Liquidity and Management Plans
 
Management evaluates whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within
one
year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, since inception, the Company has sustained significant operating losses and such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. As of
December 31, 2020,
the Company had accumulated deficit of
$219,826,000,
cash and cash equivalents of
$6,523,000
and working capital of
$8,628,000.
Additionally, the Company used
$15,234,000
in cash for operations in the year ended
December 31, 2020.
The Company's financing activities provided cash of
$9,230,000
during the year ended
December 31, 2020,
which was primarily due to the exercise of common warrants. The Company will require additional cash funding to fund operations through
March 31, 2022.
Accordingly, the Company concluded there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as of
December 31, 2020.
However, due to the Company's
January 2021
Offering for net proceeds of approximately
$25,223,000
and the remaining equity financing commitment of
$9,700,000
from LPC, management believes that this substantial doubt has been alleviated.
 
To fund further operations, the Company will need to raise additional capital. The Company
may
obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of its common stock, or through other equity or debt financings. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern or meet the minimum liquidity requirements in the future is dependent on its ability to raise significant additional capital, of which there can be
no
assurance. If the necessary financing is
not
obtained or achieved, the Company will likely be required to reduce its planned expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and the Company's ability to achieve its strategic objective. There can be
no
assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
