ANTRIABIO, INC
SUPPLEMENTAL COMPANY INFORMATION DATED DECEMBER 15, 2016
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a biopharmaceutical company that develops novel, sustained release injectable therapies. We apply our proprietary formulation and manufacturing capabilities to known, well-characterized molecules to create differentiated, patent-protected therapies that have the potential to significantly improve existing standards of care.
Lead Product Candidate: AB101
Our lead product candidate (“AB101”), a microsphere formulation of PEGylated human recombinant insulin, is being developed as an extended acting basal insulin intended for once-weekly subcutaneous injection, for use alone and in combination with bolus prandial insulin or oral glucose lowering therapies, to improve glycemic control in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. We believe that AB101 has the potential to provide a near peak-less, slow and uniform release of basal insulin. The current standard of care in the $11 billion basal insulin market is daily or twice a day injections.
AB101 Formulation
To formulate AB101 we use PEGylation chemistry to attach a low molecular weight (5000 Daltons) polyethylene glycol (“PEG”) to the phenylalanine amino acid residue on the N-terminus of insulin’s B peptide chain to create PEGylated insulin (“peginsulin”). By attaching a PEG in this fashion, human insulin becomes amphiphilic and can be uniformly co-dissolved in a solvent with a biodegradable polymer (“PLGA”). Following the dissolution of peginsulin and PLGA, the solvent is removed through an emulsification process and when dried, uniform microspheres are formed in a solid state solution. Prior to administration, the microspheres are reconstituted in an aqueous solution and when injected, the microspheres dissolve through hydrolysis, releasing insulin at a slow, steady and predictable rate over the course of a week.
AB101 Preclinical Studies and Clinical Plans
In 2015, as a precursor to our US clinical studies and in order to fulfill requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in support of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) filing, we conducted pre-clinical studies, including acute and sub-acute toxicity studies in two species, safety pharmacology, and mutagenicity/genotoxicity studies.
The intended clinical development plan for AB101 is consistent with the FDA’s Guidance for Industry, Diabetes Mellitus: Developing Drugs and Therapeutic Biologics for Treatment and Prevention, and will be generally modeled after recent development programs for long-acting basal insulin products. Variations will be introduced to account for the specific characteristics of AB101, as applicable. The overall goal of the program will be to demonstrate efficacy and safety of once-weekly AB101 compared to currently available basal insulins.
The single ascending dose study in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus will be followed by repeat dose pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamics studies. Euglycemic clamping will be utilized to evaluate the time-action profile for glucose lowering following repeated once-weekly doses of AB101, and to determine steady-state.
In addition, the Company plans to conduct a Phase 2 program to assess and confirm the intended dosing profile, specifically of the once weekly dosing frequency, and for dose-ranging. The Phase 3 registration program will comprise multiple studies to compare efficacy and safety to currently available basal insulins, in various combinations with bolus insulin and/or oral glucose lowering agents. It will be of adequate size to meet recommended guidance for assessing chronic safety when used for Diabetes Mellitus.
Next Product Candidate: AB301
In September 2015, we announced the addition of AB301 to our product development pipeline. As a potential treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes, AB301 is a once-weekly injectable combination of a PEGylated human glucagon-like peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) agonist and AB101, our basal insulin lead product candidate. We believe that there is a potential advantage of combining a GLP-1 agonist with basal insulin to complement glycemic control while attenuating weight gain and hypoglycemic risk. As a once-weekly injectable therapy, AB301 would be differentiated from potential competing combination therapies that require daily injections. In vitro and in vivo studies completed to date indicate that AB301 has the potential to be a well-tolerated, effective therapy for type 2 diabetes and we are engaged in ongoing preclinical studies of AB301. Prior to initiating any IND-enabling studies for AB301, we are monitoring the FDA’s actions with respect to its evaluation around potential competing combination therapies.
Competition
We face competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and private research organizations in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants and in the development and acquisition of technologies.
If successfully commercialized, AB101 would compete directly against Sanofi’s Lantus and Toujeo, Novo Nordisk’s Levemir and Tresiba, Eli Lilly’s Basaglar as well as any other branded or biosimilar basal insulin therapies that obtain regulatory approval in advance of AB101.
Sanofi’s iGlarLixi and Novo Nordisk’s IDegLiraare daily injectable GLP-1 agonist and basal insulin combination therapies that are currently under regulatory review by the FDA. IDegLira was approved for commercial use in the European Union under the trade name Xultophy in September 2014. Adocia recently announced plans to develop BioChaperone Glargine Dulaglutide and BioChaperone Liraglutide, which are GLP-1 agonist and basal insulin combination therapies consisting of insulin glargine (Lantus®) and either Eli Lilly’s Trulicty (dulaglutide) or Novo Nordisk’s Victoza (liraglutide). If we successfully develop and commercialize AB301, it would compete directly against iGlarLixi, IDegLira, BioChaperone Glargine Dulaglutide, BioChaperone Liraglutide and any other GLP-1 agonist and basal insulin combination therapies that obtain regulatory approval. Sanofi and Novo Nordisk are large pharmaceutical companies with substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources than AntriaBio. Further, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are very competitive and are characterized by rapid and continuous technological innovation.
We believe there are a number of additional therapies in preclinical and clinical development to treat diabetes that may result in effective, commercially successful treatments, including drugs that may be in development by Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and other organizations. Each of these therapies and others may compete with AB101 and AB301.
Intellectual Property
As an innovator in the development of extended release drug therapies, we are executing a patent strategy to protect technologies and inventions that are essential to our business. As part of this strategy, we will continue to build on our existing patent portfolio by filing patent applications for additional product candidates, and novel technologies, through ongoing research and development. Our patent strategy also involves relying upon trade secrets and know-how – particularly in formulation and manufacturing – in order to develop and maintain our competitive position.
One of our patents involves a single-step method for rapidly and efficiently preparing conjugates of insulin and its analogs with hydrophilic polymers, such as PEG. This method includes reacting a protein and a hydrophilic polymer in the presence of at least one organic solvent and at least one metal chelator, under near-neutral conditions. More specifically, this invention is directed to the site-specific modification of the proteins with PEG. It also provides a pharmaceutical formulation for the uniform mixture of the protein-PEG conjugate in a biodegradable polymer. This patent, which expires in April 2024, is issued in the US, Australia, India, Japan and Europe, and is pending in Canada, Brazil, China and Hong Kong.
As it relates to this invention, our lead product candidate, AB101, is comprised of a PEG molecule linked to human recombinant insulin specifically at the phenylalanine amino acid at position B1. We formulate a biodegradable microsphere that is a homogenous solid solution of PLGA and the insulin-PEG conjugate is formulated. We plan to apply this method of preparing protein-polymer conjugates, and formulating them with biodegradable polymers to future product candidates as well.
As part of our strategy to enhance our patent portfolio, in July 2014, we filed a nonprovisional patent application covering novel methods and systems used to create biodegradable microparticles with superior syringeability, injectability, flowability, and uniformity. This patent is issued in the US and is pending in other jurisdictions, which expires in 2034. The methods claimed in the patent are directed towards the microsphere manufacturing technology platform that is broadly applicable to current and future products under development.
Additionally, we filed a provisional patent application in December 2014 around novel compositions and systems used to create formulations for sustained release products that are used by themselves or in combination with other molecules. Further, we filed a provisional patent application in June 2015 around improved methods for site-specific amine pegylation.
We plan on filing additional patent applications over time that are directed towards both technology enhancements and product candidates.
Government Regulation
Regulation by governmental authorities in the US and other countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. All of our potential products will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, pharmaceutical therapies are subject to rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and other pre-market approval requirements by the FDA and regulatory authorities in foreign countries. Various federal, state and foreign statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of such products.
We are also subject to various federal, state, and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions; laboratory and manufacturing practices; the experimental use of animals; and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research, development and manufacturing.
Research and Development
We incurred approximately $9,448,000 and $4,701,000 in research and development expenses for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Employees
As of June 30, 2016, we had thirty full-time employees as well as four contract employees, all of whom have experience with pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical product companies. None of our employees or contractors are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Corporate Information
In March 2010, an entity was incorporated in Delaware (“Antria Acquisition Corp.”) with the express purpose of acquiring the assets of PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation that prior to declaring bankruptcy in 2008, developed proprietary technology to be used with active pharmaceutical ingredients to create sustained release injectable formulations, including what is now known as AB101.
On July 26, 2010, the Company was incorporated in Nevada under the name “Fits My Style Inc.” and had no revenue and or operations other than capital formation and the development of a business plan related to the creation of a retail related mobile application.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
On May 9, 2016 we entered into a consulting agreement with an investor relations firm. As part of the compensation for our investor relations firm, we agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock as part of the agreement in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The warrants contain a cashless exercise rights, and shall be adjusted both as to the number of Financing Warrant Shares and price into which and at which they are exercisable, based on any splits, conversions, or reorganizations that affect the Company’s common stock.
On April 29, 2016, we completed a close of a private placement transaction with accredited investors in which we issued either Class A Units or Class B Units. Each Class A Unit is priced at $1.10 and consists of one share of our common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. If the Investor had previously invested in one of the Company’s previous private placement transactions and also invested a minimum of $50,000 in this private placement transaction, then the investor would receive Class B Units. Each Class B Unit is priced at $1.10 and consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. We issued an aggregate of 161,679 units and received gross cash proceeds of $178 thousand, excluding placement agent compensation, transaction costs, fees and expenses. We relied on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
As part of the Placement Agent Agreement dated April 11, 2016, we agreed to modify existing warrants at the time of a financial close on the private placement transaction in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. On June 24, 2016, we completed the close and modified existing warrants in which we re-issued warrants to purchase 327,046 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.32 per share.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 28 2016. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Summary
Since inception, we have raised $38.3 million, which has enabled us to advance our microsphere platform, including completing preclinical studies for our lead product candidate, AB101, a potential once-weekly injectable basal insulin for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We continue to believe that AB101’s unique human insulin based formulation has the potential to significantly disrupt the annual $11 billion basal insulin market that is dominated by daily injections of insulin analogs. Our primary objective is to manufacture clinical material in our Louisville, Colorado facility and to commence a clinical study at a contract research organization in Southern California. In order to achieve this objective, we will need to demonstrate that the formulation meets the intended specification at clinical scale, certify the sterility of our manufacturing process and raise additional capital.
Capital Requirements
Given our ongoing financial needs as well as our desired strategy to advance AB101 while scaling the business to include additional product candidates, we have reached a point in our evolution where we believe we need to raise capital in a different manner by conducting a relatively large institutionally focused round before the end of calendar year 2016. Fortunately, we have received a great deal of interest from the Korean investment community including large, sophisticated healthcare funds.
Concurrent with our planned capital raise in the 4th quarter of calendar year 2016, we will establish a subsidiary in Seoul which will be led by our Founder and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Hoyoung Huh. We plan to expand our core capabilities by tapping into the scientific prowess and know how that exists in Korea. In addition, we may also seek to in-license or acquire technologies and/or product candidates that complement our existing pipeline.
AB101 Update
In accordance with the initial feedback that we received from the FDA in 2015, as a precursor to filing an IND and starting a clinical study, we conducted a six-month stability study of the drug substance (PEGylated insulin) used in AB101, which was satisfactorily completed in June 2016. We also met face-to-face with the FDA in the 2nd quarter of calendar year 2016 in a pre-IND meeting to discuss our Phase 1 clinical study design. Notably, given the complexity of microsphere products, the agency advised us to ensure that our manufacturing process was robust before filing our IND and commencing a clinical study.
We have constructed a $3.2 million GMP sterile manufacturing suite in our Louisville, Colorado facility to produce AB101 material suitable for injection into patients. Based on the guidance received from the FDA and introduction of a senior manufacturing leader to the Louisville site, in calendar year 2016 we have been methodically engineering, testing and certifying the processes to be used in clinical manufacturing, to include the sterility assurance of the process and product as mandated by the FDA. In the 3rd quarter of calendar year 2016 we have successfully demonstrated our process by manufacturing sample batches of AB101 material at clinical scale. This has been a significant and complex scientific and engineering undertaking, as prior to this calendar year we had only manufactured AB101 in small non-sterile batches in our laboratories for use in animal studies and for analytical purposes. Furthermore, as part of our testing process we have needed to make adjustments to certain equipment, including further customization in specific instances. This combined endeavor, coupled with delays that we have experienced in receiving specialized parts and equipment from third party suppliers, has contributed to extending the timeline that we established in calendar year 2015 to commence clinical studies.
We have made significant progress in demonstrating that we can manufacture AB101 at clinical scale, but we still must demonstrate that our manufacturing process can be conducted in a sterile fashion prior to making AB101 material for the clinical study, a fundamental and mandated exercise to ensure patient safety in the clinic. Qualifying the sterility of a manufacturing process and environment is generally complex and particularly so when manufacturing microsphere products as AB101 cannot be sterile filtered as is common with most injectable products. Based on our current timeline, which includes a capital raise to be completed prior to the end of calendar year 2016, we are planning to have our facility fully qualified to enable the manufacture of clinical material by the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2017. Following the financing and manufacturing campaign, we will plan to file an IND with the FDA and commence the clinical study in the first half of calendar year 2017.
Naked Short Selling
Our stock price has been under downward pressure for over a year. Following some investigation and with the assistance of outside advisors, we believe we are the target of naked short selling. Naked short selling is when traders sell short shares they do not possess and have not confirmed their ability to possess. This means they are betting the price of the shares will go down and they do not intend to consummate the transaction, but instead intend to settle the transaction in cash.
Naked short selling, a practice that is prohibited by the SEC's Regulation SHO, damages the value of companies by artificially pushing a company’s stock price down. In fact, the lower the price, the better. Upon tracking our trading activity, we have determined that approximately 44% of our daily trading volume is short selling and we believe that short sellers have been lax in complying with Regulation SHO. We will continue working with outside advisors to address this problem.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful lives of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, income tax valuation allowances and the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements.
Patents
Costs of establishing patents consisting of legal fees paid to third parties and related costs are currently expensed as incurred. We will continue this practice unless we can demonstrate that such costs add economic value to our business, in which case we will capitalize such costs as part of intangible assets. The primary consideration in making this determination is whether or not we can demonstrate that such costs have, in fact, increased the economic value of our intellectual property. The $68,000 value of the patents acquired in connection with the asset acquisition from PRP is being amortized over the remaining patent lives of approximately eight years.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs consist primarily of expenses for personnel engaged in the design and development of product candidates, the scientific research necessary to produce commercially viable applications of our proprietary drugs, early stage clinical testing of product candidates, and development equipment and supplies, facilities costs and other related overhead.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. We determine the estimated grant date fair value of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize compensation costs ratably over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Common stock issued in exchange for services is recorded at fair value of the common stock at the date which we became obligated to issue the shares. The value of the shares is expensed over the requisite service period.
Derivatives
We account for our liability warrants by recording the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. The fair value of the warrants is calculated using either the Black-Scholes pricing model or the Lattice Model. We recorded the derivative expense at the inception of each instrument reflecting the difference between the fair value and the cash received. Changes in the fair value in subsequent periods were recorded to derivative gains or losses for the period.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. We establish a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets for which there is uncertainty regarding realization.
Results of Operations
The Company recorded net losses of $14,935,542 and $11,362,364 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Revenues - We are a preclinical stage company and have not yet generated any revenues.
Expenses – Research and development costs include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other costs. Research and development costs for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $9,448,388 and $4,701,209, respectively. The increase is due to the Company increasing the number of research and development employees. The Company has also seen a significant increase in the manufacturing costs as the Company completed preclinical studies in the current year and had increased the manufacturing costs as we are doing more development work to manufacture AB101.
General and administrative costs as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $5,502,902 and $5,996,673, respectively. The decrease is mainly due to the Company no longer using several consultants in 2016 that were used in 2015. The remaining expenses have remained fairly consistent between the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Factors impacting our Results Operations
We have not generated any revenues since our inception in March 2010. Since inception, we have engaged in organizational activities, conducted private placements which raised additional capital, built out the manufacturing suite, produced material for our lead product candidate under good laboratory practices (GLP), conducted studies using the GLP material, and conducted research and development on our pipeline product candidates.
Due to the time required to conduct clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we anticipate it will be some time before we generate substantial revenues, if ever. We expect to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future, therefore we are continuing to evaluate raising additional capital in the near future to maintain the current operating plan. We cannot assure you that we will secure such financing or that it will be adequate to execute our business strategy. Even if we obtain this financing, it may be costly and may require us to agree to covenants or other provisions that will favor new investors over our existing stockholders.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the year ended June 30, 2016, our operating activities used approximately $10.5 million in cash. The use of cash was $4.6 million lower than the net loss due to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, derivative expenses, amortization and depreciation as well as other non-cash activities. Net cash used in operating activities also included a $42,083 increase in other assets and cash provided by a $26,370 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $105,484 decrease in the deferred lease liability.
During the year ended June 30, 2015, our operating activities used approximately $7.1 million in cash. The use of cash was $3.9 million lower than the net loss due to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, derivative expenses, amortization and depreciation as well as other non-cash activities. Net cash provided by operating activities also included a $172,514 decrease in other assets and a $436,688 increase in accounts payable and accrued expense and cash used in operating activities of a $264,716 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2016 was $1,454,123. During the year, the Company purchased $2,091,790 of fixed assets for the facility, received $187,500 as a return of the security deposit on the lease of the facility and had a decrease in restricted cash of $450,167 as the construction project was completed and the restriction was released.
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2015 was $3,613,124. During the year, the Company purchased $3,107,957 of fixed assets for the facility, paid $55,000 for the acquisition of the contingent liabilities from the Estate of PRP and had an increase in restricted cash of $450,167 which is being restricted for the construction of the lab and manufacturing facilities.
Net Cash from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended June 30, 2016 was $10,725,928. During the year, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $6,347,615 and proceeds from an equity issuance of $5,362,521 and paid out issuance costs of $890,357. The Company also made lease payments of $93,851.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended June 30, 2015 was $10,036,190. During the year, the Company received proceeds from equity financings of $11,175,656 and paid out issuance costs of $1,071,568. The Company also made payments of $67,898 on the lease payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, we have approximately $4.1 million in cash on hand and working capital of approximately $2.8 million. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we closed on a Series A Preferred Stock Offering in which we issued Series A Preferred Stock. On June 24, 2016, with the consent of the Series A Stockholders all of the Series A Preferred Stock was converted to common stock and warrants. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we also closed on an equity transaction in which we issued units consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase either one-half or one share of common stock.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $11.7 million from the transactions above. While we do have cash on hand, we anticipate that we will need an additional $15 million to cover operating expenses, clinical trials of AB101 and continuing research and development of our product pipeline through the calendar year end 2017. We are currently evaluating raising additional capital to fund our current and future operations.
Going Concern
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations in our business. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing through private placements and/or bank financing or other means necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet transactions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016
General
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Summary
Since inception, we have raised over $40 million, which has enabled us to advance our microsphere platform, including completing preclinical studies for our lead product candidate, AB101, a potential once-weekly injectable basal insulin for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We continue to believe that AB101’s unique human insulin based formulation has the potential to significantly disrupt the annual $11 billion basal insulin market that is dominated by daily injections of insulin analogs. Our primary objective is to manufacture clinical material in our Louisville, Colorado facility and to commence a clinical study at a contract research organization in Southern California. In order to achieve this objective, we will need to demonstrate that the formulation meets the intended specification at clinical scale, certify the sterility of our manufacturing process and raise additional capital.
Capital Requirements
Given our ongoing financial needs as well as our desired strategy to advance AB101 while scaling the business to include additional product candidates, we have reached a point in our evolution where we believe we need to raise capital in a different manner by conducting a relatively large institutionally focused round before the end of calendar year 2016. Fortunately, we have received a great deal of interest from the Korean investment community including large, sophisticated healthcare funds. We are currently in the process of meeting with various groups to determine the level of interest by Korean investors and funds. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If Korean investments do not formalize then the Company will need to explore alternative financing options.
Concurrent with our planned capital raise in the 4th quarter of calendar year 2016, we are in the process of establishing a subsidiary in Seoul which will be led by our Founder and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Hoyoung Huh. We plan to expand our core capabilities by tapping into the scientific prowess and know how that exists in Korea. In addition, we may also seek to in-license or acquire technologies and/or product candidates that complement our existing pipeline.
AB101 Update
In accordance with the initial feedback that we received from the FDA in 2015, as a precursor to filing an IND and starting a clinical study, we conducted a six-month stability study of the drug substance (PEGylated insulin) used in AB101, which was satisfactorily completed in June 2016. We also met face-to-face with the FDA in the 2nd quarter of calendar year 2016 in a pre-IND meeting to discuss our Phase 1 clinical study design. Notably, given the complexity of microsphere products, the agency advised us to ensure that our manufacturing process was robust before filing our IND and commencing a clinical study.
We have constructed a $3.2 million GMP sterile manufacturing suite in our Louisville, Colorado facility to produce AB101 material suitable for injection into patients. Based on the guidance received from the FDA and introduction of a senior manufacturing leader to the Louisville site, in calendar year 2016 we have been methodically engineering, testing and certifying the processes to be used in clinical manufacturing, to include the sterility assurance of the process and product as mandated by the FDA. In the 3rd quarter of calendar year 2016 we have successfully demonstrated our process by manufacturing sample batches of AB101 material at clinical scale. This has been a significant and complex scientific and engineering undertaking, as prior to this calendar year we had only manufactured AB101 in small non-sterile batches in our laboratories for use in animal studies and for analytical purposes. Furthermore, as part of our testing process we made adjustments to certain equipment, including further customization in specific instances. This combined endeavor, coupled with delays that we have experienced in receiving specialized parts and equipment from third party suppliers, contributed to extending the timeline that we established in calendar year 2015 to commence clinical studies.
We have made significant progress in demonstrating that we can manufacture AB101 at clinical scale, and we are finalizing our sterility assurance campaign, which will demonstrate that our manufacturing process can be conducted in a sterile fashion prior to making AB101 material for the clinical study, a fundamental and mandated exercise to ensure patient safety in the clinic. Qualifying the sterility of a manufacturing process and environment is generally complex and particularly so when manufacturing microsphere products as AB101 cannot be sterile filtered as is common with most injectable products. Prior to the end of 1st quarter of calendar year 2017, we are planning to have completed a capital raise and have our facility fully qualified to enable the manufacture of clinical material. Following the financing and manufacturing campaign, we will plan to file an IND with the FDA and commence the clinical study in the first half of calendar year 2017.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the estimated useful lives and impairment of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, income tax valuation allowances and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
For Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015
Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 (the “2017 quarter”) and the three months ended September 30, 2015 (the “2016 quarter”) reflected losses of $3,815,867 and $3,287,950, respectively.
Revenues
We are a preclinical stage company and have not generated any revenues since inception.
Expenses
Research and development costs include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other costs. Research and development costs were approximately $2,486,000 in the 2017 quarter compared to $1,968,000 in the 2016 quarter. The main increase is due to the Company continuing to hire significant staff to manufacture clinical material during the 2017 quarter.
General and administrative costs were approximately $1,338,000 in the 2017 quarter compared to $1,331,000 in the 2016 quarter. The general and administrative costs have remained fairly consistent as most of these costs are fixed and remain fairly consistent from quarter to quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2016, we have approximately $3.4 million in cash on hand and working capital of approximately $2.2 million. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we closed on a Series A Preferred Stock Offering in which we issued Series A Preferred Stock. On June 24, 2016, with the consent of the Series A Stockholders all of the Series A Preferred Stock was converted to common stock and warrants. During the year ended June 30, 2016, we also closed on an equity transaction in which we issued units consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase either one-half or one share of common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we performed additional closes on the equity transaction from June 30, 2016.
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $14.7 million from the transactions above. While we do have cash on hand, we anticipate that we will need an additional $10 million to cover operating expenses, clinical trials of AB101 and continuing research and development of our product pipeline through the calendar year end 2017. We are currently evaluating raising additional capital to fund our current and future operations. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us.
Going Concern
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations in our business. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing through either private placements, and/or bank financing or other loans necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Antria Delaware agreed to pay Konus a monthly retainer in the amount of $9,000 per month to cover general and administrative matters plus an hour fee ranging from $100 to $700 per hour for additional services provided to Antria Delaware.

pH Pharma Collaboration Agreement
On February 29, 2016, we entered into a Strategic Collaboration and License Agreement (“Collaboration Agreement”) with pH Pharma Co., Ltd.(“PH”). Dr. Huh, and officer and Director of the Company is also the CEO of PH and a majority owner. Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company conditionally granted PH an exclusive, transferable, license under AB101 patents, patent applications and all other relevant Company intellectual property to manufacture and or offer for sale the Company’s lead product candidate, AB101, in Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam (the “License”).

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
We rely on our Board to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our Board reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our Board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our Board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our Board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company.
Director Independence
Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of the NASDAQ Stock Market to determine whether our current director or our new directors are independent. We have determined that as of the date of this Annual Report Barry Sherman and David Welch would qualify as “independent” in accordance with the published listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market and for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
· | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the Company; |
· | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); |
· | a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the Company; |
· | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
· | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or |
· | the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
