Note 2. Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company reported a net loss of $100,000 and $1,198,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company’s accumulated deficit amounted to $180,475,000 and $179,277,000, respectively. The Company had working capital of $13,943,000 and $8,905,000 as of September 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively.

  

On June 24, 2020, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Micromed Laboratories division and testing facility, including all Micromed’s assets, such as testing equipment, certain office furniture and customer list, with Infinity Labs SD Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000. On the closing date, the Company received $610,000 in cash from this sale, which was adjusted for working capital, a credit of $100,000 for future testing services from Infinity over the next two years in lieu of cash, and $60,000 held in escrow for one year, subject to adjustment for certain indemnity claims or purchase price adjustments. Since July 2021, the escrow was received. The Company also retained its accounts receivables outstanding on the date of closing in the amount of approximately $81,000 and an insignificant amount of liabilities. As part of the transaction, Infinity also assumed the Petaluma lease for the office and lab space. The Company retained the warehouse space to store inventory and assets until September 30, 2020.

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,310,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), from Coastal States Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, “CARES Act”, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight or 24 weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminated employees or reduced salaries during the applicable period.

 

The unsecured loan, which is in the form of a note dated April 29, 2020, matures on April 29, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on May 1, 2021. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Company has used a portion of the loan amount for eligible purposes, such as payroll expenses. On September 3, 2021, the Company received approval for forgiveness in the amount of $723,000.

 

On May 29, June 1 and 2, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $1,799,000 from the exercise of November 2018 common stock purchase warrants by several investors.

 

On July 30, 2021, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with HC Wainwright & Co., LLC under which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock from time to time through HC Wainwright acting as sales agent. The Company will pay HC Wainwright a commission of 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any shares of common stock under the Agreement. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 855,500 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $7,202,000 and net proceeds of $6,902,000 after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.

 

Since September 30, 2021, the Company sold 94,600 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $700,000 and net proceeds of $678,000 after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.

 

Management believes that the Company has access to additional capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations, or other means; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that other new financings will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed. If the economic climate in the U.S. deteriorates, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the Company’s continued efforts to commercialize its products, which is critical to the realization of its business plan and the future operations of the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
