ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

   

1. Nature of Organization and Development Stage Operations

ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. (the Company) is a development stage company that is seeking to develop and commercialize new therapeutics to fight cancer using the immune system.

Since the Company’s inception on February 25, 2004, the Company has been primarily engaged in the acquisition of certain intellectual property, together with development of its product candidates and the recent clinical testing activities for one of its vaccine product candidates, and has not generated any recurring revenues. The Company’s lead product candidate, ICT-107, is in Phase II clinical development. The Company has two other candidates, ICT-140 and ICT-121, that each have investigational new drug (IND) applications for initiation of clinical development. The Company has sustained operating losses and, as of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $52,086,391. The Company expects to incur significant research, development and administrative expenses before any of its products can be launched and recurring revenues generated.

Interim Results

The accompanying condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from February 25, 2004 (inception) to September 30, 2013 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which the Company’s management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2012 have been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 11, 2013.

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s operating results will fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods.

   

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Development Stage Enterprise – The Company is a development stage enterprise and is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to research and development. All losses accumulated since inception are considered part of the Company’s development stage activities.

Liquidity – As of September 30, 2013, the Company had working capital of $28,767,993, compared to working capital of $25,832,869 as of December 31, 2012. The estimated cost of completing the development of any of our current vaccine product candidates and of obtaining all required regulatory approvals to market any of those product candidates is substantially greater than the amount of funds we currently have available. However, we believe that our existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months, although there is no assurance that such proceeds will be sufficient.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $25,910,858 and $23,646,922, respectively, of certificates of deposit. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with various banks in order to maintain FDIC insurance on all of its investments.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives (generally three to five years) of the related assets. Computer and computer equipment are depreciated over three years. Management continuously monitors and evaluates the realizability of recorded long-lived assets to determine whether their carrying values have been impaired. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the nondiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. Any impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Research and Development Costs – Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for direct research and development and are expensed as incurred.

 

 9 


Stock Based Compensation – The Company records the cost for all share-based payment transactions in the Company’s financial statements.

Stock option grants issued prior to March 31, 2011 to employees and officers and directors were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Stock option grants made subsequent to March 31, 2011 were valued using the binomial lattice simulation model.

Fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate used is based on the implied yield currently available in U.S. Treasury securities at maturity with an equivalent term. The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so in the future. The expected term of options represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on projected holding periods for the remaining unexercised shares. Consideration was given to the contractual terms of our stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the expected volatility is based on market prices of traded options for comparable entities within our industry. Forfeitures have been estimated to be nil.

The Company’s stock price volatility and option lives involve management’s best estimates, both of which impact the fair value of the option calculated and, ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option.

When options are exercised, our policy is to issue previously unissued shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 56,617,706 million shares of authorized but unissued common stock.

No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes under the liability method, with a deferred tax asset or liability determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates. The Company’s provision for income taxes represents the amount of taxes currently payable, if any, plus the change in the amount of net deferred tax assets or liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets if recoverability is uncertain on a more likely than not basis. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company fully reserved its deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position if the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority nor has it been notified of an impending examination. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 remain open for possible review.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their quick turnover. The fair value of warrant derivative liability is estimated using the Binomial Lattice option valuation model.

Fair value for financial reporting is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2—quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3—inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

 10 


Warrant liabilities represent the only financial assets or liabilities recorded at fair value by the Company. The fair value of warrant liabilities are determined based on Level 3 inputs.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about the future outcome of current transactions which may affect the reporting and disclosure of these transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share – Basic and diluted loss per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common share equivalents (which consist of options and warrants) are excluded from the computation if the effect would be antidilutive. Common share equivalents which could potentially dilute earnings per share, and which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, totaled 14,610,187 shares and 19,290,100 shares at September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2011-5, which amends the Comprehensive Income Topic of the ASC. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which further amends the Comprehensive Income Topic of the ASC. This amendment requires entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount is being reclassified in its entirety to net income. This standard became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these ASU’s did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC) did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

4. Related-Party Transactions

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center License Agreement

Dr. John Yu, our Chief Scientific Officer and former interim Chief Executive Officer, is a neurosurgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (Cedars-Sinai). In November 2006, the Company entered into a license agreement with Cedars-Sinai under which the Company acquired an exclusive, worldwide license to its technology for use as cellular therapies, including cancer stem cell and dendritic cell-based vaccines for neurological disorders that include brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders and other cancers. This technology is covered by a number of issued and pending U.S. and foreign patents and applications, and the term of the license will be until the last to expire of any patent claims that are issued covering this technology.

As an upfront licensing fee, the Company issued Cedars-Sinai 694,000 shares of its common stock and paid Cedars-Sinai $62,000. Additional specified milestone payments will be required to be paid to Cedars-Sinai when the Company initiates patient enrollment in its first Phase III clinical trial and when it receives FDA marketing approval for its first product.

The Company has agreed to pay Cedars-Sinai specified percentages of all of its sublicensing income and gross revenues from sales of products based on the licensed technology. To maintain its rights to the licensed technology, the Company must meet certain development and funding milestones. These milestones include, among others, commencing a Phase I clinical trial for a product candidate by March 31, 2007 and raising at least $5,000,000 in funding from equity or other sources by December 31, 2008. The Company satisfied the foregoing funding requirement in 2007 and commenced a Phase I clinical trial in May 2007, which was within the applicable cure period for the milestone requirement. Through December 31, 2009, the Company has paid Cedars-Sinai a total of $166,660 in connection with the Phase I clinical trial. The Company also was required to commence a Phase II clinical trial for a product candidate by December 31, 2008 and a waiver of this requirement was obtained from Cedars-Sinai (see Second Amendment below).

On June 16, 2008, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement (the Amendment) with Cedars-Sinai. The Amendment amended the License Agreement to include in the Company’s exclusive license from Cedars-Sinai under that agreement an epitope to CD133 and certain related intellectual property. This technology is covered by U.S. patent applications filed by both parties. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company issued Cedars-Sinai 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as an additional license fee for the licensed CD133 epitope technology, which will be subject to the royalty and other terms of the License Agreement.

On July 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement (the Second Amendment) with Cedars-Sinai to become effective August 1, 2009. The Second Amendment amended the License Agreement to revise the milestones set forth in the License Agreement that the Company must achieve in order to maintain its license rights under that agreement. The revised milestones include the replacement of a milestone that required commencement of a Phase II clinical trial for the Company’s first product candidate by no later than December 31, 2008 with milestones that require commencement of a Phase I clinical trial for the Company’s second product candidate by no later than June 30, 2010 and commencement of a Phase II clinical trial for one of the Company’s product candidates by no later than March 31, 2012.

Effective March 23, 2010, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement (the Third Amendment) with Cedars-Sinai. The Third Amendment amended the License Agreement to revise the milestones set forth in the License Agreement that the Company must achieve in order to maintain its license rights under that agreement. The revised milestones include the replacement of a milestone that required commencement of a Phase I clinical trial for the Company’s second product candidate by no later than June 30, 2010 and commencement of a Phase II clinical trial for one of the Company’s product candidates by no later than March 31, 2012 with a requirement that by September 30, 2011 the Company either commence a Phase II clinical trial for its dendritic cell vaccine candidate or a Phase I clinical trial for its cancer stem cell vaccine candidate. The amendment also added a requirement that the Company obtain certain defined forms of equity or other funding in the amount of at least $2,500,000 by December 31, 2010 and a total of at least $5,000,000 by September 30, 2011. These funding requirements were fully satisfied as of June 30, 2011.

Effective September 1, 2012, the Company entered into a new agreement with Cedars-Sinai whereby Cedars-Sinai provided research support for CD133 experiments in support of ICT-121. The agreement expired on September 19, 2013 and the Company made payments to Cedars-Sinai of $329,832. The Company is currently in negotiations with Cedars-Sinai to extend this research agreement.

6. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

In March 2010, the Company raised $1,654,686 (after commissions and offering expenses) from the sale of 1,740,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 696,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per share, to various investors in a private placement. (See “Warrants and Warrant Liabilities” below.)

In May 2010, the Company raised $2,716,308 (after commissions and offering expenses) from the sale of 2,490,910 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,245,455 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, to various investors in a private placement. (See “Warrants and Warrant Liabilities” below)

In February 2011, the Company raised $7,460,129 (after commissions and offering expenses) from the sale of 5,219,768 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,609,898 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, to various investors in a private placement. The warrants contain a provision whereby the warrant exercise price would be decreased in the event that certain future common stock issuances are made at a price less than $1.55. The January and October 2012 underwritten public offering (see below) provided for the issuance of shares at prices that were less than $1.55. Accordingly, the exercise price of these warrants was adjusted to $1.87 and the number of warrants was proportionally increased to 2,823,670 net of exercises. (See “Warrants and Warrant Liabilities” below)

In January 2012, the Company raised approximately $9,271,370 in an underwritten public offering, net of offering expenses of approximately $1.1 million, from the sale of 9,489,436 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4,744,718 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share, to various investors in an underwritten public offering. The warrants have a term of 60 months from the date of issuance. The warrants do not contain any features (such as net cash settlement or anti-dilution features) that would preclude the Company from accounting for these warrants as equity. Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for as equity.

In October 2012, the Company raised $19,359,553 in an underwritten public offering, net of offering expenses of approximately $1.6 million, from the sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.65 per share, to various investors in an underwritten public offering. The warrants have a term of 60 months from the date of issuance. The warrants do not contain any features (such as net cash settlement or anti-dilution features) that would preclude the Company from accounting for these warrants as equity. Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for as equity.

Controlled Equity Offering

On April 18, 2013, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the Sales Agreement) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as agent (Cantor), pursuant to which the Company may offer from time to time through Cantor, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million (of which only $17.0 million is currently registered for offer and sale). Under the Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell shares by any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, including sales made directly on the NYSE MKT, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker. The Company may instruct Cantor not to sell shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of the shares under the Sales Agreement. The offering of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the sale of all of the shares subject to the Sales Agreement or (b) the termination of the Sales Agreement by Cantor or the Company, as permitted therein. Cantor will receive a commission rate of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and the Company has agreed to provide Cantor with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company will also reimburse Cantor for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the Sales Agreement.  On April 22, 2013, NYSE MKT approved the listing of 10,593,220 shares of our common stock in connection with the Sales Agreement. Through September 30, 2013, we sold 1,862,142 shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement that resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $4,906,078, less offering expenses of approximately $338,000.  As of September 30, 2013, aggregate gross sales for additional common stock of approximately $11,754,071 remained available under the Sales Agreement.

Stock Options

In February 2005, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan). Pursuant to the Plan, a committee appointed by the Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, qualified or nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and may grant or sell restricted stock to key individuals, including employees, nonemployee directors, consultants and advisors. Option prices for qualified incentive stock options (which may only be granted to employees) issued under the plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted (unless the option is granted to a person who, at the time of grant, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company; in which case the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted). Option prices for nonqualified stock options issued under the Plan are at the discretion of the committee and may be equal to, greater or less than fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The options vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors and are exercisable no later than ten years from date of grant (unless they are qualified incentive stock options granted to a person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, in which case the options are exercisable no later than five years from date of grant). Initially, the Company reserved 6,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. On October 24, 2011, the Company’s shareholders voted to increase the number of authorized shares reserved for the Plan to 8,000,000 shares. On September 20, 2013, the Company’s shareholders voted to increase the number of authorized shares reserved for the Plan to 12,000,000 shares. Options to purchase 3,852,655 common shares have been granted under the Plan and are outstanding as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there were 5,644,347 options available for issuance under the Plan.

The following is a summary of stock option grants issued outside the Plan:

In January 2007, the Company granted an option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share to the Chairman of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board.

In November 2006, the Company granted an option to purchase 300,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to an affiliate of the Company’s then Chairman of the Board.

In November 2006, the Company granted an option to purchase 5,933,424 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to a Board member in connection with the Cedars-Sinai license acquisition.

Warrants

In connection with the March 2010 common stock private placement, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 696,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.15 per share. The warrants had a term of 26 months from the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2013, these warrants have been fully exercised.

In connection with the May 2010 common stock private placement, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 1,287,733 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share. The warrants have a term of 36 months from the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2013 these warrants have been fully exercised, except for warrants to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that expired. (See Warrant Liabilities below.)

In connection with the sale of Preferred Stock in May 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50. The warrants have a term of five-years from the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2013, warrants to purchase 1,290,996 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.50 remain outstanding related to this private placement. (See “Warrant Liability” below.)

In connection with the February 2011 common stock private placement, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 2,818,675 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.25 per share. The warrants have a five-year term from the date of issuance and contain a provision that provides for an adjustment to the exercise price in the event the Company completes an equity financing at a per share price of its common stock that is less than $1.55. As a result of the January and October 2012 financings, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $1.87 and the number of warrants was proportionately increased to 2,823,670 net of exercises. As of September 30, 2013, warrants to purchase 2,823,670 shares of the Company’s common stock remain outstanding related to this private placement. (See “Warrant Liability” below.)

In connection with the January 2012 underwritten public offering, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 4,744,718 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.41 per share. The warrants have a five-year term from the date of issuance. These warrants qualify for equity treatment since they do not have any provisions that would require the Company to redeem them for cash or that would result in an adjustment to the number of warrants. As of September 30, 2013, warrants to purchase 1,900,079 shares of the Company’s common stock remain outstanding relating to this public offering.

In connection with the October 2012 underwritten public offering, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.65 per share. The warrants have a five-year term from the date of issuance. These warrants qualify for equity treatment since they do not have any provisions that would require the Company to redeem them for cash or that would result in an adjustment to the number of warrants. As of September 30, 2013, warrants to purchase 4,480,750 shares of the Company’s common stock remain outstanding relating to this public offering.

Warrant Liability

The Company’s warrant liability is adjusted to fair value each reporting period and is influenced by several factors including the price of the Company’s common stock as of the balance sheet date. On September 30, 2013, the price per share of Company’s common stock was $2.57 per share compared to $1.92 per share at December 31, 2012 and $2.81 per share on September 30, 2012.

In connection with the March 2010 common stock private placement, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 696,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.15 per share. Of the total proceeds from the March 2010 common stock private placement, $257,520 was allocated to the freestanding warrants associated with the units based upon the fair value of the warrants determined under the Black Scholes option pricing model. The warrants contain a provision whereby the warrant exercise price would be decreased in the event that future common stock issuances are made at a price less than $1.00. Due to the potential variability of their exercise price, these warrants do not qualify for equity treatment, and therefore are recognized as a liability. The warrant liability was adjusted to fair value each reporting period, and any change in value is recognized in the statement of operations. Prior to 2011, the Company had concluded that Black-Scholes method of valuing the price adjustment feature does not materially differ from the valuation of such warrants using the lattice simulation model, and therefore, the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model was considered a reasonable method to value the warrants. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model for determining the initial fair value of the warrants were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 102%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 1.00%, and (iv) contractual life of 26 months.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to value the warrants using a binomial lattice simulation model. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the remaining warrants were fully exercised; however, the Company recognized an expense of $45,570 as the Company revalued the warrants at the date of exercise.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of nil and $745,500, respectively.

In connection with the May 2010 common stock private placement, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 1,287,773 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.50 per share. Of the total proceeds from the May 2010 common stock private placement, $834,455 was allocated to the freestanding warrants associated with the units based upon the fair value of the warrants determined under the Black Scholes option pricing model. The warrants contain a provision whereby the warrant exercise price would be decreased in the event that future common stock issuances are made at a price less than $1.00. Due to the potential variability of their exercise price, these warrants do not qualify for equity treatment, and therefore are recognized as a liability. The warrant liability is adjusted to fair value each reporting period, and any change in value is recognized in the statement of operations. Prior to 2011, the Company had concluded that the Black-Scholes method of valuing the price adjustment feature does not materially differ from the valuation of such warrants using the binomial lattice simulation model, and therefore, the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model was considered a reasonable method to value the warrants. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model for determining the initial fair value of the warrants were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 102%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 1.375%, and (iv) contractual life of 36 months. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to value the warrants using a binomial lattice simulation model. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a credit to other income of $745,778 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of $1,181,075. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the remaining warrants were fully exercised; however, the Company recognized a credit to other income of $403,665 as the Company revalued the warrants at the date of exercise.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of nil and $583,134, respectively.

In connection with the sale of Preferred Stock in 2010, the Company vested warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Of the total proceeds from the May 2010 preferred stock sale, $5,710,500 was allocated to the freestanding warrants associated with the units based upon the fair value of these warrants determined under the Black Scholes option pricing model. The warrants contain a provision whereby the warrant may be settled for cash in connection with a change of control with a private company. Due to the potential variability of their exercise price, these warrants do not qualify for equity treatment, and therefore are recognized as a liability. The warrant liability is adjusted to fair value each reporting period and any change in value is recognized in the statement of operations. Prior to 2011, the Company concluded that the Black-Scholes method of valuing the price adjustment feature does not materially differ from the valuation of such warrants using the Monte Carlo or binomial lattice simulation models, and therefore, the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model was considered a reasonable method to value the warrants. The assumptions used in the Black Scholes model for determining the initial fair value of the warrants were as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 102%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 2.50%, and (iv) contractual life of 60 months. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to value the warrants using a binomial lattice simulation model. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a credit to other income of $718,720 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of $732,750. As of September 30, 2013, the Company revalued the warrants using the binomial lattice simulation model assuming (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 70%; (iii) risk free rate of 0.24% and (iv) expected term of 1.59 years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of $348,569 and $345,987, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the warrant liability is $934,681.

In connection with the February 2011 common stock private placement, the Company issued to the investors warrants to purchase 2,818,675 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.25 per share. Of the total proceeds from the February 2011 common stock private placement, $2,476,790 was allocated to the freestanding warrants associated with the units based upon the fair value of the warrants determined under the Binomial lattice model. The warrants contain a provision whereby the warrant exercise price would be decreased in the event that certain future common stock issuances are made at a price less than $1.55. Due to the potential variability of their exercise price, these warrants do not qualify for equity treatment, and therefore are recognized as a liability. As a result of the January and October 2012 financings, the exercise price of the warrants was adjusted to $1.87 and the number of warrants was proportionately increased to 2,823,670 net of exercises. The Company recorded a charge to financing expense of $397,294 to reflect the issuance of the additional warrants. The warrant liability is adjusted to fair value each reporting period, and any change in value is recognized in the statement of operations. The Company initially valued these warrants using a binomial lattice simulation model assuming (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 146%; (iii) risk free rate of 1.96% and (iv) expected term of 5 years. Based upon those calculations, the Company calculated the initial valuation of the warrants to be $2,476,790. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a credit to other income of $1,313,003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of $2,727,643, As of September 30, 2013, the Company revalued the warrants using the binomial lattice simulation model assuming (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 73%; (iii) risk free rate of 0.45% and (iv) expected term of 2.39 years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a charge to other expense of $1,030,649 and $1,054,268, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the warrant liability is $2,755,928.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the expected volatility is based on market prices of traded options for comparable entities within our industry.

7. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

During 2011, the Company adopted a Profit Sharing Plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the plan are at the Company’s discretion. The Company did not make any matching contributions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or September 30, 2012.

   

8. Income Taxes

Deferred taxes represent the net tax effects of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences result primarily from the recording of tax benefits of net operating loss carry forwards and stock-based compensation.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has an insufficient history to support the likelihood of ultimate realization of the benefit associated with its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset.

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to loss before income taxes as follows:

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had federal and California income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $38 million. These net operating losses will begin to expire in 2022 and 2016, respectively, unless previously utilized.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code can limit the amount of net operating losses which may be utilized if certain changes to a company’s ownership occur. While the Company underwent an ownership change in 2012 as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, management estimated that the Company had not incurred any limitations on its ability to utilize its net operating losses under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code during 2012. The Company may incur limitations in the future if there is a change in ownership.

Overview and Plan of Operation

ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. (the Company) is a development stage company that is seeking to develop and commercialize new therapeutics to fight cancer using the immune system.

Since the Company’s inception on February 25, 2004, the Company has been primarily engaged in the acquisition of certain intellectual property, together with development of its product candidates and the recent clinical testing activities for one of its vaccine product candidates, and has not generated any recurring revenues. The Company’s lead product candidate, ICT-107 is in Phase II clinical development. The Company has two other candidates, ICT-140 and ICT-121, that each have investigational new drug (IND) applications for initiation of clinical development. The Company has sustained operating losses and, as of September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $52,086,391. The Company expects to incur significant research, development and administrative expenses before any of its products can be launched and recurring revenues generated.

On January 31, 2006, we completed a merger, pursuant to which Spectral Molecular Imaging, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary. At the time of the merger, we had virtually no assets or liabilities, and we had not conducted any business operations for several years. In connection with the merger, we changed our name from Patco Industries, Ltd. to Optical Molecular Imaging, Inc. and replaced our officers and directors with those of Spectral Molecular Imaging. Although we acquired Spectral Molecular Imaging in the merger, for accounting purposes the merger was treated as a reverse merger since the stockholders of Spectral Molecular Imaging acquired a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock and the directors and executive officers of Spectral Molecular Imaging became our directors and executive officers. Accordingly, our financial statements contained in this Report and the description of our results of operations and financial condition reflect the operations of Spectral Molecular Imaging through September 2006, when we sold that subsidiary and all of its operations to a third party.

In November 2006, we acquired an exclusive, worldwide license from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for certain cellular-based therapy technology that we are developing for the potential treatment of brain tumors and other forms of cancer. We have completed a Phase I clinical trial of a vaccine product candidate for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme based on this technology and in January 2011, we initiated a Phase II clinical trial. During 2012, we completed our patient enrollment for this trial.

In February 2008, we acquired certain monoclonal antibody related technology owned by Molecular Discoveries LLC. This technology consists of (1) a platform technology referred to by Molecular Discoveries as differential immunization for antigen and antibody discovery for the potentially rapid discovery of targets (antigens) and monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis and treatment of diverse human diseases and (2) certain monoclonal antibody candidates for the potential detection and treatment of multiple myeloma, small cell lung, pancreatic and ovarian cancers. These monoclonal antibody programs are at a pre-clinical stage of development and will require further development before an IND can be potentially filed for human testing. We do not plan to develop these technologies for our own use, but we may choose to license or discontinue them in the future.

In February 2012, we acquired an exclusive worldwide license from the University of Pennsylvania related to intellectual property for the production, use and cryopreservation of high-activity dendritic cell cancer vaccines, including ICT-107, our lead dendritic cell-based cancer vaccine candidate for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.

 

 20 


Also in February 2012, we acquired an exclusive, worldwide license from The John Hopkins University to certain intellectual property related to mesothelin-specific cancer immunotherapies.

In January 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed our IND for a clinical trial for ICT-140 Phase II open-label safety study to initially enroll 30 ovarian cancer patients with an option to enroll another 30 patients at our discretion.  The study is designed with a 2-to-1 randomization, whereby for every 2 patients who will receive the treatment 1 patient will receive the current standard of care. All of the patients participating in the study will have been previously treated with standard chemotherapeutic agents. This trial is expected to include five clinical sites in the United States and we expect to initiate the trial in the first quarter of 2014.

On July 30, 2013, we announced the initiation of a Phase I clinical trial of cancer vaccine ICT-121 as a potential treatment for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.

Since our inception on February 25, 2004, we have been primarily engaged in the acquisition of certain intellectual property, together with the recent clinical testing activities for our vaccine product candidates, and have not generated any recurring revenues. As a result, we have incurred operating losses and, as of September 30, 2013 we had an accumulated deficit of $52,086,391. We expect to incur significant research, development and administrative expenses before any of our products can be launched and recurring revenues, if ever, are generated.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets, including finite lived intangible assets, accrued liabilities, fair value of warrant derivatives and certain expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements for the period from February 25, 2004 to September 30, 2013. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Development Stage Enterprise

We are a development stage enterprise as defined by FASB ASC Topic 915, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” We are devoting substantially all of our present efforts to research and development. All losses accumulated since inception are considered as part of our development stage activities.

Research and Development Costs

Although we believe that our research and development activities and underlying technologies have continuing value, the amount of future benefits to be derived from them is uncertain. Research and development costs are therefore expensed as incurred rather than capitalized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 we recorded an expense of $3,905,338 and $6,567,086, respectively related to research and development activities. We expect our research and development expenses during the remainder of 2013 to remain relatively constant with the first half of the year.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is estimated as of the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period, based on the number of awards that are expected to vest. Estimating the fair value for stock options requires judgment, including the expected term of our stock options, volatility of our stock, expected dividends, risk-free interest rates over the expected term of the options and the expected forfeiture rate. In connection with our performance based programs, we make assumptions principally related to the number of awards that are expected to vest after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met.

 

 21 


Income Taxes

The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes under the liability method, with a deferred tax asset or liability determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates. The Company’s provision for income taxes represents the amount of taxes currently payable, if any, plus the change in the amount of net deferred tax assets or liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets if recoverability is uncertain on a more likely than not basis. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position if the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority nor has it been notified of an impending examination. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, remain open for possible review.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their quick turnover. The fair value of warrant liability is estimated using the Binomial Lattice option valuation model.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $3,793,441 and $637,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to a charge during the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $1,379,217 related to the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability, compared to a credit of $2,777,500 to revalue the warrant liability during the same period last year.  This increase was partially offset by reductions in our research and development expenses during the current period.

Revenues

We did not have any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and we do not expect to have any revenue in 2013.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $985,107 and $1,004,181, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we optimized our spending in the areas of investor relations, travel and professional fees, which resulted in a decrease in expense.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in personnel related expenses as we hired additional employees and we concluded a litigation matter.  The Company and certain officers and directors were the defendants in a lawsuit.  The plaintiff alleged that the Company and our directors breached their fiduciary duty for making inadequate disclosures in our proxy statement related to the proposed amendment to our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.  The litigation was settled during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and the Company does not expect to incur any additional expenses related to this matter.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1,276,507 and $2,378,917, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we completed our enrollment by enrolling 39 new patients in our Phase II clinical trial of ICT-107 bringing the total number of enrolled patients to 278. Since a significant amount of the expenses that we incur to treat patients are incurred shortly after enrollment, our patient treatment costs for ICT-107 were substantially higher during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in the amounts expended for ICT-107 was partially offset by certain pre-clinical expenses we incurred related to ICT-121 and ICT-140. Our future research and development expenses are heavily dependent on the outcome of our Phase II trial of ICT-107.  Depending on the outcome of that trial, we may need to conduct a Phase III trial with a patient enrollment that will likely be significantly larger than the Phase II trial.  The number of patients to be enrolled and the ultimate cost will be dependent on factors that are not presently known by us.  We will incur additional costs as we enroll patients in our ICT-121 and ICT-140 clinical trials.

We had $1,549,492 of non-cash expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2013, consisting of $1,379,217 related to the increase in our warrant liabilities, $156,277 of stock based compensation and $13,998 of depreciation expense. We had $45,330 of non-cash expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, consisting of $33,887 of stock based compensation and $11,443 of depreciation expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded $2,777,500 of other income related to the decrease in the fair value of our warrant liabilities.

 

 22 


Nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $8,917,561 and $14,978,879 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in the net loss is primarily due to reductions in research and development expenses and a reduced charge to other expense related to the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability.

Revenues

We did not have any revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and we do not expect to have any revenue in 2013.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $2,542,794 and $2,647,301, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we optimized our spending in the areas of investor relations, travel and professional fees, which resulted in a decrease in expense.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in personnel related expenses as we hired additional employees and we concluded a litigation matter.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $3,905,338 and $6,567,086, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed our enrollment by enrolling 39 new patients in our Phase II clinical trial of ICT-107 bringing the total number of enrolled patients to 278.  Additionally, we had two manufacturing facilities and 25 Phase II trial clinical sites that were operational.  Since we completed our ICT-107 patient enrollment during the third quarter of 2012, we did not incur certain expenses related to product manufacturing or quality control during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  However, we continued to incur other trial related expenses related to ICT-107.  The decrease in the amounts expended for ICT-107 was partially offset by certain pre-clinical expenses we incurred related to ICT-121 and ICT-140.  We expect our research and development expenses to increase during the remainder of 2013 as we incur on-going expenses related to our Phase II  trial of ICT-107 and as we begin enrolling patients in our clinical trials for ICT-121 and ICT-140.  

We had $2,523,238 of non-cash expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, consisting of $1,983,388 related to the increase in our warrant liabilities, $500,351 of stock based compensation, $3,817 loss on disposal of assets and $35,682 of depreciation expense. We had $5,435,166 of non-cash expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consisting of $5,018,224 related to the increase in our warrant liability, $382,611 of stock based compensation and $34,331 of depreciation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013, we had working capital of $28,767,993, compared to working capital of $25,832,869 as of December 31, 2012. The estimated cost of completing the development of either of our current vaccine product candidates and of obtaining all required regulatory approvals to market either of those product candidates is substantially greater than the amount of funds we currently have available. However, we believe that our existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months, although there is no assurance that such proceeds will be sufficient.

On April 18, 2013, we entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the Sales Agreement) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as agent (Cantor), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through Cantor, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million (of which only $17.0 million was initially registered for offer and sale). Under the Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell shares by any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, including sales made directly on the NYSE MKT, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker. We may instruct Cantor not to sell shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We are not obligated to make any sales of the shares under the Sales Agreement. The offering of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the sale of all of the shares subject to the Sales Agreement or (b) the termination of the Sales Agreement by Cantor or the Company, as permitted therein. We will pay Cantor a commission rate of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares and have agreed to provide Cantor with customary indemnification and contribution rights. We will also reimburse Cantor for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the Sales Agreement. On April 22, 2013, NYSE MKT approved the listing of 10,593,220 shares of our common stock in connection with the Sales Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued 1,862,142 shares and received net proceeds of $4,906,078.  As of September 30, 2013, we had $11,754,071 remaining under the registration statement.  See additional discussion in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed financial statements which are included in Part 1 of this Form 10-Q.

 

 23 


In October 2012, we raised $19,359,553 in an underwritten public offering, net of offering expenses of approximately $1.6 million, of 10 million units priced at $2.10 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase .45 of a share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.65 per share. In January 2012, we raised approximately $9,271,370 in an underwritten public offering, net of offering expenses of approximately $1.1 million, of 9,489,436 units at a price of $1.10 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of stock and a warrant to purchase 0.5 of a share of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share. In February 2011, we raised $7,460,129 (after commissions and offering expenses) from the sale of 5,219,768 units at a price of $1.55 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.5 of a share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. In May 2010, we raised $2,716,308 (after commissions and offering expenses) from the sale of 2,490,910 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,245,455 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In March 2010, we raised $1,654,686 (after commissions and offering expenses) from the sale of 1,740,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 696,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per share.

We may also seek to obtain funding through strategic alliances with larger pharmaceutical or biomedical companies. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain any additional funding from either financings or alliances, or that the terms under which we may be able to obtain such funding will be beneficial to us. If we are unsuccessful or only partly successful in our efforts to secure additional financing, we may find it necessary to suspend or terminate some or all of our product development and other activities.

As of September 30, 2013, we did not have any bank credit lines, long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, or other similar long-term liabilities. We have various purchase commitments for sponsored research and license fees. We have no financial guarantees, debt or lease agreements or other arrangements that could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could change the value of our assets, and we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Cash Flows

We used $6,054,663 of cash in our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $9,187,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we greatly expanded our research and development activities, expanded our investor relations program and obtained a listing on NYSE MKT. Since we completed our ICT-107 patient enrollment during the third quarter of 2012, we did not incur certain expenses related to product manufacturing or quality control during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred non-cash expenses consisting primarily of a valuation adjustment to our warrant liabilities of $1,983,388 and stock based compensation of $500,351. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred non-cash expenses consisting primarily of a valuation adjustment to our warrant liabilities of $5,018,224. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a non-cash financing expense of $368,524 related to the issuance of additional warrants triggered by the January 2012 stock issuance.

We used $37,877 cash from our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily to purchase computer equipment and a telephone system. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used $5,668 of cash from our investing activities to acquire office equipment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received net proceeds of $141,631 from the exercise of stock options and $4,261,723 from the exercise of warrants. We also received $4,906,078 in net proceeds from our controlled equity offering.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received net proceeds of $9,271,370, excluding $100,000 of deferred offering costs that were previously advanced by the Company, from the issuance of common stock and warrants and we received $3,153,852 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

Inflation and changing prices have had no effect on our income or losses from operations over our two most recent fiscal years.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on March 11, 2013 with the SEC.

   

 Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to SEC Rule 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, (i) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported or submitted within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error 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. 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 our company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. However, 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.
