Liquidity and Going Concern

Liquidity and Going Concern In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Management assessed that there were such conditions and events, primarily the October 1, 2023 due date for the Goldman Sachs outstanding debt of $51.0 million at fair value (see Note 10 – Term Note Payable for further discussion of the outstanding debt). As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $23.8 million. While the Company believes internally generated cash will adequately fund operating and investment activities over the next twelve months, there will not be sufficient internally generated cash, nor does the Company expect that it could obtain sufficient financing through underwritten public offerings, at-the-market offerings or other similar methods, to retire the outstanding debt. The Company has engaged Greenhill & Co., LLC (“Greenhill”), a global investment banking firm, to assess financing

alternatives related to the Note Payable as well as to raise incremental capital for general corporate purposes. As there is no guarantee that the Company will successfully complete these financing activities, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the financial statements are issued.

Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19

Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support the Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan in an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements. The amount eligible for forgiveness is, subject to certain limitations, the sum of the Company’s payroll costs, rent and utilities paid by the Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan.

On April 24, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $2,610,200, which was transferred by the Company into an account dedicated to allowable uses of the PPP loan proceeds. On May 13, 2020, the Company repaid $660,200 of the loan in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. In February 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in full of the original balance of the PPP loan and the loan was forgiven in full on June 30, 2021. The Company received a refund of $660,200 and recorded these amounts within other income on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Despite the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines and improvements in the global economy as a whole during Fiscal 2022, the pandemic remains volatile and continues to evolve, including the emergence of variants of the virus, such as the Omicron variant. The Company will continue to assess its operations, considering the guidance of local governments and global health organizations.
