OncoSec Medical Announces First Quarter Results for Fiscal Year End 2015

OncoSec Medical Inc. (OTCQB: ONCS), a company developing DNA-based intratumoral cancer immunotherapies, today announced financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2014.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the quarter ended October 31, 2014, OncoSec Medical reported a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.01 per share, for the same period last year. There were no revenues for quarter ended October 31, 2014 or October 31, 2013.

Research and development expenses were $2.5 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2014, compared to $0.8 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2013. This increase in research and development expenses was primarily a result of increased salary related expenses, increased outside services costs and increased lab supplies as we further expand our internal research capabilities and further our research of next-generation devices, novel electroporation technologies and combination studies.

General and administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2014, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2013. This increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of increased salary related expenses due to increased headcount to support the growth in our operations, offset by a savings in legal services costs.

At October 31, 2014, we had $34.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $37.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 2014. We expect these funds to be sufficient to allow us to continue to operate our business for at least the next 12 months.
