ACCUREXA INC.

Notes To Interim Financial Statements

 (Unaudited)




1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2015, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.


Certain information and 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.  It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2014 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2015 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.


2 - GOING CONCERN


The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Use of Estimates

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


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES


On July 25, 2013, the Company entered into a secured convertible note (“Note”) under which the Company received $350,000 from the convertible note holder (“Holder”) and is obligated to pay to the Holder the full principal amount after 36 months from the date of the Note, plus an interest at the rate of 10.0% per year payable at the end of each year from the date of the Note.  The Holder has the right to convert the Note, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a fixed rate of $2.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”) at any time.  The Company may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time for cash on 15 business days’ prior written notice, subject to the right of the Holder to convert into shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to any prepayment.  The Note agreement was filed on August 14, 2013 as an exhibit to Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2013.


On July 15, 2014, the Company entered into a secured convertible note (“Note”) under which the Company received $20,000 from the convertible note holder (“Holder”) and is obligated to pay to the Holder the full principal amount after 36 months from the date of the Note.  The Holder has the right to convert the Note, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a "Variable Conversion Price" of 50% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 50%). “Market Price” means the average of the Closing Trading Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. The Company may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time for cash on 15 business days’ prior written notice, subject to the right of the Holder to convert into shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to any prepayment. The Company has determined the value associated with the beneficial conversion feature in connection with the notes to be $20,000. The aggregate beneficial conversion feature was accreted and charged to interest expense in the amount of $6,393 as of June 30, 2015, and will be amortized until July 15, 2017.  


On January 12, 2015, the Company and the Lim Development Group (“Consultant”) entered into a consulting agreement (“Agreement”) under which the Consultant provides scientific advisory to the Company in the development, partnering and commercialization of the “Microinjection Brain Catheter” (a.k.a. BranchPoint device) that the Company exclusively licensed from the University of California San Francisco (“UCSF”) on September 16, 2014.  The Consultant will also serve as a member of the Company’s newly formed Scientific Advisory Board.  The term of the Agreement shall be two years and may be extended by mutual agreement of both parties. As consideration for provided services during the term of the Agreement, the Consultant shall receive either a project fee or an hourly rate, either of which will be determined and agreed upon by both parties prior to commencement of any work or project.  Under the Agreement, the Company also issued a promissory note (“Note”) in the amount of $200,000 and at an interest rate of 5.00% per annum to the Consultant.  Under the Note, the Consultant shall have the right, exercisable at any time at the Consultant’s sole discretion, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of and all accrued interest under the Note, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.20 per share.  The Shares are issuable pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are to be exempt from registration by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and are to bear an appropriate restrictive legend.  A full description of the Agreement was filed as exhibit 10.1 and of the Note was filed as exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K as of January 13, 2015.

On July 6, 2015, the Company filed a Form S-1 registration statement that relates to the offer and resale of up to 3,762,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, by the selling stockholders (“Selling Stockholders”) listed in the Form S-1 registration statement (“Selling Stockholders”), issuable to such stockholders upon the conversion of shares of the Company’s preferred stock or exercise of an aggregate of 1,800,000 warrants which the Company sold to investors in a private placement, or exercise of an aggregate of 162,000 warrants which the Company issued to its placement agent. In that private placement the Company sold an aggregate of 2,250 shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) for gross proceeds to the Company of $2,250,000. Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into 800 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) which results in an effective conversion price of $1.25 per share. The Preferred Stock has no dividend rights or liquidation preference. If dividends are declared on the Common Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends on an as-converted-to-common stock basis. In addition, in the private placement the Company issued to the investors warrants (“Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are exercisable through June 21, 2019. The shares of the Company’s common stock issuable on exercise of the Investor Warrants are registered under the Company’s Form S-1. H.C.

Overview


We are a development stage company. We were incorporated in Delaware on August 29, 2012.  We are focused on developing and commercializing novel neurological therapies that can deliver therapeutics directly into specific regions of the brain. Our BranchPoint device can deliver therapeutics through the radial deployment of a flexible delivery catheter to large and anatomically complex brain targets through a single initial brain penetration. The BranchPoint device was developed at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) with $1.8 million in funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). It is based on a neurosurgical delivery platform that we have exclusively licensed from UCSF. It can enable new approaches to neurological therapy and be modified for the delivery of a broad range of novel therapeutics, such as stem cells to treat neurodegenerative diseases, chemotherapeutics to brain tumors and gene therapy vectors.


Furthermore, we have licensed a photoacoustic technology platform from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) that allows the detection, capturing and targeted destruction of metastatic circulating tumor cells (CTCs). We have completed a proof-of-concept clinical trial and are seeking a strategic partner for further clinical development


We cannot assure you that we will be successful with our development activities.  


Recent Developments


On June 15, 2015, we submitted a 510(k) application of our BranchPoint device to the FDA.  If our BranchPoint device obtained regulatory approval from the FDA, our device may be used for the delivery of therapeutics such as stem cells or gene therapy vectors.  We may then commercialize our BranchPoint device on our own or through a commercial collaboration with a strategic partner.


On June 22, 2015, we closed a private placement of 2,250 shares of our convertible preferred stock for gross proceeds to us of $2,250,000.  The convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. The Preferred Stock has no dividend rights or liquidation preference. If dividends are declared on the Common Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends on an as-converted-to-common stock basis.  In addition, we issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are exercisable for 4 years. We also issued an aggregate of 162,000 warrants that were similar to the warrants issued to investors and are exercisable at $1.50 per share for 4 years, to our placement agent and its designees.


On August 11, 2015 (“Effective Date”), we entered into an exclusive license agreement (“ACL License”) with Accelerating Combination Therapies LLC (“ACL”) in regards to the exclusive licensing of the issued U.S. Patent No. 8,895,597 B2 Combination of Local Temozolomide with Local BCNU (“Patent Rights”).  ACL is beneficially owned by the original Patent Rights holders and Inventors Violette Renard Recinos, Betty Tyler, Sarah Brem Sunshine and Henry Brem (“Inventors”) who assigned the Patent Rights to ACL.  Henry Brem is the Harvey Cushing Professor of Neurosurgery, Director of the Department of Neurosurgery, and Neurosurgeon-in-Chief at The Johns Hopkins University, and invented and developed Gliadel® wafers to deliver local chemotherapy to brain tumors.  Betty Tyler is Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University.  Violette Renard Recinos is a Neurosurgeon at the Cleveland Clinic.  The Patent Rights relate to formulations for chemotherapy, especially of brain tumors such as gliomas.  They claim a composition for treating an individual with a solid tumor comprising a combination of BCNU and temozolomide in a pharmaceutically acceptable polymeric carrier for sustained local administration of an effective amount of BCNU and temozolomide to reduce tumor size or prolong survival of the individual with greater efficacy or reduced systemic side effects as compared to administration of either BCNU or temozolomide systemically (“Invention”).  Under the ACL License, we obtained rights to develop and commercialize the Patent Rights, and have been granted the right to sublicense to third parties. The ACL License requires us to initiate a first human clinical trial within 30 months and to pay ACL royalties and other consideration which includes (i) a license issue fee of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued within 6 months after the Effective Date; (ii) reimbursement of past patent expenses of $19,392; (iii) license maintenance fees of $8,000 annually until the first commercial sale; (iv) running royalties of 4% of net sales; and (v) certain minimum annual royalties and milestone payments.  The ACL License remains in effect from the Effective



11





Date until expiration of the Patent Rights.  For a full description of payment obligations and the ACL License itself, the license agreement is filed and can be reviewed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K as filed on August 12, 2015.


Liquidity and Capital Resources and Plan of Operation


The reader is referred to our financial statements included elsewhere herein.  As of June 30, 2015 we had $2,350,027 in cash and cash equivalents. Our current plan is to continue the development of two programs in our pipeline.  


1.

We submitted a 510(k) application of our BranchPoint device to the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) on June 15, 2015.  If our BranchPoint device obtained regulatory approval from the FDA, our device may be used for the delivery of therapeutics such as stem cells or gene therapy vectors.  We may then commercialize our BranchPoint device on our own or through a commercial collaboration with a strategic partner.


2.

We are developing our ACX-31 program which could deliver chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, directly to brain cancer sites.  Temozolomide is a generic, approved chemotherapy drug that is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme concomitantly with radiotherapy and then as maintenance treatment.  Local delivery of temozolomide has been demonstrated to be superior to oral administration in an animal model.  In the scientific publication Brem S, Tyler BM, Li K, Pradilla G, Legnani F, Caplan J, et al. Local delivery of temozolomide by biodegradable polymers is superior to oral administration in a rodent glioma model. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2007;60:643-50., it was demonstrated that that intracranial concentrations of temozolomide increased threefold compared with orally delivered temozolomide. In a rodent glioma model, animals treated with a single temozolomide polymer (50% w/w) had a median survival of 28 days (P < 0.001 vs. controls, P < 0.001 vs. oral treatment), whereas animals treated with oral temozolomide had a median survival of 22 days compared to control animals (median survival of 13 days). Animals treated with two temozolomide polymers (50% w/w) had a median survival of 92 days (P < 0.001 vs. controls, P < 0.001 vs. oral treatment). The percentage of long-term survivors (LTS) for groups receiving intracranial temozolomide ranged from 25 to 37.5%; there were no LTS with oral temozolomide treatment. Animals treated with radiation therapy (XRT) and intracranial temozolomide (median survival not reached, LTS = 87.5%) demonstrated improved survival compared to those with intracranial temozolomide alone (median survival, 41 days; LTS = 37.5%), or oral temozolomide and XRT (median survival, 43 days, LTS = 38.9%).  


The development of our programs is estimated to cost approximately $5-7 million over 4-5 years as a standalone company. However, we may seek to pursue a strategic collaboration partnership which may accelerate the development timeline, share expenses, and also provide access to ex-US markets.  The development of our programs may also cost substantially more than $5-7 million and may require a substantially longer development timeline than 4-5 years.  Higher development expenses and delays may be caused by but are not limited to sub-optimal product performance and continued product optimization cycles, adverse clinical results and repeat of clinical trials, or delays of an FDA approval.  In such a scenario, we may not be able to secure sufficient funding or a strategic collaboration partnership and could cease operations under such circumstances.


We are actively seeking additional capital investment.  We cannot assure you that we will have access to the necessary funding or that if available it will be available on terms that are not dilutive to our present shareholders. If the funding is not available, we may have to severely curtail or cease operations.


Results of Operations


Revenues


We had no revenues as a development stage company for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Operating Expenses




12





Depreciation and Amortization Expenses:  Depreciation and Amortization expenses were $20,940 and $3,376 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is due to the purchase of equipment required to support the development of our prototype device. The cost of the equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.


Research and Development:  Research and development expenses were $234,253 and $40,512 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is due to the preparation of the 510(k) submission of our BranchPoint device to the FDA.


General and Administrative:  General and administrative expenses were $603,254 and $61,833 for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is due to the share issuance to our investor relations and media consultants in connection with their consulting agreements.


Net Losses


We had net losses of $890,692 and $123,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is due to the preparation of the 510(k) submission of our BranchPoint device to the FDA and the share issuance to our investor relations and media consultants in connection with their consulting agreements.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


As a smaller reporting company” (as defined by §229.10(f)(1)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act 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.


We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who is also our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.


In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Management



13





has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:


1.  We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures.  Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the quarter ending June 30, 2015.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.


2.  We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.


To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:


 

1.

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

 

 

 

 

2.

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and

 

 

 

 

3.

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


As of the end of our most recent quarter, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as of March 31, 2015,



14





such internal control over financial reporting was not effective.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.


The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives of having segregation of the initiation of transactions, the recording of transactions and the custody of assets.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of June 30, 2015.


Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.


This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this annual report.


Management's Remediation Initiatives


In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:


We will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives of having separate individuals perform (i) the initiation of transactions, (ii) the recording of transactions and (iii) the custody of assets.  Second, we will create a senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements of accounting information.  Third, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.


Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.  Due to our small size and limited resources we could experience delays in implementation.

The Preferred Stock has no dividend rights or liquidation preference. If dividends are declared on the Common Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends on an as-converted-to-common stock basis.  In addition, we issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are exercisable for 4 years.
