Previous wording
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $90.4 million and accumulated deficit of $272.5 million. We believe, based on our current operating plan, that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report. The Food and Drug Administration clearance of SZN-8141’s IND application would trigger funding of the $98.6 million private placement tranche (2025 PIPE), which is expected to fund operations through efficacy, safety and tolerability studies for SZN-8141 and SZN-8143. We expect that in the long-term we will need to raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including government grants, potential collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions until we are able to generate revenue on our own. Our ability to continue as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to successfully secure sources of financing and ultimately achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to us at all or on attractive terms when needed from these sources. If we are unable to obtain additional funding from these or other sources when needed, we may be necessary to significantly reduce expenses through reductions in staff and delaying, scaling back operations, or stopping certain research and development programs.
