NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation (its previous name) and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the clinical development and potential commercialization of humanized monoclonal antibodies to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) infection. Our lead product candidate, PRO 140, belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors. These therapies block HIV from entering into and infecting certain cells.

The Company is developing a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to address unmet medical needs in the areas of HIV and graft versus host disease.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as prescribed by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2017. Operating results for the three months ended August 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three month periods ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, (b) the financial position at August 31, 2017 and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AGTI and CVM, both of which are dormant entities. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity, net loss or earnings per share.

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $11.6 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $134.6 million as of August 31, 2017. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidates, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, outsource manufacturing of the product candidates, and ultimately achieve initial revenues and attain profitability. The Company is currently engaging in significant research and development activities related to these product candidates, and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These research and development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends

6

Table of Contents

to finance our future development activities and our working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced or expects to experience any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits at August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017 approximated $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016. The value of the Company’s patents would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired as discussed in Notes 7 and 9.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs incurred through third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable.

Pre-launch Inventory

The Company may scale-up and make commercial quantities of its product candidate prior to the date it anticipates that such product will receive final FDA approval. The scale-up and commercial production of pre-launch inventories involves the risk that such products may not be approved for marketing by the FDA on a timely basis, or ever. This risk notwithstanding, the Company may scale-up and build pre-launch inventories of product that have not yet received final governmental approval when the Company believes that such action is appropriate in relation to the commercial value of the product launch opportunity. The determination to capitalize is made once the Company (or its third party development partners) has filed a Biologics License Application that has been acknowledged by the FDA as containing sufficient information to allow the FDA to conduct its review in an efficient and timely manner and management is reasonably certain that all regulatory and legal hurdles will be cleared. This determination is based on the particular facts and circumstances relating to the expected FDA approval of the drug product being considered. As of August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017 the Company did not have pre-launch inventory that qualified for capitalization pursuant to U.S. GAAP ASC 330 “Inventory.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017 the carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The Company carries derivative financial instruments at fair value as required by U.S. GAAP.

Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g., interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), as their instruments are recorded as a derivative liability, at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in income.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that we were unable to corroborate with observable market data.

Liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017 is as follows:

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurements. These instruments are not quoted on an active market, so the Company uses a Binomial Lattice Model to estimate the value of the derivative liability. A Binomial Lattice Model was used because management believes it reflects all the assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the warrant. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because certain unobservable inputs were used in the valuation model.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended August 31, 2017 and the year ended May 31, 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation

U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period) or when designated milestones have been achieved.

The Company accounts for stock-based awards established by the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates, as of the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term

Table of Contents

of the stock-based award. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock on monthly intervals. The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method,” as the Company issuances are considered “plain vanilla” options. For stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period or when designated milestones have been achieved. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented.

Common Stock

On March 18, 2016, at a special meeting of stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 200,000,000 to 250,000,000. On August 24, 2016, at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000. On August 24, 2017, at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 350,000,000 to 375,000,000. Subsequent to each stockholders meeting, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to give effect to each authorized share increase.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. As of August 31, 2017, the Company has authorized the issuance of 400,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, of which 92,100 shares are outstanding. The remaining preferred shares authorized have no specified rights.

Debt Discount and Issuance Costs

During the three months ended August 31, 2017 and the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million and $92,000 of debt discount related to the issuance of short-term convertible notes, issued with detachable warrants, as described in Note 4. The discount will be amortized over the life of the convertible promissory notes. During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $444,000 of related amortization.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company incurred direct costs associated with the issuance of short-term convertible notes, as described in Note 4, and recorded approximately $436,000 of debt issuance costs and recognized approximately $114,000 of related amortization.

Registered Direct Offering Costs

During the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $1.8 million in direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities, as described in Note 11. The offering costs were recorded as a component of equity when the proceeds were received.

Stock for Services

The Company periodically issues warrants to consultants for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized to measure the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. For this reason, common stock options and warrants to purchase 80,582,715 and 62,588,165 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, respectively. Additionally, as of August 31, 2017, shares of Series B convertible preferred stock in the aggregate of 92,100 shares can potentially convert into 921,000 shares of common stock.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary

9

Table of Contents

differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”). A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits for all periods presented. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses and penalties in operating expenses.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-11 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842) effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The ASU is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients and other special transition provisions. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU supersedes FASB ASC 840, Leases, and adds FASB ASC 842. It also amends and supersedes a number of other paragraphs throughout the FASB ASC. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 4 – Convertible Instruments

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

During fiscal 2010, the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series B, $0.001 par value Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”) at $5.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $2,009,000, of which 92,100 shares remain outstanding at August 31, 2017. Each share of the Series B is convertible into ten shares of the Company’s $0.001 par common stock including any accrued dividends, with an effective fixed conversion price of $.50 per share. The holders of the Series B can only convert their shares to common shares provided the Company has sufficient authorized common shares at the time of conversion. Accordingly, the conversion option was

10

Table of Contents

contingent upon the Company increasing its authorized common shares, which occurred in April 2010, when the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000. At the commitment date, which occurred upon such stockholder approval, the conversion option related to the Series B was beneficial. The intrinsic value of the conversion option at the commitment date resulted in a constructive dividend to the Series B holders of approximately $6,000,000. The constructive dividend increased and decreased additional paid-in capital by identical amounts. The Series B has liquidation preferences over the common shares at $5.00 per share plus any accrued dividends. Dividends are payable to the Series B holders when declared by the board of directors at the rate of $.25 per share per annum. Such dividends are cumulative and accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Company legally available. The Series B holders have no voting rights.

Short-Term Convertible Notes

During the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company issued $1.15 million of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), with a maturity date of January 31, 2018, and related warrants to investors for cash. The principal amount of the Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is convertible at the election of the holder at any time into shares of common shares at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. The Notes bear simple interest at the annual rate of 7%. Principal and accrued interest, to the extent not previously paid or converted, is due and payable on the maturity date. At the commitment date, the conversion price was greater than the fair value of the common stock. Accordingly, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.

On June 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification in the warrant terms issued in connection with the Notes. The warrant coverage was increased from 25% to 50% and the exercise price of the warrant was reduced from $1.35 to $1.00 per share. On June 19, 2017, in connection with the new terms, the Company issued an incremental 383,333 warrant shares to previous investors.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company issued approximately $4.89 million in aggregate principal of additional Notes and related warrants, as described above. At the commitment dates, the Company determined that the conversion feature related to these Notes to be beneficial to the investors. As a result, the Company determined the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature utilizing the fair value of the underlying common stock on the commitment dates and the effective conversion price after discounting the Notes for the fair value of the related warrants.

In connection with the sale of the Notes during the three months ended August 31, 2017, and year ended May 31, 2017, detachable common stock warrants to purchase a total of 4,025,656 common shares, with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a five-year term were issued to the investors. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions, such as expected stock price volatility, expected term of the warrants, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield at the grant date.

The fair value of the warrants, coupled with the beneficial conversion features, were recorded as a debt discount to the Notes and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital and will be amortized over the life of the Notes. The Company incurred debt discount of approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended August 31, 2017, related to the beneficial conversion feature and detachable warrants issued with the Notes. During the year ended May 31, 2017 the Company incurred debt discount of approximately $92,000 related to the detachable warrants issued with the Notes. Accordingly, the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $-0-, of non-cash debt discount during the three months ended August 31, 2017 and year ended May 31, 2017, respectively. In connection with the Notes, the Company incurred direct issuance costs of approximately $436,000 during the three months ended August 31, 2017. The issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the Notes and accordingly, the Company recognized approximately $114,000 of debt issuance costs.

Activity related to the Notes was as follows:

Note 5 – Derivative Liability:

Registered Direct Equity Offering

The investor warrants issued with the September 2016 registered direct equity offering, and the placement agent warrants issued in conjunction with the offering, as fully described in Note 11, contain a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer or share exchange). If a fundamental transaction occurs in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a successor entity, then the warrantholder has the option to receive cash equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant. Due to this contingent cash settlement provision, the investor and placement agent warrants require liability classification as derivatives in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815 and are recorded at fair value.

The following tables summarize the fair value of the warrant derivative liability and related common shares as of inception date September 15, 2016, May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2017:

The Company recognized approximately $363,000 and $ -0- of net non-cash loss, due to the changes in the fair value of the liability associated with such classified warrants during the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

ASC 820 provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Fair values for the warrants were determined using a Binomial Lattice (“Lattice”) valuation model.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant derivative liability as of inception date September 15, 2016, May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2017, using the following assumptions:

Due to the fundamental transaction provisions, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered subjective assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provision. The fair value of the warrants will be significantly influenced by the fair value of the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, changes in interest and management’s assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provision.

Note 6 – Stock Options and Warrants

The Company has one active stock-based equity plan at August 31, 2017, the CytoDyn Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and one stock-based equity plan that is no longer active, but under which certain prior awards remain outstanding, the CytoDyn Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan” and, together with the 2012 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). The 2012 Plan was approved by stockholders at the Company’s 2012 annual meeting to replace the 2004 Plan. The 2012 Plan was amended by stockholder approval in February 2015 to increase the number of shares available for issuance from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 shares of common stock, in March 2016 to increase the number of shares available for issuance from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 shares of common stock and a recent approval to increase the total number of shares by 8,000,000 to 15,000,000, among other amendments, on August 24, 2017. As of August 31, 2017, the Company had 5,693,807 shares available for future stock-based grants under the 2012 Plan, as amended.

Stock Options

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company granted annual stock option awards to directors to purchase a total of 450,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.57 per share. These option awards vest quarterly over one year and have a ten-year term. The grant date fair value related to these options was $0.36 per share.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company granted an option award covering 600,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.57 per share, to the Chief Science Officer. This option vests annually over three years, has a ten-year term and a grant date fair value of $0.35 per share.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company granted options, covering an aggregate of 800,000 shares of common stock, to executive management and employees with exercise prices of $0.57 per share. The options vest annually over three years, have a ten-year term and grant date fair values of $0.35 per share.

Warrants

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company granted a warrant covering an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $0.64 per share, to a consultant. The warrant vests 25% upon grant date, 25% on December 31, 2017 and 50% upon achieving certain future milestones. The warrant has a five-year term and a grant date fair value of $.26 per share.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, in connection with unsecured convertible promissory Notes, as fully described in Note 4, the Company issued common stock warrants, covering 3,258,990 shares of common stock to note holders. The warrants have a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In connection with the promissory notes, the Company issued warrants covering 350,766 to the placement agent. The warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of $0.825.

On June 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification in the warrant terms issued in connection with the Notes, as fully described in Note 4. The warrant coverage was increased from 25% to 50% and the exercise price of the warrant was reduced to $1.00 per share from $1.35 per share. On June 19, 2017, in connection with new terms, the Company issued an incremental 383,333 warrant shares to the investors during the year ended May 31, 2017.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company determined to extend the expiration dates of certain warrants to June 30, 2017 covering 3,295,000 shares of common stock. The warrants were originally issued in connection with 2012 convertible promissory notes and had an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The extension to June 30, 2017 was contingent upon immediate exercise of the warrants at a reduced exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Company received proceeds of approximately $1.6 million and pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Company recognized non-cash inducement interest expense of approximately $0.8 million, which represented the incremental increase in the fair value of the extended warrants.

The Company determined the fair value of the warrant extension using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted-average assumptions, such as expected stock price volatility, term of the warrants, risk-free rate and expected dividend yield at date of exercise.

Compensation expense related to stock options and warrants was approximately $255,000 and $335,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, respectively. The grant date fair value of options and warrants vested during the three month

periods ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016 was approximately $447,000 and $252,000, respectively. As of August 31, 2017, there was approximately $1,357,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based payments for unvested options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.66 years.

The following table represents stock option and warrant activity as of and for the three-months ended August 31, 2017:

Note 7 – Acquisition of Patents

As discussed in Note 9 below, the Company consummated an asset purchase on October 16, 2012, and paid $3,500,000 for certain assets, including intellectual property, certain related licenses and sublicenses, FDA filings and various forms of the PRO 140 drug substance. The Company followed the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Topic 805 to determine if the Company acquired a business. Based on the prescribed accounting, the Company acquired assets and not a business. As of August 31, 2017, the Company has recorded and is amortizing $3,500,000 of intangible assets in the form of patents. The Company estimates the acquired patents have an estimated life of ten years. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company has continued to expand, amend and file new patents central to its current trial strategies, which, in turn, have extended the protection period for certain methods of using PRO 140 and formulations comprising PRO 140 out through at least 2026 and 2031, respectively, in various countries.

The following presents intangible assets activity:

Amortization expense related to patents was approximately $87,500 for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The estimated aggregate future amortization expense related to the Company’s intangible assets with finite lives is estimated at approximately $350,000 per year for the next five years.

Note 8 – License Agreements

The Company has an executed license agreement with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new PRO 140 material. In connection with this license agreement, the Company became the primary obligor of £600,000 (approximately US$807,000 utilizing current exchange rates), which was timely paid by June 30, 2016. The Company continues to accrue for their current annual license payment of £300,000 (approximately US$400,000 utilizing current exchange rates), which is payable annually in December. Future annual license fees and royalty rate will vary depending on whether we manufacture PRO 140 ourselves, utilize the third-party licensor as a contract manufacturer, or utilize an independent party as a contract manufacturer. The licensor does not charge an annual license fee of £300,000 (approximately US$400,000) when it serves as the manufacturer.

Note 9 – Commitment and Contingencies

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated July 25, 2012, between the Company and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Progenics”) (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), the Company acquired from Progenics its rights to the HIV viral-entry inhibitor drug candidate PRO 140 (“PRO 140”), a humanized anti-CCR5 monoclonal antibody, as well as certain other related assets, including the existing inventory of bulk PRO 140 drug product, intellectual property, certain related licenses and sublicenses, and U.S. Food and Drug administration (“FDA”) regulatory filings. On October 16, 2012, the Company paid to Progenics $3,500,000 in cash to close the transaction. The Company is also required to pay Progenics the following milestone payments and royalties: (i) $1,500,000 at the time of the first dosing in a U.S. Phase 3 trial or non-US equivalent, which was paid during the year ended May 31, 2016; (ii) $5,000,000 at the time of the first U.S. new drug application approval by the FDA or other non-U.S. approval for the sale of PRO 140; and (iii) royalty payments of up to 5% on net sales during the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of PRO 140 until the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire patent included in the acquired assets, and (b) 10 years, in each case determined on a country-by country basis. During the year ended May 31, 2016 the Company paid $1.5 million of such milestones owed to Progenics as a result of the first dosing in a U.S. Phase 3 trial. To the extent that such milestone payments and royalties are not timely made, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Progenics has certain repurchase rights relating to the assets sold to the Company thereunder. As of the date of this filing, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future scientific research milestones is not reasonably determinable, thus the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and its sub-licensors are deemed contingent consideration and, therefore are not currently accruable.

Payments to the third-party licenser and to Progenics are in addition to payments due under a Development and License Agreement, dated April 30, 1999 (the “PDL License”), between Protein Design Labs (now AbbVie Inc.) (“PDL”) and Progenics, which was assigned to the Company in the Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive worldwide license to develop, make, have made, import, use, sell, offer to sell or have sold products that incorporate the humanized form of the PRO 140 antibody developed by PDL under the agreement and must pay additional milestone payments and royalties as follows: (i) $1,000,000 upon initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial, which was paid during the year ended May 31, 2016; (ii) $500,000 upon filing a Biologic License Application with the FDA or non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; (iii) $500,000 upon FDA approval or approval by another non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; and (iv) royalties of up to 7.5% of net sales for the longer of 10 years and the date of expiration of the last to expire licensed patent. Additionally, the PDL License provides for an annual maintenance fee of $150,000 until royalties paid exceed that amount. During the year ended May 31, 2016 the Company paid $1 million of such milestones. To the extent that such milestone payments and royalties are not timely made, under the terms of the PDL License, AbbVie Inc. has certain termination rights relating to the Company’s license of PRO 140 thereunder. Pursuant to the foregoing Asset Purchase Agreement and PDL License, the Company accrued an expense of $2,500,000 as of May 31, 2015 in connection with the anticipated milestone payments related to the first patient dosing in a Phase 3 clinical trial, all of which was paid during the year ended May 31, 2016, as described above. As of the date of this filing, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future scientific research milestones is not reasonably determinable, thus the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and its sub-licensors are deemed contingent consideration and, therefore are not currently accruable.

The Company has entered into project work orders, as amended, for each of its clinical trials with its clinical research organization (“CRO”) and related laboratory vendors. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company incurs execution fees for direct services costs, which are recorded as a current asset. In the event the Company were to terminate any trial, it may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the CRO. Conditioned upon the form of termination of any one trial, the financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $0.1 million to an approximate high of $0.4 million. In the remote circumstance that the Company would terminate all clinical trials, the collective financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $0.5 million to an approximate high of $1.8 million.

During the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company entered into agreements with commercial manufacturing companies. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company paid approximately $2.1 million of execution fees for process validation and manufacturing activities, of which the remaining $1.7 million is reflected as a current asset, as of August 31, 2017. In the event the Company were to terminate any of the agreements, it may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the manufacturers.

Results of Operations

Clinical Trials Update

As previously reported, the Company has scheduled an in-person meeting with the FDA for October 12, 2017. The purpose of the meeting will be to address open issues with respect to its Phase 2b/3 pivotal combination therapy trial with PRO 140 regarding the adequate number and type of evaluable patients required for efficacy and safety necessary to support the BLA filing. The Company is continuing to enroll patients in its combination therapy trial until further clarification from the FDA. The Company expects that the outcome of the meeting could have a significant effect on cost estimates and the time required to finish the enrollment of patients for efficacy and safety for the combination therapy trial.

Phase 2b Extension Study for HIV, as Monotherapy. There were 11 trial participants in the extension study who successfully completed 37 weeks of therapy and were not discontinued. Currently, there are a total of nine patients in this extension study and eight trial participants have surpassed three years of suppressed viral load with PRO 140 as a single agent therapy. This extension study remains ongoing.

Phase 2b/3 Pivotal Trial for HIV, as Combination Therapy. A pivotal 25-week trial for PRO 140 as a combination therapy to existing HAART drug regimens originally designed for 300 patients. Several patients have completed this trial and have transitioned to a roll-over protocol, as requested by the treating physicians to enable the patients to have continued access to PRO 140. Previously, the FDA agreed to reduce the number of patients in this study from 300 to 150 patients. In October 2016, the FDA agreed to additional protocol modifications, including a further reduction in patients for this trial from 150 down to 30 patients and lowered the primary endpoint for viral load reduction from a viral load of 0.7log to viral load of 0.5log. Based upon these new protocol modifications, management projects that the total estimated costs for this trial may range from $8 million to $9 million, subject to the outcome of the October 12, 2017 FDA meeting. As described above, enrollment is continuing in the trial until the Company receives clarification from the FDA on October 12, 2017 regarding the adequate number and type of evaluable patients required for efficacy and safety necessary to support the filing of a Biologics License Application. An announcement as to when a determination may be expected regarding achievement of the trial’s primary endpoint may be made following the FDA meeting.

Rollover Study for HIV, as Combination Therapy. This study is designed for patients who successfully complete the Phase 2b/3 Combination Therapy trial and for whom the treating physicians request a continuation of PRO 140 therapy. If this study enrolls 30 patients from the Phase 3 trial and all patients remain in the Rollover study for one year, management estimates the cost of this study to be approximately $3.5 million to $4 million.

Phase 2b/3 Investigative Trial for HIV, as Long-term Monotherapy. An investigative trial including 300 patients to assess the treatment strategy of using PRO 140 subcutaneously as a long-acting single-agent maintenance therapy for 48 weeks in patients with suppressed viral load with CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection. The primary endpoint is to assess the clinical safety of PRO 140 monotherapy regimen and to evaluate the proportion of participants experiencing virologic failure. The secondary endpoint is length of time to virologic failure. Enrollment of the first several patients was announced in December 2016. We anticipate that the Company will increase the number of sites in order to accelerate enrollment following the completion of enrollment of the pivotal combination therapy trial. The estimates for the total cost of this trial currently range from $15 million to $17 million, but such estimates will be updated upon the determination of the increased number of sites, the rate of patient enrollment and the overall duration of the trial, all of which could cause the total trial costs to exceed the upper end of the foregoing range. We expect enrollment to be completed in 2018, subject to the foregoing variables.

Phase 2 Trial for Graft-versus-Host Disease. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center 100-day study with 60 patients is designed to evaluate the feasibility of the use of PRO 140 as an add-on therapy to standard GvHD prophylaxis treatment for prevention of acute GvHD in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”) or myelodysplastic syndrome (“MDS”) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HST”). Enrollment of the first patient was announced in May of 2017. Management estimates the cost of this trial to be approximately $3.5 million to $4 million. On October 5, 2017, the Company announced that the FDA had granted orphan drug designation to PRO 140 for the prevention of graft versus host disease.

The Company will require a significant amount of additional capital to complete the foregoing clinical trials and make its BLA submission. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Results of Operations for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016:

For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, the Company had no activities that produced revenues from operations.

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $11.6 million, as compared to a net loss of approximately $5.4 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase in net loss of approximately $6.2 million related primarily to an increase in operating expenses of approximately $4.4 million, as described below, increased interest expense and a charge for a change in derivative liability totaling approximately $1.8 million, of which approximately $1.6 million was non-cash. The loss per share for the quarter ended August 31, 2017 was $(0.08) compared to $(0.04) in the comparable 2016 period.

For the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, operating expenses totaled approximately $9.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, which consisted primarily of research and development, stock-based compensation, salaries and benefits, professional fees, amortization and various other operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses of approximately $4.4 million was attributable to higher research and development costs. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2017 was comparable to the same period a year ago.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses of approximately $8.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2017 increased approximately $4.5 million over the comparable 2016 quarter principally due to approximately $4.2 million in additional clinical trial and manufacturing expenses and approximately $0.3 million in non-clinical related expenses required for the BLA submission. For the quarter ended August 31, 2107, R&D expenditures continue to be primarily devoted to: (1) advancing clinical trials of PRO 140 for the extension study of the Phase 2b monotherapy trial, one pivotal Phase 2b/3 combination therapy trial, one investigative Phase 2b/3 monotherapy trial, one Phase 2 GvHD trial, (2) increased CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls) activities to address regulatory compliance requirements of a future BLA filing and to advance the preparations for manufacturing new PRO 140 and (3) preparation of the non-clinical section necessary to complete the BLA filing with the FDA.

We expect R&D expenses to continue to increase in future periods, as the activity within the Company’s clinical trials expands and the biologics manufacturing processes and related regulatory compliance activities increase, all of which support the Company’s objectives to advance the preparation for an anticipated BLA filing in 2018.

Table of Contents

For the quarter ended August 31, 2017, the Company recognized non-cash charge associated with the change in fair value of a derivative liability of approximately $0.4 million. The warrants that contain a provision which gives rise to a derivative liability were not outstanding during the comparable 2016 quarter. For each reporting period, we determine the fair value of the derivative liability and record a corresponding non-cash benefit or a non-cash charge, as a consequence of a decrease or increase in the calculated derivative liability.

For the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $1.5 million in interest expense, of which approximately $1.3 million was non-cash. The components of interest expense included amortization of discount on convertible notes, amortization of debt issuance costs, interest on convertible notes and an expense to induce the immediate exercise of certain warrants upon an extension of the expiration date. The comparable quarter a year ago incurred no interest expense, as all debt had been converted or repaid during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

The future trends in all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of clinical trials and the correlative effect on research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, in addition to the manufacturing of new commercial grade PRO 140, along with the necessary regulatory processes to confirm its qualification for future sale, if approved. The Company requires a significant amount of additional capital, and its ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend on its ability to raise such capital. See, in particular, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Item 1A Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash position for the three months ended August 31, 2017 decreased approximately $0.8 million to approximately $0.9 million as compared to a balance of approximately $1.8 million as of May 31, 2017. The net decrease in cash for the three months ended August 31, 2017 was attributable to cash used in operating activities of approximately $7.0 million, offset in part by net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $6.2 million.

As of August 31, 2017, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $6.8 million compared to negative working capital of approximately $23,000 at May 31, 2017, an increase of negative working capital of approximately $6.8 million primarily attributable to cash used in operations.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $7.0 million during the three months ended August 31, 2017, which reflects an increase of approximately $0.7 million of net cash used in operating activities over the three months ended August 31, 2016. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was attributable to increase in net loss of approximately $6.2 million over the comparable period a year ago, which was offset in part by a net increase in non-cash items totaling approximately $2.0 million coupled with an increase in current liabilities of approximately $1.6 million, offset in part by a decrease in certain prepaid expenses of approximately $1.0 million.

There were no investing activities during the three months ended August 31, 2017, compared to approximately $3,500 in the comparable quarter a year ago.

Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $6.2 million during the three months ended August 31, 2017 arose from the sale of convertible promissory notes, which generated net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million and proceeds of approximately $1.6 million from the exercise of warrants. This is an increase of approximately $5.1 million from the comparable quarter a year ago, which included net proceeds of approximately $0.7 million from a private placement of equity securities and approximately $0.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

Capital Requirements

The Company has not generated revenue to date, and will not generate product revenue in the foreseeable future. We expect that the Company will continue to incur operating losses as it proceeds with clinical trials with respect to PRO 140 and continues to advance it through the product development and regulatory process. The future trends of all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of the clinical trials and their correlative effect on general and administrative expenses, in addition to the manufacturing of new commercial grade PRO 140, along with the necessary regulatory processes to confirm its qualification for future sale, if approved. The Company will require a significant amount of additional capital in the future to fulfill BLA requirements related to manufacturing PRO 140 for commercial use.

In connection with this undertaking, the Company has have entered into an arrangement with a third party contract manufacturing organization (the “CMO”) to provide process transfer, validation and manufacturing services for PRO 140. Management believes the CMO will best serve the Company’s strategic objectives for the anticipated BLA filing and, if approved, the long-term commercial manufacturing capabilities for PRO 140. Management will continue to assess manufacturing capacity requirements as new market information becomes available. In the event that the Company terminates the agreement with its CMO, the Company may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the CMO. Conditioned on the timing of termination, the financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $1.2 million to an approximate high of $3.6 million. These CMO undertakings are anticipated to require approximately $20 million of additional capital over the next two calendar years, including the estimated costs to fill, label, and package product into the final commercial package for commercial sale.

The Company has entered into project work orders for each of its clinical trials with its clinical research organization (the “CRO”) and related laboratory vendors. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company has prepaid certain execution fees for direct services costs. In connection with its clinical trials, the Company has entered into separate project work orders for each trial with its CRO. In the event that the Company terminates any trial, the Company may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the CRO. Conditioned upon the form of termination of any one trial, the financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $0.1 million to an approximate high of $0.4 million. In the remote circumstance that the Company terminates all clinical trials, the collective financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $0.5 million to an approximate high of $1.8 million.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated July 25, 2012, between the Company and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Progenics”), the Company acquired from Progenics its proprietary HIV viral-entry inhibitor drug candidate PRO 140 (“PRO 140”), a humanized anti-CCR5 monoclonal antibody, as well as certain other related assets, including the existing inventory of bulk PRO 140 drug product, intellectual property, certain related licenses and sublicenses, and U.S. Food and Drug administration (“FDA”) regulatory filings. On October 16, 2012, the Company paid $3,500,000 in cash to Progenics to close the acquisition transaction. The Company is also required to pay Progenics the following milestone payments and royalties: (i) $1,500,000 at the time of the first dosing in a U.S. Phase 3 trial or non-US equivalent, which was paid during the three months ended February 29, 2016; (ii) $5,000,000 at the time of the first US new drug application approval by the FDA or other non-U.S. approval for the sale of PRO 140; and (iii) royalty payments of up to five percent (5%) on net sales during the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of PRO 140 until the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire patent included in the acquired assets, and (b) 10 years, in each case determined on a country-by country basis. Payments to Progenics are in addition to payments due under a Development and License Agreement, dated April 30, 1999 (the “PDL License”), between Protein Design Labs (now AbbVie Inc.) and Progenics, which was assigned to us in the PRO 140 transaction, pursuant to which the Company must pay additional milestone payments and royalties as follows: (i) $1,000,000 upon initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial, which was paid during the three months ended February 29, 2016; (ii) $500,000 upon filing a Biologic License Application with the FDA or non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; (iii) $500,000 upon FDA approval or approval by another non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; and (iv) royalties of up to 7.5% of net sales for the longer of 10 years and the date of expiration of the last to expire licensed patent. Additionally, the PDL License provides for an annual maintenance fee of $150,000 until royalties paid exceed that amount.

As of the date of this filing, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future scientific research milestones is not reasonably determinable, thus the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and its sub-licensors are deemed contingent consideration and, therefore, are not currently accruable.

On January 31, 2017, approximately $6.0 million in convertible notes issued between May 31, 2017 and July 28, 2017 will become due and payable. Unless the holders elect to convert the principal amount of such notes plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 7.0%, or an aggregate of approximately $6.3 million, into common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share, the Company will be required to repay such amount to its investors in cash.

Going Concern

As reported in the accompanying financial statements, for the three months ended August 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $11.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The Company has no activities that produced revenue in the periods presented and has sustained operating losses since inception.

The Company will require a significant amount of additional capital to fund operations, and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise such additional capital, commercialize its product and achieve profitability. If the Company is not able to raise such additional capital on a timely basis or on favorable terms, the Company may need to scale back its operations or slow down or cease certain clinical trials or CMO activities, which could materially delay the timeframe to BLA submission. In extreme cases, the Company could be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, discontinue its operations or liquidate its assets.

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public and private equity securities and proceeds from convertible notes payable and related party notes payable. The Company intends to finance its future operating activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of debt and equity securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional financing sources. As of the date of this filing, the Company has approximately $79 million of securities available for issuance or approximately $65 million, assuming the full exercise of previously issued warrants in future financing rounds registered under its universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on September 9, 2016.

The sale of equity and convertible debt securities to raise additional capital may result in dilution to stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of common shares. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these activities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict the Company’s operations. Any other third-party funding arrangements could require the Company to relinquish valuable rights. The Company may require additional capital beyond currently anticipated needs. Additional capital, if available, may not be available on reasonable terms. Please refer to the risk factors under Item 1.A. to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

The Company’s exposure to market risk is limited to changes in the market price of its common stock and to a lesser extent foreign currency exchange risk.

Common Stock Price Risk

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge risks relating to its ongoing business operations or for speculative purposes. However, as described in greater detail in Note 5 (Derivative Liability) to the accompanying financial statements, the Company is required to account for certain outstanding series of warrants as derivative instruments.

All derivative instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values. Each quarter, management determines the fair value of the warrants accounted for as derivative instruments using a binomial lattice valuation model as described in greater detail in Note 5 (Derivative Liability) to the accompanying financial statements. The key inputs in determining fair value of such derivative liabilities include the Company’s stock price and stock price volatility, and the then applicable risk free interest rate. Changes in these inputs affect the valuation of such derivatives and result in non-cash gain or loss each quarterly period. For example, a 10% increase or decrease in stock price would increase or decrease the value of the warrant derivative liability by approximately $0.4 million, resulting in a non-cash loss (for an increase) or gain (for a decrease) of the same amount. Similarly, a 10% increase or decrease in stock price volatility would increase or decrease the value of the warrant derivative liability by approximately $0.2 million, resulting in a non-cash loss (for an increase) or gain (for a decrease) of the same amount. Finally, a 10% increase or decrease in the risk free interest rate would not have a material effect on the fair value of the derivative liability. Management’s discretion is required to estimate certain other factors described in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, which also contribute to the fair value estimates of such derivative liability.

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, the Company recorded a non-cash loss from fair value changes in such warrants of approximately $0.4 million, due primarily to an increase in the Company’s common stock price and decreases in stock price volatility and risk free interest rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company may face certain exposure to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, due primarily to a license agreement with a third-party licensor under which the Company is required to pay annual license fees and/or royalties denominated in British pounds sterling. For more information about this license agreement, see Note 8 (License Agreements) to the accompanying financial statements. Nevertheless, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have not previously had, nor does management believe that they will have, any material impact on earnings, cash flows or other financial results of the Company.
