11. Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $58.9 million. Management believes that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. The estimate is based, in part, upon our currently projected expenditures for the remainder of 2016 and the first ten months of 2017 of approximately $37.4 million, which includes approximately $15.6 million for our ongoing clinical programs for aldoxorubicin, approximately $2.7 million for our drug discovery operations at our Freiburg, Germany laboratory, approximately $3.4 million for general operation of our clinical programs, approximately $8.3 million for other general and administrative expenses, and approximately $7.4 million for interest and payments on our outstanding term loan.  These projected expenditures assume that we will not suffer a "material adverse event" which could trigger the lenders' acceleration of our outstanding term loan, and are based upon numerous other assumptions and subject to many uncertainties, and our actual expenditures may be significantly different from these projections.
Following our announcement of the initial analysis of our on-going global Phase 3 clinical trial of aldoxorubicin, we took measures to reduce our "burn" rate, decreased our head count and discontinued our pre-commercialization activities pending the results of our second analysis and of our planned pre-NDA meeting with the FDA.  For these reasons and others, our operating results may fluctuate from period to period, and the results of prior periods should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods.
If we obtain marketing approval and successfully commercialize aldoxorubicin or other product candidates, we anticipate it will take several years for us to generate significant recurring revenue. We will be dependent on future financing and possible strategic partnerships until such time, if ever, as it can generate significant recurring revenue. We have no commitments from third parties to provide us with any additional financing, and we may not be able to obtain future financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to obtain sufficient funding when needed, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate all or a portion of our development programs or clinical trials, seek to license to other companies our product candidates or technologies that we would prefer to develop and commercialize ourselves, or seek to sell some or all of our assets or merge with or be acquired by another company.
