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 translating today’s medical breakthroughs in cell and gene therapy into potential cures for hematologic cancers, solid tumors and rare genetic diseases. 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $67.3 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. Currently, there exists substantial doubt that the Company can execute management’s plan over the next twelve months without additional financing. If such financing is not available or not available on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s current development plan and plans for expansion of its general and administrative infrastructure will be curtailed.
The Company will require additional financing to fully develop, prepare regulatory filings, obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize its existing and any new product candidates. |
