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 to OncoSec Medical Incorporated in March 2011 when it began operating as a biotechnology company.

The Company is a late-stage biotechnologyimmuno-oncology company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative, therapies and proprietary, medical approachesintra-tumoral DNA-based therapeutics to stimulate and guide anaugment anti-tumor immune responseresponses for the treatment of cancer.cancers. Its core technology platform ImmunoPulse®, is a drug-device therapeutic modality platform comprised of a proprietary intratumoral electroporation (“EP”) delivery devicesdevice (the “OncoSec Medical System (“OMS”) Electroporation device” or “OMS EP device”Device”). and a proprietary DNA plasmid that triggers transient expression of target protein in cells. The OMS EP deviceDevice is designed to deliver plasmid DNA-encoded drugs directly into a solid tumor and promote an immunological response against the cancer. The OMS EP deviceDevice 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”TAVO™”). The OMS EP deviceDevice is used to deliver TAVOTAVO™ intratumorally, with the aim of reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the treated tumor.tumor and elicit systemic tumor-specific immune responses in cancer patients. The activation of the appropriate inflammatory response in the treated tumor can drive a systemic anti-tumor response against untreated tumors in other parts of the body. In 2017, the Company received Fast Track designationDesignation and Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for TAVOTAVO™ in metastatic melanoma, which could qualify TAVOTAVO™ for expedited FDA review, a rolling Biologics License Application (“BLA”) review and certain other benefits.

The Company’s primary focus is to pursue its clinical trialsstudy of TAVOTAVO™ in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in melanoma and triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”).

The Company’s KEYNOTE-695 study is a registration-directed, Phase 2b open-label, single-arm, multicenter study in approximately 100 patients treated with TAVO™ in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) relapsed or refractory metastatic melanoma, being conducted in the United States, Canada, Australia and metastatic triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”).

The Company’s KEYNOTE-695 study targets melanoma patients who are anti-PD-1 non-responders.Europe. In May 2017, wethe Company 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 companieseach company will bear theirits own costs related to manufacturing and supply of theirits product, as well as be responsible for theirits own internal costs. The Company is the study sponsor and is responsible for external costs. The KEYNOTE-695 study is fully enrolled and currently treating patients. This study is a registration-directed, Phase 2b open-label, single-arm, multicenter studycompleted enrollment of the primary cohort 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 Europe. The Company provided interim preliminary data from this study at the Society of Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) in NovemberDecember 2020. In December 2020, the protocol was amended to include an additional cohort, consisting of patients who progressed on prior treatment with ipilimumab in addition to prior anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor. The amendment also enabled enrollment of both ipilimumabapproximately 25 additional patients to be treated with an updated version of the OMS EP Device (i.e., GenPulseTM generator and nivolumab.Series 3 Applicator), in preparation for seeking FDA approval. Based on and subject to the outcome of the study and feedback from the FDA, the Company plans to file for accelerated approval with the FDA for this patient population in 2023.

In May 2018, the Company entered into a second clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck with respect to

The Company’s KEYNOTE-890 study is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study of TAVOconducted in combination with KEYTRUDA®the United States and Australia to evaluate the safety and efficacy of theTAVO™ in combination with KEYTRUDA® in patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have previously failed at least one systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Thisimmunotherapy (Cohort 1) or who have had no prior systemic therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting (Cohort 2). In May 2018, the Company entered into a second clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with a subsidiary of Merck with respect to the KEYNOTE-890 study, is referred to as KEYNOTE-890, Cohort 1. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, both companieseach company will bear theirits own costs related to manufacturing and supply of theirits product, as well as be responsible for theirits 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 in fourth quarter 2019 and provided interim preliminary data from this study at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December 2019 and December 2020. The study is a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm, multicenter study in the United States and Australia.

In 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. PursuantEnrollment of Cohort 1 was completed (26 patients) in December 2020. Interim data for Cohort 1 was initially presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (“SABCS”) in December 2019, and an update on this cohort was presented at the SABCS in December 2021. Enrollment of Cohort 2 (target 40 patients) began in January 2021 and is expected to be completed in 2022.

In May 2019, the termsCompany supported commencement of an investigator-initiated Phase 1 clinical trial conducted by the University of California San Francisco (“UCSF”) Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. This study targets patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma 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 sponsorHead & Neck and is responsible for external costs. The KEYNOTE-890, Cohort 2 study began enrollinga single-arm open-label clinical trial in which 68 evaluable patients in January of 2021. The Company expects to complete enrollment within fifteen months from the start of enrollmentwill receive TAVO™, KEYTRUDA® and expects to provide interim preliminary data fromepacadostat. Recruitment on this study at a future medical conference. The study is a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm, multicenter studyhas been halted after the last patient was treated in June 2021 while the Company and UCSF consider alterations in the United States and Australia.design of the study.

In August 2020, the Company commencedsupported commencement of 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 TAVOTAVO™ can increase the published 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 is2020. Enrollment for this trial was expected to complete enrollment within eighteen months ofbe completed in 2022. However, the start of enrollment.completion date is under evaluation given current recruitment rates and may extend beyond 2022.

In November 2020, the Company exclusively licensed rightsobtained an exclusive license to the Cliniporator® electroporation gene electrotransfer platform from IGEA Clinical Biophysics. 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. 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”), iswas pursuing a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of OncoSec’sthe Company’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’sthe National Institutes of Health 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 April 2021, the Company announced that it received authorization to CE mark the OMS EP Device for use in solid tumors. That CE mark indicates compliance with Medical Device Directives (MDD) of the European Commission for the OMS EP Device as configured at the time. Subsequent to receiving the CE mark for that version of the OMS EP Device, the Company has advanced the design of the applicator component of the OMS EP Device. This newer version of the OMS EP Device, which still includes the GenPulseTM generator, is currently used as an investigational device in clinical trial sites in Australia, the EU and Switzerland. The Company is currently seeking FDA agreement for investigational use of the GenPulseTM as the generator component of the OMS EP Device in US clinical sites.

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 (“OMS-131”). This study targets patients with 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 and is expected to complete enrollment within the next eighteen months.

The Company intends to continue to pursue potential new trials and studies related to TAVO,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 proprietyproprietary plasmid-DNA and delivered intratumorally using EP. Specifically, we arethe Company is developing a new, proprietyproprietary 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 newthe VLA.

The new VLA has beenis being designed to work with low voltage EP generators, including but not limited to the Company’s proprietary APOLLOTM EP generator and Cliniporator®, and is expected to leverage plasmid-optimized EP and enhance the depth ofenable transfection of immunologically relevant genes into cells located in visceral organs. 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.pertaining to visceral delivery of plasmid therapy. Additionally, the Company has successfully completed several large animal studies and aimto assess VLA design. The Company expected to bring the newa 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 goal2023. However, this timeline is to reverse the immunosuppressive mechanisms of a tumor, as well as to expand the Company’s pipeline.under evaluation and may extend beyond 2023. The Company believes that the flexibility of the Company’s proprietyproprietary 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”), the leading Australian company providing full registration, reimbursement, sales, marketing and distribution services of therapeutic products in Australia and New Zealand, to commercialize TAVOTAVO™ and mademake it available under Australia’s Special Access Scheme (“SAS”) early. Emerge was acquired in calendar year 2020. Aslate 2019 and in June 2021 informed the Company that oncology will not be a specialized Australian pharmaceutical company focused oncore therapeutic focus for Emerge into the marketingfuture. The collaboration was terminated effective October 1, 2021, and sales of high-quality medicinesthe Company will not continue to participate in the hospital sector, Emerge has previously made numerous other products successfully available under Australia’s SAS.SAS program.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, OncoSec Medical Australia PTY LTD. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and certain calculations related to that determination, stock-based compensation, the accrual of research, product development and clinical obligations, impairment of long-lived assets, determining the Incremental Borrowing Rate for calculating 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.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances at a small number of financial institutions in both the United States and Australia and such balances commonly exceed the $250,000 $250,000amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.Corporation and $250,000 AUD (approximately $176,000 USD) insured by the Australian Financial Claims Scheme. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to such cash and cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

The Company’s capitalization threshold is $5,000$5,000 for property and equipment. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives of property and equipment for the purpose of computing depreciation are as follows:

Schedule of Useful Lives of Property and Equipment for Purpose of Computing Depreciation

Computers and equipment:3 to 10 years
Computer software:1 to 3 years
Leasehold improvements:Shorter of lease period or useful life

12

Construction-in-progress is stated at cost, which relates to the cost of equipment not yet placed into service. No depreciation expense is recorded on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and put into use.

Intangible Assets

Definite life intangible assets include a license. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. License agreementsagreement 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.

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. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 730-20, the Company accounts for upfront, non-refundable research and development payments received from a related party as a long-term liability as there has not been a substantive and genuine transfer of risk and there is a presumption that the Company is obligated to repay the related party.

13

 

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 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, 20212022 and July 31, 2020.2021.

Warrants

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, 2021,2022 and July 31, 2020,2021, 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.

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 and (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.

15

 

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 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 the 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” as 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.

16

 

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%43.5% 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“Income Taxes” and is recorded against qualifying research and development expenses.

Tax ReformThe CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, the president signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) providing nearly $2 $2 trillion in economic relief to eligible businesses impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. The CARES Act, among 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 mayintends to seek, any other available and appropriate potential benefits under the CARES Act as well as any future legislation signed into law during 2021. Other than the proceeds from the SBA loan, the2022. The effects of the CARES Act did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended January 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020,No recent accounting pronouncements are anticipated to have an impact on or related to the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, DebtCompany’s financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.

Note 3—Going Concern and Management’s Plans

The Company has sustained losses in all reporting periods since inception, with Conversionan accumulated deficit of approximately $271 million as of January 31, 2022. These losses are expected to continue for an extended period of time. Further, the Company has never generated any cash from its operations and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contractsdoes not expect to generate such cash in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.the near term. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reportedaforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify forgoing concern within one year from the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifiesissuance date of the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Note 3— Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company’s products are being developed and have not generated revenue. As of January 31, 2021,March 2, 2022, the Company had approximately $60.3 million in cash and cash equivalents of $22.1 million. Since inception, cash flows from financing activities have been the primary source of the Company’s liquidity. Based on its balance sheet. Thethe Company’s current cash levels, the Company believes its current cash position is sufficientresources are insufficient to fund its business plan into approximatelymeet the third calendar quarter of 2022. The estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, andCompany’s anticipated needs for the Company could use available capital resources sooner than currently expected.

The Company recognizes it maywill need to raise additional capital in order to continue to executeoperating its business plan.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. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company 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. IfThe source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the Companyprogress of our clinical development programs. Similarly, if our common stock is unabledelisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, it may limit our ability to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan. funds. See Note 12Nasdaq Deficiency Notices. 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. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds when needed, on favorable terms or at all, the Company will not be able to continue the development of its product candidates as currently planned or at all, will need to reevaluate its planned operations and may need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs, reduce expenses or cease operations, any of which would have a significant negative impact on its prospects and financial condition.

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 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.

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, 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.

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.directors, as the Company does not have much stock option exercise history and thus does not have enough information on exercise behavior to calculate a refined expected term based on that information. 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.

22

 

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%15% of the share price of an unvested share at the beginning of the offering period,
85%85% of the fair market value of a six-month call on the unvested share aforementioned, and
15%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 to end on January 31, 2022, the following assumptions were used: six-month maturity, 0.05% risk free interest, 72.99% volatility, 0% forfeitures and $0 dividends. For the six-month offering period ended January 31, 2021, the following assumptions were used: six-month maturity, 0.1%0.1% risk free interest, 122.84%122.84% volatility, 0%0% forfeitures and $0$0 dividends.

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 TAVOTAVO™ 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 $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 complete copy of the final 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 $25.0 million, comprised of $20.0 $20.0 million in cash, and $5.0 $5.0 million for the issuance of common shares of the Company determined by the average closing price of the stock for the 30 days prior to 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 TAVOTAVO™ 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 be 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 TAVOTAVO™ 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%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, ownsat the time of entering into the agreement, owned 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 as cash and cash equivalents as the Company has the ability to direct the usage of funds, and as 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 exercises the option which results in royalties paid by the Company to Sirtex based on the net sales of the TAVOTAVO™ products, or (ii) Sirtex does not exercise the option and the co-promotion agreement is terminated by the parties.

As of January 31, 2021,2022, the balance of the Liability under co-promotion agreement – related party relates to the option fee payment of $5.0$5.0 million received from Sirtex.

Overview

We are a late-stage biotechnologyimmuno-oncology company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative, therapies and proprietary, medical approachesintra-tumoral DNA-based therapeutics to stimulate and to guide anaugment anti-tumor immune responseresponses for the treatment of cancer.cancers. Our core technology platform ImmunoPulse®is a drug-device therapeutic modality platform comprised of proprietary intratumoral electroporation (“EP”) delivery devices (the “OncoSec Medical System (OMS) Electroporation Device” or “OMS EP device”Device”). and a proprietary DNA plasmid that triggers transient expression of target protein in cells. The OMS EP deviceDevice is designed to deliver plasmid DNA-encoded drugs directly into a solid tumor and promote an immunological response against the cancer. The OMS EP deviceDevice 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”TAVO™”). The OMS EP deviceDevice is used to deliver TAVOTAVO™ 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 designationDesignation and Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for TAVOTAVO™ in metastatic melanoma, which could qualify TAVOTAVO™ for expedited FDA review, a rolling Biologics License Application review and certain other benefits.

We have completed monotherapy and combination programs and our

26

Our current focus is to pursue clinical development programs with TAVO,our study of TAVO™ in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors,KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in metastatic melanoma and triple negative breast cancer and squamous cell carcinoma head and 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, to target deep visceral lesions, such as liver, lung, bladder, pancreatic and other difficult to treat visceral lesions.cancer.

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 deviceDevice 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.

COVID-19

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.

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 useduse our capital resources on general and administrative activities and 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.

Going Concern and Financial ConditionManagement’s Plans

The Company’s products are being developed and have not generated revenue. AsCompany has sustained losses in all reporting periods since inception, with an accumulated deficit of approximately $271 million as of January 31, 2021,2022. These losses are expected to continue for an extended period of time. Further, the Company has never generated any cash from its operations and does not expect to generate such cash in the near term. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

As of March 2, 2022, the Company had approximately $60.3 million in cash and cash equivalents of $22.1 million. Since inception, cash flows from financing activities has been the primary source of the Company’s liquidity. Based on its balance sheet. Thecurrent cash levels, the Company believes its current cash position is sufficientresources are insufficient to fund its business plan into approximatelymeet the third calendar quarter of 2022. The estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, andCompany’s anticipated needs for the Company could use available capital resources sooner than currently expected. Because of12 months following the numerous risks and uncertainties associated withdate 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.condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company recognizes it maywill need to raise additional capital in order to continue to executeoperating its business plan.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. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company 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. IfThe source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the Companyprogress of our clinical development programs. Similarly, if our common stock is unabledelisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, it may limit our ability to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan.funds. See “Nasdaq Deficiency Notices” below. 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. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds when needed, on favorable terms or at all, the Company will not be able to continue the development of its product candidates as currently planned or at all, will need to reevaluate its planned operations and may need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its development programs, reduce expenses or cease operations, any of which would have a significant negative impact on its prospects and financial condition.

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.

Nasdaq Deficiency Notices

As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2022, the Company received notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days as of the date of the Notice. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade at this time on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ONCS.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until August 8, 2022, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180 calendar day period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by August 8, 2022, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares ($1 million) and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In that event, the Company may appeal such delisting determination to a hearings panel.

On January 25,November 29, 2021, the Company completednotified Nasdaq that Robert E. Ward had resigned as a member of the offerBoard of Directors and salethe Company’s Audit Committee, as disclosed on the Company’s Current Report filed on Form 8-K on November 30, 2021. After giving effect to Mr. Ward’s resignation, the Company’s Audit Committee no longer consists of an aggregatethree independent members as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).

On December 8, 2021, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq noting that the Company no longer complied with the requirement of 7,711,284 sharesListing Rule 5605. The letter also acknowledged that the Listing Rules provide a cure period in order for the Company to regain compliance until the earlier of itsthe Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or November 23, 2022.

We are currently evaluating our alternatives to resolve these listing deficiencies. To the extent that we are unable to resolve these listing deficiencies, there is a risk that our common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq, which would adversely impact liquidity of our common stock and potentially result in even lower bid prices for our common stock.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 a purchase pricethe date of $5.45 per share in a public offering. The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $42.0 million,financial statements and the net proceeds, after deductingreported amounts of expenses during the placement agent’s feereporting period. Such estimates include the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and certain calculations related to that determination, stock-based compensation, the accrual of research, product development and clinical obligations, impairment of long-lived assets, determining the Incremental Borrowing Rate for calculating 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 offering feesassumptions 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 expenses paid byliabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Critical Accounting Policies

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.

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. In accordance with ASC 730-20, the Company accounts for upfront, non-refundable research and development payments received from a related party as a long-term liability as there has not been a substantive and genuine transfer of risk and there is a presumption that the Company is obligated to repay the related party.

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.

33

 

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.

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%43.5% 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.

34

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease 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 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 ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Principal AccountingFinancial 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 ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and our Principal AccountingFinancial Officer, and Controller, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2021.2022. Based on such evaluation, our President and ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and our Principal AccountingFinancial Officer and Controller concluded that, as of January 31, 2021,2022, 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, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control 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 FootnoteNote 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, 2020.2021, 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, 2021, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

If our stock price continues to remain below $1.00, our common stock may be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market, which would materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and have an adverse effect on our market price.
