Corporate overview | 1. Corporate overview: Overview The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Inhibitor Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “INTI”, “we”, “us” or similar terminology), have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of March 31, 2020, and for all periods presented, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K As used herein, the term “Common Stock” means the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. Readers of this Quarterly Report are strongly encouraged to review the risk factors relating to the Company which are set forth in the 2019 Annual Report and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Nature of the Business and Background The Company is a pharmaceutical development company that is focused on developing and ultimately commercializing innovative therapeutics for patients with certain cancers and certain non-cancerous The Company’s current primary focus is on the development of therapies initially for prostate and lung cancer in the U.S. market utilizing SUBA-Itraconazole, a patented, oral formulation of the drug itraconazole currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and marketed as an anti-fungal, for which the Company holds an exclusive U.S. license in the licensed field from the Company’s majority stockholder, Mayne Pharma Ventures Pty Ltd. (“Mayne Pharma”). SUBA-Itraconazole is currently licensed to the Company by Mayne Pharma on an exclusive basis in the United States in the field of certain cancers (prostate and lung cancer) and certain non-cancerous The Company demonstrated in its previous Phase 2b trial for SUBA-Itraconazole BCCNS that the dosing of oral capsules of SUBA-Itraconazole affects the Hedgehog signaling pathway, a major regulator of many fundamental cellular processes, which, in turn, can impact the development and growth of cancers such as basal cell carcinoma. Itraconazole has been approved by the FDA for, and has been extensively used to, treat fungal infections and has an extensive history of safe and effective use in humans. The Company has developed, optioned and licensed intellectual property and know-how In November 2019, the Company filed an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) to commence Phase 2b testing of SUBA-Itraconazole as a treatment for late-stage, castrate resistant prostate cancer (this product candidate is referred to as SUBA-Itraconazole Prostate). In December 2019, the Company received authorization from FDA to launch such Phase 2b of SUBA-Itraconazole Prostate. The Company’s 2020 goal for SUBA-Itraconazole Prostate is (assuming it obtains adequate funding and assuming no material delays due to the novel coronavirus outbreak) to commence the human testing of SUBA-Itraconazole Prostate in conjunction with chemotherapy for the treatment of late-stage prostate cancer. Manufacturing and Product Supply and Relationship with Mayne Pharma The Company does not have any production facilities or manufacturing personnel. The Third Amended SLA provides for the supply to the Company of specially formulated capsules of SUBA-Itraconazole, manufactured by Mayne Pharma under cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) standards, for use by the Company in its clinical trials and for the future commercial supply following FDA approvals, if obtained. Pursuant to the Third Amended SLA, Mayne Pharma is obligated to supply the Company with its patented formulation of SUBA-Itraconazole in a particular oral dose formulation for the treatment of human patients with certain cancers and non-cancerous |

Liquidity and management's plans | 2. Liquidity and management’s plans: The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.3 million as of March 31, 2020. Based on the Company’s current operational plan and budget, and taking into account the recent reduction in the Company’s salary obligations, as described in Note 6, the Company expects that it has sufficient cash to manage its business into the third quarter of 2020, although this estimation assumes the Company does not begin any clinical trials, acquire other drug development opportunities or otherwise face unexpected events, costs or contingencies, any of which could affect the Company’s cash requirements. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding. The Company intends to finance additional research and development, commercialization and distribution efforts and its working capital needs primarily through: • proceeds from public and private financings and, potentially, from other strategic transactions (including potential royalty-related financing transactions); • royalty revenue from Mayne Pharma from sales of SUBA-Itraconazole BCCNS upon and assuming approval by FDA (after earned royalties have been applied to any royalties advanced under Third Amended SLA, although it is uncertain if and when such FDA approval will be obtained); • proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants previously issued in private financings to investors; • potential partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies to assist in the supply, manufacturing and distribution of our products for which we would expect to receive upfront milestone and royalty payments; • potential licensing and joint venture arrangements with third parties, including other pharmaceutical companies where we would receive funding based on out-licensing • government or private foundation grants or loans which would be awarded to us to further develop our current and future therapies, or government payroll protection or similar programs available as a result of the novel coronavirus outbreak. However, there is a risk that none of these plans will be implemented in a manner necessary to sustain the Company for an extended period of time and that the Company will be unable to obtain additional financing when needed on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In particular, the Company is presently subject to shareholder litigation (see Note 5 – Legal Proceedings). The existence of the Action and the Class Action (as defined below) and the uncertainty surrounding their outcome has impeded the Company’s ability to secure additional funding and may continue to do so for so long as the outcome of the Action and the Class Action is uncertain. While the Company believes the Company may have further clarity on the Action during the third quarter of 2020 when the court in which the Action is pending is anticipated to rule on the defendants’ motion to dismiss, such ruling may be adverse to the defendants or create additional uncertainties or may be further delayed due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, which could continue to hamper the Company’s ability to raise capital. If adequate funds are not available when needed, the Company may be required to significantly reduce or refocus operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require the Company to relinquish rights to technologies or potential markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, on January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern and on March 12, 2020 the WHO announced the outbreak was a pandemic. On January 31, 2020 the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary declared a public health emergency, and subsequently state and local governments have imposed various restrictions on public activity. The Company has maintained operations virtually during the outbreak, but the impact of the outbreak currently is unknown and rapidly evolving. The related health crisis has adversely affected the U.S. and global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that has impacted the financial markets and the Company’s ability to raise capital. As a result of the foregoing circumstances, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Estimates The preparation of condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company currently has no ongoing source of revenues. Miscellaneous income, including interest, is recognized when earned by the Company. Deferred revenue represents cash received for royalties in advance of being earned. Such payments are reflected as deferred revenue until recognized under the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue would be classified as current if management believes the Company will be able to recognize the deferred amount as revenue within twelve months of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue will be recognized when the product is sold and the royalty is earned. Since all deferred revenue is related to the SUBA-Itraconazole BCCNS product which is yet to be approved by FDA, the Company has determined that 100% of the advances of the royalty received by Mayne Pharma should be classified as non-current. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company may maintain cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts which is $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no excess of the amount covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include the expenses paid to third parties who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company and purchased in-process Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and non-employees In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options issued in March 2020 that vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, the assumptions were as follows: expected price volatility of 97.4%; risk-free interest rate of 0.52%; weighted average expected life in years of 5.5; and no dividend yield. The value of these awards is based upon their grant-date fair value. That cost is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributed to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to the differences in the periods that they are expected to reverse. These differences occur primarily in share-based compensation. Recent accounting pronouncements: Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective, and does not believe that they will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

The grant date fair value of common stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes model on the date of issuance and the number of shares expected to vest. The total Black-Scholes value of the March 20, 2020 stock options grants was approximately $0.2 million. On February 3, 2019, members of the Company’s Board of Directors were awarded approximately 3.0 million stock options pursuant to the EIP with an exercise price of $0.076 and Black-Scholes value of $0.054 that vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. The grant date fair value of common stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes model on the date of issuance and the number of shares expected to vest. The total Black-Scholes value of the February 3, 2019 stock options grants was approximately $0.2 million. On December 12, 2019, a new member of the Company’s Board of Direct ors Total stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was approximately $0.02 million and is related to common stock options issued pursuant to the EIP in 2019 and 2020 as mentioned above. The expense is classified as general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. As of March 31, 2020, there were 9,502,685 outstanding common stock options under the EIP of which 5,002,685 were vested. There was approximately $0.2 million in unamortized stock-based compensation at March 31, 2020. |

Legal Proceedings | 5. Legal Proceedings: The Company may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as discussed below, the Company is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings. On July 9, 2019, Hedgepath, LLC (“HPLLC”), a significant minority stockholder of the Company and an investment vehicle associated with the Company’s former Executive Chairman, filed a civil action captioned Hedgepath, LLC v. Magrab, et al. Number 2019-0529-JTL, On December 3, 2019, HPLLC filed the Verified Amended and Supplemental Complaint. In the Complaint in the Action, purportedly brought directly and derivatively on behalf of the Company, HPLLC alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, declaratory judgement, and dilution of stockholder equity, against the Individual Defendants and Mayne Pharma in connection with (i) the previously announced issuance of certain Company equity securities to Mayne Pharma on or about January 8, 2018, (ii) Mayne Pharma’s alleged influence over the timing and conduct of the previous clinical trial of SUBA-Itraconazole for the treatment of BCCNS, and (iii) previously announced amendments to the Supply and License Agreement, as amended (presently memorialized at the Third Amended SLA), between the Company and Mayne Pharma and certain transactions contemplated thereby. The Complaint also alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty and fraudulent misrepresentation in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements included in Company press releases and filings with the SEC. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages, equitable and other relief from the defendants. The Company’s director and officer insurance has reimbursed all of the Company’s legal costs to date from HPLLC’s initial inquiry related to this matter. Legal costs associated directly with the Company as a nominal defendant will be payable by the Company until certain retention amounts are reached. Such costs have been nominal through March 20 On January 10, 2020, the Individual Defendants and Mayne Pharma each filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. Those motions are pending as of the date of this Report, and a hearing on those motions was scheduled on March 26, 2020, but was postponed to June 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Company believes it may have further clarity on this matter during the third quarter of 2020 when the court in which the Action is pending is anticipated to rule on the defendants’ motion to dismiss. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, there can be no certainty that the court in which the Action is pending will rule on the defendants’ motion to dismiss during the third quarter of 2020. The Company believes the Action is legally and factually baseless, and the Individual Defendants intend to defend themselves vigorously. Additionally, on March 23, 2020, a Stockholder Class Action Complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by a Company stockholder and purported class representative Samuel P. Sears, commencing litigation captioned Sears v. Magrab et al., C.A. No. 2020-0215-JTL claims-one Defendants-and The Company believes the Class Action is legally and factually baseless, and the Individual Defendants intend to defend themselves vigorously. |
