PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative drug therapies to improve the lives of patients with diabetes and metabolic diseases. We apply our proprietary formulation and manufacturing capabilities to known, well-characterized molecules to create differentiated, patent-protected therapies that have the potential to significantly improve existing standards of care.

Our Pipeline

(1) AB101

Our first product candidate (“AB101”), a microsphere formulation of PEGylated human recombinant insulin, is being developed as an extended acting basal insulin intended for once-weekly subcutaneous injection, for use alone and in combination with bolus prandial insulin or oral glucose lowering therapies, to improve glycemic control in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. We believe AB101 has the potential to provide a near peak-less, slow and uniform release of basal insulin. The current standard of care in the $11 billion basal insulin market is daily or twice-a-day injections.

In the first and second quarters of calendar year end 2017, we successfully manufactured and filled vials of AB101 in our facilities in Louisville, Colorado. In June of 2017 we filed an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for AB101 with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

In July of 2017, we dosed our first patient in our Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial of AB101. The Phase 1 clinical trial is a first-in-human single ascending dose study to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AB101 in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The first study part will be sequential cohort dose ranging of AB101, while an optional second study part will compare one or more tested doses of AB101 from part 1 to active comparator Lantus^® (insulin glargine).  In addition to safety and pharmacokinetic assessments, the time-action pharmacology of AB101 (onset, peak, and end of action) will be evaluated using several measures of glycemic response, including the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique, continuous glucose monitoring, and background insulin use.

Following the completion of the first part of the study, the Company expects to review data and announce high-level results as early as the fourth quarter of calendar year 2017.

In addition, the Company plans to conduct a Phase 2 program to assess and confirm the intended dosing profile, specifically of the once-weekly dosing frequency, and for dose-ranging.  The Phase 3 registration program will comprise multiple studies to compare efficacy and safety to currently available basal insulins, in various combinations with bolus insulin and/or oral glucose lowering agents.  It will be of adequate size to meet recommended guidance for assessing chronic safety when used for Diabetes Mellitus.

(2) AB301

As a potential treatment for patients with Type 2 diabetes, AB301 is a once-weekly injectable combination of a PEGylated human glucagon-like peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) agonist and AB101, our basal insulin lead product candidate. We believe that there is a potential advantage of combining a GLP-1 agonist with basal insulin to complement glycemic control while attenuating weight gain and hypoglycemic risk. As a once-weekly injectable therapy, AB301 would be differentiated from potential competing combination therapies that require daily injections. In vitro and in vivo studies completed to date indicate that AB301 has the potential to be a well-tolerated, effective therapy for Type 2 diabetes and we are engaged in ongoing preclinical studies of AB301.

Licensing Agreement: Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitors

On August 4, 2017, we licensed from ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ActiveSite”) their oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor portfolio (“Portfolio”) targeting the treatment of diabetic macular edema (“DME”) and other plasma kallikrein-medicated diseases such as hereditary angioedema.

ActiveSite has generated proof-of-concept data for their orally-administered plasma kallikrein inhibitors in clinically-relevant animal models of macular edema, and we will leverage that data to complete IND-enabling toxicology studies and prepare for human clinical trials.

Diabetic macular edema is the main cause of vision loss in working-age adults in the U.S. and worldwide.  It results from a breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier and an increase in ‘retinal vascular permeability’ (RVP), caused by a diverse group of conditions, including diabetes.  An estimated 750,000 individuals in the U.S. and another 6 to 9 million worldwide have diabetic macular edema, and these numbers are expected to grow as the incidence of diabetes increases globally.  In the United States, current treatment approaches directly target the VEGF pathway, and are dominated by anti-VEGF agents such as ranibizumab, bevacizumab and aflibercept, which must be injected by retinal specialists on a monthly or bimonthly basis, into the eye.  The extent of therapeutic benefit received from these agents directly correlates with adherence to this administration route and regimen, which is a significant burden for both patients and their healthcare providers, leading to high rates of non-adherence to treatment regimens, and therefore sub-optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Competition

We face competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and private research organizations in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants and in the development and acquisition of technologies.

If successfully commercialized, AB101 would compete directly against Sanofi’s Lantus and Toujeo, Novo Nordisk’s Levemir and Tresiba, Eli Lilly’s Basaglar as well as any other branded or biosimilar basal insulin therapies that obtain regulatory approval in advance of AB101.

Sanofi’s Soliqua and Novo Nordisk’s Xultophy are daily injectable GLP-1 agonist and basal insulin combination therapies that have been approved by the FDA. Adocia recently announced plans to develop BioChaperone Glargine Dulaglutide and BioChaperone Liraglutide, which are GLP-1 agonist and basal insulin combination therapies consisting of insulin glargine (Lantus®) and either Eli Lilly’s Trulicty (dulaglutide) or Novo Nordisk’s Victoza (liraglutide). If we successfully develop and commercialize AB301, it would compete directly against Soliqua, Xultophy, BioChaperone Glargine Dulaglutide, BioChaperone Liraglutide and any other GLP-1 agonist and basal insulin combination therapies that obtain regulatory approval. Sanofi and Novo Nordisk are large pharmaceutical companies with substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources than AntriaBio. Further, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are very competitive and are characterized by rapid and continuous technological innovation.

There are a handful of companies developing therapies for diabetic macular edema that could pose as potential competitors to the plasma kallikrein inhibitor therapy we recently acquired from ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals. KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Ampio Pharmaceuticals and Thrombogenics are two such companies. KalVista is developing KVD001, an intravitreal plasma kallikrein inhibitor that is currently in Phase 1 development. Ampio is developing Optina, a low dose of danazol as an oral therapy for DME that is currently in Phase 2-3 development. Thrombogenics is developing THR-149, a bicyclic peptide from Bicycle Therapeutics for DME that is currently in preclinical development. If we successfully commercialize our plasma kallikrein inhibitor, the aforementioned therapies would serve as direct competitors.

We believe there are a number of additional therapies in preclinical and clinical development to treat diabetes and DME that may result in effective, commercially successful treatments, including drugs that may be in development by Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and other organizations. Each of these therapies and others may compete with AB101, AB301 and the plasma kallikrein inhibitor therapy we recently acquired from ActiveSite.

Intellectual Property

As an innovator in the development of extended release drug therapies, we are executing a patent strategy to protect technologies and inventions that are essential to our business. As part of this strategy, we will continue to build on our existing patent portfolio by filing patent applications for additional product candidates, and novel technologies, through ongoing research and development. Our patent strategy also involves relying upon trade secrets and know-how – particularly in formulation and manufacturing – in order to develop and maintain our competitive position.

Our first patent involves a single-step method for rapidly and efficiently preparing conjugates of insulin and its analogs with hydrophilic polymers, such as PEG. This method includes reacting a protein and a hydrophilic polymer in the presence of at least one organic solvent and at least one metal chelator, under near-neutral conditions. More specifically, this invention is directed to the site-specific modification of the proteins with PEG. It also provides a pharmaceutical formulation for the uniform mixture of the protein-PEG conjugate in a biodegradable polymer. This patent, which expires in April 2024, is issued in the US, Australia, India, Japan and Europe, and is pending in Canada, Brazil, China and Hong Kong.

As it relates to this invention, our lead product candidate, AB101, is comprised of a PEG molecule linked to human recombinant insulin specifically at the phenylalanine amino acid at position B1. We formulate a biodegradable microsphere that is a homogenous solid solution of PLGA and the insulin-PEG conjugate is formulated. We plan to apply this method of preparing protein-polymer conjugates, and formulating them with biodegradable polymers to future product candidates as well.

Our second patent portfolio was filed in July 2014 as a nonprovisional patent application covering novel methods and systems used to create biodegradable microparticles with superior syringeability, injectability, flowability, and uniformity. This patent is issued in the US and is pending in other jurisdictions, which expires in 2034. The methods claimed in the patent are directed towards the microsphere manufacturing technology platform that is broadly applicable to current and future products under development.

For our third patent portfolio, we filed a provisional patent application in December 2014 around novel compositions and systems used to create formulations for sustained release products that are used by themselves or in combination with other molecules. This Patent application was converted to a nonprovisional patent application in December 2015. When issued, this patent will expire in 2034.

For our fourth patent portfolio, we filed a provisional patent application in June 2015 around improved methods for site-specific amine pegylation. This patent application was converted to a nonprovisional patent application in June 2016. When issued, this patent will expire in 2035.

For our fifth patent portfolio, we filed a nonprovisional patent application in September 2017 for a new propriety emulisifier (“Emulisifier”) to be used in our manufacturing process. When issued, this patent will expire in 2037.

We continue to work towards filing additional patent applications that are directed towards both technology enhancements and product candidates.

Government Regulation

Regulation by governmental authorities in the US and other countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. All of our potential products will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, pharmaceutical therapies are subject to rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and other pre-market approval requirements by the FDA and regulatory authorities in foreign countries. Various federal, state and foreign statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of such products.

We are also subject to various federal, state, and local laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions; laboratory and manufacturing practices; the experimental use of animals; and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents, used in connection with our research, development and manufacturing.

Research and Development

We incurred approximately $12,095,000 and $9,448,000 in research and development expenses for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Employees

As of June 30, 2017, we had forty-six full-time employees as well as four contract employees, all of whom have experience with pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical product companies. None of our employees or contractors are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Delaware in 2010. We maintain executive offices located at 1450 Infinite Drive, Louisville, Colorado 80027 and our phone number is 303-222-2128. Our website is located at www.antriabio.com. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of, and is not incorporated into this document.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Investors should consider carefully the following information about these risks before deciding to purchase any of our securities. If any of the events or developments described below actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer and Investors may lose all or part of their investment. In addition, it is also possible that other risks and uncertainties that affect our business may arise or become material in the future.

Risks Related to Our Business

We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations. If we fail to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to sustain operations.

Our operations consume substantial amounts of cash and we expect that our cash used by operations will continue to increase for the next several years. As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $4.5 million in cash on hand. We will need to raise additional capital prior to the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2018 in order to sustain our operations and we estimate that we will need at least an additional $15 million in capital to cover operating expenses through December 2018. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of our drug development or research and development programs. We may be required to cease operations or seek partners for our product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. In the absence of additional capital we may also be required to relinquish, license or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available.

Our corporate objectives are dependent upon one another and to the extent that there is a delay or complication in any one objective, our ability to timely complete our other goals could be adversely impacted.

Our corporate objectives are dependent upon one another and to the extent that there is a delay, complication or failure in any one objective, our ability to complete our other goals in a timely fashion could be adversely impacted. For example, we are currently conducting a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical study of our lead product candidate, AB101, a once-weekly injectable basal insulin for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (“Study”) while concurrently expanding our pipeline and advancing additional potential drug candidates towards clinical studies. We anticipate generating results from the Study as early as fourth quarter of calendar year 2017 when we also anticipate needing to raise additional capital. We expect that potential investors will want to review the results from the Study prior to making an investment decision and in the event that the results from the Study do not meet or exceed expectations, we may not be able to raise capital and advance additional pipeline candidates or sustain operations.

Results of preclinical testing or earlier clinical studies are not necessarily predictive of future results, therefore none of the product candidates we advance into clinical studies may have favorable results in later clinical studies or receive regulatory approval.

Success in preclinical testing does not ensure that clinical studies will generate adequate data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug or biologic. For example, while we have generated promising preclinical results for AB101, there is no assurance that we will generate similar data in the Study or additional clinical studies. Even if the Study or other clinical studies for additional programs produces promising results, there is no assurance that such results will be replicated or exceeded in later clinical studies. A number of companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including those with greater resources and experience, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical studies, even after seeing promising results in earlier preclinical and clinical studies. We do not know whether the Study or any other clinical studies that we may conduct will demonstrate adequate efficacy and safety to justify the continuing advancement of a program. If later stage clinical studies do not produce favorable results, our ability to achieve regulatory approval for any of our product candidates may be adversely impacted. Even if we believe that our product candidates have performed satisfactorily in preclinical testing and clinical studies, we may still fail to obtain FDA approval for our product candidates.

We may experience delays in our clinical trials that could adversely affect our financial position.

Many factors could affect the timing of the Study and other clinical trials that we may conduct, including lack of cGMP drug product, slow patient recruitment, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, competing clinical trials and new drugs approved for the conditions we are investigating. Other companies may be conducting clinical trials or may announce plans for future trials that will be seeking patients with the same indications as those we are studying. As a result of all of these factors, our trials may take longer to enroll patients than we anticipate. Delays in patient enrollment in the trials may increase our costs and slow down our product development and approval process. Our product development costs will also increase if we need to perform more or larger clinical trials than planned. Any delays in completing our clinical trials could adversely impact our cash position and ability to support ongoing operations.

Due to our reliance on contract research organizations or other third parties to conduct clinical trials, we may not have complete control over the timing, conduct and expense of our clinical trials.

We rely primarily on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. As a result, we will have less control over the conduct of the clinical trials, the timing and completion of the trials, the required reporting of adverse events and the management of data developed through the trial than would be the case if our own staff conducted all clinical trials. Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes and difficulties in coordinating activities. Outside parties may have staffing difficulties, may undergo changes in priorities or may become financially distressed, adversely affecting their willingness or ability to conduct our trials. We may experience unexpected increased costs that are beyond our control. Problems with the timeliness or quality of the work of a contract research organization may lead us to seek to terminate the relationship and use an alternative service provider. However, making this change may be costly and may delay our trials, and contractual restrictions may make such a change difficult or impossible. Additionally, it may be impossible to find a replacement organization that can conduct our trials in an acceptable manner and at an acceptable cost.

Adverse events in our clinical trials may force us to stop development of our product candidates or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates.

Our product candidates may produce serious adverse events in patients during clinical trials. These adverse events could interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of our product candidates and could result in the FDA, or other regulatory authorities requesting additional preclinical data or denying approval of our product candidates for any or all targeted indications. An institutional review board, independent data safety monitoring board, the FDA, other regulatory authorities or the Company itself may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time. We cannot assure you that any of our product candidates will prove safe for human use.

We may not be successful in our efforts to partner AB101 or any of our programs with larger pharmaceutical companies.

Complete clinical programs through Phase 3 and beyond for drug candidates in diabetes and metabolic diseases are expensive and complex. We estimate that prior any regulatory approval of AB101 more than $300 million would be required to fund manufacturing scale up and clinical studies. As a result, we expect to partner with a larger pharmaceutical company with broader resources and experience to advance AB101 into later clinical studies. Even if the Study or additional early studies of AB101 produces compelling data supporting the advancement of the program, no assurance can be given that any of the larger pharmaceutical companies will be interested in partnering with us or that we would be able to enter into a collaboration on favorable terms. Our failure to partner AB101 could have a material and adverse impact on our ability to further develop the program or continue our overall operations.

We may not be successful in our efforts to identify, discover or formulate product pipeline candidates.

Research and development programs require substantial technical, financial and human resources to identify new product pipeline candidates. Our research and development programs may initially demonstrate success in identifying potential product pipeline candidates but subsequently fail to yield them. Through our research and development programs, if we are unable to formulate innovative long-acting therapies based on our microsphere platform technology or otherwise, our long-term business, financial position, income, expansion and outlook may be materially adversely affected.

Our competitors may develop and market drugs that are less expensive, more effective or safer than our product candidates.

The pharmaceutical market is highly competitive. If approved by regulatory agencies and subsequently commercialized, our product candidates that contain currently approved active ingredients will likely face competition from existing products on the market. In particular, if we successfully commercialize AB101, our product candidate would compete directly against Sanofi’s Toujeo and Lantus, Novo Nordisk’s Levemir and Tresiba and Eli Lilly’s Basaglar. Additionally, other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies may develop improved formulations of the same drugs that compete with drug products we are developing. It is possible that our competitors will develop and market products that are less expensive, more effective or safer than our future products or that will render our products obsolete. We expect that competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and public and private research institutions will increase. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, research and other resources than we do. We may not have the financial resources, technical and research expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to successfully compete with these competitors.

After the completion of our clinical studies, we cannot predict whether or when we will obtain regulatory approval to commercialize our product candidates and we cannot, therefore, predict the timing of any future revenue from these product candidates.

Even if we achieve positive clinical results and file for regulatory approval, we cannot commercialize any of our product candidates until the appropriate regulatory agencies have reviewed and approved the applications for such product candidates. We cannot assure that the regulatory agencies will complete their review processes in a timely manner or that we will obtain regulatory approval for any product candidate we develop. Satisfaction of regulatory requirements typically takes many years, is dependent upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. In addition, we may experience delays or rejections based upon additional government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or changes in FDA policy during the period of product development, clinical studies and FDA regulatory review.

Even if our product candidates receive regulatory approval, they may still face future development and regulatory hurdles.

Even if US regulatory approval is obtained for a particular drug candidate, the FDA may still impose significant restrictions on marketing, indicated uses and/or require potentially costly post-approval studies or post-market surveillance. For example, the label ultimately approved, if any, may include restrictions on use. Further, the FDA may require that long-term safety data may need to be obtained as a post-market requirement. Even if the FDA or a foreign regulatory agency approves a product candidate, the approval may impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses, conditions for use, labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and/or production of such product and may impose requirements for post-approval studies, including additional research and development and clinical trials. The FDA and other agencies also may impose various civil or criminal sanctions for failure to comply with regulatory requirements, including substantial monetary penalties and withdrawal of product approval.

In addition, manufacturers of drug products and their facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory authorities for compliance with current good manufacturing practices and regulations. If we or a regulatory agency discovers previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, a regulatory agency may impose restrictions on that product, the manufacturing facility or us, including requiring recall or withdrawal of the product from the market or suspension of manufacturing. If we, our product candidates or the manufacturing facilities for our product candidates fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency may:

The occurrence of any event or penalty described above may inhibit our ability to commercialize our products and generate revenue.

If any of our product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval does not achieve broad market acceptance, the revenue that we generate from its sales, if any, will be limited

The commercial success of our product candidates for which we obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies will depend upon the acceptance of these products by the medical community, including physicians, patients and payors. The degree of market acceptance of any of our approved products will depend on a number of factors, including:

If our product candidates are approved, but do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by physicians, health care payors and patients, we may not generate sufficient revenue from these products, and we may not become or remain profitable. In addition, our efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors on the benefits of our product candidates may require significant resources and may never be successful.

Our manufacturing experience is limited.

The manufacture of drugs for clinical trials and for commercial sale is subject to regulation by the FDA under cGMP regulations and by other regulators under other laws and regulations. We cannot assure you that we can successfully manufacture our products under cGMP regulations or other laws and regulations in sufficient quantities for clinical trials or for commercial sale, or in a timely or economical manner.

Our manufacturing facilities require specialized personnel and are expensive to operate and maintain. Any delay in the regulatory approval of product candidates to be manufactured in these facilities will require us to continue to operate these expensive facilities and retain specialized personnel, which may increase our losses. Construction of our manufacturing facility and original validation has been completed. Validation is an ongoing process that must be maintained to allow us to manufacture under cGMP guidelines. We cannot guarantee that the FDA or any foreign regulatory agencies will approve our other facilities or, once approved, that any of our facilities will remain in compliance with cGMP regulations.

The manufacture of pharmaceutical products is a highly complex process in which a variety of difficulties may arise from time to time. Specifically, the manufacture of microspheres consists of twelve highly engineered unit operations to produce a sterile dry powder in vial for resuspension. We may not be able to resolve any such difficulties with this process in a timely fashion, if at all. We are currently the sole manufacturer of AB101 and if anything were to interfere with our continuing manufacturing operations in our facility, it could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

If one or more of our product candidates progress to mid- to late-stage development, we may incur significant expenses in the expansion and/or construction of manufacturing facilities and increases in personnel in order to manufacture product candidates. We cannot assure you that we have the necessary funds or that we will be able to develop this manufacturing infrastructure in a timely or economical manner, or at all.

Currently, our other potential product candidates are manufactured in small quantities for use in various studies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully manufacture additional product candidates at a larger scale in a timely or economical manner, or at all. If and when any of these product candidates are ready for clinical trials, we will need to manufacture them in larger quantities. If we are unable to successfully increase our manufacturing scale or capacity, the regulatory approval of such clinical studies may be delayed.

If we fail to develop manufacturing capacity and experience, fail to manufacture our product candidates economically or on reasonable scale or volumes, or in accordance with cGMP regulations, our development programs and commercialization of any approved products will be materially adversely affected. This may result in delays in filing our IND or in commencing our clinical trials. Any such delays could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

If our product candidates do not meet safety or efficacy requirements, they will not receive regulatory approval and we will be unable to market them.

The process of drug development, regulatory review and approval typically is expensive, takes many years and the timing of any approval cannot be accurately predicted. If we fail to obtain regulatory approval for our current or future product candidates, we will be unable to market and sell such products and therefore may never be profitable.

As part of the regulatory approval process, we must conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials for each product candidate to demonstrate safety and efficacy. The number of preclinical studies and clinical trials that will be required varies depending on the product candidate, the indication being evaluated, the trial results and regulations applicable to any particular product candidate.

The results of preclinical studies and initial clinical trials of our product candidates do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy despite having progressed through initial clinical trials. We cannot assure you that the data collected from the preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates will be sufficient to support approval by FDA or a foreign regulatory authority. In addition, the continuation of a particular study after review by an independent data safety monitoring board does not necessarily indicate that our product candidate will achieve the clinical endpoint.

The FDA and other regulatory agencies can delay, limit or deny approval for many reasons, including:

Any delay in, or failure to receive or maintain, approval for any of our products could prevent us from ever generating meaningful revenues or achieving profitability.

Our product candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in drug development. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any product candidate for a target indication, we must demonstrate safety in preclinical studies and effectiveness with substantial evidence gathered in well-controlled clinical studies. With respect to approval in the US, to the satisfaction of the FDA and, with respect to approval in other countries, to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities in those countries, we must demonstrate that the product candidate is safe and effective for use for that target indication and that the manufacturing facilities, processes and controls are adequate.

Despite our efforts, our product candidates may not:

We are not permitted to market AB101 or any of our other product candidates in the US until we receive approval of a new drug application, or approval of a biologics license application, from the FDA, or in any foreign countries until we receive the requisite approval from such countries. We have not submitted a new drug application or biologics license application or received marketing approval for any of our product candidates.

Preclinical testing and clinical studies are long, expensive and uncertain processes. We may spend several years completing our testing for any particular product candidate, and failure can occur at any stage. Negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical study could also cause us or the FDA to terminate a clinical study or require that we repeat it or conduct additional clinical studies. Additionally, data obtained from a clinical study is susceptible to varying interpretations and the FDA or other regulatory authorities may interpret the results of our clinical studies less favorably than we do. The FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory agencies have substantial discretion in the approval process and may decide that our data is insufficient to support a marketing application and require additional preclinical, clinical or other studies.

Any failure or delay by our third-party suppliers on which we rely or intend to rely to provide materials necessary to develop and manufacture our drug products may delay or impair our ability to commercialize our product candidates.

We rely upon a small number of third-party suppliers for the manufacture of certain raw materials that are necessary to formulate our drug products, including AB101, for preclinical and clinical testing purposes. We intend to continue to rely on them in the future. We also expect to rely upon third parties to produce materials required for the commercial production of our product candidates if we succeed in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. If we are unable to arrange for third-party sources, or do so on commercially unreasonable terms, we may not be able to complete development of or market our product candidates.

There are a small number of suppliers for raw materials that we use to manufacture our drugs. Such suppliers may not sell these raw materials at the times we need them or on commercially reasonable terms. We do not have any control over the process or timing of the acquisition of these raw materials by our manufacturers. Moreover, we currently do not have any agreements for the commercial production of these raw materials. Although we generally do not begin a clinical study unless we believe we have a sufficient supply of a product candidate to complete the clinical study, any significant delay in the supply of raw material components needed to produce a product candidate for a clinical study due to the need to replace a third-party manufacturer could considerably delay completion of our clinical studies, product testing and potential regulatory approval of our product candidates. If we or our manufacturers are unable to purchase these raw materials after regulatory approval has been obtained for our product candidates, the commercial launch of our product candidates would be delayed or there would be a shortage in supply of such product candidates, which would impair our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our product candidates.

If we successfully commercialize any of our product candidates, we may be required to establish commercial manufacturing capabilities of larger scale. In addition, as our drug development pipeline increases and matures, we will have a greater need for clinical study and commercial manufacturing capacity. We have no experience manufacturing pharmaceutical products on a commercial scale and we may need to rely on third-party manufacturers with capacity for increased production scale to meet our projected needs for commercial manufacturing, the satisfaction of which on a timely basis may not be met.

Recently enacted and future legislation or regulatory reform of the health care system in the US and foreign jurisdictions may affect our ability to sell our products profitably.

Our ability to commercialize our future products successfully, alone or with collaborators, will depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement for the products will be available from government and health administration authorities, private health insurers and other third-party payors. The continuing efforts of the US and foreign governments, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of health care services to contain or reduce health care costs may adversely affect our ability to set fair prices for our products, generate revenues and achieve and maintain profitability.

Specifically, in both the US and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the health care system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably. In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Health Care Reform Law, a sweeping law intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain the growth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for healthcare and health insurance industries, impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms.

We will not know the full effects of the Health Care Reform Law until applicable federal and state agencies issue regulations or guidance under the new law. Although it is too early to determine the effect of the Health Care Reform Law, the new law appears likely to continue the pressure on pharmaceutical pricing, especially under the Medicare program, and also may increase our regulatory burdens and operating costs. We expect further federal and state proposals and health care reforms to continue to be proposed by legislators, which could limit the prices that can be charged for the products we develop and may limit our commercial opportunity.

Also in the US, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, also called the Medicare Modernization Act, or MMA, changed the way Medicare covers and pays for pharmaceutical products. The legislation expanded Medicare coverage for drug purchases by the elderly and introduced a new reimbursement methodology based on average sales prices for drugs. In addition, this legislation authorized Medicare Part D prescription drug plans to use formularies where they can limit the number of drugs that will be covered in any therapeutic class. As a result of this legislation and the expansion of federal coverage of drug products, we expect that there will be additional pressure to contain and reduce costs. These cost reduction initiatives and other provisions of this legislation could decrease the coverage and price that we receive for any approved products and could seriously harm our business. While the MMA applies only to drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries, private payors often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement rates, and any reduction in reimbursement that results from the MMA may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors.

The continuing efforts of government and other third-party payors to contain or reduce the costs of health care through various means may limit our commercial opportunity. It will be time-consuming and expensive for us to go through the process of seeking reimbursement from Medicare and private payors. Our products may not be considered cost-effective, and government and third-party private health insurance coverage and reimbursement may not be available to patients for any of our future products or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive and profitable basis. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by the MMA, the Health Care Reform Law, and additional prescription drug coverage legislation, by the possible effect of this legislation on amounts that private insurers will pay and by other health care reforms that may be enacted or adopted in the future. In addition, increasing emphasis on managed care in the US will continue to put pressure on the pricing of pharmaceutical products. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price that we or any potential collaborators could receive for any of our future products and could adversely affect our profitability.

In some foreign countries, including major markets in the European Union and Japan, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take up to 12 months or longer after the receipt of regulatory marketing approval for a drug product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical study that compares the cost effectiveness of our product candidates to other available therapies. Such pharmacoeconomic studies can be costly and the results uncertain. Our business could be harmed if reimbursement of our products is unavailable, limited in scope or amount or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels.

We face potential product liability exposure, and, if successful claims are brought against us, we may incur substantial liability.

The use of our product candidates in clinical studies and the sale of any products for which we obtain marketing approval expose us to the risk of product liability claims. Product liability claims might be brought against us by consumers, health care providers, pharmaceutical companies or others selling or otherwise coming into contact with our products. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we could incur substantial liabilities. In addition, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:

We currently have clinical trial insurance on AB101, our lead product candidate. This product liability insurance coverage for our clinical studies may not be sufficient to reimburse us for all expenses or losses we may suffer. Moreover, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive, and, in the future, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to liability. If and when we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we intend to expand our insurance coverage to include the sale of commercial products; however, we may be unable to obtain this product liability insurance on commercially reasonable terms. On occasion, large judgments have been awarded in class action lawsuits based on drugs that had unanticipated adverse effects. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could cause our stock price to decline and, if judgments exceed our insurance coverage, could decrease our cash and adversely affect our business.

If we use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable for damages.

Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including toxic chemical and biological materials. We could be held liable for any contamination, injury or other damages resulting from these hazardous substances. In addition, our operations produce hazardous waste products. While third parties are responsible for disposal of our hazardous waste, we could be liable under environmental laws for any required cleanup of sites at which our waste is disposed. Federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations govern the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these hazardous materials. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations at any time, or if they change, we may be subject to criminal sanctions and substantial civil liabilities, which may harm our business. Even if we continue to comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding hazardous materials, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or discharge and our resultant liability for any injuries or other damages caused by these accidents.

If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may be unable to generate any revenue.

We currently do not have dedicated staff for the sale, marketing and distribution of drug products. The cost of establishing and maintaining such a staff may exceed the cost-effectiveness of doing so. In order to market any products that may be approved by the FDA, we must build our sales, marketing, managerial and other non-technical capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services. If we are unable to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, whether independently or with third parties, we may not be able to generate product revenue and may not become profitable. We will be competing with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. Without an internal team or the support of a third party to perform marketing and sales functions, we may be unable to compete successfully against these more established companies.

Guidelines and recommendations published by various organizations may adversely affect the use of any products for which we may receive regulatory approval.

Government agencies issue regulations and guidelines directly applicable to us and to our product candidates. In addition, professional societies, practice management groups, private health or science foundations and organizations involved in various diseases from time to time publish guidelines or recommendations to the medical and patient communities. These various sorts of recommendations may relate to such matters as product usage and use of related or competing therapies. For example, organizations like the American Diabetes Association have made recommendations about therapies in the diabetes therapeutics market. Changes to these recommendations or other guidelines advocating alternative therapies could result in decreased use of any products for which we may receive regulatory approval, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report, contained herein, includes an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. For the period from March 24, 2010 to June 30, 2017, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $64,322,000. As of June 30, 2017, our total stockholder’s equity was approximately $8,528,000 and we had working capital of approximately $3,157,000. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we develop and commercialize AB101, and we must raise additional capital from external sources in order to sustain our operations. Primarily as a result of our history of losses and limited cash balances, our independent registered public accounting firm has included in their audit report an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other factors, our ability to obtain financing to continue to fund our operations. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the development of AB101 and other product candidates.

We are at an early stage of development as a company and we do not have, and may never have, any products that generate significant revenues.

We are at an early stage of development as a proprietary product specialty pharmaceutical company and we do not have any commercial products. Our existing product candidates will require extensive additional clinical evaluation, regulatory review, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before they generate any revenues. Our efforts may not lead to commercially successful products, for a number of reasons, including:

We do not expect to be able to market any of our product candidates for a number of years. If we are unable to develop, receive approval for, or successfully commercialize any of our product candidates, we will be unable to generate significant revenues. If our development programs are delayed, we may have to raise additional capital or reduce or cease our operations.

Initially, we expect to derive all of our revenues, if any, from AB101. As we cannot currently enter the market with AB101, it is uncertain whether AB101 will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on our ability to successfully commercialize and market our products. Failure of consumers to accept AB101 would significantly adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

We have never generated any revenues and may never become profitable.

Since inception, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $64,322,000 through June 30, 2017. We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the next several years as we move AB101 and other product candidates into clinical trials and continue our research and development efforts. To become profitable, we must successfully develop, manufacture and market our product candidates, either alone or in conjunction with possible collaborators. We may never have any revenues or become profitable.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.

Our operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing our company, acquiring product and technology rights and conducting preclinical studies. We have not demonstrated an ability to produce product under cGMP conditions, conduct clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize a product candidate. Consequently, any predictions about our future performance may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a history of successfully testing, developing and commercializing pharmaceutical products.

If we are unable to successfully remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

In connection with the audit of the fiscal 2017 consolidated financial statements of AntriaBio, Inc., our auditors noted a material weakness in our controls, principally as a result of not having segregated duties as our Chief Accounting Officer can initiate and complete transactions, not having measures that would prevent the Chief Accounting Officer from overriding the internal control system, and the Chief Accounting Officer is responsible for complex accounting issues without additional reviews within the Company. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have also begun evaluating and implementing additional procedures to improve the segregation of duties. We cannot assure that these or other measures will fully remediate the deficiencies or material weakness described above. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all of our existing significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, or that we will not in the future have additional significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.

Operations outside the United States may be affected by different local politics, business and cultural factors, different regulatory requirements and prohibitions between jurisdictions.

Operations outside the United States may be affected by different local business and cultural factors, different regulatory requirements and prohibitions between jurisdictions, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments; and changes in regulatory requirements for financing activities.

We are currently in the process of establishing a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Republic of Korea (South Korea).  Our operations, once established, will be subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent to the country.  Among other risks, the registrant’s operations are subject to the risks of political conditions and governmental regulations.  If there are any changes to government regulations that affect our ability to operate, we may face significant losses.

The persistently weak global economic and financial environment in many countries and increasing political and social instability may have a material adverse effect on our results.

Many of the world’s largest economies and financial institutions continue to be impacted by a weak ongoing global economic and financial environment, with some continuing to face financial difficulty, liquidity problems and limited availability of credit. It is uncertain how long these effects will last, or whether economic and financial trends will worsen or improve. Such uncertain times may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and, if circumstances worsen, our ability to raise capital at reasonable rates.

In addition, the varying effects of difficult economic times on the economies, currencies and financial markets of different countries could unpredictably impact, the conversion of our operating results into our reporting currency, the US dollar. Alternately, inflation could accelerate, which could lead to higher interest rates, which would increase our costs of raising capital.

In addition, increasing political and social instability around the world may lead to significant business disruptions or other adverse business conditions. Similarly, increased scrutiny of corporate taxes and executive pay may lead to significant business disruptions or other adverse business conditions, and may interfere with our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in South Korea.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

Our current patent positions and license portfolio may not include all patent rights needed for the full development and commercialization of our product candidates. We cannot be sure that patent rights we may need in the future will be available to license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

We typically develop our product candidates using compounds that we have acquired or in-licensed, including the original composition of matter patents and patents that claim the activities and methods for such compounds’ production and use. For example, in 2017 we in-licensed a kallikrein inhibitor portfolio from ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals and in consideration for such license, we will owe milestone payments and  royalties to ActiveSite if and when we progress product candidates through development.

As we learn more about the mechanisms of action and new methods of manufacture and use of these product candidates, we may file additional patent applications for these new inventions or we may need to ask our licensors to file them. We may also need to license additional patent rights or other rights on compounds, treatment methods or manufacturing processes because we learn that we need such rights during the continuing development of our product candidates.

Although our patents may prevent others from making, using or selling similar products, they do not ensure that we will not infringe the patent rights of third parties. We may not be aware of all patents or patent applications that may impact our ability to make, use or sell any of our product candidates or proposed product candidates. For example, because we sometimes identify the mechanism of action or molecular target of a given product candidate after identifying its composition of matter and therapeutic use, we may not be aware until the mechanism or target is further elucidated that a third party has an issued or pending patent claiming biological activities or targets that may cover our product candidate. US patent applications filed after November 29, 2000 are confidential in the US Patent and Trademark Office for the first 18 months after such applications’ earliest priority date, and patent offices in other countries often publish patent applications for the first time six months or more after filing. Furthermore, we may not be aware of published or granted conflicting patent rights. Any conflicts resulting from patent applications and patents of others could significantly reduce the coverage of our patents and limit our ability to obtain meaningful patent protection. If others obtain patents with conflicting claims, we may need to obtain licenses to these patents or to develop or obtain alternative technology.

We may not be able to obtain any licenses or other rights to patents, technology or know-how from third parties necessary to conduct our business as described in this report and such licenses, if available at all, may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to obtain such licenses could delay or prevent us from developing or commercializing our drug candidates or proposed product candidates, which would harm our business. Litigation or patent interference proceedings may be necessarily brought against third parties, as discussed below, to enforce any of our patents or other proprietary rights or to determine the scope and validity or enforceability of the proprietary rights of such third parties.

If our or our licensors’ patent positions do not adequately protect our product candidates or any future products, others could compete with us more directly, which would harm our business.

Our commercial success will depend in part on our and our licensors’ ability to obtain additional patents and protect our existing patent positions, particularly those patents for which we have secured exclusive rights, as well as our ability to maintain adequate protection of other intellectual property for our technologies, product candidates and any future products in the US and other countries. If we or our licensors do not adequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies and erode or negate any competitive advantage we may have, which could materially harm our business, negatively affect our position in the marketplace, limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates and delay or render impossible our achievement of profitability. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the US, and we may encounter significant problems in protecting our proprietary rights in these countries.

The patent positions of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including our own patent position, involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, validity and enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. We and our licensors will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our proprietary technologies, product candidates and any future products are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets.

The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain, and we cannot ensure that:

We may be unable to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

We rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary know-how and technological advances, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers and other advisors to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information. Costly and time consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights. Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could enable competitors to use our proprietary information to develop products that compete with our products or cause additional, material adverse effects upon our competitive business position.

Litigation regarding patents, patent applications and other proprietary rights may be expensive and time consuming. If we are involved in such litigation, it could cause delays in bringing product candidates to market and harm our ability to operate.

Our commercial success will depend in part on our ability to manufacture, use, sell and offer to sell our product candidates and proposed product candidates without infringing patents or other proprietary rights of third parties. Although we are not currently aware of any litigation or other proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement related to our product candidates, the pharmaceutical industry is characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. Other parties may obtain patents in the future and allege that the use of our technologies infringes these patent claims or that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization. Likewise, third parties may challenge or infringe upon our or our licensors’ existing or future patents. Proceedings involving our patents or patent applications or those of others could result in adverse decisions regarding the patentability of our inventions relating to our product candidates or the enforceability, validity or scope of protection offered by our patents relating to our product candidates.

Even if we are successful in these proceedings, we may incur substantial costs and divert management’s time and attention in pursuing these proceedings. If we are unable to avoid infringing the patent rights of others, we may be required to seek a license, defend an infringement action or challenge the validity of the patents in court. Patent litigation is costly and time-consuming. We may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion. In addition, if we do not obtain a license, develop or obtain non-infringing technology, fail to defend an infringement action successfully or have our patents declared invalid, we may incur substantial monetary damages; encounter significant delays in bringing our product candidates to market; or be precluded from participating in the manufacture, use or sale of our product candidates or methods of treatment requiring licenses.

If our patent and other intellectual property protection is inadequate, our sales and profits could suffer or competitors could force our products completely out of the market.

Patents which prevent the manufacture or sale of our products may be issued to others. We may have to license those patents and pay significant fees or royalties to the owners of the patents in order to keep marketing our products. This would cause profits on sales to suffer.

We have been granted patents or licensed patents in the US, but patent applications that have been, or may in the future be, filed by us may not result in the issuance of additional patents. The scope of any patent issued may not be sufficient to protect our technology. The laws of foreign jurisdictions in which we intend to sell our products may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the US.

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technology advances. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and others, but these agreements may not be effective in protecting our proprietary information. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or obtain access to our know-how. Litigation, which is expensive, may be necessary to enforce or defend our patents or proprietary rights and may not end favorably for us. We may also choose to initiate litigation against other parties who we come to believe are infringing these patents. If such litigation is unsuccessful or if the patents are invalidated or canceled, we may have to write off the related intangible assets and such an event could significantly reduce our earnings. Any of our licenses, patents or other intellectual property may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, infringed or circumvented and may not provide any competitive advantage to us.

If the Company is required to impair their long-lived assets, the Company’s financial condition and results could be negatively affected.

If we are unable to manufacture products in our manufacturing facilities or successfully develop products using our patents that were purchased, the Company may conclude our long-lived assets may be impaired. If we evaluate our long-lived assets and deem that there is an impairment, under current accounting standards, the Company will be required to write down the assets. Any write-down would have a negative effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Investors may experience dilution if we issue additional shares of common stock.

In general, stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any common stock issued by us in the future. Therefore, stockholders may experience dilution of their equity investment if we issue additional shares of common stock in the future. This includes shares issuable under equity incentive plans, or if we issue securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock. Given that we will we require additional capital, we intend to raise funds in the future by issuing common stock that will cause dilution to our stockholders. We also have significant outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as well as a stock option pool available to employees, which if exercised, would cause dilution to our stockholders.

There is a limited trading market for our common stock, which could make it difficult to liquidate an investment in our common stock, in a timely manner.

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB. Because there is a limited public market for our common stock, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment whenever desired. We cannot assure that an active trading market for our common stock will ever develop and the lack of an active public trading market means that investors may be exposed to increased risk. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity.

With a limited trading market for our common stock, the trading price can be impacted by naked short selling.

Our stock price has been under downward pressure for over a year and we have been puzzled as to why there would be consistent downward pressure on our stock even in the face of positive news about the Company and our prospects. Following some investigation and with the assistance of outside advisors, we believe we are the target of naked short selling. Naked short selling is when an investor sells short shares that they do not possess and have not confirmed their ability to possess. If the trade associated with the short does not take place within the clearing time period and the short-seller does not tender shares to the buyer, the trade is considered a “failure to deliver.”

Naked short selling, a practice that is prohibited by the SEC's Regulation SHO, reduces the value of companies and shareholders' investments by artificially pushing a company’s stock price down. For smaller companies like ours that are looking to raise working capital, it makes the process difficult. Upon tracking our trading activity, we have determined that approximately 44% of our daily trading volume is short selling and we believe that the short sellers have been lax at complying with Regulation SHO since early 2013. There are no assurances that we will be able to curb the naked short selling of our stock.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade us or our sector, the price of our common stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades us or the industry in which we operate or the stock of any of our competitors, the price of our common stock will likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage altogether, we could lose visibility, which could also lead to a decline in the price of the common stock.

We cannot ensure that our common stock will be listed on a securities exchange, which may adversely affect your ability to dispose of our common stock in a timely fashion.

We plan to seek listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT or NASDAQ exchange as soon as reasonably practicable. In 2011, the NYSE MKT and the NASDAQ amended their listings to restrict the ability of companies that have completed reverse mergers to list their securities on such exchanges. In order to become eligible to list their securities on such exchange, reverse merger companies must have had their securities traded on an over-the-counter (OTC) market for at least one year, maintained a certain minimum closing price for no less than 30 of the most recent 60 days prior to the filing of an initial listing application and prior to listing, and timely filed with the SEC all required reports since consummation of the reverse merger, including one annual report containing audited financial statements for a full fiscal year commencing after the date of the filing of the Form 8-K containing the Company’s Form 10 information. To date the Company has not met all of the filing requirements above and may not be able to satisfy the initial listing standards of the NYSE MKT or NASDAQ exchanges in the foreseeable future or at all. Even if we are able to list our common stock on such exchange, we may not be able to maintain a listing of the common stock on such stock exchange.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile, which may adversely affect its market price.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations due to factors such as:

As a result, shares of our common stock may trade at prices significantly below the price an investor paid to acquire them. Furthermore, declines in the price of our common stock may adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct future offerings or to recruit and retain key employees.

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock.”

Trades of our common stock are subject to Rule 15g-9 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has other rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities listed on a national securities exchange, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. These disclosure requirements have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result of the foregoing, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares.

We have no current plan to pay dividends on our common stock and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

We have no current plans to pay dividends on our common stock. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares. We cannot assure investors of a positive return on their investment.

On March 17, 2017, we entered into a lease agreement for an additional 20,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Louisville, Colorado and sub-leased approximately 10,000 square feet of our original office space.

On March 31, 2017, Alpha Venture Capital Partners, L.P., a  stockholder, filed a derivative complaint against all of the then current members of our board of directors and certain executive officers, as defendants, and the Company, as nominal defendant, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”). Through the complaint, the plaintiff asserted, on behalf of the Company, actions for breach of fiduciary duties in connection with prior determinations of our board of directors relating to options granted under the Company’s 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and certain corporate governance deficiencies.  The plaintiff sought relief including disgorgement of stock options issued under the 2016 Plan, reformation of the 2016 Plan to reduce the number of options issuable under the 2016 Plan, certain corporate governance changes, an award of unspecified damages and an award for attorneys’ fees and other costs.

On May 2, 2017, the parties to the litigation agreed to a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) regarding the litigation and submitted the terms of the settlement to the Chancery Court for its approval. We agreed to among other things (i) cancel certain options granted to certain members of the board of directors and our executive officers, (ii) reduce the number of options issuable under the 2016 plan, (iii) include an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws at the Company’s next annual meeting and (iv) implement certain corporate governance changes. The proposed settlement was conditioned upon, among other things, approval by the Chancery Court. We believed the claims asserted in the action are without merit but we entered into the settlement to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation. The Chancery Court approved the settlement in all respects on June 28, 2017.

In September 2017, the Company settled with the plaintiff’s lawyer to pay certain legal expenses related to the Settlement (“Fee Settlement”). The Company will pay $125,000 at the time the Fee Settlement is approved by the Chancery Court and an additional $125,000 at the earlier of (1) the Company uplisting to NASDAQ or (2) April 30, 2018. The Company is still waiting for the Chancery Court to approve the Fee Settlement.

Market Information

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB of the OTC Markets Group under the trading symbol “ANTB.” The OTCQB is an inter-dealer quotation and trading system and only market makers can apply to quote securities on the OTCQB. Trading in our common stock on the OTCQB has been limited and sporadic and the quotations set forth below are not necessarily indicative of actual market conditions. Further, these prices reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

The following table sets forth the high and low last reported sale price information for our common stock for the fiscal quarters:

Holders

As of September 21, 2017 there were of record approximately 379 holders of common stock.

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends and intend to employ all available funds in the development of our business. We have no plans to pay cash dividends in the near future. If we issue in the future any preferred stock or obtain financing from a bank, the terms of those financings may contain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends for so long as the preferred stock or bank financing is outstanding.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

On February 1, 2017, we entered into a consulting agreement with an individual. As part of the compensation for the consultant, we agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock as part of the agreement in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The warrants vest monthly over 48 months and contain cashless exercise rights. As part of the consulting agreement, the individual also received warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of common stock for assistance with the most recent financing. These warrants contain cashless exercise rights and have an exercise term of ten years. All of the warrants shall be adjusted both as to the number of Shares and price into which and at which they are exercisable, based on any splits, conversions, or reorganizations that affect the Company’s common stock.

On June 30, 2017, we completed a close of a private placement transaction with accredited investors in which we issued shares of common stock priced at $1.00 per share. We issued an aggregate of 1,550,000 shares of common stock and received gross cash proceeds of $1.6 million, excluding placement agent compensation, transaction costs, fees and expenses. We relied on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board, or the entire Board if a committee has not been formed. The Board or Committee has the authority to issue options to any eligible persons, which includes employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants, independent contractors, or advisors providing services to the Company.

Some options are subject to a one year cliff and all options have an exercise price based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.

The following table displays equity compensation plan information as of June 30, 2017:

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements or the risk factors. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with Antria’s financial statements and related notes.

Our primary near-term objectives are: (1) to complete in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2017 the first part of our ongoing Phase 1 first-in-human clinical study of our lead product candidate, AB101, a once-weekly injectable basal insulin for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (“Study”); and (2) raise additional capital to fund ongoing operations following the review and announcement of summary data from the Study.

In June 2017, we filed an IND for AB101 with the FDA and in July 2017, we dosed our first patient in the Study. The study is a first-in-human single ascending dose study to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AB101 in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The first part of the study is a sequential cohort dose ranging of AB101 and there is an optional second study part to compare one or more tested doses of AB101 to Lantus®. In addition to safety and pharmacokinetic assessments, the time-action pharmacology of AB101 (onset, peak, and end of action) is being evaluated using several measures of glycemic response, including the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique, continuous glucose monitoring, and background insulin use.

We remain focused on ensuring we have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations. We have raised approximately $13 million in calendar year 2017 from individual investors in the US as well as pharmaceutical companies and funds in the Republic of Korea. The Company is targeting another total raise of at least $15 million, which we expect will allow us to sustain operations through the end of calendar year 2018. In addition to funding additional clinical studies of AB101, the incremental funding will allow us to advance our pipeline and cover general and administrative expenses. The Company has also been actively conducting animal studies to screen potential new product candidates as we seek to evolve our drug pipeline. Prior to the end of calendar year 2017, the Company expects to achieve proof of concept in animals for at least one potential pipeline drug candidate which will support advancing that candidate into IND-enabling studies in 2018.

Nonetheless, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its efforts in raising additional capital. Further, if the Company is unsuccessful, the lack of funding will materially and adversely impact the Company’s business and prospects. In particular, our ability to raise additional capital is substantially dependent upon results from the Study and in the event that such results fail to meet or exceed expectations, we may not be abe to attract additional capital to support the continuation of the program or overall operations.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful lives of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, income tax valuation allowances, the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities, going concern analysis and the impairment of long-lived assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements.

Patents

Costs of establishing patents consisting of legal fees paid to third parties and related costs are currently expensed as incurred. We will continue this practice unless we can demonstrate that such costs add economic value to our business, in which case we will capitalize such costs as part of intangible assets. The primary consideration in making this determination is whether or not we can demonstrate that such costs have, in fact, increased the economic value of our intellectual property. The $68,000 value of the patents acquired in connection with the asset acquisition from PRP is being amortized over the remaining patent lives of approximately eight years.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs consist primarily of expenses for personnel engaged in the design and development of product candidates, the scientific research necessary to produce commercially viable applications of our proprietary drugs, early stage clinical testing of product candidates, and development equipment and supplies, facilities costs and other related overhead.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. We determine the estimated grant date fair value of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize compensation costs ratably over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Common stock issued in exchange for services is recorded at fair value of the common stock at the date which we became obligated to issue the shares. The value of the shares is expensed over the requisite service period.

Derivatives

We account for our liability warrants by recording the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. The fair value of the warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. We recorded the derivative expense at the inception of each instrument reflecting the difference between the fair value and the cash received. Changes in the fair value in subsequent periods were recorded to derivative gains or losses for the period.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. We establish a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets for which there is uncertainty regarding realization.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded net losses of $20,277,132 and $14,935,542 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Revenues - We are a preclinical stage company and have not yet generated any revenues.

Expenses – Research and development costs include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other costs. Research and development costs for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $12,094,734 and $9,448,388, respectively. The increase is due to the Company increasing the number of research and development employees. The Company has also seen a significant increase in the manufacturing costs as the Company completed the manufacture of AB101 for the first clinical studies and also began the clinical studies during the current year.

General and administrative costs for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $8,229,314 and $5,502,902, respectively. The increase is mainly due to the Company increasing the stock option expense as well as an increase in professional fees and rent expense in 2017. The Company also recorded approximately $1.2 million of stock compensation expense for stock options that were cancelled during the year ended June 30, 2017. The remaining expenses have remained fairly consistent between the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Factors impacting our Results Operations

We have not generated any revenues since our inception in March 2010. Since inception, we have engaged in organizational activities, conducted private placements which raised additional capital, built out the manufacturing suite, produced material for our lead product candidate under good laboratory practices (GLP), conducted studies using the GLP material, and conducted research and development on our pipeline product candidates.

Due to the time required to conduct clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we anticipate it will be some time before we generate substantial revenues, if ever. We expect to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future, therefore we are continuing to evaluate raising additional capital in the near future to maintain the current operating plan. We cannot assure you that we will secure such financing or that it will be adequate to execute our business strategy. Even if we obtain this financing, it may be costly and may require us to agree to covenants or other provisions that will favor new investors over our existing stockholders.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the year ended June 30, 2017, our operating activities used approximately $13.3 million in cash. The use of cash was $7.1 million lower than the net loss due to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, derivative expenses, amortization and depreciation as well as other non-cash activities. Net cash used in operating activities also included a $68,762 increase in other assets, a $86,293 increase in deferred lease asset and cash provided by a $112,347 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $109,856 decrease in the deferred lease liability.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, our operating activities used approximately $10.5 million in cash. The use of cash was $4.6 million lower than the net loss due to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, derivative expenses, amortization and depreciation as well as other non-cash activities. Net cash used in operating activities also included a $42,083 increase in other assets and cash provided by a $26,370 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $105,484 decrease in the deferred lease liability.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2017 was $195,383. During the year, the Company purchased $407,929 of fixed assets for the facility, received $187,500 as a return of the security deposit on the lease of the facility and received $25,046 of a sublease deposit.

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2016 was $1,454,123. During the year, the Company purchased $2,091,790 of fixed assets for the facility, received $187,500 as a return of the security deposit on the lease of the facility and had a decrease in restricted cash of $450,167 as the construction project was completed and the restriction was released.

Net Cash from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended June 30, 2017 was $13,931,367. During the year, the Company received proceeds from an equity issuance of $14,637,689 and paid out issuance costs of $683,194. The Company also made capital lease payments of $23,128.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended June 30, 2016 was $10,725,928. During the year, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $6,347,615 and proceeds from an equity issuance of $5,362,521 and paid out issuance costs of $890,357. The Company also made capital lease payments of $93,851.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017, we have approximately $4.5 million in cash on hand and working capital of approximately $3.2 million. During the year ended June 30, 2017, we closed on an equity transaction in which we issued units consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase either one-half or one share of common stock. During the year ended June 30, 2017, we also closed on an equity transaction in which we issued straight shares of common stock.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $14 million from the transactions above. While we do have cash on hand, we anticipate that we will need an additional $15 million to cover operating expenses, continuing clinical trials of AB101 and continuing research and development of our product pipeline through the calendar year end 2018. We are currently evaluating raising additional capital to fund our current and future operations.

Going Concern

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations in our business. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing through private placements and/or bank financing or other means necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet transactions.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2017.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief accounting officer (our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment under those criteria, our management has determined that, at June 30, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to a material weakness 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.

The material weakness assessed by management was that (1) we have not segregated duties as our chief accounting officer can initiate and complete transactions in the general ledger system, (2) we have not implemented measures that would prevent the chief accounting officer from overriding the internal control system, and (3) the chief accounting officer is responsible for complex accounting issues without additional review from within the Company. We do not believe that this control weaknesses has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the chief executive officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC reporting requirement and personally certifies the financial reports.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the exemption provided to issuers that are not “large accelerated filers” nor “accelerated filers” under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

During the period covered by this Annual Report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

pH Pharma Collaboration Agreement

On February 29, 2016, we entered into a Strategic Collaboration and License Agreement (“Collaboration Agreement”) with pH Pharma Co., Ltd.(“PH”). Dr. Huh, and officer and Director of the Company is also the CEO of PH and a majority owner. Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company conditionally granted PH an exclusive, transferable, license under AB101 patents, patent applications and all other relevant Company intellectual property to manufacture and or offer for sale the Company’s lead product candidate, AB101, in Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam (the “License”). The License shall only become effective when PH has purchased a minimum of $8 million of the Company’s securities. In addition, under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, PH and the Company agree to work together to explore opportunities to utilize the Company’s proprietary microsphere platform for different therapeutic opportunities.

Through June 30, 2016, PH has invested $2 million into the Company. On March 6, 2017, PH purchased an additional $3 million of our common stock and the Company and PH are currently in discussions regarding the terms and scope of the License.

pH Pharma Services Agreement

On July 1, 2016, the Company and PH entered into a Master Services Agreement in which PH will perform business development services in Korea for the Company at a price of $10,350 per month. The Master Services Agreement was terminated in June 2017 with PH.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

We rely on our Board to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our Board reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our Board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our Board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our Board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company.

Director Independence

Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of the NASDAQ Stock Market to determine whether our current director or our new directors are independent. We have determined that as of the date of this Annual Report Barry Sherman, David Welch, Samir Patel, and Tae Hoon Kim would qualify as “independent” in accordance with the published listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market and for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANTRIABIO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

AntriaBio, Inc. and Subsidiary

Louisville, Colorado 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AntriaBio, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AntriaBio, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses and has inadequate liquidity to support planned future operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2017 

Note 1 Nature of Operations

These financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio”), and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AntriaBio Delaware, Inc. (“Antria Delaware”). AntriaBio, and Antria Delaware, are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”. The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical Company.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principals of Consolidation – These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AntriaBio, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the useful lives of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing and expected future operating losses, going concern analysis and the impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Company's operations may be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated with a preclinical stage company, including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.

Cash - In the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash in hand and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash on deposit with financial institutions it believes to be of high quality. At times during the year and at June 30, 2017, such cash investments were in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits.

Fixed Assets – Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

Intangible Assets – Costs of establishing patents, consisting of legal and filing fees paid to third parties, are expensed as incurred. The value of the current intangible asset is based on the asset values assigned in the asset acquisition discussed in Note 5. The intangible assets are being amortized over 11 years which is the life of the patents at the time they were acquired. The amortization expense is expected to be $7,292 for each of the next five fiscal years.

Deposits – Deposits represent amounts paid as a security deposit on the lease of the facilities and is recorded at cost.

Convertible Notes Payable - Borrowings are recognized initially at the principal amount received. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as interest expense in the statements of operation over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved. The value of the BCF is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other related costs. These costs relate to research and development costs without an allocation of general and administrative expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses - Expenses necessary to generate revenue are expensed in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company routinely performs an evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the carry value of assets or intangible assets may be impaired and if any adjustment is warranted. As of June 30, 2017, no facts or circumstances had occurred to indicate a change in the carrying amount of the assets and therefore no impairment existed.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Company’s balance sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. Changes in the Company’s valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision on the statements of operations.

The Company follows ASC 740 (formerly known as FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company reports tax related interest and penalties as a component of interest expense.

Segment Reporting – Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the board of directors that makes strategic decisions. The Company operates one segment.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events and circumstances. Therefore, comprehensive income (loss) includes our net loss and all charges and credits made directly to stockholders’ equity other than stockholders’ contributions and distributions. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has no items other than net loss affecting comprehensive income (loss).

Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated on the treasury stock method, by dividing income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the effects of dilutive convertible securities, by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding had all potential dilutive common shares been issued.

Although there were common stock equivalents of 39,454,065 and 33,462,014 shares outstanding at June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, consisting of stock options and warrants; they were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - From inception, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined 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. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible notes payable approximated fair value as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments.

The warrant derivative liability recorded as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 is recorded at an estimated fair value based on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrant derivative liability is a level 3 fair value instrument with the entire change in the balance recorded through earnings. See significant assumptions in Note 10. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for us starting on July 1, 2018, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We will be required to adopt ASU 2016-02 starting on July 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. We will be required to adopt this ASU starting on July 1, 2017 and expect the impact the adoption of this ASU will have a minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-9. Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The update includes guidance on what changes to share-based payment awards would require modification accounting and is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2017. We expect to adopt the ASU 2017-9 on July 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Subsequent Events – The Company has considered subsequent events through the date of issuance of this Report on Form 10-K, and has determined no additional disclosure is necessary, other than those disclosed in the footnotes.

Note 3 Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $20,277,132 and net cash used in operations of $13,311,459 for the year ended June 30, 2017, and stockholders’ equity of $8,527,967 and an accumulated deficit of $64,321,962 at June 30, 2017.  In addition, the Company is in the preclinical stage and has not yet generated any revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company expects that its current cash resources as well as expected lack of operating cash flows will not be sufficient to sustain operations for a period greater than one year from the date these financial statements have been issued. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include continuing to raise equity based financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing this objective.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include:

Useful Life of Depreciable Assets – The Company is required to exercise judgment in determining the estimated useful life of depreciable assets. The useful life is determined based on management’s judgement. The useful lives are reviewed on a regular basis to determine that the useful life is consistent with current economic events and historical events.

Share-based Payments and Warrants – The Company is required to exercise judgment in calculating the fair value of share based payments and warrants. The fair value calculation includes several inputs that are subject to management’s judgement. Management reviews these inputs on a regular basis to determine that the values used in the calculation are consistent with current economic events and historical events.

Warrant Derivative Liability – The Company is required to exercise judgment in calculating the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. The fair value calculation includes several inputs that are subject to management’s judgement. Management reviews these inputs on a regular basis to determine that the values used in the calculation are consistent with current economic events and historical events.

Contingent Liabilities - The Company is required to make judgments about contingent liabilities including the probability of pending and potential future litigation outcomes that, by their nature, are dependent on future events that are inherently uncertain. In making its determination of possible scenarios, management considers the evaluation of outside counsel knowledgeable about each matter, as well as known outcomes in case law.

Income Taxes - Significant judgement is involved in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, including any valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the normal course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for expected tax issues based upon estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax positions in the year in which such determination is made.

Going Concern - The Company is required to exercise judgement in determining the going concern analysis. The going concern analysis is determined based on management’s future projected cash flows, management judgement, and future projected financings. Management reviews these inputs on a regular basis based on current and historic events.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company is required to exercise judgement in evaluating the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets. The Company evaluates the current events of the Company and business and market conditions. Management reviews these events on a regular basis to determine if any events or circumstances have changed.

Note 5 Acquisition of Assets

On January 30, 2013, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement with the Chapter 7 Estate of PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PRP). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has acquired certain tangible and intangible assets in exchange for $400,000 in cash plus an initial deposit of $100,000 paid to the Chapter 11 Trustee of PRP which is included in the purchase price, plus contingent consideration up to a maximum amount of $44,000,000.

On November 6, 2014, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement with the Chapter 7 Estate of PRP in which the Company acquired its contingent consideration payments in exchange for $55,000 in cash. The value paid for the contingent consideration was allocated to the intangible assets that were acquired from PRP. As of the closing, the Company is no longer obligated to make any contingent consideration payments.

Note 6 Fixed Assets

The following is a summary of fixed assets and accumulated depreciation:

Depreciation expense was $1,106,878 and $743,962 for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 7 Related Party Transactions

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the company incurred investor relation expenses of $113,175 and general and administration expenses of $13,829 for services performed by related parties of the Company and included in the statement of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no related party transactions. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were $25,200 and none, respectively, related party expenses recorded in accounts payable and accrued expense – related party.

On February 29, 2016, we entered into a Strategic Collaboration and License Agreement (“Collaboration Agreement”) with pH Pharma Co., Ltd. (“PH”). Dr. Huh, an officer and Director of the Company is also the CEO of PH and a majority owner. Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, the Company conditionally granted PH an exclusive, transferable, license under AB101 patents, patent applications and all other relevant Company intellectual property to manufacture and or offer for sale the Company’s lead product candidate, AB101, in Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam (the “License”). The License shall only become effective when PH has purchased a minimum of $8 million of the Company’s securities. In addition, under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, PH and the Company agree to work together to explore opportunities to utilize the Company’s proprietary microsphere platform for different therapeutic opportunities. As of June 30, 2017, PH has invested $5 million into the Company and the Company and PH are currently in discussions regarding the terms and scope of the License.

Note 8 Convertible Notes Payable

From 2010 to January 2014, the Company issued several series of convertible promissory notes for which principal and interest were due between six months and two years after issuance. The convertible notes allowed investors to convert their shares into common stock at the time of certain qualifying events with some of the notes also issuing warrants at the time of conversion.

On March 31, 2014, the Company closed on an equity transaction which qualified as a “qualified financing.” As such the $2,703,000 in 2013 Notes and the accrued interest was converted into 2,186,838 shares of our common stock. The Company has also converted $4,275,172 of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Notes and accrued interest into 3,111,126 shares of our common stock as of June 30, 2014. The remaining balance of any debt discounts on the notes converted was recorded into interest expense at the time of the conversion.

During the year ended June 30, 2017, one convertible note with a balance of $50,000 and accrued interest converted to 58,350 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the convertible notes outstanding balance was $10,000 and $60,000, respectively, which consists of notes which were not converted at the time of the equity transaction. As of June 30, 2017, all of the outstanding convertible notes have matured and payments were due. The convertible notes which have not been repaid or converted continue to accrue interest at a rate of 8%.

Note 9 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 7, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized fifteen million shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”). The Series A Stock had a conversion feature at the option of the holder that could be converted at any time at a conversion rate of $1.95, subject to adjustment, into common stock. The shares also had a mandatory conversion feature at the same conversion rate if one of the following events occurs: 1) Upon vote or consent of 2/3 of the then outstanding Series A Stock; 2) Upon the Company’s listing to NASDAQ Stockmarket or the NYSE MKT and the Company’s common stock trades for 30 days for at least 155% of the Series A Stock conversion price; or 3) the Company closes an underwritten public offering of at least $15 million in gross proceeds with an offering price of at least 155% of the Series A Stock conversion price. The Series A Stock’s conversion price was subject to weighted average anti-dilution protection, as defined, and was subject to adjustments for stock splits, dividends, and similar events. The Series A Stock was mandatorily redeemable ten years after the issuance date or upon a liquidation event, as defined, which included a change in control and therefore recorded before stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The Series A Stock was entitled to an annual dividend of 6% based on the original issuance price, compounded quarterly. The dividend was cumulative and was to be paid in shares of Series A Stock. The accrued dividends were payable upon redemption or conversion. The Series A Stock had voting rights equal to common stockholders as if the Series A Stock converted into common stock on the record date of the vote. The Series A Stock also had liquidation preferences over other stockholders.

On December 10, 2015, the Company closed an initial offering of its Series A Stock with an offering price of $1.95 per share. The Company issued 1,025,699 shares and received net proceeds of $1,803,548 after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $105,715 and a warrant with a fair value of $90,852 recorded as issuance costs. On March 2, 2016, the Company closed a second offering of its Series A Stock with an offering price of $1.95 per share. The Company issued 1,716,487 shares and received net proceeds of $2,956,975 after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $231,214 and a warrant with a fair value of $159,311 recorded as issuance costs. On April 12, 2016, the Company closed a final offering of its Series A Stock with an offering price of $1.95 per share. The Company issued 512,820 shares and received net proceeds of $1,000,000 as there were no placement agent compensation or issuance costs. The issuance costs were being accreted over the ten-year life of the Series A Stock of which $22,846 was accreted during the year ended June 30, 2016.

Through June 24, 2016, the Company declared and issued 71,708 shares of Series A Stock as dividends on the current outstanding shares of Series A Stock.

On June 24, 2016, the Company and the stockholders of the Series A Preferred Stock consented to convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. The conversion occurred at a conversion price of $1.95 per share. The Company then entered into an Exchange Agreement with each former Series A stockholder to exchange the Conversion Shares into shares of common stock and related warrants equal to the Series A Preferred Stock purchase price plus accrued dividends at an exchange rate of $1.10 per Exchange Share and related Exchange Warrant. The Company converted and cancelled 3,326,714 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and issued 5,897,677 Exchange Shares and Exchange Warrants. As the Series A stockholders received additional securities over what would have been received in the original conversion terms the transaction was considered an induced conversion. The Exchange Shares and Exchange Warrants received are recorded at the fair value on the date they were received. The excess of the fair value of the securities received over the fair value of the securities the stockholders would have received under the original terms on the date of conversion was $5,811,700 and was recorded as a deemed dividend as additional paid-in capital at the time of conversion. The Company then recorded a gain on the exchange of $2,929,084, which was also recorded into additional paid in capital. As a result of the conversion and exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer deemed outstanding, and all rights with respect to such stock ceased and terminated.

Note 10 Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par-value common stock. All shares of the Company’s common stock have equal rights and privileges with respect to voting, liquidation and dividend rights. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to:

Stockholders have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or any other securities. Common shares are not subject to redemption and carry no subscription or conversion rights.

Preferred Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with each share having a par value of $0.001. See Note 9 above for the Preferred Stock transaction during year ended June 30, 2016.

During 2016, the Company entered into a private placement transaction in which the Company issued 4,875,020 units to accredited investors. Each investor was issued either Class A Units or Class B units of the Company. Each Class A Unit received one share of common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. If the investor had previously invested in the Company they were eligible for a Class B Unit which received one share of common stock and one common share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant is exercisable at $1.65 per share and will expire 60 months following the issuance. As of June 30, 2016, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $553,428 and $500,320 of warrant expense recorded as issuance costs.

During 2017, the Company closed additional private placement transactions in which the Company issued 5,783,184 units to accredited investors. Each investor was issued either Class A Units or Class B units of the Company. Each Class A Unit received one share of common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. If the investor had previously invested in the Company they were eligible for a Class B Unit which received one share of common stock and one common share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant is exercisable at $1.65 per share and will expire 60 months following the issuance. As of June 30, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $5.2 million after the placement agent compensation and issuance costs paid of $683,194 and $516,550 of warrant expense recorded as issuance costs.

The Company also entered into a private placement transaction in which the Company issued common stock to accredited investors at an offering price of $1.00 per share. As of June 30, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $8.1 million after the placement agent compensation of $186,671 of warrant expense recorded as issuance costs. There was no cash placement agent compensation associated with this transaction. On July 17, 2017, the Company received an additional $4.5 million in gross proceeds on the offering.

The Company has not declared or paid any dividends or returned any capital to common stock shareholders as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 11 Stock-Based Compensation

Options - AntriaBio adopted individual stock option plans in January 2013 for four officers and/or directors of the Company. The stock option plans granted 1,500,000 option shares with an exercise price of $4.50 and had fully vested as of June 30, 2016. In June 2013, AntriaBio adopted individual stock option plans for two consultants of the Company. The stock option plans granted 8,334 shares with an exercise price of $4.50 per share and had fully vested as of June 30, 2016. As of May 12, 2017, 1,166,667 of the options were cancelled in connection with the settlement as disclosed in Note 13.

On March 26, 2014, the Company adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2014 Stock and Incentive Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 3,750,000 of common stock in the form of stock options, incentive options or common stock. The Company had granted 3,295,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of June 30, 2016. The options have an exercise price from $1.29 to $3.44 per share. The options vest monthly over four years, with some options subject to a one year cliff before options begin to vest monthly.

On February 23, 2015, the Company adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2015 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 6,850,000 of common stock in the form of stock options. The Company granted 4,397,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of June 30, 2016 and granted an additional 90,000 of these shares to current employees as of June 30, 2017. The options have an exercise price of from $1.00 to $2.06 per share. The options vest monthly over 4 years with some options subject to a one year cliff before options begin to vest monthly.

On October 31, 2016, the Board adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 35,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of stock options. The 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan was amended on August 21, 2017 to reduce the number of shares to be issued to 15,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of stock options. The Board had issued options to purchase 28,995,000 of these shares to current employees and directors as of June 30, 2017, of which 4,360,000 were cancelled before their terms were established and 11,090,000 were additionally cancelled by the Board in relation to the settlement discussed in Note 13 during the year ended June 30, 2017. The Company had 1,550,000 of the cancelled stock options that had begun vesting prior to the cancellation and with the cancellation the Company recorded $1,199,847 of unrecognized stock compensation expense. The options have an exercise price from $1.00 to $1.20 per share. The options expire no later than ten years from the date of the grant. The options vest on a monthly basis over 48 months, except for 100,000 of the options which do not begin to vest until specific events have occurred and then begin to vest over 48 months. Some options are subject to a one year cliff and all options have an exercise price based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.

AntriaBio has computed the fair value of all options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to valuation. AntriaBio estimated a volatility factor utilizing a comparable published volatility of several peer companies. Due to the small number of option holders and all options being to officers, directors, or high level employees AntriaBio has estimated a forfeiture rate of zero. AntriaBio estimates the expected term based on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity.

AntriaBio has computed the fair value of all options granted during the year ended June 30, 2017 using the following assumptions:

These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of issuance. In order to calculate the fair value of the warrants in both models, certain assumptions were made regarding components of the model, including the closing price of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield, and warrant term. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to valuation. AntriaBio estimated a volatility factor utilizing a comparable published volatility of several peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity. The Black-Scholes valuation methodology was used because that model embodies all of the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments.

Significant assumptions for the warrants issued for the year ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
