CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts.  Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue” negatives thereof or similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees.  Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties.  Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management, any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.

 

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors.  Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements.  In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.

 

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

and from inception (June 21, 2005) to April 30, 2013

 

 

 

1.Organization, Description of Business, and Basis of Accounting

 

Business Organization

Lightlake Therapeutics Inc., (formerly known as Madrona Ventures, Inc.) (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2005. On September 16, 2009, the Company changed its name to Lightlake Therapeutics Inc. The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31.

 

Development Stage Entity

The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915, Development Stage Entities.  The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.

 

2.Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred significant losses and is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary funding it could cease operations as a new enterprise. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

 

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and use of estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2012 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in the Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The results of operations for the nine month period ended April 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending July 31, 2013.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $609,901 and $20,423 at April 30, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances exceeded these insured amounts during the year.

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, for its fixed assets. Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (3 to 7 years). The company’s capitalizes all asset purchases greater than $500 having a useful life greater than one year.

 

The Company follows ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other for its intellectual property asset. Intellectual property consists of patents which are stated at their fair value acquisition cost. Amortization is calculated by the straight line method over their estimated useful lives (20 years).  

 

Long-lived assets such as property and equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in the Company’s accompanying financial statements.

 

Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants). Due to the net loss, diluted earnings (loss) per share is not reported, as it is anti-dilutive.

and from inception (June 21, 2005) to April 30, 2013

 

 

 

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share (Cont.)

 

Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net loss position at the calculation date.

 

Dilutive earnings per share have not been disclosed, as the result would be anti-dilutive. At April 30, 2013, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are approximately 105,362,484 consisting of 96,567,736 options and warrants and 8,395,604 from convertible notes payable.

 

Research and Development Costs

The Company follows ASC 730, Research and Development, and expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use. These costs also include the expensing of employee compensation and employee stock based compensation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.”  Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued.  The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.  

 

The company had stock-based compensation of $791,833, $619,166, $1,666,357 and $9,809,549 for the periods ending April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

   

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including 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; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of April 30, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.

 

The Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies to report accounting for contingencies.  Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of April 30, 2013.

 

Related Parties

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.  Related party transactions for the periods ending April 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $350,000 and $126,412, respectively and was comprised of loans to the Company.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.”  Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.  At April 30, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily share based compensation and loss on settlement of debt.

 

As of April 30, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the deferred tax asset related to the Company’s net operating loss (NOL) carry-forward is fully reserved.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements; the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, it is cross-referenced to the related footnote for additional information. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. As the objective of this accounting standard is to improve the reporting of classifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and the information is already required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements the adoption of this standard has not impacted our financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This newly issued accounting standard clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements, and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard has not impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In July, 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  This accounting standard simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  This ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. As the objective is to reduce the cost and complexity of impairment testing, adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. During the deferral, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. These ASUs are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. As these accounting standards did not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, the adoption of these standards did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). This accounting standard requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement and was issued to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In June, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). This newly issued accounting standard (1) eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity; (2) requires the consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income; and (3) requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income nor do the amendments affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. This standard was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has not had a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements other than the prescribed change in presentation.

 

In May, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). This accounting standard clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (level 3) inputs. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

4.Related Party Transactions

 

The Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer advanced funds to the Company for working capital needs in the amount of $124,786 and $136,412 as of April 30, 2013, and July 31, 2012, respectively. The amounts were non-interest bearing, unsecured, with no stated repayment terms.

 

The aforementioned officer has pledged his support to fund temporary cash requirements for continuing operations; however, there is no written commitment to this effect. The Company is dependent upon the continued support of its officers and controlling shareholders while the Company is in its development stage.

 

In December, 2012, the Company borrowed $350,000 from two of its officers and an outside director. These notes accrue interest at 6.0% per year and are due December, 2013.

 

5.Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. This method requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards that were derived solely from operating losses from prior years. These amounts can be carried forward to offset future taxable income for a period of 20 years for each tax year’s loss. These NOL carry forwards begin to expire in 2026. No provision was made for federal income taxes as the Company has significant net operating losses.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

 

   April 30, 2013   April 30, 2012 
         
Income tax expense at statutory rate  $(1,067,219)  $(4,193,040)

7.Convertible Notes Payable (Cont.)

 

The Company evaluated the terms of these notes in accordance with ASC 815 – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature met the definition of a liability and therefore, bifurcated the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company has recognized a beneficial conversion resulting from the contract, which was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. A charge to the statement of operations was made to provide for the remaining portion of the recognized derivative liability at origination. The Company has re-measured the derivative at the period end, resulting in a derivative liability in the amount of $183,564 as of April 30, 2013. The corresponding change in derivatives, from origination to period end resulted in a change and recognition of expenses (income) in the amount of $64,983, ($16,821), and $7,272 for the three and nine months and from inception through the period ended April 30, 2013, respectively.

 

The derivative valuation was calculated using the Black-Scholes Model for the conversion feature. Assumptions to the calculation were as follows:

 

Weighted Average:     
Dividend rate   0.00%
Risk-free interest rate   .08%
Expected lives (years)    0. 680  
Expected price volatility   160.0%
Forfeiture Rate   0.00%

 

Based on the fair market value and the terms of the above agreements, there is a potential conversion of approximately 8,395,600 shares of common stock, if converted.

 

8.Stockholders’ Equity

Overview

 

Lightlake Therapeutics Inc. (“Lightlake” or the “Company”) is an early stage biopharmaceutical company using its expertise in opioid antagonists to develop innovative treatments for common addictions and related disorders.  The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2005, as Madrona Ventures, Inc. and on September 16, 2009, the Company changed its name to Lightlake Therapeutics Inc.  The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31 and is a Development Stage Company.  The Company is an early stage biopharmaceutical company, currently developing a new approach for the treatment of overweight and obese patients with Binge Eating Disorder.  The Company’s strategy is to develop treatments to addictions and related disorders based on its expertise using opioid antagonists.

 

Currently, Lightlake is focused on developing a treatment for overweight and obese patients with Binge Eating Disorder, which is thought to be the most common eating disorder in the United States today, a treatment for patients with Bulimia Nervosa, which is a condition estimated to be affecting five million people in the United States at this time, and a treatment for opioid addiction that utilizes the Company’s innovative proprietary technology..

 

Product Development and Testing

 

In April 2012, Lightlake completed a Phase II clinical trial in Helsinki, Finland to investigate the use of the opioid antagonist naloxone delivered intra-nasally as a treatment for Binge Eating Disorder.  The Company’s approach was unique, through using a single agent with known safety, delivered intra-nasally, in response to behavioral stimuli, and selectively addressing a subset of obese and overweight patients which was thought to represent up to 25% of this total patient cohort.  The Company believed that its approach could deliver successful outcomes in a challenging area that recently encountered several failures.

 

Lightlake is developing a treatment for Binge Eating Disorder derived from the “Sinclair Method,” which was developed by Dr. David Sinclair original intended for the treatment of alcohol dependency.  In 1990, Dr. Sinclair discovered that the opioid antagonist naltrexone, when used correctly in the presence of drinking alcohol, resulted in a 78% success rate, with patients abstaining from alcohol or consuming it at safe levels.  In 1989, Dr. Sinclair patented his "Method for Treating Alcohol Drinking Responses,” also known as the “Sinclair Method,” and in 1994, the FDA approved the use of naltrexone as a treatment for alcohol dependency.  Since then, this form of treatment has been used by medical practices around the globe as an effective treatment for alcoholism.

 

Patients suffering from Binge Eating Disorder typically exhibit a lack of control eating foods typically high in sugar, fat, or salt, and are able to override the feeling of fullness.  When these patients eat foods with high levels of sugar, salt, or fat, the opioidergic system is activated, which causes the firing of the neurons that release endorphins.  The endorphins then bind to opioid receptors on other neurons and activate these opioid receptors, which reinforces addictive behavior.  By blocking these opioid receptors with an opioid antagonist, the effect these endorphins have each time these foods are eaten is counteracted.

 

Lightlake considers naloxone the optimal opioid antagonist to address Binge Eating Disorder as naloxone remains in the brain for two hours, which is the duration of a typical binge.  Long-lasting opioid antagonists like naltrexone and nalmefene are sufficient for treating alcoholism and drug addiction, but the short-acting opioid antagonist naloxone, however works to selectively remove only unhealthy eating responses.  Moreover, the Company believes that its treatment is well-suited for treating Binge Eating Disorder as it is unlikely to be used in a truly chronic manner.  The Company expects that patients will only administer the treatment when they have the urge to binge eat, and the Company expects that they will require less of the spray over time as they regain control of their eating habits.

In 2011, Lightlake commenced a randomized double-blind placebo controlled Phase II trial investigating the use of naloxone intra-nasally as a treatment for Binge Eating Disorder.  The Company randomly selected 138 patients meeting the criteria for Binge Eating Disorder from over 900 applicants and 127 patients enrolled in the trial.  While each patient was randomized to take either intranasal naloxone or a placebo nasal spray, all of the patients participated in an exercise program—a behavior that the Company believes can be reinforced through this approach.  Some of the patients carried the A118G, which is a genetic variant for the Mu Opioid receptor, and the Company planned to determine whether their response to treatment differed.  The Company contracted the Phase II trial operations to Lightlake Sinclair of Helsinki, Finland.

 

On August 8, 2012, Lightlake announced the final data from the Phase II trial investigating the use of naloxone intra-nasally as a treatment for Binge Eating Disorder.  Results from this study have been very encouraging, whereby patients receiving naloxone demonstrated a significant reduction over placebo in reducing bingeing.  In addition, the patients receiving the naloxone nasal spray lost weight in the second half of the study and it would appear that patients with the highest BMI tended to reduce their bingeing the most.

 

On May 23, 2013, Lightlake presented the results of the Company’s Phase II clinical trial of its nasal spray treatment for Binge Eating Disorder at the American Psychiatric Association (“APA”) Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Binge Eating Disorder has been added to the fifth edition of the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (“DSM-5”), which was launched at the APA Annual Meeting. DSM-5 is used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders in order to improve diagnoses, treatment, and research. This manual is the product of more than 10 years of effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of mental health. DSM-5 diagnostic criteria are concise and explicit, intended to facilitate an objective assessment of symptom presentations in a variety of clinical settings from inpatient to primary care. Binge Eating Disorder is defined in the DSM-5 chapter on Feeding and Eating Disorders as a diagnosis for individuals who experience persistent, recurrent episodes of overeating, marked by loss of control and significant clinical distress. The chapter also includes changes in the requirements for diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, two potential additional indications for the Company’s treatment.

 

Lightlake now aims to collaborate with other parties to progress its drug development program for Binge Eating Disorder.  The Company has identified suitable centers in the United States and has plans for Imperial College London, United Kingdom, to be a major site for the European Union.  The Company currently has agreements to collaborate with Celesio AG and Lloyds Pharmacy, and the Company plans to pursue relationships to provide funding and strategic relationships that would help the Company reach key milestones.  The Company aims to broaden its product pipeline, and anticipates commencing further trials based on its existing, as well as potential patents that relate to the use of opioid antagonists.  In particular, the Company is looking to commence Phase II trials to investigate an opioid antagonist-based treatment for Bulimia Nervosa at King’s College London, UK, as the Company is confident that it can apply the same science to develop a solution for this condition.

 

During the second quarter ended January 31, 2013, Lightlake carried out operations to utilize the patent and patent applications, including European Patent EP1681057B1 and US Patent Application 11/031,534, which were acquired on August 24, 2009 from Dr. David Sinclair.  The Company was informed on October 15, 2010, that the US Patent application was approved. The Company has successfully commenced and completed a Phase II Binge Eating Disorder trial. The Company has also planned to widen its pipeline through collaboration with Professor Strang, King’s College London, UK, to develop a treatment for overdose and develop a treatment for premenstrual syndrome overeating using the Company’s patented technology.

 

Lightlake anticipates launching Phase II trials to investigate the application of the Company’s technology as a treatment for Bulimia Nervosa, and the Company is seeking funding to facilitate the launch of these trials.  The Company has made arrangements with King’s College London, UK, to conduct these trials at the institution.  In working with King’s College, which has an internationally renowned eating disorder unit, the Company believes that it will considerably strengthen the Company’s already distinguished research and development team.  Professor Janet Treasure, head of the Eating Disorders Unit at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust and author of several well-regarded books on eating disorders, and Professor Ulrike Schmidt, a consultant psychiatrist for the Eating Disorders Service and a fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders, would serve as tremendous guides for these Phase II trials.  The Company also is considering other trials leveraging off of its patent portfolio.

 

On April 24, 2013, Lightlake announced that it had signed a collaboration agreement with the Division of Pharmacotherapies and Medical Consequences of Drug Abuse (“DPMCDA”) of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (“NIDA”), part of the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), to co-develop a treatment for opioid addiction that utilizes the Company’s innovative proprietary technology. Under the terms of the agreement, the DPMCDA of NIDA will sponsor a Phase I clinical study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of the Company’s product candidate in 14 healthy volunteer subjects. Assuming successful completion of this study, NIDA plans to file an IND for a final larger study. The goal of the collaboration is to establish a clinical development plan and regulatory pathway that will potentially result in FDA approval and commercialization of a new pharmaceutical treatment that effectively addresses the complications of opioid addiction within 18 months.

On April 16, 2013, Lightlake entered into an agreement and subsequently received funding in the amount of $600,000 for the research, development, marketing and commercialization of its aforementioned treatment for opioid addiction. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to pay the investor 6.0% of the net profit generated from the product, which net profit is calculated after the deduction of certain expenses and payments. This investment was accounted for as an equity investment and increased paid in capital.

 

Lightlake has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing.

 

Lightlake anticipates that additional funding will be required in the form of debt financing and/or equity financing from the sale of the Company’s common stock.  However, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient funding to fund its operations.

 

There has been no bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings.

 

There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

 

32
 

 

Lightlake is required to comply with all regulations, rules, and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the clinical testing and manufacturing of pharmaceutical product.

 

Lightlake is required to apply for or have any government approval for its products or services.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following compares the Company’s operations for the three and nine month period ended April 30, 2013 to the three month period ended April 30, 2012:

 

Revenues

Lightlake did not have any revenues during the three and nine month periods ending April 30, 2013 or 2012, and has generated no revenues since inception as the Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

 

33
 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were incurred by Lightlake in the amounts of $822,206, $1,301,070, $2,162,652, $10,225,711 and $25,504,044 for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period June 21, 2005 (date of inception) through April 30, 2013, respectively.  The difference in the year over year change was primarily due to stock based compensation issued during the nine month period ended April 30, 2012 ($9,809,549) as compared to the nine month period ended April 30, 2012 ($1,666,357). Given the Company’s cash constraints, the officers of the Company have agreed to have a significant portion of their cash compensation accrued and deferred in lieu of receiving payment on a regular and timely basis.

 

Research and Development

Lightlake spent $35,000, $150,000, $158,679, $506,169 and $664,848 during the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period June 21, 2005 (date of inception) through April 30, 2013, respectively.  This increase was due to amounts spent forwarding the research and development initiatives of the Company, primarily clinical trials.

 

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period June 21, 2005 (date of inception) through April 30, 2013 was $177,186, $3,000, $431,940, $6,726 and $493,329 respectively.  This increase was due to an increase in borrowings to fund the operations of Lightlake.

 

Net Loss 

The net loss for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,123,262, $1,472,673, $2,736,450 and $10,757,209 respectively.  Included in these net losses was the recognition of interest expense, derived from the issuance of convertible notes payable and the issuance of common stock for services rendered.  Additionally, Lightlake has recognized debt discounts and beneficial conversion features of the Company’s derivative debt contracts arising out of the Company’s convertible notes payable.  For the period June 21, 2005 (date of inception) through April 30, 2013 there is an accumulated loss in the amount of $26,715,253.

 

Lightlake has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue its objectives and further certain planned initiatives.  In their report on the Company’s financial statements at April 30, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company’s auditors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Lightlake’s cash reserves are not sufficient to meet its obligations for the next twelve-month period.  As a result, the Company will need to seek additional funding in the near future.  The Company currently does not have a specific plan of how it will obtain such funding; however, the Company anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of debt financing and/or equity financing from the sale of its common stock.  However, during the current quarter, the Company received a $600,000 equity investment, which increased the cash position of the Company.

 

On April 16, 2013, Lightlake entered into an agreement and subsequently received funding in the amount of $600,000 for the research, development, marketing and commercialization of its treatment for opioid addiction. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to pay the investor 6.0% of the net profit generated from the product, which net profit is calculated after the deduction of certain expenses and payments.

 

At this time, Lightlake cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to obtain sufficient funding from debt financing or the sale of its common stock to meet its obligations over the next twelve months.  The Company does not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.  The Company may also seek to obtain short-term loans from its officers and directors to meet its short-term funding needs.  The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures as of April 30, 2013.

 

Lightlake’s assets for the nine month period ended April 30, 2013 increased to $663,175 from the Company’s assets of $44,976 as of July 31, 2012.  During the nine month period ended April 30, 2013 the Company increased its cash position by securing outside funding.  The Company’s liabilities for the nine month period ended April 30, 2013 increased $604,860 to $1,189,307 from a July 31, 2012 balance of $663,694.  This increase in liabilities included a short-term loan of $350,000 from two of the Company’s officers and an outside director.  The Company also received proceeds from sale of $170,480 in convertible notes payable.

 

Lightlake’s cash position of $609,901 at April 30, 2013, although greater than the balance at July 31, 2012 of $20,423 is not sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations for the next twelve-month period.  As a result, the Company will need to seek additional funding.  The Company currently does not have a specific plan of how the Company will obtain such funding; however, the Company anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of debt financing and/or equity financing from the sale of the Company’s common stock.  At this time, the Company cannot provide investors with any assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funding to meet the Company’s obligations over the next twelve months.  The Company does not have any arrangements in place for any future financing and may seek to obtain additional short-term loans from its officers and directors to meet its short-term funding needs

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Lightlake believes that the following critical policies affect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Lightlake prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Lightlake issues restricted stock to consultants for various services and employees for compensation. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is measurable more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.

 

Lightlake issues options and warrants to consultants, directors, and officers as compensation for services.  These options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model, which focuses on the current stock price and the volatility of moves to predict the likelihood of future stock moves.  This method of valuation is typically used to accurately price stock options and warrants based on the price of the underlying stock.

 

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, Lightlake estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

 

Fair value estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of Lightlake’s notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Lightlake had no off balance sheet arrangements as of April 30, 2013 and July 31, 2012.

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4.       Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) under the Exchange Act.  Management conducted its evaluation based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of April 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses in the system of internal control.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.

 

35
 

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The material weaknesses assessed by our management were (1) we have not implemented measures that would prevent the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer from overriding the internal control system; (2) we do not have an audit committee (3) we have a lack of outside directors on the board of directors. We do not believe that these material weaknesses have resulted in deficient financial reporting because both the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer are aware of their responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and they both personally certify our financial reports.

 

Accordingly, while we have identified material weaknesses in our system of internal control over financial reporting, we believe we have taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, it will address and remediate material weaknesses through implementing various controls or changes to controls. At such time as we have additional financial resources available to us, we intend to enhance our controls and procedures. We will not be able to assess whether the steps we intend to take will fully remedy the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we have fully implemented them and sufficient time passes in order to evaluate their effectiveness.

  

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.  Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the nine months ended April 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2.       Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Common Stock

 

On February 21, 2013, Lightlake issued 2,000,000 shares in exchange for services rendered.  The shares issued in this transaction were valued at market and amounted to $120,000.

 

On March 14, 2013, Lightlake issued 750,000 shares in exchange for services rendered.  The shares issued in this transaction were valued at market and amounted to $37,500.

 

On March 25, 2013, Lightlake sold 666,667 shares of common stock through a private placement at $0.06 per share.  The proceeds from the sale of these shares amounted to $40,000.

 

On March 29, 2013, Lightlake sold 250,000 shares of common stock through a private placement at $0.06 per share.  The proceeds from the sale of these shares amounted to $15,000.

  

On April 16, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement and subsequently received funding in the amount of $600,000 for the research, development, marketing and commercialization of a product relating to a treatment for opioid addiction. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to pay the investor 6.0% of the net profit generated from the product in perpetuity. Net profit is defined as the pre-tax profit generated from the product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection with the product, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead. If the product is not introduced to the market and not approved for marketing within 24 months the investor will have a sixty day option to receive 7,500,000 shares of common stock in lieu of the 6.0% interest in the product.

 

The aforementioned shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These shares of Lightlake’s common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) since the issuance shares by the Company did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which the Company sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since the investor agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.

 

Options

 

On November 26, 2012, Lightlake issued 3,500,000 stock options to its Chief Financial Officer to purchase its common stock at $0.12 per share in exchange for services rendered.  These are ten year options and expire in 2022 and 2023.

 

On December 31, 2012, Lightlake issued a total of 5,000,000 stock options to its executive officers to purchase its common stock at $0.12 per share in exchange for services rendered.  These are ten year options and expire in 2022.

 

On December 31, 2012, Lightlake issued a total of 24,500,000 stock options to its executive officers and a director to purchase its common stock at $0.15 per share in exchange for services rendered.  These are five year options and expire in 2017.   These options may only be exercised between the following dates: (i) the earliest date on which the price per share has traded at or above $0.30 for at least three trading days out of any ten consecutive trading days, and (ii) December 30, 2017.

 

On January 22, 2013, Lightlake issued 1,750,000 stock options to an advisor to purchase its common stock at $0.15 per share in exchange for services rendered.  These are five year options and expire in 2018.  These options may only be exercised between the following dates: (i) the earliest date on which the price per share has traded at or above $0.30 for at least three trading days out of any ten consecutive trading days, and (ii) January 22, 2018.
