Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Nine Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Business

Business

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Corbus”) is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company, focused on the development of immune modulators that will have application in disease states spanning from immuno-oncology to fibrosis. Corbus’ current pipeline includes anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies that block activation of TGFβ and commercialization of novel therapeuticssmall molecules that activate or inhibit the endocannabinoid system. The Company plans to treat rare, chronic,expand its pipeline in immuno-oncology through internal efforts and serious inflammatory and fibrotic diseases.business development. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. The Company’s business is subject to significant risks and uncertainties and the Company will be dependent on raising substantial additional capital before it becomes profitable and it may never achieve profitability.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022 and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021 and its cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021. The December 31, 20162021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SECU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, filed on March 8, 2017.2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

 

2.LIQUIDITY

The Company is continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and operations.

 

2.LIQUIDITY

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception and as of June 30, 2022, had an accumulated deficit of $372,420,000. The Company anticipates operating losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to research funding, development of its product candidates and its preclinical and clinical programs, strategic alliances and the development of its administrative organization. The Company has incurred recurring losses since inception and as of September 30, 2017, had an accumulated deficit of $55,004,411. On October 26, 2017, the Company consummated an underwritten public offering of shares of its common stock pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 4,650,000 shares of its common stock to institutional investors at a purchase price of $7.00 per share with net proceeds to the Company totaling approximately $30,397,000 (“October 2017 Offering”) (See Notes 9 and 13). The Company expects the cash, on handcash equivalents, and investments of $36,597,469approximately $73,303,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 together with the proceeds from the October 2017 Offering and the remaining milestone payment of $500,000 from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc. (“CFFT”), which the Company received in the fourth quarter of 2017 (See Note 8),2022 to be sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements at least 12twelve months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain clinical activities. The Company will need to raise significant additional capital to continue to fund the clinical trials for anabasum. The Company may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to the Company’s stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of the Company’s common shares. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict the Company’s operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require the Company to relinquish valuable rights.

7

The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of the Company’s clinical development programs. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to the Company. Lack of necessary funds may require the Company to, among other things, to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of the Company’s planned clinical or preclinical trials.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements is as follows:

 

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

 

The processpreparation of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, andthe disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reporting period.periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and changes in estimates may occur. The most significant estimates are related to the expected performance period under the Company’s development award agreement with CFFT (See Note 8), stock basedstock-based compensation, and the accrual of research, product development and clinical obligations.

Prior to the registration of its common stockobligations, lease obligations, and the subsequent public listingvaluation of the common stock, the Company had granted stock options at exercise prices not less than the fair value of its common stock as determined by the board of directors, with input from management. The Company’s board of directors determined the estimated fair value of the common stock based on a number of objectivewarrants discussed in Note 14.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry sector and the historic prices at which the Company sold shares of preferred stock.

Reclassifications

The Company hasreclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation, specifically in the presentation of the cash flow statement for the comparable prior period as a result of the Company’s early adoption in the fourth quarter of 2016 of ASU No. 2016-18,Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows and as a result, transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will no longer be presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is being applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The impact on prior periods was not material to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash, and that mature within three months from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Marketable investments are those with maturities in excess of three months. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, cash equivalents were comprised of money market funds. The Company had no marketable investments at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Restricted cash as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and December 31, 20162022 included a $150,000 collateral accountsecurity for the Company’s corporate credit cards and is classified in current assets. Additionally, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 restricted cash included a stand-by letter of credit issued in favor of a landlord for $50,000$669,900 of which $192,475 was classified in current assets as of September 30, 2017 and $477,425 was classified in noncurrent assets as of December 31, 2016 (See Note 5).June 30, 2022.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported inAs of June 30, 2022, all of the consolidated balance sheet forCompany’s cash and cash equivalents receivables, accounts payablewas held in the United States, except for approximately $2,987,000 of cash which was held in its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and accrued expenses approximateAustralia. As of December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s cash was held in the United States, except for approximately $5,752,000 of cash which was held principally in its subsidiary in the United Kingdom.

Investments

Investments consist of debt securities and term deposits with maturities greater than 90 days at their acquisition date. The Company has classified its investments with maturities beyond one year as current, based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.

The Company classifies all of its marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities. The Company’s marketable debt securities are measured and reported at fair value basedusing quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of debt securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis, and realized gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net in the short-term natureconsolidated statements of these instruments. operations and comprehensive loss.

-9-


The Company evaluates its marketable debt securities with unrealized losses for other-than-temporary impairment. When assessing marketable debt securities for other-than-temporary declines in value, the Company considers such factors as, among other things, how significant the decline in value is as a percentage of the original cost, how long the market value of the investment has been less than its original cost, the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and market conditions in general. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment that the Company considers to be “other than temporary,” the Company reduces the investment to fair value through a charge to the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented.

Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the notes payable and debt approximate their fair value due to theirthe fact that they are at market terms.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The valuation of the Company’s debt and embedded derivatives are determined primarily by an income approach that considers the present value of net cash flows of the debt with and without prepayment and default features. These embedded debt features, which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s investments, debt, and its derivative liabilities are carried at fair value determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The carrying values of the Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include the discount rate, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded.

Property and Equipment

 

The estimated life for the Company’s property and equipment is as follows: three years for computer hardware and software and three to five years for office furniture and equipment. The Company’s leasehold improvements and assets under capital lease are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the respective leases. See Note 47 for details of property and equipment and Note 58 for operating and capital lease commitments.

 

Research and Development Expenses and Collaborative Research Agreements

 

Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred.

Accruals for Research and Development Expenses and Clinical Trials

 

As part of the process of preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the expenses. The Company determines accrual estimates by taking into account discussion with applicable internal personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations (“CROs”) and other third-party vendors. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, its understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in it reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, there were no material adjustments to the Company’s prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.

9

 

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This is the rate the Company would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term to each lease. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has subleased a portion of its leased facility under an agreement considered to be an operating lease according to GAAP. The Company has not been legally released from its primary obligations under the original lease and therefore it continues to account for the original lease as it did before commencement of the sublease. The Company will record both fixed and variable payments received from the sublessee in its statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis as an offset to rent expense.

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. However, the Company believes the risk of loss is minimal as these banks are large financial institutions.

 

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise forabout which separate discrete financial information is usedavailable for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision makingdecision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance.

Income Taxes

 

For federal and state income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are based upon prescribed rates and enacted laws applicable to periods in which differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce a net deferred tax assetbenefit when it is not more likely than not that the tax benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, given the cumulative losses since inception, the Company has provided a valuation allowance equal to 100%100% of the deferred tax assetassets in order to eliminate the deferred tax assets amounts.

 

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns are required to be evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold, as well as accrued interest and penalties, if any, would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. There were no0 uncertain tax positions that require accrual or disclosure to the financial statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 or December 31, 2016.2021.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when expected undiscounted cash flows of an asset are less than an asset’s carrying value. Accordingly, when indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of such assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. An impairment loss equal to the excess of the fair value of the asset over its carrying amount, is recorded when it is determined that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. NoThe Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $606,000 in the third quarter of 2021 to write down the value of leasehold improvements as a result of entering into a sublease. The Company notes no other impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.taken in 2022. See Note 8 for more details on sublease agreement.

Stock-based Payments

 

Share-based Payments

The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors as an expense in the statementstatements of operations and comprehensive loss over the service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.model, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of each option grant is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Stock options granted to non-employee consultants

Foreign Currency

Transaction gains and losses arising from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar functional currency are revaluedrecorded in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Such transaction gains and losses may be realized or unrealized depending upon whether the transaction settled during the period or remains outstanding at the endbalance sheet date. The functional currency of each reporting period until vested and the changes in their fair value are recorded as adjustments to expense overCompany's foreign subsidiaries is the related vesting period.

RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014,2021, the FSB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options which is intended to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification of exchange. This standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance codifiedASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue Recognition — Revenue fromfor Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity which is intended to simplify various aspects of GAAP for certain financial instruments with Customers (“ASC 606”) which amends the guidance in formerASC 605, Revenue Recognition,characteristics of liabilities and equity. The standard is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Specifically,that meet the new standard differs fromdefinition of an SEC filer, excluding entities that are smaller reporting companies as defined by the current accounting standard in many respects, such as in the accounting for variable consideration received, including milestone payments or contingent payments. Under the Company’s current accounting policy, milestone payments are initially recognized as revenue only in the period that the payment-triggering event occurred or was achieved (See Note 8). ASC 606, however, may require to recognize such payments before the payment-triggering event is completely achieved based on the Company’s estimate of the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the services, subject to management’s assessment of whether it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company plans to adopt ASC 606 in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method according to which the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 is recognized at the date of initial application. Since the Company has concluded its performance obligations and has completed recognizing revenue under the collaboration agreement with CFFT in the three months ended September 30, 2017 (See Note 8) and since the Company has not yet commercialized its product, the Company does not expect to have a cumulative effect at the date of adoption or for the adoption of ASC 606 to have a material effect on its financial statements. If and when the Company will sign new collaboration or revenue generating agreements, the Company will assess the accounting for those new agreements under ASC 606.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02,Leases (Topic 842)(“ASU 2016-02”).Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, ASU 2016-02 will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 will take effectSEC, for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. Management has not yet determined if it will adopt ASU 2016-022023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard will be effective for the required adoption date.Company on January 1, 2024 or when it ceases being eligible to be a smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will2020-06 and the potential impact that this standard may have an impact on the Company’sits consolidated financial position as the Company has operating lease commitments for office space as of September 30, 2017 with future non-cancelable lease payments amounting to $5,543,755 (see Note 5) for which ASU 2016-02 would apply.statements and related disclosures.

 

Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

On March 30,In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 718)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes may result in earlier recognition of credit losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting(“Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which narrowed the scope and changed the effective date for non-public entities for ASU 2016-09”).2016-13. The FASB subsequently issued supplemental guidance within ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects ofNo. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief (“ASU 2019-05”). ASU 2019-05 provides an option to irrevocably elect the accountingfair value option for employee share-based payment transactionscertain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For public entities that are SEC filers, excluding entities that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 took effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,years. For all other entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, when2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. This standard will be effective for the Company adopted ASU 2016-09on January 1, 2023 or when it ceases being eligible to be a smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

6.LICENSE AGREEMENTS

The Company entered into a license agreement (the “Jenrin Agreement”) with Jenrin Discovery, LLC, a privately-held Delaware limited liability company (“Jenrin”), effective September 20, 2018. Pursuant to the Jenrin Agreement, Jenrin granted the Company exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize the Licensed Products (as defined in the Jenrin Agreement) which includes the Jenrin library of over 600 compounds and multiple issued and pending patent filings. The compounds are designed to treat inflammatory and fibrotic diseases by targeting the endocannabinoid system.

In consideration of the license and other rights granted by Jenrin, the Company paid Jenrin a $250,000 upfront cash payment and is obligated to pay potential milestone payments to Jenrin totaling up to $18,400,000 for each compound it elects to develop based upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones. In addition, Corbus is obligated to pay Jenrin royalties in the mid, single digits based on net sales of any Licensed Products, subject to specified reductions.

The Company entered into a license agreement (the “Milky Way License Agreement”) with Milky Way BioPharma, LLC (“Milky Way”), a subsidiary of Panorama Research Inc., effective May 25, 2021. Pursuant to the Milky Way License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive license, under certain patent rights and know-how owned or controlled by Milky Way, to develop, commercialize, and otherwise exploit products containing antibodies against integrin αvβ6 and/or integrin αvβ8 (“Licensed Products”), one of which the Company is referring to as CRB-602. Under the terms of the Milky Way License Agreement, the Company will have sole responsibility for research, development, and commercialization of any Licensed Products, and Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform these activities.

In consideration for the license and other rights granted to the Company under the Milky Way License Agreement, the Company paid Milky Way an upfront payment of $500,000 and issued to Milky Way 147,875 shares of its common stock. The Company is obligated to pay up to $53,000,000 in potential milestone payments for the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and sales milestones. At the Company’s election, the Company may satisfy a portion of certain milestone payments by issuing shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay royalties in the low, single digits on sales of Licensed Products during the life of the applicable licensed patents on a country-by-county and product-by-product basis, which is subject to a minimum annual royalty obligation, as well as a percentage share of certain payments received by Company from sublicensees

The Company entered into a license agreement (the “UCSF License Agreement”) with the Regents of the University of California (“The Regents”) effective May 26, 2021. Pursuant to the UCSF License Agreement, the Company received an exclusive license to certain patents relating to humanized antibodies against integrin αvβ8, one of which the Company is referring to as CRB-601, along with non-exclusive licenses to certain related know-how and materials.

In consideration for the license and other rights granted to the Company under the UCSF License Agreement, the Company paid The Regents a license issue fee of $1,500,000 and is obligated to pay an annual license maintenance fee, as well as up to $153,000,000 in potential milestone payments for the achievement of certain development, regulatory, and sales milestones. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay royalties in the low, single digits on sales of products falling within the scope of the licensed patents, which is subject to a minimum annual royalty obligation, and a percentage share of certain payments received by Company from sublicensees or in connection with the sale of the licensed program.

The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the Jenrin Agreement was attributable to a single in-process research and development asset which did not constitute a business. The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the Milky Way License Agreement and the UCSF License Agreement was attributable to separate groups of in-process research and development assets which did not constitute a business. The Company concluded that it did not electhave any alternative future use for the acquired in-process research and development assets. Thus, the Company recorded the various upfront payment to research and development expenses in the quarter the license deals became effective. The Company will account for forfeituresthe development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments in the period that the relevant milestones are achieved as they occur but rather to continue to estimate forfeitures at grant date. As a resulteither research and development expense or as an intangible asset as applicable. To date, the adoptionCompany has made no milestone payments under any of ASU 2016-09 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.above agreements.

The fair value of each option award for employees is estimated on the date of grant and for non-employees is estimated at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. DueThe Company uses historical data, as well as subsequent events occurring prior to the issuance of the financial statements, to estimate option exercises and employee terminations in order to estimate its limited operating history and limited number of sales of its common stock, the Company estimated its volatility in consideration of a number of factors, including the volatility of comparable public companies and, commencing in 2015, the Company also included the volatility of its own common stock.forfeiture rate. The expected term of options granted under the 2014 Plan, all of which qualify as “plain vanilla” per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, is determined based on the simplified method due to the Company’s limited operating history, and is 6.25 years based on the average between the vesting period and the contractual life of the option. For non-employee options, the expected term is the contractual term. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent with the option.

 

The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeitures, which are estimated at 5%.

The weighted average of assumptions used principally in determining the fair value of options granted to employees and non-employees were as follows:

15. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

On July 28, 2020, the Company, with its subsidiary, Corbus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as borrower, entered into a $50,000,000 secured Loan and Security Agreement with K2HV, an unrelated third party (the “Loan Agreement”) and received the first $20,000,000 tranche upon signing. The Company has determined that a prepayment feature and default feature needed to be separately valued and marked to market each reporting period after assessing the agreement under ASC 815.

The value of these features are determined each reporting period by taking the present value of net cash flows with and without the prepayment features. The significant assumption used to determine the fair value of the debt without any features is the discount rate which has been estimated by using published market rates of triple CCC rated public companies. All other inputs are taken from the Loan Agreement. The additional significant assumptions used when valuing the prepayment feature is the probability of a change of control event. The Company has determined the probability from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 has stayed consistent. The additional significant assumption used when valuing the default feature is the probability of defaulting on the repayment of loan. The Company has determined the probability from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 has remained consistent. The value of these features was determined to be approximately $133,710 at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, which resulted in 0 expense recognized in the first six months of 2022. The Company considers the fair value of the derivative liability to be Level 3 under the three-tier fair value hierarchy.

Overview

We are a clinical stage pharmaceutical company,“Corbus”) is focused on the development of immune modulators that will have application in disease states spanning from immuno-oncology to fibrosis. Corbus’ current pipeline includes anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies that block activation of TGFβ and commercializationsmall molecules that activate or inhibit the endocannabinoid system. The company plans to expand its pipeline in immuno-oncology through internal efforts and business development.

The pipeline includes the following programs:

1.
Anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that inhibit the activation of novel therapeuticsTGFβ for the treatment of cancer and fibrosis. CRB-601 is an anti-αvβ8 mAb being developed as a potential treatment for solid tumors in combination with existing therapies, including checkpoint inhibitors. The solid tumor program is scheduled for an IND submission to the FDA in the first half of 2023. CRB-602 is a discovery stage anti-αvβ6/αvβ8 mAb currently being explored in disease indications including oncology and fibrosis.
2.
Second generation cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) inverse agonists designed to treat rare, chronicobesity and serious inflammatoryrelated metabolic diseases. In animal models of diet-induced obesity, our compounds induce weight loss both as a monotherapy and fibrotic diseasesin combination with clear unmet medical needs. Our product anabasuma GLP-1 agonist. The program is progressing through preclinical studies and regulatory pathway evaluation.
3.
Lenabasum, a novel, synthetic, oral endocannabinoid-mimetic drug that is intended to resolve chronic inflammation and halt fibrotic processes without causing immunosuppression. Anabasum has generated positive clinical data in three consecutive Phase 2 studies in diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis, cystic fibrosis and dermatomyositis. Anabasum is also being evaluated in open-label extension studies in systemic sclerosis and skin-predominant dermatomyositis.

Anabasum is a synthetic, rationally-designed oral small molecule drug that selectively binds to theactivates cannabinoid receptor type 2 or CB2, found on activated immune cells, fibroblasts and muscle cells. Anabasum stimulates the production of Specialized Pro-Resolving Lipid Mediators (SPMs) that act to resolve inflammation and halt fibrosis by activating endogenous pathways. These endogenous resolution pathways are normally activated in healthy individuals during the course of normal immune responses but are dysfunctional in patients with chronic inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. Through its activation of the CB2 receptor, anabasum is designed to drive innate immune responses from the activation phase through completion of the resolution phase. The CB2 receptor plays an endogenous role in modulating and resolving inflammation by, in effect, turning heightened inflammation “off” and restoring homeostasis.

(CB2). We are currently developing anabasum to treat four life-threatening diseases: systemic sclerosis; cystic fibrosis; diffuse cutaneous, skin-predominant dermatomyositis; and systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE. The United States Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, has granted anabasum Orphan Designation as well as Fast Track Status for both cystic fibrosis and systemic sclerosis. The European Medicines Authority, or the EMA, has granted anabasum Orphan Designation for both cystic fibrosis and systemic sclerosis.

In November 2016, we reported positive clinical data in a Phase 2 anabasum study for the treatment of systemic sclerosis. Following an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, we submitted a protocol to the FDA on March 31, 2017 forcompleted a Phase 3 study in systemic sclerosis. We also received protocol assistance from the EMA on the Phase 3 study design. We expect to commence the Phase 3 studydermatomyositis in systemic sclerosis in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In December 2016, we completed a Phase 2 study in cystic fibrosis and at the end of March 2017 we reported positive top-line data from this study. We are in the process of developing the protocol design for a Phase 2b clinical trial and have received guidance on the design of the clinical protocol for the study from the Cystic Fibrosis Therapeutic Development Network. We also plan to obtain guidance from the FDA and the EMA on the clinical protocol design. We are currently planning for and finalizing the design of the Phase 2b study in cystic fibrosis and expect to commence this study in the fourth quarter of 2017. We also expect to commence a Phase 2 study in SLE during the fourth quarter of 2017.

On October 19, 2017, we reported positive clinical data in a Phase 2 anabasum study for the treatment of skin-predominant dermatomyositis. We plan toJune 2021 which did not meet with the FDA to discuss the next steps in the clinical development program in dermatomyositis.

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. Our research and development activities have included conducting pre-clinical studies, developing manufacturing methods and the manufacturing of our drug anabasum for clinical trials and conducting clinical studies in patients. Three of the four clinical programs for anabasum are being supported, or have been supported, by non-dilutive awards and grants.its primary endpoint. The National Institutes of Health, or NIH, is funding the majorityHealth-sponsored Phase 2 study of lenabasum in systemic lupus erythematosus has completed its last patient visit and the clinical development costsdatabase had been locked. The Company awaits topline results. The Company does not plan to conduct additional clinical studies for the dermatomyositisLenabasum and SLE Phase 2 clinical trials, and the Phase 2 clinical trial in cystic fibrosis has been supported by a $5 million award from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc., or CFFT, a non-profit drug discovery and development affiliate of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

We have never been profitable and from inception through Septemberat June 30, 2017, our losses from operations have been2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $55.0 million.$372,420,000. Our net losses for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021, were approximately $6,966,000$13,249,000 and $5,347,000, respectively and for the nine$17,138,000, respectively. For six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021, our net losses were approximately $21,728,000$22,686,000 and $12,428,000, respectively. $33,204,000, respectively,

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. We expect our expenses to increase significantlycontinue to decline in connection with2022 as compared to 2021 due to the completion of our ongoing activitieslenabasum clinical studies and a reduction in personnel. We do not plan to develop, seek regulatory approval ofconduct additional clinical studies for lenabasum. While we expect expenses to decline in 2022, we will still incur significant operating losses and commercialize anabasum. Accordingly,accordingly we will need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include government grants and collaborations with third parties. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

 

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. We expect our expenses will increase substantially in the remainder of 2017 and in the futureyears in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

conduct preclinical and clinical trials for our product candidates;
continue our research and development efforts; and
manufacture drugs for clinical studies.

 

conduct clinical trials for anabasum in scleroderma, cystic fibrosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other indications;
continue our research and development efforts;
manufacture clinical study materials and develop commercial scale manufacturing capabilities;
seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;
add personnel to support development of our product candidates; and
operate as a public company

Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesRevenue Recognition

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments for all assets and liabilities, including those related to stock-based compensation expense. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

21

We believe that full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances that we may be subject to, and the consolidated financial statements accurately reflect our best estimate of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented.

As of March 8, 2022, at the time of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the issuanceyear ended December 31, 2021, our calculated public float was below $75.0 million and salewe will be subject to baby shelf rules for any offerings conducted on our shelf registration statement. As of 3,887,815August 9, 2022, the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates, or the public float, was $37.5 million, which was calculated based on 124,695,962 shares of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates at a price of $0.30 per share, the closing price of our common stock in a registered direct offering to institutional and accredited investors at a purchase priceon July 8, 2022. As such, we will be restricted from selling more than $12.5 million of $7.00 per share with net proceeds to us totaling $27,177,102. In November 2016, we entered into a sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald under which we directed Cantor Fitzgerald as our placement agent to sell common stock under an “At the Market Offering” (“Sales Agreement”). Sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement were madesecurities pursuant to an effectivea shelf registration statement for anin any twelve-month period, so long as the aggregate offering of up to $35 million.

All sales of common stock under the Sales Agreement occurred in the first quarter of 2017 and we did not sell any shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement during the second or third quarter of 2017. The Sales Agreement was terminated in connection with the October 2017 Offering discussed below.held by non-affiliates is less than $75.0 million.

 

On October 26, 2017, we consummated an underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 4,650,000 shares of our common stock to institutional investors at a purchase price of $7.00 per share with net proceeds to us totaling approximately $30,397,000 (“October 2017 Offering”).We also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 697,500 shares of common stock on the same terms as the underwriters were purchasing the base number of shares. We expect to use the net proceeds from theOctober 2017 Offeringto fund our continued development of anabasum and for general corporate purposes, which may include funding preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing anabasum for clinical trials and commercial launch, and acquisitions or investments in businesses, products or technologies that are complementary, and to increase our working capital and fund capital expenditures.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued 239,817 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options to purchase common stock and we received proceeds of $109,053 from these exercises. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included principal payments on notes payable of approximately $272,000 in connection with our loan agreement with a financing company.

We will need to raise significant additional capital to continue to fund operations and the discovery and pre-clinical costs for our product candidates. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures, including delaying or discontinuing certain clinical trials for anabasum.activities. We may seek to sell common stock, including sales under our Sales Agreement, preferred stock or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. In addition, we may seek to raise cash through collaborative agreements or from government grants. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights.

 

The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of our clinical development programs.

Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Lack of necessary funds may require us, among other things, to delay, scale back or eliminate expenses including some or all of our planned clinical trials.

We began occupying this space in November 2016 and the lease for this office space was to terminate in January 2021. On August 21, 2017, we entered into a lease agreement (“August 2017 Lease Agreement”) with the existing landlord, pursuant to which we agreed to lease 32,733 square feet of office space (“Leased Premises”) in a building different than under the September 2016 Amendment. The initial term of the August 2017 Lease Agreement is for a period of seven years and is expected to begin upon the earlier of the date of our completion of the work to be performed to prepare the Leased Premises for our initial occupancy or February 18, 2018. The base rent for the Leased Premises ranges from approximately $470,000 for the first year to $908,341 for the seventh year. Additionally, the August 2017 Lease Agreement required us to provide a standby irrevocable letter of credit of $400,000, which may be reduced, if we are not in default under the August 2017 Lease Agreement, to $300,000 and $200,000 on the third and fourth anniversary of the commencement date, respectively, We entered into an unsecured letter of credit for $400,000 in connection with the August 2017 Lease Agreement. The September 2016 Amendment will be terminated upon the commencement date of the August 2017 Lease Agreement.
(2)On December 30, 2015, we entered into a lease agreement for a copier machine. The machine was placed in service in January 2016. The lease is for a three-year term and includes a bargain purchase option at the end of the term.

We may enter into contracts in the normal course of business with clinical research organizations for clinical trials and clinical supply manufacturing and with vendors for pre-clinical research studies, research supplies and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore, we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements are not material. As of September 30, 2017, other than the items in the table above, we had no material contractual obligations or commitments that will affect our future liquidity.

The Milky Way Agreement may be terminated earlier in specified situations, including termination for material breach or termination by Corbus with advance notice.

License Agreement with UCSF

Pursuant to the terms of the UCSF Agreement, we are obligated to pay potential milestone payments to UCSF totaling up to $153.0 million based upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones. In addition, we are obligated to pay UCSF royalties in the lower, single digits based on net sales of any Licensed Products, as defined in the UCSF Agreement.

The UCSF Agreement will remain in effect until the expiration or abandonment of the last of the Patent Rights licensed. The Royalty Term is the duration of Patent Rights in that country covering the applicable Licensed Product or Licensed Services Sold in the country. The UCSF Agreement may be terminated earlier in specified situations, including termination for material breach, termination by Corbus with advance notice and termination upon a party's bankruptcy.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs of expenses and related disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current economic and industry conditions and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our critical accounting policies that involve the most judgement and complexity are those relating to:

stock based compensation;

accrued research and development expenses; and

right of use assets and lease liabilities;

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock options are granted with an exercise price at no less than fair market value at the date of the grant. The stock options normally expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock option awards vest upon terms determined by our Board.

We recognize compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, members of our Board and consultants. The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Due to our limited operating history, we estimated our volatility in consideration of a number of factors, including the volatility of comparable public companies and, commencing in 2015, we also included the volatility of our own common stock. We use historical data, as well as subsequent events occurring prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, to estimate option exercise and employee forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted to employees under our stock plans is based on the average of the contractual term (generally 10 years) and the vesting period (generally 48 months). The expected term of options granted under the 2014 Plan, all of which qualify as “plain vanilla” per SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, is based on the average of the 6.25 years. For non-employee options, the expected term is the contractual term. The risk-free rate is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a term consistent with the option. We estimate the forfeiture rate at the time of grant and revise it, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on management’s expectation through industry knowledge and historical data. We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have assumed no dividend yield for purposes of estimating the fair value of our share-based compensation.

Accrued Research and Development Expenses

As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we are required to estimate and accrue expenses, the largest of which are research and development expenses. This process involves: communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual cost; estimating and accruing expenses in our financial statements as of each balance sheet date based on facts and circumstances known to us at the time; and periodically confirming the accuracy of our estimates with selected service providers and making adjustments, if necessary.

Examples of estimated research and development expenses that we accrue include:

fees paid to CROs in connection with nonclinical studies;
fees paid to contract manufacturers in connection with the production of lenabasum for clinical trials;
fees paid to CRO and research institutions in connection with conducting of clinical studies; and
professional service fees for consulting and related services.

We base our expense accruals related to clinical studies on our estimates of the services performed pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage clinical studies on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements 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 patients and the completion of clinical study milestones. Our service providers invoice us monthly in arrears for services performed. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If we do not identify costs that we have begun to incur 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 experienced significant changes in our estimates of accrued research and development expenses following each applicable reporting period. However, due to the nature of estimates, we cannot assure you that we will not make changes to our estimates in the future as we become aware of additional information regarding the status or conduct of our clinical studies and other research activities.

Leases

We lease our office space. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This is the rate we would have to pay if borrowing on a collateralized basis over a similar term to each lease. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has subleased a portion of its leased facility under an agreement considered to be an operating lease according to GAAP. The Company has not been legally released from its primary obligations under the original lease and therefore it continues to account for the original lease as it did before commencement of the sublease. The Company will record both fixed and variable payments received from the sublessee in its statement of operations on a straight-line basis as an offset to rent expense.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our exposure to market risk is limited to our cash and cash equivalents, all of which have maturities of three months or less. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, because of the short-term nature of the instruments in our portfolio, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial condition and/or results of operation. We do not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments.Not Applicable.

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and ProceduresProcedures.

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring 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 the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. From time to time, we make changes to our internal control over financial reporting that are intended to enhance its effectiveness and which do not have a material effect on our overall internal control over financial reporting.
