1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

We are a pharmaceutical company developing proprietary therapeutics for the treatment of serious medical disorders. Our product development programs utilize our proprietary long-term drug delivery platform, ProNeura™, and focus primarily on innovative treatments for select chronic diseases for which steady state delivery of a drug provides an efficacy and/or safety benefit. We are directly developing our product candidates and also utilize corporate, academic and government partnerships as appropriate. We operate in only one business segment, the development of pharmaceutical products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any future interim periods.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.

In May 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved our Probuphine New Drug Application (“NDA”) and pursuant to our license agreement with Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Braeburn”), as amended to date, we received a $15 million milestone payment and subsequently transferred the NDA to Braeburn.

At March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.9 million, which we believe are sufficient to fund our planned operations through the second quarter of 2018. We will require additional funds, either through payments from Braeburn under the license agreement or through other financing arrangements, to advance our current ProNeura development programs beyond the planned activities for the next 12 months and to complete the regulatory approval process necessary to commercialize any products we might develop.

Going concern assessment

In accordance with Accounting Standard Update, or ASU No. 2014-15, we assessed going concern uncertainty in our financial statements to determine if we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand and working capital to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period” as defined by ASU No. 2014-15. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to us, we considered various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and made certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and our ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, we made certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent we deem probable those implementations can be achieved and we have the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15.

Based upon the above assessment, we believe our cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.9 million at March 31, 2017 are sufficient to fund our planned operations through the second quarter of 2018. We will require additional funds, either through payments from Braeburn under the license agreement or through other financing arrangements, to advance our current ProNeura development programs beyond the planned activities for the next 12 months and to complete the regulatory approval process necessary to commercialize any products we might develop.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue principally from collaborative research and development arrangements, technology licenses, and government grants. Consideration received for revenue arrangements with multiple components is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their respective selling prices. The selling price for each unit is based on vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, if available, third party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third party evidence is available. The applicable revenue recognition criteria are then applied to each of the units. 

Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) a contractual agreement exists; (2) transfer of technology has been completed or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. For each source of revenue, we comply with the above revenue recognition criteria in the following manner:

Research and Development Costs and Related Accrual

Research and development expenses include internal and external costs. Internal costs include salaries and employment related expenses, facility costs, administrative expenses and allocations of corporate costs. External expenses consist of costs associated with outsourced contract research organization, or CRO, activities, sponsored research studies, product registration, patent application and prosecution, and investigator sponsored trials. We also record accruals for estimated ongoing clinical trial costs. Clinical trial costs represent costs incurred by CROs and clinical sites. These costs are recorded as a component of research and development expenses. Under our agreements, progress payments are typically made to investigators, clinical sites and CROs. We analyze the progress of the clinical trials, including levels of patient enrollment, invoices received and contracted costs when evaluating the adequacy of accrued liabilities. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in determining the accrued balance in any accounting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions. Revisions are charged to expense in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, addressing eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the amended guidance to have a material impact on our statements of cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated events that have occurred after March 31, 2017 and through the date that the financial statements are issued.

Fair Value Measurements

We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on authoritative guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework consisting of three levels for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable;

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

Financial instruments, including receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which we believe approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Our warrant liabilities are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the value is calculated using significant judgment based on our own assumptions in the valuation of these liabilities.

As a result of the fair value adjustment of the warrant liabilities, we recorded non-cash gains on decreases in the fair value of approximately $422,000 and approximately $4,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 in our Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. See Note 6, “Warrant Liability” for further discussion on the calculation of the fair value of the warrant liability.

2. Stock Plans

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recorded for awards under the stock option plans for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

No tax benefit was recognized related to stock-based compensation expense since we have incurred operating losses and we have established a full valuation allowance to offset all the potential tax benefits associated with our deferred tax assets.

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions to estimate the stock-based compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

Options to purchase approximately 436,000 and approximately 168,000 common shares were granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizes option activity for the three month period ended March 31, 2017:

No shares of restricted stock were awarded to employees, directors and consultants during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, there was approximately $1,302,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years.

3. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share excludes the effect of dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised into shares. In calculating diluted net loss per share, the numerator is adjusted for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability (only if dilutive) and the denominator is increased to include the number of potentially dilutive common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: 

The table below presents common shares underlying stock options and warrants that are excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. These are excluded from the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

4. Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss for the periods presented is comprised solely of our net income and loss. We had no items of other comprehensive income (loss) during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $3.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

5. Braeburn License

We are party to a license agreement with Braeburn pursuant to which we have granted Braeburn the exclusive commercialization rights to Probuphine in the United States and its territories and Canada. Under the agreement (as amended to date, the “Agreement”), we received a non-refundable license fee of $15.75 million (approximately $15.0 million net of expenses) in December 2012 and a $15.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of the Probuphine NDA in 2016. We receive royalties on net sales of Probuphine ranging in percentage from the mid-teens to the low twenties. Upon receipt of approval, our obligation was fulfilled and we recognized the full amount of the milestone payment in accordance with the milestone method of revenue recognition. The Agreement also provides for up to $165 million in sales milestones and $35 million in regulatory milestones. In addition, we are entitled to receive a low single digit royalty, up to an aggregate of $50 million, on sales by Braeburn, if any, of other competing continuous delivery treatments for opioid dependence as defined in the Agreement, and can also elect to receive a low single digit royalty on sales by Braeburn, if any, of other products in the addiction market in exchange for a similar reduction in our royalties on Probuphine. We will be reimbursed by Braeburn for any developments services and activities undertaken by us at Braeburn’s request.

6. Warrant Liability

We currently have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 983,395 shares of common stock (“Series A Warrants”). The Series A Warrants are exercisable at $4.89 per share and expire in April 2018.  The Series A Warrants contain a provision where the warrant holder has the option to receive cash, equal to the Black Scholes fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant, as cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined to include various merger, acquisition or stock transfer activities). Due to this provision, ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity requires that these warrants be classified as liabilities. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Lattice valuation model, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in the Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Lattice model provides for assumptions regarding volatility and risk-free interest rates within the total period to maturity.   

The key assumptions used to value the Series A Warrants were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(the “Exchange Act”). Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements relating to our product development programs and any other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s current expectations include those risks and uncertainties relating to the regulatory approval process, the development, testing, production and marketing of our drug candidates, patent and intellectual property matters and strategic agreements and relationships. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law.

Probuphine® and ProNeura™ are trademarks of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. This Form 10-Q also includes trade names and trademarks of companies other than Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

References herein to “we,” “us,” “Titan,” and “our company” refer to Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

Overview

We are a pharmaceutical company developing proprietary therapeutics for the treatment of serious medical disorders. Our product development programs utilize our proprietary long-term drug delivery platform, ProNeura™, and focus primarily on innovative treatments for select chronic diseases for which steady state delivery of a drug provides an efficacy and/or safety benefit.

Probuphine®, our first product candidate based on the ProNeura platform, was approved by the FDA in May 2016 for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence in patients who are stable on low to moderate doses of daily sublingual buprenorphine treatment. We have licensed development and commercialization rights of Probuphine for the U.S. and Canadian markets to Braeburn and pursuant to the license agreement as amended to date, we received a $15 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of the Probuphine NDA, and are entitled to receive royalties on net sales of Probuphine ranging in percentage from the mid-teens to the low twenties based on a tiered structure. The agreement also provides for up to an additional $165 million in sales milestones and $35 million in regulatory milestones on Probuphine. Additionally, in certain circumstances the agreement entitles us to a low single digit royalty, up to an aggregate of $50 million, on net sales by Braeburn, if any, of other future competing products in the addiction market, e.g. a monthly depot injection. Braeburn commenced commercialization activities in support of the Probuphine product launch shortly after FDA approval. During the second half of 2016, Braeburn was engaged in training qualified health care providers in the implant insertion and removal procedures, physician outreach, payment and reimbursement discussions with third party payors and sales and marketing efforts associated with the launch including hiring personnel for a field sales force. In January 2017, Braeburn indicated that more than 2,500 health care providers from all 50 states and Puerto Rico were certified to provide Probuphine to their patients, and more than 70 payors, including private insurers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Veterans Administration programs covered Probuphine. Also, the permanent J-code for Probuphine as the first six-month buprenorphine implant for the maintenance treatment of opioid addiction became effective on January 1, 2017, and we were informed that it should be incorporated into the reimbursement processing systems of most third party payor plans by early to mid-second quarter 2017. With a field sales force and medical support staff of more than 60 in place by early first quarter 2017, Braeburn commenced a full commercial launch focused on more than 80 key treatment centers throughout the U.S. to establish ‘sites of excellence’ for the long-term maintenance treatment with Probuphine. As with the launch of any new method of medical treatment in the current reimbursement environment, progress is slow during the initial several months while the challenges of the third party payor system are addressed. Braeburn has devoted substantial resources to support the patient and the physician community to facilitate this process of getting prior approvals from third party payors for treatment with Probuphine. While they have indicated good progress with some payors, it remains a challenge with some and recently Braeburn expanded its distribution channels and processing capacity by adding a second specialty pharmacy company to increase coverage across the country. During the first quarter, the number of patients seeking treatment with Probuphine showed a steady growth from month to month, and at the same time the number of health care providers that have prescribed Probuphine has been increasing from week to week. While revenues to Titan from Probuphine have to date been limited, the patient and physician trends are encouraging and we believe Braeburn is establishing a strong foundation for future success. We have been advised that most patients completing the first six month treatment with Probuphine during the quarter opted for treatment continuation. We believe we will benefit from the trend of opioid addiction treatment’s move towards extended release formulations, a trend evidenced by the development efforts of the major suppliers of daily dosed buprenorphine products aimed at adding extended release formulations to their product pipeline. However, in light of the difficulties encountered to date, we cannot predict either the timing or the degree to which Probuphine will be accepted by the medical community.

We have continued to make progress in the efforts to advance potential commercialization of Probuphine outside of the U.S. and Canada. To obtain regulatory clarity for product approval in Europe, we met in December 2016 with the U.K. and German regulatory agencies, and based on feedback from these meetings we submitted an application to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, seeking eligibility for Probuphine to follow the centralized review and approval process for its Marketing Authorization Application or MAA. In early March 2017, we received confirmation from the EMA that Probuphine is eligible for a centralized review and approval process. We were recently informed by the EMA that a pediatric indication waiver has been granted. While we are still early in this process, it is our estimate that an MAA could be filed in the fourth quarter of 2017. We have also been granted Small Manufacturing Entity, or SME, status in Europe, which provides for some monetary benefits during the application process and commercialization. We have continued the interactions regarding potential partnerships for Probuphine in Europe and elsewhere, and this regulatory clarity has helped in advancing the dialogue.

We believe that our ProNeura long term drug delivery platform has the potential to be used in the treatment of other chronic conditions where maintaining stable, around the clock blood levels of a medication may benefit the patient and improve medical outcomes. We have two products in early development using the ProNeura platform, an implant designed to provide long-term delivery of ropinirole, a dopamine agonist approved as a daily dosed oral formulation for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, and an implant designed to provide long-term delivery of T3, a synthetic thyroid hormone approved as a daily dosed oral formulation for the treatment of hypothyroidism.

The non-clinical development work related to the ropinirole implant, including the toxicology studies, was completed in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the IND was submitted to the FDA in January 2017. In late February 2017, in a telephone conversation, we received comments from the FDA following its initial review of the IND requesting additional information related to final test results for the ropinirole implant and the applicator, as well as the name of the Principal Investigator, and we were asked to hold the initiation of the clinical study. We received the FDA’s written comments in late March giving details of the requested information. We are working as quickly as possible to provide the FDA with the additional information and expect to have during June all the data needed for the FDA submission. .We hope to be able to commence the clinical study in early third quarter, although there is no assurance that the FDA will clear the IND within that timeframe, if at all.

During 2016 we identified refinements to the T3 implant formulation, however, due to shortage of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, further investigation had to be temporarily suspended during the fourth quarter of 2016. In early 2017, we obtained the requisite supply of the API and have commenced work towards the optimization of the T3 implant. We intend to have further discussions this quarter with experts on the clinical development pathway, and the timing of further development activities will be dependent on those discussions and the availability of additional financial resources.

Our goal is to further expand the product pipeline, and we are currently evaluating other drugs and disease settings for opportunities to use the ProNeura platform in potential treatment applications where conventional treatment is limited by variability in blood drug levels and poor patient compliance. 

We operate in only one business segment, the development of pharmaceutical products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on recent accounting pronouncements.

Results of Operations for the three months Ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016

License revenues were approximately $40,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared with no license revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2016. License revenue for the 2017 period reflects the recognition of royalties earned on net sales of our Probuphine product by Braeburn. 

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 were approximately $2.1 million, compared to approximately $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2016, an increase of approximately $1.4 million, or 200%. The increase in research and development costs was primarily associated with increases in external research and development expenses related to the support of our Probuphine and ProNeura product development programs and other research and development expenses. During the three month period ended March 31, 2017, external research and development expenses relating to our product development programs were approximately $1.1 million compared to approximately $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2016. Other research and development expenses include internal operating costs such as clinical research and development personnel-related expenses, clinical trials related travel expenses, and allocation of facility and corporate costs. As a result of the risks and uncertainties inherently associated with pharmaceutical research and development activities described elsewhere in this report, we are unable to estimate the specific timing and future costs of our clinical development programs or the timing of material cash inflows, if any, from our product candidates.

General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 were approximately $1.4 million compared to approximately $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2016, an increase of approximately $0.3 million, or 27%.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily related to increases in non-cash stock-based compensation and employee-related costs of approximately $0.1 million and professional fees of approximately $0.1 million.

Net other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $0.4 million compared to net other expense of approximately $15,000 for the comparable period in 2016. Net other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 consisted primarily of non-cash gains on changes in the fair value of warrants and interest income.

Our net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $3.0 million, or approximately $0.14 per share, compared to approximately $1.8 million, or approximately $0.09 per share, for the comparable period in 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through the sale of our securities and the issuance of debt, as well as with proceeds from warrant and option exercises, corporate licensing and collaborative agreements, and government-sponsored research grants. At March 31, 2017, we had working capital of approximately $10.0 million compared to working capital of approximately $13.0 million at December 31, 2016.

Our operating activities used approximately $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. This consisted primarily of the net loss for the period of approximately $3.0 million, $0.4 million related to non-cash gains on changes in the fair value of warrants and $0.2 million related to net changes in other operating assets and liabilities. This was offset, in part, by non-cash charges of approximately $0.4 million related to stock-based compensation and approximately $0.1 million related to depreciation and amortization. Uses of cash in operating activities were primarily to fund product development programs and administrative expenses.

Our investing activities used approximately $26,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which was primarily related to purchases of equipment.

We had no financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.9 million, which we believe are sufficient to fund our planned operations through the second quarter of 2018. We will require additional funds, either through payments from Braeburn under the license agreement or through other financing arrangements, to advance our current ProNeura development programs beyond the planned activities for the next 12 months and to complete the regulatory approval process necessary to commercialize any products we might develop.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risk disclosures set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 have not changed materially.
