FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to raise additional capital to support our clinical development program and other operations, our ability to develop products of commercial value and to identify, discover and obtain rights to additional potential product candidates, our ability to protect and maintain our intellectual property and the ability of our licensors to obtain and maintain patent protection for the technology or products that we license from them, the outcome of research and development activities, our reliance on third-parties, competitive developments, the effect of current and future legislation and regulation and regulatory actions, as well as other risks described more fully in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below, under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein and those identified under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2018. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

As a result of these and other factors, we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation


On January 19, 2018, the Company announced a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten. The reverse stock split took effect at 11 p.m. ET on January 19, 2018, and the Company’s common stock began to trade on a post-split basis at the market open on January 22, 2018. During the Company’s annual stockholders meeting held June 29, 2017, stockholders approved the Company’s reverse stock split and granted the board of directors the authority to implement and determine the exact split ratio within a specified range. When the reverse stock split became effective, every 10 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. Effecting the reverse stock split reduced the number of issued and outstanding common stock from approximately 42 million shares to approximately 4.2 million. It also subsequently adjusted outstanding options issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock.


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.


The consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2018 (the “2017 Annual Report”).


On April 28, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of an 80% controlling interest in Pelican Therapeutics, Inc. (“Pelican”), a related party prior to acquisition. Operations of Pelican are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the acquisition date.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 include the accounts of Heat Biologics, Inc. (“the Company”), and its subsidiaries, Heat Biologics I, Inc. (“Heat I”), Heat Biologics III, Inc. (“Heat III”), Heat Biologics IV, Inc. (“Heat IV”), Heat Biologics GmbH, Heat Biologics Australia Pty Ltd. and Zolovax. Additionally, as of the six months ended June 30, 2018 the accompanying consolidated financials include Pelican. The functional currency of the entities located outside the United States is the applicable local currency (the foreign entities). Assets and liabilities of the foreign entities are translated at period-end exchange rates.  Statement of operations accounts are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company held a 92.5% controlling interest in Heat I and an 80% controlling interest in Pelican. All other subsidiaries are wholly owned. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recognized $161,994 in net loss non-controlling interest for Heat I and $241,201 in net loss non-controlling interest for Pelican. The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in these subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the Company presents non-controlling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity on its consolidated balance sheets and reports non-controlling interest net loss under the heading “net loss – non-controlling interest” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $76.4 million as of June 30, 2018 and a net loss of approximately $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and has not generated significant revenue or positive cash flows from operations. In May 2018, through a public offering, the Company raised approximately $18.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses, and an additional $4.8 million through the exercise of 3,054,667 warrants. On April 28, 2017, the acquisition of an 80% controlling interest in Pelican, a related party prior to acquisition, was completed. Pelican has been awarded a $15.2 million grant to fund preclinical and some clinical activities from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (“CPRIT”). The CPRIT grant is subject to customary CPRIT funding conditions. The Company believes the acquisition aligns its strategic focus and strengthens its position in the T-cell activation arena.


Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash consists of deposits held by the US Patent and Trademark Office.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, useful lives of fixed assets, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Actual results may differ from those estimates.


Segments


The Company has one reportable segment - the development of immunotherapies designed to activate and expand a patient's T-cell mediated immune system against cancer.


Business Combinations


The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions.

 

Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from acquired patented technology. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (see Note 2).


Goodwill and In-Process Research and Development


The Company classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization and (3) goodwill. The Company determines the useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets after considering specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors the Company considers when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, and other economic facts; including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized, primarily on a straight-line basis, over their estimated useful lives.

HEAT BIOLOGICS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible assets that are deemed to have indefinite lives, including goodwill, are reviewed for impairment annually on the anniversary of the acquisition, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangibles, other than goodwill, consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as goodwill, are not amortized. The Company will qualitatively test the carrying amounts of goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate evidence a potential impairment exists, using a fair value-based test. No impairment existed at June 30, 2018.


In-process research and development, or IPR&D, assets are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. IPR&D assets represent the fair value assigned to technologies that the Company acquires, which at the time of acquisition have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use. During the period that the assets are considered indefinite-lived, they are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the IPR&D assets are less than their carrying amounts. If and when development is complete, which generally occurs upon regulatory approval and the ability to commercialize products associated with the IPR&D assets, these assets are then deemed definite-lived and are amortized based on their estimated useful lives at that point in time. If development is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full or partial impairment charge related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of carrying value of the IPR&D assets over fair value. No impairment existed at June 30, 2018.


Contingent Consideration

 

Consideration paid in a business combination may include potential future payments that are contingent upon the acquired business achieving certain milestones in the future (“contingent consideration”). Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date using the estimated future cash outflows based on the probability of meeting future milestones. The milestone payments will be made upon the achievement of clinical and commercialization milestones as well as single low digit royalty payments and payments upon receipt of sublicensing income. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, the Company will reassess the actual consideration earned and the probability-weighted future earn-out payments at each balance sheet date. Any adjustment to the contingent consideration liability will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Contingent consideration liabilities are presented in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 2).


Revenue Recognition


Effective January 1, 2018, the Company has adopted on a modified retrospective basis Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606.


The Company’s sole source of revenue is grant revenue related to the CPRIT Contract, which is being accounted for under ASC 606. ASC 606 introduces a new framework for analyzing potential revenue transactions by identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.


The performance obligations of the CPRIT Contract include developing a human TNFRSF25 agonist antibody for use in cancer patients through research and development efforts and a noncommercial license from CPRIT-funded research to CPRIT and other government agencies and institutions of higher education in Texas.


Management has concluded that the license and R&D services should be combined into a single performance obligation as both are highly interdependent - a license cannot be effectively granted without the corresponding research basis and CPRIT cannot benefit from the license without the R&D services and are therefore not capable of being distinct.

The CPRIT grant covers a three-year period from June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2019, for a total grant award of up to $15.2 million. CPRIT advances grant funds upon request by the Company consistent with the agreed upon amounts and schedules as provided in the contract. The first tranche of funding of $1.8 million was received in May 2017, and a second tranche of funding of $6.5 million was received in October 2017. The next tranche of funding is expected to be requested and received in late 2018. Funds received are reflected in deferred revenue as a liability until revenue is earned.  Grant revenue is recognized when qualifying costs are incurred.


Deferred Revenue


As of June 30, 2018, deferred revenue is comprised of proceeds of $4.9 million received from CPRIT for which the costs have not been incurred or the conditions of the award have not been met and $0.2 million of grant funds received from an economic development grant agreement with the City of San Antonio (“Economic Development Grant”), for the purpose of defraying costs toward the purchase of laboratory equipment. As of June 30, 2018, the deferred revenue balance was $5.1 million with $3.4 million recognized as revenue from CPRIT since the CPRIT contract inception.


Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets


The Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets consists primarily of the amount paid in advance for cGMP production of Pelican’s PTX-35 antibody and PTX-15 fusion protein, as well as Chemistry Manufacturing and Control (“CMC”) material for the Company’s clinical trial studies for HS-110.


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that utilization is not presently more likely than not.


Significant Accounting Policies


The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these interim financial statements are disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K and have not changed significantly since such filing.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07: Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, and as a result, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees will be substantially aligned. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, early adoption is permitted but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company has not determined the impact of this standard and does not plan early adoption of this standard.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) to clarify the definition of a business, which is fundamental in the determination of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses combinations. The updated guidance requires that in order to be considered a business the integrated set of assets and activities acquired must include, at a minimum, an input and process that contribute to the ability to create output. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets, it is not considered a business, and therefore would not be considered a business combination. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not determined the impact of this standard and does not plan early adoption of this standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)—Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires the statement of cash flows to be a reconciliation between beginning and ending cash balances inclusive of restricted cash balances. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2018. The adoption of this standard resulted in the removal of changes in Restricted Cash from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of $1,122 and $98,879 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and inclusion of these amounts as part of the starting and ending cash balances.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requiring lessees to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (2) a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company currently anticipates that upon adoption of the new standard, ROU assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in amounts that will be immaterial to the consolidated balance sheets.


2. Acquisition of Pelican Therapeutics


On April 28, 2017, the Company consummated the acquisition of 80% of the outstanding equity of Pelican, a related party, and Pelican became a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. Operations of Pelican are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the acquisition date. Pelican is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of monoclonal antibody and fusion protein-based therapies that are designed to activate the immune system. In exchange for 80% of the outstanding capital stock of Pelican on a fully diluted basis, the Company paid to the Pelican Stockholders that executed the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Participating Pelican Stockholders”) an aggregate of $0.5 million minus certain liabilities (the “Cash Consideration”), and issued to the Participating Pelican Stockholders 133,106 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock representing 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the date of the initial execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Consideration”). During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Cash Consideration of approximately $0.3 million was distributed to the Participating Pelican Stockholders and the remainder of approximately $0.2 million for certain Pelican liabilities not satisfied was recognized as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.  


Under the agreement, the Company is also obligated to make future payments based on the achievement of certain clinical and commercialization milestones, as well as low single digit royalty payments and payments upon receipt of sublicensing income:


(1)

$2,000,000 upon Pelican’s dosing of the first patient in its first Phase 1 trial for an oncology indication;

(2)

$1,500,000 upon Pelican’s dosing of the first patient in its first Phase 2 trial for an oncology indication;

(3)

$3,000,000 upon successful outcome of the first Phase 2 trial for an oncology indication;

(4)

$6,000,000 upon Pelican’s dosing of the first patient in its first Phase 3 trial for an oncology indication;

(5)

$3,000,000 upon Pelican’s dosing of the first patient in its first Phase 3 trial for a non- oncology indication;

(6)

$7,500,000 upon successful outcome of the first Phase 3 trial for an oncology indication;

(7)

$3,000,000 upon successful outcome of the first Phase 3 trial for a non-oncology indication;

(8)

$7,500,000 upon acceptance of a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for an oncology indication;

(9)

$3,000,000 upon acceptance of a BLA submission for a non-oncology indication;

(10)

$7,500,000 upon first product indication approval in the United States or Europe for an oncology indication;

(11)

$3,000,000 upon first product indication approval in the United States or Europe for a non-oncology indication.


The fair value of these future milestone payments is reflected in the contingent consideration account under long term liabilities on the balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted income approach, at a discount of 6.49% based on the median yield of publicly traded non-investment grade debt of companies in the pharmaceutical industry. The Company performs an analysis on a quarterly basis and as of June 30, 2018, the Company determined the change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $539,980 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

The Company has recorded the assets purchased and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805: Business Combinations. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired resulting in goodwill of approximately $2.2 million. The identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of in-process R&D of approximately $5.9 million. The estimated fair value of the IPR&D was determined using a probability-weighted income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value. The projected cash flows were based on certain key assumptions, including estimates of future revenue and expenses, taking into account the stage of development of the technology at the acquisition date and the time and resources needed to complete development. The Company utilized corporate bond yield data observed in the bond market to develop the discount rate utilized in the cash flows that have been probability adjusted to reflect the risks of product commercialization, which the Company believes are appropriate and representative of market participant assumptions. Operations of the acquired entity are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date. 


The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities as follows:

Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition arises largely from synergies expected from combining the operations. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.


In-process R&D assets are treated as indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated R&D program, at which time the appropriate useful lives will be determined.


The Company calculated the fair value of the non-controlling interest acquired in the acquisition as 20% of the equity interest of Pelican, adjusted for a minority interest discount.


In May 2016, Pelican was awarded a $15.2 million CPRIT Grant from CPRIT for development of Pelican’s lead product candidate, PTX-35. The CPRIT Grant is expected to allow Pelican to develop PTX-35 through a 70-patient Phase 1 clinical trial. The Phase 1 clinical trial will be designed to evaluate PTX-35 in combination with other immunotherapies. The CPRIT Grant is subject to customary CPRIT funding conditions including a matching funds requirement where Pelican will match $0.50 for every $1.00 from CPRIT. Consequently, Pelican is required to raise $7.6 million in matching funds over the three year project.


Pelican has contributed net revenue of $1.9 million and net loss of $1.2 million, respectively, which are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other payables approximate fair value due to their short maturities.


As a basis for determining the fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company utilizes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


Level I – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level II – Observable inputs, other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.


Level III – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety 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 entire fair value measurement requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company's cash equivalents are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy.


The following table provides a rollforward of the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements:

Change in fair value

$

The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration of $551,098 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects an increase in the probability of reaching Pelican’s dosing of the first patient in its first Phase 1 trial for an oncology indication based on the passage of time and impact of progress in antibody manufacturing. Adjustments associated with the change in fair value of contingent consideration are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2.84. The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018:


Dividend yield

 

 

0.0

%

Expected volatility

 

 

83.96

%

Risk-free interest rate

 

 

2.34

%

Expected lives (years)

 

 

6.3

 


The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates at the time of the grant whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company used an average historical stock price volatility based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of comparable companies that have issued stock options with substantially similar terms, as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. Expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock option grants are expected to be outstanding. The Company elected to utilize the “simplified” method to estimate the expected term. Under this approach, the weighted-average expected life is presumed to be the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option.


Expected dividend yield was considered to be 0% in the option pricing formula since the Company had not paid any dividends and had no plans to do so in the future. The forfeiture rate was considered to be none as the options vest on a monthly basis.

9. Financing


Public Offering


On May 7, 2018, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) in which it issued and sold (i) 4,875,000 shares of common stock together with a number of common warrants to purchase 2,437,500 shares of its common stock, and (ii) 9,500,000 pre-funded warrants, with each pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, together with a number of common warrants to purchase 4,750,000 shares of its common stock. The public offering price was $1.44 per share of common stock, $1.43 per pre-funded warrant and $0.01 per common warrant. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $18.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The common stock warrants expire five years after date of issuance and have an exercise price of $1.584 per share. As of June 30, 2018, 3,054,667 common stock warrants have been exercised for an additional $4.8 million of proceeds to the Company and all pre-funded warrants have been exercised. In connection with the offering the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated May 2, 2018 with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (A.G.P.), as representative of the underwriters. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

At the Market Offering


On January 18, 2018, the Company entered into a Common Stock Sales Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, (“HCW”) as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, at its option, shares of its common stock, par value $0.0002 per share for the sale of up to $3,658,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock and on March 15, 2018 issued a prospectus supplement for an additional aggregate offering price of up to $1,300,000. Sales of shares of common stock have been made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-221201) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), dated November 13, 2017. As of June 30, 2018 the Company sold an aggregate of 1,403,367 shares of common stock under the HCW Sales Agreement resulting in net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million.


Common Stock Warrants


In connection with the May 7, 2018 public offering, the Company issued 9,500,000 pre-funded warrants and 7,187,500 common stock warrants each of which are exercisable for one share of common stock. The pre-funded warrants had an exercise price of $0.01 per share and as of June 30, 2018 all pre-funded warrants have been exercised. The common stock warrants have an exercise price of $1.584 per share and expire five years from the issuance date. As of June 30, 2018, 3,054,667 common stock warrants have been exercised. The warrants have been accounted for as equity instruments. The fair value of the common stock warrants of approximately $7.8 million at the date of issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes Merton model which used the following inputs: term of 5 years, risk free rate of 2.78%, 0% dividend yield, volatility of 124.14%, and share price of $1.30 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock.


In connection with the March 23, 2017 public offering the Company issued warrants to purchase 682,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10.00 per share that expire five years from the issuance date. In connection with the Company’s July 23, 2013 initial public offering, the Company issued warrants to the underwriters for 12,500 shares of common stock issuable at $125.00 per share upon exercise that expire five years from the issuance date. On March 10, 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock to third parties in consideration for a private equity placement transaction of which 1,738 warrants remain outstanding. The warrants have an exercise price of $4.80 per share and expire ten years from the issuance date.


During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 3,054,667 common stock warrants have been exercised and no warrants were exercised during the same period in 2017. The Company has outstanding warrants to purchase 4,132,833 shares of common stock issuable at $1.584 per share, 296,159 shares of common stock issuable at $10.00 per share; warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock issuable at $125.00 per share; and warrants to purchase 1,738 shares of common stock issuable at $4.80 per share. These warrants do not meet the criteria required to be classified as liability awards and therefore are treated as equity awards.


10. Grant and Licensing Revenues


In June 2016, Pelican entered into a Cancer Research Grant Contract (“Grant Contract”) with CPRIT, under which CPRIT awarded a grant not to exceed $15.2 million for use in developing cancer treatments by targeting a novel T-cell costimulatory receptor (namely, TNFRSF25). The Grant Contract covers a three-year period from June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2019.


Upon commercialization of the product, the terms of the Grant Contract require Pelican to pay tiered royalties in the low to mid-single digit percentages. Such royalties reduce to less than one percent after a mid-single-digit multiple of the grant funds have been paid to CPRIT in royalties.


The Company recognized grant revenue of approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for qualified expenditures under the grant. The Company recognized grant revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2017 of approximately $0.4 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 revenue included an additional $0.02 million of research funding revenue for research and development services, provided to Shattuck Labs, Inc. which research funding agreement terminated January 31, 2017.


As of June 30, 2018, the Company had deferred revenue of $5.1 million for proceeds received from the CPRIT grant, but for which the costs had not been incurred or the conditions of the award had not been met.

12. Income Tax

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. 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. As of June 30, 2018, a full valuation allowance has been provided against certain deferred tax assets as it is currently deemed more likely than not that the benefit of such net tax assets will not be utilized. 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.


In accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company reflects in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements the benefit of positions taken in a previously filed tax return or expected to be taken in a future tax return only when it is considered ‘more-likely-than-not’ that the position taken will be sustained by a taxing authority. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits and correspondingly there is no impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate associated with these items. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties relating to uncertain income tax positions is to record them as a component of income tax expense in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had no such accruals.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Tax Act lowered the Federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and made numerous other tax law changes. The Company has measured deferred tax assets at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when these temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The Company is required to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment. Additional federal and state interpretive guidance is still forthcoming that could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or give rise to new deferred tax amounts. As such, the remeasurement of our deferred tax balance is provisional pending future guidance. The Company reasonably anticipates that any such guidance will be available prior to December 31, 2018.


13. Subsequent Events


On July 20, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors, approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company. The Amendment, which was adopted effective as of July 20, 2018, provides that at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having one-third (1/3) of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum.

 

On July 20, 2018, the previously scheduled 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company was adjourned due to the absence of a quorum due, in part, to lack of votes by shares held in certain European brokerage accounts. On August 13, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved October 2, 2018  as the new date of the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2018 (the “2017 Annual Report”). This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”


OVERVIEW


We are a biopharmaceutical company developing approaches to activate and co-stimulate a patient’s immune system against cancer. Our co-stimulatory antibody is designed to harness the body's natural antigen specific immune activation and tolerance mechanisms to reprogram immunity and provide a long-term, durable clinical effect. Our T-cell activating platform (TCAP) produces therapies designed to turn immunologically “cold” tumors “hot,” and can be administered in combination with checkpoint inhibitors and other immuno-modulators to increase clinical efficacy.  Unlike many other “patient specific” immunotherapy approaches, our drugs are “off-the-shelf,” which means that we can administer drug immediately without extracting patient material at a substantially lower cost of goods sold. Our TCAP product candidates from our ImPACT® and ComPACT platforms are produced from allogeneic cell lines expressing tumor-specific proteins common among cancers. We are currently enrolling patients in our Phase 2 clinical trial for advanced NSCLC, in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s nivolumab (Opdivo®). We also have numerous pre-clinical programs at various stages of development.


Heat’s pipeline includes two TCAPs, ImPACT® and ComPACT. The ImPACT® platform is based on product candidates that consist of live, allogeneic “off-the-shelf” genetically-modified, irradiated human cancer cells. These cells secrete a broad spectrum of Cancer Testis Antigens (“CTAs”), classified functionally as tumor specific neoantigens, chaperoned by the gp96 protein. Our ImPACT® technology achieves this by reprogramming live tumor cells to secrete gp96, to serve as a chaperone for tumor antigens to activate and expand T-cell immunity; thereby, transforming the allogeneic cells into machines that activate a robust “killer” CD8+ T cell immune attack against a patient’s cancer. Unlike autologous or “personalized” monotherapy approaches that either require the extraction of blood or tumor tissue from each patient or the creation of an individualized treatment, our product candidates are fully allogeneic, and do not require extraction of individual patient’s material or custom manufacturing. Because each patient receives the same treatment, we believe that our immunotherapy approach offers logistical, manufacturing and other cost benefits, compared to patient-specific or precision medicine approaches.


ComPACT our second TCAP, is a dual-acting immunotherapy designed to deliver T-cell activation and enhanced, T-cell specific co-stimulation in a single treatment. ComPACT helps unlock the body’s natural defenses and builds upon ImPACT® by also providing alternative co-stimulation targeting enhanced T-cell activation and expansion. It has the potential to simplify combination immunotherapy development with enhanced safety for oncology patients, as it is designed to deliver the gp96 heat shock protein with each selected tumor cell line’s neoantigens (CTAs) and a T-cell co-stimulatory fusion protein (e.g. OX40L) into a single intradermal treatment. ComPACT serves as a booster to expand the number of antigen-specific T-cells compared to co-stimulator alone, while also enhancing the activation of cancer antigen-specific CD8+ memory T-cells for an extended time after treatment. ComPACT has the potential to be a cost-effective approach compared to conventional immunotherapies.


Pelican, our subsidiary, is a biotechnology company focused on the development of monoclonal antibody and fusion protein-based therapies designed to activate the immune system. PTX-35, which is currently in preclinical IND enabling activities, is Pelican’s lead product candidate targeting the T-cell co-stimulator, TNFRSF25. It is designed to harness the body's natural antigen specific immune activation and tolerance mechanisms to reprogram the immunity and provide a long-term, durable clinical effect. When combined with immunotherapies, including the ImPACT® and ComPACT platform technologies, PTX-35 has been shown to enhance antigen specific T-cell activation to eliminate tumor cells. PTX-15, Pelican’s second product candidate, is a human TL1A-lg fusion protein designed as a shorter half-life agonist of TNFRSF25.


Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Zolovax, is in preclinical studies to develop therapeutic and preventative vaccines to treat infectious diseases based on our gp96 vaccine technology, with a current focus on the development of a Zika vaccine in collaboration with the University of Miami. Other infectious diseases of interest include HIV, West Nile virus, and dengue and yellow fever.

Currently we are enrolling patients in our HS-110 combination immunotherapy trial, preparing for IND submission of HS-130, and advancing pre-clinical development of Pelican assets, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property. We currently do not have any products approved for sale and we have not generated any significant revenue since our inception and no revenue from product sales. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and to incur increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:


·

complete the ongoing clinical trials of our product candidates;

·

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

·

seek to obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

·

continue our research and development efforts;

·

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and commercialization efforts; and

·

operate as a public company.


Recent Developments


On February 27, 2018, at the 2018 Keystone Symposia Conference, Immunological Memory: Innate, Adaptive and Beyond (XI1), we presented interim results from our Phase 2 study investigating HS-110 in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, nivolumab (Opdivo®), in patients with advanced NSCLC whose cancers have progressed after treatment with one or more lines of therapy.


Among the 35 patients in the Intent-to-Treat (“ITT”) population, 6 patients (17%) achieved a partial response and 14 patients (40%) achieved disease control.  Evaluable ITT patients (those who underwent at least one follow-up scan regardless of treatment duration) demonstrated overall response and disease control rates of 26% and 67%, respectively.  Overall responses appeared durable and long lasting. The survival data are still maturing, and median overall survival has not yet been reached. The combination of HS-110 and nivolumab was well tolerated, with no additional toxicities compared to what has been observed with single agent checkpoint inhibitors.


As predefined in the clinical protocol, patient subgroups were evaluated for levels of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (“TIL”) and for PD-L1 checkpoint protein expression on tumor cells. 4 of 9 “cold tumor” patients with low TIL levels (<10%) at baseline had partial responses. HS-110 also showed a durable effect in patients with low levels of PD-L1, with 3 of 9 patients responding. Both of these patient populations respond poorly to checkpoint inhibitors.


Pursuant to the authority granted to our board of directors by our stockholders at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our board of directors authorized a one-for-ten reverse stock split, which was effected on January 19, 2018. As a result of the stock split, the total number of shares of common stock was reduced to approximately 4.2 million shares for all stockholders of record and the conversion ratio for all instruments convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, including stock options and warrants, was proportionately adjusted. The reverse stock split was implemented in order to remain compliant with the NASDAQ Capital Market minimum stock price continued listing requirements.  On February 5, 2018, we were notified by the NASDAQ Capital Market that we had regained compliance with the minimum stock price continued listing requirement.


On March 11, 2018, our board of directors declared a dividend of one common share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock. Each Right initially entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one share of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2018, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Rights Agreement”), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent. Expiration date of the Rights Agreement is the earlier of March 11, 2019 or contingent on various other factors per the Rights Agreement. The Rights are designed to assure that all of our stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of a hostile takeover of the Company, to guard against two-tier or partial tender offers, open market accumulations and other tactics designed to gain control of the Company without paying all stockholders a fair price, and to enhance the board of directors’ ability to negotiate with any prospective acquirer.

On March 26, 2018, we reported 2-year recurrence rate data from the Phase 2 trial evaluating HS-410 (vesigenurtacel-L) in combination with standard of care, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We had previously discontinued our HS-410 program in order to focus our resources on current and future checkpoint combination trials, including our HS-110 Phase 2 lung cancer program in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab. However, in keeping with clinical trial guidance, we continued to monitor all patients enrolled in the study for a 2-year duration. Within the subgroup of patients who received the low dose of our ImPACT® HS-410 with standard of care BCG and who demonstrated a positive immune response, 10 out of 10 (100%) remained disease free after a 2-year period. A positive immune response was defined as 2-fold or greater increase from baseline of CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood as measured by ELISPOT analysis.


On April 18, 2018, we provided guidance on upcoming clinical milestones for HS-110 in NSCLC, our ComPACT™ platform, as well as our Pelican subsidiary's co-stimulator antibody, PTX-35, for the next four quarters. Anticipated clinical milestones for HS-110 include an interim data readout in Q4 2018 and completion of  Phase 2 patient enrollment with data readout in Q2 2019. Expected PTX-35 milestones include receipt of $6.9 million in CPRIT grant funds to support the enrollment of the first patient in a Phase 1 clinical trial in Q1 2019 and an interim data readout in Q3 2019. Additionally, we plan on enrolling our first patient in our ComPACT trial in Q4 2018 and anticipate an interim data readout in Q2 2019.


On May 7, 2018, we closed an underwritten public offering in which we issued and sold (i) 4,875,000 shares of common stock together with a number of common warrants to purchase 2,437,500 shares of our common stock, and (ii) 9,500,000 pre-funded warrants, with each pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, together with a number of common warrants to purchase 4,750,000 shares of our common stock. The public offering price was $1.44 per share of common stock, $1.43 per pre-funded warrant and $0.01 per common warrant. The net proceeds to us were approximately $18.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The common stock warrants expire five years after date of issuance and have an exercise price of $1.584 per share. As of June 30, 2018, 3,054,667 common stock warrants have been exercised for an additional $4.8 million in proceeds and all pre-funded warrants have been exercised. In connection with the offering we entered into an underwriting agreement, dated May 2, 2018 with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (A.G.P.), as representative of the underwriters.

We believe that several accounting policies are important to understanding our historical and future performance. We refer to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time we make the estimate, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.


Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and make various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


The notes to our audited consolidated financial statements contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We consider the following accounting policies critical to the understanding of the results of our operations:


·

Revenue;

·

Deferred revenue;

·

In-process R&D;

·

Contingent consideration;

·

Stock-based compensation; and

·

Research and development costs, including clinical and regulatory cost.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Comparison of the Three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017


Revenues


For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $1.1 million and $0.4 million of grant revenue for qualified expenditures under the CPRIT grant. As of June 30, 2018, we had deferred revenue of $5.1 million for proceeds received but for which the costs had not been incurred or the conditions of the award had not been met. We continue our efforts to secure future non-dilutive grant funding to subsidize ongoing research and development costs.


Research and development expense.


Research and development expenses increased approximately 59.1% to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The components of R&D expense are as follows, in millions:

·

HS-110 expense decreased $0.2 million, primarily related to one time CMC expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017 that did not reoccur during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

·

HS-410 expense decreased $0.2 million due to the current phase of the trial where in patients are in long-term follow-up for recurrence-free survival.

·

HS-130 expense increased by $0.4 million as we continue our development of clinical trial material for this program.

·

PTX expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.4 million as we began pre-clinical development of PTX-35 and PTX-15 against TNFRSF25 for testing in patients.

·

Other programs include preclinical costs associated with our Zika program, T-cell costimulatory programs, and laboratory supplies.

 

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense decreased approximately 12.5% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $0.2 million decrease is primarily attributable to the acquisition costs of our Pelican subsidiary during the three months ended June 30, 2017.


Change in fair value of contingent consideration.  We reassess the actual consideration earned and the probability-weighted future earn-out payments at each balance sheet date. The change in the fair value of contingent consideration was $539,980 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  There was no change in the fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as the acquisition of Pelican was completed during this quarter.


Interest income.  Interest income was $44,164 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $6,466 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $37,698 is due to the investment of our cash in various short-term financial instruments that generated interest income during the quarter.


Other income (expense). Other expense was $53,224 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to other income of $7,716 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. In 2018, other expense was primarily due to unrealized loss related to foreign currency transactions as well as the write-off during the quarter of disposed assets.  In 2017, other income was primarily related to foreign currency gains on several transactions in Australia.

Net loss attributable to Heat Biologics, Inc. We had a net loss attributable to Heat Biologics, Inc. of $4.1 million, or ($0.27) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.91) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2017.


Comparison of the Six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017


Revenues


For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $1.9 million of grant revenue for qualified expenditures under the CPRIT grant. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.4 million of grant and licensing revenue, primarily consisting of grant revenue for qualified expenditures under the CPRIT grant.  Included in 2017 revenue, is $0.02 million of research funding revenue for research and development services, provided to Shattuck Labs, Inc. which research funding agreement terminated January 31, 2017.  As of June 30, 2018, we had deferred revenue of $5.1 million for proceeds received but for which the costs had not been incurred or the conditions of the award had not been met. We continue our efforts to secure future non-dilutive grant funding to subsidize ongoing research and development costs.


Research and development expense.


Research and development expenses increased approximately 60% to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The components of R&D expense are as follows, in millions:

·

Other programs include preclinical costs associated with our Zika program, T-cell costimulatory programs, and laboratory supplies.

 

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense was $3.1 million for both of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 general and administrative expense consists of increased personnel costs as we establish our Texas operations associated with our Pelican subsidiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expense included costs associated with the acquisition of our Pelican subsidiary.


Change in fair value of contingent consideration.  We reassess the actual consideration earned and the probability-weighted future earn-out payments at each balance sheet date. The change in the fair value of contingent consideration was $551,098 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  There was no change in the fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as the acquisition of Pelican was completed during this quarter.


Interest income.  Interest income was $47,797 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $11,687 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $36,110 is due to the investment in various short-term financial instruments that generated interest income during the six months.




22



 


Other income (expense). Other income increased slightly to $121,796 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $77,443 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. In 2018, other income is primarily related to the release of escrow funds to us for payment of liabilities related to the Pelican acquisition. In 2017, other income was primarily related to foreign currency gains on several transactions in Australia.


Net loss attributable to Heat Biologics, Inc. We had a net loss attributable to Heat Biologics, Inc. of $7.6 million, or ($0.77) per basic and diluted share the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $6.4 million, or ($2.06) per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2017.


Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017


Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets. Prepaid expenses and other current assets was approximately $4.0 million as of June 30, 2018 and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2017. The $2.0 million increase was primarily attributable to the amount paid in advance for cGMP production for PTX-35 antibody and PTX-15 fusion protein.


In-Process R&D and Goodwill. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had in-process R&D of $5.9 million and goodwill of $2.2 million from our acquisition of Pelican. The fair value of these assets did not change during the six months ended June 30, 2018.


Accounts Payable. Accounts payable was approximately $0.8 million as of June 30, 2018 compared to approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease of approximately $0.2 million is related to payables for CMC as well as investigator site payments for our clinical trials.


Deferred Revenue. We had deferred revenue of $5.1 million and $7.0 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This deferred revenue primarily represents proceeds received for the CPRIT grant but for which the costs had not been incurred or the conditions of the award had not been met and $0.2 million related to an economic development grant received from San Antonio for the purchase of lab equipment.


Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. Accrued expenses and other liabilities were approximately $1.4 million as of June 30, 2018 compared to approximately $2.3 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease of approximately $0.9 million was related to 2017 employee bonuses which were accrued at December 31, 2017 but subsequently paid in January 2018.


Contingent Consideration. As of June 30, 2018, we had contingent consideration of $3.2 million related to our acquisition of Pelican. This amount represents the fair value of future milestone payments to Pelican shareholders which were discounted in accordance with ASC 805. We perform an analysis on a quarterly basis and as of June 30, 2018, we determined the change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration during the quarter was $539,980.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Sources of Liquidity


We commenced active operations in June 2008. Initially, we financed our operations from the private placement of our preferred stock, common stock and debt. More recently, we have primarily financed our operations with net proceeds from the public offering of our common stock and to a lesser extent, the proceeds from the exercise of warrants. During May 2018, we closed a public offering of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in which we received net proceeds of approximately $18.7 million and after the closing of the offering, an additional $4.8 million from the exercise of 3,054,667 warrants issued in this offering. In addition, we received an aggregate of $9.3 million of net proceeds through our At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “FBR Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc. formerly known as FBR Capital Markets & Co. On January 18, 2018, we entered into the H.C. Wainwright Sales Agreement that replaced the FBR Sales Agreement. To date, we received net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million from the sale of shares of our common stock through the H.C. Wainwright Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2018, we have received $8.3 million in grant funding from the CPRIT Grant through Pelican. As of June 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $76.4 million. We had net losses of $7.6 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We expect to incur significant expenses and continued losses from operations for the foreseeable future. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the research and development and advance our clinical trials of, and seek marketing approval for, our product candidates and as we continue to fund the Pelican matching funds required in order to access the CPRIT Grant. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. To meet our capital needs, we intend to continue to consider multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings such as sales of our common stock under the H.C. Wainwright Sales Agreement if available, debt financings, partnerships, collaborations and other funding transactions. This is based on our current estimates, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We are continually evaluating various cost-saving measures in light of our cash requirements in order to focus our resources on our product candidates. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so. As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $24.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.


Our cash and cash equivalents are currently held in an interest-bearing checking account and money market accounts.


Cash Flows


Operating activities.  The use of cash in all periods resulted primarily from our net losses adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in the components of working capital. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to an increase in pre-clinical activities associated with our PTX programs.


Investing activities.  The use of cash in all periods was related to the purchase of property and equipment. The increase is due to the purchase of lab equipment as we establish our San Antonio facilities per the CPRIT Grant.


Financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily from the  May 7, 2018 public offering which generated net proceeds of approximately $18.8 million and an additional $4.8 million from the exercise of warrants, as well as approximately $3.4 million net proceeds from the HCW sales agreement.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was from the March 2017 public offering which generated net proceeds of approximately $4.1 million, as well as $2.3 million net proceeds from the FBR sales agreement.


Funding Requirements


We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months. However, we expect to incur additional expenses as we continue our research and development programs. To meet our future financing needs, we intend to continue to consider multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, debt financings, partnerships, collaborations and other funding transactions. We are continually evaluating and monitoring our cash requirements and look to implement cost savings measures when necessary.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS


We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’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 have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018 our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance concluded that, as of such a date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION 


ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.


ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.


The following information and updates should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our 2017 Annual Report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors and uncertainties disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report.


We have incurred net losses every year since our inception and expect to continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flows and it is uncertain whether we will achieve profitability.


For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred a net loss of approximately $8.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $76.4 million through June 30, 2018. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred a net loss of approximately $12.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $68.8 million through December 31, 2017. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from operations. Our ability to achieve profitability will depend on us obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates and market acceptance of our product offerings and our capacity to develop, introduce and sell our products to our targeted markets. There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be approved for commercial sale, or even if our product candidates are approved for commercial sale that we will ever generate significant sales or achieve profitability. Accordingly, the extent of future losses and the time required to achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be predicted at this point.


Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more product candidates, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:


·  continue to undertake preclinical development and conduct clinical trials for product candidates;

·  seek regulatory approvals for product candidates;

·  implement additional internal systems and infrastructure; and

·  hire additional personnel.


We also expect to experience negative cash flows for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues or raise additional financing in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability would likely negatively impact the value of our securities and financing activities.


We will need to raise additional capital to operate our business and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our development programs or commercialization efforts.


During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $11.8 million and as of June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $24.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $6.3 million and as of December 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $9.8 million. We have experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit. As of June 30, 2018, our accumulated deficit totaled approximately $76.4 million and as of December 31, 2017, our accumulated deficit totaled approximately $68.8 million on a consolidated basis. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. We do not expect to derive revenue from any significant source in the near future until we or our potential partners successfully commercialize our products. Despite cost-saving measures that we implemented, we expect our expenses to increase if and when we initiate and conduct Phase 3 and other clinical trials, and seek marketing approval for our product candidates. Until such time as we receive approval from the FDA and other regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we will not be permitted to sell our products and therefore will not have product revenues from the sale of products. For the foreseeable future, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from equity and debt offerings, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants.



26



 


We expect that our current cash and cash equivalents will allow us to continue the enrollment of additional patients in the Phase 2 clinical trial for HS-110; however, if the trial design or size were to change, we may need to raise money earlier than anticipated. 


We will need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations and we cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. To meet our future financing needs, we intend to consider multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, current and additional equity financings, which we expect will include sales of common stock through at the market issuances, debt financings and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by the various rules of the SEC and the NASDAQ Capital Market that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that we may sell. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the requirements for use of at-market-issuance agreements, or to complete any such transactions on acceptable terms or otherwise. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity or debt securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to complete planned preclinical and clinical trials or obtain approval of our product candidates from the FDA and other regulatory authorities, or continue to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, we could be forced to delay, discontinue or curtail product development, forego sales and marketing efforts, and forego licensing in attractive business opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity or debt securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders.


We have never paid cash dividends and have no plans to pay cash dividends in the future.


Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of our preferred or common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our preferred or common stock may have will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock.


Certain provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our bylaws and stockholder rights plan may have anti-takeover effects that may make an acquisition of our company by another company more difficult.


We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination, including mergers and asset sales, with an interested stockholder (generally, a 15% or greater stockholder) for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The operation of Section 203 may have anti-takeover effects, which could delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a holder of our common stock might consider in its best interest.  Certain provisions of our bylaws including the ability of our board of directors to fill vacancies on our board of directors and advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In addition, the Rights issued pursuant to our stockholder rights plan that we implemented, if not redeemed or suspended, could result in the dilution of the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our board of directors and therefore discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control that stockholders may consider favorable.
