(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
Description of the Business
KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines for patients with neglected and rare diseases, with an ancillary focus on pediatric conditions, and on executing its Responsible Pricing Model in the commercialization of the Company’s product candidates that may be approved. The Company’s lead product candidate is benznidazole for the treatment of Chagas disease, a parasitic illness that can lead to long-term heart, intestinal and neurological problems. As more fully described in Note 11, the Company acquired certain worldwide rights to benznidazole on June 30, 2016. The Company is developing one of its proprietary monoclonal antibodies, lenzilumab (formerly known as KB003), for the treatment of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and potentially for the treatment of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, both of which are rare hematologic cancers with high unmet medical need. The Company is exploring partnering another of its proprietary monoclonal antibodies, ifabotuzumab (formerly known as KB004), for the treatment of certain rare solid and hematologic cancers. With a focus on neglected, rare and orphan diseases, the Company believes that it has the opportunity to benefit from various regulatory incentives, such as orphan drug exclusivity, breakthrough therapy designation, fast track designation, accelerated approval, priority review and priority review vouchers (“PRV”), where available, that provide for certain periods of exclusivity, expedited review and/or other benefits.
The Company has undergone a significant transformation in the last year. As a result of challenges facing it at the time, on December 29, 2015, the Company filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On June 30, 2016, the Company’s Second Amended Plan of Reorganization, dated May 9, 2016, as amended (the “Plan”), became effective and the Company emerged from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Refer to Note 2 for additional details regarding the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings.
The Company was incorporated on March 15, 2000 in California and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in September 2001. All of the Company’s assets are located in California.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant losses and had an accumulated deficit of $231.0 million as of June, 2016. The Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, debt financings, interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, grants and the payments received under its agreements with Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) and Sanofi Pasteur S.A. (“Sanofi”). The Company completed its initial public offering in February 2013. To date, none of the Company’s product candidates have been approved for sale and therefore the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales. Management expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company will continue to require additional capital through equity offerings, debt financing and/or payments under new or existing licensing or collaboration agreements. If sufficient funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, the Company could be required to significantly reduce its operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its development programs. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis when needed, could materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to meet its total liabilities of $9.5 million at June 30, 2016 and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Delisting of Common Stock
On January 13, 2016, the Company’s common stock was suspended from the Nasdaq Global Market and began trading on the over-the-counter market under the ticker symbol KBIOQ. On January 26, 2016, NASDAQ filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting of the common stock, and the delisting was effective on February 5, 2016.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments necessary for the presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The December 31, 2015 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016, or for any other future annual or interim period. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the 2015 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company believes judgment is involved in determining the valuation of the financing derivative, the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals and warrant valuations. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Chapter 11 Filing
On December 29, 2015, the Company filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The filing was made in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case No. 15-12628 (LSS)).
In connection with financing efforts as part of the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings, on April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders (the “DIP Lenders”), pursuant to which the Company received $3 million in funds for working capital, bankruptcy-related costs, costs related to its plan of reorganization, payment of certain fees to the DIP Lenders and other costs associated with the ordinary course of business. Funds received under the Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate of 12% and were due and payable upon the Effective Date of the Plan, as defined below. Payment due under the Credit Agreement was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, with share amounts subject to calculation as provided in the Credit agreement.
On April 1, 2016, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with the DIP Lenders. The SPA provided for the sale of the Company’s common stock, with share amounts subject to calculation as provided in the SPA, in respect of exit financing in the amount of $11,000,000 to be received upon the Effective Date of the Plan, as defined below.
Plan of Reorganization
On May 9, 2016, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court the Plan and related amended disclosure statement pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On June 16, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan.
The Plan became effective on June 30, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) and the Company emerged from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In connection with such emergence, the Company consummated the transactions and other items described below.
· | Pursuant to the SPA and in repayment of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 9,497,515 shares of its common stock to the DIP Lenders. |
· | The Company became obligated to issue 327,608 shares of common stock to the plaintiffs in litigation related to the Company’s 2015 private financing transaction in accordance with the settlement stipulation discussed in Note 12 below. The Company recorded an obligation in stockholders’ equity to issue the related shares and recorded the related expense of approximately $1.5 million as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, 160,933 shares of common stock related to this settlement stipulation had been issued. The remaining 166,675 shares had not been issued and are therefore excluded from shares issued and outstanding. The remaining shares were issued in the third quarter. |
· | The Company reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance to the plaintiffs in class action litigation related to the events surrounding the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company recorded an obligation in stockholders’ equity to issue the related shares and recorded the related expense of approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, no shares related to this settlement stipulation had been issued and are therefore excluded from shares issued and outstanding. The shares were issued in the third quarter. |
· | The Company became obligated to issue 3,750 shares of common stock to a former director in satisfaction of claims against the Company. The Company recorded an obligation in stockholders’ equity to issue the related shares and recorded the related expense of approximately $16,000 as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, no shares related to this settlement stipulation had been issued and are therefore excluded from shares issued and outstanding. The shares were issued in the third quarter. |
· | The Company reserved for issuance shares of common stock in an amount as yet to be determined in connection with the settlement of certain other claims and interests as set forth in the Plan. As of June 30, 2016, Management does not believe the issuance of additional common stock for any such claims is probable. As such, no accrual has been made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
· | The Company issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.2 million to certain vendors in accordance with the Plan. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum and are due and payable in full, including principal and accrued interest on June 30, 2019. |
Pre-Petition Claims
On February 29, 2016, the Company filed its schedules of assets and liabilities and statement of financial affairs (the “Schedules”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order setting April 1, 2016 as the deadline for filing proofs of claim (the “Bar Date”). The Bar Date is the date by which non-government claims against the Company relating to the period prior to the commencement of the Company's Chapter 11 case must be filed if such claims are not listed in liquidated, non-contingent and undisputed amounts in the Schedules, or if the claimant disagrees with the amount, characterization or classification of its claim as reflected in the Schedules. Claims that are subject to the Bar Date and that were not filed on or prior to the Bar Date may be barred from participating in any distribution that may be made under a plan of reorganization in the Company's Chapter 11 case.
As of the Effective Date, approximately 195 proofs of claim were outstanding (including claims that were previously identified on the Schedules) totaling approximately $32 million. Prior to the Bar Date, certain investors filed a class action claim in the amount of $20 million in connection with events surrounding the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On June 16, 2016, a settlement stipulation related to the class action suit was approved under order of the Bankruptcy Court. The settlement stipulation required the Company to issue 300,000 shares of common stock and submit a payment of $250,000 to the claimants. See Note 12 for additional information on this matter and settlement. Separately, a claim was filed by certain investors in the Company’s 2015 private financing transaction totaling approximately $6.9 million. On May 9, 2016, a settlement stipulation related to this suit was approved under order of the Bankruptcy Court. The settlement stipulation required the Company to issue 327,608 shares of common stock and submit a payment of $250,000 to the claimants. See Note 12 for additional information on this matter and settlement. As of December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an obligation in Additional paid-in capital to issue the related shares totaling approximately $2.8 million and recorded the cash liability of $500,000 in Liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Excluding these stipulated claims, all other proofs of claim amount to approximately $5.1 million. As of December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $4.5 million, which represents its estimate of the amount expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, in Liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company also had liabilities related to accrued compensation and deferred rent, totaling approximately $0.4 million, included in Liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of December 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has emerged from bankruptcy. The Company expects the amounts remaining in Liabilities subject to compromise as of the Effective Date to be paid in accordance with the Plan. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2016, Liabilities subject to compromise have been reduced to zero and reclassified according to their payment terms.
In March 2016, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the “Lease Termination Agreement”) related to the lease of its prior facility in South San Francisco, California. The Lease Termination Agreement, approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court issued March 15, 2016, waived all damages related to early termination of the lease, relieved the Company of March rental expenses and set an effective termination date of March 31, 2016. In accordance with the termination of the lease, the Company wrote off remaining deferred rent liabilities of approximately $312,000 and disposed of certain leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures with a net book value of approximately $85,000. The resulting gain of $227,000 is included in Reorganization items, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Concurrent with the termination of its prior lease, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new office facility in Brisbane, California. The new lease commenced in April 2016 and will expire in March 2017.
The reconciliation of certain proofs of claim filed against the Company in the Bankruptcy Case, including certain General Unsecured Claims and Other Subordinated Claims, is ongoing. As a result of its examination of the claims, the Company may ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow, reduce, reclassify or otherwise adjudicate certain claims the Company believes are subject to objection or otherwise improper. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company has until December 27, 2016 to file additional objections to disputed claims, subject to this deadline’s extension by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company may compromise certain claims with or without specific prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court and may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. The resolution of such claims could result in material adjustments to the Company’s financial statements. Other than with respect to certain matters relating to the implementation of the Plan or over which the Bankruptcy Court may have retained jurisdiction, the Company is no longer operating under the direct supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. Nevertheless, the Bankruptcy Case remains open. The Company anticipates that the Bankruptcy Case will be closed following the completion of the claims reconciliation process.
As of June 30, 2016, approximately $1.3 million in claims remain subject to review by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company intends to file objections to these claims. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has recorded $260,000 and $125,000 related to these claims in Accounts payable and Notes payable to vendors, respectively, which represents management’s best estimate of claims to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.
Bankruptcy Related Financing Arrangements
On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Black Horse Capital Master Fund Ltd., as administrative agent and lender (“BHCMF” or “Agent”), Black Horse Capital LP, as a lender (“BHC”), Cheval Holdings, Ltd., as a lender (“Cheval”) and Nomis Bay LTD, as a lender (“Nomis” and, together with BHCMF, BHC and Cheval, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provided for a debtor-in-possession credit facility in the original principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement provided that the Term Loan will be made by the Lenders at an original discount equal to $191,000 (the “Upfront Fee”) and required the payment by the Company to the Lenders of a commitment fee equal to $150,000 (the “Commitment Fee”). In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company used the proceeds of the Term Loan for working capital, bankruptcy-related costs, costs related to the Company’s plan of reorganization, the payment of certain fees and expenses owed to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Credit Agreement and other costs incurred in the ordinary course of business.
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan bore interest at a rate per annum equal to 12.00%.
In accordance with the bidding procedures order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Term Loan and the SPA were together subject to competing, higher and better offers.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement were secured pursuant to an Intellectual Property Security Agreement.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company executed in favor of the Agent an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2016 (the “IP Security Agreement”). Under the terms of the IP Security Agreement, the Company pledged all of its intellectual property to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as collateral for its obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provided that the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the Upfront Fee, plus the Commitment Fee and all other non-contingent obligations would mature on the earlier of an event of default under the Credit Agreement or the effective date of the Company’s plan of reorganization. The Maturity Date was deemed to occur simultaneously with the Effective Date and, accordingly, on June 30, 2016, 2,350,480 shares of common stock were issued to the Lenders in repayment of the Company’s debt obligations under the Credit Agreement, including 201,436 shares to BHC, 470,096 shares to BHCMF, 503,708 shares to Cheval, 940,192 shares to Nomis and 235,048 shares to Cortleigh Limited (“Cortleigh”). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company also paid $406,285 to BHC in payment of its fees and expenses and $285,000 to Nomis in payment of its fees and expenses.
The Company records discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction exceeding the effective conversion price embedded in the note. The Company evaluated the Credit Agreement for beneficial conversion features and calculated a value of approximately $484,000, all of which was expensed as of the Effective Date.
In conjunction with the Credit Agreement, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred the following expenses which have been charged to Reorganization items, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss :

On April 1, 2016, the Company also entered into the SPA with the Lenders. The SPA provides for the sale to the Lenders on the closing date of an aggregate of 5,885,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the SPA, in respect of exit financing in the amount of $11,000,000 (the “Exit Financing”) plus an exit financing commitment fee of $770,000 payable by the Company to the Lenders, plus payment to the Lenders of their fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Exit Financing and the SPA. Nomis subsequently assigned twenty percent (20%) of its interest in the shares of common stock to be purchased by Nomis under the SPA and the Credit Agreement to Cortleigh (collectively with the Lenders, the “Purchasers”).
The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SPA were contingent on, among other things, the funding of the Term Loan, the approval of the Bankruptcy Court of the Company’s plan of reorganization, and the simultaneous closing of the Company’s transaction with Savant. In addition, the closing of the transactions under the SPA were contingent upon the board of directors of the Company, upon the effectiveness of the confirmed plan of reorganization, consisting of (i) one director to be designated by Nomis; (ii) one director to be jointly designated by BHC, BHCF, and Cheval; (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to be designated jointly and unanimously by the Lenders; and (iv) two independent directors to be designated jointly and unanimously by the Lenders.
The issuance of the shares contemplated by the SPA was consummated on the Effective Date, and the Company issued to the Purchasers an aggregate of 7,147,035 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000, including 612,501 shares to BHC, 1,429,407 shares to BHCMF, 1,531,610 shares to Cheval, 2,858,814 shares to Nomis and 714,703 shares to Cortleigh. Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company paid $427,383 to BHC in payment of its fees and expenses and $303,886 to Nomis in payment of its fees and expenses.
Under the terms of the SPA, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement registering the resale by the Purchasers of the shares issuable under the SPA to be declared effective by the SEC no later than December 27, 2016. The Company is obligated to keep the registration statement effective until all of the shares issued pursuant to the SPA are eligible for resale by the Purchasers without volume restrictions under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If the registration statement has not been declared effective by December 27, 2016 and any of the shares issued pursuant to the SPA are not eligible to be sold under Rule 144, then during each subsequent thirty day period (or portion thereof) until the registration statement is declared effective, the Company agrees to issue additional shares of common stock to the Purchasers in an amount equivalent to 10.0% of the shares originally purchased under the SPA that are then held by the Purchasers.
Governance Arrangements
On the Effective Date, the Company and Martin Shkreli, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, former Chairman and former controlling stockholder, entered into a Corporate Governance Agreement (the “Governance Agreement”), which provides for certain terms and conditions regarding the acquisition, disposition, holding and voting of securities of the Company by Mr. Shkreli. The Governance Agreement applies to all common stock owned by Mr. Shkreli or affiliates he controls.
Under the terms of the Governance Agreement, for 180 days following the Effective Date, Mr. Shkreli could not sell his shares of common stock at a price per share that was less than the greater of (x) $2.50 and (y) a 10% discount to the prior two week volume-weighted average price (the “Market Discount Price”). In addition, for 180 days following the 61st day after the Effective Date, the Company had a right to purchase any or all of Mr. Shkreli’s shares at a purchase price per share equal to the Market Discount Price. For a limited time, the Company also had a right of first refusal to purchase shares that Mr. Shkreli proposed to sell. Mr. Shkreli was also prohibited from transferring any shares to his affiliates or associates unless such transferee agreed to be subject to the terms of the Governance Agreement. Transfers of shares by Mr. Shkreli not made in compliance with the Governance Agreement would be null and void.
Under the terms of the Governance Agreement, Mr. Shkreli will not have any right to nominate directors to the board of directors of the Company and agreed in connection with any stockholder vote to vote his shares in proportion to the votes of the Company’s public stockholders. The Governance Agreement also prohibits Mr. Shkreli or his affiliates for a period of 24 months after the date of the Governance Agreement, from, among other things:
· | purchasing any stock or assets of the Company; |
· | participating in any proposal for any merger, tender offer or other business combination, or similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; |
· | seeking to control or influence the management, the Company’s Board or the policies of the Company; or |
· | submitting any proposal to be considered by the stockholders of the Company. |
In addition, any material transaction between Mr. Shkreli or his associates and the Company, or relating to the Governance Agreement, cannot be taken without the prior approval of the Company’s Board.
The Governance Agreement provides for a mutual release between the Company and Mr. Shkreli of all claims and liabilities existing as of the date of execution.
On August 25 and August 26, 2016, Mr. Shkreli sold all of his shares of the Company to third party investors in private transactions.
Board Changes
On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, Cameron Durrant, current Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as joint designee of BHCMF, BHC and Cheval (the "Black Horse Entities") and Nomis, continued as a director, Ronald Barliant, current member of the Board, continued as a director as the designee of the Black Horse Entities, Dale Chappell became a director as a designee of Nomis, and Timothy Morris and Ezra Friedberg became directors as joint designees of the Black Horse Entities and Nomis.
Financial Reporting in Reorganization
The Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, which is applicable to companies under bankruptcy protection, and requires amendments to the presentation of key financial statement line items. It requires that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Chapter 11 filing distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as reorganization items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be subject to a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed in the Company’s Chapter 11 case, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts as a result of the plan of reorganization or negotiations with creditors.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $5.4 million recorded as Liabilities subject to compromise. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company paid approximately $0.3 million related to Liabilities subject to compromise and wrote off approximately $0.3 million in deferred rent liabilities related to its lease termination, as discussed above, previously included in Liabilities subject to compromise. In conjunction with the Company’s exit from bankruptcy, the Company reclassified remaining Liabilities subject to compromise totaling approximately $2.8 million, $0.8 and $1.2 million to Accounts payable, Accrued expenses and Notes payable to vendors, respectively. Remaining amounts will be paid based on terms of the Plan.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, Reorganization items, net consisted of the following charges:

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.
4. Potentially Dilutive Securities
The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as the effect of including those securities would be to reduce the net loss per common share and be antidilutive. Therefore, the denominator used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same in each period presented.
The following outstanding potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per common share:

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature. Marketable securities and cash equivalents are carried at fair value.
The fair value of financial instruments reflects the amounts that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable, and the third is considered unobservable, as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs other than those included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the highest level of inputs that are reasonably available as of the measurement date. The following tables summarize the fair value of financial assets that are measured at fair value and the classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy:

In 2014, the Company recorded a financing derivative liability resulting from an embedded derivative related to the prepayment feature of its loan and security agreement with MidCap Financial SBIC LP, which was entered into by the Company in September 2012 and subsequently amended (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). At June 30, 2015, the Company re-measured the financing derivative liability as $227,000, resulting in a loss of $135,000 and $138,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. The loss is included in Other expense, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fair value of this derivative was determined using Level 3 inputs, or significant unobservable inputs. The value of the financing derivative was determined by comparing the difference between the fair value of the notes payable with and without the financing derivative by calculating the respective present values from future cash flows using a 14% discount rate, adjusted for the probability of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement. The 14% discount rate assumption was based on an effective borrowing rate under the current circumstances considering the quoted borrowing rate for the Company and the imputed fair value of any additional financial instruments that may be required to be extended to the lender in order to obtain such debt financing. The probability of the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement was based on management’s judgment. Refer to Note 7 for additional details regarding the Loan and Security Agreement.

7. Notes Payable
Loan and Security Agreement
In August 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Loan and Security Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to maintain, in a separate account with a financial institution (held in the Company’s name), an amount equal to the aggregate of the remaining future principal, interest and exit fee due under the Loan and Security Agreement, equating to $8.3 million as of the date of Amendment No. 2. Under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, MidCap Financial was permitted to draw payments from this account as they become due, and upon such draws, there would be a corresponding reduction in the amount owed to MidCap Financial by the Company. MidCap Financial had exclusive control to withdraw funds from that account at any time. The account was to be maintained either until the debt has been repaid in full, or until MidCap Financial determined that the Company has satisfied certain capital requirements related to the Company’s future operating plans.
In November 2015, the Company elected to exercise its prepayment right to repay the loan in full and paid MidCap Financial $6.6 million in full settlement of the remaining outstanding principal balance, accrued interest, the exit fee and a reduced prepayment fee of 1%. The prepayment resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $61,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Notes Payable to Vendors
On June 30, 2016, the Company issued promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.2 million to certain claimants in accordance with the Plan. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum and are due and payable in full, including principal and accrued interest on June 30, 2019.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of June 30, 2016, there were no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations from those set forth in the 2015 Annual Report.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
The Company has certain agreements with service providers with which it does business that contain indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Company typically agrees to indemnify the party against certain types of third-party claims. The Company accrues for known indemnification issues when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company would also accrue for estimated incurred but unidentified indemnification issues based on historical activity. As the Company has not incurred any indemnification losses to date, there were no accruals for or expenses related to indemnification issues for any period presented.
9. Share Based Compensation
2012 Equity Incentive Plan
Under the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant shares, stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance cash awards and/or options to employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers. For options, the per share exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of a Company common share on the date of grant. Awards generally vest and become exercisable over three to four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable as they vest following the date of grant.

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provided eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through periodic payroll deductions, based on a six-month look-back period, at a price equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at either the beginning of the offering period, or the fair market value on the purchase date. The ESPP was structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 and a qualified pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and was not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. There were 21,058 shares initially authorized for issuance under the plan, and the first offering period commenced on June 1, 2014 and ended on October 31, 2014. The second offering period commenced on November 1, 2014 and ended on April 30, 2015. There were 583 and 375 shares issued under the plan on October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2015, respectively. Under the terms of the ESPP, offerings subsequent to the second offering were to commence on May 1 and November 1 and end on April 30 and October 31 each year. On March 3, 2016, the ESPP was terminated.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $48,000 relating to the fair value of stock options that were modified due to restructuring activities, and classified them as General and administrative expenses. Further, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $389,000 and $463,000 relating to the fair value of stock options that were modified due to executive retirement and restructuring activities, and classified $468,000 and $384,000 as General and administrative expenses and Research and development expenses, respectively.
On May 24, 2016, the board of directors approved a one-time equity award (the “Equity Award”) to each of Cameron Durrant, Ronald Barliant and David Moradi. On June 30, 2016, in accordance with the Plan, the Company issued an aggregate of 323,155 shares of common stock under the Equity Award. The Company recorded a charge of $1.4 million representing the fair value of the shares issued and classified $0.7 million and $0.7 million as Reorganization items, net and General and administrative expenses, respectively.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had $21,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to outstanding stock options that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3 years.
10. Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily consist of severance and other post-termination benefit costs resulting from the cost reduction program implemented by the Company in January 2015. These activities primarily consisted of 20% reduction of the Company’s workforce. Restructuring charges incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2015 primarily relate to a board-approved restructuring plan announced in November 2015 to reduce costs and extend the cash runway in order to allow the Company to evaluate strategic alternatives. As part of the restructuring plan, the Company elected to exercise its right to prepay the Loan and Security Agreement and paid MidCap Financial $6.6 million in full settlement of the remaining outstanding principal balance, accrued interest, the exit fee and a reduced prepayment fee of 1%. In addition, the Company undertook a reduction in force that eliminated the positions of 17 employees or more than 60% of the Company’s workforce.
Per ASC 420-10-05-1, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, include, but are not limited to, involuntary termination benefits provided to employees under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that, in substance, is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or a deferred compensation contract, and certain contract termination costs. Restructuring costs are expensed during the period in which the Company determines it will incur those costs and all requirements of accrual are met.

As disclosed in Note 9, during the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $48,000 relating to the fair value of stock options that were modified due to restructuring activities, and classified them as general and administrative expenses. Further, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $389,000 and $463,000 relating to the fair value of stock options that were modified due to executive retirement and restructuring activities, and classified $468,000 and $384,000 as General and administrative expenses and Research and development expenses, respectively.
11. Savant Arrangements
On February 29, 2016, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Savant Neglected Diseases, LLC (“Savant”). The LOI provided that the Company would acquire certain worldwide rights relating to benznidazole (the “Compound”) from Savant. Under the LOI, the Company made a non-refundable deposit to Savant of $500,000, which was credited towards the Initial Payment (as defined below), and agreed to make monthly payments to Savant equal to $87,500 for development services performed by Savant relating to the Compound.
The LOI provided that in consideration for the assets to be acquired, the Company would provide consideration to Savant, including:
· | $3,000,000 (the “Initial Payment”) payable as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Company emerging from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Bankruptcy Exit”); |
· | a five-year warrant from the date of the Bankruptcy Exit to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $2.25, exercisable for 25% of the shares immediately and exercisable for the remaining shares upon reaching certain milestones related to regulatory approval of the Compound; and |
· | certain additional payments to be further specified in the definitive agreements. |
On the Effective Date, as authorized by the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Company and Savant entered into an Agreement for the Manufacture, Development and Commercialization of Benznidazole for Human Use (the “MDC Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired certain worldwide rights relating to the Compound. The MDC Agreement consummates the transactions contemplated by the LOI.
Under the terms of the MDC Agreement, the Company acquired certain regulatory and non-intellectual property assets relating to the Compound and any product containing the Compound and an exclusive license of certain intellectual property assets related to the Compound. Savant will retain the right to use the licensed intellectual property for veterinary uses. The MDC Agreement provides that the Company and Savant will jointly conduct research and development activities with respect to the Compound, while the Company will be solely responsible for commercializing the Compound. The Company will fund the development program for the Compound and will reimburse Savant for its development program costs.
As required by the MDC Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company made payments to Savant totaling $2,687,500, consisting of the remaining portion of the Initial Payment less the deposit in the amount of $2,500,000, an initial monthly Joint Development Program Cost payment of $87,500, and reimbursement of Savant’s legal fees capped at $100,000. The MDC Agreement provides for milestone payments, including payments related to U.S. and foreign regulatory submissions of up to $21 million and certain other contingent payments. Additionally, the Company will pay Savant royalties on any net sales of the Compound, which royalty would increase if a PRV is granted subsequent to regulatory approval of the Compound. The MDC Agreement also provides that Savant is entitled to a portion of the amount the Company receives upon the sale, if any, of a PRV relating to the Compound.
In addition, on the Effective Date the Company and Savant also entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted Savant a continuing senior security interest in the assets and rights acquired by the Company pursuant to the MDC Agreement and certain future assets developed from those acquired assets.
On the Effective Date, the Company issued to Savant a five year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.25 per share, subject to adjustment. The Warrant is exercisable for 25% of the shares immediately and exercisable for the remaining shares upon reaching certain regulatory related milestones. In addition, pursuant to the MDC Agreement, the Company has granted Savant certain “piggyback” registration rights for the shares issuable under the Warrant.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505, Equity, using a fair-value approach and the provisions of ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.. The equity instruments are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and performance conditions are satisfied. The related expense is recognized as an expense over the term services are received. The Company determined the fair value of the Warrant to be approximately $670,000 and recorded expense of approximately $244,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016, which is included in Research and development expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company will continue to reevaluate the performance conditions and expected vesting of the warrants on a quarterly basis.
The Company has determined that the acquisition of the Compound should be treated as a purchase of in-process research and development. Accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $2,500,000 and $3,250,000, respectively, which includes an additional $250,000 payment made in 2015 to Savant, as Research and development expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $87,500 and $262,500, respectively, in connection with the Joint Development Program and recorded $100,000 in legal fee reimbursement as Research and development expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
12. Litigation
Bankruptcy Proceeding
The Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 29, 2015. See Note 2 for additional information related to the bankruptcy.
Securities Class Action Litigation
On December 18, 2015, a putative class action lawsuit (captioned Li v. KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., 5:15-cv-05841-EJD) was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Class Action Court”), alleging violations of the federal securities laws by Martin Shkreli, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On December 23, 2015, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Class Action Court (captioned Sciabacucchi v. KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-05992-CRB), similarly alleging violations of the federal securities laws by Mr. Shkreli. On December 31, 2015, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Class Action Court (captioned Isensee v. KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Case No. 15-cv-06331-EJD) also alleging violation of the federal securities laws by Mr. Shkreli. On April 28, 2016, the Class Action Court consolidated these cases (the “Securities Class Action Litigation”) and appointed certain plaintiffs as the lead plaintiffs. The lead plaintiffs in the Securities Class Action Litigation were seeking damages of $20.0 million on behalf of all the affected members of the class represented in the Securities Class Action Litigation, (the “Securities Class Action Members”).
On June 15, 2016, a settlement stipulation (the “Securities Class Action Settlement”), was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Subject to the approval of the Class Action Court, the Securities Class Action Settlement required us to issue 300,000 shares of common stock and submit a payment of $250,000 the Securities Class Action Members and advance insurance proceeds of $1.25 million to the Securities Class Action Members (collectively, the consideration is the “Securities Class Action Settlement Consideration”). Subject to the final approval of the Securities Class Action Settlement, any Securities Class Action Member is entitled to share in the Securities Class Action Settlement Consideration. The Securities Class Action Settlement provides for releases and related injunctions to be granted for the benefit of, among others, the Company, Ronald Martell, Herb Cross and all of the Company’s past, present and future directors, officers and employees, excluding Mr. Shkreli. Alternatively, Securities Class Action Members may exclude themselves from the Securities Class Action Settlement and are thereby not bound by the terms of the Securities Class Action Settlement nor entitled to receive any amount of the Securities Class Acton Settlement Consideration. Such individuals remain free to assert claims against the Company and such claims were subordinated to the level of the Company’s common stock and otherwise remain subject to the Company’s objection. The Company’s agreement to the Securities Class Action Settlement was not in any way an admission of the Company’s wrongdoing or liability.
PIPE Litigation
On January 7, 2016, certain investors (the “PIPE Claimants”), commenced an adversary proceeding (captioned Gregory Rea, et al. v. KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Adv. Pro. No. 16-50001 (LSS)) in the Bankruptcy Court against the Company alleging implied trust theories, breach of contract, fraud and violations of the federal securities laws in connection with the PIPE Claimants’ purchase of the Company’s common stock in the Private Placement (the “PIPE Litigation”). The PIPE Claimants also raised certain other objections to the Company’s bankruptcy proceeding. The PIPE Claimants sought an aggregate total of approximately $6.9 million in damages.
On May 9, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a settlement stipulation between the Company and the PIPE Claimants (the “Settlement Stipulation”). Under the Settlement Stipulation, in connection with the effectiveness of the Plan, and per the terms of the Settlement Stipulation, the Company became obligated to issue 327,608 shares to the PIPE Claimants and make a payment of $250,000 to the PIPE Claimants for the purpose of satisfying expenses related to the PIPE Settlement.
Claim by Marek Biestek
Marek Biestek was a director of the Company who, while not a plaintiff in the above described PIPE Litigation, filed a proof of claim alleging damages from the PIPE transaction and filed an objection to the confirmation of our Plan. To resolve his objection to the Plan, we settled with him individually by issuing him 3,750 additional shares of common stock. Mr. Biestek, as a former director of the company, was excluded from the Securities Class Action Members and therefore received nothing from the Securities Class Action Litigation.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company recorded an obligation in stockholders’ equity to issue the shares related to all of the above claims that totals approximately $2.8 million and recorded the cash liability of $500,000 in Liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
13. Subsequent Events
Stock Option Grant
On September 13, 2016, the Company issued stock options to its Chief Executive Officer to purchase 1,043,022 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.38, the closing price on the date of issuance. The options will vest and become exercisable in 12 equal quarterly installments beginning on December 13, 2016.
Amendment to 2012 Equity Incentive Plan
On September 13, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan by 3,000,000 shares and to increase the annual maximum aggregate number of shares subject to stock option awards that may be granted to any one person under the Plan from 125,000 to 1,100,000.
You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that discuss that discuss future events or expectations, projections of results of operations or financial condition, trends in our business, business prospects and strategies and other “forward-looking” information.

Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines for patients with neglected and rare diseases, with an ancillary focus on pediatric conditions, and on executing our Responsible Pricing Model in the commercialization of our products that may be approved. Our lead product candidate is benznidazole for the treatment of Chagas disease, a parasitic illness that can lead to long-term heart, intestinal and neurological problems. We are developing one of our proprietary monoclonal antibodies, lenzilumab (formerly known as KB003), for the treatment of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or CMML, and potentially for the treatment of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, or JMML, both of which are rare hematologic cancers with high unmet medical need. We are exploring development of another of our proprietary monoclonal antibodies, ifabotuzumab (formerly known as KB004), for the treatment of certain rare solid and hematologic cancers. With a focus on neglected, rare and orphan diseases, we believe we have the opportunity to benefit from various regulatory incentives, such as orphan drug exclusivity, breakthrough therapy designation, fast track designation, accelerated approval, priority review and priority review vouchers, or PRVs, where available, that provide for certain periods of exclusivity, expedited review and/or other benefits.
Upon approval of any of our products, we intend to apply our Responsible Pricing Model, which focuses on affordability for patients and payers, transparency for all stakeholders, and delivery of a reasonable return in recognition of the risks we are taking in our development efforts.
Benznidazole is an oral small molecule antiprotozoal for the treatment of Chagas disease, which is also known as American trypanosomiasis. Benznidazole has undergone numerous clinical trials and studies that show efficacy against Chagas disease and we believe is the current preferred treatment for Chagas disease in the countries where it is approved. No treatments for Chagas disease are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use in the United States. We recently acquired certain worldwide rights relating to benznidazole for human use from Savant Neglected Diseases, LLC, or Savant, and we are focused on the development necessary to seek and obtain FDA approval of benznidazole. We believe benznidazole as a treatment for Chagas disease could qualify for priority review and potentially other FDA regulatory incentives, and to receive a PRV if FDA approves the drug for marketing.
Lenzilumab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, or mAb, that neutralizes soluble granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or GM-CSF, a critical cytokine for the growth of certain hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Consistent with our strategic focus on neglected and rare diseases, in July 2016, we initiated dosing in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with CMML to identify the maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, or recommended Phase 2 dose of lenzilumab and to assess lenzilumab’s safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity.
Ifabotuzumab is an anti-EphA3 mAb that has the potential to offer a novel approach to treating both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. EphA3 is aberrantly expressed on the tumor cell surface of certain cancers. We have completed the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in ifabotuzumab in multiple hematologic malignancies and are evaluating whether to conduct further studies of ifabotuzumab in rare solid tumors such as glioblastoma, other brain cancers in children and rare hematologic cancer indications. We also have an additional drug candidate, KB001-A, a recombinant, PEGylated, anti‑Pseudomonas PcrV high‑affinity Fab antibody that we are no longer developing, but which is being considered for partnering or out-licensing.
Lenzilumab, ifabotuzumab and KB001-A were each developed with our proprietary, patent-protected Humaneered® technology, which consists of methods for converting antibodies (typically murine) into engineered, high-affinity antibodies designed for human therapeutic use, typically for chronic conditions.
Our strategy also involves identifying, acquiring, developing and supporting the commercialization of additional treatments for neglected and rare diseases. We believe the treatment of neglected and rare diseases represents an opportunity to enter underserved patient populations and serve specialty markets. We also believe our focus on neglected and rare diseases provides us the opportunity to benefit from various regulatory incentives referenced above. The potential opportunities afforded by these regulatory programs provide an important incentive to support our efforts to develop medicines for patients with neglected and rare diseases and to apply our Responsible Pricing Model for any of our approved products.
We have incurred significant losses and had an accumulated deficit of $231.0 million as of June 30, 2016. We expect to continue to incur net losses as we develop our drug candidates, expand clinical trials for our drug candidates currently in clinical development, expand our development activities and seek regulatory approvals. Significant capital is required to continue to develop and to launch a product and many expenses are incurred before revenue is received, if any. We are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will receive revenue or become profitable, if at all.
We will require substantial additional capital to support our business efforts, including obtaining regulatory approvals for benznidazole or other product candidates, clinical trials and other studies, and, if approved, the commercialization of our product candidates. We anticipate that in the future we will seek additional financing from a number of sources, including, but not limited to, the sale of equity or debt securities, strategic collaborations, and licensing of our product candidates. Additional funding may not be available to us on a timely basis or at acceptable terms, if at all. Our ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, would materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our development programs. We may also be required to sell or license to others our technologies, product candidates, or development programs that we would have preferred to develop and commercialize ourselves and on less than favorable terms, if at all.
On January 13, 2016, our common stock was suspended from the Nasdaq Global Market and began trading on the over-the-counter market under the ticker symbol KBIOQ. On January 26, 2016, NASDAQ filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting of our common stock, and the delisting was effective on February 5, 2016.
If management is unsuccessful in efforts to raise additional capital, based on our current levels of operating expenses, our current capital is not expected to be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to meet our liabilities and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
As a result of challenges facing us at the time, on December 29, 2015, we filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On June 30, 2016, our Second Amended Plan of Reorganization, dated May 9, 2016, as amended, or the Plan, became effective and we emerged from our Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. For further information on our bankruptcy and emergence from bankruptcy, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is 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 our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Our management believes judgment is involved in determining revenue recognition, valuation of financing derivative, the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals and warrant valuations. Our management evaluates estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. If our assumptions change, we may need to revise our estimates, or take other corrective actions, either of which may also have a material adverse effect on our statements of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. Emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
There were no significant and material changes in our critical accounting policies and use of estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 001-35798), filed with the SEC on September 1, 2016.
Results of Operations
General
We have not generated net income from operations, except for the year ended December 31, 2007 during which we recognized a one-time license payment from Novartis. At June 30, 2016 we had an accumulated deficit of $231.0 million primarily as a result of 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, and research and development payments in connection with strategic partnerships, our product candidates may never be successfully developed or commercialized and we may therefore never realize revenue from any product sales, particularly because most of our product candidates are at an early stage of development. 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 revenue or profits.
Our operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to our status as a debtor in possession and other matters in connection with our Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, in addition to our efforts to obtain certain rights related to our lead product candidate benznidazole. Accordingly, comparisons of our operations and results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 to our operations and results in the prior year periods may only provide a limited benefit, and similarly should not be relied on as an indicator of our future operations or results.
Research and Development Expenses
Conducting research and development is central to our business model. We expense both internal and external research and development costs as incurred. We track external research and development costs incurred by project for each of our clinical programs. We began tracking our external costs by project beginning January 1, 2008, and we have continued to refine our systems and our methodology in tracking external research and development costs. Our external research and development costs consist primarily of:
· | expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, investigative sites, and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our preclinical activities; |
· | the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial and other materials; and |
· | other costs associated with development activities, including additional studies. |
Other research and development costs consist primarily of internal research and development costs such as salaries and related fringe benefit costs for our employees (such as workers compensation and health insurance premiums), stock‑based compensation charges, travel costs, lab supplies, overhead expenses such as rent and utilities, and external costs not allocated to one of our clinical programs. Internal research and development costs generally benefit multiple projects and are not separately tracked per project.
The following table shows our total research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the period from January1, 2008 to June 30, 2016:

Research and development expenses increased $1.0 million, from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is due to the amounts paid to Savant for certain rights related to benznidazole, as well as the fair value of the warrant issued to Savant, all of which has been expensed as research and development expense. These charges are partially offset by reductions in other spending due to the suspension of essentially all development projects until after our emergence from bankruptcy on June 30, 2016.
General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to the expense recorded related to the fair value of common stock issued to our CEO and two directors of $0.7 million, offset by a reduction in employee expenses related to the restructuring activities that took place primarily in the last quarter of 2015 resulting in a decrease of approximately 70% of our workforce.
Reorganization items, net, were $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to none for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Reorganization items, net relate to amounts incurred during the quarter related to the bankruptcy plan, including legal fees of $2.1 million, $0.7 million in professional fees, $0.7 million related to the fair value of common shares issued to our CEO and two directors for their services in bankruptcy, $1.1 million in legal and other costs related to the debtor-in-possession financing and $0.5 million related to the beneficial conversion expense recognized in connection with the debtor-in-possession financing.
Interest expense of $0.3 million recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was related to the Loan and Security Agreement with MidCap Financial SBIC LP that was entered into by the Company in September 2012. The loan was paid off in the fourth quarter of 2015. Interest expense of $46,000 recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was related to the debtor-in-possession financing entered into on April 1, 2016.
Interest income and Other expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily consist of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, foreign currency gains and losses and realized gains and losses on the sale of investments. There was no Interest income or Other expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Research and development expenses decreased $3.2 million, from $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is due to the suspension of essentially all development projects until after our emergence from bankruptcy on June 30, 2016. The decrease is partially offset by the amounts paid to Savant for certain rights relating to benznidazole, as well as the fair value of the warrant issued to Savant, all of which has been expensed as research and development expense.
General and administrative expenses decreased $2.0 million, from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to the restructuring activities that took place primarily in the last quarter of 2015 resulting in a decrease of approximately 70% of our workforce, partially offset t by the expense recorded related to the fair value of common stock issued to our CEO and two directors of $0.7 million.
Reorganization items, net increased $7.6 million, from nil for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to the amounts incurred during the quarter related to the bankruptcy plan, including legal fees of $4.5 million, $1.0 million in professional fees, $0.7 million related to the fair value of common shares issue to our CEO and two directors for their service in bankruptcy, $1.1 million in legal and other costs related to the debtor-in-possession financing, $0.5 million related to the beneficial conversion expense recognized in connection with the debtor-in-possession financing, offset by a net gain on the termination of the South San Francisco lease of $0.2 million.
.
Interest expense of $0.5 million recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was related to the Loan and Security Agreement with MidCap Financial SBIC LP that was entered into by the Company in September 2012. The loan was paid off in the fourth quarter of 2015. Interest expense of $46,000 recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was related to the debtor-in-possession financing entered into on April 1, 2016.
Interest income and Other expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily consist of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, foreign currency gains and losses and realized gains and losses on the sale of investments. There was no Interest income or Other expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from the public offerings of our common stock, private placements of our preferred stock, debt financings, interest income earned on cash, and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, borrowings against lines of credit, and receipts from agreements with Sanofi and Novartis. At June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.9 million.
The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents for each of the periods presented below:

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.0 million and $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The primary use of cash in 2015 was to fund our operations related to the development of our product candidates in 2015 whereas the primary use of cash in 2016 was to fund our operations related to the bankruptcy plan. Cash used in operating activities of $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to our net loss of $17.4 million, adjusted for non-cash items, such as $1.6 million related to reorganization items related to the debtor-in-possession financing, $1.5 million related to the issuance of stock to our CEO and two directors, $0.2 million related to the issuance of warrants to Savant in connection with the acquisition of certain rights related to benznidazole license, $0.2 million related to a net gain on lease termination and net cash outflows of $5.3 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued expenses
.
Net cash used in operating activities of $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily related to our net loss of $15.7 million, adjusted for non-cash items, such as $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.9 million relating to the fair value of stock options that were modified due to executive retirement and restructuring activities and other non-cash items of $1.2 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily related to the reduction in restricted cash related to the termination of our office lease in South San Francisco. Net cash provided by investing activities was $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily related to proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $26.5 million, partially offset by purchases of investments of $3.7 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to the debtor-in-possession and equity bankruptcy financings. Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and consisted primarily of payments on our borrowings.
In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, we closed an $11 million financing that provided the funds required to enable our exit from Chapter 11 as well as to fund our current working capital needs. However, we will require substantial additional capital to support our business efforts, including obtaining regulatory approvals for benznidazole or other product candidates, clinical trials and other studies, and, if approved, the commercialization of our product candidates. The amount of capital we will require and the timing of our need for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:
· | the type, number, timing, progress, costs, and results of the product candidate development programs that we are pursuing or may choose to pursue in the future; |
· | the scope, progress, expansion, costs, and results of our pre-clinical and clinical trials; |
· | the timing of and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals; |
· | our ability to establish and maintain development partnering arrangements and any associated funding; |
· | the emergence of competing products or technologies and other adverse market developments; |
· | the costs of maintaining, expanding, and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities; |
· | the resources we devote to marketing, and, if approved, commercializing our product candidates; |
· | the scope, progress, expansion and costs of manufacturing our product candidates; and |
· | the costs associated with being a public company. |
We anticipate that in the future we will seek additional financing from a number of sources, including, but not limited to, the sale of equity or debt securities, strategic collaborations, and licensing of our product candidates. Additional funding may not be available to us on a timely basis or at acceptable terms, if at all. Our ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, would materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our development programs. We may also be required to sell or license to others our technologies, product candidates, or development programs that we would have preferred to develop and commercialize ourselves and on less than favorable terms, if at all.
If management is unsuccessful in efforts to raise additional capital, based on our current levels of operating expenses, our current capital is not expected to be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
On January 13, 2016, our common stock was suspended from the Nasdaq Global Market and began trading on the over-the-counter market under the ticker symbol KBIOQ. On January 26, 2016, NASDAQ filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting of our common stock, and the delisting was effective on February 5, 2016. Although our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTC Pink marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., trading is limited and an active market for our common stock may never develop in the future, which could harm our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements, such as structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
“Disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, those designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation and in light of our inability to timely file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30,2016 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussion regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO”, in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment and using the COSO criteria, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is defined as “a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies 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.”
The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses, each of which relates to our limited number of accounting and financial reporting personnel and high levels of turnover in our personnel responsible for performing activities related to our internal control over financial reporting: (i) an inability to complete our financial statement close process in a timely and accurate manner; (ii) an insufficient degree of segregation of duties amongst our accounting and financial reporting personnel; and (iii) a lack of technical competency in review and approval of financial reporting processes.
During 2016, our management intends to work to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, which could include the addition of accounting and financial reporting personnel and/or the engagement of accounting and personnel consultants on a limited-time basis until we add a sufficient number of personnel.
Despite the existence of the material weaknesses above, we believe that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in all material respects.
Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Controls
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost‑benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision‑making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost‑effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
A list of exhibits is set forth on the Exhibit Index immediately following the signature page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
