Quarterly Highlights

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Summary

Cash Position: The Company reported total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (“Cash”) of $20.8 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $23.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and $32.0 million as of December 31, 2021. The current Cash is expected to provide ample runway to fund operations into 2023.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: We recorded R&D expenses of $2.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $1.8 million over prior year comparable period. We recorded R&D expenses of $5.9 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2.6 million over prior year comparable period. R&D expenses increased primarily due to hiring of additional employees and professionals in 2022 and costs associated with the continued development and manufacturing of our most advanced second generation TriKE® product candidates GTB-3650 and GTB-5550.

Selling, General and Administrative (S,G&A) Expenses: We recorded S,G&A expenses of $4.3 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $0.6 million over prior year comparable period. We recorded G&A expenses of $9.5 million and $36.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $26.6 million over the prior year comparable period. The decrease in S,G&A resulted primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation to consultants, officers and directors. We recorded additional expenses during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 that consisted of legal, finance, consulting and professional fees in support of our planned growth and new public company compliance initiatives.

Net Loss: We recorded a net loss of $6.9 million or $0.22 per share and $5.5 million or $0.17 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded a net loss of $15.3 million or $0.48 per share and $40.0 million or $1.54 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same comparable period in 2021, and decrease in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same comparable period in 2021, resulted primarily due to increase in R&D expenses and reduction in S,G&A expenses as discussed above.
