NOTE 1 - BUSINESS

 

Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (“Relmada” or the “Company”) (a Nevada corporation), is a clinical-stage, publicly traded biopharmaceutical company developing novel versions of proven drug products together with new molecules that potentially address areas of high unmet medical need in the treatment of pain. The Company has a diversified portfolio of four products at various stages of development including LevoCap ER, its abuse resistant, sustained release dosage form of the opioid analgesic levorphanol; d-Methadone, its N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor antagonist for neuropathic pain; BuTab, its oral dosage form of the opioid analgesic buprenorphine; and MepiGel, its orphan drug designated topical formulation of the local anesthetic mepivacaine.

  

Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (“RTI”) (a Delaware corporation) which was previously a private company commenced operations in May 2004. In May 2014, RTI completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Camp Nine, Inc., a publicly traded Nevada corporation that was formed in May 2012. In July 2014, we changed the name of Camp Nine, Inc. to Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. At the Share Exchange, RTI shareholders exchanged 10 shares of RTI common stock for one share of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Share Exchange, RTI’s shareholders acquired the majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock. RTI became the Company’s subsidiary.

 

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a “reverse merger" rather than a business combination, wherein Relmada is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The business and operations prior to the Share Exchange reflects that of RTI.

 

On August 12, 2015, the Company completed a one-for-five reverse stock and reduced the authorized common stock to 100,000,000 common shares. The consolidated financial statements reflects retroactive adjustments for the reverse stock split.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2015 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash deposits and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company's cash deposits are held at two high-credit-quality financial institutions. The Company's cash deposits at these institutions exceed federally insured limits.

 

Patents

 

Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are recorded as general and administrative expense and expensed as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Fixed assets are comprised of Computers and Software, Leasehold Improvements and Furniture and Fixtures. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Computers and software have an estimated useful life of three years. Furniture and Fixtures have an estimated useful life of approximately seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset and the lease term (approximately seven years).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts payable, derivative liabilities and note payable. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts payable, derivative liabilities and note payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.

 

A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

As required by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 820 - 10 Fair Value Measurement, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The estimated fair value of the derivative instruments which include warrants with down-round protection provisions is calculated with the Black Scholes option pricing model. Sensitivity Analysis for the Black-Scholes has many inputs and is subject to judgement which includes volatility. Volatility and the expected term is based upon the Company’s peer group and the expected term is based upon expiration date of the warrants.

Transfer of fair value of derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital upon exercise of warrants   -    (15,295,841)
Ending balance  $614,079   $24,466,995 

 

Derivatives

 

All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet date. Fair values for securities traded in the open market and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain. As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company had recognized a valuation allowance to the full extent of the Company’s net deferred tax assets since the likelihood of realization of the benefit does not meet the more likely than not threshold.

 

The Company files a U.S. Federal, various states and a local income tax returns. Uncertain tax positions taken on the Company’s tax returns will be accounted for as liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. There were no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015. The open tax years, subject to potential examination by the applicable taxing authority, for the Company are from 2012 through 2014.

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs primarily consist of research contracts for the advancement of product development, salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, and consultants. The Company expenses all research and development costs in the period incurred. The Company makes an estimate of costs in relation to clinical study contracts. The Company analyzes the progress of studies, including the progress of clinical studies and phases, invoices received and contracted costs when evaluating the adequacy of the amount expensed and the related prepaid asset and accrued liability. 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award over the requisite service period. The grant-date fair value of employee share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. Compensation expense for warrants granted to non-employees is determined by the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured, and is recognized over the service period. The expense is subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period until such warrants vest, and the fair value of such instruments, as adjusted, is expensed over the related vesting period. Adjustments to fair value at each reporting date may result in income or expense, depending upon the estimate of fair value and the amount of expense recorded prior to the adjustment. The Company reviews its agreements and the future performance obligation with respect to the unvested warrants for its vendors or consultants. When appropriate, the Company will expense the unvested warrants at the time when management deems the service obligation for future services has ceased. 

 

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net income or loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of Class A convertible preferred stock, restricted stock, warrants for the purchase of common stock and stock options.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the nine months ended March 31, 2015, potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS for the nine months ended March 31, 2016:

 

   Nine months ended
March 31, 2016
 
   Net       Per Share 
   Income   Shares   Amount 
Basic EPS  $342,700    11,457,789   $0.03 
Dilutive effect of exercise of options   -    2,530    (0.00)
Dilutive effect of exercise of warrants   -    669,449    (0.00)

Diluted EPS  $342,700    

12,137,518

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net income or (loss) per share, as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The update will require management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company will be required to disclose that fact, along with managements’ evaluation of the effectiveness of its plan to alleviate that doubt. The update defines substantial doubt as when it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. The assessment and disclosure requirements, if applicable, will be required quarterly. The update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. The Company does not expect this update to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on the results of consolidated operations, consolidated financial position, or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

As required by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 820 - 10 Fair Value Measurement, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities included B warrants and agent warrants that have a down-round protection provision was calculated with the Black-Scholes Option pricing model

 

The following is a summary of the assumptions used in the valuation model of the derivative liabilities at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015:

 

    March  31,     June 30,  
    2016     2015  
Common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants     2,574,570       2,574,570  
Market value of common stock on measurement date (1)   $ 1.70     $ 10.15  
Exercise price   $ 7.50 and 11.25     $ 7.50 and 11.25  
Risk free interest rate (2)     0.87 %     1.6 %
Expected life in years     3.19       3.9  
Expected volatility (3)     77 %     70 %
Expected dividend yields (4)     None       None  

 

(1) The market value is the calculated fair value of the common stock pursuant to the valuation technique as described above.
(2) The risk-free interest rate was determined by management using the applicable Treasury Bill as of the measurement date.
(3) The historical trading volatility was determined by calculating the volatility of the Company’s peer group.
(4) The Company does not expect to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Exercise of warrants for cash

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, shareholders from the May and June 2014 equity offerings exercised warrants to purchase 2,033,915 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $13,423,800, net of approximately $1,830,500 of offering costs.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, three consultants exercised their warrants to purchase 4,800 shares of common stock. The Company received proceeds of $19,200.

 

Exercise of warrants for non-cash

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued approximately 1,094,000, shares of common stock resulting from the exercise on a non-cash basis of approximately 1,138,000 warrants.

 

Common stock issued for services

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company issued 63,329 and 75,000 shares of common stock for consulting services, respectively, that had a fair market of approximately $204,500 and approximately $1,110,000, respectively, based upon the stock price at the date of issuances. The Company recorded stock-based compensation to general and administrative expense.

  

Options

 

In December 2014, the Board of Directors adopted and the shareholders approved Relmada’s 2014 Stock Option and Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which allows for the granting of common stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and incentive and nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to designated employees, non-employee directors, and consultants and advisors. The Plan allows for the granting of 1,611,769 options or stock awards. In August 2015, the board approved an amendment to the Plan. Among other things, the Plan Amendment updates the definition of “change of control” and provides for accelerated vesting of all awards granted under the plan in the event of a change of control of the Company. At March 31, 2016, no stock appreciation rights have been issued. Stock options are exercisable generally for a period of 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over four years. As of March 31, 2016, 683,595 shares were available for future grants under the Plan.

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants. The price of common stock prior to the Company being public was determined from a third party valuation. The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected volatility was based upon its peer group. The Company routinely reviews its calculation of volatility changes in future volatility, the Company’s life cycle, its peer group, and other factors.

 

The Company uses the simplified method for share-based compensation to estimate the expected term for employee option awards for stock-based compensation in its option-pricing model. The Company uses the contractual term for non-employee options to estimate the expected term, for share-based compensation in its option-pricing model.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company granted three directors options to purchase 77,295 shares of common stock in aggregate. The options have a ten year term and exercise prices of $3.45 to $8.45 per share. 25% of the options vest on the one year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining options vest quarterly over the following 3 years. The fair value of the options at the grant date was approximately $2.28 to $5.59 per share using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business.  Except as disclosed below, the Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Lawsuit Brought by a Former Officer: In 2014, Relmada dismissed with prejudice its lawsuit against Najib Babul, which had sought to compel Mr. Babul, Relmada’s former President, to account for questionable expenditures of Relmada funds made while Babul controlled the Company. Relmada’s decision to surrender its claims was informed by the fact that Babul came forward with plausible explanations for some of the expenditures, and the fact that, because Babul was a former officer and director of Relmada being sued for his conduct in office, the Company was required to advance his expenses of the litigation; hence, Relmada was paying all the lawyers and consultants on both sides of the dispute. Relmada also agreed to reinstate certain stock purchase warrants in Babul’s name, which had been cancelled during the pendency of the litigation, and offered Babul the right to exchange his shares in RTI for shares in the Company.

 

Babul has brought a second lawsuit against Relmada. Ruling on Relmada’s motion, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed Babul’s claims for breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and left intact his claims for defamation, and wrongful use of civil process. Management believes that the Company has good defenses to all of Babul’s claims, and that the outcome of the Babul litigation, even if unfavorable, would not materially affect the Company’s operations or financial position. However, litigation is an inherently uncertain process, and there can be no assurances with respect to either the outcome or the consequences of this litigation.

 

Proceeding with Laidlaw: On December 9, 2015, Relmada filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (the “Court”) against Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. and its two principals, Matthew Eitner and James Ahern (collectively, the “Defendants”), Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. v. Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., et al. (Case No. 15-cv-2338) (the “Lawsuit”). The Lawsuit alleges that the press release issued by the Defendants on December 4, 2015, which was subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Schedule 14A, contained materially misleading proxy statements regarding, among other things, Defendants’ ability to nominate directors at Relmada’s December 30, 2015 annual stockholders’ meeting (the “Meeting”), in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 14a-9. Relmada sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to enjoin the Defendants from continuing to disseminate false and misleading proxy statements.

 

On December 10, 2015, the Court issued a temporary restraining order and associated injunction to enjoin the Defendants from “continuing to disseminate false and misleading proxy materials” and require that Defendants, among other things, “immediately must retract or correct its false and misleading proxy materials” (the “Temporary Restraining Order”). The Temporary Restraining Order was set to expire on December 22, 2015, when the parties were scheduled to appear for a hearing before the Court.

 

On December 16, 2015, the Defendants filed an answer in response to the Lawsuit as well as a counterclaim against Relmada and its Board of Directors (the “Counterclaim”). The Counterclaim alleges that (i) Relmada has disseminated materially false and misleading proxy statements concerning Defendants’ previous actions and conduct, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 14a-9, and (ii) members of Relmada’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, approving certain changes to Relmada’s stockholder election procedures. The Counterclaim sought the dissolution of the Temporary Restraining Order and injunctive relief that would postpone the Meeting.

 

On December 22, 2015, after a hearing before the Court, the Court entered the Company’s requested preliminary injunction, ordering the Defendants to continue to comply with similar terms to the Temporary Restraining Order (the “Preliminary Injunction Order”). The Preliminary Injunction Order will remain in place pending a full trial on the merits.

 

On February 18, 2016, Relmada filed an amended complaint in connection with the Lawsuit. The amended complaint includes an additional legal claim based on the Defendants’ breach of the fiduciary duty that they owed to Relmada when the Defendants disclosed and mischaracterized confidential information that they acquired in their capacity as Relmada's investment banker. Relmada is also seeking monetary damages arising from fees and costs that it incurred responding to the Defendants’ false and misleading proxy materials in December 2015.

 

On April 4, 2016, Laidlaw filed a motion to dismiss Relmada’s amended complaint. On April 15, Relmada filed a partial motion to dismiss the Counterclaim and Laidlaw filed a motion to transfer venue to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

 

All litigations is an inherently uncertain process, and there can be no assurances with respect to either the outcome or the consequences of this litigation. The Company recorded no contingent liability or expense in associated with litigation during the nine months ended March 31, 2016.

Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (“Relmada” or the “Company”) (a Nevada corporation), is a clinical-stage, publicly traded biopharmaceutical company developing novel versions of proven drug products together with new molecules that potentially address areas of high unmet medical need in the treatment of pain. The Company has a diversified portfolio of four products at various stages of development including LevoCap ER, its abuse resistant, sustained release dosage form of the opioid analgesic levorphanol; d-Methadone, its N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor antagonist for neuropathic pain; BuTab, its oral dosage form of the opioid analgesic buprenorphine; and MepiGel, its orphan drug designated topical formulation of the local anesthetic mepivacaine.

  

Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (“RTI”) (a Delaware corporation) which was previously a private company commenced operations in May 2004. In May 2014, RTI completed a Share Exchange with Camp Nine, Inc., a publicly traded Nevada corporation that was formed in May 2012. In July 2014, we changed the name of Camp Nine, Inc. to Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. At the Share Exchange, RTI shareholders exchanged 10 shares of RTI common stock for one share of our common stock. As a result of the Share Exchange, RTI’s shareholders acquired the majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock and RTI became the Company’s subsidiary.

 

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a “reverse merger" rather than a business combination, wherein Relmada is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The business and operations prior to the Share Exchange reflects that of RTI.

 

On August 12, 2015, the Company completed a one-for-five reverse stock and reduced the authorized common share to 100,000,000 common shares. The consolidated financial statements reflect a retroactive adjustment for the reverse stock split.

 

We are developing drugs for the treatment of pain. We have product candidates with potential indications for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. One of our drug candidates also has commercial potential for opioid dependency therapy. As of now none of our drugs have been approved for sale in the United States or elsewhere. We have no commercial products nor do we have a sales or marketing infrastructure. In order to market and sell our products we must conduct clinical trials on patients and obtain regulatory approvals from appropriate regulatory agencies like the FDA in the United States and similar organizations elsewhere in the world. In order to optimize the use of resources the Company may seek strategic alliances and/or licensing arrangements to further clinical development and its commercial planning.

 

We have a diversified portfolio of four products at different stage of development for the treatment of pain. LevoCap ER, our most advanced product is a proprietary extended release (ER) dosage form of the potent opioid levorphanol in an abuse resistant drug delivery system. d-Methadone is the d optical isomer of racemic methadone and a non-competitive antagonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. NMDA antagonists have been shown to provide analgesia in patients with neuropathic pain. NMDA antagonists have also been shown to reduce tolerance or hyperalgesia to opioid analgesics. MepiGel is a proprietary topical non-greasy gel dosage form of the local anesthetic mepivacaine for the treatment of post herpetic neuralgia and other neuropathic pain conditions. We have received two FDA Orphan Drug Designations for MepiGel which provide for 7 years market exclusivity upon marketing, one each for “the treatment of painful HIV-associated neuropathy” and for “the management of post herpetic neuralgia.”, BuTab is an oral dosage form of the partial opioid agonist, buprenorphine for the treatment of chronic pain and opioid addiction.

d-Methadone (dextromethadone, REL-1017)

 

Our new chemical entity, d-Methadone (dextromethadone, REL-1017), is a novel, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of neuropathic pain. As a single isomer of racemic methadone, d-Methadone has been shown to possess NMDA antagonist properties with virtually no opioid activity at the expected therapeutic doses. The activation of NMDA receptors has been associated with neuropathic pain and it is expected that d-Methadone will have a role in pain management by blocking this activity. In contrast, racemic methadone is a long-acting narcotic producing typical opioid side effects at therapeutic doses and is used in the treatment of various pain states and as a substitution therapy in opioid addiction. In November 2014, Health Canada approved a Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) to conduct the first Phase I study with d-Methadone. This was a Single Ascending Dose (“SAD”) study and was followed by a Multiple Ascending Dose (“MAD”) study, both in healthy volunteers. The two studies were designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of d-Methadone in healthy, opioid-naïve subjects. The SAD study included single escalating oral doses of d-Methadone to determine the maximum tolerated dose. In the MAD study, healthy subjects received daily oral doses of d-Methadone for several days to assess its safety, pharmacokinetics and tolerability. In March 2015, d-Methadone demonstrated a safe profile with no dose limiting side effects after four cohorts were exposed to increasing higher doses. In April 2015, the Company received clearance from Health Canada to continue with dose escalation and explore higher single doses of d-Methadone. In June 2015, the Company successfully completed the SAD study and subsequently received a No Objection Letter (NOL) from Health Canada to conduct the MAD clinical study in August 2015. The MAD study was completed in January, 2016 and the results successfully demonstrated a potential therapeutic dosing regimen for d-Methadone with a very favorable side effect and tolerability profile. The data from these studies will inform the design of a subsequent Phase II proof of concept study in patients with neuropathic pain or other suitable indications.

 

LevoCap ER (REL-1015)

 

Our most-advanced novel version of a proven drug product, LevoCap ER (REL-1015), is an extended release, abuse deterrent, and proprietary formulation of the opioid analgesic levorphanol, which is pharmacologically differentiated from morphine, oxycodone, and other strong opioids for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment. In particular, levorphanol binds to all three opioid receptor subtypes involved in analgesia (mu, kappa, and delta), the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and the norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake pumps, whereas morphine is relatively selective for the mu subtype. Due to the selectivity of morphine for mu receptors compared to levorphanol's ability to interact more potently with other relevant receptor subtypes, levorphanol could achieve analgesia in patients resistant to other strong opioids. In clinical studies, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad spectrum of analgesic activity against many different types of pain including neuropathic pain, post-surgical pain, and chronic pain in patients refractory to other opioids. We continue to prepare to submit a request to the FDA to discuss the final regulatory and clinical plan for this product.

 

BuTab (REL-1028)

 

Our second-most-advanced novel version of a proven drug product, BuTab (REL-1028), represents novel formulations of oral, modified release buprenorphine as a potential therapeutic for both chronic pain and opioid dependence. Buprenorphine has been widely used by the sublingual and transdermal routes of administration, but was believed to be ineffective by the oral route because of poor oral bioavailability. We have completed a preclinical program to better define the pharmacokinetic profile of BuTab and to assess the time course of systemic absorption of buprenorphine using several different oral modified release formulations of buprenorphine in dogs, compared to an intravenous administration. Based on the results of this work, we obtained approval from Health Canada and initiated a Phase I pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers in the second quarter of 2015. This trial was completed in the fourth quarter of 2015. The absolute bioavailability of BuTab relative to intravenous (IV) administration exceeded published data with non-modified buprenorphine when administered orally and compares favorably with a currently marketed transdermal patch. There were no safety or tolerability issues. The data generated by this study will guide formulation optimization and inform the design of subsequent clinical pharmacology studies.

 

MepiGel (REL-1021)

 

MepiGel (REL-1021), is a proprietary topical dosage form of the local anesthetic mepivacaine for the treatment of painful peripheral neuropathies, such as painful diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia and painful HIV-associated neuropathy. Mepivacaine is an anesthetic (numbing medicine) that blocks the nerve impulses that send pain signals to the brain. It is chemically related to bupivacaine but pharmacologically related to lidocaine. Mepivacaine is currently indicated for infiltration, nerve block and epidural anesthesia. Relmada has received two FDA Orphan Drug Designations for mepivacaine, one each for “the treatment of painful HIV-associated neuropathy” and for “the management of postherpetic neuralgia,” or PHN. We have selected the formulations to be advanced into clinical studies for MepiGel after the evaluation of results from in vitro and ex vivo studies comparing various topical prototypes of mepivacaine that were conducted by MedPharm Ltd, a specialist formulation development company recognized internationally for its expertise in topical and transdermal products. Multiple toxicology studies were successfully conducted and completed in 2015

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 versus March 31, 2015

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $609,000 compared to $2,274,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a difference of approximately $1,665,800. The decrease was due to lower clinical trial expenses.

Total  $2,137,000    2,293,100    (156,100)

 

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $2,137,000 compared to $2,293,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $156,100. The decrease largely resulted from a combination of decrease in salaries and other office expenses of approximately $961,100 and increase in legal fees associated with the litigation proceeding with Laidlaw of approximately $494,500. 

 

Other Income (Expense) 

 

The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities was a non-cash unrealized gain of approximately $832,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to a non-cash unrealized gain of $2,102,600 for the comparable period in 2015.

 

The non-cash unrealized gain primarily resulted from the expiration of approximately 1,398,840 warrants in October 2014. The 2014 derivative liabilities included warrants sold with the May 2014 and June 2014 offerings. The derivative liability will decrease when warrants are exercised, expire or when the anti-dilution feature is eliminated. The anti-dilution feature is eliminated when the Company is up-listed to a National Exchange (NYSE or NASDAQ). The derivative liabilities are affected by factors that are subject to significant fluctuations and are not under the Company’s control. Therefore, the resulting effect upon our net income or loss is subject to significant fluctuations and will continue to be subject to significant fluctuations until the derivatives are reduced to zero, expire or are exercised. The accounting guidance applicable to these warrants requires the Company (assuming all other inputs to the pricing model remain constant) to record a non-cash loss when the Company’s stock price is rising and to record non-cash income when the Company’s stock price is decreasing.

 

Net Loss per Common Share 

 

The net loss for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $1,859,800 and $2,463,000 respectively. The Company had net loss of $(0.15) and $(0.23) per basic and diluted weighted average common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2016 versus the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $5,592,900 compared to $5,007,700 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of approximately $585,200. The increase was due to slightly greater clinical trial expenses.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $7,520,100 compared to $7,688,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of approximately $168,400.

Total  $7,520,200    7,688,500    (168,300)

 

The decrease primarily resulted from a combination of decrease in professional fees and other office expenses of approximately $2,190,200 and increase in legal fees associated with the litigation proceeding with Laidlaw of approximately $2,021,900.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities was a non-cash unrealized gain of $13,387,300 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to a non-cash unrealized loss of $14,175,900 for the comparable period in 2015. This resulted in an increase in unrealized gain of approximately $27,563,200 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the comparable period in 2015. The derivative liabilities included warrants sold with the May 2014 and June 2014 offerings. The derivative liability will decrease when warrants are exercised, expire or when the anti-dilution feature is eliminated. The anti-dilution feature is eliminated when the Company is up-listed to a National Exchange (NYSE or NASDAQ). The derivative liabilities are affected by factors that are subject to significant fluctuations and are not under the Company’s control. Therefore, the resulting effect upon our net income or loss is subject to significant fluctuations and will continue to be subject to significant fluctuations until the derivatives are reduced to zero, expire or are exercised. The accounting guidance applicable to these warrants requires the Company (assuming all other inputs to the pricing model remain constant) to record a non-cash loss when the Company’s stock price is rising and to record non-cash income when the Company’s stock price is decreasing.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

The net Income (loss) for the Company for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $343,000 and $(26,846,000) respectively. The Company had net income (loss) of $0.03 and $(2.78) per basic and diluted weighted average common share for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Liquidity

 

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through issuance of common stock and warrants and subordinated debt (converted to common stock). Since our inception, we have not generated any product revenue and do not anticipate generating any revenues for the foreseeable future. We have incurred losses from inception to March 31, 2016 of approximately $75,780,000 that includes non-cash charges of approximately $35,230,700. We have generated negative cash flows from operations since inception.

 

 19 
 

 

We will need to raise additional funds in order to continue our clinical trials. Insufficient funds may cause us to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development programs. We anticipate that with our cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2016, of $11,348,760, the Company can fund future operations until the end of the calendar year 2017. Our future capital needs and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the cost of clinical studies and other actions needed to obtain regulatory approval of our products in development. If additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of equity or debt securities or from bank or other loans or through strategic collaboration and/or licensing agreements. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact our growth plans and our financial condition or results of operations. Additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to our shareholders. 

 

On October 2, 2015, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”).  The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Registration Statement contained two prospectuses: (i) a base prospectus which covers the offering, issuance and sale by the Company of up to $200,000,000 of its common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units; and (ii) a sales agreement prospectus covering the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $75,000,000 of its common stock that may be issued and sold under a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co (“CF”). The Company cannot access any funds until the Company is up-listed to a National Stock Exchange.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

Our assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash and cash equivalents. Because of their liquidity, these assets are not directly affected by inflation. Because we intend to retain and continue to use our equipment, we believe that the incremental inflation related to replacement costs of such items will not materially affect our operations. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as those for employee compensation and contract services, which could increase our level of expenses and the rate at which we use our resources.

 

The following tables sets forth selected cash flow information for the periods indicated below:

 

   For the
Nine Months Ended
March 31,
 
    2016    2015 
Cash used in operating activities  $(10,318,235)  $(11,737,904)
Cash used in investing activities   (539,213)   (19,456)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities   (263,752)   13,149,413 
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents  $(11,121,200)  $1,392,053 

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash used in operating activities was $10,318,235 primarily due to the loss from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $13,113,100, partially offset by non-cash items including the change in fair value of derivative liabilities stock-based compensation expenses, common stock issued for services.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2015, cash used in operating activities was $11,737,904 primarily due to the net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, of approximately $26,846,000, partially offset by non-cash items including stock-based compensation expenses, common stock issued for services, the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, and depreciation of approximately $15,892,000. 

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, cash used in investing activities was $539,213 due to purchases of fixed assets. 

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, was $263,752. The payments were related to a note for directors’ and officers’ insurance policy. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, was approximately $13,149,000, primarily from warrant exercises of approximately $13,433,000.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually limited purposes. As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we were not involved in any SPE transactions.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Please refer to Note 9 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 under the heading Commitments and Contingencies. To our knowledge there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and all applicable U.S. GAAP accounting standards effective as of March 31, 2016 have been taken into consideration in preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Some of those estimates are subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following accounting policies and estimates have been highlighted as significant because changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could affect our consolidated financial statements:

 

Research and development expenses,
Stock-based compensation expenses; and
Fair value of derivative liabilities

 

We base our estimates, to the extent possible, on historical experience. Historical information is modified as appropriate based on current business factors and various assumptions that we believe are necessary to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and make changes when necessary. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risks as disclosed under the heading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” in the annual MD&A contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 except below.

 

Sales of the our common stock through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“CF”), if any, will be made on a National Exchange such as NASDAQ or the NYSE MKT LLC, on any other existing trading market for the common stock or to or through a market maker. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. CF will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell our common stock from time to time, based upon our instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). We will pay to CF in cash, upon the sale of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, an amount equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock.  We have also provided CF with customary indemnification rights.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). 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. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2016, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Legal 

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business.  Except as disclosed below, the Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Legal Proceedings

  

Lawsuit Brought by a Former Officer: In 2014, Relmada dismissed with prejudice its lawsuit against Najib Babul, which had sought to compel Mr. Babul, Relmada’s former President, to account for questionable expenditures of Relmada funds made while Babul controlled the Company. Relmada’s decision to surrender its claims was informed by the fact that Babul came forward with plausible explanations for some of the expenditures, and the fact that, because Babul was a former officer and director of Relmada being sued for his conduct in office, the Company was required to advance his expenses of the litigation; hence, Relmada was paying all the lawyers and consultants on both sides of the dispute. Relmada also agreed to reinstate certain stock purchase warrants in Babul’s name, which had been cancelled during the pendency of the litigation, and offered Babul the right to exchange his shares in RTI for shares in the Company.

Babul has brought a second lawsuit against Relmada. Ruling on Relmada’s motion, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed Babul’s claims for breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and left intact his claims for defamation, and wrongful use of civil process. Management believes thatthe Company has good defenses to all of Babul’s claims, and that the outcome of the Babul litigation, even if unfavorable, would not materially affect the Company’s operations or financial position. However, litigation is an inherently uncertain process, and there can be no assurances with respect to either the outcome or the consequences of this litigation.

 

Proceeding with Laidlaw: On December 9, 2015, Relmada filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (the “Court”) against Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. and its two principals, Matthew Eitner and James Ahern (collectively, the “Defendants”), Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. v. Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., et al. (Case No. 15-cv-2338) (the “Lawsuit”). The Lawsuit alleges that the press release issued by the Defendants on December 4, 2015, which was subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Schedule 14A, contained materially misleading proxy statements regarding, among other things, Defendants’ ability to nominate directors at Relmada’s December 30, 2015 annual stockholders’ meeting (the “Meeting”), in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 14a-9. Relmada sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to enjoin the Defendants from continuing to disseminate false and misleading proxy statements.

 

On December 10, 2015, the Court issued a temporary restraining order and associated injunction to enjoin the Defendants from “continuing to disseminate false and misleading proxy materials” and require that Defendants, among other things, “immediately must retract or correct its false and misleading proxy materials” (the “Temporary Restraining Order”). The Temporary Restraining Order was set to expire on December 22, 2015, when the parties were scheduled to appear for a hearing before the Court.

 

On December 16, 2015, the Defendants filed an answer in response to the Lawsuit as well as a counterclaim against Relmada and its Board of Directors (the “Counterclaim”). The Counterclaim alleges that (i) Relmada has disseminated materially false and misleading proxy statements concerning Defendants’ previous actions and conduct, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 14a-9, and (ii) members of Relmada’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, approving certain changes to Relmada’s stockholder election procedures. The Counterclaim sought the dissolution of the Temporary Restraining Order and injunctive relief that would postpone the Meeting.

 

On December 22, 2015, after a hearing before the Court, the Court entered the Company’s requested preliminary injunction, ordering the Defendants to continue to comply with similar terms to the Temporary Restraining Order (the “Preliminary Injunction Order”). The Preliminary Injunction Order will remain in place pending a full trial on the merits.

 

On February 18, 2016, Relmada filed an amended complaint in connection with the Lawsuit. The amended complaint includes an additional legal claim based on the Defendants’ breach of the fiduciary duty that they owed to Relmada when the Defendants disclosed and mischaracterized confidential information that they acquired in their capacity as Relmada's investment banker. Relmada is also seeking monetary damages arising from fees and costs that it incurred responding to the Defendants’ false and misleading proxy materials in December 2015.

 

On April 4, 2016, Laidlaw filed a motion to dismiss Relmada’s amended complaint. On April 15, Relmada filed a partial motion to dismiss the Counterclaim and Laidlaw filed a motion to transfer venue to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

  

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors under Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015.

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

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 16,665 shares of common stock having a fair market value of approximately $23,665 ($1.42 per share) in exchange for consulting services.

 

The Company determined that the securities described above were issued in transactions that were exempt from the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a) (2) thereunder. This determination was based on the non-public manner in which we offered the securities and on the representations of the recipients of the securities, which included, in pertinent part, that they were “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, that they were acquiring such securities for investment purposes for their own account and not with a view toward resale or distribution, and that they understood such securities may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
