Notes to
the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
December
31, 2009 and September 30, 2009
NOTE
1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows at December 31, 2009, and for
all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's September
30, 2009 audited financial statements. The results of operations
statement for the period ended December 31, 2009 is not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern
which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing
source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating
losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate
capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order
to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things,
additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for
the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders
sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt
financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company
will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding
paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE
3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Material estimates that could change in the near term are
impairment assessments, fair value of warrants and stock issued under cashless
exercise of warrants.

Basic (Loss) per Common
Share
Basic
(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the
period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net
income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of
shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any
potentially dilutive debt or equity. Common stock equivalents outstanding as of
December 31, 2008 are not included in the computation of Basic (loss) per share
because they would be anti-dilutive.

Impairment of Intangible
Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that
could indicate carrying amounts of these patent costs may not be recoverable.
When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses
the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying
value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash
flows. The Company also analyzes the carrying value of these assets
on an annual basis. If the total of the future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment
loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the
assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation
(Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a
Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the
scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of
Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that
Subtopic and asset de-recognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may
exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended
guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in
Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the
amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be
applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The
Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect
on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.

(Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This
update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both
tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15,2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the
provisions of ASU 2009-14 to have a material effect on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue
Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update
addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors
to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a
combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US
GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation.
Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements (continued)
In
September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides
amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain
entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early
application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual
periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of
ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
In July
2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task
Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending
Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The
provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of
share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial
statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an
agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share
borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter
into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for
fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires
retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning
of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending
arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior
to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final
settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for
share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first
reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. The Company does not
expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE
4 – PATENT COSTS
Patent
costs represent the capitalized purchase price of assets acquired in the secured
party sale as part of the Company’s previously announced strategy to create a
rollup of undervalued biotechnology companies and assets. As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had purchased $800,000 worth of biotechnology
patents and other intellectual property. In these acquisitions, the
Company used approximately $300,000 in cash and issued a $500,000 convertible
debenture for the remainder of the cost.
NOTE
5 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On
March 19, 2009, the Company issued an 11% convertible note in the amount of
$500,000, due June 20, 2011. Under the note, the Company made a $51,250 and
$180,000 payment on June 2, 2009 and December 15, 2009, respectively. Quarterly
payments of $25,000 are due commencing on March 30, 2010, each of which shall be
applied first towards the satisfaction of accrued interest and then towards the
satisfaction of principal. All principal and accrued interest on the notes is
convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the
purchasers at any time at the conversion price of $0.40 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” and words of similar import, constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases, regarding the Company’s financial and business prospects. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, which are being made pursuant to the provisions of such Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such Act. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements it makes are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. For a general discussion of some of these risks in greater detail, see our “Risk Factors” in the Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A filed on January 19, 2010 (the “Form 10-K/A”) to the annual report of OHR Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the “Company”) formerly BBM Holdings, Inc. (“BBM”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
History
and Recent Events
Ohr
Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“we”,“Ohr”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a
Delaware corporation that was organized on August 4, 2009. On that date,
the predecessor firm, BBM (the successor to Prime Resource, Inc.) completed a
reincorporation merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ohr Pharmaceutical,
Inc., wherein BBM ceased to exist as a separate legal entity. The
reincorporation merger did not result in any material change in our business,
offices, facilities, assets, liabilities, obligations or net worth, or our
directors, officers or employees.
On
March 19, 2009, the Company acquired in a secured party sale all the
patents, related intellectual property, clinical data and other assets related
to AVR118 (also known now as OHR/AVR118). OHR/AVR118 is in an ongoing Phase II
trial for the treatment of cachexia. The Company also exercised its option to
acquire the new technology and early stage pharmaceutical compounds from Dr. S.
Z. Hirshman, who joined the Company as a consultant and Chief Scientific
Advisor.
The
Company acquired OHR/AVR118 and related assets in a secured party sale with
$100,000 in cash and $500,000 principal amount of 11% convertible secured
non-recourse debenture due June 20, 2011 convertible into common
stock at $0.40 per share (the “Convertible Debenture”). The Convertible
Debenture is secured by the acquired assets. The cash portion of the purchase
price was financed by short term loans from an affiliate of Orin Hirschman and
another current shareholder.
On August
19, 2009 the Company completed the acquisition of Squalamine, Trodusquemine and
related compounds from Genaera Liquidating Trust. The Company paid $200,000 in
cash for the compounds.
Products
OHR/AVR118
OHR/AVR118
is currently in a Phase 2 trial at McGill University for the treatment of
cachexia, wasting away associated with AIDS and cancer patients. OHR/AVR118 is a
novel immunomodulator with a singular chemical structure.
OHR/AVR118
is composed of two small peptides, Peptide A, that is 31 amino acids long, and
Peptide B, that is 21 amino acids long. Peptide B is unique in that the
dinucleotide, diadenosine, is covalently attached to serine at position
18
through a phosphodiester bond. OHR/AVR118 is quite stable and has a very
favorable safety profile both in animal toxicity studies and in human clinical
trials.
12
Squalamine
Squalamine
for the treatment of wet-AMD, known as EVIZONTM, is
a systemic anti-angiogenic therapy with a novel mechanism of action which avoids
the cardiovascular and ophthalmic side effects associated with intraocular
injections of anti-VEGF antibodies.
Ohr also
owns various other compounds in earlier stages of development that it will seek
to develop further.
General
At
present, the Company is a biotechnology rollup company. The OHR/AVR118 and
related assets acquired in the secured party sale and the compounds acquired
from Genaera Liquidating Trust are part of the Company’s previously announced
strategy to create a rollup of undervalued biotechnology companies and assets.
Small biotechnology companies can benefit significantly from being part of a
large diversified biotech company with many promising drugs in various stages of
clinical development.
The
Company has limited core operating expenses as part-time officers and directors
are not paid a salary with the anticipation of future compensation. The Company
also operates from limited physical facilities provided without charge by Mr.
Limpert.
The
Company will continue to incur ongoing operating losses, which are expected to
increase substantially as it funds development of the new pharmaceutical
compounds. In addition, losses will be incurred in paying ongoing reporting
expenses, including legal and accounting expenses, as necessary to maintain the
Company as a public entity, as well as costs while searching for additional
merger and acquisition candidates. No projected date for potential
revenues can be made, and the Company is undercapitalized at present to
completely develop, test and market any pharmaceutical product.
Until the
Company is able to generate significant revenue from its principal operations,
it will remain classified as a development stage company. The Company can give
no future assurance that it will be successful in such efforts or that its
limited operating funds will be adequate to continue the Company as a public
company, nor can there be any assurance of any additional funding being
available to the Company. Our independent accountants have qualified their audit
report by expressing doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going
concern.”
Liquidity
and Sources of Capital
The
liquidity of the Company is extremely limited at the present time in terms of
its ability to pay for development of the new pharmaceutical compounds and
ongoing reporting and minimal operating expenses as previously described. In
addition, not all obligations of the Company have been settled and it is
possible other financial obligations of the Company may occur.
As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $542,881, and
prepaid expenses of $21,987. We had current liabilities of
$372,585. This translates to total working capital
of $192,283 which means that our cash reserves are not adequate to
fund operations after June 30, 2010. We do not have any source of
revenues as of September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2009 and expect to rely on
additional financing.
13
The
Company has no present avenues of financing and no present agreements to obtain
interim financing. It will be necessary for the Company to seek private capital
through the sale of additional restricted stock or borrowing either from
principal shareholders or private parties. It does not appear probable that the
Company would be able to obtain financing from any commercial lending source, as
it is presently constituted.
As a
result of the foregoing, the future liquidity of the Company and funding sources
must be considered as tentative and very limited and pose a substantial risk
factor to the ongoing viability of the Company. At present, the Company has no
known or fixed means of alternative or subsequent financing. Our
independent accountants have qualified their audit report by expressing doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” See
“Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K/A.
Significant
Subsequent Events
The
Company reports the following significant events occurring after the close of
this reporting quarter ending December 31, 2009:
Between
January 1, 2010 and January 15, 2010, holders of the Company’s warrants
exercised them to purchase 2,877,778 shares of common stock at a price of $0.18
a share, and the Company issued to such holders as an inducement 2,877,778 new 5
year warrants exercisable at $0.55 a share. Such exercise generated proceeds of
approximately $518,000 in cash.
The
Company also issued 2,705,558 new 5 year warrants exercisable at $0.55 to
warrant holders who exercised their warrants in December as per the exercise
agreement.
In
accordance with ASC 855, management evaluated the subsequent events through
February 16, 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company had
no additional material subsequent events transpire.

The
Company had no net revenues from continuing operations in the three months ended
December 31, 2009. The Company’s products are in the development
stage.
The
Company also had no cost of revenue from continuing operations in the three
months ended December 31, 2009.
General
and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased from $66,442 in
the three months ended December, 31, 2008 to $158,503 in 2009 as the Company has
started development of the products that it has acquired over the prior twelve
months. Included in expenses from continuing operations during the three months
ended December 31, 2009 were professional fees of $ 48,370, and the value of
warrants granted for services of $88,562, and insurance expenses of
approximately $ 8,979.
For the
three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized net loss of
$166,755 from continuing operations compared to a loss of $66,442 for the same
period in 2008. Excluding the non cash expense for the value of warrants granted
for services and as part of the most recent round of financing, the net loss
would have been $78,194 for the three month periods ended December 31,
2009.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE RICK
Market
risk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates
and foreign exchange rates. The Company does not have any material
exposure to interest rate or exchange rate risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
The
Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer (who are the same person), do not expect that our disclosure controls
and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or
detect all errors and all fraud that could occur. A control system, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and
the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to
error or fraud will not occur or 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 simple error or
mistake. Controls can also 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 is based in part
on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls
effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration
in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer (who are the same person), is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(e). The Company recognizes the need to segregate the functions
of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company’s
management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer
(who are the same person), has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures
as of the period ended December 31, 2009 and, due to the unsegregated functions
of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that
they are currently ineffective. The Company plans to install segregated controls
if it is able to obtain additional financing needed to sustain its business
plan. See “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K/A.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in
connection with the evaluation required under paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of
the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The
Company is aware that under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
it will be required to establish a Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant independent
audit committee, appointment a CFO and develop internal financial review and
operating standards pursuant to SOX § 404.
15
ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
Our
management is not aware of any significant litigation, pending or threatened,
that would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
ITEM 2. SALES OF
UNREGISTERED SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On March
19, 2009, the Company sold an 11% convertible senior secured non-recourse
debenture, due June 20, 2011, of the Company with a face value of $500,000 in
reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506

On June
3, 2009, the Company completed a financing in which the Company sold 5,583,336
series B preferred shares with 11,166,671 warrants attached. Each share of

conversion feature where series B preferred shares can be converted into common
shares at the conversion rate of 1 to 1. Warrants included in each unit sold
have a 5 year term with a strike price of $0.18. The Company received $1,005,000
in cash in exchange for the units sold.
Between
October 29, 2009 and December 4, 2009, the Company issued a total of
236,000 warrants for services rendered to the Company. These warrants have
expiration dates ranging from 2 to 5 years and exercise prices ranging from
