Independent Auditors’ Report

 

To the Board of Directors

IThenaPharma Inc

 

Report on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of IThenaPharma Inc (the “Company”) which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity/(deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from inception (September 3, 2014) to December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IThenaPharma Inc as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from inception (September 3, 2014) to December 31, 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that IThenaPharma Inc will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, and our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

IThenaPharma Inc

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

 

IThenaPharma Inc (the “Company”) is a biotechnology company that focuses on marketing a fixed dose combination drug treating osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The Company is also working on combining the drug with a therapeutic drug monitoring technology from Autotelic Inc. (“Autotelic”), a related party, to develop a drug/device combination treatment.

 

The Company was incorporated on September 3, 2014, and is based in City of Industry, California.

 

In November 2016, the Company changed its fiscal year from March to December. The financial data in the accompanying financial statements are presented based on the fiscal year ending December.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

 

Unaudited Interim Presentation

 

The financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and for such nine-month ended are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and results of its operations and cash flows for the nine-month ended. The results for the nine-month ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2016, or for other interim periods or future years.

 

Going Concern and Plan of Operations

 

In February 2015, the Company successfully raised capital from its founder. The capital was raised through the issuance of shares totaling $1,000,000 (Note 4).

IThenaPharma Inc

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Going Concern and Plan of Operations (continued)

 

If the Company pursues additional clinical trials other than those planned for current product candidates, or if the Company adds additional product candidates prior to the end of the calendar year 2017. The Company will need to raise additional capital, if the Company is to fund future operations to the point where the Company is able to generate positive cash flow from the sales or out-licensing of drug candidates, the Company also will need to raise additional capital. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and results of development efforts, the potential expansion of current development programs, potential new development programs and related general and administrative support, as well as the overall condition of capital markets including capital markets for development-stage biopharmaceutical companies. Management anticipates that the Company will seek to fund operations through public and private equity and debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration or licensing agreements. The Company cannot assure that anticipated additional financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Although the Company was successful in obtaining financing through equity securities offerings in February 2015, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so in the future.

 

No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalent as of September 30, 2016 (unaudited), December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 (unaudited), and December 31, 2014.

 

The Company deposits its cash with major financial institution and may at times exceed the federally insured limit. At September 30, 2016, December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had $0 (unaudited), $11,848, $51,276 (unaudited), and $0, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses were $322,317 and $0 for the year ended on December 31, 2015 and for the period from inception (September 3, 2014) to December 31, 2014, respectively, and were $101,680 (unaudited), and $258,429 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Research and development expenses include compensation and related overhead for employees and consultants involved in research and development and the cost of materials purchased for research and development.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based on the guidance of Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The Company also analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liability and equity under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying value reported for cash equivalents, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses approximated their respective fair values at each balance sheet date due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Management has concluded that it is not practical to determine the estimated fair value of due to related party due to its nature.

IThenaPharma Inc

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (unaudited) and 2015 (unaudited). There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis for the year ended on December 31, 2015 and for the period from inception (September 3, 2014) to December 31, 2014.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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 tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates.

 

Under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as a result of adopting the provisions of ASC 740.

 

The Company recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and considerations of the relevant taxing authorities; administrative practice and precedents. The Company completed its analysis of uncertain tax positions in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and determined no amounts were required to be recognized in the financial statements at September 30, 2016 (unaudited), December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 (unaudited), and December 31, 2014.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Shared-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). This guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. This update requires lessees to recognize at the lease commencement date a lease liability which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and right-of-use assets, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. This update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Applying a full retrospective transition approach is not allowed. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In January 2016, FASB ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The Update intends to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial instruments with more decision-useful information and addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This new standard affects all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. Entities should apply the amendments as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, including disclosure requirement, should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the update. ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of ASC Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, ASC 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the ASC 2016-01 earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for measurement-period adjustments related to business combinations. Currently, an acquiring entity is required to retrospectively adjust the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill during the measurement period, as well as revise comparative information for prior periods presented within financial statements as needed, including revising income effects, such as depreciation and amortization, as a result of changes made to the balance sheet amounts of the acquiree. Such adjustments are required when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities. The measurement period is the period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust the balance sheet amounts recognized for a business combination (generally up to one year from the date of acquisition). The changes eliminate the requirement to make such retrospective adjustments, and, instead require the acquiring entity to record these adjustments in the reporting period they are determined. Additionally, the changes require the acquiring entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period income by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the balance sheet amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. These changes were to become effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. These changes created a comprehensive framework for all entities in all industries to apply in the determination of when to recognize revenue, and, therefore, supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition requirements and guidance. This framework is expected to result in less complex guidance in application while providing a consistent and comparable methodology for revenue recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year, making these changes effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Note 6 - Income Taxes (continued)

 

 

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company’s total deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2016 (unaudited), December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015 (unaudited), and December 31, 2014 are $0 for all periods, respectively. The Company’s deferred tax assets consist of the tax effect of net operating loss for U.S. federal and state tax returns, which are estimated to be $1,108,000 and $5,375 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from inception (September 3, 2014) to December 31, 2014, respectively, and were $1,223,000 (unaudited) and $1,107,000 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Company has identified federal and California state tax returns as tax jurisdictions. The periods the Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination for these jurisdictions are 2014 and 2015. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority nor has it been notified of an impending examination. The Company believes the income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon audit, and the Company does not anticipate any adjustment that would result in a material change to the Company’s financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

 

Note 7 - Subsequent Events (unaudited)

 

Warrants

 

In July 2016, the Company had issued 300,000 warrants to Autotelic Inc.’s employees for shares of the Company’s common stock with a strike price at $1.80 which is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock when the warrants were issued. The 300,000 warrants will vest annually beginning July 1, 2017 and ending July 1, 2019.

 

In connection with the Merger (see Note 7) the Company’s outstanding warrants were assumed by Marina Biotech, Inc (“Marina”) and converted into a warrant representing the right to purchase shares of Marina’s common stock, with the number of shares underlying such warrant and the exercise price thereof being adjusted by the exchange ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the next lowest number of whole shares.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events (unaudited) (continued)

 

Sale of Asset

 

On November 15, 2016, simultaneously with the merger with Marina Biotech, Inc., Autotelic acquired a technology asset (IT-101), and the Company’s investment of $579 (unaudited) in foreign entity from the Company. In exchange for the asset, Autotelic agreed to cancel its stock purchase warrant agreements, received all of the Company’s then cash balance as payment against the liabilities and agreed to assume the remaining debts and liabilities of the Company, including accounts payable of $71,560 (unaudited), accrued expenses of $11,470 (unaudited), due to related party of $5,375 (unaudited), other liabilities of $118,759 (unaudited), convertible note of $50,000 (unaudited), and accrued interest payable of $567 (unaudited). The Company recognized a gain of $257,252 (unaudited).

 

Merger

 

On November 15, 2016, the Company was acquired by Marina, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 15, 2016(the “Merger Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, without any action on the part of any shareholder, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, other than shares to be cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was converted into the right to receive 10.510708 shares of Marina’s common stock. The Company’s shareholders were not entitled to receive fractional shares in the Merger. Instead, a holder of the Company’s common stock that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Marina’s common stock in the Merger received one full additional share of Marina’s common stock.

 

As a result of the Merger, the former holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the completion of the Merger own approximately 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of Marina’s common stock following the completion of the Merger. The merger was accounted for as reverse merger for financial statement purposes.
