SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements within this report include, without limitation, statements regarding our drug candidates (including SM-88 and TYME- 18) and their clinical potential and non-toxic safety profiles, our drug development plans and strategies, ongoing and planned preclinical or clinical trials, preliminary data results and the therapeutic design and mechanisms of our drug candidates. The words “believes,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “intends,” “estimates,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “continue,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions (including their use in the negative), are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by discussions of future matters such as: the effect of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the associated economic downturn and impacts on the Company's ongoing clinical trials and ability to analyze data from those trials; the cost of development and potential commercialization of our lead drug candidate and of other new products; expected releases of interim or final data from our clinical trials; possible collaborations; and the timing, scope and objectives of our ongoing and planned clinical trials and other statements that are not historical. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on management’s current expectations and projections which are subject to uncertainty, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any historical results and future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: the severity, duration, and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; that the information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to change; uncertainties inherent in the cost and outcomes of research and development, including the cost and availability of acceptable-quality clinical supply and the ability to achieve adequate clinical study design and start and completion dates; the possibility of unfavorable study results, including unfavorable new clinical data and additional analyses of existing data; risks associated with early, initial data, including the risk that the final data from any clinical trials may differ from prior or preliminary study data; final results of additional clinical trials that may be different from the preliminary data analysis and may not support further clinical development; that past reported data are not necessarily predictive of future patient or clinical data outcomes; whether and when any applications or other submissions for SM-88 may be filed with regulatory authorities; whether and when regulatory authorities may approve any applications or submissions; decisions by regulatory authorities regarding labeling and other matters that could affect commercial availability of SM-88; the ability of TYME and its collaborators to develop and realize collaborative synergies; competitive developments; and the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2020, as well as subsequent reports we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov).

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements we make. We cannot assure you that forward-looking statements in this report or therein will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us to any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We disclaim any intent or duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after completion of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

The cautionary statements made in this report are intended to be applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they may appear in this report. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Business

Tyme Technologies, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Bedminster, New Jersey, with wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tyme Inc. and Luminant Biosciences, LLC (“Luminant”) (collectively, “TYME” or the “Company”). Prior to 2014, Luminant conducted the initial research and development of the Company’s therapeutic platform. Since January 1, 2014, the majority of the Company’s research, development and other business activities have been conducted by Tyme Inc., which was incorporated in Delaware in 2013.

TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing cancer metabolism-based therapies (CMBTsTM) that are intended to be effective across a broad range of solid tumors and hematologic cancers, while also maintaining patients’ quality of life through relatively low toxicity profiles. Unlike targeted therapies that attempt to regulate specific pathways within cancer, TYME’s therapeutic approach is designed to take advantage of a cancer cell’s innate metabolic requirements to cause cancer cell death.

 

The Company’s lead clinical CMBT compound, SM-88, is an oral investigational modified proprietary tyrosine derivative that is hypothesized to interrupt the metabolic processes of cancer cells by breaking down the cells’ key defenses and leading to cell death through oxidative stress and exposure to the body’s natural immune system. Clinical trial data have shown that SM-88 has achieved confirmed tumor responses across 15 different cancers, both solid and liquid tumors, including pancreatic, lung, breast, prostate, sarcoma and lymphoma cancers with minimal serious Grade 3 or higher adverse events, which the Company believes is rare for investigational compounds. The Company’s lead compound SM-88 is now in a pivotal trial and an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent for patients with third- and second-line pancreatic cancer. In fiscal year 2020, we launched our pivotal study for SM-88 in the third-line treatment of pancreatic cancer through an amendment to our ongoing TYME-88-Panc trial (“Part 2”); with the first patient dosed in the third quarter of the fiscal year. We anticipate the trial to be fully enrolled in the first or second quarter of calendar year 2021. We have also partnered with Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (“PanCAN”) to study SM-88 in an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent known as Precision Promise. Patients are being enrolled in a Phase II study evaluating SM-88 in high-risk sarcomas as well. The Company is actively evaluating the expansion of our clinical program to other tumor types potentially including metastatic breast, recurrent prostate and/or hematological cancers.

TYME-18 is a CMBT compound under development that is delivered intratumorally. Like SM-88, TYME-18 leverages the unique metabolism of cancer to create a treatment for inoperable tumors. Preliminary observations of the local administration of TYME-18, an amphiphilic steroid acid, suggested its potential as an important regulator of energy metabolism that may impede the ability of tumors to increase in size which could prove useful in difficult-to-treat cancers. In initial preclinical xenograft mouse studies, TYME-18 was able to completely resolve over 90 percent (11/12 mice) of established colorectal tumors within 12 days versus an average of over 600 percent growth in the control animals. The Company plans to continue with the development of TYME-18 in solid tumors and to provide details of an IND-enabling program this calendar year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Liquidity

 

The condensed consolidated 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. The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity offerings.

 

In April 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $11.3 million after underwriting discounts and before expenses through an underwritten registered offering.

 

On October 18, 2019, TYME entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock through Jefferies having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “Jefferies ATM”). In the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company raised approximately $1.3 million in aggregate gross proceeds through the Sale Agreement and paid commissions and expenses of $0.1 million. At June 30, 2020, there remained approximately $27.0 million of availability to sell shares through the Jefferies ATM.

On January 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eagle”), pursuant to which the Company raised $20.0 million through the issuance and sale to Eagle of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share (the “Eagle SPA”). The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of (i) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the PanCAN Precision Promise SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) FDA approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement. The proceeds of the aforementioned offerings are being used by the Company for continued clinical studies, drug commercialization and development activities and other general corporate and operating expenses.

       

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $6.4 million and net loss of $8.8 million, which included non-cash expenses of $3.3 million related to change in fair value of warrant liability and $1.1 million non-cash equity compensation, partially offset by a non-cash gain on warrant exchange of $2.2 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of approximately $16.9 million.

Management has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they come due during the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financial statements. This conclusion is based on the Company’s assessment of qualitative and quantitative conditions and events, considered in aggregate as of the date of issuance of these financial statements that are known and reasonably knowable. Among other relevant conditions and events, the Company has considered its operational plans, liquidity sources, obligations due or expected, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations, and potential adverse conditions or events as of the issuance date of these financial statements.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC related to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Tyme Inc. and Luminant. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020 included in the Company’s 2020 10-K.

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss or cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of the derivative liability is discussed in Note 6.

Table of Contents

 

Derivative Warrant Liability

Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise or certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As noted in Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet if the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that contains certain price protection features that cause the warrants to be treated as derivatives or requires the issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. Each warrant of this type is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black-Sholes model, and is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant. The Company utilizes Level 3 fair value criteria to measure the fair value of the warrants (see Note 6).

 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to those risks associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors.

Current Economic Conditions

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken by governments and others to reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, shutdowns of businesses deemed non-essential, and stay-at-home or similar orders, has negatively impacted the global economy, financial markets, and our industry and has disrupted day-to-day life and business operations. Even as certain restrictions have been lifted and new processes implemented, the Company believes that the current economic conditions are likely to continue to have a negative impact for the foreseeable future, and the extent to which they may impact the Company’s operations, liquidity and financial condition remains uncertain and may be significant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value in Topic 820. Under this ASU, certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements are eliminated, amended or added. The guidance is effective for the Company fiscal year and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company has adopted ASU 2018-13 using a prospective method effective April 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 6.

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”). Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. During the periods presented, the calculation excludes any potential dilutive common shares and any equivalents as they would have been anti-dilutive.

Warrants issued in April 2019, discussed further in Note 8, participated on a one-for-one basis with common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on the Company’s common stock. For purposes of computing EPS, these warrants were, when outstanding, considered to participate with common stock in the earnings of the Company and, therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income for the period is allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. No income was allocated to the warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and, 2019 as results of operations was a loss for both periods.

 

The following outstanding securities at June 30, 2020 and 2019 have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as they are anti-dilutive:

Note 5. Severance Payable

 

On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Release Agreement related to the separation of employment of its then-Chief Operating Officer. The agreement provides for salary continuance for five years, reimbursement of health benefits for three years and a modification to his outstanding stock options to extend the post-termination exercise period for his vested options from three months to five years. The Company recorded severance expense at its present value of $2.5 million (using a discount rate of 6%) for the year ended March 31, 2019, including $0.4 million relating to the stock option modification. The severance liability payable as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

 

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. The fair value of the derivative liability is discussed below.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received if selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company’s financial assets are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy, and their applicability to the Company’s financial assets, are described below.

 

9


Table of Contents

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date of identical, unrestricted assets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to the security.

Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets. Level 3 assets include private investments that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The Company had no material re-measurements of fair value with respect to financial assets and liabilities, during the periods presented, other than those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.


The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. The fair value measurement for the warrants issued in connection with the registered offering that closed on April 2, 2019 (the “April 2019 Warrants”) and the warrant issued in conjunction with the Exchange Agreements (see Note 8 for transaction details) (the “May 2020 Warrant”) are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and are classified as Level 3 liability as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. 

 

The fair value of the April 2019 Warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model and included significant unobservable inputs including volatility and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring (See Note 8 for further discussion of the issuance of common stock from an underwritten registered offering). The fair value of the May 2020 Warrant was determined using the Black Scholes model and included significant unobservable inputs including volatility and discount for lack of marketability. Both models incorporated several observable assumptions at each valuation date including: the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation, the remaining contractual term of the warrant and the risk free interest rate over the term. Transfers are calculated on values as of the transfer date. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

The following table details key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the May 2020 Warrant as of June 30, 2020 using a Black Scholes model and April 2019 Warrants liability as of March 31, 2020 using the Monte Carlo simulation models:

At-the-Market Financing Facility

 

On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement with Jefferies, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Jefferies, as the Company’s sales agent. The shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its previously filed and currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-211489) (the “Shelf Registration”). Any sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company.

 

11


Table of Contents

 

The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company raised approximately $1.3 million in gross proceeds via sale of 891,944 shares of Common Stock. The Company incurred $0.1 million of related costs that offset the proceeds. At June 30, 2020, there remained approximately $27.0 million of availability to sell shares through the Jefferies ATM.   

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle entered into the Eagle SPA, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of (i) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the PanCAN Precision Promise SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) FDA approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement.


April 2019 - Registered Offering

 

In April 2019, the Company completed an underwritten registered offering (the “Offering”) of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. The total net proceeds of the Offering were $11.3 million after deducting underwriter’s discounts and before expenses related to the Offering.

 

As part of the Offering, the investors received warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “April 2019 Warrants”). 

 

The Warrants participate with common stock on a one-for-one basis for distribution dividends or other assets of the Company.

 

Exchange Agreements

 

On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders (the “Holders”) of the April 2019 Warrants. The April 2019 Warrants were offered and issued pursuant to the Company’s Shelf Registration.

 

Pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement(a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period.

 

The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include the price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant.

 

The April 2019 Warrants were remeasured as of May 20, 2020, before the exchange, using the Monte Carlo pricing simulation resulting in a fair value of approximately $7.3 million, and the change in fair value from March 31, 2020 to the fair value before the exchange of approximately $3.7 million was recorded as an expense component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: $1.70 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.28% risk free rate and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring. The change in fair

Table of Contents

 

value of the April 2019 Warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.9 million and recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

At May 20, 2020, the fair value of the 2,406,250 shares issued under the Share Exchange Agreements was approximately $3.4 million and resulted in a gain on exchange of approximately $1.9 million.

 

The exercise price of the May 2020 Warrant is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company determined that the May 2020 Warrant should be recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the May 2020 Warrant’s contractual provisions requiring issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. At May 20, 2020, the May 2020 Warrant was recorded at the fair value of $1.7 million as determined using the Black Scholes model and the change in fair value before and after the exchange of $0.3 million was recorded as a gain on warrant exchange as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Black Scholes model were as follows: $1.64 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.27% risk free rate and 7% discount for lack of marketability. The change in fair value of May 2020 Warrant from May 20, 2020 through June 30, 2020 of $0.4 million income was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Contract Service Providers

In the course of the Company’s normal business operations, it enters into agreements and arrangements with contract service providers to assist in the performance of its research and development and clinical research activities.

 

On April 1, 2020, the Company amended the Clinical Research Funding and Drug Supply Agreement dated October 9, 2018, with PanCAN, to enroll individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a platform style clinical research study. Stage 1 of the study was initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. As of June 30, 2020, after taking into consideration amounts already paid, the remaining expense to the Company is approximately $6.8 million, subject to enrollment adjustments, and is expected to be incurred over two years and three months.

Purchase Commitments

 

The Company has entered into contracts with manufacturers to supply SM-88 and certain related conditioning agents, in order to achieve favorable pricing on supplied products. These contracts have non-cancellable elements related to the scheduled deliveries of these products in future periods. Payments are made by us to the manufacturer when the products are delivered and of acceptable quality. The outstanding future contract obligations structured to match clinical supply needs for our ongoing trials and registration activity are approximately $1.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2020. We expect the timing of associated payments to predominately occur through fiscal year 2022.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on us, our business, operating results or financial condition. From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation, claims or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company would accrue a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company would not record a liability, but instead would disclose the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

 

Note 10. Leases

 

The Company leases office space in New York and office space and furniture in New Jersey. The New York rent obligation has been prepaid through August 30, 2020, the end of the lease. The Company does not intend on renewing the New York office lease and has relocated the Company’s headquarters from the New York office to the New Jersey office. The New Jersey leases expire in February 2021.

Total Company rent expense, including short term rentals, was approximately $77,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.   

 

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease terms. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. Payments for additional monthly fees to cover the Company's share of certain facility expenses are not included in operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of 6.0% to calculate the present value of its lease payments, as the implicit rates in the leases are not readily determinable.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating lease agreements for which the Company has recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were as follows:

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

 

Legal

 

Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath (“Faegre Drinker’), formerly Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (“DBR”) has provided legal services to the Company. The Company’s Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary holds the consulting role “Of Counsel” with the Faegre Drinker. Before joining the Company as Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, he was a partner at DBR and a non-employee director of the Company. In that capacity he received equity compensation payable to non-employee directors generally under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2016 Director Plan”) (see Note 12, Equity Incentive Plan) as well as cash compensation payable to non-employee directors generally. Legal fees incurred associated with Faegre Drinker were approximately $235,000 and $152,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $235,000 and $73,000, respectively, in accounts payable and accrued expenses payable to Faegre Drinker.

Note 12. Equity Incentive Plan

Stock Options

 

As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $5.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average service period of 2.38 years.

 

As of June 30, 2020, there were 3,459,673 shares available for grant under the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and 2016 Director Plan.

 

Stock based compensation expense recognized was as follows:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. For employees and non-employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which approximates the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating forfeitures as of an award’s grant date.

Note 13. Income Taxes

A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company weighed available positive and negative evidence and concluded that a full valuation allowance should continue to be maintained on its net deferred tax assets.

The Company is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s uncertain tax positions remain unchanged. Due to the full valuation allowance, none of the gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate at June 30, 2020.

The Company had no income tax related penalties or interest for periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements related to uncertain tax positions due to available net operating loss carryforwards, which would be recorded as tax expense should the Company accrue for such items.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The disclosures in this Quarterly Report are complementary to those made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 22, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”). You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing in this Quarterly Report as well as our audited financial statements, notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2020 Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and of our 2020 Form 10-K, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. As used in this report, unless the context suggests otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “TYME” or “Tyme Technologies” refer to Tyme Technologies, Inc. together with its subsidiaries. All amounts in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are approximate.

Overview

 

TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing cancer metabolism-based therapies (CMBTsTM) that are intended to be effective across a broad range of solid tumors and hematologic cancers, while also maintaining patients’ quality of life through relatively low toxicity profiles. Unlike targeted therapies that attempt to regulate specific pathways within cancer, TYME’s therapeutic approach is designed to take advantage of a cancer cell’s innate metabolic requirements to cause cancer cell death. Our first-in-class CMBT compounds include SM-88 and TYME-18. These compounds are structurally and mechanistically different, and we believe they offer the potential for better and safer medicines. Early clinical results demonstrated by SM-88 in multiple advanced cancers, including pancreatic, prostate, sarcomas and breast, reinforce the potential of our emerging CMBT pipeline. Moreover, we believe our pipeline offers hope to patients for a new future in long-term management of advanced cancers.

 

Our lead clinical CMBT compound, SM-88, is an oral investigational modified proprietary tyrosine derivative that is hypothesized to interrupt the metabolic processes of cancer cells by breaking down the cells’ key defenses and leading to cell death through oxidative stress and exposure to the body’s natural immune system. To date, clinical trial data have shown that SM-88 has achieved confirmed tumor responses across 15 different cancers, both solid and liquid tumors, including pancreatic, lung, breast, prostate, sarcoma and lymphoma cancers with minimal serious Grade 3 or higher adverse events, which we believe is rare for investigational compounds. Our lead compound SM-88 is now in a pivotal trial and a Phase II/III adaptive randomized trial with registration intent for patients with second- and third-line pancreatic cancer. In fiscal year 2020, we launched our pivotal study for SM-88 in the third-line treatment of pancreatic cancer through an amendment to our ongoing TYME-88-Panc trial (Part 2), with the first patient dosed in the third quarter of the fiscal year. Despite delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we anticipate the trial to be fully enrolled in the first or second quarter of calendar year 2021. (See “COVID-19 Update” below.) We currently estimate the cost of the TYME-88-Panc trial (Part 2) to be approximately $15.0 million, with such costs anticipated to extend through calendar year 2021. We have partnered with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (“PanCAN”) to study SM-88 in an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent known as Precision PromiseSM. In Precision Promise, SM-88 is initially being studied as second-line monotherapy and the study of SM-88 could expand to first-line combination therapy with standard of care. The remaining estimated cost for Precision Promise Stage 1 is approximately $7.5 million. Patients are also being enrolled in a Phase II study evaluating SM-88 in high-risk sarcomas and we presented final SM-88 prostate Phase II clinical data at the European Society for Medical Oncology’s ESMO 2019 conference showing encouraging clinical benefit in patients with bio-marker recurrent prostate cancer. The Company is actively evaluating the expansion of our clinical program to other tumor types potentially including metastatic breast, recurrent prostate and/or hematological cancers.

 

TYME-18 is a CMBT compound under development that is delivered intratumorally. Like SM-88, TYME-18 leverages the unique metabolism of cancer to create a treatment for inoperable tumors. Preliminary observations of the local administration of TYME-18, an amphiphilic steroid acid, suggested its potential as an important regulator of energy metabolism that may impede the ability of tumors to increase in size which could prove useful in difficult-to-treat cancers. In initial preclinical xenograft mouse studies, TYME-18 was able to completely resolve over 90 percent (11/12 mice) of established colorectal tumors within 12 days versus an average of over 600 percent growth in the control animals. The Company plans to continue with the development of TYME-18 in solid tumors and to provide details of an IND-enabling program this calendar year.

COVID-19 Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken by governments and others to reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, shutdowns of businesses deemed non-essential, and stay-at-home or similar orders, has negatively impacted the global economy, financial markets, and our industry and has disrupted day-to-day life and business operations. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, our clinical trials, and the safety of patients, including as cities and states ease certain restrictions and begin to reopen or consider doing so. We continue to work closely with our clinical trial sites during the pandemic. While all trials for SM-88 are still actively enrolling patients and we believe we have sufficient clinical supply to complete all of our trials, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted enrollment of our TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial. Enrollment has been impacted due to various reasons related to the pandemic, including but not limited to an overall decrease in cancer diagnoses, changes in patient treatment practices, changes in hospital or university policies, federal, state or local regulations, and prioritization of hospital resources toward pandemic efforts. Although the rate of enrollment in our trials has proceeded more slowly than originally anticipated, we expect full enrollment for the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial in the first or second quarter of calendar year 2021. We are committed to working with the clinical trial sites to assure appropriate access for patients who are seeking clinical trial options for these advanced cancers for which the patients have limited or no other treatment options. We have also taken important steps to protect the health and welfare of our employees, consultants and board members, primarily by adapting to a fully “work-from-home” model since March 2020. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our product candidates and business, including patients’ willingness to participate in clinical trials, the timing of meeting enrollment expectations, the ability of our third-party partners to remain operational and our access to capital markets and financing sources, however, depends on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including those identified under “Risk Factors” in the 2020 10-K, many of which are beyond our control. Management continues to monitor the situation closely and intends to continue to adapt and implement process adjustments as needed.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses, warrant liability, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as discussed in our 2020 10-K.

Derivative Warrant Liability

Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise or certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant. The Company utilizes Level 3 fair value criteria to measure the fair value of the warrants.

As noted in Item 1. Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet if the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that contains certain price protection features or requires issuance of registered common shares upon exercise which cause the warrants to be treated as derivatives. Each warrant of this type is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black Scholes model, and is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant.

Recent Developments

 

Consistent with our overall corporate mission of developing effective cancer therapies that aim to extend patients’ lives while not compromising on their quality of life, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and subsequently, we note the following activities:

HopES Sarcoma Phase II Study-Interim Futility Review Outcome

 

On August 11, 2020, TYME announced a positive outcome of an interim futility review for the investigator-initiated HopES Sarcoma Phase II clinical trial, sponsored by the Sarcoma Oncology Research Center, that is evaluating TYME’s lead cancer metabolism-based candidate, SM-88, as a potential oral treatment for patients with Ewing’s Sarcoma and other high-risk sarcomas.

 

The interim futility review was completed in late July and, based on the analysis of the data and recommendations of Sant Chawla, M.D., founder of the Sarcoma Oncology Center, Santa Monica, CA and principal investigator for the HopES Sarcoma trial, the study will proceed with the current trial design as planned. The next major milestone in the HopES Sarcoma trial is expected in calendar year 2021. Sarcomas represents a great unmet medical need and significant opportunity for all stakeholders. There are more than 12,000 patients diagnosed each year without meaningful treatment options.

 

The HopES Sarcoma trial is a prospective open-label Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of SM-88, with the conditioning agents methoxsalen, phenytoin and sirolimus, in two cohorts of patients. Up to 24 evaluable patients (12 per cohort) will be enrolled. The trial’s primary objectives are to measure efficacy events, including overall response, stable disease and progression free survival. Secondary objectives include duration of response, overall survival, clinical benefit rate using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1), and incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. 

 

Orphan Drug Designation

 

On August 3, 2020, TYME announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had granted it Orphan Drug Designation for its lead pipeline candidate, SM-88 (racemetyrosine), as a potential treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer.

 

The FDA’s Office of Orphan Drug Products grants orphan status to support development of medicines for underserved patient populations, or rare disorders, that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan Drug Designation provides certain benefits, including market exclusivity upon regulatory approval, if received, exemption of FDA application fees and tax credits for qualified clinical trials.

 

Preclinical Findings

 

TYME announced new preclinical findings that describe the unique mechanism of action of its lead cancer metabolism-based candidate, SM-88 (racemetyrosine). The data were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2020 Virtual Meeting from June 22 to June 24, 2020. Key highlights are as follows:

 

 

Preclinical data demonstrated statistically significant tumor reduction in SM-88 treated arms versus controls.

 

The data builds on confirmed tumor responses achieved in human clinical studies across 15 different cancer types.

 

Multiple monotherapy effects of SM-88 were shown, including increased oxidative stress, disruption of autophagy, and tumor immunomodulation.

 

Preclinical results were demonstrated across multiple tumor types including, pancreatic, colon, breast, and ovarian,

 

Reduction of immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment supports exploring combination with immuno-oncology treatments.

 

Oral SM-88 is designed to selectively disrupt cancer’s metabolic process and cause cancer cell death.

 

At the same AACR meeting, TYME also announced new preclinical findings that describe the unique anti-cancer effects of its cancer metabolism-based pipeline candidate, TYME-18. Preclinical studies are ongoing with a goal of identifying an IND-enabling program. Key highlights of data presented are as follows:

 

 

TYME-18 leverages unique metabolism of cancer to create an intratumoral treatment for inoperable cancers.

 

Preclinical animal studies demonstrated TYME-18’s potential to dramatically shrink and/or resolve tumors.

 

TYME-18 treatment resulted in a 91.6% (11/12) complete resolution of established tumors within two weeks.

 

Novel mechanism of action contributes to a strong anti-cancer effect while minimizing systemic and local toxicity.

 

Resignation of Chief Operating Officer

 

On July 16, 2020, Michele Korfin gave notice of her decision to resign as Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective August 14, 2020. Ms. Korfin served as our Chief Operating Officer beginning in March 2019 and she previously served as our Chief Commercial Officer beginning in October 2018.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Ended June 30, 2019

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $8,826,000 compared to $3,192,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in losses for the three-month period is due to the non-cash expense change in the fair value of warrant liability of $6,201,000, partially offset by a non-cash gain on warrant exchange of $2,229,000 and increased operating costs and expenses, primarily research and development expenses, of $1,595,000.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $6,390,000 compared to $5,603,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. See Cash Flows section below for further details.

Revenues

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not realize any revenues from operations. We do not anticipate any revenues until such time as one of our products has been approved for commercialization by appropriate regulatory authorities, or we enter into certain types of collaboration or licensing arrangements, none of which is anticipated to occur in the near future.

Operating Costs and Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, operating costs and expenses totaled $7,772,000 compared to $6,177,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1,595,000. Operating costs and expenses were comprised of the following:

 

Research and development expenses were $4,715,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2,785,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1,930,000. Substantially all research and development expenditures have been incurred in respect of our lead drug candidate SM-88 and its technology platform. Research and development activities primarily consist of the following:

 

o

Study and consulting expenses were $3,553,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,471,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2,082,000 between the comparable periods. The increase is mainly attributable to increased activity, including supply costs, related to Part 2 of our TYME-88-Panc trial and the Precision Promise Phase II/III trial.

 

o

Salary and salary related expenses for research and development personnel were $655,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, comparable to $644,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

o

Included in research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is $508,000 of stock based compensation expense related to stock options granted to research and development personnel compared to $670,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $162,000 between comparable periods.

 

General and administrative expenses were $3,057,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $3,393,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $336,000. The general and administrative expenses for the respective periods include:

 

o

Other general and administrative expenses were $2,496,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2,438,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

o

Stock based compensation expense related to stock options was $561,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $955,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $394,000, primarily attributable to fully vested grants.

Other income (expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had $3,263,000 non-cash expense relating to the change in fair value of the warrant liability during the period, compared to $2,938,000 of non-cash income for the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a $6,201,000 variance from the prior year period. See Item 1, Note 8 for details regarding changes in the fair value of the warrant liability.

For the three months June 30, 2020, the Company had a non-cash gain on warrant exchanges of $2,229,000 pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreements and the Warrant Exchange Agreement, see Item 1, Note 8 for additional details.

Table of Contents

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company had interest income on cash accounts of $10,000 and $80,000, respectively, and interest expense primarily related to the amortization of the severance payable discount of $29,000, compared to $33,000, respectively.

Adjusted net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $6,723,000 or $0.05 per share compared to $4,505,000 or $0.04 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019, after adjusting for change in fair value of warrant liability, amortization of employees, directors and consultants stock options and gain on warrant exchange. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are non-GAAP measures. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share as presented in this report are non-GAAP measures. The adjustments relate to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, amortization of employees, directors and consultants stock based compensation and gain on warrant exchange. These financial measures are presented on a basis other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP Measures"). In the reconciliation tables that follow, we present adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, reconciled to their comparable GAAP measures, net loss and net loss per share. These items are adjusted because they are not operational or because they are significant non-cash charges and management believes these adjustments are meaningful to understanding the Company's performance during the periods presented. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our definitions of adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per share may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

The Non-GAAP Measures for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 provide management with additional insight into the Company’s results of operations from period to period by excluding certain non-operational and non-cash charges, and are calculated using the following adjustments to net loss:

 

 

a)

The warrants issued as part of an equity offering on April 2, 2019 were measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo model which takes into account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock, its expected volatility, the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant and the estimates of the probability of fundamental transactions occurring.

 

20

 


Table of Contents

 

The May 2020 Warrant issued as part of the warrant exchange as described under the subheading “Historical Financings” below was measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes model which takes into account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock, its expected volatility, the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant and liquidity discounts for trading restrictions.

 

The warrant liability is revalued at each reporting period or upon exercise. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and are excluded from adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share.

 

 

b)

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair value of stock options granted. For employees and non-employees, the compensation expense is amortized over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. The expense is excluded from adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share.

 

 

c)

Gain on warrant exchange resulted from the difference in fair value of the warrants issued as part of the equity offering on April 2, 2019 before their exchange (as described under the subheading “Historical Financings” below) and the fair value of the common stock exchange shares and the May 2020 warrant granted pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreements and the Warrant Exchange Agreement, respectively.

 

Adjusted basic net loss per share is computed by dividing adjusted net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Company common stock outstanding for the period, and adjusted diluted loss per share is computed by also including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. During the periods presented, the calculation excludes any potential dilutive common shares and any equivalents as they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses for the periods then ended.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Requirements Outlook


We anticipate requiring additional capital to further fund the development of our product candidates, as well as to engage in potential partnerships or collaborations. The most significant funding needs are in connection with (i) conducting Part 2 of TYME-88-Panc, our pivotal trial, and participating in Precision Promise, an adaptive randomized Phase II/III trial with registration intent, which examine our lead compound SM-88 for patients with second- and third-line pancreatic cancer, (ii) participating in an investigator-initiated clinical trial of SM-88 in sarcoma, and (iii) conducting additional or related studies and investigations, including small-scale pre-clinical studies related to the mechanism of action of our lead clinical program SM-88 and other potential drug candidates. The greater scale of these trials is expected to lead to increased costs, including providing SM-88 for patient use. If we determine to move beyond the pre-clinical stage for any of our pre-clinical trials or if we pursue studies in other cancer types, our liquidity requirements will be increased. As discussed in the 2020 10-K, we are actively evaluating the expansion of our clinical program to hematological, breast, prostate and other cancers.

 

Primarily as a result of its active clinical trials, including timing of enrollment, as well as other business developments, the Company currently anticipates that its quarterly cash operating expense will average approximately $6.0 to $7.0 million during fiscal year 2021. Management expects that the Company’s net cash usage or net “cash burn” will be less than its operating costs.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $21.3 million and a working capital of approximately $16.9 million.

 

Management has concluded that substantial doubt does not exist regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations as they come due during the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financial statements. This conclusion is based on the Company’s assessment of qualitative and quantitative conditions and events, considered in aggregate as of the date of issuance of these financial statements that are known and reasonably knowable. Among other relevant conditions and events, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related government and economic responses, the Company has considered its operational plans, liquidity sources, obligations due or expected, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations, and potential adverse conditions or events as of the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through equity offerings of its common stock. We regularly evaluate opportunities to raise capital and obtain necessary, as well as opportunistic financing. To meet our short and long-term liquidity needs, we currently expect to use existing cash balances and a variety of other means, including potential issuances of debt or equity securities in public or private financings, option exercises, and partnerships and/or collaborations. The demand for the equity and debt of

 

21

 


Table of Contents

 

biopharmaceutical companies like ours is dependent upon many factors, including the general state of the financial markets. During times of extreme market volatility, capital may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain such additional capital could materially and adversely affect our business operations.

 

While we will continue to seek capital through a number of means, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and our negotiating position in capital generating efforts may worsen as existing resources are used.

 

 

Additional equity financing, which we expect to raise, may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business; and our stock price may not reach levels necessary to induce option exercises. If we are unable to raise the funds necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue the development of certain or all of our drug candidates or raise funds on terms that we currently consider unfavorable.

 

From time to time, we may also restructure our outstanding securities or seek to repurchase or redeem them if we

believe doing so would provide us with additional flexibility to raise capital or is otherwise in the best interests of the Company.

 

Historical Financings

 

On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eagle”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Eagle SPA”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a

milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of (i) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the TYME-88-Panc pivotal trial; (ii) achievement of the primary endpoint of overall survival in the PanCAN Precision PromiseSM SM-88 registration arm; or (iii) U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of SM-88 in any cancer indication. This payment would be split into a $10 million milestone cash payment and a $10 million investment in TYME at a 15% premium to the then prevailing market price. Eagle’s shares will be restricted from sale until the earlier of three months following the milestone event or the three-year anniversary of the agreement.

 

On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Jefferies, as the Company’s sales agent (the “Jefferies ATM”). The shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its previously filed and currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-211489). Any sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company raised approximately $1.3 million in gross proceeds via the sale of 891,944 shares of common stock under the Jefferies ATM. The Company incurred $0.1 million of related costs which offset such proceeds. As of June 30, 2020, there remained approximately $27.0 million of availability in the Jefferies ATM.

 

Prior to the Jefferies ATM, the Company had a similar facility with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (“Canaccord”) that was closed shortly before the opening of the Jefferies ATM. There was no activity in the Canaccord facility for the three month period ended June 30, 2019.

 

On April 2, 2019, the Company closed on an underwritten registered offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “April 2019 Warrants”) at a combined purchase price of $1.50 per share of common stock and accompanying warrant. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $11 million. The proceeds of the offering are being used for continued and new clinical trials, continued development of compounds, and other general corporate purposes. On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders (the “Holders”) of the April 2019 Warrants. The April 2019 Warrants were offered and issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-211489), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2017, a base prospectus dated August 16, 2017 and a prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2019.

Pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of Common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement (a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period.

 

The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include the price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the 2019 April Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant.

 

After such exchanges, the April 2019 Warrants no longer remained outstanding.
