−Removed: sales of unregistered securities during the year ended June 30, 2021 were previously disclosed in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or
−Removed: Current report on Form 8-K.
−Removed: Purchases of Common Stock
−Removed: the year ended June 30, 2021, there were no issuer repurchases of shares of common stock.
−Removed: DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: following discussion of the Companys financial condition and the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
−Removed: Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
−Removed: is a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies to overcome unmet medical needs in chronic debilitating conditions.
−Removed: liver disease , our Orphan Drug candidate BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) is being developed as a future treatment option
−Removed: for patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosis caused by NASH, hepatitis, and
−Removed: The initial target for BIV201 therapy is refractory ascites.
−Removed: These patients suffer from frequent life-threatening complications,
−Removed: generate more than $5 billion in annual treatment costs, and have an estimated 50% mortality rate within 6 to 12 months.
−Removed: and Drug Administration (FDA) has never approved any drugs to treat refractory ascites.
−Removed: A Phase 2a clinical trial of BIV201 was completed
−Removed: in 2019, and a multi-center, randomized and controlled Phase 2b trial is currently underway at several US medical centers including Vanderbilt
−Removed: University, the Mayo Clinic, and University of Pennsylvania (NCT NCT04112199).
−Removed: Top-line results are expected in early 2022, to be followed
−Removed: by a proposed single pivotal Phase 3 trial beginning in 2022.
−Removed: In June 2021, we received written feedback from the FDA in response to
−Removed: a Type B meeting request to conduct a pivotal US Phase 3 clinical trial in HRS-AKI, which is a life-threatening complication of advanced
−Removed: Based on the guidance received, we are revising certain elements of our proposed study and planning to initiate this study in
−Removed: neurodegenerative disease, BioVie acquired the biopharmaceutical assets of NeurMedix, Inc., a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical
−Removed: company, in June 2021.
−Removed: The acquired assets include NE3107, a potentially selective inhibitor of inflammatory ERK signaling which, based
−Removed: on animal studies is believed to reduce neuroinflammation.
−Removed: NE3107is a novel orally administered small molecule that inhibits inflammation-driven
−Removed: insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatory cascades with a novel mechanism of action.
−Removed: There is emerging scientific consensus
−Removed: that both inflammation and insulin resistance play fundamental roles in the development of Alzheimers and Parkinsons Disease,
−Removed: and NE3107 could represent an entirely new medical approach to treating these devastating conditions affecting an estimated 6 million
−Removed: Americans suffering from Alzheimers and 1 million from Parkinsons.
−Removed: The FDA has authorized a potentially pivotal Phase 3
−Removed: randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate NE3107 in subjects who have mild to moderate
−Removed: Alzheimers disease (NCT04669028).
−Removed: We initiated this trial on August 5, 2021 and are targeting primary completion in late 2022/early
−Removed: In addition to Alzheimers disease, we plan to advance NE3107 in Parkinsons based on promising results from preclinical
−Removed: Inflammation-driven insulin resistance is implicated in a broad range of serious diseases, including multiple myeloma and prostate
−Removed: cancer, and we plan to begin exploring these opportunities in the coming months using NE3107 or related compounds acquired in the NeurMedix
−Removed: asset purchase.
−Removed: of Operations
−Removed: of the Year Ended June 30, 2021 to the Year Ended June 30, 2020
−Removed: net loss for the year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $130.3 million as compared to a net loss of approximately $16.7 million for
−Removed: the year ended June 30, 2020.
−Removed: The net increase in net loss of approximately $113.6 million was primarily comprised of the purchase of
−Removed: the biopharmaceutical assets from Neurmedix totaling approximately $130.6 million and expensed as purchased in process research and development
−Removed: ( IPR&D) in research and development expenses and the increase in other operating expenses of approximately $7.3 million offset by
−Removed: the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $17.5 million and the reduction in interest expense of approximately $4.2 million
−Removed: related to the embedded conversion derivative liability from warrants associated with the draws on the convertible debenture which were
−Removed: settled in September 2020.
−Removed: operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $138.1 million as compared to approximately $2.7 million for year
−Removed: ended June 30, 2020.
−Removed: The increase of approximately $135.4 million was attributed to the purchase of the biopharmaceutical assets from
−Removed: Neurmedix, of approximately $130.6 million, increase in other research and development activities which resulted in an increase of approximately
−Removed: $1.4 million, primarily attributed to the preparation and launch of our Phase2b clinical trials as well as an increase in selling, general
−Removed: and administrative expenses of $3.5 million, primarily due to stock based compensation awarded to the board of directors.
−Removed: and Development Expenses
−Removed: and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 totaled $133.2 million and included the purchased IPR&D of $130.6 million,
−Removed: compared to research and development for the year ended June 30, 2020 of $1.2 million.
−Removed: During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the
−Removed: Company acquired biopharmaceutical assets under development from Neurmedix and Acuitas, which are related party affiliates.
−Removed: acquired include, among others, those related to certain drug candidates being developed by NeurMedix, including NE3107, a small molecule
−Removed: orally administered inhibitor of insulin resistance and the pathological inflammatory cascade, with a novel mechanism of action that
−Removed: has potential applications for treatment against Alzheimers Disease and Parkinsons Disease.
−Removed: The total cost of the asset
−Removed: purchase was approximately $130.6 million and comprised of the issuance of 8,361,308 shares of the Companys common stock, valued
−Removed: at $14.87 per share, the closing price on the date of the close and a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million to Acuitas and other
−Removed: expenses totaling approximately $4.0 million for due diligence, legal fees, transaction fees and the fairness opinion.
−Removed: remainder of the net increase in research and development expenses of $1.4 million was primarily due to an increase in research and development
−Removed: activities related to the preparation of the Phase 2b Clinical Trials.
−Removed: In June 2021, the Company enrolled its first patient into the
−Removed: Phase 2b trial of BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) for the treatment of refractory ascites.
−Removed: The trial is being conducted in
−Removed: nine research centers.
−Removed: General and Administrative Expenses
−Removed: general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2021 and $1.3 million for the year ended
−Removed: June 30, 2020.
−Removed: The net increase of $3.3 primarily consisted of an additional $2.8 million in stock compensation expense attributed to
−Removed: stock options granted to the members of the board of directors for their annual directors compensation, additional expenses of
−Removed: approximately $475,000 related to being listed on a national exchange for listing fees, investor relations and other professional fees.
−Removed: Insurance expense of $24,000 primarily related to increased premiums for directors and officers and other liability policies.
−Removed: Income and Expense, Net
−Removed: income, net increased from other expense, net of $14 million for the year ended June 30, 2020 to $7.8 million of other income, net for
−Removed: the year ended June 30, 2021.
−Removed: This change was primarily due to the change in fair value of derivatives of approximately $17.5 million
−Removed: and the decline in interest expense of approximately $4.2 million due to embedded derivative warrant liabilities.
−Removed: Resources and Liquidity
−Removed: of June 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.6 million, cash of $4.5 million, stockholders equity of
−Removed: approximately $5.1 million, and accumulated deficit of approximately $224.9 million.
−Removed: In addition, the Company has not generated any revenues
−Removed: and no revenues are expected in the foreseeable future.
−Removed: The Companys future operations are dependent on the success of the Companys
−Removed: ongoing development and commercialization effort, as well as continuing to secure additional financing.
−Removed: As described in Note 1 in the accompany financial statements, on June 10, 2021, the Company purchased biopharmaceutical
−Removed: assets from NeurMedix and issued 8,361,308 shares of the Companys common stock, valued at $14.87 per share at the closing price
−Removed: on June 10, 2021 and was required to make cash payments totaling approximately $6.3 million.
−Removed: These expenditures had a significant impact
−Removed: on the Companys cash position.
−Removed: On August 11, 2021 the Company closed a capital raise issuing 2.5 million shares of common stock
−Removed: at $8.00 per share and increased cash by the net proceeds of approximately $17.8 million.
−Removed: Although the increase in the cash balance could
−Removed: possibly sustain operations over the next 12 months if measures are taken to delay planned expenditures in our research protocols and
−Removed: slow the progress in the Companys clinical programs, the Companys current planned operations to meet certain goals and
−Removed: objectives, could result in the use of all available cash resources prior to that time based on current projections.
−Removed: future viability of the Company is largely dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations.
−Removed: assure you that our drug candidate will be developed, work, or receive regulatory approval;
−Removed: that we will ever earn revenues sufficient
−Removed: to support our operations or that we will ever be profitable.
−Removed: Furthermore, since we have no committed source of sufficient financing,
−Removed: we cannot assure that we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations.
−Removed: If we cannot raise funds as and
−Removed: when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.
−Removed: management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient
−Removed: financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, to fund continuing operations.
−Removed: Management intends to attempt to secure
−Removed: additional required funding primarily through additional equity or debt financings.
−Removed: We may also seek to secure required
−Removed: funding through sales or out-licensing of intellectual property assets, seeking partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies or
−Removed: third parties to co-develop and fund research and development efforts, or similar transactions.
−Removed: However, there can be no
−Removed: assurance that we will be able to obtain required funding.
−Removed: If we are unsuccessful in securing funding from any of these
−Removed: sources, we will defer, reduce or eliminate certain planned expenditures in our research protocols.
−Removed: If we do not have
−Removed: sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result
−Removed: in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.
−Removed: emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics such as coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, may lead to continued
−Removed: regional quarantines, business shutdowns, labor shortages, disruptions to supply chains, and overall economic instability, including
−Removed: the duration and spread of the outbreak and restrictions and the impact of COVID-19 and its variants on the financial markets and the
−Removed: overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
−Removed: If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted
−Removed: for an extended period, the Companys ability to raise funds may be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: circumstances raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: These financial statements do not include any adjustments
−Removed: relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result
−Removed: from this uncertainty.
−Removed: Sheet Arrangements
−Removed: Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the
−Removed: Companys financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
−Removed: that are material to investors.
−Removed: The term off-balance sheet arrangement generally means any transaction, agreement or other
−Removed: contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation
−Removed: arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest;
−Removed: or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred
−Removed: to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
−Removed: Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: for Stock-based Compensation
−Removed: Company follows the provision of ASC 718- Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all shared –
−Removed: based payment awards made to employees and non-employee director, including employee stock options.
−Removed: Share-based compensation expense
−Removed: is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is generally recognized as an expense
−Removed: over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.
−Removed: of Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
−Removed: be recoverable.
−Removed: Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the
−Removed: future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
−Removed: If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
−Removed: to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets and would
−Removed: be charged to earnings.
−Removed: Accounting for Transactions with Related Party
−Removed: accounting for transactions with related party, entities under common control, are recorded at the historical carrying cost with no step
−Removed: up in basis to the fair market value of the asset or liability are recognized.
