−Removed: patent expense of approximately $110,000, an increase in shareholder relations expense of approximately $54,000 and an increase in corporate
−Removed: insurance expense of approximately $25,000.
−Removed: income decreased by approximately $12,000 to less than $1,000 in the three months ended April 30, 2021, from approximately $12,000 in
−Removed: the comparable prior year period as a result of a decrease in interest rates.
−Removed: Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
−Removed: net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, representing Wistar’s 5% ownership interest in Certainty’s net loss, was
−Removed: approximately $38,000 and $18,000, respectively, in the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.
−Removed: months ended April 30, 2021 compared with six months ended April 30, 2020
−Removed: the six months ended April 30, 2021, we recorded revenue of approximately $513,000 from one license agreement.
−Removed: The license agreement
−Removed: provided for a one-time, non-recurring, lump sum payment in exchange for a non-exclusive retroactive and future license, and covenant
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we have no further obligations with respect to the granted intellectual property
−Removed: rights, including no obligation to maintain or upgrade the technology, or provide future support or services.
−Removed: Accordingly, the performance
−Removed: obligations from this license agreement were satisfied and 100% of the revenue was recognized upon execution of the license agreement.
−Removed: As discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, as part of our legacy operations, the Company remains engaged
−Removed: in limited patent licensing activities which we do not expect to be a significant part of our ongoing operations or revenue.
−Removed: had no revenue during the six-month period ended April 30, 2020.
−Removed: Royalties, Contingent Legal Fees, Litigation and Licensing Expenses
−Removed: royalties, contingent legal fees, litigation and licensing expenses increased to approximately $385,000 in the six months ended April
−Removed: 30, 2021 from $-0- in the six months ended April 30, 2020.
−Removed: The increase was primarily due to the increase in related revenues.
−Removed: royalties and contingent legal fees are expensed in the period that the related revenues are recognized.
−Removed: Litigation and licensing expenses
−Removed: related to patent assertion, other than contingent legal fees, are expensed in the period incurred.
−Removed: and Development Expenses
−Removed: and development expenses incurred in the six months ended April 30, 2021 associated with each of our development programs consisted of
−Removed: approximately $910,000 for CAR-T therapeutics, approximately $630,000 for cancer vaccines, approximately $288,000 for anti-viral therapeutics
−Removed: and approximately $2,000 for cancer diagnostic.
−Removed: and development expenses are related to the development of our cancer therapeutics, vaccine and diagnostics programs and our anti-viral
−Removed: drug program, and decreased by approximately $869,000 to approximately $1,850,000 in the six months ended April 30, 2021, from approximately
−Removed: $2,719,000 in the six months ended April 30, 2020.
−Removed: The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to a decrease
−Removed: in outside research and development expense related to our cancer diagnostics program of approximately $816,000 and decreases in employee
−Removed: compensation and related costs, other than stock option compensation expense, of approximately $394,000 and employee stock option compensation
−Removed: expense of approximately $194,000, all due to the suspension of development of our cancer diagnostics program.
−Removed: These expense reductions
−Removed: were offset by an increase in research and development expenses related to our other development programs of approximately $428,000 and
−Removed: an increase in consultant expense of approximately $51,000.
−Removed: and Administrative Expenses
−Removed: and administrative expenses increased by approximately $367,000 to approximately $2,948,000 in the six months ended April 30, 2021, from
−Removed: approximately $2,581,000 in the six months ended April 30, 2020.
−Removed: The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due
−Removed: to non-recurring income in the prior year period resulting from the discharge in January 2020 of a disputed liability of approximately
−Removed: $337,000 upon the expiration of the vendor’s statutory right to pursue collection of the disputed liability, an increase in patent
−Removed: expense of approximately $186,000, an increase in corporate insurance expense of approximately $47,000, an increase in directors compensation
−Removed: of approximately $43,000, offset by a decrease in employee compensation and related costs, other than stock option compensation expense,
−Removed: of approximately $248,000.
−Removed: income decreased by approximately $24,000 to approximately $1,000 in the six months ended April 30, 2021, from approximately $25,000
−Removed: in the comparable prior year period as a result of a decrease in interest rates.
−Removed: Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
−Removed: net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, representing Wistar’s 5% ownership interest in Certainty’s net loss, was
−Removed: approximately $62,000 and $42,000, respectively, in the six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.
−Removed: AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
−Removed: primary sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
−Removed: on currently available information as of June 10, 2021, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
−Removed: expected cash flows will be sufficient to fund our activities for at least the next twelve months.
−Removed: We have implemented a business model
−Removed: that conserves funds by collaborating with third parties to develop our technologies.
−Removed: However, our projections of future cash needs and
−Removed: cash flows may differ from actual results.
−Removed: If current cash on hand, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash that may be generated
−Removed: from our business operations are insufficient to continue to operate our business, or if we elect to invest in or acquire a company or
−Removed: companies or new technology or technologies that are synergistic with or complementary to our technologies, we may be required to obtain
−Removed: more working capital.
−Removed: During the six months ended April 30, 2021, we raised approximately $20,292,000, net of expenses, through a public
−Removed: offering in which we sold an aggregate of 4,285,715 shares of common stock and approximately $10,834,000, net of expenses, through our
−Removed: at-the-market equity program in which we sold an aggregate of 2,806,410 shares of common stock.
−Removed: Under our at-the-market equity program
−Removed: which is currently effective and may remain available for us to use in the future, as of April 30, 2021, we may sell an additional approximately
−Removed: $29.6 million of common stock.
−Removed: We may seek to obtain working capital during our fiscal year 2021 or thereafter through sales of our equity
−Removed: securities or through bank credit facilities or public or private debt from various financial institutions where possible.
−Removed: be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
−Removed: If we do identify sources for additional funding,
−Removed: the sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in dilution to our stockholders.
−Removed: We can give no assurance that
−Removed: we will generate sufficient cash flows in the future to satisfy our liquidity requirements or sustain future operations, or that other
−Removed: sources of funding, such as sales of equity or debt, would be available or would be approved by our security holders, if needed, on favorable
−Removed: terms or at all.
−Removed: If we fail to obtain additional working capital as and when needed, such failure could have a material adverse impact
−Removed: on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
−Removed: Furthermore, such lack of funds may inhibit our ability to respond to
−Removed: competitive pressures or unanticipated capital needs, or may force us to reduce operating expenses, which would significantly harm the
−Removed: business and development of operations.
−Removed: the six months ended April 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,412,000.
−Removed: Cash used in investing activities
−Removed: was approximately $7,724,000, resulting from the purchase of short-term investments of approximately $10,399,000, which was offset by
−Removed: the proceeds on maturities of short-term investments of approximately $2,640,000 and the proceeds from the sale of equipment of approximately
−Removed: Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $31,422,000, resulting from net proceeds of approximately $20,292,000
−Removed: from a public offering of 4,285,715 shares of common stock, the sale of 2,806,410 shares of common stock in an at-the-market equity offering
−Removed: of approximately $10,834,000, proceeds from exercise of stock options of approximately $294,000 and proceeds from the sale of common
−Removed: stock pursuant to employee stock purchase plan of approximately $3,000.
−Removed: As a result, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments
−Removed: at April 30, 2021 increased approximately $29,046,000 to approximately $38,103,000 from approximately $9,057,000 at the end of fiscal
−Removed: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
−Removed: in the United States of America.
−Removed: In preparing these financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have
−Removed: a significant impact on amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates
−Removed: on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
−Removed: Actual results could differ
−Removed: materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
−Removed: On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments
−Removed: and estimates and make changes accordingly.
−Removed: believe that, of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report
−Removed: on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, the following accounting policies require our most difficult, subjective or
−Removed: complex judgments:
−Removed: revenue has been derived solely from technology licensing and the sale of patented technologies.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized upon transfer
−Removed: of control of intellectual property rights and satisfaction of other contractual performance obligations to licensees in an amount that
−Removed: reflects the consideration we expect to receive.
−Removed: follow the accounting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 606 we are required to make certain judgments and estimates in connection with the accounting for revenue.
−Removed: judgments and estimates may include determining the existence of a contract and identifying each party’s rights and obligations
−Removed: to transfer goods and services, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price and allocating
−Removed: the transaction price to separate performance obligations, estimating the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining
−Removed: whether a promise to grant a license is distinct from other promised goods or services and evaluating whether a license transfers to
−Removed: a customer at a point in time or over time.
−Removed: revenue arrangements provide for the payment, within 30 days of execution of the agreement, of contractually determined, one-time, paid-up
−Removed: license fees in settlement of litigation and in consideration for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technologies
−Removed: owned or controlled by the Company.
−Removed: These arrangements typically include some combination of the following:
−Removed: (i) the grant of a non-exclusive,
−Removed: retroactive and future license to manufacture and/or sell products covered by patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company,
−Removed: (ii) a covenant-not-to-sue, (iii) the release of the licensee from certain claims, and (iv) the dismissal of any pending litigation.
−Removed: In such instances, the intellectual property rights granted have been perpetual in nature, extending until the expiration of the related
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, we have no further obligations with respect to the granted intellectual property
−Removed: rights, including no obligation to maintain or upgrade the technology, or provide future support or services.
−Removed: Licensees obtained control
−Removed: of the intellectual property rights they have acquired upon execution of the agreement.
−Removed: Accordingly, the performance obligations from
−Removed: these agreements were satisfied and 100% of the revenue was recognized upon the execution of the agreements.
−Removed: compensation cost for service-based stock options granted to employees, directors and consultants is measured at the grant date, based
−Removed: on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
−Removed: requisite service period (the vesting period of the stock option) which is one to four years.
−Removed: For employee options vesting if the trading
−Removed: price of the Company’s common stock achieves certain price targets we use a Monte Carlo Simulation in estimating the fair value
−Removed: at grant date and recognize compensation cost over the implied service period.
−Removed: restricted stock awards vesting upon achievement of a price target of our common stock we use a Monte Carlo Simulation in estimating
−Removed: the fair value at grant date and recognize compensation cost over the implied service period (median time to vest).
−Removed: Black-Scholes pricing model and the Monte Carlo Simulation we use to estimate fair value requires valuation assumptions of expected term,
−Removed: expected volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield.
−Removed: The expected term of stock options represents the weighted
−Removed: average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.
−Removed: For employees we use the simplified method, which is a weighted
−Removed: average of the vesting term and contractual term, to determine expected term.
−Removed: The simplified method was adopted since we do not believe
−Removed: that historical experience is representative of future performance because of the impact of the changes in our operations and the change
−Removed: in terms from historical options.
−Removed: For consultants we use the contract term for expected term.
−Removed: Under the Black-Scholes pricing model,
−Removed: we estimated the expected volatility of our shares of common stock based upon the historical volatility of our share price over a period
−Removed: of time equal to the expected term of the grants.
−Removed: We estimated the risk-free interest rate based on the implied yield available on the
−Removed: applicable grant date of a U.S.
−Removed: Treasury note with a term equal to the expected term of the underlying grants.
−Removed: We made the dividend yield
−Removed: assumption based on our history of not paying dividends and our expectation not to pay dividends in the future.
−Removed: will reconsider use of the Black-Scholes pricing model and the Monte Carlo Simulation if additional information becomes available in
−Removed: the future that indicates another model would be more appropriate.
−Removed: If factors change and we employ different assumptions in future periods,
−Removed: the compensation expense that we record may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
−Removed: OF RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
−Removed: do not believe that any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
−Removed: financial statements.
+Added: Patent Licensing
+Added: Operating costs and expenses
+Added: excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense is the measurement the chief operating decision-maker uses in managing the enterprise.
