On the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents were $3.5 million as of September 30, 2025. The principal amount of outstanding debt was $35.6 million, and the liability related to the sale of future royalties and milestones was $295.2 million as of September 30, 2025. Shares outstanding were 34,008,349 as of November 7, 2025.
Management disclosed that, despite post-quarter cash actions—including a $10.0 million Zydus promissory note and $4.5 million raised via at-the-market sales—and anticipated $91.0 million from Zydus Lifesciences agreements in Q1 2026, substantial doubt continues to exist about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after filing. The quarter also reflects the shift to accounting for MiNK under the equity method (fair value option).
