The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of April 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $89,135,302 and incurred a net loss for year ended April 30, 2017 of $4,443,685.

 

Over the past year, funding was provided by investors to maintain and expand the Company. The remaining challenges, beyond the regulatory and clinical aspects, include accessing funding for the Company to cover its future cash flow needs. Over the past year, the Company continued to acquire funds through the Company’s S-3 Registration Statement pursuant to which the placement agent sells shares of common stock “at-the-market” in a program which is structured to provide up to $50 million dollars to the Company less certain commissions. The Company may continue to sell securities under its current S-3 Registration Statement for a period of three years from the original prospectus date, October 28, 2014. There is a grace period of an additional 180 days following the 3-year anniversary, making the expiration date April 26, 2018.

 

The Company requires substantial additional capital to finance its planned business operations and expects to incur operating losses in future periods due to the expenses related to the Company’s core businesses. The Company has not realized any revenue since it commenced doing business in the biotechnology sector, and there can be no assurance that it will be successful in generating revenues in the future in this sector. From May 1, 2017 through July 26, 2017; the Company raised additional capital of approximately $1.9 million in “at-the-market” transactions.

 

The Company believes its cash on hand at April 30, 2017, the ability to use the S-3 to raise capital through at-the-market sales and block trades, sales of registered and unregistered shares of its common stock and any public offerings of common stock in which the Company may engage in will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s capital requirements and to fund the Company’s operations through July 31, 2018.

 

The Company will continue to be dependent on outside capital to fund its research and operating expenditures for the foreseeable future. If the Company fails to generate positive cash flows or fails to obtain additional capital when required, the Company may need to modify, delay or abandon some or all its business plans.
