CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All statements included or incorporated by reference in this report, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places, including, but not limited to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements represent our reasonable judgment of the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “project” and other words of similar meaning. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following:

 

projected operating or financial results, including anticipated cash flows used in operations;

 

expectations regarding capital expenditures, research and development expense and other payments;

 

our beliefs and assumptions relating to our liquidity position, including our ability to obtain additional financing;

 

our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our pharmaceutical drugs and diagnostics; and

 

our future dependence on third party manufacturers or strategic partners to manufacture any of our pharmaceutical drugs and diagnostics that receive regulatory approval, and our ability to identify strategic partners and enter into license, co-development, collaboration or similar arrangements.

 

Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, among others:

 

the loss of key management personnel or sponsored research partners on whom we depend;

 

the progress and results of clinical trials for our product candidates;

 

our ability to navigate the regulatory approval process in the U.S. and other countries, and our success in obtaining required regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

 

commercial developments for products that compete with our product candidates;

 

the actual and perceived effectiveness of our product candidates, and how those product candidates compare to competitive products;

 

the strength of our intellectual property protection, and our success in avoiding infringing the intellectual property rights of others;

 

adverse developments in our research and development activities;

 

potential liability if our product candidates cause illness, injury or death, or adverse publicity from any such events;

 

our ability to operate our business efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and obtain financing when required;

 

our expectations with respect to our acquisition activity.

 

In addition, there may be other factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements, some of which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 Nature of Operations

 

These financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio”), and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, AntriaBio Delaware, Inc. (“Antria Delaware”) and AntriaBio Korea (“Antria Korea”). AntriaBio, Antria Delaware, and Antria Korea are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”.

 

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.

 

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 28, 2016, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the year ended June 30, 2016.

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: estimated useful lives and impairment of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing and expected future operating losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company's operations may be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated with a preclinical stage company, including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.

 

  6  

 

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other costs. These costs relate to research and development costs without an allocation of general and administrative expenses.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

· Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
· Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
· Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible notes payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. We will be required to perform the going concern assessment under ASU 2014-15 beginning with the year ending June 30, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for us starting on July 1, 2018, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We will be required to adopt ASU 2016-02 starting on July 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this ASU starting on July 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $14,088,396 and net cash used in operations of $9,667,825 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, working capital of $2,829,405 and stockholders’ equity of $8,460,242 and an accumulated deficit of $58,133,226 at March 31, 2017.  In addition, the Company is in the preclinical stage and has not yet generated any revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company expects that its current cash resources as well as expected lack of operating cash flows will not be sufficient to sustain operations for a period greater than one year. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include continuing to raise capital through equity or debt based financings. There can be no assurances that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 Related Party Transactions

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred investor relations expenses of $33,878 and $90,803, and general and administrative expenses of $13,829 and $13,829, respectively, for services performed by a related party of the Company and included in the statement of operations. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, there were no related party transactions.

 

Note 6 Convertible Notes Payable

 

From 2010 to 2014, the Company issued several series of convertible promissory notes for which principal and interest were due between six months and two years after issuance. The convertible notes allowed investors to convert their shares into common stock at the time of certain qualifying events with some of the notes also issuing warrants at the time of conversion.

 

On March 31, 2014, the Company closed on an equity transaction which qualified as a “qualified financing” as such the $2,703,000 in 2013 Notes and the accrued interest was converted into 2,186,838 shares of our common stock. The Company also converted $4,275,172 of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Notes and accrued interest into 3,111,126 shares of our common stock. The remaining balance of any debt discounts on the notes converted was recorded into interest expense at the time of the conversion.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, one convertible note with a balance of $50,000 and accrued interest converted into 58,350 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the convertible notes outstanding balance was $10,000 and $60,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, all of the outstanding convertible notes have matured and payments were due. The convertible notes which have not been repaid or converted continue to accrue interest at a rate of 8%.

Note 7 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On December 7, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized fifteen million shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”). The Series A Stock had a conversion feature at the option of the holder that could be converted at any time at a conversion rate of $1.95, subject to adjustment, into common stock. The shares also had a mandatory conversion feature at the same conversion rate if one of the following events occurs: 1) Upon vote or consent of 2/3 of the then outstanding Series A Stock; 2) Upon the Company’s listing to NASDAQ Stockmarket or the NYSE MKT and the Company’s common stock trades for 30 days for at least 155% of the Series A Stock conversion price; or 3) the Company closes an underwritten public offering of at least $15 million in gross proceeds with an offering price of at least 155% of the Series A Stock conversion price. The Series A Stock’s conversion price was subject to weighted average anti-dilution protection, as defined, and was subject to adjustments for stock splits, dividends, and similar events. The Series A Stock was mandatorily redeemable ten years after the issuance date or upon a liquidation event, as defined, which included a change in control and therefore recorded before stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The Series A Stock was entitled to an annual dividend of 6% based on the original issuance price, compounded quarterly. The dividend was cumulative and was to be paid in shares of Series A Stock. The accrued dividends were payable upon redemption or conversion. The Series A Stock had voting rights equal to common stockholders as if the Series A Stock converted into common stock on the record date of the vote. The Series A Stock also had liquidation preferences over other stockholders.

 

On December 10, 2015, the Company closed an initial offering of its Series A Stock with an offering price of $1.95 per share. The Company issued 1,025,699 shares and received net proceeds of $1,803,548 after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $105,715 and a warrant with a fair value of $90,852 recorded as issuance costs. On March 2, 2016, the Company closed a second offering of its Series A Stock with an offering price of $1.95 per share. The Company issued 1,716,487 shares and received net proceeds of $2,956,975 after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $231,214 and a warrant with a fair value of $159,311 recorded as issuance costs. On April 12, 2016, the Company closed a final offering of its Series A Stock with an offering price of $1.95 per share. The Company issued 512,820 shares and received net proceeds of $1,000,000 as there were no placement agent compensation or issuance costs. The issuance costs were being accreted over the ten-year life of the Series A Stock of which $22,846 was accreted during the year ended June 30, 2016.

 

Through June 24, 2016, the Company declared and issued 71,708 shares of Series A Stock as dividends on the current outstanding shares of Series A Stock.

 

On June 24, 2016, the Company and the stockholders of the Series A Preferred Stock consented to convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. The conversion occurred at a conversion price of $1.95 per share. The Company then entered into an Exchange Agreement with each former Series A stockholder to exchange the Conversion Shares into shares of common stock and related warrants equal to the Series A Preferred Stock purchase price plus accrued dividends at an exchange rate of $1.10 per Exchange Share and related Exchange Warrant. The Company converted and cancelled 3,326,714 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and issued 5,897,677 Exchange Shares and Exchange Warrants. As the Series A stockholders received additional securities over what would have been received in the original conversion terms the transaction was considered an induced conversion. The Exchange Shares and Exchange Warrants received are recorded at the fair value on the date they were received. The excess of the fair value of the securities received over the fair value of the securities the stockholders would have received under the original terms on the date of conversion was $5,811,700 and was recorded as a deemed dividend as additional paid-in capital at the time of conversion. The Company then recorded a gain on the exchange of $2,929,084, which was also recorded into additional paid in capital. As a result of the conversion and exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer deemed outstanding, and all rights with respect to such stock ceased and terminated.

Note 9 Stock-Based Compensation

 

Options - AntriaBio adopted individual stock option plans in January 2013 for four officers and/or directors of the Company. The stock option plans granted 1,500,000 option shares with an exercise price of $4.50 per share and had fully vested as of June 30, 2016. In June 2013, AntriaBio adopted individual stock option plans for two consultants of the Company. The stock option plans granted 8,334 shares with an exercise price of $4.50 per share and had fully vested as of June 30, 2015.

 

On March 26, 2014, the Company adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2014 Stock and Incentive Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 3,750,000 of common stock in the form of stock options, incentive options or common stock. The Company had granted 3,295,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of June 30, 2016. The options have an exercise price from $1.29 to $3.44 per share. The options vest monthly over four years, with some options subject to a one year cliff before options begin to vest monthly.

 

On February 23, 2015, the Company adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2015 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 6,850,000 of common stock in the form of stock options. The Company had granted 4,397,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of June 30, 2016 and granted an additional 90,000 of these shares to current employees as of December 31, 2016. The options have an exercise price of from $1.00 to $2.06 per share. The options vest monthly over 4 years with some options subject to a one year cliff before options begin to vest monthly.

 

On October 31, 2016, the Company adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 35,000,000 of common stock in the form of stock options. The Company had granted 28,545,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company, of which 4,360,000 of the granted shares were never issued as the Board determined to cancel the options as of March 31, 2017. The options have an exercise price between $1.00 and $1.20 per share. The options vest monthly over 4 years, except for 12,190,000 of the options which do not begin to vest until specific events have occurred and then begin to vest monthly over 4 years.

 

AntriaBio has computed the fair value of all options granted that have begun vesting using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The options that require specific events before they begin to vest are not valued until the specific event has occurred. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to valuation. AntriaBio estimated a volatility factor utilizing comparable published volatility of several peer companies. Due to the small number of option holders and all options being to officers and/or directors, AntriaBio has estimated a forfeiture rate of zero as the value of each option holder is calculated individually. AntriaBio estimates the expected term based on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity.

Risk free interest rate     1.69% -1.91 %
Expected term (years)     7  
Dividend yield     0 %

The warrants exercisable for 536,150 shares of common stock were accounted for under equity treatment and were fair valued as of the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was valued at $516,550 and recorded as additional paid-in-capital and as issuance costs. The warrants exercisable for the 250,000 shares of common stock are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are fair valued monthly at the date that the warrants vest. As of March 31, 2017, warrants to purchase no shares of common stock had vested and nothing had been recorded into equity.

 

These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of issuance. In order to calculate the fair value of the warrants, certain assumptions were made regarding components of the model, including the closing price of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield, and warrant term. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to valuation. AntriaBio estimated a volatility factor utilizing comparable published volatilities of several peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity.

The Black-Scholes valuation methodology was used because that model embodies all of the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumptions for the warrants issued for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:

 

Expected volatility     24% - 111 %
Risk free interest rate     0.45% - 1.56 %
Warrant term (years)      0 - 7  
Dividend yield     0 %

 

Significant assumptions for the warrants issued for the year ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:

 

Expected volatility     87 - 151 %
Risk free interest rate     0.45% - 2.03 %
Warrant term (years)      1 - 7.5  
Dividend yield     0 %

 

Note 10 Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

 

In the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not record any income tax provision due to expected future losses and full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

 

Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Commitments – In May 2014, the Company entered into a lease of approximately 27,000 square feet of office, laboratory and clean room space to be leased for seventy-two months. The lease requires monthly payments of $28,939 adjusted annually by approximately 3% plus triple net expenses monthly of $34,381 adjusted annually. The Company also made a security deposit of $750,000 which is held by the landlord, of which $375,000 has been returned to the Company and the remaining balance will be returned gradually over the next several years.

 

On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a lease of approximately 20,000 square feet of office space to be leased for eighty-two months. The lease requires monthly payments of $28,425 adjusted annually plus triple net expenses monthly of $28,410 adjusted annually. The Company also made a security deposit of $56,851 which will be returned at the end of the lease.

 

On March 17, 2017, the Company sub-leased their original approximately 10,000 square feet of office space to another company. The sublease is for eighty-two months unless the Company is unable to extend its current lease then the sub-lease will expire on March 31, 2020. The Company is to receive monthly payments of $12,828 adjusted annually plus triple net expenses monthly of $12,828 adjusted annually. The Company also received a security deposit of $25,046 which will be returned at the end of the lease.

 

  15  

 

 

As of March 31, 2017, the minimum rental commitment under the leases are as follows:

 

    Operating Leases     Sub-lease Income     Total  
Year Ending June 30,                        
2017   $ 170,673     $ (37,570 )   $ 133,103  
2018     691,422       (152,005 )     539,417  
2019     712,360       (157,187 )     555,173  
2020     664,696       (148,551 )     516,145  
2021     338,392       -       338,392  
Thereafter     917,200       -       917,200  
    $ 2,239,151     $ (495,313 )   $ 1,743,838  

 

Legal Matters - From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2017, a party initiated a lawsuit against the Company, directors and officers of the Company for a shareholder demand related to corporate governance and employee stock option plans.  A settlement has been reached which is pending approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and does not have a material effect on the results of operations other than disclosed in Note 9. There are no other proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

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

 

Our primary near-term corporate objective is to commence the first-in-human Phase 1 clinical study (the “Study”) of our lead product candidate, AB101, a potential once-weekly injectable basal insulin for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The Study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacology of sequential, single doses of AB101 in patients with diabetes, including a comparison to Glargine insulin. In preparation for the Study, in the first and second quarters of calendar year 2017, we successfully manufactured and filled vials of AB101 in our facilities in Louisville, Colorado. In addition, we have engaged a contract research organization, Prosciento (formerly known as the Profil Institute for Clinical Research), to begin start-up activities for the Study. We plan to file an IND for AB101 with the FDA in June 2017 and subsequently initiate the Study with the target of receiving interim data prior to the end of calendar year 2017.

 

We are also focused on securing sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations. In that regard, as part of our current fundraising efforts, we have raised approximately $6.7 million in calendar year 2017 from individual investors in the US and Asia as well as pharmaceutical companies in the Republic of Korea. The Company is targeting a total raise of at least $15 million, which will allow us to sustain operations through the end of calendar year 2017 and into the first half of calendar year 2018. In addition to funding the AB101 clinical study, the incremental funding will allow us to advance our pipeline and cover general and administrative expenses. We continue to meet with various potential investors in the US and the Republic of Korea and are planning to conduct subsequent closings of the financing on the same terms. Nonetheless, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its efforts. Further, if the Company is unsuccessful in attracting additional capital, the lack of funding will materially and adversely impact the Company’s business and prospects.

 

The Company has also been actively conducting animal studies to screen potential new product candidates as we seek to evolve our drug pipeline. Prior to the end of calendar year 2017, the Company expects to achieve proof of concept in animals for at least one potential pipeline drug candidate which will support advancing that candidate into IND enabling studies in 2018.

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 and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (the “2017 quarter”) and the three months ended March 31, 2016 (the “2016 quarter”) reflected losses of approximately $5,385,000 and $3,711,000, respectively.

 

Results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 (the “2017 period”) and the nine months ended March 31, 2016 (the “2016 period”) reflected losses of approximately $14,088,000 and $11,065,000, 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 $3,439,000 in the 2017 quarter compared to $2,310,000 in the 2016 quarter. Research and development costs were approximately $9,000,000 in the 2017 period compared to $6,802,000 in the 2016 period. The main increases are due to the Company continuing to hire staff to manufacture clinical material during the 2017 period as well as paying the start up costs in the 2017 period for the first clincial trial.

 

General and administrative costs were approximately $1,951,000 in the 2017 quarter compared to $1,405,000 in the 2016 quarter. General and administrative costs were approximately $5,103,000 in the 2017 period compared to $4,278,000 in the 2016 period. The main increase is due to an increase in professional fees in the 2017 period for increased legal fees and costs of apply for new patents.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2017, we have approximately $4.4 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. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we performed additional closes on the equity transaction from June 30, 2016. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we also closed on an equity transaction in which we issued common stock to investors.

 

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $21.0 million from the transactions above over the last two years. 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.

 

  18  

 

 

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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q regarding the impact of certain accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had no off-balance sheet transactions.

 

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Accounting Officer (our principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation and the material weakness described below, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017 in ensuring that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that it is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has identified control deficiencies regarding a lack of segregation of duties, a need for a stronger internal control environment, and minimal review of complex accounting issues. Our management believes that these deficiencies, which in the aggregate constitute a material weakness, are due to the small size of our staff, which makes it challenging to maintain adequate disclosure controls.

 

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

 

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

On March 31, 2017, Alpha Venture Capital Partners, L.P., a  stockholder, filed a derivative complaint against all of the then current members of our board of directors and certain executive officers, as defendants, and the Company, as nominal defendant, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”). Through the complaint, the plaintiff asserted, on behalf of the Company, actions for breach of fiduciary duties in connection with prior determinations of our board of directors relating to options granted under the Company’s 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and certain corporate governance deficiencies.  The plaintiff sought relief including disgorgement of stock options issued under the 2016 Plan, reformation of the 2016 Plan to reduce the number of options issuable under the 2016 Plan, certain corporate governance changes, an award of unspecified damages and an award for attorneys’ fees and other costs.

 

On May 2, 2017, the parties to the litigation agreed to a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) regarding the litigation and will be submitting the terms of the settlement to the Chancery Court for its approval. Subject to the Chancery Court’s approval, we agreed to among other things (i) cancel certain options granted to certain members of the board of directors and our executive officers, (ii) reduce the number of options issuable under the 2016 plan, (iii) include an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws at the Company’s next annual meeting and (iv) implement certain corporate governance changes. The proposed settlement is conditioned upon, among other things, approval by the Chancery Court. We believe the claims asserted in the action are without merit but we have entered into the settlement to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation. There can be no assurance that the Chancery Court will approve the settlement in all respects and if the Chancery Court does not approve the proposed settlement, the proposed settlement could become void.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Certain factors exist which may affect the Company’s business and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. The Company has not experienced any material changes from those risk factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”) or in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2016.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

 

Stock Option Cancellations

 

On May 12, 2017, in connection with the Settlement, certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors entered into option cancellation agreements whereby such executive officers and directors agreed to cancel an aggregate 11,090,000 options from the Company’s 2016 Plan, of which 9,540,000 stock options were subject to contingent events that had not occurred and therefore no vesting had occurred on these stock options. In addition, certain executive officers entered into option cancellation agreements to cancel 1,166,667 options issued by the Company to them in 2013. The form of stock option cancellation agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Amended Stock Option Agreements

 

On May 12, 2017, two executives entered into amended and restated stock option agreements related to their stock option agreements dated December 28, 2016. One executive’s amendment reduced his option from 4,000,000 to 3,500,000, while the other executive’s amendment reduced his options from 5,000,000 to 2,000,000. For the 2,000,000 stock options, 1,000,000 are subject to monthly vesting over the next 48 months and the other 1,000,000 stock options are subject to the filing of an IND with the FDA before the options begin to vest.

 

The foregoing description of the Form of Cancellation Agreements, is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the form which is attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 10-Q.
