NOTE REGARDING REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 


EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Form 10-Q/A”)On September 13, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for TapImmune Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, initially filedNRS 78.209 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2015 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to restate accounting for the share purchase warrants and recording the fair valueSecretary of State of the warrants under “Derivative liability- warrants”State of Nevada to effect a reverse split of our common stock at a ratio of one for twelve, effective on its balance sheet with changes in the fair value over timeSeptember 16, 2016. All historical share and per share amounts reflected in the statements of operations as “Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities”. The restatement of the Company’s accounting for the share purchase warrants arose after a review by the Company’s management.

As a result, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Company’s previously issued consolidated unaudited financial statements and reports filed with the SEC for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 should not be relied upon. For a more detailed description of the effects of the restatement, see further discussion in Note 1A, “Amendment to Previously Reported Quarterly Financial Statements” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filings in their entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A only amends and restates Items 1 and 2 of Part I of the Original Filing, in each case, solely as a result of, andreport have been adjusted to reflect the restatement, and no other information in the Original Filing is amended hereby. The foregoing items have not been updated to reflect other events occurring after the Original Filings or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II of the Original Filings has been amended to contain currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and are attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1 to this report. We have also updated our financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101.

Except for the foregoing amended information, this Form 10-Q/A continues to speak as of the dates of the Original Filings, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that occurred at a later date. Other events occurring after the filings of the Original Filings or other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events will be addressed in any reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this filing.

NOTE 1:     NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Note 1:Nature of Operations

 

TapImmune Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1992, is a biotechnology Companycompany focusing on immunotherapy specializing in the development of innovative peptide and gene-based immunotherapeutics and vaccines for the treatment of oncology and infectious disease. Unlike other vaccine technologies that narrowly address the initiation of an immune response, TapImmune’sTapImmune's approach broadly stimulates the cellular immune system by enhancing the function of killer T-cells and T-helper cells and by restoring antigen presentation in tumor cells allowing their recognition and killing by the immune system.

NOTE 1A:     AMENDMENT TO PREVIOUSLY REPORTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 have been restated related to the Company’s accounting for share purchase warrants issued as part of two registered transactions in January 2015 and March 2015. Previously, the fair value of certain series of the share purchase warrants (Series B, B-1, C, C-1, D, D-1, E and E-1) was concluded by management to be classified within stockholders’ equity (deficit). The Company has reviewed the terms and conditions underlying its outstanding share purchase warrants and determined that the accounting for certain series of the warrants should be amended.

Management reviewed ASC 480-10 Distinguishing liabilities from equity and ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity to arrive at this conclusion that the common stock purchase warrants should be classified as a liability, not equity, as the Company cannot control their ability to gross settle the financial instruments with registered securities.

The Company has restated its accounting for certain series of the share purchase warrants and recorded the fair value of the warrants under “Derivative liability- warrants” on its balance sheet with changes in the fair value over time reflected in the statements of operations as “Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

As a result of these adjustments, net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was increased by $41,771,000 and $41,490,000, respectively. The Company has reported an amended net loss of $60,216,000 versus the previously reported net loss of approximately $18,446,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and an amended net loss of $60,917,000 versus the previously reported net loss of approximately $19,427,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The following table summarizes the effect of the restatement on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015:

NOTE 2:     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 2:Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. TheIn the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, condensed consolidatedfinancial statements of interim financials includereflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considersconsidered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.such interim results.

The results for the statement of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20152016 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 20142015 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 3:     LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

NOTE 3:LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of acquiring product and technology rights, raising capital, and performing research and development. Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including, among other things, its ability to access potential markets; secure financing, develop a customer base; attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and develop strategic alliances. From inception, the Company has been funded by a combination of equity and debt financings.

 

13


The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses over the next several years during its development phase. To fully execute its business plan, the Company will need to complete certain research and development activities and clinical studies. Further, the Company’s product candidates will require regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These activities may span many years and require substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. Any delays in completing these activities could adversely impact the Company. The Company plans to meet its capital requirements primarily through issuances of debt and equity securities and, in the longer term, revenue from product sales.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2015,2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,105,000.$9,587,000. Historically, the Company hashad net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company believes its current capital resources are not sufficient to support its operations. Management intends to continue its research efforts and to finance operations of the Company through debt and/or equity financings. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing through private or public offerings or through a business combination or strategic partnership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015.

Prior Period Reclassifications

The expense categories of14, 2016 other than the comparable prior period have been reclassified for comparability with the June 30, 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss.

NOTE 5:    POTENTIALLY DILUTIVE SECURITIESone disclosed below relating to grant income:

 

Options, warrants,Grant Income

The Company recognizes grant income in accordance with the terms stipulated under the grant awarded to the Company’s collaborators at the Mayo Foundation from the U. S. Department of Defense. In various situations, the Company receives certain payments from the U.S. Department of Defense for reimbursement of clinical supplies. These payments are non-refundable, and convertible debtare not dependent on the Company’s ongoing future performance. The Company has adopted a policy of recognizing these payments as grant income when received.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), No. 2016-09 - In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the specific changes associated with the update include all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) being recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. An entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU No. 2016-09 and has determined that the adoption of the impact of forfeitures, net of income taxes, will not have a material impact on the Company’s future financial statements.

Note 5:net income (loss) per share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Income (loss) per-share amounts for all considered anti-dilutive forperiods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, due to net losses.Company’s 1-for-12 reverse stock split, which was effective September 16, 2016.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value accounting standards define fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:

·Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
·Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
·Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Immunotherapy Industry for Cancer

Immunotherapy

Immuno-oncology has become the most rapidly growing sector in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. The approval and success of checkpoint inhibitors Yervoy and Opdivo (Bristol Myers Squibb) and Keytruda (Merck)(Merck & Co.) together with the development of CAR T-cell therapies (Juno Kite)Therapeutics, Kite Pharma) has provided much momentum in this sector. In addition, new evidence points to the increasing use of combination immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. This has provided greater opportunities for the successful development of T-cell vaccines in combination with other approaches.

Phase I Human Clinical Trials –Folate Alpha Breast and Ovarian Cancer – Mayo Clinic

Folate Receptor Alpha is expressed in over 80% of triple negative breast cancers and in addition, over 90% of ovarian cancers, for which the only treatment options are surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, leaving a very important and urgent clinical need for a new therapeutic. Time to recurrence is relatively short for these types of cancer and survival prognosis is extremely poor after recurrence. In the United States alone, there are approximately 30,000 ovarian cancer patients and 40,000 triple negative breast cancer patients newly diagnosed every year.

The vaccine is well tolerated and safe and 20 out of 21 evaluable patients showed positive immune responses providing a strong rationale rational for progressing to phase II trials. GMP manufacturing for Phase II trials is progressing well towards a commercial formulation and final analyses of clinical plans are near completion. On July 27, 2015,TapImmune exercised its option agreement with Mayo Clinic with the signing of a worldwide exclusive license agreement to commercialize a proprietary folate receptor alpha vaccine technology for all cancer indications. As part of this Agreement, the IND for the folate receptor alpha Phase I trial was transferred from Mayo to TapImmune for amendment for the Company’s Phase II Clinical Trialson our lead product.

On September 15, 2015, we announced that our collaborators at the Mayo Clinic had been awarded a grant of $13.3 million from the U.S. Department of Defense. This grant, commencing September 15, 2015, will cover the costs for a 280 patient Phase II Clinical Trial of Folate Receptor Alpha Vaccine in patients with Triple Negative Breast Cancer.TapImmune will work closely with Mayo Clinic on this clinical trial by providing clinical and manufacturing expertise as well as providing GMP vaccine formulations. These vaccine formulations are being developed for multiple Phase II clinical programs in triple negative breast and ovarian cancer in combination with other immunotherapeutics.

On December 9, 2015, we announced that we received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) for our cancer vaccine TPIV 200 in the treatment of ovarian cancer. The TPIV 200 ovarian cancer clinical program will now receive benefits including tax credits on clinical research and 7-year market exclusivity upon receiving marketing approval. TPIV 200 is a multi-epitope peptide vaccine that targets Folate Receptor Alpha which is overexpressed in multiple cancers.

On February 3, 2016 we announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has designated the investigation of multiple-epitope Folate Receptor Alpha Peptide Vaccine (TPIV 200) with GM-CSF adjuvant for maintenance therapy in subjects with platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer who achieved stable disease or partial response following completion of standard of care chemotherapy, as a Fast Track Development Program. A Phase 2 study in this indication is being readied for initiation by the end of 2016.

We are currently enrolling a Company sponsored triple negative breast cancer study at 8 clinical sites nation-wide. The study will enroll 80 patients. It is open-label and designed to look at dosing regimens, immune responses and efficacy.

The Company also announced the start of an ovarian cancer study sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City in collaboration with Astra Zeneca Pharmaceuticals. This study is currently enrolling platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients and is designed to look at the effects of combination therapy with Astra Zeneca’s checkpoint inhibitor durvalamab. The study will enroll 40 patients and is open label. Although we have no business relationship with Astra Zeneca, we are paying for half of the clinical study plus providing our TPIV 200 for the study.

Phase I Human Clinical Trials – HER2/neu+ Breast Cancer – Mayo Clinic

Patient dosing has been completed. Final safety analysis on all the patients treated is complete and shown to be safe. In addition, 19 out of 20 evaluable patients showed robust T-cell immune responses to the antigens in the vaccine composition providing a solid case for advancement to Phase II in 2015. An additional secondary endpoint incorporated into this Phase I Trial will be a two year follow on recording time to disease recurrence in the participating breast cancer patients.

For Phase I(b)/II studies, we plan to add a Class I peptide, licensed from the Mayo Clinic (April 16, 2012), to the four Class II peptides. Management believes that the combination of Class I and Class II HER2/neu antigens, gives us the leading HER2/neu vaccine platform. Therefore a key goal in 2015As the folate receptor alpha vaccine is our lead product our plans are now initiating formulation studies to progress the HER2/neu vaccine towards the above mentioneda Phase 1(b)/II Clinical Trial.

Phase I Human Clinical Trials –Folate Alpha BreastProducts and Ovarian Cancer – Mayo ClinicTechnology-Preclinical

Folate Receptor Alpha is expressed in over 80% of triple negative breast cancers, and in addition, over 90% of ovarian cancers, for which the only treatment options are surgery and chemotherapy, leaving a very important and urgent clinical need for a new therapeutic. Time to recurrence is relatively short for these types of cancer and survival prognosis is extremely poor after recurrence. In the United States alone, there are approximately 30,000 ovarian cancer patients and 40,000 triple negative breast cancer patients newly diagnosed every year.

A 24 patient Phase I clinical trial has been completed. The vaccine is well tolerated and safe and 20 out of 21 evaluable patients showed positive immune responses providing a strong rationale rational for progressing to phase 2 trials. GMP manufacturing for Phase II trials is underway and final analyses of clinical plans are near completion. TapImmune has now converted the exclusive license option into a full License Agreement.

Polystart

The Company hasWe converted the previously filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application on Polystart into a full Patent Application, and will extend technology constructsin February 2016 we received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a patent application entitled, “A chimeric nucleic acid molecule with non-AUG initiation sequences.” The term of this patent extends to March 17, 2034. Additional patent filings are in progress. We plan to develop PolyStart as boost strategiesboth a stand-alone therapy and as a ‘boost strategy’ to be used synergistically with our peptide-based vaccines for the current clinical programs in breast and ovarian cancer.

Current State of the Company

TapImmune is

We are a clinical-stage immunotherapy company specializing in the development of innovative peptide and gene-based immunotherapeutics and vaccines for the treatment of cancer. The CompanyWe now hasplan to conduct multiple Phase II clinical trials underwayon our vaccines. The largest of these studies in triple-negative breast cancer is totally funded by a $13.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to our collaborators at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. In addition toJacksonville, Florida. A Company-sponsored trial in triple negative breast cancer started during the second quarter of 2016 with recruitment at multiple sites and treatment of first patients. We believe that our own sponsored clinical trials, a new grant-funded breast and ovarian cancer trial was started by Mayo using the same Folate Alpha Receptor peptides to which we have the exclusive commercial rights. Our development pipeline is extremely strong and provides us the opportunity to continue to expand on collaborations with leading institutions and corporations.

In Q1 and Q2 2015, we strengthened our cash position by raising additional $4.8 M in working capital giving us confidence in our ability to continue developing our products on

We believe, the path to commercialization. The structure of this financing gives us additional opportunities to raise additional capital through the exercise of short-term and long-term warrants. The strength of our science and development approaches is becoming more widely appreciated, particularly as our clinical program has now generated positive interim data on both clinical programs in Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Also, we are pleased to report that our clinical programs are seeing positive outcomes and we expect to present more detailed findings at major symposia toward the end of the year.

We continue to be focused on our entry into Phase II Triple Negative Cancer Trials including application for Fast Track & Orphan Drug Status as well as planning for Phase II HER2/neu Breast Cancer Trials.

We will also produceexpect to continue to prosecute our PolyStart patent filings and develop new PolyStart constructs in-house, to facilitate collaborative efforts in our current clinical indications and those where others have already indicated interest in combination therapies.

In addition, we will continue to work on deficit reduction and capital improvement in order to make the required benchmarks for an uplisting to the NASDAQ or another major US exchange. To

We believe that end we are also anticipating the result of grant applications submitted early this year.

Together, these fundamental programs and corporate activities have positioned TapImmune extremely well to capitalize on the acceptance of immunotherapy as a leading therapeutic strategy in cancer and infectious disease resulting in exploding valuations in the market.disease.

TapImmune’s Pipeline

The Company has

Clinical Program

We have a deep pipeline of potential blockbuster immunotherapies under development. Two of thePhase I clinical programs are completing Phase I studieson HER2/neu for breast and are expectedovarian cancer have been completed and strong immune responses in over 90% of patients treated has provided the rationale and catalyst to advance these programs to Phase II in 2015. These are major inflection and valuation events, and we believe that, in light of these assets, the Company is significantly undervalued. Over the past year a number of highly visible transactions and billion dollar acquisitions have taken place that validate the work we are doing. We believe that, if our treatment successfully reaches commercialization, our treatment is applicable to 50% of the HER2/neu Breast Cancer market, which is a $21 billion annual market. We further believe that if our Ovarian Cancer treatment reaches commercialization, it will be applicable to 95% of the market which Decision Resources, one of the world’s leading research firms for pharmaceuticals and healthcare, believes will triple in the next 10 years to at least $1.5 billion annually.clinical trials.

- 15 -

In addition to the exciting clinical developments, our peptide vaccine technology may be coupled with our recently developed in-house Polystart nucleic acid-based technology designed to make vaccines significantly more effective by producing four times the required peptides for the immune systems to recognize and act on. Our nucleic acid-based systems can also incorporate “TAP” which stands for Transporter associated with Antigen Presentation. Our technologies are also widely applicable to the treatment of emerging viral threats and pandemics. In particular, our highly versatile PolyStart technology

has application in these areas. With respect to validation of our technologies, it is important to note that the majority of our technologies have been published in leading peer-reviewed journals. The timing of such publications is consistent with the filing of patents.

A list of publications on our TAP technology can be found on our website (www.tapimmune.com). Publication of our data on PolyStart will occur after current patent filings have been completed.

A key component to success is having a comprehensive patent strategy that continually updates and extends patent coverage for key products. It is highly unlikely that early patents will extend through ultimate product marketing, so extending patent life is an important strategy for ensuring product protection.

We have three active patent families that we are supporting:

1. Filed patents on PolyStart expression vector (owned by TapImmune has fourand filed in 2014: this IP covers the use with TAP). The Company announced the allowance of this patent estates, details of which can be foundin February 2016.

2. Filed patents on our website:www.tapimmune.comHER2/neu Class II and Class I antigens: exclusive license from Mayo Foundation; and

3. Filed patents on Folate Receptor Alpha antigens: exclusive license from Mayo Foundation

While the pathway to successful product development takes time, we believe we have put in place significant resources in technical and corporate fundamentals for success. The strength of our product pipeline and access to leading scientists and institutions gives us a unique opportunity to make a major contribution to global health care.

A number of early stage billion dollar pharma acquisitions and recent IPOs have highlighted the growing interest in investment in immunotherapy space. Looking at our current valuation and those of our peers and considering our pipeline of clinical programs with very near-term advancements and the value inflections those represent, we believe this is an excellent opportunity and presents exceptional entry point for those that have not yet become a shareholder.

With respect to the broader market, a major driver and positive influence on our activities has been the emergence and general acceptance of the potential of a new generation of immunotherapies that promise to change the standard of care for cancer. The immunotherapy sector has been greatly stimulated by the approval of Provenge®Provenge® for prostate cancer and Yervoy™ for metastatic melanoma, progression of the areas of checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive T-cell therapy and multiple approaches reaching Phase II and Phase III status.

We believe that through our combination of technologies, we are well positioned to be a leading player in this emerging market. It is important to note that many of the late stage immunotherapies currently in development do not represent competition to our programs, but instead offer synergistic opportunities to partner our antigen based immunotherapeutics, and Polystart and/or TAP expression systems.system. Thus, the use of naturally processed T-cell antigens discovered using samples derived from cancer patients plus our Polystart expression technology to improve antigen presentation to T-cells could not only produce an effective cancer vaccinesvaccine in its own right but also to enhance the efficacy of other immunotherapy approaches such as CAR-T and PD1 inhibitors for example.

Recent Developments and Company Highlights

Research Programs

Her2neu License Agreement

On June 7, 2016 we announced that we exercised our option agreement with Mayo Clinic and signed a worldwide license agreement to a proprietary HER2neu vaccine technology. The license gives us the right to develop and commercialize the technology in any cancer indication in which the Her2neu antigen is overexpressed.

Phase II Trials Started

On April 26, 2016 we announced plans to participate in a Phase 2 trial of our corporatecancer vaccine, TPIV 200, a multi-epitope anti-folate receptor vaccine (FRα), in combination with durvalumab (MEDI4736), an anti-PD-L1 antibody, in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The study started with the enrollment and treatment of patients in the second quarter of 2016 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and is being led by Jason Konner, M.D. as Principal Investigator. On June 21, 2016, we announced the treatment of the first patient in a company-sponsored Phase II trial in triple negative breast cancer as part of a multi-center study.

Manufacturing

On April 7, 2016, we announced that we have successfully completed formulation development, scale-up, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing, and advancementthe release of TPIV 200, our multi-epitope folate receptor peptide vaccine for breast and ovarian cancer. The manufactured product contains five peptide antigens freeze dried in a single vial, ready for injection after reconstitution and addition of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). TPIV 200 doses are now available for the upcoming Phase II clinical trials in both triple negative breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Recent Developments

Enrolling Patients: Phase 2 TPIV 200 Trial in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

We have opened 8 clinical sites and begun treating patients in a Phase 2 trial of our Folate Receptor Alpha cancer vaccine, TPIV 200, in the treatment of triple negative breast cancer, one of the most difficult to treat cancers representing a clear unmet medical need. The open-label, 80 patient clinical trial is designed to evaluate dosing regimens, adjuvants, efficacy, and immune responses in women with triple negative breast cancer. Key data from the trial is expected to be included in a future New Drug Application submission to the FDA for marketing clearance. This trial is sponsored and conducted by TapImmune.

Enrolling Patients: Phase 2 Trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering of TPIV 200 in Ovarian Cancer

A Phase 2 study of TPIV 200 in ovarian cancer patients who are not responsive to platinum, a commonly used chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and in collaboration with AstraZeneca and TapImmune, has begun enrollment for a 40 patient study. The open-label study is designed to evaluate a combination therapy which includes our TPIV 200 T-cell vaccine and AstraZeneca’s checkpoint inhibitor, durvalumab. Because they are unresponsive to platinum, these patients have no real options left. If the combination therapy proves effective, we believe it would address a critical unmet need. TPIV 200 has received Orphan Drug designation for use in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Enrollment to Commence in Q4 2016: Phase 2 Mayo Clinic-U.S. DOD Trial of TPIV 200 in Triple Negative Breast CancerWe anticipate this Phase 2 study of TPIV 200 in the treatment of triple negative breast cancer, conducted by the Mayo Clinic and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), will begin to enroll patients in the fourth quarter of this year. The anticipated 280 patient study will be led by Dr. Keith Knutson of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Knutson is the inventor of the technology and an advisor to TapImmune. While TapImmune is supplying doses of TPIV 200 for the trial, the remaining costs associated with conducting this study will be funded by a $13.3 million grant made by the DOD to the Mayo Clinic.

Clinical Sites to Open in Q4 2016: Phase 2 TPIV 200 Trial in Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian Cancer

By the end of 2016, we expect to have at least one clinical site open in a Phase 2 trial of TPIV 200 in 80 ovarian cancer patients who are responsive to platinum. We have received the FDA’s Fast Track designation to develop TPIV 200 as a maintenance therapy in combination with platinum, in platinum responsive ovarian cancer. This multi-center, double-blind efficacy study is sponsored and conducted by TapImmune.

Open IND with FDA for TPIV 110 in Q4 2016 or in Q1 2017: Phase 2 Protocol Now in Preparation

We have reformulated our second cancer vaccine product, TPIV 110, following very strong safety and immune responses from a Phase 1 Mayo Clinic study. TPIV 110 targets Her2/neu, which makes it applicable to breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer. The reformulated product adds a fifth antigen which should produce an even more robust immune response activating both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. We have requested a pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with the FDA and submitted questions to the FDA related to opening the IND. A response from the FDA is expected in September and we anticipate having an open IND by year-end pending comments from FDA. The protocol for a Phase 2 trial of TPIV 110 in the treatment of Her2/neu positive breast cancer patients has been designed and is now being reviewed by our Scientific Advisory Board and collaborators.

TPIV Products are Off-the-Shelf, Commercially Viable, with Excellent Potential Margins

We are continuously working on improving our product formulation and supply. We believe TPIV 200 and TPIV 110 are both very stable, off-the-shelf, lyophilized products that only require reconstitution at the clinical site before injection. We believe the investments we have made significant additionsin the formulation work we have performed will result in a commercially viable product with excellent potential profit margins.

Robust Product Data & Independent Vetting Key to High-Value Collaborations

We believe the Phase 1 data produced for both TPIV 200 and TPIV 100 in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic are the driving force behind the high-value collaborations we have been able to maintain and establish with organizations including Mayo Clinic, AstraZeneca, Sloan Kettering, and the U.S. Department of Defense. As we move forward into advancing the Phase 2 studies, some of which are represent collaboration with prestigious third party organizations, we believe this represents further independent vetting of potential of our personnel through appointmentstechnology.

Company Highlights

Reverse Stock Split

On September 16, 2016, at the opening of trading, we effected a Consultant Medical Director (Patrick Yeramian, M.D.)one-for-twelve reverse split of our common shares. The common shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on September 16, 2016. The reverse stock split was effected in connection with the Company’s intent to apply to list the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. On November 2, 2016, we received notification that we were approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Our common stock is expected to begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of trading on Tuesday, November 8, 2016 under the ticker symbol, TPIV.

Our historical financial results have been adjusted to reflect a reduction in the number of shares of our outstanding common stock from 62,890,763 shares to 5,240,897 shares at September 30, 2015 and a Consultant Regulatory Director (Dr. Stacy Suber).from 70,550,763 shares to 5,879,230 shares at December 31, 2015. In addition, effective upon the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of our common stock was reduced from 500 million shares to 41,666,667 shares. All fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share data herein has been retroactively adjusted for the reverse stock split. The par value was not adjusted as a result of the one for twelve reverse stock split.

August 2016 Private Placement Transaction

On August 10, 2016 and August 25, 2016, the Company completed private placements of units with certain accredited investors. The units consisted of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) one five-year warrant to purchase one share of Company common stock for $6.00. The Company issued and sold an aggregate of 653,166 units at a purchase price per unit of $4.80 for an aggregate of approximately $3.1 million. The Company incurred approximately $0.8 million in agency fees and legal costs.

In addition, the Company issued five-year warrants to the placement agent in the offering providing for the purchase of up to 65,317 shares of Company common stock for $4.80 per share.

Pursuant to the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the private placements, the Company is required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering for resale (a) the common stock issued in the private placement offering; (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the five-year warrants; and (c) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent. The Company is required to file the registration statement within 120 days of the August 10, 2016 closing or by December 8, 2016. The Company is also required to ensure that the registration statement is declared effective within 90 calendar days after filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or by March 8, 2017.

In accordance with the registration rights agreements, should the Company fail to meet the above criteria, the Company is subject to pay the investors liquidated damages. The liquidated damages shall be a cash sum payment calculated at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum of the aggregate purchase price for the registrable securities or aggregate amount upon exercise of the placement agent warrants.

In accordance with applicable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, a contingent obligation to make future payments must be recorded if the transfer of consideration under a registration payment arrangement is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company has determined that should it be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors of the private placements, the aggregate contingent liability it would be required to record would be approximately $29,000 per month for each month it fails or is estimated to fail to meet the above criteria.

At the August 10, 2016 and August 26,2016 private placement closings, and on September 30, 2016, the Company concluded that it is not probable that it will be required to remit any payments to the investors for failing to obtain an effective registration statement or failing to maintain its effectiveness.

August 2016 Warrant Exercises

On August 11, 2016, holders of an aggregate of 583,333 outstanding Series C Warrants and 416,667 Series C-1 Warrants, each providing for the purchase of one share of our common stock for $6.00 per share, exercised their warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $6,000,000. 

August 2016 Warrant Amendments

Simultaneous with the exercise of the warrants, we have appointedand holders of an aggregate of 3,096,665 outstanding Series A Warrants, Series A-1 Warrants, Series C Warrants, Series C-1 Warrants, Series D Warrants, Series D-1 Warrants, Series E Warrants and Series E-1 Warrants (the “Outstanding Series Warrants”) entered into Warrant Amendment Agreements (the “Amendment Agreement”), in which they agreed to amend the terms of the Outstanding Series Warrants to remove provisions from the Outstanding Series Warrants that had previously caused them to be classified as a derivative liability as opposed to equity on our balance sheet. In consideration for such amendment and the exercise of the Series C Warrants and Series C-1 Warrants, we issued an aggregate of 750,000 additional shares of common stock to such warrant holders and new five-year warrants to purchase 1 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.20 per share (the “Series F and F-1Warrants”).

Results of Operations

In this discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 20152016 Compared to Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 20142015

We recorded a net loss of $60,216,000$2,103,000 or ($1.80)0.29) basic and diluted per share during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20152016 compared to a net income of $753,000$28,503,000 or $0.05$7.04 basic and $4.23 diluted per share forduring the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2014.2015.

Operating costs increased to $1,138,000$2,722,000 during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20152016 compared to $511,000$1,738,000 in the prior period. Significant changes in operating expenses are outlined as follows:

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $937,000
·Research and development costs during the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $1,109,000 compared to $969,000 during the prior period. The increase was primarily due to the Company expensing the Mayo Foundation license fee payments in the current period and higher expenses relating to research.

·General and administrative expenses increased to $1,612,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $769,000 during the prior period. This was due to generally increased expenses relating to consulting, general and administrative and professional fees during the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to increased activity in operations.

·The changes in fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $684,000 as compared to $30,266,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The variance is due to the revaluation of the Series A and A-1, Series C and C-1, Series D and D-1 and Series E and E-1 warrants issued by us in January and March 2015. We revalue the derivative liabilities at each balance sheet date to fair value. The fair value is determined using Black-Scholes valuation model using various assumptions. The most significant changes in the assumptions was the difference in the strike price used at September 30, 2016 of $6.69 compared to $7.40 at September 30, 2015, the exercise of warrants with derivative liabilities and the August 2016 amendments to certain of the warrants to remove the clause that caused the warrants to be classified as derivative liabilities. Due to these significant changes, the fair value of the derivative liabilities decreased by $684,000 with a corresponding gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

·During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 the Company incurred $65,000 loss on debt settlement agreements relating to an outstanding agreement from a previous year. This compares to $25,000 loss on debt settlement agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 from $488,000 during the prior period. The increase was primarily due2016 Compared to increased investor relations activities and higher legal fee during the threeNine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2015 compared to the prior period. The decrease in non-cash consulting fees from the prior year was due to the Company curtailing its business development activities in the current year.

Research and development costs during the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $201,000 compared to $23,000 during the prior period. This was due to the Company’s plan to exercise its option to acquire Mayo Clinic technology as part of an agreement entered into in March 2014 and increased in in-house research activity in the current period.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 33,525,656 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 15,523,016 for the prior year.

·Research and development costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $3,343,000 compared to $2,324,000 during the prior period. This was due to the Company exercising its option to acquire Mayo Clinic technology as part of an agreement entered into in March 2014 and increased in-house research activity in the current period.

·General and administrative expenses increased to $3,558,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $1,580,000 during the prior period. This was due to generally increased expenses relating to consulting, general and administrative and professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as the Company’s operating activities increased substantially.

·The changes in fair value of derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $5,925,000 as compared to ($28,486,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The variance in the current period is due to the revaluation of the Series A and A-1, Series C and C-1, Series D and D-1 and Series E and E-1 warrants issued by us in January and March 2015. We revalue the derivative liabilities at each balance sheet date to fair value. The most significant changes in the assumptions was the difference in the strike price used at September 30, 2016 of $6.69 compared to $7.40 at September 30, 2015, the exercise of warrants with derivative liabilities and the August 2016 amendments to certain of the warrants to remove the clause that caused the warrants to be classified as derivative liabilities. Due to these significant changes, the fair value of the derivative liabilities decreased by $5,925,000 with a corresponding gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,356,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $1,688,000 during the prior period. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in non-cash consulting fees paid as stock-based compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior period. The decrease in non-cash consulting fees from the prior year was due to the Company curtailing its business development activities in the current year.

Research and development costs during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $811,000 compared to $45,000 during the prior period. This was due to the Company exercising its option to acquire Mayo Clinic technology as part of an agreement entered into in March 2014 and increased in in-house research activity in the current period.
·During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received $231,000 of a grant awarded to Mayo Foundation from the U.S. Department of Defense for the Phase II Clinical Trial of TPIV 200. The grant paid for the clinical supplies purchased by the Company.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 30,584,794 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 11,250,240 for the prior year.

·During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 the Company incurred $135,000 loss on debt settlement agreements relating to an outstanding debt agreement from previous years. This compares to $25,000 loss on debt settlement agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The March 2015 Warrants have substantially the same terms as the January 2015 Warrants.  Pursuant to a placement agent agreement, we agreed to issue warrants to purchase 10,417 common shares with substantially the same terms as the March 2015 Warrants.   

Restructuring of January and March 2015 Financings

In May 2015, we entered into a restructuring agreement with the investors of the January 2015 and March 2015 financings, where:

·The exercise price of the Series A and Series A-1 warrants was changed from $18.00 per share to $1.20 per share,

·The exercise price of Series B and Series B-1 warrants was changed from $4.80 per share to $2.40 per share,

·Each warrant of Series B and Series B-1 existing prior to the restructuring agreement was replaced with two warrants of such series,

·The exercise price of the Series C and Series C-1 warrants was changed from $12.00 per share to $6.00 per share, and

·Each warrant of Series C and Series C-1 existing prior to the restructuring agreement was replaced with two warrants of such series.

As a result of the restructuring agreement, we issued an additional 1,026,667 Series B and B-1 warrants and 1,026,667 Series C and C-1 Warrants.

2016 Financing

August 2016 Private Placement Transaction

On August 10, 2016 and August 25, 2016, the Company completed private placements of units with certain accredited investors. The units consisted of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) one five-year warrant to purchase one share of Company common stock for $6.00. The Company issued and sold an aggregate of 653,166 units at a purchase price per unit of $4.80 for an aggregate of approximately $3.1 million. The Company incurred approximately $0.8 million in agency fees and legal costs.

In addition, the Company issued five-year warrants to the placement agent in the offering providing for the purchase of up to 65,317 shares of Company common stock for $4.80 per share.

Pursuant to the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the private placements, the Company is required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering for resale (a) the common stock issued in the private placement offering; (b) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the five-year warrants; and (c) the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent. The Company is required to file the registration statement within 120 days of the August 10, 2016 closing or by December 8, 2016. The Company is also required to ensure that the registration statement is declared effective within 90 calendar days after filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or by March 8, 2017.

In accordance with the registration rights agreements, should the Company fail to meet the above criteria, the Company is subject to pay the investors liquidated damages. The liquidated damages shall be a cash sum payment calculated at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum of the aggregate purchase price for the registrable securities or aggregate amount upon exercise of the placement agent warrants.

- 22 -

In accordance with applicable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, a contingent obligation to make future payments must be recorded if the transfer of consideration under a registration payment arrangement is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company has determined that should it be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors of the private placements, the aggregate contingent liability it would be required to record would be approximately $29,000 per month for each month it fails or is estimated to fail to meet the above criteria.

At the August 10, 2016 and August 26,2016 private placement closings, and on September 30, 2016, the Company concluded that it is not probable that it will be required to remit any payments to the investors for failing to obtain an effective registration statement or failing to maintain its effectiveness.

Warrant Exercises

Between June 30,16, 2015 and December 31, 2014:9, 2015, 3,090,000 shares were issued upon exercise of certain warrants we issued in connection with our 2015 financings, providing $9.22 million in proceeds. In August 2016, holders of an aggregate of 583,333 outstanding Series C Warrants and 416,667 Series C-1 Warrants, each providing for the purchase of one share of our common stock for $6.00 per share, exercised their warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $6,000,000.

Future Capital Requirements

Our capital requirements through 2017 will depend on numerous factors, including the success of our research and development, the resources we devote to develop and support our technologies and our success in pursuing strategic licensing and funded product development relationships with external partners. Subject to the availability ofour ability to raise additional financing,capital including through possible joint ventures and/or partnerships, we expect to incur substantial expenditures to further develop our technologies including continued increases in costs related to research, nonclinical testing and clinical studies, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company. We intend to spend approximately $7,500,000 over the next twelve months in carrying out our plan of operations. At June 30, 2015,We will require substantial funds to conduct research and development and nonclinical and Phase II clinical testing of our licensed, patented technologies and to develop sublicensing relationships for the Phase II and III clinical testing. Our plans include seeking both equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements with entities interested in our technologies, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations and research and development programs.

We expect to continue to seek additional funding for our operations. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we had $3,105,000were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, cash on handdelay or eliminate some or all of our planned clinical testing and aresearch and development activities, which could harm our business. The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We also will require additional capital beyond our currently forecasted amounts.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of our working capital deficitrequirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

·the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;

·the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting nonclinical and clinical trials including the research and development expenditures we expect to make in connection with our license agreements with Mayo Foundation;

·the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

·our ability to maintain current research and development licensing agreements and to establish new strategic partnerships, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements;

·our ability to achieve our milestones under our licensing arrangements and the payment obligations we may have;

·the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of such litigation; and

·the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or royalties on, our future products, if any.

- 23 -

We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of $68,102,000. In Januaryfinancing include strategic relationships, public or private sales of our shares or debt and March 2015,other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we raised approximately $2.33 million in privateneed it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and brokered placementsour business, financial condition and another $2,500,000 in warrants exercised in May 2015.results of operations would be materially harmed.

Various conditions outside of our control may detract from our ability to raise additional capital needed to execute our plan of operations, including overall market conditions in the international and local economies. We recognize that the United States economy has suffered through a period of uncertainty during which the capital markets have been depressed,impacted, and that there is no certainty that these levels will stabilize or reverse despite the optics of an improving economy. Any of these factors could have a material impact upon our ability to raise financing and, as a result, upon our short-term or long-term liquidity.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,828,000 compared to $611,000 during the prior period. We had no revenues during the current or prior periods. Operating expenditures, excluding non-cash interest and stock-based charges during the current period primarily consisted of consulting and management fees, office and general expenditures, and professional fees.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $4,791,000 compared to $584,000 during the prior period. Current period financing consisted of proceeds from private placements and warrant exercises while prior period financing relates to proceeds from convertible notes.

As of June 30, 2015, we anticipate that we will need significant financing to enable us to meet our anticipated expenditures for the next twelve months, which are expected to be in the range of $7,500,000 assuming a single Phase 2 clinical trial.

Going Concern

We have no sources of revenue to provide incoming cash flows to sustain our future operations. As outlined above, our ability to pursue our planned business activities is dependent upon our successful efforts to raise additional financing. Thesecapital.

While these factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. As at June 30, 2015, we had accumulated losses of $160,359,000 since inception. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

 

Consultant Litigation

In May 2012, we issued whatManagement is now equal to 112,000 sharesnot aware of our common stock to two consultants. We contestedany material legal proceedings and there are no pending material procedures that would affect the validityproperty of the issuancesCompany. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any government authority or any other party involving the Company. As of the date of this common stock based on our belief that the consultants did not perform the services agreedQuarterly Report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to under their respective consulting agreements. While we initially were ableus in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to delay the sale of the contested shares, we were not successfulus in clawing back the contested shares. A claim for perceived damages from Michael Gardner (one of the consultants) suffered as a result of our contesting the issuance under the consulting agreements has been filed in the Supreme Court of New York. He has based his claim for damages on the difference between market price at the time we were able to delay the sale of his shares and the market price at the time of the sale of all of his shares. As the result of a judicial decision in New York he received a bond payment of ($100,000) that the Company had used to secure a temporary restraining order against the issuance of stock to him.

On July 18, 2014, the International Center for Dispute Resolution International Arbitration Tribunal issued a Final Award in the matter of TapImmune Inc. vs. Michael Gardner awarding TapImmune $196,204 plus post-award interest at a rate of 9% per year. This award stemmed from the dispute discussed above with Mr. Gardner regarding the May 2012 consulting agreement. The arbitrator found that we were fraudulently induced into entering said agreement through “1) misrepresentations as to what he would or could do for the Company, including raising funds, and 2) omissions about his reputation and ability to obtain or assist in obtaining financing for TapImmune” among other reasons. We are attempting to collect the award from Mr. Gardner.
