Notes to Financial Statements | |
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations | Unaudited Interim Financial Information |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cellceutix Corporation have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014. | |
In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three month periods have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. When used in these notes, the terms "Company", "we", "us" or "our" mean Cellceutix Corporation. | |
Cellceutix Corporation, formerly known as EconoShare, Inc., (“Cellceutix” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 1, 2005. On December 6, 2007, the Company acquired Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 20, 2007, in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the exchange, Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company and has no customers, products or revenues to date. | |
The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the Over the Counter market (OTC), symbol “CTIX”. | |
All amounts, where it is designated in these notes to the financial statements as an approximate amount, are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. | |
Nature of Operations | |
Overview | |
We are in the business of developing innovative small molecule therapies to treat diseases with significant medical need, particularly in the areas of cancer and inflammatory disease. Our strategy is to use our business and scientific expertise to maximize the value of our pipeline. We will do this by focusing initially on our lead compounds, Brilacidin, Kevetrin and Prurisol and advancing them as quickly as possible along the regulatory pathway. We will develop the highest quality data and broadest intellectual property to support our compounds. | |
We currently own all development and marketing rights to our products. In order to successfully develop and market our products, we may have to partner with other companies. Prospective partners may require that we grant them significant development and/or commercialization rights in return for agreeing to share the risk of development and/or commercialization. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
Note 2 - Going Concern | The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2014, we had $9,469,000 in cash and cash equivalents. We have expended substantial funds on the research and development of our product candidates. Our net losses incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, amounted to $7,148,000 and $4,554,000, respectively, and we have a working capital of approximately $1,828,000 at December 31, 2014 and a working capital (deficit) of approximately $(4,090,000) at June 30, 2014. In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate additional financing. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the use of equity securities, debt issuance and loans from an officer to pay for its operations. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the issuance of debt and the sale of equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. On October 25, 2013, we terminated a previous agreement with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Aspire Capital”), and entered into a new stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital. |
The Purchase Agreement provides that upon meeting the terms of the agreement, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of our shares of Class A Common Stock over the approximately 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 210,523 shares of its Class A Common Stock as a commitment fee. The commitment fee will be amortized as the funding is received. The unamortized portion is carried on the balance sheet as deferred offering costs. Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file one or more registration statements as permissible and necessary under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for the sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. On November 4, 2013, the Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 15, 2013. | |
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |||||||||||||||||
Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Use of Estimates | ||||||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contract research accruals, recoverability of long-lived assets, measurement of stock-based compensation, and the periods of performance under collaborative research and development agreements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||||||||||||
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts (checking) that at times exceed federally insured limits. Approximately $9.5 million is subject to credit risk at December 31, 2014. However, these cash balances are maintained at creditworthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. | |||||||||||||||||
Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share | |||||||||||||||||
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants and convertible notes payable. Common share equivalents of 44.6 million and 47.6 million were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||
The stock-based compensation expense incurred by Cellceutix for employees and directors in connection with its stock option plan is based on the employee model of ASC 718, and the fair market value of the options is measured at the grant date. Under ASC 718 employee is defined as “An individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S.“tax regulations”. Our consultants do not meet the employer-employee relationship as defined by the IRS and therefore are accounted for under ASC 505-50. | |||||||||||||||||
ASC 505-50-30-11 (previously EITF 96-18) further provides that an issuer shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date: | |||||||||||||||||
i. | The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); and | ||||||||||||||||
ii. | The date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. | ||||||||||||||||
We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Restricted stock units are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. We recognize stock-based compensation using the straight-line method. | |||||||||||||||||
The components of share-based compensation related to stock options in the Company’s Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows (rounded to nearest thousand): | |||||||||||||||||

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||||||||
Recently Adopted Standards | |||||||||||||||||
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation." This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU effective with our Annual Report on Form 10-K and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures. | |||||||||||||||||
ASU 2014-15 – “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).” In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, starting December 15, 2016; the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018. | |||||||||||||||||
Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted | |||||||||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance for the reporting of discontinued operations, which also contains new disclosure requirements for both discontinued operations and other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Entities can choose to apply the guidance using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the accounting for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. In this case, the performance target would be required to be treated as a performance condition, and should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. The guidance also addresses when to recognize the related compensation cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently reviewing this guidance to determine the impact it may have, if any, on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amendments in this ASU apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU is the final version of Proposed ASU EITF-13D--Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. As indicated in the definition of vest, the stated vesting period (which includes the period in which the performance target could be achieved) may differ from the requisite service period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not evaluated whether ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

For the period from October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2014, | |
$20 million Class A Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC – (“New Agreement’ or “October 2013 Agreement”) | |
On October 25, 2013, we terminated a previous agreement with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (Aspire Capital), and entered into a new Class A Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Aspire Capital, which provides that upon meeting the terms of the agreement, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of our shares of Class A Common Stock over the approximately 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital 210,523 shares of our Class A Common Stock as a commitment fee. The commitment fee of $373,000 will be amortized as the funding is received. The amortized amount of $84,000 and $201,000 was debited to additional paid-in capital for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2014. The unamortized portion is carried on the balance sheet as deferred offering costs and was $94,000 at December 31, 2014. | |
Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file one or more registration statements as permissible and necessary under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for the sale of shares of our Class A Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. On November 4, 2013, the Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 15, 2013. | |
Under the Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by the Company which the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock exceeds $0.25 per share, we may direct Aspire Capital to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock per trading day. The Purchase Price of such shares is equal to the lesser of a) the lowest sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the purchase date; or b) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our Class A Common Stock during the twelve consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date. | |
In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital for purchase of at least 100,000 Purchase Shares and the closing sale price of our stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, we also have the right to direct Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of the our Class A Common Stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board on the next trading day, subject to the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum and the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold, which is equal to the greater of (a) 90% of the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date or (b) such higher price as set forth by the Company in the VWAP Purchase Notice. The VWAP Purchase Price of such shares is the lower of (a) the Closing Sale Price on the VWAP Purchase Date; or 95% of the volume-weighted average price for our Class A Common Stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board; and (b)on the VWAP Purchase Date, if the aggregate shares to be purchased on that date have not exceeded the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum or during that portion of the VWAP Purchase Date until such time as the sooner to occur of (i) the time at which the aggregate shares traded on the OTC Bulletin Board exceed the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum or (ii) the time at which the sale price of our Class A Common Stock falls below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold. | |
The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the trading day(s) used to compute the purchase price. We may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed. | |
Under the Purchase Agreement, we and Aspire Capital may not affect any sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement on any trading day that the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock is less than $0.25 per share. | |
The Company is never under any obligation to sell shares to Aspire Capital Fund. Aspire Capital Fund has no rights to require the Company to sell shares. | |
During the period from October 25, 2013 to December 31, 2014, the Company had completed sales to Aspire totaling 7,500,000 shares of common stock generating gross proceeds of approximately $14.9 million. As of December 31, 2014, a balance of $5.1 million remains and is available under the financing arrangement. | |

Significant Accounting Policies And Recent Accounting Pronouncements Policies | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contract research accruals, recoverability of long-lived assets, measurement of stock-based compensation, and the periods of performance under collaborative research and development agreements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts (checking) that at times exceed federally insured limits. Approximately $9.5 million is subject to credit risk at December 31, 2014. However, these cash balances are maintained at creditworthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. | ||||||||||||||||
Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share | Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants and convertible notes payable. Common share equivalents of 44.6 million and 47.6 million were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive. | ||||||||||||||||
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation | The stock-based compensation expense incurred by Cellceutix for employees and directors in connection with its stock option plan is based on the employee model of ASC 718, and the fair market value of the options is measured at the grant date. Under ASC 718 employee is defined as “An individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S.“tax regulations”. Our consultants do not meet the employer-employee relationship as defined by the IRS and therefore are accounted for under ASC 505-50. | ||||||||||||||||
ASC 505-50-30-11 (previously EITF 96-18) further provides that an issuer shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date: | |||||||||||||||||
i. | The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); and | ||||||||||||||||
ii. | The date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. | ||||||||||||||||
We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Restricted stock units are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. We recognize stock-based compensation using the straight-line method. | |||||||||||||||||

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation." This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU effective with our Annual Report on Form 10-K and its adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures. | |||||||||||||||||
ASU 2014-15 – “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).” In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, starting December 15, 2016; the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018. | |||||||||||||||||
Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted | |||||||||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance for the reporting of discontinued operations, which also contains new disclosure requirements for both discontinued operations and other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Entities can choose to apply the guidance using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Management believes that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the accounting for share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. In this case, the performance target would be required to be treated as a performance condition, and should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. The guidance also addresses when to recognize the related compensation cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Management is currently reviewing this guidance to determine the impact it may have, if any, on our financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amendments in this ASU apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU is the final version of Proposed ASU EITF-13D--Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. As indicated in the definition of vest, the stated vesting period (which includes the period in which the performance target could be achieved) may differ from the requisite service period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not evaluated whether ASU 2014-12 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||
