NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY

 

TherapeuticsMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or TherapeuticsMD or the Company, has three wholly owned subsidiaries, vitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or VitaMed,VitaMed; BocaGreenMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or BocaGreen,BocaGreen; and VitaCare Prescription Services, Inc., a Florida corporation, or VitaCare. Unless the context otherwise requires, TherapeuticsMD, VitaMed, BocaGreen, and VitaCare collectively are sometimes referred to as "our“our company," "we," "our,"” “we,” “our,” or "us."“us.”

 

Nature of Business

 

We are a women’s health care product company focused on creating and commercializing products targeted exclusively for women. As of the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements, we are focused on conducting the clinical trials necessary for regulatory approval and commercialization of our advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products. The drug candidates used in our clinical trials are designed to alleviate the symptoms of and reduce the health risks resulting from menopause-related hormone deficiencies, including hot flashes, osteoporosis, and vaginal discomfort. We are developing these hormone therapy drug candidates, which contain estradiol and progesterone alone or in combination, with the aim of demonstrating equivalent clinical efficacy at lower doses, thereby enabling an enhanced side effect profile compared with competing products. Our drug candidates are created from a platform of hormone technology that enables the administration of hormones with high bioavailability alone or in combination. In addition, we manufacture and distribute branded and generic prescription prenatal vitamins, as well as over-the-counter, or OTC, vitamins.

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of TherapeuticsMD, Inc., which include our wholly owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, from which we derived the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.2015. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2015,March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued finalASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for our company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. If an entity early adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

THERAPEUTICSMD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This guidance requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This guidance requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market (LOCOM). The guidance applies only to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method (RIM). Entities that use LIFO or RIM will continue to use existing impairment models. The new guidance does not change the calculation of net realizable value that entities are required to calculate when applying existing LOCOM guidance. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Under the new guidance, however, entities will no longer need to calculate other measures of “market.” The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In June 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements, to correct differences between original guidance and the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, clarify the guidance, correct references and make minor improvements affecting a variety of topics. Amendments that the FASB deemed more substantive are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The other amendments are effective immediately. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-10 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, disclose that fact. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under previous guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligations. In July 2015, the FASB approved the proposal to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 standard by one year. Early adoption is permitted after December 15, 2016, and the standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations (ASU 2016-08) as well as accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations in its new revenue standard (ASU 2016-10). We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review the carrying values of property and equipment and long-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. There was no impairment of any long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.instruments, which are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy.

 

We categorize our assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy as defined by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 820, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs, as follows:

 

 Level 1unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 Level 2quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
 Level 3unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  

At September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and December 31, 2014, we had no assets or liabilities that were valued at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair value of indefinite-lived assets or long-lived assets is measured on a non-recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in connection with any requiredthe Company’s impairment test. There was no impairment of intangible assets or long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Our OTC and prescription prenatal vitamin products are generally variations of the same product with slight modifications in formulation and marketing. The primary difference between our OTC and prescription prenatal vitamin products is the source of payment. Purchasers of our OTC prenatal vitamin products pay for the product directly while purchasers of our prescription prenatal vitamin products pay for the product primarily via third-party payers. Both OTC and prescription prenatal vitamin products share the same marketing support team utilizing similar marketing techniques. The revenue that is generated by us from major external customers is all generated from sales of our prescription prenatal vitamin products which is disclosed in Note 14. There are no major external customers for our OTC prenatal vitamin or other products.

 

Over-the-CounterOTC Products

We generate OTC revenue from product sales primarily to retail consumers. We recognize revenue from product sales upon shipment, when the rights of ownership and risk of loss have passed to the consumer. We include outbound shipping and handling fees in revenues, net, and bill them upon shipment. We include shipping expenses in cost of goods sold. A majority of our OTC customers pay for our products with credit cards, and we usually receive the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to OTC sales. We provide an unconditional 30-day money-back return policy under which we accept product returns from our retail and eCommerce OTC customers. We recognize our revenue from OTC sales, net of estimated returns, sales discounts, and eCommerce fees.

Prescription Products

 

We sell our name brand and generic prescription products primarily through drug wholesalers and retail pharmacies. We recognize revenue from prescription product sales, net of sales discounts, chargebacks, and customer rebates.

 

We accept returns of unsalable productprescription products from customers within a return period of six months prior to and up to 12 months following product expiration. Our prescription products currently have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture. As of January 1, 2015, we started estimating returns based on historical return rates and recorded actual product returns against this reserve as received. Prior to January 1, 2015, we deferred the recognition of revenue on certain arrangementsprescription products until the right of return no longer existed.existed as prior to that date, we could not reasonably estimate the amount of future returns.

 

We maintainoffer various rebate programs in an effort to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace and to promote sales and customer loyalty. The consumer rebate program is designed to enable the end user to submit a coupon to us. If the coupon qualifies, we send a rebate check to the end user. We estimate the allowance for consumer rebates that we have offered based on our experience and industry averages, which is reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, on a quarterly basis.

 

Share-Based Compensation

We measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at fair value. We amortize such compensation amounts, if any, over the respective service periods of the award. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, or the Black-Scholes Model, an acceptable model in accordance with ASC 718 to value options. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective judgment and assumptions, including forfeiture rates, estimates of expected life of the share-based award, stock price volatility and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 505, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees, or ASC 505. ASC 505 defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either (a) a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The estimated expense is recognized each period based on the current fair value of the award. As a result, the amount of expense related to awards to non-employees can fluctuate significantly during the period from the date of the grant through the final measurement date. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in ASC 505.

THERAPEUTICSMD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We recognize the compensation expense for all share-based compensation granted, net of estimated forfeitures, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with ASC 718. We generally recognize the compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience of forfeitures. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, share-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development, or R&D, expenses include internal R&D activities, services of external contract research organizations, or CROs, costs of their clinical research sites, manufacturing, scale-up and validation costs, and other activities. Internal R&D activity expenses include laboratory supplies, salaries, benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation expenses. Advance payments to be expensed in future research and development activities are capitalized, and were $948,499$1,005,503 at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, of which $755,152$941,054 was included in Otherother current assets and $193,347$64,449 was included in long term Prepaidlong-term prepaid expense on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Advance payments to be expensed in future research and development activities were $1,175,082$1,138,073 at December 31, 2014,2015, of which $711,362$1,009,175 was included in Otherother current assets and $463,720$128,898 was included in long term Prepaidprepaid expense on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. CRO activity expenses include preclinical laboratory experiments and clinical trial studies. Other activity expenses include regulatory consulting and legal fees and costs. The activities undertaken by our regulatory consultants that were classified as research and developmentR&D expenses include assisting, consulting with, and advising our in-house staff with respect to various FDA submission processes, clinical trial processes, and scientific writing matters, including preparing protocols and FDA submissions. Legal activities that were classified as research and developmentR&D expenses related to designing experiments to generate data for patents and to further the formulation development process for our pipeline technologies. Outside legal counsel also provided professional research and advice regarding research and development,R&D, patents and regulatory matters. These consulting and legal expenses were direct costs associated with preparing, reviewing, and undertaking work for our clinical trials and investigative drugs. We charge internal R&D activities and other activity expenses to operations as incurred. We make payments to CROs based on agreed-upon terms, which may include payments in advance of a study starting date. We expense nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future R&D activities when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. We review and accrue CRO expenses and clinical trial study expenses based on services performed and rely on estimates of those costs applicable to the completion stage of a study as provided by CROs. As of September 30, 2015, we classified $1,213,874 of the accrued clinical study costs as long term Accrued Expenses related to the costs that will be paid at the completion of one of our clinical trials. Estimated accrued CRO costs are subject to revisions as such studies progress to completion. We charge revisions expense in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

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 term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the price of our Common Stock 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 lifeterm is based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We do not expect to pay any significant federal or state income tax for 20152016 as a result of (i) the losses recorded during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, (ii) additional losses expected for the remainder of 2015,2016, and/or (iii) net operating loss carry forwards from prior years. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is "more“more likely than not"not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we maintain a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. Based on these requirements, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded. There were no recorded unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the reporting period.

Consequently, as of January 1, 2016, we will no longer be an “accelerated filed” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we will need to comply with the large accelerated filer reporting deadlines for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and our Quaterly Reports on Form 10-Q beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2016.

Overview

 

We are a women’s health care company focused on creating and commercializing products targeted exclusively for women. Currently, we are focused on conducting the clinical trials necessary for regulatory approval and commercialization of advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products. The current drug candidates used in our clinical trials are designed to alleviate the symptoms of and reduce the health risks resulting from menopause-related hormone deficiencies, including hot flashes, osteoporosis and vaginal discomfort. We are developing these hormone therapy drug candidates, which contain estradiol and progesterone alone or in combination, with the aim of demonstrating equivalent clinical efficacy at lower doses, thereby enabling an enhanced side effect profile compared with competing products. Our drug candidates are created fromusing our SYMBODATM hormone technology, thatwhich enables the administration of hormones with high bioavailability alone or in combination. In addition, we manufacture and distribute branded and generic prescription prenatal vitamins, as well as over-the-counter, or OTC, vitamins.

Research and Development

Overview

 

We have obtained the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, acceptance of our Investigational New Drug, or IND, applications to conduct clinical trials for four of our hormone therapy drug candidates: TX-001HR, our oral combination of progesterone and estradiol; TX-002HR, our oral progesterone alone; TX-003HR, our oral estradiol alone; and TX-004HR, our applicator-free vaginal estradiol softgel with estradiol alone.

 

WeIn December 2015, we completed a Phase 3 clinical trial of TX-004HR and we are currently conducting phasea Phase 3 clinical trialstrial for TX-001HR and TX-004HR.TX-001HR. In July 2014, we temporarily suspended enrollment in the phasePhase 3 clinical trial for TX-002HR and, in October 2014, we temporarily stopped the trial in order to update the phasePhase 3 protocol based on discussions with the FDA. We have no current plans to conduct clinical trials for TX-003HR.

  

TX-001HR, our combination estradiol and progesterone drug candidate, is undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and vaginal discomfort for post-menopausal women with an intact uterus. The hormone therapy drug candidate is chemically identical to the hormones that naturally occur in a woman’s body, namely estradiol and progesterone, and is being studied as a continuous-combined regimen, in which the combination of estrogen and progesterone are taken together in one product daily. If approved by the FDA, we believe this would represent the first time a combination product of estradiol and progesterone (bioidenticalbioidentical to – or having the same chemical and molecular structure as – the estradiol and progesterone produced by the ovaries),ovaries would be approved for use in a single combined product.

 

On September 5, 2013, we began enrollment ofin the REPLENISH Trial, a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phasePhase 3 study of TX-001HR in postmenopausal women with an intact uterus. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of TX-001HR for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause and the endometrial safety of TX-001HR. Patients are assigned to one of five treatment arms, four active and one placebo, and receive study medication for 12 months. The primary endpoint for the reduction of endometrial hyperplasia is an incidence of endometrial hyperplasia of less than 1% at 12 months, as determined by endometrial biopsy. The primary endpoint for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms is the mean change of frequency and severity of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms at weeks four and 12 compared to placebo, as measured by the number and severity of hot flushes. Only subjects experiencing a minimum daily frequency of seven moderate to severe hot flushes at screening are included in the vasomotor symptoms analysis, while all subjects are included in the endometrial hyperplasia analysis. The secondary endpoints include reduction in sleep disturbances and improvement in quality of life measures, night sweats and vaginal dryness, measured at 12 weeks, six months and 12 months. The trial is designed to enroll approximately 1,750 patients at approximately 100 sites. We completed enrollment in the REPLENISH Trial in October 2015 and we currently anticipate that results of the trial will be reported late in the fourth quarter of 2016 or the first quarter of 2017.2016. Based on such timeline and assuming a successful reports of the trial, we would anticipate filing ana New Drug Application, or NDA, for TX-001HR during the fourth quarter of 2016 oras soon as the first quarterhalf of 2017 and assuming an FDA review period of ten months from the receipt date to the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, date for a non-new molecular entity, the NDA for TX-001HR could be approved by the FDA duringas soon as the fourth quarter of 2017 or the first quarter of 2018.

As of May 3, 2016, approximately 1,500 patients have exited the REPLENISH Trial and the incidence of endomentrial hyperplasia for these patients is less than 1%.

 

TX-002HR is a natural progesterone formulation for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea without the potentially allergenic component of peanut oil. The hormone therapy drug candidate is chemically identicalbioidentical to – or having the same chemical and molecular structure as – the hormones that naturally occur in a woman’s body. We believe it will be similarly effective to traditional treatments, but may demonstrate efficacy at lower dosages. In January 2014, we began recruitment of patients in the SPRY Trial, a phase 3 clinical trial designed to measure the safety and effectiveness of TX-002HR in the treatment of secondary amenorrhea. During the first two quarters of 2014, the SPRY Trial encountered enrollment challenges because of Institutional Review Board approved clinical trial protocols and FDA inclusion and exclusion criteria. In July 2014, we temporarily suspended enrollment and in October 2014 we temporarily stopped the SPRY Trial in order to update the phase 3 protocol based on discussions with the FDA. We intend to updateare considering updating the phase 3 protocol to, among other things, target only those women with secondary amenorrhea due to polycystic ovarian syndrome and to amend the primary endpoint of the trial. We believe that the updated phase 3 protocol, if proposed by us and approved by the FDA, willwould allow us to mitigate the enrollment challenges in, and shorten the duration of, the SPRY Trial. However, there can be no assurance that the FDA will approve the updated phase 3 protocol thatif we intend to propose.propose it.

 

TX-004HR is a vaginal estradiol softgel drug candidate for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, or VVA, in post-menopausal women with vaginal linings that do not receive enough estrogen. We believe that our drug candidate will be at least as effective as the traditional treatments for VVA because of an early onset of action with less systemic exposure, inferring a greater probability of dose administration to the target tissue, and it will have an added advantage of being a simple, easier to use dosage form versus traditional VVA treatments. TX-004HR features our SYMBODATM technology, which enables partial and complete solubilization of estradiol into medium-chain fatty acid oils often derived from coconut oil. This allows for the production of cohesive, stable formulations and provides content uniformity and accuracy of dosing strengths for TX-004HR. We initiated the REJOICE Trial, a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled phasePhase 3 clinical trial during the third quarter of 2014 to assess the safety and efficacy of three doses – 25 mcg, 10 mcg and 4 mcg (compared to placebo) – of TX-004HR for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, or painful intercourse, as a symptom of VVA due to menopause. We are conducting a single

On December 7, 2015, we announced positive top-line results from the REJOICE Trial. The pre-specified four co-primary efficacy endpoints were the changes from baseline to week 12 week study, evaluating three different dosesversus placebo in the percentage of estradiol:vaginal superficial cells, percentage of vaginal parabasal cells, vaginal pH and severity of participants’ self-reported moderate to severe dyspareunia as the most bothersome symptom of VVA. The trial enrolled 764 postmenopausal women (40 to 75 years old) experiencing moderate to severe dyspareunia at approximately 89 sites across the United States and Canada. Trial participants were randomized to receive either TX-004HR at 25 mcg (n=190), 10 mcg (n=191), or 4 mcg (n=191) doses or placebo (n=192) for a total of 12 weeks, all administered once daily for two weeks and then twice weekly (approximately three to four days apart) for ten weeks.

The 25 mcg dose of TX-004HR demonstrated highly statistically significant results at the p < 0.0001 level compared to placebo across all four co-primary endpoints. The 10 mcg dose of TX-004HR demonstrated highly statistically significant results at the p < 0.0001 level compared to placebo across all four co-primary endpoints. The 4 mcg dose of TX-004HR also demonstrated highly statistically significant results at the p < 0.0001 level compared to placebo for the endpoints of vaginal superficial cells, vaginal parabasal cells, and 25 mcg versus placebo.vaginal pH; the change from baseline compared to placebo in the severity of dyspareunia was statistically significant at the p = 0.0149 level. The FDA has notedpreviously indicated to us that a single, large, well-controlled clinical trialin order to support safety and efficacy should be sufficient to submit an NDA for TX-004HR forapprove the proposed indication and that to support the indication indrug based on a single trial, evidence of efficacy for a given dosethe trial would need to show statistical significance ofat the 0.01 level or lower for each endpoint, and that a trial that is merely statistically significant at a 0.01 level.higher level may not provide sufficient evidence to support an NDA filing or approval of a drug candidate where the NDA relies on a single clinical trial. Statistical improvement over placebo was also observed for all three doses at the first assessment at week two and sustained through week 12. Vaginal dryness was a prespecified key secondary endpoint. The study has been designed25 mcg and 10 mcg doses of TX-004HR demonstrated highly statistically significant results at the p < 0.0001 level compared to include four primary endpoints:placebo for the reductionendpoint of vaginal pH levels to less than 5.0, an increase in superficial cells, a decrease in parabasal cells and the improvement of dyspareunia. If approved, thedryness. The 4 mcg formulation would represent a lower effective dose thanof TX-004HR demonstrated statistically significant results at the currently available VVA therapies approved byp = 0.0014 level compared to placebo. The pharmacokinetic data for all three doses demonstrated negligible to very low systemic absorption of 17 beta estradiol, estrone and estrone conjugated, supporting the FDA. Theprevious Phase 1 trial is designeddata. TX-004HR was well tolerated, and there were no clinically significant differences compared to enroll approximately 700 patients across approximately 100 sites. The last patient was enrolled in the REJOICE Trial in June 2015, and we have completed the last patient visit in the trial.  placebo-treated participants with respect to adverse events. There were no drug-related serious adverse events reported.

We currently anticipate that the topline results of the trial will be reported during the fourth quarter of 2015. Based on such timeline and successful reports of the trial, we would anticipate filingintend to submit an NDA for the 25 mcg, 10 mcg and 4 mcg doses of TX-004HR as soon asto the first halfFDA by the end of June 2016 and that such NDA could be approved by the FDA as soon as the first quarter of 2017, assuming an FDA review period of ten months from the receipt date to the PDUFA date for a non-new molecular entity. If approved, the 4 mcg formulation would represent a lower effective dose than the currently available VVA therapies approved by the FDA. We recently received conditional approval for the brand name Yuvvexy related to TX-004HR.

 

As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had 1316 issued patents, which included 1112 utility patents that relate to our combination progesterone and estradiol formulations, onetwo utility patentpatents that relatesrelate to TX-004HR, which establishesestablish an important intellectual property foundation for TX-004HR, one utility patent that relates to a pipeline transdermal patch technology, and one methodutility patent that relates to our OPERA®OPERA® information technology platform.

Subsequent to March 31, 2016, one additional patent was issued relating to our progesterone and estradiol product candidates.

 

Research and Development Expenses

A significant portion of our operating expenses to date have been incurred in research and development activities. Research and development expenses relate primarily to the discovery and development of our drug products. Our business model is dependent upon our company continuing to conduct a significant amount of research and development. Until one of our drug products receives IND approval from the FDA, products costs are listed as Other Research and Development costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our preclinical studies; employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation; the cost of developing our chemistry, manufacturing and controls capabilities, and acquiring clinical trial materials; and costs associated with other research activities and regulatory approvals.

  

We make payments to the CROs based on agreed upon terms that may include payments in advance of a study starting date. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. Advance payments to be expensed in future research and development activities are capitalized, and were $948,499$1,005,503 at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, of which $755,152$941,054 was included in Otherother current assets and $193,347$64,449 was included in long term Prepaidlong-term prepaid expense on the accompanyingour consolidated balance sheets.sheet. Advance payments to be expensed in future research and development activities were $1,175,082$1,138,073 at December 31, 2014,2015, of which $711,362$1,009,175 was included in Otherother current assets and $463,720$128,898 was included in long term Prepaidprepaid expense on the accompanyingour consolidated balance sheets.sheet.

Research and development expenditures will continue to be significant as we continue development of our drug candidates and advance the development of our proprietary pipeline of novel drug candidates. We expect to incur significant research and development costs as we develop our drug pipeline, complete the ongoing clinical trials of our drug candidates, conduct our ongoingplanned phase 3 clinical trials, manufacturing, scale-up,subject to receiving input from regulatory authorities, and prepare regulatory submissions.

  

The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project dueowing to factors that include but are not limited to the following: per patient trial costs, the number of patients that participate in the trials; the number of sites included in the trials; the length of time each patient is enrolled in the trial; the number of doses that patients receive; the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients; the amount of time required to recruit patients for the trial, the duration of patient follow-up; and the efficacy and safety profile of the drug candidate. We base our estimated expenses related to clinical trials on estimates that are based on our experience and estimates from CROs and other third parties.

Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increasedMarch 31, 2016 decreased by approximately $1,513,000,$3,080,000, or 10%17%, to approximately $16,422,000,$15,097,000, compared with $14,909,000$18,177,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Research and development costs include costs related to clinical trials as well as salaries, wages, non-cash compensation and benefits of personnel involved in research and development activities.  The increase in research and development costs was primarily due to an increase in scale-up and manufacturing activities for our phase 3 hormone therapy drug candidates, partially offset by lower clinical trial costs. Research and developments costs during the three months ended September 30, 2015 included the following research and development projects.

During the three months ending September 30, 2015 and the period from February 2013 (project inception) through September 30, 2015, we have incurred approximately $8,175,000 and $58,436,000, respectively, in research and development costs with respect to TX-001HR, our combination estradiol and progesterone drug candidate.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the period April 2013 (project inception) through September 30, 2015, we have incurred approximately $6,000 and $2,520,000, respectively, in research and development costs with respect to TX-002HR, our progesterone only drug candidate.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the period from August 2014 (project inception) through September 30, 2015, we have incurred approximately $4,581,000 and $22,225,000, respectively, in research and development costs with respect to TX-004HR, our vaginal estradiol softgel drug candidate.

For a discussion of the nature of efforts and steps necessary to complete these projects, see “Item 1. Business — Research and Development” in our Annual Report. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with completing development of our products, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report. For a discussion of the extent and nature of additional resources that we may need to obtain if our current liquidity is not expected to be sufficient to complete these projects, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources.” For a discussion as to whether a future milestone such as completion of a development phase, date of filing an NDA with a regulatory agency or approval from a regulatory agency can be reliably determined, see “Item 1. Business — Our Hormone Therapy Drug Candidates,” “Item 1. Business — Products in Development” and “Item 1. Business — Pharmaceutical Regulation” in our Annual Report. Future milestones, including NDA submission dates, are not easily determinable as such milestones are dependent on various factors related to our clinical trials, including the timing of ongoing patient recruitment efforts to find eligible subjects for the applicable trials.

Human resource costs, including salaries, benefits and taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by approximately $764,000, or 28%, to approximately $3,465,000, compared with $2,701,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of increases of approximately $520,000 in non-cash compensation related to stock option awards and approximately $244,000 in personnel costs.

Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by approximately $396,000, or 54%, to approximately $1,129,000, compared with $733,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of higher consulting fees.

Other operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by approximately $82,000, or 9%, to approximately $1,034,000, compared with $952,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of increased travel and rent expense.

Sales and marketing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased by approximately $221,000, or 13%, to approximately $1,448,000, compared with $1,669,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of decreased costs related to advertising programs.

Operating Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our operating loss increased approximately $1,655,000, or 9%, to approximately $19,503,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with approximately $17,848,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of increased research and development costs associated with our continued development of our hormone therapy drug candidates, partially offset by increased revenue from sales of our prenatal vitamin products.

As a result of the continued development of our hormone therapy drug candidates, we anticipate that we will continue to have operating losses for the near future until our hormone therapy drug candidates are approved by the FDA and brought to market, although there is no assurance that we will attain such approvals or that any marketing of our hormone therapy drug candidates, if approved, will be successful.

Total other income

Other income increased by approximately $15,000, or 94%, to approximately $31,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with $16,000 for the comparable period in 2014.

Net Loss

As a result of the net effects of the foregoing, net loss increased approximately $1,640,000, or 9%, to approximately $19,472,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with approximately $17,832,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net loss per share of Common Stock, basic and diluted, was $0.11 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $0.12 per share of Common Stock for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased approximately $3,744,000, or 35%, to approximately $14,513,000, compared with approximately $10,769,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Of this $3,744,000 increase, approximately $2,818,000, or 75 %, was attributable to an increase in the number of units sold and approximately $926,000, or 25%, was attributable to product mix and an increase in the average net sales price of our products. Cost of goods sold increased approximately $479,000, or 17%, to approximately $3,271,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with approximately $2,792,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was approximately 23% and 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which was primarily attributable to a favorable change in product mix.

Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report. For a discussion of the extent and nature of additional resources that we may need to obtain if our current liquidity is not expected to be sufficient to complete these projects, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources.” For a discussion as to whether a future milestone such as completion of a development phase, date of filing an NDA with a regulatory agency or approval from a regulatory agency can be reliably determined, see “Item 1. Business — Our Hormone Therapy Drug Candidates,” “Item 1. Business — Products in Development” and “Item 1. Business — Pharmaceutical Regulation” in our Annual Report. Future milestones, including NDA submission dates, are not easily determinable as such milestones are dependent on various factors related to our clinical trials, including the timing of ongoing patient recruitment efforts to find eligible subjects for the applicable trials.

  

Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by approximately $1,360,000, or 79%, to approximately $3,072,000, compared with $1,712,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of higher legal, consulting, accounting and Board of Director expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have funded our operations primarily through public offerings of our Common Stock and the private placementplacements of equity and debt securities. For the years endingthree months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013,2015, we received approximately $43$134.9 million and $79$91.4 million in net proceeds, respectively, from the issuance of shares of our Common Stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received approximately $91 million in net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $81$182.1 million, however, changing circumstances may cause us to consume funds significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.

 

On January 6, 2016, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co and Cowen and Company, LLC, as the representatives of the several underwriters, or the Underwriters, relating to an underwritten public offering of 15,151,515 shares of our Common Stock at a public offering price of $8.25 per share. Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, we granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,272,727 additional shares of Common Stock, which option was exercised in full. The net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $134.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The offering closed on January 12, 2016.

On July 9, 2015, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as the representatives of the several underwriters, or the Stifel Underwriters, relating to an underwritten public offering of 3,846,154 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $7.80 per share. Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, we granted the Stifel Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 576,923 additional shares of Common Stock, which option was exercised in full. The net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $32.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The offering closed on July 15, 2015 and we issued 4,423,077 shares of our Common Stock.

 

On February 10, 2015, we entered into an underwriting agreement, or the Cowen Agreement, with Cowen and Company, LLC, as the representative of the several underwriters, or the Cowen Underwriters, relating to an underwritten public offering of 13,580,246 shares of our Common Stock, at a public offering price of $4.05 per share.

The net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $59.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The offering closed on February 17, 2015 and we issued 15,617,282 shares of our Common Stock.2015.

 

We believe that our existing cash will allow us to fund our operating plan through at least the next 12 months. If our available cash is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interestinterests of our existing shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders.shareholders. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, or proposed products. Additionally, we may have to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

We need substantial amounts of cash to complete the clinical development of our hormone therapy drug candidates. The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash for each of the periods set forth below:

Operating Activities

  

The use of cash in both periods resulted primarily from our net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in components of working capital. The increase of approximately $32,198,000$254,000 in cash used in operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 compared with the comparable period in the prior year was due primarily to increased research and development, and sales, general, and administrative costs. These were partially offset by an increase of approximately $3,744,000$455,000 in revenue over the same periods.

  

Investing Activities

Financing Activities

Financing activities represent the principal source of our cash flow. Our financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 consisted of the proceeds from the February 2015 and July 2015January 2016 underwritten public offering of our Common Stock and stock option and warrant exercises.

New Accounting Pronouncements

  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015,March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued finalASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. If an entity early adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This guidance requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This guidance requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market (LOCOM). The guidance applies only to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method (RIM). Entities that use LIFO or RIM will continue to use existing impairment models. The new guidance does not change the calculation of Entities already calculate net realizable value that entities are required to calculate when applying today’s existing LOCOM guidance, and the new guidance doesn’t change that calculation.guidance. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Under the new guidance, however, entities will no longer need to calculate other measures of “market.” The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

  

In June 2015 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, Technical Corrections and Improvements, No. 2015-10, to correct differences between original guidance and the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, clarify the guidance, correct references and make minor improvements affecting a variety of topics. Amendments that the FASB deemed more substantive are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The other amendments are effective immediately. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-10 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, disclose that fact. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

  

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under previous guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligations. In July 2015, the FASB approved the proposal to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 standard by one year. Early adoption is permitted after December 15, 2016, and the standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations (ASU 2016-08) as well as accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations in its new revenue standard (ASU 2016-10). We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

  

We do not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We routinely evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we did not experience any significant changes in estimates or judgments inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and Note 3 of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015.

ItemItem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our market risk has not changed materially from the interest rate risk disclosed in Item 7A of our Annual Report.

ItemItem 4. Controls and Procedures

  

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC'sSEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

  

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

  

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. Further, internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions, or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

  

During the three months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
