JAGUAR HEALTH, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Business

 

Jaguar Health, Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”), formerly known as Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., was incorporated on June 6, 2013 (inception) in Delaware. The Company was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo” or the “Former Parent”) until the close of the Company’s initial public offering on May 18, 2015. The Company was formed to develop and commercialize first-in-class gastrointestinal products for companion and production animals and horses. The Company’s first commercial product, Neonorm Calf, was launched in 2014 and Neonorm Foal was launched in the first quarter of 2016. In September of 2016, the Company began selling the Croton lechleri botanical extract (the “botanical extract”) to an exclusive distributor for use in pigs in China. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding in order to timely compete the development and commercialization of products. The Company operates as one segmentmanages its operations through two segments—human health and animal health and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

 

On June 11, 2013, Jaguar issued 2,666,666 shares of common stock to Napo in exchange for cash and services. On July 1, 2013, Jaguar entered into an employee leasing and overhead agreement (the “Service Agreement”) with Napo, under which Napo agreed to provide the Company with the services of certain Napo employees for research and development and the general administrative functions of the Company. On January 27, 2014, Jaguar executed an intellectual property license agreement with Napo pursuant to which Napo transferred fixed assets and development materials, and licensed intellectual property and technology to Jaguar. On February 28, 2014, the Service Agreement terminated and the associated employees became employees of Jaguar effective March 1, 2014. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the capital contributions and Note 45 for the Service Agreement and license agreement details. Effective July 1, 2016, Napo agreed to reimburse the Company for the use of the Company’s employee’s time and related expenses, including rent and a fixed overhead amount to cover office supplies and copier use (Note 4)5).

 

On July 31, 2017, Jaguar completed a merger with Napo pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 31, 2017 by and among Jaguar, Napo, Napo Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Napo’s representative (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Napo, with Napo surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary.subsidiary (the “Merger” or “Napo Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Jaguar changed its name from “Jaguar Animal Health, Inc.” to “Jaguar Health, Inc.” Napo now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of Mytesi, a Napo drug product approved by the U.S. FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

 

The Company manages its operations through two segments—human health and animal health and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Liquidity

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $46,957,108$68,101,359 as of June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The Company expects to incur substantial losses in future periods. Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s ongoing development and commercialization efforts, as well as the securing of additional financing. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis.

 

The Company plans to finance its operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing, collaboration arrangements with other entities, as well as revenue from future product sales. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all, or that the Company will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund operating needs or ultimately achieve profitability. If the Company is unable to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of its products, the Company will need to curtail planned activities and reduce costs. Doing so will likely have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after issuance date of the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

In June 2016, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with a private investor (the “CSPA”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, the investor is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of the Company’s common stock over the approximately 30-month term of the agreement. Through June  30, 2017March 31, 2018 the Company sold 5,402,8596,000,000 shares for gross cash proceeds of $4,748,017.$5,063,785. The CSPA limitslimited the number of shares that the Company can sell thereunder to 2,027,490 shares, which equals 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of the date of the CSPA (such limit, the “19.99% exchange cap”), unless either (i) the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue more than such 19.99% exchange cap or (ii) the average price paid for all shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the CSPA is equal to or greater than $1.32 per share (the closing price on the date the CSPA was signed), in either case in compliance with Nasdaq Listing

Rule 5635(d). The Company held its

At the 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting on May 8, 2017. At the 2017, Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on the approval, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), of the issuance of an additional 3,555,514 shares of the Company’s common stock under the CSPA, which when combined with the 2,444,486 shares that the Company has already sold pursuant to the CSPA, equals an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted.  The balance sheet as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its financial statements and the accompanying notes. The accounting policies that reflect the Company’s more significant estimates and judgments and that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are valuation of stock options; valuation of warrant liabilities; valuation of derivative liability, impairment testing of goodwill, IPR&D, and long lived assets; useful lives for depreciation;depreciation and amortization; valuation adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory; allowance for doubtful accounts; deferred taxes and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; evaluation and measurement of contingencies; and recognition of revenue.revenue, including estimates for product returns. Those estimates could change, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs are costs incurred in filings of registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These deferred offering costs are offset against proceeds received upon the closing of the offerings. Deferred costs of $10,930 and $72,710 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, include legal, accounting and filing fees associated with the Company’s registration of unissued shares in the CSPA.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash is the financial instrument that potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk as cash is deposited with a bank and cash balances are generally in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The carrying value of cash approximates fair value at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

 

Fair Values

 

The Company’s financial instruments include, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, amounts due to Napo, the former parent, warrant liabilities, derivative liability, debt conversion option liability, and debt. Cash is reported at fair value. The recorded carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and amounts due to Napo approximatesreflect their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the interest-bearing debt approximates fair value based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. See Note 34 for the fair value measurements, and Note 78 for the fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities, derivative liability, and derivativedebt conversion option liability.

 

Restricted Cash

 

On August 18, 2015, the Company entered into a long-term loan and security agreement with a lender for up to $8.0 million, which, provided for an initialalong with subsequent loan commitment of $6.0 million. The loan agreementamendments, required the Company to maintain a base minimum cash balance of $4.5 million until the Company met certain milestones and/or when the Company begins making principal payments. On December 22, 2015, the Company achieved certain milestones and the base minimum cash balance was reduced to $3.0 million. Aggregate principal payments of $3.0 further reduced thevarying amounts.   The restricted cash balance related to the loan was $0 as of June 30, 2017. Restrictions were fully released on April 1, 2017.and $239,169 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.net realizeable value. The Company calculates inventory valuation adjustments when conditions indicate that market is less than cost due to physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future demand or reduction in selling price. Inventory write-downs are measured as the difference between the cost of inventory and market. There have been no write-downs to date.net realizeable value.

Land, Property and Equipment

 

Land is stated at cost, reflecting fair value of the property at July 31, 2017, the date of the merger with Napo.

Equipment isand furniture and fixtures are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Equipment begins to be depreciated when it is placed into service. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years.

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of assets are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in income (loss) from operations.the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company regularly reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of all of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. The determinants used for this evaluation include management’s estimate of the asset’s ability to generate positive income from operations and positive cash flow in future periods as well as the strategic significance of the assets to the Company’s business objectives.

 

ShouldDefinite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited, and are reviewed regularly for possible impairment.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and in between annual tests if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment exist,loss may have occurred. The test is based on a comparison of the reporting unit’s book value to its estimated fair market value. The Company performs annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year using the opening consolidated balance sheet as of the first day of the fourth quarter, with any resulting impairment recorded in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, the goodwill would be considered impaired and would be reduced to its fair value. The goodwill was entirely allocated to the human health reporting unit as the goodwill relates to the Napo Merger. The decline in market capitalization during the year ended December 31, 2017 was determined to be a triggering event for potential goodwill impairment. Accordingly the Company performed the goodwill impairment analysis. The Company utilized the market capitalization plus a reasonable control premium in the performance of its impairment test. The market capitalization was based on the outstanding shares and the average market share price for the 30 days prior to December 31, 2017. Based on the results of the Company’s impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16,827,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017. If the market capitalization decreases in the future, a reasonable possibility exists that goodwill could be further impaired in the near term and that such impairment may be material to the financial statements.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry and economic conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected revenues and income growth rates, terminal growth rates, competitive and consumer trends, market-based discount rates, and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates are not met or market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, this may lead to a further goodwill impairment in the future. Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) are intangible assets initially recognized at fair value and classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the development period, these assets will not be amortized as charges to earnings; instead these assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. We booked an impairment of $2,300,000 in the year ended December 31, 2017. The impairment loss would beis measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s fair value. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses through June 30, 2017.loss resulted from the Company’s termination of the clostridium dificil infection program.

 

Additionally, as goodwill and intangible assets associated with recently acquired businesses are recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated acquisition date fair values, those amounts are more susceptible to an impairment risk if business operating results or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate.

In connection with each annual impairment assessment and any interim impairment assessment in which indicators of impairment have been identified, the Company compares the fair value of the asset as of the date of the assessment with the carrying value of the asset on the consolidated balance sheet. If impairment is indicated by this test, the intangible asset is written down by the amount by which the discounted cash flows expected from the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value.

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities including related salaries, clinical trial and related drug and non-drug product costs, contract services and other outside service expenses. Research and development expense is charged to operating expense in the period incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, subtopic Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 605-25 Revenue with Multiple Element Arrangements and subtopic ASC 605-28 “ Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method 606”), which provides accounting guidance for revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and guidancewas adopted on definingJanuary 1, 2018, using the milestone and determining when the usemodified retrospective method, which was elected to apply to all contracts.  Application of the milestonemodified retrospective method did not impact amounts previously reported by the Company, nor did it require a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption, as the Company’s method of recognizing revenue recognitionunder ASC 606 was similar to the method utilized immediately prior to adoption.  Accordingly, there is no need for research and development transactions is appropriate, respectively. For multiple-element arrangements,the Company to dislose the amount by which each deliverable within a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement is accounted forfinancial statement line item was affected as a separate unitresult of accounting if bothapplying the new revenue standard and an explanation of the following criteria are met: (1) the delivered item or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis and (2) for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. If a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement is not deemed to have a stand-alone value, consideration received for such a deliverable is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement or the estimated performance period, and it will be periodically reviewed based on the progress of the related product development plan. The effect of a change made to an estimated performance period and therefore revenue recognized ratably would occur on a prospective basis in the period that the change was made.significant changes.

 

The Company recognizes revenue underin accordance with the core principal of ASC 606 or when there is a transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company recognized Neonorm revenues of $43,698 and $44,544 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and Botanical Extract revenues of $0 and $30,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenues are recognized when title has transferred to the buyer. Sales of Neonorm Calf and Foal to distributors are made under agreements that may provide distributor price adjustments and rights of return under certain circumstances. Until the Company develops sufficient sales historyReserves for returns are analyzed periodically and pipeline visibility, revenueare estimated based on historical return data.  Reserves for returns and costs of distributor sales will be deferred until products are sold by the distributor to the distributor’s customers. Revenue recognition depends on notification either directly from the distributor that product has been sold to the distributor’s customer, when the Company has access to the data. Deferred revenue on shipments to distributors reflect the estimated effects of distributor price adjustments if any,at March 31, 2018 and the estimated amount of gross margin expected to be realized when the distributor sells through product purchased from the Company.

Collaboration Revenue

 

On January 27, 2017, the Company entered into a licensing, development, co-promotion and commercialization agreement with Elanco US Inc. (“Elanco”) to license, develop and commercialize Canalevia, (“Licensed Product”), ourthe Company’s drug product candidate under investigation for treatment of acute and chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs, and other drug product formulations of crofelemer for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, conditions and symptoms in cats and other companion animals. The Company grants Elanco exclusive global rights to Canalevia, a product whose active pharmaceutical ingredient is sustainably isolated and purified from the Croton lechleri tree, for use in companion animals. Pursuant to the Elanco Agreement, Elanco will have exclusive rights globally outside the U.S. and co-exclusive rights with the Company in the U.S. to direct all marketing, advertising, promotion, launch and sales activities related to the Licensed Products.

Under the terms of the Elanco Agreement,agreement, the Company received an initial upfront payment of $2,548,689, inclusive of reimbursement of past product and development expenses of $1,048,689, which was recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated development period of one year resulting in $177,389 and will receive$459,700 in collaboration revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition to the upfront payments, Elanco reimbursed the Company for $0 and $288,166 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 for certain development and regulatory expenses related to the planned target animal safety study and the completion of the Canalevia field study for acute diarrhea in dogs which were also included in collaboration revenue.

On November 1, 2017, the Company received a letter from Elanco serving as formal notice of their decision to terminate the agreement by giving the Company 90 days written notice. According to the agreement, termination became effective on January 30, 2018, which is 90 days after the date of the Notice. On the effective date of termination of the Elanco Agreement, all licenses granted to Elanco by the Company under the Elanco Agreement were revoked and the rights granted thereunder reverted back to the Company. Provisions in the agreement providing for the receipt of additional payments upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones in an aggregate amount of up to $61.0 million payable throughout the term of the Elanco Agreement, as well as product development expense reimbursement for any additional product development expenses incurred, and royalty payments on global sales. The $61.0 million development and commercial milestones consist of $1.0 million for successful completion of a dose ranging study; $2.0 million for the first commercial sale of license product for acute indications of diarrhea; $3.0 million for the first commercial sale of a license product for chronic indications of diarrhea; $25.0 million for aggregate worldwide net sales of licensed products exceeding $100.0 million in a calendar year during the termterminated on termination of the agreement; and $30.0 million for aggregate worldwide net sales of licensed products exceeding $250.0 million in a calendar year during the terms of the agreement. Each of the development and commercial milestones are considered substantive. No revenues associated with the achievement of the milestones has been recognized to date. The Elanco Agreement specifies that the Company will supply the Licensed Products to Elanco, and that the parties will agree to set a minimum sales requirement that Elanco must meet to maintain exclusivity.  The $2,548,689 upfront payment, inclusive of reimbursement of past product and development expenses of $1,048,689 is recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated development period of one year resulting in $835,076 and $1,582,942 in collaboration revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 which are included in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The difference of $1,451,789 is included in deferred collaboration revenue in the Company’s balance sheet.

 

In addition to the upfront payments, Elanco reimburses the Company for certain development and regulatory expenses related to our planned target animal safety study and the completion of the Canalevia field study for acute diarrhea in dogs. These are recognized as revenue in the month in which the related expenses are incurred.  The Company has $197,876 of unreimbursed expenses as of June 30, 2017, which is included in Other Receivables on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company included the $197,876 and $486,042 in collaboration revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 which are included in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (see Note 10) provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards.

 

The Company measures stock awards granted to employees and directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes the corresponding compensation expense of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service periods, which correspond to the vesting periods of the awards. The Company issues stock awards with only service-based vesting conditions, and records compensation expense for these awards using the straight-line method.

The Company uses the grant date fair market value of its common stock to value both employee and non-employee options when granted. The Company revalues non-employee options each reporting period using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of each reporting period.

 

Classification of Securities

 

The Company applies the principles of ASC 480-10 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” to determine whether financial instruments such as warrants should be classified as liabilities or equity and whether beneficial conversion features exist. Financial instruments such as warrants that are evaluated to be classified as liabilities are fair valued upon issuance and are remeasured at fair value at subsequent reporting periods with the resulting change in fair value recorded in other income/(expense). The fair value of warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility and expected life.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss is defined as changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) exclusive of transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and distributions). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 thereThere was no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss.loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

ThePrior to the merger with Napo, the Company managesmanaged its operationsoperation as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company is anreorganized their segments to reflect the change in the organizational structure resulting from the merger with Napo. Post-merger with Napo, the Company manages its operations through two segments. The Company has two reportable segments—human health and animal health. The animal health companysegment is focused on developing and commercializing prescription and non-prescription products for companion and production animals. The human health segment is focused on developing and commercializing of human products and the ongoing commercialization of Mytesi™, which is approved by the U.S. FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares, including potential dilutive shares of common stock assuming the dilutive effect of potential dilutive securities. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share, because their impact would be anti-dilutive to the calculation of net loss per common share. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2016,July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for

Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception” (“ASU 2017-11”), which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. The amendments in Part I of this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”), which clarifies the scope of the nonfinancial asset guidance in Subtopic 610-20. This ASU also clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses and nonprofit activities (except those related to conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights or contracts with customers) should be accounted for in accordance with the derecognition and deconsolidation guidance in Subtopic 810-10. The amendments in this ASU also provide guidance on the accounting for what often are referred to as partial sales of nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 and contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other noncontrolled investee. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting reports beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Public entities may apply the guidance earlier but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 related to goodwill impairment testing. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Previously, if the fair value of a reporting unit was lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity was required to calculate any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). Additionally, under the new standard, entities that have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts will no longer be required to perform the qualitative assessment to determine whether to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts will generally be expected to pass the simplified impairment test; however, additional disclosure will be required of those entities. This ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The new guidance must be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company early adopted this ASU in 2017. For impact of the adoption of this standard, refer to Note 6 “Goodwill”.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-18, that will require entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. Entities will also have to disclose the nature of their restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent balances. ASU 2016-18 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption of this standard isdid not expected to have ana material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial positionstatements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entitiy Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. Under current GAAP, the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers (intercompany sales) are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or resultsotherwise recovered through use. This is an exception to the principle in ASC 740, Income Taxes, that generally requires comprehensive recognition of operations.current and deferred income taxes.  The new guidance eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The ASU will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years.  The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses the following cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years and are effective for all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 on ourCompany’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation2016-07, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 718)323): ImprovementsSimplifying the Transition to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspectsthe Equity Method of Accounting. This new standard eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the accounting for employee stock-based payment transactions. The areas for simplificationequity method as a result of an increase in ASU No. 2016-09 include the income tax consequences, classificationlevel of awards as either equityownership interest or liabilities, and classification on the statementdegree of cash flows. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Among other requirements, the new guidance requires all tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) toinfluence, an adjustment must be recorded through the income statement. Previously, tax benefits in excess of compensation cost (“windfalls”) were recorded in equity, and tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) were recorded in equitymade to the extentinvestment, results of operations and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous windfalls, and then toperiods that the income statement. Under the new guidance, the windfall tax benefit is to be recorded when it arises, subject to normal valuation allowance considerations.  The adoption of this standard did not have any impact to the Statement of Operations or the Statement of Cash Flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 or 2017.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no unrecognized deferred tax assets related to excess tax benefits, and as such, there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning accumulated deficit. Additionally, the treatment of forfeituresinvestment has not changed as the Company is electing to continue its current process of estimating the number of forfeitures. As such, this has no cumulative effect on accumulated deficit.

In March 2016, the FASB issuedbeen held. ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.  ASU 2016-06 clarifies that an entity will only need to consider the four-step decision sequence, as provided by the amended ASC 815-15-25-42, to assess whether the economic characteristics and risks of embedded put or call options are clearly related to those of their hosts. ASU 2016-162016-07 is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued forfiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016; accordingly, the2017. The Company adopted this guidance during 2017.on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which replaces the current leaseprovides guidance for accounting standard.for leases. Under ASU 2016-02, establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. LeasesCompany will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affectingrequired to recognize the pattern of expense recognition inassets and liabilities for the statements of operations. The new standardrights and obligations created by leased assets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standardadoption of ASU 2016-02 on itsour consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09), and subsequently issued modifications or clarifications in ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The objective ofrevenue recognition principle in ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and

will supersede most of the existing revenue recognitionrelated guidance including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new standard is that revenuean entity should be recognizedrecognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. TheASU 2014-09 prescribes a five-step process for evaluating contracts and determining revenue recognition. In addition, new and enhanced disclosures are required. Companies may adopt the new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows for prospective or retrospective application. The Company currently anticipates utilizingeither using the full retrospective approach, a modified retrospective approach with practical expedients, or a cumulative effect upon adoption approach. The Company has completed the process of evaluating the effects of the adoption of Topic 606 and determined that the timing and measurement of our revenues under the new standard is similar to that recognized under the previous revenue guidance. Similar to the current guidance, the Company will need to make significant estimates related to variable consideration at the point of sale, including chargebacks, rebates and product returns. Revenue will be recognized at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the Company’s products, which occurs upon delivery for substantially all of the Company’s sales. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018, by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings as prescribed by the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption allowedof ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 did not have a material impact on Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combination

As discussed in Note 1—Organization and Business, the Company completed a merger with Napo on July 31, 2017. Napo now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of Mytesi, a Napo drug product approved by the standard,U.S. FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in orderadults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

The merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and Jaguar was considered to provide for comparative resultsbe the acquiring company. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total consideration exchanged was:

Under the acquisition method of accounting, certain identifiable assets and plans to adopt the standardliabilities of Napo including identifiable intangible assets, inventory, debt and deferred revenue were recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the effective time of the Napo Merger. Tangible and other assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying amounts, which management believes approximate their fair values.

The Developed Technology (DT) is for the development and commercial processing of Mytesi™ (crofelemer 125mg delayed-release tablets), which is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy. The DT is a definite lived asset and is being amortized over a 15-year estimated useful life.

The acquired trademarks include Mytesi product trademark, domain names, and other brand related intellectual property. Trademark is a definite lived asset and is being amortized over a 15-year estimated useful life.

The acquired IPR&D projects relate to developing the proprietary technology into a commercially viable product for the several follow-on indications related to formulations of crofelemer. Crofelemer is in development for rare disease indications for infants and children with congenital diarrheal disorders (CDD) and short bowel syndrome (SBS), and for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These indications have completed some studies of clinical testing for safety and/or proof of concept efficacy at the time of the merger and the projects were determined to have substance. IPR&D is not amortized during the development period and is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. The Company terminated development of the indication for C. difficile infection (CDI) in Q4 2017. This indication was included as part of IPR&D at the time of the merger, and an impairment loss of $2,300,000 was recorded as a result of the decision to abandon the project in favor of the prioritization of the following: Mytesi is in development for follow-on indications in cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD), an important supportive care indication for patients undergoing primary or adjuvant therapy for cancer treatment; as supportive care for post-surgical inflammatory bowel disease patients (IBD); and as a second-generation anti-secretory agent for use in cholera patients. These indications did not have substance at the time of the merger and were not recognized as an asset apart from Goodwill.

The fair value of IPR&D, trademark, and DT was determined using the income approach, which was based on forecasts prepared by management.

The Napo Merger resulted in $22,037,821 of goodwill relating principally to synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations and planned growth in new markets. Goodwill has been allocated to the human health segment.

As none of the goodwill, IPR&D, and developed technology acquired are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, it was determined that a deferred income tax liability of $14,498,120 was required to reflect the book to tax differences of the merger. A deferred tax asset of $1,316,878 was accounted as an element of consideration for the replacement share-based payment awards as the replacement awards are expected to result in a future tax deduction.

The Company valued finished goods using a net realizable value approach, which resulted in a step-up of $84,806. Raw material was valued using the replacement cost approach.

The Company valued convertible debt assumed in the Napo Merger based on the value of the debt and the conversion option at $12,473,501 (see note 8). The Company incurred total acquisition related costs of $3,554,250. The acquisition related costs includes the fair value of $151,351 for 270,270 shares of Company’s common stock issued to a former creditor of Napo towards reimbursement of acquisition related costs. Acquisition related costs were expensed as incurred to general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The following table provides unaudited proforma results, prepared in accordance with ASC 805, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, as if Napo was acquired on January 1, 2018.2016.

3.4. Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

·                  Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

·                  Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

 

·                  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The following table presents information about the Company’s derivative, conversion option and warrant liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 20162017 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation:

Warrant Liability

 

The warrants associated with the level 3 liability were issued in 2016 and were originally valued on November 29, 2016 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.69, exercise price of $0.75, term of 5.5 years expiring May 2022, volatility of 71.92%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.87%. The $103,860 valuation at December 31, 2017 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $0.1398, the strike price was $0.75 per share, the expected life was 4.41 years, the volatility was 96.36% and the risk free rate was 2.14%. The $192,960 valuation at March 31, 2018 was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model using a stock price of $0.195, the strike price was $0.75 per share, the expected life was 4.16 years, the volatility was 109.62% and the risk free rate was 2.49%. The resulting $89,100 loss is included in change in fair value of warrants in the statement of income and comprehensive loss.

Derivative Liability

The derivative liability associated with the level 3 liability were associated with the June 2017 issuance of a convertible note payable. The Company computed fair values at the date of issuance of $15,000 and $5,000 for the repayment and the interest rate increase feature, respectively, using the Binomial Lattice Model, which was based on the generalized binomial option pricing formula. The $20,000 combined fair value was carved out and is included as a derivative liability on the Balance Sheet. The derviatives were revalued at December 31, 20162017 using the same Model resulting in a combined fair value of $11,000. The resulting $9,000 gain is included in other income and expense in the Company’s statement of income and comprehensive loss. The derviatives were revalued again at March 31, 2018 using the same Model resulting in a combined fair value of $15,000. The resulting $4,000 loss is included in other income and expense in the Company’s statement of income and comprehensive loss.

Conversion Option Liability

In March 2017, Napo entered into an exchangeable note purchase agreement with two lenders for the funding of face amount of $1,312,500 in two $525,000 tranches of face amount $656,250. The Company assumed the notes at fair value of $1,312,500 as part of the Napo Merger. In December 2017, Napo amended the exchangeable note purchase agreement to extend the maturity of the first tranche and second tranche of notes to February 15, 2018 and April 1, 2018, respectively, increase the principal amount by 12%, and reduce the conversion price from $0.56 per share to $0.20 per share. The Company also issued 2,492,084 shares of common stock to the lenders in connection with this amendment to partially redeem $299,050 from the first tranche of the notes. The optional conversion option in the notes was bifurcated and accounted as a derivative liability at its fair value of $111,841 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model withand the following assumptions:criteria: stock price of $0.716, exercise price$0.14 per share, conversion prices of $0.75, term$0.20 per share, expected life of 5.410.13 to 0.25 years, expiring May 2022, volatility of 73.62%86.29% to 160.78%, risk free rate of 1.28% to 1.39% and dividend yieldrate of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 2.0%. The warrants were$111,841 was included in conversion option liability on the balance sheet and in loss on extinguishment of debt on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the conversion option liability was again revalued at June 30, 2017March 23, 2018 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model withusing the following assumptions:criteria: stock price of $0.53, exercise price$0.21 per share, expected life of $0.75, term of 4.910.11 years, expiring May 2022, volatility of 80.51%288.16%, risk free rate of 1.69% and dividend yieldrate of 0%, and risk-free interest rateresulting in an increase of 1.87%.

Royalty payable to former parent and license fee payable to former parent and related agreement

 

On July 11, 2013, Jaguar entered into an option to license Napo’s intellectual property and technology (the “Option Agreement”). Under the Option Agreement, upon the payment of $100,000 in July 2013, the Company obtained an option for a period of two years to execute an exclusive worldwide license to Napo’s intellectual property and technology to use for the Company’s animal health business. The option price was creditable against future license fees to be paid to Napo under the License Agreement (as defined below).

 

In January 2014, the Company exercised its option and entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Napo for an exclusive worldwide license to Napo’s intellectual property and technology to permit the Company to develop, formulate, manufacture, market, use, offer for sale, sell, import, export, commercialize and distribute products for veterinary treatment uses and indications for all species of animals. The Company was originally obligated to pay a one-time non-refundable license fee of $2,000,000, less the option fee of $100,000. At the Company’s option, the license fee could have been paid in common stock. In January 2015, the License Agreement was amended to decrease the one-time non-refundable license fee payable from $2,000,000 to $1,750,000 in exchange for acceleration of the payment of the fee. Given that Napo iswas a significant shareholder of the Company, the abatement of the license fee amount has beenwas recorded as a capital contribution in the accompanying condensed financial statements. The Company paid the final $425,000 in the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2016.

 

Milestone payments aggregating $3,150,000 maywere also bepotentially due to Napo based on regulatory approvals of various veterinary products. In addition to the milestone payments, the Company willwould owe Napo an 8% royalty on annual net sales of products derived from the Croton lechleri tree, up to $30,000,000 and then, a royalty of 10% on annual net sales of $30,000,000 or more. Additionally, if any other products are developed, the Company willwould owe Napo a 2% royalty on annual net sales of pharmaceutical prescription

products that are not derived from Croton lechleri and a 1% royalty on annual net sales of non-prescription products that are not derived from Croton lechleri. The royalty term expires at the longer of 10 years from the first sale of each individual product or when there is no longer a valid patent claim covering any of the products and a competitive product has entered the market. However, because an IPO of at least $10,000,000 was consummated prior to December 31, 2015, the royalty was reduced to 2% of annual net sales of its prescription products derived from Croton lechleri and 1% of net sales of its non-prescription products derived from Croton lechleri and no milestone payment will be due and no royalties will be owed on any additional products developed.

 

The Company had unpaid royalties of $171 at December 31, 2016, which are netted with other receivables due from former parent in current assets in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company incurred $663$284 in royalties in the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31,  2017, which are included in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive loss, and paid $455$447 to Napo in the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2017. The remaining balance of unpaid royalties of $379$7 are netted with other receivables due from the former parent and are included in current assets in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company may, at its sole discretion, elect to remit any milestone payments and/or royalties in the form of the Company’s common stock.

 

In addition to receiving a License Agreement to Napo’s intellectual property and technology, the License also transferred toMarch 2018, the Company certain materialsentered into a stock purchase agreement with Sagard Capital Partners, L.P. pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement, agreed to issue and equipment. Raw materialssell to Sagard 5,524,926 shares of $1.2 million transferred from Napo were included in research and development expense on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2014. Equipment of $811,087 related to the License is included in property and equipment on the Company’s balance sheet at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 at the cost paid by Napo, which approximates fair value.

The Company has agreed under the License Agreement to defend, indemnify and hold Napo, its affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, consultants and contractorsseries A convertible participating preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, for an aggregate purchase price of Napo harmless from and against any losses, costs, damages, liabilities, fees and expenses arising out of any third-party claim related to the Company’s gross negligence, breach of covenants or the manufacture, sale or use$9,199,001. As part of the product or products.agreement, Sagard will provide consulting and management advisory services in exchange for $450,000 in annual consulting fees, not to exceed $1,350,000 in aggregate payments.

Legal Proceedings

On July 20, 2017, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Civil Action No. 3:17-cv-04102, by Tony Plant (the “Plaintiff”) on behalf of shareholders of the Company who held shares on June 30, 2017 and were entitled to vote at the 2017 Special Shareholders Meeting, against the Company and certain individuals who were directors as of the date of the vote (collectively, the “Defendants”), in a matter captioned Tony Plant v. Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., et al., making claims arising under Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9, 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9, promulgated thereunder by the SEC. The claims allege false and misleading information provided to investors in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (File No. 333-217364) declared effective by the Commission on July 6, 2017 related to the solicitation of votes from shareholders to approve the merger and certain transactions related thereto. The Company accepted service of the complaint and summons on behalf of itself and the United States-based director Defendants on November 1, 2017. The Company has not accepted service on behalf of, and Plaintiff has not yet served, the non-U.S.-based director Defendants. On October 3, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking appointment as lead plaintiff and appointment of Monteverde & Associates PC as lead counsel. That motion has been granted. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint against the Company and the United States-based director Defendants on January 10, 2018. If the Plaintiff were able to prove its allegations in this matter and to establish the damages it asserts, then an adverse ruling could have a material impact on the Company. However, the Company disputes the claims asserted in this putative class action case and is vigorously contesting the matter. On March 12, 2018, the Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.  The Company believes that it is not probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of any potential loss is not reasonably estimable. The court has ordered a briefing schedule on the motion to dismiss and has tentatively set a hearing date of June 14, 2018.

Other than as described above, there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings (other than those noted above) arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes there is no litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

From July through September 2013, the Company issued four convertible promissory notes (collectively the “Notes”) for gross aggregate proceeds of $525,000 to various third-party lenders. The Notes bore interest at 8% per annum. The Notes automatically matured and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest, was due and payable in cash at the earlier of July 8, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) or ten business days after the date of consummation of the initial closing of a first equity round of financing.

The Note provides for two separate features that result in a derivative liability:

 

1.                                      Repayment of mandatory default amount upon an event of default — default—upon the occurrence of any event of default, the lendor may accelerate the Note resulting in the outstanding balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash; and

 

2.                                      Automatic increase in the interest rate on and during an event of default — default—during an event of default, the interest rate will increase to the lesser of 17% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

The Company computed fair values at June 30, 2017 of $15,000 and $5,000 for the repayment and the interest rate increase feature, respectively, using the Binomial Lattice Model, which was based on the generalized binomial option pricing formula. The $20,000 combined fair value was carved out and is included as a derivative liability on the Balance Sheet.

In connection with the Bridge, the lenders were granted warrants to purchase 178,569 shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $1.0 million by the exercise price of 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. The fair value of the warrants, $505,348, was originally recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 3, 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $5.01, exercise price of $5.23, term of five years expiring December 2019, volatility of 63%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.61%. Based on the circumstances, the value derived using the Black-Scholes-Merton model approximated that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was recorded as interest expense over the six month term of the Bridge. The Company fully extinguished the debt and accrued interest in May 2015.

Standby Line of Credit

In August 2014, the Company entered into a standby line of credit with an accredited investor for up to $1.0 million pursuant to a Line of Credit and Loan Agreement dated August 26, 2014. In connection with the entry into the standby line of credit, the Company issued the lender a fully vested warrant to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015, which expires in August 2016. The fair value of the warrants, $114,300, was recorded as interest expense and additional paid-in capital in August 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $8.00, exercise price of $6.40, term of two years, volatility of 52%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 0.52%. The line of credit expired on March 31, 2015 and there were no drawdowns under the facility. The warrants expired in August 2016.

Long term Debt

In August 2015, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender for up to $8.0 million, which provided for an initial loan commitment of $6.0 million. The loan agreement requires the Company to maintain $4.5 million of the proceeds in cash, which may be reduced or eliminated on the achievement of certain milestones. An additional $2.0 million is available contingent on the achievement of certain further milestones. The agreement has a term of three years, with interest only payments through February 29, 2016. Thereafter, principal and interest payments will be made with an interest rate of 9.9%. Additionally, there will be a

balloon payment of $560,000$600,000 on August 1, 2018.2018 (as modified in the third amendment to the Loan Agreement). This amount is being recognized over the term of the loan agreement and the effective interest rate, considering the balloon payment, is 15.0%. Proceeds to the Company were net of a $134,433 debt discount under the terms of the loan agreement. This debt discount is being recorded as interest expense, using the interest method, over the term of the loan agreement. Under the agreement, the Company is entitled to prepay principal and accrued interest upon five days prior notice to the lender. In the event of prepayment, the Company is obligated to pay a prepayment charge. If such prepayment is made during any of the first twelve months of the loan agreement, the prepayment charge will be (a) during such time as the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 2% of the minimum cash balance amount plus 3% of the difference between the amount being prepaid and the minimum cash balance, and (b) after such time as the Company is no longer required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 3% of the amount being prepaid. If such prepayment is made during any time after the first twelve months of the loan agreement, 1% of the amount being prepaid.

 

On April 21, 2016, the loan and security was amended upon which the Company repaid $1.5 million of the debt out of restricted cash. The amendment modified the repayment amortization schedule providing a four-month period of interest only payments for the period from May through August 2016.

 

On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Loan Agreement upon which the Company paid $1.0 million of the outstanding loan balance, and the Lender waived the Prepayment Charge associated with such prepayment. The Third Amendment modified the repayment schedule providing a three-month period of interest only payments for the period from August 2017 through October 2017, and reduced the required cash amount that the Company must keep on hand to $500,000, which will be reduced following the Lender’s receipt of each principal repayment subsequent to the $1.0 million. As the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the third amendment is less than 10% different from the remaining cash flows under the terms of the loan agreement prior to the amendment, the third amendment was accounted as a debt modification.

On March 23, 2018, the Company paid off the remaining $689,345 of principal, $4,471 of interest, and the end-of-term payment of $600,000 in cash with proceeds from the March 23, 2018 equity financing.

10.  Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company’s secondthird amended and restated certificate of incorporation dated July 31, 2017 authorizes the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock $0.0001 par value. No

In March 2018, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Sagard Capital Partners, L.P. pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement, agreed to issue and sell to Sagard 5,524,926 shares of the Company’s series A convertible participating preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,199,001. Each share of preferred stock is initially convertible into nine shares of common stock at the option of the holder at an effective conversion price of $0.185 per share (based on an original price per Preferred Share of $1.665), provided that, at any time prior to the time the Company obtains stockholder approval, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) any conversion of Preferred Stock by a holder into shares of the Common Stock would be prohibited if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with such holder’s attribution parties, would beneficially own more than 19.99% of the total number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to such conversion. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the shares of Preferred Stock cannot be offered, pledged or sold by Sagard for one year from the date of issuance. The conversion price is subject to certain adjustments in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization.

Holders of the Series A shares are entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of common stock shares in all dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of the common stock as if, immediately prior to each record date of the common stock, the shares of Series A then outstanding were converted into shares of common stock.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or deemed liquidation event, the holders of Series A shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Company before any payment shall be made to the holders of common stock or shares of any series or class of preferred or other capital stock then outstanding that by its terms is junior to the Series A in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon such liquidation event by reason of their ownership, an amount per share of Series A equal to one (1) times the Series A original issue price.

The redemption and liquidation value of the series A preferred stock is $12,738,822 and $9,199,002, respectively. If a Redemption Event occurs as of the Measurement Date (the later of April 30, 2021 and the date on which the Company files its Form 10-Q for the three months ending March 31, 2021, but in no event later than June 30, 2021), the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A then outstanding may require the Company to redeem all Series A shares at a per share purchase price equal to $2.3057; any one of the following conditions can result in a Redemption Event that is not solely within the Company’s control: Revenues attributable to the Mytesi product for the six-month period ended March 31, 2021 are less than $22m or the average VWAP for the Company’s common stock for the 30 days prior to a Measurement Date is less than $1.00.

The effective conversion price is $0.185 per share while the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the commitment date was $0.205 per share based on the closing price of common stock on March 23, 2018.  As a result, the Company determined that there is a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) amounting to approximately $995,000, which is computed by taking the difference between the closing price of the stock on March 23, 2018 and the conversion price multiplied by the as if converted 49,724,334 shares (5,524,926 preferred shares multiplied by the conversion factor of 9).  The Company’s Series A shares do not have a stated conversion date and are immediately convertible at the issuance date. As such, the Company will record an accretion of the BCF to net loss. Based on the guidance above, the Company recorded a deemed dividend charge of $995,000 for the accretion of the discount on the Series A shares.  The deemed dividend was a non-cash transaction and is reflected below net loss to arrive at net loss available to common stockholders on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2018, there were 5,524,926 and 0 shares of convertible preferred stock were issued orand outstanding at June 30, 2017 orMarch 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

The preferred stock has been classified outside of stockholders’ equity in accordance with authoritative guidance for the classification and measurement of potentially redeemable securities.

The Company granted RSUs in 2014 and 2015 under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The units granted vest upon the occurrence of both a liquidity event and satisfaction of the service-based requirement. The time-based vesting provided that 50% of the RSU vested on January 1, 2016 and the remaining 50% vested on July 1, 2017. The Company began recording stock-based compensation expense relating to the RSU grants effective May 18, 2015, the date of the Company’s initial public offering, and the date the liquidity condition was met. The stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value which is the equivalent to the fair market value on the date of grant, and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method, net of estimated forfeitures. On January 1, 2016, the Company issued 17,546 shares of its common stock in exchange for 27,768 vested and released RSUs, net of 10,172 RSU shares used to pay withholding taxes.  On July 3, 2017, the Company issued 13,307 shares of its common stock in exchange for 20,789 vested and released RSUs, net of 7,086 RSU shares used to pay withholding taxes.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included when their effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities which include stock options, convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

 

The following outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Overview

 

Jaguar Health, Inc. isWe are a commercial stage natural-products pharmaceuticals company focused on the development and commercialization ofdeveloping novel, sustainably derived gastrointestinal products for both human prescription use and animals on a global basis. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), focuses on the developmentdeveloping and commercialization ofcommercializing proprietary human gastrointestinal pharmaceuticals for the global marketplace from plants used traditionally in rainforest areas. Our Mytesi (crofelemer) product is currently indicatedapproved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patientsadults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Jaguar estimates the potential U.S. market for Mytesi to be approximately $100 million in gross annual sales, and anticipates that Mytesi will generate approximately $7.0 million in revenue by April 2018 for its current, FDA-approved specialty indication. Jaguar holds global unencumbered right to key indications for Mytesi, and is pursuing a follow-on indication for Mytesi in chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID), an important supportive care indication for patients undergoing primary or adjuvant chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Mytesi is in development as a second-generation anti-secretory agent for use in cholera patients; for supportive care for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as well as for orphan-drug indications for infants and children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) and congenital diarrheal disorders (CDD). Mytesi has shown activity in IBS-D patients in published Phase 2 studies. Napo recently received orphan-drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of SBS.

therapy. In the field of animal health, space, we focusare focused on developing and commercializing first-in-class gastrointestinal products for companion and production animals, foals, and high value horses. Canalevia is our lead prescription drug product candidate, intended for treatment

Jaguar was founded in San Francisco, California as a Delaware corporation on June 6, 2013. Napo formed Jaguar to develop and commercialize animal health products. Effective as of various formsDecember 31, 2013, Jaguar was a wholly-owned subsidiary of diarrhea in dogs. we achieved statistically significant results in a multicenter canine proof-of-concept study completed in February 2015, supporting the conclusion that Canalevia treatment is superior to placebo. As we announced in December 2015, the pivotal clinical field study to evaluate the safetyNapo, and, effectiveness of Canalevia for acute diarrhea in dogs completed enrollment in January 2017. We have received Minor Use in a Minor Species (MUMS) designation for Canalevia for Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea (CID) in dogs, and Jaguar is pursuing MUMS designation for Canalevia for the indication of exercise-induced diarrhea (EID) in dogs. Canalevia is a canine-specific formulation of crofelemer, an active pharmaceutical ingredient isolated and purified from the Croton lechleri tree, which is sustainably harvested. A human-specific formulation of crofelemer, Mytesi, was approved by the FDA in 2012 for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy. Members of our management team developed crofelemer while at Napo, which was Jaguar Health’s parent company until May 13, 2015. The reception among users2015, Jaguar was a majority-owned subsidiary of our lead non-prescription products—Neonorm Calf and Neonorm Foal, an anti-diarrheal product we launched for newborn horses in early 2016—has been quite positive, and in June 2017 we launched neonorm.com, a commercial website for both Neonorm products. As we announced on June 14, 2017, the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) has reviewed Neonorm Calf and determined that it is allowed for use in compliance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Organic Program. OMRI is an international nonprofit organization that determines which input products are allowed for use in organic production and processing.

The clinically-proven performance of Neonorm Foal, in combination with our heightened understanding of market needs within the global equine space, is driving our increased focus on equine product development. Equilevia is our non-prescription product for total gut health in equine athletes. Equilevia is a pharmaceutical formulation of a standardized botanical extract. Neonorm is a standardized botanical extract derived from the Croton lechleri tree. We launched Neonorm Calf in the United States at the end of 2014 for preweaned dairy calves. Canalevia, Equilevia and Neonorm are distinct products formulated to address specific species and market channels. We have filed nine investigational new animal drug applications, or INADs, with the FDA and intend to develop species-specific formulations of Neonorm in six additional target species, and Canalevia for both cats and dogs.

As we announced in December 2016, we signed a distribution agreement with Henry Schein, Inc., the world’s largest provider of health care products and services to office-based dental, animal health and medical practitioners, for exclusive distribution of our Neonorm Foal product to all segments of the U.S. equine market. Henry Schein’s animal health business, Dublin, Ohio-based Henry Schein Animal Health, employs approximately 900 team members and had 2015 net sales of $2.9 billion. The agreement became effective on December 9, 2016, and, subject to provisions specified in the agreement, shall continue in force for an initial period of

one year. Thereafter, unless either party notifies the other of its intent not to renew the term of the agreement at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term, the term shall be automatically renewed upon expiration for successive renewal terms of one year.

In July 2016 we released data from two China-based studies sponsored by Fresno, California-based Integrated Animal Nutrition and Health Inc. showing remarkable resolution of diarrhea and cure of piglets afflicted with diarrhea following treatment with a Croton lechleri botanical extract administered in water. As we announced in September 2016, we signed an exclusive supply and distribution agreement for this botanical extract with Integrated Animal Nutrition and Health Inc. for dairy cattle and pigs in the Chinese marketplace. According to Index Muni, swine production is projected to reach 672.5 million head in 2017 in China, where pork is still the main protein source for many consumers. According to New Zealand-based NZX Agri, in 2017 there will be seven million cows “in milk” (lactating cows) in China. Integrated Animal Nutrition and Health, Inc. has minimum purchase requirements of the botanical extract to maintain their exclusivity.

Since inception, we have been primarily focused on designing and conducting studies of Canalevia to treat diarrhea in dogs and of Neonorm to help retain fluid in calves and to function as an anti-diarrheal in foals. We are also focused on developing a full suite of equine products to support and improve gastrointestinal health in foals and adult horses. Gastrointestinal conditions such as acute diarrhea, ulcers and diarrhea associated with acute colitis can be extremely debilitating for horses, and present a significant economic and emotional burden for veterinarians and owners around the world. A portion of our activities has also been focused on other efforts associated with being a recently formed company, including securing necessary intellectual property, recruiting management and key employees, and financing activities.

Merger with Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Napo. On July 31, 2017, we completed a merger with Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 31, 2017 by and among Jaguar, Napo, Napo Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Napo’s representative (the “Merger Agreement”).  In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the merger Merger Sub merged with and into Napo, with Napo surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Immediately following the Merger, we changed our name from “Jaguarof Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. and Napo became effective, at which point Jaguar Animal Health’s name changed to “JaguarJaguar Health, Inc. and Napo now operatesbegan operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of, Mytesi, a Napo drug product approved by the U.S. FDAand development of follow-on indications for, the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.Mytesi.

 

In connection withWith the merger (i) each issued and outstanding share of Napo common stock (other than dissenting shares and shares held by us or Napo) was converted into a contingent righteffective, we believe that our newly combined company is poised to receive (x) up to a whole number of shares of our common stock comprising in the aggregate up to approximately 20.2% of the fully diluted shares of our common stock immediately following the consummation of the merger, which contingent right will vest only if the resale of certain shares of our common stock (the “Tranche A Shares”) issued by us to Nantucket Investments Limited (“Nantucket”) pursuant to the Napo debt settlement provides Nantucket with specified cash returns over a specified period of time (the “Hurdle Amounts”), and (y) if the applicable Hurdle Amount is achieved before all of the Tranche A Shares are sold, additional shares of our common stock (equal to 50% of the unsold Tranche A Shares), which will be distributed pro rata among holders of contingent rights and holders of Napo restricted stock units, (ii) existing creditors of Napo (inclusive of Nantucket)  were issued in the aggregate approximately 42,903,018 shares of our non-voting common stock and 2,282,445 shares of our voting common stock in full satisfaction of all existing indebtedness then owed by Napo to such creditors, and (iii) an existing Napo stockholder (“Invesco”) was issued an aggregate of approximately 3,243,243 shares of our common stock in return for $3 million of new funds invested in us by such investor, which were immediately loaned to Napo to partially facilitate the extinguishment of the debt that Napo owed to Nantucket. The minimum Hurdle Amount needed for the vesting of the contingent rights will vary depending onrealize a number of factors (including, among other things, the time period oversynergistic, value adding benefits—and an expanded pipeline of potential blockbuster human follow-on indications, a second-generation anti-secretory agent, as well as a pipeline of important animal indications for crofelemer, upon which Nantucket receives specified cash returns in connection with the resaleto build global partnerships. As previously announced, Jaguar, through Napo, now controls commercial rights for Mytesi for all indications, territories and patient populations globally, and crofelemer manufacturing is being conducted at a new, multimillion-dollar commercial manufacturing facility that has been FDA-inspected and approved. Additionally, several of the Tranche A Shares), and Napo stockholders may not receive any shares of Jaguar common stockdrug product candidates in certain circumstances (including if the minimum Hurdle Amount is not satisfied).Jaguar’s Mytesi pipeline are backed by strong Phase 2 evidence from completed Phase 2 trials.

 

We expectMytesi is a novel, first-in-class anti-secretory agent which has a basic normalizing effect locally on the gut, and this mechanism of action has the potential to incur significant expensesbenefit multiple disorders. Mytesi is in connectiondevelopment for multiple possible follow-on indications, including cancer therapy-related diarrhea; orphan-drug indications for infants and children with the merger of Jaguar Animal Healthcongenital diarrheal disorders and Napo. While we have assumed thatshort bowel syndrome (SBS); supportive care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); and as a certain level of expenses will be incurred, there are many factors that could affect the total amount or the timing of the merger expenses, and many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate. These expenses could resultsecond-generation anti-secretory agent for use in the combined company taking significant charges against earnings following the completion of the merger. The ultimate amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at the present time. We incurred approximately $3.6 million in professional and other fees associated with the proposed merger through July 31, 2017.cholera patients. Mytesi has received orphan-drug designation for SBS.

 

Financial Operations Overview

 

We were incorporated in June 2013 in Delaware. Napo formed our company to develop and commercialize animal health products. Prior to our incorporation, the only activities of Napo related to animal health were limited to the retention of consultants to evaluate potential strategic alternatives. We were previously a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo. However, following the closing of our May 2015 initial public offering, we are no longer majority-owned by Napo.

WeOn July 31, 2017, Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., or Jaguar, completed a merger with Napo pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 31, 2017 by and among Jaguar, Napo, Napo Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Napo’s representative (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the completion of the merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Napo, with Napo surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary. Immediately following the Napo Merger, Jaguar changed its name from “Jaguar Animal Health, Inc.” to “Jaguar Health, Inc.” Napo now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of Mytesi, a Napo drug product approved by the U.S. FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

On a consolidated basis, we have not yet generated any materialenough revenue to date to achieve break even or positive cash flow, and we expect to continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses. Our net loss and comprehensive loss was $6.5 million$5,696,637 and $7.6 million$4,715,358 for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had total stockholders’ equity of $30,007,647, accumulated deficit of $6.3 million$68,101,359, and cash and cash equivalents of $2.8 million.$7,808,324. We expect to continue to incur losses and experience increased expenditures for the foreseeable future as we expand our product development activities, seek necessary approvals for our product candidates, conduct species-specific formulation studies for our non-prescription products, establish API manufacturing capabilities and begin additional commercialization activities.

We recognizeThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, subtopic Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 605-25 “ Revenue with Multiple Element Arrangements “ and subtopic ASC 605-28 “ Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method 606”), which provides accounting guidance for revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and guidancewas adopted on definingJanuary 1, 2018, using the milestone and determining when the usemodified retrospective method, which was elected to apply to all contracts.  Application of the milestonemodified retrospective method did not impact amounts previously reported by the Company, nor did it require a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption, as the Company’s method of recognizing revenue recognition for research and development transactions is appropriate, respectively. For multiple-element arrangements, each deliverable within a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the delivered item or items have valueunder ASC 606 was similar to the customer on a standalone basis and (2)method utilized immediately prior to adoption.  Accordingly, there is no need for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relativethe Company to dislose the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. If a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement is not deemed to have a stand-alone value, consideration received for such a deliverable is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement or the estimated performance period, and it will be periodically reviewed based on the progress of the related product development plan. The effect of a change made to an estimated performance period and therefore revenue recognized ratably would occur on a prospective basis in the period that the changeamount by which each financial statement line item was made.

We recognize revenue under its licensing, development, co-promotion and commercialization agreement from milestone payments when: (i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievability has substantive uncertainty at the inception of the agreement, and (ii) it does not have ongoing performance obligations related to the achievement of the milestone earned. Milestone payments are considered substantive if all of the following conditions are met: the milestone payment (a) is commensurate with either our performance subsequent to the inception of the arrangement to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item or itemsaffected as a result of applying the new revenue standard and an explanation of significant changes.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principal of ASC 606 or when there is a specific outcome resulting from our performance subsequenttransfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

On November 1, 2017, the Company received a letter from Elanco serving as formal notice of their decision to terminate the agreement by giving the Company 90 days written notice. According to the agreement, termination became effective on January 30, 2018, which is 90 days after the date of the Notice. On the effective date of termination of the Elanco Agreement, all licenses granted to Elanco by the Company under the Elanco Agreement were revoked and the rights granted thereunder reverted back to the Company. Provisions in the agreement providing for the receipt of additional payments upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones in an aggregate amount of up to $61.0 million payable throughout the term of the Elanco Agreement, as well as product development expense reimbursement for any additional product development expenses incurred, and royalty payments on global sales. The $61.0 million development and commercial milestones consist of $1.0 million for successful completion of a dose ranging study; $2.0 million for the first commercial sale of license product for acute indications of diarrhea; $3.0 million for the first commercial sale of a license product for chronic indications of diarrhea; $25.0 million for aggregate worldwide net sales of licensed products exceeding $100.0 million in a calendar year during the termterminated on termination of the agreement; and $30.0 million for aggregate worldwide net sales of licensed products exceeding $250.0 million in a calendar year during the terms of the agreement.

Cost of Product Revenue

 

Cost of product revenue expenses consist of costs to manufacture, package and distribute Neonorm related to those products that prior to December 2017 distributors have sold through to their customers, and beginning December 2017 products sold to distributors and other customers. Cost of product revenue also includes charges associated with inventory reserves.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of clinical and contract manufacturing expense, personnel and related benefit expense, stock-based compensation expense, employee travel expense, reforestation expenses. Clinical and contract manufacturing expense consists primarily of costs to conduct stability, safety and efficacy studies, and manufacturing startup expenses at an outsourced API provider in Italy.

 

We typically use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple development programs. We track outsourced development costs by prescription drug product candidate and non-prescription product but do not allocate personnel or other internal costs related to development to specific programs or development compounds.

 

The timing and amount of our research and development expenses will depend largely upon the outcomes of current and future trials for our prescription drug product candidates as well as the related regulatory requirements, the outcomes of current and future species-specific formulation studies for our non-prescription products, manufacturing costs and any costs associated with the advancement of our line extension programs. We cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of the current or future development activities.

 

The duration, costs and timing of trials, formulation studies and development of our prescription drug and non-prescription products will depend on a variety of factors, including:

·                  the scope, rate of progress, and expense of our ongoing, as well as any additional clinical trials, formulation studies and other research and development activities;

 

·                  future clinical trial and formulation study results;

 

·                  potential changes in government regulations; and

 

·                  the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals.

 

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a prescription drug product candidate or non-prescription product could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with our development activities.

 

We expect research and development expense to increase significantly as we add personnel, commence additional clinical studies and other activities to develop our prescription drug product candidates and non-prescription products.

 

Sales and Marketing Expense

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel and related benefit expense, stock-based compensation expense, direct sales and marketing expense, employee travel expense, and management consulting expense. We currently incur sales and marketing expenses to promote Mytesi and Neonorm calf and foal sales.

 

We expect sales and marketing expense to increase significantly as we develop and commercialize new products and grow our existing Mytesi and Neonorm market.markets. We will need to add sales and marketing headcount to promote the sales of existing and new products.

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel and related benefit expense, stock-based compensation expense, employee travel expense, legal and accounting fees, rent and facilities expense, and management consulting expense.

We expect general and administrative expense to increase in order to enable us to effectively manage the overall growth of the business. This will include adding headcount, enhancing information systems and potentially expanding corporate facilities.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on convertible promissory notes, the standby bridge financing commitmentpromisorry notes, and the loan and security agreement (long-term debt arrangement). ItWe also includesinclude accretion of debt issuance costs, debt discount amortization and the accretion of an end-of-term long-term debt payment in interest expense in the statements of operations and the amortization of a beneficial conversion feature related to convertible promissory notes issued in June and December 2014 and in February and March 2015.comprehensive loss.

Our general and administrative expenses increased $2,236,949 from $3,204,544 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $5,441,493 for the same period in 2017 due primarily to $2,450,919 in merger related expenses incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2017, including $858,103 in consulting services for a fairness opinion, $1,306,791 in estimated legal fees and $136,529 in estimated audit fees, and $135,000 in estimated printer and filing fees.  Personnel and related benefits decreased $482,517 from $1,268,680 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $786,163 in the same period in 2017.  We reduced headcount significantly from eleven in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to seven in the same period in 2017, which resulted in a $376,657 decrease in expense.  In addition, we charged back Napo $105,860 in employee leasing chargebacks for services rendered in the six months ended June 30, 2017.  Stock-based compensation increased $147,063 from $157,766 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $304,829 in the same period in 2017 due primarily to expense associated with new grants to existing employees.

Rent expense decreased $55,974 from $212,973 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $156,999 in the same period in 2017 due primarily to $63,983 in employee leasing chargebacks to Napo for space used in connection with our employees providing services to Napo in the six months ended June 30, 2017, offset in part by three months of company apartment rent (monthly rent began April of 2016) of approximately $4,000 per month in the six months ended June 30, 2017.  Other expenses, including insurance costs, office and facilities expenses decreased $88,517 from $491,882 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $403,365 in the same period in 2017 primarily due to a reduction of $92,875 in recruiting fees.  We expect to incur additional general and administrative expense as a result of operating as a public company and as we grow our business, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue

Neonorm Calf and Foal

Our revenue of $61,445 and $24,143 and related cost of revenue of $24,762 and $8,641 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 reflects sell-through of our Neonorm Calf and Neonorm Foal products to our distributors. We defer recognizing revenue and cost of revenue until products are sold by the distributor to the distributor’s end customers and recognition depends on notification from the distributor that product has been sold to the distributor’s end customer. We experienced a significant increase in unit sales in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 resulting in the increase in revenue. The increase in cost of revenue was consistent with the increase in sales. We continue to increase our efforts to promote sales growth.

Botanical extract

We began selling botanical extract to a distributor for use exclusively in China beginning in December 2016. Revenue from these sales is recognized upon shipment to the distributor as no return rights are provided to this distributor. There was no revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.  We do not have cost of product revenue associated with the botanical extract sales as we wrote off the full value of the botanical extract to expense in 2014 due to uncertainty of future use and ability to sell to a customer.

Collaboration revenue

On January 27, 2017, we entered into a licensing, development, co-promotion and commercialization agreement with Elanco to license, develop and commercialize Canalevia (“Licensed Product”), our drug product candidate under investigation for treatment of acute and chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs, and other drug product formulations of crofelemer for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, conditions and symptoms in cats and other companion animals. We are granting to Elanco exclusive global rights to Canalevia, a product whose active pharmaceutical ingredient is sustainably isolated and purified from the Croton lechleri tree, for use in companion animals. Pursuant to the Elanco Agreement, Elanco will have exclusive rights globally outside the U.S. and co-exclusive rights with us in the U.S. to direct all marketing, advertising, promotion, launch and sales activities related to the Licensed Products. Under the terms of the Elanco Agreement, we received an initial upfront payment of $2,548,689 and will receive additional payments upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones in an aggregate amount of up to $61.0 million payable throughout the term of the Elanco Agreement, as well as product development expense reimbursement, and royalty payments on global sales. The Elanco Agreement specifies that we will supply the Licensed Products to Elanco, and that the parties will agree to set a minimum sales requirement that Elanco must meet to maintain exclusivity. Elanco will reimburse us for certain development and regulatory expenses related to our planned target animal safety study and the completion of our field study of Canalevia for acute diarrhea in dogs. The $2,548,689 total of the upfront payment and expense reimbursement is recognized as collaboration revenue ratably over the estimated development period of one year resulting in $637,200 in collaboration revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017.  We included $197,876 of the additional expense reimbursements in the three months ended June 30, 2017 as collaboration revenue.the merger was effective July 31, 2017.

We expect our expenditures will continue to increase as we continue our efforts to develop animal health products, expand our commercially available Neonorm product and continue development of our pipeline in the near term. We do not believe our current capital is sufficient to fund our operating plan through June 2018.March 2019. We will need to seek additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations. Such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations or other restrictions that may affect our business. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. We may also not be successful in entering into partnerships that include payment of upfront licensing fees for our products and product candidates for markets outside the United States, where appropriate. If we do not generate upfront fees from any anticipated arrangements, it would have a negative effect on our operating plan. We plan to finance our operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financing as well as revenue from future product sales. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund operating needs or ultimately achieve profitability. If we are unable to

obtain an adequate level of financing needed for the long-term development and commercialization of our products, we will need to curtail planned activities and reduce costs. Doing so will likely have an adverse effect on our ability to execute on our business plan. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after issuance date of the financial statements.

These notes accrued interest at 3% per annum and automatically were to mature on June 1, 2015. We had unpaid accrued interest of $8,507, which is included in accrued liabilities in the balance sheet.

Upon issuance, we analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) existed because the effective conversion price on issuance of the notes was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance. We calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method and recorded a BCF of $75,000 as a discount to notes payable and to additional paid-in capital. The full amount of the BCF was amortized to interest expense by the end of May 2015 when the notes were converted to equity.

The full amount of the BCF was amortized to interest expense by the end of May 2015 when the notes were converted to equity.

In connection with the Transfer Agreement (Note 6), we issued fully vested and immediately exercisable warrants to the Manufacturer to purchase 16,666 shares of common stock at 90% of the IPO price, amended to $6.30 in March 2015, for a period of five years. The fair value of the warrants, $37,840, was recorded as research and development expense and additional paid-in capital in June 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $4.83, exercise price of $4.35, term of five years, volatility of 49%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.64%.

On December 23, 2014, pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, we issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $650,000 to three accredited investors, including a convertible promissory note for $250,000 to the same board member to which the June 2, 2014 $200,000 convertible promissory note was issued and to which Series A preferred stock was sold.

In connection with these notes, we also issued the lenders a fully vested warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. These warrants entitle the noteholders to purchase 58,035 shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants, $147,943, was recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 23, 2014. Our fully amortized the discount by the end of May 2015 when the notes were converted to equity. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $4.59, exercise price of $4.15, term of three years expiring December 2017, volatility of 49%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.10%.

that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was amortized as interest expense over the one hundred ninety days from issuance of the notes through their first maturity date of July 31, 2015, beginning in January 2015. We analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a BCF existed because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value at the time of the issuance.

2.                                      Automatic increase in the interest rate on and during an event of default — default—during an event of default, the interest rate will increase to the lesser of 17% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

WeThe Company computed fair values at June 30, 2017 of $15,000 and $5,000 for the repayment and the interest rate increase feature, respectively, using the Binomial Lattice Model, which was based on the generalized binomial option pricing formula. The $20,000 combined fair value was carved out and is included as a derivative liability on the balance sheet.Balance Sheet. The derviatives were revalued at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 using the same Model resulting in a combined fair value of $11,000 and $15,000, respectively.  The $4,000 loss is included in other income and expense in the statement of income and comprehensive income.

 

The balance of the note payable of $1,627,346,$540,684, consisting of the $2,155,000 face value of the note less note discounts and debt issuance costs of $509,000, less the $20,000 derivative liability, less principal payments of $1,451,454, plus the accretion of the debt discount and debt issuance costs of $1,346 in June of 2017,$366,098, is included in convertible notes payable on the balance sheet.

Interest payable on the accumulation of all convertible notes was $121,018 and $118,228 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Convertible Notes Payable

In March 2017, Napo entered into an exchangeable Note Purchase Agreement with two lenders for the funding of face amount of $1,312,500 in two $525,000 tranches of face amount $656,250. The notes bear interest at 3% and mature on December 1, 2017. Interest may be paid at maturity in either cash or shares of Jaguar per terms of the exchangeable note purchase agreement. The notes may be exchanged for up to 2,343,752 shares of Jaguar common stock, prior to maturity date. The Company assumed the notes at fair value of $1,312,500 as part of the Napo Merger. At December 31, 2017, the accrued interest on these notes is $29,774. The fair value was calculated using the Binomial Lattice Model using the following criteria: stock price of $0.5893, expected term of tranche 1 of 0.34 years and tranche 2 of 0.42 years, conversion price of $0.56, volatility of tranche 1 of 70% and tranche 2 of 100%, and risk free rate of tranche 1 of 1.09% and tranche 2 of 1.13%.

First Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement and Notes

In December 2017, Napo amended the exchangeable note purchase agreement to extend the maturity of the first tranche and second tranche of notes to February 15, 2018 and April 1, 2018, respectively, increase the principal amount by 12%, and reduce the conversion price from $0.56 per share to $0.20 per share. The Company also issued 2,492,084 shares of common stock to the lenders in connection with this amendment to partially redeem $299,050 from the first tranche of the notes. The amended face value of the notes is $1,170,950. This amendment resulted in the Company treating the notes as having been extinguished and replaced with new notes for accounting purposes due to meeting the 10% cash flow test. The Company calculated a loss on extinguishment of notes of $157,500, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The conversion option in the notes was bifurcated and accounted as a conversion option liability at its fair value of $111,841 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the following criteria: stock price of $0.14 per share, conversion prices of $0.20 per share, expected life of 0.13 to 0.25 years, volatility of 86.29% to 160.78%, risk free rate of 1.28% to 1.39% and dividend rate of 0%. The $111,841 was included in conversion option liability on the balance sheet and in loss on extinguishment of debt on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

At December 31, 2017, the balance of the notes payable of $1,170,950 was included in convertible notes payable in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The accrued interest on these notes of $29,774 is included in accrued expenses in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Second Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement and Notes

On February 16, 2018, Napo amended the exchangeable note purchase agreement to extend the maturity date of the Second Tranche Notes from April 1, 2018 to May 1, 2018.  In addition, the Company also issued 3,783,444 shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers as repayment of the remaining $435,950 aggregate principal amount of the original issue discount exchangeable promissory notes previously issued by Napo to the Purchasers on March 1, 2017 pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “First Tranche Notes”) and $18,063 in accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On March 23, 2018, the Company paid off the remaining $735,000 of principal and $20,699.38 in interest due on the second tranche debt in cash with proceeds from the March 23, 2018 equity financing. The fair value of the conversion option liability was again revalued at March 23, 2018 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using the following criteria: stock price of $0.21 per share, expected life of 0.11 years, volatility of 288.16%, risk free rate of 1.69% and dividend rate of 0%, resulting in an increase of $174,754 to the fair value of the conversion option liability and included in the change in fair value of warrants and conversion option liability in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The underlying debt was paid off in March of 2018 and the $286,595 conversion option liability was written off to other income in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Convertible Long-term Debt

In December 2016, Napo entered into a note purchase agreement which provided for the sale of up to $12,500,000 face amount of notes and issued convertible promissory notes (the Napo December 2016 Notes) in the aggregate face amount of $2,500,000 to three lenders and received proceeds of $2,000,000 which resulted in $500,000 of original issue discount. In July 2017, Napo issued convertible promissory notes (the Napo July 2017 Notes) in the aggregate face amount of $7,500,000 to four lenders and received proceeds of $6,000,000 which resulted in $1,500,000 of original issue discount. The Napo December 2016 Notes and the Napo July 2017 Notes mature on December 30, 2019 and bear interest at 10% with interest due each six-month period after December 30, 2016. On June 30, 2017, the accrued interest of $125,338 was added to principal of the Napo December Notes, and the new principal balance became $2,625,338. Interest may be paid in cash or in the stock of Jaguar per terms of the note purchase agreement. In each one year period beginning December 30, 2016, up to one-third of the principal and accrued interest on the notes may be converted into the common stock of the merged entity at a conversion price of $0.925 per share. The Company assumed these convertible notes at fair value of $11,161,000 as part of the Napo Merger. The fair value was calculated using the Binomial Lattice Model using the following criteria: stock price of $0.5893, expected term of 2.42 years, conversion price of $0.925, volatility of 115%, and risk free rate of 1.41%. The $1,035,661 difference between the fair value of the notes and the principal balance is being amortized over the twenty-nine (29) month period from July 31, 2017 to December 31, 2019 or $178,562 and is recorded as a contra interest expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Interest expense is paid every six months through the issuance of common stock. On March 16, 2018, $534,775 of interest accrued through January 31, 2018 and $169,950 of certain legal expenses were paid through the issuance of 4,285,423 shares of the Company’s common stock.  At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the unamortized balance of the note payable is $10,875,300 and $10,982,438 which are included in Convertible Long-term Debt on the balance sheet, and the accrued interest on these notes is $163,670 and $448,779 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and are included in accrued interest on the balance sheets. Interest of $249,666 less $107,167 of debt appreciation amortization or $142,529 was included in interest expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Notes Payable—Bridge Loans

On October 30, 2014, we entered into a standby bridge financing agreement with two lenders, which was amended and restated on December 3, 2014, which provided a loan commitment in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 million (the “Bridge”). Proceeds were net of a $100,000 debt discount under the terms of the Bridge and net of $104,000 of debt issuance costs. This debt discount and debt issuance costs were recorded as interest expense using the effective interest method, over the six month term of the Bridge. The Bridge became payable upon the IPO. The Bridge was repaid in May 2015, including interest thereon in an amount of $1,321,600. In connection with the Bridge, the lenders were granted warrants to purchase 178,569 shares of our common stock determined by dividing $1.0 million by the exercise price of 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015. The fair value of the warrants, $505,348, was originally recorded as a debt discount and liability at December 3, 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $5.01, exercise price of $5.23, term of five years expiring December 2019, volatility of 63%, dividend yield of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 1.61%. Based on the circumstances, the value derived using the Black-Scholes-Merton model approximated that which would be obtained using a lattice model. The debt discount was recorded as interest expense over the six month term of the Bridge. We fully extinguished the debt and accrued interest in May 2015.

Standby Line of Credit

                In August 2014, we entered into a standby line of credit with an accredited investor for up to $1.0 million pursuant to a Line of Credit and Loan Agreement dated August 26, 2014. In connection with the entry into the standby line of credit, we issued the lender a fully vested warrant to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 80% of the IPO price, amended to $5.60 in March 2015, which expires in August 2016. The fair value of the warrants, $114,300, was recorded as interest expense and additional paid-in capital in August 2014. The warrants were originally valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions: stock price of $8.00, exercise price of $6.40, term of two years, volatility of 52%, dividend yield of 0%, and

risk-free interest rate of 0.52%. The line of credit expired on March 31, 2015 and there were no drawdowns under the facility. The warrants expired in August 2016.

Long term Debtrespectively.

 

In August 2015, wethe Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender for up to $8.0 million, which provided for an initial loan commitment of $6.0 million. The loan agreement requires usthe Company to maintain $4.5 million of the proceeds in cash, which may be reduced or eliminated on the achievement of certain milestones. An additional $2.0 million is available contingent on the achievement of certain further milestones. The agreement has a term of three years, with interest only payments through February 29, 2016. Thereafter, principal and interest payments will be made with an interest rate of 9.9%. Additionally, there will be a balloon payment of $560,000$600,000 on August 1, 2018.2018 (as modified in the third amendment to the Loan Agreement). This amount is being recognized over the term of the loan agreement and the effective interest rate, considering the balloon payment, is 15.0%. Proceeds to the Company were net of a $134,433 debt discount under the terms of the loan agreement. This debt discount is being recorded as interest expense, using the interest method, over the term of the loan agreement. Under the agreement, we arethe Company is entitled to prepay principal and accrued interest upon five days prior notice to the lender. In the event of prepayment, we arethe Company is obligated to pay a prepayment charge. If such prepayment is made during any of the first twelve months of the loan agreement, the prepayment charge will be (a) during such time as we arethe Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 2% of the minimum cash balance amount plus 3% of the difference between the amount being prepaid and the minimum cash balance, and (b) after such time as we arethe Company is no longer required to maintain a minimum cash balance, 3% of the amount being prepaid. If such prepayment is made during any time after the first twelve months of the loan agreement, 1% of the amount being prepaid.

On April 21, 2016, the loan and security was amended upon which wethe Company repaid $1.5 million of the debt out of restricted cash. The amendment modified the repayment amortization schedule providing a four-month period of interest only payments for the period from May through August 2016.

 

On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Loan Agreement upon which the Company paid $1.0 million of the outstanding loan balance, and the Lender waived the Prepayment Charge associated with such prepayment. The Third Amendment modified the repayment schedule providing a three-month period of interest only payments for the period from August 2017 through October 2017, and reduced the required cash amount that the Company must keep on hand to $500,000, which will be reduced following the Lender’s receipt of each principal repayment subsequent to the $1.0 million. As the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the third amendment is less than 10% different from the remaining cash flows under the terms of the loan agreement prior to the amendment, the third amendment was accounted as a debt modification.

On March 23, 2018, the Company paid off the remaining $689,345 of principal, $4,471 of interest, and the end-of-term payment of $600,000 in cash with proceeds from the March 23, 2018 equity financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and that have a material impact on financial condition or operating performance. While we base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements require significant judgments and estimates. For additional information relating to these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited financial statements, appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognizeThe Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, subtopic Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 605-25 “ Revenue with Multiple Element Arrangements “ and subtopic ASC 605-28 “ Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method 606”), which provides accounting guidance for revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and guidancewas adopted on definingJanuary 1, 2018, using the milestone and determining when the usemodified retrospective method, which was elected to apply to all contracts.  Application of the milestonemodified retrospective method did not impact amounts previously reported by the Company, nor did it require a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption, as the Company’s method of recognizing revenue recognition for research and development transactions is appropriate, respectively. For multiple-element arrangements, each deliverable within a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the delivered item or items have valueunder ASC 606 was similar to the customer on a standalone basis and (2)method utilized immediately prior to adoption.  Accordingly, there is no need for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relativethe Company to dislose the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. If a deliverable in a multiple element arrangement is not deemed to have a stand-alone value, consideration received for such a deliverable is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement or the estimated performance period, and it will be periodically reviewed based on the progress of the related product development plan. The effect of a change made to an estimated performance period and therefore revenue recognized ratably would occur on a prospective basis in the period that the changeamount by which each financial statement line item was made.

We recognize revenue under its licensing, development, co-promotion and commercialization agreement from milestone payments when: (i) the milestone event is substantive and its achievability has substantive uncertainty at the inception of the agreement, and (ii) it does not have ongoing performance obligations related to the achievement of the milestone earned. Milestone payments are considered substantive if all of the following conditions are met: the milestone payment (a) is commensurate with either our performance subsequent to the inception of the arrangement to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item or itemsaffected as a result of applying the new revenue standard and an explanation of significant changes.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principal of ASC 606 or when there is a specific outcome resulting from our performance subsequenttransfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Collaboration Revenue

 

On January 27, 2017, wethe Company entered into a licensing, development, co-promotion and commercialization agreement with Elanco US Inc. (“Elanco”) to license, develop and commercialize Canalevia, (“Licensed Product”), ourthe Company’s drug product candidate under investigation for treatment of acute and chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs, and other drug product formulations of crofelemer for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, conditions and symptoms in cats and other companion animals. We granted Elanco exclusive global rights to Canalevia, a product whose active pharmaceutical ingredient is sustainably isolated and purified from the Croton lechleri tree, for use in companion animals. Pursuant to the Elanco Agreement, Elanco will have exclusive rights globally outside the U.S. and co-exclusive rights with us in the U.S. to direct all marketing, advertising, promotion, launch and sales activities related to the Licensed Products.

Under the terms of the Elanco Agreement, weagreement, the Company received an initial upfront payment of $2,548,689, inclusive of reimbursement of past product and development expenses of $1,048,689, which was recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated development period of one year resulting in $177,389 and will receive$459,700 in collaboration revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition to the upfront payments, Elanco reimbursed the Company for $0 and $288,166 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 for certain development and regulatory expenses related to the planned target animal safety study and the completion of the Canalevia field study for acute diarrhea in dogs which were also included in collaboration revenue.

On November 1, 2017, the Company received a letter from Elanco serving as formal notice of their decision to terminate the agreement by giving the Company 90 days written notice. According to the agreement, termination became effective on January 30, 2018, which is 90 days after the date of the Notice. On the effective date of termination of the Elanco Agreement, all licenses granted to Elanco by the Company under the Elanco Agreement were revoked and the rights granted thereunder reverted back to the Company. Provisions in the agreement providing for the receipt of additional payments upon achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestones in an aggregate amount of up to $61.0 million payable throughout the term of the Elanco Agreement, as well as product development expense reimbursement for any additional product development expenses incurred, and royalty payments on global sales.sales terminated on termination of the agreement.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and in between annual tests if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. The $61.0 milliontest is based on a comparison of the reporting unit’s book value to its estimated fair market value. We perform annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year using the opening consolidated balance sheet as of the first day of the fourth quarter, with any resulting impairment recorded in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, the goodwill would be considered impaired and would be reduced to its fair value. The goodwill was entirely allocated to the human health reporting unit as the goodwill relates to the Napo Merger. The decline in market capitalization during the year ended December 31, 2017 was determined to be a triggering event for potential goodwill impairment. Accordingly we performed the goodwill impairment analysis. The Company utilized the market capitalization plus a reasonable control premium in the performance of its impairment test. The market capitalization was based on the outstanding shares and the average market share price for the 30 days prior to December 31, 2017. Based on the results of our impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16,827,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017. If the market capitalization decreases in the future, a reasonable possibility exists that goodwill could be further impaired in the near term and that such impairment may be material to the financial statements.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry and economic conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected revenues and income growth rates, terminal growth rates, competitive and consumer trends, market-based discount rates, and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates are not met or market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change significantly, this may lead to a further goodwill impairment in the future. Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) are intangible assets initially recognized at fair value and commercial milestones consist of $1.0 million forclassified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of a dose ranging study; $2.0 millionthe associated research and development efforts. During the development period, these assets will not be amortized as charges to earnings; instead these assets will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators are identified. Based on the first commercial saleresults of license product for acute indicationsour impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of diarrhea; $3.0 million for the first commercial sale of a license product for chronic indications of diarrhea; $25.0 million for aggregate worldwide net sales of licensed products exceeding $100.0 million in a calendar year$2,300,000 during the termyear ended December 31, 2017. In connection with each annual impairment assessment and any interim impairment assessment in which indicators of impairment have been identified, we compare the fair value of the agreement; and $30.0 million for aggregate worldwide net sales of licensed products exceeding $250.0 million in a calendar year during the termsasset as of the agreement. Eachdate of the developmentassessment with the carrying value of the asset on the consolidated balance sheet. If impairment is indicatd by this test, the intangible asset is written down by the amount by which the discounted cash flows expected from the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value.

Additionally, as goodwill and commercial milestones are considered substantive. No revenuesintangible assets associated with recently acquired businesses are recorded on the achievement of the milestones has been recognizedbalance sheet at their estimated acquisition date fair values, those amounts are more susceptible to date. The Elanco Agreement specifies that we will supply the Licensed Products to Elanco, and that the parties will agree to set a minimum sales requirement that Elanco must meet to maintain exclusivity.  The $2,548,689 upfront payment, inclusive of reimbursement of past product and development expenses of $1,048,689 is recognized as revenue ratably over the estimated development period of one year resulting in $835,076 and $1,582,942 in collaboration revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 which are included in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The difference of $1,451,789 is included in deferred collaboration revenue in our balance sheet.an impairment risk if business operating results or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate.

 

In addition toconnection with each annual impairment assessment and any interim impairment assessment in which indicators of impairment have been identified, we compare the upfront payments, Elanco reimburses us for certain development and regulatory expenses related to our planned target animal safety study and the completionfair value of the Canalevia field study for acute diarrhea in dogs. These are recognizedasset as revenue inof the month indate of the assessment with the carrying value of the asset on the consolidated balance sheet. If impairment is indicatd by this test, the intangible asset is written down by the amount by which the related expenses are incurred.  We had $197,876 of unreimbursed expenses as of June 30, 2017, which is included in Other Receivables on our balance sheet. We includeddiscounted cash flows expected from the $197,876 and $486,042 in collaboration revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 which are included in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss.intangible asset exceeds its carrying value.

Accrued Research and Development Expenses

 

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate accrued research and development expenses. Estimated accrued expenses include fees paid to vendors and clinical sites in connection with our clinical trials and studies. We review new and open contracts and communicate with applicable internal and vendor personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimate the level of service performed and the associated costs incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost for accrued expenses. The majority of our service providers invoice us monthly in arrears for services performed or as milestones are achieved in relation to our contract manufacturers. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each reporting date.

 

We base our accrued expenses related to clinical trials and studies on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with vendors, our internal resources, and payments to clinical sites based on enrollment projections. The financial terms of the vendor agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of animals and the completion of development milestones. We estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from our estimate, we adjust the related expense accrual accordingly on a prospective basis. If we do not identify costs that have been incurred or if we underestimate or overestimate the level of services performed or the costs of these services, our actual expenses could differ from our estimates. To date, we have not made any material adjustments to our estimates of accrued research and development expenses or the level of services performed in any reporting period presented.

 

We expenseThe Company expenses the total cost of a certain long-term manufacturing development contract ratably over the estimated life of the contract, or the total amount paid if greater.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

Beginning in the second quarter of 2014, we awarded options and restricted stock units. We measure stock-based awards granted to employees and directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognize the corresponding compensation expense of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service periods, which correspond to the vesting periods of the awards. The Company revalues non-employee options each reporting period using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of each reporting period.

 

Key Assumptions.  Our Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, the expected term of the option, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. These assumptions are estimated as follows:

 

·                  Fair value of our common stock—Our common stock is valued by reference to the publicly-traded price of our common stock.

·                  Expected volatility—As we do not have any trading history for our common stock, the expected stock price volatility for our common stock was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations for common stock values over a period equivalent to the expected term of our stock option grants. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded options in our industry peers’ common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own common stock share price becomes available.

 

·                  Expected term—The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. It is based on the “simplified method” for developing the estimate of the expected life of a “plain vanilla” stock option. Under this approach, the expected term is presumed to be the midpoint between the average vesting date and the end of the contractual term for each vesting tranche. We intend to continue to apply this process until a sufficient amount of historical exercise activity is available to be able to reliably estimate the expected term.

 

·                  Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.

·                  Dividend yield—We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield of zero.

 

·                  Forfeitures—We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates periodically in subsequent periods. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

 

Common Stock Valuations.  Prior to our IPO, the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock options was determined by our board of directors, which intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. The valuations of our common stock were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The assumptions we used in the valuation model are highly complex and subjective. We base our assumptions on future expectations combined with management judgment. In the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors, with input from management, exercised significant judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant and stock award. These judgments and factors will not be necessary to determine the fair value of new awards once the underlying shares begin trading. For now we included the following factors:

 

·                  the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our Series A preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;

 

·                  lack of marketability of our common stock;

 

·                  our actual operating and financial performance;

 

·                  current business conditions and projections;

 

·                  hiring of key personnel and the experience of our management;

 

·                  our stage of development;

 

·                  illiquidity of share-based awards involving securities in a private company;

 

·                  the U.S. capital market conditions; and

 

·                  the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an offering or a merger or acquisition of our company given prevailing market conditions.

 

The fair market value per share of our common stock for purposes of determining stock-based compensation is now the closing price of our common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Stock Market on the applicable grant date.

Classification of Securities

 

We apply the principles of ASC 480-10 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” to determine whether financial instruments such as warrants, contingently issuable shares and shares subject to repurchase should be classified as liabilities or equity and whether beneficial conversion features exist. Financial instruments such as warrants that are evaluated to be classified as liabilities are fair valued upon issuance and are remeasured at fair value at subsequent reporting periods with the resulting change in fair value recorded in other income/(expense). The fair value of warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes-MertonBlack Scholes Merton model and requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility and expected life.

 

Income Taxes

 

As of December 31, 2016, we2017, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards forcarryovers of approximately $20,777,790 and $21,432,738, respectively The federal and state income tax purposes of $24.5 million and $17.1 million, respectively, whichnet operating losses will begin to expire in 2033, subject to limitations.2033. Our management has evaluated the factors bearing upon the realizability of our deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards. Our management concluded that, due to the uncertainty of realizing any tax benefits as of December 31, 2016,2017, a valuation allowance was necessary to fully offset our deferred tax assets. We have evaluated our uncertain tax positions and determined that we have no liabilities from unrecognized tax benefits and therefore we have not incurred any penalties or interest. The Tax Reform Act of 1986, as

amended, limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforward in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. Utilization of the domestic NOL and tax credit forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as well as similar state provisions.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2016,July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception” (“ASU 2017-11”), which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. The amendments in Part I of this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”), which clarifies the scope of the nonfinancial asset guidance in Subtopic 610-20. This ASU also clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses and nonprofit activities (except those related to conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights or contracts with customers) should be accounted for in accordance with the derecognition and deconsolidation guidance in Subtopic 810-10. The amendments in this ASU also provide guidance on the accounting for what often are referred to as partial sales of nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 and contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other noncontrolled investee. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting reports beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Public entities may apply the guidance earlier but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 related to goodwill impairment testing. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Previously, if the fair value of a reporting unit was lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity was required to calculate any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). Additionally, under the new standard, entities that have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts will no longer be required to perform the qualitative assessment to determine whether to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts will generally be expected to pass the simplified impairment test; however, additional disclosure will be required of those entities. This ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The new guidance must be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company early adopted this ASU in 2017. For impact of the adoption of this standard, refer to Note 6 “Goodwill”.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-18, that will require entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. Entities will also have to disclose the nature of their restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent balances. ASU 2016-18 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption of this standard isdid not expected to have ana material impact on ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated financial positionstatements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entitiy Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. Under current GAAP, the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers (intercompany sales) are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or resultsotherwise recovered through use. This is an exception to the principle in ASC 740, Income Taxes, that generally requires comprehensive recognition of operations.current and deferred income taxes.  The new guidance eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The ASU will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years.  The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses the following cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years and are effective for all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluatingThe Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 on ourCompany’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation2016-07, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 718)323): ImprovementsSimplifying the Transition to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspectsthe Equity Method of Accounting. This new standard eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the accounting for employee stock-based payment transactions. The areas for simplificationequity method as a result of an increase in ASU No. 2016-09 include the income tax consequences, classificationlevel of awards as either equityownership interest or liabilities, and classification on the statementdegree of cash flows. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Among other requirements, the new guidance requires all tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) toinfluence, an adjustment must be recorded through the income statement. Previously, tax benefits in excess of compensation cost (“windfalls”) were recorded in equity, and tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) were recorded in equity made to the extentinvestment, results of operations and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous windfalls, and then toperiods that the income statement. Under the new guidance, the windfall tax benefit is to be recorded when it arises, subject to normal valuation allowance considerations.  The adoption of this standard did not have any impact to the Statement of Operations or the Statement of Cash Flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 or 2017.  As of December 31, 2016, we had no unrecognized deferred tax assets related to excess tax benefits, and as such, there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning accumulated deficit. Additionally, the treatment of forfeituresinvestment has not changed as we elected to continue our current process of estimating the number of forfeitures. As such, this has no cumulative effect on accumulated deficit.

In March 2016, the FASB issuedbeen held. ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.  ASU 2016-06 clarifies that an entity will only need to consider the four-step decision sequence, as provided by the amended ASC 815-15-25-42, to assess whether the economic characteristics and risks of embedded put or call options are clearly related to those of their hosts. ASU 2016-162016-07 is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued forfiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016; accordingly, we2017. The Company adopted this guidance during 2017.on January 1, 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. Under ASU 2016-02, the Company will be required to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We areThe Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09), and subsequently issued modifications or clarifications in ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The objective ofrevenue recognition principle in ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognitionrelated guidance including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new standard is that revenuean entity should be recognizedrecognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. TheASU 2014-09 prescribes a five-step process for evaluating contracts and determining revenue recognition. In addition, new and enhanced disclosures are required. Companies may adopt the new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allows for prospective or retrospective application. We currently anticipate utilizingeither using the full retrospective approach, a modified retrospective approach with practical expedients, or a cumulative effect upon adoption approach. The Company has completed the process of evaluating the effects of the adoption of Topic 606 and determined that the timing and measurement of our revenues under the new standard is similar to that recognized under the previous revenue guidance. Similar to the current guidance, the Company will need to make significant estimates related to variable consideration at the point of sale, including chargebacks, rebates and product returns. Revenue will be recognized at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the Company’s products, which occurs upon delivery for substantially all of the Company’s sales. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018, by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings as prescribed by the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption allowed by the standard, in order to provide for comparative results in allof ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 did not have a material impact on Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

periods presented, and plan to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the new guidance, however we do not believe the impact will be significant.

JOBS Act

 

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period, and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

 

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controlsDisclosure Controls and procedures.Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective atdue to the existence of a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of an internal control related to review of our tax provision. This conclusion was based on the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting further described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable assurance level.possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, we did not adequately and timely review the accounting for income taxes. While we utilize the assistance of an external income tax specialist to prepare our annual tax provision, management has concluded there to be a material weakness in the design of our income tax controls in that our policy that governs the data validation controls over data provided to and received from the external income tax specialist and the management review controls were not designed with appropriate levels of precision and were not undertaken in a timely manner, which resulted in an extension to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We plan to enhance existing controls and design and implement new controls applicable to our tax accounting, to ensure that our income tax balances are accurately calculated and appropriately reflected in our financial statements on a timely basis. We plan to devote significant time and attention to remediate the above material weakness as soon as reasonably possible. As we continue to evaluate our controls, we will make the necessary changes to improve the overall design and operation of our controls. We believe these actions will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting; however, there can be no guarantee that such remediation will be sufficient. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

 

Changes in internal controlInternal Control over financial reporting.Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arisingOn July 20, 2017, a putative class action complaint was filed in the ordinary courseUnited States District Court, Northern District of business.California, Civil Action No. 3:17-cv-04102, by Tony Plant (the “Plaintiff”) on behalf of shareholders of the Company who held shares on June 30, 2017 and were entitled to vote at the 2017 Special Shareholders Meeting, against the Company and certain individuals who were directors as of the date of the vote (collectively, the “Defendants”), in a matter captioned Tony Plant v. Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., et al., making claims arising under Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9, 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9, promulgated thereunder by the SEC. The claims allege false and misleading information provided to investors in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (File No. 333-217364) declared effective by the Commission on July 6, 2017 related to the solicitation of votes from shareholders to approve the merger and certain transactions related thereto. The Company accepted service of the complaint and summons on behalf of itself and the United States-based director Defendants on November 1, 2017. The Company has not accepted service on behalf of, and Plaintiff has not yet served, the non-U.S.-based director Defendants. On October 3, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking appointment as lead plaintiff and appointment of Monteverde & Associates PC as lead counsel. That motion has been granted. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint against the Company and the United States-based director Defendants on January 10, 2018. If the Plaintiff were able to prove its allegations in this matter and to establish the damages it asserts, then an adverse ruling could have a material impact on the Company. However, the Company disputes the claims asserted in this putative class action case and is vigorously contesting the matter. On March 12, 2018, the Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.  The Company believes that it is not probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of any potential loss is not reasonably estimable. The court has ordered a briefing schedule on the motion to dismiss and has tentatively set a hearing date of June 14, 2018.

Other than as described above, there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
