Perhaps I'm missing something.
Note any more. I found the report containing the audit information. Now if I could only grasp financial data the same way I read science journals.
From
FORM 10KSB/AQuote:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. (a development stage company), as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of expenses, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period from January 22, 2003 (Inception) through December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Opexa’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Opexa as of December 31, 2006 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods described in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
OK, so no flaky accounting like that which collapsed Enron.

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Opexa will continue as a going concern. Opexa requires significant amount of cash in its operations and does not have sufficient cash to fund its operations for the next twelve months, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 15. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
OK, so that doesn't sound too good. Here's "Note 15"...
Quote:
On November 2, 2007, Opexa filed it quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2007. As shown in its financial statements, Opexa has negative cash flows provided by its operating activities and has a cash balance of $5.8 million as of September 30, 2007 which is not sufficient to fund its operations for the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Opexa’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management will seek to raise additional capital through sales of convertible debt and/or equity. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Opexa is unable to continue as a going concern.
If they don't pull out of this I fear that they might be sitting ducks for a take over bid from one of the large pharmaceuticals. Does anyone happen to have a generous venture capitalist in their midst?
