Organization and Description of Business | |
Organization and Description of Business | 1. Organization and Description of Business Nature of Operations Agile Therapeutics, Inc. (“Agile” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 22, 1997. Agile is a women’s health specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of new prescription contraceptive products. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of raising capital and performing research and development. The Company is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey. The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts toward research and development of its transdermal patch for use in contraception, and raising capital. The Company has not generated product revenue to date and is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other early stage companies, including dependence on key individuals, the difficulties inherent in the development of commercially usable products, the potential need to obtain additional capital necessary to fund the development of its products, and competition from larger companies. The Company has incurred losses each year since inception. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $180.5 million. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance and sale of its common stock in both public and private offerings (see Note 7), private placements of its convertible preferred stock, venture loans, and non-dilutive grant funding. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $59.2 million. Although the Company has incurred recurring losses in each year since inception, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflects all adjustments, which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s complete listing of significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2015 included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for common stock warrants, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and accounting for research and development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments , disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments are required, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value (see Note 3). Financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature. Warrants The Company accounts for its warrants to purchase redeemable convertible stock in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . ASC 480 requires that a financial instrument, other than outstanding share, that, at inception, is indexed to an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, regardless of the timing or the probability of the redemption feature, and may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets be classified as a liability. The Company measures the fair value of its warrant liability using an option pricing model with changes in fair value recognized as increases or reductions to other income (expense) in the statement of operations. In connection with the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in May 2014, the warrants to purchase shares of Series A-1 and Series A-2 preferred stock expired unexercised and the warrants to purchase shares of Series C preferred stock automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Warrants with non-standard anti-dilution provisions (referred to as down round protection) are classified as liabilities and re-measured each reporting period. As of June 30, 2016, there were outstanding 62,505 warrants to purchase common stock at $6.00 per share. These warrants expire on December 14, 2019. The warrants issued in connection with the Company’s debt financing completed in February 2015 (see Note 6) are classified as a component of stockholders’ equity. The value of such warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees and non-employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at grant date. Compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted and is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the weighted-average assumption of the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility and expected term. The equity instrument is not considered to be issued until the instrument vests. As a result, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. The Company also awards restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees. RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the completion of the vesting restrictions. The Company expenses the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. Awards for consultants are accounted for under ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees . Any compensation expense related to consultants is marked-to-market over the applicable vesting period as they vest. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock warrants, unvested RSUs and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented. Potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common equivalent shares): June 30 2016 2015 Common stock warrants Common stock options Unvested restricted stock units — Total Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 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, which defines management’s responsibility to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2-14-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to U.S. GAAP to simplify the balance sheet presentation of the costs for issuing debt. The changes were adopted in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs , or ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 amends current presentation guidance by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as an asset in the balance sheet. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. As of December 31, 2015, $152 of debt issuance costs were reclassified in the balance sheet from “deferred financing costs, net” to “loan payable, current portion” and $139 was reclassified from “deferred financing costs, net” to “loan payable, long-term”. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases . The new standard 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. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company will be evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on employee share-based payment accounting requiring all tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement or expiration to be recorded through the statement of operations and be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Further, under the new guidance, entities are permitted to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards; whereas forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on financial statements. |

Fair Value Measurements | |
Fair Value Measurements | 3. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , describes the 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. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are reported using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: · Level 1 — Quotes prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no Level 1 liabilities. · Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities. · Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and which require internal development of assumptions about how market participant price the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of the warrant liability. The Company is required to mark the value of its warrant liability to market and recognize the change in valuation in its statements of operations each reporting period. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 June 30, 2016 Assets: Cash equivalents $ $ — $ — Total assets at fair value $ $ — $ — Liabilities: Common stock warrants — — Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ — $ The significant assumptions used in preparing the option pricing model for valuing the Company’s warrants as of June 30, 2016 include (i) volatility (75.0%), (ii) risk free interest rate of 0.71% (estimated using treasury bonds with a 3.50 year life), (iii) strike price ($6.00) for the common stock warrants, (iv) fair value of common stock ($7.61) and (v) expected life (3.50 years). The following is a rollforward of the fair value of Level 3 warrants: Beginning balance at December 31, 2015 $ Change in fair value ) Ending balance at June 30, 2016 $ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 December 31, 2015 Assets: Cash equivalents $ $ — $ — Total assets at fair value $ $ — $ — Liabilities: Common stock warrants — — Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ — $ The significant assumptions used in preparing the option pricing model for valuing the Company’s warrants as of December 31, 2015 include (i) volatility (75.0%), (ii) risk free interest rate of 1.54% (estimated using treasury bonds with a 4 year life), (iii) strike price ($6.00) for the common stock warrants, (iv) fair value of common stock ($9.76) and (v) expected life (four years). There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during 2016 or 2015. If the Company’s estimates regarding the fair value of its warrants are inaccurate, a future adjustment to these estimated fair values may be required. Additionally, these estimated fair values could change significantly. |

Loan and Security Agreements | 6. Loan and Security Agreements Oxford Finance LLC In December 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Oxford Loan”) with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed a total of $15.0 million from Oxford. The Oxford Loan accrued interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 9.20% (Three-month U.S. Libor rate of 0.47% plus 8.73%). Interest on the Oxford Loan was payable monthly and principal was due in 30 equal consecutive monthly installments beginning on February 1, 2015 and ending on July 1, 2017. In addition, the Company was required to make a final payment of $675,000 on the maturity date of the Oxford Loan (July 1, 2017). In connection with the Oxford Loan, the Company issued Oxford warrants to purchase 62,505 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. These warrants expire on December 14, 2019. In February 2015, the Company terminated and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Oxford Loan and recorded a loss on the extinguishment of the Oxford Loan (see further discussion below). Hercules Capital, Inc. In February 2015, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Hercules Loan”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) for a term loan of up to $25.0 million. A first tranche of $16.5 million was funded upon execution of the Hercules Loan, approximately $15.5 million of which was used to repay the Company’s existing term loan with Oxford. The Company is scheduled to make interest-only payments on the loan until July 1, 2016, which period may be extended under certain circumstances. Under the terms of the Hercules Loan, the Company may, but is not obligated to, draw an additional tranche of up to $8.5 million prior to July 1, 2016, subject to the achievement of certain clinical milestones, which may be extended to December 31, 2016 under certain circumstances. The Company is currently in discussions with Hercules to extend the period during which the additional tranche of $8.5 million may be drawn. The Hercules Loan accrues interest at a rate of the greater of 9.0% or 9.0% plus Prime minus 4.25% and is payable monthly. Principal is due in 30 equal consecutive monthly installments beginning on July 1, 2016 and ending on December 1, 2018. In addition, the Company is required to make a final payment of $610,500 on the maturity date of the Hercules Loan (December 1, 2018). The Company may prepay all, but not less than all, of the Hercules Loan subject to a prepayment premium of 2.0% of the outstanding principal if prepaid during the second year (through February 24, 2017) and 1.0% of the outstanding principal if prepaid after February 24, 2017. The obligations of the Company under the Hercules Loan are secured by a perfected first position lien on all of the assets of the Company, excluding intellectual property assets. In connection with the Hercules Loan, the Company issued Hercules a warrant to purchase 180,274 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.89 per share which expires on February 24, 2020 and granted Hercules the right to participate in future equity financings in an amount up to $2.0 million while the loan and warrant are outstanding. The Company allocated the proceeds of $16.5 million in accordance with ASC 470 based on the relative fair values. The relative fair value of the warrants of approximately $1.2 million at the time of issuance, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was recorded as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the debt. The significant assumptions used in preparing the option pricing model for valuing the Company’s warrant issued to Hercules include (i) volatility (75.0%), (ii) risk free interest rate of 1.22% (estimated using treasury bonds with a 4 year life), (iii) strike price ($5.89) for the common stock warrant, (iv) fair value of common stock ($9.82) and (v) expected life (four years). The discount on the debt is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. As a result of the repayment of the Oxford Loan, the Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.0 million on the Company’s statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing a prepayment premium, the unamortized discount of the Oxford Loan and the write off of deferred financing costs. |

The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for common stock warrants, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and accounting for research and development costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments In accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments , disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments are required, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value (see Note 3). Financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature. |
Warrants | Warrants The Company accounts for its warrants to purchase redeemable convertible stock in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . ASC 480 requires that a financial instrument, other than outstanding share, that, at inception, is indexed to an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, regardless of the timing or the probability of the redemption feature, and may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets be classified as a liability. The Company measures the fair value of its warrant liability using an option pricing model with changes in fair value recognized as increases or reductions to other income (expense) in the statement of operations. In connection with the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in May 2014, the warrants to purchase shares of Series A-1 and Series A-2 preferred stock expired unexercised and the warrants to purchase shares of Series C preferred stock automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Warrants with non-standard anti-dilution provisions (referred to as down round protection) are classified as liabilities and re-measured each reporting period. As of June 30, 2016, there were outstanding 62,505 warrants to purchase common stock at $6.00 per share. These warrants expire on December 14, 2019. The warrants issued in connection with the Company’s debt financing completed in February 2015 (see Note 6) are classified as a component of stockholders’ equity. The value of such warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees and non-employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at grant date. Compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted and is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the weighted-average assumption of the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility and expected term. The equity instrument is not considered to be issued until the instrument vests. As a result, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. The Company also awards restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees. RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the completion of the vesting restrictions. The Company expenses the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. Awards for consultants are accounted for under ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees . Any compensation expense related to consultants is marked-to-market over the applicable vesting period as they vest. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock warrants, unvested RSUs and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented. Potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common equivalent shares): June 30 2016 2015 Common stock warrants Common stock options Unvested restricted stock units — Total |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 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, which defines management’s responsibility to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2-14-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to U.S. GAAP to simplify the balance sheet presentation of the costs for issuing debt. The changes were adopted in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs , or ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 amends current presentation guidance by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as an asset in the balance sheet. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. As of December 31, 2015, $152 of debt issuance costs were reclassified in the balance sheet from “deferred financing costs, net” to “loan payable, current portion” and $139 was reclassified from “deferred financing costs, net” to “loan payable, long-term”. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases . The new standard 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. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company will be evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on the Company’s financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on employee share-based payment accounting requiring all tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement or expiration to be recorded through the statement of operations and be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Further, under the new guidance, entities are permitted to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards; whereas forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on financial statements. |
