iBio, Inc. - Quarter Report: 2009 September (Form 10-Q)

purchase of 250,587 shares of common stock at a price of $0.65 per share. The warrants were 100% vested upon issuance and expire on September 10, 2014. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $176,914 and accounted for them as an addition to paid-in capital.

6)          Share Based Payments

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of that award is then recognized as expense over the period during which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for that award.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of such instruments. For instruments issued during the three month period ended September 30, 2009, the risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected volatility assumption was based upon the historical volatility of the stock of comparable companies. The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term assumption was based upon expectation regarding the future exercise of these instruments.

Assumptions made in calculating the fair value of options and warrants issued during the three months ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:

On July 13, 2009, the Company issued warrants to a third party for the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.35 per share in connection with a professional service agreement. The warrants were 100% vested upon issuance and expire on July 13, 2014. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $25,600 and accounted for them as an expense within general and administrative expenses on the date of issuance with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

On August 10, 2009, the Company granted options to members of management for the purchase of 500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.66 per share. The options vest ratably on the first through fifth anniversary dates of the grant and expire on August 10, 2019. The Company estimated the fair value of the options on the grant date to be $216,000 and is recording such expense ratably over the vesting period within general and administrative expenses.

On August 10, 2009, the Company granted options to members of the Board of Directors for the purchase of 180,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.66 per share. The options vest ratably on the first, second, and third anniversary dates of the grant and expire on August 10, 2019. The Company estimated the fair value of the options on the grant date to be $77,760 and is

recording such expense ratably over the vesting period within general and administrative expenses.

A summary of the changes in options outstanding during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

		Number of Shares			Exercise Price Per Share			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)					Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 30, 2009			780,000			$0.20-$0.31			$0.21				9.6				$184,000
Granted			680,000			$0.66			$0.66				10.0				353,600
Exercised			-			-			-				-				-
Terminated			-			-			-				-				-
Outstanding and expected to vest at September 30, 2009			1,460,000			$0.20-$0.66			$0.42				9.6				$1,107,000
Options exercisable at September 30, 2009			-			-			-				-				-

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $0.43.

A summary of the changes in warrants outstanding during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Outstanding at June 30, 2009			2,345,752				$3.73
Granted			350,587				0.56
Exercised			-				-
Terminated			-				-
Outstanding and expected to vest at September 30, 2009			2,696,339				$3.32
Warrants exercisable at September 30, 2009			2,696,339				$3.32

Basic and diluted net loss per common share was determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same since the effect of including common shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the stock options and warrants described above in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

7)          Commitment

The Company and the Center for Molecular Biology of Fraunhofer USA, Inc. (“FhCMB”) have an agreement whereby FhCMB performs research and development activities on behalf of the Company. In that connection, the Company has the commitment to make payments of $1 million in November 2009, May 2010, and other subsequent dates through May 2014 for an aggregate of $10 million to FhCMB for services to further develop the Company’s proprietary technology and product candidates.

8)          Contingency

As of September 30, 2009, the Company and FhCMB disagree regarding whether a certain technical milestone has been achieved by FhCMB under a research agreement for vaccine studies which would trigger the obligation of a $250,000 payment by the Company to FhCMB as of September 30, 2009. Management of both entities are working together to resolve this disagreement. If the Company recorded this obligation during the three months ended September 30, 2009, research and development expenses and the loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 would have increased by $250,000 and accrued liabilities at September 30, 2009 would have increased by the same amount.

9)          Subsequent Events

The agreement with FhCMB described in Note 7 to these condensed financial statements provides for a payment of $1.0 million to FhCMB on November 2, 2009 for services to be rendered in the future. The Company is awaiting performance on the part of FhCMB with respect to certain deliverables previously due under the terms of the agreement before making this payment.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009, the date on which these condensed financial statements were issued. There have not been any other events subsequent to September 30, 2009 that would require additional disclosure in the condensed financial statements or that would have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial position as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, and the results of its operations or cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Item 2	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements set forth under this caption constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1 of this Report for additional factors relating to such statements. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements of the Company and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Overview

iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) is a biotechnology company focused on developing vaccines and therapeutic proteins based upon its proprietary plant-based technology. The Company’s near-term focus is to advance influenza vaccine candidates to clinical trials and to establish business arrangements for use of its technology by licensees for the development and production of products for the prevention and treatment of various infectious diseases. Vaccine candidates presently being advanced on the Company’s proprietary technology platform are applicable to newly emerging strains of H1N1 swine-like influenza and H5N1 for avian influenza.

In order to attract appropriate licensees and increase the value of the Company’s share of such intended contractual arrangements, the Company engaged the Center for Molecular Biology of Fraunhofer USA, Inc. (“FhCMB”) in 2004 to perform research and development activities to apply the platform to create our first product candidate. The Company selected a plant-based influenza vaccine for human use as the product candidate to exemplify the value of the platform. Based on research conducted by FhCMB, our proprietary technology is applicable to the production of vaccines for any strain of influenza including the newly-emerged strains of H1N1 swine-like influenza.

In connection with the research and development agreement, FhCMB agreed to use its best efforts to obtain grants from governmental and non-governmental entities to fund additional development of our proprietary plant-based technology. Consequently, in addition to the funding we have provided, FhCMB has received funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for development of an experimental vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza based upon our proprietary technology.

We expect at least one of these vaccine candidates to begin Phase 1 clinical trials during the calendar year 2010.

Current cash and working capital resources are expected to support our activities through the fall of 2010. We plan to fund our development and commercialization activities during the balance of 2010 and beyond through licensing arrangements and/or the sale of equity securities as more fully described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in the following paragraphs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash of $3,377,000 at September 30, 2009 compared to $1,039,000 at June 30, 2008. This increase of $2,338,000, or 225%, was due to proceeds of $2,807,000 from the sale of common stock net of disbursements of $259,000 and $210,000 related to operating activities and investing activities, respectively. We had working capital of $2,877,000 at September 30, 2009.

Current cash and working capital resources are expected to support our activities through the fall of 2010. This includes the commitment to make payments of $1.0 million in November 2009, May 2010, and other subsequent dates through May 2014 for an aggregate of $10 million to FhCMB for services to further develop the Company’s proprietary technology and product candidates as more fully described in Note 7 to the accompanying condensed financial statements.

We plan to fund our development and commercialization activities during the balance of 2010 and beyond through licensing arrangements and/or the sale of equity securities. We cannot be certain that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, or available at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. If we are unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to: a) Significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more product candidates; b) Seek collaborators for product candidates at an earlier stage than would otherwise be desirable and/or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; or c) Relinquish or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates, or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are critical in fully understanding and evaluating our financial statements:

a)	Valuation and recovery of intangible assets,
b)	Income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred income taxes,
c)	Contingent liabilities; and
d)	Stock-based compensation.

Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008

Sales and cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were both zero as compared to $333,000 and $136,000, respectively, for the comparable period in 2008. These decreases were attributable to the discontinuance of sales of nutritional supplements effective

April 1, 2009. Effective on that date, the Company licensed that technology and transferred all such customer relationships to a subsidiary of its former parent in consideration for a 5% royalty on future net sales.

Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $104,000 compared to $324,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease of $220,000, or 68%, was due to a decrease of $250,000 related to the absence of a milestone payment to FhCMB in 2009 comparable to one which occurred in 2008. This was offset by a net increase of $30,000 consisting primarily of expense related to the preparation of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) filing with the United States Food and Drug Administration.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $468,000 compared to $423,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase of $45,000, or 11%, was primarily due to an increase of $56,000 in financial advisory fees, an increase of $19,000 in accounting services, and a decrease of $16,000 in legal services. Such increases reflected expenses associated with the Company now being a stand-alone public entity effective with the spin-off from its former parent in August 2008, while the decrease reflected the absence of legal services associated with the spin-off in August 2008.

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $11,000 compared to $7,000 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase of $4,000, or 53%, was due to: a) The presence of $9,000 in 2009 in royalty income from a subsidiary of its former parent when there was no comparable amount in 2008 (see the discussion in the “sales and cost of goods sold” paragraph above); and b) A decrease of $5,000 in interest income reflecting the lower average balance of cash on hand during the comparable periods.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflects estimates for the minimum amounts of state income taxes due in states where we are required to file income tax returns. Our deferred tax assets resulting from our net operating losses are fully reserved in a valuation allowance account since it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized in the near future.
