Analysis · PDSB · Life Sciences
PDS Biotech's Q2 10-Q confirms a $9.8M quarterly net loss and cash of just $5.6M, down from $26.7M at year-end. Management states substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months. The stock is also at risk of Nasdaq delisting after falling below the $1.00 minimum bid price, with a 180-day grace period to regain compliance. If the bid price deficiency is not cured within 75 days, the company must accelerate repayment of its $6M promissory note to YA II PN, Ltd. at $2M per installment. The company has a $50M ATM facility available but has sold only $0.1M under it, and its strategic refocus on PDS0301 after discontinuing the PDS0101 Phase 3 trial leaves it dependent on a single asset with no near-term revenue.
