SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements within this report include, without limitation, statements regarding our drug candidates and technologies (including SM-88 and TYME- 18) and their clinical potential and non-toxic safety profiles, our drug development plans and strategies, ongoing and planned preclinical or clinical trials, preliminary data results and the therapeutic design and mechanisms of our drug candidates. The words “believes,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intends,” “estimates,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “continue,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions (including their use in the negative) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by discussions of future matters such as: the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated impact on the national and global economy as well as impacts on the Company's ongoing clinical trials and ability to analyze data from those trials; the cost of development and potential commercialization of our lead drug candidate and of other new product candidates; expected releases of interim or final data from our clinical trials; possible collaborations; the timing, scope, status, objectives of our ongoing and planned trials; the success of management transitions and strategic initiatives; and other statements that are not historical. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on management’s current expectations and projections which are subject to uncertainty, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any historical results and future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: the severity, duration, and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; our ability to achieve the intended benefits of our strategic initiatives; that certain information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to change; uncertainties inherent in the cost and outcomes of research and development, including the cost and availability of acceptable-quality clinical supply, and the ability to achieve adequate start and completion dates, as well as uncertainties in clinical trial design and patient enrollment, dropout or discontinuation rates; the possibility of unfavorable study results, including unfavorable new clinical data, additional analyses of existing data and results that may lead to a discontinuation of trials; risks associated with early, initial data, including the risk that the final data from any clinical trials may differ from prior or preliminary study data or analyses and may not support further clinical development; and that past reported data are not necessarily predictive of future patient or clinical data outcomes; whether and when any applications or other submissions for SM-88 or other drug candidates may be filed with regulatory authorities; whether and when regulatory authorities may approve any applications or submissions; decisions by regulatory authorities regarding labeling and other matters that could affect commercial availability of SM-88 or other drug candidates; the ability of TYME and its collaborators to develop and realize collaborative synergies; competitive developments; the ability of TYME to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards; and the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2021, as well as subsequent reports we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov).

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements we make. We cannot assure you that forward-looking statements in this report or therein will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us to any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We disclaim any intent or duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after completion of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

The cautionary statements made in this report are intended to be applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear in this report. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Tyme Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2021

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Business

 

Tyme Technologies, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Bedminster, New Jersey, with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tyme Inc. (together, “TYME” or the “Company”). The majority of the Company’s research, development and other business activities are conducted by Tyme Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 2013.

 

TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing CMBTsTM that are intended to be effective across a broad range of solid tumors and hematologic cancers, while also maintaining patients’ quality of life through relatively low toxicity profiles. Unlike targeted therapies that attempt to regulate specific mutations within cancer, the Company’s therapeutic approach is designed to take advantage of a cancer cell’s innate metabolic requirements to cause cancer cell death.

 

The Company is currently focused on developing its novel compound, SM-88, its preclinical pipeline of novel CMBTTM programs, as well as TYME 19 as a potential therapeutic for SARS CoV-2 diseases. The Company believes that early clinical results demonstrated by SM-88 in multiple advanced cancers, including pancreatic, prostate, sarcomas and breast, reinforce the potential of its emerging CMBT™ pipeline.

 

Ongoing Studies

 

OASIS Trial in metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer

 

The Company is collaborating with Georgetown University to support a Phase II trial, OASIS, for SM-88 in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have HR+ and HER2- disease (“HR+/HER2-”) . This represents approximately 73% of the annual breast cancer diagnoses in the US each year. The OASIS trial is an investigator-initiated prospective open-label Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of SM-88 with MPS for the treatment of metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. This trial is designed as a two-stage trial, enrolling up to 50 patients to receive SM-88 with MPS without additional therapies in patients who have failed or progressed after receiving two hormonal agents and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The primary endpoint of this trial is ORR, with secondary endpoints including DOR, CBR at >24 weeks, PFS, and safety. The trial is being conducted at Georgetown University at a total of five sites within the Georgetown/MEDSTAR system located in Washington DC, Maryland, and New Jersey. Patient enrollment began in 2021 with the first patient dosed in September. We plan to provide an update on the OASIS breast cancer study during the first half of calendar year 2023.

 

HoPES Trial in sarcoma

 

In early 2020, the open-label Phase 2 investigator-sponsored trial of SM-88 therapy in sarcoma, HoPES, opened. This trial has two cohorts, each expecting to enroll 12 patients. The first is SM-88 with MPS as salvage treatment in patients with mixed rare sarcomas, and the other is SM-88 with MPS as maintenance treatment for patients with metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma who had not progressed on prior therapy. The primary objectives are to measure ORR and PFS. Secondary objectives include DOR, OS, CBR using RECIST, and incidence of treatment-emergent AEs. The Joseph Ahmed Foundation is sponsoring this trial and the trial is being conducted by PI Dr. Chawla at the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, CA. We anticipate that the trial will complete enrollment by the end of the first half of calendar year 2022.

Preclinical Pipeline Programs

The Company has begun a comprehensive translational preclinical program focused on SM-88 MOA and Biomarker Identification/Validation. We have engaged Evotec, a leading global research and development company, to aid in the execution of these activities and are also incorporating several complementary academic collaborations into this multi-faceted program. The overall goal of these activities is to potentially identify actionable biomarkers of sensitivity and activity to SM-88 in various cancers, complementary combination drugs strategies for SM-88, and other cancer metabolism targets that could be targeted for treatment. Later in the program, the Company intends to incorporate liquid and tumor biopsies into future clinical trials to contribute to the biomarker identification. TYME anticipates this preclinical engagement will have several stages, and that it is likely to last through this fiscal year and also into future periods.

TYME-18 is a CMBT compound under development that is delivered intratumorally. TYME-18 leverages a member of the bile acid family to create a potential treatment for inoperable tumors. Preliminary observations of the local administration of TYME-18, a combination of a proprietary surfactant system and natural sulfonic acid, suggested its potential as an important regulator of energy metabolism that may impede the ability of tumors to increase in size, which, in addition to its lytic functionality, could prove useful in difficult-to-treat cancers. In initial preclinical xenograft mouse studies, TYME-18 was able to completely resolve over 90 percent (11/12 mice) of established colorectal tumors within 12 days versus an average of over 600 percent growth in the control animals. 

 

TYME-19 is an oral synthetic member of the bile acid family. The Company also uses bile acids in its anticancer drug candidate, TYME-18. Because of its expertise in bile acids and their effects, the Company was able to identify TYME-19 as a well-characterized bile acid with potential antiviral properties. Bile acids have primarily been used for liver disease; however, like all steroids, they are messenger molecules that modulate a number of diverse critical cellular processes. Bile acids can modulate lipid and glucose metabolism and can remediate dysregulated protein folding, with potentially therapeutic effects on cardiovascular, neurologic, immune, and other metabolic systems. Some agents in this class have also previously shown antiviral properties. In in vitro preclinical testing, TYME-19 prevented COVID-19 viral replication at doses without meaningful cytotoxicity to the treated cells. Previous independent preclinical research has also shown select bile acids may have had broad antiviral activity.

 

The Company has retained virology experts at Evotec to assess the MOAs of TYME-19. Evotec is one of a select number of global drug development companies with the capabilities to access the multiple existing and emerging variants of the COVID-19 virus. TYME and Evotec are testing the ability of TYME-19 to interrupt the cellular pathways commonly used by viruses to produce viral proteins as well as cellular responses to viral infection that cause local inflammation. Prolonged inflammation from SARS-CoV-2 can lead to some of the severe outcomes experienced by infected patients. We expect the work by Evotec will provide us with critical information allowing us to assess the current and potential future utility of TYME-19 in treating COVID-19.

 

Tumor Targeting Technology

 

TYME has developed a technology (“Tumor Targeting Technology”) by which the tyrosine isomer L metyrosine (L-α-methylparatyrosine) can be fused with a second therapeutic agent in a manner that creates a fusion compound that may allow targeted accumulation of the treatment by the cancer cells in a novel manner. This method of tumor targeting is predicated on the metabolic phenomenon in which cancer cells consume higher quantities of non-essential amino acids, including tyrosine, from their surrounding environment to support their growth because they cannot make enough of these amino acids. Tumor Targeting Technology is an investigational approach in the preclinical phase of development that is not approved in the U.S. for any disease indication and requires further preclinical development, which the Company plans to initiate this year.

 

Discontinuing Programs

 

Precision Promise Trial- SM-88 with MPS as 2nd line therapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer

 

In October 2018 the Company partnered with PanCAN to study SM-88 in an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent known as Precision PromiseSM. The objective of Precision Promise is to expedite the study and approval of promising therapies for pancreatic cancer by bringing multiple stakeholders together, including academic, industry and regulatory entities. The trial began in early 2020, with SM-88 (with the conditioning agents MPS) being studied as monotherapy in a treatment arm for patients who have failed one prior line of chemotherapy.

 

On January 26, 2022, the Company announced the discontinuation of SM-88 with MPS in the Precision Promise trial in mPDAC upon learning from PanCAN, the trial sponsor, that it terminated the arm due to futility compared to the control of standard of care chemotherapy in second-line mPDAC. Based on the information provided by PanCAN, the overall survival for SM-88 with MPS in monotherapy was lower compared to standard of care chemotherapies with either Gemcitabine and Abraxane or modified FOLFIRINOX. The estimated remaining cost to the Company is approximately $0.3 million.

 

TYME-88-PANC (Part 2) (third-line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer)

 

In fiscal year 2020, TYME launched its pivotal study for SM-88 in the third-line treatment of pancreatic cancer through an amendment to our ongoing TYME-88-Panc trial (Part 2), with the first patient dosed in the third quarter of the fiscal year. As described previously, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted enrollment of this trial such that it appeared it was likely to complete enrollment in a similar timeline to the second-line Precision Promise pancreatic cancer trial. There was also a higher than expected dropout rate of patients randomized to the chemotherapy control arm, which could have potentially impacted the interpretative and regulatory utility of the data.

Table of Contents

 

Following the strategic review discussed below, considering, in part, the timeline and regulatory utility for this trial compared to the parallel Precision Promise trial and concentration of investment in this specific cancer, management concluded that it would be best to focus on the second-line Precision Promise trial, which offers treatment options to patients earlier in their disease and includes tumor biopsy and biomarker analyses that align with the Company’s overall strategic focus on identifying targeted therapies.

 

Therefore, the Company decided to stop enrollment and begin the process of closing down the trial. Patients currently on therapy are allowed to continue treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The closing of this trial is expected to require several months to complete. In the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company expensed $708,000 of estimated closeout costs. The trial’s remaining ongoing expense to the Company is approximately $1.1 million, and is expected to be incurred over the next six months.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tyme, Inc.

Liquidity

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity offerings.

 

In February 2021, the Company raised $100 million in gross proceeds through a registered direct offering of 40,000,000 shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $2.50 per share. The Company incurred $6.2 million of related costs, which offset such proceeds.

 

On January 7, 2020, the Company entered into an SPA with Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eagle”), pursuant to which the Company raised $20.0 million through the issuance and sale to Eagle of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share.

 

On October 18, 2019, TYME entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (as amended, the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock through Jefferies having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “Jefferies ATM”). The Company did not sell any shares through the Jefferies ATM during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. In the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company raised approximately $6.1 million in aggregate gross proceeds through the Jefferies ATM and paid commissions and expenses of $0.3 million. At December 30, 2021, there remained approximately $22.2 million of availability to sell shares through the Jefferies ATM.

 

The proceeds of the aforementioned offerings are being used by the Company for continued clinical studies, drug commercialization and development activities and other general corporate and operating expenses.

       

For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $14.0 million and net loss of $16.8 million, which included non-cash expenses of $1.9 million related to non-cash equity compensation and $1.2 million net amortization expense of premiums and discounts on marketable securities, offset by $1.6 million income change in fair value of warrant liability. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $71.1 million.

Management has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they come due during the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financial statements. This conclusion is based on the Company’s assessment of qualitative and quantitative conditions and events, considered in aggregate as of the date of issuance of these financial statements that are known and reasonably knowable. Among other relevant conditions and events, the Company has considered its operational plans, liquidity sources, obligations due or expected, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations, and potential adverse conditions or events as of the issuance date of these financial statements.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC related to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and

recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary, Tyme Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in ASC and ASU of the FASB.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 included in the Company’s 2021 10-K.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposit accounts, money market funds and municipal debt securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

Marketable Securities

All of the Company's marketable securities are debt securities and are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with the ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Available for sale securities are carried at fair value and reported in cash equivalents and marketable securities. Marketable securities are further classified as short-term or long-term based on maturity dates and the Company’s intent in line with its investment policy to hold the securities to scheduled maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from net loss and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Other income includes interest, dividends, amortization of purchase premiums and discounts, gain and losses on sale (or redemptions) of securities and other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of securities, if any.

For individual debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities where there has been a decline in fair value below amortized cost, the Company determines whether the decline resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for a credit loss is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. Cash equivalents, marketable securities and the derivative warrant liability are recorded at fair value.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received if selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company’s financial assets are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy, and their applicability to the Company’s financial assets, are described below.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date of identical, unrestricted assets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to the security.

 

10


Table of Contents

Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets. Level 3 assets include private investments that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The Company had no material re-measurements of fair value with respect to financial assets and liabilities, during the periods presented, other than those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis see Note 6.

Derivative Warrant Liability

Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise or certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As noted in Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet if the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that contains certain price protection features that cause the warrants to be treated as derivatives or requires the issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. Each warrant of this type is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black-Scholes model, and is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant. The Company utilizes Level 3 fair value criteria to measure the fair value of the warrants (see Note 6).

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to those risks associated with any biotechnology company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors.

Current Economic Conditions

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and actions taken by governments and others to reduce its spread, has negatively impacted the global economy, financial markets, and the Company’s industry and has disrupted day-to-day life and business operations. Even as certain restrictions have been lifted, new processes implemented and vaccines have become more widely available and administered, spikes in infections (including the spread of new variants) continue to be experienced as conditions evolve and fluctuate around the world. The extent to which the continuing COVID-19 pandemic impacts our product candidates and business, including patients’ willingness to participate and remain in clinical trials, the timing of meeting enrollment expectations, the ability of our third-party partners to remain operational and our access to capital markets and financing sources, depends on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain, cannot be accurately predicted, and may be significant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 , Income Taxes and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Table of Contents

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and has since modified the standard with several ASUs (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires companies to present a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amounts expected to be collected. Prior U.S. GAAP delayed recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss was probable of occurring. Under this ASU, the income statement will reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down of the security. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU No. 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation.

 

The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 5. Severance Payable

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into Separation and General Release Agreements with two employees. The agreements provide separation benefits which the Company recorded as severance expense. In April 2021, the Company entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement related to the separation of employment of its then-Chief Medical Officer as of March 31, 2021. The agreement provides for separation benefits which the Company recorded as severance expense for the year ended March 31, 2021. On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Release Agreement related to the separation of employment of its then-Chief Operating Officer. The agreement provides for salary continuance for five years, reimbursement of health benefits for three years and a modification to his outstanding stock options to extend the post-termination exercise period for his vested options from three months to five years. The Company recorded severance expense at its present value of $2.5 million (using a discount rate of 6%) for the year ended March 31, 2019, including $0.4 million relating to the stock option modification. The aggregate severance liability payable as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. Transfers are calculated on values as of the transfer date. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 are as follows:

Fair values of available-for-sale securities are generally based on prices obtained from commercial pricing services. The fair value of cash equivalents held in money market funds is determined based on “Level 1” inputs. Marketable securities classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy consist of corporate debt securities and municipal debt securities. We estimate the fair values of these marketable securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources. These pricing sources utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include market pricing based on real-time trade data for the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark yields, and other observable inputs.

 

The fair value measurement for the warrant issued in conjunction with the Exchange Agreements (see Note 8 for transaction details) (the “May 2020 Warrant”) is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and is classified as Level 3 liability as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The fair value of the May 2020 Warrant was determined using a Black Scholes model and included significant unobservable inputs such as volatility. The model also incorporated several observable assumptions at each valuation date including: the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation, the remaining contractual term of the warrant and the risk free interest rate over the term.

 

The following table details key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the May 2020 Warrant as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 using a Black Scholes model:

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Exchange Agreements

 

On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders (the “Holders”) of the warrants issued in April 2019 (the “April 2019 Warrants”). The April 2019 Warrants were offered and issued pursuant to the Company’s previous shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211489).

 

Pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement (a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period.

 

The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include certain price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant.

 

The April 2019 Warrants were remeasured as of May 20, 2020, before the exchange, using the Monte Carlo pricing simulation resulting in a fair value of approximately $7.3 million, and the change in fair value from March 31, 2020 to the fair value before the exchange of approximately $3.7 million was recorded as an expense component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: $1.70 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.28% risk free rate and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring.

 

At May 20, 2020, the fair value of the 2,406,250 shares issued under the Share Exchange Agreements was approximately $3.4 million and resulted in a gain on exchange of approximately $1.9 million.

 

The exercise price of the May 2020 Warrant is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company determined that the May 2020 Warrant should be recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the May 2020 Warrant’s contractual provisions requiring issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. At May 20, 2020, the May 2020 Warrant was recorded at the fair value of $1.7 million as determined using the Black Scholes model and the change in fair value before and after the exchange of $0.3 million was recorded as a gain on warrant exchange as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Black Scholes model were as follows: $1.64 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.27% risk free rate and 7% discount for lack of marketability. The change in fair value of the May 2020 Warrant from May 20, 2020 through December 31, 2020 of $0.7 million income was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

At-the-Market Financing Facility

 

On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement with Jefferies, which was amended on August 12, 2020, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Jefferies, as the Company’s sales agent. As indicated in the amendment, the shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-245033). Any sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time.

 

The Company did not sell any shares through the Jefferies ATM during the nine months ended December 31, 2021. During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company raised approximately $6.1 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 4,453,939 shares of Common Stock and incurred $0.3 million of related costs that offset the proceeds. At December 31, 2021, there remained approximately $22.2 million of availability to sell shares through the Jefferies ATM.   

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle entered into the Eagle SPA, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of (i) achievement of the primary endpoint of OS in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of OS in the PanCAN Precision Promise SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) FDA approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement.

Registered Direct Offering

 

On February 8, 2021, the Company closed on its registered direct offering with several healthcare-focused institutional and other institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Shares were sold at a purchase price of $2.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $100 million, prior to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by TYME. The Company incurred $6.2 million of related costs that offset such proceeds. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the SEC on August 12, 2020 and was declared effective on September 2, 2020 (Reg. No. 333-245033). H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

 

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Contract Service Providers

In the course of the Company’s normal business operations, it enters into agreements and arrangements with contract service providers to assist in the performance of its research and development and clinical research activities. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s obligations to contract service providers were $0.2 million in the aggregate.

 

On April 1, 2020, the Company amended the Clinical Research Funding and Drug Supply Agreement dated October 9, 2018, with PanCAN, to enroll individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a platform style clinical research study. Stage 1 of the study was initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. On January 26, 2022, the Company announced the discontinuation of SM-88 with MPS in the Precision Promise trial in mPDAC upon learning from PanCAN, the trial sponsor, that it terminated the arm due to futility compared to the control of standard of care chemotherapy in second-line mPDAC. As of December 31, 2021, remaining estimated costs to close out the trial have been expensed.

Purchase Commitments

The Company has entered into contracts with manufacturers to supply SM-88 and certain related conditioning agents, in order to achieve favorable pricing on supplied products. These contracts have non-cancellable elements related to the scheduled deliveries of these products in future periods. Payments are made by us to the manufacturer when the products are delivered and of acceptable quality. The outstanding future contract obligations structured to match clinical supply needs for the Company’s ongoing trials and registration activity are approximately $0.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against it that it believes could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business, operating results or financial condition. From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company would accrue a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company would not record a liability, but instead would disclose the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

 

Note 10. Leases

 

The Company has a lease for office space in New Jersey, which expires in February 2023.  

 

Total Company rent expense, including short term rentals, was approximately $17,000 and $45,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and $14,000 and $155,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020.  

 

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease terms. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. Payments for additional monthly fees to cover the Company's share of certain facility expenses are not included in operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of 11.0% to calculate the present value of its lease payments, as the implicit rates in the leases are not readily determinable.

Legal

 

Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath (“Faegre Drinker”), formerly Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (“DBR”), has provided legal services to the Company. The Company’s Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary holds the consulting role “Senior Counsel” with Faegre Drinker. Legal fees incurred associated with Faegre Drinker were approximately $47,000 and $313,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and $127,000 and $523,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $46,000 and $87,000, respectively, in accounts payable and accrued expenses payable to Faegre Drinker.

Note 12. Equity Incentive Plan

Stock Options

 

As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average service period of 3.0 years.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there were 10,680,381 shares available for grant under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and 2016 Director Plan.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. For employees and non-employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which approximates the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating forfeitures as of an award’s grant date.

The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using the method described under ASC 718 using the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected term of options granted to employees, non-employees and consultants in the current fiscal period has been based on the term by using the simplified method as allowed under SAB No. 110 and ASU 2018-7.

Note 13. Income Taxes

A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company weighed available positive and negative evidence and concluded that a full valuation allowance should continue to be maintained on its net deferred tax assets.

The Company is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s uncertain tax positions remain unchanged. Due to the full valuation allowance, none of the gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate at December 31, 2021.

The Company had no income tax related penalties or interest for periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements related to uncertain tax positions due to available net operating loss carryforwards, which would be recorded as tax expense should the Company accrue for such items.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of consolidated financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.

On January 26, 2022, the Company announced the discontinuation of SM-88 with MPS in the Precision Promise trial in mPDAC upon learning from PanCAN, the trial sponsor, that it terminated the arm due to futility compared to the control of standard of care chemotherapy in second-line mPDAC. Based on the information provided by PanCAN, the overall survival for SM-88 with MPS in monotherapy was lower compared to standard of care chemotherapies with either Gemcitabine and Abraxane or modified FOLFIRINOX.

The Precision Promise trial is an adaptive randomized Phase 2/3 trial in mPDAC for patients treated in both first-line and second-line therapies. SM-88 (racemetyrosine) with MPS (10 mg methoxsalen, 50 mg phenytoin, and 0.5 mg sirolimus) was the first therapy to join this trial and was being studied as a standalone monotherapy in second-line patients versus control arms of standard of care regimens of either Gemcitabine and Abraxane or modified FOLFIRINOX.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The disclosures in this Quarterly Report are complementary to those made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”). You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing in this Quarterly Report as well as our audited financial statements, notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2021 Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and of our 2021 Form 10-K, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. As used in this report, unless the context suggests otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “TYME” or “Tyme Technologies” refer to Tyme Technologies, Inc. together with its subsidiary. All amounts in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are approximate.

Overview

 

TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing CMBTsTM that are intended to be effective across a broad range of solid tumors and hematologic cancers, while also maintaining patients’ quality of life through relatively low toxicity profiles. Unlike targeted therapies that attempt to regulate specific mutations within cancer, the Company’s therapeutic approach is designed to take advantage of a cancer cell’s innate metabolic requirements to cause cancer cell death through oxidative stress and exposure to the body’s natural immune system.

 

The Company is currently focused on developing its novel compound, SM-88, its preclinical pipeline of novel CMBTTM programs, as well as TYME 19 as a potential therapeutic for SARS Co V-2 diseases. The Company is also exploring options to further diversify its product candidate pipeline. The Company believes that early clinical results demonstrated by SM-88 in multiple advanced cancers, including pancreatic, prostate, sarcomas and breast, reinforce the potential of our emerging CMBT™ pipeline.

 

Strategic Review

 

In November 2020, TYME appointed Richie Cunningham as its new Chief Executive Officer. In January 2021, he commenced a comprehensive strategic review examining every facet of the Company, with the goals of assessing the Company’s existing opportunities, exploring untapped opportunities that may have been overlooked and maximizing the efficiency of our capital expenditures in an effort to unlock TYME’s full potential.

 

The strategic review was extensive and involved internal and external assessments by industry experts, KOLs and advisors with considerable experience in the various areas we sought to probe and explore.

 

The strategic review process resulted in several key takeaways including, but not limited to:

 

broad activity across 15 cancer types as seen in the First in Human study and Compassionate Use program and confirmation of strong IP portfolio provides us extra development opportunities, for which focus is critical;

 

 

the second-line Precision Promise trial was the priority in pancreatic cancer;

 

 

breast cancer is a priority indication for development as part of pipeline diversification beyond pancreatic cancer;

 

 

there is a need to refine our understanding of the MOA and identify biomarkers to enhance targeting of patient populations; and

 

 

the rapidly changing COVID-19 landscape requires a reevaluation of the market potential and development pathway for

 

TYME-19.

 

The Company’s current strategy, including ongoing studies, and the Preclinical Pipeline Programs and diversification efforts, has been developed based on the takeaways from the strategic review.

 

Ongoing Studies

 

OASIS (Metastatic HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer After CDK4/6 Inhibitors)

 

We are collaborating with Georgetown University to support a Phase II trial, OASIS, for SM-88 in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have HR+ and HER2- disease (“HR+/HER2-“). This represents approximately 73% of the annual breast cancer diagnoses

Table of Contents

in the US each year. The OASIS trial is an investigator-initiated prospective open-label Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of SM-88 with MPS for the treatment of metastatic HR+/ HER2- breast cancer after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. This trial is designed as a two-stage trial, enrolling up to 50 patients to receive SM-88 with MPS without additional therapies in patients who have failed or progressed after receiving two hormonal agents and a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The primary endpoint of this trial is ORR, with secondary endpoints including DOR, CBR at >24 weeks, PFS, and safety. The trial is being conducted at Georgetown University at a total of five sites within the Georgetown/MEDSTAR system located in Washington DC, Maryland, and New Jersey. Patient enrollment began in 2021 with the first patient dosed in September. We plan to provide an update on the OASIS breast cancer study during the first half of calendar year 2023.

 

HoPES Phase II Trial in sarcoma

 

In early 2020, the open-label Phase 2 investigator sponsored trial of SM-88 therapy in sarcoma, HoPES, opened. This trial has two cohorts, each expecting to enroll 12 patients. The first is SM-88 with MPS as salvage treatment in patients with mixed rare sarcomas, the other is SM-88 with MPS as maintenance treatment for patients with metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma that had not progressed on prior therapy. The primary objectives are to measure ORR and PFS. Secondary objectives include DOR, OS, CBR using RECIST, and incidence of treatment-emergent AEs. The Joseph Ahmed Foundation is sponsoring this trial and the trial is being conducted by PI Dr. Chawla at the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, CA. We anticipate that the trial will complete enrollment by the end of the first half of calendar year 2022.

 

Preclinical Pipeline Programs

 

SM-88 MOA and Biomarker Research

 

The Company has begun a comprehensive translational preclinical program. We have engaged Evotec, a leading global research and development company to aid in the execution of these activities and are also incorporating several complementary academic collaborations into this multi-faceted program. The overall goal of these activities is to potentially identify actionable biomarkers of sensitivity and activity to SM-88 in various cancers, complementary combination drugs strategies for SM-88, and other cancer metabolism targets that could be targeted for treatment. Additionally, the Company intends to incorporate liquid and tumor biopsies to future clinical trials to contribute to the biomarker identification. We anticipate this engagement will have several stages, and that it is likely to last through this fiscal year and into future periods.

 

TYME 19 and TYME 18

 

TYME-18 is a CMBT compound under development that is delivered intratumorally. TYME-18 leverages a member of the bile acid family to create a potential treatment for inoperable tumors. Preliminary observations of the local administration of TYME-18, a combination of a proprietary surfactant system and natural sulfonic acid, suggested its potential as an important regulator of energy metabolism that may impede the ability of tumors to increase in size, which, in addition to its lytic functionality, could prove useful in difficult-to-treat cancers. In initial preclinical xenograft mouse studies, TYME-18 was able to completely resolve over 90 percent (11/12 mice) of established colorectal tumors within 12 days versus an average of over 600 percent growth in the control animals. 

 

TYME-19 is an oral synthetic member of the bile acid family. The Company also uses bile acids in its anticancer drug candidate, TYME-18. Because of its expertise in bile acids and their effects, the Company was able to identify TYME-19 as a well-characterized bile acid with potential antiviral properties. Bile acids have primarily been used for liver disease; however, like all steroids, they are messenger molecules that modulate a number of diverse critical cellular processes. Bile acids can modulate lipid and glucose metabolism and can remediate dysregulated protein folding, with potentially therapeutic effects on cardiovascular, neurologic, immune, and other metabolic systems. Some agents in this class have also previously shown antiviral properties. In in vitro preclinical testing, TYME-19 prevented COVID-19 viral replication at doses without meaningful cytotoxicity to the treated cells. Previous independent preclinical research has also shown select bile acids may have had broad antiviral activity.

 

The Company has retained virology experts at Evotec to assess the mechanisms of TYME-19. Evotec is one of a select number of global drug development companies with the capabilities to access the multiple existing and emerging variants of the COVID-19 virus. TYME and Evotec are testing the ability of TYME-19 to interrupt the cellular pathways commonly used by viruses to produce viral proteins as well as cellular responses to viral infection that cause local inflammation. Prolonged inflammation from SARS-CoV-2 can lead to some of the severe outcomes experienced by infected patients. We expect the work by Evotec will provide us with critical information allowing us to assess the current and potential future utility of TYME-19 in treating COVID-19.

Tumor Targeting Technology

 

TYME has developed a technology (“Tumor Targeting Technology”) by which the tyrosine isomer L metyrosine (L-α-methylparatyrosine) can be fused with a second therapeutic agent in a manner that creates a fusion compound that may allow targeted accumulation of the treatment by the cancer cells in a novel manner. This method of tumor targeting is predicated on the metabolic phenomenon in which cancer cells consume higher quantities of non-essential amino acids, including tyrosine, from their surrounding environment to support their growth because they cannot make enough of these amino acids. Tumor Targeting Technology is an investigational approach in the preclinical phase of development that is not approved in the U.S. for any disease indication and requires further preclinical development, which the Company plans to initiate this year.

 

Discontinuing Programs

 

Precision Promise Trial- SM-88 with MPS as 2nd line therapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer

 

In October 2018 the Company partnered with PanCAN to study SM-88 in an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent known as Precision PromiseSM. The objective of Precision Promise is to expedite the study and approval of promising therapies for pancreatic cancer by bringing multiple stakeholders together, including academic, industry and regulatory entities. The trial, began in early 2020, SM-88 (with the conditioning agents MPS) is being studied as monotherapy in a treatment arm for patients who have failed one prior line of chemotherapy.

 

On January 26, 2022, the Company announced the discontinuation of SM-88 with MPS in the Precision Promise trial in mPDAC upon learning from PanCAN, the trial sponsor, that it terminated the arm due to futility compared to the control of standard of care chemotherapy in second-line mPDAC. Based on the information provided by PanCAN, the overall survival for SM-88 with MPS in monotherapy was lower compared to standard of care chemotherapies with either Gemcitabine and Abraxane or modified FOLFIRINOX. The estimated remaining cost to the Company is approximately $0.3 million.

 

TYME-88-PANC (Part 2) (third-line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer)

 

In fiscal year 2020, we launched our pivotal study for SM-88 in the third-line treatment of pancreatic cancer through an amendment to our ongoing TYME-88-Panc trial (Part 2), with the first patient dosed in the third quarter of the fiscal year. As described previously, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted enrollment of this trial such that it appeared it was likely to complete enrollment in a similar timeline to the second-line Precision Promise pancreatic cancer trial. There was also a higher than expected dropout rate of patients randomized to the chemotherapy control arm, which could have potentially impacted the interpretative and regulatory utility of the data. 

 

Following the strategic review discussed above, considering, in part, the timeline and regulatory utility for this trial compared to the parallel Precision Promise trial and concentration of investment in this specific cancer, management concluded that it would be best to focus on the second-line Precision Promise trial, which offers treatment options to patients earlier in their disease and includes tumor biopsy and biomarker analyses that align with the Company’s overall strategic focus on identifying targeted therapies.    

 

Therefore, the Company decided to stop enrollment and begin the process of closing down the trial. Patients currently on therapy are allowed to continue treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The closing of this trial is expected to require several months to complete. In the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company expensed $708,000 of estimated closeout costs. The trial’s remaining ongoing expense to the Company is approximately $1.1 million, and is expected to be incurred over the next six months.

 

Recent Developments

 

On December 22, 2021, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that we are therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq's notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock. The Company can regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid listing requirement if the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. We intend to actively monitor the minimum bid price of our common stock and may, as appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance.

COVID-19 Update

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken by governments and others to reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, shutdowns of businesses deemed non-essential, and stay-at-home or similar orders, has negatively impacted the global economy, financial markets, and our industry and has disrupted day-to-day life and business operations. We continue to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, our clinical trials, and the safety of patients, including as vaccines and boosters become more widely available, as jurisdictions ease certain restrictions and as possible new outbreaks or virus variants emerge and jurisdictions evaluate new or renewed safety measures. We continue to work closely with our clinical trial sites during the pandemic, and are committed to working with them to assure appropriate access for patients who are seeking clinical trial options for these advanced cancers for which the patients have limited or no other treatment options.

 

We have also taken important steps to protect the health and welfare of our employees, consultants and board members, by continuing to provide a fully “work-from-home” option. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our product candidates and business, including patients’ willingness to participate and remain in clinical trials, the timing of meeting enrollment expectations, the ability of our third-party partners to remain operational and our access to capital markets and financing sources, however, depends on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. Management continues to monitor the situation closely and intends to continue to adapt and implement process adjustments as needed.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses, warrant liability, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making 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. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as discussed in our 2021 10-K.

Derivative Warrant Liability

Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise or certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant. The Company utilizes Level 3 fair value criteria to measure the fair value of the warrants.

As noted in Item 1. Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet if the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that contains certain price protection features or requires issuance of registered common shares upon exercise which cause the warrants to be treated as derivatives. Each warrant of this type is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black Scholes model, and is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $5,318,000 compared to $6,121,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and the net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was $16,812,000 compared to $21,797,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in losses for the current three-month period is mostly due to a favorable variance of $779,000 in the change in fair value of warrant liability offset by increased operating costs and expenses described below. The decrease in losses for the nine-month period is due to favorable variance of $4,621,000 in the change in fair value of the warrant

liability offset by $2,229,000 prior years gain on the warrant exchange, as well as decreased operating costs. The decrease in operating costs for the current nine month period of $2,496,000 related to decreased research and development costs of $1,829,000 and decreased general and administrative costs of $667,000.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine-months ended December 31, 2021 was $14,035,000 compared to $18,501,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. See “Cash Flows section below for further details.

Revenues

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not realize any revenues from operations. We do not anticipate any revenues until such time as one of our product candidates has been approved for commercialization by appropriate regulatory authorities or we enter into certain types of collaboration or licensing arrangements, none of which is anticipated to occur in the near future.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, operating costs and expenses totaled $5,888,000 compared to $5,871,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Operating costs and expenses were comprised of the following:

 

Research and development expenses were $3,463,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $3,549,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $86,000. A substantial portion of research and development expenditures have been incurred in respect of our lead drug candidate SM-88 and its technology platform. Research and development expenditures in the quarter also included costs for pre-clinical studies on TYME-19 and SM-88 MOA as well as biomarker studies. Research and development activities primarily consist of the following:

 

o

Study and consulting expenses were $2,817,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2,479,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $338,000. The variance reflects an increase in drug supply and costs related to the pre-clinical studies on SM-88 mechanism of action as well as biomarker studies.

 

o

Salary and salary-related expenses for research and development personnel were $510,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $775,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $265,000 primarily due to lower headcount for roles currently outsourced to consultants.

 

o

Included in research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 is $136,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to research and development personnel compared to $295,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $159,000 primarily attributable to fully vested grants and cancellation/forfeiture of options.

o

Other general and administrative expenses were $1,957,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $1,832,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $125,000, reflecting higher employee-related and corporate insurance costs.

 

o

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $468,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $490,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $22,000, primarily attributable to fully vested grants and cancellation of options.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, operating costs and expenses totaled $18,469,000 compared to $20,965,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $2,496,000. Operating costs and expenses were comprised of the following: 

 

Research and development expenses were $11,143,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $12,972,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $1,829,000. A substantial portion of research and development expenditures have been incurred in respect of our lead drug candidate SM-88 and its technology platform. Research and development activities primarily consist of the following:

 

o

Study and consulting expenses were $8,915,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $9,628,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $713,000 between the comparable periods. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower ongoing trial costs due to the discontinued TYME-88-Panc Part 2 third-line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer and Precision Promise trials, partially offset by costs incurred related to the OASIS clinical trial as well as preclinical studies on TYME–19 and SM-88 MOA and biomarker studies.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 the Company had investment income and interest income on cash accounts of $36,000 and $95,000 compared to $2,000 and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had interest expense primarily related to the amortization of the severance payable discount of $16,000 and $57,000 compared to $23,000 and $78,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020.

Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share

 

After adjusting for change in fair value of warrant liability, amortization of employees, directors and consultants stock options and gain on warrant exchange, adjusted net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $5,264,000 or $0.03 per share compared to $5,107,000 or $0.04 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Adjusted net loss for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2021 was $16,567,000 or $0.10 per share compared to $18,286,000 or $0.15 per share for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are non-GAAP measures. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share as presented in this report are non-GAAP measures. The adjustments relate to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, amortization of employees, directors and consultants stock based compensation and gain on warrant exchange. These financial measures are presented on a basis other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP Measures"). In the reconciliation tables that follow, we present adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, reconciled to their comparable GAAP measures, net loss and net loss per share. These items are adjusted because they are not operational or because they are significant non-cash charges and management believes these adjustments are meaningful to understanding the Company's performance during the periods presented. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

The Non-GAAP Measures for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 provide management with additional insight into the Company’s results of operations from period to period by excluding certain non-operational and non-cash charges, and are calculated using the following adjustments to net loss:

 

 

a)

The May 2020 Warrant issued as part of the warrant exchange as described under the subheading “Historical Financings” below was measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes model which takes into account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock, its expected volatility and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant.

 

The warrant liability is revalued at each reporting period or upon exercise. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and are excluded from adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share.

 

 

b)

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair value of stock options granted. For employees and non-employees, the compensation expense is amortized over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. The expense is excluded from adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share.

 

 

c)

Gain on warrant exchange resulted from the difference in fair value of the warrants issued as part of the equity offering on April 2, 2019 before their exchange (as described under the subheading “Historical Financings” below) and the fair value of the common stock exchange shares and the May 2020 warrant granted pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreements and the Warrant Exchange Agreement, respectively.

 

Adjusted basic net loss per share is computed by dividing adjusted net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Company common stock outstanding for the period, and adjusted diluted loss per share is computed by also including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. During the periods presented, the calculation excludes any potential dilutive common shares and any equivalents as they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses for the periods then ended.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Requirements Outlook


On February 8, 2021, the Company closed on a registered direct offering of 40,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of $2.50 per share. The gross proceeds of the offering were $100 million, prior to deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by TYME, which were approximately $6.2 million.

 

The Company intends to continue to use the net proceeds of this offering for the development of our clinical and preclinical assets and for general corporate purposes, capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our own to further diversify our product pipeline, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions. In addition, we may also use the proceeds, and may require additional capital, to engage in potential partnerships or collaborations. The Company’s most significant funding needs are in connection with (i) participating in the investigator-initiated HoPES clinical trial of SM-88 in sarcoma, (ii) participating in OASIS, our recently announced investigator-initiated prospective open-label Phase II trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of SM-88 with MPS for the treatment of metastatic HR+, HER2- breast cancer after treatment, and (iii) conducting preclinical biomarker and MOA research of our lead clinical program SM-88 to potentially identify actionable biomarkers of sensitivity and activity to SM-88 in various cancers, identifying potential complementary combination drugs strategies for SM-88, and potentially identify other cancer metabolism targets that could be targeted for treatment, and (iv) conducting preclinical and clinical studies in connection with TYME-19, and (v) conducting preclinical studies related to our Tumor Targeting Technology, and (vi) conducting additional or related studies of other potential drug candidates, including TYME-18. The greater scale of these trials is expected to lead to increased costs, including providing SM-88 for patient use. If we determine to move beyond the preclinical stage for any of our preclinical product candidates or if we pursue studies in other cancer types, our liquidity requirements will be increased.

 

Primarily as a result of its active clinical trials, including timing of enrollment, as well as other business developments, and based on its current operating plan, the Company currently anticipates that its quarterly cash operating expense will average approximately $6.0 to $7.0 million during fiscal year 2022. Management expects that the Company’s net cash usage or net “cash burn” will be less than its operating costs.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $20.8 million and working capital of approximately $71.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company established an investment policy and invested approximately $74.1 million in a portfolio of highly liquid investments and marketable securities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had marketable securities of $70.7 million and accrued interest of $0.5 million classified in other current assets. The primary objectives of the Company’s policy are to preserve capital and diversify risk, while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow needs.

 

Management has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they come due during the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financial statements. This conclusion is based on the Company’s assessment of qualitative and quantitative conditions and events, considered in aggregate as of the date of issuance of these financial statements that are known and reasonably knowable. Among other relevant conditions and events, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related government and economic responses, the Company has considered its operational plans, liquidity sources, obligations due or expected, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations, and potential adverse conditions or events as of the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity offerings of its common stock. As a clinical-stage entity, without product revenues and ongoing needs to fund our clinical development activities and general operations, we regularly evaluate opportunities to raise capital and obtain necessary, as well as opportunistic financing. To meet our short and long-term liquidity needs, we currently expect to use existing cash balances, marketable securities and a variety of other means, including potential issuances of debt or equity securities in public or private financings, option exercises, and partnerships and/or collaborations. The demand for the equity and debt of biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies like ours is dependent upon many factors, including the general state of the financial markets. During times of extreme market volatility, capital may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain such additional capital could materially and adversely affect our business operations.

 

While we will continue to seek capital through a number of means, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and our negotiating position in capital generating efforts may worsen as existing resources are used. Moreover, as discussed above, should the Company be unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, our ability to raise funds and, therefore, our liquidity, could be negatively impacted. See Item 1A – Risk Factors for additional information.

Table of Contents

 

Additional equity financing, which we expect to raise, may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business; and our stock price may not reach levels necessary to induce option exercises. If we are unable to raise the funds necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue the development of certain or all of our drug candidates or raise funds on terms that we currently consider unfavorable.

 

From time to time, we may also restructure our outstanding securities or seek to repurchase or redeem them if we believe doing so would provide us with additional flexibility to raise capital or is otherwise in the best interests of the Company.

 

Historical Financings

 

On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eagle”) entered into an SPA (the “Eagle SPA”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of (i) achievement of the primary endpoint of OS in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of OS in the PanCAN Precision PromiseSM SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) FDA approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement.

 

On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM , which was amended on August 12, 2020 (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Jefferies, as the Company’s sales agent (the “Jefferies ATM”). As indicated in the amendment, the shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-245033). Any sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not raise any proceeds under the Jefferies ATM. As of December 31, 2021, there remained approximately $22.2 million of availability in the Jefferies ATM.

 

In May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with the Holders of warrants that were issued in April 2019 (the “April 2019 Warrants”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreements with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of Common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement (a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period.

 

The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include certain price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the 2019 April Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant.

 

After such exchanges, the April 2019 Warrants no longer remained outstanding.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on us, our business, operating results or financial condition.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. Except as set forth below, at the time of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were included in the Form 10-K.

We may be unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, which could cause our common stock to be delisted from Nasdaq. This could result in the lack of a market for our common stock, cause a decrease in the value of an investment in us, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to meet certain listing requirements, including, among others, a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share.

In December 22, 2021, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that we are therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)”). Nasdaq’s notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The notice indicates that we will have 180 calendar days, until June 20, 2022, to regain compliance with this requirement. We can regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid listing requirement if the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period.

If the Company does not regain compliance during the initial compliance period, we may be eligible for an additional 180 day period to regain compliance. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of our publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement under Rule 5550(a)(2), and we would need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If it appears to Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, we expect that Nasdaq will notify us that our common stock will be subject to delisting. We will have the right to appeal a determination to delist our common stock, and our common stock would remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the completion of the appeal process.

A delisting of our common stock could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock and reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire shares, which would further restrict our ability to obtain equity financing. A suspension or delisting could also adversely affect our reputation, our relationships with our business partners and suppliers, which would have a material, adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, a suspension or delisting would impair our ability to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing as well as our ability to attract and retain employees by means of equity compensation.

As of the date hereof, we had not regained compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). While the Company intends to regain compliance during the compliance period, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, or maintain compliance with any other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
