InMed Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2021 IFRS Financial Results

PR Newswire

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: INM) (TSX: IN), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing medications targeting diseases with high unmet medical need and leading the way in the clinical development of cannabinol (“CBN”), in compliance with continuous disclosure obligations in Canada, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 (“1Q21”) which ended September 30, 2020.

With yesterday’s announced financing expected to close on November 16, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions, the conference call component of this quarter’s financial reporting has been cancelled. The Company looks forward to updating investors during a future conference call.



Results of Operations (expressed in Canadian Dollars and in accordance with IFRS):

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.41 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.65 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
  • Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for 1Q21, compared with $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the costs associated with external contractors and research supplies.
  • The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million for 1Q21, compared with $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months to September 30, 2020 was primarily due to decreased accounting and legal expenses pertaining to certain corporate initiatives, including certain current year legal costs being capitalized as deferred financing costs offset by higher accounting fees partly resulting from the preparation of financial statements under both IFRS and US GAAP, as well as decreased salaries and benefits.
  • The Company also incurred non-cash, share-based payments, in connection with the grant of stock options, of $0.1 million for 1Q21, compared with $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
  • At September 30, 2020, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $6.1 million, which compares to $8.0 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during the three months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily due to cash outflows from operating activities.
  • At September 30, 2020, the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares were 5,220,707. In addition, at September 30, 2020, there were 556,817 outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $14.96.

Moleculin Biotech, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

PR Newswire

HOUSTON, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Moleculin Biotech, Inc., (Nasdaq: MBRX) (Moleculin or the Company), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company with a broad portfolio of drug candidates targeting highly resistant tumors and viruses, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided a business update.

Management Discussion

“We are extremely encouraged by the progress we made in the third quarter. Despite the sustained headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to drive the development of Annamycin both in our AML and lung indications, further progress our clinical trials for WP1066, expand and accelerate our infectious disease platform, and bolster our experienced leadership team,” commented Walter Klemp, Chairman and CEO of Moleculin.

“We were particularly encouraged by the progress we made advancing our lead candidate Annamycin, a ‘next generation anthracycline’ demonstrating little to no cardiotoxicity. In June, we conducted our End of Phase 1 meeting with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). As a result of this meeting, we will expand our protocol-mandated testing for cardiotoxicity throughout the remainder of the Phase 1 trial. This will provide additional safety data, including investigating the continued evidence of little to no cardiotoxicity, and efficacy data which both US and European regulators may consider as we prepare to transition to a Phase 2 clinical trial. We also received approval from Polish authorities to increase the dose-escalation from 30 mg/m2 per cohort to 60 mg/m2 per cohort which will accelerate finding the maximum tolerated dose.”

“We were also excited by the promise Annamycin shows in targeting lung localized tumors. Currently there is an extreme unmet need for a more effective treatment of sarcomas that have metastasized to the lungs, and limited treatment options available for lung metastases resulting from a primary tumor, even though the primary tumor may have been treatable. In September, we were pleased to announce results from an independent laboratory demonstrating in animal studies the ability of Annamycin to generate a 30-fold greater concentration in lungs compared to the current standard of care drug, enabling the targeting of this cancer in its sanctuary site. These results further validate data we presented at the American Association of Cancer Research, which illustrated Annamycin’s uniquely high uptake and retention in the lungs, resulting in consistently high in vivo activity against a wide range of lung-localized tumors in mice. Due to Annamycin’s strong pre-clinical data in this indication, we successfully completed a pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) meeting with the FDA and discussed our development plan for Annamycin, including the clinical study design and dosing strategy for an initial Phase 1b/2 protocol for soft tissue sarcomas with lung metastases. Based on our conversations, and the compelling pre-clinical data, we are optimistic that we will be able to file an IND with the FDA for this indication before the end of the year.”

“In addition to driving the development of Annamycin, we continued to advance WP1066, the lead molecule in Moleculin’s portfolio of immune stimulators and modulators of transcription. Importantly, we were able to report positive data from both our adult and pediatric Phase 1 clinical trials. In our adult Phase 1 clinical trial being conducted at a major cancer center in Houston, we reported positive preliminary data in adult patients with glioblastoma (“GBM”), which supports the progression of the trial to the fourth and final dose escalation cohort. In our Phase 1 clinical trial of WP1066 for the treatment of brain tumors in children being at conducted at the Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the first three patients in the trial received treatment at a dose level of 4 mg/kg with no adverse events related to WP1066 and the study is now proceeding to the next higher dose of 6 mg/kg. Importantly, one patient with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (“DIPG”), showed an apparent response to the treatment with both clinical improvement and radiologic reduction of tumor size. We believe this to be particularly notable given the clinical trial history of DIPG, as approximately 200 clinical trials have been conducted with no drug showing significant activity in this disease.”

“Although we remain laser focused on advancing our clinical pipeline, we are very encouraged by the potential our infectious disease pipeline continues to offer. Our initial preclinical focus for the WP1122 program was to help provide a treatment for the growing COVID-19 pandemic. Following strong preclinical data and independent research demonstrating WP1122’s unique mechanism of action and in-vitro activity, we were pleased to further progress our studies as we prepare for submission of an IND to test WP1122 in COVID-19 patients. During the quarter, we also discovered that two other molecules within our portfolio of antimetabolites displayed significant in vitro antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and other hard to treat viruses. Independent laboratory testing of our new drug candidates, called WP1096 and WP1097, not only showed significant antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, but also showed greater potential against HIV, Zika, and Dengue Fever. While we are encouraged by the strong preclinical data, we believe our best course of action for advancing this portfolio given its early stage will be through relying on collaborations and externally funded pathways. Subsequently, we entered into an agreement with the University of Campinas in São Paulo, Brazil to further enable collaboration into research on the anti-viral capabilities of WP1122, specifically for the coronavirus. We continue to be optimistic about the data demonstrated in the WP1122 portfolio and are planning to file an IND application or its equivalent for either cancer-related or virus-related clinical trials in the first half of 2021.”

Mr. Klemp concluded, “As we head into the final months of 2020, we believe we remain well-positioned to progress our three core technologies. To help drive this effort, we recently appointed Liz Cermak to our Board of Directors. Liz brings nearly four decades of healthcare experience, has helped oversee drugs through commercialization, and has licensed drugs to well respected big pharmaceutical companies. With our experienced leadership team, and the progress we made throughout the third quarter, we look forward to building on our momentum, and executing on our strategic plan as we head into 2021.”

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

Research and development (R&D) expense was $4.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase of $1.6 million is mainly related to increased clinical trial activity, increased license fees and costs related to sponsored research agreements, costs related to manufacturing of additional drug product and two additional employees in R&D headcount.

General and administrative expense was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Loss from operations for the third quarter was $6.2 million compared to a net loss of $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2019. This increase was largely due to the above-mentioned increase in R&D.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $3.4 million, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2019, and was attributed to the above-mentioned increase in R&D and the change in fair value on revaluation of warrant liability associated with warrants issued in conjunction with stock offerings. Changes in our stock price can result in a material gain or loss during the quarter related to the revaluation of our warrant liability. The gain from the change in the fair value of the warrant liability for the third quarter of 2020 was $2.7 million compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the same quarter in 2019. This is a non-cash item.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.8 million and prepaid expenses and other of $2.5 million. We also had $1.3 million of accounts payable and $2.1 million of accrued expenses. A significant portion of the accounts payable and accrued expenses are due to work performed in relation to our clinical trials. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we used approximately $14.6 million and $12.5 million of cash in operating activities, respectively, which represents cash outlays for research and development and general and administrative expenses in such periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net proceeds from financing activities were $17.1 million and $20.9 million, respectively, predominately from the sale of our common stock and the exercise of warrants. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.04 million, respectively.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 plus the $2.6 million cash raised and committed subsequent to the quarter will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into the third quarter of 2021, without the issuance of additional equity for cash. Any such issuances should extend the funding of our planned operations beyond the third quarter of 2021. Such plans are subject to our stock price, market conditions, changes in planned expenses depending on clinical enrollment progress, the use of drug product or a combination thereof.

Ether Capital Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Ether Capital Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Ether Capital Corporation (“Ether Capital” or the “Company”) (NEO:ETHC) today reported its financial results as at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

As at September 30, 2020:

  • The total value of the Ether held by the Company was $15.3 million
  • The total assets of the Company were $18.8 million
  • The Company had an accumulated deficit of $27.3 million, the majority of which represents a non-cash unrealized loss on the value of Ether
  • The Company recorded earnings of $0.24 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the majority of which represents a net gain on the fair value remeasurement of Ether

As at November 12, 2020, the total value of the Ether held by the Company was $19.4 million.

Brian Mosoff, Ether Capital’s CEO, said: “The first phase of Ethereum’s network upgrade has begun with the release of the deposit contract for Ethereum’s ‘beacon chain’, which aims to bring proof of stake consensus to Ethereum. We anticipate that the beacon chain will launch before the end of the year. Proof of stake allows holders of Ether to perform Ethereum network validation services in order to earn an Ether-denominated return on such services. Ether Capital may allocate a portion of its Ether holdings to network validation and begin earning a yield on such allocation. As we get closer to the launch of the beacon chain, we will update our shareholders in due course on our plans relating to proof of stake.”

“Ethereum has seen impressive activity so far in 2020, with decentralized finance applications being a key focus,” continued Mr. Mosoff. “According to data from Messari and CoinMetrics, Ethereum is on pace to settle over US$1 trillion in transactions in 2020, reflecting an all-time high for the network which launched only five years ago.”

For condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, please refer to the Company’s website at http://ethcap.co/. The Company also provides regularly updated disclosure of its investments in the investors section of its website.

The Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements, along with the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis have been filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) and may be viewed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

AIM ImmunoTech Provides Third Quarter 2020 Business Update

OCALA, Fla., Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM), an immuno-pharma company focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat immune disorders, viral diseases and multiple types of cancers, today provided a business update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third
Quarter
2020
Financial Highlights:

  • As of September 30, 2020, AIM had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $54.5 million, as compared to $8.8 million as of December 31, 2019.
  • Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $1.10 million, compared to $1.19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
  • General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $2.09 million, compared to $1.85 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company’s complete financial results are available in the Company’s September 30, 2020 Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2020, which is available at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website.

Recent
Clinical and Business Highlights

AIM has announced several significant clinical, research and business milestones since the start of the third quarter of 2020.

Immuno-oncology

On September 22, AIM announced receipt of statistically significant positive pancreatic cancer survival results from a multi-year Early Access Program conducted at Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands. Prof. Casper van Eijck, MD Ph.D., and his team at Erasmus MC found a statistically significantly positive survival benefit when using AIM’s drug Ampligen in patients with locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer after systemic chemotherapy. Median survival was approximately two-fold higher, that is 200%, in the Ampligen arm as compared to the historical controls. A detailed clinical report and an article for publication are being prepared by the Erasmus MC team. AIM intends to facilitate a follow-up pancreatic cancer Phase 2/3 clinical trial based on these data.

M
yalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
and COVID-19

On November 2, AIM announced the publication of statistically significant
ME/CFS
findings providing further support for the considerable positive impact Ampligen may have on people living with ME/CFS when administered in the early stages of the disease. The data were published in PLOS ONE. AIM researchers found, in a reanalysis of data from the earlier Phase 3 study, that the TLR3 agonist Ampligen substantially improved physical performance in a subset of early-onset ME/CFS patients. The findings potentially carry special importance for survivors of COVID-19, many of whom report classic chronic fatigue-like symptoms after recovering from the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. These patients — who are commonly referred to as “Long Haulers” because of the persistence of these symptoms — are uniquely situated to potentially benefit from Ampligen as an early onset therapy. As part of its plan to study this potential benefit, on October 6, AIM announced the receipt of Institutional Review Board approval for the expansion of the AMP-511 Expanded Access Program clinical trial for ME/CFS to include patients previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19

On August 27, AIM announced the identification of an effective

in vitro

model in which Ampligen was shown to be able to decrease SARS-CoV-2 infectious viral yields by 90% at clinically achievable intranasal dosage levels. This demonstration of Ampligen’s bioactivity against SARS-CoV-2 supports the company’s commitment to the development of Ampligen as both a prophylaxis and early onset intranasal therapy for COVID-19. To that end, on September 16, AIM announced that recruitment had begun in Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Phase 1/2a COVID-19 clinical study of the effectiveness of Ampligen in combination with interferon alpha-2b in treating cancer patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 infection. This followed the Clinical Trial Agreement between AIM and Roswell Park announced on July 9. Less than a week earlier, on July 6, AIM also announced its entry into a trilateral Material Transfer and Research Agreement with Japan’s National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Shionogi & Co., Ltd. to test Ampligen as a potential vaccine adjuvant for COVID-19. Under the agreement, AIM will provide Ampligen samples for various research projects.

Cautionary Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”). Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Many of these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among other things, for those statements, the Company claims the protection of safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the PSLRA. For example, significant additional testing and trials will be required to determine whether Ampligen will be effective in the treatment of COVID-19 in humans and no assurance can be given that it will be the case. Results obtained in animal models do not necessarily predict results in humans. No assurance can be given as to whether current or planned immuno-oncology clinical trials will be successful or yield favorable data and the trials are subject to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s), lack of study drug, or a change in priorities at the institutions sponsoring other trials. Even if these clinical trials are initiated, the Company cannot assure that the clinical studies will be successful or yield any useful data or require additional funding. Some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions are racing to find a treatment for COVID-19. Even if Ampligen proves effective in combating the virus, no assurance can be given that the Company’s actions toward proving this will be given first priority or that another treatment that eventually proves capable will not make our efforts ultimately unproductive. The Company recognizes that all cancer centers, like all medical facilities, must make the pandemic their priority. Therefore, there is the potential for delays in clinical trial enrollment and reporting in ongoing studies in cancer patients because of the COVID-19 medical emergency. No assurance can be given that future studies will not result in findings that are different from those reported in the studies referenced. Operating in foreign countries carries with it a number of risks, including potential difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights. We cannot assure that our potential foreign operations will not be adversely affected by these risks. We do not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof.
