This excerpt taken from the HEPH 10-Q filed May 14, 2009. Liquidity and Capital Resources A summary of our current contractual obligations is as follows (in thousands):
We may also be required to make substantial milestone or royalty payments in cash based on the terms of some of our agreements. Our operations to date have consumed substantial capital without generating any revenues other than the amount received under the CFFT collaboration. We will continue to require substantial and increasing amounts of funds to conduct necessary research and development and preclinical and clinical testing of our drug candidates, and to market any drug candidates that receive regulatory approval. We do not expect to generate revenue from operations for the foreseeable future, and our ability to meet our cash obligations as they become due and payable may depend for at least the next several years on our ability to sell securities, borrow funds or some combination thereof. Based upon our current plans, we believe that our existing capital resources, together with interest thereon, will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, changes in our research and development plans or other events affecting our operating expenses may result in the expenditure of such cash before that time. We may not be successful in raising necessary funds. As of March 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $20.1 million. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with preclinical testing and clinical trials, the number and breadth of our programs, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, effective commercialization, marketing activities and other arrangements. We may incur increasing negative cash flows and net losses for the foreseeable future. We may seek additional funding through public or private financing or through collaborative arrangements with strategic partners. These excerpts taken from the HEPH 10-K filed Mar 31, 2009. Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the sale of shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 1995, we received cash proceeds of $250,000 from the sale of securities. In May 1996, we completed a private placement of shares of common stock, from which we received aggregate gross proceeds of $1.3 million. In March 1997, the Merger of IAC and Hollis-Eden, Inc. provided us with $6.5 million in cash and other receivables. In May 1998, we completed a private placement of common stock and warrants, from which we received gross proceeds of $20 million. During January 1999, we completed two private placements of common stock raising approximately $25 million. In December 2001, we completed a private placement of common stock and warrants, from which we received gross proceeds of $11.5 million. In February 2003, we completed a private placement of convertible debentures and warrants, from which we received gross proceeds of $10.0 million. In June 2003, we completed a private placement of common stock and warrants, from which we received gross proceeds of $14.7 million. In October 2003 we completed a public offering of our common stock from which we received $62.5 million in gross proceeds. In June 2005, we completed a sale of shares of our common stock and warrants from which we received $10.0 million in gross proceeds. During 2006 (in February and in November), we completed two sales of shares of our common stock and warrants from which we received, in the aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $52.0 million. In addition, we have received a total of $17.8 million from the exercise of warrants and stock options from inception.
On June 20, 2003, convertible debentures with a face value of $0.5 million were converted into 87,720 shares of our common stock, leaving a $9.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures outstanding.
We became entitled to convert the outstanding debentures into common stock in August 2003 and the remaining aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures with a face value of $9.5 million were converted into 1,666,680 shares of our common stock with a value of $5.70 per share.
A summary of our current contractual obligations is as follows (in thousands):
We may also be required to make substantial milestone or royalty payments in cash based on the terms of some of our agreements (See Note 6 to the Financial Statements).

continue to require substantial and increasing amounts of funds to conduct necessary research and development and preclinical and clinical testing of our drug candidates, and to market any drug candidates that receive regulatory approval.

We may not be successful in raising necessary funds. As of December 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $24.2 million.
Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with preclinical testing and clinical trials, the number and breadth of our programs, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, competing technological and market developments, and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, effective commercialization, marketing activities and other arrangements. We may incur increasing negative cash flows and net losses for the foreseeable future. We may seek additional funding through public or private financing or through collaborative arrangements with strategic partners.
