Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

Coronado Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”), incorporated in Delaware on June 28, 2006 (date of inception), is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel immunotherapy biologic agents for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Development-Stage Risks and Liquidity

The Company is a development-stage enterprise. Activities to date include development of key compounds, establishing pre-commercial relationships, hiring qualified personnel and raising capital to fund operations. The Company continues to report as a development stage enterprise since planned principal operations have not yet commenced. Since inception, no revenue has been recognized.

The Company has incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $93.0 million as of March 31, 2013. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales from its product candidates. To date, the Company’s operations have been funded primarily by issuing equity and debt securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,565,101 shares of Common Stock for total net proceeds of $11.8 million of which $11.1 million was received as of March 31, 2013, under the Company’s At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM”) with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”) and $0.7 million was received on April 1, 2013. The Company has fully utilized its $30 million ATM facility. On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a new $45 million At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2013 ATM”) with MLV whereby up to $45 million of shares of Common Stock may be issued by the Company pursuant to its Form S-3 filed in September 2012. From January 1, 2013 through May 7, 2013, the Company issued 3.4 million shares of Common Stock for total net proceeds of $29.9 million under its ATM facilities.

The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the research, development and potential commercialization of its product candidates. Management believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand are sufficient to sustain operations at least for the next twelve months based on its existing business plan. The Company will require additional financing to develop and obtain regulatory approvals for its product candidates, fund operating losses, establish manufacturing, and, if deemed appropriate, sales and marketing capabilities. The Company expects that it will seek funds through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. The Company’s failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategies. If adequate funds are not available to the Company, the Company will be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, and pursue merger or acquisition strategies.

Operations of the Company are subject to other certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, uncertainty of product candidate development; technological uncertainty; dependence on collaborative partners; uncertainty regarding patents and proprietary rights; regulatory approvals and other comprehensive government regulations; having no commercial manufacturing, marketing or sales capability or experience; and dependence on key personnel. Any significant delays in the development or marketing of products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial results.

The Company sources certain critical components from single source suppliers. If the Company is required to purchase these components from an alternative source, it could adversely affect development of the Company’s product candidates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of our balances and results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Table of Contents

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K, as amended, which was initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 18, 2013.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary, Innmune Limited. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include certain amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The Company’s significant estimates include, but are not limited to, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, compensation expenses related to Common Stock, warrants and options, accrued expenses, provisions for income taxes and contingencies. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from our estimates.

Concentration of Risk

The Company is currently completely dependent on third party manufacturers for product supply. In particular, the Company relies exclusively on Ovamed GmbH (“Ovamed”) to supply it with its requirements of Trichuris suis ova (“TSO”). Ovamed is the sole supplier of this product, which it is currently producing at only one facility in Germany, where it is also producing product for others, including Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH (“Falk”). Ovamed also relies on certain other suppliers for materials and services. Also, the Company currently relies on BioReliance Corporation, Progenitor Cell Therapy LLC and other third parties for its CNDO–109 product requirements. The Company’s clinical development programs would be adversely affected by a significant interruption in obtaining clinical trial supplies.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) note payable were deferred and are being amortized over the appropriate expected life based on the term of the note using the effective interest rate method. As of March 31, 2013 the Company recorded deferred financing costs of $58,000 in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards and forfeiture rates. For stock-based compensation awards to non-employees, the Company remeasures the fair value of the non-employee awards at each reporting period prior to vesting and finally at the vesting date of the award. Changes in the estimated fair value of these non-employee awards are recognized as compensation expense in the period of change.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company’s comprehensive loss is equal to its net loss for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

3. Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company calculates loss per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for Common Stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and non-forfeitable participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to Common Stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Holders of restricted Common Stock were entitled to all cash dividends, when and if declared, and such dividends are non-forfeitable. The participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses of the Company. As a result, net losses are not allocated to the participating securities for any periods presented.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for Common Stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, Common Stock equivalents are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

A calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share follows:

The Company’s potential dilutive securities which include unvested restricted stock, stock options, and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average Common Stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.

4. Debt and Interest

Interest expense of $476,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 principally related to the $15 million term loan with Hercules Technology Growth Capital (“Hercules Note”), and included $347,000 in cash interest and $91,000 related to accretion of the debt discount. At March 31, 2013, the current portion of the Hercules Note was $3.2 million and noncurrent portion was $11.1 million, net of the debt discount of $724,000.

In 2012, we acquired from Ovamed manufacturing rights for TSO in the Coronado Territory and agreed to pay Ovamed $1.5 million in three equal installments of $500,000 commencing in December 2014 and ending in December 2016. The Company recorded this obligation at December 31, 2012 as an other long-term liability at its estimated net present value of $1.0 million, using an effective interest rate of 12.33% and is accreting the carrying amount up to the $1.5 million obligation. Accretion of the obligation was $32,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and recorded as interest expense.

7. TSO

Research Agreement

On February 22, 2013, the Company and Freie Universität Berlin (“FU Berlin”) entered into a Research Agreement (the “Research Agreement”) to, among other things, identify and evaluate secretory proteins from TSO (the “Project”). The duration of the Project is expected to be four years, during which the Company will pay FU Berlin a total maximum amount of approximately €648,000, or approximately $843,000 in research fees and FU Berlin will periodically produce written progress reports on the Project. The Research Agreement terminates on the later of the date that the last payment or report is due, subject to early termination by either party upon three months written notice for cause or without cause. If the Company terminates the Research Agreement, the Company must pay FU Berlin a termination fee comprised primarily of unpaid research fees due on the first payment date after which termination occurred (subject to adjustment), except where termination is due to a breach by FU Berlin which it fails to cure within 60 day’s notice or due to FU Berlin’s bankruptcy. As of March 31, 2013, the Company incurred sponsored research expense of $22,000 recorded in research and development expense.

On February 22, 2013, the Company and FU Berlin also entered into a Joint Ownership and Exclusive License Agreement (the “JOELA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to jointly own all intellectual property arising from the Project (the “Joint Intellectual Property”). FU Berlin also granted the Company (a) an exclusive worldwide license (including the right to sublicense) to its interest in the Joint Intellectual Property and its know-how related to the Project (the “Licensed IP”), and (b) the right to commercialize products that, without the licenses granted under the JOELA, would infringe the Licensed IP (the “Licensed Products”). FU Berlin retains the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Licensed IP for its own internal, academic purposes. Pursuant to the JOELA, the Company will pay FU Berlin a total maximum amount of €3,830,000, or approximately $4,982,000 in potential milestone payments, based primarily on the achievement of clinical development and regulatory milestones, and royalties on potential net sales of products ranging from 1.0% to 2.5%. The JOELA continues until the last-to-expire patent in any country, subject to early termination by either party without penalty if the other party breaches the JOELA and the breach is not cured within 60 days after receiving notice of the breach or if a party is in bankruptcy. The Company also has the right to terminate the JOELA after giving FU Berlin 60 days written notice of a regulatory action that affects the safety, efficacy or marketability of the Licensed Products or if the Company cannot obtain sufficient materials to conduct trials, or upon 180 days written notice for any reason.

In connection with the Research Agreement and JOELA, the Company entered into a License and Sublicense Agreement (the “LSA”) with Ovamed GmbH (“Ovamed”) on February 22, 2013, pursuant to which the Company licensed is rights to the Joint Intellectual Property and sublicensed its rights to the Licensed IP to Ovamed in all countries outside North America, South America and Japan (the “Ovamed Territory”). Pursuant to the LSA, Ovamed would pay the Company a total maximum amount of €1,025,000, or approximately $1,333,000, based primarily on the achievement of regulatory milestones, and royalties on potential net sales of products ranging from 1.0% to 2.5%, subject to adjustment, in each case equal to the comparable payments due under the JOELA. The LSA continues until the last-to-expire patent in any country in the Ovamed Territory, subject to early termination by either party upon the same terms as in the JOELA.

On February 22, 2013, Coronado, Ovamed and FU Berlin entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) to amend a Material Transfer Agreement dated May 14, 2012 by and between Ovamed and FU Berlin. The Letter Agreement provides that Ovamed will retain a 10% interest in FU Berlin’s rights to the Joint Intellectual Property in the Ovamed Territory. It also grants Ovamed certain rights if FU Berlin terminates the JOELA due to the Company’s breach, including the right to have the JOELA survive and the Company’s rights and obligations thereunder assigned to Ovamed.

8. Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows accounting guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Under the accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

 

11


Table of Contents

The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying value of the accrued Ovamed manufacturing rights license included in long-term liabilities has been recorded at its net present value, which approximates its fair value.

The estimated fair value of the Hercules Note at March 31, 2013 computed using the effective interest rate method, is $14.8 million. The effective interest rate considers the fair value of the warrant issued in connection with the loan, loan issuance costs and the deferred charge. The fair value measurement utilizes inputs that are categorized as Level 3.

9. Common Stock

At Market Issuance Sales Agreement

Pursuant to the Company’s October 2012 ATM with MLV the Company issued 1,565,101 shares of Common Stock in the three month period ended March 31, 2013 for total net proceeds of $11.8 million of which $11.1 million was received as of March 31, 2013, and $0.7 million was received on April 1, 2013. The $0.7 million received on April 1, 2013 was included in other current assets at March 31, 2013. The Company has fully utilized its $30 million ATM facility. On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 ATM with MLV whereby up to $45.0 million of shares may be issued by the Company pursuant to its Form S-3 filed in September 2012. Since March 31, 2013, the Company issued an additional 1.8 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $18.1 million under its ATM facilities.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel immunotherapy biologic agents for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. Our two principal pharmaceutical product candidates in clinical development are:

 

   

TSO, or CNDO-201, the microscopic eggs of the porcine whipworm, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, autism, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis; and

 

   

CNDO-109, a biologic that activates natural killer, or NK, cells of the immune system to seek and destroy cancer cells, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

On February 22, 2013 we and Freie Universität Berlin (“FU Berlin”) entered into a Research Agreement to, among other things identify and evaluate secretory proteins from Trichuris suis. The duration of the project is expected to be four years, during which time the Company will pay FU Berlin a total maximum amount of approximately $843,000 in research fees. We also entered into several license agreements regarding intellectual property that may result from this research. (See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In September 2012, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to which the Company may sell up to $75 million of Common Stock over the next three years. In October 2012, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, or ATM, with MLV & Co. LLC, or MLV, to issue and sell up to $30 million of Common Stock. Under the terms of the ATM we paid directly to MLV fees equal to 3% of the gross proceeds for the first $10 million of gross proceeds and 2% of the gross proceeds thereafter. From January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,565,101 shares of Common Stock for total net proceeds of $11.8 million of which $11.1 million was received as of March 31, 2013 and $0.7 million was received on April 1, 2013. The Company has fully utilized its $30 million ATM facility. On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a new $45 million At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2013 ATM”) with MLV whereby up to $45 million of shares may be issued by the Company pursuant to its Form S-3 filed in September 2012. Since March 31, 2013, the Company issued an additional 1.8 million shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of $18.1 million.

In April 2013, Dr. Bobby W. Sandage, Jr. resigned from his position as president of the Company and as a member of the board of directors. (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that are believed 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 from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

14


Table of Contents

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. We believe the following accounting policies to be most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Research and Development Expenses

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses. This process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, reviewing the terms of our license agreements, communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual cost. The majority of our service providers invoice us monthly in arrears for services performed. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in our consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. We periodically confirm the accuracy of our estimates with the service providers and make adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses as of March 31, 2013 include fees to:

 

   

Contract Research Organizations, or CROs, and other service providers in connection with clinical studies;

 

   

Investigative sites in connection with clinical studies;

 

   

Contract manufacturers in connection with production of clinical trial materials;

 

   

Vendors in connection with the preclinical development activities; and

 

   

Licensors for the achievement of milestone-related events.

We base our expenses related to clinical studies on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that conduct and manage clinical studies on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows and expense recognition. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from our estimate, we adjust the accrual accordingly. Our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in our reporting changes in estimates in any particular period. To date, our estimates have not materially differed from actual costs. Expenses related to annual license fees are accrued on a pro rata basis throughout the year.

Stock-Based Compensation

We expense stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards and considering estimated pre-vesting forfeiture rates. For stock-based compensation awards to non-employees, we re-measure the fair value of the non-employee awards at each reporting period prior to vesting and finally at the vesting date of the award. Changes in the estimated fair value of these non-employee awards are recognized as compensation expense in the period of change.

Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the use of subjective assumptions. Prior to November 17, 2011 in the absence of a public trading market for our Common Stock, we conducted periodic assessments of the valuation of our Common Stock. These valuations were performed concurrently with the achievement of significant milestones or with a significant financing. We use a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by our estimated Common Stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other subjective variables. These variables include the fair value of our Common Stock, our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends, which are estimated as follows:

 

   

Fair Value of our Common Stock. When our stock was not publicly traded, we estimated the fair value of Common Stock. Since November 17, 2011, we have utilized the public trading price of our Common Stock.

 

   

Expected Term. Due to the limited exercise history of our own stock options, we determined the expected term based on the stratification of option holder groups. Our employee options meet the criteria for the Simplified Method under SAB 107 while the expected term for our non-employees is the remaining contractual life for both options and warrants.

 

   

Volatility. As we have a very limited trading history for our Common Stock, the expected stock price volatility for our Common Stock was estimated by incorporating the first year of Coronado’s historical volatility and the average historical price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the biopharmaceutical industry similar in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. Coronado’s historical volatility is weighted with that of the peer group and that

 

15


Table of Contents
 

combined historical volatility is weighted 80% with a 20% weighting of our implied volatility, which is obtained from traded options of our stock. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until we have sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of our own Common Stock that is consistent with the expected life of our options. Should circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

 

   

Risk-free Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of United States Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.

 

   

Dividend Yield. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield of zero.

The estimate of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from our current estimates.

For the three months ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $1.5 million, and $0.9 million, respectively and $9.0 million from inception through March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $10.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, related to unvested stock options and warrants granted to employees and non-employees, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.

If any of the assumptions used in a Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.

Results of Operations

General

To date, we have not generated any revenues from operations and at March 31, 2013 we had an accumulated deficit of $93.0 million primarily as a result of research and development expenses, purchase of in-process research and development and general and administrative expenses. While we may in the future generate revenue from a variety of sources, including license fees, milestone payments, research and development payments in connection with strategic partnerships and/or product sales, our product candidates are at an early stage of development and may never be successfully developed or commercialized. Accordingly, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses from operations for the foreseeable future and there can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant or any revenues.

Research and Development Expenses

Conducting research and development is central to our business and aggregated $69.7 million for the period from inception (June 28, 2006) to March 31, 2013. Noncash, stock-based compensation expense included in research and development in for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and $5.5 million from inception to March 31, 2013. Research and development expenses consist primarily of:

 

   

employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits, and rent expense;

 

   

noncash stock-based compensation expense;

 

   

license fees and milestone payments related to in-licensed products and intellectual property;

 

   

expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, investigative sites and consultants that conduct or provide other services relating to our clinical trials and our preclinical activities;

 

   

the cost of acquiring clinical trial materials from third party manufacturers; and

 

   

costs associated with non-clinical activities, patent filings and regulatory filings.

We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities for the foreseeable future as we continue product development. Since product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later stage clinical trials, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase in the future. In addition, if our product development efforts are successful, we expect to incur substantial costs to prepare for potential commercialization of any late-stage product candidates and, in the event one or more of these product candidates receive regulatory approval, to fund the launch of the product. From inception through March 31, 2013, direct, external development costs incurred for our TSO product development program were $17.0 million, excluding $21.7 million of in-process research and development costs related to our acquisition of the asset in 2011 and the manufacturing rights in 2012. From inception through March 31, 2013, direct, external development costs incurred for our CNDO-109 product development program were $6.6 million. We also intend to fund, generally by providing product supply and/or grants, certain investigator-initiated studies evaluating TSO in a range of autoimmune disorders.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of personnel-related costs, professional fees for legal, consulting, audit and tax services, rent and other general operating expenses not otherwise included in research and development and such expenses were $18.8 million from inception through March 31, 2013. Noncash, stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, was $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and $3.5 million from inception through March 31, 2013. We anticipate general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods, reflecting continued and increasing costs associated with:

 

   

support of our expanded research and development activities; and

 

   

an expanding infrastructure and increased professional fees and other costs associated with the regulatory requirements and increased compliance associated with being a public reporting company

NM–Not meaningful

Research and development expenses increased $1.4 million, or 30%, from the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to higher costs of $2.7 million related to the Phase 2 study of TSO and $0.3 million related to the site preparation of our manufacturing facility partially offset by the $1.4 million dollar payment to Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH (“Falk”) in connection with the Collaboration Agreement, the accrual of a contractual obligation of $200,000 to Ovamed, $0.5 million for product received from Ovamed, and $0.3 million of costs related to the Phase 1 for TSO in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Additionally, external development costs related to CNDO–109 decreased $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, reflecting a $250,000 contractual payment made to UCLB in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Additionally, personnel-related costs increased $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 due in part to the research and development portion of the first market capitalization bonus of $0.1 million to three of our executive officers for achievement of specified trading volume and market capitalization of Coronado and an increase in staffing. Stock-based compensation increased $0.3 million due to an option granted to our new chief executive officer in the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in future quarters as we continue clinical development of our product candidates and provide clinical supplies or grants for investigator-initiated studies evaluating TSO in various autoimmune disorders.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 24%, from the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to a $0.2 million increase in personnel costs, due in part to the general and administrative portion of the first market capitalization bonus of $0.1 million to three of our executive officers for achievement of specified trading volume and market capitalization of Coronado. Stock-based compensation increased $0.4 million due to options grant to new our chief executive officer and the independent members of our board of directors in the three months ended March 31, 2013

Interest expense in 2013 relates to interest on the Hercules Note. The increase in interest income in 2013 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to higher cash balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have funded our operations through the sale of debt and equity securities, aggregating $104.7 million of net proceeds. At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $44.1 million. Pursuant to the ATM with MLV, the Company issued 1,565,101 shares of Common Stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 for total net proceeds of $11.8 million of which $11.1 million

was received as of March 31, 2013, and $0.7 million was received on April 1, 2013. The Company has fully utilized its $30 million ATM facility. On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a new 2013 ATM with MLV whereby up to $45 million of shares of Common Stock may be issued by the Company pursuant to its Form S-3 filed in September 2012. Since March 31, 2013, we issued 1.8 million shares for net proceeds of $18.1 million.

We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the development of our product candidates. We will require additional financing to develop, prepare regulatory filings and obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, fund operating losses, and, if deemed appropriate, establish manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of equity and debt. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months based on our current business plan. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We will seek funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us, we will be required to delay, curtail or eliminate one or more of our research and development programs.

None.

Net Operating Loss Tax Carryforwards

As of December 31, 2012, we had net federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $53.5 million to offset future federal income taxes which expire beginning in 2026 and state operating loss carryforwards of $16.8 million to offset future state taxes which expire beginning in 2030. Current federal and state tax laws include substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss and tax credits in the event of an ownership change. Even if the carryforwards are available, they may be subject to substantial annual limitations, due to ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, or IRC and similar state

provisions. At December 31, 2011 and 2012, we recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, as our management believes it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. If we determine in the future that we will be able to realize all or a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards, an adjustment to our net operating loss carryforwards would increase net income in the period in which we make such a determination.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2013, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).
