Note 1 - Organization, Description of Business and Liquidity and Capital Resources Mustang Bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “Mustang”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 13, 2015. Mustang is as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel cancer immunotherapy products designed to utilize the power of the patient’s own immune system to eliminate cancer cells. The Company may acquire rights to these technologies by licensing the rights or otherwise acquiring an ownership interest in the technologies, funding their research and development and eventually either out-licensing or bringing the technologies to market. The Company is a majority-controlled subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (“Fortress” or “Parent”). Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $59.8 million. The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities. The Company expects to continue to use the proceeds from previous financing transactions primarily for general corporate purposes, including financing the Company’s growth, developing new or existing product candidates, and funding capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. The Company currently anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents balances and short-term investments held to maturity at June 30, 2018 are sufficient to fund its anticipated operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company will require additional financing to fully develop, prepare regulatory filings, obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize its existing and any new product candidates. |
