Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company |

In May 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement with Sancilio & Company, Inc., or SCI, to develop drug platforms to be used in our hormone replacement drug candidates. These services include support of our efforts to successfully obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, approval for our drug candidates, including a vaginal capsule for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, or VVA. In connection with the agreement, SCI agreed to forfeit its rights to receive warrants to purchase 833,000 shares of our common stock that were to be granted pursuant to the terms of a prior consulting agreement dated May 17, 2012. As consideration under the agreement, we agreed to grant to SCI a warrant to purchase 850,000 shares of our common stock at $2.01 per share that has vested or will vest, as applicable, as follows: |
|
| 1 | 283,333 shares were earned on May 11, 2013 upon acceptance of an Investigational New Drug application by the FDA for an estradiol-based drug candidate in a softgel vaginal capsule for the treatment of VVA; however, pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, the shares did not vest until June 30, 2013. The fair value of $405,066 for the shares vested on June 30, 2013 was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of vesting using a term of 5 years; a volatility of 45.89%; risk free rate of 1.12%; and a dividend yield of 0%. We recorded the entire $405,066 as non-cash compensation as of June 30, 2013; | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2 | 283,333 shares vested on June 30, 2013. The fair value of $462,196 for these shares was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the vesting using a term of 5 years; a volatility of 45.84%; risk free rate of 1.41%; and a dividend yield of 0%. We recorded $154,068 as prepaid expense-short term and $192,577 as prepaid expense-long term in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $38,517 and $77,034 as non-cash compensation in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements; and | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 3 | 283,334 shares will vest upon the receipt by us of any final FDA approval of a drug candidate that SCI helped us design. It is anticipated that this event will not occur before December 2015. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
As of June 30, 2014, unamortized costs associated with the warrants totaled approximately $1.1 million. |
|
Stock Options to Purchase Common Stock of the Company |
|
On September 25, 2009, our board of directors approved the 2009 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, or the LTIP, to provide financial incentives to our employees, members of the board of directors, and our advisers and consultants who are able to contribute towards the creation of or who have created stockholder value by providing them stock options and other equity and cash incentives, or the Awards. |
|
The Awards available under the LTIP consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, EVA awards, and other stock or cash awards as described in the LTIP. There are 25,000,000 shares authorized for issuance under the LTIP. Under the LTIP, non-qualified stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 14,554,654 shares of our common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2014. |
|
On February 23, 2012, our board of directors approved the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, and on June 10, 2013, approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2012 SOP. The 2012 SOP was designed to serve as an incentive for retaining qualified and competent key employees, officers and directors, and certain consultants and advisors. There are 10,000,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 SOP. Non-qualified stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,968,474 shares of our common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2014. |
|
The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the stock options is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the stock options. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model during the six months ended June 31, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013 are set forth in the table below. |
|
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 | | | Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 | | | | | | | | | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.70-1.77 | % | | | 0.65-1.42 | % | | | | | | | | |
Volatility | | | 69.15-70.93 | % | | | 33.35-45.76 | % | | | | | | | | |
Term (in years) | | | 5-6.25 | | | | 5-6.25 | | | | | | | | | |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | | | | | | |
|
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the expected life. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of an award. Our estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of the stock prices of our peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the term of the awards. We used the historical volatility of our peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data on our stock price. The average expected life is based on the contractual term of the stock option using the simplified method. |

|
| | Number of Shares Underlying Stock Options | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life in Years | | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |

The Black-Scholes Model is used to calculate the fair value of individual stock option grants on their issue date. The weighted-average issue date fair value of stock options issued during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $2.99. Stock options issued under our plan and outstanding exercise prices range from $0.10 to $5.21 per share. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options recognized in our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $1,250,002 and $2,070,385, respectively, and $561,810 and $1,161,770, respectively for the same periods in 2013 (all based on awards vested and was estimated without forfeitures). Stock-based expense for services for stock options recognized in our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $38,084 and $223,726, respectively, and $7,477 for both of the same periods in 2013 (all based on awards vested and was estimated without forfeitures). ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. At June 30, 2014, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to unvested stock options previously issued was approximately $6,621,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. No tax benefit was realized due to a continued pattern of operating losses. |
