SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions in this report.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on December 18, 2018, including, among other things, risks associated with:

	·	the timing and the success of the design of the clinical trials and planned clinical trials of our lead product candidate, ONS-5010;
	·	whether the results of our clinical trials will be sufficient to support domestic or global regulatory approvals;
	·	our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for ONS-5010 in the United States and other markets if we successfully complete clinical trials;
	·	our expectations regarding the potential market size and the size of the patient populations for our product candidates, if approved, for commercial use;
	·	our ability to fund our working capital requirements;
	·	the rate and degree of market acceptance of our current and future product candidates;
	·	the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our business and product candidates;
	·	developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
	·	our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional funding;
	·	our expectations regarding government and third-party payor coverage and reimbursement;
	·	our ability to compete in the markets we serve; and
	·	the factors that may impact our financial results.

These risks are not exhaustive. Additional factors could harm our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Organization and Description of Business

Outlook Therapeutics, Inc., (formerly Oncobiologics, Inc.), (“Outlook” or the “Company”) was incorporated in New Jersey on January 5, 2010, started operations in July 2011, reincorporated in Delaware by merging with and into a Delaware corporation in October 2015 and changed its name to “Outlook Therapeutics, Inc.” in November 2018. The Company is a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing ONS-5010, a complex monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) therapeutic for various ophthalmic indications. The Company is based in Cranbury, New Jersey.

2.	Liquidity

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $244.4 million as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had substantial indebtedness that included $6.7 million of senior secured notes that mature on December 22, 2019, $3.6 million unsecured notes that were due on demand as of such date, and $1.0 million of unsecured notes that were also due on demand as of such date but which are subject to a forbearance agreement through March 7, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On November 30, 2018, the Company received approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell approximately $3.7 million of its unused New Jersey net operating losses (“NOLs”) and research and development tax credits (“R&D credits”). The Company received $3.4 million of proceeds from the sale of the New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits, of which approximately $0.8 million and $2.6 million was received in April 2019 and July 2019, respectively.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of June 30, 2019 and the proceeds from the sale of New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits received in July 2019 of $2.6 million will be sufficient to fund its operations into December 2019, excluding any unscheduled repayment of debt. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations in the future and to commercially develop its product candidates. Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to: payments from potential strategic research and development partners, licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, private placements of equity and/or debt securities, sale of its development stage product candidates to third parties and public offerings of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.

The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above; (ii) the Company’s ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies; (iii) the success of its research and development; (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately; (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s proposed future products.

3.	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2019 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2019. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 18, 2018.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Reverse stock-split

On March 15, 2019, the Company amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to implement a one-for-eight reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company adjusted the share amounts under its employee incentive plans, outstanding options, restricted stock units and common stock warrant agreements with third parties. The disclosure of common shares and per common share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average common shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include warrants, stock options and non-vested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards using the treasury stock method. The diluted loss per common share calculation is further affected by an add-back of change in fair value of warrant liability to the numerator under the assumption that the change in fair value of warrant liability would not have been incurred if the warrants had been converted into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

	Three months ended June 30,						Nine months ended June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(4,599,012	)	$	(9,084,534	)	$	(25,781,326	)	$	(35,369,093	)
Common stock outstanding (weighted average)		23,007,077			4,317,502			14,787,010			3,552,853
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.20	)	$	(2.10	)	$	(1.74	)	$	(9.96	)

The following potentially dilutive securities (in common stock equivalents) have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, as they would be antidilutive:

	As of June 30,
	2019		2018
Series A convertible preferred stock		-		986,644
Series A-1 convertible preferred stock		1,225,172		-
Convertible senior secured notes		767,605		-
Convertible unsecured notes		149,573		-
Performance-based stock units		16,131		18,868
Restricted stock units		3,750		10,410
Stock options		605,452		132,759
Common stock warrants		16,067,923		5,661,561

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) and changed its revenue recognition policies accordingly. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about:

Contracts with customers - including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations).

Significant judgments and changes in judgments - determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.

Certain assets - assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

The Company’s arrangements fall under ASC 808, Collaborations (“ASC 808”). ASC 808 does not address recognition or measurement matters but prescribes that entities look to other GAAP by analogy, namely ASU 2014-09. As such, the Company completed an analysis of existing contracts with the Company’s collaboration partners and assessed the differences in accounting for such contracts under ASU 2014-09 compared with current revenue accounting standards. The Company previously recognized substantive milestones in the period the milestones were achieved but ASU 2014-09 prescribes that those milestones are a form of variable consideration which the Company will recognize over the estimated performance period.

The Company adopted the new accounting standard utilizing the modified retrospective method, and, therefore, no adjustments were made to amounts in its prior period financial statements. The Company recorded the cumulative effect of adopting the standard as an adjustment to increase accumulated deficit by $3.6 million. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company would have recognized $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of collaboration revenues under revenue recognition guidance in effect during fiscal 2018 prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in July 2018 with ASU 2018-10 and in August 2018 with ASU 2018-11. ASC 842 supersedes the current accounting for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and eliminates the required use of bright-line tests in current U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019), and interim periods thereafter. Earlier application is permitted for all entities, however the Company did not early adopt. The new standard must be adopted using either the modified retrospective approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or the optional alternative approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the standard’s effective date. The Company has arrangements currently classified as operating leases which will be recorded as a right of use asset and corresponding liability on the balance sheet and is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which removes and modifies some existing disclosure requirements and adds others. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and removes the requirement to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

4.	Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Outlook Therapeutics, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	June 30, 2019
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Liabilities
Warrant liability	$	-	$	-	$	428,099

	September 30, 2018
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Liabilities
Warrant liability	$	-	$	-	$	1,227,225

The table presented below is a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 valuation for the warrant liability for the nine months ended June 30, 2019:

Balance at October 1, 2018	$	1,227,225
Senior note warrants modification		1,466,710	(i)
Change in fair value		(2,265,836	)
Balance at June 30, 2019	$	428,099

(i)

In connection with the November 2018 private placement to BioLexis Pte. Ltd. (“BioLexis”), the Company reduced the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes (the “Senior Note Warrants”) from $24.00 to $12.00 and extended the expiration of the Senior Note Warrants by three years. Such Senior Note Warrants now expire eight years from their initial exercise date.

The Senior Note Warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes (see Note 7) are classified as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as the Senior Note Warrants include cash settlement features at the option of the holders under certain circumstances. The warrant liability is revalued each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised or expire. The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

	June 30,			September 30,
	2019			2018
Risk-free interest rate		1.79	%		2.90	%
Remaining contractual life of warrant		5.63	years		3.39	years
Expected volatility		88	%		82	%
Annual dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Fair value of common stock	$	2.08	per share	$	7.84	per share

	$	13,921,160		$	18,489,976

Depreciation and amortization expense was $833,387 and $822,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $ 2,473,005 and $2,229,947 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, $ 8,002,538 and at September 30, 2018, $7,953,856 represents laboratory equipment under capital leases and the Company’s corporate office that is classified as a capital lease. The Company’s corporate office lease matures in February 2028. The term of the equipment leases are between 12 and 36 months and qualify as capital leases. The equipment leases bear interest between 4.0% and 19.4% and the effective interest rate on the corporate office lease is 43.9%. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, $2,199,397 and $1,619,741, respectively, of accumulated amortization related to capital leases.

The Company wrote off certain construction in progress and laboratory equipment with a carrying amount of $50,926 and $ 2,962,064 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, due to the Company changing its operations to focus solely on developing and commercializing ONS-5010. The charge was recorded to research and development on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company determined that the carrying amount of these assets was not recoverable and was less than the fair value less the cost to sell.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

In September 2017, the Company entered into a purchase and exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with two existing investors and holders of its senior secured notes (the “Exchanging Noteholders”), pursuant to which the Exchanging Noteholders exchanged $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes for 1,500,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (“Series B Convertible”) and $41,507 of accrued interest on such exchanged senior secured notes in October 2017. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $1,252,353 in connection with the exchange and represents the excess fair value of the Series B Convertible issued over the net carrying amount of the debt and accrued interest.

In November 2018, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of its $13.5 million senior secured notes to extend the maturity of the senior secured notes until December 22, 2019, in exchange for making several payments of principal and interest through August 31, 2019, as well as subject to meeting additional capital raising commitments that the Company met in April 2019 through the completed public offering with gross proceeds of $28.4 million. In addition, the Company agreed to make the senior secured notes convertible into common stock at a price of $8.9539 per share and reduced the exercise price of warrants to purchase 485,245 shares of common stock held by the senior secured noteholders from $24.00 per share to $12.00 per share. The increase in the fair value of the warrants of $1.5 million due to the modification was recorded as additional debt discount.

On June 28, 2019, the Company repaid $1.8 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes and entered into a Third Note Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) with the holders of the remaining $6.7 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes. Under the Third Amendment, the maturity date of the senior secured notes was amended to December 22, 2019, and the scheduled payments of principal and interest on or prior to each of June 30, 2019; July 31, 2019; and August 31, 2019 were removed. The Company also agreed to increase the interest rate payable on such senior secured notes to 12.0% per annum from 5.0% per annum. The Third Amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.

During February and March 2019, senior secured notes with a carrying amount of $400,575 and accrued interest of $1,393 were converted into 50,394 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repaid a total of $6.4 million of principal and $1.3 million of accrued interest of such notes. As of June 30, 2019, the senior secured notes remain classified as a current liability because they mature in less than 12 months.

Loss on extinguishment of senior secured notes recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $423,686. Interest expense on the senior secured notes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $526,615 and $500,012, respectively, and $1,689,533 and $1,486,737 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

8.	Stockholder Notes

On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (the "Lender"). Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Lender purchased two stockholder notes issued by the Company previously in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 with an aggregate outstanding balance as of March 7, 2019 of $1,947,133 including accrued interest. The stockholder notes were accruing interest at the rate of 2.5% per month. The Lender agreed to refrain and forbear from bringing any action to collect under the stockholder notes until March 7, 2020 and to reduce the interest rates currently in effect to 12.0% per annum simple interest during such forbearance period. The Company also agreed to, at Lender's election, repay or exchange the stockholder notes (or portions thereof) for shares of the Company’s common stock at an exchange rate of $13.44 per share. The Agreement was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and the Company recorded a loss of $183,554 during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

9.	Commitments

Leases

In August 2018, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement effective September 1, 2018, to terminate the lease for office and laboratory space in Cranbury, New Jersey. In consideration for the termination of the lease, the Company agreed to make payments to the landlord totaling up to $5.8 million, which includes (i) $287,615 upon execution of the termination agreement, (ii) $50,000 per month for up to 30 months, commencing September 1, 2018, and (iii) a $4.0 million payment, in any event, on or before February 1, 2021. The Company and landlord agreed that the $174,250 security deposit will be used to pay the 7th, 8th, 9th and a portion of the 10th monthly payments. The Company may pay the final $4.0 million payment at any time, whereupon the Company’s obligation to make the remaining monthly payments terminates.

Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Common stock

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,680,965 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross cash proceeds of $20.0 million ($19.8 million net of issuance costs) pursuant to the November 5, 2018 BioLexis private placement agreement.

In April 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of its common stock, 15-month warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of common stock for approximately $26.2 million in net proceeds after payment of fees, expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions. The shares of common stock and the warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately. The warrants are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $2.90 per share.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 446 and 102,625 shares of common stock, respectively, upon the vesting of RSUs.

Convertible preferred stock

In September 2017, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with BioLexis, pursuant to which BioLexis agreed to purchase, in a private placement (the “Initial Private Placement”), $25.0 million of the Company’s newly-created voting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Convertible”), and warrants (the “BioLexis Warrants”) to acquire 2,093,750 shares of common stock. In September 2017, the Company completed the initial sale of 32,628 shares of Series A Convertible to BioLexis for $3,262,800 in cash. In October 2017, the Company completed the sale of the remaining 217,372 shares of Series A Convertible and the BioLexis Warrants to BioLexis in the Initial Private Placement, for $21,737,200 in cash.

The Series A Convertible was initially convertible into 4,724,493 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing an effective conversion rate of $5.28 per share, which represented a discount to the market value of the Company’s common stock as of September 7, 2017 and October 31, 2017 (on which dates, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $7.20 and $10.08 per share, respectively). In connection with the second closing of the Series A Convertible in October 2017, the Company issued the BioLexis Warrants, which have a term of 8-years and an initial exercise price of $7.20 per share. The proceeds from the second closing of the Series A Convertible were allocated among the Series A Convertible and the BioLexis Warrants based on their relative fair values. As a result of the discount to the market value and the allocation of a portion of the proceeds to the BioLexis Warrants, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion charge of $15,355,019, which represents the in-the-money value of the conversion rate as of the date of sale.

The Series A Convertible accrued dividends at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly, payable quarterly at the Company’s option in cash or in kind in additional shares of Series A Convertible, although the initial dividends payable on the shares of Series A Convertible issued in September 2017, while accruing from issuance, was payable in December 2017. The Series A Convertible was also entitled to dividends on an as-if-converted basis in the same form as any dividends actually paid on shares of common stock or other securities. The initial conversion rate was subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other recapitalization affecting the common stock.

In June 2018, BioLexis converted 208,836 shares of Series A Convertible into 3,946,577 shares of common stock, and in July 2018 exchanged its remaining shares of Series A Convertible for newly created Series A-1 (as defined below). As of such exchange, there were no longer any shares of Series A Convertible issued and outstanding.

Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

A total of 200,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1”) have been authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Designation of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. The shares of Series A-1 have a stated value of $100.00 per share, and rank senior to all junior securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).

The Series A-1 accrue dividends at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly, payable quarterly at the Company’s option in cash or in kind in additional shares of Series A-1. The Series A-1 is also entitled to dividends on an as-if-converted basis in the same form as any dividends actually paid on shares of Common Stock or other securities. The initial conversion rate is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other recapitalization affecting the Common Stock. The holders of the Series A-1 have the right to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders on an as-converted basis, voting with the Company’s other stockholders as a single class. In addition, without the prior written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A-1, the Company may not take certain actions, including amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or issuing securities ranking pari passu or senior to the Series A-1.

At June 30, 2019, 64,831 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible into 1,225,172 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 4,628 shares of Series A-1 Convertible to settle the related dividends that are due on a quarterly basis.

The terms of the Series A-1 distinguish between certain liquidation events (such as a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company) and “deemed” liquidation events (such as a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, various merger and reorganization transactions, being delisted from Nasdaq, and the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the senior secured notes), in each case as defined in the Certificate of Designation. In the event of a liquidation (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the liquidation preference payable equals the sum of (A) 550% of the Series A-1 stated value per share plus (B) an amount equal to (x) 550% of any accrued, but unpaid, preferred dividends (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) plus (y) any unpaid participating dividends (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). In the case of a deemed liquidation event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the multiplier is increased to 600%.

The Series A-1 is convertible at any time at the option of the holder based on the then applicable conversion rate. If conversion is in connection with a liquidation, the holder is entitled to receive 550% of the number of shares of common stock issuable based upon the then applicable conversion rate. In the event of a deemed liquidation event, the multiplier is increased to 600%.

Additionally, the holder may irrevocably require the Company to redeem the Series A-1 in the event of a deemed liquidation event for the sum of (A) 600% of the Series A-1 stated value per share plus (B) an amount equal to (x) 600% of any accrued, but unpaid, preferred dividends plus (y) any unpaid participating dividends, although such redemption may not be made without the consent of the senior secured noteholders if such notes are outstanding at the time of any such redemption.

The shares of Series A-1 have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exchange of the Series A-1 for the shares of Series A held by the Investor was made in reliance on Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, without general solicitation or advertising.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Concurrent with completing the sale of Series A Convertible in October 2017, the Noteholders exchanged $1,500,000 in aggregate principal borrowings and $41,507 in accrued interest for 1,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible. The Series B Convertible were convertible into 264,084 shares of common stock. The exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, See Note 7. During May and June 2018, the Noteholders converted all 1,500,000 shares of Series B Convertible into 264,084 shares of common stock. Accordingly, there are no longer any shares of Series B Convertible issued and outstanding.

Overview

We are a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing ONS-5010, a complex, technically challenging and commercially attractive monoclonal antibody, or mAb, for various ophthalmic indications. Our goal is to launch ONS-5010 as the first, and only, approved bevacizumab in the United States, Europe, Japan and other markets for the treatment of wet age related macular degeneration, or wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, or DME, and branch retinal vein occlusion, or BRVO.

ONS-5010 is a mAb therapeutic product candidate that was reviewed at a successful end of Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, conducted in 2018. Our investigational new drug, or IND, application was filed with, and accepted by, the FDA in the first quarter of calendar 2019. We are currently enrolling patients in two Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating ONS-5010 against ranibizumab (Lucentis) for wet AMD. Enrollment in the NORSE 1 study (previously referred to as ONS-5010-001) is nearly complete with 59 of the planned 60 patients enrolled to date, all in Australia. NORSE 2, the second of the two Phase 3 studies (previously referred to as ONS-5010-002) has been initiated and began enrolling wet AMD patients in July 2019. NORSE 2 is expected to enroll a total of at least 220 patients and will be conducted in the United States. The endpoint for both studies is a mean increase in baseline visual acuity at 11 months for ONS-5010 dosed on a monthly basis compared to Lucentis dosed using the alternative PIER clinical trial dosing regimen of three monthly doses followed by quarterly dosing.

Currently, the cancer drug Avastin (bevacizumab) is used off-label for the treatment of wet AMD and other retina diseases such as DME and BRVO even though Avastin has not been approved by regulatory authorities for use in these diseases. If the ONS-5010 clinical program is successful, it will support our plans to submit for regulatory approval in multiple markets in 2020 including the United States, Europe and Japan. Because there are no approved bevacizumab products for the treatment of retinal diseases in such major markets, we are developing ONS-5010 as an innovative therapy and not using the biosimilar drug development pathway that would normally be required if Avastin were an approved drug for the targeted diseases. If approved, we believe ONS-5010 has potential to mitigate risks associated with off-label use of Avastin or other drugs. Off label use of Avastin is currently estimated to account for at least 50% of all wet AMD prescriptions in the United States.

Through June 30, 2019, we have funded substantially all of our operations with $241.5 million in proceeds from the sale and issuance of our equity and debt securities. We have also received $29.0 million pursuant to our collaboration and licensing agreements.

On November 30, 2018, we received approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell approximately $3.7 million of our unused New Jersey net operating losses, or NOLs, and research and development tax credits, or R&D credits. We received $3.4 million of proceeds from the sale of the New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits in April 2019 ($0.8 million) and July 2019 ($2.6 million).

In April 2019, we completed an underwritten public offering of 10,340,000 shares of our common stock, 15-month warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of our common stock at a combined public offering price of $2.75 per share and accompanying warrants. The shares of common stock and the warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately. The warrants were exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $2.90 per share. We received approximately $26.2 million in net proceeds from the public offering after payment of fees, expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions.

In June 2019, we redeemed approximately $1.8 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of our senior secured notes and entered into a third note amendment with the holders of the remaining $6.7 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of such notes. Under the third amendment, we amended the maturity date of the senior secured notes to December 22, 2019, and removed the scheduled payments of principal and interest of approximately $5.0 million that were previously to have occurred in June, July and August 2019. We also agreed to increase the interest rate payable on such senior secured notes to 12.0% per annum from 5.0% per annum.

We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2019 of $244.4 million. As of June 30, 2019, we had substantial indebtedness that included $6.7 million of senior secured notes that that mature on December 22, 2019, $3.6 million unsecured notes that are due on demand, and $1.0 million of unsecured notes that are due on demand but are subject to a forbearance agreement through March 7, 2020. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our planned future operations, commence clinical trials, receive approval for and commercialize ONS-5010, or to develop other product candidates. We plan to finance our future operations with a combination of proceeds from potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, the issuance of equity securities, and the issuance of additional debt, potential collaborations and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of ONS-5010 or any other current or future product candidates. If we are unable to secure adequate additional funding, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Our current cash resources of $14.0 million as of June 30, 2019, and the proceeds from the sale of our remaining New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits received in July 2019 of $2.6 million, are expected to fund our operations into December 2019, excluding any unscheduled repayment of debt. To provide additional working capital, we continue to engage in active discussions with global and regional pharmaceutical companies for licensing and/or co-development rights to ONS-5010. If we are not successful in raising additional capital or entering into one or more licensing and/or co-development rights agreements, we may be required to, among other things, modify our clinical trial plans for ONS-5010 in additional indications, make reductions in our workforce, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

We do not have any products approved for sale and we have only generated revenue from our collaboration agreements. We have incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception and there is no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations, and if achieved, that profitable operations will be sustained. Our net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $24.4 million. In addition, development activities, clinical and preclinical testing and commercialization of our product candidates will require significant additional financing.

Collaboration, License and Strategic Partnership Agreements

From time to time, we enter into collaboration and license agreements for the research and development, manufacture and/or commercialization of our products and/or product candidates. These agreements generally provide for non-refundable upfront license fees, development and commercial performance milestone payments, cost sharing, royalty payments and/or profit sharing.

MTTR, LLC — ONS 5010

In February 2018, we entered into a strategic partnership agreement with MTTR, LLC, or MTTR, to advise on regulatory, clinical and commercial strategy and assist in obtaining approval of ONS-5010, our bevacizumab therapeutic product candidate for ophthalmic indications. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid MTTR a $58,333 monthly consulting fee through December 2018. Beginning January 2019, the monthly fee increased to $105,208 per month, and then, after launch of ONS-5010 in the United States, will increase to $170,833 per month (the amount of which is reduced by 50% in the event net sales of ONS-5010 are below a certain threshold million per year). We also agreed to pay MTTR a tiered percentage of the net profits of ONS-5010 ranging in the low- to mid-teens, with the ability to credit monthly fees paid to MTTR. In March 2018, we amended the MTTR agreement and agreed to pay a one-time fee of $268,553 to MTTR by September 2020 if certain regulatory milestones are achieved earlier than anticipated.

In June 2019, we entered into a further amendment of our strategic partnership agreement with MTTR pursuant to which we increased the aggregate monthly payments to MTTR under the existing agreement from $105,208 to $170,724 through December 2019 by adding an additional monthly retainer of $115,916, and an offset of $50,000 to the existing monthly retainer while the additional monthly retainer is in effect. MTTR earned an aggregate $573,983 and $1,154,894 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which includes monthly consulting fees and expense reimbursement.

Selexis SA

In October 2011, we entered into a research license agreement with Selexis SA, or Selexis, whereby we acquired a non-exclusive license to conduct research internally or in collaboration with third parties to develop recombinant proteins from cell lines created in mammalian cells using the Selexis expression technology, or the Selexis Technology. The original research license had a three-year term, but on October 9, 2014, it was extended for an additional three-year term through October 9, 2017, and then a limited scope license was extended for one more year through October 9, 2018. We may sublicense our rights with Selexis’ prior written consent but are prohibited from making commercial use of the Selexis Technology or the resultant recombinant proteins comprising our product candidates in humans, or from filing an investigational new drug, absent a commercial license agreement with Selexis covering the particular product candidate developed under the research license. In connection with the entry into the research license, we paid Selexis an initial fee and agreed to make additional annual license maintenance payments of the same amount for each of the three years that the research license agreement term was extended and for a pro rata amount for the most current one-year license extension that expired on October 9, 2018. As such, we are no longer using the Selexis Technology in our research.

Selexis also granted us a non-transferrable option to obtain a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide commercial license under the Selexis Technology to manufacture, or have manufactured, a recombinant protein produced by a cell line developed using the Selexis Technology for clinical testing and commercial sale. We exercised this option in April 2013 and entered into three commercial license agreements with Selexis for our ONS-3010, ONS-1045 (which covers ONS-5010) and ONS-1050 product candidates. We paid an upfront licensing fee to Selexis for each commercial license and also agreed to pay a fixed milestone payment for each licensed product. In addition, we are required to pay a single-digit royalty on a final product-by-final product and country-by-country basis, based on worldwide net sales of such final products by us or any of our affiliates or sub-licensees during the royalty term. At any time during the term, we have the right to terminate our royalty payment obligation by providing written notice to Selexis and paying Selexis a royalty termination fee.

As of June 30, 2019, we have paid Selexis an aggregate of approximately $0.4 million under the commercial license agreements.

Components of our Results of Operations

Collaboration Revenue

To date, we have derived revenue only from activities pursuant to our emerging market collaboration and licensing agreements related to our inactive biosimilar development program. We have not generated any revenue from commercial product sales. For the foreseeable future, we expect all of our revenue, if any, will be generated from our collaboration and licensing agreements. If any of our product candidates currently under development are approved for commercial sale, we may generate revenue from product sales, or alternatively, we may choose to select a collaborator to commercialize our product candidates.

On October 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09, and changed our revenue recognition policies accordingly. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Our arrangements fall under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 808, Collaborations, or ASC 808. ASC 808 does not address recognition or measurement matters but prescribes that entities look to other GAAP by analogy, namely ASU 2014-09. As such, we completed an analysis of existing contracts with our collaboration partners and assessed the differences in accounting for such contracts under ASU 2014-09 compared with current revenue accounting standards. We previously recognized substantive milestones in the period the milestones were achieved, but ASU 2014-09 prescribes that those milestones are a form of variable consideration and should be recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which results in such amounts being recognized over the estimated performance period. We adopted the new accounting standard utilizing the modified retrospective method, and recorded the cumulative effect of adopting the standard as an adjustment to increase accumulated deficit by $3.6 million.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

manufacturing scale-up expenses and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials and commercial materials, including manufacturing validation batches;

outsourced professional scientific development services;

employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;

payments made under a third-party assignment agreement, under which we acquired intellectual property;

expenses relating to regulatory activities, including filing fees paid to regulatory agencies;

laboratory materials and supplies used to support our research activities; and

allocated expenses, utilities and other facility-related costs.

The successful development of ONS-5010 and any of our other product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from ONS-5010 or any of our other product candidates. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the duration and cost of clinical trials, which vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of many factors, including:

the number of clinical sites included in the trials;

the length of time required to enroll suitable patients;

the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trials;

the number of doses patients receive;

the duration of patient follow-up;

the results of our clinical trials;

the establishment of commercial manufacturing capabilities;

the receipt of marketing approvals; and

the commercialization of product candidates.

Our expenditures are subject to additional uncertainties, including the terms and timing of regulatory approvals. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of ONS-5010 or our other product candidates. We may obtain unexpected results from our clinical trials. We may elect to discontinue, delay or modify clinical trials of some product candidates or focus on others. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the FDA or other regulatory authorities were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. Product commercialization will take several years and millions of dollars in development costs.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size, complexity and duration of later-stage clinical trials.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, administrative, finance and legal functions, including stock-based compensation, travel expenses and recruiting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include facility related costs, patent filing and prosecution costs and professional fees for business development, legal, auditing and tax services and insurance costs.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase if and when we believe a regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, and we anticipate an increase in payroll and expense as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, particularly as it relates to the sales and marketing of our product.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of cash paid and non-cash interest expense related to our senior secured notes, former bank loans, and notes with current and former stockholders, equipment loans, capital lease and other finance obligations.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, in connection with a March 2019 forbearance and exchange agreement in respect of two previously issued stockholder notes having an aggregate original principal amount of $1.0 million and outstanding balance of $1.9 million including accrued interest; and the June 2019 third note amendment of our $6.7 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes in which (i) the maturity date of the senior secured notes was amended to December 22, 2019, (ii) the scheduled payments of principal and interest on or prior to each of June 30, 2019; July 31, 2019; and August 31, 2019 were removed, and (iii) the interest rate payable on such senior secured notes was increased to 12.0% per annum from 5.0% per annum.

We recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2018 related to the exchange of $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of our senior secured notes for shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Warrants to purchase our common stock that have been issued in conjunction with our senior secured notes are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and we recognize any change in fair value in our statements of operations. We recorded income of $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to the decrease in the fair value of our common stock warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in connection with our senior secured notes during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which resulted from a decrease in the price of our common stock.

Income Taxes

On November 30, 2018, we received approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell approximately $3.7 million of our unused New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits. We received approximately $3.4 million of proceeds from the sale of the New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits, of which $0.8 million and $2.6 million was received in April 2019 and July 2019, respectively. Since inception, we have not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefits (excluding the sale of New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits) for the net losses we have incurred in each year or on our earned R&D credits, due to our uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. As of September 30, 2018, we had federal and state NOL carryforwards of $164.2 million and $67.6 million, respectively that will begin to expire in 2030 and 2036, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, we had federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $2.4 million available to reduce future tax liabilities, which begin to expire starting in 2023. As of September 30, 2018, we also had federal R&D credit carryforwards of $8.5 million that begin to expire in 2032.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred in the past. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and if we undergo an ownership change, our ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Our NOLs are also subject to international regulations, which could restrict our ability to utilize our NOLs.

Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future, if any, may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.

Collaboration Revenues

The following table sets forth a summary of revenue recognized from our collaboration and licensing agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, all of which was from the recognition of deferred revenues under such agreements:

	Three months ended June 30,
	2019		2018

IPCA Collaboration	$	128,007	$	65,268
Liomont Collaboration		84,414		59,160
Huahai Collaboration		371,427		178,712
BioLexis Collaboration		-		468,750
	$	583,848	$	771,890

Collaboration revenues decreased by $0.2 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease from the BioLexis collaboration revenue due to the full recognition of related milestones in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was offset by a $0.3 million increase from the IPCA, Liomont and Huahai collaborations due to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, effective October 1, 2018, which changed our revenue recognition policies for milestone payments. We previously recognized substantive milestones in the period the milestones were achieved but ASU 2014-09 prescribes that those milestones are a form of variable consideration and should be recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which results in such amounts being recognized over the estimated performance period.

Research and Development Expenses

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses by functional area for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three months ended June 30,
	2019			2018

ONS-5010 development	$	1,160,019		$	1,692,797
Compensation and related benefits		1,296,798			1,760,865
Stock-based compensation		(207,015	)		86,872
Loss on disposal of property and equipment		50,927			-
Other research and development		2,092,737			2,255,459
Total research and development expenses	$	4,393,466		$	5,795,993

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $1.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation and related benefits, and lower stock-based compensation of an aggregate of $0.8 million due to the elimination of a senior executive position during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and a decrease in ONS-5010 development costs of $0.5 million as we reduced our in-house testing capabilities in anticipation of outsourcing this work as part of the ONS-5010 commercial planning process.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses by type for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three months ended June 30,
	2019		2018

Professional fees	$	754,509	$	785,549
Compensation and related benefits		226,166		677,733
Stock-based compensation		175,750		147,247
Facilities, fees and other related costs		678,120		585,260
Total general and administrative expenses	$	1,834,545	$	2,195,789

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $0.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to reduced compensation and related benefits in 2019.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to repayment of senior secured notes, during the year offset by an increase in interest on the lease termination obligation during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Collaboration Revenues

The following table sets forth a summary of revenue recognized from our collaboration and licensing agreements for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, all of which was from the recognition of deferred revenues under such agreements:

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2019		2018

IPCA Collaboration	$	384,021	$	195,804
Liomont Collaboration		268,242		177,482
Huahai Collaboration		1,114,281		536,134
BioLexis Collaboration		526,042		1,406,250
	$	2,292,586	$	2,315,670

Collaboration revenues were relatively flat for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of a $0.9 million decrease from the BioLexis collaboration revenue, which offset an increase from the IPCA, Liomont and Huahai collaborations of $0.9 million. The BioLexis collaboration revenue decreased due to the full recognition of related milestones in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The IPCA, Liomont and Huahai collaborations revenue increase was due to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, effective October 1, 2018, which changed our revenue recognition policies for milestone payments. We previously recognized substantive milestones in the period the milestones were achieved but ASU 2014-09 prescribes that those milestones are a form of variable consideration and should be recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which results in such amounts being recognized over the estimated performance period.

Research and Development Expenses

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses by functional area for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2019		2018
ONS-5010 development	$	6,153,101	$	3,730,327
Settlement of clinical development contract		-		(3,228,613	)
Compensation and related benefits		4,693,270		4,863,686
Stock-based compensation		4,957		2,079
Loss on disposal of property and equipment		2,962,065		-
Other research and development		5,498,617		5,987,302
Total research and development expenses	$	19,312,010	$	11,354,781

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $8.0 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increased ONS-5010 development costs of $2.4 million as we progressed into Phase 3 clinical trials near the end of fiscal year 2018, and a $3.0 million write off of certain construction in progress assets and laboratory equipment resulting from our decision to outsource the commercial manufacturing and remaining development for the ONS-5010 program. In addition, 2018 reflects a $3.2 million favorable settlement of a contract related to our inactive biosimilar product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses by type for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018

Professional fees	$	2,884,838	$	2,213,073
Compensation and related benefits		817,474		1,982,597
Stock-based compensation		1,103,809		1,821,649
Facilities, fees and other related costs		1,781,570		2,174,227
Total general and administrative expenses	$	6,587,691	$	8,191,546

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $1.6 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in compensation and related benefits of $1.2 million and stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, which decreased because the first quarter of fiscal 2018 reflected the completion of the vesting period for many of our pre-IPO equity grants and a decrease in compensation expense related to the reversal of previously accrued compensation cost. Additionally, our ongoing efforts to reduce expenses to support the ongoing development of ONS-5010 resulted in a reduction in facilities and other costs of approximately $0.4 million which were offset by an increase in professional fees of $0.6 million due to advisory services related to the restructuring of our senior secured notes earlier in fiscal 2019.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $0.5 million to $3.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in amortization of debt discount and interest expense on the senior secured notes issued due to the modification of the interest rate made to the notes and a $0.3 million increase in lease termination obligation interest, during the nine month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have not generated any revenue from product sales. Since inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Through June 30, 2019, we have funded substantially all of our operations through the receipt of $241.5 million net proceeds from the issuance of our equity securities, debt securities and borrowings under debt facilities. We have also received an aggregate of $29.0 million pursuant to emerging markets collaboration and licensing agreements for our inactive biosimilar development programs.

In November 2018, we received approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell approximately $3.7 million of our unused New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits, of which approximately $0.8 million was received in April 2019. We received the balance of $2.6 million of proceeds from the sale of the New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits in July 2019.

In June 2019, we redeemed approximately $1.8 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of our senior secured notes and entered into a third note amendment with the holders of the remaining $6.7 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of such notes. Under the third note amendment, we amended the maturity date of the senior secured notes to December 22, 2019, and removed the scheduled payments of principal and interest of approximately $5.0 million that were previously to have occurred in June, July and August 2019. We also agreed to increase the interest rate payable on such senior secured notes to 12.0% per annum from 5.0% per annum. We paid $7.7 million of principal and interest on the senior secured notes through June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $244.4 million and a cash balance of $14.0 million. In addition, we have $6.7 million of senior secured notes that become due in December 2019, $3.6 million unsecured notes, which are due on demand as of such date, and $1.0 million of unsecured notes that are due on demand but are subject to a forbearance agreement through March 7, 2020. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant sales of our product candidates currently in development. We will need substantial additional financing to fund our operations and to commercially develop our product candidates. Management is currently evaluating various strategic opportunities to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to payments from potential strategic research and development, licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, private placements and/or public offerings of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.

Our future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above, (ii) our ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, (iii) the success of our research and development, (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately, (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of our proposed future products.

Funding Requirements

We plan to focus in the near term on advancing ONS-5010 through clinical trials to support the filing of a Biologics License Application with the FDA to support the generation of commercial revenues. We anticipate we will incur net losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We may not be able to complete the development and initiate commercialization of ONS-5010 if, among other things, our clinical trials are not successful or if the FDA does not approve our application arising out of our current clinical trials when we expect, or at all.

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, manufacturing and facility costs, external research and development services, laboratory and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, and administrative and overhead costs. Our future funding requirements will be heavily determined by the resources needed to support development of our lead product candidate.

We believe our existing cash as of June 30, 2019, together with proceeds from the sale of New Jersey NOLs and R&D credits received in July 2019 of $2.6 million will provide adequate financial resources to fund our operations into December 2019, excluding any unscheduled repayment of debt. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in order to complete our planned ONS-5010 development program. We plan to finance our future operations with a combination of proceeds from potential strategic collaborations, sale of the development and commercial rights to our drug product candidates, the issuance of equity securities, the issuance of additional debt, and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of our common stock. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of ONS-5010 or any other current or future product candidates. Alternatively, we will be required to, among other things, modify our clinical trial plans for ONS-5010 in additional indications, make reductions in our workforce, scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the periods presented:

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2019			2018

Net cash used in operating activities	$	(26,373,599	)	$	(24,645,339	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(437,306	)		(1,518,349	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		39,094,278			34,774,837

Operating Activities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, we used $26.4 million of cash in operating activities resulting primarily from our net loss of $24.4 million, This use of cash was partially offset by $6.2 million of noncash items such as non-cash interest expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on disposal of property and equipment, loss on extinguishment of debt and depreciation and amortization expense. The change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to prepayments associated with our clinical trials and ONS 5010 development costs and payments of our accrued expenses from September 30, 2018 as well as the amortization of our deferred revenues from collaborations.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we used $24.6 million of cash in operating activities resulting from our net loss of $17.9 million and the change in our operating assets and liabilities of $13.0 million. This use of cash was partially offset by $6.3 million of non-cash items such as non-cash interest expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on extinguishment of debt and depreciation and amortization expense. The change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to payments of our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses from September 30, 2017 as well as the prepayment of certain research and development expenses and the amortization of our deferred revenues from collaborations.

Investing Activities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we used cash of $0.4 and $1.6 million, respectively in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $39.1 million, primarily attributable to $19.8 million in net proceeds from the November 2018 BioLexis private placement, and approximately $26.2 in next proceeds from the April 2019 public offering. In November 2018 through February 2019, we issued BioLexis an aggregate of 2,680,965 shares of our common stock for gross cash proceeds of $20.0 million. In April 2019, we completed a public offering of 10,340,000 shares of our common stock, 15-month warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,340,000 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $26.2 million. We also made $6.9 million in debt and capital lease obligations payments.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $34.8 million, primarily attributable to $20.6 million in net proceeds from our second closing of our Series A Convertible in October 2017 and $14.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants to BioLexis in May and June 2018. We also made $0.7 million in debt payments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2019.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Not applicable.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on December 18, 2018, have not materially changed with the exception of our revenue recognition policies.

On October 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09 and changed our revenue recognition policies accordingly. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about:

	·	Contracts with customers - including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations).
	·	Significant judgments and changes in judgments - determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.
	·	Certain assets - assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

Our arrangements fall under ASC 808. ASC 808 does not address recognition or measurement matters but prescribes that entities look to other GAAP by analogy, namely ASU 2014-09. As such, we completed an analysis of existing contracts with our collaboration partners and assessed the differences in accounting for such contracts under ASU 2014-09 compared with current revenue accounting standards. We previously recognized substantive milestones in the period the milestones were achieved, but ASU 2014-09 prescribes that those milestones are a form of variable consideration that results in such amounts being recognized over the estimated performance period. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we would have recognized $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of collaboration revenues under revenue recognition guidance in effect during fiscal 2018 prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards when they are required to be adopted by public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. 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. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that 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 the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019.
