BEYOND AIR, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Beyond Air, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Beyond Air” or the “Company”) was incorporated on April 28, 2015 under Delaware law. On June 25, 2019, the Company’s name was changed to Beyond Air, Inc. from AIT Therapeutics, Inc.

 

Beyond AirThe Company is a clinical-stagecommercial stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a platform of nitric oxide (“NO”) generatorgenerators and delivery systemsystems (the “LungFit® system”platform”) capable of generating NO from ambient air. The Company’s first device, LungFit® PH (“LungFit® PH”) received premarket approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), for the treatment of term and near-term neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure, commonly referred to as persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”), in June 2022. The NO generated by the LungFit® PH system is indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents. The LungFit®platform can generate NO up to 400 parts per million (“ppm”) for delivery to a patient’s lungs directly or via a ventilator. LungFit® can deliver NO either continuously or for a fixed amount of time at various flow rates and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose.

The Company believes that LungFit® can be used to treat patients on ventilators that require NO, as well as patients with chronic or acute severe lung infections via delivery through a breathing mask or similar apparatus. Furthermore, the Company believes that there is a high unmet medical need for patients suffering from certain severe lung infections that the LungFit® platform can potentially address. The Company’s current areas of focus with LungFit® are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), -community-acquiredPPHN, viral community-acquired pneumonia (CAVP)(“VCAP”) including COVID-19, (previously acute viral pneumonia, or AVP), bronchiolitis (BRO) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)(“NTM”) lung infection.infection and those with various severe lung infections with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”). The Company’s current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (the “FDA”), CE markingFDA, certification through the conduct of a conformity assessment by a notified body in the European Union (the “E.U.”“EU”), as well as similarcomparable foreign regulatory agencies’authorities’ reviews or approvals in other countries or regions. LungFit® is currently undergoing PMA review with the FDA for the treatment of PPHN and, if approved, theThe Company’s system will be marketed as a medical device in the U.S.

 

On November 4, 2021, Beyond Air reorganized theits oncology business into a new and independently managed, private company called Beyond Cancer, Ltd (“Beyond Cancer”). Beyond Air’s preclinical oncology team and the exclusive right to the intellectual property portfolio utilizing ultra-high concentratedconcentration of gaseous nitric oxide (“UNO”) for the treatment of solid tumors now reside with Beyond Cancer. The new subsidiary secured $30million in private placement of common shares, including $4.8 million in conjunction with the retirement of long-term debt, providing investors with 20% 20% equity ownership.ownership in Beyond Cancer. Beyond Air retained 80% 80% ownership in Beyond Cancer (see Note 15).

Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company used cash in operating activities of $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, and has accumulated losses attributable to the stockholders of Beyond Air of $103.6 million. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $92.7 million as of December 31, 2021. Based on management’s current business plan, the Company estimates that it will have enough cash and liquidity sufficient to finance its operating requirements for at least one year from the date of filing these financial statements.

The Company’s future capital needs and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the actual cost and time necessary for current and anticipated preclinical studies, clinical trials and other actions needed to obtain regulatory approval of the Company’s medical devices in development as well as the cost to launch the Company’s first product for PPHN, assuming approval of Beyond Air’s Pre-Market Approval Process (PMA).

The Company’s access to capital and liquidity currently includes a $40 million stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”) dated as of May 14, 2020 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), of which approximately $18.1 million remains available as of December 31, 2021. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for issuances through May 2023 at the Company’s discretion (see Note 5).

The Company entered into an At-The-Market Offering Sales Agreement, dated February 4, 2022 for $50 million (see Note 5).

The Company may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt securities offerings or strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements in order to fund operations until it is able to generate enough product or royalty revenues, if any. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company’s failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on its strategic objectives, results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required to be presented for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 20212022 (the “2021“2022 Annual Report”), was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 10, 2021 and amended on July 23, 2021.28, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the 20212022 Annual Report.Report on Form 10-K.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all of the Company’s subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As the Company has both the power to direct activities of Beyond Cancer that most significantly impact such entitiesBeyond Cancer’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits and losses that may potentially be significant, these financial statements are fully consolidated with those of the Company. The non-controlling owners’ 20% interest in Beyond Cancer’s net assets and result of operations is reported as “non-controlling interest” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and as “net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.operations and comprehensive income (loss). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates including accruals for expenses under consulting, licensing agreements, and clinical trials, stock-based compensation, contingency recognition and the determination of deferred tax attributes and the valuation allowance thereon.

Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties

The Company used cash in operating activities of $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and has accumulated losses attributable to the stockholders of Beyond Air of $134.6 million. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $72.8 million as of June 30, 2022 ($46.7 million excluding Beyond Cancer (see Note 2)). Based on management’s current business plan, and taking into consideration cash designated for the Beyond Cancer program, the Company estimates that its cash and liquidity are sufficient to finance its operating requirements for at least one year from the date of filing these financial statements.

The Company’s future capital needs and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including, but not necessarily limited to the success and costs of commercialization of the Company’s approved product and the actual cost and time necessary for current and anticipated preclinical studies, clinical trials and other actions needed to obtain certification or regulatory approval of the Company’s product candidates.

The Company’s access to capital and liquidity currently includes a $40 million stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”) dated as of May 14, 2020 (the “New Stock Purchase Agreement”), of which approximately $18.1 million remains available as of June 30, 2022. The New Stock Purchase Agreement provides for issuances through May 2023 at the Company’s discretion as long as certain requirements are met (see Note 5).

The Company entered into an At-The-Market Offering Sales Agreement, dated February 4, 2022 (the “2022 ATM”) for $50 million, of which $50 million in funds are available under this agreement as of June 30, 2022 (see Note 5).

The Company may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt securities offerings or strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements in order to fund operations until it is able to generate enough product or royalty revenues, if any. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company’s failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on its strategic objectives, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks common to development and early stage medical device and development stage companies including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, certifications or regulatory approval, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, product liability, uncertainty of market acceptance of approved products and the potential need to obtain additional financing. The Company is also dependent on third-party suppliers and, in some cases single-source suppliers.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The development of the Company’s product candidates or commercialization of its approved product could be further disrupted and adversely affected by a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company experienced significant delays in the supply chain for LungFit® due to the redundancy in parts and suppliers with ventilator manufacturing which has since been remedied. Residual effects from the COVID-19 pandemic on the global supply chain having an effect on our ability to manufacture have been addressed, but the stability of the situation is unclear. The Company continuously assesses the impact COVID-19 may have on the Company’s business plans and its ability to conduct the preclinical studies and clinical trials as well as on the Company’s reliance on third-party manufacturing and global supply chains. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to avoid part or all of any impact from COVID-19 or its consequences if a resurgence occurs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and an investment in a U.S. government money market fund to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial institutions in Israel, Ireland and the U.S., the balances of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

 

As of December 31, 2021 andJune 30, 2022, restricted cash was unchanged from March 31, 2021, restricted cash included approximately2022 at $1.8 million10.0 andmillion. $0.62.6 million was designated for a contract manufacturer respectively.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s). At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct and identifies those promised goods or services that are performance obligations.

 

The Company uses judgment to determine (a) the number of performance obligations based on the determination under step (ii) above and whether those performance obligations are distinct from other performance obligations in the contract (b) the transaction price under step (iii) above and (c) the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract for the allocation of the transaction price in step (iv) above. The Company also uses judgment to determine whether milestones or other variable consideration, except for royalties, should be included in the transaction price. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on an estimated stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under contract are satisfied. Where a portion of non-refundable up-front fees or other payments received are allocated to continuing performance obligations under the terms of a license arrangement, such fees or other payments are recorded as contract liabilities and recognized as revenue when (or as) the underlying performance obligation is satisfied.

Grant receivableReceivable

 

Under a collaboration arrangement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (“CFF”), grant milestones are achieved subject to certain performance steps and requirements under a development program. Grant milestones are recorded as reimbursements against the applicable portion of the Company’s research and development expenses. Such reimbursements are reflected as a reduction of research and development expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), as the performance of research and development services for reimbursement is not considered to be an ongoing component or central to the Company’s operations. See Note 11.

Segment Reporting

 

OperatingCommencing with the creation of Beyond Cancer in November 2021 (see Note 15), the Company’s operations became classified into two segments, are identifiedBeyond Air and Beyond Cancer. Each segment has its own Management team, Board of Directors, Corporate Officers and legal entities. As of June 30, 2022, Beyond Air, Inc. owns 80% of the common stock of Beyond Cancer. The segment reporting is based on the manner in which the Company’s CEO as components of an enterprise about which separate discretechief operating decision maker assesses performance and allocates resources across the organization.

Foreign Exchange Transactions

 

The Company’s subsidiaries transact in U.S. dollars, Euros, New Israeli Shekels and Australian dollars. The Company’s main operations are in the United States and the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. The Company translated its non-U.S. operations’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 were not material. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations as foreign currency exchange gain/(loss).

In consolidating international subsidiaries, balance sheet currency effects are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The other current and non-current assets line within the Statement of Cash Flows includes the impact of foreign currency translation. This equity account includes the results of translating certain balance sheet assets and liabilities at current exchange rates and some accounts at historical rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $172 thousand and $0, respectively in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Fair value for restricted stock unit awards is valued using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is recognized over the requisite service period during which an employee and non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The grant date fair value of employee and non-employee share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Due to the Company’s limited trading history, the Company utilizes weighting of its historical volatility and the implied volatility based on an aggregate of guideline companies. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

 SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT USEFUL LIFE OF ASSETS

Computer equipmentThree years
Furniture and fixturesSeven years
Clinical and medical equipmentFive or Fifteen years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of term of lease or estimated useful life of the asset

 

Licensed Right to Use Technology

 

Licensed right to use technology that is considered platform technology with alternative future uses is recorded as an intangible asset and is amortized on a straight-line method over its estimated useful life, determined to be thirteen years (see Note 14).

 

The expected amortization expense for the next five fiscal years and thereafter is as follows for the year ended March 31 (in thousands):

 SCHEDULE OF FUTURE EXPECTED AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

        
Remainder of 2022 $10 
2023  38  $156

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assess the impairment of long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers as potential triggers of an impairment review include the following:

 

significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results,
significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for its overall business,
significant negative regulatory or economic trends, and
significant technological changes, which would render the platform technology, equipment, and manufacturing processes obsolete.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Long-Lived Assets

 

Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in the Company’s operations is measured by comparing the carrying value to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. Future undiscounted cash flows include estimates of future revenues, driven by market growth rates, and estimates of future costs. There were no events during the reporting periods that were deemed to be a triggering event that would require an impairment assessment.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a valuation allowance to the full extent of the Company’s net deferred tax assets since the likelihood of realization of the benefit does not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold.

 

The Company’s reserves related to taxes are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company files U.S. federal, various state,in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and internationalpenalties accrued. The Company has not, as yet, conducted a study of research and development (“R&D”) credit carryforwards. This study may result in an adjustment to the Company’s R&D credit carryforwards; however, until a study is completed and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s R&D credits and, if an adjustment is required, this adjustment would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance. Thus, there would be no impact to the balance sheet or statement of operations if an adjustment were required. The Company would recognize both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized benefits in income tax returns. Uncertainexpense. The Company’s uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances. Such adjustment is reflected in the tax provision when appropriate. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognizedyears that remain subject to examination by relevant tax benefitsauthorities. Since the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state and local income taxestax authorities for all tax years in the statements of operations.which a loss carryforward is available.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Beyond Air, Inc., by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock and other stock-based compensation awards is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) attributed to common stockholders per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares of common stock. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, because such shares of common stock are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive see(see Note 9.9).

 

NewRecently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted

 

There are noThe Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) recently issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt – 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, to reduce complexity in applying U.S. GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASU”) 2020-06 simplifies the accounting standardsfor convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance that have been adoptedrequires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the current periodhost convertible debt or willpreferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be adoptedbifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in future periodsASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that have had orare both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial positionstatements or resultsdisclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of operations.credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and a short-term loan. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. The long-term debt approximates fair value due to the prevailing market conditions for similar debt with remaining maturity and terms.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

 Level 1 -quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
   
 Level 2 -inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or
   
 Level 3 -unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Total $2,401  $1,903  $2,483  $2,361 

 

Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued rent. The interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative and research development expenses. The Company has other operating lease agreements with commitments of less than one year or that are not significant. The Company elected the practical expedient option and as such these lease

payments are expensed as incurred.

Introduction

 

We are a clinical-stagecommercial-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a platform of nitric oxide  (“NO”) generatorgenerators and delivery systemsystems (the “LungFit® system”“LungFit® platform”) capable of generating NO from ambient air. Our first device, LungFit® PH, received premarket approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (“PPHN”), in June 2022. The LungFit® NO generated by the LungFit® PH Systemsystem is indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents. The LungFit® platform can generate NO up to 400 parts per million (“ppm”) for delivery to a patient’s lungs directly or via a ventilator. LungFit® LungFit® can deliver NO either continuously or for a fixed amount of time at various flow rates and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. We believe that LungFit®LungFit® can be used to treat patients on ventilators that require NO, as well as patients with chronic or acute severe lung infections via delivery through a breathing mask or similar apparatus. Furthermore, we believe that there is a high unmet medical need for patients suffering from certain severe lung infections that the LungFit® LungFit® platform can potentially address. The Company’sOur current areas of focus with LungFit® LungFit® are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN),PPHN, community-acquired viral pneumonia (“CAVP”) including COVID-19 (previously termed acute viral pneumonia, or AVP)pneumonia), bronchiolitis, (BRO) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)(“NTM”) lung infection.infection and those with various severe lung infections with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”). The Company’s current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (the “FDA”), CE markingFDA, certification through the conduct of a conformity assessment by a notified body in the European Union (the “E.U.”),EU for the product to be CE marked, as well as similarcomparable foreign regulatory agencies’ reviews or approvals in other countries or regions. If approved, theauthorities. The Company’s system will be marketed as a medical device in the U.S.

 

An additional program of Beyond Air targets solid tumors, through our majority-owned affiliate Beyond Cancer, Ltd. (“Beyond Cancer”) For. The LungFit® platform is not utilized for the solid tumor indication the LungFit® platform is not utilized due to the need for ultra-high concentrations of gaseous nitric oxide (“UNO”). A proprietary delivery system has been developed that can safely deliver UNO in excess of 10,000 ppm directly to a solid tumor. This program has advanced to phase 1 as enrollment is underway in preclinical development and will require approval from the FDA or similar regulatory agencies in other countries to enter human studies. We anticipate that Beyond Cancer will begin enrolling patients into the first human trial in the first half of calendar year 2022.study.

We believe LungFit® will bePH is the first FDA approved system withusing our patented ionizer technology that generates NO using roomto generate on-demand nitric oxide from ambient air enabling the delivery of unlimited, on-demand NOand, regardless of dose or flow. To generate the NO,flow, deliver it to a pump within the LungFit® flowsventilator circuit. The device uses a medical air compressor to drive room air through a smallplasma chamber in the center of the unit where pulses of electrical discharge are created between two electrodes. The system uses the power equivalent to a 60-watt lightbulb ionizesto ionize the nitrogen and oxygen and nitrogen molecules. The molecules, recombinewhich then combine as NO. We believe that the on-demand delivery, either to a ventilator circuit or directly to a patient’s lungs, is safe due to the Company’s system design and the Company’s proprietaryNO with low levels of nitrogen dioxide (“NO2NO2”) filter.created as a byproduct. The NO2 filterproducts are then passed through a Smart Filter, which removes the toxic NO2 for 12 hours when used for PPHN and shorter periods for treating other conditions that require NO concentrations of 150 ppm or more.

NO2 from the internal circuit. With respect to PPHN, ourthe novel LungFit® PH is designed to deliver a dosage of NO to the lungs that is consistent with current guidelines for delivery of 20 ppm NO with a range of 0.5 ppm – 80 ppm (low-concentration(low concentration NO) for ventilated patients.

We believe the ability of LungFit® PH to generate NO from ambient air provides us with many competitive advantages over the current standard of NO delivery systems in the U.S., the E.U.,EU, Japan and other markets. For example, LungFit® PH does not require the use of a high-pressure cylinder, does not require cumbersome purging procedures and places less burden on hospital staff in carrying out safety procedures.

 

Our novel LungFit® platform can also deliver a high concentration (>150 ppm) of NO directly to the lungs, which we believe has the potential to eliminate microbial infections including bacteria, fungi and viruses, among others. We believe that current FDA-approved NO vasodilation treatments would have limited success in treating microbial infections given the low concentrations of NO being delivered (<100 ppm). Given that NO is produced naturally by the body as an innate immunity mechanism, at a concentration of 200 ppm, supplemental high dose NO should aid in the body’s fight against infection. Based on our preclinical and clinical studies, we believe that 150 ppm is the minimum therapeutic dose to achieve the desired pulmonary antimicrobial effect of NO. To date, neither the FDA nor equivalentcomparable foreign regulatory agencies in other countries or regions have approved any NO formulation and/or delivery system for >80 ppm NO.

 

LungFit® PH for the treatment of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)

 

In November 2020 we submitted a PMA application toJune 2022 the FDA forapproved LungFit® PH to treat PPHN. LungFit® PH is the use ofinaugural device from the LungFit® PH in PPHN. Thereplatform of NO generators that use patented ionizer technology and is a standard 180-day review process that starts upon the FDA’s acknowledgement of the submission, though PMA reviews oftentimes take much longer, sometimes over a year or more. Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to lead to longer review times by the FDA. We anticipate an FDA decision on the PMA in the first half of calendar year 2022.FDA-approved product for Beyond Air.

 

We also expect to receive the CE Mark under the Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) in the E.U.EU in the firstsecond half of calendar year 2022. According to the most recent year-end report from Mallinckrodt plc (“Mallinckrodt”),Pharmaceuticals, sales of NO were $448.5 million in 2021 (down from $574.1 million in 2020 (up from $571.4 million in 2019)2020) for the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico and Australia, with >90%~90% in the United States. However, Mallinckrodt reported that due to increased competition following the launch of competing NO delivery systems in the United States, Mallinckrodt’s sales of NO faced a downward trajectory, reporting $134.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, $106.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $98.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Outside of the U.S. there are multiple market participants which translates to considerably lower sales than in the U.S. We believe the U.S. sales potential of LungFit® PH in PPHN to be greater than $300$400 million and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $600$700 million. If regulatory approval is obtained, we anticipateWe initiated the first phase of our commercial launch in June 2022 in the U.S. and will continue to work toward a productpotential launch in the U.S. in the first half of calendar year 2022 and will continue commercialization in the E.U.EU and globally in 2022 and beyond.

 

LungFit® PRO for the treatment of viral lung infections in hospitalized patients

 

Viral Community-Acquired Viral Pneumonia (including COVID-19)

 

Viral pneumonia in adults is most commonly caused by rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (“RSV”) and influenza virus. However, newly emerging viruses (including SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, avian influenza A, and H1N1 viruses) have been identified as pathogens contributing to the overall burden of adult viral pneumonia. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, that has resulted in a global pandemic.pandemic, causing over 6.6 million hospitalizations and over 5 million deaths worldwide as of November 2021. Excluding the pandemic, there are approximately 350,000 annual viral pneumonia hospitalizations in the US, and up to 16 million annual viral pneumonia hospitalizations globally. For the broader annual viral pneumonia hospitalizations, we believe U.S. salesmarket potential to be greater than $1.5 billion and worldwide market potential to be greater than $3 billion.

 

We initiated a pilot study in late 2020 using our novel LungFit®LungFit® PRO system at 150 ppm to treat patients with CAVP.VCAP. The ongoing trial is a multi-center, open-label, randomized clinical trial in Israel, including patients infected with COVID-19. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either inhalations of 150 ppm NO given intermittently for 40 minutes four times per day for up to seven days in addition to standard supportive treatment (“NO+SST”) or standard supportive treatment alone (“SST”). Endpoints related to safety (primary endpoint), oxygen saturation and ICUintensive care unit admission, among others, will bewere assessed.

We reported interim data from this ongoing trial at the American Thoracic Society or ATS International Conference 2021, which was held virtually from May 14, 2021 through May 19, 2021. At the time of the data cut off, the intent-to-treat (“ITT”) analysis population included 19 COVID-19 patients (9 NO + SST vs 10 SST). The data readout showed that 150 ppm NO treatment administered via LungFit® PRO was safe and well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging efficacy signals. From a safety perspective, there were no treatment-related, or possibly related, adverse events or severe adverse events. NO2 levels were below 4 ppm at all timepoints (trial safety threshold is 5 ppm) and methemoglobin (“MetHb”) levels were below 4% at all times (trial safety threshold is 10%). With respect to the requirement of oxygen support beyond hospital stay, 22.2% of subjects in the NO + SST group compared with 40% of control subjects had this requirement. There was an observable trend of shortening the duration of hospital stay and duration on oxygen support for treated patients. The pilot study in adult viral pneumonia, including COVID-19, remainsremained active with trial sites open for enrollment. Additionalenrollment after these data were presented.

We presented additional detailed study results willat the 32nd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2022), which took place from April 23, 2022 through April 26, 2022 as a hybrid event both onsite in Lisbon, Portugal and online. At the time of the data cut off, the trial enrolled a total of 40 subject hospitalized for VCAP (SARS-CoV-2, n=39; other viruses n=1). The ITT population included 35 subjects with 16 subjects in the inhaled NO group and 19 subjects in the control group. Safety data from the study showed that inhaled NO treatment was well tolerated overall with no treatment related adverse events as assessed by the investigators. NO2 levels were below 4.4 ppm at all timepoints (trial safety threshold is 5 ppm) and MetHb levels were below 6.8% at all times (trial safety threshold is 10%). There were two serious adverse events reported in the group receiving inhaled NO along with SST, which were determined to be presentedrelated to underlying conditions and unrelated to study drug/device. From an efficacy perspective, results showed a trend of shortening length of stay (“LOS”) in favor of the inhaled NO treatment group by a factor 1.8 in favor of inhaled NO treatment. Duration of oxygen support, measured in-hospital and at an upcoming scientific meetinghome, was significantly shorter (p=0.0339) for inhaled NO treated subjects. In addition, of subjects with unstable oxygen saturation during hospitalization, 66.7% of the inhaled NO treatment group reached stable saturation of ≥93% during hospital stay as compared to 26.7% in April 2022.the SST group.

 

Bronchiolitis (BRO)

 

Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospital admission in children less than 1 year of age. The incidence is estimated to be 150 million new cases a year worldwide, with 2-3% (over 3 million) of them severe enough to require hospitalization. Worldwide, 95%3 of all cases occur in developing countries. In the U.S., there are approximately 120,000 annual bronchiolitis hospitalizations and approximately 3.2 million annual child hospitalizations globally. Currently, there is no approved treatment for bronchiolitis. The treatment for acute viral lung infections that cause bronchiolitis in infants is largely supportive care and is based primarily on prolonged hospitalization during which the infant receives a constant flow of oxygen to treat hypoxemia, a reduced concentration of oxygen in the blood. In addition, systemic steroids and inhalation with bronchodilators are sometimes utilized until recovery, but we believe that these treatments do not successfully reduce hospital length of stay.LOS. We believe the U.S. market potential for bronchiolitis to be greater than $500 million and worldwide market potential to be greater than $1.2 billion.

 

Our BRO program is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pivotal study for bronchiolitis was originally set to be performed in the winter of 2020/21 but was delayed due to the pandemic. We have completed three successful pilot studies for bronchiolitis. A further analysis of the three previously reported pilot studies was presented at the ATS International Conference 2021, which was held virtually from May 14, 2021 through May 19, 2021. Analysis across the studies (n=198 infants, mean age 3.9 months) showed that 150 ppm – 160 ppm NO administered intermittently was generally safe and well tolerated with adverse event rates similar among treatment groups with no reported treatment-related serious adverse events. The short course of treatments with intermittent high concentration inhaled NO was effective in shortening hospital length of stayLOS and accelerating time to fit for discharge – a composite endpoint of clinical signs and symptoms to indicate readiness to be evaluated for hospital discharge. This treatment was also effective in accelerating time to stable oxygen saturation – measured as SpO2 ≥ 92% in room air. Additionally, NO at a dose of 85 ppm NO showed no difference compared to control for all efficacy endpoints, while 150 ppm NO showed statistical significance when compared to control.control

Additionally, long-term safety data for high concentration inhaled NO in bronchiolitis was presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting 2022 (PAS 22), which was held in Denver, Colorado from April 21, 2022 through April 25, 2022. A total of 101 infants from the three prior pilot studies for bronchiolitis (n=198) participated in the long-term follow-up study. Study endpoints for the long-term safety study included the percentage of subjects re-hospitalized for bronchiolitis related reasons, such as wheezing episodes, pneumonia and asthma and the percentage of subjects re-hospitalized for any reason. Data from the study showed the re-hospitalization rate per 100 Patient Exposure Years (PEY) due to bronchiolitis related reasons trended favorably for the inhaled NO group. In addition, the long-term subject re-hospitalization rate for any reason was similar between inhaled NO and control groups. As such, the study concluded that the treatment of hospitalized infants with acute bronchiolitis by intermittent high dose inhaled NO shows a favorable long-term safety profile.

 

We believe that the entirety of data at 150 ppm - 160 ppm NO in both adult and infant patient populations supports further development of LungFit® PRO in a pivotal study for CAVP, and plan to initiate this study in the United States in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022, FDA and pandemic permitting.patients hospitalized with VCAP or bronchiolitis.

 

LungFit® GO for the treatment of Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)

 

NTM lung infection is a rare and serious pulmonary disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Patients with NTM lung disease may experience a multitude of symptoms such as fever, weight loss, cough, lack of appetite, night sweats, blood in the sputum and fatigue. Patients with NTM lung disease, specifically Mycobacterium abscessus (M.abscessusM. abscessus) representing 20% - 25% of all NTM and other forms of NTM that are refractory to antibiotic therapy, frequently require lengthy and repeated hospital stays to manage their condition. There are no treatments specifically indicated for the treatment of M. abscessus lung disease in North America, Europe or Japan.

 

There are approximately 50,000 to 90,000 people with NTM infections in the U.S. In Asia, the number of patients suffering from NTM surpasses what is seen in the U.S. There is one inhaled antibiotic approved for the treatment of refractory Mycobacterium avium complex (“MAC”). Current guideline-based approaches to treat NTM lung disease involve multi-drug regimens of antibiotics that may cause severe, long lasting side effects, and treatment can be as long as 18 months or more. Median survival for NTM MAC patients is approximately 13 years while median survival for patients with other variations of NTM is typically 4.6 years. The prevalence of human disease attributable to NTM has increased over the past two decades. In a study conducted between 2007 and 2016, researchers found that the prevalence of NTM in the U.S. is increasing at approximately 7.5% per year. M. abscessus treatment costs are estimated to be more than double that of MAC. In total, a 2015 publication by co-authors from several U.S. government departments stated that annual cases in 2014 cost the U.S. healthcare system approximately $1.7 billion. For this indication, we believe U.S. sales potential to be greater than $1 billion and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $2.5 billion.

In December 2020 we began a 12-week, multi-center, open-label clinical trial in Australia and we planintended to enroll approximately 20 adult patients with chronic refractory NTM lung disease. We received a grant of up to $2.17 million from the CFFCystic Fibrosis Foundation (“CFF”) to fund this study and advance the clinical development of inhaled NO to treat NTM pulmonary disease. The trial is enrolling both cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and non-CF patients infected with MAC, or M. abscessus.or any strain of NTM. The study consists of a run-in period followed by two treatment phases. The run-in period provides a baseline for the efficacy endpoints. The first treatment phase takes place over a two-week period and begins in the hospital setting where patients will be titrated from 150 ppm NO up to 250 ppm NO over several days. During this phase patients receive NO for 40 minutes, four times per day while MetHb levels are monitored. Patients are also trained to use LungFit® GO and subsequently discharged to complete the remaining portion of the two-week treatment period at their home at the highest tolerated NO concentration. For the second treatment phase, a 10-week maintenance phase, the administration is twice daily. The study is evaluating safety, quality of life, physical function, and bacterial load among other parameters.

 

We reported positive interim results in October 2021. At the time of data cutoff on September 6, 2021, eight subjects were successfully titrated up to 250 ppm NO in the hospital setting, and none required dose reductions during the subsequent at-home portion of the study. The mean age of subjects was 56.6 years (range: 22 – 73 years) with the majority female (87.5%), a distribution consistent with real-world NTM disease, and occurring at a higher rate in older adult women than men. 250 ppm NO was well-tolerated in all subjects with no study discontinuations or treatment-related serious adverse events observed. Methemoglobin and NO2 concentrations remained within acceptable ranges in all subjects during NO treatment, below the safety thresholds of 10% and 5 ppm, respectively.

We reported additional positive interim results at the American Thoracic Society International Conference 2022 (ATS 2022), which was held in San Francisco from May 13, 2022 through May 18, 2022. At the time of data cutoff on April 4, 2022, a total of 15 subjects were enrolled in the pilot study. The mean age of subjects was 62.1 years (range: 22 – 82 years) with the majority female (80%), a distribution consistent with real-world NTM disease. The data show that high concentration inhaled NO was well tolerated following a total of 2,323 inhalations self-administered at home with no treatment related discontinuations reported and overall high treatment compliance. All 15 subjects were successfully titrated to 250 ppm NO in the hospital setting, and none have required dose reductions during the subsequent at-home portion of the study. Methemoglobin and NO2 concentrations remained within acceptable ranges in all subjects during NO treatment, below the safety thresholds of 10% and 5 ppm, respectively. Patients are followed up for 12 weeks after the 12-week treatment period is completed and the last patient visit at the end of week 24 is expected to occur in August 2022. The totality of the data will be used to evaluate efficacy measures, including quality of life, physical function, and sputum bacteria as compared to baseline measurements. The study continues to enrollis no longer enrolling patients, and we anticipate reporting the complete efficacy and safety results later in the first half of calendar year 2022. If the trial is successful, we would anticipate commencing a pivotal study in the second half of calendar year 2023 or the first half of calendar year 2024.

 

The Company’sOur program in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”)COPD is in the preclinical stage and, we anticipate beginning a pilot studysubject to obtaining additional financing, is expected to enter clinical trials in calendar year 2022 or 2023.

UNO has shown anticancer properties in preclinical trials by eliciting an immune response from the host. We have released this preclinical data at several medical/scientific conferences showing the promise of delivering NO at concentrations of 20,000 ppm – 200,000 ppm directly to tumors. Results showed that local tumor ablation with NO conveyed anti-tumor immunity to the host. In our most recent releaseWe recently presented new in vivo and in vitro preclinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research (“AACR”) Annual Meeting 2022. The in vivo study assessed the mode of data, 8 of 11 mice treated withaction following a single administration5-minute gaseous NO (“gNO”) treatment provided data showing an effect on the primary tumor 14 days post treatment. These data showed that intratumoral injections of concentrations of gNO at 20,000 and 50,000 ppm led to increased recruitment of T cells, B cells, macrophages and dendrocytes to the primary tumor. An elevated number of T cells and B cells were also detected in the spleen and blood 21 days following gNO treatment. In addition, at the same timepoint, a marked reduction in the number of myeloid derived suppressor cells was seen in the spleen. Results from the in vitro study showed that exposure of six different cancer cell lines – including human ovarian and pancreatic and mouse lung, melanoma, colon, and breast– to UNO of gNO ranging from 10,000 ppm to 100,000 ppm for up to 10 minutes resulted in a dose-dependent cytotoxic response. The higher concentration doses of gNO led to near instant cell death, while the lower concentration doses required a longer exposure period to elicit cell death. Cell viability was assessed using two assays: XTT and clonogenic assay. After one minute of exposure to 25,000 ppm NO over five minutes were resistant to a subsequent tumor challenge and 11 of 11 mice treated with 50,000 ppm NO were resistant to a subsequent tumor challenge. Preclinical work will continue with a goal of beginning the enrollment of patientsgNO, less than 10% viability was observed in a first-in-human study in the first half of calendar year 2022.all cell lines.

 

COVID-19

 

The development of our product candidates and the commercialization of our approved product could be further disrupted and adversely affected by a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced significant delays in the supply chain for the LungFit® system due to the redundancy in parts and suppliers withfor ventilator manufacturing which has since been remedied. We continuously assess the impact that COVID-19 may have on our business plans and our ability to conduct the preclinical studies and clinical trials as well as on our reliance on third-party manufacturing and our supply chain. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid part or all of any impact from COVID-19 or its consequences if a resurgence occurs.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

 

A critical accounting policy and related estimates are both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 have been taken into consideration in preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our consolidated financial statements:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

We have not generated any revenue from the sale of products, andbut now that we do nothave obtained regulatory approval for LungFit® PH, we expect to generatebegin generating revenue from the sale of our products until certification or regulatory approval is received for our product candidates.in fiscal year 2023. We had an operating cash flow decrease of $6.3$6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021June 30, 2022 and we have experienced an accumulated loss of $103.6$134.6 million attributable to the stockholders of Beyond Air, Inc. as of December 31, 2021.since inception through June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $72.8 million and $10.0 million restricted cash of $92.7 million.cash. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022 will enable us to fund our development programs, operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least one year frominto the datefourth fiscal quarter of filing these financial statements.2024.

 

Our future capital needs and the adequacy of our available funds beyond one year from the date of filing these financial statements will depend on many factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the cost and time necessary for the development, preclinicalclinical studies and clinical trials and certification or regulatory approval of our other medical devices, indications as well as the commercial success of our firstapproved product and any product candidates that receive marketing approval by the FDA. We may be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities offerings or through strategic collaborationcollaborations and/or licensing agreements in order to fund operations until we are able to generate enough product or royalty revenues, if any. Such financingFinancing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our strategic objectives, results of operations and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

On April 2, 2020,February 4, 2022, we entered into the ATMa new At-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey,Truist Securities, Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co.Co, Inc. (the “2022 ATM”). Under the 2022 ATM, we may sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50 million, from time to time and at various prices. If shares of our common stock are sold, there is a 3% fee paid to the sales agent. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, there were no remaining fundswas a balance of $50 million available under the 2022 ATM.

 

On May 14, 2020, we entered into the $40 millionNew Stock Purchase Agreement with LPC, which replaced the former $20 million purchase agreement with LPC, dated August 10, 2018. The New Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of up to $40 million of our common stock, which we may sell from time to time in our sole discretion, to LPC over a period of 36 months, subject to the conditions and limitations in the New Stock Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, there was a balance of approximately $18.1 million available under the New Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

On February 4, 2022, we entered into a new ATM Offering Sales Agreement with Truist Securities, Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. Under the ATM, we may sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50 million, from time to time and at various prices.

Our ability to continue to operate beyond 12 months from the filingfourth fiscal quarter of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q2024 will be largely dependent upon the approval of our PMA for the PPHN medical device, the expected timing andsuccessful commercial acceptance of the launch of this device,LungFit® PH, as well as our obtaining partners in other parts of the world, and ourthe raising of additional funds to finance our activities until we are generating cash flow from operations. ThereFurther, there are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of our other product candidates.

 

There are numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our NO delivery system and we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with the completion of the research and development of our product candidates.

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

 the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the medical community and the global economy;
 the progress and costs of our preclinical studies, clinical trials and other research and development activities;
 the costs of commercializing the LungFit® system, if approved;system;
 the scope, prioritization and number of our clinical trials and other research and development programs;
 the costs and timing of obtaining certification or regulatory approval for our product candidates;
 the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
 the costs of, and timing for, strengthening our manufacturing agreements for production of sufficient clinical quantities of our product candidate;candidates;
 the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally;
 the costs of acquiring or undertaking the development and commercialization efforts for additional, future therapeutic applications of our product candidates;
 the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses; and
 any cost that we may incur under current and future in-and out-licensing arrangements relating to our product candidates.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of foreign currency exchange rates.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2021.June 30, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, we deployed NetSuite, an enterprise resource planning system, across several legal entities to support our financial reporting business operations software, enhance visibility centrally and continue to strengthen our control environment. The implementation of NetSuite resulted primarily in changes to reports, interfaces and IT dependent controls. Therefore, we have modified the design and documentation of internal control processes and procedures relating to the new systems to enhance existing internal controls. The system changes were undertaken as an ongoing business initiative to improve and enhance our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as described in the previous paragraph, there were no other changes made to our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
