1. Description of Business

XOMA Corporation (referred to as “XOMA” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a biotech royalty aggregator with a sizable portfolio of economic rights to future potential milestone and royalty payments associated with partnered pre-commercial therapeutic candidates. The Company’s portfolio was built through licensing its proprietary products and platforms from its legacy discovery and development business, combined with acquisitions of rights to future milestones and royalties that the Company has made since the royalty aggregator business model was implemented in 2017. The Company’s drug royalty aggregator business is focused on early to mid-stage clinical assets primarily in Phase 1 and 2 with blockbuster potential licensed to large-cap partners. The Company expects that most of its future revenue will be based on payments the Company may receive for milestones and royalties related to these programs.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had unrestricted and restricted cash of $84.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the current and non-current portion of restricted cash was $1.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The restricted cash balance may only be used to pay dividends on the 8.625% Series A cumulative, perpetual preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) issued in December 2020. Based on the Company’s current cash balance and its ability to control discretionary spending, such as royalty acquisitions, the Company has evaluated and concluded its financial condition is sufficient to fund its planned operations and commitments and contractual obligations for a period of at least one year following the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued.
