Cann said:

“For 2018 we have adjusted revenue to account for a $10 million upfront payment being carried on the balance sheet rather than being recognized as revenue this year; and we are fine-tuning estimated operating expenses and estimated shares outstanding. As a result, our estimated loss per share is being increased to $2.04 from our prior estimated loss of $1.81. Our estimated revenue and net income for 2019-22 is unchanged. Estimated loss per share is being increased by $0.01 per year in years 2019 and 2020 as a result of slightly reduced estimated shares outstanding.”
