FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. When we use the words “intends,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, we are identifying forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, any statements regarding our future financial performance, results of operations or sufficiency of capital resources to fund our operating requirements; statements relating to potential licensing, partnering or similar arrangements concerning our drug compounds; statements concerning our future drug development plans and projected timelines for the initiation and completion of preclinical and clinical trials; the potential for the results of ongoing preclinical or clinical trials; other statements regarding our future product development and regulatory strategies, including with respect to specific indications; and any other statements which are other than statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to continue as a going concern and our capital needs; our ability to fund and successfully progress internal research and development efforts; our ability to create effective, commercially-viable drugs; our ability to effectively and timely conduct clinical trials; our ability to ultimately distribute our drug candidates; our ability to achieve certain future regulatory, development and commercialization milestones under our license agreement with Alfasigma S.p.A., and the potential cancellation of the license agreement; and compliance with regulatory requirements, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this report and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

 

For further information about these and other risks, uncertainties and factors, please review the disclosure included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors” and in this report under “Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.”

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

 

In the opinion of the management of Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc., all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “Innovation,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc. was incorporated on August 1, 2005 in the State of Nevada. Effective June 5, 2017, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and changed its name from Cellceutix Corporation to Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc. On February 15, 2019, the Company formed IPIX Pharma Limited (“IPIX Pharma”), a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated under the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland. IPIX Pharma is a Private Company Limited by Shares.

 

The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, symbol “IPIX.”

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, IPIX Pharma, an Ireland limited company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. There was no translation gain and loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Nature of Operations - Overview

 

We are in the business of developing or licensing innovative small molecule therapies. Our strategy is to maximize the value of our drug compound Brilacidin. The Company also acquired a non-controlling interest in BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (“BTL”), formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd., a private company developing a novel image guided surgical laser platform.

 

We currently own all development and marketing rights to our products, other than the license rights granted to Alfasigma S.p.A. in July 2019 for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of locally-administered Brilacidin for ulcerative proctitis/ulcerative proctosigmoiditis (“UP/UPS”). In order to successfully develop and market our products, we may have to partner with additional companies. Prospective partners may require that we grant them significant development and/or commercialization rights in return for agreeing to share the risk of development and/or commercialization.

 

2. Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plan

 

Our financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $0.9 million and negative cash flow from operations of $0.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has negative working capital of $4.1 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s cash amounted to $0.9 million and current liabilities amounted to $5.0 million. The Company has expended substantial funds on its clinical trials and expects to continue our spending on research and development expenditures, subject to having adequate available funding. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business and have been dependent on funding operations from inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities, if available, and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the period covered in this report, there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies the Company uses and has explained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The information below is intended only to supplement the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contract research accruals, recoverability of patent costs and other long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets, valuation of equity grants and income tax valuation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share are computed based on the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Except with respect to certain voting, conversion and transfer rights and as otherwise expressly provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for both classes. Common share equivalents consist of stock options, restricted stock, warrants, convertible related party notes payable, and convertible preferred stock. Common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, because their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Treasury Stock

 

The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method. The 10,874,593 treasury shares include 8,516,056 shares of Class A common stock and 2,358,537 shares of Class B common stock held in treasury, and they were purchased at a total cumulative cost of approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (see Note 14. Equity Transactions).

 

Treasury stock, representing shares of the Company’s common stock that have been acquired for payroll tax withholding on vested stock grants and to satisfy the exercise price on vested stock options, is recorded at its acquisition cost and these shares are not considered outstanding.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard requires a financial asset to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The financial assets of the Company in scope of ASU 2016-13 will primarily be accounts receivable. The Company will estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable that result from the inability of customers to make required payments. In estimating the allowance for expected credit losses, consideration will be given to the current aging of receivables, historical experience, and a review for potential bad debts. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and it did not have an impact on its results of operations, financial position, and disclosures.

 

4. Equity Investment

 

BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd.)

 

On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd.), a company established under the laws of the State of Israel (“BTL”), pursuant to which the Company purchased 55,556 shares of BTL’s Series A Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series A Shares”) and a warrant to purchase 27,778 Series A Shares for aggregate consideration of $4,000,000, or approximately $72.00 per Series A Share. Following the closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company owns approximately 35.7% of BTL’s issued and outstanding equity securities and approximately 41.6% of BTL’s equity securities on a fully diluted basis. The Company also entered into customary investor rights and indemnification agreements with BTL. The Company therefore recorded an equity investment on our September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company’s equity in losses in excess of its investment are accounted for under the equity method and consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (rounded in nearest thousand):

The Company invested $4,000,000 in BTL as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The cash balance in BTL at September  30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 was approximately $0.6 million and the short-term time deposits in BTL at September 30, 2023 was approximately $2.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, BTL incurred a loss of approximately $179,000 and $86,000, respectively and accordingly, the Company recorded its share of the loss in investment in BTL, in accordance with the provisions in the Purchase Agreement, of approximately $64,000 and $31,000, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Costs incurred to file patent applications and acquired intangibles are capitalized when the Company believes that there is a high likelihood that the patent will be issued and there will be future economic benefit associated with the patent. The patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, determined to be 12-17 years from the date of acquisition. All costs associated with abandoned patent applications are expensed. In addition, the Company reviews the carrying value of patents for indicators of impairment on a periodic basis and if it determines that the carrying value is impaired, it values the patent at fair value. In accordance with the provisions of the applicable authoritative guidance, the Company’s long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of such assets by determining whether their carrying value can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows, including its estimates of revenue driven by assumed market segment share and estimated costs. If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value. The Company recently learned that Alfasigma (as defined below) is considering terminating further work under the License Agreement (as defined below) with the Company (see Note 8 for further information about the License Agreement). If Alfasigma were to terminate the License Agreement or cease further work under the License Agreement, the Company could be required to impair some or all of the patent assets associated with Brilacidin.

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $94,000 and $93,000, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2023, the future amortization period for all patents was approximately 2 years to 16.75 years. Future estimated amortization expenses are approximately $280,000 for the year ending June 30, 2024, $375,000 for the year ending June 30, 2025, $365,000 for the year ending June 30, 2026, $363,000 for the year ending June 30, 2027, $125,000 for the year ending June 30, 2028 and a total of $399,000 for the year ending June 30, 2029 and thereafter.

8. Exclusive License Agreement and Patent Assignment Agreement

 

On July 18, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Alfasigma S.p.A., a global pharmaceutical company (“Alfasigma”), granting Alfasigma the worldwide right to develop, manufacture and commercialize locally-administered Brilacidin for the treatment of UP/UPS.

 

Under the terms of the License Agreement, Alfasigma made an initial upfront non-refundable payment of $0.4 million to the Company in July, 2019 and will make additional payments of up to $24.0 million to the Company based upon the achievement of certain milestones, including a $1.0 million payment due following commencement of the first Phase 3 clinical trial of Brilacidin for UP/UPS and an additional $1.0 million payment upon the filing of a marketing approval application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency. At this time, Alfasigma has completed Phase 1 clinical research with Brilacidin. In addition to the milestones, Alfasigma will pay a royalty to the Company equal to six percent of net sales of Brilacidin for UP/UPS, subject to adjustment as provided in the License Agreement. The Company received an initial upfront non-refundable payment of $0.4 million and reported as revenue in July, 2019 and the Company did not receive any further milestone payment during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company recently learned that Alfasigma is considering terminating further work under the License Agreement, although as of the date of this report, Alfasigma has not notified the Company of the termination of the License Agreement or a cessation of further work under the License Agreement.

On April 13, 2022, the Company entered a Patent Assignment Agreement with Fox Chase Chemical Diversity Center, Inc. (“FCCDC”), pursuant to which the Company assigned the title, rights and interest in and to the applications of certain patents in accordance with an earlier collaborative research agreement related to antifungal drug discovery work to which the Company had rights. On May 3, 2022, the Company received payment of $18,000 from FCCDC based on FCCDC’s third-party license of broad-spectrum anti-fungals and a separate agreement between the Company and FCCDC. On January 18, 2023, the Company was notified by FCCDC that its third-party license with Basilea Pharmaceutica for development of broad-spectrum antifungals was terminated by the licensee.

 

9. Operating Leases

 

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

On January 22, 2020, the Company filed a complaint against Cummings Properties, LLC in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (C.A. No. 20-77CV00101), seeking, among other things, declaratory relief that the lease terminated in September 2018, as the Company’s prior principal executive offices did not automatically extend for an additional five years, return of the Company’s security deposit, and damages. On August 29, 2023, the trial for this case commenced and as of date of this filing, this trial is ongoing. The Company is currently unable to determine the probability of the trial outcome or reasonably estimate the loss or gain, if any.

Contractual Commitments

 

The Company has total non-cancellable contractual minimum commitments of approximately $0.5 million to contract research organizations as of September 30, 2023. Expenses are recognized when services are performed by the contract research organizations.

 

Contingent Liability - Disputed Invoices

 

The Company accrued payroll to Dr. Krishna Menon, ex-President of Research of approximately $1,443,000 for his past services with the Company, and this amount was included in accrued salaries and payroll taxes (see Note 7. Accrued Salaries and Payroll Taxes). As described in Note 11. Related Party Transactions, the Company has a payable to Kard Scientific, Inc. (“KARD”) of approximately $1,486,000 for its research and development expenses and this amount was included in accounts payable. KARD is a company owned by Dr. Menon. Dr. Menon’s employment was terminated with the Company on September 18, 2018, and Dr. Menon resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors on December 11, 2018. Dr. Menon, on behalf of himself and KARD, demanded payment of these amounts in October 2019; however, the Company disputes the underlying basis for these amounts and notified Dr. Menon in November 2019 of the Company’s intent not to pay them.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, all of the above disputed invoices were reflected as current liabilities.

 

11. Related Party Transactions

 

Pre-clinical Studies

 

The Company previously engaged KARD to conduct specified pre-clinical studies. The Company did not have an exclusive arrangement with KARD. All work performed by KARD needed prior approval by the executive officers of the Company, and the Company retained all intellectual property resulting from the services by KARD. The Company no longer uses KARD to conduct research study. At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the accrued research and development expenses payable to KARD was approximately $1,486,000 and this amount was included in accounts payable. Dr. Menon, the Company’s ex-principal shareholder and Director, on behalf of himself and KARD, demanded payment of these amounts in October 2019; however, the Company disputes the underlying basis for these amounts and notified Dr. Menon in November 2019 of the Company’s intent not to pay them.

 

Since September 1, 2013, the Company no longer leases space from KARD. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, rent payables to KARD of approximately $8,000, were included in accrued expenses.

 

12. Convertible Note Payable - Related Party

 

The Ehrlich Promissory Note C is an unsecured demand note with Mr. Ehrlich, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, that originated in 2010, bears 9% simple interest per annum and is convertible into the Company’s Class A common stock at $0.50 per share.  On May 8, 2012, the Company did not have the ability to repay the Ehrlich Promissory Note C loan of approximately $2,022,000 and agreed to change the interest rate from 9% simple interest to 10% simple interest.

Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock (“2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock”)

 

On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series B-2 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with KIPS Bay Select LP for the sale of an aggregate of 5,089 shares of the Company’s Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock (the “Series B-2 preferred stock”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. An initial closing for the sale of 3,053 shares of the Series B-2 preferred stock closed on December 9, 2020 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, and a second closing for the sale of 2,036 shares of the Series B-2 preferred stock closed on February 8, 2021 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. Under the Series B-2 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to an additional 10,178 shares of preferred stock. All warrants were exercised in 2020 and 2021.

 

The Series B-2 preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable under certain circumstances and, as such, is presented as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has elected to measure the value of its preferred stock using the fair value method with offsetting discounts associated with the fair value allocated to the warrants and for the intrinsic value attributed to the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The fair value of the Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) will be assessed at each subsequent reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in the profit and loss as a separate line item below the “loss from operations” section (See ASC 480-10-35-5).

 

The warrants issued in connection with the Series B-2 preferred stock are deemed to be free standing equity instruments and are recorded in permanent equity under additional paid in capital, based on a relative fair value allocation of proceeds, that is the warrants’ relative fair value to the Series B-2 preferred stock fair value (without the warrants), with an offsetting discount to the Series B-2 preferred stock. Given that the Series B-2 preferred stock is convertible at any time under these features, the underlying warrant discounts were accreted upon issuance and recorded as interest, resulting in no remaining discount to the Series B-2 preferred stock liability after the issuance.

 

The Company recorded the December 9, 2020 issuance of 3,053 shares Series B-2 Preferred Stock at approximately $2.1 million and the underlying Series 1 and Series 2 warrants at approximately $0.9 million in total by allocating the gross proceeds to Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) and warrants based on their relative fair values or direct valuation as appropriate. The Company recorded BCF of approximately $1.8 million associated with the issuance of the 3,053 shares of Series B-2 preferred stock to additional paid-in capital. The Company then recorded interest of approximately $2.7 million for the BCF and warrant discounts as a first day interest given that the Series B-2 convertible preferred shares can be converted at any time to common stock and given no set term.

 

The issuance costs associated with the Series B-2 preferred stock transaction were attributed to the Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) and to the Series 1 and Series 2 warrants based on their relative fair values. The issuance costs attributed to the warrants of approximately $10,000 were reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The issuances costs associated with the Series B-2 preferred stock liability of $25,000 was recorded immediately as an element of interest cost, which are reflected in interest expense - preferred stock on December 11, 2020.

 

The Company recorded the February 8, 2021 issuance of 2,036 shares Series B-2 Preferred Stock at approximately $1.5 million and the underlying Series 1 and Series 2 warrants at approximately $0.5 million in total by allocating the gross proceeds to Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) and warrants based on their relative fair values or direct valuation as appropriate. The Company recorded BCF of approximately $1.5 million associated with the issuance of the 2,036 shares of Series B-2 preferred stock to additional paid-in capital. The Company then recorded interest of approximately $2.0 million for the BCF and warrant discounts as a first day interest given that the Series B-2 convertible preferred shares can be converted at any time to common stock and given no set term.

Table of Contents

 

Underlying Series B-2 preferred stock dividends, paid quarterly, were accrued as interest (given the liability classification of the Series B-2 preferred stock) on a daily basis given fixed dividend terms under the Series B-2 preferred stock. The 5% accrued dividend is reported in interest expense-preferred stock in the condensed consolidated statements of operation. The Company accrued 5% dividends of $5,000 and $8,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The unpaid accrued dividends of $10,000 and $5,000 were included under current liability as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Terms of the 2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock

 

The rights and preferences of the preferred stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 4, 2020 (the “Certificate of Designation”). Each share of preferred stock has an initial stated value of $1,080 and may be converted at any time at the holder’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal of the lower of (i) $0.35 until August 15, 2021 and $0.50 thereafter, and (ii) 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on a trading day during the ten trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the conversion date. The conversion price may be adjusted following certain triggering events and subsequent equity sales and is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock.

 

The holders of the preferred stock are limited in the amount of stated value of the preferred stock they can convert on any trading day. The conversion cap limits conversions by the holders to the greater of $75,000 and an amount equal to 30% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding, and including, the conversion date. However, the conversion cap will be increased if the trading volume in the first 30 minutes of any trading session exceeds certain trailing average daily volume amounts. In addition, the holders of the preferred stock may not convert shares of preferred stock if, after giving effect to the conversion, a holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Redemption Rights

 

The Company may elect to redeem the preferred stock for 120% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the preferred stock. The Company’s right to redeem the preferred stock is contingent upon it having complied with a number of conditions, including compliance with its obligations under the Certificate of Designation.

 

Conversion of 2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock to common stock

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no conversion of 2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock to common stock.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock liability was approximately $0.5 million.

 

The fair value of the Series B convertible preferred stock is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement,” using option pricing methodologies, incorporating the following inputs:

Treasury Stock

 

All treasury stock, representing shares of the Company’s common stock that have been acquired for payroll tax withholding on vested stock grants and to satisfy the exercise price on vested stock options, is recorded at its acquisition cost and these shares are not considered outstanding.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had the total of 10,874,593 treasury shares, representing 8,516,056 shares of Class A common stock and 2,358,537 shares of Class B common stock held in treasury, and they were purchased at a total cumulative cost of approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

 

Surrender of Shares

 

On December 29, 2022, Mr. Ehrlich entered into a Share Surrender Agreement with the Company pursuant to which Mr. Ehrlich permanently surrendered all legal right, title, and interest in 11,307,527 shares of Class B common stock to the Company and relinquished all rights in such shares, free and clear of any liens, mortgages, adverse claims, charges, security interests, encumbrances, any interest of any third party, or other restrictions or limitations whatsoever of any kind. Mr. Ehrlich received no consideration from the Company or any other party in connection with the surrender. Mr. Ehrlich effected the Surrender solely for his individual tax planning purposes. These 11,307,527 shares of Class B common stock were retired and returned to Class B common stock on the same day.

 

15. Fair Value Measurements

 

We disclose and recognize the fair value of our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

 

Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and preferred stock liability. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximated fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

The Company has elected to measure its preferred stock using the fair value method. The fair value of the preferred stock is the estimated amount that would be paid to redeem the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company calculates the fair value of the Series B-2 Preferred stock using a lattice model that takes into consideration the future redemption value on the instrument, which is tied to the Company’s stock price.

 

These valuations are considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements as the significant inputs are unobservable and require significant management judgment or estimation. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company, or holders of the instruments, could realize in a current market exchange. Significant assumptions used in the fair value models include: the estimates of the redemption dates; credit spreads; dividend payments; and the market price of the Company’s common stock. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair values.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. You should review our important note about forward-looking statements preceding the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Part I. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company. The Company’s lead drug candidate Brilacidin is in a class of compounds called defensin-mimetics, small compounds that mimic the structure and function of defensins, also known as host defense peptides. The Company’s efforts are primarily focused on business development for the advancement of Brilacidin. The Company also owns an interest in BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (“BTL”), formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd., a private company developing a novel image guided surgical laser platform.

 

Recent Developments

 

The Company recently learned that Alfasigma is considering terminating further work under the License Agreement, although as of the date of this report, Alfasigma has not notified the Company of the termination of the License Agreement or a cessation of further work under the License Agreement.

 

Brilacidin is being studied by NIH/NIAID-affiliated and other independent researchers funded by US Government grants, as a potential broad-spectrum antifungal. We anticipate these studies to continue as long as researchers remain positive about the antifungal properties and therapeutic potential of Brilacidin and government funding is available.

 

On August 28, 2023, the Company announced a milestone in the development of BTL’s StingRay Laser System. At that time, BTL was in final preparations to submit its family of specially designed fiber optics for FDA clearance which BTL has since submitted.

 

Management’s Plan of Operation

 

The Company historically devoted most of its efforts and resources on business development, regulatory matters, and clinical trials. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient financial resources to advance our drug candidates meaningfully or at all. Contingent upon sufficient funding, we anticipate that our efforts would primarily focus on advancement of our drug candidate Brilacidin for decreasing the incidence of severe oral mucositis as a complication of chemoradiation in Oral Mucositis. The antiviral and antifungal properties of Brilacidin also present potential clinical development opportunities going forward should sufficient funding be obtained via grants and/or pharmaceutical company partnerships.

 

The Company is monitoring BTL’s progress in advancing its novel laser-based thermal ablation technology platform targeting epilepsy and oncology procedures. BTL will use the FDA 510(k) pathway to achieve its goal of marketing approval in the United States. BTL recently received certification of ISO13485 for their new facility. ISO 13485 is the medical industry’s medical device standard, which is designed to ensure that all medical devices meet the proper regulatory compliance laws and customer needs.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results which are found in Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and in Part I, Item 1 of this report. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which in turn may impact our reported revenue and expenses. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements to the condensed consolidated financial statements, for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their effect, if any, on our financial statements.

 

Results of Operations

 

We expect to incur losses from operations for at least the next few years. Contingent upon sufficient funding, we currently anticipate that future budget expenditures will be approximately $1.8 million for the next 12 months, including approximately $0.6 million for development activities, supportive research, and drug manufacturing. However, continuing operations for the next 12 months from the date of this filing is very much dependent upon our ability to raise capital from existing or new financing sources. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenue

 

We generated no revenue and incurred operating expenses of approximately $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Research and development expenses for proprietary programs decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to limited spending on our Brilacidin program for the three months ended September 30, 2023 because of our limited financial resources.

 

Employees payroll and payroll tax expenses were consistent during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to no personnel changes during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Stock-based compensation for employees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, because there were no options issued to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Stock-based compensation - consultants decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, because there were no options issued to consultants during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Our research and development expenses include costs related to preclinical and clinical trials, outsourced services and consulting, officers’ payroll and related payroll tax expenses, other wages and related payroll tax expenses, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses. Clinical studies and development expenses may decrease in future reporting periods depending on the Company’s current and future financial liquidity. We manage our proprietary programs based on scientific data and achievement of research plan goals. Accordingly, the accurate assignment of time and costs to a specific project is difficult and may not give a true indication of the actual costs of a particular project. As a result, we do not report costs on an individual program basis.

There was an increase in interest expenses paid on the note payable - related party, because of the increase in the note payable balance of $25,000 due to Mr. Ehrlich, the Company’s Chairman and CEO (see Note 12. Convertible Note Payable - Related Party of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Net Losses

 

We incurred net losses of $0.9 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because of the above-mentioned factors.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Capital Resources

 

Projected Future Working Capital Requirements - Next 12 Months

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $0.9 million in cash compared to $1.5 million of cash as of June 30, 2023, and as of the date of this filing, we have approximately $0.6 million in cash. Contingent upon sufficient funding, we currently anticipate that future budget expenditures will be approximately $1.8 million for the next 12 months, including approximately $0.6 million for development activities, supportive research, and drug manufacturing.

 

This assessment is based on current estimates and assumptions regarding our clinical development programs and business needs. Actual working capital requirements could differ materially from this above working capital projection.

 

Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of equity securities, when needed, is subject to many risks and uncertainties and even if we are successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Our risk factors are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

As a result of our increasingly limited financial resources, we have stopped or limited discretionary spending in recent months, resulting in a significant decline in our research and development expenses, among other expenditures. In the event that we are unable to raise additional funds from others, we may be required to further delay, reduce or severely curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our future business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available to us.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have negative working capital of $4.1 million and have incurred losses since inception of $126.2 million. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business and have been dependent on raising capital to fund operations from inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. Through the date of this report, management has been unable to secure additional financing, and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is becoming increasingly unlikely. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.1 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023 operating cash flows reflect our net loss of $0.9 million, noncash charges (stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense) of $0.2 million and a net decrease from changes in our working capital accounts of approximately $0.1 million.

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022 operating cash flows reflect our net loss of $1.4 million, noncash charges (stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense) of $0.3 million and a net increase from changes in our working capital accounts of approximately $0.3 million.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash used in our investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net cash used in our investing activities in 2022, decreased by approximately $2,000. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in patent costs.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net cash used in our financing activities in 2022, increased by approximately $0.1 million. The change was due primarily to a noted payable received in the current period, compared to a note repayment in the prior period, and decreases in dividends paid to preferred stockholders in the current period.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not raise any funds and received a note payable of $25,000 and paid no dividends on preferred stock.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not raise any funds, repaid a note payable of $6,000 and paid dividends on preferred stock of $38,000.

 

Requirement for Additional Working Capital

 

The Company, contingent on future sales of its securities, currently expects to incur total operating expenses of approximately $1.8 million for the next 12 months, including approximately $0.6 million for development activities, supportive research, and drug manufacturing. The Company has limited experience with pharmaceutical product development. As such, this budget estimate may change in the future. In addition, the actual work to be performed is not known at this time, other than a broad outline, as is normal with any scientific work. As further work is performed, additional work may become necessary or a change in plans or workload may occur. Such changes may have an adverse impact on our estimated budget and on our projected timeline of drug development.

 

As a result of our increasingly limited financial resources, we have stopped or limited discretionary spending in recent months, resulting in a significant decline in our research and development expenses, among other expenditures. In the event that we are unable to raise additional funds from others, we may be required to further delay, reduce or severely curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our future business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available to us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of September 30, 2023, management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, as of September 30, 2023, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

Notwithstanding the conclusion that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023, management believes that the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.

 

Material Weakness and Remediation Plan

 

As a result of the assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023, management concluded that the Company’s accounting procedures relevant to an unconsolidated foreign investment are not sufficiently formal that management can determine whether the applicable control objectives are met and adequate documentation supporting the procedures is in place. Specifically, the Company does not have sufficient controls to conclude that data from the unconsolidated foreign investee underlying the Company’s financial statements is captured completely, accurately and timely, in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures. This material weakness could result in a misstatement of the recorded equity investment as well as the equity in loss from equity investment that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management intends to enhance the Company’s internal control environment by refining policies and procedures applicable to the unconsolidated foreign investment, which may include (subject to securing adequate financial resources) the use of qualified consultants to assist the Company in addressing the design, operation and testing of such policies and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

 

In the opinion of the management of Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc., all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “Innovation,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Nature of Operations - Overview

 

We are in the business of developing or licensing innovative small molecule therapies. Our strategy is to maximize the value of our drug compound Brilacidin. The Company also acquired a non-controlling interest in BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (“BTL”), formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd., a private company developing a novel image guided surgical laser platform.

 

We currently own all development and marketing rights to our products, other than the license rights granted to Alfasigma S.p.A. in July 2019 for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of locally-administered Brilacidin for ulcerative proctitis/ulcerative proctosigmoiditis (“UP/UPS”). In order to successfully develop and market our products, we may have to partner with additional companies. Prospective partners may require that we grant them significant development and/or commercialization rights in return for agreeing to share the risk of development and/or commercialization.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management's Plan

2. Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plan

 

Our financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $0.9 million and negative cash flow from operations of $0.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has negative working capital of $4.1 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s cash amounted to $0.9 million and current liabilities amounted to $5.0 million. The Company has expended substantial funds on its clinical trials and expects to continue our spending on research and development expenditures, subject to having adequate available funding. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business and have been dependent on funding operations from inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities, if available, and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the period covered in this report, there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies the Company uses and has explained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The information below is intended only to supplement the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contract research accruals, recoverability of patent costs and other long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets, valuation of equity grants and income tax valuation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share are computed based on the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Except with respect to certain voting, conversion and transfer rights and as otherwise expressly provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for both classes. Common share equivalents consist of stock options, restricted stock, warrants, convertible related party notes payable, and convertible preferred stock. Common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, because their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

The 10,874,593 treasury shares include 8,516,056 shares of Class A common stock and 2,358,537 shares of Class B common stock held in treasury, and they were purchased at a total cumulative cost of approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (see Note 14. Equity Transactions).

 

Treasury stock, representing shares of the Company’s common stock that have been acquired for payroll tax withholding on vested stock grants and to satisfy the exercise price on vested stock options, is recorded at its acquisition cost and these shares are not considered outstanding.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard requires a financial asset to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The financial assets of the Company in scope of ASU 2016-13 will primarily be accounts receivable. The Company will estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable that result from the inability of customers to make required payments. In estimating the allowance for expected credit losses, consideration will be given to the current aging of receivables, historical experience, and a review for potential bad debts. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and it did not have an impact on its results of operations, financial position, and disclosures.

BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd.)

 

On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BT BeaMedical Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Squalus Medical Ltd.), a company established under the laws of the State of Israel (“BTL”), pursuant to which the Company purchased 55,556 shares of BTL’s Series A Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series A Shares”) and a warrant to purchase 27,778 Series A Shares for aggregate consideration of $4,000,000, or approximately $72.00 per Series A Share. Following the closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company owns approximately 35.7% of BTL’s issued and outstanding equity securities and approximately 41.6% of BTL’s equity securities on a fully diluted basis. The Company also entered into customary investor rights and indemnification agreements with BTL. The Company therefore recorded an equity investment on our September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company’s equity in losses in excess of its investment are accounted for under the equity method and consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (rounded in nearest thousand):

Costs incurred to file patent applications and acquired intangibles are capitalized when the Company believes that there is a high likelihood that the patent will be issued and there will be future economic benefit associated with the patent. The patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, determined to be 12-17 years from the date of acquisition. All costs associated with abandoned patent applications are expensed. In addition, the Company reviews the carrying value of patents for indicators of impairment on a periodic basis and if it determines that the carrying value is impaired, it values the patent at fair value. In accordance with the provisions of the applicable authoritative guidance, the Company’s long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of such assets by determining whether their carrying value can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows, including its estimates of revenue driven by assumed market segment share and estimated costs. If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value. The Company recently learned that Alfasigma (as defined below) is considering terminating further work under the License Agreement (as defined below) with the Company (see Note 8 for further information about the License Agreement). If Alfasigma were to terminate the License Agreement or cease further work under the License Agreement, the Company could be required to impair some or all of the patent assets associated with Brilacidin.

 

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $94,000 and $93,000, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2023, the future amortization period for all patents was approximately 2 years to 16.75 years. Future estimated amortization expenses are approximately $280,000 for the year ending June 30, 2024, $375,000 for the year ending June 30, 2025, $365,000 for the year ending June 30, 2026, $363,000 for the year ending June 30, 2027, $125,000 for the year ending June 30, 2028 and a total of $399,000 for the year ending June 30, 2029 and thereafter.

On July 18, 2019, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Alfasigma S.p.A., a global pharmaceutical company (“Alfasigma”), granting Alfasigma the worldwide right to develop, manufacture and commercialize locally-administered Brilacidin for the treatment of UP/UPS.

 

Under the terms of the License Agreement, Alfasigma made an initial upfront non-refundable payment of $0.4 million to the Company in July, 2019 and will make additional payments of up to $24.0 million to the Company based upon the achievement of certain milestones, including a $1.0 million payment due following commencement of the first Phase 3 clinical trial of Brilacidin for UP/UPS and an additional $1.0 million payment upon the filing of a marketing approval application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency. At this time, Alfasigma has completed Phase 1 clinical research with Brilacidin. In addition to the milestones, Alfasigma will pay a royalty to the Company equal to six percent of net sales of Brilacidin for UP/UPS, subject to adjustment as provided in the License Agreement. The Company received an initial upfront non-refundable payment of $0.4 million and reported as revenue in July, 2019 and the Company did not receive any further milestone payment during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company recently learned that Alfasigma is considering terminating further work under the License Agreement, although as of the date of this report, Alfasigma has not notified the Company of the termination of the License Agreement or a cessation of further work under the License Agreement.

 

On April 13, 2022, the Company entered a Patent Assignment Agreement with Fox Chase Chemical Diversity Center, Inc. (“FCCDC”), pursuant to which the Company assigned the title, rights and interest in and to the applications of certain patents in accordance with an earlier collaborative research agreement related to antifungal drug discovery work to which the Company had rights. On May 3, 2022, the Company received payment of $18,000 from FCCDC based on FCCDC’s third-party license of broad-spectrum anti-fungals and a separate agreement between the Company and FCCDC. On January 18, 2023, the Company was notified by FCCDC that its third-party license with Basilea Pharmaceutica for development of broad-spectrum antifungals was terminated by the licensee.

9. Operating Leases

 

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:

Litigation

 

On January 22, 2020, the Company filed a complaint against Cummings Properties, LLC in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (C.A. No. 20-77CV00101), seeking, among other things, declaratory relief that the lease terminated in September 2018, as the Company’s prior principal executive offices did not automatically extend for an additional five years, return of the Company’s security deposit, and damages. On August 29, 2023, the trial for this case commenced and as of date of this filing, this trial is ongoing. The Company is currently unable to determine the probability of the trial outcome or reasonably estimate the loss or gain, if any.

Contractual Commitments

 

The Company has total non-cancellable contractual minimum commitments of approximately $0.5 million to contract research organizations as of September 30, 2023. Expenses are recognized when services are performed by the contract research organizations.

 

Contingent Liability - Disputed Invoices

 

The Company accrued payroll to Dr. Krishna Menon, ex-President of Research of approximately $1,443,000 for his past services with the Company, and this amount was included in accrued salaries and payroll taxes (see Note 7. Accrued Salaries and Payroll Taxes). As described in Note 11. Related Party Transactions, the Company has a payable to Kard Scientific, Inc. (“KARD”) of approximately $1,486,000 for its research and development expenses and this amount was included in accounts payable. KARD is a company owned by Dr. Menon. Dr. Menon’s employment was terminated with the Company on September 18, 2018, and Dr. Menon resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors on December 11, 2018. Dr. Menon, on behalf of himself and KARD, demanded payment of these amounts in October 2019; however, the Company disputes the underlying basis for these amounts and notified Dr. Menon in November 2019 of the Company’s intent not to pay them.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, all of the above disputed invoices were reflected as current liabilities.

The Company no longer uses KARD to conduct research study. At September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the accrued research and development expenses payable to KARD was approximately $1,486,000 and this amount was included in accounts payable. Dr. Menon, the Company’s ex-principal shareholder and Director, on behalf of himself and KARD, demanded payment of these amounts in October 2019; however, the Company disputes the underlying basis for these amounts and notified Dr. Menon in November 2019 of the Company’s intent not to pay them.

 

Since September 1, 2013, the Company no longer leases space from KARD. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, rent payables to KARD of approximately $8,000, were included in accrued expenses.

Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock (“2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock”)

 

On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series B-2 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with KIPS Bay Select LP for the sale of an aggregate of 5,089 shares of the Company’s Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock (the “Series B-2 preferred stock”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. An initial closing for the sale of 3,053 shares of the Series B-2 preferred stock closed on December 9, 2020 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, and a second closing for the sale of 2,036 shares of the Series B-2 preferred stock closed on February 8, 2021 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million. Under the Series B-2 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase up to an additional 10,178 shares of preferred stock. All warrants were exercised in 2020 and 2021.

 

The Series B-2 preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable under certain circumstances and, as such, is presented as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has elected to measure the value of its preferred stock using the fair value method with offsetting discounts associated with the fair value allocated to the warrants and for the intrinsic value attributed to the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The fair value of the Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) will be assessed at each subsequent reporting date with changes in fair value recorded in the profit and loss as a separate line item below the “loss from operations” section (See ASC 480-10-35-5).

 

The warrants issued in connection with the Series B-2 preferred stock are deemed to be free standing equity instruments and are recorded in permanent equity under additional paid in capital, based on a relative fair value allocation of proceeds, that is the warrants’ relative fair value to the Series B-2 preferred stock fair value (without the warrants), with an offsetting discount to the Series B-2 preferred stock. Given that the Series B-2 preferred stock is convertible at any time under these features, the underlying warrant discounts were accreted upon issuance and recorded as interest, resulting in no remaining discount to the Series B-2 preferred stock liability after the issuance.

 

The Company recorded the December 9, 2020 issuance of 3,053 shares Series B-2 Preferred Stock at approximately $2.1 million and the underlying Series 1 and Series 2 warrants at approximately $0.9 million in total by allocating the gross proceeds to Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) and warrants based on their relative fair values or direct valuation as appropriate. The Company recorded BCF of approximately $1.8 million associated with the issuance of the 3,053 shares of Series B-2 preferred stock to additional paid-in capital. The Company then recorded interest of approximately $2.7 million for the BCF and warrant discounts as a first day interest given that the Series B-2 convertible preferred shares can be converted at any time to common stock and given no set term.

 

The issuance costs associated with the Series B-2 preferred stock transaction were attributed to the Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) and to the Series 1 and Series 2 warrants based on their relative fair values. The issuance costs attributed to the warrants of approximately $10,000 were reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The issuances costs associated with the Series B-2 preferred stock liability of $25,000 was recorded immediately as an element of interest cost, which are reflected in interest expense - preferred stock on December 11, 2020.

 

The Company recorded the February 8, 2021 issuance of 2,036 shares Series B-2 Preferred Stock at approximately $1.5 million and the underlying Series 1 and Series 2 warrants at approximately $0.5 million in total by allocating the gross proceeds to Series B-2 preferred stock (without the warrants) and warrants based on their relative fair values or direct valuation as appropriate. The Company recorded BCF of approximately $1.5 million associated with the issuance of the 2,036 shares of Series B-2 preferred stock to additional paid-in capital. The Company then recorded interest of approximately $2.0 million for the BCF and warrant discounts as a first day interest given that the Series B-2 convertible preferred shares can be converted at any time to common stock and given no set term.

Underlying Series B-2 preferred stock dividends, paid quarterly, were accrued as interest (given the liability classification of the Series B-2 preferred stock) on a daily basis given fixed dividend terms under the Series B-2 preferred stock. The 5% accrued dividend is reported in interest expense-preferred stock in the condensed consolidated statements of operation. The Company accrued 5% dividends of $5,000 and $8,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The unpaid accrued dividends of $10,000 and $5,000 were included under current liability as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Terms of the 2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock

 

The rights and preferences of the preferred stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B-2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 4, 2020 (the “Certificate of Designation”). Each share of preferred stock has an initial stated value of $1,080 and may be converted at any time at the holder’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal of the lower of (i) $0.35 until August 15, 2021 and $0.50 thereafter, and (ii) 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on a trading day during the ten trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the conversion date. The conversion price may be adjusted following certain triggering events and subsequent equity sales and is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock.

 

The holders of the preferred stock are limited in the amount of stated value of the preferred stock they can convert on any trading day. The conversion cap limits conversions by the holders to the greater of $75,000 and an amount equal to 30% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding, and including, the conversion date. However, the conversion cap will be increased if the trading volume in the first 30 minutes of any trading session exceeds certain trailing average daily volume amounts. In addition, the holders of the preferred stock may not convert shares of preferred stock if, after giving effect to the conversion, a holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Redemption Rights

 

The Company may elect to redeem the preferred stock for 120% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the preferred stock. The Company’s right to redeem the preferred stock is contingent upon it having complied with a number of conditions, including compliance with its obligations under the Certificate of Designation.

 

Conversion of 2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock to common stock

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no conversion of 2020 Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock to common stock.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock liability was approximately $0.5 million.

 

The fair value of the Series B convertible preferred stock is measured in accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement,” using option pricing methodologies, incorporating the following inputs:

 

 

 

June 30,

2023

Treasury Stock

 

All treasury stock, representing shares of the Company’s common stock that have been acquired for payroll tax withholding on vested stock grants and to satisfy the exercise price on vested stock options, is recorded at its acquisition cost and these shares are not considered outstanding.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had the total of 10,874,593 treasury shares, representing 8,516,056 shares of Class A common stock and 2,358,537 shares of Class B common stock held in treasury, and they were purchased at a total cumulative cost of approximately $2.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

 

Surrender of Shares

 

On December 29, 2022, Mr. Ehrlich entered into a Share Surrender Agreement with the Company pursuant to which Mr. Ehrlich permanently surrendered all legal right, title, and interest in 11,307,527 shares of Class B common stock to the Company and relinquished all rights in such shares, free and clear of any liens, mortgages, adverse claims, charges, security interests, encumbrances, any interest of any third party, or other restrictions or limitations whatsoever of any kind. Mr. Ehrlich received no consideration from the Company or any other party in connection with the surrender. Mr. Ehrlich effected the Surrender solely for his individual tax planning purposes. These 11,307,527 shares of Class B common stock were retired and returned to Class B common stock on the same day.

15. Fair Value Measurements

 

We disclose and recognize the fair value of our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

 

Level 2: Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and preferred stock liability. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximated fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

The Company has elected to measure its preferred stock using the fair value method. The fair value of the preferred stock is the estimated amount that would be paid to redeem the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company calculates the fair value of the Series B-2 Preferred stock using a lattice model that takes into consideration the future redemption value on the instrument, which is tied to the Company’s stock price.

 

These valuations are considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements as the significant inputs are unobservable and require significant management judgment or estimation. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company, or holders of the instruments, could realize in a current market exchange. Significant assumptions used in the fair value models include: the estimates of the redemption dates; credit spreads; dividend payments; and the market price of the Company’s common stock. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair values.

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of the Company’s beginning and ending Level 3 Series B-2 preferred stock liability balance for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended June 30, 2023:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contract research accruals, recoverability of patent costs and other long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets, valuation of equity grants and income tax valuation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share are computed based on the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Except with respect to certain voting, conversion and transfer rights and as otherwise expressly provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for both classes. Common share equivalents consist of stock options, restricted stock, warrants, convertible related party notes payable, and convertible preferred stock. Common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard requires a financial asset to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The financial assets of the Company in scope of ASU 2016-13 will primarily be accounts receivable. The Company will estimate an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable that result from the inability of customers to make required payments. In estimating the allowance for expected credit losses, consideration will be given to the current aging of receivables, historical experience, and a review for potential bad debts. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and it did not have an impact on its results of operations, financial position, and disclosures.
