Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 28, 2017, Oncobiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notification from the Nasdaq indicating that as of June 28, 2017, the Company did not meet the $50,000,000 minimum market value of listed securities required to maintain continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Rule”), and that as of June 28, 2017, the Company did not meet the alternative continued listing standards based on minimum stockholders’ equity or total assets/total revenue. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Under Nasdaq Rules, the Company will have 180 calendar days from the date of the notification to regain compliance by meeting the continued listing requirement, namely the market value of listed securities closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company is unable to regain compliance during the 180-day period, and the Company receives a delisting determination from Nasdaq, the Company may, at that time, request a hearing to remain on the Nasdaq Global Market, which request will ordinarily suspend such delisting determination until a decision by Nasdaq subsequent to the hearing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the continued listing requirements and maintaining its listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

Item 8.01

Other Events

On July 25, 2017, Oncobiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a binding exclusivity agreement with a third party. Under the exclusivity agreement, the Company agreed not to pursue any alternative transactions (broadly defined to encompass most equity and debt financing transactions, as well as acquisitions), subject to certain limited exceptions, for a period of 75 days (which may be extended for two 20-day periods). There is no guarantee that the Company will enter into any definitive agreements with the third party. In the event the Company and the third party do not enter into a binding transaction but the Company enters into an alternative transaction within three months following termination of the exclusivity agreement, the Company agreed to pay the third party a break-up fee of $7.5 million.

On the same date, the Company also entered into a strategic licensing agreement with the same third party, under which it granted the third party and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, sublicensable license in the agreed territory for the research, development, manufacture, use or sale of the ONS-1045 biosimilar product candidate in the agreed territory. The agreed territory includes all emerging markets but specifically excludes major developed markets, such as the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and smaller markets where the Company has existing licensing arrangements, such as Mexico, greater China and India.

Under the terms of the strategic licensing agreement, the Company received an upfront payment from the third party of $1.25 million, and is scheduled to receive an additional $1.25 million upon a notice and acknowledgment milestone. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties at upper single-digit percentage rates of annual net sales of products by the licensee and its affiliates in the agreed territory.

Since inception, the Company has advanced two product candidates into clinical trials: a Phase 3-ready biosimilar to adalimumab (Humira®) and a Phase 3-ready biosimilar to bevacizumab (Avastin®). Additionally, the Company has six preclinical biosimilar product candidates in various stages of development.

In May 2016, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its securities by offering 5,833,334 units. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock, one-half of a Series A warrant and one-half of a Series B warrant. Each whole Series A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.60, subject to adjustment. Each whole Series B warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $8.50, subject to adjustment. The IPO price was $6.00 per unit. In addition, the Company also completed a concurrent private placement of an additional 833,332 shares of its common stock, 416,666 Series A warrants and 416,666 Series B warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. On May 13, 2016, the units began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market. The units separated in accordance with their terms and ceased trading, and on June 13, 2016, the component securities (common stock, Series A warrants and Series B warrants) began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market. As a result of the IPO and the concurrent private placement, the Company received approximately $33.8 million in net proceeds, after deducting discounts and commissions of approximately $2.9 million and offering expenses of approximately $3.3 million payable by the Company.

2. Liquidity

The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $179.9 million as of June 30, 2017. The Company has substantial indebtedness that includes $15.0 million of senior secured notes due in December 2017 and $4.6 million in notes payable to stockholders that are payable on demand. There can be no assurance that the holders of the stockholder notes will not exercise their right to demand repayment. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its products currently in development. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2017 and the $2.5 million of cash proceeds received in July and August 2017 from licensing the emerging market rights to ONS-1045 will be sufficient to fund its operations through September 2017. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its product candidates. Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to: sales of equity and/or debt securities, payments from potential strategic

research and development, licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, potential disposition of some assets, and exploring additional cost reduction opportunities. In July 2017, the Company entered into a binding exclusivity agreement with a third party for a potential strategic transaction to provide funding to support its development programs. While the Company is actively pursuing this transaction, there can be no guarantee that it will be able to enter into a definitive agreement with this party. Additionally, there can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful, and if not successful, the Company may be required to explore all other alternatives.

The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above; (ii) the Company’s ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies; (iii) the success of its research and development; (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately; (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s proposed future products.

3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2017. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended to date, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on December 29, 2016.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Income taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0 and $500 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $4,000 and $103,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which is primarily attributable to state and foreign withholding taxes in connection with the Company’s collaboration and licensing agreements.

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.

For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average common shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include warrants, stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method. The diluted loss per common share calculation is further affected by an add-back of change in fair value of warrant liability to the numerator under the assumption that the change in fair value of warrant liability would not have been incurred if the warrants had been converted into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

	Three months ended June 30,						Nine months ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Basic Earnings Per Share
Net loss	$	(5,326,918	)	$	(30,194,459	)	$	(32,470,516	)	$	(52,571,004	)
Common stock outstanding (weighted average)		24,442,056			18,816,708			23,788,046			15,336,117
Basic net loss per share	$	(0.22	)	$	(1.60	)	$	(1.36	)	$	(3.43	)
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Net loss		(5,326,918	)		(30,194,459	)		(32,470,516	)		(52,571,004	)
Add change in fair value of warrant liability		-			-			(3,976,397	)		-
Diluted net loss		(5,326,918	)		(30,194,459	)		(36,446,913	)		(52,571,004	)

Common stock outstanding (weighted average)		24,442,056			18,816,708			23,788,046			15,336,117
Add shares from dilutive warrants		-			-			25,864			-
Common stock equivalents		24,442,056			18,816,708			23,813,910			15,336,117
Diluted net loss per share	$	(0.22	)	$	(1.60	)	$	(1.53	)	$	(3.43	)

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, as they would be antidilutive:

	June 30,
	2017		2016
Performance-based stock units		214,413		247,598
Restricted stock units		1,068,260		1,096,171
Common stock warrants		7,760,988		8,186,935

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about:

Table of Contents

Oncobiologics, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Contracts with customers — including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations).

Significant judgments and changes in judgments — determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.

Certain assets — assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

In July 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance. As a result, this guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update explicitly require a company’s management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The Company adopted this new standard effective in the quarter ended after December 31, 2016.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, (Topic 842). This new ASU represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and introduces a lease model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. It also eliminates the required use of bright-line tests in current U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019), and interim periods thereafter. Earlier application is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payment transactions. The pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This new ASU is intended provide clarity and reduce both the diversity in practice of and cost and complexity of applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Table of Contents

Oncobiologics, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

■

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

■

Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

■

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	June 30, 2017
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Liabilities
Warrant liability	$	-	$	-	$	1,457,026

The table presented below is a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 valuation for the warrant liability for the nine months ended June 30, 2017:

Balance at October 1, 2016	$	-
Issuance of warrants		5,493,619
Exercise of warrants		(60,196	)
Change in fair value		(3,976,397	)
Balance at June 30, 2017	$	1,457,026

The warrants issued in connection with the senior secured notes are classified as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as the warrants include cash settlement features at the option of the holders under certain circumstances. The warrant liability is revalued each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised or expire. The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

		June 30,
		2017
Risk-free interest rate		1.66%
Remaining contractual life of warrant		4.61 years
Expected volatility		82%
Annual dividend yield		0%
Fair value of common stock		$1.00 per share

Oncobiologics, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “NWPA”) with accredited investors providing for the issuance and sale of up to $10.0 million of senior secured promissory notes (the “Notes”), which bear interest at a rate of 5% per year and mature December 22, 2017 and warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, which have a five-year term. The Company closed the initial sale and purchase of the Notes and Warrants on December 22, 2016, issuing $8.35 million aggregate principal amount of Notes and Warrants to acquire up to 1,920,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $6.5 million of cash and an aggregate of $1.85 million of existing unsecured bridge notes issued by the Company in October, November and December 2016. The proceeds were first allocated to the warrant liability based on their initial fair value of $3.3 million with a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount. In addition, the Company incurred $40,000 of debt issuance costs that have been recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes.

The Company used $2.4 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay off its remaining senior secured bank loans, and will use the remainder for working capital purposes. In January 2017, the Company issued the remaining Notes and Warrants for $1.65 million of cash.

On April 13, 2017, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the NWPA (the “Amendment”) with the required holders of its Notes named therein, to amend certain terms of the NWPA. The primary purpose of the Amendment was to increase the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be sold under the NWPA from $10.0 million to $15.0 million, and permit the issuance of additional Warrants to acquire an aggregate 1,665,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and extend the time that the Company may issue additional Notes and Warrants without approval of the holders of existing notes from 90 days to 180 days. Notes sold under the Amendment will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum and mature December 2017 (12 months from the date of the NWPA).

During April and May 2017, the Company issued an additional $5.0 million of Notes and Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,304,500 shares of its common stock. The proceeds were first allocated to the warrant liability based on their initial fair value of $1.4 million with a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount. In addition, the Company incurred $3,635 of debt issuance costs that have been recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes.

Under the NWPA and the Amendment, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to repay indebtedness to officers, pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company’s assets, other than as permitted, or enter into any transactions with affiliates. In addition to the negative covenants in the NWPA, the Notes include customary events of default. In connection with the closing of the initial sale of the Notes and Warrants, the Company entered into a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, each dated December 22, 2016, granting the holders of the Notes a security interest in all of its assets, as well as a Registration Rights Agreement dated February 3, 2017.

Interest expense on the Notes for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,500,500 and $2,548,428, respectively.

8. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Lincoln Park Capital, LLC transaction

On March 8, 2017, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with an accredited investor, Lincoln Park Capital, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), providing for the purchase of up to $15.4 million of the Company’s common stock over the 30-month term of the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 113,205 shares of its common stock as initial commitment shares, to Lincoln Park and the Company will issue, pro rata, up to an additional 113,206 shares of its common stock as additional commitment shares to Lincoln Park in connection with any additional purchases.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to an additional $15.0 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $1.50 per share, the Company may direct Lincoln Park, at the Company’s sole discretion to purchase up to 30,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for such purchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date (in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or after the date of the Purchase Agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases, subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.

In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchases if the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 4.99% of its common stock. There are neither trading volume requirements nor restrictions under the Purchase Agreement nor upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does not have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such event of default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 737,817 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park for $1,620,931, and incurred $117,540 of issuance costs. In addition, the Company issued 122,418 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as commitment shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

10. Subsequent Events

Exclusivity and strategic licensing agreement

On July 25, 2017, the Company entered into a binding exclusivity agreement with a third party. Under the exclusivity agreement, the Company agreed not to pursue any alternative transactions (broadly defined to encompass most equity and debt financing transactions, as well as acquisitions), subject to certain limited exceptions, for a period of 75 days (which may be extended for two 20-day periods). There is no guarantee that the Company will enter into any definitive agreements with the third party. In the event the Company and the third party do not enter into a binding transaction but the Company enters into an alternative transaction within three months following termination of the exclusivity agreement, the Company agreed to pay the third party a break-up fee of $7.5 million.

Under the terms of the strategic licensing agreement, the Company received an initial upfront payment from the third party of $1.25 million, and an additional $1.25 million upon meeting a notice and acknowledgment milestone . In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties at upper single-digit percentage rates of annual net sales of products by the licensee and its affiliates in the agreed territory.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, developing, manufacturing and commercializing complex biosimilar therapeutics. Our current focus is on technically challenging and commercially attractive monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, in the disease areas of immunology and oncology. A mAb is a type of protein that is produced by a single clone of cells or cell line and made to bind to a specific substance in the body. Our strategy is to cost-effectively develop these biosimilars on an accelerated timeline, which is fundamental to our success and we believe positions us to be a leading biosimilar company. We have leveraged our team’s biopharmaceutical expertise to establish fully integrated in-house development and manufacturing capabilities, which we refer to as our BioSymphony Platform. We believe this platform addresses the numerous complex technical and regulatory challenges in developing and commercializing mAb biosimilars and was designed to provide significant pricing flexibility. We have identified eight biosimilar product candidates for further development and have advanced two of these product candidates through Phase 1 clinical trials and into preparations for Phase 3 clinical trials: ONS-3010, a biosimilar to adalimumab (Humira^®), and ONS-1045, a biosimilar to bevacizumab (Avastin^®).

ONS-3010 We have successfully completed a randomized, double-blind, single-dose and single-center Phase 1 clinical trial comparing ONS-3010 to Humira^®in three treatment arms. In this trial, ONS-3010 met its primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating a similar pharmacokinetic (meaning how the body affects the molecule), or PK, profile, as well as an immunogenicity profile equivalent to both U.S.- and E.U.-Humira^® across all three treatment arms. In addition, ONS-3010 demonstrated a rate of injection site reactions lower than that of Humira^®. We have received regulatory feedback and agreement on our Phase 3 clinical trial design in the sensitive plaque psoriasis patient population from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, the European Medical Agency, or EMA, and national agencies such as the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, and the Swedish regulatory authority. We plan to initiate our Phase 3 program in 500+ plaque psoriasis patients in 2018 upon the receipt of further partnership and other funding. The ONS-3010 Phase 3 program has been reviewed by the FDA and is designed to support both biosimilarity and interchangeability to Humira^®. Humira^®is currently approved in the United States for multiple indications. We initially intend to seek approval of ONS-3010 for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, and will seek to expand

Table of Contents

such approval to the same indications as Humira^® as appropriate. We have informed the regulatory authorities of our intent to seek extrapolation to all approved Humira^®indications, and have also reviewed our Phase 3 interchangeability study design with the FDA.

ONS-1045 We have completed a randomized, double-blind, single-dose and single-center Phase 1 clinical trial. In this trial, ONS-1045 met its primary and secondary endpoints demonstrating a similar PK profile, as well as an immunogenicity profile equivalent to both U.S.- and EU- Avastin^®. We are preparing ONS-1045 for a global Phase 3 clinical trial treating 700+ non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer patients to commence in mid-2018 upon receipt of funding from a development partner. Avastin^®is currently approved in the United States for multiple indications. We initially intend to seek approval of ONS-1045 for the treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, and will seek to expand such approval to the same indications as Avastin^®when appropriate. We have informed the regulatory authorities of our intent to seek extrapolation to all approved Avastin^®indications, and have also discussed our study design with the FDA.

Through June 30, 2017, we have funded substantially all of our operations through the sale and issuance of our common stock, preferred stock and senior secured notes and warrants, generating approximately $156.4 million in net proceeds.

As described in their audit report included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 filed on December 29, 2016 with the SEC, as amended to date, our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph that states that we have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and have an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2016 of $147.4 million and $4.6 million of indebtedness that is due on demand. We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our planned future operations, commence Phase 3 clinical trials, receive approval for and commercialize ONS-3010 and ONS-1045 and continue to develop our other pipeline candidates. We plan to finance our future operations with a combination of proceeds from current and potential future collaborations, the issuance of equity securities, the issuance of additional debt, and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the development and commercialization of ONS-3010, ONS-1045 or any other current or future biosimilar product candidates. If we are unable to secure adequate additional funding, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Our current cash resources as of June 30, 2017 along with the $2.5 million of cash proceeds received in July and August 2017 from licensing the emerging market rights to ONS-1045 will be sufficient to fund our operations through September 2017. In conjunction with the July 2017 ONS-1045 emerging markets license agreement, we entered into a binding exclusivity agreement with the same third party for a potential strategic transaction to provide funding to support our development programs. While we are actively pursuing this transaction, there is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into a definitive agreement with this party. If we are not successful in raising additional capital or entering into one or more licensing and/or co-development rights agreements or other opportunities, we will be required to further scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold as we explore other alternatives.

We do not have any products approved for sale and we have only generated limited revenue from our collaboration agreements. We have incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception and there is no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations, and if achieved, that profitable operations will be sustained. Our net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $32.5 million. We also had net losses of $53.3 million and $47.4 million for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our development activities, clinical and preclinical testing and commercialization of our product candidates will require significant additional financing.

Collaboration and License Agreements

From time to time, we enter into collaboration and license agreements for the research and development, manufacture and/or commercialization of our biosimilar products and/or biosimilar product candidates. These agreements generally provide for non-refundable upfront license fees, development and commercial performance milestone payments, cost sharing, royalty payments and/or profit sharing.

Selexis SA

In October 2011, we entered into a research license agreement with Selexis SA, or Selexis, pursuant to which we acquired a non-exclusive license to conduct research internally or in collaboration with third parties to develop recombinant proteins from mammalian cell lines created using the Selexis expression technology, or the Selexis Technology. The original research license had a three-year term, but on October 9, 2014, was extended for an additional three-year term through October 9, 2017. We may sublicense our rights with Selexis’ prior written consent but are prohibited from making commercial use of the Selexis Technology or the resultant recombinant proteins comprising our biosimilars in humans, or from filing an investigational new drug, absent a commercial license agreement with Selexis covering the particular biosimilar product candidate developed under the research license. In connection with the entry into the research license, we paid Selexis an initial fee and agreed to make additional annual maintenance payments of the same amount for each of the three years that the research license agreement term was extended.

Selexis also granted us a non-transferrable option to obtain a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide commercial license under the Selexis Technology to manufacture, or have manufactured, a recombinant protein produced by a cell line developed using the Selexis Technology for clinical testing and commercial sale. We exercised this option in April 2013 and entered into three commercial license agreements with Selexis for our ONS-3010, ONS-1045 and ONS-1050 biosimilar candidates. We paid an upfront licensing fee to Selexis for each commercial license and also agreed to pay a fixed milestone payment for each licensed product. In addition, we are required to pay a single-digit royalty on a final product-by-final product and country-by-country basis, based on worldwide net sales of such final products by us or any of our affiliates or sub-licensees during the royalty term. At any time during the term, we have the right to terminate our royalty payment obligation by providing written notice to Selexis and paying Selexis a royalty termination fee.

IPCA Laboratories Limited — Humira (ONS-3010), Avastin (ONS-1045) and Herceptin (ONS-1050)

In August 2013, we entered into a strategic license agreement with IPCA Laboratories Limited, or IPCA, under which we granted IPCA and its affiliates a license for the research, development, manufacture, use or sale of ONS-3010 and, by amendment in May 2014, ONS-1045. The license is exclusive with respect to India, Sri Lanka and Myanmar, and non-exclusive with respect to Nepal and Bhutan. Under the terms of the August 2013 agreement, we received an upfront payment from IPCA, and are eligible to earn additional regulatory milestone payments for each of ONS-3010 and ONS-1045. In addition, we are eligible to receive royalties at a low teens percentage rate of annual net sales of products by IPCA and its affiliates in the agreed territory.

In January 2014, we entered into an agreement with IPCA to assist IPCA in establishing its research, development and manufacturing capabilities for mAbs and biologics, including, in part, through collaborative development, manufacture and commercialization of ONS-1050 (our Herceptin biosimilar), in the agreed territory (as specified below). The agreed territory for ONS-1050 includes the Republics of India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan, while the agreed territory for any product candidates developed independent of our involvement is global without geographical restriction. We also agreed to assist IPCA with its research and development program. Under the terms of the January 2014 agreement, we are eligible to receive development payments and commercialization fees. In addition, we are eligible to receive royalties from IPCA at a mid-single digit rate on annual net sales of ONS-1050 commercialized by IPCA and its affiliates in the agreed territory.

As of June 30, 2017, we have received an aggregate of $5.0 million of payments from IPCA under our various agreements.

Liomont — Humira (ONS-3010) and Avastin (ONS-1045)

In June 2014, we entered into a strategic license agreement with Laboratories Liomont, S.A. de C.V., or Liomont, under which we granted Liomont and its affiliates an exclusive, sublicenseable license in Mexico for the research, development, manufacture, use or sale of the ONS-3010 and ONS-1045 biosimilar product candidates in Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement, we

Table of Contents

received an upfront payment from Liomont, and we are eligible to earn milestone payments for each of ONS-3010 and ONS-1045. In addition, we are eligible to receive tiered royalties at upper single-digit to low teens percentage rates of annual net sales of products by Liomont and its affiliates in Mexico. As of June 30, 2017, we have received an aggregate of $3.0 million of upfront and milestone payments from Liomont.

Huahai — Humira (ONS-3010) and Avastin (ONS-1045)

In May 2013, we entered into a series of agreements with Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., or Huahai, to form an alliance for the purpose of developing and obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercial launch and marketing of licensed products in an agreed territory, as described below. The agreements include a strategic alliance agreement, which sets out the governance framework for the relationship, along with a joint participation agreement regarding joint development and commercialization of ONS-3010, and a co-development and license agreement for each of ONS-3010 and ONS-1045. As of June 30, 2017, we have received an aggregate of $16.0 million of upfront and milestone payments from Huahai.

As contemplated by the strategic alliance agreement, we entered into a joint participation agreement with Huahai where we agreed to co-fund the development and share the value ownership interest of ONS-3010 in the United States, Canada, European Union, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Under the agreement as amended, we are responsible for completing a defined “Phase-3 Ready Package” at our expense, for which the portion of the funds received from Huahai to date under this joint participation agreement was used.

In the event Huahai funds its proportionate share of development costs incurred after completion of the “Phase-3 Ready Packages,” Huahai would be entitled to retain its 51% value ownership, with us entitled to retain our 49% value ownership, of ONS-3010 in the agreed territories. Similarly, revenues from commercialization of ONS-3010 in the agreed countries (including major markets such as the United States and the European Union, or EU, among others), would also be shared based on such proportional ownership interests. In the event that Huahai does not fund its proportionate share of such development costs, the joint participation agreement provides for a proportionate adjustment to our respective value ownership interests based on our respective investments in such development costs, which would increase our value ownership interest in ONS-3010. Under the joint participation agreement, we could also be required to form a joint venture to further develop and commercialize ONS-3010 with Huahai in the agreed countries, if so requested by Huahai.

In conjunction with the strategic alliance agreement, we also entered into a co-development and license agreement with Huahai, under which we granted Huahai and its affiliates an exclusive license, in the territory (as specified below) for the research, development, manufacture, use or sale of ONS-3010 or ONS-1045 in China, including, the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. We will each bear our respective costs under the development plans. Huahai agreed to carry out all clinical, manufacturing and regulatory requirements necessary for approval of the products in the agreed territory. Under the terms of the agreement, we received an upfront payment from Huahai for ONS-3010, and have received regulatory milestone payments for each of ONS-3010 and ONS-1045.

Emerging Markets – Avastin (ONS-1045)

On July 25, 2017, we entered into a strategic licensing agreement with an unaffiliated third party, under which it granted the third party and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive, sublicensable license in the agreed territory for the research, development, manufacture, use or sale of the ONS-1045 biosimilar product candidate in the agreed territory. The agreed territory includes all emerging markets but specifically excludes major developed markets, such as the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and smaller markets where we have existing licensing arrangements, such as Mexico, greater China and India. Under the terms of the strategic licensing agreement, we received an initial upfront payment from the third party of $1.25 million, and an additional $1.25 million upon meeting a notice and acknowledgment milestone. In addition, we are eligible to receive royalties at upper single-digit percentage rates of annual net sales of products by the licensee and its affiliates in the agreed territory.

On the same date, we also entered into a binding exclusivity agreement with the same third party. Under the exclusivity agreement, we agreed not to pursue any alternative transactions (broadly defined to encompass most equity and debt financing transactions, as well as acquisitions), subject to certain limited exceptions, for a period of 75 days (which may be extended for two 20-day periods). There is no guarantee that we will enter into any definitive agreements with the third party. In the event we and the third party

Table of Contents

do not enter into a binding transaction but we enter into an alternative transaction within three months following termination of the exclusivity agreement, we agreed to pay the third party a break-up fee of $7.5 million.

Components of our Results of Operations

Collaboration Revenue

To date, we have derived revenue only from activities pursuant to our collaboration and licensing agreements. We have not generated any revenue from commercial product sales. For the foreseeable future, we expect all of our revenue, if any, will be generated from our collaboration and licensing agreements. If any of our biosimilar product candidates currently under development are approved for commercial sale, we may generate revenue from product sales, or alternatively, we may choose to select a collaborator to commercialize our product candidates.

The following table sets forth a summary of revenue recognized from our collaboration and licensing agreements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three months ended June 30,				Nine months ended June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016

IPCA Collaboration	$	65,268	$	105,433	$	195,804	$	316,299
Liomont Collaboration		59,160		95,566		177,481		1,286,698
Huahai Collaboration		178,712		293,895		536,136		881,685
	$	303,140	$	494,894	$	909,421	$	2,484,682

The following table summarizes the milestone payments and recognition of deferred revenues from our collaboration and licensing agreements during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three months ended June 30,				Nine months ended June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016

Milestone payments	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	1,000,000
Recognition of deferred revenues		303,140		494,894		909,421		1,484,682
	$	303,140	$	494,894	$	909,421	$	2,484,682

Each of our collaboration and licensing agreements is considered to be a multiple-element arrangement for accounting purposes. We determined that there are two deliverables; specifically, the license to our biosimilar product candidate and the related research and development services that we are obligated to provide. We concluded that these deliverables should be accounted for as a single unit of accounting. We determined that the upfront license payments received should be deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis through the estimated period of completion of our obligations under the agreement. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we revised our estimate of the period of completion from December 2019 to December 2021. We recognize revenues from the achievement of milestones if the milestone event is substantive and achievability of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our biosimilar product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

manufacturing scale-up expenses and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials and commercial materials, including manufacturing validation batches;

outsourced professional scientific development services;

employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;

Table of Contents

payments made under a third-party assignment agreement, under which we acquired intellectual property;

expenses relating to regulatory activities, including filing fees paid to regulatory agencies;

laboratory materials and supplies used to support our research activities; and

allocated expenses, utilities and other facility-related costs.

The successful development of our biosimilar product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from any of our other biosimilar product candidates. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the duration and cost of clinical trials, which vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of many factors, including:

the number of clinical sites included in the trials;

the length of time required to enroll suitable patients

the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trials;

the number of doses patients receive;

the duration of patient follow-up;

the results of our clinical trials;

the establishment of commercial manufacturing capabilities;

the receipt of marketing approvals; and

the commercialization of product candidates.

Our expenditures are subject to additional uncertainties, including the terms and timing of regulatory approvals. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our biosimilar product candidates. We may obtain unexpected results from our clinical trials. We may elect to discontinue, delay or modify clinical trials of some biosimilar product candidates or focus on others. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a biosimilar product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that biosimilar product candidate. For example, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or other regulatory authorities were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. Biosimilar product commercialization will take several years and millions of dollars in development costs.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Biosimilar product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we increase personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, conduct clinical trials and prepare regulatory filings for our biosimilar product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, administrative, finance and legal functions, including stock-based compensation, travel expenses and recruiting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include facility related costs, patent filing and prosecution costs and professional fees for business development, legal, auditing and tax services and insurance costs.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase as a result of increased payroll, expanded infrastructure and an increase in accounting, consulting, legal and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with stock exchange listing and SEC requirements, investor relations costs, and director and officer insurance premiums associated with being a public company. We also anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in support of our clinical trials as we expand and progress our development programs. Additionally, if and when we believe a regulatory approval of a biosimilar product candidate appears likely, we anticipate an increase in payroll and expense as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, particularly as it relates to the sales and marketing of our biosimilar product.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of cash paid and non-cash interest expense related to our senior secured notes, former bank loans, notes with current and former stockholders, equipment loans and capital lease obligations.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

Warrants to purchase our common stock that have been issued in conjunction with our senior secured notes are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and we recognize any change in fair value in our statements of operations as other (income) expense.

Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $0 and $4,000, respectively, of state withholding taxes in connection with our collaboration and licensing agreements. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred $500 and $103,000, respectively, of state and foreign withholding taxes in connection with our collaboration and licensing agreements.

Since inception, we have not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefits (excluding the sale of New Jersey state net operating losses, or NOLs and research credits) for the net losses we have incurred in each year or on our earned research and development tax credits, due to our uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. As of September 30, 2016, we had federal and state NOL carryforwards of $99.8 million and $37.0 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2030 and 2036, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, we had federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $2.3 million available to reduce future tax liabilities, which begin to expire starting in 2023. As of September 30, 2016, we also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $0.8 million that begin to expire in 2032.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred in the past. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes and our May 2016 initial public offering, or IPO, and our ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Our NOLs are also subject to international regulations, which could restrict our ability to utilize our NOLs. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.

Collaboration Revenues

Collaboration revenues decreased $0.2 million, to $0.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The change is due to a $0.2 million reduction in the amortization of deferred revenue as compared to the prior year period as a result of the increase in the expected performance period.

Table of Contents

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $7.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The reduction in research and development expenses resulted from a $3.5 million decrease in preclinical and clinical development costs as we postponed the initiation of our planned Phase 3 clinical trials for ONS-3010 and ONS-1045 until we secure additional funding, a $3.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation as a result of meeting the exercisability condition of our performance based stock unit awards, or PSUs, with our IPO in the prior period, a $0.5 million decrease in other employee compensation and related benefits as we experienced some attrition related to the postponement of our clinical plans, and a $0.2 million decrease in other research and development costs related to our ongoing cost reduction efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses by type for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three months ended June 30,

Facilities, fees and other related costs		524,410		759,651
Total general and administration expenses	$	3,502,719	$	10,504,663

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $7.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The reduction was primarily driven by a decrease in stock-based compensation of $4.9 million due to the recognition of significant stock-based compensation in the prior period related to the completion of our IPO and satisfaction of the PSU exercisability condition. Other compensation and related benefits decreased by $1.5 million primarily due to the recognition of an IPO-related performance bonus in the prior period, and a reduction of $0.7 million in combined professional fees and other expenses related to our ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to the amortization of debt discount and interest expense on the senior secured notes issued in December 2016 through May 2017.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income of $3.7 million related to the decrease in the fair value of our common stock warrant liability as a result of a decrease in the price of our common stock during the period. There was no warrant liability or related charges during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $2.6 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2016, due to a decrease in other compensation and related benefits decreased by $1.4 million primarily due to the fact that the prior year includes recognition of an IPO related performance bonus, a decrease in stock-based compensation of $0.9 million due to the recognition of significant stock-based compensation expense in the prior period related to the completion of our IPO, which satisfied an exercisability condition under our PSUs, and a reduction of $0.5 million in professional fees related to our ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to the amortization of debt discount and interest expense on the senior secured notes issued December 2016 through May 2017.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income of $4.0 million related to the decrease in the fair value of our common stock warrant liability as a result of the decrease in the price of our common stock during the period. There was no warrant liability or related charges during the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have not generated any revenue from biosimilar product sales. Since inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Through June 30, 2017, we have funded substantially all of our operations through the sale and issuance of equity and debt securities and borrowings under debt facilities, raising aggregate net proceeds of $156.4 million. We have also received an aggregate of $24.0 million pursuant to our collaboration and licensing agreements. We will require additional capital to fund our operations past September 2017. Alternatively, we will be required to further scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold.

As of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $179.9 million and a cash balance of $0.1 million. In addition, we had $15.0 million of senior secured notes due in December 2017 and $4.6 million of indebtedness that is due on demand. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant sales of our product candidates currently in development. We will need substantial additional financing to fund our operations and to commercially develop our product candidates. Management is currently evaluating strategic opportunities to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategic opportunities

Table of Contents

include, but are not limited to: sales of equity and/or debt securities, payments from potential strategic research and development agreements, licensing and/or marketing arrangements with global and regional pharmaceutical companies, exploring licensing and/or co-development rights to our late- and early-stage pipeline product candidates with global and regional pharmaceutical companies, potential disposition of some of our assets, and exploring additional cost reduction opportunities. In July 2017, we entered into a binding exclusivity agreement with a third party for a potential strategic transaction to provide funding to support our development programs. While we are actively pursuing a transaction, there is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into a definitive agreement with this party. There can be no assurance that any of our future funding efforts will be successful, and if not successful, we may be required to explore all other alternatives, further scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold while we explore those other alternatives.

Our future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above, (ii) our ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, (iii) the success of our research and development, (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately, (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of our proposed future products.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the periods presented:

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2017			2016

Net cash used in operating activities	$	(15,584,908	)	$	(35,112,358	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(268,106	)		(769,769	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		13,641,025			40,366,527
Net (decrease) increase in cash	$	(2,211,989	)	$	4,484,400

Operating Activities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we used $15.6 million of cash in operating activities, primarily resulting from our net loss of $32.5 million. This use of cash was partially offset by the net cash provided from changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $9.6 million and $7.3 million of noncash items such as non-cash interest expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability and depreciation and amortization expense. The change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a decrease in prepaid expenses related to the timing of vendor payments for research and development. These inflows were partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenues due to ratable recognition of upfront payments received under our collaboration arrangements.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we used $35.1 million of cash in operating activities, primarily resulting from our net loss of $42.7 and the net cash used from changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $2.8 million. These uses of cash in our operating activities were offset by $10.4 million of noncash items such as stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. The change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable related to the timing of vendor payments for research and development and professional services in connection with preparations for our IPO in May 2016 and decreases in deferred revenues due to ratable recognition of upfront payments received under our collaboration arrangements. These outflows were offset by decreases in our prepaid expenses and other current assets, and increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities that relate to the timing of vendor payments and the recognition of research and development expenses.

Investing Activities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we used cash of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $13.6 million, primarily attributable to $15.0 million in proceeds from our senior secured notes and warrants and $1.9 million from the sale of common stock and exercise of warrants, net of offering costs. These inflows were offset by $3.4 million in debt payments, $2.4 million of which was used to repay senior bank loans in December 2016.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $40.4 million, primarily attributable to $33.8 in aggregate net proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement in May 2016, $14.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and $4.3 million in proceeds from the collection of subscriptions receivable. We also received $0.8 million from Sonnet Biotherapeutics, Inc. in connection with their note receivable. These inflows were offset by $12.8 million in debt payments and $0.4 million upon the deconsolidation of Sonnet Biotherapeutics, Inc.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
