Exhibit 99.1
SAN DIEGO June 9, 2015 OncoSec Medical Inc. (OncoSec) (NASDAQ: ONCS), a company developing DNA-based intratumoral cancer immunotherapies, today announced financial results for the nine months ended April 30, 2015.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the nine months ended April 30, 2015, OncoSec reported a net loss of $14.7 million, or $1.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.5 million, or $0.96 per share, for the same period last year. There were no revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 or April 30, 2014.
Research and development expenses were $9.3 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2015, compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2014. This increase in research and development expenses was primarily a result of increased salary related expenses, outside services costs, and lab supplies as the company further expands its internal research capabilities, research on next-generation electroporation devices, novel electroporation technologies, and combination studies, and increased costs associated with its clinical trials.
General and administrative expenses were $5.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2015, compared to $4.5 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2014. This increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of increased salary related expenses due to increased headcount to support the growth in operations and increased conference fees and related travel, offset by a savings in professional services fees.
At April 30, 2015, OncoSec had $25.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $37.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 2014. OncoSec expects these funds will be sufficient to allow the company to continue to operate its business for at least the next 12 months.
