Major Upcoming Milestones
First Fiscal Quarter 2021 Financial Summary Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses increased by $19.9 million to $78.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $58.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses, which is partially driven by additional headcount to support drug discovery efforts using our computational discovery technology and targeted protein degradation platform, following the acquisition of Silicon Therapeutics in March 2021 and Oncopia Therapeutics, Inc. in November 2020. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses increased by $25.6 million to $82.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $57.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in professional and transaction fees, personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expense. Capital Resources As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.0 billion.
