Basis of Presentation
 
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company and include all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated June 30, 2017 was derived.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated as part of the consolidation.
 
Foreign Currency
The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” The functional currency of iBio Brazil is the Brazilian Real. Under FASB ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the respective periods. All transaction gains and losses from the measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in Reals are reflected in the statement of operations as appropriate. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, any translation adjustments were considered immaterial and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Going Concern
Since its spin-off from Integrated BioPharma, Inc. in August 2008, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $75.9 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s net loss was approximately $3.8 million and it had cash used in operating activities of $3.0 million.
 
The Company has historically financed its activities through the sale of common stock and warrants. Through September 30, 2017, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to research and development, including the development and validation of its own technologies and the development of a proprietary therapeutic product against fibrosis based upon those technologies, advancing its intellectual property, the build-out and recommissioning of its CDMO facility, and general and administrative activities.
 
As of September 30, 2017, the Company has not completed development of or commercialized any vaccine or therapeutic product candidates. As such, the Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for at least the next year. The Company anticipates that its expenses and losses will increase substantially if the Company:
 
 
initiates clinical trials of its product candidates;
 
 
continues the research and development of our product candidates;
 
 
seeks to discover additional product candidates; and
 
 
adds operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and manufacturing efforts.
 
To become and remain profitable, the Company must succeed in commercializing its technologies or the Company, alone or with its licensees, must succeed in developing and eventually commercializing products that generate significant revenue. In addition, profitability will depend on continuing to attract and maintain customers for the development, manufacturing and technology transfer services offered by the Company’s subsidiary iBio CDMO.
 
On July 24, 2017, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), an Illinois limited liability company, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $16,000,000 of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 36-month term of the agreement (the “Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement”). As a result, on July 24, 2017, 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase shares of its common stock under the agreement, and the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $1,000,000. See Note 9 for a further discussion of the transaction.
 
The extent to which the Company utilizes the purchase agreement with Lincoln Park as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of the Company’s common stock, the volume of trading in the Company’s common stock and the extent to which the Company is able to secure funds from other sources. The number of shares that the Company may sell to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement on any given day and during the term of the agreement is limited. Additionally, the Company and Lincoln Park may not effect any sales of shares of our common stock under the purchase agreement during the continuance of an event of default under the purchase agreement.
 
The history of significant losses, the negative cash flow from operations, the limited cash resources currently on hand and the dependence by the Company on its ability – about which there can be no certainty – to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
The Company plans to fund its future business operations using cash on hand, through proceeds from the sale of additional equity or other securities, including sales of common stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement entered into on July 24, 2017, and through proceeds realized in connection with license and collaboration arrangements and the operation of our subsidiary, iBio CDMO.
 
The Company cannot be certain that such funding will be available on favorable terms or available at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution. If the Company is unable to raise funds when required or on favorable terms, this assumption may no longer be operative, and the Company may have to: a) significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the product application and/or commercialization of its proprietary technologies; b) seek collaborators for its technology and product candidates on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; c) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize; or d) possibly cease operations.
