Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2021 (the “2021 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC related to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tyme Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary, Tyme Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in ASC and ASU of the FASB. |
Principles of Consolidation | The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 included in the Company’s 2021 10-K. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposit accounts, money market funds and municipal debt securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities All of the Company's marketable securities are debt securities and are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with the ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Available for sale securities are carried at fair value and reported in cash equivalents and marketable securities. For individual debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities where there has been a decline in fair value below amortized cost, the Company determines whether the decline resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for a credit loss is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the severance payable approximates the carrying value, which represents the present value of future severance payments. Cash equivalents, marketable securities and the derivative warrant liability are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received if selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company’s financial assets are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy, and their applicability to the Company’s financial assets, are described below. Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date of identical, unrestricted assets. Level 2 : Quoted prices for similar assets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to the security. Level 3 : Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets. Level 3 assets include private investments that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 valuations are for instruments that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions and may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with such adjustment generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either Level 1 or Level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy. The Company had no material re-measurements of fair value with respect to financial assets and liabilities, during the periods presented, other than those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis see Note 6 . |
Derivative Warrant Liability | Derivative Warrant Liability Certain freestanding common stock warrants that are related to the issuance of common stock are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value due to characteristics that require liability accounting, primarily the obligation to issue registered shares of common stock upon notification of exercise or certain price protection provisions. Warrants of this type are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As noted in Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, the Company classifies a warrant to purchase shares of its common stock as a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet if the warrant is a free-standing financial instrument that contains certain price protection features that cause the warrants to be treated as derivatives or requires the issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. Each warrant of this type is initially recorded at fair value on date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black-Scholes model, and is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of the warrant are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrant. The Company utilizes Level 3 fair value criteria to measure the fair value of the warrants (see Note 6). |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to those risks associated with any biotechnology company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants, as well as third party contractors. Current Economic Conditions The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and actions taken by governments and others to reduce its spread, has negatively impacted the global economy, financial markets, and the Company’s industry and has disrupted day-to-day life and business operations. Even as certain restrictions have been lifted, new processes implemented and vaccines have become more widely available and administered, spikes in infections (including the spread of new variants) continue to be experienced as conditions evolve and fluctuate around the world. The extent to which the continuing COVID-19 pandemic impacts our product candidates and business, including patients’ willingness to participate and remain in clinical trials, the timing of meeting enrollment expectations, the ability of our third-party partners to remain operational and our access to capital markets and financing sources, depends on numerous evolving factors that are highly uncertain, cannot be accurately predicted, and may be significant. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes Income Taxes In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 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) The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, 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. FASB also specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period. The Company adopted the pronouncement as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
Fair Value Measurements | The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 are as follows: Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs September 30, 2021 Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Financial assets Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 6,726,462 $ 6,726,462 $ — $ — Marketable Securities Short-term Corporate debt securities 16,267,438 — 16,267,438 — Municipal debt securities 30,027,345 — 30,027,345 — Long-term Corporate debt securities 7,383,159 — 7,383,159 — Municipal debt securities 12,986,229 — 12,986,229 — $ 73,390,633 $ 6,726,462 $ 66,664,171 $ — Financial liability Warrant liability $ 862,612 $ — $ — $ 862,612 March 31, 2021 Financial liability Warrant liability $ 1,931,921 $ — $ — $ 1,931,921 Fair values of available-for-sale securities are generally based on prices obtained from commercial pricing services. The fair value of cash equivalents held in money market funds is determined based on “Level 1” inputs. Marketable securities classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy consist of corporate debt securities and municipal debt securities. We estimate the fair values of these marketable securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources. These pricing sources utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include market pricing based on real-time trade data for the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark yields, and other observable inputs. The fair value measurement for the warrant issued in conjunction with the Exchange Agreements (see Note 8 for transaction details) (the “May 2020 Warrant”) is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and is classified as Level 3 liability as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The fair value of the May 2020 Warrant was determined using a Black Scholes model and included significant unobservable inputs such as volatility. The model also incorporated several observable assumptions at each valuation date including: the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of valuation, the remaining contractual term of the warrant and the risk free interest rate over the term. The following table details key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the May 2020 Warrant as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 using a Black Scholes model: May 2020 Warrant May 2020 Warrants September 30, 2021 March 31, 2021 Stock price $ 1.03 $ 1.78 Volatility 89 % 78 % Remaining term (years) 2.51 3.01 Expected dividend yield — — Risk-free rate 0.41 % 0.35 % The following table summarizes activity for liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs: September 30, 2021 Beginning balance, March 31, 2021 $ 1,931,921 Change in fair value of May 2020 Warrant liability (1,069,309 ) Ending balance, September 30, 2021 $ 862,612 |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Exchange Agreements On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into exchange agreements with holders (the “Holders”) of the warrants issued in April 2019 (the “April 2019 Warrants”). The April 2019 Warrants were offered and issued pursuant to the Company’s previous shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211489). Pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”) with Holders of the April 2019 Warrants to purchase 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,406,250 shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for such April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, each such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement (a “Share Leak-Out Agreement”) that contained trading restrictions with respect to the Exchange Shares, which (i) for the first 90 days, prohibit any sales of Exchange Shares, (ii) for the subsequent 90 days, limit sales of Exchange Shares on any day to 2.5% of that day’s trading volume of Common Stock, and (iii) prohibit new short positions or short sales on Common Stock for the combined 180 day period. The Company also entered into an exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with another Holder of April 2019 Warrants to purchase 2,166,667 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, the Company issued such Holder a new warrant (the “May 2020 Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock. The May 2020 Warrant has the same expiration date, April 2, 2024, as the April 2019 Warrants, but has an exercise price of $1.80 and does not include certain price protection, anti-dilution provisions or other restrictions on Company action from the April 2019 Warrants. Concurrently therewith, such Holder executed and delivered to the Company a leak-out agreement that contained trading restrictions on sales of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the May 2020 Warrant that are substantially similar to the restrictions on Exchange Shares in the Share Leak-Out Agreement, provided that the leak-out restrictions will only apply to the first 893,750 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the May 2020 Warrant. The April 2019 Warrants were remeasured as of May 20, 2020, before the exchange, using the Monte Carlo pricing simulation resulting in a fair value of approximately $7.3 million, and the change in fair value from March 31, 2020 to the fair value before the exchange of approximately $3.7 million was recorded as an expense component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: $1.70 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.28% risk free rate and the probability of fundamental transactions occurring. At May 20, 2020, the fair value of the 2,406,250 shares issued under the Share Exchange Agreements was approximately $3.4 million and resulted in a gain on exchange of approximately $1.9 million. The exercise price of the May 2020 Warrant is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company determined that the May 2020 Warrant should be recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the May 2020 Warrant’s contractual provisions requiring issuance of registered common shares upon exercise. At May 20, 2020, the May 2020 Warrant was recorded at the fair value of $1.7 million as determined using the Black Scholes model and the change in fair value before and after the exchange of $0.3 million was recorded as a gain on warrant exchange as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The key assumptions in applying the Black Scholes model were as follows: $1.64 stock price, 73% volatility, 3.87 years remaining term, 0.27% risk free rate and 7% discount for lack of marketability. The change in fair value of the May 2020 Warrant from May 20, 2020 through September 30, 2020 of $0.9 million income was recorded as a component of other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following summarizes the common stock warrant activity for the six months ended September 30, 2021: Warrant Shares of Common Stock Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at March 31, 2021 3,104,318 $ 2.77 Granted — — Exchanged — — Outstanding at September 30, 2021 3,104,318 $ 2.77 At each of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, 3,074,551, of common stock purchase warrants relating to SPAs were outstanding and exercisable. Warrants The Company has warrants to purchase its common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2021, as follows: Issued Classification Warrants Outstanding Exercise Price Expiration December 2015 Equity 446,500 $ 5.00 December 2025 February 2016 Equity 461,384 $ 5.00 February 2026 July 2016 Equity 29,767 $ 5.00 June 2026 May 2020 Liability 2,166,667 $ 1.80 April 2024 At-the-Market Financing Facility On October 18, 2019, the Company entered into the Sale Agreement with Jefferies, which was amended on August 12, 2020, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million through Jefferies, as the Company’s sales agent. As indicated in the amendment, the shares will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Reg. No. 333-245033). Any sales of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Jefferies will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares from time to time, based on the instructions of the Company. The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement. Under the Sale Agreement, the Company is not required to use the full available amount authorized and it may, by giving notice as specified in the Sale Agreement, terminate the Sale Agreement at any time The Company did not sell any shares through the Jefferies ATM during the six months ended September 30, 2021. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Company raised approximately $6.1 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 4,453,939 shares of Common Stock and incurred $0.3 million of related costs that offset the proceeds. At September 30, 2021, there remained approximately $22.2 million of availability to sell shares through the Jefferies ATM. Securities Purchase Agreement On January 7, 2020, the Company and Eagle entered into the Eagle SPA, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Eagle 10,000,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The Eagle SPA provides that Eagle will, subject to certain conditions, make an additional payment of $20 million upon the occurrence of a milestone event, which is defined as the earlier of ( i) achievement of the Registered Direct Offering On 2020 |
