LIPOCINE INC.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Lipocine Inc. financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. Preparing financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Although these estimates are based upon the Company’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. The results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full year.

 

(2) Liquidity

The Company has, at times, incurred negative cash flow from operations, and has expended, and expects to continue to expend substantial funds to implement its product development efforts and commercialization programs. The Company believes its existing capital resources at March 31, 2013 should be sufficient to fund its current operations through at least April 1, 2014. The Company will need to raise additional funds to support its planned operations, long-term research, product development, and commercialization programs. However, there is no assurance that, if required, the Company will be able to raise additional capital or reduce spending, including modifying or terminating planned clinical trials or commercialization programs, to provide the required liquidity.

 

(3) Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the three-months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was calculated using the two-class method, which is an earnings (loss) allocation method for computing earnings (loss) per share when an entity’s capital structure includes common stock and participating securities. The two-class method determines earnings (loss) per share based on dividends declared on common stock and participating securities (i.e., distributed earnings) and participation rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings (loss). The application of the two-class method was required as the Company has Class A and Class B common stock and since the Company’s Series B preferred stock and the unvested restricted stock each contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. However, unvested restricted stock grants and Series B convertible preferred stock are not included in computing basic earnings (loss) per share for the three-months ended March 31, 2013, as the Company has losses for this period and these securities are not contractually obligated to share in losses of the Company.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus, where applicable, the additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding related to dilutive options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and unvested restricted stock, to the extent such shares are dilutive

(4) Fair Value

For trade accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, related-party receivable, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) consist of the following at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheets:

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents primarily consist of highly rated money market funds with original maturities to the Company of three months or less, and are purchased daily at par value with specified yield rates. Due to the high ratings and short-term nature of the funds, the Company considers all cash equivalents as Level 1.

 

(5) Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s effective tax rate for the full year adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, net of expected reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, as it believes it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, an extension of the research and development credit in the U.S. was signed into law. While the Company fully intends to take advantage of the research and development credit for the 2012 and 2013 tax years, no benefit has been recorded in the financial statements due to the full valuation allowance position in the U.S.

 

(6) Share-Based Payments

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for grants of stock option awards and restricted stock under the Company’s Incentive Plan to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s board of directors based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of an award is generally recognized as compensation expense over the award’s requisite service period. In addition, the Company has granted performance-based stock option awards and restricted stock grants which vest based upon the Company satisfying certain performance conditions. Potential compensation cost, measured on the grant date, related to these performance options will be recognized only if, and when, the Company estimates that these options will vest, which is based on whether the Company considers the options’ performance conditions to be probable of attainment. The Company’s estimates of the number of performance-based options that will vest will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods. In addition, the Company grants stock options to nonemployee consultants from time to time in exchange for services performed for the Company. Equity instruments granted to nonemployees are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2013, the Company modified 3,262,948 existing time-vested and performance based stock options by lowering the exercise price to $0.782. Additionally, the Company modified the vesting terms for its unvested performance stock options and unvested restricted stock to vest on the earlier of the first dosing in the pivotal clinical study for its lead drug candidate, or 50% on January 31, 2014 and 50% on January 31, 2015. Compensation expense of $421,950 was recorded as a result of the modifications.

Stock-based compensation cost that has been expensed in the statements of operations amounted to $480,306 and $46,033 for the three-months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, allocated as follows:

 

     Three-months ended
March 31,
 
     2013      2012  

Research and development

   $ 152,257       $ 14,593   

General and administrative

     328,049         31,440   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
   $ 480,306       $ 46,033   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2013, there was approximately $859,038 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s Incentive Plan. The cost will be expensed pro-rata over the service period. The cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized at any point in time is at least equal to the portion of the award that is vested at that date. The weighted average fair value of share-based compensation awards granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2013, was approximately $0.48.

(7) Collaborative Agreements

 

  (a) Abbott Products, Inc.

On May 15, 2009, the Company granted an exclusive license to Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (later acquired by Abbott Products, Inc.) to certain rights to its intellectual property in exchange for an up-front license fee of $4,000,000, certain specified payments upon achievement of various development and commercial milestones or the passage of time and also a royalty on related net sales. The Company also received research revenue for services rendered during the development period and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

The Company received the up-front fee of $4,000,000 in 2009 and milestone payments, related solely to the passing of time and not the achievement of any of the development or commercial milestones, totaling $3,000,000 and $2,000,000 in 2011 and 2010. The up-front license fee and milestone payments were recorded as a single unit of account, as the delivered technology does not have stand-alone value. Total consideration was recorded using cumulative catch-up method as payments were deemed collectible over the estimated term of the contract for which the Company has continuing performance obligations. The agreement was terminated effective March 29, 2012, and the balance of deferred revenue of $7,523,438 was recognized as licensing and milestone revenue during the three-months ended March 31, 2012. The Company also earned research revenue under the agreement of $186,233 during the three-months ended March 31, 2012.

 

  (b) Nexgen Pharma, Inc.

On May 21, 2011, the Company entered into a collaborative product development agreement with Nexgen Pharma, Inc. (“Nexgen”). Under the agreement, the parties agreed to jointly develop certain products for the treatment of coughs and colds and to share future revenues from those products. Nexgen agreed to reimburse the Company at cost for all future clinical costs incurred in the development of the products. A total of $375,616 and $342,292 was reimbursed for related expenses under the agreement during the three-months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and recorded net in research and development expense. The Company had a trade receivable of $375,616 at March 31, 2013 for which payment was received subsequent to that date. The Company is responsible for certain new drug application (“NDA”) filing costs with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under terms of this contract and, additionally, will participate on a joint steering committee with Nexgen for the development, regulatory, and manufacturing strategy of product candidates. On July 23, 2013, the Company transferred all rights and obligations under this agreement to Spriaso, LLC (see note 11).

 

  (c) Contract Research and Development

The Company has entered into agreements with various contract organizations that conduct preclinical, clinical, analytical and manufacturing development work on behalf of the Company as well as with a number of independent contractors, primarily clinical researchers, who serve as advisors to the Company. The Company incurred expenses of $414,490 and $446,701 under these agreements during the three-months ended March 31 2013 and 2012.

(9) Stockholders’ Equity

 

  (a) Preferred Stock

Series B convertible preferred stock may be converted any time after three years after issuance and at the option of the holder into Series A common stock on a one-to-one basis. Series B preferred stockholders are not entitled to vote. Series B convertible preferred stock has liquidation rights consistent with common stockholders based on the number of common shares into which Series B preferred is convertible. At March 31, 2013, all outstanding Series B preferred shares are convertible.

Preferred stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the board of directors with respect to Series A voting common stock. The Company may not pay or declare any form of dividend to Series A common stockholders without at the same time paying or declaring the same per share dividend to the preferred stockholders as if all preferred shares were converted to common stock at the date of declaration.

 

  (b) Common Stock

Common stock consists of two series; Series A common stock and Series B common stock. Both series bear the same rights except Series B shareholders are not entitled to vote. Any Series B common stock automatically converts to Series A common stock upon any consolidation, merger, or reorganization, which the Company is not the surviving entity or the closing of a public offering of Series A common stock.

 

  (c) Stock Option Plan

In January 2011, the board of directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) that provides for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options and restricted stock. The 2011 Plan assumed all of the obligations, which existed under the previous 2000 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2011 Plan, the Company has granted nonqualified and incentive stock options for the purchase of Series B common stock to directors, employees and nonemployees providing services to the Company. The board of directors, on an option-by-option basis, determines the number of shares, exercise price, term, and vesting period. Options granted generally have a ten-year term. An aggregate of 6,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the amended 2011 Plan, with 1,134,568 shares remaining available for grant as of March 31, 2013.

  (d) Restricted Series B Common Stock

In 2010, the Company issued 385,500 shares of restricted Series B common stock to employees. These shares vest on a performance basis based upon the attainment of certain milestones by the Company and are subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions are not met. The fair value of these shares when issued was $1.68 per share. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, these restricted shares were 10% vested.
