Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Edesa Biotech, Inc. reported a strengthened liquidity position driven by private placements: cash and cash equivalents increased to $12.36 million at June 30, 2025 and working capital was approximately $12.1 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 the company recorded a net loss of $4.96 million, contributing to an accumulated deficit of $63.65 million. The company received gross proceeds of about $15.0 million from a Series B-1 private placement and $1.54 million from a Series A-1 issuance.

The company continues clinical development across two programs: EB05 is participating in a BARDA-funded platform trial and EB06 is advancing toward a Phase 2 vitiligo study with manufacturing preparation underway. The Canadian Strategic Innovation Fund committed up to C$23 million (partially repayable) to support Phase 3 and related activities. Management states a going concern material uncertainty exists and further financing or strategic activities will be required to fund development beyond current expectations.

Edesa Biotech, Inc. ha riportato un rafforzamento della posizione di liquidità grazie a collocamenti privati: le disponibilità liquide sono salite a $12.36 milioni al 30 giugno 2025 e il capitale circolante era di circa $12.1 milioni. Nei nove mesi chiusi al 30 giugno 2025 la società ha registrato una perdita netta di $4.96 milioni, portando il disavanzo accumulato a $63.65 milioni. La società ha ottenuto proventi lordi per circa $15.0 milioni da un collocamento privato di Serie B-1 e $1.54 milioni da un'emissione di Serie A-1.

La società prosegue lo sviluppo clinico su due programmi: EB05 partecipa a uno studio piattaforma finanziato da BARDA e EB06 si sta preparando per uno studio di Fase 2 sulla vitiligine, con le attività di produzione in corso. Il Canadian Strategic Innovation Fund si è impegnato fino a C$23 milioni (in parte rimborsabili) per sostenere la Fase 3 e le attività correlate. La direzione dichiara che esiste una incertezza materiale relativa alla continuità aziendale e che saranno necessari ulteriori finanziamenti o azioni strategiche per finanziare lo sviluppo oltre le attuali previsioni.

Insights

TL;DR: A meaningful $15M financing materially improves near-term liquidity, supporting clinical programs but losses persist.

Liquidity materially improved with gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million from the Series B-1 placement plus $1.54 million from Series A-1 issuance, resulting in $12.36 million cash at period end and working capital of ~$12.1 million. Operating cash outflow for the nine months was $5.6 million and net loss was $4.96 million, producing an accumulated deficit of $63.65 million. These proceeds are disclosed as intended to fund clinical activities into fiscal 2026, which makes the financing impactful for near-term operations. However, management still discloses a going concern qualification, indicating additional financing will likely be necessary beyond current proceeds.

TL;DR: Related-party financings and investor protections raise governance and control considerations for shareholders.

The filings disclose related-party transactions, including a $1.54 million purchase of Series A-1 preferred shares by an entity controlled by the CEO and director purchases in the Series B-1 placement. The Series B-1 Investor Rights Agreement grants the lead investor board nomination rights and protective provisions that restrict certain corporate actions without consent. These provisions and related-party participation are material governance items that may affect shareholder dynamics, board composition and future corporate actions during the lead investor rights period.

Edesa Biotech, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Nature of Operations

 

Edesa Biotech, Inc. (the “Company” or “Edesa”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing clinical stage drugs for inflammatory and immune-related diseases with clear unmet medical needs. The Company is organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and is headquartered in Markham, Ontario. It operates under its wholly owned subsidiaries, Edesa Biotech Research, Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation, and Edesa Biotech USA, Inc., a California, USA corporation.

 

The Company’s common shares trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market in the United States under the symbol “EDSA”.

 

Going Concern

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of operations for at least the next twelve months.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $4.8 million resulting in an accumulated deficit of $63.6 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $5.6 million and ended the period with $12.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital of $12.1 million. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company received gross proceeds of $15.0 million from the sale of preferred shares and common shares in a private placement and $1.5 million from the sale of preferred shares to an entity controlled by the Company’s CEO, as described below. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional funding through financings, other strategic activities as well as via grants, to fund the development of its drug candidates. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the necessary financing. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.

 

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 13, 2024.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included in the interim periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period or year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are valuation of accounts and other receivable; intangible assets; right-of-use assets; deferred income taxes; the determination of fair value of share-based compensation; the determination of fair value of warrants in order to allocate proceeds from equity issuances; and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption.

 

7

 

Functional and reporting currencies

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated, which is the Company’s and its wholly owned subsidiary’s, Edesa Biotech USA, Inc., functional currency. The functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Edesa Biotech Research, Inc., as determined by management, is Canadian dollars.

 

 

3. Intangible Assets

 

Acquired license

 

In April 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with a pharmaceutical development company to obtain exclusive world-wide rights to know-how, patents and data relating to certain monoclonal antibodies (the Constructs), including sublicensing rights. Unless earlier terminated, the term of the license agreement will remain in effect for 25 years from the date of first commercial sale of licensed products containing the Constructs. Subsequently, the license agreement will automatically renew for five-year periods unless either party terminates the agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

Under the license agreement, the Company is exclusively responsible, at its expense, for the research, development, manufacture, marketing, distribution and commercialization of the Constructs and licensed products and to obtain all necessary licenses and rights. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the Constructs in accordance with the terms of a development plan established by the parties.

 

The Company has determined that the license has multiple alternative future uses in research and development projects and sublicensing in other countries or for other disease indications. The value of the acquired license is recorded as an intangible asset with amortization over the estimated useful life of 25 years and evaluation for impairment at the end of each reporting period.

 

The required upfront license payment of $2.5 million was paid by issuance of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, which have been fully converted to common shares. The value of the license includes acquisition legal costs. See Note 5 for license commitments.

License and royalty commitments

 

In April 2020, through its Ontario subsidiary, the Company entered into a license agreement with a third party to obtain exclusive world-wide rights to the Constructs, including sublicensing rights. An intangible asset for the acquired license has been recognized. See Note 3 for intangible assets. Under the license agreement, the Company is committed to payments of up to an aggregate amount of $356 million contingent upon meeting certain milestones outlined in the license agreement, primarily relating to future potential commercial approval and sales milestones. The Company also has a commitment to pay royalties based on any net sales of products containing the Constructs in the countries where the Company directly commercializes the products containing the Constructs and a percentage of any sublicensing revenue received by the Company and its affiliates in the countries where it does not directly commercialize the products containing the Constructs. No milestone, royalty or sublicensing payments were made to the third party during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

In 2016, through its Ontario subsidiary, the Company entered into a license agreement with a third party to obtain exclusive rights to certain know-how, patents and data relating to a pharmaceutical product. The Company will use the exclusive rights to develop the product for therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic uses in topical dermal applications and anorectal applications. No intangible assets have been recognized under the license agreement with the third party. Under the license agreement, the Company is committed to payments of various amounts to the third party upon meeting certain milestones outlined in the license agreement, up to an aggregate amount of $18.4 million. Upon divestiture of substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company shall pay the third party a percentage of the valuation of the licensed technology sold as determined by an external objective expert. The Company also has a commitment to pay the third party a royalty based on net sales of the product in countries where the Company, or an affiliate, directly commercializes the product and a percentage of sublicensing revenue received by the Company and its affiliates in the countries where it does not directly commercialize the product.

In March 2021, through its Ontario subsidiary, the Company entered into a license agreement with the inventor of the same pharmaceutical product to acquire global rights for all fields of use beyond those named under the 2016 license agreement. The Company is committed to remaining payments of up to an aggregate amount of $68.9 million, primarily relating to future potential commercial approval and sales milestones. In addition, if the Company fails to file an investigational new drug application or foreign equivalent (IND) for the product within a certain period of time following the date of the agreement, the Company is required to remit to the inventor a fixed license fee quarterly as long as the requirement to file an IND remains unfulfilled. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an expense of $25,000 and $75,000 for the fixed quarterly license fee as outlined in the 2021 license agreement. There were no milestones achieved in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and no additional expenses were incurred.

 

In June 2024, the Company’s drug candidate, EB05, was selected by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for evaluation in a U.S. government-funded clinical study. The Phase 2 platform trial will be a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center U.S. clinical trial to investigate novel threat-agnostic host-directed therapeutics, including EB05, in hospitalized adult patients with ARDS due to a variety of causes. For the EB05 cohort of the study, patients will be randomized one-to-one to either EB05 plus Standard of Care (SOC) or to a placebo plus SOC control arm. Edesa plans to provide drug product for the study as well as technical support. The Company is responsible for providing drug product and placebo for the Phase 2 platform trial.

Series B-1 Preferred Shares Offering

 

On February 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (Series B-1 Purchase Agreement) with certain investors, including members of the Company’s board of directors and executive officers (the Series B-1 Investors), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Series B-1 Investors in a private placement (the Private Placement), an aggregate of (i) 834 shares (the Series B-1 Preferred Shares) of the Company’s newly designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, stated value $10,000 per share, each of which is initially convertible into approximately 5,208 common shares (the Series B-1 Conversion Shares), without par value, of the Company (the Common Shares) at a conversion price of $1.92 per Series B-1 Conversion Share, and (ii) 3,468,746 Common Shares. The purchase price per Series B-1 Preferred Share was $10,000 and the purchase price per Common Share was $1.92. The gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $15.0 million, prior to deducting offering expenses payable by the Company which were allocated between the Series B-1 Preferred Shares and Common Shares based on the market price of the Company’s Common Shares on the issuance date. A Series B-1 Investor will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series B-1 Preferred Shares if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, 9.99% or 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

 

The Series B-1 Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Series B-1 Investors and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

The Series B-1 Preferred Shares are presented as permanent shareholders’ equity.

 

The Series B-1 Preferred Shares did not exist in the comparative period; therefore, no prior-period disclosure is presented.

Series A-1 Preferred Shares Offering

 

On October 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (Series A-1 Purchase Agreement) with an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and member of the board of directors of the Company (Series A-1 Purchaser), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Series A-1 Purchaser in a private placement, up to $5,000,000 of shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, stated value $10,000 per share (the Series A-1 Preferred Shares), each of which is initially convertible into approximately 2,903 Common Shares (Series A-1 Conversion Shares), at a conversion price of $3.445 per Series A-1 Conversion Share, and warrants (Warrants) to purchase Common Shares (Series A-1 Warrant Shares) at an exercise price of $3.445 per Series A-1 Warrant Share. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares and the Warrants are being sold together in a fixed combination of one Series A-1 Preferred Share and a Warrant to purchase a number of Common Shares equal to 75% of the underlying Series A-1 Conversion Shares at a combined purchase price of $10,272.13 per Series A-1 Preferred Share and related Warrants. Under the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the Series A-1 Purchaser has purchased 150 Series A-1 Preferred Shares initially convertible into an aggregate of 435,414 Series A-1 Conversion Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 326,560 Warrant Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,540,819. The offering of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants was structured as an at-market offering under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Series A-1 Purchaser will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series A-1 Preferred Shares if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

 

The Warrants expire five years from the issuance date. The Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance or resale of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to or by the holders thereof. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to customary antidilution adjustments in the event of share splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar events. The Series A-1 Purchaser will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

 

The Company has the right to require the Series A-1 Purchaser to purchase additional Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants (up to an aggregate investment of $5.0 million); provided however, no more than an aggregate of $2.0 million of Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants may be issued and sold pursuant to the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement without shareholder approval in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

 

The Series A-1 Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Series A-1 Purchaser and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

The Company has the option to redeem the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, and upon conversion or liquidation, holders are entitled to receive the stated value plus a 10% annual return on capital, payable in Common Shares at the conversion price, calculated daily until the three-year anniversary of issuance.

 

The Series A-1 Preferred Shares are presented as permanent shareholders’ equity. The total proceeds were allocated between the Series A-1 Preferred Shares and warrants using relative fair value. The fair value of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares was determined as a reference to the fair value of Common Shares on the issuance date and the fair value of the warrants was determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model as detailed below.

 

The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares did not exist in the comparative period; therefore, no prior-period disclosure is presented.

Equity distribution agreement

 

In October 2024, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as a sales agent (HCW ATM) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, Common Shares through an at-the-market equity offering program for up to $3.87 million in gross proceeds. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Common Shares and may at any time suspend sales or terminate the equity distribution agreement in accordance with its terms. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold a total of 304,057 Common Shares pursuant to the agreement for net proceeds of $0.8 million after deducting sales agent commissions of $25,000. The Company has not sold any Common Shares pursuant to the HCW ATM subsequent to June 30, 2025.

 

 

Black-Scholes option valuation model

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of share-based compensation for share options and compensation warrants granted and the fair value of warrants issued. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. When there is insufficient data available, the Company uses a peer group that is publicly traded to calculate expected volatility. The Company adopted interest-free rates by reference to the U.S. treasury yield rates. The Company calculated the fair value of share options granted based on the expected life of 5 years considering expected forfeitures during the option term of 10 years. Expected life of warrants is based on warrant terms. The Company did not and is not expected to declare any dividends. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s warrants and share options.

7. Government Contributions

 

Reimbursement grant income for the Company’s federal grant with the Canadian government’s SIF is recorded based on the claim period of eligible costs.

 

In October 2023, the Company entered into a multi-year contribution agreement (the 2023 SIF Agreement) with the Canadian Government’s Strategic Innovation Fund. Under the 2023 SIF Agreement, the Government of Canada committed up to C$23 million in partially repayable funding toward (i) conducting and completing the Company’s Phase 3 clinical study of its experimental drug EB05 in critical-care patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) caused by COVID-19 or other infectious agents, (ii) submitting EB05 for governmental approvals and manufacturing scale-up, following, and subject to, completing the Phase 3 study and (iii) conducting two non-clinical safety studies to assess the potential long-term impact of EB05 exposure (the Project). Of the C$23 million committed by SIF, up to C$5.8 million is not repayable by the Company. The remaining C$17.2 million is conditionally repayable starting in 2029 only if and when the Company earns gross revenue. The repayable portion would be payable over fifteen (15) years based on a percentage rate of the Company’s annual revenue growth. The maximum amount repayable under the 2023 SIF Agreement is 1.4 times the original repayable amount. In addition, the Company is entitled to partial reimbursement of certain eligible expenses under the 2023 SIF Agreement.

 

Under the 2023 SIF Agreement, the Company agreed to certain financial and non-financial covenants and other obligations in relation to the Project. Pursuant to the 2023 SIF Agreement, certain customary events of default, such as the Company’s or Edesa Biotech Research’s breach of their covenants and obligations under the 2023 SIF Agreement, their insolvency, winding up or dissolution, and other similar events, may permit the Government of Canada to declare an event of default under the 2023 SIF Agreement. Upon an event of default, subject to applicable cure, the Government of Canada may exercise a number of remedies, including suspending or terminating funding under the 2023 SIF Agreement, demanding repayment of funding previously received and/or terminating the 2023 SIF Agreement.

 

The funding and any associated conditional repayments are not secured by any assets of Edesa Biotech Research or the Company.

 

The Agreement will expire on the later of December 31, 2042 or the date of the last repayment, unless earlier terminated, subject to certain provisions that extend three (3) years beyond the term or early termination of the 2023 SIF Agreement.

 

15

 

Under the October 2023 SIF Agreement the Company recorded grant income of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, bringing the total recorded under the agreement to $1.8 million.

 

 

8. Financial Instruments

 

(a) Fair values

 

The Company uses the fair value measurement framework for valuing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis in situations where other accounting pronouncements either permit or require fair value measurements.

 

The Company follows the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

 

(b) Interest rate and credit risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a significant change in market interest rates, relative to interest rates on cash and cash equivalents due to the short-term nature of these balances.

 

The Company is also exposed to credit risk at period end from the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents and accounts and other receivable. The Company manages this risk by maintaining bank accounts with a Canadian Chartered Bank and a U.S. bank believed to be credit worthy and money market mutual funds of U.S. government securities. The Company’s cash is not subject to any external restrictions. The Company assesses the collectability of accounts receivable through a review of the current aging and terms, as well as an analysis of historical collection rates, general economic conditions and credit status of government agencies. Credit risk for the reimbursement grant and HST refunds receivable are not considered significant since amounts are due from the Canadian government’s SIF and the Canada Revenue Agency.

 

(c) Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company and its subsidiary have balances in Canadian dollars that give rise to exposure to foreign exchange (FX) risk relating to the impact of translating certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet accounts as these statements are presented in U.S. dollars. A strengthening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX loss while a weakening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX gain. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks. At June 30, 2025, the Company and its Canadian subsidiary had assets denominated in Canadian dollars of approximately C$3.5 million and the U.S. dollar exchange rate at this date was equal to 1.3654 Canadian dollars. Based on the exposure at June 30, 2025, a 10% annual change in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate would impact the Company’s loss and other comprehensive loss by approximately $0.3 million.

 

(d) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Company closely monitors its forecasted cash requirements with expected cash drawdown.

 

16

  

 

9. Loss per Share

 

The Company had securities outstanding which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

10. Related Party Transactions

 

On February 12, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement with the Series B-1 Investors. Pursuant to the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Series B-1 Investors in a private placement, an aggregate of (i) 834 Series B-1 Preferred Shares, each of which is initially convertible into approximately 5,208 Series B-1 Conversion Shares at a conversion price of $1.92 per Series B-1 Conversion Share, and (ii) 3,468,746 Common Shares. The purchase price per Series B-1 Preferred Share was $10,000 and the purchase price per common share was $1.92. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and a member of the board of directors purchased 100 Series B-1 Preferred Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million. A director purchased 41,666 Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $80,000. Another director purchased 10,416 Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $20,000. Entities affiliated with significant beneficial owners purchased, in aggregate, 2,687,500 Common Shares and 734 Series B-1 Preferred Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $12.5 million. A holder of Series B-1 Preferred Shares will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series B-1 Preferred Shares, if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the option of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving 61 days’ notice to the Company, but not to any percentage in excess of 19.99%.

 

In connection with the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement, on February 12, 2025, the Company also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (IRA) with the Series B-1 Investors, whereby the Company agreed to provide the Series B-1 Investors with certain registration and other rights. The IRA provides that the board of directors, following the Company’s annual meeting to be held on May 28, 2025, shall consist of seven members, one of whom shall be a director nominated by the lead investor (the “Lead Investor Nominee”), who shall serve on the board effective as of the Closing Date, until the earlier of such time as (i) the lead investor no longer holds at least 51% of the Common Shares (calculated on an as-converted-to-Common Shares basis), subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Shares issued in the private placement, or (ii) the lead investor beneficially owns less than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares as a result of a disposition of shares (such period, the “Lead Investor Rights Period”). The Company also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit shareholder approval of the Lead Investor Nominee at each general or special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which an election of directors is held during the Lead Investor Rights Period.

 

Additionally, the IRA includes certain protective provisions that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) amend, modify, alter or repeal any provision of the Company’s governing documents in a manner adverse to the holders of Series B-1 Preferred Shares, (ii) alter or change the special rights and restrictions of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares and (iii) increase or decrease the authorized number of Series B-1 Preferred Shares, in each case, without the written consent of the lead investor.

 

Pursuant to the IRA, during the Lead Investor Rights Period, the lead investor is entitled to designate one (1) non-voting observer to the Board to attend all meetings of the Board and committees and subcommittees thereof, subject to the terms of the IRA.

 

On October 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement with the Series A-1 Purchaser, an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and member of the board of directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Series A-1 Purchaser in a private placement, up to $5,000,000 of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, each of which is initially convertible into the Series A-1 Conversion Shares, at a conversion price of $3.445 per Series A-1 Conversion Share, and Warrants to purchase Common Shares at an exercise price of $3.445. Under the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the Series A-1 Purchaser has purchased 150 Series A-1 Preferred Shares initially convertible into an aggregate of 435,414 Series A-1 Conversion Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 326,560 Warrant Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,540,819. The offering of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants was structured as an at-market offering under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Series A-1 Purchaser will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series A-1 Preferred Shares, or exercise any portion of the Warrants, if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise. See Note 6 – Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares offering.

 

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid cash of $20,000  and $60,000 in 2025, and $20,000 and $60,000 in 2024, respectively, for a lease from a company controlled by the Company’s CEO. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by both parties. The Company extended the lease beyond its December 31, 2024 expiration to November 30, 2025 and upon expiry will be month to month and either party will have the right to terminate on 30 days’ notice.

In October 2023, the Company entered into $10.0 million revolving credit agreement with an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary and member of the Company’s board of directors (Credit Agreement), providing an unsecured revolving credit facility, with a credit limit of $3.5 million (Credit Limit) which was available immediately. The line of credit bore interest at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce US Base-Interest Rate plus 3% per annum and has a maturity date of March 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier by either party with 90 days’ notice. Advances under the line of credit are tied to a borrowing base (Borrowing Base) consisting of eligible grant receivables from SIF, future potential license fee receivables and any other accounts receivable. At no time shall the aggregate principal amount of all advances outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the Credit Limit and (ii) an amount equal to 85% of the Borrowing Base. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred standby charges of $0 and $13,000 in 2025 and $4,000 and $38,000 in 2024, respectively. The Credit Agreement was terminated in October 2024. Prior to the termination of the Credit Agreement, the Company had not borrowed any funds thereunder. The Company incurred no termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement.

Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions, and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as may, can, anticipate, assume, should, indicate, would, believe, contemplate, expect, seek, estimate, continue, plan, point to, project, predict, could, intend, target, potential and other similar words and expressions of the future.

 

There are a number of important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us. These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

 

our ability to obtain funding for our operations;

 

our estimates regarding our expenses, revenues, anticipated capital requirements and our needs for additional financing

 

the timing of the commencement, progress and receipt of data from any of our preclinical and clinical trials;

 

the expected results of any preclinical or clinical trial and the impact on the likelihood or timing of any regulatory approval;

 

the therapeutic benefits, effectiveness and safety of our product candidates;

 

18

 

 

the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals;

 

changes in our strategy or development plans;

 

the volatility of our common share price;

 

the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of any future products;

 

the effect of competition;

 

our ability to protect our intellectual property as well as comply with the terms of license agreements with third parties;

 

our ability to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq;

 

our ability to identify, develop and commercialize additional products or product candidates;

 

reliance on key personnel;

 

general changes in economic or business conditions; and

 

other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, as amended.

 

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. You should refer to the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC, on December 13, 2024, as amended, for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. We operate in an evolving environment and new risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this report will prove to be accurate. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. You should review the factors and risks and other information we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC.

 

Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative ways to treat inflammatory and immune-related diseases. Our approach is to acquire, develop and commercialize drug candidates based on mechanisms of action that have demonstrated proof-of-concept in human subjects. We prioritize our efforts on disease indications where there is compelling scientific rationale, no approved therapies or where there are unmet medical needs, and where there are large addressable market opportunities, among other factors. Our clinical pipeline is focused on two therapeutic areas: Medical Dermatology and Respiratory.

 

In Medical Dermatology we are developing EB06, an anti-CXCL10 monoclonal antibody candidate, as a therapy for vitiligo, a common autoimmune disorder that causes skin to lose its color in patches. CXCL10 has been shown to play a key role in the disease, and neutralization of CXCL10 has been demonstrated to both prevent and reverse depigmentation in animal models. To date, EB06 has demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile. We have received regulatory approval from Health Canada to conduct a Phase 2 proof of concept study of EB06 in patients with moderate-to-severe nonsegmental vitiligo and we are in discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the same study. Preparation for the manufacturing campaign began in our fiscal second quarter, and we have evaluated multiple development and manufacturing pathways to produce our drug. We anticipate data to be submitted to the FDA by the end of calendar 2025 based on the current availability of manufacturing slots at third party service providers. Our medical dermatology assets also include EB01 (1.0% daniluromer cream), a Phase 3-ready asset developed for use as a potential therapy for moderate-to-severe chronic Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD), a common occupational skin condition. This asset is at the partnering stage.

 

Our most advanced Respiratory drug candidate is EB05 (paridiprubart). Paridiprubart represents a new class of emerging therapies called Host-Directed Therapeutics (HDTs) that are designed to modulate the body’s own immune response when confronted with infectious diseases or even chemical agents. EB05 is currently being evaluated in the U.S. government-funded “Just Breathe” study investigating three novel threat-agnostic HDTs in hospitalized adult patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a life-threatening form of respiratory failure. During the third fiscal quarter, the U.S. government announced that the first randomizations of EB05 and other host directed therapeutics were completed. Certain development expenses, including manufacturing scale-up, for our EB05 program are also eligible for reimbursement from the Government of Canada under a 2023 grant and funding award. We are also pursuing additional uses for paridiprubart in chronic diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis (EB07 program). In light of our other development priorities, we are evaluating the timing for the next steps in our EB07 program.

Recent Developments

 

HCW ATM

 

In October 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as a sales agent (HCW ATM) pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, common shares through an at-the-market equity offering program for up to $3.87 million in gross proceeds. We have no obligation to sell any of the common shares and may at any time suspend sales or terminate the equity distribution agreement in accordance with its terms. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we sold a total of 304,057 common shares pursuant to the agreement for net proceeds of $0.8 million after deducting sales agent commissions of $25,000. We have not sold any common shares pursuant to the HCW ATM subsequent to June 30, 2025.

 

Amended Articles

 

On October 30, 2024, we filed Amended Articles to amend the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters pertaining to our newly designated Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares (Series A-1 Preferred Shares). The Series A-1 Preferred Shares have no par value and a stated value of $10,000 per share and rank, with respect to redemption payments, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or otherwise, senior in preference and priority to our common shares.

 

On February 12, 2025, we filed Amended Articles to create the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters pertaining to our newly designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Shares (Series B-1 Preferred Shares). The Series B-1 Preferred Shares have no par value and a stated value of $10,000 per share and rank, with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or otherwise, senior in preference and priority to our common shares and each other class or series of shares that rank junior to the Series B-1 Preferred Shares.

 

Series A-1 Preferred Shares Offering

 

On October 30, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (Series A-1 Purchase Agreement) with Pardeep Nijhawan Medicine Professional Corporation (Series A-1 Purchaser), an entity controlled by Pardeep Nijhawan, our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and member of our board of directors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Series A-1 Purchaser in a private placement, up to $5,000,000 of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, each of which is initially convertible into approximately 2,903 common shares at a conversion price of $3.445 per Series A-1 Conversion Share, and warrants (Warrants) to purchase common shares (Warrant Shares) at an exercise price of $3.445 per Warrant Share. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares and the Warrants are being sold together in a fixed combination of one Series A-1 Preferred Share and a Warrant to purchase a number of common shares equal to 75% of the underlying Series A-1 Conversion Shares at a combined purchase price of $10,272.13 per Series A-1 Preferred Share and related Warrants. Under the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the Series A-1 Purchaser has purchased 150 Series A-1 Preferred Shares initially convertible into an aggregate of 435,414 Series A-1 Conversion Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 326,560 Warrant Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,540,819. The offering of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants was structured as an at-market offering under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Series A-1 Purchaser will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series A-1 Preferred Shares, or exercise any portion of the Warrants, if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise.

 

Series B-1 Preferred Shares Offering

 

On February 12, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (Series B-1 Purchase Agreement) with a lead investor and several additional investors signatory thereto (the Series B-1 Investors), pursuant to which we sold to the Series B-1 Investors in a private placement, an aggregate of (i) 834 shares (Series B-1 Preferred Shares) of the Company’s newly designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Shares, stated value $10,000 per share, each of which is initially convertible into approximately 5,208 common shares (Series B-1 Conversion Shares) at a conversion price of $1.92 per Series B-1 Conversion Share, and (ii) 3,468,746 common shares. The purchase price per Series B-1 Preferred Share was $10,000 and the purchase price per common share was $1.92. The gross proceeds were approximately $15.0 million, prior to deducting offering expenses payable by us. A holder of Series B-1 Preferred Shares will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series B-1 Preferred Shares, if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the option of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving 61 days’ notice to the Company, but not to any percentage in excess of 19.99%.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

 

Total operating expenses for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were $1.9 million.

 

 

The following table summarizes our R&D expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, together with the dollar increase or decrease in those items:

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $0.9 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, as an increase in EB06-related expenses associated with preparations for the Phase 2 clinical study was offset by a decrease in external research expenses related to EB05. Our R&D expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, taxes, travel, and share-based compensation expense for personnel in R&D functions; expenses related to process development and production of product candidates paid to contract manufacturing organizations, including the cost of acquiring, developing, and manufacturing research material; costs associated with clinical activities, including expenses for contract research organizations; and clinical trials and activities related to regulatory filings for our product candidates, including regulatory consultants.

 

 

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $1.0 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, as a decrease in salaries and related costs was offset by an increase in noncash share-based compensation and professional service fees. Our G&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for our employees in administrative, executive and finance functions. G&A expenses also include professional fees for legal, accounting, audit, tax and consulting services, insurance, office, and travel expenses.

 

Total other income decreased by $110,000 to $154,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $264,000 for the same period last year and was composed of the following:

 

 

Grant income decreased by $53,000 to $183,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is related to the grant income associated with the activities under the 2023 SIF Agreement.

 

Interest income decreased to $600 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $33,000 for the same period last year primarily due to lower cash balances.

 

Foreign exchange loss was $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $5,000 for the same period last year.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our net loss was $1.7 million, or $0.25 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.52 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

R&D expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $2.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in external research expenses related to EB05 (paridiprubart), which was partially offset by an increase in costs related to EB06 associated with preparations for the Phase 2 clinical study. Our R&D expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, taxes, travel, and share-based compensation expense for personnel in R&D functions; expenses related to process development and production of product candidates paid to contract manufacturing organizations, including the cost of acquiring, developing, and manufacturing research material; costs associated with clinical activities, including expenses for contract research organizations; and clinical trials and activities related to regulatory filings for our product candidates, including regulatory consultants.

 

 

G&A expenses decreased by $0.2 million to $3.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.2 million for the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in professional service fees and noncash share-based compensation. Our G&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for our employees in administrative, executive and finance functions. G&A expenses also include professional fees for legal, accounting, audit, tax and consulting services, insurance, office, and travel expenses.

 

Total other income decreased by $0.3 million to $0.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.8 million for the same period last year and was composed of the following:

 

 

Grant income remained decreased by $0.2 million to $0.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.6 million for the same period last year and the nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease is related to the grant income associated with the activities under the 2023 SIF Agreement.

 

Interest income decreased to $3,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $137,000 for the same period last year primarily due to lower cash balances.

 

Foreign exchange loss was $54,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $10,000 for the same period last year.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, our net loss was $5.0 million, or $0.95 per common share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $1.64 per common share for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Our capital expenditures primarily consist of computer and office equipment. There were no significant capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

22

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As a clinical-stage company we have not generated significant revenue, and we expect to incur operating losses as we continue our efforts to acquire, develop, seek regulatory approval for and commercialize product candidates and execute on our strategic initiatives. Our operations have historically been funded through issuances of common shares, exercises of common share purchase warrants, convertible preferred shares, convertible loans, government grants and tax incentives.

 

Our primary use of cash is to fund our operating expenses, which consist of R&D and G&A expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We incurred net losses of $5.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for those same periods.

 

On February 12, 2025, we entered into the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement with the Series B-1 Investors, pursuant to which we sold to the Series B-1 Investors in a private placement, an aggregate of (i) 834 Series B-1 Preferred Shares, each of which is initially convertible into approximately 5,208 Series B-1 Conversion Shares at a conversion price of $1.92 per Series B-1 Conversion Share, and (ii) 3,468,746 common shares. The purchase price per Series B-1 Preferred Share was $10,000 and the purchase price per common share was $1.92. The gross proceeds were approximately $15.0 million, prior to deducting offering expenses payable by us. A holder of Series B-1 Preferred Shares will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series B-1 Preferred Shares if, together with its affiliates, it would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the option of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving 61 days’ notice to the Company, but not to any percentage in excess of 19.99%.

 

In October 2024, we entered into the HCW ATM pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, common shares through an at-the-market equity offering program for up to $3.87 million in gross proceeds. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 there were no common shares sold pursuant to the agreement. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we sold a total of 304,057 common shares pursuant to the agreement for net proceeds of $0.8 million after deducting sales agent commissions of $25,000. We have not sold any common shares pursuant to the HCW ATM subsequent to June 30, 2025.

 

In October 2024, we entered into the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement with the Series A-1 Purchaser, an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and member of our board of directors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Series A-1 Purchaser in a private placement, up to $5 million of Series A-1 Preferred Shares, each of which is initially convertible into approximately 2,903 Series A-1 Conversion Shares, at a conversion price of $3.445 per Series A-1 Conversion Share, and Warrants to purchase the Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $3.445 per Warrant Share. The Series A-1 Preferred Shares and the Warrants were being sold together in a fixed combination of one Series A-1 Preferred Share and a Warrant to purchase a number of common shares equal to 75% of the underlying Series A-1 Conversion Shares at a combined purchase price of $10,272.13 per Series A-1 Preferred Share and related Warrants. Under the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the Series A-1 Purchaser has purchased 150 Series A-1 Preferred Shares initially convertible into an aggregate of 435,414 Series A-1 Conversion Shares and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 326,560 Warrant Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,540,819. The Warrants expire five years from the issuance date. We have the right to require the Series A-1 Purchaser to purchase additional Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants (up to an aggregate investment of $5.0 million); provided however, no more than an aggregate of $2.0 million of Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Warrants may be issued and sold pursuant to the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement without shareholder approval in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

 

In October 2023, we entered into the 2023 SIF Agreement with the Canadian Government’s SIF. Under the 2023 SIF Agreement, the Government of Canada committed up to C$23 million in partially repayable funding. Of the C$23 million committed by SIF, up to C$5.8 million is not repayable by us. The remaining C$17.2 million is conditionally repayable starting in 2029 only if and when we earn gross revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded grant income of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the 2023 SIF Agreement. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded grant income of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the 2023 SIF Agreement.

 

In October 2023, we entered into $10.0 million revolving credit agreement with an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary and member of our board of directors (Credit Agreement), providing an unsecured revolving credit facility, with a credit limit of $3.5 million (Credit Limit) which was available immediately. The line of credit bore interest at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce US Base-Interest Rate plus 3% per annum and has a maturity date of March 31, 2026, unless terminated earlier by either party with 90 days’ notice. Advances under the line of credit were tied to a borrowing base (Borrowing Base) consisting of eligible grant receivables from SIF, future potential license fee receivables and any other accounts receivable. At no time could the aggregate principal amount of all advances outstanding have exceeded the lesser of (i) the Credit Limit and (ii) an amount equal to 85% of the Borrowing Base. The Credit Agreement was terminated in October 2024. Prior to the termination of the Credit Agreement, we had not borrowed any funds thereunder. We incurred no termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement.

 

In August 2022, we filed a $150.0 million shelf registration statement. In March 2023, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, common shares through an at-the-market equity offering program for up to $20 million in gross proceeds, subject to certain offering limitations that currently allow us to offer and sell common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $8.4 million (Canaccord ATM). During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold a total of 89,249 common shares pursuant to the agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $0.3 million after deducting sales agent commissions of $9,000. The Canaccord ATM was terminated in October 2024.

At June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $63.6 million and working capital of $12.1 million, including $12.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. In the nine months ended, June 30, 2025, we received proceeds of $1.5 million from the initial sale of Series A-1 Preferred Shares to the Series A-1 Purchaser and gross proceeds of $15.0 million from the sale of common shares and Series B-1 Preferred Shares in a private placement. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025, including the net proceeds from the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement, the $15.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of common shares and Series B-1 Preferred Shares, HCW ATM and reimbursements of eligible R&D expenses under the 2023 SIF Agreement will be used to fund our operating expenses including the advancement of the vitiligo program through the end of fiscal 2026. Management has flexibility to adjust this timeline by making changes to planned expenditures related to, among other factors, the size and timing of clinical trial expenditures and manufacturing campaigns, staffing levels, and the acquisition or in-licensing of new product candidates. To help fund our operations and meet our obligations in the future, we plan to seek additional financing through the sale of equity, government grants, debt financings or other capital sources, including potential future licensing, collaboration or similar arrangements with third parties or other strategic transactions. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences that are not favorable to us or our existing shareholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development of our product candidates.

 

We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue to develop our product candidates and seek marketing approval and, subject to obtaining such approval, the eventual commercialization of our product candidates. If we obtain marketing approval for our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing and outsourced manufacturing expenses. In addition, we expect to incur additional expenses to add operational, financial and information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our planned product commercialization efforts. We also expect to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls and similar requirements applicable to us as a public company. To continue to grow our business over the longer term, we plan to commit substantial resources to research and development, clinical trials of our product candidates, and other operations and potential product acquisitions and in licensing. We have evaluated and expect to continue to evaluate a wide array of strategic transactions as part of our plan to acquire or in license and develop additional products and product candidates to augment our internal development pipeline. Strategic transaction opportunities that we may pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur additional indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. In addition, we may pursue development, acquisition or in licensing of approved or development products in new or existing therapeutic areas or continue the expansion of our existing operations. Accordingly, we expect to continue to opportunistically seek access to additional capital to license or acquire additional products, product candidates or companies to expand our operations, or for general corporate purposes. Strategic transactions may require us to raise additional capital through one or more public or private debt or equity financings or could be structured as a collaboration or partnering arrangement. We have no arrangements, agreements, or understandings in place at the present time to enter into any acquisition, in licensing or similar strategic business transaction.

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an improvement in net loss offset by an investment in working capital of $1.1 million, compared to a recovery of working capital $0.7 million in the comparable period.

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

There was no cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Research and Development

 

Our primary business is the development of innovative therapeutics for inflammatory and immune-related diseases with clear unmet medical needs. We focus our resources on R&D activities, including the conduct of clinical studies and product development, and expense such costs as they are incurred. R&D expenses, which have historically varied based on the level of activity in our clinical programs, are significantly influenced by study initiation expenses and patient recruitment rates, and as a result are expected to continue to fluctuate, sometimes substantially. Our R&D expenses were $0.9 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.9 million and $2.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily related to lower clinical expenses related to EB05, partially offset by an increase in costs related to EB06 as we prepare for the Phase 2 clinical study.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide disclosure under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that material information related to our Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, by others within those entities on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
