PULMATRIX, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017
(unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Organization
Pulmatrix, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of a novel class of inhaled therapeutic products. The Companys proprietary dry powder delivery platform, iSPERSE (inhaled Small Particles Easily Respirable and Emitted), is engineered to deliver small, dense particles with highly efficient dispersibility and delivery to the airways, which can be used with an array of dry powder inhaler technologies and can be formulated with a variety of drug substances. The Company is developing a pipeline of iSPERSE-based therapeutic candidates targeted at prevention and treatment of a range of respiratory diseases and infections with significant unmet medical needs.
Liquidity
At June 30, 2017, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $10,976, an accumulated deficit of $165,026 and working capital of $5,838. The Company will be required to raise additional capital within the next year to continue the development and commercialization of current product candidates and to continue to fund operations at the current cash expenditure levels.
The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Companys stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Companys ability to conduct business. If unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, the Company may have to (i) delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; (ii) seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on unfavorable terms.
On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the License Agreement) with RespiVert Ltd. (RespiVert), a wholly owned subsidiary of Janssen Biotech, Inc., pursuant to which RespiVert granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in its intellectual property portfolio of materials and technology related to narrow spectrum kinase inhibitor compounds (the Licensed IP), to develop and commercialize products worldwide that incorporate the Licensed IP. Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company will pay RespiVert an up-front, non-refundable license fee of $1,000,000 in partial consideration for the rights granted by RespiVert to the Company, and will pay RespiVert designated amounts when any licensed product achieves certain developmental milestones (see Note 6).
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 5,130,273 shares of its common stock for aggregate net proceeds of $14,467. (See Note 9).
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2017.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes to the Companys significant accounting policies identified in the Companys most recent annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the Companys current report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2017, except as noted below.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which requires an entity to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective in the annual period ending December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that annual period. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
There have been four new ASUs issued amending certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net), was issued in March, 2016 to clarify certain aspects of the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. In addition, ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, issued in April 2016, amends other sections of ASU 2014-09 including clarifying guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients provides amendments and practical expedients to the guidance in ASU 2014-09 in the areas of assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes received from customers, noncash consideration, contract modification and clarification of using the full retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. Finally, ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued in December 2016, and provides elections regarding the disclosures required for remaining performance obligations in certain cases and also makes other technical corrections and improvements to the standard. With its evaluation of the impact of ASU 2014-09, the Company will also consider the impact on its financial statements related to the updated guidance provided by these four new ASUs.
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04: Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04), which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. It is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed with a measurement date after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures was immaterial.
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-09: Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The standard is effective beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard and its impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures was immaterial.
In July 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2017-11 consists of two parts. The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entitys own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, DebtDebt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update re-characterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is in the process of evaluating this ASU and adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required 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, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities in share-based payments, estimating fair value of equity instruments recorded as derivative liabilities, estimating the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, estimating the useful lives of depreciable and amortizable assets, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, goodwill impairment, and estimating the fair value of long-lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may apply.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys principal sources of revenue during the reporting periods were reimbursement of clinical study costs. In all instances, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
7
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the acquisition method of accounting for push-down accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment within the Companys single reporting unit on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Companys reporting unit below its carrying amount. When performing the impairment assessment, the accounting standard for testing goodwill for impairment permits a company to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is impaired, the Company must perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The Company completed a qualitative assessment and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2017.
4. Goodwill
The Company recognized $10,914 of goodwill and as of June 30, 2017, there was no impairment. Goodwill has been assigned to the Companys single reporting unit.
5. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses consisted of the following:

6. Significant Agreements
License, Development and Commercialization Agreement
On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a License Agreement with RespiVert, a wholly owned subsidiary of Janssen Biotech, Inc., pursuant to which RespiVert granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to its Licensed IP, to develop and commercialize products worldwide that incorporate the Licensed IP. The development, application, design and marketing of the Licensed IP and any licensed products will be managed exclusively by the Company.
Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company will pay RespiVert an up-front, non-refundable license fee of $1,000,000 in partial consideration for the rights granted by RespiVert to the Company, and will pay RespiVert designated amounts when any licensed product achieves certain developmental milestones. Following the commencement of commercial sales of the licensed products, the Company will pay RespiVert designated amounts when certain milestone events occur. The development milestones and commercial milestones range from $1,000,000 to $80,000,000 depending upon the significance of the particular milestone. The Company is also required to pay RespiVert royalties on all sales of licensed products, with such royalties ranging from 6%10% of sales.
The License Agreement terminates upon the expiration of the Companys obligation to pay royalties for all licensed products, unless earlier terminated. In addition, the License Agreement may be terminated (i) by the Company for any reason upon 120 days advance notice to RespiVert; (ii) by RespiVert upon receipt of notice from the Company of either voluntary or involuntary insolvency proceedings of the Company; and (iii) by either party for a material breach which remains uncured following the applicable cure period.
The Company recorded $1,000,000 in research and development expense during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had $1,000,000 in accrued clinical and consulting fees on its balance sheet for the upfront license fee, which was paid in July 2017. The next likely development milestone payment would be $1,000,000 and result from first dosing of a patient in a Phase IIb Clinical Trial for a licensed product.

7. Debt
Loan and Security Agreement and Warrant Agreement
On June 11, 2015, Pulmatrix Operating entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (LSA) with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (Hercules), for a term loan in the original principal amount of $7,000 (Term Loan). The term loan is secured by substantially all of the Companys assets, excluding intellectual property. As of June 30, 2017, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan was $4,639.
The term loan bears interest at a floating annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 9.50% and (ii) the sum of (a) the prime rate as reported by The Wall Street Journal minus 3.25% plus (b) 8.50%. The Company is required to make interest payments in cash on the first business day of each month, beginning on July 1, 2015. Beginning on August 1, 2016, the Company began to make monthly payments on the first business day of each month consisting of principal and interest based upon a 30-month amortization schedule, and any unpaid principal and interest is due on the maturity date of July 1, 2018. Upon repayment of the term loan, the Company is also required to pay an end of term charge to the Lenders equal to $245. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has accrued $195 of the total $245 end of term charge, of which $40 and $51 accrued during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company may elect to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan, subject to a prepayment fee of 1% 3%, depending on the date of repayment. Contingent on the occurrence of several events, including that the Companys closing stock price exceed $11.73 per share for the seven days preceding a payment date, the Company may elect to pay, in whole or in part, any regularly scheduled installment of principal up to an aggregate maximum amount of $1,000 by converting a portion of the principal into shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $11.73 per share. Hercules may elect to receive payments in the Company common stock by requiring the Company to effect a conversion option whereby Hercules can elect to receive a principal installment payment in shares of the Company common stock based on a price of $11.73 per share, subject to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1,000.
The Company determined that the Companys provisions allowing conversion of all or a portion of the LSA contained a beneficial conversion feature (BCF). The BCF is contingent upon the occurrence of certain events and as such, the Company will not record the BCF until the contingency is resolved. Through June 30, 2017 the contingency was not resolved.
The credit facility includes affirmative and negative covenants. The affirmative covenants include, among others, covenants requiring the Company to maintain its legal existence and governmental approvals deliver certain financial reports and maintain insurance coverage. The negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on transferring collateral, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, creating liens, selling assets, and undergoing a change in control, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In general, the Term Loan prohibits the Company from (i) repurchasing or redeeming any class of capital stock, including common stock or (ii) declaring or paying any cash dividend or making cash distribution on any class of capital stock, including common stock.
The LSA includes provisions requiring the embedded interest rate reset upon an event of default and the put option upon an event of default or qualified change of control each represent an embedded derivative instrument requiring bifurcation from the loan. The embedded derivatives were bundled and valued as one compound derivative in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging. The fair value of the compound derivative at issuance of $11 was recorded as a derivative liability and as a discount to the debt. The derivative liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value being recorded as other income (expense) in the statements of operations (Note 12). At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the derivative liability was valued at $35. The net debt discounts resulting from the embedded compound derivative and lender fees are being amortized as interest expense from the date of issuance through the maturity date using the effective interest method. The Company incurred interest expense of $172 and $359 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $34 and $34 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Of the total interest expense, $126 and $265 was payable in cash during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $27 and $27 was payable in cash during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

9. Common Stock
Registered Direct Offering
On January 27, 2017, Pulmatrix, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with certain investors for the sale by the Company of 2,000,000 shares (the Shares) of the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $2.50 per share in a registered direct offering. The closing of the sale of the Shares under the Purchase Agreement occurred on February 2, 2017.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2017 the Company sold 2,180,273 shares of its common stock under the Sales Agreement at an average selling price of approximately $3.3001 per share which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $ 7,195 and net proceeds of approximately $6,869 after payment of 3% commission to BTIG and other issuance costs.
10. Warrants
There were 3,284,440 common stock warrants outstanding at June 30, 2017. The warrants had a weighted-average exercise price of $7.79 with no intrinsic value and a remaining contractual life of 2.9 years.
11. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company sponsors the Pulmatrix, Inc. 2013 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the 2013 Plan). As of June 30, 2017, the 2013 Plan provides for the grant of up to 4,193,075 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 824,585 shares remained available for future grant.

The risk-free interest rate was obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. The Companys expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. The expected life of the Companys options was determined using the simplified method as a result of limited historical data regarding the Companys activity. The dividend yield considers that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2017 there was $5,489 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted under the Companys stock award plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.

Embedded Compound Derivatives LSA with Hercules
As described in Note 7, the LSA contains an interest rate reset upon an event of default and a put option upon an event of default or qualified change of control. Each of these features represents an embedded derivative instrument requiring bifurcation from the Term Loan. The embedded derivatives were bundled and valued as one compound derivative in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging. The proceeds from the issuance of the Term Loan were allocated first to the warrant and compound derivative at their respective fair values, with the residual going to the carrying amount of the loan resulting in a discount to the face value of the debt. The fair value of the compound derivative upon issuance of $11 was recognized as a derivative liability and will be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of the derivative liability was remeasured and valued at $35. The fair value of the derivative instruments is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company used an income approach to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability and estimated the probability of an event of default occurring at various dates and then estimates the present value of the amount the holders would receive upon an event of default.
12
The significant assumption used in the model is the probability of the following scenarios occurring:
At Issuance Date | At June 30, 2017 | |||
Probability of an event of default |
10% | 50% | ||
Prepayment penalties |
1.0% - 3.0% | 1.0% - 3.0% | ||
End of term payment |
$245,000 | $245,000 | ||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.01% | 1.03% |
The risk-free interest rate was obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. The Companys expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for industry peers and used an average of those volatilities. The expected life of the Companys options was determined using the simplified method as a result of limited historical data regarding the Companys activity. The dividend yield considers that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
A roll-forward of the preferred stock warrant liability and derivative liability categorized with Level 3 inputs is as follows:

Gains and/or losses arising from changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and embedded compound derivatives are recorded within other income, net, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
13. Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted net loss per share using a methodology that gives effect to the impact of outstanding participating securities (the two-class method). As the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 resulted in net losses attributable to common shareholders, there is no income allocation required under the two-class method or dilution attributed to weighted average shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.
The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding prior to the use of the treasury stock method have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive.

Overview
Recent Developments
Business
The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of a novel class of inhaled therapeutic products. The Companys proprietary dry powder delivery platform, iSPERSE (inhaled Small Particles Easily Respirable and Emitted), is engineered to deliver small, dense particles with highly efficient dispersibility and delivery to the airways, which can be used with an array of dry powder inhaler technologies and can be formulated with a variety of drug substances. The Company is developing a pipeline of iSPERSE-based therapeutic candidates targeted at prevention and treatment of a range of respiratory diseases and infections with significant unmet medical needs. Since our inception in 2003, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to product research and development. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales. We have funded our operations to date through proceeds from issuances of common and convertible preferred stock, issuances of convertible debt, collaborations with third parties and non-dilutive grants received from government agencies.
We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years based on our drug development plans. We expect our expenses and capital requirements will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
| initiate and expand clinical trials for PUR1900 for patients with severe lung disease; |
14
| seek regulatory approval for our product candidates; |
| hire personnel to support our product development, commercialization and administrative efforts; and |
| advance the research and development related activities for inhaled therapeutic products in our pipeline. |
We will not generate product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical developments and obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates. Additionally, we currently utilize third-party contract research organizations, or CROs, to carry out our clinical development activities, and we do not yet have a commercial organization. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our internal commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing and distribution. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, potentially including collaborative commercial arrangements. Likewise, we intend to seek to limit our commercialization costs by partnering with other companies with complementary capabilities or larger infrastructure including sales and marketing.
On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the License Agreement) with RespiVert Ltd. (RespiVert), a wholly owned subsidiary of Janssen Biotech, Inc., pursuant to which RespiVert granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in its intellectual property portfolio of materials and technology related to narrow spectrum kinase inhibitor compounds (the Licensed IP), to develop and commercialize products worldwide that incorporate the Licensed IP. The development, application, design and marketing of the Licensed IP and any licensed products will be managed exclusively by the Company.
Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company will pay RespiVert an up-front, non-refundable license fee of $1,000,000 in partial consideration for the rights granted by RespiVert to the Company, and will pay RespiVert designated amounts when any licensed product achieves certain developmental milestones. Following the commencement of commercial sales of the licensed products, the Company will pay RespiVert designated amounts when certain milestone events occur. The development milestones and commercial milestones range from $1,000,000 to $80,000,000 depending upon the significance of the particular milestone. The Company is also required to pay RespiVert royalties on all sales of licensed products, with such royalties ranging from 6%10% of sales.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Even if we are able to generate product sales, we may not become profitable. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.
Financial Overview
Revenues
To date, we have not generated any product sales. Our limited revenues have been derived from feasibility work as part of agreements with other pharmaceutical companies and grants from government agencies. On March 24, 2015, we entered into the long-acting muscarinic agent collaboration agreement with Mylan under which we are eligible to receive reimbursement of up to $1.5 million for third-party out of pocket expenses directly related to clinical trials. On September 14, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the collaboration agreement to provide reimbursements with a new cost cap of $1.878 million. As consideration for the funding received, we agreed to grant to Mylan an option for the exclusive right to develop, manufacture, commercialize and market any resulting products outside the United States for 180 days following the delivery of a clinical studies report, in exchange for a tiered share of gross profit of up to 20% of such pharmaceutical companys sales on the resulting products. In December 2016, Mylans option expired. As of June 30, 2017, Pulmatrix owns the exclusive right to develop, manufacture, commercialize and market any resulting products of PUR0200.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the research and development of our preclinical and clinical candidates, and include:
| employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense; |
| expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and preclinical activities; |
| the cost of acquiring, developing and manufacturing clinical trial materials and lab supplies; |
| facility, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent, maintenance of our facility, insurance and other supplies; and |
| costs associated with preclinical activities and regulatory operations. |
15
We expense research and development costs to operations as incurred. We recognize costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or information provided to us by our vendors.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. We utilize a combination of internal and external efforts to advance product development from early stage work to clinical trial manufacturing and clinical trial support. External efforts include work with consultants and substantial work at CROs and CMOs. We support an internal research and development team and facility for our pipeline programs including PUR1900, our lead CF anti-infective, PUR0200, our lead COPD bronchodilator, and PUR1500, our preclinical stage therapeutic for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In order to move these programs forward along our development timelines, we maintain a significant staff of research and development employees (71% of staff). In addition, we maintain a 12,000 square foot research and development facility which includes capital equipment for the manufacture, characterization, and in vitro/in vivo evaluation of our iSPERSE powders for our pipeline programs. As we identify opportunities for iSPERSE in respiratory indications, we anticipate additional head count, capital, and development costs will be incurred to support these programs.
On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a License Agreement with RespiVert, pursuant to which RespiVert granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to its Licensed IP, to develop and commercialize products worldwide that incorporate the Licensed IP. As of June 30, 2017, the Company accrued a $1.0 million up-front, non-refundable license fee to RespiVert that was paid in July 2017.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, however, we cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of these or other current or future preclinical studies and clinical trials. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including the uncertainties of future clinical and preclinical studies, uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment rates and significant and changing government regulation. In addition, the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs such as stock-based compensation for personnel and consultants in executive, finance, business development, corporate communications and human resource functions, facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, patent filing fees and professional legal fees. Other general and administrative expenses include travel expenses and professional fees for consulting, auditing and tax services.
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research and development and potential commercialization of our product candidates. We also anticipate increased expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, director and officer liability insurance, investor relations costs and other costs associated with being a public company. Additionally, if and when we believe a regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, we anticipate an increase in staffing and related expenses as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, especially as it relates to the sales and marketing of our product candidates.
Interest Expense
We have been incurring and expect to continue to incur interest expense associated with the $7 million term loan executed in June 2015.
Other Expenses, Net
Other income, net is comprised primarily of gains and/or losses resulting from fair value adjustments for compound derivative instruments embedded within certain of our convertible notes.
Critical Accounting Policies
This managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical
16
experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in our audited financial statements included in our current report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 10, 2017, we believe the following accounting policies to be most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required 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, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities in share-based payments, estimating fair value of equity instruments recorded as derivative liabilities, estimating the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, estimating the useful lives of depreciable and amortizable assets, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, goodwill impairment, and estimating the fair value of long-lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may apply.
Revenue Recognition
Our principal sources of revenue are income from reimbursement of clinical study costs. In all instances, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired under the acquisition method of accounting for push-down accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the related reporting unit below its carrying amount. When performing the impairment assessment, the accounting standard for testing goodwill for impairment permits a company to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired. If we believe, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is impaired, we must perform the goodwill impairment test. We have determined that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2017.

Revenue For the three months ended June 30, 2017, revenue was $0.0 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in revenue was the result of the decreased revenue associated with the conclusion of the clinical study funded under our collaboration agreement with Mylan.
17
Research and development expenses For the three months ended June 30, 2017, research and development expense was $3.4 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million up-front, non-refundable license fee to RespiVert.
General and administrative expenses For the three months ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expense was $2.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.4 million in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in salaries, legal and professional consultant costs.
Write-off of intangibles, net of tax provision For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the write-off of intangibles, net of tax provision, was $0 compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. In 2016, as a result of the lapse of our license agreement for RUT58 60, a proprietary formulation of HOC1, a full write-off was made of both the IPR&D acquired in our 2015 Merger with Ruthigen, Inc., $7.5 million, and the associated deferred tax liability, $2.9 million, as of June 30, 2016.
Interest expense For the three months ended June 30, 2017 interest expense was $0.2 million compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. During both periods, interest expense incurred related to the term loan agreement that we entered into in June 2015.

Revenue For the six months ended June 30, 2017, revenue was $0.0 compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in revenue was the result of the decreased revenue associated with the conclusion of the clinical study funded under our collaboration agreement with Mylan.
Research and development expenses For the six months ended June 30, 2017, research and development expense was $5.0 million compared to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to $1.9 million of reduced spend on the PUR1900 and PUR0200 projects related to the projects phase of development offset by $1.0 million up-front, non-refundable license fee to RespiVert.
General and administrative expenses For the six months ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expense was $3.7 million compared to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense related to awards granted in 2015 that became fully vested in 2016, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in salary related costs.
Write-off of intangibles, net of tax provision For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the write-off of intangibles, net of tax provision, was $0 compared to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In 2016, as a result of the lapse of our license agreement for RUT58 60, a proprietary formulation of HOC1, a full write-off was made of both the IPR&D acquired in our 2015 Merger with Ruthigen, Inc., $7.5 million, and the associated deferred tax liability, $2.9 million, as of June 30, 2016.
Interest expense For the six months ended June 30, 2017 interest expense was $0.4 million compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. During both periods, interest expense incurred related to the term loan agreement that we entered into in June 2015.
18
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Through June 30, 2017, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $165.0 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred through a combination of research and development activities related to our various product candidates and general and administrative expenses supporting those activities and our 2015 Merger with Ruthigen, Inc.. We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the sale of preferred and common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes and term loans. On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a License Agreement with RespiVert, pursuant to which RespiVert granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to its Licensed IP, to develop and commercialize products worldwide that incorporate the Licensed IP. As of June 30, 2017, the Company accrued a $1.0 million up-front, non-refundable license fee to RespiVert that was paid in July 2017.
Our total cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2017 was $11.0 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses, and that such losses will increase over the next several years due to development costs associated with our iSPERSE pipeline programs. We expect that our research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations, which we may raise through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding and other collaborations and strategic alliances. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $6.6 million, which was primarily the result of a net loss of $9.1 million, partially offset by $1.6 million of net non-cash adjustments and $0.9 million in cash inflows associated with changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our non-cash adjustments were primarily comprised of $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.1 million of depreciation and amortization, and $0.1 million of non-cash interest expense. The net cash inflows associated with changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses of $1.2 million, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.2 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $0.2 million.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $7.9 million, which was primarily the result of a net loss of $14.9 million and $0.3 million in cash outflows associated with changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by $7.2 million of net non-cash adjustments. Our non-cash adjustments were primarily comprised of $4.6 million of the write-off of IPR&D, net of tax provision, $2.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.1 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.1 million of non-cash interest expense. The net cash outflows associated with changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offsets by $0.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses, other current assets and restricted cash.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 were entirely due to purchases of property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $13.5 million, as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted from the issuance of common stock of $14.5 million and $0.3 million from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $1.3 million of term loan principal payments.
19
Financings
On January 27, 2017 and February 3, 2017 respectively, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreements with certain investors for the sale of the Companys common stock pursuant to its effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2016, and subsequently declared effective on August 3, 2016 (File No. 333-212546), and related prospectuses. In February 2017, the Company closed the sales of 2,950,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $7.6 million.
On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement with respect to the issuance and sale of up to $11 million of the Companys common stock from time to time in an at-the-market public offering. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the company sold 2,180,273 shares of its common stock pursuant to the At-The-Market Sales Agreement for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $6.9 million.
Based on our planned use for our existing cash resources, we believe that our available funds will be sufficient to enable us to support clinical development of our PUR1900 program through completion of a Phase IB trial in CF patients, research and development staff working on chemistry manufacturing and control activities in support of PUR0200, and pre-clinical evaluation of PUR1500 for IPF. The funding will not be sufficient to complete additional clinical work for any of the pipeline programs. We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
| the initiation, progress, timing, costs and results of clinical studies for existing and new pipeline programs based on iSPERSE; |
| the outcome, timing and cost of regulatory approvals by the FDA and European regulatory authorities, including the potential for these agencies to require that we perform studies in addition to those that we currently have planned; |
| the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; |
| our need to expand our research and development activities; |
| our need and ability to hire additional personnel; |
| our need to implement additional infrastructure and internal systems; |
| the cost of establishing and maintaining a commercial-scale manufacturing line; and |
| the cost of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for any products for which we may receive regulatory approval. |
If we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

11.2 Mediation . The Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by confidential mediation in accordance with the then current Mediation Procedure of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR Mediation Procedure) (www.cpradr.org) before initiating arbitration. The CPR Mediation Procedure controls, except where that Procedure conflicts with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. The mediator will be chosen pursuant to the CPR Mediation Procedure. The mediation will be held in New York, New York.
(a) Either Party may initiate mediation by written notice to the other of the existence of a Dispute. The Parties will select the mediator within twenty (20) days of the notice and the mediation will begin promptly after the selection. The mediation will continue until the mediator or either Party, declares in writing, no sooner than after the conclusion of one full day of a substantive mediation conference attended on behalf of each Party by a senior business person with authority to resolve the Dispute, that the Dispute cannot be resolved by mediation. In no event, will mediation continue more than sixty (60) days from the initial notice by a Party to initiate meditation unless the Parties agree in writing to extend that period.
(b) Any period of limitations that would otherwise expire between the initiation of mediation and its conclusion is extended until twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the mediation.
11.3 Arbitration . If the Parties fail to resolve the Dispute in mediation, and a Party desires to pursue resolution of the Dispute, the Dispute will be submitted by either Party for resolution in arbitration pursuant to the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of International Disputes (CPR Rules) (www.cpradr.org), except where they conflict with these provisions, in which case these provisions control. CPR is designated as the Neutral Organization for all purposes. The arbitration will be conducted in English and held in New York, New York. All aspects of the arbitration will be treated as confidential.
(a) The arbitrators will be chosen from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals, unless a candidate not on the CPR Panel is approved by both Parties. Each arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least fifteen (15) years experience with a law firm or corporate law department of over twenty- five (25) lawyers or who was a judge of a court of general jurisdiction. To the extent that the Dispute requires special expertise, the Parties will so inform CPR prior to the beginning of the selection process.
(b) The arbitration tribunal will consist of three arbitrators, chosen in accordance with Rules 5.3 and 6 of the CPR Rules. If, however, the aggregate award sought by the parties is less than $5 million and equitable relief is not sought, a single arbitrator will be chosen in accordance with Rules 5.3 and 6 of the CPR Rules.
(c) Candidates for the arbitrator position(s) may be interviewed by representatives of the Parties in advance of their selection, provided that all Parties are represented.
(d) The Parties will select the arbitrator(s) within forty-five (45) days of initiation of the arbitration. The hearing will be concluded within nine (9) months after selection of the arbitrator(s) and the award will be rendered within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the hearing, or of any post-hearing briefing, which briefing will be completed by both sides within forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the hearing. In the event the Parties cannot agree upon a schedule, then the arbitrator(s) shall set the schedule following the time limits set forth above as closely as practical.

(h) The arbitrator(s) shall render a written opinion stating the reasons upon which the award is based. The arbitrator(s) may award the costs and expenses of the arbitration as provided in the CPR Rules, but each bears its own attorney fees

APPENDIX 2: PRESS RELEASE
Re
June XX, 2017
Pulmatrix Licenses Novel Drug Candidates from RespiVert Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Janssen Biotech, Inc.
The novel compounds target an enzyme involved in both inflammation and cancer, and may offer a new
approach for treating respiratory diseases
LEXINGTON, MA Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative inhaled therapies to address serious pulmonary diseases, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with RespiVert Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Janssen Biotech, Inc. Through the agreement, Pulmatrix gains access to a portfolio of novel drug candidates in a class called kinase inhibitors that the company plans to develop.
Kinase inhibitors are chemical entities that block so-called kinase enzymes, which are involved in inflammation or cancer.
We believe these innovative compounds licensed from RespiVert Ltd. will offer a new approach for treating lung inflammation in diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), said Pulmatrix CEO Robert Clarke, PhD. They are also perfectly suited for formulation with our iSPERSE technology.
Professor Peter J Barnes, Margaret Turner-Warwick Professor of Medicine and the Head of Respiratory Medicine at Imperial College, London, stated Kinase inhibitors could be a very promising step forward for treating COPD and severe asthma. Coupled with the innovative iSPERSE technology to facilitate delivery to the site of disease within the lung, Pulmatrix is poised to improve the available therapeutic landscape for these patients in need.
The key advance in the iSPERSE approach is a dry powder that flies easily into the lungs and can work with virtually any drug class ranging from small molecules to biologics . Drugs attached to the particles are thus delivered to the lungs with very high efficiency including small molecules like the Respivert kinase inhibitors.
Pulmatrix is already developing inhaled drugs for COPD and fungal infections. These new compounds will significantly expand what we believe is already an impressive pipeline of drug candidates, said Clarke. Because these compounds have already been explored in a Phase I program, we envision that we will be able to quickly move to clinical proof-of-concept studies.
Under the terms of the agreement, which covers both respiratory and oncology uses of the drug candidates, Pulmatrix will assume all development and commercialization activities worldwide.
