Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Eyenovia. Inc. (“Eyenovia” or the “Company”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of ophthalmology products utilizing its patented piezo-print technology to deliver micro-doses (6–8 µL) of active pharmaceutical ingredients (or “micro-therapeutics”) topically to the eye. This disruptive micro-dosing technology has the potential to replace traditional macro-dosing applications (e.g. conventional eye droppers) that routinely overdose or under-dose the topical administration of ophthalmic therapeutics.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2018 or any other period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on April 2, 2018.

Effective January 8, 2018, pursuant to authority granted by the stockholders of the Company, the Company implemented a 1-for-3.75 reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock (the “Reverse Split”). The number of authorized shares was unchanged as a result of the Reverse Split. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Since the date of the Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed below.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company incurred net losses of $3,429,607 and $1,106,348 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2018, the Company’s working capital and accumulated deficit were $26,836,810 and $22,690,793, respectively. The Company has not yet generated revenues or achieved profitability and it is expected that its research and development and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, the Company will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. On January 29, 2018, the Company raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately $24.5 million in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”). See Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity – Initial Public Offering for additional details.

The Company believes its current cash on hand is sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Thereafter, the Company may need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support its future operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

Cash - Continued

The Company has cash deposits in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had cash balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $27,352,069 and $4,999,511, respectively.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average diluted common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity on the accounting for modifications of stock-based awards. ASU 2017-09 requires adoption on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending after December 15, 2017 for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 – Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

Litigations, Claims and Assessments

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.

The Company, its Chief Executive Officer and members of its Board of Directors are named as defendants in a legal proceeding filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on September 2, 2014 that has not yet been fully resolved in connection with the Company’s Asset Purchase Agreement with Corinthian Ophthalmic, Inc. (“Corinthian”). A shareholder of Corinthian, alleging a fraudulent transfer, is seeking to recover the purchase price of its Corinthian shares and other damages in aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million. The parties are not close to agreement on a settlement, and although further discussions may occur, the parties are prepared to proceed to trial. The court conducted a pretrial conference on January 22, 2018 and entered a final pretrial order on January 23, 2018. The order provided, among other things, for a final pretrial conference to be conducted on August 15, 2018 to address objections to expert witnesses’ opinions and testimony, with objections to be submitted by July 18, 2018 and responses by August 1, 2018. Trial briefs, requests for jury instructions, and proposed voir dire questions are due on August 30, 2018. The trial is scheduled for September 10, 2018. The Company is indemnified by Corinthian and Corinthian’s applicable insurance policy provides coverage of $10 million, such that the Company does not expect to incur a material loss as a result of this litigation and, as a result, did not record a loss contingency as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer as well as a member of its Board of Directors are both partners in Private Medical Equity, Inc. (“PME”).

On August 1, 2017, the agreement was terminated and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was employed full time by the Company. The Board member now bills the Company through a separate consulting agreement dated July 6, 2017 that is discussed below.

A company in which a member of the Company’s Board of Directors is part owner is a party to a consulting agreement with the Company dated July 6, 2017 that provides for the payment of $9,567 per month, and $250 per hour for any additional work, for advisory services performed by such director.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of ophthalmology products utilizing our patented piezo-print technology to deliver micro-doses (6–8 µL) of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or micro-therapeutics, topically to the eye. This micro-dosing technology has the potential to replace traditional macro-dosing applications (e.g. conventional eye droppers) that routinely overdose or under-dose when used in the topical administration of ophthalmic therapeutics. We believe our micro-therapeutic product candidates may be able to achieve similar pharmacologic effects as traditional macro-dosing applications while reducing the adverse effects associated with these techniques. We have received written FDA feedback indicating that we can proceed to Phase III clinical trials for two of our lead programs: MicroProst, a novel micro-therapeutic latanoprost formulation for CACG, an indication with no FDA-approved drug treatments; and MicroStat, a fixed combination of micro-therapeutic phenylephrine-tropicamide formulation for mydriasis, also known as pupil dilation for use in eye exams. MicroTears, our OTC product candidate for dry eye, will not require Phase III clinical trials, and we plan to proceed with registration activities.

We have completed two Phase II clinical trials, treating more than 110 subjects, with results published in peer-reviewed literature. Applying multiple front-of-the-eye (the area in front of the lens) formulations in subjects for mydriasis, our piezo-print technology delivered microliter precision at the volume of the eye’s natural tear film capacity of 6–8 µL, which reduced ocular and systemic drug and preservative exposure when compared to eye drops, resulting in comparable efficacy with fewer side effects. We believe that these clinical trials support our advancement into late stage clinical trials utilizing the 505(b)(2) pathway. We intend to use this pathway for future clinical trials in new indications with significant unmet needs. We plan to commence clinical trials for MicroProst and MicroStat in the second half of 2018, pending IND submission and FDA feedback.

We have not completed development of any product candidate and we have therefore not generated any revenues from product sales.

Historically, we have financed our operations principally through private placements of preferred stock as well as our initial public offering that closed in January 2018. Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements, based upon our current operating plan, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. Thereafter, the Company will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support its future operations. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs.

Our net losses were $3.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $22.7 million.

Financial Overview

Revenue

We have not generated any revenue from product sales since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. Our ability to generate revenues will depend heavily on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our micro-therapeutic product candidates.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are incurred in connection with the research and development of our micro-therapeutics and consist primarily of contract service expenses. Given where we are in our life cycle, we do not separately track research and development expenses by project. Our research and development expenses consist of:

We expense research and development costs as incurred. We record costs for some development activities, such as clinical trials, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as subject enrollment, clinical site activations or other information our vendors provide to us.

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, legal and other professional services, as well as non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research and development and the potential commercialization of our product candidates. We also anticipate increased expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements. In addition, director and officer insurance premiums and investor relations costs associated with being a public company are expected to increase in future periods.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $2.1 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 130%, as compared to $0.9 million recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Research and development expenses consisted of the following:

The increase in facilities and other expenses and personnel-related expenses is primarily due to an increase in supplies and headcount as we expanded our research and development activities for our micro-therapeutic products. The increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense as compared to the 2017 period was due to additional stock options that were granted in July 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $1.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 575%, as compared to $0.2 million recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees of $0.4 million, non-cash stock-based compensation costs of $0.4 million, and expenses related to payroll and contracted services of $0.2 million as compared to 2017. This increase was largely due to increased headcount associated with the growth of our business as well as costs related to being a public company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations. At March 31, 2018, our accumulated deficit since inception was $22.7 million. In January 2018, we raised aggregate net proceeds of $24.5 million in connection with our initial public offering.

At March 31, 2018, we had total current assets of $28.0 million and current liabilities of $1.0 million, resulting in working capital of $27.0 million. At March 31, 2018, we had total assets of $28.0 million and total liabilities of $1.1 million, resulting in stockholders’ equity of $27.0 million.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no debt outstanding.

At March 31, 2018, we had a cash balance of $27.6 million. We expect our current cash on hand to be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. Thereafter, we will likely need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund research and development activities including clinical studies, working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.4 million, which includes cash used to fund a net loss of $3.4 million, reduced by $0.7 of non-cash stock compensation and depreciation expenses. This was partially offset by $0.4 million of cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0.9 million, which includes cash used to fund a net loss of $1.1 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities.

There were no cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which was attributable to purchases of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $24.7 million, which was primarily attributable to $25.1 million of proceeds from the sale of common stock in our initial public offering, reduced by issuance costs related to our initial public offering of $0.4 million. There were no cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Based on the foregoing evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K did not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly public companies and emerging growth companies, as applicable. However, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified as of December 31, 2017 in the normal course and continued to exist as of March 31, 2018:

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We intend to address the weaknesses identified above by (a) increasing the oversight and review procedures of the Board of Directors and our Audit Committee with regard to financial reporting, financial processes and procedures and internal control procedures and (b) hiring additional finance and accounting personnel, including a Chief Financial Officer (hired December 2017), who will assist in the process of remediating the weaknesses identified above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our internal control over financial reporting did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities Offering

On January 24, 2018, the SEC declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-222162), as amended, filed in connection with the initial public offering of our common stock. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, we registered the offer and sale of up to $35,000,000 of our common stock. On January 29, 2018, we issued and sold 2,730,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $10.00 per share. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc., and Roth Capital Partners acted as joint book-running managers for the offering.

As a result of the offering, we received net proceeds of approximately $24.5 million in the aggregate, which consists of gross proceeds of $27.3 million, offset by underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.9 million and other offering expenses of approximately $0.9 million. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates. The offering has terminated.

There has been no material change in the expected use of the net proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus, dated January 24, 2018, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) relating to our Registration Statement on Form S-1.
