“NO”) generator and delivery system (the “LungFit™ system”) that is capable of generating NO from ambient air. The LungFit™ platform can generate NO up to 400 parts per million (“ppm”) for delivery to a patient’s lungs directly or via a ventilator. LungFit™ can deliver NO either continuously or for a fixed amount of time at various flow rates and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. We believe that LungFit™ can be used to treat patients on ventilators that require NO, as well as patients with chronic or acute severe lung infections via delivery through a breathing mask or similar apparatus. Furthermore, we believe that there is a high unmet medical need for patients suffering from certain severe lung infections that the LungFit™ platform can potentially address. Our current areas of focus with LungFit™ are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (“SARS CoV-2”), acute viral pneumonia (“AVP”), bronchiolitis (“BRO”) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (“NTM”) lung infection Our current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (the “FDA”), as well as similar regulatory agencies in other countries or regions. If approved, our system will be marketed as a medical device in the United States.
An additional focus of ours is solid tumors. For this indication the LungFit™ platform is not utilized due to the ultra-high concentrations of gaseous nitric oxide (“gNO”) used. We have developed a delivery system that can safely deliver gNO concentrations in excess of 10,000 ppm directly to a solid tumor. This program is in pre-clinical development and will require approval from the FDA or similar agencies in other countries to enter human studies.
With respect to PPHN, our novel LungFit™ PH is designed to deliver a dosage of NO to the lungs that is consistent with current guidelines for delivery of 20 ppm NO with a range of 0.5 ppm – 80 ppm (low-concentration NO) for ventilated patients. We believe LungFit™ PH’s ability to generate NO from ambient air provides Beyond Air many competitive advantages over the current approved NO delivery systems in the U.S., European Union, Japan and other markets. For example, LungFit™ PH does not require the use of a high-pressure cylinder, does not require cumbersome purging procedures and places less burden on hospital staff in carrying out safety procedures.
26 |
On November 10, 2020 we submitted a premarket approval (“PMA”) application to the FDA for the use of LungFit PH in PPHN. There is a standard 180 day review process, and we anticipate an FDA response by mid-May 2021, though the FDA may have delays due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We also expect to make certain regulatory filings outside of the U.S. this year. According to the 2019 year-end report from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, aggregate sales of low concentration NO in the U.S. were in excess of $500 million in 2019. Sales outside of the U.S., where there are multiple market participants, sales were considerably lower than in the U.S. We believe the U.S. sales potential of the LungFit™ PH in PPHN to be greater than $300 million and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $600 million. If regulatory approval is obtained, we anticipate a product launch in both the U.S. and Israel in 2021 and will continue to launch globally throughout 2021 and beyond.
Our novel LungFit™ platform can deliver a high concentration of NO to the lungs, which we believe has the potential to eliminate microbial infections including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, among others. We believe current FDA-approved NO vasodilation treatments would have limited success in treating microbial infections given the low concentrations of NO being delivered. Given that NO is produced naturally by the body as an innate immunity mechanism at a concentration of 200 ppm, supplemental high dose NO should aid in the body’s fight against infection. Based on our clinical studies, we believe that 150 ppm is the minimum therapeutic dose to achieve the desired pulmonary antimicrobial effect of NO. To date, neither the FDA nor equivalent regulatory agencies in other countries or regions have approved any NO formulation and/or delivery system for 150 ppm NO or higher.
SARS CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic with widespread impact across many countries. We initiated a pilot study in late 2020 using our novel LungFit™ PRO system at 150 ppm to treat patients with acute viral pneumonia, including SARS-CoV-2. The ongoing trial is a multi-center, open-label, randomized clinical trial in Israel with planned enrollment up to 90 adult patients, with an emphasis on patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive inhalations of 150 ppm NO given intermittently for 40 minutes four times per day for up to seven days in addition to standard supportive treatment (NO+SST); or standard supportive treatment alone (SST). Endpoints related to safety, oxygen saturation, fever and ICU admission, among others, will be assessed. We expect interim data in Spring 2021. There approximately 350,000 annual viral pneumonia hospitalizations in the US, and 16 million annual viral pneumonia hospitalizations globally. For the broader acute viral pneumonia indication, we believe U.S. sales potential to be greater than $1.5 billion and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $3 billion.
With respect to NTM, in December 2020 we began a 12-week, multi-center, open-label clinical trial in Australia and we plan to enroll approximately 20 adult patients with chronic refractory NTM lung disease. The trial is enrolling both cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and non-CF patients infected with Mycobacterium avium complex (“MAC”) or Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC). The study consists of a run-in period followed by two treatment phases. The run-in period provides a baseline for the efficacy endpoints, such as patient physical function and bacterial load. The first treatment phase takes place over a two week period and begins in the hospital setting where patients will be titrated from 150 ppm NO up to 250 ppm NO over several days. During this phase patients receive NO for 40 minutes, four times per day while methemoglobin and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels are monitored. Patients are then trained to use LungFit™ GO and subsequently discharged to complete the remaining portion of the two week treatment period at their home at the highest tolerated NO concentration. For the second treatment phase, a 10-week maintenance phase, the administration is twice daily. The study is evaluating safety, quality of life, physical function, and bacterial load among other parameters, as compared to baseline measurements.
We anticipate reporting interim data in mid-2021, and release top-line results for the full data set approximately six months later. If the trial is successful, we would anticipate commencing a pivotal study towards the end of 2022. For this indication, we believe U.S. sales potential to be greater than $1 billion and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $2.5 billion.

NTM lung infection is a rare and serious pulmonary disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Patients with NTM lung disease may experience a multitude of symptoms such as fever, weight loss, cough, lack of appetite, night sweats, blood in the sputum and fatigue. Patients with NTM lung disease, specifically abscessus (represents 20-25% of all NTM) and other forms of NTM that are refractory to antibiotic therapy, frequently require lengthy and repeated hospital stays to manage their condition. There are no treatments specifically indicated for the treatment of NTM abscessus lung disease in North America, Europe or Japan. There are approximately 50,000 patients diagnosed with NTM in the U.S. In Asia, the number of patients suffering from NTM surpasses what is seen in the U.S. There is one inhaled antibiotic approved in the U.S. for the treatment of refractory NTM MAC. Current guideline-based approaches to treat NTM lung disease involve multi-drug regimens of antibiotics that may cause severe, long lasting side effects, and treatment can be as long as 18 months or more. Median survival for NTM MAC patients is approximately 13 years while median survival for patients with other variations of NTM is typically 4.6 years4. The prevalence of human disease attributable to NTM has increased over the past two decades. In a study conducted between 2007 and 2016, researchers found that the prevalence of NTM in the U.S. is increasing at approximately 7.5% per year. NTM abscessus treatment costs are estimated to be more than double that of NTM MAC. In total, a 2015 publication from co-authors from several U.S. government departments stated annual cases in 2014 cost the U.S. healthcare system approximately $1.7 billion.
Our bronchiolitis program is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pivotal study for bronchiolitis was originally set to be performed in the winter of 2020/21 but was delayed due to the pandemic. We have completed three successful pilot studies in infants for bronchiolitis. Data from the most recent study was presented at the 2020 annual meeting of The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST). The trial was a double blind, controlled trial in infants hospitalized due to bronchiolitis with three arms and 89 subjects randomized 1:1:1 to standard supportive therapy (SST), SST plus 85 ppm NO and SST plus 150 ppm NO. There were no serious adverse events (SAE’s) related to NO therapy. The 150 ppm arm was statistically significant when compared to both the control arm and the 85 ppm arm on the primary endpoint of fit for discharge from the hospital and the key secondary endpoint of hospital length of stay, and statistically significant from the control arm for time to achieving oxygen saturation on room air of > 92%. The 85 ppm was no different from control on all endpoints. We believe the U.S. sales potential to be greater than $500 million and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $1.2 billion.
Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospital admission in children less than 1 year of age. The incidence is estimated to be 150 million new cases a year worldwide, with 2-3% (over 3 million) of them severe enough to require hospitalization. Worldwide, 95% of all cases occur in developing countries. In the U.S., there are more than 120,000 annual bronchiolitis hospitalizations and approximately 3.2 million annual child hospitalizations globally. Currently, there is no approved treatment for bronchiolitis. The treatment for acute viral lung infections that cause bronchiolitis in infants is largely supportive care and is based primarily on prolonged hospitalization during which the infant receives a constant flow of oxygen to treat hypoxemia, a reduced concentration of oxygen in the blood. In addition, systemic steroids and inhalation with bronchodilators are sometimes utilized until recovery, but we believe these treatments do not successfully reduce hospital length of stay.
Our program in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is in the pre-clinical stage and will remain there, subject to our obtaining additional financing.
For our solid tumor program, we have released pre-clinical data at several medical/scientific conferences showing the promise of delivering NO at concentrations of 20,000 ppm – 200,000 ppm directly to tumors. Results showed that local tumor ablation with NO conveyed anti-tumor immunity to the host. In our most recent release of data, 8 of 11 mice treated with 25,000 ppm NO were resistant to a subsequent tumor challenge and 11 of 11 mice treated with 50,000 ppm NO were resistant. Pre-clinical work will continue throughout most of 2021 with a goal of initiating a first-in-human trial before the end of 2021.
The development of our product candidates could be further disrupted and adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We have addressed the impact COVID-19 may have on our business plans and our ability to conduct the preclinical studies and clinical trials as well as on our reliance on third-party manufacturing and our supply chain. However, there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and global efforts to contain its spread will impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are still uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. As a consequence of the global pandemic, we experienced significant delays in the supply chain for LungFit™ due to the redundancy in parts and suppliers with ventilator manufacturing.

Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of December 31, 2020 have been taken into consideration in preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our consolidated financial statements:
● | Use of Estimates, | |
● | Revenue Recognition, | |
● | Research and development expenses, | |
● | Stock-based compensation expenses, and | |
● | Income Taxes |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In August 2020, we entered into an operating lease to move our corporate office to another location in Garden City, New York. The lease term is for 10.5 years with lease payments aggregating approximately $2,036,000. It is expected that we will move into this space in April 2021, at which time we will record the operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet pursuant to ASU 2016-02.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 with the Three Months Ended December 31, 2019
License revenue
License revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $148,749 as compared to $314,379 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The primary decrease of $165,360 was due to the increase in time to amortize the revenue. On January 23, 2019, we entered into an agreement for commercial rights (the “Circassia Agreement”) with Circassia Limited and its affiliates (collectively, “Circassia”) for PPHN and future related indications at concentrations of < 80 ppm in the hospital setting in the United States. We are recognizing revenue based upon the second performance obligation, which is for the ongoing support associated with the PMA submission and regulatory approval by the FDA, valued at $2,871,063. Such amount was recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized over a period of time from the commencement of the agreement to when management expects to submit the PMA. As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, deferred revenue was $145,628 and $873,190, respectively. On December 18, 2019, we terminated the Circassia Agreement pursuant to which we had granted Circassia an exclusive royalty-bearing license to distribute, market and sell our NO generator and delivery system in the United States and China.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. To date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of products, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sale of our products until regulatory approval is received for our product candidates. Since the time we became public through December 31, 2020, we have funded our operations principally through the issuance of equity securities and debt. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have an operating cash flow decrease of $14.1 million for the nine months ended was December 31, 2020 and we had an accumulated loss of $75.2 million since inception through December 31, 2020. The Company has cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash of $22.7 million as of December 31, 2020. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least one year from the date of filing these financial statements.
The Company’s future capital needs and the adequacy of its available funds beyond one year will depend on many factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the cost and time necessary for the development, clinical studies and regulatory approval of the Company’s other medical device, indications as well as the commercial success of the Company’s first product for PPHN, assuming PMA approval. The Company may be required to raise additional funds through sale of equity or debt securities or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements in order to fund operations until we are able to generate enough product or royalty revenues, if any. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our strategic objectives, results of operations and financial condition.
However, we will need to raise substantial additional financing in the future to fund our operations. In order to meet these additional cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or convertible debt securities that may result in dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
On March 17, 2020, we entered into a facility agreement with certain lenders pursuant to which the lenders shall loan to up to $25,000,000 in five tranches of $5,000,000 per tranche at our option, provided however that we may only utilize tranches three through five following FDA approval of LungFit™ PH. The loan(s) are unsecured with an interest rate of 10% per annum which is paid quarterly and may be prepaid with certain prepayment penalties. The effective interest rate for this loan is 13.3% per year. Each tranche shall be repaid in installments commencing June 15, 2023 with all remaining amounts outstanding under any tranche due on March 17, 2025.
33 |
On April 2, 2020, we entered into the ATM for $50 million and utilized our shelf registration statement. We may sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time in this offering. If shares are sold, there is a three percent fee paid to the sales agent. There is a balance of approximately $44.3 million available under the ATM as of December 31,2020.
On May 14, 2020, we entered into a $40 million New Stock Purchase Agreement with LPC, that replaced the existing $20 million purchase agreement from August 2018. The New Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of up to $40 million of our common stock which we may sell from time to time in our sole discretion to LPC over the next 36 months, subject to the conditions and limitations in the New Stock Purchase Agreement. There is a balance of approximately $34.8 million available under the New Stock Purchase Agreement as of December 31,2020.
Our ability to continue to operate is dependent upon the approval of our PMA for PPHN, expected timing of the launch of our product, obtaining partners in other parts of the world, timing of future milestones and royalties, raising additional funds to finance our activities. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of our product candidates. Further, the continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. Our failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our ability to continue to operate beyond one year from the issuance of these financial statements is dependent upon raising additional funds to finance its activities.
There are numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our NO delivery system, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with completing the research and development of our product candidate.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
● | the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the medical community and the global economy; | |
● | the progress and costs of our preclinical studies, clinical trials and other research and development activities; | |
● | the costs of commercializing the LungFit™ system, if approved; | |
● | the scope, prioritization and number of our clinical trials and other research and development programs; | |
● | the costs and timing of obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates; | |
● | the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights; | |
● | the costs of, and timing for, strengthening our manufacturing agreements for production of sufficient clinical quantities of our product candidate; | |
● | the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally; | |
● | the costs of acquiring or undertaking the development and commercialization efforts for additional, future therapeutic applications of our product candidate; | |
● | the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses; and | |
● | any cost that we may incur under current and future in-and out-licensing arrangements relating to our product candidate. |

On March 16, 2018, Empery Asset Master, Ltd., Empery Tax Efficient, LP and Empery Tax Efficient II, LP, (collectively, “Empery”), filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”), relating to the notice of adjustment of both the exercise price of and the number of warrant shares issuable under warrants issued to Empery in January 2017 (the “Empery Suit”). The Empery Suit alleges that, as a result of certain circumstances in connection with our February 2018 offering, the 166,672 warrants issued to Empery in January 2017 provide for adjustments to both the exercise price of the warrants and the number of warrant shares issuable upon such exercise. Empery seeks monetary damages and declaratory relief under theories of breach of contract or contract reformation predicated on mutual mistake.
While the Company believes that it has complied with the applicable protective features of the 2017 Warrants and properly adjusted the exercise price, if Empery were to prevail on all claims, the new adjusted total number of warrant shares could be as follows: 319,967 warrant shares for Empery Asset Master, Ltd., 159,869 warrant shares for Empery Tax Efficient, LP and 252,672 warrant shares for Empery Tax Efficient II, LP, and the exercise price could be reduced from $3.66 to $1.57 per share. On March 9, 2020, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied by order of the Court entered on August 20, 2020, except for the second claim for relief for declaratory judgment which was dismissed as moot. On October 1, 2020, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal and a motion seeking leave to reargue, and upon reargument, requesting that the Court grant summary judgment dismissing claims for breach of section 3(b) and reformation. Appeal of the order denying the motion for summary judgment is pending. The Court denied reargument on January 15, 2021. Trial is presently scheduled for April 19, 2021. While the Company has several meritorious defenses against the claims, the ultimate resolution of the matter, if unfavorable, could result in a material loss.
For a discussion of the Company’s risk factors, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
