| BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company has incurred losses in every year since inception. Operations of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, uncertainty of drug candidate development; technological uncertainty; uncertainty regarding patents and proprietary rights; uncertainty in obtaining the FDA approval in the United States and regulatory approval in other jurisdictions; marketing or sales capability or experience; uncertainty in getting adequate payor coverage and reimbursement; dependence on key personnel; compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company’s drug candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance reporting capabilities. The Company’s drug candidates are in various stages of development. DANYELZA received accelerated approval by the FDA in November 2020, but there can be no assurance that the Company’s other research and development efforts will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development and commercialization efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will become profitable. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $473,348,000 as of June 30, 2024 and $457,470,000 as of December 31, 2023. Through June 30, 2024, the Company has funded the operations primarily through proceeds from sales of shares of the Company’s common stock, including the initial public offering in September 2018 and the Company’s subsequent public offerings in November 2019 and February 2021, as well as additional funding from the sales of DANYELZA and from the sale of the Company’s Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”) obtained upon FDA approval of DANYELZA. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $77,806,000 and $78,637,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company expects that the cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements as currently planned through at least the next 12 months from the issuance of such financial statements. The Company may raise additional capital to fund future operations through the sale of the Company’s securities, incurring debt, entering into licensing or collaboration agreements with partners, grants or other sources of financing. These potential financing sources are in addition to the successful commercialization of DANYELZA and our product candidates, for which the Company may obtain regulatory approval and marketing authorization. The Company’s commercialization strategy may include working with a collaborator or distributor. Sufficient funds may not be available to the Company on attractive terms or at all when needed from equity, debt or other financing. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing from these or other sources when needed, it will likely be necessary to take other actions to enhance the Company’s liquidity position which may include significantly reducing the rate of spending through delaying or scaling back operations or suspending certain research and development programs and other operational programs in addition to other measures. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 270-10 and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of a normal recurring nature) necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. |
