CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RestorGenex Corporation (OTCQB: RESX), a specialty biopharmaceutical company initially focused on developing products for dermatology, ophthalmology and women’s health, today reported on its cash balance as of June 30, 2014 and its financial results for the second quarter of 2014.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2014 were approximately $27.1 million. RestorGenex incurred a net loss of approximately $4.5 million or ($0.35) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $2.3 million or $0.82 per share for the same period in 2013. The increase in the net loss was due primarily to $10.6 million in other income recognized in 2013 for non-cash gains on adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s previously owned derivative liability and extinguishment of that derivative liability combined with higher expenses in 2014 associated with the Company’s research and development efforts to advance its technologies and products.
As of June 30, 2014, current liabilities decreased 53% compared to year-end 2013. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, certain liabilities in the amount of approximately $1.8 million were paid resulting in current liabilities of approximately $2.3 million as of August 13, 2014.
The Company has no long-term debt. In July 2014, RestorGenex closed its fifth and final round of a private placement of common shares with gross proceeds to the Company of $35.6 million and net proceeds of approximately $31.3 million, after deduction for placement agent fees, estimated offering expenses and certain accounts payable.
Stephen M. Simes, chief executive officer of RestorGenex, said, “Several notable milestones have been achieved this year, including the successful closing of our private placement, the addition of several new, quality investors, the closing of two mergers, the hiring of Phillip Donenberg, our chief financial officer, and Mark Weinberg, MD, our senior vice president of clinical development, as well as continuing our efforts to evaluate, prioritize and develop our technologies and products.”
