Note 1 - Basis of Presentation: | |
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Sevion Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. | |
On September 29, 2014, the Company changed its name from Senesco Technologies, Inc. to Sevion Therapeutics, Inc. | |
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of those which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of September 30, 2014 and the results of its operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2014. | |
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to research and development expenses for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows from operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows, and had no effect on the previously reported Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for any period. | |
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. | |

Liquidity | ' | ||
Note 2 – Liquidity: | |||
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a history of losses with an accumulated deficit of $93,478,573 and has generated minimal revenues by licensing its technology for certain crops to companies willing to share in its development costs. In addition, the Company’s technology may not be ready for commercialization for several years. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the next several years because it anticipates that its expenditures on research and development and administrative activities will significantly exceed its revenues during that period. The Company cannot predict when, if ever, it will become profitable. | |||
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $3,837,139, which consisted of checking accounts and money market funds. The Company estimates that its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2014 will cover its expenses through at least March 31, 2015. | |||
On October 22, 2014, the Company’s board of directors decided to suspend all development of the Company’s Factor 5A technology based on the Company’s limited capital resources and the totality of the safety and efficacy data resulting from our Phase 1b/2a clinical trial. Depending on the Company’s future capital resources, possible options for the program are to (i) reformulate the drug to alleviate some of the adverse events observed in the clinical trial and to enhance the efficacy, (ii) partner or sell the program or (iii) discontinue development. The Company’s board of directors continues to evaluate the alternatives. | |||
The Company will need additional capital to operate and expand its research program and plans to raise additional capital possibly through the exercise of outstanding warrants, placement of debt instruments, equity instruments or any combination thereof. However, the Company may not be able to obtain adequate funds for its operations when needed or on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it will need to do one or more of the following: | |||
· | delay, scale-back or eliminate some or all of its research and product development programs; | ||
· | license third parties to develop and commercialize products or technologies that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize itself; | ||
· | seek strategic alliances or business combinations; | ||
· | attempt to sell the Company; | ||
· | cease operations; or | ||
· | declare bankruptcy. | ||

Patent Costs | ' |
Note 3 – Patent Costs: | |
The Company conducts research and development activities, the cost of which is expensed as incurred, in order to generate patents that can be licensed to third parties in exchange for license fees and royalties. Because the patents are the basis of the Company’s future revenue, the patent costs are capitalized. The capitalized patent costs represent the outside legal fees incurred by the Company to submit and undertake all necessary efforts to have such patent applications issued as patents. The Company incurred $260,477 and $142,943 of such costs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |
The length of time that it takes for an initial patent application to be approved is generally between four to six years. However, due to the unique nature of each patent application, the actual length of time may vary. If a patent application is denied, the associated cost of that application would be written off. Additionally, should a patent application become impaired during the application process, the Company would write down or write off the associated cost of that patent application. | |
Issued patents are being amortized over a period of 17 years from inception, the expected economic life of the patent. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded amortization expense in the amount of $24,977 and $74,270, respectively. | |
The Company assesses the impairment in value of intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: | |
• significant negative industry trends; | |
• significant underutilization of the assets; | |
• significant changes in how the Company uses the assets or its plans for their use; and | |
• changes in technology and the appearance of competing technology. | |
If a triggering event occurs and the Company's review determines that the future undiscounted cash flows related to the asset group will not be sufficient to recover their carrying value, the Company will reduce the carrying values of these assets down to its estimate of fair value and continue amortizing them over their remaining useful lives. | |
In October 2014, the Company decided to continue to develop our intellectual property only with respect to the human health therapeutic targets and would be reviewing such patents on a patent by patent basis to determine which specific ones to continue to develop. Also, in October 2014, the Company decided to suspend all development of the Factor 5A technology based on the Company’s limited capital resources and the totality of the safety and efficacy data resulting from our Phase 1b/2a clinical trial. As the Company is unable to determine if or when the development will be resumed, the Company was unable to determine what the future undiscounted cash flows from these patents could be. Therefore, as of September 30, 2014, the Company determined that carrying value of its patents and patent applications related to Factor 5A were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of the full carrying value of its patents related to Factor 5A in the amount of $2,290,836. | |
Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company concluded its Phase 1b /2a clinical trial but did not use all of the material purchased for the clinical trial. As the Company has put the clinical program for this product candidate on hold, the Company wrote-off the cost of the remaining material in the amount of $669,750 at September 30, 2014. | |

Note 4 - Loss Per Share: | ||||||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of the Company’s Common Stock assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of Common Stock had been issued and if the additional shares of Common Stock were dilutive. | ||||||
For all periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, as any additional Common Stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Note 5 – Stock-Based Compensation: | |||||||||||
The terms and vesting schedules for share-based awards vary by type of grant and the employment status of the grantee. Generally, the awards vest based upon time-based conditions or achievement of specified goals and milestones. | |||||||||||
On September 13, 2013, the Company issued 46,780 options that are subject to vesting first based upon specified goals and milestones and then based upon time-based conditions. On the issuance date, such options had an aggregate Black-Scholes value of $201,154. In September, 2014, the Company and the Company’s compensation committee reviewed the specified goals and milestones on an employee by employee basis. Based upon the review, the Company and the Company’s compensation committee determined that, on average, the employees achieved 81% of the target goals. As a result, the Company is recognizing 81% of the aggregate fair value of the options ratably over the time-based vesting period and the remaining 19% of those options were forfeited. | |||||||||||
Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued an additional 26,500 options that are subject to time-based conditions only. On the issuance date, such options had an aggregate Black-Scholes value of $108,650. | |||||||||||
The Company did not issue any options during the three month period ended September 30, 2014. | |||||||||||

Note 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. | |
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under the new guidance, management will be required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this ASU may have on our financial statements or disclosures. | |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition, and apply existing guidance under the Stock Compensation Topic of the ASC as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The provisions of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this ASU may have on our financial position and results of operations. | |
