Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

OncoSec Medical Incorporated (together with its subsidiary, unless the context indicates otherwise, being collectively referred to as the “Company”) began its operations as a biotechnology company in March 2011. The Company has not generated any revenues since its inception. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 8, 2008 under the name of Netventory Solutions, Inc. and changed its name in March 2011 when it began operating as a biotechnology company.

The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative therapies and proprietary medical approaches to stimulate and guide an anti-tumor immune response for the treatment of cancer. Its core technology platform, technology, ImmunoPulse®, is a drug-device therapeutic modality comprised of a proprietary intratumoral electroporation (“EP”) delivery device.devices (the “OncoSec Medical System (“OMS”) Electroporation device” or “OMS EP device”). The ImmunoPulse® platformOMS EP device is designed to deliver plasmid DNA-encoded drugs directly into a solid tumor and promote an immunological response against cancer. The ImmunoPulse®OMS EP device can be adapted to treat different tumor types, and consists of an electrical pulse generator, a reusable handle and disposable applicators. The Company’s lead product candidate is a DNA-encoded interleukin-12 (“IL-12”), called tavokinogene telseplasmid (“TAVO”). The ImmunoPulse®OMS EP platformdevice is used to deliver TAVO intratumorally, with the aim of reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the treated tumor. The activation of the appropriate inflammatory response can drive a systemic anti-tumor response against untreated tumors in other parts of the body. In 2017, the Company received Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for TAVO in metastatic melanoma, which could qualify TAVO for expedited FDA review, a rolling Biologics License Application (“BLA”) review and certain other benefits.

 

The Company’s currentprimary focus is to pursue its studyclinical trials of TAVO in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in anti-PD-1 checkpoint refractory metastatic melanoma and metastatic triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”).

 

The Company’s KEYNOTE-695 study targets melanoma patients who are definitive anti-PD-1 non-responders. In May 2017, the Companywe entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”) in connection with the KEYNOTE-695 study. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, both companies will bear their own costs related to manufacturing and supply of their product, as well as be responsible for their own internal costs. The Company is the study sponsor and is responsible for external costs. The KEYNOTE-695 study is fully enrolled and currently enrollingtreating patients. This study is a registration-directed, Phase 2b open-label, single-arm, multicenter study in approximately 100 patients of TAVO in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in anti-PD-1 checkpoint refractory (either nivolumab or pembrolizumab) metastatic melanoma being conducted in the United States, Canada, Australia and treatingEurope. The Company provided interim preliminary data from this study at the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) in November 2020. In December 2020, the protocol was amended to include an additional cohort, consisting of patients who progressed on prior treatment of both ipilimumab and is expected to complete enrollment in 2020.nivolumab.

 

In May 2018, the Company entered into a second clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck with respect to a Phase 2 study of TAVO in combination with KEYTRUDA® to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination in patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC, who have previously failed at least one systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy. This study is referred to as KEYNOTE-890.KEYNOTE-890, Cohort 1. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, both companies will bear their own costs related to manufacturing and supply of their product, as well as be responsible for their own internal costs. The Company is the study sponsor and is responsible for external costs. The KEYNOTE-890 study, Cohort 1 final patient treatment was completed in December 2020. The Company completed enrollment is complete,in fourth quarter 2019 and the Company provided interim preliminary data from this study at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (“SABCS”) in December 2019.2019 and December 2020. The study is a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm, multicenter study in the United States and Australia.

 

OMS-131In June 2020, the Company amended its second clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck to include another Phase 2 study of TAVO in combination with KEYTRUDA® plus chemotherapy to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination in patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC. This study is referred to as KEYNOTE-890, Cohort 2. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, both companies will bear their own costs related to manufacturing and supply of their product, as well as be responsible for their own internal costs. The Company is the study sponsor and is responsible for external costs. The KEYNOTE-890, Cohort 2 study began enrolling patients in January of 2021. The Company expects to complete enrollment within fifteen months from the start of enrollment and expects to provide interim preliminary data from this study at a future medical conference. The study is a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm, multicenter study in the United States and Australia.

In August 2020, the Company commenced an investigator-initiated Phase 2 study conducted by the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute and the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine to evaluate TAVO™ as neoadjuvant treatment (administered before surgery) in combination with intravenous OPDIVO®(nivolumab) in up to 33 patients with operable locally/regionally advanced melanoma. This investigator-initiated Phase 2 study has been designed to evaluate whether the addition of TAVO can increase the anti-tumor response observed with monotherapy OPDIVO®, an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, in patients with locally/regionally advanced melanoma prior to surgical resection of tumors. This study began enrolling patients in December of 2020 and is expected to complete enrollment within eighteen months of the start of enrollment.

In November 2020, the Company exclusively licensed rights to the Cliniporator® electroporation gene electrotransfer platform from IGEA Clinical Biophysics. The license encompasses a broad field of use for gene delivery in oncology, including use as part of the Company’s visceral lesion applicator (“VLA”) program. This platform has been used for electrochemotherapy in and outside of Europe in over 200 major oncological centers to treat cutaneous metastatic cancer nodules, including melanoma.

In April 2020, the Company announced that Providence Cancer Institute, a part of Providence St. Joseph Health (“Providence”), is pursuing a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of OncoSec’s novel DNA-encodable, investigational vaccine, CORVax12, which is designed to act as a prophylactic vaccine to prevent COVID-19. CORVax12 consists of the Company’s existing product candidate, TAVO™, in combination with an immunogenic component of the SARS-CoV-2 virus developed by researchers at NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”).  Providence investigators filed and received an Investigator-Initiated Investigational New Drug (“IND”) Application; however, at this time, Providence does not intend to continue further enrollment in this study.

In May 2019, the Company commenced an investigator-initiated Phase 1 clinical trial conducted by the University of California San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.Center (“OMS-131”). This study targets patients with squamous cell carcinoma head and neck (“SCCHN”)Squamous Cell Carcinoma Head & Neck Cancer and is a single-arm open-label clinical trial in which 35 evaluable patients will receive TAVO, KEYTRUDA® and epacadostat. OMS-131 is currently enrolling and treating patients.patients and is expected to complete enrollment within the next eighteen months.

 

In June 2019, the Company entered into a collaboration with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (“DFCI”), a world-leading cancer research and treatment institution, and The Marasco Laboratory, a cutting-edge CAR T-cell research laboratory led by Wayne Marasco, M.D., Ph.D., a renowned cancer immunology researcher, to develop CAR T-cell therapies for triple-negative breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

9

The Company intends to continue to pursue other ongoing or potential new trials and studies related to TAVO, in various tumor types. In addition, the Company is also developing its next-generation EP device and applicator, including advancements toward prototypes, pursuing discovery research to identify other product candidates that, in addition to IL-12, can be encoded into propriety plasmid-DNA and delivered intratumorally using EP. Specifically, the Company iswe are developing a new, propriety technology to potentially treat liver, lung, bladder, pancreatic and other difficult to treat visceral lesions through the direct delivery of plasmid-based IL-12 with a new Visceral Lesions Applicator (“VLA”).VLA.

 

The new VLA has been designed to work with low voltage EP generators, including but not limited to the Company’s recently announcedproprietary APOLLOTM EP generator APOLLO, and Cliniporator® to leverage plasmid-optimized EP enhancingand enhance the depth and frequency of transfection of immunologically relevant genes into cells located in deep visceral lesions. Using itsorgans. In early 2020, the Company had two poster presentations, one at the Society for Interventional Oncology (“SIO”) and one at the Society for Interventional Radiology, where it presented preclinical data on both the new VLA and APOLLO generator. Additionally, the Company has successfully completed several large animal studies and aim to bring the new VLA into the clinic in 2021. By using the Company’s next-generation technology with the new VLA (and in cutaneous/subcutaneous settings as well), the Company’s goal is to reverse the immunosuppressive mechanisms of a tumor, as well as to expand itsthe Company’s pipeline. The Company believes that the flexibility of itsthe Company’s propriety plasmid-DNA technology allows the Company to deliver other immunologically relevant molecules into the tumor microenvironment in addition to the delivery of plasmid-DNA encoding for IL-12. In June 2020, the Company had two poster presentations at the 2020 America Association for Cancer Research (“AACR”) where the Company presented pre-clinical data regarding its new anti-tumor product candidate, which will amplify the power of intratumoral IL-12 through the addition of both CXCL9, a critical T cell chemokine, and anti-CD3, a membrane bound pan T cell stimulator. These other immunologically relevant molecules may complement IL-12’s activity by limiting or enhancing key pathways associated with tumor immune subversion.

The Company has established a collaboration with Emerge Health Pty (“Emerge”), athe leading Australian company providing full registration, reimbursement, sales, marketing and distribution services of therapeutic products in Australia and New Zealand, to commercialize TAVO and makemade it available under Australia’s Special Access Scheme (“SAS”). early in calendar year 2020. As a specialized Australian pharmaceutical company focused on the marketing and sales of high-quality medicines to the hospital sector, Emerge has previously made numerous other products successfully available under Australia’s SAS.

Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include stock-based compensation, accountingthe accrual of research, product development and clinical obligations, impairment of long-lived assets, determining the Incremental Borrowing Rate for long-livedcalculating Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities and accounting for income taxes, including the related valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset and uncertain tax positions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that they appropriately reflect changes in the business or as new information becomes available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in a single industry segment—the discovery and development of novel immunotherapeutic product candidates to improve treatment options for patients and physicians, intended to treat a wide range of oncology indications.

Intangible Assets

Definite life intangible assets include a license. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. License agreements cost represent the fair value of the license agreement on the date acquired. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The assets are considered to be impaired if the Company determines that the carrying value may not be recoverable based upon its assessment, which includes consideration of the following events or changes in circumstances:

 

 the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods;
   
 loss of legal ownership or title to the asset(s);
   
 significant changes in the Company’s strategic business objectives and utilization of the asset(s); and
   
 the impact of significant negative industry or economic trends.

11

If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined by the application of discounted cash flow models to project cash flows from the assets. In addition, the Company bases estimates of the useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense on its subjective estimate of the period the assets will generate revenue or otherwise be used by it. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less selling costs. The Company also periodically reviews the lives assigned to long-lived assets to ensure that the initial estimates do not exceed any revised estimated periods from which the Company expects to realize cash flows from its assets.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for internal projects, as well as partner-funded collaborative research and development activities. These costs include direct and research-related overhead expenses, which include salaries, stock-based compensation and other personnel-related expenses, facility costs, supplies, depreciation of facilities and laboratory equipment, as well as research consultants and the cost of funding research at universities and other research institutions, and are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire technologies that are utilized in research and development that have no alternative future use, are expensed when incurred.

Accruals for Research and Development Expenses and Clinical Trials

The Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company accounts for these expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company determines accrual estimates through financial models and takes into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where expressly disclosed.

 

The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

 Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
   
 Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
   
 Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer.management.

 

Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

The Company had no assets or liabilities that required remeasurement on a recurring basis as of January 31, 20202021 and July 31, 2019.2020.

 

12

Warrants

 

The Company assesses its warrants as either equity or a liability based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s balance sheet and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities and other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at their fair value on the date of issuance and are re-measured on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. Management estimates the fair value of these liabilities using option pricing models and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or other instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield and risk-free interest rate. As of January 31, 2020,2021, and July 31, 2019,2020, all outstanding warrants issued by the Company were classified as equity.

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing the applicable net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the applicable net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus additional shares to account for the dilutive effect of potential future issuances of common stock relating to stock options and other potentially dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

 

The Company did not include shares underlying stock options, restricted stock units and warrants issued and outstanding during any of the periods presented in the computation of net loss per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from diluted net loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect:

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company grants equity-based awards (typically stock options or restricted stock units) under its stock-based compensation plan and outside of its stock-based compensation plan, with terms generally similar to the terms under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. For employees, directors and consultants, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including price volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and expected life of the option. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock unit awards based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

 

13

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Employees may elect to participate in the Company’s stockholder-approved employee stock purchase plan. The stock purchase plan allows for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at not less than 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the beginning date of the offering period orand (ii) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the purchase date of the offering period, subject to a share and dollar limit as defined in the plan and subject to the applicable legal requirements. There are two six-month offering periods during each fiscal year, ending on January 31 and July 31.

 

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of awards under the stock purchase plan is calculated at the beginning of each offering period. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including price volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and the offering period. This fair value is then amortized at the beginning of the offering period. Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards expected to be purchased at the beginning of the offering period, and therefore is reduced when participants withdraw during the offering period.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using ourthe Company’s incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and exclude any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all its leases.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as the reporting currency for its financial statements. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. The functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is the Australian dollar.

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” a separate component of stockholders’ equity, and in the “Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents,” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Transaction gains and losses including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in “Foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

15

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company’s subsidiary in Australia and is excluded from the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

14

Australia Research and Development Tax Credit

 

The Company’s wholly-owned Australian subsidiary incurs research and development expenses, primarily in the course of conducting clinical trials. The Company’s Australian research and development activities qualify for the Australian government’s tax credit program, which provides a 41% credit for qualifying research and development expenses. The tax credit does not depend on the Company’s generation of future taxable income or ongoing tax status or position. Accordingly, the credit is not considered an element of income tax accounting under ASC 740“Income Taxes”and is recorded against qualifying research and development expenses.

 

Tax Reform

 

On March 27, 2020, the president signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) providing nearly $2 trillion in economic relief to eligible businesses impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. The Tax Cuts and JobsCARES Act, (the “Act”) was enacted in December 2017. Amongamong other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer social security payments, net operating loss (“NOL”) utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. In addition to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan received in April 2020 (See Note 5), the Company continues to review, and may seek, any other available and appropriate potential benefits under the CARES Act reducedas well as any future legislation signed into law during 2021. Other than the U.S. federal corporate tax rateproceeds from 34 percent to 21 percent as of January 1, 2018 and eliminated the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for corporations. SinceSBA loan, the deferred tax assets are expected to reverse in a future year, it has been tax effected using the 21% federal corporate tax rate. The effects of the 2017 TaxCARES Act did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended January 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016,August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.

Consequently, prior period balances and disclosuresimpact that this new guidance will have not been restated.

ASC 842 provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. For leases that commenced prior to August 1, 2019, the Company elected: (1) the “package of practical expedients”, which permits it not to reassess under the new standardon its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, and (2) the use-of-hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of ROU assets. In addition, ASC 842 provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting that the Company has elected, comprised of the following: (1) the election for classes of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and (2) the election for short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.

Note 3— Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company has sustained losses in all reporting periods since inception, with an inception-to-date loss of $187.8 million as of January 31, 2020, which raises substantial doubt. Further, the Company has neverCompany’s products are being developed and have not generated any cash from its operations and does not expect to generate meaningful cash in the near term. Consequently, the Company will need additional capital to continue operating its business and fund its planned operations, including research and development, clinical trials and, if regulatory approval is obtained, commercialization of its product candidates. In addition, the Company will require additional financing if it desires to in-license or acquire new assets, research and develop new compounds or new technologies and pursue related patent protection, or obtain any other intellectual property rights or other assets.

As of January 31, 2020,2021, the Company had approximately $60.3 million in cash and cash equivalents of $9.3 million, which consisted of cash of $1.3 million and cash equivalents of $8.0 million. Since inception, cash flows from financing activities has been the primary source of the Company’s liquidity.on its balance sheet. The Company currently estimates its monthly working capital requirements to be approximately $2.5 million, although the Company may modify or deviate from this estimate and it is likely that the Company’s actual operating expenses and working capital requirements will vary from its estimate.

Subsequent to January 31, 2020, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $30.0 million from the sale of its common stock. The net proceeds, after deducting offering fees and expenses paid by us, were approximately $28.0 million (see Note 11). In addition, the Company received approximately $0.9 million as part of the Australian government’s research and development tax credit program.

The above financing activities substantially increased the Company’s cash position. As a result, as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company believes its current cash position as a resultis sufficient to fund its business plan into approximately the third calendar quarter of 2022. The estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use available capital resources sooner than currently expected.

Modification of Stock Option Awards

 

During the six months ended January 31, 2021, the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of 791,019 and 91,666 previously granted time-vesting awards for employees and directors, respectively.

Upon modification, it is required under ASC 718 to analyze the fair value of the instruments, before and after the modification, recognizing additional compensation cost for any incremental value. The Company computed the fair value of the award immediately prior to the modification and compared the fair value to that of the modified award. Since the value of the awards were less after the modification as compared to immediately prior to the modification, no additional compensation expense was recorded.

During the six months ended January 31, 2020, the Company cancelled 878,534 outstanding common stock option awards under the following terms:

 

 

The Company entered into Stock Option Cancellation Agreements (the “Cancellation Agreements”) with certain executive officers, directors and other senior level employees of the Company, pursuant to which such individuals (the “Senior Level Option holder”Holders”) agreed to the voluntary surrender and cancellation of certain previously granted stock options (the “Cancelled Options”) to purchase in the aggregate 699,140 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Cancellation Agreements, each Senior Level Option holderHolder and the Company acknowledged and agreed that the surrender and cancellation of the Cancelled Options was without any expectation on the part of theeach Senior Level Option holderHolder to receive, and without any obligation on the Company to pay or grant, any cash, equity awards or other consideration presently or in the future with respect to the Cancelled Options.

   
 The Company cancelled outstanding common stock options held by employees and consultants other than the Senior Level Option holders of the Company,Holders, pursuant to which such individuals were previously granted stock options to purchase in the aggregate 179,394 shares of the Company’s common stock, were cancelled for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $26,000.

 

The Company accounted for the effects of the stock option modifications described above under the guidance of ASC 718 as follows:

 

 A cancellation of an award that is not accompanied by the concurrent grant of (or offer to grant) a replacement award or other valuable consideration shall be accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. Accordingly, any previously unrecognized compensation is recognized at the cancellation date.
   
 The amount of cash paid to settle an equity-classified award is charged directly to equity as long as that amount is equal to or less than the fair-value-based measure of the award on the settlement date. To the extent that the settlement consideration exceeds the fair-value-based measure of the equity-classified award on the settlement date, that difference is recognized as additional compensation cost. The cash paid to settle employee and consultant equity-classified awards, other than the Senior Level Option holders,Holders, was less than the fair-value-based measure of the award on the settlement date. The approximately $26,000 in cash paid to settle the equity-classified awards was charged directly to additional paid in capital.

Following the cancellation of the outstanding stock option awards described above, there were 15,000 stock option awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan.

As such, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants. The service period is generally the vesting period, with the exception of stock options granted pursuant to a consulting agreement, in which case the stock option vesting period and the service period are defined pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement.

 

The following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes calculation of the fair value of stock-based compensation related to stock options granted during the periods presented:

The Company’s expected volatility is derived from the historical daily change in the market price of its common stock. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate the expected term of options issued to employees, non-employees and directors. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes calculation is based on the prevailing U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant, commensurate with the expected term. For the expected dividend yield used in the Black-Scholes calculation, the Company has never paid any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Under the Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), the Company is authorized to issue 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The sixthninth offering period under the ESPP ended on January 31, 2019,2021, with 1,428 shares purchased and distributed to employees, the seventh offering period under the ESPP ended on July 31, 2019, with 2,053 shares purchased and distributed to employees, and the eighth offering period under the ESPP ended on January 31, 2020, with 2,8411,538 shares purchased and distributed to employees. At January 31, 2020,2021, there were 34,76731,871 shares remaining available for issuance under the ESPP.

 

The ESPP is considered a Type B plan under FASB ASC Topic 718 because the number of shares a participant is permitted to purchase is not fixed based on the stock price at the beginning of the offering period and the expected withholdings. The ESPP enables the participant to “buy-up” to the plan’s share limit, if the stock price is lower on the purchase date. As a result, the fair value of the awards granted under the ESPP is calculated at the beginning of each offering period as the sum of:

 

 15% of the share price of an unvested share at the beginning of the offering period,
 85% of the fair market value of a six-month call on the unvested share aforementioned, and
 15% of the fair market value of a six-month put on the unvested share aforementioned.

 

The fair market value of the six-month call and six-month put are based on the Black-Scholes option valuation model. For the six-month offering period ended January 31, 2021, the following assumptions were used: six-month maturity, 0.1% risk free interest, 122.84% volatility, 0% forfeitures and $0 dividends. For the six-month offering period ended January 31, 2020, the following assumptions were used: six-month maturity, 2.04% risk free interest, 90.64% volatility, 0% forfeitures and $0 dividends. For the six-month offering period ended January 31, 2019, the following assumptions were used: six-month maturity, 2.22% risk free interest, 61.83% volatility, 0% forfeitures and $0 dividends.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies

 

In June 2019, Dana Farber Cancer Institute (“DFCI”) and OncoSec (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement (the “SRA”). On October 29, 2019,May 11, 2020, the Company’s stockholder, Alpha Holdings, Inc. (“Alpha”) filedSRA was terminated by DFCI, after a dispute arose between the parties. The Parties resolved the dispute through mediation and reached an agreement in principle. OncoSec agreed to pay DFCI a total of $900,000 in full and complete satisfaction of any and all claims that DFCI may have for reimbursement of expenses under the SRA in two civil actionsequal installments of $450,000, the first of which shall be due on December 7, 2020 and the second of which shall be due on or before March 31, 2021. As of January 31, 2021, the Company paid the first installment of $450,000 and has accrued $450,000 under the agreement, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at January 31, 2021 in the district court, Clark County, Nevada (the “District Court”), related to the proposed equity investment in the Company (the “Proposed Transaction”) by (i) Grand Decade Developments Limited (“Grand Decade”), a British Virgin Islands limited company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited (“CGP”) and (ii) Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of CGP (“Sirtex”). The first action, asserted against the Company only, sought to compel the Company to make its books and records available for inspection, so that Alpha could solicit proxies from other stockholders in connection with the vote to approve the Proposed Transaction. The second action, a putative class action asserted against the Company, certain directors on the OncoSec Board (the “Director Defendants”), Sirtex and Grand Decade, sought, among other things, a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Proposed Transaction and a special meeting of OncoSec’s shareholders seeking approval of the Proposed Transaction, based on claims that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by (i) failing to make complete and accurate disclosures concerning the Proposed Transaction, (ii) adopting improper defensive measures to preclude the Company from pursuing or receiving alternatives to the Proposed Transaction, and (iii) running an inadequate “sales process” that failed to obtain the highest value reasonably available. This second action also asserted a claim against Sirtex and CGP for aiding and abetting the Director Defendants’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On November 13, 2019, the two actions wereaccompanying condensed consolidated into a single proceeding, when the court so-ordered a joint stipulation filed by the parties. On February 6, 2020, the District Court judge denied Alpha’s motion for preliminary injunction in its entirety and allowed the special meeting of shareholders to take place on February 7, 2020. The Nevada Supreme Court then denied Alpha’s request for an emergency appeal. Alpha subsequently filed a stipulation dismissing the action with prejudice, which the District Court entered on March 5, 2020. Since Alpha’s cases were dismissed with prejudice, they cannot be relitigated and the Company has no liability to Alpha with matters addressed in these lawsuits.balance sheets.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which supersedes previous lease accounting guidance (Topic 840) and establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record an asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company does not have any material variable payments, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants for its leases and does not have any leases with terms of 12 months or less.Lease Agreements

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices and lab space. These leases have remaining lease terms of approximately one year to seven years, some of which include options to extend the lease.

Grand Decade Developments Limited, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited, a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“CGP”), and its affiliate, Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sirtex” and, together with CGP,) participated in the “Buyers”). On October 10, 2019, the Company and the Buyers entered into Stock Purchase Agreements (as amended, the “Purchase Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue tooffering. Each of CGP and Sirtex 10,000,000 shares and 2,000,000 shares, respectively,exercised its right of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of $30 million. The net proceeds, after deducting offering fees and expenses paid by us, were approximately $28.0 million. Upon Closing, CGP and Sirtex owned 43.95% and 8.79%, respectively,participation in future offerings in order to maintain respective ownership percentages of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.Company upon close.

 

Purchase Agreements

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, beginning on February 7,On August 19, 2020, and ending on the first anniversary thereof (the “Option Period”), the Company granted tocompleted the offer and sale of an aggregate of 4,608,589 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.25 per share in a registered direct offering (See Note 6). CGP an option to make an offer to acquireand Sirtex participated in the remainingregistered direct offering and maintained their respective ownership percentages of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company upon close.

Co-Promotion and Funded Research Agreement

In January 2021, the Company entered into a co-promotion agreement with Sirtex, pursuant to which the Company granted Sirtex the option to co-promote TAVO for the treatment of anti-PD-1 refractory locally advanced or metastatic melanoma in the U.S., including its territories and possessions. In consideration for the option, the Company received an upfront, non-refundable payment of $5.0 million from Sirtex (the “option fee”). The option to co-promote is non-exclusive and may be exercised at any time by Sirtex from the effective date until 90 days following the receipt by Sirtex of a purchase price per share equal to the greater of (a) $4.50 or (b) 110%complete copy of the last closing stock pricefinal BLA filed by the Company with the FDA (the “option period”). If Sirtex exercises the option, the Company will receive an additional non-refundable and non-creditable option exercise fee of $25.0 million, comprised of $20.0 million in cash, and $5.0 million for the issuance of common stock on the date prior to CGP delivering written notice to the Company of its intent to exercise such option along with a proposal on all other material terms. This purchase option does not create an obligation on the partshares of the Company determined by the average closing price of the stock for the 30 days prior to accept the date of receipt of the exercise notice for the option.

Under the terms of the co-promotion agreement, if Sirtex exercises the co-promote option, the Company will pay to Sirtex a high-teens to low-twenties royalty (“promotion fee”) of U.S. net sales of the TAVO products. The co-promotion agreement will continue until the earlier of the expiration of the option period without Sirtex extending the option or the eighth anniversary of the first FDA approval of the BLA, and can extended by mutual agreement between the Company and Sirtex. During the co-promotion term, the Company is responsible for funding approximately two-thirds of the promotional costs incurred by Sirtex and Sirtex shall be responsible for approximately one-third.

The Company has determined that the co-promotion agreement represents a funded research and development arrangement within the scope of ASC Subtopic 730-20, Research and Development—Research and Development Arrangements (ASC 730-20). The Company concluded that there has not been a substantive and genuine transfer of risk related to the co-promotion agreement and the Company’s ongoing development of TAVO as there is a presumption that the Company is obligated to repay Sirtex based on the significant related party relationship that exists between the parties. This significant related party relationship is based on Sirtex’s approximate 8% ownership of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and that of its significant equity holder, CGP (which owns 49% of Sirtex), which owns approximately 42% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and is the Company’s largest shareholder.

The Company has determined that the appropriate accounting treatment under ASC 730-20 is to record any proceeds received from Sirtex for the co-promote option or upon exercise of the option nor does it prevent any interested third parties from making offers to acquire shares of the Company. Additionally, the shares are subject to a lock-up provision restricting the sale or disposition of the shares for a period of six months following the Closingas cash and a standstill provision prohibiting certain actions by CGP and Sirtex during the Option Period. In addition, upon the Closing, the Stockholder Agreements and Registration Rights Agreements betweencash equivalents as the Company has the ability to direct the usage of funds, and each of CGP andas a corresponding long-term liability (“Liability under co-promotion agreement – related party”) on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet when received. The liability will remain on the balance sheet until (i) Sirtex were effective (all described further below). The Company’s Special Committee will be responsible forexercises the evaluation of any such future offeroption which results in royalties paid by CGP.

The Purchase Agreements include customary covenants that obligate the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to causeSirtex based on the purchased shares to be approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market,net sales of the TAVO products, or (ii) Sirtex does not exercise the option and a contractual anti-dilution mechanism that accounts for the Company’s outstanding options and warrants, as well as other customary covenants.

Overview

 

We are a late-stage biotechnology company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative therapies and proprietary medical approaches to stimulate and to guide an anti-tumor immune response for the treatment of cancer. Our core technology platform, technology, ImmunoPulse®, is a drug-device therapeutic modality platform comprised of a proprietary intratumoral electroporation (“EP”) delivery, device.devices (the “OncoSec Medical System (OMS) Electroporation Device” or “OMS EP device”). The ImmunoPulse® platformOMS EP device is designed to deliver plasmid DNA-encoded drugs directly into a solid tumor and promote an immunological response against cancer. The ImmunoPulse®OMS EP device can be adapted to treat different tumor types, and consists of an electrical pulse generator, a reusable handle and disposable applicators. Our lead product candidate is a DNA-encoded interleukin-12 (“IL-12”), called tavokinogene telseplasmid (“TAVO”). The ImmunoPulse®OMS EP platformdevice is used to deliver TAVO intratumorally, with the aim of reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the treated tumor. The activation of the appropriate inflammatory response can drive a systemic anti-tumor response against untreated tumors in other parts of the body. In 2017, we received Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for TAVO in metastatic melanoma, which could qualify TAVO for expedited FDA review, a rolling Biologics License Application review and certain other benefits.

29

We have completed monotherapy and combination programs and our current focus is to pursue clinical development programs with TAVO, in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, in metastatic melanoma, triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”) and squamous cell carcinoma head and neck (“SCCHN”).neck. The Company intends to continue to pursue other ongoing or potential new trials and studies related to TAVO, in various tumor types. In addition to TAVO, we have identified and are developing new DNA-encoded therapeutic candidates and tumor indications for use with our new Visceral Lesion Applicator, (“VLA”), to target deep visceral lesions, such as liver, lung, bladder, pancreatic and other difficult to treat visceral lesions.

 

Performance Outlook

 

We expect to use our available working capital in the near term primarily for the advancement of our existing and planned clinical programs, including performance of the KEYNOTE-695 and KEYNOTE-890 studies and, to a lesser extent, the continuation of our other clinical trials and studies. We anticipate our spending on clinical programs and the development of our next-generation OMS EP device will continue throughout our current fiscal year, primarily in support of the KEYNOTE-695 and KEYNOTE-890 studies, while our spending on research and development programs will be prioritized, based on our focus on the KEYNOTE-695 and KEYNOTE-890 studies. We expect our cash-based general and administrative expenses to remain relatively flat in the near term, as we seek to continue to leverage internal resources and automate processes to decrease our outside services expenses. See “Results of Operations” below for more information.

 

Our operational and financial performance have already been affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our clinical trials have experienced delays in patient enrollment, potentially due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic or concerns among patients about participating in clinical trials during a public health emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic is also affecting the operations of government entities, such as the FDA, as well as contract research organizations, third-party manufacturers, and other third-parties upon whom we rely. The extent of the impact on our operations cannot be ascertained at this time.

Cash Flow

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended January 31, 20202021 was $15.5$20.6 million, as compared to $13.2$15.6 million for the six months ended January 31, 2019.2020. The $2.3$5.0 million increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in cash used to support our operating activities, including but not limited to, our clinical trials, an increase in R&D activities, amounts for the Alpha Holdings, Inc. litigation and contested proxy incurred in the prior fiscal year and general working capital requirements.

Uses of Cash and Cash Requirements

 

Our primary uses of cash have been to finance clinical and research and development activities focused on the identification and discovery of new potential product candidates, the development of innovative and proprietary medical approaches for the treatment of cancer, and the design and advancement of pre-clinical and clinical trials and studies related to our pipeline of product candidates. We have also used our capital resources on general and administrative activities includingand building and strengthening our corporate infrastructure, programs and procedures to enable compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

 

Our primary objectives for the next 12 months are to continue the advancement of our KEYNOTE-695 and KEYNOTE-890 studies and, to a lesser extent, our other ongoing clinical trials and studies, and to continue our research and development activities for our next-generation EP device and drug discovery efforts. In addition, we expect to pursue capital-raising transactions, which could include equity or debt financings, in the near term to fund our existing and planned operations and acquire and develop additional assets and technology consistent with our business objectives as opportunities arise.

 

We currently estimate our monthly working capital requirements to be approximately $2.5 million, although we may modify or deviate from this estimate and it is likely that our actual operating expenses and working capital requirements will vary from our estimate. Based on these expectations regarding future expenses, rate of consumption, as well as our current cash levels, we believe our cash resources are sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for more than the 12 months following the issuance of this quarterly report. We will continue to assess our cash resources and anticipated needs on a quarterly basis.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company’s products are being developed and have not generated revenue. As of January 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $60.3 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. The Company believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund its business plan into approximately the third calendar quarter of 2022. The estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use available capital resources sooner than currently expected. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of its product candidates, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with completing the development of its current product candidates.

The Company recognizes it may need to raise additional capital in order to continue to execute its business plan. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also caused volatility in the global financial markets and threatened a slowdown in the global economy, which may negatively affect our ability to raise additional capital on attractive terms or at all.

Sources of Capital

 

We have not generated any revenue since our inception, and we do not anticipate generating meaningful revenue in the near term. Historically, we have raised the majority of the funding for our business through offerings of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders would experience further dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we incur debt, our fixed payment obligations, liabilities and leverage relative to our equity capitalization would increase, which could increase the cost of future capital. Further, the terms of any debt securities we issue or borrowings we incur, if available, could impose significant restrictions on our operations, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or issue additional equity or other operating restrictions that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business, and any such debt could be secured by any or all of our assets pledged as collateral. Additionally, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital, including investment banking, legal and accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets

We assessbe impaired, the impairment of long-lived assets, consisting of property and equipment, periodically and whenever events or circumstances indicate thatrecognized is the amount by which the carrying value may not be recoverable. Examples of such circumstances may include: (1) the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from operations and positiveassets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined by the application of discounted cash flow in future periods; (2) loss of legal ownership or titlemodels to an asset; (3) significant changes in our strategic business objectives and utilization of the assets; and (4) the impact of significant negative industry or economic trends. If a change were to occur in any of these or similar factors, the likelihood of a material change in our net loss would increase.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used in operations is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future netproject cash flows expected to be generated byfrom the assets. Although we believe the factors used by management to evaluate future net cash flows are reasonable, this evaluation requires a high degree of judgment, and results could vary if the actual amounts are materially different than management’s estimates. In addition, we basethe Company bases estimates of the useful lives and related amortization or depreciation expense on ourits subjective estimate of the period the assets will generate revenue or otherwise be used by us. If long-lived assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.it. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less selling costs. The Company also periodically reviews the lives assigned to long-lived assets to ensure that the initial estimates do not exceed any revised estimated periods from which the Company expects to realize cash flows from its assets.

Accruals for Research and Development Expenses and Clinical Trials

 

The Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company accounts for these expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company determines accrual estimates through financial models and takes into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates.

Equity-Based Awards

 

The Company grants equity-based awards (typically stock options or restricted stock units) under our stock-based compensation plan and outside of our stock-based compensation plan, with terms generally similar to the terms under our stock-based compensation plan. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. For employees, directors and consultants, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including price volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and expected life of the option. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock unit awards based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Employees may elect to participate in our stockholder approved employee stock purchase plan. The stock purchase plan allows for the purchase of our common stock at not less than 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of a share of stock on the beginning date of the offering period or (ii) the fair market value of a share of stock on the purchase date of the offering period, subject to a share and dollar limit as defined in the plan and subject to the applicable legal requirements. There are two 6-month offering periods during each fiscal year, ending on January 31 and July 31. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of awards under the stock purchase plan is calculated at the beginning of each offering period. We estimate the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including price volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and the offering period. This fair value is then amortized at the beginning of the offering period. Stock-based compensation expense is based on awards expected to be purchased at the beginning of the offering period, and therefore is reduced when participants withdraw during the offering period.

Australia Research and Development Tax Credit

 

Our Australian, wholly-owned, subsidiary incurs research and development expenses, primarily in the course of conducting clinical trials. The Australian research and development activities qualify for the Australian government’s tax credit program, which provides a 41% credit for qualifying research and development expenses. The tax credit does not depend on our generation of future taxable income or ongoing tax status or position. Accordingly, the credit is not considered an element of income tax accounting under ASC 740 and is recorded against qualifying research and development expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using our incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and exclude any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all its leases.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Principal Accounting Officer (our interim principal financial officer),and Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures reflects the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer and Controller, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2020.2021. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer and Controller concluded that, as of January 31, 2020,2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended January 31, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In January 2020, our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) resigned. The resignation of our CFO/COO did not have an impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and Controller, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Refer to Footnote 8: Commitments and Contingencies for more information on legal proceedings.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, except as noted below. The risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.2020.

Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.

Broad-based business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development. For example, in December 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businesses around the world. The outbreak may result in additional or more extensive travel restrictions, closures, disruptions of businesses or facilities in China or other affected regions around the world or lead to social, economic, political or labor instability in the affected areas may impact our, our suppliers’ or our customers’ operations.

Global epidemics, such as the coronavirus, could also negatively affect the hospitals and clinical sites in which we conduct any of our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted.
