NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Description of Business

Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Flaskworks L.L.C., NW Bio GmbH, Aracaris Ltd, Aracaris Capital, Ltd, and Northwest Biotherapeutics B.V. (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”) were organized to discover and develop innovative immunotherapies for cancer. The Company has developed DCVax® platform technologies for both operable and inoperable solid tumor cancers. The Company has wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.K., in the Netherlands, and in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Company relies upon contract manufacturers for production of its DCVax products, research and development services, distribution and logistics, and related services, in compliance with the Company’s specifications and the applicable regulatory requirements.

2. Financial Condition, Going Concern and Management Plans

The Company has incurred annual net operating losses since its inception. The Company had a net income of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company used approximately $20.0 million of cash in its operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company does not expect to generate material revenue in the near future from the sale of products and is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties that are typically faced by biotechnology companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to R&D and clinical trials and do not yet have commercial products. The Company expects to continue incurring annual losses for the foreseeable future. The Company’s existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund its operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements until the Company reaches significant revenues. Until that time, the Company will need to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, especially if the Company experiences downturns in its business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if the Company experiences significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company or from expansion of operations. If the Company attempts to obtain additional equity or debt financing, the Company cannot assume that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, or at all.

Because of recurring operating losses and operating cash flow deficits, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of this filing. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As previously reported, coronavirus-related difficulties have impacted most aspects of the database lock and process of analyzing the Phase III trial results, especially with the successive waves of COVID-19 cases in many areas. The independent service firms have had limited capacity, and restrictions on operations. Key experts at certain specialized service providers have been unavailable for periods of time due to illness in their family. Other experts have gone on extended leave due to restrictions on operations. Clinical trial sites have not allowed personnel from the contract research organization managing the trial, or other service providers, to visit the sites for trial matters such as data monitoring and collection activities. Clinical trial site personnel have been unavailable due to being reassigned for COVID-19, and the limited site personnel have had to work under restrictions. Committee processes and regulatory processes have been similarly focused on COVID-19 matters and delayed on other matters. Firms such as the ones storing the Phase III trial tissue samples that are needed for certain analyses, and the firms conducting the analyses have had only limited operations. Even logistical matters such as the shipping of materials have been subjected to substantial restrictions and delays.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K (the “2020 Annual Report”), which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

In preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include recoverability and useful lives (indefinite) of intangible asset, assessment of impairment of goodwill, valuing equity securities in share-based payment arrangements, estimating the fair value of financial instruments recorded as derivative liabilities, useful lives of depreciable assets and whether impairment charges may apply.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted this standard without any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NORTHWEST BIOTHERAPEUTICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

Debt

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. The Company has adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2021 and determined the impact of the adoption to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is immaterial.

4. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), the Company uses various inputs to measure the outstanding warrants and certain embedded conversion feature associated with convertible debt on a recurring basis to determine the fair value of the liability. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy categorizing inputs into three levels used to measure and disclose fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. An explanation of each level in the hierarchy is described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are accessible by the Company on the measurement date

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement (the “Note”) with a commercial lender for an aggregate principal amount of $10 million. The Note bears interest at 8% per annum with a 22-month term. There are no principal repayments during the first 8 months of the term. The note is amortized in 14 installments starting on November 1, 2021. The Note carries an original issue discount of $1 million.

In April 2021, the Company received two additional loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The two PPP loans were received on April 9, 2021 in the amount of $0.4 million total. The current terms of the PPP loan is five years with a maturity date of March 2026 and it contains a favorable fixed annual interest rate of 1.00%. Payments of principal and interest on the PPP Loan are deferred for the first 10 months of the term of the PPP Loan. The Company is using the loan to make payments for payroll, health and disability insurance and rent.

On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into multiple four-month note agreements (the “Notes”) with various individual lenders (the “Holders”) with an aggregate principal amount of $1.9 million. The Notes contain a conditional piggy-back right to independently purchase shares from the Company, which provides a right for the Holders, contingent on the release of clinical trial data and a next private placement offering (“Next Offering”) after this release, to (a) purchase shares from the Company within seven days following such Next Offering at a 12% discount from the share price of the Next Offering for a variable number of shares equal to an amount up to 50% of the principal amount of the loan and (b) exchange some or all of the outstanding loan amount for a variable number of shares, within seven days after the Next Offering at a 12% discount, resulting in a reduced cash amount repayable under the loan agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $5.6 million of debt and interest was independently exchanged by the lender into 5.1 million shares of common stock and 0.8 million warrants. The fair value of common stock and warrants for these conversions were approximately $7.5 million, extinguishing approximately $1.9 million in liability from the note conversions.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, interest expense related to notes payable totaled approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million including amortization of debt discounts totaling $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, interest expense related to notes payable totaled approximately $2.1 million and $1.7 million including amortization of debt discounts totaling $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

7. Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Applicable to Common Stockholders

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted weighted average common shares include common stock potentially issuable under the Company’s convertible notes, warrants and vested and unvested stock options.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net income is adjusted for gain from change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

At July 31, 2021, approximately a total of 245.2 million options and 58.8 million in underlying warrants were under block or suspension until at least August 31, 2021.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices in the U.S. and U.K., and for manufacturing facilities in the U.K. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. The lease renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets as the Company has not yet determined whether to exercise the options. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.

On March 8, 2021, the Company extended its office lease in the U.S for additional three years and five months under an amended agreement. The extension included a waiver of any rent payment for the initial five-month extension period as well as insignificant change to monthly rent costs for the remainder of the lease. The Company recognized additional $0.7 million ROU assets and lease liabilities for its amended office lease in the U.S.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had operating lease liabilities of approximately $5.8 million for both the 20-year lease of the building for the manufacturing facility in Sawston, U.K., and the current office lease in the U.S. ROU assets of approximately $5.1 million for the Sawston lease and US office lease are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Manufacturing Services Agreements

Advent BioServices

On May 14, 2018, the Company entered into a DCVax®-L Manufacturing and Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Advent BioServices, a related party which was formerly part of Cognate BioServices and was spun off separately as part of an institutional financing of Cognate. The Advent Agreement provides for manufacturing of DCVax-L products at an existing facility in London. The Agreement is structured in the same manner as the Company’s prior agreements with Cognate BioServices. The Advent Agreement provides for certain payments for achievement of milestones and, as was the case under the prior agreement with Cognate BioServices, the Company is required to pay certain fees for dedicated production capacity for DCVax production, and pay for manufacturing of DCVax-L products for a certain minimum number of patients, whether or not the Company fully utilizes the dedicated capacity and number of patients. Either party may terminate the MSA on 12 months’ notice, to allow for transition arrangements by both parties.

On November 8, 2019, the Company and Advent entered into an Ancillary Services Agreement with an 8-month Term for U.K. Facility Development Activities and Compassionate Use Program Activities. The Ancillary Services Agreement establishes a structure under which Advent develops Statements of Work (“SOWs”) for the U.K. Facility Development Activities and Compassionate Use Program Activities, and delivers those SOWs to the Company for review and approval. After an SOW is approved by the Company, Advent will proceed with or continue the applicable services and will invoice the Company pursuant to the SOW. Since both the U.K. Facility Development and the Compassionate Use Program involve pioneering and uncertainties in most aspects, the invoicing under the Ancillary Services Agreement is on the basis of costs incurred plus fifteen percent. The Ancillary Services Agreement had an original term of eight months, which ended in July 2020. The Company extended the term by 12 months to July 2021, with no other changes, and recently extended it for another 12 months to July 2022.

The Company provided documentation and accrued for a proposed settlement offer that included €346,000 (approximately $406,000 as of December 31, 2020) for the years under audit, with an additional €101,000 (approximately $118,000) for the more recent years to date. Penalties and interest on the proposed amounts were under negotiation, however, it is now, in the Company’s opinion, anticipated that interest may be required as part of the settlement and therefore interest for the 2013-2020 period of €120,000 ($143,000) was accrued during the period ended June 30, 2021. A request for waiver of late payment penalty was submitted to the German authorities and penalties were substantially reduced. A final settlement and then final bill received August 4, 2021 from the German Tax Authority confirmed that only a portion of the original bill is now owed (€277,000) for the period under audit. The Company is awaiting a final bill from the local authority for trade taxes in order to accurately determine total tax amounts to be paid for the audit period through present. After considering further negotiations, the Company concluded based on its evaluation under ASC 740, it is in the view of the Company that the resolution of these tax matters will not more likely than not ultimately result in a net material charge to the Company.

11. Revision to Prior Period Financial Statements

During the course of preparing the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company identified an error in its accrual and capitalization related to the Sawston Facility and research and development costs under the Advent Ancillary Services Agreement. The Company concluded that the error was not material to any prior annual period and the error had no material impact to any prior interim period. Nevertheless, the Company has revised its historical consolidated financial statements to properly reflect research and development expenses, capitalization of construction in progress and accrued liabilities in the prior periods. The effect of these revisions to the consolidated financial statements on the June 30, 2020 period was an understatement of net loss of $100,000 and $200,000 for research and development expenses related to services provided during the three and six month periods, respectively, and an understatement of $809,000 in accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures on the balance sheet.

12. Subsequent Events

In total, the Company received $5.7 million from exercises of warrants, issuance of notes and a VAT refund between July 1, 2021 and August 13, 2021.

During July and August 2021, 15.2 million shares of common stock were issued upon warrant exercises of $3.3 million.

During July and August 2021, the Company entered into multiple four-month note agreements (the “Notes”) with various individual lenders (the “Holders”) with an aggregate principal amount of $0.97 million for net proceeds of $0.93 million. The Notes contain a conditional piggy-back right to independently purchase shares from the Company, which provides a right for the Holders, contingent on the release of clinical trial data and the next private placement offering (“Next Offering”) after this release, to (a) purchase shares from the Company within seven days following such Next Offering at a 12% discount from the share price of the Next Offering for a variable number of shares equal to an amount up to 50% of the principal amount of the loan and (b) exchange some or all of the outstanding loan amount for a variable number of shares, within seven days after the Next Offering at a 12% discount, resulting in a reduced cash amount repayable under the loan agreement.

On August 2, 2021, the Company received a Value-added Tax refund of approximately $1.5 million from HM Revenue and Customs, the U.K. tax authority.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included with this report. In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, but some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Many factors could affect our actual results, including those factors described under “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in Part II Item 1A of this report. These factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those presently anticipated by us. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a biotechnology company focused on developing personalized immune therapies for cancer. We have developed a platform technology, DCVax®, which uses activated dendritic cells to mobilize a patient’s own immune system to attack their cancer.

Our lead product, DCVax®-L, is designed to treat solid tumor cancers in which the tumor can be surgically removed. We have conducted a 331-patient international Phase III trial of DCVax-L for Glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer (GBM). As previously reported, the data collection and confirmation process was conducted by the independent contract research organization (CRO) who managed the trial and by other independent service firms. On October 5, 2020, the Company announced that Data Lock for the Phase III trial had been reached, and that a series of steps and processes would follow. These processes included data validation, analyses of the data by independent statisticians, preparations by the statisticians of summaries of the Trial results for review by the Company, the Principal Investigator, the Steering Committee of the Trial, the Scientific Advisory Board, and independent experts, in preparation for publication in a scientific journal and public announcement. This series of processes is under way. It is anticipated that public announcement will follow these processes.

As also previously reported, coronavirus-related difficulties have impacted most aspects of the process, especially with the waves of COVID-19 cases in many areas. The independent service firms have had limited capacity, and restrictions on operations. Key experts at certain specialized service providers have been unavailable for periods of time due to illness in their family. Other experts have gone on extended leave due to restrictions on operations. Clinical trial site personnel have been unavailable due to being reassigned for COVID-19, and the limited site personnel have had to work under restrictions. The clinical trial sites have not allowed personnel from the contract research organization and other service firms to make monitoring visits to check data and resolve queries. Committee processes and regulatory processes have been focused on COVID-19 matters and delayed on other matters. Firms such as the ones storing the Phase III trial tissue samples that are needed for certain analyses, and the firms conducting the analyses have had only limited operations. Even logistical matters such as the shipping of materials have been subjected to substantial restrictions and delays.

On August 28, 2020, the Company acquired Flaskworks, LLC (“Flaskworks”), a company that has developed a system to close and automate the manufacturing of cell therapy products such as DCVax®. The Company acquired 100% of the ownership, and Flaskworks became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Flaskworks was previously owned by its technical founders and Corning Inc. The technical team from Flaskworks joined the Company as part of the Acquisition. It is anticipated that the Flaskworks system will enable substantial scale-up of production volumes of DCVax products and substantial reduction of production costs. The Company’s buildout of the Sawston, UK facility has been designed to proceed in phases, as modules, both for efficiency in the timing of capital costs and to allow flexibility in operations and usage. The Company anticipates that implementation of the Flaskworks system will enable certain phases of the buildout to be simplified and streamlined.

Our second product, DCVax®-Direct, is designed to treat inoperable solid tumors. A 40-patient Phase I trial has been completed, and included treatment of a diverse range of more than a dozen types of cancers. The Company is working on preparations for Phase II trials of DCVax-Direct, as resources permit.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to derivative liabilities, accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly given the significant social and economic disruptions and uncertainties associated with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the COVID-19 control responses.

Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates have not changed substantially from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

Operating costs:

Operating costs and expenses consist primarily of research and development expenses, including clinical trial expenses, which increase when we are actively participating in clinical trials and especially when we are in a large ongoing international phase III trial or we are completing such a large international trial, and undertaking substantial one-time expenses such as for final site visits, query resolutions, statistical work for the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) and analyses pursuant to the SAP, preparations for data analyses and other activities related to completion and assessment of the trial and its results. The operating costs also include administrative expenses associated with trials and increase as such operating activities grow.

In addition to clinical trial related costs, our operating costs may include ongoing work relating to our DCVax products, including R&D, product characterization, and related matters.

Following our acquisition of Flaskworks, our operating costs now include the costs for its ongoing operations and its intellectual property filings.

Our operating costs also include the costs of preparations for new or expanded clinical trial programs, such as our planned Phase II clinical trials. The preparation costs include payments to regulatory consultants, lawyers, statisticians, sites and others, evaluation of potential investigators, the clinical trial sites and the CROs managing the trials and other service providers, and expenses related to institutional approvals, clinical trial agreements (business contracts with sites), training of medical and other site personnel, trial supplies and other. Additional substantial costs relate to the maintenance and substantial expansion of manufacturing capacity, in both the U.S. and Europe.

Our operating costs also include significant legal and accounting costs in operating the Company.

Research and development:

Discovery and preclinical research and development expenses include costs for substantial external scientific personnel, technical and regulatory advisers, and others, costs of laboratory supplies used in our internal research and development projects, travel, regulatory compliance, and expenditures for preclinical and clinical trial operation and management when we are actively engaged in clinical trials.

Because we are a pre-revenue company, we do not allocate research and development costs on a project basis. We adopted this policy, in part, due to the unreasonable cost burden associated with accounting at such a level of detail and our limited number of financial and personnel resources.

21

General and administrative:

General and administrative expenses include personnel related salary and benefit expenses, cost of facilities, insurance, travel, legal services, property and equipment and amortization of stock options and warrants.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

We recognized a net income of $4.4 million and a net loss of $58.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Research and Development Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, research and development expense was $5.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The increase was mainly related to an increase of $2.5 million stock-based compensation that represented the vesting of a portion of previously granted equity-based awards, and that was recognized in research and development expense.

We incurred approximately $1.8 million and $1.3 million in expenses from related parties during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses were $7.4 million and $4.3 million for three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was mainly related to an increase of $1.0 million stock-based compensation that represented the vesting of a portion of previously granted equity-based awards, and that was recognized in general and administrative expense. The remaining $2.1 million increase related to consulting expenses.

Change in fair value of derivatives

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized a non-cash gain of $17.5 million and a non-cash loss of $49.1 million, respectively. The gain was primarily due to the decrease of our stock price as of June 30, 2021 ($1.47 per share) compared to March 31, 2021 ($1.49 per share), and the loss was primarily due to the increase of our stock price as of June 30, 2020 ($0.34 per share) compared to March 31, 2020 ($0.16 per share).

Interest Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded interest expense of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

We recognized a net income of $0.3 million and a net loss of $55.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Research and Development Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, research and development expense was $12.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The increase was mainly related to an increase of $6.3 million stock-based compensation that represented the vesting of a portion of previously granted equity-based awards, and that was recognized in research and development expense.

We incurred approximately $3.5 million and $2.8 million in expenses from related parties during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

22

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses were $20.3 million and $8.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was mainly related to an increase of $6.7 million stock-based compensation that represented the vesting of a portion of previously granted equity-based awards, and that was recognized in general and administrative expense. The remaining $4.7 million increase related to consulting expenses.

Change in fair value of derivatives

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized a non-cash gain of $35.1 million and a non-cash loss of $36.2 million, respectively. The gain was primarily due to the decrease of our stock price as of June 30, 2021 ($1.47 per share) compared to December 31, 2020 ($1.53 per share), and the loss was primarily due to the increase of our stock price as of June 30, 2020 ($0.34 per share) compared to December 31, 2019 ($0.21 per share)

Interest Expense

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded interest expense of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced recurring losses from operations since inception. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues and must cover our operating expenses through debt and equity financings to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the ability to obtain adequate capital to fund operating losses until we generate adequate cash flows from operations to fund our operating costs and obligations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

We depend upon our ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Our management determined that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements were issued, and management’s concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern within the year following this report persist.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash outflows from operations were approximately $20.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in clinical trial related expenditures.

Financing Activities

We received approximately $4.1 million and $4.0 million cash from the exercise of warrants and options during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We received approximately $10.0 million cash proceeds from a loan from a commercial lender, $1.9 million cash from loans from various third-party lenders and $0.4 million from PPP loans during six months ended June 30, 2021.

We received approximately $11.6 million cash from issuance of 68.6 million shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

We made an aggregate debt payment of approximately $0.8 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

23

We received approximately $5.7 million cash proceeds from issuances of debt to third parties during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

We received approximately $0.3 million in cash proceeds from issuances of debt to a related party during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Other factors affecting our ongoing funding requirements include the number of staff we employ, the number of sites, number of patients and amount of activity in our clinical trial programs, the costs of further product and process development work relating to our DCVax products, the costs of preparations for Phase II trials, the costs of expansion of manufacturing, and unanticipated developments. The extent of resources available to us will determine which programs can move forward and at what pace.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since our inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may result from the change in value of financial instruments due to fluctuations in its market price. Market risk is inherent in all financial instruments. Market risk may be exacerbated in times of trading illiquidity when market participants refrain from transacting in normal quantities and/or at normal bid-offer spreads. Our exposure to market risk is directly related to derivatives, debt and equity linked instruments related to our financing activities.

Our assets and liabilities are overwhelmingly denominated in U.S. dollars. We do not use foreign currency contracts or other derivative instruments to manage changes in currency rates. We do not now, nor do we plan to, use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. However, these circumstances might change.

The primary quantifiable market risk associated with our financial instruments is sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk represents the potential loss from adverse changes in market interest rates. We use an interest rate sensitivity simulation to assess our interest rate risk exposure. For purposes of presenting the possible earnings effect of a hypothetical, adverse change in interest rates over the 12-month period from our reporting date, we assume that all interest rate sensitive financial instruments will be impacted by a hypothetical, immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of the beginning of the period. The sensitivity is based upon the hypothetical assumption that all relevant types of interest rates that affect our results would increase instantaneously, simultaneously and to the same degree. We do not believe that our cash and equivalents have significant risk of default or illiquidity.

The sensitivity analyses of the interest rate sensitive financial instruments are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in fair value based on a 1% or 2% variation in an estimate generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the estimate to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular estimate on the fair value of financial instruments is calculated independent of changes in any other estimate; in practice, changes in one factor may result in changes in another factor, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. In addition, the sensitivity analyses do not consider any action that we may take to mitigate the impact of any adverse changes in the key estimates.

Based on our analysis, as of June 30, 2021, the effect of a 100+/- basis point change in interest rates on the value of our financial instruments and the resultant effect on our net loss are considered immaterial.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of June 30, 2021, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation,

24

management concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent quarter with respect to our operations, which materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
