Liquidity and Going Concern

Liquidity and Going Concern In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 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. Greenhill’s refinancing efforts are ongoing as of December 31, 2022. 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, by introducing an approach based on expected losses. The expected loss approach will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable forecasts. With certain exceptions, the transition to the new guidance will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2019-10”), which defers the adoption of ASU 2016-13 for Smaller Reporting Companies (“SRCs”) as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The ASUs not listed were assessed and determined by management to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.
