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
December 31, 2015
(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 Nature of Operations

 

These financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio”), formerly known as Fits My Style, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AntriaBio Delaware, Inc. (“Antria Delaware”). AntriaBio and Antria Delaware 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, 2015, 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, 2015.

 

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 December 31, 2015 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 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  

 

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consisted of cash held in a joint account with our general contractor until the completion of the construction in progress. As the construction process was completed as of December 31, 2015, the restricted cash was released and used to pay the final invoices to the general contractor.

 

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, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible notes payable approximated fair value as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments.

 

The warrant derivative liability recorded as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 is recorded at an estimated fair value based on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrant derivative liability is a level 3 fair value measurement with the entire change in the balance recorded through earnings. See significant assumptions in Note 9. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Balance as of June 30, 2015   $ (31,777 )
Total unrealized gains (losses):        
Included in earnings     14,316  
Balance as of December 31, 2015   $ (17,461 )

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) , which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively but may also be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We expect to adopt the provisions of this new guidance 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 November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which is intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets by eliminating the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet.  Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.  The changes are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We expect to adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2016.   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.

 

Note 3 Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $7,353,847 and net cash used in operations of $4,798,290 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, and working capital deficit of $649,001 and stockholders’ equity of $3,777,897 with an accumulated deficit of $36,463,135 at December 31, 2015.  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 issuances of common and preferred stock.

 

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 4 Fixed Assets

 

The following is a summary of fixed assets and accumulated depreciation:

 

    Useful              
    Life     December 31, 2015     June 30, 2015  
Furniture and fixtures     5 - 7 years     $ 62,730     $ 55,330  
Lab equipment     3 - 15 years       2,994,428       889,671  
Lab equipment (not yet placed in service)     3 - 15 years       228,350       1,371,441  
Leasehold improvements     3 - 7 years       3,143,797       29,296  
Construction in process     -       -       2,315,803  
              6,429,305       4,661,541  
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization             (355,825 )     (136,629 )
            $ 6,073,480     $ 4,524,912  

 

The construction in process was completed as of November 30, 2015 and the balance was recorded into leasehold improvements at which time it began depreciating over the remaining life of the lease. Depreciation expense was $150,225 and $30,513 for the three months ended December, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was $220,537 and $57,908 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Note 5 Related Party Transactions

 

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, there were no related party transactions. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred consulting expenses of $33,000 and $66,000, respectively, for services performed by related parties of the Company and included in the statements of operations.

 

Note 6 Convertible Notes Payable

 

From 2010 to 2012, 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. 

 

During 2014, the Company sent letters to the holders of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 notes requesting amendment of their convertible notes payable. The convertible notes payable were amended to: (i) fix the conversion price of the notes into common stock at $1.50 per share, (ii) require mandatory conversion of principal and interest, and (iii) change the definition of a qualified financing to an equity financing of at least three million dollars. Note holders of $3,032,500 of the convertible notes payable balances outstanding have signed and returned the amendment letter. Based on the fixed conversion price, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of $653,000 was calculated and recorded as a discount to the notes payable. As of June 30, 2014, $653,000 of the debt discount has been amortized into interest expense as these all amortized as part of the conversion.

 

2013 Notes – In December 2013 and January 2014, the Company issued $2,703,000 of 8% convertible promissory notes payable for which principal and interest is due six months after the date of issuance. Pursuant to the note agreements, if the Company issues equity securities in a transaction resulting in gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000, the promissory note and accrued interest will automatically convert to common stock at a conversion price of $1.26 per share. The notes also allow the investor to convert at any time prior to maturity at $1.26 per share at their option. With the promissory note, the investor will also receive a warrant to purchase common stock equal to one-half of the principal amount of the promissory note. The warrant will have an exercise price of $1.89 per share and will be exercisable for three years from date of issuance.

 

  9  

 

 

The value of the proceeds of the notes was allocated to the warrants as discussed in Note 9 and the remaining balance was allocated to the beneficial conversion feature as the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the remaining value of the notes. The discount on the notes is being amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.

 

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.

 

As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the convertible notes outstanding balance was $60,000 and $60,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, 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 has a conversion feature at the option of the holder that can be converted at any time at a conversion rate of $1.95, subject to adjustment, into common stock. The shares also have 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 is subject to weighted average anti-dilution protection, as defined, and is subject to adjustments for stock splits, dividends, and similar events. The Series A Stock is mandatorily redeemable ten years after the issuance date or upon a liquidation event, as defined, which includes a change in control and therefore recorded before stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The Series A Stock is entitled to an annual dividend of 6% based on the original issuance price, compounded quarterly. The dividend is cumulative and will be paid in shares of Series A Stock. The accrued dividends are payable upon redemption or conversion. The Series A Stock has 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 has liquidation preferences over other shareholders. As of December 31, 2015, the liquidation preference was $1.95 per share.

 

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. The issuance costs are being accreted over the ten-year life of the Series A Stock.

 

Note 8 Shareholders’ Equity

 

On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a services agreement whereby the Company receives assistance with investor relations relating to digital strategy, website and investor materials, market awareness and other services. The compensation for these services will be 500,000 shares of common stock to be issued over a twelve-month period. For the year ended June 30, 2015, 166,668 shares of common stock have been issued under the agreement and $296,669 has been recorded as investor relations expense during the year ended June 30, 2015. On November 1, 2014 the agreement was terminated and no additional compensation was paid.

 

During 2015, the Company completed two private placement transactions in which the Company issued 6,040,921 units to accredited investors. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $2.50 per share and the warrant will expire 36 months following the issuance. The Company received net proceeds of $10.1 million after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $1,071,568 and $2,072,911 of warrant expense recorded as issuance costs. The Company also issued 37,838 shares of common stock for services in assisting in the private placement and $70,000 had been recorded in additional paid in capital as issuance costs.

The Company has not declared or paid any dividends or returned any capital to shareholders as of December 31, 2015.

 

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. Options to purchase 819,445 shares vested immediately, options to purchase 541,667 shares vest monthly over 3 years and 138,888 shares vest on May 31, 2013. 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. As of December 31, 2015, the Company granted 3,295,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company. 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. As of December 31, 2015, the Company granted 4,162,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company. The options have an exercise price of from $1.40 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.

 

AntriaBio has computed the fair value of all options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 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 a comparable published volatility of 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.

 

AntriaBio has computed the fair value of all options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2015 using the following assumptions:

 

Expected volatility     100%  
Risk free interest rate     1.91%  
Expected term (years)     7  
Dividend yield     0%  

 

  11  

 

 

Stock option activity is as follows:

 

          Weighted     Weighted Average  
    Number of     Average     Remaining  
    Options     Exercise Price     Expected Life  
Outstanding, June 30, 2014     4,343,334     $ 3.61       5.6  
Granted     4,572,000     $ 2.02          
Forfeited     (212,916 )   $ 3.57          
Outstanding, June 30, 2015     8,702,418     $ 2.78       7.1  
Granted     50,000     $ 1.40          
Forfeited     (35,000 )   $ 1.75          
Outstanding, December 31, 2015     8,717,418     $ 2.77       6.6  
                         
Exercisable at December 31, 2015     3,507,188     $ 3.40       4.9  

 

Stock-based compensation expense related to the fair value of stock options was included in the statement of operations as research and development – compensation and benefits expense of $312,630 and $619,967, respectively, and as general and administrative – compensation and benefits expense of $673,013 and $1,346,026, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at December 31, 2015 is $9,511,243. AntriaBio determined the fair value as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method and expenses the fair value ratably over the vesting period.

 

Warrants - AntriaBio issued warrants to agents in conjunction with the closing of various financings and issued warrants in note conversions and private placements as follows:

 

          Weighted     Weighted Average  
    Number of     Average     Remaining

The Company issued warrants to purchase 9,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.34 per share in connection with investor relations services. The Company issued warrants to the placement agent to purchase 64,105 shares of common stock at a price of $2.34 per share, exercisable through June 2023 in connection with the preferred stock offering that occurred in December 2015.

 

The warrants exercisable for the 66,667 shares of common stock are accounted for under liability accounting for the shares that have vested and were recorded at their fair value on the date of issuance of $50,365 as a liability and as professional fees and investor relation expense. Warrants for 30,000 shares of the common stock were cancelled as of December 31, 2015 as the vesting events for the warrants had not occurred. The fair value as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 were $17,461 and $31,777, respectively which is reflected as a liability with the fair value adjustment recorded as derivative gains or losses on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The warrants exercisable for the 4,968,482 shares of common stock were accounted for under equity treatment and were recorded at the allocated fair value as of the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of the warrants was $3,527,816 and the allocated fair value of $2,597,932 was recorded into additional paid-in capital. The warrants exercisable for the 1,072,439 shares of common stock were accounted for under equity treatment and were recorded at the allocated fair value as of the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of the warrants was $1,009,433 and the allocated fair value of $595,184 was recorded into additional paid-in capital. The warrants exercisable for the 105,000 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 $80,677 and recorded as additional paid-in-capital and professional fees. The warrants exercisable for the 6,000 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 $9,006 and recorded as additional paid-in-capital and professional fees.

 

The warrants exercisable for the 9,000 shares of common stock were accounted for under the equity treatment and were fair valued as of the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was valued at $11,407 and recorded as additional paid-in-capital and investor relations. The additional warrants exercisable for the 9,000 shares of common stock were accounted for under the equity treatment and were fair valued as of the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was valued at $9,685 and recorded as additional paid-in-capital and investor relations. The warrants exercisable for 64,105 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 $90,852 and recorded as additional paid-in-capital and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as issuance costs.

 

The warrants exercisable for the 1,477,287 shares were accounted for under liability accounting on the date they were recorded, except for 58,914 shares which were recorded directly into equity using the Black-Scholes pricing model on February 23, 2015 at a fair value of $92,111. The warrants to purchase 1,418,373 shares had a value of $1,498,809 when originally recorded using a Lattice pricing model and $2,217,605 as of February 23, 2015 using a Black-Scholes pricing model when the warrant terms became fixed and were reclassified into equity with the fair value adjustment recorded as derivative expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The warrants exercisable for the 347,202 shares were accounted for under liability accounting on the date they were recorded, except for 247,552 shares which were recorded directly into equity using the Black-Scholes pricing model on April 6, 2015 at a fair value of $309,121. The warrants to purchase 99,650 shares had a value of $172,809 when originally recorded using a Lattice pricing model and $124,434 as of April 6, 2015 using a Black-Scholes pricing model when the warrant terms became fixed and were reclassified into equity with the fair value adjustment recorded as derivative expense on the consolidated statement of operations.

 

  13  

 

 

The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of issuance except for the warrants to purchase 1,518,387 shares which were valued using a Lattice pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the warrants in both models, 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 a comparable published volatility of a peer company. 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 were as follows:

 

Expected volatility     89% - 112%  
Risk free interest rate     0.56% - 2.21%  
Warrant term (years)      2 - 7.5  
Dividend yield     0%  

 

We utilize a Lattice model to determine the fair market value of the warrants to purchase 1,418,373 shares on the day they were issued. The warrants issued resulted in a warrant derivative liability of $1,498,809 on the dates they were issued. The Lattice model accommodates the probability of exercise price adjustment features as outlined in the placement agent agreement. Under the terms of the placement agent agreement, until the final close of the private placement financing under the agreement, the exercise price per share can be reduced in proportion to the exercise price per share of warrants issued in the private placement that is lower than the exercise price per share as stated in the warrant agreement. The estimated fair value was derived using the lattice model with the following assumptions:

 

Expected volatility     90% - 91%  
Risk free interest rate     1.89% - 1.98%  
Warrant term (years)     7  
Dividend yield     0%  

 

We utilize a Lattice model to determine the fair market value of the warrants to purchase 99,650 shares on March 31, 2015, the day they were issued. The warrants issued resulted in a warrant derivative liability of $172,809 on the date they were issued. The Lattice model accommodates the probability of exercise price adjustment features as outlined in the placement agent agreement. Under the terms of the placement agent agreement, until the final close of the private placement financing under the agreement, the exercise price per share can be reduced in proportion to the exercise price per share of warrants issued in the private placement that is lower than the exercise price per share as stated in the warrant agreement. The estimated fair value was derived using the lattice model with the following assumptions:

 

Expected volatility     90%  
Risk free interest rate     1.71%  
Warrant term (years)     7  
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.

 

  14  

 

 

In the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not record any income tax provision due to expected future losses and full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

Executive Summary

 

AntriaBio, is a biopharmaceutical company that develops novel, sustained release injectable therapies. We apply our proprietary formulation and manufacturing capabilities to known, well-characterized molecules to create differentiated, patent-protected products that have the potential to significantly improve existing standards of care. Our lead product candidate, AB101 is a microsphere formulation of human recombinant insulin and a biodegradable polymer that is injected subcutaneously once per week for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We believe that AB101 has the potential to provide a near peak-less, slow and uniform release of basal insulin. The current standard of care in the $11 billion basal insulin market is daily or twice a day injections.

 

In calendar year 2014 and 2015, we successfully raised a total of $24.8 million to fund our operations and we have accomplished a series of corporate objectives including:

 

· Established a 27,000 square-foot research laboratory and manufacturing facility

· Created a Scientific Advisory Board of esteemed endocrinologists

· Hired staff to complete the formation of scientific, clinical and corporate teams

· Produced preclinical material for our lead product candidate, AB101

· Conducted in vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies of AB101

· Presented data from these studies in an oral session at the American Diabetes Association 75 th Scientific Sessions in Boston

· Completed construction of our cGMP manufacturing suite

· Initiated discussions with the FDA regarding our lead product candidate

· Announced the addition of a new product candidate, AB301

 

At the start of calendar year 2015, we set out to complete the following five key objectives and the following is an update on our progress.

 

Complete toxicology studies for AB101

 

We needed to conduct toxicology studies in two animal species to enable the filing of an IND for AB101 with the FDA and we have successfully completed six week repeat dose toxicology studies in both dogs and rats. Further analysis and reports are underway and will be completed by the end of the 1 st quarter of calendar year 2016.

File AB101 IND with FDA

 

In order to enable a clinical study for AB101, our plan at the start of the year was to file an IND with the FDA prior to the end of the 4 th quarter of calendar year 2015. As part of the process of filing the IND, we initiated a dialogue with the FDA through a pre-IND meeting request submission to obtain their perspective with respect to our preclinical efforts and planned initial clinical studies for AB101. We have received detailed and constructive feedback from the FDA regarding our study plans for AB101 and we believe that we will be able to incorporate their opinions into our clinical efforts.

 

Although we received several comments from the FDA, there is one issue that will adversely impact our timeline for the commencement of our first clinical study. Specifically, based upon our review of similar filings by other corporations, we initially anticipated that the FDA would require one month of stability data for our peginsulin drug substance in the filing of the IND. However, the FDA has informed us that it would like at least six months of stability data for peginsulin and this extended timeline will delay our IND filing and commencement of our clinical study until 2016 as detailed below. While we are still reviewing our planned IND submission with the FDA, to date we have not received any responses that we believe would preclude us from studying AB101 in patients.

  

Construction of cGMP Suite

 

In order to conduct our first clinical study for AB101, we require sterile materials and therefore one of our objectives at the start of the year was to construct a cGMP manufacturing suite in our Louisville, Colorado facility. We incurred approximately $2.5 million on the project, with a targeted completion date of August 2015. The construction project was completed in November 2015 and we are finalizing certifications on the cGMP suite. While the project was completed substantially within budget, we did experience certain delays that pushed out completion timelines including the following: delays in the delivery of certain construction materials from manufacturers; extended lead times for the acquisition of certain equipment, including casework for our laboratories; and delays on the validation of certain newly purchased equipment and final certification of the cGMP suite.

 

At the start of the year, we planned for the manufacture of cGMP AB101 material in September or October 2015 in anticipation of our first clinical study. Given the delays in finalizing the suite, we do not expect to have cGMP AB101 clinical material available until the first half of calendar year 2016.

 

Commence clinical studies for AB101

 

At the start of the year we planned to commence our first human clinical study in the latter half of calendar year 2015. Taking into account the aforementioned FDA request for six months of stability data on AB101’s drug substance as well as the delay in the completion of our cGMP facility, we now believe that we will file the IND for AB101 at the end of the 2 nd quarter of calendar year 2016 and subsequently commence the clinical study following the FDA’s acceptance of the IND application.

 

Announce an additional pipeline candidate using our proprietary platform

 

At the start of the year, we set out to announce an additional pipeline candidate by end of calendar year 2015. On September 16, 2015, we announced the addition of a successfully formulated new product candidate to our product development pipeline. As a potential treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes, AB301 is a once-weekly injectable combination of a PEGylated human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist and AB101, our basal insulin lead product candidate. We believe there is a potential advantage of combining a GLP-1 agonist with basal insulin to complement glycemic control while attenuating weight gain and hypoglycemic risk. We believe AB301 is a unique candidate relative to similar combination therapies that are currently in clinical development that will be dosed daily if successfully commercialized. In vitro and in vivo studies completed to date indicate that AB301 has the potential to be a well-tolerated, effective therapy for type 2 diabetes. We are currently engaged in ongoing preclinical studies of AB301.

 

  17  

 

 

While we were unable to commence our clinical studies for AB101 in calendar year 2015, we believe we have made and continue to make significant progress towards advancing the program. We remain encouraged by the potential for AB101, particularly following our interactions with the FDA and the completion of toxicology studies in two species to support its IND. Having expanded our capabilities through the construction of a cGMP manufacturing suite and announcing an additional pipeline candidate, we remain committed to advancing AB101 into the clinic in 2016. To that end, as of December 31, 2015, we had $1.7 million in cash to fund our operations. While we still have capital to fund our current activities, we do not have sufficient capital to continue our operations through the end of calendar year 2016, including funding the first clinical study for AB101. We anticipate requiring approximately $13 - $18 million to fund all of our corporate objectives through calendar year 2016, including making cGMP batches of AB101 material, finalizing and filing our IND with the FDA and paying for the first clinical study, which we plan to conduct at a contract research organization in southern California. The additional funding will also allow us to continue our preclinical efforts for AB301, including all of the necessary preparations to file an IND application.  As a result, one of our primary goals is to raise additional capital as soon as practicable on favorable terms.

 

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 share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, useful life of depreciable assets, 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 Six Months Ended December 30, 2015 and 2014

 

Results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2015 (the “2016 quarter”) and the three months ended December 31, 2014 (the “2015 quarter”) reflected losses of approximately $4,066,000 and $2,936,000, respectively.

 

Results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2015 (the “2016 period”) and the six months ended December 31, 2014 (the “2015 period”) reflected losses of approximately $7,354,000 and $5,150,000, 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 $2,524,000 in the 2016 quarter compared to $1,566,000 in the 2015 quarter. Research and development costs were approximately $4,492,000 in the 2016 period compared to $1,679,000 in the 2015 period. The increase is due to the Company having significant research and development activities during the 2016 period compared to the 2015 period. The Company has hired significant staff as well as begun preparing to manufacture clinical material in the 2016 period as compared to the 2015 period in which the Company was still getting the facilities established.

 

  18  

 

 

General and administrative costs were approximately $1,543,000 in the 2016 quarter compared to $1,503,000 in the 2015 quarter. General and administrative costs were approximately $2,874,000 in the 2016 period compared to $3,625,000 in the 2015 period. The decrease is due to a decrease in consulting fees and investor relations fees for the 2016 quarter and period as we have hired staff and brought significant portions of those roles in house.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2015, we have approximately $1.7 million in cash on hand and a working capital deficit of approximately $649,000. During the year ended June 30, 2015, we closed on an equity transaction in which we issued 6,040,921 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $10.1 million from the equity transaction. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, we closed on a Preferred Stock transaction in which we issued 1,025,699 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million from the transaction. While we do have cash on hand, we anticipate that we will need an additional $13 - $18 million to cover operating expenses, clinical trials of AB101 and continuing research and development of our product pipeline through the calendar year end 2016. We are currently evaluating raising additional capital to fund our current and future operations.

 

Going Concern

 

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations in our business. The issuance of additional 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

 

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.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) , which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively but may also be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We expect to adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2016. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

  19  

 

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which is intended to improve how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets by eliminating the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet.  Instead, organizations will now be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.  The changes are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We expect to adopt the provisions of this new guidance on July 1, 2016.   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.

 

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 December 31, 2015 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, and a need for a stronger internal control environment. 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.

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, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”).

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

 

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a consulting agreement with an investor relations firm. As part of the compensation for our investor relations firm, we agreed to issue warrants to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock as part of the agreement in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The warrants will vest on September 30, 2016, contain a cashless exercise rights, and shall be adjusted both as to the number of Financing Warrant Shares and price into which and at which they are exercisable, based on any splits, conversions, or reorganizations that affect the Company’s common stock.

(v) Purchaser understands that, unless Purchaser notifies the Company in writing to the contrary at or before a Closing, each of Purchaser's representations and warranties contained in this Purchase Agreement will be deemed to have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of a Closing, taking into account all information received by Purchaser.

 

(vi) Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has the right in its sole and absolute discretion to abandon this Offering at any time prior to the completion of this Offering. This Purchase Agreement shall thereafter have no force or effect and the Company shall return the previously paid the Purchase Price of the Offered Shares, without interest thereon, to Purchaser.

 

(vii) Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Offered Shares or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

 

(c) Non-reliance :

 

(i) Purchaser confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Offered Shares or (B) made any representation to Purchaser regarding the legality of an investment in the Offered Shares under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations. In deciding to purchase the Offered Shares, Purchaser is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and Purchaser has made its own independent decision that the investment in the Offered Shares is suitable and appropriate for Purchaser.

 

(d) Status of Undersigned :

 

(i) Purchaser has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares. With the assistance of Purchaser's own professional advisors, to the extent that Purchaser has deemed appropriate, Purchaser has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares and the consequences of this Purchase Agreement. Purchaser has considered the suitability of the Offered Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition and Purchaser is able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the Offered Shares and its authority to invest in the Offered Shares.

 

(ii) Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the U.S. Securities Act. Purchaser agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has completed the accredited investor letter as set forth on Exhibit A and other questionnaires and certifications attached hereto as exhibits and that the information contained therein is complete and accurate as of the date thereof and is hereby affirmed as of the date hereof. Any information that has been furnished or that will be furnished by Purchaser to evidence its status as an accredited investor is accurate and complete, and does not contain any misrepresentation or material omission.

 

5

 

 

(e) Restrictions on Transfer or Sale of Offered Shares : As applies to Purchaser:

 

(i) Purchaser is acquiring the Offered Shares solely for Purchaser’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Offered Shares. Purchaser understands that the Offered Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of Purchaser and of the other representations made by Purchaser in this Purchase Agreement. Purchaser understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Purchase Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

 

(ii) Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the U.S. Securities Act and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC or the “ Commission ”) provide in substance that Purchaser may dispose of the Offered Shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and Purchaser understands that the Company has no obligation or intention to register any of the Offered Shares, or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act (including Rule 144 thereunder). Accordingly, Purchaser understands that under the Commission's rules, Purchaser may dispose of the Offered Shares principally only in “private placements” which are exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act, in which event the transferee will acquire “restricted securities” subject to the same limitations as in the hands of Purchaser. Consequently, Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Offered Shares for an indefinite period of time.

 

(iii) Purchaser agrees: (A) that Purchaser will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Offered Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Offered Shares under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws; (B) that the certificates representing the Offered Shares will bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (C) that the Company and its affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Offered Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions. Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Offered Shares to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (B) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

(f) No Hedging : Neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates will, directly or indirectly hold or maintain any short position in or engage in hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company or any other securities of the Company, other than in accordance with the U.S. Securities Act.

(b).          Authorization. The Offered Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in the manner set forth in this Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will conform in all material respects to the description thereof set forth in the Memorandum. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Offered Shares has been duly reserved for issuance, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under any agreement between the Company and the Investor, and applicable federal and state securities laws. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that enforcement of this Agreement and the terms of the Offered Shares may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to the fact that equitable remedies are discretionary and may not be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c).          Subsidiaries. The Company does not currently own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, association, or other business entity. The Company is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.

 

(d).          No Default. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or any material contract, agreement or arrangement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(e).          Compliance with Laws; Permits. The Company holds all material licenses, approvals, certificates, permits and authorizations necessary for the lawful conduct of its business and is in material compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances.

The Company is not in default in any material respect under any such franchise, permit, license or other similar authority.

 

(f).          Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding at law or in equity, arbitration or administrative or other proceeding by or before (or to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Company any investigation by) any governmental or other instrumentality or agency, pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, information and belief, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its properties, intellectual property and patents, or other rights which could materially and adversely affect the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business as now conducted, or which could materially and adversely affect the condition, whether financial or otherwise, or properties or intellectual property of the Company; and the Company does not know of any valid basis for any such action, proceeding or investigation.

(a).         Antria shall use reasonable commercial efforts to (i) prepare and file with the SEC within thirty ( 30 ) calendar days after the Closing Date a registration statement (on Form S-3, SB-1, SB-2, S-1, or other appropriate registration statement form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) under the U.S. Securities Act (the “ Registration Statement ”), at the sole expense of Antria, in respect of Purchaser, so as to permit a public offering and resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Offered Shares (collectively, the “ Registrable Securities ”) in the United States under the U.S. Securities Act by Purchaser as a selling stockholder and not as underwriter; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible, but in any event not later than the earlier of ninety ( 90 ) calendar days following the Closing Date. Antria will notify Purchaser of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within three (3) trading days (days in which the OTCQB is open for quotation). The initial Registration Statement shall cover the resale of 100% of the Registrable Securities, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (as promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same purpose and effect as such Rule); provided , however , that if 100% of the Registrable Securities included hereunder cannot be registered, the number of Registrable Securities on the initial Registration Statement shall be reduced pro-rata among all Purchasers.

 

(b).         Antria will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under this Section 4 effective under the U.S. Securities Act until the earlier of the date (i) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or (ii) Purchaser receives an opinion of counsel to Antria, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the Company and the transfer agent, that the Registrable Securities may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144.

 

(c).         All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by Antria in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and in complying with applicable securities and “blue sky” laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees of Antria, registration, qualification, notification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration) shall be borne by Antria. Purchaser shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to the Registrable Securities being registered and the fees and expenses of its counsel. Antria shall qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as Purchaser reasonably designates. However, Antria shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to Antria and/or the sellers, or which will require Antria to qualify to do business in such state or require Antria to file therein any general consent to service of process. Antria at its expense will supply Purchaser with copies of the applicable Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and other related documents in such quantities as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser.

Any delay or delays caused by Purchaser, or by any other purchaser of securities of Antria having registration rights similar to those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not constitute a breach or default of Antria under this Agreement. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company’s obligations under this Section 4 with respect to the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement are subject to Purchaser or any other purchaser of securities of Antria having registration rights similar to those contained herein, timely providing the Company with the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire and all information reasonably requested by the Company to prepare and file the Registration Statement.
