BUFFALO, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2018 / Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. CBLI today reported financial results and development progress for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Cleveland BioLabs reported a net loss of $(1.1) million, excluding minority interests, for the third quarter of 2018, or $(0.10) per share, compared to a net loss, excluding minority interests, of $(1.26) million, or $(0.11) per share, for the same period in 2017. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in the non-cash adjustment to our warrant liabilities, reduced operating costs aligned with our streamlined focus primarily on pursuing a pre Emergency Use Authorization with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for entolimod as a medical radiation countermeasure partially offset by an increase in General and Administrative costs related to the corporate formation of Genome Protection, Inc. (GPI), our joint venture with Everon Biosciences, Inc. focused on developing anti-aging medications.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $5.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, which, based on the Company's current operational plan, is expected to fund operations for at least one year beyond the filing date of our Form 10-Q.
Yakov Kogan, Ph.D., MBA, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The development, pursuit of regulatory approval and commercialization for entolimod as a medical radiation countermeasure remains our top priority."
Further Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to $0.28 million compared to $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2017. The net decrease was primarily attributable to decreased revenue from our Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program ("JWMRP") contract from the Department of Defense ("DoD") for the continued development of the entolimod as a medical radiation countermeasure and decreased revenue from our service contract with Incuron.
Research and development costs for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to $0.8 million compared to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2017. The reduction in research and development costs is due to a $0.2 million reduction in spending for biodefense applications of entolimod and a $0.1 million reduction in spending on Panacela's product candidates partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in expenses related to the oncology applications of the entolimod family of compounds.
General and administrative costs for the third quarter of 2018 increased to $0.7 million compared to $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to one-time legal costs associated with the corporate formation of GPI and Norma Investments Limited's investment in GPI, and expense related to a one-time settlement for the previously completed research contracts with the Russian Ministry of Trade.
