SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions in this report.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on December 23, 2020, as amended January 28, 2021, including, among other things, risks associated with:

●

the timing and the success of the design of the clinical trials and planned clinical trials of our lead product candidate, ONS-5010;

●

our reliance on our contract manufacturing organizations and other vendors;

●

whether the results of our clinical trials will be sufficient to support domestic or global regulatory approvals;

●

our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for ONS-5010 in the United States and other markets if we successfully complete clinical trials;

●

our expectations regarding the potential market size and the size of the patient populations for our product candidates, if approved, for commercial use;

●

our ability to fund our working capital requirements, and our expectations regarding our current cash resources;

●

the rate and degree of market acceptance of our current and future product candidates;

●

the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our business and product candidates;

●

developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;

●

our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional funding;

●

our expectations regarding government and third-party payor coverage and reimbursement;

●

our ability to compete in the markets we serve;

●

the factors that may impact our financial results; and

●

our estimates regarding the sufficiency of our cash resources and our need for additional funding.

These risks are not exhaustive. Additional factors could harm our business and financial performance, such as risks associated with the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this report by these cautionary statements.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (“Outlook” or the “Company”) was incorporated in New Jersey on January 5, 2010, started operations in July 2011, reincorporated in Delaware by merging with and into a Delaware corporation in October 2015 and changed its name to “Outlook Therapeutics, Inc.” in November 2018. The Company is a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing ONS-5010, an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in retinal indications. The Company is based in Iselin, New Jersey.

The Company has been actively monitoring the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its impact globally. Given the Company’s current infrastructure needs and current strategy, the Company was able to transition to remote working with limited impact on productivity, as shelter-in-place and similar government orders were imposed. All clinical and chemistry, manufacturing and control activities are currently active for NORSE TWO, the Company’s remaining clinical trials under its Biologics License Application (“BLA”) registration program for ONS-5010 for wet age-related macular degeneration (“wet AMD”).

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19. Management believes the financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2021 were not significantly impacted by COVID-19.

2. Liquidity

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $10.5 million of principal and accrued interest due under an unsecured promissory note maturing on January 1, 2022, and a $0.9 million loan granted pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which matures on May 2, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of March 31, 2021 will be sufficient to fund its operations through November 2021. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations in the future and to commercially develop ONS-5010 and any other product candidates. Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include but are not limited to proceeds from potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, the issuance of equity securities, and the issuance of additional debt, potential collaborations and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.

The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above; (ii) the Company’s ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies; (iii) the success of its research and development; (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately; (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s proposed future products.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2021 and its results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2021. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 23, 2020 and amended on January 28, 2021.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, including as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, actual results may materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average common shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include warrants, stock options and non-vested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards using the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares due to the Company’s loss.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:


		Three months ended March 31,			Six months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(13,106,521)	$	(17,459,591)	$	(27,562,435)	$	(35,937,275)
Common stock outstanding (weighted average)		150,730,191		47,895,771		136,080,637		38,849,364
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.09)	$	(0.36)	$	(0.20)	$	(0.93)

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which removes and modifies some existing disclosure requirements and adds others. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and removes the requirement to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on October 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

●

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

●

Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The warrants issued in connection with the convertible senior secured notes (see Note 8) are classified as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the warrants include cash settlement features at the option of the holders under certain circumstances. The warrant liability is revalued each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised or expire. The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:


	March 31, 2021			September 30, 2020
Risk-free interest rate		0.60	%		0.24	%
Remaining contractual life of warrant		3.9	years		4.4	years

Fair value of common stock	$	2.25	per share	$	0.72	per share

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The fair value and carrying value of the PPP loan included in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets on March 31, 2021, was $868,000 and $904,200, respectively. The fair value and carrying value of the unsecured promissory note included in long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets on March 31, 2021, was $10,546,000 and $10,383,996, respectively. The estimated fair values were based on discounted expected future cash flows using prevailing interest rates that are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Unsecured promissory note

On November 5, 2020, the Company received $10.0 million in net proceeds from issuance of an unsecured promissory note with face amount of $10.2 million. Debt issuance costs totaling $228,032 are recorded as debt discount and are deducted from the principal in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The debt discount is amortized as a component of interest expense over the 14-month term of the underlying debt using the effective interest method. The note bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and matures January 1, 2022. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the note at any time by paying 105% of the outstanding balance elected for pre-payment. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $242,819, and $392,028, respectively, of interest expense related to the unsecured promissory note.

Paycheck Protection Program term loan

On May 4, 2020, the Company received $904,200 in proceeds from a loan granted pursuant to the PPP of the CARES Act. The PPP term loan is evidenced by a promissory note containing the terms and conditions for repayment of the PPP term loan. The PPP term loan provides for an initial six-month deferral of payments and any amount owed on the loan has a two-year maturity (May 2022), with an interest rate of 1% per annum. Commencing October 15, 2021, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize any principal amount outstanding on the PPP term loan as of October 15, 2021 by May 2, 2022. The Company has the right to prepay any amounts outstanding under this loan at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without penalty. Aggregate interest expense on the PPP loan for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,205, and $4,484, respectively.

Senior secured notes

In December 2019, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the holders of its $7,254,077 outstanding aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of senior secured notes (the “Old Senior Notes”) originally issued pursuant to the certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated December 22, 2017, as amended on April 13, 2017, November 5, 2018, and June 28, 2019 (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the holders of the Old Senior Notes exchanged the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest for new senior secured notes having an aggregate outstanding original principal amount of $7,589,027 which included an aggregate exchange fee of $334,950.

The new senior secured notes were substantially similar to the Old Senior Notes, as amended through the date of the Exchange Agreement, bore interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum and would have matured December 31, 2020 (subject to extension to June 30, 2021 at the Company’s option upon payment of an extension fee equal to 3% of the outstanding balance and being in compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements). The new senior secured notes were convertible, at the option of the holder, beginning April 1, 2020, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 90% of the two lowest closing bid prices in the 20 trading days immediately preceding such conversion, subject to a floor price of $0.232 per share. The conversion feature was determined to be a redemption feature and was bifurcated from the debt instrument. The estimated fair value of the redemption feature was $8,264,451 at issuance. The Exchange Agreement was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of convertible senior secured notes for the Exchange Agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $8,060,580, which amount was equal to the excess fair value of the notes and bifurcated redemption feature over the notes’ net carrying value.

The fair value of the redemption feature was estimated by using a Monte Carlo simulation model and a with-and-without perspective, where the fair value of debt instrument was measured with the derivative and without the derivative and the difference is the implied fair value of the redemption feature. The value of the debt instrument with the redemption feature depended on the daily stock price path followed by the Company’s common stock price. This model simulated daily common stock prices from the issuance date through the maturity date for the debt instrument. At issuance, the Company utilized a volatility estimate of 130% based upon the observed historical volatility of both the Company and peer group for 1-year and 2-year periods. Risk-free interest rate was based upon US treasury yields.

During the year ended September 30, 2020, the holder of the new senior secured notes converted the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest and as of September 30, 2020, there were no longer any new senior secured notes outstanding.

Aggregate interest expense on the Old Senior Notes and the new senior secured notes for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 was $348,541, and $550,062, respectively.

Unsecured notes

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a forbearance and exchange agreement with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (the “Lender”).

The stockholder notes were accruing interest at the rate of 2.5% per month. The Lender agreed to refrain and forbear from bringing any action to collect under the stockholder notes until March 7, 2020 and to reduce the interest rates currently in effect to 12.0% per annum simple interest during such forbearance period. The Company also agreed to, at Lender’s election, repay or exchange the stockholder notes (or portions thereof) for shares of the Company's common stock at an exchange rate of $13.44 per share or, beginning September 2019, at 95% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices in the prior twenty trading days, as applicable.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the remaining unsecured notes with an aggregate carrying amount of $977,966 and accrued interest of $570,460 were exchanged for 1,475,258 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average exchange price of $1.10. As of December 31, 2019, these unsecured notes were no longer outstanding. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $12,997 of interest expense related to the unsecured notes. No interest expense related to the unsecured notes was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

10. Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Common stock

In February 2021, the Company issued in an underwritten public offering, including partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, an aggregate of 38,593,767 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of $1.00 for $36.0 million in net proceeds after payment of underwriter discounts and commissions and other underwriter offering costs.

of $1.016 for $2.5 million. The warrants issued were exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.9535 per share and will expire four years from the issuance date.

In connection with the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of warrants to those investors, the Company issued placement agent warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 531,890 shares of common stock, on substantially the same terms as the concurrent private placement warrants, at an exercise price of $1.27 per share and a 5-year term.

Effective March 19, 2020, following approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,244,739 shares of its common stock to the four former principals (who include two of its named executive officers, Messrs. Dagnon and Evanson) of MTTR, LLC (“MTTR”) pursuant to their respective consulting agreements that were entered into on January 27, 2020 concurrent with the termination agreement and mutual release with MTTR to terminate the strategic partnership agreement. Refer to Note 11 for the accounting of the restricted stock issued and Note 12 for further details on the terminated MTTR strategic partnership agreement.

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 109 shares of common stock, respectively, upon the vesting of RSUs.

Series A-1 convertible preferred stock

A total of 200,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1”) were authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Designation of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designation”). The shares of Series A-1 had a stated value of $100.00 per share, and ranked senior to all junior securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).

On March 23, 2020, the Company issued 29,358,621 shares of its common stock upon conversion of all 68,112 shares of Series A-1 outstanding by BioLexis, pursuant to an agreement entered on January 27, 2020 with BioLexis, whereby the effective conversion rate of the Series A-1 was increased from the $18.89797 per share to $431.03447263 per share, (or an effective conversion rate of $0.232 per share) following stockholder approval of the amended terms on March 19, 2020.

The amendment to the Series A-1 was deemed an extinguishment for accounting purposes. The excess fair value of common stock received over the net carrying value of the Series A-1 was $10,328,118 and reflected as a deemed dividend in the consolidated statements of operations for purposes of presenting net loss attributable to common stockholders when calculating basic and diluted loss per share. As of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, there were no shares of Series A-1 outstanding.

The Series A-1 accrued dividends at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly, payable quarterly at the Company’s option in cash or in kind in additional shares of Series A-1. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,661 shares of Series A-1 to settle the related dividends that were due on a quarterly basis.

the board of directors or, at the discretion of the board of directors, by a committee of the board. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan is 106,490. As of March 31, 2021, PSUs representing 2,470 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2011 Plan. In light of the December 2015 adoption of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, (the “2015 Plan”) no future awards under the 2011 Plan will be granted.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

In December 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, performance stock awards and other forms of equity compensation to Company employees, directors and consultants. The aggregate number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Plan is 27,838,019. As of March 31, 2021, 15,657,586 shares remained available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

Stock options and RSUs are granted under the Company’s 2015 Plan and generally vest over a period of one to four years from the date of grant and, in the case of stock options, have a term of 10 years. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of each option and share of RSU over its vesting period.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories of its statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Restricted stock

In connection with the consulting agreements entered into by the Company and four former principals of MTTR, in March 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,244,739 shares of its common stock. Refer to Note 12 for further details on the consulting agreements and terminated strategic partnership agreement. These shares may not be sold until the earlier of (i) six months following FDA approval of ONS-5010, (ii) the date the Company publicly announces not to pursue development of ONS-5010, (iii) a change in control or (iv) January 2025. In addition, the Company has the right to repurchase the shares for $0.01 per share if the consultant terminates his agreement other than for good reason or the Company terminates the agreement for cause. The repurchase right lapses, in tiered percentages, based upon the completion of enrollment of the Company’s NORSE 2 clinical trial of ONS-5010 by certain dates. The repurchase right may also lapse as to 50% or 100% of the shares if the Company enters into certain agreements pertaining to ONS-5010 that meet certain value thresholds or the Company’s share price meets certain predefined targets. The repurchase right also lapses as to 100% of the shares upon the earliest to occur of (i) filing of the BLA for ONS-5010, (ii) termination of the agreement by the consultant for good reason or by the Company other than for cause. (iii) in the event of disability, or (iv) upon a change in control. As of March 31, 2021, 1,811,184 shares of common stock were vested and not subject to repurchase rights.

The grant date fair value of the restricted shares was $0.54 per share and equal to the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock at the time of grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the shorter of the explicit service period or derived service period, which was determined to be 4.8 years at the time of grant. Compensation expense may be

As of March 31, 2021, there was $2,307,477 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock.

12. Related-Party Transactions

MTTR - strategic partnership agreement (ONS-5010)

In February 2018, the Company entered into a strategic partnership agreement with MTTR to advise on regulatory, clinical and commercial strategy and assist in obtaining approval of ONS-5010, the Company's bevacizumab therapeutic product candidate for ophthalmic indications.

In November 2018, the board of directors of the Company appointed Mr. Terry Dagnon as Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Jeff Evanson as Chief Commercial Officer. Both Mr. Dagnon and Mr. Evanson initially provided services to the Company pursuant to the February 2018 strategic partnership agreement with MTTR, as amended. Mr. Dagnon and Mr. Evanson were both principals in MTTR. The Company did not pay Mr. Dagnon or Mr. Evanson any direct compensation as consultants or as employees during the three months ended December 31, 2019 nor during the period from October 1, 2019 through March 19, 2020. Both Mr. Dagnon and Mr. Evanson were compensated directly by MTTR for services provided to the Company as the Company's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, respectively, pursuant to the strategic partnership agreement until such agreement, as amended, was terminated effective March 19, 2020. The Company began compensating Mr. Dagnon and Mr. Evanson directly as consultants effective March 19, 2020 pursuant to their respective consulting agreements with the Company, which became effective March 19, 2020 following stockholder approval of the share issuances contemplated therein. Mr. Dagnon and Mr. Evanson have also agreed to provide consulting services to an affiliate of BioLexis pursuant to a separate arrangement.

On January 27, 2020, the Company entered into a termination agreement and mutual release with MTTR to terminate the strategic partnership agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed (x) to issue to the four principals of MTTR (who include two of its named executive officers, Messrs. Dagnon and Evanson), an aggregate of 7,244,739 shares of its common stock, subject to stockholder approval, (y) to enter into consulting agreements with each of the four principals setting forth the terms of his respective compensation arrangement, and (z) to pay MTTR a one-time settlement fee of $110,000, upon effectiveness of the agreement.

Concurrently, the Company also entered into consulting agreements directly with each of the four principals of MTTR setting forth the terms of his respective compensation arrangement, as well as providing for certain transfer restrictions and repurchase rights applicable to the shares of common stock to be issued pursuant hereto. The termination agreement, and the consulting agreements, became effective upon stockholder approval of the share issuance on March 19, 2020. Refer to Note 11 for the accounting of the restricted stock issued and compensation expense recognized.

During the three months ended March 2021 and 2020, MTTR and its four principals under the strategic partnership agreement and the subsequent individual consulting agreements earned an aggregate $73,572 and $169,347, respectively; and $541,225 and $780,911 during the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which includes monthly consulting fees and expense reimbursement, but excludes stock-based compensation related to restricted stock (Note 11). As of March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020 an aggregate $90,476 and $89,762, respectively, was due to the former MTTR principals as consultants, which is included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Overview

We are a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company working to develop the first ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use in retinal indications. Our goal is to launch directly or through a strategic partner as the first and only approved bevacizumab in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Japan and other markets for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, or DME, and branch retinal vein occlusion, or BRVO.

ONS-5010 (LYTENAVA (bevacizumab-vikg)), our sole product candidate in active clinical development, is an investigational ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab, which we are developing to be administered as an intravitreal injection for the treatment of wet AMD and other retinal diseases. Bevacizumab is a full-length, humanized anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) recombinant monoclonal antibody, or mAb, that inhibits VEGF and associated angiogenic activity. The study design for our Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate ONS-5010 as an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab was reviewed at an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in April 2018, and we filed our investigational new drug application, or IND, with the FDA in the first quarter of calendar 2019.

Our clinical program for ONS-5010 in wet AMD involves three clinical trials, which we refer to as NORSE ONE, NORSE TWO and NORSE THREE. We reported achieving the anticipated safety and efficacy and positive proof-of-concept topline results from NORSE ONE, a clinical experience study, in August 2020. NORSE TWO is our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial comparing ONS-5010 to ranibizumab (LUCENTIS) that completed enrollment in July 2020. Topline results are expected in the third calendar quarter of 2021. NORSE THREE is an open-label safety study we conducted to ensure the adequate number of safety exposures to ONS-5010 are available for the initial ONS-5010 Biologics License Application, or BLA, filing with the FDA. In March 2021 we reported that the results NORSE THREE provided a positive safety profile for ONS-5010. Accordingly, all three of these clinical trials required for our planned BLA submission in the first quarter of calendar 2022 for wet AMD have either been completed or are fully enrolled.

In addition, we have received agreements from the FDA on three Special Protocol Assessments, or SPAs, for three additional registration clinical trials for our ongoing Phase 3 program for ONS-5010. These SPAs cover the protocols for NORSE FOUR, a registration clinical trial evaluating ONS-5010 to treat BRVO, and NORSE FIVE and NORSE SIX, two

registration clinical trials to evaluate ONS-5010 to treat DME. We intend to initiate these studies in 2021 after the completion of NORSE TWO.

Currently, the cancer drug Avastin (bevacizumab) is used off-label for the treatment of wet AMD and other retinal diseases such as DME and BRVO even though Avastin has not been approved by regulatory authorities for use in these diseases. Off-label use of unapproved bevacizumab is currently estimated to account for at least 50% of all wet AMD treatments in the United States each year. If the ONS-5010 clinical program is successful, it will support our plans to submit for regulatory approval in multiple markets including the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Japan, as well as other markets. Because there are no approved bevacizumab products for the treatment of retinal diseases in such major markets, we are developing ONS-5010 as a standard BLA and not using the biosimilar drug development pathway that would be required if Avastin were an approved drug for the targeted diseases. If approved, we believe ONS-5010 has potential to mitigate risks associated with off-label use of unapproved bevacizumab.

Going Concern

Through March 31, 2021, we have funded substantially all of our operations with $331.9 million in proceeds from the sale and issuance of our equity and debt securities. We have also received $29.0 million pursuant to our previous collaboration and licensing agreements.

In February 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of our common stock for net proceeds of $36.0 million. We also entered into a securities purchase agreement with Syntone Ventures LLC, or Syntone Ventures, for the sale of an additional $3.0 million of shares which concurrent private placement closed in February 2021. Following partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, in a separate concurrent private placement, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with GMS Ventures and Investments, or GMS Ventures, an affiliate of BioLexis Pte. Ltd., our largest stockholder, for additional proceeds of $1.0 million.

In February 2021, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,641,507 shares of common stock with a weighted averaged exercise price of $0.9847 were exercised for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.6 million.

Our current cash resources of $37.2 million as of March 31, 2021, are expected to fund our operations through November 2021. If we are not successful in raising additional capital or entering into one or more licensing and/or co-development rights agreements for ONS-5010, we may be required to, among other things, modify our clinical trial plans for ONS-5010 in additional indications, make reductions in our workforce, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

We do not have any products approved for sale and we have only generated revenue from our collaboration agreements. We have incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception and there is no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations, and if achieved, that profitable operations will be sustained. Our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2021 was $27.6 million. In addition, development activities, clinical and preclinical testing and commercialization of our product candidates will require significant additional financing.

We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2021, we had substantial indebtedness that included $10.5 million of principal and accrued interest under an unsecured promissory note maturing on January 1, 2022, and $0.9 million loan granted pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, which matures on May 2, 2022. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our planned future operations, commence clinical trials, receive approval for and commercialize ONS-5010, or to develop other product candidates. We plan to finance our future operations with a combination of proceeds from potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, the issuance of equity securities, and the issuance of additional debt, potential collaborations and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of ONS-5010 or any other current or future product candidates. If we are unable to secure adequate additional funding, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, which has resulted in travel and other restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease. To date, we have experienced only minor disruptions from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including a brief delay in March 2020 in patient enrollment and recruitment in NORSE TWO due to local clinical trial site protocols designed to protect staff and patients. Given our current infrastructure needs and current strategy, we were able to transition to remote working with limited impact on productivity, as shelter-in-place and other types of local and state orders were imposed. We have confirmed with the Ophthalmic Division of the FDA that it considers both approved and investigational treatments for sight-threatening conditions such as wet AMD not to be elective, and that as such they should continue during the COVID-19 restrictions. All clinical and chemistry, manufacturing and control, or CMC, activities are currently active.

All three of our clinical trials have completed enrollment and NORSE ONE and NORSE THREE have also completed patient follow-up activities. NORSE TWO patients continue to require monthly follow-up visits, which will continue over the next three months. To date, we have not experienced any significant COVID-19 disruptions to patient follow-up but the clinical trial protocol accounts for potential delayed or missed visits for any reason, including COVID-19 type interruptions. The FDA has provided guidance in the event of COVID-19 disruptions and we intend to confer with the FDA and follow the appropriate guidance in the event that NORSE TWO experiences an unusually high number of delayed or missed patient visits due to COVID-19.

The safety, health and well-being of all patients, medical staff and our internal and external teams is paramount and is our primary focus. As shelter-in-place rules evolve in jurisdictions across the country, we are aware that the potential exists for further disruptions to our projected timelines. We are in close communication with our clinical teams and key vendors and are prepared to take action should the pandemic worsen and impact our business in the future.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of any impacts the evolving COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business, operations, financial position and our clinical and regulatory activities. To the extent the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affect our business and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 that we filed with the SEC on December 23, 2020 and amended January 28, 2021.

Collaboration, License and Strategic Partnership Agreements

From time to time, we enter into collaboration and license agreements for the research and development, manufacture and/or commercialization of our products and/or product candidates. These agreements generally provide for non-refundable upfront license fees, development and commercial performance milestone payments, cost sharing, royalty payments and/or profit sharing. We have also licensed rights to our inactive biosimilar program product candidates (ONS-3010, ONS-1045 and ONS-1050) in other markets.

In May 2020, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Syntone Ventures’ People’s Republic of China, or PRC, based-affiliate, pursuant to which we agreed to form a PRC joint venture, Syntone Biopharma Ltd, that is 80% owned by Syntone Ventures’ PRC-affiliate and 20% owned by us. Upon formation of the PRC joint venture in April 2021, we entered into a royalty-free license with the PRC joint venture for the development, commercialization and manufacture of ONS-5010 in the greater China market, which includes Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau.

We used approximately $0.9 million of the proceeds from the May 2020 private placement to Syntone Ventures to fund our initial capital contribution to the PRC joint venture, and expect to be required to make an additional capital contribution to the PRC joint venture of approximately $2.1 million within the next four years.

Selexis SA

In April 2013 we entered into three commercial license agreements with Selexis S.A., or Selexis, for a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide commercial license under the Selexis technology to manufacture, or have manufactured, a

Table of Contents

recombinant protein produced by a cell line developed using the Selexis technology for clinical testing and commercial sale for our legacy biosimilar product candidates ONS-3010, ONS-1045 (which covers ONS-5010) and ONS-1050 product candidates. We paid an upfront licensing fee to Selexis for each commercial license and also agreed to pay a fixed milestone payment for each licensed product. In addition, we are required to pay a single-digit royalty on a final product-by-final product and country-by-country basis, based on worldwide net sales of such final products by us or any of our affiliates or sub-licensees during the royalty term. At any time during the term, we have the right to terminate our royalty payment obligation by providing written notice to Selexis and paying Selexis a royalty termination fee. The initiation of our Phase 3 clinical program for ONS-5010 triggered a CHF 65,000 (approximately $0.1 million) milestone payment under the commercial license agreement, which we paid in November 2019. As of March 31, 2021, we have paid Selexis an aggregate of approximately $0.4 million under the commercial license agreements.

Components of our Results of Operations

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:

●

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

●

expenses incurred by us directly, as well as under agreements with contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, for manufacturing scale-up expenses and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials and commercial materials, including manufacturing validation batches;

●

outsourced professional scientific development services;

●

employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;

●

payments made under a third-party assignment agreement, under which we acquired intellectual property;

●

expenses relating to regulatory activities, including filing fees paid to regulatory agencies;

●

laboratory materials and supplies used to support our research activities; and

●

allocated expenses, utilities and other facility-related costs.

The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from any of our other product candidates. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the duration and cost of clinical trials, which vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of many factors, including:

●

the number of clinical sites included in the trials;

●

the length of time required to enroll suitable patients;

●

the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trials;

●

the number of doses patients receive;

●

the duration of patient follow-up;

●

the results of our clinical trials;

●

the establishment of commercial manufacturing capabilities;

●

the receipt of marketing approvals; and

●

the commercialization of product candidates.

Our expenditures are subject to additional uncertainties, including the terms and timing of regulatory approvals. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our product candidates. We may obtain unexpected results from our clinical trials. We may elect to discontinue, delay or modify clinical trials of some product candidates or focus on others. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or other regulatory authorities were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment and follow-up in any

Table of Contents

of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. Product commercialization will take several years and millions of dollars in development costs.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size, complexity and duration of later-stage clinical trials.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, administrative, finance and legal functions, including stock-based compensation, travel expenses and recruiting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include facility related costs, patent filing and prosecution costs and professional fees for business development, legal, auditing and tax services and insurance costs.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase if and when we believe a regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, and we anticipate an increase in payroll and expense as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, particularly as it relates to the sales and marketing of our product.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of cash paid and non-cash interest expense related to our senior secured notes, and unsecured notes with current and former stockholders, unsecured promissory note, equipment loans, finance leases and other finance obligations.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt consists of modifications to senior secured notes that are deemed to be substantially different from the existing notes and the exchange of senior secured notes for our shares of common stock.

Change in Fair Value of Redemption Feature

Change in fair value of the redemption feature reflects the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative contained in the senior secured notes issued in December 2019, as a result of the fact that such notes were convertible into a variable number of shares of our common stock and at a discount that is deemed to be substantial. This embedded derivative was recorded at fair value and was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until our obligations under the senior secured notes were satisfied.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Warrants to purchase our common stock that were issued in conjunction with the convertible senior secured notes originally issued December 2017 are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and we recognize any change in fair value in our statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Since inception, we have not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefits (excluding the sale of New Jersey state net operating losses, or NOLs, and research and development, or R&D tax credits) for the net losses we have incurred in each year or on our earned R&D tax credits, due to our uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. As of September 30, 2020, we had federal and state NOL carryforwards of $236.5 million and $72.3 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2030 and 2038, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, we had federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $2.4 million available to reduce future tax liabilities, which begin to expire starting in 2023. As of September 30, 2020, we also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $6.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2032 and 2033, respectively.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. We have

Table of Contents

not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred in the past. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and if we undergo an ownership change, our ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Our NOLs are also subject to international regulations, which could restrict our ability to utilize our NOLs. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.

Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses by type for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:


	Three months ended March 31,

Facilities, fees and other related costs		1,398,674		999,256
Total general and administrative expenses	$	4,095,891	$	1,957,175

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $2.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in compensation and related benefits, including stock-based compensation, due to stock options granted in fiscal 2021 to employees and directors, combined with a reversal of previously accrued compensation cost in the prior year period, a $0.8 million increase in professional fees, primarily related to licensing efforts for ONS-5010 during the period, and $0.6 million in litigation settlement related costs included in facilities, fees and other costs.

Impairment of Property and Equipment

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million primarily due to the write-off of assets held for sale after we determined that the carrying amount of these assets was not recoverable as result of the May 2020 termination of our remaining lease for office, manufacturing and laboratory space in Cranbury, New Jersey and relocation of our corporate headquarters to our former warehouse space in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a loss of $0.2 million related to an increase in the fair value of our common stock warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes originally issued December 2017 which resulted from an increase in the price of our common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the change in fair value of our common stock warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes originally issued December 2017 was immaterial.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to termination of the finance lease for our former corporate offices in Cranbury, New Jersey and the reduction of outstanding principal amount of notes and other indebtedness due to exchanges of such indebtedness for shares of our common stock in 2020.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $10.2 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in ONS-5010 development costs of $9.9 million as we initiated enrollment and completed our NORSE THREE clinical trial in fiscal 2021, and continued the necessary process characterization and manufacturing scale up activities with external partners to support our planned BLA filing for wet AMD.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $2.0 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was due to a $1.3 million increase in stock-based compensation due to stock options granted in fiscal 2021 to employees and directors, a $1.2 million increase in professional fees, which was

Table of Contents

primarily related to licensing efforts for ONS-5010 during the period, and $0.6 million in litigation settlement related costs included in facilities, fees and other costs, which increases were partially offset by decreased rent expenses of $0.5 million and a $0.6 million gain recorded from a settlement of a lease termination obligation associated with our terminated lease for an unutilized office and laboratory space in Cranbury, New Jersey.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.9 million to $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the termination of the finance lease for our former corporate offices in Cranbury, New Jersey and the reduction of outstanding principal amount of notes and other indebtedness due to exchanges of such indebtedness for shares of our common stock in 2020.

Debt Extinguishment

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of $8.1 million in connection with the exchange of our old senior secured notes for new senior secured notes in December 2019. The new senior secured notes were considered substantially different from the old notes, as such they qualified for extinguishment accounting.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a loss of $0.3 million related to an increase in the fair value of our common stock warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes originally issued December 2017 which resulted from an increase in the price of our common stock.

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a gain of $0.2 million related to the decrease in the fair value of our common stock warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes originally issued December 2017 which resulted from a decrease in the price of our common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have not generated any revenue from product sales. Since inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Through March 31, 2021, we have funded substantially all of our operations through the receipt of $331.9 million net proceeds from the issuance of our equity securities, debt securities and borrowings under debt facilities. We have also received an aggregate of $29.0 million pursuant to emerging markets collaboration and licensing agreements for our inactive biosimilar development programs.

In November 2020, we received $10.0 million in net proceeds from issuance of an unsecured promissory note with face amount of $10.2 million. The note bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and matures January 1, 2022. We may prepay all or a portion of the note at any time by paying 105% of the outstanding balance elected for pre-payment.

In February 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of our common stock for net proceeds of $36.0 million. We also entered into a securities purchase agreement with Syntone Ventures, for the sale of an additional $3.0 million of shares which concurrent private placement closed in February 2021. Following partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, in a separate concurrent private placement, we issued an additional $1.0 million of shares of common stock to GMS Ventures at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

In February 2021, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,641,507 shares of common stock with a weighted averaged exercise price of $0.9847 were exercised for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.6 million.

As of March 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $37.2 million. In addition, we had substantial indebtedness that included $10.5 million of principal and accrued interest under an unsecured promissory note maturing on January 1, 2022, and a $0.9 million loan granted pursuant to the PPP of the CARES Act, which matures on May 2, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant sales of ONS-5010 or any other product candidate we may develop. We will

Table of Contents

need substantial additional financing to fund our operations and to commercially develop ONS-5010 or any other product candidate we may develop. Management is currently evaluating various strategic opportunities to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include but are not limited to a combination of proceeds from potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, the issuance of equity securities, and the issuance of additional debt, potential collaborations and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful. Alternatively, we will be required to, among other things, make further reductions in our workforce, scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Our future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above, (ii) our ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, (iii) the success of our research and development, (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately, (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of our proposed future products..

Funding Requirements

We plan to focus in the near term on advancing ONS-5010 through clinical trials to support the filing of a BLA with the FDA to support the generation of commercial revenues. We anticipate we will incur net losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We may not be able to complete the development and initiate commercialization of ONS-5010 if, among other things, our clinical trials are not successful or if the FDA does not approve our application arising out of our current clinical trials when we expect, or at all, or if we are not able to enter into a licensing deal for ONS-5010 providing for sufficient funding of our expected development costs and we are unable to obtain such funding elsewhere.

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, manufacturing and facility costs, external research and development services, laboratory and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, and administrative and overhead costs. Our future funding requirements will be heavily determined by the resources needed to support development of our lead product candidate and any other product candidates we may choose to pursue.

We believe our existing cash as of March 31, 2021 of $37.2 million is expected to fund our operations through November 2021. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to complete our planned ONS-5010 development program. We plan to finance our future operations with a combination of proceeds from potential strategic collaborations, sale of the development and commercial rights to our drug product candidates, the issuance of equity securities, the issuance of additional debt, and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of our common stock. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of ONS-5010 or any other current or future product candidates. Alternatively, we will be required to, among other things, modify our clinical trial plans for ONS-5010 in additional indications, make reductions in our workforce, scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Operating Activities.

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we used $25.1 million of cash in operating activities resulting primarily from our net loss of $27.6 million. This use of cash was partially offset by $2.6 million of non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, change in fair value of warrant liability, gain on settlement of lease termination obligation, and depreciation and amortization expense. The net cash outflow of $0.1 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily to an increase in our accounts payable of $3.7 million primarily due to clinical trial costs and ONS 5010 development costs and a decrease in other assets of $0.1 million. These inflows were partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $2.5 million primarily due to the settlement of lease termination obligation and payments to sites for accrued costs, $0.1 million of payments for operating leases, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $1.3 million for prepayments associated with our clinical trials and ONS 5010 development costs.

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, we used $13.8 million of cash in operating activities resulting primarily from our net loss of $22.3 million, This use of cash was partially offset by $7.6 million of non-cash items such as change in fair value of redemption feature, non-cash interest expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on disposal of property and equipment, loss on extinguishment of debt and depreciation and amortization expense. The change in our operating assets and liabilities of $0.9 million was primarily to an increase in our accounts payable associated with our clinical trials and ONS 5010 development costs from September 30, 2019.

Financing Activities.

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $49.7 million, primarily attributable to $39.8 million in net proceeds from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placements in February 2021 for an aggregate of 42,607,394 shares of our common stock and accompanying 2,116,364 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and $10.0 million in net proceeds from issuance of an unsecured promissory note with face amount of $10.2 million in November 2020. Additionally, we received $3.6 million in net proceeds from common stock warrants exercised. We also made $3.7 million in debt and finance lease obligations payments.

During the six months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $10.4 million, primarily attributable to $9.5 million in net proceeds from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placements in February 2020 for an aggregate of 10,059,056 shares of our common stock and accompanying 5,029,528 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, we received $1.1 million in net proceeds from common stock warrants exercised. We also made $0.2 million in debt and capital lease obligations payments.

Description of Indebtedness

In November 2020, we entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company pursuant to which we issued an unsecured promissory note in the original principal amount of $10,220,000 for $10,000,000 in cash proceeds. The unsecured note bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum compounding daily, matures January 1, 2022, and includes an original issue discount of $200,000, along with $20,000 for the noteholder’s fees, costs and other transaction expenses incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the note. We may prepay all or a portion of the unsecured note at any time by paying 105% of the outstanding balance elected for pre-payment.

While the unsecured note is outstanding, we agreed to keep adequate public information available, maintain our Nasdaq listing, and refrain from undertaking certain “Variable Security Issuances” without the noteholders’ consent, subject to certain limited exempt issuances, in addition to other negative covenants. The unsecured note provides that it is an event of default if we breach our negative covenants under the purchase agreement, undertake certain “Fundamental Transactions” (as defined therein), along with other customary events of default, in addition to providing for a default rate of 14%, and gives the noteholder the right to increase the outstanding balance by 5% in the event of default.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021.

The JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards when they are required to be adopted by public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Other than as described below, our management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On July 20, 2020, Laboratorios Liomont S.A. de C.V., or Liomont, filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York alleging certain breach of contract claims under our June 25, 2014 strategic development, license and supply agreement relating to the biosimilar development program for ONS-3010 and ONS-1045 claiming $3,000,000 in damages. On March 30, 2021, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement with Liomont and the complaint was dismissed on April 11, 2021. See Note 9 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financials included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for more information.
