CYTODYN INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation (its previous name) and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 appears to play a key role in the ability of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) to enter and infect healthy T-cells. The CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in human metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as graft-vs-host disease (“GvHD”) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (“NASH”). The Company’s lead product candidate, leronlimab, belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors. These therapies block HIV from entering into and infecting certain cells.

The Company has developed a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to address unmet medical needs in the areas of HIV and GvHD. In addition, the Company is expanding the clinical focus with leronlimab to include the evaluation in certain cancer and immunological indications where CCR antagonism has shown initial promise.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as prescribed by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2019. Operating results for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, (b) the financial position at November 30, 2019 and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CytoDyn Operations Inc., Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc. (“AGTI”) and CytoDyn Veterinary Medicine LLC (“CVM”), of which both AGTI and CVM are dormant entities. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total stockholders’ (deficit) equity, net loss or loss per share.

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of $31,024,467 for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and has an accumulated deficit of $260,648,884 as of November 30, 2019. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidate, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, outsource manufacturing of the product candidate, and ultimately achieve initial revenues and attain profitability. The Company is currently engaging in significant research and development activities related to its product candidate for multiple indications, and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These research and development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits at November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019 approximated $1.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018. The value of the Company’s patents would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired as discussed in Notes 7 and 9.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs incurred through third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Where contingent milestone payments are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements, the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable.

Pre-launch Inventory

The Company may scale-up and make commercial quantities of its product candidate prior to the date it anticipates that such product will receive final FDA approval. The scale-up and commercial production of pre-launch inventories involves the risk that such products may not be approved for marketing by the FDA on a timely basis, or ever. This risk notwithstanding, the Company may scale-up and build pre-launch inventories of product that have not yet received final governmental approval when the Company believes that such action is appropriate in relation to the commercial value of the product launch opportunity. The determination to capitalize is made once the Company (or its third party development partners) has filed a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) that has been acknowledged by the FDA as containing sufficient information to allow the FDA to conduct its review in an efficient and timely manner and management is reasonably certain that all regulatory and legal requirements will be satisfied. This determination is based on the particular facts and circumstances relating to the expected FDA approval of the drug product being considered. As of November 30, 2019, and May 31, 2019, the Company did not have pre-launch inventory that qualified for capitalization pursuant to U.S. GAAP ASC 330 “Inventory.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

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

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that the Company was unable to corroborate with observable market data.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019 is as follows:


	Fair Value Measurement at November 30, 2019 (1)				Fair Value Measurement at May 31, 2019 (1)
	Using Level 3		Total		Using Level 3		Total
Liabilities:
Derivative liability—convertible note redemption provision	$	1,456,398	$	1,456,398	$	2,005,137	$	2,005,137
Derivative liability—warrants		122,372		122,372		402,132		402,132

Total liability	$	1,578,770	$	1,578,770	$	2,407,269	$	2,407,269

(1)	The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurements. These instruments are not quoted on an active market. The Company uses a Binomial Lattice Model to estimate the value of the warrant derivative liability and a Monte Carlo Simulation to value the derivative liability of the redemption provision within a convertible promissory note. These valuation models were used because management believes they reflect all the assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the instruments. The Company’s derivative liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because certain unobservable inputs were used in the valuation models.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended November 30, 2019, and the year ended May 31, 2019:


Investor warrants issued with registered direct equity offering	$	4,360,000
Placement agent warrants issued with registered direct equity offering		819,200
Fair value adjustments		(3,855,468	)

Balance at May 31, 2018		1,323,732
Inception date value of redemption provisions		2,750,006
Fair value adjustments—warrants		(744,869	)
Fair value adjustments—convertible notes		(921,600	)

Balance at May 31, 2019	$	2,407,269
Fair value adjustments—warrants		(279,760	)
Fair value adjustments—convertible notes		(548,739	)

Balance at November 30, 2019	$	1,578,770

Operating Leases

Effective June 1, 2019, the Company determined if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms do not include options to extend or terminate the lease as it is not reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

Stock-Based Compensation

U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period) or when designated milestones have been achieved.

The Company accounts for stock-based awards established by the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates, as of the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock-based award. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock on monthly intervals. The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method,” as the Company issuances are considered “plain vanilla” options. For stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period or when designated milestones have been achieved. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented. Periodically, the Company will issue restricted common stock to third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such stock awards are valued at fair market value on the effective date of the Company’s obligation.

Common Stock

On November 8, 2018, at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 450,000,000 to 600,000,000. Subsequently, on May 22, 2019, at a special meeting of stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 600,000,000 to 700,000,000.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. As of November 30, 2019, the Company has authorized the issuance of 400,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock and 20,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, of which 92,100 shares and 7,788 shares, respectively, were outstanding. The remaining preferred shares authorized have no specified rights.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the par value method, whereby the cost of the acquired stock is recorded at par value. As of November 30, 2019, the Company has purchased 159,011 shares of $0.001 par value treasury stock.

Debt Discount

During year ended May 31, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $4.2 million of debt discount related to the issuance of convertible notes, as described in Note 4. The discount is amortized over the life of the convertible promissory notes. During the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company recorded approximately $1.5 million and $0.1 million of related amortization, respectively.

Debt Issuance Cost

During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company incurred direct costs associated with the issuance of convertible notes, as described in Note 4, and recorded approximately $1.0 million of debt issuance costs. During the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company recognized related amortization of approximately $404,000 and $20,000, respectively.

Offering Costs

During the six months ended November 30, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company incurred direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities and conversion of debt, as described in Notes 10 and 11. The costs were approximately $2.0 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and year ended May 31, 2019, respectively. The offering costs were recorded as a component of equity upon receipt of proceeds.

Stock for Services

The Company periodically issues warrants to consultants for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, as described more fully above, is utilized to measure the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. For this reason the following potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018: common stock options and warrants to purchase common stock of 177,457,255 and 155,836,676 respectively; short-term convertible notes and accrued interest that could convert into 10,048,121 and 0 common shares respectively; Shares of Series C and Series B convertible preferred stock including undeclared dividends that can potentially convert in the aggregate into a 17,550,240 and 1,330,861 common shares respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits for all periods presented. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

In accordance with Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company utilized a federal statutory rate of 21% and 28.62% for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. The net tax expense for the six months ended November 30, 2019 is zero and a benefit of $2.8 million for the six months ended November 30, 2018. The Company has a full valuation allowance as of November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019, as management does not consider it more than likely than not that the benefits from the deferred taxes will be realized.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. The ASU also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the standard as of June 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach in which prior comparative periods are not adjusted. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. The Company has operating leases for two office facilities, one which expires on April 30, 2021 and the other on March 31, 2022. As of June 1, 2019, the Company recognized additional right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities related to its facility leases on the consolidated balance sheet. No cumulative effect adjustment was recognized as the amount was not material. The standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses and other commitments to extend credit held by the reporting entity. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The update is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to reduce, modify, and add to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Convertible Instruments

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 20, 2019, the Company authorized 5,000 shares and issued 3,246 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), at $1,000.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $3,083,700, net of placement agent fees of $162,300. On August 29, 2019, the Company issued the remaining 1,754 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at $1,000.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $1,542,545, net of placement agent fees and legal fees totaling $211,455. On October 11, 2019, the Company authorized an increase from 5,000 shares to 20,000 shares, and between October 21, 2019 and November 8, 2019 issued 2,788 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of November 30, 2019, 12,212 shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain available to be issued. The Series C Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) provides, among other things, that holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of any assets at the time legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at the rate of ten percent (10%) per share per annum of the stated value of the Series C Preferred Stock, to be paid per share of Series C Preferred Stock, which dividends shall accrue whether or not declared. Any dividends paid by the Company

will first be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock prior and in preference to any payment or distribution to holders of common stock. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are mandatory and cumulative and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock does not have redemption rights. The stated value per share for the Series C Preferred Stock is $1,000 (the “Stated Value”). In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series C Preferred Stock will be paid, prior and in preference to any payment or distribution on any shares of common stock, currently outstanding series of preferred stock, or subsequent series of preferred stock, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value and the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will then receive distributions along with the holders of common stock on a pari passu basis according to the number of shares of common stock the Series C Preferred holders would be entitled if they converted their shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the time of such distribution. If, at any time while the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company effects any reorganization, merger or sale of the Company or substantially all of its assets (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), a holder of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion in full of the Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the conversion price of $0.50 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation). No fractional shares will be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights. As of November 30, 2019, the accrued dividends were approximately $299,000 or 598,000 shares of common stock.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

During fiscal 2010, the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) at $5.00 per share for cash proceeds totaling $2,009,000, of which 92,100 shares remain outstanding at November 30, 2019. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock, including any accrued dividends, with an effective fixed conversion price of $0.50 per share. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock can only convert their shares to shares of common stock provided the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock at the time of conversion. Accordingly, the conversion option was contingent upon the Company increasing its authorized common shares, which occurred in April 2010, when the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000. At the commitment date, which occurred upon such stockholder approval, the conversion option related to the Series B Preferred Stock was beneficial. The intrinsic value of the conversion option at the commitment date resulted in a constructive dividend to the Series B Preferred Stock holders of approximately $6,000,000. The constructive dividend increased and decreased additional paid-in capital by identical amounts. The Series B Preferred Stock has liquidation preferences over the common shares at $5.00 per share plus any accrued dividends. Dividends are payable to the Series B Preferred Stock holders when declared by the Board of Directors at the rate of $0.25 per share per annum. Such dividends are cumulative and accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Company legally available. The Series B holders have no voting rights. As of November 30, 2019, and May 31, 2019, the undeclared dividends were approximately $233,000 or 456,000 shares of common stock and approximately $216,000 or 432,000 shares of common stock, respectively.

2019 Short-term Convertible Notes

During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company issued approximately $5.5 million of nine-month unsecured Convertible Notes (the “2019 Short-term Convertible Notes”) and related warrants to investors for cash. Beginning on September 30, 2019 and through November 14, 2019, principal and interest totaling approximately $5.9 million came due. Holders of notes totaling approximately $1.1 million in principal and accrued interest agreed to extend their notes for another 3 months, and holders of notes totaling approximately $4.1 million in principal and accrued interest agreed to extend their notes for another 6 months. One note-holder with principal and accrued interest totaling approximately $0.2 million converted to shares of common stock of the Company. During the quarter ended November 30, 2019, a total of approximately $0.7 million of principal and accrued interest was repaid in cash. In addition, detachable stock warrants to purchase a total of 4,750,000 warrants with a five-year term and an exercise price of $0.30 per share and a five-year term were issued to investors who extended their notes. One investor received 200,000 warrants with a five-year term and an exercise price of $0.45 per share for converting the entire principal and accrued interest on its note. In connection with the note extensions and conversion, the Company recorded a non-cash inducement interest expense of approximately $0.3 million during the quarter ended November 30, 2029. The new principal amount of the 2019 Short-term Convertible Notes, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is convertible at the election of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The 2019 Short-term Convertible Notes bear simple interest at the annual rate of 10%. Principal and accrued interest, to the extent not previously paid or converted, is due and payable on the maturity date. At the new commitment dates, the Company determined that there was a decrease in the fair value of the embedded conversion option resulting from the modification, the value of which is not required to be recognized under U.S. GAAP.

The Company recognized approximately $269,000 and $0 of interest expense during the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.

Long-term Convertible Notes—June 2018 Note

On June 26, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “June 2018 Note”) with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor in the initial principal amount of $5.7 million. The investor gave consideration of $5.0 million to the Company. The June 2018 Note bears interest of 10% and is convertible into common stock, at $0.55 per share. The June 2018 Note is convertible in total, or in part, of the outstanding balance, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the June 2018 Note. The Investor may redeem any portion of the June 2018 Note, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $350,000. The securities purchase agreement requires the Company to reserve shares for future conversions or redemptions by dividing the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest by the conversion price of $0.55 per share times 1.5. As a result of the entry into the January 2019 Note (as defined below), the Company’s obligations under the June 2018 Note are now secured by all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Effective November 15, 2018, the June 2018 Note was amended to allow the Investor to redeem the monthly redemption amount of $350,000 in cash or stock, at the lesser of (i) $0.55, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion, multiplied by a conversion factor of 85%. The variable rate redemption provision meets the definition of a derivative instrument and subsequent to the amendment, it no longer meets the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. As of November 15, 2018, the redemption provision requires bifurcation as a derivative liability at fair value under the guidance in ASC Topic No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

The amendment of the June 2018 Note was also evaluated under ASC Topic 470-50-40, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.” Based on the guidance, the instruments were determined to be substantially different, and debt extinguishment accounting was applied. The Company recorded approximately $1.5 million as an extinguishment loss, which was the difference in the net carrying value of the June 2018 Note prior to the amendment of approximately $5.4 million, and the fair value of the June 2018 Note and embedded derivatives after the amendment of approximately $6.9 million. The extinguishment loss includes a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the debt discount associated with the original the June 2018 Note.

During the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $300,000 and $248,000, of interest expense related to the June 2018 Note, respectively. During the six months ended November 30, 2019, the Company received redemption notices from the holder of the Company’s June 2018 Note, requesting an aggregate redemption of $2,055,000 of the outstanding balance thereof. In satisfaction of the redemption notices, the Company issued shares of common stock totaling 4,746,935 and paid cash totaling $525,000 to the June 2018 Note holder in accordance with the terms of the June 2018 Note. Following the redemptions, the outstanding balance of the convertible June 2018 Note, including accrued but unpaid interest, was approximately $2.8 million.

Long-term Convertible Notes—January 2019 Note

On January 30, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “January 2019 Note”) with a two-year term to the holder of the June 2018 Note in the initial principal amount of $5.7 million. In connection with the issuance of the January 2019 Note, the Company granted a lien against all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property, to secure all obligations owed to the investor by the Company (including those under both the January 2019 Note and the June 2018 Note). The investor gave consideration of $5.0 million to the Company, reflecting original issue discount of $0.6 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The January 2019 Note bears interest of 10% and is convertible into common stock, at $0.50 per share. The January 2019 Note is convertible in total, or in part, of the outstanding balance, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and ownership limitations specified in the Note. The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting treatment under ASC 815 and determined that the embedded conversion option did not qualify for derivative accounting.

The investor may redeem any portion of the January 2019 Note, at any time after six months from the issue date upon five trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $350,000. The monthly redemption amount may be paid in cash or stock, at the Company’s election, at the lesser of (i) $0.50, or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion, multiplied by a conversion factor of 85%. The redemption provision meets the definition of a derivative instrument and does not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. Therefore, the redemption provision requires bifurcation as a derivative liability at fair value under the guidance in ASC Topic No. 815 (“ASC 815”). The securities purchase agreement requires the Company to reserve 20,000,000 shares for future conversions or redemptions. In

conjunction with the January 2019 Note, the investor received a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.30 which is exercisable until the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The warrant achieved equity classification at inception. The net proceeds of $5.0 million were allocated first to the redemption provision at its fair value, then to the warrants at their relative fair value and the beneficial conversion feature at its intrinsic value as follows:


	January 30, 2019
Fair value of redemption provision	$	1,465,008
Relative fair value of equity classified warrants		858,353
Beneficial conversion feature		2,676,639

	$	5,000,000

Under the guidance of ASC 815, after allocation of proceeds to the redemption provision, relative fair value of equity classified warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, there were no proceeds remaining to allocate to convertible note payable. Therefore, principal, accrued interest, debt discount and offering costs will be recognized as interest expense, which represents the accretion of the convertible note payable and related debt discount and issuance costs. During the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $387,000 and $-0-, respectively, of interest expense related to the January 2019 Note.

Activity related to the June 2018 Note and the January 2019 Note is as follows:


	Short Term			Long Term			Total
June 2018 Note	$	2,100,000		$	3,600,000		$	5,700,000
Monthly redemption provision		2,100,000			(2,100,000	)		—

Note 5 – Derivative Liabilities

The investor and placement agent warrants, issued in connection with a registered direct offering in September 2016, contained a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer or share exchange, whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding common stock). If a fundamental transaction occurs in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a successor entity, then the warrant holder has the option to receive cash equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant. Due to this contingent cash settlement provision, the investor and placement agent warrants require liability classification as derivatives in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815 and are recorded at fair value.

The following tables summarize the fair value of the warrant derivative liability and related common shares as of inception date September 15, 2016, and the fair value as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2019:


	Shares Indexed		Derivative Liability
Inception to date September 15, 2016		7,733,334	$	5,179,200
Balance May 31, 2019		7,733,334		409,132
Balance November 30, 2019		7,733,334	$	122,372

The Company recognized approximately $280,000 of non-cash gain and $466,000 of non-cash loss, due to the changes in the fair value of the liability associated with such classified warrants during the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively.

ASC 820 provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Fair values for the warrants were determined using a Binomial Lattice (“Lattice”) valuation model.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant derivative liability as of inception date September 15, 2016, May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2019, using the following assumptions:


	September 15, 2016			May 31, 2019			November 30, 2019
Fair value of underlying stock	$	0.78		$	0.39		$	0.28
Risk free rate		1.20	%		1.94	%		1.61	%
Expected term (years)		5			2.29			1.79
Stock price volatility		106	%		61	%		63	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—
Probability of Fundamental Transaction		50	%		50	%		50	%
Probability of holder requesting cash payment		50	%		50	%		50	%

Due to the fundamental transaction provision contained in the warrants, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered subjective assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provision. The fair value of the warrants will be significantly influenced by the fair value of the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, changes in interest rates and management’s assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provisions.

As described above in Note 4 above, the redemption provision embedded in the June 2018 and January 2019 Notes required bifurcation and measurement at fair value as a derivative. The fair value of the Note redemption provision derivative liabilities was calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation which uses randomly generated stock-price paths obtained through a Geometric Brownian Motion stock price simulation. The fair value of the redemption provision will be significantly influenced by the fair value of the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, changes in interest rates and management’s assumptions related to the redemption factor. The Company estimated the fair value of the redemptive provision using the following assumptions on the closing date of November 15, 2018, January 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2019:


	November 15,			January 30,			May 31, 2019						November 30, 2019
	2018			2019			June Note			January Note			June Note			January Note
Fair value of underlying stock	$	0.57		$	0.49		$	0.39		$	0.39		$	0.28		$	0.28
Risk free rate		2.78	%		2.52	%		2.21	%		1.95	%		1.63	%		1.60	%
Expected term (in years)		1.61			2			1.07			1.67			0.57			1.17
Stock price volatility		58.8	%		61	%		62.2	%		62.2	%		66.3	%		64.1	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—			—			—			—
Discount factor		85	%		85	%		85	%		85	%		85	%		85	%

The following table summarizes the fair value of the convertible note redemption provision derivative liability as of inception dates November 15, 2018, January 30, 2019 and the fair value as of May 31, 2019 and November 30, 2019:


			Derivative Liability
	Net Proceeds		Inception date		May 31, 2019		November 30, 2019
Inception date June 2018 Note, November 15, 2018	$	5,000,000	$	1,284,988	$	847,103	$	481,345
Inception date January 2019 Note, January 30, 2019		5,000,000		1,465,008		1,158,034		975,053

					$	2,005,137	$	1,456,398

The Company recognized approximately $549,000 of non-cash gain, due to the changes in the fair value of the liability associated with such classified redemption provision for the six months ended November 30, 2019.

Note 7 – Acquisition of Patents and Intangibles

As discussed in Note 9 below, the Company consummated an asset purchase on October 16, 2012, and paid $3,500,000 for certain assets, including intellectual property, certain related licenses and sublicenses, FDA filings and various forms of the leronlimab (PRO 140) drug substance. The Company followed the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Topic 805 to determine if the Company acquired a business. Based on the prescribed accounting, the Company acquired assets and not a business. As of November 30, 2019, the Company has recorded and is amortizing $3,500,000 of intangible assets in the form of patents. The Company estimates the acquired patents have an estimated life of ten years. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company has continued to expand, amend and file new patents central to its current clinical trial strategies, which, in turn, have extended the protection period for certain methods of using leronlimab (PRO 140) and formulations comprising leronlimab (PRO 140) out through at least 2031 and 2038, respectively, in various countries.

On November 16, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of ProstaGene, LLC (“ProstaGene”), a biotechnology start-up company, which included patents related to clinical research, a proprietary CCR5 technology for early cancer diagnosis, and a noncompetition agreement with ProstaGene’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Richard G. Pestell, M.D., Ph.D. The acquisition of ProstaGene’s assets expands the Company’s clinical development of leronlimab (PRO 140) into cancer indications and commercialization of certain cancer diagnostic tests.

The aggregate purchase price paid for the ProstaGene acquisition was $11,558,000 based on the issuance of 20,278,000 shares of common stock of CytoDyn at $0.57 per share, including 1,620,000 shares earned, but not yet issued, by the investment bank for advisory services. In connection with the purchase, the Company entered into a Stock Restriction Agreement (“Agreement”), restricting the transfer of 8,342,000 shares of common stock payable to Dr. Pestell for a three-year period from the closing date of the transaction. Dr. Pestell’s employment with the Company was terminated on July 25, 2019, and as defined in the employment agreement, on September 17, 2019 the Company exercised its option to repurchase such Restricted Shares from Dr. Pestell at a purchase price of $0.001 per share. The repurchase is currently the subject of a legal proceedings between Dr. Pestell and the Company, as fully described in Part II, Item 1.

A summary of the net purchase price and allocation to the acquired assets is as follows:


	ProstaGene, LLC
CytoDyn Inc. Equity	$	11,558,000
Acquisition Expenses		741,297
Release of Deferred Tax Asset		2,826,919

Total Cost of Acquisition	$	15,126,216

Intangible assets	$	15,126,216
Other		—

Allocation of Acquisition Costs	$	15,126,216

Assets acquired from ProstaGene include (1) patents issued in the United States and Australia related to “Prostate Cancer Cell Lines, Gene Signatures and Uses Thereof” and “Use of Modulators of CCR5 in the Treatment of Cancer and Cancer Metastasis,” (2) an algorithm used to identify a 14-gene signature to predict the likelihood and severity of cancer diagnoses, and (3) a noncompetition agreement in connection with an employment agreement with Dr. Pestell as Chief Medical Officer of the Company. The fair value of the assets acquired approximates the consideration paid. The Company did not assume any liabilities. The Company accounted for the ProstaGene acquisition as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-10-55 “Business Combinations” because the assets retained from ProstaGene do not include an assembled workforce, and the gross value of the assets acquired meets the screen test in ASC 805-10-55-5A related to substantially all of the fair value being concentrated in a single asset or group of assets (i.e., the proprietary technology and patents) and, thus, is not considered a business. Thus, management concluded that the acquisition did not include both an input and substantive processes that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

The fair value of the technology acquired is identified using the Income Approach. The fair value of the patents acquired is identified using the Cost to Reproduce Method. The fair value of noncompetition agreement acquired is identified using the Residual Value Method. Goodwill is not recorded as the transaction represents an asset acquisition in accordance with ASU 2017-01. Acquisition costs for asset acquisitions are capitalized and included in the total cost of the transaction. In addition, pursuant to ASC 805, the net tax effect of the deferred tax liability arising from the book to tax basis differences is recorded as a cost of the acquisition.

The following presents intangible assets activity:


	November 30, 2019			May 31, 2019
Gross carrying amounts	$	3,500,000		$	3,500,000
Development of new Company website	$	19,552		$	19,553
Intangible asset acquisition:
ProstaGene, LLC		15,126,216			15,126,216
Accumulated amortization		(4,195,730	)		(3,170,315	)

Total amortizable intangible assets, net	$	14,450,038		$	15,475,454

Patents currently not amortized	$	—		$	—

Carrying value of intangibles, net	$	14,450,038		$	15,475,454

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $497,100 and $994,200 and $152,900 and $240,000 for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The estimated aggregate future amortization expense related to the Company’s intangible assets with finite lives is estimated to be approximately $2 million per year for the next two years, $1.4 million the following year, $1.1 million for the next seven years, and $940,000 for the last year.

Note 8 – License Agreements

The Company has two license agreements with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new leronlimab (PRO 140) material. The Company accrues an annual license fees of £600,000 (approximately US$800,000 utilizing current exchange rates), which is payable annually in December. The December 2019 and 2018 payments were extended to March 15^th, 2020 and April 15, 2019, respectively. Future annual license fees and royalty rate will vary depending on whether the Company manufactures leronlimab (PRO 140), utilizes the third-party licensor as a contract manufacturer, or utilizes an independent party as a contract manufacturer. The licensor does not charge an annual license fee when it serves as the manufacturer. In addition, the Company will incur royalties of up to 0.75% to 2% of net sales, depending upon who serves as the manufacturer, when the Company commences their first commercial sale, which will continue as long as the license agreement is maintained.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Under the Progenics Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired rights to the HIV viral-entry inhibitor drug candidate PRO 140, a humanized anti-CCR5 monoclonal antibody, as well as certain other related assets, including the existing inventory of bulk PRO 140 drug product, intellectual property, certain related licenses and sublicenses, and FDA regulatory filings. In connection with purchase, the Company has one remaining milestone payment of $5.0 million, which will become due at the time of the first U.S. new drug application approval by the FDA or other non-U.S. approval for the sale of PRO 140. In addition, the Company will incur royalty payments of up to 5% on net sales during the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of PRO 140 until the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire patent included in the acquired assets, and (b) 10 years, in each case determined on a country-by country basis. During the year ended May 31, 2016 the Company paid a milestone obligation of $1.5 million owed to Progenics as a result of the first dosing in a U.S. Phase 3 trial. To the extent that the remaining milestone payment and royalties are not timely made, under the terms of the Progenics Purchase Agreement, Progenics has certain repurchase rights relating to the assets sold to the Company thereunder. As of the date of this filing, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future scientific research milestone is not reasonably determinable, thus the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and its sub-licensors are deemed contingent consideration and, therefore, are not currently accruable. Payments to the third-party licensor and

to Progenics are in addition to payments due under a Development and License Agreement, dated April 30, 1999 (the “PDL License”), between Protein Design Labs (now AbbVie Inc.) (“PDL”) and Progenics, which was assigned to the Company in the Progenics Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive worldwide license to develop, make, have made, import, use, sell, offer to sell or have sold products that incorporate the humanized form of the PRO 140 antibody developed by PDL under the agreement the Company has paid various milestone obligations, with two remaining milestone payments of $0.5 million each, one payment of $0.5 million upon filing a BLA with the FDA or non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body and a second payment of $0.5 million, which will become due upon FDA approval or approval by anothernon-U.S. equivalent regulatory body. In addition, the Company will incur royalties of up to 3.5% of net sales for the longer of 10 years and the date of expiration of the last to expire licensed patent. Additionally, the PDL License provides for an annual maintenance fee of $150,000 or until annual royalties paid exceed that amount. To the extent the remaining milestone payment and royalties are not timely made, under the terms of the PDL License, AbbVie Inc. has certain termination rights relating to the Company’s license of PRO 140 thereunder. As of the date of this filing, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future scientific research milestones is not reasonably determinable, thus the future milestone payments payable to PDL, Progenics and its sub-licensors are deemed contingent consideration and, therefore, are not currently accruable.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement and Product Specific Agreement (collectively, the “Samsung Agreement”) with Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”), pursuant to which Samsung will perform technology transfer, process validation, manufacturing and supply services for the commercial supply of leronlimab. In April 2019 the Company delivered to Samsung a purchase order for $33 million worth of process validation and technology transfer services related to the manufacture of leronlimab, with payments by the Company scheduled to be made throughout calendar 2020. Under the Samsung Agreement, the purchase order is binding and the Company is obligated to pay the full amount of the purchase order. Under the terms of the Samsung Agreement, the Company is obligated to make specified minimum purchases of leronlimab from Samsung pursuant to forecasted requirements which the Company will provide to Samsung. The first forecast will be delivered to Samsung by March 31, 2020. Thereafter, the Company must provide Samsung with a rolling quarterly forecast setting forth the total quantity of commercial grade leronlimab that the Company expects to require in the following years. The Company estimates that initial ramp-up costs to manufacture commercial grade leronlimab at scale could total approximately $60 million, with approximately $30 million payable over the course of calendar 2020, and approximately $30 million payable in the first quarter of 2021. Thereafter, the Company will pay Samsung per 15,000L batch according to the pricing terms specified in the Samsung Agreement. The Samsung Agreement has an initial term ending in December 2027 and will be automatically extended for additional two year periods unless either party gives notice of termination at least six months prior to the then current term. Either party may terminate the Samsung Agreement in the event of the other party’s insolvency or uncured material breach, and the Company may terminate the agreement in the event of a voluntary or involuntary complete market withdrawal of leronlimab from commercial markets, with one and half year’s prior notice. Neither party may assign the agreement without the consent of the other, except in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a party to which the agreement relates.

The Company has entered into project work orders, as amended, for each of its CRO and related laboratory vendors. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company incurs execution fees for direct services costs, which are recorded as a current asset. In the event the Company were to terminate any trial, it may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the CRO. Conditioned upon the form of termination of any one trial, the financial penalties may range up to $0.8 million. In the remote circumstance that the Company would terminate all clinical trials, the collective financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $0.7 million to an approximate high of $1.9 million.

From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. Other than specified in Part II, Item 1, there are no pending significant legal proceedings to which the Company is a party for which management believes the ultimate outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Overview

Our current business strategy is to prioritize the completion our BLA filing for leronlimab as a combination therapy for highly treatment experienced HIV patients, to advance our Phase 1b/2 clinical trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, to continue our Phase 2 trial for graft-versus-host disease (“GvHD”), to finalize with the FDA our submitted protocol for a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial with leronlimab as a monotherapy for HIV patients and concurrently to explore other cancer and immunologic indications for leronlimab, including Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (“NASH”). The Company recently received permission from the FDA to proceed with a Phase 2 clinical trial for colorectal cancer. We continue to pursue licensing opportunities and other potential strategic partnerships for leronlimab with pharmaceutical companies and other potential business partners.

Clinical Trials Update for HIV Applications

Phase 2b Extension Study for HIV, as Monotherapy

Currently, there are four patients in this ongoing extension study and each has surpassed five years of suppressed viral load with leronlimab as a single agent therapy. This extension study will be discontinued upon any FDA approval of leronlimab as combination therapy for HIV.

Phase 2b/3 Pivotal Trial for HIV, as Combination Therapy

This trial was successfully completed, and is the basis for our current BLA, for which the first of three sections was submitted to the FDA in March 2019 under a “rolling review.” We expect to submit the remaining two sections of the BLA in the first quarter of 2020. This trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with existing Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (“HAART”) drug regimens for highly treatment experienced HIV patients achieved its primary endpoint with a p-value of 0.0032. Nearly all patients who have completed this trial have transitioned to an FDA-cleared rollover study, as requested by the treating physicians to enable the patients to have continued access to leronlimab.

Rollover Study for HIV as Combination Therapy

This study is designed for patients who successfully completed the pivotal Phase 2b/3 Combination Therapy trial and for whom the treating physicians request a continuation of leronlimab therapy in order to maintain suppressed viral load. This extension study will be discontinued upon any FDA approval of leronlimab.

Phase 2/3 Investigative Trial for HIV, as Long-term Monotherapy

Enrollment for this trial is now closed after reaching 565 patients. This trial assesses the subcutaneous use of leronlimab as a long-acting single agent maintenance therapy for 48 weeks in patients with suppressed viral load with CCR5-tropic HIV-1 infection. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants with a suppressed viral load to those who experienced virologic failure. The secondary endpoint is the length of time to virologic failure. The trial evaluates three dosage arms, 350 mg, 525 mg and 700 mg. We

recently reported that interim data suggested that both the 525 mg and the 700 mg dosages are achieving a responder rate of approximately 90% after the initial 10 weeks. Some of the data from this trial is also being used to provide safety data for the BLA filing for leronlimab as a combination therapy. In view of the high responder rate at the increased dosage levels, coupled with the newly developed CCR5 receptor occupancy test, we recently filed a pivotal trial protocol with the FDA for leronlimab as a monotherapy. We are discussing finalization of that protocol with FDA and could initiate the Phase 3 trial in the first quarter of 2020. Upon finalization with the FDA of the pivotal trial protocol for monotherapy, the Phase 2b/3 investigative trial will likely be discontinued.

We will require a significant amount of additional capital to complete the foregoing clinical trials for HIV and complete our BLA submission, as well as to advance our trials in the oncology and immunology space, including, but not limited to triple-negative breast cancer, certain cancer indications, GvHD and NASH. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Cancer and Immunological Applications

We are continuing to advance our exploration of opportunities for clinical applications for leronlimab involving the CCR5 co-receptor, other than HIV-related treatments, such as cancer, inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases.

The target of leronlimab is the important G protein coupled co-receptor CCR5. CCR5 is more than the pathway to HIV replication; it is also a crucial component of inflammatory responses and is a key mediator in many cancer metastasis. We believe this opens the potential for multiple pipeline opportunities for leronlimab. CCR5 is a protein located on the surface of white blood cells and cancer epithelial cells that serves as a receptor for attractants called chemokines. Chemokines are the key orchestrators of leukocyte trafficking by attracting immune cells to the sites of inflammation.

At the site of an inflammatory reaction, chemokines are released. These chemokines are specific for CCR5 and cause the migration of T-cells to these sites promoting further inflammation. We believe the mechanism of action of leronlimab has the potential to block the movement of T-cells to inflammatory sites, which could be instrumental in diminishing or eliminating inflammatory responses. CCR5 is also expressed on the surface of epithelial cells in certain cancers. Some disease processes that we believe could benefit from CCR5 blockade include many types of common cancers, GvHD (a reaction occurring in some patients after bone marrow transplantation), NASH, autoimmunity and chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Recent published data has shown that the cancer cells within a tumor consist of two types of cells—one with CCR5 and others without them. The published data indicated that cancer cells that can metastasize express CCR5. Metastases are the cause of death in the vast majority of cancer patients. A prior publication indicates that CCR5 antagonists can turn off certain calcium signaling and reduce the migration of CCR5 positive cancer cells. Inhibition of CCR5 signaling blocks the guided migration and reduces the metastasis. Leronlimab has demonstrated (in an in-vitro study) that it also turns off calcium signaling and blocks breast cancer cellular invasion. Furthermore, published studies showed current chemotherapy induces CCR5, and CCR5 antagonists enhance the effectiveness of current chemotherapies, potentially allowing a reduction in chemotherapy, which may provide an improved quality of life for patients.

Research has demonstrated three potential key properties of CCR5’s mechanism of action (“MOA”) in cancer. The first is that the CCR5 receptor on cancer cells was responsible for the migration and invasion of cells into the blood stream, which leads to metastasis of breast, prostate, and colon cancer. The second is that blocking CCR5 also turns on anti-tumor fighting properties restoring immune function. The third key finding was that blockage of the CCR5/CCL5 interaction had a synergistic effect with chemotherapeutic therapy and controlled cancer progression. Chemotherapy traditionally increased expression of CCR5 so blocking it is expected to reduce the levels of invasion of metastasis.

Due to its MOA, we believe leronlimab may have significant advantages over other CCR5 antagonists. Prior studies have demonstrated that leronlimab does not cause direct activation of T-cells. We have already reported encouraging human safety data for our clinical trials with leronlimab in HIV-infected patients.

We also previously initiated our first clinical trial with leronlimab in an immunological indication – a Phase 2 clinical trial with leronlimab for GvHD in patients with AML or MDS who are undergoing bone marrow stem cell transplantation. As noted below, enrollment under the amended protocol for the GvHD trial has been delayed subject to increased capital resources.

The following overview provides an update on our immune-oncology pipeline:

Phase 1b/2 Trial for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

We recently received clearance from the FDA for our IND submission to initiate a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients and have dosed the first patient in this trial. In May 2019, the FDA granted Fast Track designation for the use of leronlimab in combination with carboplatin in treating mTNBC. Five clinical trial sites have been identified, and the first patient was treated before the end of September 2019. The change in circulating tumor cells (“CTCs”) number will be evaluated every 21 days during treatment and will be used as an initial prognostic marker for efficacy. Up to 48 patients are expected to be enrolled in this study.

Pre-clinical Studies for Multiple Cancer Indications

We are initiating multiple pre-clinical studies with leronlimab for melanoma, pancreatic, breast, prostate colon, lung, liver and stomach cancers. An ongoing pre-clinical study conducted by us recently reported that leronlimab reduces by more than 98% human breast cancer metastasis in a murine xenograft model. Based upon these strong results, we filed for Orphan Drug Designation for leronlimab for use in triple-negative breast cancer. In addition, pre-clinical results in a colorectal cancer study were likewise encouraging, and the FDA recently granted clearance to CytoDyn to proceed with a Phase 2 protocol.

Phase 2 Trial for Graft-versus-Host Disease

This Phase 2 multi-center, 100-day study with 60 patients is designed to evaluate the feasibility of the use of leronlimab as an add-on therapy to standard GvHD prophylaxis treatment for prevention of acute GvHD in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”) or myelodysplastic syndrome (“MDS”) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HST”). Enrollment of the first patient was announced in May of 2017. On October 5, 2017, we announced that the FDA had granted orphan drug designation to leronlimab (PRO 140) for the prevention of GvHD. In March 2018, we announced that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (“IDMC”) for leronlimab (PRO 140) Phase 2 trial in GvHD had completed a planned interim analysis of trial data on the first 10 patients enrolled. Following this review of data from the first 10 patients in the Phase 2 trial, we filed amendments to the protocol with the FDA. The amendments included switching the pretreatment conditioning regimen from aggressive myeloablative (“MA”) conditioning to a reduced intensity conditioning (“RIC”), and switching from a blinded one-for-one randomized placebo-controlled design to an open-label design under which all enrollees receive leronlimab. The amendments also provide for a 100% increase in the dose of leronlimab, to 700 mg, to more closely mimic pre-clinical dosing. The next review of data by the IDMC will occur following enrollment of 10 patients under the amended protocol after each patient has been dosed for 30 days. Due to the necessary prioritization of limited capital, enrollment under the amended protocol has been temporarily delayed.

Phase 2 Trial for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The FDA recently granted us clearance to proceed with Phase 2 studies of leronlimab and regorafenib as a combination therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer in early September 2019. This Phase 2 study will enroll 30 patients and is designed to test the hypothesis that the combination of leronlimab, administered as a subcutaneous injection, and regorafenib, administered orally, will increase progression-free survival in patients with CCR5-positive metastatic colorectal cancer.

Phase 2 Trial and IND for NASH

The FDA recently granted clearance to CytoDyn to proceed with Phase 2 studies to test whether leronlimab may control the devastating effects of liver fibrosis associated with Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). This trial is designed to be a 60-patient, multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of the safety and efficacy of leronlimab in adult patients with NASH.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

For the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, we had no activities that produced revenues from operations.

For the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, we had a net loss of approximately $14.9 million and $14.3 million, respectively. The slight increase in net loss of approximately $0.6 million was attributable to a large reduction in research and development (“R&D”) expenses, offset by a higher interest expense and a non-recurring tax benefit recognized in the three months ended November 30, 2018. The reduction in loss per share in contrast to the comparable period a year ago, was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of common shares outstanding.

For the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, operating expenses totaled approximately $12.1 million and $15.7 million, respectively, consisting of R&D expenses, G&A expenses, and amortization and depreciation. The reduction in operating expenses of approximately $3.6 million, or 22.7%, was attributable to reductions in R&D expenses of approximately $4.3 million, offset in part by increased G&A expenses and amortization of approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

G&A expenses totaled approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2019, and were comprised of salaries and benefits, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, professional fees, insurance and various other expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.4 million, or 16%, for the three months ended November 30, 2019 was due to increased salaries and benefits for new employees, coupled with increases in other corporate and administrative expenses.

R&D expenses, which totaled approximately $8.5 million for the three months ended November 30, 2019, decreased approximately $4.3 million, or 33.7%, over the comparable 2018 quarter due a reduction of $3.8 million in manufacturing activity related to the BLA and a reduction in clinical trial costs of $0.4 million for our Phase 2b/3 investigative monotherapy trial. For the quarter ended November 30, 2019, R&D expenditures continue to be primarily devoted to: (1) increased CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls) activities to address regulatory compliance requirements for our BLA filing and leronlimab, (2) our pivotal Phase 2b/3 combination therapy trial and our investigative Phase 2b/3 monotherapy trial, (3) increase in clinical trials in our oncology indications, and (4) continuing activities necessary to complete the BLA filing with the FDA.

We expect future R&D expenses to be dependent on the timing of FDA approval of our BLA filing, the timing of FDA clearance of our pivotal trial protocol for leronlimab as a monotherapy for HIV patients, the clinical progression of our oncology trials, along with the outcome of the pre-clinical studies for several other cancer indications. R&D expenses are also expected to increase due to CMC activities in preparation for approval and commercialization of leronlimab. Until we meet the criteria under general accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to capitalize CMC activities associated with commercial product manufacturing, all CMC manufacturing costs will continue to be expensed as R&D.

Amortization and depreciation expenses totaled approximately $0.5 million increased approximately $0.3 million, or 223%. The increase was primarily attributable to the amortization of intangible assets recognized with the acquisition of ProstaGene.

For the three months ended November 30, 2019, we recognized a non-cash benefit associated with the decrease in fair value of of derivative liabilities of approximately $0.2 million, as compared to a non-cash benefit of approximately $0.3 in the comparable 2018 period. The warrants and two convertible note instruments containing a contingent cash settlement provision that give rise to a derivative liability, originated in September 2016, June 2018 and January 2019, respectively. For each reporting period, we determine the fair value of the derivative liability and record a corresponding non-cash benefit or non-cash charge, as a consequence of a decrease or increase, respectively, in the calculated derivative liability.

Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2019 totaled approximately $2.9 million. The increase of approximately $1.2 million over the comparable quarter in 2018 was driven primarily by (1) a non-cash finance charge levied by a major supplier related to their past due accounts payable balance; (2) non-cash inducement interest expense related to convertible note extensions of $0.3 million with no corresponding charge in the comparable period; (3) amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs of approximately $0.6 million compared to $0.06 in the comparable 2018 period; (4) interest on convertible notes payable of approximately $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million in the comparable 2018 period; offset by (5) a non-cash loss on extinguishment of $1.5 million on a convertible note in the comparable prior period that did not recur in the current period. The loss on extinguishment of the note arose from the GAAP treatment of certain amendments, as more fully described above in Note 4.

The future trends in all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and their related effect on research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, the manufacturing of new commercial leronlimab, and the increasing activities associated with the filing of a BLA. We require a significant amount of additional capital, and our ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend on its ability to raise such capital. See in particular, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019.

Results of Operations for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

For the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, the Company had no activities that produced revenues from operations.

For the six months ended November 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $31.0 million, as compared to a net loss of approximately $28.7 million for the similar period in 2018. The increase in net loss of approximately $2.3 million related primarily to decreases in research and development expenses of approximately $6.8 million, offset by increases in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million, an increase in interest expenses of $5.2 million and a $2.8 million credit for taxes on income in the prior year. The prior year tax credit arose from the recognition of a deferred income tax benefit from a reduction in the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance resulting from recording a deferred tax liability of $2,826,919 in

connection with the acquisition of assets in the ProstaGene LLC transaction. The deferred tax liability represents the tax effect of the difference in the carrying value of the assets and their tax basis at acquisition. The loss per share for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was $(0.08) and $(0.12), respectively, with the reduction in loss per share (despite an increase in aggregate net loss) caused by a significant increase in the number of shares outstanding from the prior period.

For the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, operating expenses totaled approximately $24.8 million and $29.2 million, respectively, consisting of research and development, general and administrative expenses, and amortization and depreciation. The decrease in operating expenses of approximately $4.4 million, or 15%, was attributable to decreases in research and development expenses of approximately $6.8 million; an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million and an increase in amortization and depreciation expense of $0.8 million.

General and administrative expenses, which totaled approximately $6.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 2019, were comprised of salaries and benefits, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, professional fees, insurance and various other expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million, or 34%, for the six months ended November 30, 2019 over the comparable period a year ago was primarily due to an increase in salaries expense from additional headcount of $0.5 million and an increase in external corporate legal fees of $0.8 million.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses, which totaled approximately $17.6 million for the six months ended November 30, 2019, decreased approximately $6.8 million, or 28%, over the comparable 2018 period principally due to lower manufacturing-related expenses of approximately $7.5million, offset by an increase of approximately $0.5 million in license fees associated with proprietary cell lines. For the six-month period ended November 30, 2019, R&D expenditures continue to be primarily devoted to: (1) increased CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls) activities to address regulatory compliance requirements of a future BLA filing and to advance the preparations for manufacturing new quantities of leronlimab (PRO 140), (2) our pivotal Phase 2b/3 combination therapy trial and our investigative Phase 2b/3 monotherapy trial, (3) continuing activities necessary to complete the BLA filing with the FDA, and (4) clinical trials in our oncology indications.

We expect R&D expenses in future periods to level off modestly to reflect completion of manufacturing activities preparation for an anticipated BLA filing in the first half of 2020 followed by a potential strategic advancement in clinical priorities for cancer indications, all of which are subject to the availability of sufficient additional capital. Any acceleration in clinical activities would increase R&D expenses.

For the six months ended November 30, 2019, the Company recognized a non-cash benefit associated with the decrease in fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $0.8 million, as compared to a non-cash charge of approximately $0.5 in the comparable 2018 period. The warrants and two convertible note instruments containing a contingent cash settlement provision that give rise to a derivative liability, originated in September 2016, June 2018 and January 2019, respectively. For each reporting period, we determine the fair value of the derivative liabilities and record a corresponding non-cash benefit or non-cash charge, as a consequence of a decrease or increase, respectively, in the calculated derivative liabilities.

Interest expense for the six months ended November 30, 2019 totaled approximately $7.1 million, as compared to approximately $1.9 million for the similar period in 2018. The components of interest expense include finance charges on certain past due accounts payable balances, non-cash inducement interest expenses incurred on warrant exercises and debt conversion, along with the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs.

The future trends in all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and their related effect on research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, manufacturing of new commercial leronlimab, and the increasing activities associated with the filing of the BLA. The Company requires a significant amount of additional capital and its ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend on its ability to raise such capital. See in particular, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash position at November 30, 2019 decreased approximately $2.3 million to approximately $1.2 million, as compared to a balance of approximately $3.5 million as of May 31, 2019. The net decrease in cash for the six months ended November 30, 2019 was attributable to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $22.0 million, offset in part by net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $19.7 million.

As of November 30, 2019, we had significant negative working capital of approximately $26.5 million compared to negative working capital of approximately $21.6 million at May 31, 2019, an increase in negative working capital of approximately $4.9 million driven by an increase in amounts owed to suppliers, offset by a reduction in cash balances and prepaid service fees.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $22.0 million during the six months ended November 30, 2019, which reflects a decrease of approximately $4.2 million of net cash used in operating activities over the six months ended November 30, 2019. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was due primarily to a reduction in the net loss owing to lower research and development costs of approximately $6.8 million, offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of approximately $1.5 million in the six months ended November 30, 2019, coupled with significantly higher non-cash expenses included in the net loss.

Net cash used in investing activities was immaterial during the six months ended November 30, 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $19.7 million during the six months ended November 30, 2019, decreased approximately $6.0 million over net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended November 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash provided from financing activities was attributable primarily to proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants, preferred stock, and warrant exercises totaling $23.1 million, net of offering costs of approximately $2.0 million, compared to common stock and warrants, and convertible notes payable of $28.5 million net of offering costs of approximately $2.7 million in the same period in the prior year.

Capital Requirements

We have not generated revenue to date, and we do not expect to generate product revenue until FDA approval of leronlimab. We expect that we will continue to incur operating losses as expenses continue to increase as we proceed with completion of our BLA, prepare for commercialization of leronlimab and continue our pre-clinical and clinical trial programs. The future trends of all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the timing of the anticipated approval of our BLA, the magnitude of our commercialization readiness, future clinical trial strategy and timing of the commencement of our future revenue stream. We will require a significant amount of additional capital in the future in anticipation of a fully commercialized leronlimab product.

Contract Manufacturing

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we entered into a Master Services Agreement and Product Specific Agreement (collectively, the “Samsung Agreement”) with Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”), pursuant to which Samsung will perform technology transfer, process validation, manufacturing and supply services for the commercial supply of leronlimab. In April 2019, we delivered to Samsung a purchase order for $33 million worth of process validation and technology transfer services related to the manufacture of leronlimab, with payments by us scheduled to be made throughout calendar 2020. Under the Samsung Agreement, the purchase order is binding and we are obligated to pay the full amount.

Under the terms of the Samsung Agreement, we are obligated to make specified minimum purchases of leronlimab from Samsung pursuant to forecasted requirements which we will provide to Samsung. The first forecast will be delivered to Samsung by March 31, 2020. Thereafter, we must provide Samsung with a rolling quarterly forecast setting forth the total quantity of commercial grade leronlimab that we expect to require in the following years. We estimate that initial ramp-up costs to manufacture commercial grade leronlimab at scale could total approximately $60 million, with approximately $30 million payable over the course of calendar 2020, and approximately $30 million payable in the first quarter of 2021. Thereafter, we will pay Samsung per 15,000L batch according to the pricing terms specified in the Samsung Agreement.

The Samsung Agreement has an initial term ending in December 2027 and will be automatically extended for additional two-year periods unless either party gives notice of termination at least six months prior to the then current term. Either party may terminate the Samsung Agreement in the event of the other party’s insolvency or uncured material breach, and we may terminate the agreement in the event of a voluntary or involuntary complete market withdrawal of leronlimab from commercial markets, with one and half year’s prior notice. Neither party may assign the agreement without the consent of the other, except in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a party to which the agreement relates.

Management believes that two contract manufacturers may best serve our strategic objectives for the anticipated BLA filing and, if approved, the long-term commercial manufacturing capabilities for leronlimab. Management will continue to assess manufacturing capacity requirements as new market information becomes available regarding anticipated demand, subject to FDA approval.

Commercialization Activities

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we entered into a Commercialization and License Agreement (the “Vyera License Agreement”) and a Supply Agreement (the “Vyera Supply Agreement”) with Vyera Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Vyera”).

Pursuant to the Vyera License Agreement, we granted Vyera an exclusive royalty-bearing license to commercialize pharmaceutical preparations containing leronlimab (PRO 140) for treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. Under the terms of the Vyera License Agreement, we are eligible to receive payments from Vyera totaling up to approximately $87.0 million, to be made upon Vyera’s achievement of certain sales and regulatory milestones, subject to reduction if such milestones are not achieved within certain agreed timeframes. In addition, during the Royalty Term (as defined below), we are entitled to royalty payments equal to 50% of Vyera’s gross profit margin from sales of leronlimab (PRO 140) (defined in the Vyera License Agreement as “Net Sales”) in the U.S. Following expiration of the Royalty Term, Vyera will continue to maintain non-exclusive rights to commercialize leronlimab (PRO 140).

The Vyera License Agreement will expire upon the expiration of the Royalty Term. The “Royalty Term” means the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of the Product and ends on the latest of (i) the expiration of the last valid claim of the patents covering the Product, (ii) ten years after the first commercial sale of the Product, (iii) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity for the Product and (iv) the Biosimilar Entry Date (as defined in the Vyera License Agreement). The Vyera License Agreement may be terminated by either party for material breach, upon a party’s insolvency or bankruptcy, or for a safety concern or clinical failure.

Pursuant to the Vyera Supply Agreement, Vyera has agreed to purchase from us its requirements of leronlimab (PRO 140) for commercialization under the Vyera License Agreement. The price that Vyera will pay for purchases of leronlimab (PRO 140) is capped at an agreed upon amount that will rise over time in accordance with the Producer Price Index for Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Under the terms of the Vyera Supply Agreement, Vyera is obligated to make purchases of leronlimab (PRO 140) from us pursuant to Vyera’s forecasted requirements, updated monthly, which will contain a binding period that will increase over the course of the first two years following receipt of Regulatory Approval (as defined in the Vyera Supply Agreement) of leronlimab (PRO 140) for the treatment of HIV in humans.

The Vyera Supply Agreement will expire at the expiration of the Royalty Term, provided that Vyera shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to extend the term of the Vyera Supply Agreement for so long as Vyera agrees to continue to pay us an agreed-upon royalty payment. The Vyera Supply Agreement will automatically terminate upon the termination of the Vyera License Agreement in the event that the termination of the Vyera License Agreement occurs prior to the expiration of the Royalty Term. The Vyera Supply Agreement may be terminated by either party for material breach or upon a party’s insolvency or bankruptcy.

Contract Research

We have entered into project work orders for each of our clinical trials with our CRO and related laboratory vendors. Under the terms of these agreements, we have prepaid certain execution fees for direct services costs. In connection with our clinical trials, we have entered into separate project work orders for each trial with our CRO. In the event that we terminate any trial, we may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the CRO. Conditioned upon the form of termination of any one trial, the financial penalties may range up to $0.8 million. In the remote circumstance that we terminate all clinical trials, the collective financial penalties may range from an approximate low of $0.7 million to an approximate high of $1.9 million.

Licensing

Under the Progenics Purchase Agreement, we are required to pay Progenics the following ongoing milestone payments and royalties: (i) $5.0 million at the time of the first U.S. new drug application approval by the FDA or other non-U.S. approval for the sale of leronlimab (PRO 140); and (ii) royalty payments of up to five percent (5%) on net sales during the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of leronlimab (PRO 140) until the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire patent included in the acquired assets, and (b) 10 years, in each case determined on a country-by country basis. In addition, under a Development and License Agreement, dated April 30, 1999 (the “PDL License”), between Protein Design Labs (now AbbVie Inc.) and Progenics, which was previously assigned to us, we are required to pay AbbVie Inc. additional milestone payments and royalties as follows: (i) $0.5 million upon filing a BLA with the FDA or non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; (ii) $0.5 million upon FDA approval or approval by another non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; and (iii) royalties of up to 3.5% of net sales for the longer of 10 years and the date of expiration of the last to expire licensed patent. Additionally, the PDL License provides for an annual maintenance fee of $150,000 until royalties paid exceed that amount. As of the date of this filing, while we have completed and filed the first of three portions of our BLA, we expect to file the remaining two portions in the first quarter of 2020. Further, if the BLA is accepted by the FDA, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future clinical development and regulatory milestones is not reasonably determinable, thus the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and its sub-licensors are deemed contingent consideration and, therefore, are not currently accruable.

Going Concern

As reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the six months ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, we incurred net losses of approximately $31.0 million and $28.7 million, respectively. We have no activities that produced revenue in the periods presented and have sustained operating losses since inception.

We currently require and will continue to require a significant amount of additional capital to fund operations, pay our accounts payables, and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise such additional capital, commercialize our product and achieve profitability. If we are not able to raise such additional capital on a timely basis or on favorable terms, we may need to scale back our operations or slow down or cease certain clinical trials or CMO activities, which could materially delay the timeframe to BLA submission. Our failure to raise additional capital could also affect our relationships with key vendors, disrupting our ability to timely execute our business plan. In extreme cases, we could be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, discontinue our operations or liquidate our assets.

Since inception, we have financed our activities principally from the sale of public and private equity securities and proceeds from convertible notes payable and related party notes payable. We intend to finance our future operating activities and our working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional financing sources. As of the date of this filing, we have approximately 11 million shares of common stock authorized, unreserved and available for issuance under our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and approximately $134 million available for future registered offerings of securities under our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on March 7, 2018 (assuming the full exercise of outstanding warrants, at the currently applicable exercise prices, that were previously issued in registered transactions thereunder).

The sale of equity and convertible debt securities to raise additional capital may result in dilution to stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these activities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. On January 30, 2019, we entered into a long-term convertible note, which is secured by all of our assets, except for our intellectual property and also includes certain restrictive provisions, such as a limitation on additional indebtedness and future dilutive issuances of securities, any of which could impair our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms and conditions. Any other third-party funding arrangements could require us to relinquish valuable rights. We may require additional capital beyond currently anticipated needs. Additional capital, if available, may not be available on reasonable or non-dilutive terms. Please refer to the matters discussed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses for all periods presented and have a substantial accumulated deficit. As of November 30, 2019, these factors, among several others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain a significant amount of additional operating capital, complete development of our product candidate, obtain FDA approval, outsource manufacturing of our product, and ultimately to attain profitability. We intend to seek additional funding through equity or debt offerings, licensing agreements or strategic alliances to implement our business plan. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in these endeavors.

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 effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of November 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 30, 2019.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2019, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On July 26, 2019, our Board of Directors terminated the employment of Dr. Richard G. Pestell, our former Chief Medical Officer, for cause pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. On August 22, 2019, we received notice that a lawsuit naming the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board was filed by Dr. Pestell in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging breach of Dr. Pestell’s employment agreement, among other claims, and seeking damages in the amount of certain severance entitlements thereunder pertaining to non-cause termination, among other relief. The treatment of those entitlements and of certain previously granted unvested stock options and shares of restricted common stock, which were subject

to a repurchase option, are expected to be determined by the outcome of this litigation. On September 17, 2019, the Company and the other defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in part. On September 27, 2019, Dr. Pestell amended his complaint. On October 10, 2019 and October 11, 2019, the Company and the other defendants again moved to dismiss the complaint in part. That motion remains pending. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

From time to time, we are involved in claims and suits that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management currently believes that the resolution of any such claims against us, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on August 14, 2019, under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, except as discussed below, and investors should review the risks provided in the Annual Report and below, prior to making an investment in us. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Annual Report, under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

Risks Related to Our Business

We depend on the Vyera License Agreement for the commercialization of leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. Vyera’s failure to successfully commercialize leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in the U.S. could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On December 17, 2019, we entered into the Vyera License Agreement under which we granted Vyera an exclusive royalty-bearing license to commercialize pharmaceutical preparations containing leronlimab for treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the Vyera License Agreement, Vyera is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts (as defined in the Vyera License Agreement) to commercialize leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S.

Under the terms of the Vyera License Agreement, Vyera will make payments to us of up to $87.0 million based upon the achievement of certain sales and regulatory milestones. In addition, Vyera will pay a royalty to us equal to fifty percent of Vyera’s gross profit margin from leronlimab sales (defined in the Vyera License Agreement as “Net Sales”) in the U.S. The right to potential future payments under the Vyera License Agreement represents a significant portion of the value of the Vyera License Agreement. We cannot be certain that we will receive any future payments under the Vyera License Agreement, which would adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Vyera’s ability to successfully commercialize and generate revenues from leronlimab depends on a number of factors, including Vyera’s ability to:

•

develop and execute its sales and marketing strategies for leronlimab;

•

achieve, maintain and grow market acceptance of, and demand for, leronlimab;

•

obtain and maintain adequate coverage, reimbursement and pricing from managed care, government and other third- party payers;

•

maintain and manage the necessary sales, marketing, manufacturing, managed markets, and other capabilities and infrastructure that are required to successfully integrate and commercialize leronlimab; and

•

comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Additional factors that may affect the success of our commercialization arrangement with Vyera include the following:

•

we may not succeed in getting leronlimab approved or approved with commercially competitive labeling;

•

Vyera may prioritize the commercialization of its other products over leronlimab;

•

Vyera may pursue higher-priority programs, or change the focus of its marketing programs;

•

Vyera may acquire or develop alternative products;

•

Vyera may in the future choose to devote fewer resources to leronlimab;

•

changes in laws and regulations applicable to, and scrutiny of, the pharmaceutical industry;

•

market acceptance of leronlimab may fail to materialize, increase or may decrease;

•

Vyera may experience financial difficulties; and

•

Vyera may fail to comply with its obligations under our Vyera License Agreement and related agreements.

Any of the preceding factors could affect Vyera’s commitment to, and ability to perform, its obligations under the Vyera License Agreement, which, in turn could adversely affect the commercial success of leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. Any failure by Vyera to successfully commercialize leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If Vyera is not successful in commercializing leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S., our revenues and our business will suffer.

The commercial success of leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. will depend almost entirely on Vyera’s commercialization efforts. Pursuant to the Vyera License Agreement, Vyera is responsible for marketing, pricing, promoting, selling and distributing leronlimab for the treatment of HIV in humans in the U.S. If the Vyera License Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, including due to a party’s failure to perform its obligations or responsibilities under the Vyera License Agreement, then we would need to commercialize leronlimab ourselves, for which we currently have no infrastructure, or alternatively enter into a new agreement with another commercialization partner, of which no assurance can be given. If we are unable to build the necessary infrastructure to commercialize leronlimab ourselves, which would substantially increase our expenses and capital requirements, which we are currently unable to fund, or are unable to find a suitable replacement commercialization partner, we would be unable to generate any revenue from leronlimab. Even if we are successful at replacing the commercialization capabilities of Vyera, potential revenues and/or royalties from leronlimab could be adversely affected.

Vyera may market other products, for which leronlimab will vie for Vyera’s, promotional, marketing, and selling resources. If Vyera fails to commit sufficient promotional, marketing and selling resources to leronlimab, our potential royalties and receipt of milestone payments could be adversely impacted. Additionally, there can be no assurance that Vyera will commit the resources required for the successful commercialization of leronlimab.

If Vyera prices leronlimab inappropriately, fails to position and sell leronlimab properly, targets inappropriate physician specialties, or otherwise does not provide sufficient promotional support, potential product revenue and our potential royalties and milestone payments could be materially adversely affected.

Vyera’s promotional, marketing and sales activities in connection with leronlimab are subject to various federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the federal False Claims Act. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce, or in return for, the purchase or recommendation of an item or service reimbursable under a federal healthcare program. The federal False Claims Act imposes liability on any person who, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal healthcare program. If Vyera’s activities are found to be in violation of these laws or any other federal and state fraud and abuse laws, Vyera may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from federal healthcare programs and the curtailment or restructuring of its activities with regard to the commercialization of leronlimab, which could harm the commercial success of leronlimab and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will depend on Vyera and any other future licensees and royalty-agreement counterparties for the determination of royalty and milestone payments. While we typically have primary or back-up rights to audit our licensees and royalty-agreement counterparties, the independent auditors may have difficulty determining the correct royalty calculation, we may not be able to detect errors and payment calculations may call for retroactive adjustments. We may have to exercise legal remedies, if available, to resolve any disputes resulting from the audit.

The royalty and milestone payments we may receive pursuant to the Vyera License Agreement and any future license or commercialization agreements are dependent on our licensees based on their reported achievement of regulatory milestones and product sales. Each licensee’s calculation of the royalty payments is subject to and dependent upon the adequacy and accuracy of its sales and accounting functions, and errors may occur from time to time in the calculations made by a licensee and/or a licensee may fail to report the achievement of royalties or milestones in whole or in part. Our license and royalty agreements typically provide us the primary or back-up right to audit the calculations and sales data for the associated royalty payments; however, such audits may occur many months following our recognition of the royalty revenue, may require us to adjust our royalty revenues in later periods and may require expense on the part of the Company. Further, our licensees and royalty-agreement counterparties may be uncooperative or have insufficient records, which may complicate and delay the audit process.

Although we intend to regularly exercise our royalty audit rights as necessary and to the extent available, we rely in the first instance on our licensees and royalty-agreement counterparties to accurately report the achievement of milestones and royalty sales and calculate and pay applicable milestones and royalties and, upon exercise of such royalty and other audit rights, we rely on licensees’ and royalty-agreement counterparties’ cooperation in performing such audits. In the absence of such cooperation, we may be forced to exercise legal remedies, if available, to enforce our agreements.

Any failure of any of our upstream suppliers to deliver necessary quantities of leronlimab could result in delays in our commercialization schedule and adversely affect our ability to meet our supply obligations to Vyera. In addition, we may still be obligated to satisfy obligations to our upstream suppliers and/or licensors even if Vyera’s commercialization achievements are insufficient to enable us to fully satisfy such obligation.

We depend on our upstream supply agreements with various partners to satisfy our obligations under the Vyera Supply Agreement to supply leronlimab to Vyera for commercialization. A failure in our upstream supply chain could adversely impact our ability to meet our supply obligations under the Vyera Supply Agreement and could impact Vyera’s ability to successfully commercialize leronlimab. We have obligations to our upstream suppliers and licensors that are independent of Vyera’s obligations to us. Therefore, if Vyera is not able to successfully commercialize leronlimab, we may still be obligated to meet certain of our obligations to our upstream suppliers. There can be no assurances that Vyera’s commercialization of leronlimab will be sufficient to enable us to meet the obligations to our upstream suppliers and/or licensors.

We anticipate being able to provide to Vyera, in satisfaction of our supply obligations thereto, certain inventory of product that we have on hand in connection with the launch and initial commercialization period of leronlimab. If we are unable to do so due to dating restrictions at the time of regulatory approval of leronlimab, the launch of leronlimab may be delayed and we will likely incur additional costs in order to provide Vyera with sufficient product for the launch and the initial commercialization period of leronlimab.
