NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Beyond Air, Inc. (“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.) was incorporated in Israel on May 1, 2011.

Advanced Inhalation Therapies (AIT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Beyond Air, Ltd. was incorporated on August 29, 2014, in Delaware.

Beyond Air Australia Pty Ltd. was incorporated on December 17, 2019 in Australia.

Beyond Air Ireland Limited was 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 a nitric oxide generator and delivery system (the “LungFit™ system”) that is capable of generating NO from ambient air. The LungFit™ can generate NO up to 400 parts per million (“ppm”) for delivery to a patient’s lungs. The 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. Our current areas of focus with the LungFit™ are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), bronchiolitis (“BRO”) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (“NTM”) lung infection. The Company’s current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, as well as similar regulatory agencies in other countries or regions. If approved, our system will be marketed as a medical device initially in the United States.

Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has incurred cash used in operating activities of $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and has accumulated losses of $64.3 million. The Company has cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $24.4 million as of June 30, 2020. Based on management’s current business plan, the Company estimates it will have enough cash and liquidity sufficient to finance its operating 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 actual cost and time necessary for clinical studies and other actions needed to obtain regulatory approval of our medical devices in development as well as the cost to launch our first product for PPHN, assuming approval of our Premarketing Application (“PMA”) which is expected to be filed at the end of September 2020.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS (continued)

The Company will be required to raise additional funds through sale of equity or debt securities or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements, to fund operations and continue our clinical trials 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 growth plans, our results of operations and our financial condition.

The Company’s future liquidity includes access to the following:

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required to be presented for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the assumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,2020 which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, (“SEC”), on June 23, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

BEYOND AIR, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 including accruals for expenses under consulting, licensing agreements, and clinical trials, stock-based compensation, warrant fair value, assumptions associated with revenue recognition, and the determination of deferred tax attributes and the valuation allowance thereon.

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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration 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 recent outbreak of COVID-19. The spread of SARS CoV-2 from China to other countries has resulted in the Director General of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. We have assessed 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.

Concentrations

The Company’s license revenue was from two milestone payments from a terminated license see Note 10. 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 commercial supply, if regulatory approval is received.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. 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.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2020, restricted cash includes $619,000 of cash that is designated for a contract manufacturer. This cash is expected be used for material and parts that require a long lead time. Collateral for vehicle leases are invested in bank deposit accounts which is restricted and as of June 30, 2020 was $17,317 and as of March 31, 2020 was $16,836, respectively.

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. Restricted cash is collateral for vehicle leases and invested in bank deposit accounts.

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:

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform 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) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and identify those that are performance obligations

BEYOND AIR, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company must use 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, we have viewed our operations and managed our 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, costs incurred by outside laboratories, manufacturer’s, consultants, accredited facilities in connection with clinical trials and preclinical studies and stock based-compensation. Research and development projects that have no alternative uses have been expensed as incurred.

Foreign Exchange Transactions

BA Ltd., Beyond Air Ireland Limited, Beyond Air Australia Pty, Ltd. operations are in Israel, Ireland, and in Australia, respectively. Beyond Air’s operations are in the United States and the Company’s management believes that 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’s transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been re-measured to U.S. dollars in accordance with the Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. The translation adjustment at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was not material.

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. That cost is recognized over the period during which an 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 blend its historical volatility with the peer group in order to obtain expected volatility. The peer companies were based similar publicly traded peer companies. 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 for share-based compensation to estimate the expected term.

BEYOND AIR, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Compensation expense for options and warrants granted to non-employees is determined by the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured, and is recognized over the service period. The expense was previously adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such awards vested, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, was expensed over the related vesting period. Adjustments to fair value at each reporting date resulted in income or expense, depending upon the estimate of fair value and the amount of expense recorded prior to the adjustment. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Stock-based Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments to nonemployees. This ASU aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying nonemployee awards with that of awards to employees. Under the new guidance, the measurement of nonemployee equity awards is fixed on the grant date. The fair value of all non-employee awards became fixed at the start of the fourth quarter of 2019.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Licensed Right to Use Technology

Licensed right to use technology that is considered platform technology is recorded as an intangible asset which resulted from the NitricGen transaction, see Note 11. The intangible asset was valued based upon the fair value of the options issued to NitricGen and the cash paid for this transaction. The license also contains two future milestone additional payments aggregating $1,800,000. The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line method over its estimated useful life of thirteen years. The expected amortization expense for the next five years and thereafter is as follows for the year ended March 31:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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:

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 June 30, 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 a 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.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss and a deemed dividend from a warrant modification attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares 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 common shares. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, because such common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive, see Note 9.

New Accounting Standards

There are no recently issued accounting standards that have been adopted in the current period or will be adopted in future periods that have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The standard 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. The standard 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.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, accounts payable, loan payable and credit facility loan. Due to the short-term nature of cash and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. 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:

NOTE 8 LEASES

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, 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. The Company early adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach and practical expedients to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods. In June, the Company entered into a new lease and cancelled a lease, which resulted 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 approximately of $17,600 and $20,500. As a result of the cancellation, the Company recorded a gain of $1,900. The right-of use assets and operating lease liability is as follows as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

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. In transition to ASC 842, the Company utilized the remaining lease term of its leases in determining the appropriate incremental borrowing rates. At June 30, 2020 and March 31,2020, the weighted average discount rate and remaining term on lease obligation is approximately, 8.3%, 8.3%, 4.7 and 3.0 years respectively at. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses. Amortization expense for finance (capital) leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, while interest expense for finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method.

NOTE 11 FACILITY AGREEMENT LOAN

On March 17, 2020, the Company 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 the option of the Company (“Tranches”), provided however that the Company may only utilize tranches three through five following FDA approval of our 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. A lender who is over a five percent shareholder, loaned the Company $3,160,000 and interest expense associated with this debt for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $79,000 (not including amortization of debt discount and deferred offering costs). 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 percentage of its commitment value divided by the five day the volume weighed 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 percentage of its commitment value divided by the five day the VWAP. As a result, the Company allocated the fair market value at the date of grant of the warrant to stockholders’ equity and reflected a debt discount valued at $594,979 using the Black Scholes pricing model. 

As a result, the Company allocated the fair market value at the date of grant of the warrant to stockholders’ equity and debt discount valued at $594,979. The Black-Scholes pricing model was used with the following assumptions:

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, 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 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 Master, 159,869 warrant shares for Empery I and 252,672 warrant shares for Empery II and the exercise price could be reduced from $3.66 to $1.57 per share. While the Company has several meritorious defenses against the claims, the ultimate resolution of the matter, if unfavorable, could result in a material loss. On March 9, 2020, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which remains pending.

On December 18, 2019, the Company terminated the License Agreement with Circassia pursuant to which the Company had granted Circassia an exclusive royalty-bearing license to distribute, market and sell the Company’s nitric oxide 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, with the remaining milestone and royalty payments payable in cash or ordinary shares of Circassia at Circassia’s option. The Company terminated the Agreement pursuant to section 13.3(b) of the Agreement, which provides for termination by either party upon the other party’s material breach or default. The Company is evaluating other options for the commercialization of its generator and delivery system.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

We are an emerging 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™ can generate NO up to 400 parts per million (“ppm”) for delivery to a patient’s lungs. The 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 The 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 the LungFit® can potentially address. Our current areas of focus with the LungFit™ are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), 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, or 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 the Company is solid tumors. For this indication the LungFit™ system is not utilized due to the ultra-high concentrations of NO used. We have developed a delivery system that can safely deliver NO concentrations in excess of 10,000 ppm directly to a solid tumor. This program is in pre-clinical development and will require FDA, or similar agency in another country, approval to enter human studies.

With respect to PPHN, our novel the LungFit™ 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). We believe the LungFit™ has many competitive advantages over the current approved NO delivery systems in the U.S., European Union, Japan and other markets. For example, the LungFit™ 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.

Our novel LungFit™ system can also 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 other benefits. 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 the delivery of a dosage of NO at 150 ppm or higher to the lungs.

We plan to submit for premarket approval or (“PMA”) to the FDA towards the end of the third calendar quarter of 2020 for the use of the LungFit™ in PPHN. We also expect to make certain regulatory filings outside of the U.S. later in 2020. 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™ 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.

SARS CoV-2 is a global pandemic with a widespread impact across many countries. We have received an approval from the FDA to run a study in COVID-19 (the disease caused by SARS CoV-2 infections) patients using our the LungFit™ system. We have also received approval from Health Canada to run a similar study to the one approved by the FDA. We look forward to results from both of these studies in the summer/fall of 2020. The fact that our system does not need cylinders allows us to potentially provide a practical solution to this crisis. We have applied for grants related to COVID-19 in the United States and other countries. However, no external funding is required to perform the clinical studies recently approved by FDA and Health Canada.

With respect to bronchiolitis, we initiated in the fourth quarter of 2019 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. The trial is complete and we recently released top line data. There were no SAE’s related to NO therapy. With respect to efficacy, 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. The 85 ppm was no different from control on both endpoints. We believe this is an exceptional result given the low number of patients and provides compelling evidence of the value of 150 ppm in achieving the desired efficacy. The pivotal study for bronchiolitis was originally set to be performed in the 2020/21 winter, but due to the SARS CoV-2 pandemic, hospitals will not be considering any new study proposals not related to SARS CoV-2 or COVID-19. We anticipate commencing a pivotal study in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2021 and completing it late in the second quarter of 2022, depending on the pandemic situation. We expect that we will submit a PMA to the FDA about 6 months after trial completion. Regulatory filings outside of the U.S. would begin after our review process is completed in the U.S. as long as no additional trials are required. For this indication, we believe U.S. sales potential to be greater than $500 million and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $1.2 billion.

Over 3 million new cases of bronchiolitis are reported worldwide each year. In the U.S., there are approximately 130,000 annual bronchiolitis hospitalizations among children two years of age or younger and approximately 177,000 annual hospitalizations among the elderly population related to RSV infection only with the number rising higher due to other viruses similar to those that cause bronchiolitis in very young children.

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 NTM program has produced data from four compassionate use subjects and nine patients from a multi-center pilot study completed in 2018. All patients suffered from NTM abscessus infection and had underlying cystic fibrosis. One compassion patient was treated with our nitric oxide generator at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (“NHLBI”). All others were treated with our NO cylinder-based delivery system. All patients were treated with 160 ppm NO at intermittent 30-minute dosing over 21 days, except one patient who was treated over 26 days and another patient who was treated with 250 ppm NO over 28 days. We expected to begin a study by the end of 2020 (delayed about 6 months by the COVID-19 pandemic) where patients would self-administer high concentration NO at home over a period of 12 weeks with the LungFit™ We now anticipate preliminary data for this study will be available during the first half of 2021 and that a full dataset will be available in the second half of 2021. If the trial is successful, we would commence a pivotal study in 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. There is an increasing rate of lung disease caused by NTM, which is an emerging public health concern worldwide. There are approximately 50,000 patients diagnosed with NTM in the U.S., and there are an estimated additional 100,000 patients in the U.S. that have not yet been diagnosed. In Asia, the number of patients suffering from NTM surpasses what is seen in the U.S. To date we have treated only the abscessus form of NTM which comprises approximately 20-25% of all NTM. We will be treating both the abscessus and mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) forms of NTM.

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 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 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 anti-biotics 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 years. The prevalence of human disease attributable to NTM has increased over the past two decades. In a study conducted between 1997 and 2007, researchers found that the prevalence of NTM in the U.S. is increasing at approximately 8% per year and that NTM patients on Medicare over the age of 65 are 40% more likely to die over the period of the study than those who did not have the disease (Adjemian et al., 2012). 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 that prior year statistics led to a projected 181,037 national annual cases in 2014 costing the U.S. healthcare system approximately $1.7 billion (Strollo et al., 2015).

For our solid tumor program, we released pre-clinical data at the virtual American Academy of Cancer Research (AACR) showing the promise of delivering NO at concentrations of 25,000 ppm – 200,000 ppm directly to tumors. Results showed local tumor ablation with complete eradication in 5 of 30 mice. Additionally, regardless of whether the tumor was completely or partially cleared, all colon tumor bearing mice were resistant to a second challenge of colon cancer. Breast tumor bearing mice showed a 7-10 day delay in the uptake of breast cancer post challenge. Pre-clinical work will continue throughout the rest of 2020 and most of 2021.

Our program in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is in the pre-clinical stage and will remain there, subject to our obtaining additional financing.

The development of our product candidates could be further disrupted and adversely affected by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The spread of SARS CoV-2 from China to other countries has resulted in the Director General of the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. 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, Beyond Air experienced significant delays in the supply chain for LungFit™ due to the redundancy in parts and suppliers with ventilator manufacturing. Our bronchiolitis program will experience at least a one year delay and our PPHN and NTM programs are estimated to experience a delay of 4-6 months.

Results of Operations

Below are the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

License revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $229,161 as compared to $627,469 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. On January 23, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for commercial rights (the “License Agreement”) with Circassia Limited and its affiliates (collectively, “Circassia”) for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”) and future related indications at concentrations of < 80 ppm in the hospital setting in the United States and China. During the year 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 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. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019, $229,161 and $627,469, respectively of such revenue associated with this second performance obligation has been recognized. As of June 30, 2020, and March 31, 2020, deferred revenue was $644,029 and $1,635,825, respectively. On December 18, 2019, the Company terminated the License Agreement with Circassia pursuant to which the Company had granted Circassia an exclusive royalty-bearing license to distribute, market and sell the Company’s nitric oxide generator and delivery system in the United States and China.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $4,331,813 as compared to $2,323,513 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

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 the Company became public through June 30, 2020, we have funded our operations principally through the issuance of equity securities and debt. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an operating cash flow decrease of $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and have accumulated losses of $64.2 million since inception through June 30, 2020. The Company has cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash of $24.4 million as of June 30, 2020.

On March 17, 2020, the Company entered into a facility agreement (the “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 the option of the Company (“Tranches”), provided however that the Company may only utilize tranches three through five following FDA approval of the LungFit™ PH product.

The Company 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 3 percent fee paid to the sales agent.

On May 14, 2020, the Company entered into a $40 million New Purchase Agreement with LPC, that replaced the existing $20 million purchase agreement. The New Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of up to $40 million of the Company’s common stock which we may sell from time to time in our sole discretion to Lincoln Park over the next 36 months, subject to the conditions and limitations in the New Purchase Agreement.

Our ability to continue to operate is dependent upon the filing of our PMA, expected timing of the Company’s 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. The Company’s ability to continue to operate 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:
