Financial Liquidity
At March 31, 2016, the Company had cash resources of $24,768,772 and a working capital of $23,095,324.
The Company's current cash projection indicates that the existing cash resources should enable the Company to execute its core business plan and meet its projected cash requirements beyond the next 12 months.
Financial Review
During the three month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a net loss of $4,177,942 ($0.11 loss per common share) compared to a net loss of $4,748,096 ($0.13 loss per common share) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.
For the nine month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a net loss of $10,675,178 ($0.28 loss per common share) compared to a net loss of $37,353,559 ($1.04 loss per common share) for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased by $3,309,363 from $4,888,272 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 to $1,578,909 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2016, research and development expenses decreased $28,860,717 to $7,967,335 from $36,828,052 for the same period in fiscal 2015.
The decreases in research and development expenses for both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2016 are primarily due to a decrease in clinical development costs related to ELND005 and reduced salary and related expenses which resulted from cost cutting efforts. The decrease in research and development expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 is also due to a decrease in funding obligations relating to TT401 as the Company paid US$14 million in milestone payments to Lilly during the comparative nine month period.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by $69,073 from $1,268,531 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 to $1,199,458 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2016, general and administrative expenses increased $40,848 to $3,818,660 from $3,777,812 for the same period in fiscal 2015.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 are primarily due to reduced professional fees which have been partially offset by inflationary increases in compensation costs.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 are primarily due to business taxes paid for the Company's US subsidiary and inflationary increases in compensation costs which have been partially offset by reduced professional fees.
