REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Hygeia Therapeutics, Inc. and Canterbury Laboratories, LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Hygeia Therapeutics, Inc. and Canterbury Laboratories, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December, 2012. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and as of December 31, 2012 had negative working capital, accumulated deficit and stockholders and members deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HYGEIA THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND CANTERBURY LABORATORIES, LLC

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 and 2011

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 and 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

1.Description of Operations

 

Hygeia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Hygeia”), a Delaware Corporation, based in Holden, Massachusetts was formerly known as Orcas Therapeutics, Inc. It was incorporated on November 14, 2005 to acquire and develop biodegradable hormone receptor modulators for topical indications. Hygeia is focused on developing topical therapies for conditions where localized treatments offer advantages over systemic therapies. It also conducts testing on drugs including topical synthetic estrogen and anti-androgen.

 

Hygeia has signed an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Yale License”) with Yale University (“Yale”) under U.S. Patent 7,015,21115.alpha.-Substituted Estradiol Carboxylic Acid Esters as Locally Active Estrogens,” U.S. Patent 6,476,012 Estradiol-16.alpha Carboxylic Acid Esters as Locally Active Estrogens and U.S. Patent 8,552,061 “Locally active "soft" antiandrogens” (“Yale Patents”). Hygeia agreed to pay royalty fees to Yale quarterly beginning in the first calendar quarter in which net sales occur.

 

Canterbury Laboratories, LLC (“Canterbury”), is a Delaware Limited Liability Company that was formed on October 14, 2011 and began operations on February 22, 2012. Initially, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Hygeia. Canterbury is engaged in the premium cosmeceutical business. Cosmeceuticals are the latest addition to the health industry and are sometimes described as cosmetic products with “drug-like benefits.” Generally, cosmeceuticals are products sold over-the-counter, without the regulatory requirement of approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Authority (“FDA”).

 

A reorganization and separation agreement was signed on October 20, 2011 between Canterbury and Hygeia under which Hygeia received 100% of all issued and outstanding units of all classes of limited liability company membership interests of Canterbury. Hygeia distributed these profit units to holders of its common and preferred stock, with each holder of 1 share of common or preferred stock in Hygeia given 1 profit unit in Canterbury. Further, 720,821 shares were issued to the Hygeia’s non-qualifying stock option (“NSO”) holders to liquidate the 720,821 shares of outstanding NSO’s. Holders of Hygeia stock purchase warrants for 1,782,901 shares were issued in exchange an equal number of units of Canterbury stock purchase warrants. Pursuant to the license agreement 1,606,035 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock was issued to Yale University for the Yale License. In February 2012, Hygeia assigned its rights and obligations related to non-prescription products under the Yale License to Canterbury.

 

As of September 30, 2013, equity holders of Hygeia held 94% of the membership units of Canterbury. Accordingly, the financial results of Hygeia and Canterbury are presented herein on a combined basis and the combination of Hygeia and Canterbury will be referred to herein as the “Company” or “Canterbury Group.”

 

2.Going Concern

 

The Company has suffered losses from operations and, without additional capital, currently lacks liquidity to meet its current obligations. The Company had a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $296,065 and $244,049, respectively and a loss of $567,304 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012 the Company had negative working capital of $470,515 and an accumulated deficit of $2,419,384 and as of September 30, 2013, the Company had negative working capital of $322,277 and an accumulated deficit of $2,986,688. Unless additional financing is obtained, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

7
 

 

In 2011, the Company raised $912 through an advance from a related party and $5,000 through an advance from a shareholder. In 2012, the Company raised $179,702 through the issuance of Series A convertible preferred stock for Canterbury and used $2,042 to repay an advance from a shareholder. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company raised a net of $659,547 through the issuance of convertible promissory notes. The Company is seeking additional capital to continue and expand its operation. However, due to the current economic environment and the Company’s current financial condition, we cannot assure current and future stockholders there will be adequate capital available when needed and on acceptable terms. The financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

3.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and September 30, 2013, along with the statements of operations for 2011 and 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, combine the accounts of Hygeia and Canterbury. All significant intercompany balances were eliminated in combination.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate fair value (“FV”) due to their short maturities.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the five-year estimated useful lives of the related assets.

 

Intangible Asset

 

The intangible asset is the $175,000 the Company paid for Yale License in 2011, net of amortization. The value of this intangible asset was $155,281 and $171,685 as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively and $132,571 as of September 30, 2013.

 

8
 

 

To review the value of the intangible asset at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and September 30, 2013, the Company followed the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and first examined the facts and circumstances for the asset to determine if it was more likely than not that an impairment had occurred. The Company then compares discounted cash flow forecasts related to the asset with the stated value of the asset on the balance sheet. The objective is to determine the value of the intangible asset to an industry participant who is a willing buyer not under compulsion to buy and the Company is a willing seller not under compulsion to sell. Based on this process, the Company determined that the value of the intangible asset was not impaired as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 or September 30, 2013.

 

The forecast for the revenue streams associated with the intangible asset were discounted at a range of discount rates determined by taking the risk-free interest rate at the time of valuation, plus premiums for equity risk to small companies in general, for factors specific to the Company and the business for a total discount rate of 24%. Terminal values were determined by taking cash flows in year five of the forecast, then applying an annual growth of 2% and discounting that stream of cash flows by the discount rate used for that section of the business.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company performs research to develop compounds for prescription pharmaceuticals and non-prescription “cosmeceuticals.” The first of these compounds has been developed for incorporation into a non-prescription, cosmeceutical product formulation (“Product”) under an Exclusive Development Collaboration Agreement (“EDC”). The EDC party agreed to pay the Company the costs and expenses associated with the contract and fees for management services provided by the Company. Revenue is recognized when each sub-project of the product research is completed and delivered.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and were $83,000 for 2011, $0 for 2012 and $20,668 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Income Taxes

 

Canterbury is a limited liability partnership for tax purposes and income and losses are distributed to the members. Hygeia is a C Corporation for tax purposes and Hygeia utilizes FASB ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)” Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired.  If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the FV of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

6.Intangible Assets

 

On October 14, 2011, in exchange for the Yale License, Hygeia issued 1,606,035 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock to Yale when the Company’s stock was valued at $0.108964. Hygeia capitalized $175,000 for the value of the patent license and was amortizing it over the life of the underlying patent which expires in 2022. On February 22, 2012, Hygeia transferred the net carrying value of this asset totaling $168,154 to Canterbury. The amortization for this license was $31,000 and $31,986 for 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $23,250 and $3,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment was recorded in 2011 or 2012, or for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

12.   Income Taxes

 

Canterbury is a limited liability partnership for tax purposes and losses are distributed to the members and not retained by Canterbury. Hygeia is a C Corporation for tax purposes and retains losses at Hygeia. At December 31, 2012 Hygeia had available unused net operating loss carry-forwards that may be applied against future taxable income. Hygeia incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded because of the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. The net operating loss carry-forwards for Hygeia, if not realized, will begin to expire in 2028.

 

For financial reporting purposes, Hygeia has incurred a loss each year since inception. Based on the available objective evidence, including Hygeia’s history and losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net operating losses will not be fully realized. Accordingly, Hygeia provided for a full valuation allowance against its net operating loss deferred assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and at September 30, 2013.

 

As of December 31, 2011, Hygeia had a deferred tax asset of $687,671 that was fully reserved and a net operating loss carryforward of $1,719,178 for Federal and state tax purposes. As of December 31, 2012, Hygeia had a deferred tax asset of $723,901 that was fully reserved and a net operating loss carryforward of $1,809,752 for Federal and state tax purposes. As of September 30, 2013, Hygeia had a deferred tax asset of approximately $880,000 that was fully reserved and a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2,200,000 for Federal and state tax purposes. The ability of Hygeia to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards is subject to a number of conditions and significant changes in the ownership structure of Hygeia will significantly impact the availability of these net operating loss carryforwards to reduce taxable income in future periods.

 

The Company’s total deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax asset valuation allowance at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and September 30, 2013 are as follows:

 

           September 30, 
   2012   2011   2013 
           (unaudited) 
             
Federal and state net loss carryforwards  $1,809,752   $1,719,178   $2,200,000 
                
Deferred tax assets  $723,901   $687,671   $880,000 
Less valuation allowance   (723,901)   (687,671)   (880,000)
