Oragenics, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Oragenics, Inc. (formerly known as Oragen, Inc.) (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated in November 1996; however, operating activity did not commence until 1999. The Company is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of a variety of technologies associated with oral health, broad spectrum antibiotics and other general health benefits.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim period March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011 or any future period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011. In that report the Company disclosed that it expects to incur substantial expenditures to further develop each of its technologies and that it believes its working capital, together with access to the recently amended Credit Facility with the KFLP will be sufficient to meet the business objectives as presently structured through July 2011. Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional capital resources or consider modifications to its technology development plans to enable it to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include seeking financing, alliances or other partnership agreements with entities interested in the Company’s technologies, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to assure continuation of the Company’s operations and research and development programs.

The Company intends to seek additional funding through sublicensing arrangements, joint venturing or partnering, sales of rights to technology, government grants and public or private financings. The Company’s future success depends on its ability to raise capital and ultimately generate revenue and attain profitability. The Company cannot be certain that additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to it or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company issues additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of its common stock, and the Company’s current shareholders may experience dilution. If the Company is unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to curtail their current development programs, cut operating costs and forego future development and other opportunities. Without sufficient capital to fund their operations, the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 24, 2010, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of all of our authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) by filing Articles of Amendment to Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida. The par value of our common stock remained unchanged. The number of shares and per share amounts included in the financial statements and the accompanying notes have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split retroactively. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to number of shares, per share amounts and earnings per share information contained in this report give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17 “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition- a consensus of the FASB emerging Issues Task Force” that recognizes the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition method for substantive milestones in research or development arrangements. This standard would require its provisions be met in order for an entity to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone as revenue in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In addition, this ASU would require disclosure of certain information with respect to arrangements that contain milestones. ASU No. 2010-17 became effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years or interim periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance for the purpose of measuring the impairment old receivables and evaluating whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. An entity should disclose the total amount of receivables and the allowances for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption related to those receivables that are newly considered impaired under Section 310-10-35 for which impairment was previously measured under Subtopic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies. Currently, the guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three months ended March 31, 2011 have had or are expected to have had an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues from the sales of product when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped. Grant revenues are recognized as the reimbursable expenses are incurred over the life of the related grant. Grant revenues are deferred when reimbursable expenses have not been incurred.

We record allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sales as a reduction of revenues as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience or known trends. Product returns are limited to specific mass retail customers for expiration of shelf life or unsold product over a period of time. We maintain a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period of time prior to and subsequent to the expiration date of the product. Our estimate of the provision for returns is analyzed quarterly and is based upon many factors, including industry data of product return rates, historical experience of actual returns, analysis of the level of inventory in the distribution channel, if any, and reorder rates. If the history or our product returns changes, the reserve will be adjusted. While we believe that the reserves we have established are reasonable and appropriate based upon current facts and circumstances, applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances would result in the estimated amounts for sales returns and chargeback’s to vary. Because our ProBiora3 products have only recently been introduced, we could experience different circumstances in the future and these differences could be material.

The Company has granted guaranteed rights of return on several mass retail customer accounts. At this time there are only two active mass retail customer accounts with guaranteed rights of return. Orders are processed and shipped on these accounts however the Company defers recognition of revenue until the customer provides notification to the Company that the product has sold to the end consumer. Once notification has been received and verified, the Company will record revenue in that accounting period. Included in deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is $11,606 and $0, respectively of revenue deffered under guaranteed rights of return arrangements.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor and overhead, is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels and reserve for inventory that is expected to expire prior to being sold, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements, or inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off to the reserve for inventory obsolescence. The inventory reserve at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $199,948 and $255,814, respectively.

 

7


Consigned Inventory

The Company has authorized a consignment inventory arrangement with one of its mass retail customers. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has $62,427 and $64,999, respectively, of inventory on consignment located at the retailers stores and warehouses, has been fully reserved against. Once consignment inventory has been sold by this customer, the customer notifies the Company of the sale and the Company records revenue in that accounting period. The Company authorizes the replenishment of consignment inventory based on orders placed by the customer. The Company is provided with weekly reports of consignment sales activity and balances.

 

2. Net Loss Per Share

During all periods presented, the Company had securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented, shares associated with the convertible revolving note payable, stock options and warrants are not included because they are antidilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share amounts are the same for the periods presented. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

3. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts expected to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. Based on our historical operating losses, a valuation allowance has been recognized for all deferred tax assets.

In July 2006, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under GAAP, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

 

5. Stock Options Expense During the three months ended March 31, 2011

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 20,000 stock options to Mr. Brian Bohunicky, our Chief Financial Officer under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”). These options vest equally over a three (3) year period from the date of grant and are exerciseable at $3.60 per share, the price at closing on March 11, 2011, the date of the grant. From January 1, 2011 to the date of this filing no stock options previously granted have vested and 12,502 have been forfeited. Stock option compensation expense of $116,007 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is a non-cash expense. This amount is included in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

6. Restricted Common Stock Issued During the three months ended March 31, 2011

On March 11, 2011, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee awarded 10,000 shares of restricted common (non-vested shares) stock to each of Mr. Brian Bohunicky, our Chief Financial Officer and to Mr. Robert Koski, our director at a grant date fair value of $3.60 per share. The shares were awarded under the Company’s Plan. Half of the awarded shares vest in six (6) months and the other half on the anniversary date of the award. Stock compensation expense of $2,922 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and is a non-cash expense. This amount is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. At March 31, 2011, 20,000 shares of restricted common stock are non-vested. At March 31, 2011, there was $69,078 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted common stock that is expected to be recognized over a period of one year.

7. Short Term Notes Payable

On July 9, 2010, we entered into a non-interest bearing short-term note payable for $22,188 to finance a portion of our new enterprise resource planning system. Payments on this note began July 9, 2010 and are made quarterly with the final payment due on April 1, 2011. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance due was $5,547.

On July 20, 2010, we entered into a short-term note payable for $63,835 with an interest rate of 5.75% to finance directors and officers liability insurance. Payments on this note begin on August 24, 2010 and are made evenly based upon a straight line amortization over ten-month period with the final payment due on May 24, 2011. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balances due were $13,012 and $32,299, respectively.

On July 31, 2010, we entered into a short-term note payable for $85,185 bearing interest at 7.5% to finance a portion of our new enterprise resource planning system. Principal and interest payments on this note begin August 31, 2010 and are made evenly based on a straight line amortization over a 17-month period with the final payment due on December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balances due were $46,220 and $61,060, respectively.

On March 10, 2011, we entered into a short-tem note payable for $48,988 bearing interest at 5.48% to finance a portion of our product liability insurance. Principal and interest payments on this note begin April 10, 2011 and are made evenly based on a straight line amortization over a 10-month period with the final payment due on January 10, 2012. At March 31, 2011, the balance due was $44,190.

 

8. Convertible Revolving Note Payable to Shareholder

On July 30, 2010, in connection with the July 2010 Financing Transaction, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible revolving credit facility agreement with the Koski Family Limited Partnership (“KFLP”) (the “Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Credit Facility, we are able to borrow up to $2,000,000 from the KFLP at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The term of the Credit Facility was initially for 12 months commencing August 1, 2010. Our continued ability to draw on the Credit Facility is subject to (i) the receipt by the KFLP of a certificate of no adverse change from us in form and substance acceptable to the KFLP, (ii) the receipt by the KFLP of a revolving unsecured promissory note from us in the principal drawn down in the form attached to the Credit Facility and (iii) our compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility. On September 13, 2010, the Company drew down on the Credit Facility in the amount of one million dollars $1,000,000 and executed a revolving unsecured promissory note (the “September 2010 Promissory Note”) for such amount in favor of the KFLP. In addition, on November 8, 2010 the Company drew down on the remaining $1,000,000 of available funds under the Credit Facility and executed another revolving unsecured promissory note (the “November 2010 Promissory Note”).

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to its Credit Facility with the KFLP (the “First Amendment”) to increase the available borrowing from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and simultaneously therewith the Company drew on the Credit Facility as amended by the First Amendment to borrow the additional $500,000 in available funds and executed another revolving unsecured promissory note (the “January 2011 Promissory Note”) initially due on July 30, 2011.

On February 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Credit Facility with the KFLP. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Company will be able to borrow up to an additional $2,500,000 from the KFLP. Future draws under the Credit Facility, as amended, are limited to $500,000 per month commencing no earlier than March 2011. Under the Second Amendment, the due date of the amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Credit Facility, were extended by one year from July 30, 2011 to July 30, 2012. The interest rate remained at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The Second Amendment further provided for the automatic conversion of any amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Credit Facility into Company securities that may be issued by the Company in subsequent securities offerings. Any automatic conversion of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility would be on the same terms of any such offering. In addition, the Second Amendment provides the KFLP with the right to put any undrawn available amounts under the Credit Facility, as amended, to the Company and thereby have a note issued to the KFLP. The KFLP can exercise its put right to the extent it desires to fully participate, through the automatic conversion provision, in any subsequent offering by the Company.

On March 15, 2011, we borrowed an additional $500,000 under the Credit Facility, as amended and executed a revolving unsecured promissory note (the “March 2011 Promissory Note”) in such amount. The March 2011 Promissory Note matures on July 30, 2012.

 

9. Outstanding Warrants and Stock Options

As of the date of this filing there are approximately 306,388 warrants outstanding and there are approximately 387,334 outstanding stock options that have been granted that have not been forfeited. The total number of outstanding warrants and unexercised stock options is 693,721. If all warrants and stock options were exercised, the total number of outstanding shares would be 6,376,798.

 

10. Subsequent Events

On April 5, 2011, we borrowed an additional $500,000 under the Credit Facility, as amended and executed a revolving unsecured promissory note (the “April 2011 Promissory Note”) in such amount. The April 2011 Promissory Note matures on July 30, 2012.

On May 5, 2011, we borrowed an additional $500,000 under the Credit Facility, as amended and executed a revolving unsecured promissory note (the “May 2011 Promissory Note”) in such amount. The May 2011 Promissory Note matures on July 30, 2012.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused primarily on oral health products and novel antibiotics. Within oral health, we are developing our pharmaceutical product candidate, SMaRT Replacement Therapy, and we are also commercializing our oral probiotic blend, ProBiora3. Within antibiotics, we are developing our pharmaceutical product candidate, MU1140-S, and we intend to use our patented, novel organic chemistry platform to create additional antibiotics for therapeutic use.

Our SMaRT Replacement Therapy product candidate is designed to be a painless, one-time, five-minute topical treatment applied to the teeth that has the potential to offer lifelong protection against dental caries, or tooth decay. Our SMaRT Replacement Therapy is based on the creation of a genetically modified strain of bacteria that colonizes in the oral cavity and replaces native bacteria that cause tooth decay. We commenced a second Phase 1 clinical trial for SMaRT Replacement Therapy which we expect to conclude in second half of 2011.

We have also developed and are commercializing a variety of products that contain the active ingredient ProBiora3, a patented blend of oral probiotics that promote fresher breath, whiter teeth and support overall oral health. We have conducted extensive scientific studies on ProBiora3 in order to market our products under self-affirmed Generally Recognized As Safe status, or GRAS. We sell our ProBiora3 products through multiple distribution channels.

While developing SMaRT Replacement Therapy, members of our scientific team discovered that the SMaRT bacterial strain produces MU1140, a molecule belonging to the novel class of antibiotics known as lantibiotics. MU1140 has proven active preclinically against Gram positive bacteria responsible for a number of HAIs. We are in the process of scaling up production of our synthetic form of MU1140, or MU1140-S, and expect to commence preclinical testing and to file an Investigational New Drug, or IND, application with the FDA in 2012 as our capital resources permit. The key technology behind the production of MU1140-S is our Differentially Protected Orthogonal Lanthionine Technology platform, or DPOLT, which is a patented, novel organic chemistry platform that we believe will enable the first ever commercial scale, cost-effective production of any of the 50 known lantibiotics. We intend to use DPOLT to create a pipeline of lantibiotics for therapeutic use. Additionally, we are developing non-core technologies that originated from the discoveries of our scientific team, including LPT3-04, which is a weight loss product, and PCMAT, which is a biomarker discovery platform, both of which we believe could provide significant potential opportunities for us.

We were incorporated in November 1996 and commenced operations in 1999. We consummated our initial public offering in June 2003. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to the commercialization of our ProBiora3 products as well as our discovery efforts comprising research and development, clinical trials for our product candidates, protection of our intellectual property and the general and administrative support of these operations. We have generated limited revenues from grants and ProBiora3 product sales through March 31, 2011, and have principally funded our operations through the sale of debt and equity securities, including the exercise of warrants issued in connection with these financing transactions. Prior to 2008 our revenues were derived solely from research grants. Since 2008, our revenues have also included sales of our ProBiora3 products, which we initiated in late 2008. Our net revenues were $349,937 and $341,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1,308,910 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

We have never been profitable and, as of March 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $34,876,061. We incurred net losses of $1,559,013 and $1,747,199 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $7,805,165 for the year ended December 31, 2010. We expect to incur significant and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we seek to advance our product candidates through preclinical testing and clinical trials to ultimately obtain regulatory approval and eventual commercialization. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements appearing in our 2010 Form 10-K contains an explanatory paragraph stating that our operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and our need to raise additional financing and/or financial support prior to July 31, 2011 in order to continue to fund our operations, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We expect that research and development expenses will increase along with general and administrative costs, as we grow and operate our business. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Recent Developments

On April 21, 2011, we announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent notification (number 7931892) for ProBiora3® our proprietary blend of naturally occurring oral bacteria strain to produce a range of oral care benefits. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued the patent on April 26, 2011.

We have moved forward with our efforts to begin a clinical trial study of our weight loss product (LPT3-04). LPT3-04 is a naturally occurring compound, which is normally consumed in the human diet in small amounts. In the course of our SMaRT Replacement Therapy research, we discovered that consumption of significantly larger amounts of LPT3-04 resulted in dose-dependent weight loss in experimental animal models. The mechanism of action appears to be induction of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, specifically in white fat cells. LPT3-04 consumption in the required amounts has been shown to be safe in humans. Anecdotally, weight loss has been observed in human volunteers. Due to the natural sweetness of LPT3-04 and the relatively large amounts of it that need to be consumed on a daily basis to achieve the desired weight loss effect, current product development efforts are focused on incorporating the compound into bars, milkshakes, and other food products. We have developed and ordered the weight loss bar product in the second quarter of 2011 to be used in a blinded placebo-controlled study to begin in the third quarter of 2011. We have submitted a patent application for the use of LPT3-04 for weight regulation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or U.S. PTO.

On January 24, 2011, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) to our existing Credit Facility with the Koski Family Limited Partnership or KFLP, (the “KFLP”), our largest shareholder. The First Amendment increased the available borrowing on the Credit Facility from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and simultaneously with entering into the First Amendment we drew on the additional $500,000 in available funds.

On February 4, 2011, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility with the KFLP. As a result of the Second Amendment, we are able to borrow up to an additional $2,5000,000 from the KFLP. Future draws under the Credit Facility, as amended, are limited to $500,000 per month commencing no earlier than March 2011. Under the Second Amendment, the due date of the amounts outstanding under the existing Credit Facility, were extended by one year from July 30, 2011 to July 30, 2012. The interest rate remained at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The Second Amendment further provided for the automatic conversion of any amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Credit Facility into Company securities that may be issued by us in subsequent securities offerings. Any automatic conversion of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility would be on the same terms of any such offering. In addition, the Second Amendment provided the KFLP with the right to put any undrawn available amounts under the Credit Facility, as amended, to us and thereby have a note issued to the KFLP. The KFLP can exercise its put right to the extent it desires to fully participate, through the automatic conversion provision, in any subsequent offering by us.

On March 15, 2011, April 5, 2011 and May 5, 2011, we drew an additional $500,000 on the Credit Facility, as amended. We expect to continue to need to draw on the available borrowings under the Credit Facility each month while we seek to raise additional capital. With these borrowings included, we have an aggregate of $4,000,000 outstanding and owed under the Credit Facility, as amended and $1,000,000 of remaining availability.

We have continued our efforts to broaden the distribution of our ProBiora3 products through the following business development activities:

Distribution Agreements:

 

   

API Consumer Brands: On May 2, 2011, we announced that EvoraPlus and EvoraKids will be available in Australia and New Zealand through a distribution agreement with API Consumer Brands, which offers distribution through their network of 4000 independent pharmacies as well as their 350 corporate-owned Priceline stores.

 

12


   

The Company of Animals, Ltd: April 14, 2011, we reached an agreement with The Company of Animals that will allow distribution of Teddy’s Pride under their private label to their network of pet retailers, veterinarians, mass merchants and supermarkets in the United Kingdom.

 

   

Henry Schein, Inc: On March 31, 2011, we reached an agreement with Henry Schein, Incorporated that will enable sales of EvoraPro through their vast network of dental practitioners across the U.S.

 

   

Central Pet and Garden: On March 14, 2011, we reached an agreement with Central Pet and Garden that allows distribution of Teddy’s Pride through Central Pet’s network of over 3000 pet distribution retail stores throughout the U.S. through a distribution agreement.

Exhibitions:

 

   

Global Pet Exp: From March 16-18, 2011, we exhibited Teddy’s Pride to product retail buyers from around the world.

We are impacted by various trends and uncertainties, including the uncertainty associated with the availability of sufficient capital resources to execute our plans and conduct our operations. During the first quarter we changed our mass retail strategy because our available capital resources currently limit our ability to engage in significant advertising and marketing campaigns. Following our previously announced withdrawal from Rite Aid and GNC, we have notified our remaining mass retail customers of our intent to withdraw from their stores over the next several months and have agreed on a various transition plans with each customer. Our current sales strategy is focused on growth through direct-to-consumer, professional offices, private label, international distribution and licensing channels. We have recently acquired new agreements which increase access into these channels and are expected to generate sales growth throughout the year. Our recently announced ProBiora3 patent provides immediate opportunities in global private label and licensing opportunities in major product categories such as food and beverage, health and wellness, pet care and nutrition. Product suppliers in these categories, ranging from those with well established brands to newer market entrants, will be able to achieve newfound product differentiation with ProBiora3, as its beneficial characteristics provide a meaningful value added benefit to consumers.

Package and Delivery Transition

We are continually attentive to the needs of the market and ultimate consumers regarding the use of our ProBiora3 products and as such continue to seek ways to revise and improve on our product delivery mechanisms. For example, we are undergoing a change from a blister pack of 60 tablets to a bottled container of 30 tablets to be taken once daily (as opposed to twice daily) for our consumer EvoraPlus, EvoraKids and EvoraPro products based on our understanding of customer preferences. We have added a 30 day container supply of our EvoraPet product to our current 60 day container supply. We have begun to implement these improvements and expect the changes in delivery mechanisms or packaging to result in increased expenses in future periods while the change is being implemented. At the same time, these improvements will result in lowering our product costs. As of March 31, 2011, we have reserves for inventory in the amount of $199,948 and sales returns in the amount of $227,396 to replace our existing inventory and customer held inventory as a result of this change.

Financial Overview

Net Revenues

Our revenues prior to 2008 consisted exclusively of grant funding from government agencies under the National Science Foundation’s, or NSF, and National Institutes of Health’s, or NIH, Small Business Innovation Research, or SBIR, grants. Since the initial launch of our ProBiora3 products in late 2008, our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 also included sales of our ProBiora3 products. Sales of our ProBiora3 products were $299,065 and $299,569, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Because of our efforts to increase the distribution of our ProBiora3 products, we expect net revenues to increase in the future. However, our success will depend on a number of factors, including our marketing efforts related to our ProBiora3 products.

We expect that our revenues will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the volume of sales of our products and the amount of license fees, research and development reimbursements, milestone and other payments we may receive upon any license or strategic partnerships we may enter into in the future.

 

13


Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold includes the production and manufacture of our ProBiora3 products, as well as shipping and processing expenses and scrap expense. Scrap expense represents product rework charges, inventory adjustments, inventory replacement reserves, and damaged inventory. We expect our costs of goods sold to increase as we implement our packaging and delivery mechanism changes and expand our distribution and sales efforts for our ProBiora3 products.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates. These expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits and attending science conferences; expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our preclinical studies; the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials; facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and equipment, and depreciation of fixed assets; license fees for and milestone payments related to in-licensed products and technology; stock-based compensation expense; and costs associated with non-clinical activities and regulatory approvals. We expense research and development costs as incurred.

We plan to increase our research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we seek to advance the development of our SMaRT Replacement Therapy and MU1140-S product candidates, and to further advance our earlier stage research and development projects, such as LPT3-04, our potential weight loss product, and PCMAT, our biomarker discovery platform.

Prior to January 1, 2009, we did not track our internal research and development costs or our personnel and personnel-related costs on a project-by-project basis, instead, our research and development resources were allocated among all of our programs. Since January 1, 2009, we have tracked development expenses and personnel expense on a project-by-project basis and have allocated common expenses, such as scientific consultants and lab supplies, to each program based on the personnel resources allocated to each program.

Our research and development expenses were $412,901 and $444,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our research and development expenses can be divided into (i) clinical research and development, and (ii) preclinical research and development activities. Clinical research and development costs consist of clinical trials, manufacturing services, regulatory activities and related personnel costs, and other costs such as rent, utilities, depreciation and stock-based compensation. Preclinical research and development costs consist of our research activities, preclinical studies, related personnel costs and laboratory supplies, and other costs such as rent, utilities, depreciation and stock-based compensation. While we are currently focused on advancing each of our product development programs, our future research and development expenses will depend on the clinical success of each product candidate, as well as ongoing assessments of each product candidate’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase in the future as we continue the advancement of our clinical trials and preclinical product development programs. The lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval for our product candidates requires expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could cause a delay in generating product revenues and cause our research and development expenses to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our current product development candidates are not expected to be commercially available before the end of 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, business development, marketing, information technology, legal and human resources functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, patent filing, prosecution and defense costs and professional fees for legal, consulting, auditing and tax services.

 

14


We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase for, among others, the following reasons:

 

   

the sales and marketing of our ProBiora3 products;

 

   

to support our research and development activities, which, subject to available capital, we expect to expand as we continue the development of our product candidates;

 

   

the efforts we undertake from, time to time, to raise additional capital; and

 

   

the increased payroll, expanded infrastructure and higher consulting, legal, accounting and investor relations costs associated with being a public company.

Other Income and (Expense)

Other income and expense includes gain or loss on sale of assets and local business taxes as well as interest income and expense. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment policy is capital preservation. Interest expense consists primarily of interest and costs associated with our convertible revolving note payable to shareholder and short term notes payable.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2010, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $30,150,000. Our net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire, if not used, by 2031. Our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited in the event a change in ownership, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, has occurred or may occur in the future. The private placement transaction with the KFLP in June 2009 (the “June 2009 Private Placement”) constituted such an event and our historical loss carryfowards were limited. See “Tax Loss Carryforwards.” In each period since our inception, we have recorded a 100% valuation allowance for the full amount of our deferred tax asset, as the realization of the deferred tax asset is uncertain. As a result, we have not recorded any federal tax benefit in our statements of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been made could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements are stock-based compensation, valuation of warrants, sales returns and allowances and allowance for doubtful accounts.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues from the sales of product when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which is generally when the product is shipped. Grant revenues are recognized as the reimbursable expenses are incurred over the life of the related grant. Grant revenues are deferred when reimbursable expenses have not been incurred. We record allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sales as a reduction of revenues as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience or known trends. Product returns are limited to specific mass retail customers for expiration of shelf life or unsold product over a period of time. We maintain a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period of time prior to and subsequent to the expiration date of the product. Our estimate of the provision for returns is analyzed quarterly and is based upon many factors, including industry data of product return rates, historical experience of actual returns, analysis of the level of inventory in the distribution channel, if any, and reorder rates. If the history or our product returns changes, the reserve will be adjusted. While we believe that the reserves we have established are reasonable and appropriate based upon current facts and circumstances, applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances would result in the estimated amounts for sales returns and chargebacks to vary. Because our ProBiora3 products have only recently been introduced, we could experience different circumstances in the future and these differences could be material.

 

15


The Company has granted guaranteed rights of return on several mass retail customer accounts. At this time there are only two active mass retail customer accounts with guaranteed rights of return. Orders are processed and shipped on these accounts however the Company defers recognition of revenue until the customer provides notification to the Company that the product has sold to the end consumer. Once notification has been received and verified, the Company will record revenue in that accounting period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value and consist of trade receivables from the sale of product to customers. We analyze accounts receivable on a monthly basis and determine the collectability based on the facts and circumstances relating to each customer. The company estimates their allowance for doubtful accounts based on sales trends and specific review of the creditworthiness of each customer.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor and overhead, is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels and reserve for inventory that is expected to expire prior to being sold, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements, or inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off to the reserve for inventory obsolescence. The inventory reserve at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was approximately $199,948 and $255,814, respectively.

Consigned Inventory

The Company has authorized a consignment inventory arrangement with one of its mass retail customers. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has $62,427 and $64,999, respectively of inventory on consignment located at the retailers stores and warehouses, which has been fully reserved against. Once consignment inventory has been sold by this customer, the customer notifies the Company of the sale and the Company records revenue in that accounting period. The Company authorizes the replenishment of consignment inventory based on orders placed by the customer. The Company is provided with weekly reports of consignment sales activity and balances.

Stock-Based Compensation

U.S. GAAP requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values as of the grant dates. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us, to the extent the options or warrants do not vest at the grant date and are not subject to forfeiture.

Restricted Stock

The Company values restricted stock based on the grant date fair value. The grant date fair value is determined by the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts expected to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. Based on our historical operating losses, a valuation allowance has been recognized for all deferred tax assets.

In July 2006, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under GAAP, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17 “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition- a consensus of the FASB emerging Issues Task Force” that recognizes the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition method for substantive milestones in research or development arrangements. This standard would require its provisions be met in order for an entity to recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a substantive milestone as revenue in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. In addition, this ASU would require disclosure of certain information with respect to arrangements that contain milestones. ASU No. 2010-17 became effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years or interim periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance for the purpose of measuring the impairment old receivables and evaluating whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. An entity should disclose the total amount of receivables and the allowances for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption related to those receivables that are newly considered impaired under Section 310-10-35 for which impairment was previously measured under Subtopic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies. Currently, the guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three months ended March 31, 2011 have had or are expected to have had an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Net Revenues. We generated net revenues of $349,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $341,483 in the same period in 2010. Our ProBiora3 revenues increased from Q1 2010 but were off-set primarily by increases in returns and allowances of $109,572 due to reserves against mass retail sales.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $94,977 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $198,901 in the same period in 2010, a decrease of $103,924. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in scrap expense of $123,858. Cost of goods sold includes the production and manufacturing costs of our ProBiora3 products sold of $102,962, shipping and processing expenses of $34,371, and credit to scrap expense of $42,356. Scrap expense represents scrap charges of $13,509 and a credit adjustment to the December 31, 2010 inventory reserve of $55,865 to record product sold in the first quarter of 2011.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $412,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $444,368 in the same period in 2010, a decrease of $31,467, or 7%. This decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to reductions in consulting fees $67,084 as a result of cost cutting actions taken in the latter half in 2010. In addition other cost savings included conference expenses of $17,605 and depreciation expense of $14,078 which were off-set by increases in patent cost spending of $52,035 and employee related expenses of $17,286.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,357,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,446,629 in the same period in 2010, a decrease of $89,183, or 6%. This decrease was due to reductions in consulting fees of $215,585 as a result of cost cutting actions taken in the latter half in 2010 and advertising and marketing expense savings of $47,143 due to the withdrawal from the mass retail channel in the first quarter of 2011. In addition general and administrative expense savings were offset primarily by increases in salary and fringe costs of $63,387 as a result of additional staff, Board of Director fees of $56,879 and increases in accounting and professional support service fees of $53,900.

 

17


Other Income (Expense). Other income and expense was $43,626 of other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,216 of other income in the same period in 2010, an increase of expenses of $44,842. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense of $43,781 and a decrease in interest income of $1,712.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities in our initial public offering, the sale of equity securities and warrants in private placements, debt financing and grants. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our operating activities used cash of $1,123,621 and $1,914,484, respectively. The use of cash in all periods primarily resulted from our net losses adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. We had negative working capital of $547,512 and $127,518 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our investing activities used cash of $0 and $6,198, respectively. The cash used in connection with investing activities related to purchases of equipment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our financing activities provided cash of $1,047,951 and $2,078,215, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities in the months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the release of restrictions on cash, borrowings under a convertible revolving note payable from a shareholder, offset by reductions in short term notes payable. The cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to the release of restrictions on cash, borrowings under short term notes payable and proceeds from issuance of common stock, offset by reductions in short term notes payable.

Additional details of our financing activities for the periods reflected in this report are provided below:

May 2010 Note Financing

On May 28, 2010, we entered into an unsecured promissory note with a conversion provision (the “May 2010 Note”) to the KFLP pursuant to which we borrowed $1,000,000 from the KFLP. Interest on the May 2010 Note accrued at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.0% and the principal of the May 2010 Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, was due and payable the earlier of: (i) the closing date of a registered public offering of newly issued equity securities by us resulting in cash proceeds to us, other than in connection with employee option plans, or (ii) the May 24, 2011 maturity date; provided, however, that in the event we completed a subsequent private offering of equity securities prior to the May 24, 2011 maturity date, we could elect to convert the principal of the May 2010 Note into the same equity securities being sold in the private offering at the same price and terms to the KFLP.

July 2010 Financing Transaction

On July 5, 2010, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “July 2010 Financing Transaction”) with the KFLP. At the closing of this financing transaction on July 30, 2010 we issued 250,000 shares of our common stock to the KFLP at a price of $8.00 per share. The $2,000,000 aggregate consideration paid by the KFLP consisted of (i) $1,000,000 cash and (ii) the exchange and cancellation of the outstanding May 2010 Note issued to the KFLP on May 28, 2010. Accrued interest on the May 2010 Note through closing was waived by the KFLP.

Concurrent with the July 2010 Financing Transaction and as part thereof, we entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with the KFLP. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, we are able to borrow up to $2,000,000 from the KFLP at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The term of the Credit Facility is for 12 months commencing August 1, 2010. Our ability to draw on the Credit Facility is subject to (i) the receipt by the KFLP of a certificate of no adverse change from us in form and substance acceptable to the KFLP, (ii) the receipt by the KFLP of a revolving unsecured promissory note from us in the principal drawn down in the form attached to the Credit Facility and (iii) our compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility.

On September 13, 2010, we drew down on the Credit Facility in the amount of $1,000,000 and executed a revolving unsecured promissory note (the “September 2010 Promissory Note”) for such amount in favor of the KFLP. In addition, on November 8, 2010 we drew down on the remaining $1.0 million of available funds under the Credit Facility and executed another revolving unsecured promissory note (the “November 2010 Promissory Note”). The September 2010 Promissory Note and November 2010 Promissory Note each initially matured on July 30, 2011 until the Second Amendment discussed below, which extended the maturity date to July 30, 2012.

 

18


On January 24, 2011, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) to increase the available borrowing from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and simultaneously therewith we drew on the Credit Facility as amended by the First Amendment to borrow the additional $500,000 in available funds and executed another revolving unsecured promissory note (the “January 2011 Promissory Note”) initially due on July 30, 2011.

On February 4, 2011, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility with the KFLP. As a result of the Second Amendment, we are able to borrow up to an additional $2,500,000 from the KFLP. Future draws under the Credit Facility, as amended, are limited to $500,000 per month commencing no earlier than March 2011. Under the Second Amendment, the due date of the amounts then outstanding under the Credit Facility, (the September 2010 Promissory Note, November 2010 Promissory Note and January 2011 Promissory Note) were extended by one year from July 30, 2011 to July 30, 2012. The interest rate remained at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The Second Amendment further provided for the automatic conversion of any amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Credit Facility into securities that we may issue in subsequent securities offerings. Any automatic conversion of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility would be on the same terms of any such offering. In addition, the Second Amendment provides the KFLP with the right to put any undrawn available amounts under the Credit Facility, as amended, to us and thereby have a note issued to the KFLP. The KFLP can exercise its put right to the extent it desires to fully participate, through the automatic conversion provision, in any subsequent offering by us.

On each of March 15, 2011, April 5, 2011 and May 5,2011, we borrowed an additional $500,000 under the Credit Facility, as amended and executed a revolving unsecured promissory notes in such amount that each mature on July 30, 2012. With these borrowings included, we have an aggregate of $4,000,000 outstanding and owed under the Credit Facility, as amended and $1,000,000 of remaining availability.

Other Financings

On March 17, 2010, we entered into a short-term note payable for $50,637 with an interest rate of 5.75% to finance product liability insurance. Payments on this note are made evenly based on a straight line amortization over a ten-month period and was repaid in full at January 31, 2011.

On July 9, 2010, we entered into a non-interest bearing short-term note payable for $22,188 to finance a portion of our new enterprise resource planning system. Payments on this note began July 9, 2010 and was repaid in full at April 8, 2011.

On July 20, 2010 we entered into a short-term note payable for $63,835 with an interest rate of 5.75% to finance directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Payments on this note begin on August 24, 2010 and are made evenly based upon a straight line amortization over a ten-month period with the final payment due on May 24, 2011.

On July 31, 2010, we entered into a short-term note payable for $85,185 bearing interest at 7.5% to finance a portion our new enterprise resource planning system. Principal and interest payments on this note begin August 31, 2010 and are made evenly based on a straight line amortization over a 17-month period with the final payment due on December 31, 2011.

On March 10, 2011, we entered into a short-term notes payable for $48,988 bearing interest at 5.48% to finance product liability insurance. Payments on this note are made evenly based on a straight line amortization over a ten-month period with the final payment due on January 10, 2012.

Grants

On June 10, 2010, we were awarded the matching $500,000 grant from the NSF to support the previously awarded SBIR Phase II grant for further development of our DPOLT platform. On June 17, 2010, we received $125,000 and on February 25, 2011 we received $125,000 related to this NSF awarded SBIR II Phase II grant for the company’s DPOLT platform. Proceeds from the financing are to be allocated to further the development of our DPOLT platform, essential to the production of our lead antibiotic, MU1140, subject to the goals set forth by the NSF SBIR Phase II grant received by us. The remainder of these grant funds are expected to be provided to us in $125,000 increments over 18 to 24 months from the grant dates.

Tax Credit

On November 1, 2010, we received notification that we were awarded federal grant funding for three of its therapeutic development programs under the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project. The Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project, was recently enacted by Congress as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, which was designed to provide grants or tax credits to qualified biotechnology companies that demonstrate the potential to either 1) develop new therapies to treat areas of unmet medical needs; 2) prevent, detect or treat chronic or acute diseases and conditions; 3) reduce long-term health care costs in United States; or 4) significantly advance the goal of curing cancer within the 30 year period beginning on May 21, 2010. We applied for funding on three of its programs: Prevention of Tooth Decay using Smart Replacement Therapy, Novel Antibiotics for the Treatment of Healthcare Associated Infections and Rapid and Sensitive Identification of Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers for Cancer and Infectious Diseases. We received a non-taxable cash grant award totaling $733,437 under the program. A payment of $371,219 was made to us in November 2010 and remaining grant award amount of $362,218 was received in February, 2011.

Future Capital Requirements

Our capital requirements for the remainder of 2011 will depend on numerous factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts and of our research and development, the resources we devote to develop and support our technologies and the success of pursuing strategic licensing and funded product development relationships with external partners. Subject to our ability to generate revenues and cash flow from our ProBiora3 products and our ability to raise additional capital including through possible joint ventures and/or partnerships, we expect to incur substantial expenditures to further commercialize or develop each of our technologies including continued increases in costs related to research, preclinical testing and clinical studies, as well as significant costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company. We will require substantial funds to conduct research and development and preclinical and Phase 1 clinical testing of our licensed, patented technologies and to develop sublicensing relationships for the Phase 2 and 3 clinical testing and manufacture and marketing of any products that are approved for commercial sale. Our plans include seeking both equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements with entities interested in our technologies, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations and research and development programs.

In addition, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements appearing in our Form 10-K contains an explanatory paragraph stating that our operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and our need to raise additional financing and/or financial support prior to December 31, 2011 in order to continue to fund our operations, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital we will need to significantly modify our operational plans for us to continue as a going concern.

Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents together with the borrowings under our Credit Facility, as amended and grant funds will allow us to fund our operating plan through July 2011. We will need to raise capital through the additional sale of equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We also require additional capital beyond our currently forecasted amounts, such as, for example, if we determine to proceed independently with a Phase 3 clinical trial for our SMaRT Replacement Therapy. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned clinical testing, research and development and commercialization activities, which could harm our business.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with sales of our ProBiora3 products as well as research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

   

the cash flow generated from our ProBiora3 product sales;

 

   

the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;

 

   

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting preclinical and clinical trials;

 

20


   

the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

 

   

the cost of commercialization activities for our ProBiora3 products and, if any of our product candidates are approved for sale, including marketing, sales and distribution costs;

 

   

the cost of manufacturing our ProBiora3 products and product candidates and any products we successfully commercialize;

 

   

our ability to establish strategic partnerships, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements;

 

   

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of such litigation; and

 

   

the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or royalties on, our products and future products, if any.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Tax Loss Carryforwards

As of December 31, 2010, we have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $30,150,000 to offset future federal and state income taxes. We also have research and development and investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $491,000 as of December 31,2010 to offset future federal and state income taxes. Any greater than 50% change in ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, places significant annual limitations on the use of such net operating loss carryforwards and we exceeded the 50% threshold when we consummated the June 2009 Private Placement transaction with the KFLP. As a result, our historical loss carryforwards through June 2009 will be limited to $172,000 per year over the next 20 years, or limited to an aggregate amount of up to $3,440,000 of such historical loss carryforwards over such period of time, and the remaining balance of our historical loss carryforwards prior to June 2009 will expire unused. Provided that there are no future ownership changes that would trigger the limitations on loss carryforwards provided under the Code, the operating losses we experience after the June 2009 Private Placement transaction are expected to add to our loss carryforwards and to be fully available to us.

At December 31, 2010, we recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of approximately $11,769,000, as our management believes it is uncertain that they will be fully realized. If we determine in the future that we will be able to realize all or a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards, an adjustment to our net operating loss carryforwards would increase net income in the period in which we make such a determination.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The purpose of disclosure controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

During 2010 and as set forth in Item 9A Controls and Procedures in our Form 10-K, we disclosed and identified several material weaknesses in our internal controls. Since that time we have been working on remediation of the identified material weaknesses and have provided updates in our periodic reports. Management believes progress has been made during the first quarter to remediate material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting. However, based on the continued existence of material weaknesses, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the quarter ended March 31, 2011, disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Nevertheless, based on a number of factors, including the performance of additional procedures by management designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, management believes that the financial statements in our Quarterly Report on March 31, 2011 Form 10-Q fairly presented, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

 

21


As previously disclosed and referenced above, the matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management identified and considered to be material weaknesses that have not yet been satisfactorily remediated are: (1) limited documentation of our system of internal control, (2) insufficient personnel to employ segregation of duties and (3) lack of formal written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements and related documentation. These deficiencies and weaknesses were largely attributable to a lack of available financial resources.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

Although management has not fully remediated the material weaknesses mentioned above, management believes progress is being made as we continue the engagement with a consulting firm specializing in Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance to assist us in the implementation of internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure and our remediation efforts. During the first quarter of 2011, the consulting firm completed an audit of the company’s third and fourth quarter controls and reported that of 57 reporting controls and 3 IT application controls tested only 3 deficiencies were noted. Management is currently working with the outside consulting firm to remediate these deficiencies. Management will continue to test the company’s business cycles and controls during 2011 to ensure adherence to policies, completeness of reporting, segregation of incompatible duties and compliance with generally accepted accounting principles; and we intend to continue to monitor and evaluate these and other factors affecting our internal controls as our resources and available liquidity permit. Until such time, our internal controls over financial reporting may be subject to additional material weaknesses and deficiencies that we have not yet identified. Management is responsible for and is committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards, and financial reporting integrity. This commitment continues to be communicated to, and reinforced with, our employees.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Except as indicated in the preceding paragraphs about management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer (PEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has concluded there were no other significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our PEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

 

22


The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to our financial condition or business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, subsection “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and future results of operations. The specific risk factors set forth below were included in our Form 10-K Risk Factors and have been updated to provide information as of March 31, 2011. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A, subsection “Risk Factors” to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

You should carefully consider the Risk Factors and the risks described below before making an investment decision in our securities. These risk factors are effective as of the date of this Form 10-Q and shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in our future filings modifies or replaces such statement. All of these risks may impair our business operations. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from the results we discuss in the forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We require additional financing to operate beyond July 2011, as well as complete the development of and to commercialize our SMaRT Replacement Therapy and MU1140-S product candidates and we do not know if additional financing will be available to us when and if needed, or, if available, on terms that we find acceptable, particularly given the current and potential future strain in the financial and credit markets.

We do not have sufficient capital to sustain our operations beyond July 2011. Our operations have required substantial capital funding since inception and we expect to continue to need substantial amounts to develop and commercialize our SMaRT Replacement Therapy and MU1140-S product candidates. We require additional funding and may be unable to raise capital on attractive terms, which would force us to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of our product candidates. Changing circumstances may cause us to use capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may incur higher expenses than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. If we are not able to raise additional capital and we are not generating positive cash flow from our ProBiora3 products and are unable to commercialize our product candidates, we may be unable to pursue further development of our product candidates, be forced to divest our product candidates prior to maximizing their potential value, be unable to maintain the licenses for our SMaRT Replacement Therapy and MU1140-S product candidates, or be forced to significantly scale back or cease our operations.

Other than the availability of $1,000,000 we are able to borrow under our Credit Facility with the Koski Family Limited Partnership (KFLP), we have no other committed sources of capital and do not know whether additional financing will be available to us when and if needed, or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us, particularly if the financial and credit markets continue to be constrained.

 

23


We may seek additional financing through public or private equity offerings or through arrangements with strategic third parties. If we raise additional financing by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing stockholders may result. In addition, as a condition to providing additional financing to us, future investors may demand, and may be granted, rights superior to those of existing stockholders. If we raise additional financing through arrangements with strategic third parties, we may be required to relinquish rights to or sell certain of our product candidates or products that we would not otherwise relinquish or sell.

We may also seek additional financing through long-term debt and lines of credit or through the issuance of debt securities. If we raise additional financing through borrowing or the issuance of debt securities, our debt service obligations may be significant. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to meet these debt service obligations, we will need to use existing cash or liquidate assets in order to fund these obligations and to repay our debt, which could force us to delay or terminate our research, development and commercialization efforts.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception and expect to continue to experience losses for the foreseeable future.

Since our inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operating activities. To achieve and maintain profitability, we must successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, manufacture, market and sell, or license, partner or sell the rights to, one or more of the product candidates we either license or own. Furthermore, our cash burn rate and expenses have increased significantly due to our recent commercialization initiatives with our ProBiora3 products. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales and marketing capabilities for our ProBiora3 products and continue our preclinical testing, clinical trials and research and development activities.

Net losses have totaled $1,559,013 and $1,747,199 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have experienced losses from operations during the last three years and have an accumulated deficit of $34,876,061 as of March 31, 2011 and $33,317,048 as of December 31, 2010. We have used cash in our operating activities of $1,172,612 and $1,914,484 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our accounts payable and accrued expenses have also increased due to operational changes instituted in connection with the launch of our consumer products and in connection with our abandoned public offering. We have a working capital deficit of $547,512 as of March 31, 2011 (a deficit of $936,293 when the current cash reserved for DPOLT research is excluded), $127,518 as of December 31, 2010 (a deficit of $603,175 when the current cash reserved for DPOLT research is excluded).

Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In light of our recurring losses, accumulated deficit and negative cash flow, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 contains an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary in the event we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to establish to the satisfaction of our independent registered public accounting firm that the net proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to allow for the removal of this going concern qualification, we may need to significantly modify our operational plans for us to continue as a going concern.

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

None.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. (Reserved)

Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

The disclosure set forth below is provided in lieu of a separate Form 8-K filing.

The Company previously announced that it had entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement on July 30, 2010 (the “Credit Facility”) with the Koski Family Limited Partnership (“KFLP”), the Company’s largest shareholder. Pursuant to the Credit Facility the Company was able to borrow up to $2.0 million from the KFLP at LIBOR plus 6.0%, subject to certain conditions precedent, including compliance with the Credit Facility. On January 24, 2011 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) to increase the available borrowing from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 and simultaneously therewith the Company drew on the Credit Facility as amended by the First Amendment to borrow the additional $500,000 in available funds. On February 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. Under the Second Amendment, the due date of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, as amended was extended by one year from July 30, 2011 to July 30, 2012. The interest rate remained at LIBOR plus 6.0%. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Company increased its availability under the Credit Facility by an additional $2,500,000. The Credit Facility, as amended, is limited to $500,000 draws per month.
