Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note
1: Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article
10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying un-audited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal
recurring adjustments and the elimination of inter-company accounts) considered
necessary for a fair statement of all periods presented. The results of
Cellegy’s operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal
year. These un-audited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and
footnotes thereto included in Cellegy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course
of
business. However, we believe we do not have sufficient financial
resources to continue operations beyond June 2006. At March 31, 2006, the
Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $134.7
million
and recurring, negative cash flows from operations. We expect negative cash
flow
from operations to continue for the foreseeable future, with the need to
continue or expand development programs and to commercialize products once
regulatory approvals have been obtained. These factors raise substantial
doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans, with regard
to
these matters, include raising additional required funds through one or more
of
the following options, among others: sales of assets, seeking partnerships
with
other pharmaceutical companies or private foundations to co-develop and fund
our
research and development efforts, pursuing additional out-licensing arrangements
with third parties, re-licensing and monetizing in the near term our future
milestone and royalty payments expected from existing licensees and seeking
equity or debt financing. In addition, we will continue to implement further
cost reduction programs and reduce discretionary spending, if
necessary.
There
is
no assurance that any of the above options will be implemented on a timely
basis
or that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms,
if
at all. Alternatively, we may be required to accept less than favorable
commercial terms in any such future arrangements. If adequate funds are not
available on acceptable terms, we could be required to delay development
or
commercialization of certain products, to license to third parties the rights
to
commercialize certain products that we would otherwise seek to commercialize
internally or to reduce resources devoted to product development. In addition,
if we do not receive all, or a portion, of the planned Biosyn grant funding,
or
if such funding is delayed, this could impact our ability to complete our
Biosyn
development programs on a timely basis, if at all. The financial statements
do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Any failure to dispel any continuing doubts about our ability
to
continue as a going concern could adversely affect out ability to enter into
collaborative relationships with business partners, make it more difficult
to
obtain required financing on favorable terms or at all, negatively affect
the
market price of our common stock and could otherwise have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
There
is
a risk that one or more of our creditors could bring lawsuits to collect
amounts
to which they believe they are entitled. In the event of lawsuits of this
type,
if we are unable to negotiate settlements or satisfy our obligations, we
could
voluntarily file bankruptcy proceedings, or we could become the subject of
an
involuntary bankruptcy proceeding filed by one or more creditors against
us.
Note
2: Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive
loss generally represents all changes in stockholders’ deficit except those
resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. The Company’s
unrealized foreign currency translation (“FCT”) adjustments represent the only
components of comprehensive loss that are excluded from the Company’s net
loss.

3: Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic
net
loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share
incorporates the incremental shares issued upon the assumed exercise of stock
options and warrants, when dilutive. There is no difference between basic
and
diluted net loss per common share, as presented in the statement of operations,
because all options and warrants are anti-dilutive. The total number of shares
that had their impact excluded was (in thousands):

Note
4: Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company’s stock holders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005
Plan”) at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held September 28, 2005. The 2005
Plan replaces the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan (“Prior Plan”) which had expired.
The 2005 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors and the Board
has
delegated administration of the Plan to the Compensation Committee. The Board
may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the 2005 Plan without
stockholder approval, except as required by applicable law. The 2005 Plan
is not
subject to ERISA and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.
The
Company’s 2005 Plan allows for the granting of options to employees, directors
and consultants. Options granted under the 2005 Plan may either be incentive
stock options or non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may
be
granted only to employees. The Compensation Committee determines who will
receive options or other awards under the 2005 Plan and their terms, including
the exercise price, number of shares subject to the option or award, and
the
vesting and exercisability thereof. Options granted under the 2005 Plan
generally have a term of ten years from the grant date, and the exercise
price
typically is equal to the closing price of the common stock on the grant
date.
Options typically vest over a three-year or four-year period. Options granted
under the 2005 Plan typically expire if not exercised within 90 days from
the
date on which the optionee is no longer an employee, director, or consultant.
The vesting and exercisability of options may also be accelerated upon certain
change of control events. As of March 31, 2006 there were outstanding options
to
purchase 48,000 shares under the 2005 Plan and 952,000 shares were available
for
options for other awards under the 2005 Plan.
8
The
total
number of shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the exercise
of
Awards under the Prior Plan is 4,850,000 shares. The Prior Plan will continue
to
govern the stock options previously granted under the Prior Plan. The terms
and
conditions of the Prior Plan are substantially the same as the ones governing
the 2005 Plan.
In
1995,
Cellegy adopted the 1995 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) to
provide for the issuance of non-qualified stock options to eligible outside
Directors. When the plan was established, Cellegy reserved 150,000 shares
for
issuance. From 1996 to 2005, a total of 350,000 shares were reserved for
issuance under the Directors’ Plan. The 2005 Plan replaces the Directors’
Plan.
The
Directors’ Plan provides for the granting of initial and annual non-qualified
stock options to non-employee directors. Initial options vest over a four-year
period and subsequent annual options vest over three years. The exercise
of
options granted under the “Directors’ Plan” is the fair market value of the
common stock on the grant date. Options generally expire ten years from the
grant date, and generally expire within 90 days of the date the optionee
is no
longer a director. The vesting and exercisability of options under this plan
may
also be accelerated upon certain change of control events.
The
compensation expense and related income tax benefit recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2006 and the
first
quarter of 2005 for stock options was $43,000 and $0, respectively. The impact
on earnings per share was $0.001 per share for the first quarter of 2006.
Of the
$43,000 of stock option compensation expense recognized in the first quarter
of
fiscal 2006, $38,000 was a component of selling, general and administrative
expenses and $5,000 was a component of research and development expenses.
None
of the compensation costs were capitalized. No options were granted or exercised
under all share-based payment arrangements for the quarter ended March 31,
2006.
All of the compensation expense was derived by calculating the fair value
of the
unvested portion of all stock options issued after the first fiscal year
beginning after December 15, 1994.
The
Company continues to estimate the fair value of each option award on the
date of
granting using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The company now
estimates option forfeitures based on historical data and adjusts the rate
to
expected forfeitures periodically. The adjustment of the forfeiture rate
will
result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period the forfeiture estimate
is changed.
The
fair
value of each option calculated during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and
2005
was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation
model and weighted-average assumptions in the following table.

As of March 31, 2006, there were no options available for future grants under the Directors’ Plan. No additional vesting occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Non-Plan
Options
In
November 2003, the Company granted an initial stock option to Mr. Richard
C.
Williams, on his appointment to become Chairman of the Board, to purchase
1,000,000 shares of common stock. 400,000 of the options have an exercise
price
equal to $2.89 per share, the closing price of the stock on the grant date
and
600,000 of the options have an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The option
was
vested and exercisable in full on the grant date, although a portion of the
option covering up to 600,000 initially and declining over time, is subject
to
cancellation if they have not been exercised in the event that Mr. Williams
voluntarily resigns as Chairman and a director within certain future time
periods. As of March 31, 2006, none of these options have been
exercised.
In
October 2004, in conjunction with its acquisition of Biosyn, Cellegy issued
stock options to certain Biosyn option holders to purchase 236,635 shares
of
Cellegy common stock. All options issued were immediately vested and
exercisable. During 2005, 74,446 options were exercised and 99,162 were
cancelled. There was no activity in the quarter ended March 31,
2006.

Options
outstanding under the Company’s current plans have been granted at prices which
are either equal to or above the market value of the stock on the date of
grant.
Options granted under the 2005 Plan generally vest over three to four years
based on service conditions and expire no later than ten years after the
grant
date. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company generally recognizes compensation
expense ratably over the vesting period (service period). As of March 31,
2006,
there was $215,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested
options, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average
vesting period of 1.8 years.

5: Segment Reporting
The
Company had two business segments: pharmaceuticals and skin care. The skin
care
segment was sold in December 2005. Pharmaceuticals include primarily research
and clinical development expenses for potential prescription products to
be
marketed directly by Cellegy or through corporate partners.
All
revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005
of
$1,402,000 and $1,606,000, respectively, were derived from the Company’s
pharmaceutical segment. Current pharmaceutical revenues consist primarily
of
Rectogesic® product sales in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom
and South Korea, grant revenue from research and clinical development trials
as
well the ProStrakan license revenues for Rectogesic and Tostrex®
products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense associated
with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS
123R), as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to
January
1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options according to the provisions
of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
25),
and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense
was
recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. The Company adopted
the
modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS 123R and,
consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods.
Under
this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options
recognized in the first quarter of 2006 includes: 1) quarterly amortization
related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted
prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation;
and 2)
quarterly amortization related to all stock option awards granted on or
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated
in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
As
a
result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company’s net loss for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006, was $43,000 higher than under the Company’s previous
accounting method for share-based compensation.
Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting
from
the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires that cash flows
resulting from tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost
recognized for options exercised (excess tax benefits) be classified as
financing cash flows. The Company has sufficient net operating loss
carryforwards to generally eliminate cash payments for income taxes. Therefore,
no cash has been retained as a result of excess tax benefits relating to
share
based payments made to directors and employees.
For
stock
options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, if compensation expense
for
the Company’s various stock option plans had been determined based upon
estimated fair values at the grant dates in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
the
Company’s pro forma net loss and basic and diluted income per common share would
have been as follows (in thousands):

10: Deferred Revenue
The
Company records upfront payments received from licensees as deferred revenue
and
amortize them to income over the life of the licensing agreement or the life
of
the product being licensed, whichever is longer. At March 31, 2006 total
current and long-term deferred revenue of $3,323,000 substantially includes
the
remaining unearned portion of the upfront licensing fees received from
ProStrakan Group, Limited for the right to store, promote, sell and/or
distribute the Company’s Tostrex and Rectogesic products.
15
Note
11: Notes Payable
Notes
payable at March 31, 2006 include two non-interest bearing notes issued in
April
2005 by Cellegy to PDI pursuant to a lawsuit settlement signed by both parties
in April 2005, and the note issued by Biosyn to Ben Franklin Technology Center
of Southeastern Pennsylvania (Ben Franklin) in October 1992 for funds provided
by Ben Franklin for the development of a compound to prevent transmission
of
AIDS. The notes have been recorded at their total net present value of
$5.3 million.
The
terms
of the notes issued to PDI are as follows:
a.)
The
$3.0
million secured promissory note has an outstanding balance of $2.7 million
and a
net present value of $2.5 million at March 31, 2006 and is payable in October
2006. There is no stated interest rate and no periodic payments are
required. Payment terms include payments to the extent of 50% of future
funds to be received by Cellegy as licensing fees, royalties or milestone
payments or similar payments from licensees of Cellegy’s Tostrex® (testosterone
gel) and Rectogesic® (nitroglycerin ointment) products in territories outside of
North America, 50% of licensing fees, royalties or milestone payments or
similar
payments from Fortigel licensees in North American markets, and 10% of proceeds
received by Cellegy in excess of $5 million from financings. These various
payments will be made until the note is paid in full. However, no regular
periodic payments are required. The note is subject to a default interest
rate
of 12%.
b.)
The
$3.5
million non-negotiable senior convertible debenture stated at its net present
value of $2.6 million has a maturity date of April 11, 2008, three years
from
the PDI settlement date of April 11, 2005. There is no stated interest rate
and
no periodic payments are required. Cellegy may redeem the note at anytime
before
the maturity date upon prior notice to PDI, at a redemption price equal to
the
principal amount. If Cellegy delivers such a redemption notice, PDI may convert
the note into shares of Cellegy common stocks at a price of $1.65 per share.
In
addition, after the 18th
month
anniversary of the debenture, PDI may convert the note into Cellegy common
stock
at a price of $1.65 per share. If Cellegy does redeem the note within the
first
18 months, then Cellegy has agreed to file a registration statement relating
to
the possible resale of any shares issued to PDI after 18 months; approximately
2.1 million shares would be issuable upon such conversion. As long as amounts
are owed under the note, Cellegy has agreed not to incur or become responsible
for any indebted ness that ranks contractually senior or pari passu in right
of
payment to amounts outstanding under the note. Events of default under the
senior note are generally similar to events of default under the secured
note.
The
net
present value of the secured $3.0 million note will be recalculated based
on its
remaining principal whenever a payment is made by Cellegy.
The
Ben
Franklin note has a face value of $778,000 and net present value of $229,000
at
March 31, 2006. The note has no scheduled repayment term. Payment is
based on 3% of Biosyn’s revenues excluding other research and development
grants.

12: Derivative Instruments.
The
warrants from the May 2005 PIPE financing and Kingsbridge SSO are revalued
at
the end of each reporting period as long as they remain outstanding. The
estimated fair value of all warrants, using the Black-Scholes valuation model,
recorded as derivative liability at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005
was
$247,000 and $193,000. The changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants
have been recorded as other income and expense in the income statement. For
the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized a $54,000
expense and a $57,000 income respectively from derivative revaluation.

General
Cellegy
Pharmaceuticals is a development stage specialty biopharmaceutical company
engaged in the development and commercialization primarily of prescription
drugs
targeting women’s health care conditions, including HIV prevention and sexual
dysfunction, as well as gastrointestinal conditions using proprietary topical
formulations and nitric oxide donor technologies.
Recent
Events
On
January 16, 2006, Cellegy entered into an amendment of its Exclusive License
and
Distribution Agreement dated July 9, 2004, with ProStrakan Group PLC, whereby
ProStrakan will assume responsibility for all of the manufacturing and other
product support functions for Tostrex in Europe. In December 2004, the product
was approved by the MPA for sale in Sweden.
On
February 1, 2006, Cellegy announced that it had entered into a non-exclusive,
developing world licensing agreement with CONRAD for the collaboration on
the
development of Cellegy’s entire microbicide pipeline. The agreement encompasses
the licensing of Savvy currently in Phase 3 clinical trials in the United
States
and Africa; UC-781, currently in expanded Phase 1 trials in the United States
and Thailand; and Cyanovirin-N, currently in pre-clinical
development.
On
March
24, 2006, the Company announced that its European marketing partner, ProStrakan
had successfully completed the European Union Mutual Recognition Procedure
for
Rectogesic. Following the successful conclusion of the MRP process, national
licenses will be sought and are expected to be issued in due course in the
19
additional countries (in addition to the United Kingdom where approvals have
been previously obtained) included in the MRP submission application. Cellegy
is
entitled to receive $250,000 for each marketing regulatory approval obtained
in
the first of any three countries out of France, Italy, Germany or Spain up
to a
maximum total amount payable of $750,000. Under its previous agreement with
PDI,
Inc., PDI is entitled to receive one-half of these payments.
17
On
April
11, 2006, Epsilon Pharmaceuticals, a company located in Australia, acquired
all
of the shares of Cellegy Australia PTY LTD, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary
of Cellegy, in exchanges for cash of approximately $1.25 million paid at
closing. Cellegy is entitled to receive certain additional payments pursuant
to
the collection of its accounts receivable balance at closing.
On
April
25, 2006, the FDA’s Cardiovascular Renal Drugs Advisory Committee (the
“Committee”) met to review the Company’s New Drug Application relating to its
Cellegesic™ (0.4% nitroglycerin ointment) product for reduction of pain
associated with anal fissures. The Committee voted on three questions in
connection with its review:
1. |
A
majority of the Committee agreed that the quadratic model was the
proper
analysis for the purpose of decision-making.
|
2. |
A
majority of the Committee found that, taking all three studies into
consideration, the data is compelling that there is an effect of
nitroglycerin ointment on the pain associated with anal fissures.
|
3. |
In
its final vote, six members of the Committee voted for “Approval” of
Cellegesic and six voted “Approvable pending another study of
effectiveness.” There were no votes for “Not
Approvable.”
|
The
FDA
may take this recommendation of the Advisory Committee under advisement as
it
deliberates on the review of the NDA. The FDA does not have a time period
within
which it must complete its review of the NDA and has given the Company no
indication as to when it will make its final determination.
Results
of Operations
Revenues.
The Company had revenues of $1,402,000 and $1,606,000 for the three months
ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenues in both of the three
month periods presented consist of licensing, milestone, product sales and
grant
revenues.
Licensing
revenues. Licensing
revenue consists primarily of amortization of upfront payments received from
licensees in connection with the Company’s existing licensing agreements. The
Company recorded revenues of $65,000 and $240,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In 2005, these amounts include
$208,000 reflecting the amortization of $15.0 million upfront payment received
from PDI in 2002. The agreement with PDI was terminated in April 2005 in
connection with the settlement of the companies’ respective
lawsuits.
Product
Sales.
Product sales for the period presented were $423,000 and $153,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively and were comprised
primarily of Tostrex sales to ProStrakan and sales of Rectogesic generated
by
the Company’s Australian business unit. Products sales are expected to decline
for the balance of 2006 due to the divestiture of Cellegy Australia in April
2006.
Grant
Revenues.
Grant
revenues were $914,000 and $1,213,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively. Grant revenue is generated through the
Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Biosyn, Inc. (“Biosyn”), which was acquired
in late 2004.
The
level
of grant funding under the various grant arrangements is generally dependent
upon the amount of direct labor (primarily laboratory personnel) and direct
expenses such as supplies, testing services and other direct costs expected
to
be incurred in connection with the given program over its duration. The grant
agreements generally provide for an overhead percentage that is applied to
the
direct labor costs. These amounts, along with the amounts billed to the grantor
for direct costs comprise the total amount billed and recorded as grant revenue.
Grant agreements undergo periodic renegotiation and it is the prerogative
of
granting agency or foundation to determine the level and duration of future
funding of Cellegy’s programs. There can be no assurance that Cellegy will be
able to maintain grant funding at current levels or at levels necessary to
properly fund its research programs.
In
addition to the grants funding above, Biosyn benefits indirectly from agency
funding paid to third party contractors in support of its ongoing Phase 3
clinical trials. These payments from the funding agencies are made directly
to
the service providers, not to Biosyn. Under the terms of certain of its funding
agreements, Biosyn has been granted the right to commercialize products
supported by the funding in developed and developing countries, and is obligated
to make its commercialized products, if any, available in developing countries,
as well as to public sector agencies in developed countries at prices reasonably
above cost or at a reasonable royalty rate.
Research
and Development Expenses.
During the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, research and development expenses
were $1,106,000 and $2,777,000, respectively. The decrease is due primarily
to a
decrease of $995,000 in professional fees, including clinical and consulting
fees. Biosyn research expenses declined $262,000 due primarily to decreased
clinical manufacturing costs. Prior year amounts include $313,000 in write-offs
of fixed assets.
18
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of
2006
and 2005 were $2,104,000 and $4,018,000, respectively, a decrease of $1,914,000.
The decrease includes: $1,256,000 in legal fees relating to the April, 2005
settlement of litigation with PDI; $291,000 decrease in accounting fees;
$289,000 in write-offs of fixed assets and net a decrease in compensation
expenses of $134,000. The overall decrease in expenses was partially offset
by
the accrual of $266,000 in financing fees owing to Kingsbridge in connection
with the Structured Secondary Offering (“SSO”) agreement.
Other
Income (Expense).
Net other expense in 2006 was $259,000 as compared to net other income in
2005
of $124,000. The increase in interest expense of $189,000 in 2006 resulting
from
the accretion of interest expense relating to the PDI notes issued pursuant
to
the April, 2005 settlement of litigation with PDI. $111,000 of the variance
represents a change in derivative expense recorded in connection with the
Kingsbridge SSO.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash,
cash equivalents and restricted cash were $1.1 million at March 31, 2006,
as compared with $2.3 million at December 31, 2005. Cash used in operations
during the first quarter of 2006 was $1.1 million as compared to $5.0 million
during the same period in the prior year. The first quarter of 2005
included non-cash expenses of $999,000 arising from the disposal of fixed
assets
in connection with the Company’s move. In connection with the PDI settlement of
April 2005, the Company reclassified $2.0 million from deferred revenue to
accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Prepaid expenses decreased
by
$1.4 million at March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005 primarily as a
result
of retention and severance payouts, reduction of the rent equalization and
liquidation of inventory. Accounts receivable decreased by $758,000 due to
the
timing of receipts at March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005. The overall
use
of cash declined in 2006 due to a lower level of clinical and commercialization
activity expenses.
In
April 2006 the Company divested its Australian business unit which generated
approximately $1.3 million in net cash proceeds.
We
prepared the financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At March 31,
2006
we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $133.2 million,
negative cash flows from operations of $97.3 million, and cash and cash
equivalents of $1.1 million. We expect negative cash flow from operations
to
continue for the foreseeable future, with the need to continue or expand
development programs and to commercialize products once regulatory approvals
have been obtained. We believe we do not have sufficient financial resources
to
continue operations beyond June 2006. These factors raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans, with regard
to
these matters, include raising additional required funds through one or more
of
the following options, among others: sales of assets or technologies, seeking
partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies or private foundations to
co-develop and fund our research and development efforts, pursuing additional
out-licensing arrangements with third parties, re-licensing and monetizing
in
the near term our future milestone and royalty payments expected from existing
licensees and seeking equity or debt financing. In addition, we will continue
to
implement further cost reduction programs and reduce discretionary spending,
if
necessary.
There
is
no assurance that any of the above options will be implemented on a timely
basis
or that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms,
if
at all. Alternatively, we may be required to accept less than favorable
commercial terms in any such future arrangements. If adequate funds are not
available on acceptable terms, we could be required to delay development
or
commercialization of certain products, to license to third parties the rights
to
commercialize certain products that we would otherwise seek to commercialize
internally or to reduce resources devoted to product development. In addition,
if we do not receive all, or a portion, of the planned Biosyn grant funding,
or
if such funding is delayed, this could impact our ability to complete our
Biosyn
development programs on a timely basis, if at all. The financial statements
do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Any failure to dispel any continuing doubts about our ability
to
continue as a going concern could adversely affect out ability to enter into
collaborative relationships with business partners, make it more difficult
to
obtain required financing on favorable terms or at all, negatively affect
the
market price of our common stock and could otherwise have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Future
expenditures and capital requirements depend on numerous factors including,
without limitation, the progress and focus of our research and development
programs, the progress of pre-clinical and clinical testing, the time and
costs
involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the progress and outcome of the
PDI
litigation, the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent
claims, oppositions and appeals, the timing and level of grant funding to
support Biosyn’s clinical programs and operations and our ability to establish
new collaborative arrangements.
19
Cellegy
believes that available cash resources will be adequate to satisfy our capital
needs through at least June 30, 2006 assuming no material adverse financial
impact associated with the PDI litigation. At present, our revenues from
existing licensing arrangements, funding agreements and other sources are
not
sufficient to offset our ongoing operating expenses or to pay in full our
current obligations reflected in our financial statements. Funds provided
from
sales of subsidiaries, assets, equity or debt financing, or other arrangements,
if obtained, would permit satisfaction of capital needs for a longer period
of
time. The existence and extent of our obligations could adversely affect
our
business, operations and financial condition. Failure to obtain additional
funds
as described above may affect the timing of development, clinical trials
or
commercialization activities relating to certain products and could require
us
to curtail our operations, reduce personnel, sell part or all of our assets
or
seek protection under bankruptcy laws. There is a risk that one or more of
our
creditors could bring lawsuits to collect amounts to which they believe they
are
entitled. In the event of lawsuits of this type, if we are unable to negotiate
settlements or satisfy our obligations, we could voluntarily file bankruptcy
proceedings, or we could become the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding filed by one or more creditors against us.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense associated
with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with
SFAS 123R, Share-Based
Payment. Prior
to
January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options according to the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations, and, therefore, no related compensation expense
was
recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. The Company adopted
the
modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS 123R and,
consequently, has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods.
Under
this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock options
recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes: 1) quarterly
amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option
awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123; and
2)
quarterly amortization related to all stock option awards granted on or
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated
in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
The
compensation expense and related income tax benefit recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Income in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for
stock
options and restricted stock awards was $43,000 and $0, respectively. The
impact
on earnings per share (EPS) was $0.001 per share. Of the $43,000 of stock
option
compensation expense recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, $38,000
was
a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and $5,000 was
a
component of research and development expenses. Nothing was capitalized in
inventory at March 31, 2006. Cash received from options exercised under all
share-based payment arrangements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was
$0.
The Company issues shares from stock previously reserved for the exercise
of the
2005 Equity Incentive Plan’s stock options.
The
Company continues to estimate the fair value of each option award on the
date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company now estimates
option forfeitures based on historical data and adjusts the rate to expected
forfeitures periodically. The adjustment of the forfeiture rate will result
in a
cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period the forfeiture estimate is
changed.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company, on January 1, 2006, adopted FASB Statement 154, Accounting Changes
and
Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement
No. 3,
which changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a
change
in accounting principle. There was no effect upon the Company’s financial
statements as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
critical accounting policies and estimates were discussed in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. No changes in
those policies and estimates have occurred during the three months ended
March
31, 2006.

ITEM
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk
Cellegy
invests its excess cash in short-term, investment grade, fixed income securities
under an investment policy. All of our investments are classified as
available-for-sale. All of our securities owned as of March 31, 2006 were
in
money market funds and are classified as cash equivalents. We believe that
potential near-term losses in future earnings, fair values or cash flows
related
to our investment portfolio are not significant.
As
of
March 31, 2006 our investment portfolio consisted of approximately $700,000
in
money market funds. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. If
market
interest rates were to increase or decrease, the fair value of our portfolio
would not be affected.
We
are
incurring market risk associated with the issuance of warrants to Kingsbridge
to
purchase 260,000 shares of our common stock and to the May 2005 investors
to
purchase approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock. We will continue
to calculate the fair value at the end of each quarter and record the difference
to other income or expense until the warrants are exercised. We are incurring
risk associated with increases or decreases in the market price of our common
stock, which will directly impact the fair value calculation and the non-cash
charge or credit recorded to the income statement in future quarters. For
example, if our stock price increases by 20% during the second quarter of
2006
from the March 31, 2006 value, and all other inputs into the Black-Scholes
model
remained constant, we would record approximately $65,000 of other expense
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2006. If our stock price decreased by 20% from
its
value for the same periods, we would record approximately the same amount
as
other income.
ITEM
4. Controls and Procedures
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).
Based
upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective 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 United States
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
During
the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated,
cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls are
met,
and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls
and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been
detected.

PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. Legal Proceedings
The
Litigation with PDI continues to be in the initial stages of discovery. There
have been no material developments in the status of the PDI lawsuit since
December 31, 2005.
ITEM
1A. Risk Factors
We
have a history of losses, and we expect losses to
continue.
We
have
incurred losses since our inception and negative cash flows from operations
that
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We
believe we do not have sufficient financial resources to continue operations
beyond June 2006. Our deficit accumulated during the development stage as
of
March 31, 2006, was approximately $134.7 million. We have never operated
profitably and, given our planned level of operating expenses, we expect
to
continue to incur losses through at least 2006. Accordingly, without substantial
revenues from new corporate collaborations, royalties on product sales or
other
revenue sources, we expect to incur substantial operating losses in the
foreseeable future as our potential products move through development and
as we
continue to invest in research and clinical trials. As a result of our
continuing losses, we may exhaust our resources and may be unable to complete
the development of our products, and our accumulated deficit will continue
to
increase as we continue to incur losses. Our losses may increase in the future,
and even if we achieve our revenue targets, we may not be able to sustain
or
increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The amount of future
net
losses, and the time required to reach profitability, are both highly uncertain.
To achieve sustained profitable operations, we must, among other things,
successfully discover, develop, and obtain regulatory approvals for and market
pharmaceutical products. We cannot assure you that we will ever be able to
achieve or sustain profitability.
We
have received a “going concern” opinion from our independent registered public
accounting firm, which may negatively impact our
business.
Our
audit
opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm regarding
the
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2005, included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We have
incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of this uncertainty. Any failure to dispel any continuing doubts
about
our ability to continue as a going concern could adversely affect our ability
to
enter into collaborative relationships with business partners, make it more
difficult to obtain required financing on favorable terms or at all, negatively
affect the market price of our common stock and could otherwise have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our
prospects for obtaining additional financing are uncertain and failure to
obtain
needed financing could affect our ability to develop or market products or
to
continue operations.
Throughout
our history, we have consumed substantial amounts of cash. Our cash needs
may
increase during 2006 to fund administrative and litigation expenses, and
Biosyn’s operations to the extent these are not covered by various government
and non-government organizations. In addition, one or more such organizations
could withdraw, reduce the extent of, delay or terminate their funding
commitments.
As
of
March 31, 2006, Cellegy had approximately $1.1 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Cellegy has no current source of significant ongoing revenues
or
capital beyond existing cash, product sales and grant funding.
The
amount of cash required to fund future expenditures and capital requirements
will depend on numerous factors including, without limitation:
· |
requirements
in support of our development programs;
|
· |
progress
and results of pre-clinical and clinical
testing;
|
· |
time
and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, including the
cost
of complying with additional FDA information and/or clinical trial
requirements to obtain marketing approval of our product
candidates;
|
· |
the
commercial success of our products that are approved for
marketing;
|
|
22
· |
the
costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims,
oppositions and appeals, and our other intellectual property
rights;
|
· |
the
cost and outcome of the current litigation with PDI, Inc., as well as
expenses associated with any other unforeseen
litigation;
|
· |
our
ability to establish new collaborative
arrangements;
|
· |
the
validation of a second contract manufacturing site;
and
|
· |
the
extent of expenses required to support Biosyn’s
operations.
|
In
order
to complete the development, manufacturing and other pre-launch marketing
activities necessary to commercialize our products, additional financing
will be
required. Cellegy may seek other alternatives such as private or public equity
investments, partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies to co-develop
and
fund our research and development efforts, sales of technology or assets,
additional out-licensing agreements with third parties, or agreements to
monetize in the near term our future milestone and royalty payments expected
from licenses. There is no assurance that such funding will be available
for us
to finance our operations on acceptable terms, if at all, and any future
equity
funding may involve significant dilution to our stockholders.
Insufficient
funding may require us to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our research
and development activities, planned clinical trials, administrative programs,
personnel, outside services and facility costs; reduce the size and scope
of our
sales and marketing efforts; delay or reduce the scope of, or eliminate,
one or
more of our planned commercialization or expansion activities; seek
collaborators for our product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise
would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise
be
available; or relinquish, license or otherwise dispose of rights to
technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek
to
develop or commercialize ourselves on terms that are less favorable than
might
otherwise be available. In addition, even if we do receive additional financing,
we may not be able to complete planned clinical trials, development,
manufacturing or marketing of any or all of our product candidates.
Cellegy
believes that available cash resources will be adequate to satisfy our capital
needs through at least June 30, 2006 assuming no material adverse financial
impact associated with the PDI litigation and any subsequent legal proceedings,
although failure to obtain additional funds as described above may affect
the
timing of development, clinical trials or commercialization activities relating
to certain products. Funds provided from sales of subsidiaries, assets, equity
or debt financing, or other arrangements, if obtained, would permit satisfaction
of capital needs for a longer period of time.
We
could be forced into bankruptcy.
There
is
a risk that one or more of our creditors could bring lawsuits to collect
amounts
to which they believe they are entitled. In the event of lawsuits of this
type,
if we are unable to negotiate settlements or satisfy our obligations, we
could
voluntarily file bankruptcy proceedings, or we could become the subject of
an
involuntary bankruptcy proceeding filed by one or more creditors against
us.
The
outcome of the lawsuit with PDI is uncertain. An unfavorable outcome will
have a
material adverse affect on our financial position and stock
price.
As
more
fully described under Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, the Company is presently
engaged in a lawsuit with PDI alleging that Cellegy is in material breach
of the
April 2005 settlement agreement between Cellegy and PDI and related documents,
including two promissory notes given by Cellegy to PDI, as a result of Cellegy’s
failure to notify PDI of the receipt of certain payments and of Cellegy’s
failure to pay amounts to which PDI believes it is entitled. The lawsuit
seeks
immediate payment of the notes along with payments for default
interest and damages. An unfavorable outcome to this lawsuit would have a
material adverse affect on our business and stock price.
We
are subject to regulation by regulatory authorities including the FDA, which
could delay or prevent marketing of our products. Unexpected regulatory outcomes
could adversely affect our business and stock price.
Cellegy’s
product candidates, Savvy, Cellegesic, Fortigel and Tostrelle and our ongoing
research and clinical activities relating to those product candidates are
subject to extensive regulation by governmental regulatory authorities in
the
United States and in other countries. Before we obtain regulatory approval
for
the commercial sale of our potential drug products, we must demonstrate through
pre-clinical studies and clinical trials that the product is safe and
efficacious for use in the clinical indication for which approval is sought.
The
timing of NDA submissions, the outcome of reviews by the FDA and the initiation
and completion of other clinical trials are subject to uncertainty, change
and
unforeseen delays. Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”), the FDA
establishes a target date to complete its review of an NDA. Although the
FDA
attempts to respond by the relevant PDUFA date to companies that file NDAs,
there is no obligation on the FDA’s part to do so. In addition, extensive
current pre-clinical and clinical testing requirements and the current
regulatory approval process of the FDA in the United States and of certain
foreign regulatory authorities, or new government regulations, could prevent
or
delay regulatory approval of Cellegy’s products.
23
The
process of developing and obtaining approval for a new pharmaceutical product
within this regulatory framework requires a number of years and substantial
expenditures. There can be no assurance that necessary approvals will be
obtained on a timely basis, if at all. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals
could delay receipt of revenues from product sales, increase our expenditures
relating to obtaining approvals, jeopardize corporate partnership arrangements
that we might enter into with third parties regarding particular products,
or
cause a decline in our stock price. If we fail to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements, we could be subject to a wide variety of serious
administrative or judicially imposed sanctions and penalties, any of which
could
result in significant financial penalties that could reduce our available
cash,
delay introduction of products resulting in deferral or elimination of revenues
from product sales, and could result in a decline in our stock
price.
The
Company submitted an amended NDA relating to its Cellegesic product candidate
containing new analyses of data from its trials to the FDA in April 2005
and has
been under review at the FDA since then. On April 25, 2006, the FDA’s
Cardiovascular Renal Drugs Advisory Committee (the “Committee”) met to review
the Company’s New Drug Application relating to its Cellegesic™ (0.4%
nitroglycerin ointment) product for reduction of pain associated with anal
fissures. The Committee voted on three questions in connection with its
review:
1. |
A
majority of the Committee agreed that the quadratic model was the
proper
analysis for the purpose of decision-making.
|
2. |
A
majority of the Committee found that, taking all three studies into
consideration, the data is compelling that there is an effect of
nitroglycerin ointment on the pain associated with anal fissures.
|
3. |
In
its final vote, six members of the Committee voted for “Approval” of
Cellegesic and six voted “Approvable pending another study of
effectiveness.” There were no votes for “Not
Approvable.”
|
The
FDA
may take this recommendation of the Advisory Committee under advisement as
it
deliberates on the review of the NDA. The FDA does not have a time period
within
which it must complete its review of the NDA and has given the Company no
indication as to when it will make its final determination. While the FDA
will
consider the findings of the Committee, the final regulatory decision rests
with
the Agency. Cellegesic cannot be marketed in the United States unless and
until
the FDA grants marketing approval for the product.
Similarly,
since there is still no definitive agreement with the FDA regarding requirements
for approval of Fortigel, the FDA will require an additional Phase 3
clinical trial. The FDA may also decide to have an Advisory Panel review
the
submission of our product candidates with an uncertain outcome of such panel’s
recommendation, or take other actions having the effect of delaying or
preventing commercial introduction of our products. The FDA or other regulatory
agencies could impose requirements on future trials that could delay the
regulatory approval process for our products. Similarly, there are risks
and
uncertainties associated with our female clinical trial programs for Tostrelle
and Savvy in that sufficient resources for clinical development of these
product
candidates may not be available or one or both drugs may not prove to be
safe
and effective by standards established by worldwide regulatory authorities.
There can be no assurance that the FDA, or other regulatory agencies, will
find
any of our trial data or other sections of our regulatory submissions sufficient
to approve any of our product candidates for marketing in the United States
or
in other overseas markets.
Sales
of
Cellegy’s products outside the United States are subject to different regulatory
requirements governing clinical trials and marketing approval. These
requirements vary widely from country to country and could delay introduction
of
Cellegy’s products in those countries. Cellegy may not be able to obtain
marketing approval for one or more of its products in any countries in addition
to those countries where approvals have already been obtained.
24
Our
clinical trial results are very difficult to predict in advance, and the
clinical trial process is subject to delays. Failure of one or more clinical
trials or delays in trial completion could adversely affect our business
and our
stock price.
Results
of pre-clinical studies and early clinical trials may not be good predictors
of
results that will be obtained in later-stage clinical trials. We cannot provide
any assurances that Cellegy’s present or future clinical trials will demonstrate
the results required to continue advanced trial development and allow us
to seek
marketing approval for these or our other product candidates. Because of
the
independent and blind nature of certain human clinical testing, there will
be
extended periods during the testing process when we will have only limited,
or
no, access to information about the status or results of the tests. Cellegy
and
other pharmaceutical companies have believed that their products performed
satisfactorily in early tests, only to find their performance in later tests,
including Phase 3 clinical trials, to be inadequate or unsatisfactory, or
that
FDA Advisory Committees have declined to recommend approval of the drugs,
or
that the FDA itself refused approval, with the result that stock prices have
fallen precipitously.
Clinical
trials can be extremely costly. Certain costs relating to the Phase 3 trials
for
the Savvy product for contraception and reduction in the transmission of
HIV,
and other clinical and preclinical development costs for the Biosyn pipeline
products acquired by Cellegy, are funded directly by certain grant and contract
commitments from several governmental and non-governmental organizations
(“NGOs”). Nevertheless, these Phase 3 trials and Cellegy’s other planned
clinical trials could require Cellegy to provide substantial funding in 2006.
There can be no assurance that funding from governmental agencies and NGOs
will
continue to be available at previous levels or at all, and any other Phase
3
trials that Cellegy may commence in the future relating to its products could
involve the expenditure of several million dollars through the completion
of the
clinical trials. In addition, delays in the clinical trial process can be
extremely costly in terms of lost sales opportunities and increased clinical
trial costs. The speed with which we complete our clinical trials and our
regulatory submissions, including NDAs, will depend on several factors,
including the following:
· |
the
rate of patient enrollment, which is affected by the size of the
patient
population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the difficulty
of
the entry criteria for the study and the nature of the
protocol;
|
· |
the
timely completion of clinical site protocol approval and obtaining
informed consent from subjects;
|
· |
analysis
of data obtained from preclinical and clinical
activities;
|
· |
changes
in policies or staff personnel at regulatory agencies during the
lengthy
drug application review; and
|
· |
the
availability of experienced staff to conduct and monitor clinical
studies,
internally or through contract research
organizations.
|
Adverse
events in our clinical trials may force us to stop development of our product
candidates or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates, which
could
materially harm our business.
Patients
participating in the clinical trials of our product candidates may experience
serious adverse health events. A serious adverse health event includes death,
a
life-threatening condition, hospitalization, disability, congenital anomaly,
or
a condition requiring intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage.
The occurrence of any of these events could interrupt, delay or halt clinical
trials of our product candidates and could result in the FDA, or other
regulatory authorities, denying approval of our product candidates for any
or
all targeted indications. An institutional review board or independent data
safety monitoring board, the FDA, other regulatory authorities or we may
suspend
or terminate clinical trials at any time. Our product candidates may prove
not
to be safe for human use. Any delay in the regulatory approval of our product
candidates could increase our product development costs and allow our
competitors additional time to develop or market competing
products.
Due
to our reliance on contract research organizations or other third-parties
to
assist us in conducting clinical trials, we are unable to directly control
all
aspects of our clinical trials.
Currently,
we rely on contract research organizations, or CROs, and other third parties
to
conduct our clinical trials. As a result, we have had and will continue to
have
less control over the conduct of the clinical trials, the timing and completion
of the trials and the management of data developed through the trial than
would
be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own staff. Communicating
with
CROs can also be challenging, potentially leading to difficulties in
coordinating activities. CROs may:
· |
have
staffing difficulties;
|
· |
experience
regulatory compliance issues;
|
· |
undergo
changes in priorities or may become financially distressed;
or
|
· |
not
be able to properly control payments to government agencies or clinical
sites, particularly in less developed
countries.
|
25
These
factors may adversely affect their ability to conduct our trials. We may
experience unexpected cost increases or experience problems with the timeliness
or quality of the work of the CRO. If we must replace these CROs or any other
third party contractor, our trials may have to be suspended until we find
another contract research organization that offers comparable services. The
time
that it takes us to find alternative organizations may cause a delay in the
commercialization of our product candidates or may cause us to incur significant
expenses. Although we do not now intend to replace our CROs, such a change
would
make it difficult to find a replacement organization to conduct our trials
in an
acceptable manner and at an acceptable cost. Any delay in or inability to
complete our clinical trials could significantly compromise our ability to
secure regulatory approval of our product candidates, thereby limiting our
ability to generate product revenue resulting in a decrease in our stock
price.
The
type and scope of patent coverage we have may limit the commercial success
of
our products.
Cellegy’s
success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for
our
products and methods, both in the United States and in other countries. Several
of Cellegy’s products and product candidates, such as Cellegesic, Savvy and
Tostrelle, are based on existing molecules with a history of use in humans
but
which are being developed by us for new therapeutic uses or in novel delivery
systems which enhance therapeutic utility. We cannot obtain composition patent
claims on the compounds themselves, and instead rely on patent claims, if
any,
directed to use of the compound to treat certain conditions or to specific
formulations. This is the case, for example, with our United States patents
relating to Cellegesic and Fortigel products. Such method-of-use patents
may
provide less protection than a composition-of-matter patent, because of the
possibility of “off-label” use of the composition. Cellegy may not be able to
prevent a competitor from using a different formulation or compound for a
different purpose.
No
assurance can be given that any additional patents will be issued to us,
that
the protection of any patents that may be issued in the future will be
significant, or that current or future patents will be held valid if
subsequently challenged. For example, oppositions have been filed with the
European Patent Office regarding our European patent protecting the manufacture
and use of nitroglycerin ointment and related compounds for the treatment
of
anal disorders, including fissures and various hemorrhoidal conditions. In
December 2003, we reported that the Board of Opposition of the European
Patent Office had rendered a verbal decision revoking Cellegy’s European patent
relating to its Cellegesic product and related compounds for the treatment
of
anal disorders, including fissures and various hemorrhoidal conditions. Although
Cellegy has appealed this decision, an additional adverse outcome in the
appeal
process could have a negative effect on Cellegy, impacting the commercial
success of our partner’s marketing and corporate licensing efforts in Europe and
adversely affecting our royalty revenues and stock price.
The
patent position of companies engaged in businesses such as Cellegy’s business
generally is uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions.
There
is a substantial backlog of patent applications at the United States Patent
and
Trademark Office, or USPTO. Patents in the United States are issued to the
party
that is first to invent the claimed invention. There can be no assurance
that
any patent applications relating to Cellegy’s products or methods will issue as
patents, or, if issued, that the patents will not be challenged, invalidated
or
circumvented or that the rights granted there under will provide us a
competitive advantage.
In
addition, many other organizations are engaged in research and product
development efforts in drug delivery and topical formulations that may overlap
with Cellegy’s products. Such organizations may currently have, or may obtain in
the future, legally blocking proprietary rights, including patent rights,
in one
or more products or methods under development or consideration by Cellegy.
These
rights may prevent us from commercializing technology, or may require Cellegy
to
obtain a license from the organizations to use the technology. Cellegy may
not
be able to obtain any such licenses that may be required on reasonable financial
terms, if at all, and cannot be sure that the patents underlying any such
licenses will be valid or enforceable. Moreover, the laws of certain foreign
countries do not protect intellectual property rights relating to United
States
patents as extensively as those rights are protected in the United States.
The
issuance of a patent in one country does not assure the issuance of a patent
with similar claims in another country, and claim interpretation and
infringement laws vary among countries, so the extent of any patent protection
is uncertain and may vary in different countries. As with other companies
in the
pharmaceutical industry, we are subject to the risk that persons located
in
other countries will engage in development, marketing or sales activities
of
products that would infringe our patent rights if such activities were in
the
United States.
Our
product sales strategy involving corporate partners is highly
uncertain.
Cellegy
is seeking to enter into agreements with corporate partners regarding
commercialization of our lead product candidates. Cellegy currently has a
limited number of agreements with third parties to commercialize our product
candidates. Cellegy may not be able to establish other future collaborative
arrangements and we may not have the resources or the experience to successfully
commercialize any such products on our own. Failure to enter into other
arrangements could prevent, delay or otherwise jeopardize our ability to
develop
and market products in the United States and in markets outside of North
America, reducing our revenues and profitability.
26
With
the
current and future planned corporate partner arrangements, we may rely on
our
partners to conduct clinical trials, obtain regulatory approvals and, if
approved, manufacture, distribute, market or co-promote these products. Reliance
on third party partners can create risks to our product commercialization
efforts. Once agreements are completed, particularly if they are completed
at a relatively early stage of product development, Cellegy may have little
or
no control over the development or marketing of these potential products
and
little or no opportunity to review clinical data before or after public
announcement of results. Further, any arrangements that may be established
may
not be successful or may be subject to dispute or litigation between the
parties.
We
do not have any history of manufacturing products on a large scale, and we
have
a limited number of critical suppliers.
Cellegy
has no direct experience in manufacturing commercial quantities of products
and
currently does not have any capacity to manufacture products on a large
commercial scale. We currently rely on a limited number of contract
manufacturers, primarily PendoPharm, Inc. and certain of Biosyn’s suppliers, to
manufacture our formulations. In the future, we may not be able to obtain
contract manufacturing on commercially acceptable terms for compounds or
product
formulations in the quantities we need. Manufacturing or quality control
problems, lack of financial resources or qualified personnel could occur
with
our contract manufacturers causing product shipment delays, inadequate supply,
or causing the contractor not to be able to maintain compliance with the
FDA’s
current Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) requirements necessary to continue
manufacturing. Such problems could limit our ability to produce clinical
or
commercial product, cause us to be in breach of contract obligations with
our
distributors to supply product to them, reduce our revenues from product
sales,
and otherwise adversely affect our business and stock price.
PendoPharm, Inc.
is Cellegy’s contract manufacturer for our North American and European clinical
and commercial supply of prescription products in those territories, while
the
Australian and South Korean product sales are sourced by a pharmaceutical
manufacturer in Australia. In July 2003, PanGeo Pharma, our former contract
manufacturer, filed for bankruptcy protection under Canadian law. Under a
reorganization plan, PanGeo sold its facilities to an affiliate of
Pharmascience, another Canadian manufacturer, and was renamed PendoPharm,
Inc.
Cellegy has not experienced any material adverse impact to date from the
previous bankruptcy filing. The manufacturing facility was inspected and
re-certified by Canadian regulatory authorities after its acquisition by
PendoPharm, and PendoPharm has continued to supply product from the
manufacturing facility without interruption.
Nevertheless,
uncertainty exists concerning the future operations of PendoPharm’s
manufacturing plant and whether PendoPharm will be able to meet Cellegy’s
clinical and product requirements on a timely basis, if at all, in the future.
In addition, there can be no assurances relating to PendoPharm’s ability to
produce product under GMP as required by the FDA or by other regulatory
agencies. There could be difficulty or delays in importing raw materials
or
exporting product into or out of Canada resulting in delays in our clinical
trials or commercial product sales.
We
have limited sales and marketing experience.
We
may
market some of our products, if successfully developed and approved and if
we
obtain sufficient funding, through a direct sales force in the United States.
Cellegy has very limited experience in sales, marketing or distribution.
To
market these products directly, we may seek to establish a direct sales force
in
the United States or obtain the assistance of a marketing partner. However,
Cellegy may not have the financial capability or the experience to successfully
establish a direct sales force, marketing or distribution operations, which
could delay or prevent the successful commercialization of our products and
could reduce the ultimate profitability to Cellegy of such products if we
needed
to rely on a third party marketing partner to commercialize the
products.
27
If
medical doctors do not prescribe our products or the medical profession does
not
accept our products, our product sales and business would be adversely
affected.
Our
business is dependent on market acceptance of our products by physicians,
healthcare payers, patients and the medical community. Medical doctors’
willingness to prescribe our products depends on many factors,
including:
· |
perceived
efficacy of our products;
|
· |
convenience
and ease of administration;
|
· |
prevalence
and severity of adverse side effects in both clinical trials and
commercial use;
|
· |
availability
of alternative treatments;
|
· |
cost
effectiveness;
|
· |
effectiveness
of our marketing strategy and the pricing of our
products;
|
· |
publicity
concerning our products or competing products;
and
|
· |
our
ability to obtain third-party coverage or
reimbursement.
|
Even
if
we receive regulatory approval and satisfy the above criteria, physicians
may
not prescribe our products if we do not promote our products effectively.
Factors that could affect our success in marketing our products
include:
· |
the
experience, skill and effectiveness of the sales force and our sales
managers;
|
· |
the
effectiveness of our production, distribution and marketing
capabilities;
|
· |
the
success of competing products; and
|
· |
the
availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party
payers.
|
Failure
of our products or product candidates to achieve market acceptance would
limit
our ability to generate revenue and could harm our business.
If
testosterone replacement therapies are perceived to create health risks,
our
testosterone gel product candidates may be
jeopardized.
Past
studies of female hormone replacement therapy products have reported an increase
in certain health risks with long-term use. As a result of such studies,
some
companies that sell or develop female hormone replacement products have
experienced decreased sales of these products, and in some cases, a decline
in
the value of their stock. Publications have, from time to time, suggested
potential health risks associated with testosterone replacement therapy (“TRT”).
It is possible that further studies on the effects of TRT could demonstrate
other health risks. This, as well as negative publicity about the risks of
hormone replacement therapy, including TRT, could adversely affect patient
or
prescriber attitudes and impact the development and successful commercialization
of our Fortigel, Tostrex and Tostrelle product candidates. In addition, in
a
meeting with the FDA, the FDA informed Cellegy that specific guidelines
regarding the long-term safety of testosterone for the treatment of female
sexual dysfunction are under internal discussion by the Division of Reproductive
and Urologic Drug Products. Cellegy is awaiting these guidelines before
embarking on a Phase 3 program. If the new FDA guidelines prove to be too
onerous or too costly to implement, the Phase 3 program may be significantly
delayed or we may decide not to pursue further development of Tostrelle product.
The above factors could adversely affect investor attitudes and the price
of our
common stock.
We
have very limited staffing and will continue to be dependent upon key
personnel.
Our
success is dependent upon the efforts of a small management team and staff.
We
have compensation or employment arrangements and a severance/retention plan
in
place with all of our executive officers, but none of our executive officers
is
legally bound to remain employed for any specific term. These arrangements
may
be terminated by either Cellegy or the officer at any time upon notice. We
do
not have key man life insurance policies covering any of our executive officers
or key employees. If key individuals leave Cellegy, we could be adversely
affected if suitable replacement personnel are not quickly recruited. There
is
competition for qualified personnel in all functional areas, which makes
it
difficult to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the
development and growth of our business. Our future success depends upon our
ability to continue to attract and retain qualified scientific, clinical
and
administrative personnel.
28
Our
corporate compliance programs cannot guarantee that we are in compliance
with
all potentially applicable regulations.
The
development, manufacturing, pricing, sales, and reimbursement of our products,
together with our general operations, are subject to extensive regulation
by
federal, state and other authorities within the United States and numerous
entities outside of the United States. We are a relatively small company
and we
rely heavily on third parties to conduct many important functions. We also
have
significantly fewer employees than many other companies that have the same
or
fewer product candidates in late stage clinical development. In addition,
as a
publicly traded company we are subject to significant regulations, including
the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, some of which have either only recently been
adopted
or are currently proposals subject to change. While we have developed and
instituted a corporate compliance program and continue to update the program
in
response to newly implemented or changing regulatory requirements, we cannot
assure you that we are now or will be in compliance with all such applicable
laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations,
we
could be subject to a range of regulatory actions, including suspension or
termination of clinical trials, restrictions on our products or manufacturing
processes, withdrawal of products from the market, significant fines, or
other
sanctions or litigation. Failure to comply with potentially applicable laws
and
regulations could also lead to the imposition of fines, cause the value of
our
common stock to decline, and impede our ability to raise capital or lead
to the
de-listing of our stock.
We
are
evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management
to
report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest
to,
our internal controls, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be
performing the system and process evaluation and testing (and any necessary
remediation) required to comply with the management certification and auditor
attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section
404”). As a result, we expect to incur significant additional expenses and
diversion of management’s time. Cellegy is considered a non-accelerated filer,
and as such is required to comply with the Section 404 requirements for its
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. While we anticipate being able to fully
implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other aspects
of Section 404 by our compliance deadline, we cannot be certain as to the
timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or
the
impact of the same on our operations. If we are not able to implement the
requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance,
we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities,
including the SEC. In addition, we may be required to incur a substantial
financial investment to improve our internal systems and the hiring of
additional personnel or consultants.
Risks
Relating to Our Industry
We
face intense competition from larger companies, and in the future Cellegy
may
not have the resources required to develop innovative products. Cellegy’s
products are subject to competition from existing
products.
The
pharmaceutical industry is subject to rapid and significant technological
change. In the development and marketing of prescription drugs, Cellegy faces
intense competition. Cellegy is much smaller in terms of size and resources
than
many of its competitors in the United States and abroad, which include, among
others, major pharmaceutical, chemical, consumer product, specialty
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and other research
institutions. Cellegy’s competitors may succeed in developing technologies and
products that are safer and more effective than any that we are developing
and
could render Cellegy’s technology and potential products obsolete and
noncompetitive. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial
and technical resources, clinical production and marketing capabilities and
regulatory experience. In addition, Cellegy’s products are subject to
competition from existing products. Cellegesic, if ever commercialized, is
expected to compete with over-the-counter products, such as Preparation H
marketed by Wyeth, and various prescription products. As a result, we cannot
assure you that Cellegy’s products under development may not be able to compete
successfully with existing products or with innovative products under
development by other organizations.
Savvy
is
subject to competition from other microbicides that are currently undergoing
clinical trials and which may be sold by prescription or over the counter,
as
well as non-microbicide products such as condoms. Additionally, if a vaccine
for
HIV/AIDS is successfully developed and made available, this could limit the
potential market for Savvy and Biosyn’s other products. As a result, Biosyn’s
products under development may not be able to compete successfully with existing
products or other innovative products under development.
We
are subject to the risk of clinical trial and product liability
lawsuits.
The
testing of human health care product candidates entails an inherent risk
of
allegations of clinical trial liability, while the marketing and sale of
approved products entails an inherent risk of allegations of product liability.
We are subject to the risk that substantial liability claims from the testing
or
marketing of pharmaceutical products could be asserted against us in the
future.
Cellegy has obtained clinical trials insurance coverage relating to our clinical
trials in an aggregate amount of $3 million. If any of our product candidates
are approved for marketing, we may seek additional coverage.
29
There
can
be no assurance that Cellegy will be able to obtain or maintain insurance
on
acceptable terms, particularly in overseas locations, for clinical and
commercial activities or that any insurance obtained will provide adequate
protection against potential liabilities. Moreover, our current and future
coverage may not be adequate to protect us from all of the liabilities that
we
may incur. If losses from liability claims exceed our insurance coverage,
we may
incur substantial liabilities that exceed our financial resources. In addition,
a product or clinical trial liability action against us would be expensive
and
time-consuming to defend, even if we ultimately prevailed. If we are required
to
pay a claim, we may not have sufficient financial resources and our business
and
results of operations may be harmed.
Our
stock price could be volatile.
Our
stock
price has from time to time experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations. Since becoming a public company, our stock price has fluctuated
due to overall market conditions and due to matters or events more specific
to
Cellegy. Events or announcements that could significantly impact our stock
price
include:
· |
Clinical
trial results, particularly the outcome of our more advanced studies;
or
negative responses from both domestic and foreign regulatory authorities
with regard to the approvability of our
products;
|
· |
Publicity
or announcements regarding regulatory developments relating to our
products;
|
· |
Period-to-period
fluctuations in our financial results, including our cash and investment
balance, operating expenses, cash burn rate or revenue
levels;
|
· |
Negative
public announcements, additional legal proceeding or financial problems
of
our key suppliers, particularly relating to our Canadian manufacturer
and
our service providers;
|
· |
Common
stock sales in the public market by one or more of our larger
stockholders, officers or directors;
|
· |
A
negative outcome in existing litigation or other potential legal
proceedings; or
|
· |
Other
potentially negative financial announcements, including delisting
from the
OTCBB, a review of any of our filings by the SEC, changes in accounting
treatment or restatement of previously reported financial results
or
delays in our filings with the SEC.
|
The
Kingsbridge Structured Secondary Offering (“Kingsbridge SSO”) financing
arrangement may have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. The SSO arrangement
imposes certain limitations on our ability to issue equity or equity-linked
securities.
There
are
4,000,000 shares of our common stock that are reserved for issuance under
the
structured secondary offering facility arrangement, or Kingsbridge SSO, that
we
entered into in January 2004 with Kingsbridge Capital Limited, or
Kingsbridge, 260,000 shares of which are related to a warrant that we issued
to
Kingsbridge. In certain circumstances where the registration statement covering
those shares is not effective or available to Kingsbridge, additional shares
may
be issuable to Kingsbridge under the agreement. Such circumstances could
include, for example, suspending Kingsbridge’s ability to sell shares pursuant
to the registration statement because of the existence of material undisclosed
developments relating to Cellegy. If within 15 trading days following any
settlement date on which Cellegy issues shares under the Kingsbridge SSO,
Cellegy suspends Kingsbridge’s ability to sell shares by delivering a notice to
Kingsbridge, referred to as a blackout notice, then if the volume weighted
average market price (“VWAP”) of our common stock, is higher on the trading day
immediately before the blackout notice is delivered than it is on the first
trading date after the blackout trading period is lifted, Cellegy is obligated
to pay to Kingsbridge an amount based on a percentage, ranging from 75% to
25%
depending on when the blackout notice is delivered, of the difference between
the two VWAP prices multiplied by the number of shares purchased by Kingsbridge
under the most recent drawn down and held by Kingsbridge immediately before
the
suspension was imposed. Cellegy may, in its discretion, pay this amount either
in cash or in shares, the value of which is based on the market price of
the
common stock on the first trading date after the registration statement became
available again.
30
The
issuance of shares under the Kingsbridge SSO at a discount to the market
price of the common stock, and upon exercise of the warrant, will have a
dilutive impact on other stockholders, and the issuance or even potential
issuance of such shares, if any, could have a negative effect on the market
price of our common stock. If we sell stock to Kingsbridge when our share
price
is decreasing, such issuance will have a more dilutive effect and may further
decrease our stock price. A decrease in our stock price or other consequences
of
issuing shares under the Kingsbridge SSO could potentially cause us not to
satisfy one or more requirements for the continued listing of our common
stock
on the OTCBB, or could impair or prevent our ability to obtain additional
required financing, resulting in a damaged capital structure.
To
the
extent that Kingsbridge sells shares of our common stock issued under the
Kingsbridge SSO to third parties, our stock price may decrease due to the
additional selling pressure in the market. The perceived risk of dilution
from
sales of stock to or by Kingsbridge may cause holders of our common stock
to
sell their shares or encourage short sales. This could contribute to decline
in
our stock price.
During
the two-year term of the Kingsbridge SSO, we are subject to certain restrictions
on our ability to engage in certain equity or equity-linked financings without
the consent of Kingsbridge. These restrictions primarily relate to non-fixed
future-priced securities. We may not issue securities that are, or may become,
convertible or exchangeable into shares of common stock where the purchase,
conversion or exchange price for such common stock is determined using a
floating or otherwise adjustable discount to the market price of the common
stock during the two year term of our agreement with Kingsbridge. However,
the
agreement does not prohibit us from conducting most kinds of additional debt
or
equity financings, including Private Investments in Public Equity (“PIPE”),
shelf offerings, and secondary offerings.
Under
the
terms of the Kingsbridge SSO, if we fail to issue and sell common stock to
Kingsbridge pursuant to draw downs at least equal to $2.66 million, then
we have
agreed to pay $266,000 to Kingsbridge. We have made draw-downs of less than
this
amount. As a result, unless these provisions are amended or waived, we owe
Kingsbridge $266,000. The Company has accrued this amount in the quarter
ended
March 31, 2006.
Future
sales of shares of our common stock may negatively affect our stock
price.
A
substantial portion of our shares is held by a relatively small number of
stockholders. Sales of a significant number of shares into the public markets,
particularly in light of our relatively small trading volume, may negatively
affect our stock price. We also have outstanding warrants and vested stock
options that can be exercised by the holders to acquire shares of our common
stock. The exercise of these options or warrants could result in significant
dilution to our stockholders at the time of exercise.
In
the
future, we will likely issue additional shares of common stock or other equity
securities, including but not limited to options, warrants or other derivative
securities convertible into our common stock, which could result in significant
dilution to our stockholders and adversely affect our stock price
Changes
in the expensing of stock options could result in unfavorable accounting
charges
or require us to change our compensation practices.
For
Cellegy, stock options are a significant component of compensation for existing
employees and to attract new employees. We currently are not required to
record
stock-based compensation charges if the employee’s stock option exercise price
equals or exceeds the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant.
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued a new accounting standard
requiring recording of expense for the fair value of stock options granted.
During 2006, when we change our accounting policy to record expense for the
fair
value of stock options granted our net loss may increase. We intend to continue
to include various forms of equity in our compensation plans, such as stock
options and other forms of equity compensation allowed under our plans. If
we
continue our reliance on stock options, our reported losses could
increase.
