Third Quarter 2024 Financial Review
The Company incurred a net loss of $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, versus $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by a reduction in Other Income associated with a change in the fair value of financial instruments.
The Company had cash of $8.7 million as of September 30, 2024, down from $19.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023. These funds are being used to fund clinical trials in EP-104 and the remainder of the proceeds will be used for general and administrative expenses, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.
The Company anticipates that existing cash reserves, combined with the proceeds from the recently announced non-brokered private placement of C$44.5 million and anticipated proceeds from in-the-money warrants, will be sufficient to fund the Company to the third quarter of 2026.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 35,622,553 common shares issued and outstanding.
