We believe our cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits on hand will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2025. We currently plan to continue to focus primarily on development of BX004, our product candidate for treating CF and BX211, our product candidate for treating DFO. Although we recently completed the 2024 March PIPE, in the future we will likely require or desire additional funds to support our operating expenses and capital requirements. Accordingly, we are exploring and expect to further explore, raising such additional funds through public or private equity, debt financings, loans, governmental or other grants or collaborative agreements or from other sources, as well as under the 2023 ATM Agreement discussed below. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. If there are increases in operating costs for facilities expansion, research and development and clinical activity, we will need to use mitigating actions such as to seek additional financing or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. If certain disruptions due to, for instance, the Israel-Hamas War, or Israeli political instability persists and deepens, we could experience an inability to access additional capital, which could in the future negatively affect our capacity to support our operating expenses and capital requirements. As a result of these factors, management believes that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Under the Hercules Loan Agreement, Hercules provided the Company with access to a term loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $30 million, or the Term Loan Facility, available in three tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions. The first tranche of $15 million was advanced to us on the date the Hercules Loan Agreement was executed. The conditions for the second and third tranches were not reached and have expired. We were required to make interest only payments through March 1, 2023, and started to then repay the principal balance and interest in equal monthly installments. Interest on the Hercules Loan accrues at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus 5.70% and (ii) 8.95%. On March 19, 2024, the Company prepaid all of the term loan under the Term Loan Facility in a total of $10,428,000. The prepayment included an end of term charge of $983,000 and accrued interest of $69,000. The Company received a waiver regarding the prepayment charge that should have been 1% out of the prepaid principal amount, equaling $94,000.

We have accumulated a deficit of $175.8 million since our inception. To date, we have not generated revenue from our operations, and we do not expect to generate any significant revenues from sales of products in the next twelve months. Our cash needs may increase in the foreseeable future. We expect to generate revenues, from the sale of licenses to use our technology or products, but in the short and medium terms any amounts generated are unlikely to exceed our costs of operations. According to our estimates and based on our current operating plans, our liquidity resources as of June 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits and restricted cash of approximately $32.7 million will be sufficient to fund our operations into the fourth quarter of 2025.

Other income was $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $1.9 million, or 1900%, is primarily due to the reversion of the contract liability associated with the Company’s AD program which was paused.
