Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Eyenovia. Inc. (“Eyenovia” or the “Company”) is a clinical stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microdose array print (MAP™) therapeutics. Eyenovia aims to achieve clinical microdosing of next-generation formulations of well-established ophthalmic pharmaceutical agents using its high-precision targeted ocular delivery system branded the Optejet®, which has the potential to replace conventional eye dropper delivery and improve safety, tolerability, patient compliance and topical delivery success for ophthalmic eye treatments. In the clinic, the Optejet has demonstrated the ability to horizontally deliver ophthalmic medication with a success rate significantly higher than that of traditional eye drops (~ 90% vs. ~ 50%). Using its proprietary delivery technology, Eyenovia is developing the next generation of smart ophthalmic therapies which target new indications or new combinations where there are currently no comparable drug therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Eyenovia’s microdose therapeutics follow the FDA-designated pharmaceutical registration and regulatory process. Its products are classified by the FDA as drugs, and not medical devices or drug-device combination products.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2020 or any other period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2020.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Since the date of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed below.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.9 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $73.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $15.6 million and $15.9 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $11.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “Bausch License Agreement”) with a subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (“Bausch Health”) pursuant to which the Company received an upfront payment from Bausch Health of $10.0 million. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for details.
The Company believes its current cash on hand, including the proceeds received from the Bausch License Agreement and warrant exercises, is sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Thereafter, the Company may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support its future operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund research and development activities including clinical studies, working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully manufacture its products and commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in the financial statements.
The Company has cash deposits in a financial institution which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cash balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $22,614,578 and $13,902,601, respectively.
Derivative Instruments
The Company evaluates its embedded conversion options and any freestanding instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record them at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)- Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features” (“ASU 2017-11”). Equity-linked instruments, such as warrants and convertible instruments may contain down round features that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Under ASU 2017-11, a down round feature will no longer require a freestanding equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) to be classified as a liability that is remeasured at fair value through the income statement (i.e. marked-to-market). However, other features of the equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) must still be evaluated to determine whether liability or equity classification is appropriate. Equity classified instruments are not marked-to-market. For earnings per share ("EPS") reporting, the ASU requires companies to recognize the effect of the down round feature only when it is triggered by treating it as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2020, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2020-03”). ASU 2020-03 improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics. ASU 2020-03 includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The Company adopted ASU 2020-03 upon issuance, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

Note 6 – Notes Payable – Continued
On May 8, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $463,353 pursuant to a loan provided in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan provides for monthly installment payments of $19,508 beginning in August 2021 with the remaining balance due on May 3, 2022, the maturity date. The PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, the Company is eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of its PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP Loan, including, but not limited to, payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”) incurred during the 24 weeks subsequent to funding, and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels following the funding of the PPP Loan. The Company intends to use the proceeds of its PPP Loan for Qualifying Expenses. However, no assurance is provided that the Company will be able to obtain forgiveness of its PPP Loan in whole or in part. Any amounts that are not forgiven incur interest at 1.0% per annum and monthly repayments of principal and interest are deferred until six months after the Small Business Administration makes a determination on forgiveness. While the PPP Loan currently has a two-year maturity, the amended law permits the borrower to request a five-year maturity from its lender.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded interest expense of $3,824 and $0, respectively, and $9,855 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On April 8, 2020, Eyenovia entered into an amendment (the “License Amendment”) to the Exclusive License Agreement. Pursuant to the License Amendment, the Company can license to any third party the right to research, develop, commercialize, manufacture or use certain products identified below (the “Senju Licensed Products”) previously licensed to Senju in China (including the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) and South Korea (the “Territory”) if such a license is executed by the Company by April 8, 2021. The Senju Licensed Products are those using piezo-print technology in a microdose dispenser with (i) atropine sulfate as its sole active ingredient to treat myopia in humans and (ii) pilocarpine as its sole active ingredient to treat presbyopia in humans.
Pursuant to the License Amendment, the Company must pay Senju (a) close to a mid-double digit percentage of revenue on any lump-sum payments the Company receives from the third party, revenue (net of costs) obtained by the Company from contract research and/or development of the Senju Licensed Product in the Territory, and revenue (net of costs) obtained by the Company from contract manufacture for the device of the Senju Licensed Product in the Territory, the aggregate of which must be at least a high seven figure dollar amount minimum payment to Senju; and (b) a lower-double digit percentage of any sales royalty revenue the Company receives from the third party. Unless a third-party license is executed by the Company prior to April 8, 2021 (in which case, subject to early termination the License Amendment shall remain in effect for the duration of such license), the License Amendment terminates on April 8, 2021, but may be terminated earlier by Senju upon the Company’s material breach of the License Amendment, subject to a 60-day cure period.
The Exclusive License Agreement was further amended in a Letter Agreement by and between the Company and Senju on August 10, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company will pay a mid-double digit percentage of certain payments, royalties, or net proceeds received from Arctic Vision in connection with the Arctic Vision License Agreement to Senju. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid Senju $1.6 million in connection with the Arctic Vision License Agreement which was recorded as deferred license costs in the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheet and will be recognized as expense upon earning the related fee.

Equity Incentive Plan
On April 7, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Restated Plan”), which stockholders approved on June 30, 2020. The Restated Plan makes certain changes to the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”). For example, the Restated Plan increases the number of shares of Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan to 2,950,000 shares. The Restated Plan requires that all equity awards issued under the Restated Plan vest at least twelve months from the applicable grant date, subject to accelerated vesting, and provides that no dividend or dividend equivalent will be paid on any unvested equity award, although dividends with respect to unvested portions of equity may accrue and be paid when, and if, the awards later vest and the shares are actually issued to the grantee. In addition, the Restated Plan sets an annual limit on the grant date fair value of awards to any non-employee director, together with any cash fees paid during the year, of $150,000, subject to certain exceptions for a non-executive chair of the Board. Finally, the Restated Plan makes several administrative changes to the 2018 Plan, including to clarify that awards made under the Restated Plan are intended to be exempt from or comply with Section 409(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to stock options granted, the Company used the following approximate assumptions:

2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||||||||

Expected dividends | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% |
The Company has computed the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are accounted for at the time of occurrence. The expected term is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company does not have a trading history to support its historical volatility calculations. Accordingly, the Company used a blended volatility whereby it uses its historical volatility for the period from its IPO through the valuation date and uses the average of peer-group data of six comparable entities to supplement its own historical data for the preceding years in computing its expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Overview
We are a clinical stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of microdose array print (MAP™) therapeutics. We aim to achieve clinical microdosing of next-generation formulations of well-established ophthalmic pharmaceutical agents using our high-precision targeted ocular delivery system, branded the Optejet®, which has the potential to replace conventional eye dropper delivery and improve safety, tolerability, patient compliance and topical delivery success for ophthalmic eye treatments. In the clinic, the Optejet has demonstrated the ability to horizontally deliver ophthalmic medication with a success rate significantly higher than traditional eye drops (~ 90% vs. ~ 50%). Our technology also can deliver up to a 75% reduction in ocular drug and preservative exposure and has demonstrated significant improvement in the therapeutic index in drugs used for mydriasis and IOP lowering through three Phase II and Phase III trials. Using the Optejet, we are developing the next generation of smart ophthalmic therapeutics which target new indications or new combinations where there are currently no comparable drug therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA. Our microdose therapeutics follow the FDA-designated pharmaceutical registration and regulatory process. Our products are classified by the FDA as drugs, and not medical devices or drug-device combination products. Our pipeline is currently focused on the late-stage development of microdosed medications for progressive myopia, presbyopia, and mydriasis.
MicroPine is our first-in-class topical therapy for the treatment of progressive myopia, a back-of-the-eye ocular disease associated with pathologic axial elongation and sclero-retinal stretching. In the United States, myopia is estimated to affect approximately 25 million children, with up to 3 million considered to be at risk for high myopia. In February 2019, the FDA accepted our investigational new drug application, or IND, to initiate a Phase III registration trial of MicroPine (the CHAPERONE study) to reduce the progression of myopia in children. We enrolled the first patient in the CHAPERONE study in June 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we previously experienced delays in trial enrollment and initiation as a result of reduced clinical trial activities and operations at investigator sites. However, we have since been able to resume enrollment in the CHAPERONE study.
On October 9, 2020, we entered into a License Agreement (the “Bausch License Agreement”) with a subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc. (“Bausch Health”), pursuant to which Bausch Health may develop and commercialize MicroPine in the United States and Canada . Under the terms of the Bausch License Agreement, we received an upfront payment of $10.0 million and we may receive up to a total of $35.0 million in additional payments, based on the achievement of certain regulatory and launch-based milestones. Bausch Health also will pay us royalties on a tiered basis (ranging from mid-single digit to mid-teen percentages) on gross profits from sales of MicroPine in the United States and Canada, subject to certain adjustments. Under the terms of the Bausch License Agreement, Bausch Health has assumed oversight and costs related to the ongoing CHAPERONE study.
19
MicroLine is our pharmacologic treatment for presbyopia. Presbyopia is a non-preventable, age-related hardening of the lens, which causes the gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on nearby objects. There currently are no known FDA-approved drugs for the improvement of near vision in patients with presbyopia, although other companies have related therapies in their pipeline. We have two planned Phase III VISION trials for MicroLine, and subject to any impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we anticipate initiating our Phase III VISION trials in 2020.
On August 10, 2020, we entered into a License Agreement (the “Arctic Vision License Agreement”) with Arctic Vision (Hong Kong) Limited (“Arctic Vision”), pursuant to which Arctic Vision may develop and commercialize MicroPine and MicroLine in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and South Korea. Under the terms of the Arctic Vision License Agreement, we received an upfront payment of $4.0 million before any payments to Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Senju”). In addition, we may receive up to a total of $41.75 million in additional payments, based on various development and regulatory milestones, including the initiation of clinical research and approvals in Greater China and South Korea, and development costs. Arctic Vision also will purchase its supply of MicroPine and MicroLine from us or, for such products not supplied by us, pay us a mid-single digit percentage royalty on net sales of such products, subject to certain adjustments. We will pay a mid-double digit percentage of such payments, royalties, or net proceeds of such supply to Senju pursuant to the Exclusive License Agreement with Senju dated March 8, 2015, as amended by the License Amendment dated April 8, 2020, and a Letter Agreement dated August 10, 2020.
MicroStat (or Mydcombi™) is our fixed combination formulation of phenylephrine-tropicamide for mydriasis, designed to be a novel approach for the estimated 80 million office-based comprehensive and diabetic eye exams performed every year in the United States. We have completed two Phase III trials for MicroStat and announced positive results from these studies, known as MIST-1 and MIST-2. We currently remain on track to file a new drug application, or NDA, with the FDA for MicroStat in 2020.
We have not completed development of any product candidate and we have therefore not generated any revenues from product sales.
Historically, we have financed our operations principally through equity offerings, including our initial public offering, numerous public offerings in 2018, 2019 and August 2020, and our private placement that closed in March 2020. Recently we also have generated cash through licensing arrangements. Based upon our current operating plan, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing. Thereafter, we may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs.
Our net losses were $5.1 million and $15.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had working capital and an accumulated deficit of $18.6 million and $73.2 million, respectively.
Financial Overview
Revenue
We have not generated any revenue from product sales since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. Our ability to generate revenues will depend heavily on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our micro-therapeutic product candidates.
Recently, we have licensed the use of our products in certain regions and expect to begin to earn fees from upfront payments and additional payments based on various development and regulatory milestones.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are incurred in connection with the research and development of our microdose-therapeutics and consist primarily of contract service expenses. Given where we are in our life cycle, we do not separately track research and development expenses by project. Our research and development expenses consist of:
20
· | direct clinical and non-clinical expenses, which include expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, and costs associated with preclinical activities, development activities and regulatory activities; |
· | personnel-related expenses, which include expenses related to consulting agreements with individuals that have since entered into employment agreements with us as well as salaries and other compensation of employees that is attributable to research and development activities; and |
· | facilities and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, marketing, insurance and other supplies used in research and development activities. |
We expense research and development costs as incurred. We record costs for some development activities, such as clinical trials, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as subject enrollment, clinical site activations or other information our vendors provide to us.
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $5.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 8%, as compared to $5.2 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million increase in professional services related to business development activities, a $0.3 million in patent related expenses which is expected to continue to increase as programs are further developed and a $0.1 million increase in liability insurance related to an increase in the insurance premium on directors and officers insurance. This was offset by a $0.3 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $3.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 5%, as compared to $3.2 million recorded for the three months ended, September 30, 2019. Research and development expenses consisted of the following:
For the Three Months Ended | ||||||||
September 30, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Direct clinical and non-clinical expenses | $ | 1,745,880 | $ | 1,649,931 | ||||
Personnel-related expenses | 890,771 | 729,010 | ||||||
Non-cash stock-based compensation expenses | 346,294 | 255,323 | ||||||
Supplies and materials | 325,517 | 563,544 | ||||||
Facilities and other expenses | 55,297 | 3,388 | ||||||
Total research and development expenses | $ | 3,363,759 | $ | 3,201,196 | ||||
The increase in direct clinical and non-clinical expenses was primarily due to increased activities related to the MicroPine and MicroLine studies in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in personnel-related expenses was primarily due to the hiring of six additional employees in the second half of 2019. The increase in facilities and other expenses was primarily due to increased depreciation on newly acquired assets. The increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense was due to additional stock options that were granted subsequent to September 30, 2019. This was slightly offset by a decrease in supplies and materials due to a decrease in spending on device inventory used in clinical trials as the such trials were delayed in the first part of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
21
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $1.7 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 16%, as compared to $1.5 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to a $0.15 million increase in professional services related to business development activities and $0.1 million increase in patent expense and advertising and marketing as the Company increases activities to prepare for commercialization. This was slightly offset by a decrease of $0.05 million in travel expenses related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $9.9 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 8%, as compared to $10.8 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Research and development expenses consisted of the following:
For the Nine Months Ended | ||||||||
September 30, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Direct clinical and non-clinical expenses | $ | 5,076,662 | $ | 6,059,900 | ||||
Personnel-related expenses | 2,533,439 | 2,253,951 | ||||||
Non-cash stock-based compensation expenses | 1,002,150 | 1,156,241 | ||||||
Supplies and materials | 1,108,021 | 1,295,806 | ||||||
Facilities and other expenses | 193,024 | 12,216 | ||||||
Total research and development expenses | $ | 9,913,296 | $ | 10,778,114 |
The decrease in direct clinical and non-clinical expenses and supplies and materials was primarily due to a decrease in activities related to the impact of the COVID–19 pandemic during the first part of 2020. The increase in personnel-related expenses and facilities and other expenses was primarily due to the hiring of six additional employees as we expanded our research and development activities for our microdose therapeutics in the second half of 2019. The decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense as compared to the 2019 period was primarily due to certain stock options that were accelerated and immediately vested in February 2019 slightly offset by additional options granted subsequent to September 30, 2019.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $5.7 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 8%, as compared to $5.2 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million increase in professional services related to business development activities and $0.3 million in patent related expenses which is expected to continue to increase as programs are further developed. This was offset by a $0.3 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2020, our accumulated deficit since inception was $73.2 million.
As of September 30, 2020, we had a cash balance of $22.9 million, working capital of $18.6 million and stockholders’ equity of $18.7 million. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $0.6 million and $0, respectively, of debt outstanding.
22
In August 2020, we entered into the Arctic Vision License Agreement, pursuant to which we received an upfront payment from Arctic Vision of $4.0 million before any payments to Senju. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received approximately $18.3 million of net proceeds from our public and private offerings, approximately $2.6 million from the exercise of warrants, and approximately $0.5 million pursuant to a loan provided in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we entered into the Bausch License Agreement, pursuant to which we received an upfront payment from Bausch Health of $10.0 million.
We expect our current cash on hand to be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. Thereafter, we may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund research and development activities including clinical studies, working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully manufacture our products and commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $11.9 million, which includes cash used to fund a net loss of $15.6 million, reduced by $1.9 million of non-cash expenses, plus $1.8 million of cash generated from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $14.9 million, which includes cash used to fund a net loss of $15.9 million, reduced by $1.9 million of non-cash expenses, plus $0.9 million of cash used to fund changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.2 million, which was related to purchases of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was less than $0.1 million, which was related to purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $20.8 million, which was primarily attributable to aggregate net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and warrants in our public offerings of $18.0 million, $2.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock warrants, and $0.5 million in proceeds from a loan in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. This was slightly offset by the repayment of notes payable of $0.4 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $13.5 million, which was attributable to $13.0 million of aggregate net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in a public offering in July 2019 and $0.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
23
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
