In addition, our strong cash position of over $11 million enables us to pursue several material milestones throughout calendar 2023.” Business update
Pharmaceutical Development Programs INM-755 – Phase 2 Clinical Trial in EBTo date, the Ph 2 clinical trial has enrolled 17 patients of its targeted 20 patients. Several additional prospective patients have been identified for screening at the clinical sites and enrollment is expected to complete at the end of March 2023, with initial read out expected in early calendar 3Q 2023. INM-088 – Glaucoma ProgramThe Company continues to conduct the required IND enabling preclinical testing and has planned GLP toxicology studies in mid-2023. Human clinical trials remain on track to commence in calendar 2024. INM-900 – Neurodegenerative Diseases ProgramTwo cannabinoid analogs are being assessed in in vivo models of neurodegenerative diseases and the Company expects these studies to be completed and a candidate selected for further development in calendar 2Q 2023. Our research demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of specific cannabinoid analogs and their potential to improve neuronal function. BayMedica Commercial Business BayMedica continues to be a leading producer of cannabichromene (CBC) with increased revenue in the last two quarters, including a 46% quarter over quarter increase in fiscal 2Q 2023. Management continues to evaluate strategic options and long-term supply agreements for this business segment. Financing Activities and Results of Operations (expressed in US Dollars):On November 21, 2022, the Company closed a private placement of its common shares and issued an aggregate of 1,818,185 common shares (or pre-funded warrants in lieu of), for gross proceeds of approximately $6 million. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $5.6 million, or $3.54 per share, compared with a net loss of $7.3 million, or $14.03 per share, for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Research and development and patents expenses were $2.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared with $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in research and development and patents expenses was primarily due to decreased expenditures related to the transition from capital intensive GLP toxicology into relatively less capital intensive clinical trials. The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared with $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was due to lower personnel expenses, insurance fees, investor relation expenses, accounting fees and stock-based compensation expenses, and was partially offset by higher consulting fees and BayMedica operating costs. Revenues increased by $0.5 million to $0.8 million in our BayMedica segment, or 198%, for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in sales results from expanded marketing efforts to sell inventory on-hand and the Company acquired BayMedica on October 13, 2021, so the six months ended December 31, 2021 results were approximately 2 and a half months. At December 31, 2022, the Company's total issued and outstanding shares were 1,589,992. Subsequent to quarter end, 1,738,204 pre-funded warrants were exercised. As of the date of these filings, the issued and outstanding shares are 3,328,196. During the three and six months ending December 31, 2022, the weighted average number of common shares was 2,300,526 and 1,583,073, which is used for the calculation of loss per share for the respective interim periods. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $11.5 million, which compares to $6.2 million at June 30, 2022. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during the six months to December 31, 2022, was primarily the result of both the September 13, 2022 and November 21, 2022 private placements partially offset by cash outflows from operating activities. With the completion of recent financings and depending on how we prioritize investment into our various development activities, InMed has a projected cash runway to the end of calendar 2023, allowing the Company to pursue certain material milestones over the coming year which we believe will increase shareholder value.
