ATOSSA GENETICS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Atossa Genetics Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 30, 2009 in the State of Delaware. The Company was formed to develop and market medical devices, laboratory tests and therapeutics to address breast health conditions. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The Company is focused on development of its pharmaceutical and drug delivery programs.

  

 

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $11.3 million and used approximately $4.7 million of cash in operating activities. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $17.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $17.4 million. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and is currently expending funds in research and development activities that are expected to continue to require funding. Management believes the currently available funding will be sufficient to finance the Company’s operations for at least one year from the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will likely require additional funding to continue its activities beyond that date. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned commercial activities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

  

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Lease Accounting Topic 842: ("Topic 842") and recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet $101,000 of lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for operating leases. The new lease standard requires a lessee to measure its operating lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments with a discounted cash flow model using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the implicit interest rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee must use its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). If the lessee does not have an IBR, the lessee must use a rate that approximates the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The implicit interest rate was readily determinable for our copier lease; however, we used an IBR to measure our adoption date operating lease liability related to our office space which rate represents our estimated borrowing rate on a secured loan collateralized by similar assets for a similar term. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. As permitted under the standard, we elected prospective application of the new guidance and prior periods continue to be presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 840. Refer to our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for disclosures required by Topic 840. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the practical expedients to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification under the new standard, to not reassess lease classification, to not separate lease and non lease components and to not reassess initial direct costs. We did not elect the practical expedient allowing the use-of-hindsight which would require us to reassess the lease term of its leases based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date and did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as this is not applicable to our current contract portfolio. See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our leases and the amounts recognized in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-08, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. This ASU affects not-for-profit entities and business entities that receive or make contributions of cash. The ASU clarifies and improves the scope and accounting guidance to assist entities in evaluating if those transactions should be accounted for as contributions under the scope of Topic 958 or as an exchange transaction subject to other guidance. The adoption did not have any impact on the financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: 

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of disclosures. The amendments remove, modify, and add certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Furthermore, an entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We do not expect this amendment to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX REBATE RECEIVABLE

 

On May 23, 2017, Atossa formed a wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia called Atossa Genetics AUS Pty Ltd. The purpose of this subsidiary is to perform research and development activities (“R&D”) including our Phase 1 and Phase 2 Endoxifen clinical trials. Australia offers an R&D cash rebate of $0.435 per dollar spent on qualified R&D activities incurred in the country. For the three and the six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company incurred qualified R&D expenses of approximately $387,000 and $467,000 respectively, and $529,000 and $616,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company recorded a rebate receivable of approximately $203,000 and $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and a corresponding credit to R&D expenses. At June 30, 2019, we had a total R&D rebate receivable of approximately $406,000 that includes approximately $203,000 receivable remaining from the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE 7: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company is authorized to issue a total of 185,000,000 shares of stock consisting of 175,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.18 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company has designated 750,000 shares of Series A junior participating preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, 4,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 25,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, through the filings of certificates of designation with the Delaware Secretary of State. No shares of Series A junior participating preferred stock and no shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2019.

 

2018 Subscription Rights Offering of Units Consisting of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

 

On May 30, 2018, the Company completed a rights offering pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 13,624 units consisting of an aggregate of 13,624 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock and 3,869,216 warrants, with each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.05 per share (the “2018 Warrants”), resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $12.3 million, after deducting expenses relating to the rights offering, including dealer-manager fees and expenses, and excluding any proceeds received upon exercise of any warrants.

 

Warrants

 

As of June 30, 2019, warrants to purchase a total of 1,070,028 shares of common stock were outstanding. The warrants have an exercise price of $4.05 and expire on May 30, 2022.

 

In March 2019, the Company received approximately $11.3 million from exercises of the 2018 Warrants. As a result of the warrant exercises, the Company cancelled approximately 2.8 million warrants and issued approximately 2.8 million shares of common stock. No warrants were exercised for the three months ended June 30, 2019. 

 

Conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, certain holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock exercised their conversion option and converted an aggregate of 26 and 1,703 shares of preferred stock, respectively, into 7,392 and 483,823 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock, based on the conversion ratio of approximately 284 shares of common stock for each share of Series B convertible preferred stock.

 

 

NOTE 8: NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

The Company accounts for and discloses net loss per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of common shares for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of potential future exercises of outstanding stock options and common stock warrants. Because the inclusion of potential common shares would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented they have been excluded from the calculation.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s calculation of net loss per common share:

NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

 

As a result of the Company’s cumulative losses, management has concluded that a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets is appropriate. No income tax liabilities existed as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, due to the Company’s continuing operating losses.

 

 

NOTE 10: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $16,423,000 and $10,052,000 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.

 

 

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Lease Commitments

 

As discussed in Note 3, we adopted the requirements of ASU No. 2016-02, Lease Accounting: Topic 842and all related amendments on January 1, 2019. Prior to January 1, 2019, we accounted for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. In accordance with Topic 842, we evaluate all contractual agreements at inception to determine if they contain a lease. We measure lease liabilities at present value of lease payments not yet paid, using a discounted cash flow model that requires the use of a discount rate, or incremental borrowing rate.

 

Our operating lease assets consist of an office lease and a copier system lease. Our office lease expires in August of 2020 and our copier system lease expires in October of 2021. None of our leases contain options to extend. Total operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $14,700 and $29,400 and variable lease payments of taxes and insurance were immaterial.  As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term was approximately 1.5 years and the weighted average discount rate of our operating leases was 12%.

 

 As of June 30, 2019, the future minimum lease payments are approximately $29,000, $44,000 and $12,000 for 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. These payments are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2019, net of approximately $11,500 of imputed interest. The cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $14,200 and $28,800, respectively.

 

Litigation and Contingencies

 

 We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We believe these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 12: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock Option and Incentive Plan

 

On September 28, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan the (“2010 Plan”) to provide for the grant of equity-based awards to employees, officers, non-employee directors and other key persons providing services to the Company. Awards of incentive options may be granted under the 2010 Plan until September 2020. No other awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan after the date that is 10 years from the date of stockholder approval. An aggregate of 5,556 shares were initially reserved for issuance in connection with awards granted under the 2010 Plan and on May 18, 2016, an additional 11,111 shares were reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan. On May 9, 2018, the stockholders approved an additional 125,000 shares for issuance under the 2010 Plan. On April 12, 2018, the stockholders approved an additional 500,000 shares for issuance under the 2010 Plan. On May 16, 2019 the stockholders approved an additional 3,600,000 shares.

The Company granted options to purchase 3,565,000 shares of common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 611,688 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. No options were exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. There are 271,430 shares available for grant under the 2010 Plan as of June 30, 2019.

 

Compensation costs associated with the Company’s stock options are recognized, based on the grant-date fair values of these options, over the requisite service period, or vesting period. Accordingly, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5,318,796 and $5,594,629 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $179,050 and $394,189 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 respectively, (excluding the liability options discussed below). Compensation cost is recognized in the following captions in the consolidated statements of operations.

    4,348,383     $ 3.43       9.54     $ 3,806,650  

 

At June 30, 2019, there were 1,471,974 unvested options outstanding and the related unrecognized total compensation cost associated with these options was approximately $3,148,286. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.15 years.

  

2018 Liability Options

 

On June 27, 2018, the Company granted 2,300,000 options to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and 700,000 to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (the "Liability Options"). Each option was exercisable for an equivalent number of shares of Company's common stock. The Liability Options were granted pursuant to an option award agreement and were granted outside the Company’s 2010 Plan; however, they were subject to the terms and conditions of the 2010 Plan. On January 13, 2019, the Liability Options were cancelled.

 

11

 

 

The Liability Options were exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.38 per share, which was the fair value on the date of grant. The options had an exercise period of ten years from their date of issuance. If at the time the options were exercised the Company could not deliver shares of common stock to the optionee including, for example, if there were insufficient shares available under the Plan at the time of exercise, then in lieu of the optionee paying the exercise price and the Company issuing shares of stock, the option would only be exercised on a cash “net basis” so that the Company would pay cash in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the common stock over the option exercise price. If there were not sufficient shares available under the Plan, the Company would have been obligated to settle these options in cash if they were exercised. Because these options contained provisions that would require the Company to settle the options in cash in an event outside the Company’s control, they were accounted for as liabilities.

 

The Liability Options were subject to vesting requirements. Twenty-five percent of the options were vested as of the grant date, 50% of the options would have vested quarterly over two years, and the remaining 25% would have vested upon achievement of certain milestones related to clinical trial progress. As of January 13, 2019, all of the Liability Options that vested upon achievement of clinical trial milestones were vested. On January 13, 2019, the Liability Options were cancelled and at the time of cancellation, there were 1,125,000 unvested Liability Options outstanding.

 

Compensation costs associated with the Liability Options were initially recognized, based on the grant-date fair values of these options, over the requisite or vesting period for time-based options or when it is probable the performance criteria were achieved for options that vest based on performance. Compensation cost was remeasured each period based on the market value of our underlying stock until award vesting or settlement.

  

At the time of cancellation, the fair value of Liability Options at January 13, 2019, was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model applying the following assumptions:

 

   

January 13,

Expected volatility

    121.0-123.0

As a result of the cancellation of these options in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recognized all remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these options of $1,741,919, which was included in the following captions in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2019: 

 

General and administrative

  $ 1,074,183  

Research and development

    667,736  

Total stock compensation expense

  $ 1,741,919  

 

Also on January 13, 2019, at the same time the Liability Options were cancelled, the Company awarded a new option to the CEO to purchase 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock and a new option to the CFO to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock (the “2019 Options”). The 2019 Options: (i) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of board of director approval which was $1.36 per share, (ii) do not contain a net cash exercise provision, (iii) are awarded pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2010 Plan as amended by the Board of Directors on January 13, 2019, to include shares issuable upon exercise of the 2019 Options and other changes to the 2010 Plan so that the 2019 Options do not conflict with the 2010 Plan (the “Amended Plan”), (iv) vest and are exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule related to the 2018 Liability Options; provided, however, that the 2019 Options are not exercisable unless and until the Company’s stockholders approve the Amended Plan to increase the authorized number of shares available for grant under the Plan and (vi) are subject to and conditioned upon the 2019 Option Agreements with the optionees and the employment agreements with the optionees.

 

The above actions were unanimously approved by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. The above actions were intended to eliminate the Company’s potential liability associated with the net cash exercise provision of the Liability Options, and to allow the stockholders of the Company the opportunity to vote on the Amended Plan, which includes shares issuable upon exercise of the 2019 Options. On May 16, 2019, the stockholders approved the Amended Plan and thereby approved the issuance of the 2019 Options.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

Awards offered under a plan that are subject to shareholder approval are not considered granted under GAAP until the approval is obtained, unless such approval is essentially a formality (or perfunctory). For example, if management and board members control sufficient votes to approve the plan, the vote may be considered perfunctory. As management and the Company’s Board of Directors do not control enough votes to approve the 2019 Options, the 2019 Options were not deemed granted under ASC 718. Cancellation of an award that is not accompanied by the concurrent grant are accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. Accordingly, any previously unrecognized compensation cost is recognized at the cancellation date. On January 13, 2019, as noted above, upon cancellation of the Liability Options the Company recognized $1,741,919 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2018 Liability Options. Additionally, the fair value of the stock-based compensation liability of $3,151,944 was reclassified to additional-paid in capital on the cancellation date. Shareholder approval was obtained on May 16, 2019, which was determined to be the grant date for the 2019 Options, and the Company remeasured and recorded the 2019 Options as a new grant under ASC 718 during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Company recorded $4,959,277 in the second quarter of 2019 for the 2019 Options granted to the executives.

NOTE 13: RESTATEMENT TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company corrected an inadvertent error in the calculation of the deemed dividend on Series B convertible preferred stock in the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 that were included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed on August 13, 2018 (the “Original Form 10-Q”). Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America required us to allocate the proceeds from the May 2018 financing to the warrants and preferred stock issued in the financing and to estimate and record any discount on the securities as a deemed dividend. In the financial statements included in the Original Form 10-Q, we did not properly allocate the proceeds to the warrants, and we did not properly record the deemed dividend related to the warrant discount as additional paid in capital to common stock. The Company incorrectly stated the deemed dividend for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as $4,782,100, rather than $11,479,308. As a result, the Company also incorrectly stated the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as $8,924,677 and $10,799,059, respectively, rather than $15,621,885 and $17,496,267, respectively. This also had the effect of incorrectly stating the basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as $2.90 and $3.77, respectively, rather than $5.08 and $6.11, respectively. The corrections resulted from the application of technical accounting rules and did not impact cash or operations.

Company Overview

 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel proprietary therapeutics and delivery methods for the treatment of breast cancer and other breast conditions. Our lead program is the development of Endoxifen, which is an active metabolite of tamoxifen, an FDA-approved drug to treat and prevent breast cancer. We are developing an oral and topical form of Endoxifen. Our Endoxifen is being developed to potentially treat a number of conditions, including: mammographic breast density (or, MBD); breast cancer in the “window of opportunity” between diagnosis of breast cancer and surgery; gynecomastia, which is male breast enlargement; and the recurrence of breast cancer in patients who cannot benefit from tamoxifen due to metabolism or other reasons, meaning that they are “refractory” to tamoxifen. We are also developing our patented intraductal delivery technology to potentially target the delivery of therapies, including fulvestrant, immunotherapies and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapies (CAR-T therapies), directly to the site of breast cancer.

 

In 2017, we successfully completed a Phase 1 placebo-controlled clinical study of our proprietary oral and topical formulations of Endoxifen in 48 healthy women, supporting the continued development of this drug. There were no clinically significant safety signals and no clinically significant adverse events, and both the oral and topical Endoxifen were well tolerated. In the topical arm of the study, low but measurable Endoxifen levels were detected in the blood in a dose-dependent fashion. In the oral arm of the study, participants exhibited dose-dependent Endoxifen levels that met or exceeded the published therapeutic level. The median time for patients in the study to reach the steady-state serum levels of Endoxifen while taking daily doses of oral Endoxifen was 7 days. Published literature indicates that it takes approximately 50-200 days for patients to reach steady-state Endoxifen levels from daily doses of oral tamoxifen.

 

In September 2018, we completed a Phase 1 placebo-controlled clinical study of our proprietary topical Endoxifen in 24 healthy men. All of our objectives of safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics were successfully met.

 

In December 2018, we began providing our oral Endoxifen to a pre-menopausal, estrogen-receptor positive (ER+), lacking CYP2D6 function, breast cancer patient under an FDA-approved "expanded access, single patient" program. The purpose of this therapeutic approach was to reduce activity of the cancer cells prior to surgery. The patient received daily doses of our oral Endoxifen for approximately three weeks prior to surgery. There were no safety or tolerability issues and her surgery was successfully completed. The cancer cell biological activity was reduced, based on the estrogen receptor activity of the tumor cells and a 50% reduction in Ki-67. The FDA has also approved use of our Endoxifen for this patient following her surgery, under the FDA expanded access IND program, the use of our proprietary oral Endoxifen is restricted solely to this patient.

 

In June 2019 we reported preliminary analysis from our Phase 2 study of proprietary 20mg daily topical Endoxifen to reduce MBD. The preliminary analysis showed significant and rapid reduction in MBD. Studies by others using tamoxifen have demonstrated that density reduction induced by tamoxifen is associated with a significant reduction in breast cancer incidence. In our Phase 2 study MBD was reduced by an average of 14.3 percent in the group applying 20mg daily topical Endoxifen, which was statistically significant (p = 0.02). In the lower dose group (10mg), MBD was reduced by an average of 9.0 percent. These results are based on MBD measurements at the time of enrollment in the study and again at the time dosing ended, which was a mean of 55 and 88 days for the 20mg and 10mg groups, respectively. Approximately 70 percent of participants receiving 20mg topical Endoxifen experienced a reduction in MBD, and of those, the mean reduction in MBD was 27 percent. There were no significant differences in systemic endocrine or vascular side effects (for example, hot flashes) in the placebo versus active groups. Systemic side effects were measured using a modified validated symptom questionnaire. The most commonly experienced side effect for both groups receiving active drug were skin rashes and local irritation. The results indicate a study with approximately 50-100 subjects per dosage group would be appropriate to demonstrate efficacy for regulatory approval purposes.

 

Based on the positive results from our topical Endoxifen Phase 2 study to reduce MBD, we are now planning a Phase 2 study of our oral Endoxifen to reduce MBD, which we plan to initiate as early as the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

A Phase 2 study of our proprietary oral Endoxifen continues to be conducted in Australia for patients in the window of opportunity between diagnosis of breast cancer and surgery.

 

We are currently conducting a Phase 2 study, using our intraductal technology to deliver fulvestrant directly to the site of the tumor via the breast ducts. Our program to use our intraductal technology to deliver CAR-T and other immunotherapies is in the pre-clinical phase.

 

In July 2019, we reported that we have begun the development of a proprietary modified release tablet form of our oral Endoxifen which we intend will be the form of the oral drug for future clinical development and commercialization.

 

 

Research and Development Phase

 

We are in the research and development phase and are not currently marketing any products or services. We do not anticipate generating revenue unless and until we develop and launch our pharmaceutical programs.

 

Commercial Lease Agreements 

 

On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into an operating lease to pay $3,660 monthly rent for a term of 22 months with WW 107 Spring Street LLC to lease office space at 107 Spring Street, Seattle, Washington.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.

 

Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting ASC Topic 842 are discussed in Note 11 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no other changes in our significant accounting policies and estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, from those set forth in “Note 3, Summary of Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and affect the more significant judgments and estimates that we use in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

We follow the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, including employee stock options. Stock compensation expense based on the grant date’s fair value was estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period with forfeitures recognized when they occur.

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions regarding the expected volatility of our stock options, the expected life of the options, an expectation regarding future dividends on our common stock, and estimation of an appropriate risk-free interest rate. Our expected common stock price volatility assumption is based upon the volatility of our stock price. The expected life assumption for plain vanilla stock option grants was based upon the simplified method provided for under ASC 718-10, which averages the contractual term of the options of ten years with the average vesting term of one to four years. The expected life assumption for options granted in the money or options with performance conditions was estimated based on historical exercises of options and warrants, expected employment dates, and corporate goals and strategies. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and presently have no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant was based upon prevailing short-term interest rates over the expected life of the options.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Revenue and Cost of Revenue: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we have no source of sustainable revenue and no associated cost of revenue. 

 

Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses were approximately $7,286,000 and $11,350,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, consisting of research and development (R&D) expenses of approximately $2,612,000 and $4,063,000 respectively, and general and administrative (G&A) expense of approximately $4,674,000 and $7,287,000, respectively. Total operating expenses were approximately $4,143,000 and $6,017,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, consisting of research and development expenses of approximately $1,468,000 and $1,939,000, respectively, and general and administrative expenses of approximately $2,675,000 and $4,078,000, respectively.  Total operating expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 increased approximately $3,143,000 or 76% and increased approximately $5,333,000 or 89%, respectively. 

    

Research and Development Expenses: R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, were approximately $2,612,000, an increase of approximately $1,144,000 or 78% from total R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $1,468,000. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, were approximately $4,063,000, an increase of approximately $2,124,000 or 110% from total R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $1,939,000. The increase in R&D expense is attributed to salaries, stock-based compensation, and clinical trial expenses associated with our Endoxifen program. Stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash charge, increased approximately $668,000 in the first quarter of 2019 resulting from the cancellation of the 2018 Liability Options. During the second quarter of 2019, stock-based compensation expense increased approximately $1.8 million due to the grant of options to the CEO that were 75% vested. There were no Liability Option cancellations in the comparable period of 2018. We expect our R&D expenses to increase throughout 2019 as we commence additional Phase 2 clinical studies of oral Endoxifen, the development and manufacturing of our tablet modified release form of oral Endoxifen, continue our clinical trial of Fulvestrant administered via our intraductal technology and continue the development of other indications and therapeutics, including CAR-T and immunotherapies administered via our intraductal technologies.

 

General and Administrative Expenses: G&A expenses were approximately $4,674,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $1,999,000, or 75% from the total G&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018, of approximately $2,675,000. G&A expenses were approximately $7,287,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $3,209,000, or 79% from the total G&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018, of approximately $4,078,000. G&A expenses consist primarily of personnel and related benefit costs, facilities, professional services, insurance, and public company related expenses. The increase in G&A expenses for the period ended June 30, 2019, is mainly attributed to an increase in stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash charge, due to the cancellation of the 2018 Liability Options of approximately $1,074,000 during the first quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, stock-based compensation expense increased approximately $3.1 million due to the grant of options to the CEO and CFO that were 75% vested. Additionally, payroll expenses have increased resulting from salary increases over the prior year.

   

Income taxes: We have incurred net operating losses from inception; we did not record an income tax benefit for our incurred losses for the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, due to uncertainty regarding utilization of our net operating carryforwards and due to our history of losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $11.3 million and used approximately $4.7 million of cash in operating activities. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $17.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $17.4 million. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and is currently expending funds in research and development activities that are expected to continue to require funding. Management believes the currently available funding will be sufficient to finance the Company’s operations for at least one year from the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will likely require additional funding to continue its activities beyond that date. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned commercial activities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  

Cash Flows

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $17.2 million.

 

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4,651,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $431,000, or 10%, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $4,220,000. The increase in the 2019 period as compared to 2018 resulted primarily from increased spending on R&D activities.

  

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $11,337,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which represents proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued in the May 2018 financing. In the second quarter of 2018, we completed a rights offering with net proceeds of $12.3 million. 

 

Funding Requirements

 

We expect to incur ongoing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our planned therapeutic programs including related clinical studies and other programs in the pipeline. We expect that our current available funding will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. If we meet certain requirements, we may sell securities that are registered on our Form S-3 registration statement, and by raising capital through sales of securities to third parties and existing stockholders. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, however, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations. Our future capital uses and requirements will depend on the time and expenses needed to begin and continue clinical trials for our new drug developments.

 

Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. For example, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or by selling debt securities, if convertible, further dilution to our existing stockholders would result. To the extent our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, collaboration agreements, debt financings or licensing arrangements.

 

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to terminate, significantly modify or delay our development programs, reduce our planned commercialization efforts, or obtain funds through collaborators that may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently. Further, we may elect to raise additional funds even before we need them if we believe the conditions for raising capital are favorable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Lease Accounting Topic 842: ("Topic 842") and recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet $101,000 of lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for operating leases. The new lease standard requires a lessee to measure its operating lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments with a discounted cash flow model using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the implicit interest rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee must use its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). If the lessee does not have an IBR, the lessee must use a rate that approximates the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The implicit interest rate was readily determinable for our copier lease; however, we used an IBR to measure our adoption date operating lease liability related to our office space which rate represents our estimated borrowing rate on a secured loan collateralized by similar assets for a similar term. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. As permitted under the standard, we elected prospective application of the new guidance and prior periods continue to be presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 840. Refer to our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for disclosures required by Topic 840. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the practical expedients to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification under the new standard, to not reassess lease classification, to not separate lease and non lease components and to not reassess initial direct costs. We did not elect the practical expedient allowing the use-of-hindsight which would require us to reassess the lease term of its leases based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date and did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as this is not applicable to our current contract portfolio. See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of our leases and the amounts recognized in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-08, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. This ASU affects not-for-profit entities and business entities that receive or make contributions of cash. The ASU clarifies and improves the scope and accounting guidance to assist entities in evaluating if those transactions should be accounted for as contributions under the scope of Topic 958 or as an exchange transaction subject to other guidance. The adoption did not have any impact on the financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: 

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of disclosures. The amendments remove, modify, and add certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Furthermore, an entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of the update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We do not expect this amendment to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we identified a material weakness in the internal controls over the calculation of the deemed dividend on Series B convertible preferred stock (the “deemed dividend”) for the three and six months June 30, 2018. Because of this error, an incorrect deemed dividend was included in net loss applicable to common stockholders which caused an incorrect calculation of loss per common share, basic and diluted. Management misinterpreted the technical guidance contained in ASC 470- Debt in calculating the deemed dividend. An appropriately detailed knowledge of ASC 470 -Debt was not present to prevent or detect this error. We incorrectly stated the amount of the deemed dividend as $4,782,100, rather than $11,479,308, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. We also incorrectly stated the loss per common share - basic and diluted, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as $(2.90) and $(3.77) respectively, rather than the correct amount of $(5.08) and $(6.11), respectively. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months period ended June 30, 3018 were restated to correct the error.

 

Management’s remediation plan is to enhance the procedures performed to independently review technical accounting memorandums for accuracy and completeness including when appropriate with an outside independent accounting firm in future periods.
